Abstract
A battery pack including a plurality of battery cells aligned in a first column, a second column, and a third column; a bypass member, the bypass member including supporting surfaces that support the plurality of battery cells in the first and second columns, and forming a bypass flow path that bypasses the battery cells in the first and second columns; and compensation members, the compensation members including supporting surfaces that support the plurality of battery cells in the third column, wherein the supporting surfaces of the compensation members are substantially coplanar with the supporting surfaces of the bypass member.
Claims13
A battery pack, comprising:
- a plurality of battery cells aligned in a first column, a second column, and a third column;
- a bypass member, the bypass member:
- including supporting surfaces that support the plurality of battery cells in the first and second columns, and
- forming a bypass flow path, through which a cooling agent flows toward the battery cells in the third column with bypassing the battery cells in the first and second columns;
- and
- compensation members to guide the cooling agent from the bypass flow path toward sidewalls of the battery cells in the third column and upward of upper surfaces of the compensation members, the upper surfaces of the compensation members supporting the plurality of battery cells in the third column,
- wherein a height of the upper surfaces of the compensation members are substantially same as a height of the supporting surfaces of the bypass member, and wherein
- a sloped surface is between the bypass member and the compensation members and between the batter cells in the second column and the battery cells in the third column, the sloped surface guiding the cooling agent from the bypass flow path to upper portions of the compensation members such that the cooling agent flows with contacting the sidewalls of the battery cells in the third column.
