Abstract
A heating sheet and a battery module are provided. The battery module includes multiple battery cells and a heating sheet. The heating sheet includes multiple heating units and multiple connection units, and two adjacent heating units are coupled with each other through a connection unit. One heating unit may be attached to a side wall of one battery cell, and the connection unit corresponds to the gap region.
Claims18
A battery module, comprising:
- a plurality of battery cells;
- and
- a heating sheet, wherein,
- two adjacent battery cells are in contact with each other, and a gap region is defined between side walls of the two adjacent battery cells;
- the heating sheet comprises a plurality of heating units and a plurality of connection units, two adjacent heating units are coupled with each other through a connection unit, a heating unit is attached to a side wall of a battery cell, and the connection unit corresponds to the gap region;
- the heating unit comprises an insulating film and a heating wire laid on the insulating film, and the heating wire has an inflow end and an outflow end;
- the connection unit comprises a first connection film and a first conductive wire laid on the first connection film, the outflow end of the heating unit is electrically coupled with the inflow end of an adjacent heating unit through the first conductive wire, and two insulating films of the two adjacent heating units are connected with each other through the first connection film;
- the insulating film and the first connection film are located on the same plane parallel to the side wall of the battery cell, and the heating wire and the first conductive wire are located on the same plane parallel to the side wall of the battery cell;
- the first conductive wire has a routing density less than the heating wire, or the first conductive wire has a cross-sectional area larger than the heating wire, such that the connection unit has a heat productivity per unit area less than the heating unit;
- and
- the first conductive wire has a size larger than the heating wire in an extension direction of the gap region, and/or the first conductive wire has a width larger than the heating wire in a direction parallel to the side wall of the battery cell.
