Abstract
A battery module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a plurality of secondary battery cells, a housing member in which the plurality of secondary battery cells are accommodated, and a multilayer member provided between the plurality of secondary battery cells, at least a portion of the multilayer member in a first direction being formed of a material having a thermal conductivity lower than that of other portions thereof.
Claims12
A battery module comprising:
- a plurality of secondary battery cells;
- a housing member structured to accommodate the plurality of secondary battery cells;
- and
- a multilayer member provided between the plurality of secondary battery cells, at least a portion of the multilayer member in a first direction including a material having a thermal conductivity lower than that of other portions thereof,
- wherein the multilayer member comprises:
- a fireproof portion forming an outer layer adjacent to the secondary battery cell;
- and
- a heat transfer prevention portion in contact with the fireproof portion on both sides of the heat transfer prevention portion to form an inner layer, and including a material having a thermal conductivity lower than a thermal conductivity of the fireproof portion,
- wherein the fireproof portion has a thickness that is less than a thickness of the heat transfer prevention portion at a central portion of the multilayer member in contact with the secondary battery cell,
- wherein the fireproof portion has a thickness that is equal to or greater than a thickness of the heat transfer prevention portion at two opposite side portions of the multilayer member in contact with the secondary battery cell.
