Abstract
The present disclosure provides a battery module including a center cartridge assembly, on which a plurality of battery cells are arrayed and seated, including a cooling plate inner installed therein and configured to cool a part of each of the battery cells, a side cooling cover assembly which is coupled to two sides of the center cartridge assembly to protect the battery cells seated on the center cartridge assembly and includes a cooling plate outer attached thereto and configured to cool a part of each of the battery cells, and a busbar housing assembly which is coupled to an upper portion of the center cartridge assembly and includes one or more output busbars installed thereon and configured to be electrically connected to an electrode exposed at an upper portion of each of the battery cells.
Claims16
A battery module comprising:
- a center cartridge assembly, on which a plurality of battery cells are arrayed and seated, including a cooling plate inner installed therein and configured to cool a part of each of the battery cells, wherein the center cartridge assembly further includes a center cartridge having an exposed upper portion to which the battery cells are inserted, a bottom surface having openings through which a portion of electrodes of the battery cells is exposed, and a front surface and rear surface which are closed wall structures, and two opposite sides;
- a side cooling cover assembly which is coupled to the sides of the center cartridge assembly covering the two opposite sides and a portion of the bottom surface of the center cartridge assembly to protect the battery cells seated on the center cartridge assembly, the side cooling cover assembly including a cooling plate outer attached thereto and configured to cool the battery cells;
- and
- a busbar housing assembly which is coupled to an upper portion of the center cartridge assembly and includes one or more output busbars installed thereon and configured to be electrically connected to an electrode exposed at an upper portion of each of the battery cells.
A battery module comprising a center cartridge assembly, on which a plurality of battery cells are arrayed and seated, including a cooling plate inner installed therein and configured to serve to cool a part of each of the battery cells,
- wherein the center cartridge assembly further includes:
- a center cartridge having an exposed upper portion to which the battery cells are inserted;
- a bottom surface having openings through which a portion of electrodes of the battery cells is exposed;
- a left portion and a right portion which are exposed to allow surfaces of the battery cells to be exposed;
- a front surface and a rear surface which are closed wall structures;
- one or more connection busbars which are connected to the electrodes of the battery cells to connect the electrodes of the battery cells to each other;
- and
- a side cooling cover assembly which is coupled to sides of the center cartridge assembly covering the left portion, the right portion, and a portion of the bottom surface of the center cartridge assembly to protect the battery cells seated on the center cartridge assembly, and
- wherein the cooling plate inner of the center cartridge assembly is configured to divide a space of the center cartridge assembly into which the battery cells are inserted into two spaces and to cool parts of the battery cells which face the cooling plate inner.
