Abstract
A battery module includes a battery cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked in one direction, a module frame that houses the battery cell stack, a busbar that electrically connects the battery cell stack and an external member, a busbar frame that covers the front surface or rear surface of the battery cell stack and to which the busbar is attached, and an end plate that is coupled to the module frame and covers the busbar frame, wherein at least one opening is formed in the end plate. The protrusion of the busbar is exposed to the outside through the opening, and wherein a gap between the busbar protrusion and the opening is closed by a gasket.
Claims12
A battery module comprising:
- a battery cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked in a first direction,
- a module frame that houses the battery cell stack,
- a busbar that electrically connects the battery cell stack and an external member,
- a busbar frame that covers a front surface or a rear surface of the battery cell stack and to which the busbar is attached, and
- an end plate that is coupled to the module frame and covers the busbar frame,
- wherein at least one opening is formed in the end plate,
- wherein a busbar protrusion is exposed to the outside through the at least one opening,
- wherein a gap between the busbar protrusion and the at least one opening is closed by a gasket,
- wherein the gasket comprises a gasket hole into which the busbar protrusion is inserted, and a contact part extending outwardly from a periphery of the gasket hole,
- wherein the contact part comprises a first contact surface facing an inside of the battery module, the first contact surface contacting an outer surface of the busbar frame, and
- wherein the first contact surface is formed with a first protrusion.
