Abstract
A composite pad and a battery cell assembly and a battery module including the composite pad are disclosed. In some implementations, the battery cell assembly comprises a plurality of battery cells arranged in a direction, and one or more pads, each pad disposed between two adjacent battery cells of the plurality of battery cells, at least one of the one or more pads including a pad body with elasticity, and a heat generating part coupled to the pad body and connected to an edge of the at least one of the one or more pads and configured to generate heat upon application of electric power to the heat generating part.
Claims20
A battery cell assembly comprising:
- a plurality of battery cells arranged in a direction;
- and
- one or more pads, each pad disposed between two adjacent battery cells of the plurality of battery cells, at least one of the one or more pads including:
- a pad body that exhibits elasticity;
- and
- a heat generating part coupled to the pad body and extending toward an edge of the at least one of the one or more pads, and configured to generate heat upon application of electric power to the heat generating part,
- wherein the at least one of the one or more pads includes a first pad face and a second pad face positioned opposite to the first pad face,
- wherein the heat generating part includes one or more heat generating columns,
- wherein the heat generating columns disposed on the first pad face and the heat generating columns disposed on the second pad face are alternately disposed.
A battery module comprising:
- a battery cell assembly including a plurality of battery cells arranged in a direction;
- a battery module case structured to accommodate the battery cell assembly;
- and
- one or more pads, each pad disposed between two adjacent battery cells of the plurality of battery cells, at least one of the one or more pads including:
- a pad body with elasticity;
- and
- a heat generating part coupled to the pad body and extending toward an edge of the at least one of the one or more pads and configured to generate heat upon application of electric power to the heat generating part,
- wherein the at least one of the one or more pads includes a first pad face and a second pad face positioned opposite to the first pad face,
- wherein the heat generating part includes one or more heat generating columns,
- wherein the heat generating columns disposed on the first pad face and the heat generating columns disposed on the second pad face are alternately disposed.
