Abstract
An apparatus for storing one or more battery modules (100) comprising a containment tray (300, 500, 700, 1000) defined by opposing front and back faces (314, 316, 714, 716, 1014, 1016), opposing side faces (318, 718, 1018), and opposing top and bottom surfaces (310, 312, 522, 532, 710, 712 1010, 1011, 1012) oriented perpendicular to the front, back, and side faces, wherein the containment tray has a receiving area (302, 518, 702, 1002) formed in the top surface for receiving one or more battery modules, the receiving area comprising a receiving surface (320, 520, 720, 1020) oriented parallel to and located between the opposing top and bottom surfaces for supporting the one or more battery modules.

An apparatus for storing one or more battery modules (100) comprising a containment tray (300, 500, 700, 1000) defined by opposing front and back faces (314, 316, 714, 716, 1014, 1016), opposing side faces (318, 718, 1018), and opposing top and bottom surfaces (310, 312, 522, 532, 710, 712, 1010, 1011, 1012) oriented perpendicular to the front, back, and side faces (318, 718, 1018), wherein the containment tray (300, 500, 700, 1000) has a receiving area (302, 518, 702, 1002) formed in the top surface (302, 312, 712, 1011, 1012) for receiving one or more battery modules (100), the receiving area (302, 518, 702, 1002) comprising a receiving surface (320, 520, 720, 1020) oriented parallel to and located between the opposing top and bottom surfaces (310, 312, 522, 532, 710, 712, 1010, 1011, 1012) for supporting the one or more battery modules (100).
The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the front and back faces (314, 316, 714, 716, 1014, 1016) are oriented in parallel and separated by a distance that defines a width of the containment tray (300, 500, 700, 1000), the side faces (318, 718, 1018) are oriented perpendicular to the front and back faces (314, 316, 714, 716, 1014, 1016) and separated by a distance that defines a length of the containment tray (300, 500, 700, 1000), and the top and bottom surfaces (310, 312, 522, 532, 710, 712, 1010, 1011, 1012) are separated by a distance that defines a height of the containment tray (300, 500, 700, 1000).
A containment system (200, 400, 600, 900) comprising:
- two or more containment trays (300, 500, 700, 1000) stacked in a parallel orientation to form a stack, each containment tray (300, 500, 700, 1000) comprising:
- opposing front and back faces (314, 316, 714, 716, 1014, 1016), opposing side faces (318, 718, 1018), and opposing top and bottom surfaces (310, 312, 522, 532, 710, 712, 1010, 1011, 1012), wherein the opposing top and bottom surfaces (310, 312, 522, 532, 710, 712, 1010, 1011, 1012) are oriented perpendicular to the opposing front and back faces (314, 316, 714, 716, 1014, 1016) and the opposing side faces (318, 718, 1018);
- and
- a receiving area (302, 518, 702, 1002) configured to receive one or more battery modules (100), the receiving area (302, 518, 702, 1002) comprising a receiving surface (320, 520, 720, 1020) oriented parallel to and located between the opposing top and bottom surfaces (310, 312, 522, 532, 710, 712, 1010, 1011, 1012) for supporting the one or more battery modules (100).
