摘要:
A prismatic battery module includes a prismatic battery case (3) having a plurality of prismatic cell cases (4) connected to one another through separation walls (5), a planar electroconductive connector (16, 17) forming part of the separation wall (5) between the cell cases (4), an electrode plate group (8) arranged in each cell case (4), and an electrolyte placed in each cell case (4). Lead portions (9a, 9b) of positive electrode plates and negative electrode plates of the electrode plate group (8) are directly connected to the electroconductive connector (16, 17). The prismatic battery module requires fewer connection points and provides shorter electrical communication paths, thereby reducing internal resistance.

In a battery pack (1) wherein a plurality of battery modules (2) provided with safety vents (10) for discharging gas are arranged in parallel, a gas discharging device (16) is provided in which discharge outlets (14) of the safety vents of the respective battery modules are connected to discharge gas tubes (17) installed in the alignment direction of the battery modules and connected to an external discharging section, in such a manner that changes in the intervals between the discharge outlets of respective safety vents due to expansion of the battery modules are absorbed by expansion or displacement of the discharge gas tubes.
摘要:
A plurality of prismatic cell cases (4) having short lateral walls and long lateral walls are coupled together such that each of the short lateral walls of these cell cases is common to two adjacent cell cases as partitions (9), thereby constituting an integral battery case (3) of a battery module (2). A large number of projections (16, 17) are formed dispersedly on both side faces of the battery module for forming coolant passages between two battery modules when butted with corresponding plurality of projections formed on both sides of an adjacent battery module. The height (h) of the projections (16) positioned opposite the partitions in the integral battery case is set lower than the height (H) of the other projections (17).
摘要:
On the opposite end walls (8) of a flat, prismatic battery case (2) of a battery module (1) where electrode terminals (12) are attached, protruding components (26) are formed such as to protrude further than the electrode terminals. Terminal holes (10) are formed in the end walls in which the electrode terminals are fitted, and the thickness of the end walls of the integral battery case in the vicinity of the terminal holes is not the same on both sides of each of the terminal holes. Also, one of a plurality of vertical and horizontal ribs are formed on the end walls between the electrode terminals and the protruding components.

On the opposite end walls (8) of a flat, primatic battery case (2) of a battery module (1) where electrode terminals (12) are attached, protruding components (26) are formed such as to protrude further than the electrode terminals. Terminal holes (10) are formed in the end walls in which the electrode terminals are fitted, and the thickness of the end walls of the integral battery case in the vicinity of the terminal holes is not the same on both sides of each of the terminal holes. Also, each of the electrode terminals has a mounting structure comprising a disk-shaped seat (12a) from one surface of which the electrode terminal protrudes, a connecting protrusion (24) protruding from an opposite surface of the electrode terminal, an annular groove (40a) formed around and coaxial with said connecting protrusion, and an annular protrusion (40) around and coaxial with said annular groove. The engagement tabs (38) are formed extending radially and centred around the connecting protrusion. The engagement grooves (37) and the circular recess are connected and coplanar. The engagement tabs (38) and the annular protrusion (40) are connected and coplanar.
