    Abstract: A battery module includes: a case body for storing a plurality of cells each having an exhaust gas valve; an exhaust passage for releasing, to the outside of the case body, the high-pressure and high-temperature exhaust gas having come from the cells; and a flow route changing unit that is disposed in the exhaust passage, has a hole for passing the exhaust gas, and elongates the flow route of the exhaust gas from the upstream side to the downstream side of the exhaust passage by changing the flow direction of the exhaust gas a plurality of times in a zigzag manner along at least one of the width and height directions of the exhaust passage. The flow route changing unit includes a plurality of flat plates each having a hole for passing the exhaust gas.

    Abstract: A battery pack includes a battery module and a pack case. The battery module includes a plurality of cylindrical batteries each including, at one end in a specified direction, a battery exhaust valve that opens in response to an increase in internal pressure; and a battery holder including a plurality of housing parts for the one ends of the cylindrical batteries in the specified direction to be inserted. The pack case houses the battery module and internally includes an exhaust passage for gas exhausted from at least one of the plurality of cylindrical batteries to be exhausted out of the pack case. Each of the plurality of housing parts includes a lid part facing the battery exhaust valve of a corresponding cylindrical battery. The lid part includes an opening cover part that creates a larger holder opening with a greater outside diameter than the battery exhaust valve, and the opening cover part includes a ring-shaped or incomplete ring-shaped outer periphery that is defined by a weak part with less strength than a part external to the opening cover part.

    Abstract: A battery module includes a partition wall to separate an upper space from a lower space, a first plate that defines the upper space together with the partition wall, and a second plate that is disposed above the first plate such that a gap is left between the first and second plates. A case has an opening that is formed to let the gap communicate with an outside of the case. The first plate has a through hole through which the upper space and the gap communicate. The battery module further includes a through path passing through the partition wall and each of the plates to let the lower space communicate with a space above the second plate. The upper space and the gap constitute an exhaust duct, while the lower space and a top space constitute a cooling duct.

    Abstract: A battery module includes: cells; and a battery holder made of a resin material that contains a filler in a resin matrix. In the resin material of the battery holder, the lower limit of the content of the filler is determined on the basis of the endothermic amount, and the upper limit of the content of the filler is determined on the basis of the viscosity. Another battery module includes: cells; and a battery holder having a plurality of tubular first accommodation portions each having a substantially hexagonal hole and a plurality of tubular second accommodation portions each having a substantially polygonal (heptagonal or more) hole. In the battery holder, the first accommodation portions and second accommodation portions are arranged in a manner of log pile by sandwiching a first column including the first accommodation portions between second columns including the second accommodation portions.
