Battery module with electrically connected cell stacks

The patent US12046735B2 describes a battery module designed to enhance the efficiency and connectivity of multiple cell stacks. Each module consists of several cell stacks, with each stack containing multiple unit cells aligned in a specific direction. The module housing features receiving parts that accommodate these cell stacks, arranged in two columns. The design allows for electrical connections between adjacent cell stacks, facilitated by stack bus bars and connection bus bars. Additionally, terminal bus bars extend from the cell stacks, enabling connections to external systems. The configuration promotes effective space utilization and electrical interconnectivity, with terminal bus bars arranged alternately to optimize layout.
Further enhancements include a module bus bar that extends outside the housing for integration with adjacent modules, and a coupler mechanism that ensures secure connections between modules. The design incorporates impact-absorbing spaces and structural supports to enhance durability and performance. Cooling channels are also integrated into the module housing to manage thermal conditions effectively. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to battery module design, focusing on modularity, electrical efficiency, and structural integrity, which could be beneficial for various applications in energy storage systems.
