The present disclosure relates to a battery module including a cartridge stack including a plurality of secondary batteries which each include an electrode lead and a plurality of cartridges which each accommodate at least one of the plurality of secondary batteries such that at least a portion of the electrode lead protrudes outwardly, and which are stacked in a plurality of stages, and an ICB housing which includes a stepped connection end, a power terminal installed fixedly to the connection end, and a bus bar electrically connecting the electrode lead with the power terminal, and which is mounted on a surface of the cartridge stack, in which the bus bar includes a first connection part which is provided in opposition to the power terminal, having the connection end therebetween, and is connected with the electrode lead, a second connection part which is provided in opposition to the first connection part, having the connection end therebetween, and is connected with the power terminal, and a connection part which connects the first connection part with the second connection part and is embedded in the connection end.

Battery module and battery pack including same

Disclosed is a battery module, including a cartridge laminate including a plurality of secondary batteries, each having an electrode lead, and a plurality of cartridges configured to respectively accommodate at least one secondary battery among the secondary batteries and stacked at multi stages; an integrated circuit board (ICB) housing having a bus bar connected to the electrode lead at a predetermined connection point and coupled to one surface of the cartridge laminate; and a sensing unit having a connection wire disposed to pass through the ICB housing and connected to the bus bar to allow voltages of the secondary batteries to be sensed, wherein the ICB housing further includes a wire fixing unit having a wire fixing recess formed by indenting an outer surface of the ICB housing toward an inner surface of the ICB housing to be located near the inner surface of the ICB housing in comparison to the connection point, and at least a part of the connection wire is inserted into and fixed in the wire fixing recess.

Battery module and battery pack including the same

A battery module is provided. A battery module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cartridge assembly including a plurality of cartridges, each cartridge accommodating a battery cell, a casing including an opening formed therein and accommodating the cartridge assembly through the opening and surrounding the cartridge assembly, and a cover coupled to the opening of the casing.

Battery module, battery pack including same, and method for manufacturing casing for battery module

Provided is a battery module. The battery module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a cartridge assembly including a plurality of cartridges configured to receive battery cells; a substrate protecting body combined to the cartridge assembly; a casing configured to receive the cartridge assembly and the substrate protecting body and surround the cartridge assembly and the substrate protecting body; and a cover capable of being combined to the casing.

Provided is a battery module. The battery module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a cartridge assembly including a plurality of cartridges receiving battery cells; a substrate protecting body combined to the cartridge assembly; a casing receiving the cartridge assembly and the substrate protecting body and surrounding the cartridge assembly and the substrate protecting body; and a cover combined to the casing, wherein the substrate protecting body includes a interval retaining unit so that a main body of the substrate protecting body is separated from the casing at a predetermined interval.

Provided is a test apparatus including a fixing jig for vibration test of a battery pack. The fixing jig includes at least one upper block that is coupled to at least one coupler formed in the battery pack, a lower block placed below the at least one upper block, and a base plate having a board shaped and placed below the lower block.

Test apparatus including a fixing jig for vibration test of battery pack

A battery module including an array of cooling fins having different thicknesses is provided. The battery module includes: a plurality of battery units arranged in one direction; a plurality of cooling fins between adjacent battery units; and a heat sink coupled to ends of the plurality of cooling fins, wherein each cooling fin has a structure in which a pair of sub-cooling fins are face-to-face coupled to each other, and thicknesses of the plurality of cooling fins are reduced toward the side region from the central region due to a difference in a thickness of at least one of the pair of sub-cooling fins. Since heat is not accumulated at the central region, the battery module has uniform temperature distribution while being charged or discharged.

Battery module including array of cooling fins having different thicknesses

A cartridge for a secondary battery, according to an aspect of the present disclosure, includes a lower cartridge and an upper cartridge capable of being assembled with each other with at least one secondary battery therebetween. The lower cartridge includes a cell guide unit having two inner wall surfaces that protrude upward in at least one corner area of the lower cartridge from other areas and are adjacent to each other at right angles to each other, and the upper cartridge includes a cell guide assembly unit having a shape lit for the cell guide unit.
