Battery module receiving apparatus, battery module thermostat, and power storage system comprising the same

摘要

Disclosed is a battery module receiving apparatus of a rectangular parallelepiped shape having an inner space with the open front and rear, in which a plurality of battery cell insertion slots are formed at corresponding locations on the upper plate and the lower plate constituting the inner space to erectly insert a plurality of battery cells, and a plurality of heat transfer plate insertion slots are formed adjacent to a plurality of the battery cell insertion slots to erectly insert a plurality of heat transfer plates. A battery pack and a stack-type power storage system may be implemented by inserting a battery module through the front of the battery module receiving apparatus and a battery module thermostat through the rear of the battery module receiving apparatus.

主权项

1. A battery module receiving apparatus having an inner space for receiving a plurality of plate-like battery cells and a plurality of heat transfer plates of a thermostat, the battery module receiving apparatus comprising:
first and second side plates provided opposite to each other to form the opposite side surfaces of the inner space; an upper plate connecting the upper edges of the first and second side plates to form an upper surface of the inner space; and a lower plate, opposite to the upper plate, connecting the lower edges of the first and second side plates to form a lower surface of the inner space, wherein a plurality of battery cell insertion slots are formed on the lower surface of the upper plate and the upper surface of the lower plate at corresponding locations parallel to the first and second side plates to erectly insert a plurality of the battery cells, wherein a plurality of heat transfer plate insertion slots are formed adjacent to a plurality of the battery cell insertion slots on the lower surface of the upper plate and the upper surface of the lower plate at corresponding locations parallel to the first and second side plates to erectly insert the heat transfer plates and allow the heat transfer plates to closely contact the surfaces of the battery cells, wherein the plurality of the battery cell insertion slots are formed starting from a front end of the upper plate and the lower plate and ending with a location spaced away from a rear end at a predetermined distance so that plurality of the battery cells are only inserted through a front of the battery module receiving apparatus, and when a plurality of the battery cells are inserted, the electrode tabs of the battery cell are exposed at a location spaced away inwards from the front end of the battery module receiving apparatus, and wherein a plurality of the heat transfer plate insertion slots are formed starting from the rear end of the upper plate and the lower plate and ending with a location spaced away from the front end at a redetermined distance so that a plurality of the heat transfer plates are only inserted through a rear of the battery module receiving apparatus.
