Abstract

A conductive sheet and a battery conducting module, wherein the battery conducting module is adapted to electrically connect electrodes of a plurality of batteries which are arranged side by side, and includes two conductive sheets. Each of the conductive sheets includes a connecting portion, two first conducting portions, and two second conducting portions. The connecting portion has a first side and a second side. The two first conducting portions are spaced from each other by a distance and are connected to the first side, and extend along a first direction. The two second conducting portions are spaced from each other by a distance and are connected to the second side, and extend along a second direction. The second direction is opposite to the first direction. The conductive sheets are respectively adapted to connect the electrodes of batteries and are disposed facing each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A conductive sheet, comprising:
a connecting portion, having a first side and a second side, which are opposite to each other;
two first conducting portions, which are spaced from each other by a distance and are connected to the first side of the connecting portion, wherein, both of the two first conducting portions extend along a first direction; and
two second conducting portions, which are spaced from each other by a distance and are connected to the second side of the connecting portion, wherein, both of the two second conducting portions extend along a second direction;
wherein the two first conducting portions and the two second conducting portions are arranged in a longitudinal axis direction of the connecting portion in a manner that each of the first conducting portions is non-symmetric with each of the second conducting portions with respect to the longitudinal axis, the first side and the second side of the connecting portion are separated by the longitudinal axis;
wherein each of the first conducting portions has a first extension section, a first bending section, and a first connecting section; the first extension section is connected to the first side; a side of the first bending section is connected to a side of the first extension section facing the first direction, and another side of the first bending section is connected to the first connecting section; each of the second conducting portions has a second extension section, a second bending section, and a second connecting section, wherein the second extension section is connected to the second side; a side of the second bending section is connected to a side of the second extension section facing the second direction, and another side of the second bending section is connected to the second connecting section.

2. The conductive sheet of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting sections and the second connecting sections are substantially located on the same plane; the connecting portion is located on a plane different from the first connecting sections and the second connecting sections.

3. A battery conducting module, which is adapted to connect a plurality of batteries which are arranged side by side, wherein each of the batteries has a first electrode and a second electrode; the first electrodes and the second electrodes of the plurality of batteries are alternately arranged; the battery conducting module comprising:
two conductive sheets as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two first conducting portions and the two second conducting portions of one of the conductive sheets are adapted to respectively connect the first electrodes of the plurality of batteries, and the two first conducting portions and the two second conducting portions of another conductive sheet are adapted to respectively connect the second electrodes of the plurality of batteries;
wherein the connecting portion of each of the conductive sheets has a first surface and a second surface which is opposite to the first surface; the first surface and the second surface are disposed between the first side and the second side; the second surface of the connecting portion of one of the conductive sheets faces the second surface of the connecting portion of another conductive sheet.

4. The battery conducting module of claim 3 , wherein a projection area of the second surface of one of the conductive sheets at least partially overlaps a projection area of the second surface of another conductive sheet in a direction perpendicular to the second surface.

5. The battery conducting module of claim 3 , wherein the two conductive sheets have an interval left therebetween.

6. The battery conducting module of claim 3 , wherein the two first conducting portions of one of the conductive sheets and the two second conducting portions of another conductive sheet are substantially on the same straight line.

7. The battery conducting module of claim 3 , wherein the two first conducting portions of one of the conductive sheets and the two second conducting portions of another conductive sheet are alternately arranged.

8. The battery conducting module of claim 3 , wherein the two first conducting portions and the two second conducting portions of the conductive sheets are substantially located on the same plane.

9. A conductive sheet, comprising:
a connecting portion, having a first side and a second side, which are opposite to each other;
two first conducting portions, which are spaced from each other by a distance and are connected to the first side of the connecting portion, wherein, both of the two first conducting portions extend along a first direction; and
two second conducting portions, which are spaced from each other by a distance and are connected to the second side of the connecting portion, wherein, both of the two second conducting portions extend along a second direction;
wherein the two first conducting portions and the two second conducting portions are arranged in a longitudinal axis direction of the connecting portion in a manner that each of the first conducting portions is non-symmetric with each of the second conducting portions with respect to the longitudinal axis, the first side and the second side of the connecting portion are separated by the longitudinal axis;
wherein the connecting portion comprises a main portion, a first attached portion, and a second attached portion; the first attached portion and the second attached portion are respectively connected to two ends of the main portion; the first attached portion is substantially parallel to the second attached portion; the first attached portion has the first side, and the second attached portion has the second side.

10. The conductive sheet of claim 9 , wherein each of the first conducting portions has a first bending section and a first connecting section; each of the first bending sections is connected between the first side of the first attached portion and the first connecting section; each of the second conducting portions has a second bending section and a second connecting section; each of the second bending sections is connected between the second side of the second attached portion and the second connecting section.
