Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed herein is a battery module including a battery pack in which battery cells for an electric vehicle are formed in the form of a bundle, wave type gauge bars which are disposed on both side surfaces of the battery pack and in which a plurality of valleys and ridges are formed, and a fire extinguishing support disposed between the gauge bar and the battery pack.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A battery module comprising: a battery pack ( 100 ) in which battery cells for an electric vehicle are formed in a form of a bundle; wave type gauge bars ( 200 ) which are disposed on both side surfaces of the battery pack ( 100 ) and in which a plurality of valleys and ridges are formed; and a fire extinguishing support ( 300 ) disposed between each of the gauge bars ( 200 ) and the battery pack ( 100 ). 2 . The battery module of claim 1 , wherein, when each of the gauge bars ( 200 ) expands and comes into contact with the battery pack ( 100 ), each of the gauge bars ( 200 ) is deformed in a straight line form. 3 . The battery module of claim 1 , wherein the fire extinguishing support ( 300 ) includes: a support side ( 310 ) in contact with and coupled to each of the gauge bars ( 200 ); and a contact portion ( 320 ) disposed to face the battery pack ( 100 ), wherein a switch ( 321 ) is formed on an outer surface of the contact portion ( 320 ) facing the battery pack ( 100 ), and the switch ( 321 ) operates when the switch ( 321 ) comes into contact with one side of the battery pack ( 100 ). 4 . The battery module of claim 3 , wherein the fire extinguishing support ( 300 ) sprays a fire extinguishing medium through the operation of the switch ( 321 ) so that a fire extinguishing atmosphere is formed in the battery pack ( 100 ). 5 . The battery module of claim 3 , wherein the fire extinguishing support ( 300 ) is formed in a T-shaped cross section. 6 . The battery module of claim 1 , wherein each of the gauge bars ( 200 ) is formed in a curved shape such that a plurality of straight paths form the plurality of valleys and ridges. 7 . The battery module of claim 6 , wherein a bent portion formed by the plurality of straight paths of each of the gauge bars ( 200 ) includes an elastic material (E), the elastic material (E) being formed in a spherical shape. 8 . The battery module of claim 1 , wherein each of the gauge bars ( 200 ) is formed as an extension of a general curve.
