Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a battery pack including a battery module having a plurality of battery cells, and a heat dissipation member provided in contact with a bus bar at a side surface of the battery module where electrode leads of the battery cells and the bus bar coupled to the electrode leads are disposed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A battery pack, comprising: a battery module having a plurality of battery cells; and a heat dissipation member provided in contact with a bus bar at a side surface of the battery module where electrode leads of the plurality of battery cells and the bus bar coupled to the electrode leads are disposed. 2 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of battery modules, each battery module having a plurality of battery cells and a side surface where electrode leads of the plurality of battery cells and the bus bar coupled to the electrode leads are disposed, wherein the plurality of battery modules are provided in a single layer and arranged in at least one row or column. 3 . The battery pack according to claim 2 , wherein the heat dissipation member has a cavity formed therein, wherein the plurality of battery modules are disposed in the cavity, and wherein the heat dissipation member surrounds the side surface of each of the plurality of battery modules. 4 . The battery pack according to claim 3 , wherein the heat dissipation member has a band shape to surround rims of the plurality of battery modules, and wherein the heat dissipation member is in contact with the bus bar. 5 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation member includes: a thermal pad coupled to the bus bar at the side surface of the battery module; and a heatsink coupled to the thermal pad. 6 . The battery pack according to claim 5 , wherein the heatsink is configured to form a flow path so that a fluid for cooling flows therethrough. 7 . The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation member has a height corresponding to a height of the side surface of the battery module. 8 . A vehicle, comprising a battery pack according to claim 1 . 9 . A heat dissipation apparatus for dissipating heat generated by a battery module having a plurality of cells, the heat dissipation apparatus comprising a heat dissipation member provided in contact with a bus bar of the battery module at a side surface of the battery module where electrode leads of the plurality of battery cells and the bus bar coupled to the electrode leads are disposed.
