Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A battery module comprising: a plurality of battery cells; and a container containing the battery cells, wherein the container includes a housing containing the battery cells; and a plate-shaped member thermally connected to the housing and partitioning a space in which the battery cells of the housing are accommodated into a plurality of spaces, wherein the plate-shaped member includes a thermally conductive elastic body and a thermally conductive plate disposed on one or both sides of the thermally conductive elastic body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A battery module comprising: a plurality of battery cells; and a container that accommodates the battery cells, wherein: the container includes a housing that accommodates the battery cells, and a plate-shaped member that is thermally connected to the housing and partitions a space of the housing in which the battery cells are accommodated into a plurality of spaces; and the plate-shaped member includes a thermally conductive elastic body and a thermally conductive plate disposed on one side or both sides of the thermally conductive elastic body. 2 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the plate-shaped member includes a thermally conductive elastic body and thermally conductive plates disposed on both sides of the thermally conductive elastic body. 3 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of a side wall that surrounds the space of the housing in which the battery cells are accommodated includes a thermally conductive elastic body. 4 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the space of the housing in which the battery cells are accommodated is in a rectangular shape surrounded by two pairs of opposed side walls, and at least one pair of opposed side walls includes a thermally conductive elastic body. 5 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the plate-shaped member has a flow path through which a refrigerant flows, the flow path being provided inside the plate-shaped member.
