Application: Battery module mounting structure for a vehicle (Patent ID: US20240106054A1)
The patent filed by Kia Corp. describes a battery module mounting structure for a vehicle that includes a first case, a second case, and a mounting plate to securely hold the battery module in place. The mounting plate is designed to create a flow path for air circulation between the battery module and itself, ensuring efficient cooling of the battery cells. Additionally, the structure includes sealing members to maintain airtightness and pressure within the flow path, enhancing the overall performance and safety of the battery module.
Furthermore, the design of the battery module mounting structure allows for the integration of a module duct with an air inlet on one side of the battery module, facilitating the distribution of air to the battery cells. The elongated flow path formed by the mounting plate ensures that the air passes through the battery cells in a systematic manner, optimizing the cooling process. The structure also includes provisions for connecting the flow path to a blower through a blower duct, enhancing the overall efficiency of the cooling system. Overall, the innovative design of the battery module mounting structure aims to improve the performance, safety, and longevity of the battery module in a vehicle application.
