Battery arrangement with heat-conducting compound and sealing element
The patent US12046771B2 describes a novel battery arrangement designed to enhance thermal management and gas release during operation. The arrangement consists of a lower housing part and a cover, housing at least one battery module with battery cells. Notably, the upper side of the battery module is positioned away from the housing cover, creating a space filled with a heat-conducting compound. This design includes a sealing element that partially seals this space, while a separate degassing region is provided to facilitate the escape of gases from the battery cells. Each cell's degassing device is strategically located on the upper side, allowing for efficient gas release without interference from the heat-conducting compound.
Further claims detail the configuration of the sealing element, which surrounds the battery module, and the design of the degassing channel that extends over the battery module's upper side. This channel is intended to overlap with the degassing devices of adjacent battery cells, ensuring effective gas management. Additionally, the housing cover may feature ventilation openings to further assist in gas release. The arrangement also emphasizes the importance of insulation layers to protect cell pole connections while maintaining the functionality of the degassing system. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to improving battery safety and performance through innovative structural design.
