AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the event of thermal runaway, existing battery cells and modules are prone to short circuits caused by fragments, which can lead to the spread of fire. Furthermore, fire extinguishing agents are difficult to effectively reach the fire source, affecting safety and stability.

Method used

The monolithic cover and upper insulating component, made of mica material, cover the joint and venting parts of the electrode assembly to prevent debris from splashing out, and limit heat transfer through layered insulating material. Combined with the bracket and cover, the busbar is protected to prevent short circuits.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents internal debris from splashing out of battery cells, reduces the risk of short circuits, improves the safety and stability of battery modules, ensures that the extinguishing agent can effectively extinguish fires, and prevents the fire from spreading.
