[0002] The battery module is an intermediate energy storage unit between the battery cell and the battery pack. It is formed by connecting multiple cells in series and in parallel, and adding auxiliary structural parts that play the role of collecting current, collecting data, fixing and protecting the cells. The battery cells will generate a lot of heat during the discharge or charging process. If the heat accumulates inside the battery and is not dissipated in time, the temperature of the battery module will continue to rise, which will damage the battery module, cause the cell to bulge and deform, and cause permanent damage and failure of the battery.

[0003] However, most existing battery modules use external structures to dissipate heat for the battery cells, which results in a large overall battery system volume, high cost, uneven overall heat dissipation, and average heat dissipation effect. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, it further comprises a top plate, wherein the top plate is installed on the top of the main body.

[0008] Preferably, two tab terminals are further included, wherein the tab terminals are mounted on the end plate and connected to the battery cell.

[0009] Preferably, it further comprises a collecting component, and the collecting component is installed on the main body.

[0010] Preferably, two fixing belts are provided, one fixing belt is sleeved on the bottom end of the main body, and the other fixing belt is sleeved on the top end of the main body.
