[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery technology, specifically to a heat-insulated lithium battery module. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems, lithium batteries have become one of the most widely used energy storage technologies. A lithium battery module consists of multiple lithium battery cells connected in series or parallel to achieve the required voltage and capacity. Lithium battery modules require mounting brackets for assembly.
[0003] Patent CN220368061U discloses a lithium battery module bracket with heat insulation function, including a lithium battery module, a lower bracket, and an upper bracket. The lower bracket has an mounting cavity at its bottom, into which the bottom end of the lithium battery module is embedded. Side heat insulation cavities and bottom heat insulation cavities are respectively provided between the outer wall and bottom surface of the mounting cavity and the inner wall of the lower bracket. A heat insulation pad is provided between the inner wall of the side heat insulation cavity and the lithium battery module, and a heat insulation layer is provided on the inner wall of the bottom heat insulation cavity. By providing the side heat insulation cavity, bottom heat insulation cavity, heat insulation pad, and heat insulation layer, heat transfer between the lithium battery module and the bracket can be effectively isolated, preventing safety accidents caused by excessive temperature and providing effective heat insulation. Simultaneously, it can prevent bracket deformation and loosening caused by temperature differences, thereby improving the stability and safety of the lithium battery module and extending its service life and safety.
[0004] Although the existing technologies mentioned above can effectively isolate the heat transfer between the lithium battery module and the bracket through side heat insulation cavity, bottom heat insulation cavity, heat insulation pad and heat insulation layer, the heat generated by the lithium battery module will be sealed in the cavity formed by the upper bracket and the lower bracket, which is not conducive to heat dissipation, affects the safety of the lithium battery module and poses a risk of overheating. In view of this, we propose a heat-insulated lithium battery module. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat-insulated lithium battery module to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
