[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a heat insulation pad for a battery pack, including a heat insulation pad body 1. The heat insulation pad body 1 includes a heat insulation layer 2. A flame retardant layer 3 and a buffer layer 4 are sequentially disposed on the upper and lower sides of the heat insulation layer 2. A thermally conductive layer 5 is attached to the outer side of both the buffer layer 4 and the flame retardant layer 3. The heat insulation pad body 1 has excellent mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties, and can withstand certain pressure and impact, protecting the safe operation of the battery and other electrical equipment. The heat insulation layer 2, flame retardant layer 3, buffer layer 4 and thermally conductive layer 5 can enhance the performance of the heat insulation pad body 1 and improve its service life.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer layer 4 is made of silicone foam. Silicone foam is a polymeric elastomer that combines the high elasticity of silicone with the sound insulation and shock absorption properties of foam materials. Its porous and low-density characteristics make it widely used in vibration damping pads, sealing gaskets, sound-absorbing materials, and insulation materials. Silicone foam has excellent sound insulation, shock absorption, and flame-retardant properties, making it suitable for components such as electric vehicle seats and headrests, as well as for insulation and protection of critical parts such as battery packs and wiring harnesses. Furthermore, silicone foam also has excellent resistance to compression set and creep, resisting material collapse after long-term use and extending battery life.

[0022] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the thermal insulation layer 2 is composed of aerogel material. Aerogel is an advanced material composed of silica aerogel and a fiber substrate, characterized by low thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance limit, lightweight, and excellent thermal insulation and fire resistance. Its thermal conductivity is extremely low, typically between 0.013 and 0.018 W / (m·K), effectively blocking heat transfer and protecting the battery module from high temperatures. Furthermore, aerogel material can withstand temperatures up to 450℃-1000℃, making it suitable for battery modules operating under extreme conditions. As a highly efficient thermal insulation material, aerogel not only possesses excellent thermal insulation and flame retardant properties but also effectively reduces the risk of thermal runaway, improving battery safety and stability.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the thermally conductive layer 5 is a metal foil material; this enhances thermal conductivity, protects the aerogel, and extends its service life.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the flame-retardant layer 3 is made of interwoven aerogel felt material and flame-retardant foam material; materials such as aerogel felt and flame-retardant foam perform well in terms of heat insulation and fire prevention, and are often used as protective layers for battery packs.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
