[0054] This embodiment provides a battery module, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the battery module 100 includes a housing 2, a drive unit 3, and multiple battery cells 1.

[0055] The housing 2 includes a main frame 21, a cover plate 22, and a back plate 23. The main frame 21 has two first openings opposite each other along a first direction. Multiple partitions 25 are provided inside the main frame 21, dividing the interior of the main frame 21 into multiple mounting cavities 211. Each mounting cavity 211 has two ends connected to the two first openings, and each battery cell 1 can be inserted into a mounting cavity 211 along the first direction. The cover plate 22 and the back plate 23 are respectively connected to both ends of the main frame 21 and respectively block one of the first openings. A driving member 3 is connected to the side of the main frame 21 opposite to the back plate 23, and the driving member 3 can push the battery cell 1 to move along the first direction.

[0056] The battery cell in this embodiment can be a square cell or other cells with similar structures. Next, we will take a high energy density cell (LF230) as an example to further explain the battery module 100 in this embodiment.

[0057] In other words, this embodiment forms multiple battery cell 1 mounting spaces through multiple mounting cavities 211 within the main frame 21 to support and protect the battery cells 1. The main frame 21, cover plate 22, and back plate 23 form a closed housing 2 to ensure the structural strength of the battery module 100. When replacing a battery cell 1, the driving component 3 can push the battery cell 1 to move along a first direction, thereby causing the battery cell 1 to detach from the mounting cavity 211, thus enabling the free replacement of a single battery cell 1. Since each battery cell 1 in this embodiment is isolated from each other, replacing a single battery cell 1 will not damage other battery cells 1 within the battery module 100. Disassembly and replacement are convenient and simple, which helps to extend the service life of the overall structure of the battery module 100.

[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 2 has a cuboid structure, with the first direction parallel to the width direction of the housing 2. The partition 25 inside the housing 2 divides the inner cavity of the housing 2 into multiple independent mounting cavities 211. The extension direction of each mounting cavity 211 is parallel to the first direction. Multiple battery cells 1 correspond one-to-one with multiple mounting cavities 211 and are installed in the mounting cavities 211 to achieve independent management of individual battery cells 1.

[0059] For example, in this embodiment, the main frame 21, cover plate 22, back plate 23, and partition plate 25 in the housing 2 are all made of insulating materials such as plastic. This battery module 100 does not use sheet metal structures such as steel strips and end plates, making assembly simpler and helping to reduce the weight of the product.

[0060] Furthermore, the radial cross-section of the mounting cavity 211 is adapted to the radial cross-section of the battery cell 1. This arrangement ensures that adjacent battery cells 1 are isolated only by the partition 25, effectively improving the space utilization within the housing 2.

[0061] Furthermore, all apex corners on the radial section of the mounting cavity 211 are rounded. By setting rounded corners, the battery cell 1 can be quickly installed when inserted into the mounting cavity 211, and the apex corners of the battery cell 1 can be prevented from colliding with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 211, thus preventing damage to the battery cell 1.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the battery module 100 also includes multiple cell connection bars 4. These multiple cell connection bars 4 are used to connect the cells 1 in series or in parallel within the battery module 100. The specific connection method can be designed according to actual needs and is not limited here. In this embodiment, the cell connection bar 4 can be an aluminum bar. The cell connection bar 4 is located at the first opening on the side of the housing 2 near the cover plate 22.

[0063] Alternatively, such as Figure 7 As shown, the housing 2 also includes multiple elastic elements 24, each corresponding to a single battery cell 1. The elastic elements 24 are sandwiched between the back plate 23 and the battery cell 1, and can compress or extend along a first direction. By providing a retractable elastic element 24 between the back plate 23 and the battery cell 1, installation tolerances caused by varying battery cell heights can be effectively avoided. The elastic element 24 can press the battery cell 1 against the battery cell connector 4, ensuring reliable contact between the battery cell 1 and the battery cell connector 4, thereby achieving continuous current flow to the battery cell 1 and ensuring the overall current flow capacity of the battery module 100.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, a guide post 231 is provided on the back plate 23 opposite to each battery cell 1. An elastic member 24 is sleeved on the guide post 231, with one end of the elastic member 24 abutting against the corresponding battery cell 1 and the other end of the elastic member 24 abutting against the back plate 23. The guide post 231 can limit and guide the compression deformation of the elastic member 24 when it is compressed, preventing the elastic member 24 from being compressed and detached from the back plate 23.

[0065] For example, the elastic element 24 may be a spring in the prior art.

[0066] Continue to refer to Figures 2-5 A connecting portion 26 is provided at one end of the main frame 21 near the cover plate 22, and the connecting portion 26 extends away from the main frame 21 along a first direction. The connecting portion 26 is located on both sides of the first opening, and the cover plate 22 is connected to the connecting portion 26. The connecting portion 26 is used to increase the connection area between the cover plate 22 and the main frame 21, ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0067] Specifically, one of the cover plate 22 and the connecting part 26 is provided with a latching protrusion 261, and the other is provided with a latching slot 221. The latching protrusion 261 can be engaged with the latching slot 221. The cover plate 22 and the main frame 21 are assembled by a snap-fit ​​method, without the need for screw fixation, which helps to avoid the risk of fatigue failure.

[0068] In this embodiment, multiple latching protrusions 261 are spaced apart along the length of the connecting portion 26, and multiple latching slots 221 are correspondingly provided on the cover plate 22. When the cover plate 22 is fastened to the first opening at one end of the main frame 21, the multiple latching protrusions 261 simultaneously engage with the corresponding multiple latching slots 221, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the cover plate 22 and the main frame 21.

[0069] To be more specific, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The main frame 21 is also provided with a support part 27 near the end of the cover plate 22. The support part 27 is connected between two connecting parts 26. The support part 27 is arranged perpendicularly to the connecting parts 26 to improve the structural stability after the connecting parts 26 are connected to the cover plate 22.

[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a rotating connecting groove 262 is provided on the connecting part 26 opposite to each battery cell 1. Multiple driving components 3 are provided, each corresponding to one battery cell 1. Each driving component 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, a connecting plate 32, and a pushing block 33. The connecting plate 32 connects the rotating shaft 31 and the pushing block 33. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably disposed in the rotating connecting groove 262, and the connecting plate 32 has a clearance opening 321 for avoiding the groove wall of the rotating connecting groove 262. When a battery cell 1 in the battery module 100 malfunctions, the back plate 23 of the battery module 100 can be disassembled, and the malfunctioning battery cell 1 can be removed using the elastic force of the elastic member 24. If it is not completely removed, the connecting plate 32 of the driving component 3 can be rotated to move the pushing block 33 along a first direction, thereby pushing the battery cell 1 out of the mounting cavity 211, thus facilitating the removal of the malfunctioning battery cell 1.

[0071] Specifically, the connecting plate 32 and the pushing block 33 are arranged at an angle. In this embodiment, the connecting plate 32 and the pushing block 33 are arranged perpendicularly. Along the direction close to the connecting plate 32, the thickness of the pushing block 33 gradually increases, thereby improving the connection strength and reliability between the connecting plate 32 and the pushing block 33.

[0072] To be more specific, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The cover plate 22 has an avoidance groove 222. In this embodiment, the rotating connection groove 262 is C-shaped. The arc end of the rotating connection groove 262 is connected to the connection part 26. The opening end of the rotating connection groove 262 faces the cover plate 22. The avoidance groove 222 is used to avoid the groove wall of the rotating connection groove 262 and the rotating shaft 31 of the driving member 3.

[0073] This embodiment also provides an energy storage device, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the energy storage device includes a housing 200 and a battery module 100 provided in this embodiment.

[0074] Specifically, the housing 200 includes a frame 201 with two second openings opposite each other along a second direction. At least one battery module 100 can be inserted into the frame 201 along the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. In this embodiment, the second direction is parallel to the length direction of the housing 2 of the battery module 100. Two battery modules 100 provided in this embodiment are sequentially arranged along the first direction in this energy storage device. The number of battery modules 100 in the energy storage device can be set according to requirements and is not limited here.

[0075] More specifically, one of the frame 201 and the housing 2 has a groove 2011 formed along the second direction, and the other has a slide rail 212, which slides in conjunction with the groove 2011. Through the sliding contact between the groove 2011 and the slide rail 212, the battery module 100 can be quickly installed. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the frame 201 has a groove 2011, and the housing 2 has a slide rail 212.

[0076] More specifically, the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the slide groove 2011 matches that of the slide rail 212. The longitudinal cross-section of the slide groove 2011 can be trapezoidal, triangular, or square, etc., without limitation here.

[0077] For example, the box frame 201 can be processed by aluminum extrusion, which has a high material utilization rate. The aluminum extrusion process eliminates the need for welding and bending, making the processing simple and quick.

[0078] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 10 The enclosure 200 also includes a front panel 202 and a rear baffle 203. The front panel 202 and the rear baffle 203 are respectively connected to both sides of the frame 201 and respectively seal the two second openings. The frame 201, the front panel 202 and the rear baffle 203 form a closed enclosure 200 to ensure the structural strength of the energy storage device.

[0079] Furthermore, the energy storage device also includes a module connection bar 300. The module connection bar 300 is used to realize the series or parallel connection of the battery modules 100 within the energy storage device. The specific connection method can be designed according to actual needs and is not limited here. The module connection bar 300 can be made of aluminum, which has good conductivity.

[0080] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 2031 is provided on the side of the rear baffle 203 facing the battery module 100. The limiting protrusion 2031 can press the battery module 100 against the module connection row 300, ensuring reliable contact between the battery module 100 and the module connection row 300, thereby ensuring the stable output of the energy storage device.

[0081] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
