[0001] [Cross - Reference to Related Applications] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10 - 2023 - 0011439, filed on January 30, 2023, and all contents disclosed in the literature of the Korean patent application are included as part of this specification.

[0002] The present invention relates to a busbar assembly and a battery pack including the same, and more specifically, to a busbar assembly with improved fire resistance and a battery pack including the same.

Background Art

[0003] In modern society, the use of portable devices such as mobile phones, laptop computers, video cameras, and digital cameras has become common, and the development of technologies in the fields related to such mobile devices has become active. In addition, rechargeable secondary batteries are used as power sources for electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug - in hybrid electric vehicles (P - HEVs), etc. as a solution to problems such as air pollution of existing gasoline vehicles that use fossil fuels, and the need for the development of secondary batteries is increasing.

[0004] Currently, commercially available secondary batteries include nickel - cadmium batteries, nickel - metal hydride batteries, nickel - zinc batteries, lithium secondary batteries, etc. Among these, lithium secondary batteries have attracted attention for their advantages such as almost no memory effect compared to nickel - based secondary batteries, free charging and discharging, very low self - discharge rate, and high energy density.

[0005] Such lithium secondary batteries mainly use lithium - based oxides and carbon materials as the positive electrode active material and the negative electrode active material, respectively. A lithium secondary battery includes an electrode assembly in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate, each coated with such a positive electrode active material and a negative electrode active material, are arranged with a separator therebetween, and a battery case for hermetically storing the electrode assembly together with an electrolytic solution.

[0006] Generally, lithium secondary batteries can be classified into can-type secondary batteries in which the electrode assembly is installed in a metal can and pouch-type secondary batteries in which the electrode assembly is installed in a pouch made of an aluminum laminate sheet according to the shape of the exterior material.

[0007] In the case of secondary batteries used in small devices, 2 to 3 battery cells are arranged. However, in the case of secondary batteries used in medium and large devices such as automobiles, a battery module in which a large number of battery cells are electrically connected is used. In such a battery module, a large number of battery cells are connected in series or in parallel with each other to form a battery cell laminate, thereby improving the capacity and output. In addition, one or more battery modules can be mounted together with various control and protection systems such as a BDU (Battery Disconnect Unit), a BMS (Battery Management System), and a cooling system to form a battery pack.

[0008] In a battery pack in which a large number of battery modules are assembled, the heat discharged from a large number of battery cells may gather in a narrow space, and the temperature may rise rapidly. That is, in the case of a battery module in which a large number of battery cells are stacked and a battery pack in which such a battery module is mounted, although a high output can be obtained, there is a high possibility that the heat dissipation of the battery cells is not properly performed. In addition, when a thermal runaway phenomenon of the battery cells occurs, there is also a high possibility of explosion and ignition.

[0009] On the other hand, a bus bar connected to the battery module is provided inside the battery pack. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a conventional bus bar, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-section cut along the cutting line A-A' of FIG. 1.

[0010] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a conventional bus bar 20 is a rod-shaped metal member extending along the length direction, and through holes for connection with the terminal bus bar of the battery module can be formed at both ends of the bus bar 20. Such a bus bar 20 is configured to undertake HV (High voltage) connection in the battery pack. The HV connection means the connection of the role of the power supply for supplying power, and the bus bar 20 is configured to guide the electrical connection of the battery module, and generally includes a metal material with excellent electrical conductivity. As an example, the bus bar 20 can include a copper (Cu) material.

[0011] The covering member 20C can wrap such a bus bar 20. The covering member 20C can include a material having electrical insulation, and as an example, can include a silicon material or an epoxy material. Since the covering member 20C wraps the bus bar 20 through which a high current flows, it is possible to prevent the bus bar 20 from coming into contact with other electrical components or conductive members other than the terminal bus bar of the battery module and causing a short circuit.

[0012] Recently, for battery packs, there is a requirement for equipment that does not allow flames to jet out to the outside of the battery pack even if ignition occurs inside the battery pack. Since the flame generated inside the battery pack has a very high temperature of about 1000 °C, the covering member 20C wrapping the bus bar 20 may melt and the bus bar 20 may be exposed. When the exposed bus bar 20 comes into contact with other electrical components or conductive members and a short circuit occurs, the internal flame may further spread, and such a flame may be propagated to the outside of the battery pack. Ultimately, this may lead to the explosion of the battery pack or the vehicle on which the battery pack is mounted.

[0013] Therefore, there is a need for the development of a technology for a bus bar assembly that can maintain electrical insulation even when a flame occurs inside the battery pack.

Summary of the Invention

[0035] Figure 3 is a plan view showing a battery pack according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 3, a battery pack 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a busbar assembly 100; a battery module 1200; a BDU (battery disconnect unit) module 1300 for controlling the electrical connection of the battery module 1200; and a BMS (Battery Management System) module 1400 for monitoring and controlling the operation of the battery module 1200. At least one busbar assembly 100 according to this embodiment electrically connects at least one of between the battery modules 1200, between the battery module 1200 and the BDU module 1300, between the battery module 1200 and the BMS module 1400, or between the BDU module 1300 and the BMS module 1400. Specifically, a plurality of battery modules 1200 can be housed in the pack frame 1100, and the electrical connection between the battery modules 1200 and the electrical connection between the battery module 1200 and the BDU module 1300 can be performed by the busbar assembly 100. That is, the busbar assembly 100 according to this embodiment can undertake HV (High voltage) connection. Here, the HV connection is a connection serving as a power source for supplying power requiring a high voltage, and means a connection between battery cells or between battery modules.

[0037] On the other hand, the BDU module 1300 is a member for controlling the electrical connection of the battery module 1200, and can cut off power between the power conversion device and the battery module 1200. When a condition where the current exceeds the set range occurs, the BDU module 1300 can cut off the power of the battery pack 1000 to ensure the safety of the battery pack 1000.

[0038] On the one hand, the LV connection member 100' according to this embodiment can be responsible for the electrical connection between the battery module 1200 and the BMS module 1400. The electrical connection here is an LV (Low voltage) connection, which means a sensing connection for sensing and controlling the voltage and temperature of the battery module 1200. Specifically, sensors inside the battery module 1200 are arranged, and the real-time temperature information and voltage information of the battery module 1200 are transmitted to the BMS module 1400 via the LV connection member 100'. The real-time operating state of the battery module 1200 can be monitored and controlled through the BMS module 1400. Although not specifically illustrated, an HV current sensor may be integrated into the BMS module 1400. In this case, the busbar assembly according to this embodiment can be responsible for the electrical connection between the battery module 1200 and the BMS module 1400 or between the BDU module 1300 and the BMS module 1400.

[0039] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the battery module 1200 according to this embodiment will be described. However, the battery module 1200 described below is an exemplary structure of a battery module including a plurality of battery cells 11, and various forms of battery modules including a plurality of battery cells can be applied.

[0040] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing one of the battery modules included in the battery pack of FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view showing the state where the module frame and the end plate are removed from the battery module of FIG. 4.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the battery module 1200 according to this embodiment can include a battery cell stack 11A in which a plurality of battery cells 11 are stacked. The battery cell stack 11A is shown in FIG. 5. Such a battery cell stack 11A can be housed in the module frame 30 and the end plate 40.

[0042] The battery cell 11 may be a pouch-type battery cell. Such a pouch-type battery cell can be formed by housing an electrode assembly in a pouch case made of a laminate sheet including a resin layer and a metal layer, and then fusing the outer peripheral portion of the pouch case. Such a battery cell 11 can be formed in a rectangular sheet structure. The electrode lead 11L connected to the electrode assembly protrudes outside the pouch case, and the electrode leads 11L of the respective battery cells 11 can be electrically connected to each other through the lead bus bar 21. On the other hand, at least one electrode lead 11L can be connected to the terminal bus bar 22. A part of the terminal bus bar 22 can be exposed outside the battery module 1200 as shown in FIG. 4. The lead bus bar 21 and the terminal bus bar 22 can all contain a metal material excellent in electrical conductivity.

[0043] The bus bar assembly 100 according to this embodiment is electrically connected to such a terminal bus bar 22, and the above-described HV connection can be performed. That is, the battery module 1200 can be electrically connected to another battery module 1200, the BDU module 1300, or the BMS module 1400 through the bus bar assembly 100 connected to the terminal bus bar 22.

[0044] As described above, the battery cells and the battery module described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 are exemplary structures, and there are no particular restrictions on the types and forms of the battery cells and the battery module included in the battery pack to which the bus bar assembly according to this embodiment is applied. That is, although the pouch-type battery cell has been exemplarily described, a prismatic battery cell or a cylindrical battery cell can also be applied to the battery module according to the embodiment of the present invention. Further, although a battery module in which the battery cells are housed in a module frame has been described as an example, a CTP (cell to pack) type battery module in which a large number of battery cells are mounted on the battery pack without being housed in the module frame is also applicable as an example of the present invention.

[0045] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9, a bus bar assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0046] FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a bus bar and a glass fiber layer included in a bus bar assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 6, a bus bar assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a bus bar 200 for guiding electrical connection inside a battery pack 1000; and a glass fiber layer 400 including 400W of glass fibers and wrapping the bus bar 200.

[0048] The bus bar 200 is configured to guide the electrical connection of the battery module, that is, the HV connection, and may include a metal material having excellent electrical conductivity. As an example, the bus bar 200 may include a copper (Cu) material. The bus bar 200 may be a metal bar extending along the length direction (Ld).

[0049] The glass fiber layer 400 may be a fabric in a form where the glass fibers 400W are woven. As an example, a large number of glass fibers 400W may be twisted to form glass fiber strands 400S, and such glass fiber strands 400S may be woven to provide a glass fiber layer 400 in a fabric form. There is no special limitation on the weaving method, and various weaving methods such as plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave can be applied. Such a glass fiber layer 400 can wrap the outer peripheral surface of the bus bar 200 except for a partial region at both ends of the bus bar 200 connected to the terminal bus bar 22 (see FIG. 5). Since the glass fiber layer 400 is a fabric, a space (S) can be formed between the glass fiber strands 400S intersecting within the glass fiber layer 400, and a predetermined space can also be formed between the glass fiber layer 400 and the bus bar 200. Also, a space can be formed between the glass fibers 400W by twisting within the glass fiber strand 400S itself.

[0050] FIG. 7 is a plan view showing a state in which the bus bar assembly of FIG. 6 is provided with a refractory silicone layer. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-section cut along the cutting line B-B' of FIG. 7.

[0051] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 8 together, the bus bar assembly 100 according to the present embodiment further includes a refractory silicone layer 300 that fills the space (S) of the glass fiber layer 400 and wraps the bus bar 200. As shown in FIG. 6, with the bus bar 200 wrapped by the glass fiber layer 400, a refractory silicone material can be injection-molded on the outer peripheral surface of the bus bar 200 to provide the refractory silicone layer 300. That is, the refractory silicone layer 300 according to the present embodiment may be in a form in which the refractory silicone material is injection-molded on the bus bar 200 wrapped by the glass fiber layer 400. Thereby, the glass fibers 400W of the glass fiber layer 400 can be located inside the refractory silicone layer 300. FIG. 8 shows a state of the woven glass fiber strands 400S, which is an example of the present invention. The glass fiber layer 400 in the present invention is not particularly limited in the form of the glass fibers to be woven or the weaving method as long as it is a fabric in which the glass fibers 400W are woven.

[0052] The refractory silicone layer 300 can wrap the outer peripheral surface of the bus bar 200 except for a partial region at both ends of the bus bar 200 connected to the terminal bus bar 22 (see FIG. 5). The refractory silicone layer 300 having electrical insulation functions as an insulating layer for protecting the bus bar 200 and prevents the bus bar 200 from coming into contact with other electrical components or conductive members to cause a short circuit.

[0053] Unlike general silicon materials that are exposed to flames or burn at high temperatures, the refractory silicon material is a material that is exposed to flames or ceramified at high temperatures. The refractory silicon material may be a silicon material that is ceramified when the temperature reaches a certain level or higher. The refractory silicon material may include a silicon polymer and silica. The applied silicon polymer is a functional group and can be a polysiloxane-based compound having a vinyl group, corresponding to the base material of the refractory silicon material. Silica is a reinforcing filler contained in the silicon polymer and may be fumed silica. High-purity silicon chloride (SiCl4) compounds can be produced using metallic silicon as the main raw material through reactions with hydrochloric acid and a purification process, and fumed silica can be obtained by reacting this with hydrogen and oxygen in a high-temperature flame. Further, the refractory silicon material may contain platinum (Pt) as a catalyst.

[0054] When the refractory silicon material is exposed to flames or high temperatures, cross-linking of silica (SiO2) occurs along with decomposition of the silicon polymer, forming a ceramic substance. The refractory silicone layer 300 according to this embodiment, even when exposed to internal flames and placed in a high-temperature environment, does not burn or melt, but can be ceramified and maintain electrical insulation.

[0055] As described above, within the glass fiber layer 400 which is a fabric, a space (S) is formed between intersecting glass fiber strands 400S, and a predetermined space can also be formed between the glass fiber layer 400 and the bus bar 200. Also, a space can be formed between glass fibers 400W which are twisted inside the glass fiber strand 400S itself. During the process of injection molding the refractory silicone layer 300, the refractory silicone material can penetrate into such spaces. The refractory silicone layer 300 can fill the spaces between the woven glass fibers 400W.

[0056] In an environment of flame or high heat, when the refractory silicone layer 300 is ceramized, the electrical insulation of the refractory silicone layer 300 can be maintained, but the strength of the refractory silicone layer 300 becomes weak and it is highly likely to be broken by an external force. In this embodiment, it is designed such that the refractory silicone layer 300 fills the space between the woven glass fibers 400W and the glass fiber layer 400 is positioned inside the refractory silicone layer 300. Thereby, the structural rigidity of the refractory silicone layer 300 can be complemented, and it is possible to prevent the refractory silicone layer 300 from being broken by an external force even when the refractory silicone layer 300 is ceramized. In particular, since the refractory silicone material penetrates into the space between the glass fiber strands 400S within the glass fiber layer 400 which is a fabric and between the glass fibers 400W which are twisted inside the glass fiber strand 400S itself, it is possible to realize the improved rigidity of the refractory silicone layer 300 and the strong bonding force between the refractory silicone layer 300 and the glass fiber layer 400. Finally, the bus bar assembly 100 according to this embodiment has improved fire resistance and can maintain electrical insulation even in an environment of flame or high heat.

[0057] FIG. 9 is a plan view showing a state in which a glass fiber tape is wound around the bus bar assembly of FIG. 7.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 9, the bus bar assembly 100 according to this embodiment further includes a glass fiber tape 500 that wraps the refractory silicone layer 300. The glass fiber tape can wrap the outer surface of the refractory silicone layer 300.

[0059] The glass fiber tape 500 can include a glass fiber base material layer and an adhesive layer formed on one surface of such a glass fiber base material layer. The glass fiber base material layer can be a fabric containing glass fibers, and the adhesive layer can contain at least one of an acrylic resin or a silicone resin. The glass fiber tape 500 may be a rectangular tape having a long side 500L and a short side 500S. That is, the long side 500L in this specification refers to the relatively long side of the rectangular tape, and the short side 500S refers to the relatively short side of the rectangular tape. Such a glass fiber tape 500 can wrap the refractory silicone layer 300 along the long side 500L of the glass fiber tape 500. Specifically, the glass fiber tape 500 can be wound around the refractory silicone layer 300 a plurality of times along the length direction (Ld) of the bus bar 200 so as to form layers 510 and 520 where at least some regions overlap. Here, the layers 510 and 520 of the glass fiber tape 500 correspond to an interlayer structure formed by overlapping at least some regions of adjacent portions of the glass fiber tape 500. More specifically, the glass fiber tape 500 can be wound obliquely around the refractory silicone layer 300 a plurality of times such that a partial region between any one layer 510 of the glass fiber tape 500 and another adjacent layer 520 overlaps. In FIG. 9, a partial region at both ends of the refractory silicone layer 300 is shown as being exposed without being wound by the glass fiber tape 500, but this is for the convenience of explanation, and the entire region of the refractory silicone layer 300 can be wrapped by the glass fiber tape 500.

[0060] The glass fiber tape 500 can protect the glass fiber layer 400 and the refractory silicone layer 300 from the flame. That is, while the glass fiber tape 500 completely wraps the refractory silicone layer 300, the glass fiber layer 400 and the refractory silicone layer 300 can be primarily protected from the flame generated inside the battery pack.

[0061] In addition, the glass fiber tape 500 can complement the structural rigidity of the bus bar 200 and the fire-resistant silicone layer 300, and improve the insulation performance with respect to the bus bar 200. Specifically, when the fire-resistant silicone layer 300 is ceramified, the insulation is maintained, but the strength becomes weak, so the fire-resistant silicone layer 300 may be damaged by an external force. The glass fiber tape 500 can complement the rigidity of such a fire-resistant silicone layer 300 and prevent the fire-resistant silicone layer 300 from being damaged by an external force.

[0062] In this embodiment, terms indicating directions such as front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom are used, but such terms are for convenience of explanation and may vary depending on the position of the object and the position of the observer.

[0063] One or more battery modules according to the above-described embodiment can be mounted together with various control and protection systems such as a BMS (Battery Management System), a BDU (Battery Disconnect Unit), and a cooling system to form a battery pack.

[0064] The battery module and the battery pack can be applied to various devices. Specifically, they can be applied to transportation means such as electric bicycles, electric vehicles, and hybrids, and ESS (Energy Storage System), but are not limited thereto, and can be applied to various devices that can use secondary batteries.

[0065] As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and improvements by those skilled in the art using the basic concept of the present invention defined in the following claims also belong to the scope of the present invention.
