Rechargeable Battery Module With Integrated Thermal Bars

The patent combines the heat dissipation function with the battery bracket structure by integrating cooling channels directly into the bracket that holds the battery cells. This merging eliminates the need for separate liquid cooling modules with entrance channels, outlet channels, and channel boards, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining effective heat dissipation through the integrated cooling channels.

The battery bracket is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides mechanical support and positioning for the battery cells while simultaneously incorporating cooling channels for heat dissipation. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated cooling structures, reducing overall device complexity while achieving effective thermal management.

The patent designs a universal battery bracket with standardized cooling channels and battery cell accommodating structures that can be applied across different device types. This single standardized tooling achieves reliable battery cell fixation through the integrated limiting structures and cooling channels, eliminating the need to design different toolings for different applied subjects while maintaining fixation reliability.

The battery bracket is segmented into functional zones including battery cell accommodating sections with limiting structures, cooling channels, and mounting holes. This segmentation allows the single standardized bracket design to adapt to different battery configurations and device requirements without requiring completely different toolings, thus maintaining fixation reliability while reducing manufacturing cost.

The patent merges the fixation function and heat dissipation function into a single integrated battery bracket structure. The limiting structures provide battery cell fixation while the integrated cooling channels simultaneously conduct heat away from the battery cells, overcoming the limitation of semi-circular structures that could only provide fixation without effective heat dissipation.

The cooling channels act as an intermediary thermal conduction path between the battery cells and the external environment. Heat from the battery cells is conducted through the bracket material along the cooling channels to external heat sinks, providing efficient heat dissipation while the limiting structures maintain battery cell fixation.
