Pouch Battery Fixture With Thermal Plates for Uniform Cooling

The patent transitions from traditional single-plane thermal conduction (bottom-only contact) to multi-dimensional thermal conduction by adding lateral contact portions that extend along the length direction of the battery. This creates a three-dimensional thermal conduction network involving bottom surfaces, lateral surfaces, and end surfaces, significantly increasing the effective thermal conductive area and improving heat dissipation performance across the entire battery module.

The patent applies local quality by providing different thermal conduction structures at different locations of the battery. The thermal conduction plates are configured with bottom contact portions, lateral contact portions, and end contact portions that create localized thermal conduction pathways at specific areas (bottom, sides, and ends), ensuring uniform heat dissipation across the entire battery surface and reducing temperature differences between different locations.

The patent merges multiple traditional components (aluminum plates, plastics, cooling mechanisms) into an integrated thermal conduction plate structure. The thermal conduction plate combines support, thermal conduction, and cooling functions into a single component that directly contacts the battery at multiple locations, eliminating the need for separate latched plates and reducing the overall number of components and assembly steps.

The patent extracts and eliminates unnecessary components from the traditional assembly structure. By removing redundant aluminum plates, plastics, and intermediate latching mechanisms, the design retains only the essential thermal conduction plates that perform both structural support and thermal management functions, thereby reducing material quantity and manufacturing cost.
