Abstract

Disclosed is a secondary battery module including: a plurality of unit cells, at least one or more unit cells among the plurality of unit cells being stacked so as to be in surface contact with each other; and an adhesive pad disposed between contact surfaces of the stacked unit cells. The adhesive pad enhances adhesion between the unit cells to prevent electrical sparks or short-circuiting. Therefore, the secondary battery module is stable and reliable in operation performance and electrical properties.

Claims (15)

1. A secondary battery module comprising:

a first unit cell and a second unit cell, each unit cell having a contact surface;

a partition member disposed between the first and second unit cells, the partition member having a frame; and

an adhesive pad disposed only within the frame of the partition member so that the frame completely surrounds the adhesive pad;

wherein the adhesive pad is coextensive and in contact with the contact surface of the first and second unit cells.

2. The secondary battery according to claim 1 wherein the adhesive pad is made of an elastic material.

3. The secondary battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the shape of the partition member has a shape matching the shape of the unit cells.

4. The secondary battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive pad comprises at least one anti-bubble hole.

5. The secondary battery module according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one anti-bubble hole linearly extends inward by a predetermined length from an edge of the adhesive pad.

6. A secondary battery module comprising:

unit cells stacked; and

an adhesive pad disposed between two consecutive unit cells in contact with contact surfaces of the stacked unit cells;

wherein the adhesive pad comprises a plurality of anti-bubble holes, and each anti-bubble hole linearly extends inward by a predetermined length from an edge of the adhesive pad.

7. The secondary battery module according to claim 6 , wherein the anti-bubble holes are distanced from each other in the contact surfaces of the unit cells.

8. The secondary battery module according to claim 6 , wherein at least one unit cell has a first electrode terminal that protrudes from one side thereof and a second electrode terminal that is distanced from the first electrode terminal and is formed at the same side from which the first electrode protrudes.
