Abstract

The secondary battery module includes: A secondary battery module, comprising: a plurality of sub modules, each including battery cell and cooling fin wherein the battery is disposed on both side surfaces of the cooling fin; a cooling plate which is coupled to the plurality of the sub modules; and side structures having bus bars, wherein a terminal unit is disposed at each of the plurality of sub modules, wherein the terminal unit includes a contact terminal disposed between electrode tabs of the battery cells; and a wing terminal which extends outwardly from one end of the contact terminal, wherein the terminal unit disposed at one of the plurality of sub modules is connected with another terminal unit disposed at another sub module by one of the bus bars.

Claims (16)

1. A secondary battery module, comprising:

a plurality of sub modules including battery cells;

a cooling plate which is coupled to the plurality of the sub modules; and

side structures configured to cover the plurality of sub modules, the side structures having bus bars located to face a covered surface of the plurality of sub modules,

wherein a terminal unit is disposed at each of the plurality of sub modules,

wherein the terminal unit includes a contact terminal disposed between electrode tabs of the battery cells, and a wing terminal which extends outwardly from one end of the contact terminal, and

wherein the terminal unit disposed at one of the plurality of sub modules is connected with another terminal unit disposed at another sub module by one of the bus bars.

2. The secondary battery module of claim 1 , wherein the wing terminal of the terminal unit is positioned to face a wing terminal of another terminal unit adjacent to the terminal unit.

3. The secondary battery module of claim 2 , wherein a jig insertion space is provided between the wing terminals that face each other and the corresponding battery cells.

4. The secondary battery module of claim 2 , wherein the bus bar coupled to the wing terminal contacts an outer side of the wing terminal which is positioned to face each other.

5. A secondary battery module, comprising:

a sub module which includes a battery cell;

a cooling plate which is configured to cool a plurality of sub modules arranged adjacent to each other and provide structural rigidity in a length direction thereof; and

side structures configured to cover a plurality of sub modules, the side structures having bus bars located to face a covered surface of the plurality of sub modules,

wherein the bus bar is disposed between adjacent sub modules to electrically connect adjacent sub modules with each other.

6. A secondary battery pack comprising the secondary battery module of claim 1 .
