Battery module and battery pack comprising same
View Patent ↗The present disclosure relates to a battery module, which includes: a housing including a first housing and a second housing, which are coupled to each other to form a accommodation space; a plurality of secondary batteries accommodated in the accommodation space; a bolt including a screw portion, which has screw threads formed on at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a bolt head arranged at an end of the screw portion, the bolt being configured to fasten the first housing and the second housing to each other by being mounted such that the screw portion penetrates the first housing to be screw-coupled to the second housing, and that the bolt head is caught by the first housing; and an O-ring mounted to be interposed between the first housing and the bolt head, wherein the O-ring includes: a hollow pierced such that the screw portion is inserted therein; and a recognition protrusion formed to protrude in a radial direction of the bolt head as compared with the bolt head.
1. A battery module comprising:
a housing comprising a first housing and a second housing, which are coupled to each other to form a accommodation space;
a plurality of secondary batteries accommodated in the accommodation space;
a bolt comprising a screw portion and a bolt head arranged at an end of the screw portion, the bolt being configured to fasten the first housing and the second housing to each other by being mounted such that the screw portion penetrates the first housing to be screw-coupled to the second housing, and that the bolt head is caught by the first housing; and
an O-ring mounted to be interposed between the first housing and the bolt head,
wherein the O-ring comprises:
a hollow pierced such that the screw portion is inserted therein; and
a recognition protrusion formed to protrude in a radial direction of the bolt head as compared with the bolt head.
2. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the O-ring has a diameter that is equal to or less than that of the bolt head.
3. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the recognition protrusion is formed to protrude from a circumferential surface of the O-ring in the radial direction of the bolt head.
4. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the first housing comprises a bolt hole pierced such that the screw portion is inserted therein, and
the O-ring is interposed between the first housing and the bolt head to seal the bolt hole.
5. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the first housing comprises an O-ring groove formed to be recessed such that the O-ring is inserted therein.
6. The battery module according to claim 5 , wherein the O-ring groove has a recognition portion formed to extend in the radial direction of the bolt head such that the recognition protrusion is inserted therein.
7. A battery module comprising:
a housing comprising a accommodation space and a bolt hole;
a plurality of secondary batteries accommodated in the accommodation space;
a bolt comprising a screw portion and a bolt head arranged at an end of the screw portion, the bolt being mounted such that the screw portion is inserted into the bolt hole and the bolt head is caught by the housing; and
an O-ring mounted to be interposed between the housing and the bolt head,
wherein the O-ring comprises:
a hollow pierced such that the screw portion is inserted therein; and
a recognition protrusion formed to protrude in a radial direction of the bolt head as compared with the bolt head.
8. The battery module according to claim 7 , wherein the O-ring has a diameter that is equal to or less than that of the bolt head.
9. A battery pack comprising the battery module according to claim 1 .
10. A battery pack comprising the battery module according to claim 7 .
11. A vehicle comprising the battery pack according to claim 9 .
12. A vehicle comprising the battery pack according to claim 10 .
