Battery module including cooling fins of which mounting directions are alternately arrayed

1. A battery module comprising a plurality of cartridges stacked with a battery cell interposed therebetween,

the cartridges each comprising:

a cooling fin having a plate-shaped structure contacting an outer surface of the battery cell and a guide part; and

a cartridge frame which has a hollow structure and to which an outer peripheral edge of the cooling fin is fixed,

wherein, each of the guide parts, which is mounted in one side- or the other side-direction of the cartridge frame, is disposed on the outer peripheral edge of the cooling fin so as to fix the cooling fin in position with respect to the cartridge frame, and

the cartridges are arranged so that directions in which the guide parts of the cooling fins are mounted with respect to the cartridge frames are opposite to each other in adjacent cartridges.

2. The battery module of claim 1 , wherein the guide part of the cooling fin has a structure protruding outward from the outer peripheral edge of the cooling fin, and

a guide groove, on which the guide part is seated, is disposed in a region of the cartridge frame corresponding to the guide part of the cooling fin.

3. The battery module of claim 2 , wherein the guide part of the cooling fin and the guide groove of the cartridge frame have coupling holes perforated at regions corresponding to each other so that a coupling member is inserted and fixed.

4. The battery module of claim 1 , wherein number of the guide parts is at least two.

5. The battery module of claim 4 , wherein at least two of the guide parts are disposed at positions facing each other in the outer peripheral edge of the cooling fin.

6. The battery module of claim 1 , wherein the guide parts of one cooling fin have the same mounting direction with respect to one cartridge frame.

7. The battery module of claim 1 , wherein, among the guide parts of one cooling fin, the mounting direction of at least one guide part with respect to one cartridge frame is opposite to those mounting directions of the remaining guide parts.

8. The battery module of claim 1 , wherein the cartridges are arranged so that the guide parts of the cooling fins of the cartridges disposed in the outermost region are mounted in directions from the inside toward the outside of the cartridge frame.

9. The battery module of claim 1 , wherein the cooling fin comprises:

a fin main body having a plate-shaped structure; and

a refrigerant conduit which is disposed along an outer peripheral edge of the fin main body, and has, at both ends thereof, a refrigerant inlet and a refrigerant outlet through which a refrigerant is introduced and discharged.

10. The battery module of claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of an outer peripheral edge region of the fin main body extends outward, and

the extended outer peripheral edge region of the fin main body wraps an outer surface of the refrigerant conduit to fix the refrigerant conduit.

11. The battery module of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the guide parts is provided by extending, to the outside of the refrigerant conduit, at least a portion of the extended outer peripheral edge region of the fin main body which wraps the outer surface of the refrigerant conduit.

12. The battery module of claim 9 , wherein the refrigerant conduit is coupled to the outer peripheral edge of the fin main body by means of welding.

13. The battery module of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the guide parts protrudes outward and is coupled to a portion of the refrigerant conduit.

14. The battery module of claim 1 , wherein a frame coupling part is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the cartridge frame to couple the neighboring cartridge frames to each other, the frame coupling part being positioned in a region where the neighboring cartridge frames correspond to each other.
