Abstract

A battery module assembly includes a battery module and a cooling plate attached to the battery module, wherein the battery module has a first paste injection hole for injecting a thermal paste into the battery module and a first paste discharge hole for discharging the thermal paste out of the battery module, and wherein the cooling plate has a second paste injection hole formed at a location corresponding to the first paste injection hole and a second paste discharge hole for allowing the thermal paste discharged out of the battery module through the first paste discharge hole to be discharged out of the battery module assembly.

Claims (14)

1. A battery module assembly, comprising:

a battery module; and

a cooling plate attached to the battery module,

wherein the battery module has a first paste injection hole for injecting a thermal paste into the battery module and a first paste discharge hole for discharging the thermal paste out of the battery module, and

wherein the cooling plate has a second paste injection hole formed at a location corresponding to the first paste injection hole and a second paste discharge hole for allowing the thermal paste discharged out of the battery module through the first paste discharge hole to be discharged out of the battery module assembly.

2. The battery module assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein the battery module includes:

a module case; and

a cell stack accommodated in the module case.

3. The battery module assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the thermal paste injected into the battery module is filled in a first paste channel formed between the cell stack and the module case.

4. The battery module assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the thermal paste fixes the cell stack and the module case to each other.

5. The battery module assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal paste discharged out of the battery module through the first paste discharge hole is filled in a second paste channel formed between the battery module and the cooling plate.

6. The battery module assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the thermal paste fixes the battery module and the cooling plate to each other.

7. The battery module assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling plate has a cooling channel serving as a passage through which a cooling fluid flows.
