Abstract

A battery module, including: a plurality of battery cell units arranged along a width direction, where each of the battery cell units has a tab, and the tab is arranged on at least one end of the battery cell unit along a length direction; and a first harness plate arranged on at least one end of the battery module along the length direction, where the first harness plate has a plurality of through grooves, and the tab passes through and is arranged on the through groove; and the through groove has an opening along a height direction, and the tab is configured to pass through and be arranged on the through groove through the opening.

Claims (28)

1. A battery module, comprising:

a plurality of battery cell units arranged along a width direction, wherein each of the battery cell units has a tab, and the tab is arranged on at least one end of the battery cell unit along a length direction; and

a first harness plate arranged on at least one end of the battery module along the length direction, wherein the first harness plate has a plurality of through grooves, and the tab passes through and is arranged on a through groove of the plurality of through grooves; and

the through groove has an opening along a height direction, and the tab is configured to pass through and be arranged on the through groove through the opening;

further comprising a second harness plate connected to the first harness plate, wherein the second harness plate is arranged above or below the first harness plate along the height direction;

wherein an installation structure is arranged between the first harness plate and the second harness plate;

the installation structure at least has a buckle and a buttonhole, and the buckle is arranged on the second harness plate, and the buttonhole is arranged on the first harness plate.

2. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the first harness plate further comprises a plurality of installation parts, and each of the installation parts has the through grooves on both sides along the width direction; and

each of the installation parts is provided with an electrical connector, and the tab is connected to the electrical connector.

3. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein an installation direction of the first harness plate is from bottom to top, and the second harness plate is arranged above the first harness plate along the height direction.

4. The battery module according to claim 1 , further comprising a second harness plate connected to the first harness plate, wherein the second harness plate has the plurality of through grooves; and

a through groove of the plurality of through grooves on the second harness plate is arranged correspondingly to the through groove of the plurality of through grooves on the first harness plate.

5. The battery module according to claim 4 , wherein the first harness plate and the second harness plate are molded in a separate manner.

6. The battery module according to claim 4 , wherein the first harness plate and the second harness plate each have a plurality of installation parts, and each of the installation parts has the through grooves on both sides along the width direction; and

each of the installation parts is provided with an electrical connector, and the tab is connected to the electrical connector.

7. The battery module according to claim 6 , wherein the electrical connector and the first harness plate or the second harness plate provided with an installation part of the plurality of installation parts are integrally formed through injection molding.

8. The battery module according to claim 6 , wherein the first harness plate or the second harness plate provided with an installation part of the plurality of installation parts has a first surface facing away from the battery cell unit, and the electrical connector has a second surface facing away from the battery cell unit; and

the second surface does not exceed the first surface along the length direction.

9. The battery module according to claim 6 , wherein an isolation part is arranged between two adjacent installation parts of the plurality of installation parts, and each isolation part has a protrusion; and

the through groove is arranged between an installation part of the two adjacent installation parts and the isolation part.

10. The battery module according to claim 9 , wherein the protrusion is configured to be a plate-like structure and extend along the height direction.

11. The battery module according to claim 9 , wherein a size of the protrusion is not less than a size of the electrical connector along the height direction.

12. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the first harness plate along the height direction is provided with at least one buttonhole and at least one pin hole, and the second harness plate is provided with at least one buckle and at least one pin.

13. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the buckle has an inclination part and a hook part with an inclined surface.

14. The battery module according to claim 13 , wherein the hook part is configured to face the battery cell unit when the hook part is inserted into the buttonhole.

15. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein both ends of the opening are provided with guide structures along the width direction.

16. The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein the battery cell unit comprises a battery cell, a thermal conductive sheet and a heat resisting sheet, and the thermal conductive sheet is located between the battery cell and the heat resisting sheet.

17. The battery module according to claim 16 , wherein in a combination of a set of arranged battery cell units, a battery cell of a next battery cell unit is bonded to a heat resisting sheet of a previous battery cell unit.
