JP, 2014-116193, A

  The heat conductive layer described in Patent Document 1 is formed by curing a curable liquid heat conductive material (TIM: Thermal Interface Material). When a liquid heat conductive material is used in this way, it has fluidity until the heat conductive material is cured, and thus the case may flow out of the region other than the region facing the facing surface. In this case, for example, screw holes or the like provided around the region in the case may be filled with the heat conductive material, and it may be difficult to attach the battery module to the case.

  The present invention provides a battery pack and a battery module that can prevent the heat conductive material from flowing to an unintended region even when a liquid heat conductive material is used.

  A battery pack according to one aspect of the present invention is sandwiched between a battery module having an array formed by arranging a plurality of battery cells in one direction, a casing to which the battery module is fixed, and the array and the casing. A solid heat conductive member formed by curing a liquid heat conductive material, and a first partition wall extending in one direction between the battery module and the housing and sandwiching the heat conductive member And a second partition.

  According to this battery pack, the solid heat conduction member is provided in the region defined by the first partition and the second partition. The heat conducting member is formed by curing a liquid heat conducting material. For example, when forming a heat conductive member by applying a liquid heat conductive material to the said area | region, it can suppress that a liquid heat conductive material flows out of the said area | region by the 1st partition and the 2nd partition. Therefore, according to the said battery pack, it can suppress that a liquid heat conductive material flows out to the area | region which is not intended.

  The battery module further includes a first plate and a second plate that sandwich the array body in one direction, and an end surface on the housing side of the first plate and the second plate is more than a facing surface facing the housing of the array body. It may be located on the housing side. For example, when a liquid thermosetting material is applied to a region defined by a first partition and a second partition and then the heat conductive material is cured in a state where the battery module is fixed to form a heat conductive member, the first A frame surrounding the liquid heat conductive material is formed by the partition wall, the second partition wall, the first plate, and the second plate. That is, since the liquid heat conductive material is surrounded by the first plate and the second plate in addition to the first partition and the second partition, it is further suppressed that the heat conductive material flows out of the region.

  The battery pack further includes a third partition extending in a direction intersecting with one direction, the battery module includes an elastic member provided between the first plate and the array, and the third partition is You may provide between an elastic member and a housing | casing. In this configuration, the heat conduction member can be formed by applying a liquid heat conduction material to a region defined by the first partition wall to the third partition wall. Since the three directions of the region are surrounded by the first to third regions, it is possible to further suppress the liquid heat conductive material from flowing out of the region.

  One end of the first partition may be located on the opposite side of the array relative to the first plate, and the other end of the first partition may be located on the opposite side of the array relative to the second plate. In this case, the first partition wall exists over at least the first plate and the second plate. For this reason, in the frame formed by the first partition, the second partition, the first plate, and the second plate, for example, the gap between the corners formed by the first partition and the first plate can be reduced. Therefore, it can suppress that a heat conductive material flows out of the area | region defined by a frame from the said clearance gap.

  The first partition and the second partition may be integrated with the housing. In this case, the region where the heat conductive material is formed on the housing is easily determined by the first partition and the second partition.

  The first partition and the second partition may be integrated with the battery module. In this case, for example, a resin holder that holds the battery cells in the battery module, and the first partition and the second partition can be integrally formed. Thereby, a 1st partition and a 2nd partition can be provided cheaply and easily.

  The first partition may be integrated with the housing, and the second partition may be integrated with the battery module. In this case, the region where the heat conductive material is formed on the housing is easily determined by the first partition. Further, for example, by integrally molding a resin holder for holding battery cells and the second partition in the battery module, the second partition can be provided inexpensively and easily.

  The first partition may have a plurality of partitions extending along one direction. In this case, in order for the heat conductive material to exceed the first partition, it is necessary to exceed all of the plurality of partitions. Therefore, it can further suppress that a heat conductive material exceeds a 1st partition.

  The first partition has a plurality of partitions extending along one direction, a part of the plurality of partitions is integrated with the housing, and the other part of the plurality of partitions is integrated with the battery module. Also good. In this case, in order for the heat conductive material to exceed the first partition, it is necessary to exceed all of the plurality of partitions. Therefore, it can further suppress that a heat conductive material exceeds a 1st partition by the some partition provided in a housing | casing and a battery module. In addition, for example, by integrally molding a resin holder for holding battery cells and a part of the plurality of partition walls in the battery module, the part of the partition walls can be provided inexpensively and easily.

  The first partition wall and the second partition wall may be partition members that are separate from the housing and the battery module. In this case, the freedom degree of the material etc. which comprise a 1st partition and a 2nd partition improves.

  The battery module includes a heat transfer plate that contacts a main surface that is a surface intersecting in one direction in the battery cell, and the heat transfer plate includes a first main body portion that contacts the main surface, and a housing side of the first main body portion. A second main body portion extending in a direction intersecting the main surface from the end, and the second main body portion may contact the heat conducting member. In this case, the heat generated in the battery cell can be conducted to the heat conducting member via the heat transfer plate, and the heat dissipation of the battery cell can be improved.

  A battery module according to another aspect of the present invention is a battery module that is fixed to a housing with a solid heat conductive member formed by curing a liquid heat conductive material, and a plurality of battery cells are arranged in one direction. An array of the battery body, a resin holder for holding the battery cell, a first main body portion that contacts a main surface that is a surface intersecting in one direction in the battery cell, and one end from one end of the first main body portion. A heat transfer plate having a second body portion extending in a direction, and a first plate and a second plate sandwiching the array in one direction, the second body portion being a first main surface in contact with the holder The holder has a first partition wall and a second partition wall, the first partition wall and the second partition wall extend in one direction, and 2 It is provided so as to sandwich the main body portion, and is further away from the array body than the second main surface. Projecting direction, a first plate and a second plate protrudes in the direction away from the array than the second major surface.

  According to this battery module, the holder has the first partition wall and the second partition wall protruding in a direction away from the array body than the second main surface of the second main body portion, and the first plate and the second plate are the second plate. It protrudes in a direction away from the array rather than the main surface. Accordingly, the first partition, the second partition, the first plate, and the second plate form a frame in which the array protrudes from the surface facing the casing when the battery module is fixed to the casing. For this reason, for example, when fixing a battery module in a housing, after applying a liquid heat conductive material to a predetermined region of the housing, the heat conductive material is cured in a state where the battery module is fixed to the housing. Thus, when the heat conductive material is formed, the liquid heat conductive material can be surrounded by the frame, so that the heat conductive material can be prevented from flowing out of the region. Therefore, by fixing the battery module to the casing, it is possible to suppress the liquid heat conductive material on the casing from flowing out to an unintended region. In addition, since the holder made of resin has the first partition wall and the second partition wall, for example, the holder and the first partition wall and the second partition wall can be integrally formed, so that the first partition wall and the second partition wall can be provided easily and inexpensively. Can do.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, even if it is a case where a liquid heat conductive material is used, the battery pack and battery module which can suppress the said heat conductive material flowing out to the area | region which is not intended can be provided.

This area | region R is an area | region which opposes the array body 50 (refer FIG. 3) when the battery module 20 is attached to the housing | casing 11 in the other side plate 11e. The length along the direction X of the region R corresponds to the separation distance in the direction X of the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15, and the length along the direction Y of the region R is equal to the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 14. This corresponds to the length of the partition 15 along the direction Y. In other words, both ends of the region R in the direction X and both ends in the direction Y are defined by the first partition 14 and the second partition 15. The length along the direction Y of the region R may correspond to a separation distance along the direction Y between the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 described later (see FIG. 9). . That is, both ends in the direction Y of the region R may be defined by the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24.

The first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15 have a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape extending along the direction Y. The first partition 14 is located above the heat conducting member 13, and the second partition 15 is located below the heat conducting member 13. In the other side plate 11e, a hole 11f used for attaching the junction box 12 is provided above the first partition wall 14, and a second bracket 24 described later is attached to the left side of the heat conducting member 13 and the like. A hole 11f used for the purpose is provided.

  The thickness of the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15 is larger than the thickness of the heat conducting member 13. Moreover, the length along the direction Y of the 1st partition 14 and the 2nd partition 15 is less than the length along the direction Y of the battery module 20, and it is in the direction Y of the array body 50 (refer FIG. 3) mentioned later. It is more than the length along.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the junction box 12 is provided at a corner formed by the top plate 11 b and the front plate 11 c in the accommodation space.

In the first embodiment, the number of battery modules 20 in the accommodation space is five. The number of battery modules 20 arranged behind the housing space is three, and the number of battery modules 20 arranged forward is two. A junction box 12 is provided above the battery module 20 disposed in front.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the battery module fixed to the battery pack. FIG. 4 is a schematic end view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic end view taken along line VV in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the battery module 20 includes an array 50 formed by arranging a plurality of battery cells 21 in the direction Y, a plurality of heat transfer plates 22, and a first bracket (first plate). 23, a second bracket (second plate) 24, an elastic member 25, and a control device 26. The battery module 20 of the first embodiment includes seven battery cells 21, and each battery cell 21 is held by a cell holder (holder) 31.

  FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of a battery cell, a heat transfer plate, and a cell holder. As FIG. 6 shows, the battery cell 21 is secondary batteries, such as a lithium ion battery or a nickel hydride storage battery, for example. The battery cell 21 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a pair of main surfaces 21a that are rectangular surfaces that intersect the direction Y, and four side surfaces 21b that are rectangular surfaces. The battery cell 21 has a first terminal T1 and a second terminal T2 to be connected to an external device or another battery cell 21. In the following, the surface facing the housing 11 in the array 50 formed by arranging a plurality of battery cells 21 is referred to as a facing surface 50a.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the heat transfer plate 22 is a metal or alloy member that is alternately arranged with the plurality of battery cells 21 in the direction Y and has high thermal conductivity. The heat transfer plate 22 is a plate-like member having an L-shaped cross section that is in contact with the main surface 21a of the battery cell 21 exposed from the cell holder 31, and conducts heat generated in the battery cell 21 to the outside. It is a member for adjusting the temperature of the cell 21. The heat transfer plate 22 includes a first main body portion 22a that contacts the main surface 21a, and a second main body portion 22b that extends in one direction Y from one end of the first main body portion 22a. As shown in FIG. 4, the first main body portion 22 a contacts both the battery cells 21 adjacent in the direction Y, and is arranged so as to reduce the temperature difference between the battery cells 21.

4-6, the 2nd main-body part 22b contacts the side part 33 of the cell holder 31 mentioned later, and is exposed from the cell holder 31. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the second main body portion 22 b has a first main surface 22 b ₁ that contacts the side surface portion 33 and a second main surface 22 b ₂ that is a surface opposite to the first main surface 22 b _1. . The second main body portion 22b extends along the side surface 21b on the other side plate 11e side in the battery cell 21. Therefore, one end of the first main body portion 22a corresponds to an end on the other side plate 11e side of the first main body portion 22a, and corresponds to an end on the facing surface 50a side of the array 50. In addition, the second main body portion 22 b contacts the heat conducting member 13 when the battery module 20 is attached to the housing 11. Specifically, the second main surface 22 b ₂ is in contact with the heat conducting member 13. Thereby, the heat generated in the battery cell 21 is transmitted to the housing 11 via the heat transfer plate 22 and the heat conducting member 13. The second main body portions 22b may be in contact with each other or may be separated from each other.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the cell holder 31 has a frame shape into which the battery cell 21 is fitted, and is a member that can surround and hold the side surface 21 b of the battery cell 21. The cell holder 31 is composed of a resin molded member. The cell holder 31 has an opening 32 that allows contact between the main surface 21a of the battery cell 21 and the first main body portion 22a of the heat transfer plate 22 when the battery cell 21 is fitted. Further, the cell holder 31 includes side surface portions 33 and 34 that define the opening 32, a bottom surface portion 35, and a partition portion 36. The side surface portion 33 is a portion that faces the second main body portion 22b when the battery cell 21 and the first main body portion 22a of the heat transfer plate 22 come into contact with each other. The side surface portion 34 is a portion facing the side surface portion 33 with the opening 32 interposed therebetween. The bottom surface portion 35 is a portion that connects one end sides of the side surface portions 33 and 34. The partition portion 36 is a portion that connects the other end sides of the side surface portions 33 and 34. At both ends in the direction Z of the bottom surface portion 35, insertion holes 35a into which a connecting member 43 described later is inserted are provided. The partition portion 36 is provided with a terminal accommodating portion 36a that accommodates the first terminal T1 and the second terminal T2 of the battery cell 21, respectively. Further, the partition portion 36 is provided with two insertion holes 36b through which a connecting member 43 described later is inserted.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24 are made of a highly rigid material, for example, a metal such as iron. The first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24 attach a restraining load to the array body 50 by sandwiching the array body 50 on both sides in the direction Y. The first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24 also fix the battery module 20 to the housing 11 of the battery pack 10. The first bracket 23 is disposed on one side in the direction Y in the array 50. The second bracket 24 is disposed on the other side in the direction Y in the array 50. Each of the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24 has a clamping part 41 and an attachment part 42.

The clamping part 41 is a substantially rectangular flat plate. The clamping part 41 of the first bracket 23 and the clamping part 41 of the second bracket 24 are connected by a connecting member 43 such as a bolt, for example. The holding portions 41 are connected to each other by a connecting member 43 so that a force is applied so as to approach each other in the direction Y. Thereby, the clamping parts 41 apply a restraining load in the direction Y to the plurality of battery cells 21. An end of the sandwiching portion 41 on the housing 11 side projects in the direction Z from the second main surface 22b ₂ of the second main body portion 22b to the housing 11 side. In other words, the end of the clamping portion 41 projecting in a direction away from the facing surface 50a of the array 50 than the second major surface 22b ₂ in the direction Z.

The attachment portion 42 is a substantially rectangular flat plate extending from the end on the housing 11 side of the sandwiching portion 41 to the side opposite to the array body 50. A plurality of holes 42 a penetrating along the direction Z are provided in the attachment portion 42. The mounting portion 42 is mounted so as to sandwich the heat conducting member 13 on the other side plate 11e in the direction Y by a bolt 44 inserted through the hole 42a and screwed into the hole 11f. A housing 11 side of the mounting portion 42, the end surface 42b in contact with the casing 11 is located in the housing 11 side of the second main surface 22b ₂ of the second body portion 22b. Offset D1 in the direction Z of the second main surface 22b ₂ of the end face 42b and second body part 22b is, for example, about 1 mm. Since the end surface 42b is located closer to the housing 11 than the second main body 22b, the end surface 42b is naturally located closer to the housing 11 than the facing surface 50a of the array 50.

  The elastic member 25 is a plate-like member provided between the first bracket 23 and the array body 50. The elastic member 25 is made of an elastically deformable material such as rubber and resin sponge. In general, since the battery cell 21 expands as the usage period of the battery cell 21 increases, the elastic member 25 absorbs the expansion of the battery cell 21 in the battery module 20. The end face 42 b of the attachment portion 42 is located closer to the housing 11 than the elastic member 25. The offset D2 in the direction Z between the end surface 42b and the elastic member 25 is substantially the same as the total thickness of the side surface portion 33 of the cell holder 31, the second main body portion 22b of the heat transfer plate 22, and the heat conducting member 27.

  The control device 26 is a device that performs various controls (for example, discharge control or temperature control) regarding the battery module 20, and is provided on the battery cell 21 and connected to the battery cell 21. The control device 26 includes a central processing unit (CPU), an electronic control unit (ECU), and the like.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the battery pack according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a process diagram for explaining the battery pack manufacturing method according to the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7, first, the battery cell 21 and the like are assembled (step S1). In step S <b> 1, the battery cell 21 is incorporated into the cell holder 31. Thereby, the battery cell 21 is held by the cell holder 31. In step S <b> 1, the heat transfer plate 22 is brought into contact with the main surface 21 a of the battery cell 21, and the second main body portion 22 b of the heat transfer plate 22 is disposed on the side surface portion 33 of the cell holder 31.

  Next, the plurality of battery cells 21 are arranged and restrained (step S2). In step S2, the plurality of battery cells 21 incorporated in the cell holder 31 in step S1 are arranged along a direction (one direction) intersecting the main surface 21a. At this time, the first main body portion 22 a of the heat transfer plate 22 is sandwiched between the adjacent battery cells 21. After arranging the plurality of battery cells 21, the arranged plurality of battery cells 21 are sandwiched in one direction by the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24. At this time, the elastic member 25 is sandwiched between the sandwiching portion 41 of the first bracket 23 and the battery cell 21 located adjacent to the sandwiching portion 41. And the 1st bracket 23 and the 2nd bracket 24 are connected using the connection member 43, and the restraint load along one direction is added with respect to the some battery cell 21 arranged. Thereby, the array body 50 formed by arranging a plurality of battery cells 21 is provided.

  Next, the battery cell 21 is self-discharged (step S3). In step S3, first, the electromotive forces of the constrained battery cells 21 are each measured by a tester. Specifically, the electromotive force of the battery cell 21 is measured by connecting a tester to the first terminal T1 and the second terminal T2 of the battery cell 21. After the self-discharge of the battery cell 21 is started, the array body 50 is left as it is. For example, the battery cell 21 spontaneously discharges by allowing the array 50 to stand in an air atmosphere and at normal temperature and pressure for 1 day or more and 5 days or less. In the first embodiment, the array 50 is left for about 2.5 to 3 days.

  Next, after the self-discharge of the battery cell 21 is completed, the control device 26 and the like are attached to the array 50 (step S4). In step S4, the battery cells 21 are electrically connected to each other by, for example, a bus bar, and the control device 26 is attached to be electrically connected to the battery cells 21. Thereby, the battery module 20 shown in FIG. 2 is manufactured.

  Next, a liquid heat conductive material (TIM) is applied on the housing 11 (step S5). In step S4, a heat conductive material is applied to the region R of the other side plate 11e of the housing 11. At this time, the housing 11 is allowed to stand to suppress the heat conduction material from flowing out of the region R.

Next, the battery module 20 is fixed to the housing 11 (step S6). In step S6, as shown in FIG. 5, the second main body portion 22b of the heat transfer plate 22 of the battery module 20 is sandwiched in the direction X by the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15 and applied onto the housing 11. The battery module 20 is fixed to the housing 11 so as to be in contact with the heat conduction material. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the battery module 20 is arranged on the housing 11 so that the heat conductive material is sandwiched in the direction Y by the sandwiching portions 41 of the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24. Thereby, in step S6, the region R is defined by the frame formed by the first partition 14, the second partition 15, the first bracket 23, and the second bracket 24, and the heat conduction material flows out from the region R. Suppress. And by curing the thermally conductive material, the heat conducting member 13 in contact with the second major surface 22b ₂ of the second body portion 22b in the region R is formed. In step S <b> 6, the sandwiching portion 41 may be in contact with the heat conducting member 13 or may be separated from the heat conducting member 13. In step S6, the battery pack 10 shown in FIG. 1 is manufactured by fixing the plurality of battery modules 20 to the housing 11 by the method described above.

  According to the battery pack 10 of the first embodiment using the battery module 20 described above, the solid heat conductive member 13 can be provided in the region R defined by the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15. . The heat conducting member 13 is formed by curing a liquid heat conducting material. Therefore, as described above, when the heat conductive member 13 is formed by applying the liquid heat conductive material to the region R, the liquid heat conductive material is out of the region R, particularly in the direction, by the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15. It is possible to suppress the flow out of the region beyond the first partition 14 and the region beyond the second partition 15 in X. For this reason, for example, it is possible to prevent the heat conductive material from flowing into the holes 11 f provided above the first partition wall 14, and to prevent the junction box 12 from being difficult to attach to the housing 11. Therefore, according to the said battery pack 10, it can suppress that a liquid heat conductive material flows out to the area | region which is not intended.

  Further, the battery module 20 includes a first bracket 23 and a second bracket 24 that sandwich the array body 50 in the direction Y, and end surfaces 42b of the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24 are opposed surfaces 50a of the array body 50. It is located closer to the housing 11 side. In this case, after a liquid thermosetting material is applied to the region R defined by the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15 in the housing 11, the heat conductive material is cured and heated in a state where the battery module 20 is fixed. When the conductive member 13 is formed, a frame surrounding the liquid heat conductive material is formed by the first partition 14, the second partition 15, the first bracket 23, and the second bracket 24. That is, since the liquid heat conductive material is surrounded by the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24 in addition to the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15, the region R in the direction Y by the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24. The heat conduction material is prevented from flowing out. Therefore, it is possible to further suppress the liquid heat conductive material from flowing out to an unintended region.

  The first partition 14 and the second partition 15 are integrated with the housing 11. In this case, for example, the region R where the liquid heat conductive material is applied to the housing 11 can be easily determined.

  The battery module 20 includes a heat transfer plate 22 that contacts the main surface 21a of the battery cell 21, and the heat transfer plate 22 includes a first main body portion 22a and a second main body portion 22b, and the second main body. The part 22 b contacts the heat conducting member 13. In this case, the heat generated in the battery cell 21 can be conducted to the heat conducting member 13 via the heat transfer plate 22, and the heat dissipation of the battery cell 21 can be improved.

  FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of a part of the housing of the first modification of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the first modification is different from the first embodiment in that the battery pack 10 further includes a third partition wall 61. Specifically, the third partition wall 61 is provided behind the region R in the other side plate 11e of the housing 11A. Further, the third partition wall 61 is provided between the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15 in the direction X. The third partition wall 61 is provided so as to be positioned between the elastic member 25 and the housing 11A when the battery module 20 is fixed to the housing 11A. The third partition wall 61 is integrated with the housing 11A and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that protrudes from the housing 11A toward the battery module 20 and extends along the direction X. The thickness of the third partition wall 61 is larger than the thickness of the heat conducting member 13. Further, the thickness of the third partition wall 61 is substantially the same as or larger than the thickness of the first partition wall 14 and the thickness of the second partition wall 15. The length of the third partition wall 61 is, for example, less than the separation distance in the direction X between the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15 and is not less than the length of the heat conducting member 13 in the direction X. The third partition wall 61 may be provided so as to overlap the elastic member 25 when the battery module 20 is attached to the housing 11.

  In the said 1st modification, the effect similar to 1st Embodiment is show | played. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a liquid heat conductive material is applied to a region R defined by the first partition wall 14, the second partition wall 15, and the third partition wall 61 on the housing 11 to heat the heat transfer member 13. Can be formed. Since the three directions of the region R are surrounded by the first partition wall 14, the second partition wall 15, and the third partition wall 61, the liquid heat conductive material exceeds the third partition wall 61 outside the region R, particularly on the housing 11. Flowing out to the area can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to further suppress the liquid heat conductive material from flowing out to an unintended region. Further, when the battery module 20 is attached to the housing 11, an offset D <b> 2 is generated between the elastic member 25 and the housing 11. Here, the offset D <b> 2 can be filled by providing the third partition wall 61 so as to overlap the elastic member 25. Thereby, it can suppress that a liquid heat conductive material flows out to the area | region which is not intended further.

  FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of a part of the housing of the second modified example of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the second modification is different from the first embodiment in that the lengths of the first partition 14 and the second partition 15 along the direction Y are different. Specifically, the length along the direction Y of the first partition 14A is larger than the length along the direction Y of the first partition 14 of the first embodiment. Similarly, the length along the direction Y of the second partition 15A is larger than the length along the direction Y of the second partition 15 of the first embodiment. In FIG. 9, when the battery module 20 is fixed to the housing 11, the position where the clamping part 41 of the first bracket 23 is arranged is the area 62, and the position where the clamping part 41 of the second bracket 24 is arranged is the area. 63. In this case, each of the first partition wall 14 </ b> A and the second partition wall 15 </ b> A extends from the front side of the region 63 to the rear side of the region 62. In other words, one end of the first partition 14 </ b> A is positioned on the opposite side of the array 50 with respect to the first bracket 23, and the other end of the first partition 14 </ b> A is opposite to the array 50 on the second bracket 24. Located on the side. Similarly, one end of the second partition 15 </ b> A is positioned on the opposite side of the array 50 with respect to the first bracket 23, and the other end of the second partition 15 </ b> A is on the opposite side of the array 50 with respect to the second bracket 24. Located in.

  In the second modification, the same effects as those of the first embodiment are achieved, and the outflow of the liquid heat conductive material in the direction X outside the region R is further suppressed by the first partition wall 14A and the second partition wall 15A. Is done. Specifically, the first partition wall 14A and the second partition wall 15A exist in at least the first bracket 23 and the second bracket 24 in the direction Y, and the direction Y of the first partition wall 14 and the second partition wall 15 in the first embodiment. Longer than the length along. For this reason, in the frame formed by the first partition wall 14A, the second partition wall 15A, the first bracket 23, and the second bracket 24, the gaps at the corners can be reduced. Can be prevented from flowing out.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic end view for explaining a third modification of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, the third modification is different from the first embodiment in that the number of first and second partitions is different. Specifically, the first partition wall 14 </ b> B has substantially rectangular parallelepiped partition walls 64 and 65 extending along the direction Y. The partition walls 64 and 65 are integrated with the casing 11 and are separated from each other in the direction X in parallel. Similarly, the second partition wall 15 </ b> B includes substantially rectangular parallelepiped partition walls 66 and 67 extending along the direction Y. The partition walls 66 and 67 are integrated with the housing 11 and are separated from each other in parallel in the direction X. Accordingly, in the direction X, gaps are formed between the partition walls 64 and 65 and between the partition walls 66 and 67, respectively.

  In the 3rd modification, the same operation effect as a 1st embodiment is produced. Here, in the third modification, for example, in order for the heat conductive material applied to the region R to exceed the first partition 14B, it is necessary to exceed both the partitions 64 and 65. Therefore, the plurality of partition walls 64 to 67 provided in the housing 11 can further suppress the heat conductive material applied to the region R from flowing out of the region R beyond the first partition wall 14B and the second partition wall 15B.

  In the third modification, the number of partition walls constituting the first partition wall 14B and the second partition wall 15B is not limited. For example, the number of the first partition walls 14B and the second partition walls 15B may be three or more. Further, the number of partition walls constituting the first partition 14B and the number of partition walls constituting the second partition 15B may be different from each other. In this case, the number of the partition walls configuring the first partition wall 14B or the number of the partition walls configuring the second partition wall 15B may be one.

The bag 68 is sealed, and the bag 68 is filled with a liquid heat conductive material 69. The bag 68 contacts the housing 11 and the second main surface 22b ₂ of the second main body portion 22b. The bag 68 may be in contact with the first partition 14 and the second partition 15, or may not be in contact with the first partition 14 and the second partition 15. The bag 68 is made of a material having a high thermal conductivity. Therefore, the heat generated in the battery cell 21 is conducted to the housing 11 through the heat transfer plate 22, the bag 68, and the heat conductive material 69.

  In the 4th modification, the same operation effect as a 1st embodiment is produced. Further, by filling the bag 68 with the liquid heat conductive material 69, the heat conductive material 69 may not be cured. Thereby, since the period which hardens | cures a heat conductive material during manufacture of a battery pack can be abbreviate | omitted, productivity of a battery pack can be improved.
