A separate cover may be installed on the open top of the tray 120. Two terminal portions 180 electrically connected to the stack 140 are spaced apart and installed on the front of the tray 120. The two terminal portions 180 may be, for example, a positive terminal portion connected to the positive electrode of the stack 140 and a negative terminal portion connected to the negative electrode of the stack 140. Hereinafter, the term terminal 180 may refer to both a positive terminal portion and a negative terminal portion.

A management circuit unit 122 connected to the stack 140 to manage the battery cells 130 may be installed at the front center of the tray 120. In addition, handles 124 that can be used when inserting or withdrawing the tray 120 into or withdrawal from the tray 120 may be further installed at both front ends of the front of the tray 120.

Each tray 120 loaded in the box is electrically connected through a connection bar installed between the terminal units 180. For example, a connection bar may be connected and installed between the positive terminal portion of one tray 120 and the negative terminal portion of the adjacent tray 120. Accordingly, each tray 120 may be connected in series within the enclosure. A plurality of stacks 140 are loaded inside the tray 120, and each stack 140 is electrically connected.

In the apparatus of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, eight stacks 140 may be disposed in a symmetrical form in one tray 120 to be stacked. The number or arrangement structure of the stacks 140 loaded in the tray 120 can be variously modified. Inside the tray 120, each stack 140 may be connected in series. Of the stacks 140 connected in series, the anode and the cathode of the stack 140 located at the ends are respectively connected to the two terminal portions 180 of the tray 120. Accordingly, it is possible to store or withdraw power to each stack 140 loaded on the tray 120 through the terminal unit 180. Each of the stacks 140 loaded in the tray 120 may have the same structure.

As shown in FIG. 3, the stack 140 of the present embodiment supports and supports the battery cells 130 and is stacked with each other in the vertical direction to form a space for accommodating the battery cells 130 therebetween, An electrical connection part for electrically connecting the positive terminal 132 and the negative terminal 134 of each battery cell 130 accommodated in the pallet 150 may be included. The stack 140 may be formed by stacking a plurality of pallets 150 on which the battery cells 130 are supported. Accordingly, the plurality of battery cells 130 are stably supported between the pallets 150, so that the stack 140 can be formed by being stacked up and down. Each of the plurality of pallets 150 constituting the stack 140 may be formed in the same shape.

Referring to FIG. 3, the pallet 150 of the present embodiment is integrally formed at both ends of the plate 152 and the plate 152 on which the battery cells 130 are placed and supported, and protrudes in the vertical direction to neighboring pallets ( 150) and at least one protrusion 156 that is formed on both sides of the support 154 and the support 154 to maintain a gap between the plate 152 and the plate 152 and is coupled to the neighboring pallet 150, It may include a groove (157).

The plate 152 is a plate structure having a thin thickness, and may be formed to have a size corresponding to the battery cell 130 in the form of a pouch of an approximately square plate. A hole having a size smaller than that of the battery cell 130 may be formed in the center of the plate 152. Accordingly, while the weight of the pallet 150 can be minimized, the battery cell 130 can be stably supported and supported.

The support 154 is integrally formed at both ends of the plate 152. The support part 154 is formed thick so as to protrude in the vertical direction with respect to the plate 152 to form a portion formed relatively high on the surface of the plate 152.

Accordingly, when the pallets 150 are stacked in the vertical direction, the support portions 154 of the pallets 150 adjacent to each other come into contact with each other, and there is a space between the plates 152 and the plates 152 of the neighboring pallets 150. Is formed. Accordingly, when the pallets 150 are stacked, the battery cells 130 can be stably placed in a space provided between the plates 152 and the plates 152 of the adjacent pallets 150. The protruding height of the support part 154 with respect to the plate 152 may be variously modified according to the thickness of the battery cell 130.

In addition, unlike the front and rear surfaces of the stack 140 (faces facing the x-axis direction in FIG. 3), which are in close contact with each other by the support 154, the side surfaces of the stack 140 (surfaces facing the z-axis direction in FIG. 3) Between the plate 152 and the plate 152 is open. Accordingly, when the battery cells 130 are supported by the pallet 150, heat generated from the battery cells 130 may be more easily radiated through the side of the stack 140 that is open.

A protrusion 156 and a groove 157 may be formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the support 154, respectively. The protrusion 156 is formed to protrude outward from the upper surface of the support part 154, and the groove part 157 is formed to be recessed inward from the lower surface of the support part 154. In this embodiment, the protrusion 156 and the groove portion 157 may be formed to face both surfaces of the support portion 154 at the same position with each other. The protrusion 156 may be formed to have a size that can be forcefully fitted to the groove 157. The protrusion 156 and the groove 157 may be formed, for example, on the front edge of the support 154. The positions or the number of formations of the protrusions 156 and the grooves 157 can be variously modified.

The electrical connection part of this embodiment is electrically connected at the junction 160 of the pallet 150 by drawing the positive terminal 132 and the negative terminal 134 of the battery cell 130 toward the front of the pallet 150, and each junction A separate connection plate 164 may be installed between 160 to be electrically connected.

The bonding portion 160 may be formed on the front surface of the support portion 154 of the pallet. The positive terminal 132 or the negative terminal 134 of the adjacent battery cells 130 are electrically connected to each other with the pallet between the junction 160. A bolt fastening hole 161 may be formed in the junction 160 so that a bolt 165 for fixing a terminal may be fastened.

The positive terminal 132 and the negative terminal 134 of the battery cell 130 disposed above and below the pallet 150 having the junction 160 formed therebetween are formed to be bent toward the junction 160, respectively. Accordingly, the positive terminal 132 and the negative terminal 134 between the battery cells 130 adjacent to each other at the junction 160 may be overlapped according to their polarity to be electrically connected. For example, on the pallet 150, two junctions 160 are formed to be spaced apart according to the positions of the positive terminal 132 and the negative terminal 134 of the battery cell 130. The two battery cells 130 arranged vertically with the pallet 150 interposed therebetween are arranged such that terminals of the same polarity face each other. Accordingly, the positive terminal 132 and the positive terminal 132 of the two adjacent battery cells 130 are bent and connected to one junction 160 at the same position, and the negative terminal 134 and the negative terminal 134 are also different. The side joint 160 is bent and joined. Accordingly, terminals of the same polarity are joined to the junction unit 160. In this way, it is possible to configure the stack 140 with a desired power capacity by easily connecting in parallel between neighboring battery cells 130 with the pallet 150 interposed therebetween.

In this embodiment, the positive terminal 132 and the negative terminal 134 of the neighboring battery cells 130 are aligned with the fastening hole 161 of the junction 160 on the surface overlapping each other, and the hole 162 This can be formed through. Thus, the bolt 165 passes through the hole 162 of the anode terminal 132 and the cathode terminal 134 and is fastened to the fastening hole 161 in the junction 160 to the anode terminal 132 and the cathode terminal 134 Is fixed by bonding.

A connection plate 164 is installed between the junction 160 and the junction 160 and between the stack 140 and the junction 160 of the stack 140 to electrically connect the adjacent junction 160. The connection plate 164 has a hole formed at a position corresponding to the fastening hole 161 of the junction 160 so that the bolt 165 can pass therethrough. Accordingly, the connection plate 164 is fixed to the junction 160 of the pallet 150 via bolts 165. The bolt 165 pressurizes the connection plate 164 to the joint 160. As the connection plate 164 is pressed by the bolt 165, the positive terminal 132, the negative terminal 134, and the positive plate 164 of the adjacent battery cells 130 are closely pressed and electrically connected to each other.

In this way, the positive terminal 132 and the negative terminal 134 of the stacked battery cells 130 are bent into two junctions 160 of the pallet 150 positioned therebetween, and bonded to each other between the terminals, and the stack 140 By connecting the connection plates 164 between them, it is possible to more easily electrically connect each battery cell 130 of the stack 140.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, pins 166 may be protruded on the front surface of the support part 154 of the pallet 150 so that the connection plate 164 can be installed at the correct position on both sides of the bonding part 160. A pinhole is formed in the connection plate 164 at a position corresponding to the pin 166. Accordingly, when the pin hole formed in the connection plate 164 is fitted in accordance with the pins 166 formed on the pallet 150, the connection plate 164 is accurately aligned with the installation position of the pallet 150. In this state, it is possible to easily fix and install the connection plate 164 to the junction 160 of the pallet 150 with bolts. The connection plate 164 is a plate structure, and may be formed in various sizes according to a position installed in the stack 140 or an electrical connection structure between the stacks 140.
