That is, the height h of the side wall portion 12 may be made larger to include more unit battery cells 1 between the adjacent cartridge frames 10, and conversely, the height of the side wall portion 12 may be increased. h) may be made smaller so that only one unit battery cell 1 is included between adjacent cartridge frames 10 (see FIG. 4A). Furthermore, in FIG. 2B and FIG. 4A, the side wall portion 12 extends up and down the same height around the inter-cell separator 11, but it is not necessary. That is, as shown in Fig. 4B, the side wall portion 12 " may have a structure extending only upward from the inter-cell separator 11.
- Fig. 5 is an embodiment according to another aspect of the present invention. As a perspective view schematically showing an example battery module, the present embodiment is an example of configuring the battery module 100 using the cartridge frame 10 shown in FIG.
- the battery module 100 forms a modular battery by storing the unit battery cells 1 in the above-described cartridge frame 10 and stacking them vertically.
- the electrode terminal 1a exposed through the electrode terminal through groove 15a of the electrode terminal connecting portion 15 is not shown.
- the top cover 16 and the bottom cover 17 are added to the top and bottom of the battery module 100 to complete the battery module 100.
- the inner wall 12a facing the side surface of the unit battery cell 1 in the side wall portion 12 of the cartridge frame 10 is formed of metal, and the outer wall 12b is formed of plastic, thereby
- the side wall portion 12 of the cartridge frame 10 is easily melted or burned. It is possible to prevent the ignition or combustion from continuing to other adjacent battery cells 1.
- this effect can be further improved when the flameproof layer B is interposed between the inner wall 12a and the outer wall 12b.
- the battery module 100 according to the present embodiment is particularly useful when the unit battery cells 1 constituting the battery module are pouch type battery cells.
- the plurality of cartridge frames 10 and the unit battery cells 1 are stacked in the vertical direction, and the cartridge frames 10 are illustrated and described in the vertical stacking direction in FIGS. 2 to 4.
- the present invention is not limited to the lamination direction. That is, the plurality of cartridge frames 10 and the unit battery cells 1 may be stacked in left and right directions or in front and rear directions. Therefore, in the above description, terms indicating directions such as up, down, left, right, before, and after are relative and may vary according to the relative position of the observer.
- the cartridge frame of the present invention can prevent the side wall portion from melting or burning by the flame generated inside thereof, and can prevent the flame from propagating to the adjacent region. Therefore, the battery module employing the cartridge frame according to the present invention can be improved durability against the flame. In particular, when the flame resistant layer is included in the side wall portion of the cartridge frame, the effect of the invention can be further enhanced. In addition, the cartridge frame according to the present invention is particularly useful when used to fabricate a modular battery by stacking pouch cells that are at risk of explosion or fire.
