Abstract

The present invention relates to a battery pack wherein a battery module (20) and a support plate (21) are received in a protection case (10) including an accommodation space (11) having open opposite sides and a first gasket (13) and a second gasket (23) installed at entrances of the accommodation space, and the opposite entrances of the accommodation space (11) are blocked by a support member (14) and an end case (25). In addition, circuit boards (22 and 24) are installed between the support plate (21) and the end case (25). According to the present invention, a primary waterproof structure is formed by the gaskets (13 and 23), and a secondary waterproof structure is formed by the support plate (21) and the end case (25), the distal ends of which are pressed, so that a double waterproof structure is applied to the circuit boards (22 and 24), and thus moisture is effectively prevented from being introduced to the circuit boards (22 and 24).

Description

배터리 팩battery pack
본 발명은 배터리 팩에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 배터리모듈의 양쪽으로 제1가스켓이 구비되는 배터리팩에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a battery pack, and more particularly, to a battery pack in which first gaskets are provided on both sides of a battery module.
내연기관을 가지는 이동수단이 점차 감소하고, 이에 따른 하이브리드 자동차 및 전기 자동차의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 맞추어 근거리 이동에 사용되는 이륜차량 또한 전기모터만을 구동력으로 하는 전기 오토바이 및 전기 스쿠터의 수요가 증가하고 시장도 점차 확대되고 있다.The number of transportation means having an internal combustion engine is gradually decreasing, and accordingly, the demand for hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles is increasing. In line with this trend, the demand for electric motorcycles and electric scooters that use only electric motors as driving power for two-wheeled vehicles used for short-distance movement is increasing, and the market is gradually expanding.
종래에는 전기 이륜차의 배터리를 충전하기 위해서는 사용자가 전기 이륜차를 타고 충전시설로 이동한 다음, 충전코드를 배터리에 연결하여 충전하였으나 충전 시간이 오래걸리는 문제가 있었다.Conventionally, in order to charge the battery of an electric two-wheeled vehicle, a user rides the electric two-wheeled vehicle to a charging facility and then connects the charging cord to the battery to charge it, but there is a problem that the charging time takes a long time.
이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 배터리 교환장치가 구비된 충전스테이션이 개발되었다. 충전스테이션은 배터리 교환장치가 행과 열을 이루어 복수개 설치된 하나의 모듈이며, 각각의 교환장치에는 전기 이륜차에 사용되는 배터리가 삽입되어 충전된다.To solve this problem, a charging station equipped with a battery exchange device has been developed. The charging station is a module in which a plurality of battery exchange devices are installed in rows and columns, and batteries used in electric two-wheeled vehicles are inserted and charged in each exchange device.
사용자는 배터리 교환장치 내에서 충전이 완료된 배터리를 꺼내어 전기 이륜차의 배터리와 교체한 후, 전기 이륜차에서 꺼낸 배터리를 배터리 교환장치 내에 삽입하여 충전시킨다.The user removes the charged battery from the battery exchange device and replaces it with the battery of the electric motorcycle, and then inserts the battery taken out of the electric motorcycle into the battery exchange apparatus to charge it.
상기와 같은 방식의 충전스테이션은 배터리를 충전하지 않고, 배터리 교환장치 내에서 미리 충전된 배터리를 방전된 배터리와 교환하면 되는 것이므로 사용자는 전기 이륜차의 배터리를 충전하기 위한 시간을 절약할 수 있게 되었다.In the charging station of the above method, the user can save time for charging the battery of the electric two-wheeled vehicle because the charging station does not charge the battery and only needs to exchange the pre-charged battery with the discharged battery in the battery exchange device.
그러나, 이러한 배터리에는 배터리 팩의 내부에 설치되는 셀이 폭발하는 것을 방지하기 위해 전자부품들도 함께 설치되는데, 셀 뿐만 아니라 셀의 외부에 설치되는 전자부품들에 대해서도 방수구조를 적용하는 것에 어려움이 있어 왔다.However, in such a battery, electronic components are also installed to prevent the cell installed inside the battery pack from exploding, but it is difficult to apply a waterproof structure to the electronic components installed outside the cell as well as the cell. there has been
또한, 종래의 배터리 팩은 교체를 위해 형성된 손잡이가 상기 케이스하고만 고정되어 있어서 배터리 팩 자체의 무게를 견디지 못하고 상기 손잡이와 케이스 사이의 연결부위가 파손되는 문제가 있었다.In addition, the conventional battery pack has a problem in that the handle formed for replacement is fixed only to the case, so that it cannot withstand the weight of the battery pack itself and the connection portion between the handle and the case is damaged.

A support adhesion rib 17 protrudes from the support flange 15 toward the entrance of the accommodation space 11 . The support and adhesion rib 17 is formed so that the cross-sectional shape corresponds to the shape of the entrance of the receiving space 11 . The support adhesion rib 17 is closely attached to the inner surface of the protective case 10 to maintain airtightness between the protective case 10 and the support member 14 .
상기 지지부재(14)의 안착단(16)에는 손잡이(18)가 설치된다. 사용자는 상기 손잡이(18)를 잡고 상기 배터리 팩(1)을 들어올릴 수 있다. 상기 손잡이(18)의 양 쪽 선단에는 고정부(19)가 형성된다. 상기 고정부(19)에는 상기 안착단(16)에 형성된 플레이트고정홀(16a) 및 케이스고정홀(15a)과 대응되는 형상으로 구멍이 뚫려있다. 상기 손잡이(18)는 볼트(B1) 및 체결장치에 의해 상기 지지부재(14) 및 배터리모듈(20)과 결합된다.A handle 18 is installed at the seating end 16 of the support member 14 . A user can lift the battery pack 1 by holding the handle 18 . Fixing portions 19 are formed at both ends of the handle 18 . The fixing part 19 has a hole in the shape corresponding to the plate fixing hole 16a and the case fixing hole 15a formed in the seating end 16 . The handle 18 is coupled to the support member 14 and the battery module 20 by a bolt B1 and a fastening device.
