Abstract: Provided is a battery module. The battery module includes: a plurality of battery packs; a bus bar electrically connecting neighboring battery packs to each other; and a bus bar cover covering an end portion of the bus bar for insulating the bus bar, the bus bar cover including a hollow portion through which a coupling hole of the bus bar is exposed, the hollow portion extending in a direction away from the bus bar. According to embodiments, in the battery module, the bus bar electrically connecting different battery packs is sufficiently insulated to prevent malfunctions and safety accidents caused by a short circuit of the bus bar through which charging and discharging high-voltage current flows.

Abstract: A battery module is provided. The battery module includes: a housing accommodating a plurality of battery packs electrically connected to each other; and a high-voltage connector formed on the housing, wherein the high-voltage connector includes: a terminal block including an electrode through which current flows and a shielding portion formed to surround the electrode; a connection block electrically connected to the shielding portion; and a bracket interposed between the terminal block and the connection block, wherein the bracket includes a first ground hole forming an electrical connection with the connection block and a second ground hole forming an electrical connection with the housing, and a helical pattern is formed in the first and second ground holes. Accordingly, electromagnetic noise may be effectively shielded and removed.

Abstract: A battery module is provided. The battery module includes: first and second bus bars arranged adjacent to each other to electrically connect battery packs adjacent to each other; and a bus bar cover covering and insulating the first and second bus bars from the outside thereof and insulating the first and second bus bars from each other, wherein the bus bar cover includes a hollow portion exposing a coupling hole of the first and second bus bars. Accordingly, sufficient insulation may be secured for the bus bars electrically connecting different battery packs, malfunction and safety accidents caused by the short circuit of the bus bars through which high-voltage charge/discharge currents flow may be prevented, and the insulation structure of the bus bars may be simplified by accommodating different adjacent bus bars together.
