Abstract: A battery pack cooling system includes a plurality of cells disposed in an internal space of a battery pack case so as to form a cooling passage configured to cool the cell modules by cooling air flowing in the cooling passage. The cooling passage includes a cooling air inlet passage, a cooling air exhaust passage, and a plurality of cooling branch passages disposed to connect the cooling air inlet passage and the cooling air exhaust passage in parallel. A minimum temperature sensor is disposed in the upstream position to measure a lowest temperature region in a first cell module. A maximum temperature sensor is disposed in the downstream position which becomes a highest temperature region in the first cell module. Another temperature sensor is disposed in a second cell module to measure the temperature of either the highest temperature or the lowest temperature in the second cell module.

Abstract: A cell block includes holding sections that hold a battery cell arrayed body of a lower layer between a lower holding frame member and a middle holding frame member, hold a battery cell arrayed body of an upper layer between the middle holding frame member and an upper holding frame member, and hold the battery cell arrayed body of the upper layer and the battery cell arrayed body of the lower layer in a state displaced from each other in the row direction. Lower fastening sections are disposed at positions below a battery cell and projects in the row direction beyond the battery cell arrayed body of the lower layer, and join the lower holding frame member and the middle holding frame member with each other by fastening.

Abstract: Provided are a battery block and a secondary battery module capable of holding a plurality of battery cells stably and so reducing a load applied to a welding part of a conductive member that is connected to an electrode by welding or the like. The battery block includes a lower holding frame and a middle holding frame, one of which includes two protrusions that are in contact with an outer peripheral face of each battery cell and the other includes a pressing part that presses the outer peripheral face of the battery cell inwardly in the radial direction. Then, one of an upper holding frame and the middle holding frame includes two protrusions that are in contact with an outer peripheral face of each battery cell and the other includes a pressing part that presses the outer peripheral face of the battery cell inwardly in the radial direction.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a battery block capable of reducing stress acting on a connection portion due to thermal expansion/contraction or size error. A battery block (40) according to the present invention includes: a plurality of conductive members (191) arranged along side surfaces (114) of a holding case (111) and electrically connecting corresponding battery cells (101); voltage detection boards (201, 202) disposed opposite the side surfaces (114) of the holding case (111) and detecting the voltage of the battery cells (101); and a plurality of voltage detection terminals (204) respectively electrically connected to a plurality of conductive members (192) disposed on the voltage detection boards (201, 202).

Abstract: A secondary battery module 1 of the present invention stores cell blocks 40 in a module case 2, and cools battery cells 101 in the cell blocks 40 by circulating coolant to the inside of the cell blocks by introduction of the coolant into the module case 2. The secondary battery module has a structure of communicating coolant circulation ports 22 that open to a case wall section 21 of the module case 2 and coolant circulation ports 62a that open to the cell blocks 40 with each other by a communication member 71, and passing wiring through a space region 80 formed outside the communication member 71 and between the case wall section 21 and the cell blocks 40. Thus, wiring can be executed without interfering flow of the coolant, and the total secondary battery module 1 can be miniaturized.
