Abstract: A battery pack includes a cell module assembly including a battery cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked; a pack case configured so as to house the cell module assembly and opened at its upper surface; and a fire-fighting tank located above the cell module assembly and covering the pack case, wherein the fire-fighting tank comprises: an internal space that houses the fire extinguishing agent; and a plurality of fragile parts that are parts where the thickness of the base plate of the fire-fighting tank is relatively thin, and are melted and opened by a thermal event of the battery cell.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a cell module assembly including a battery cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked; a pack case configured so as to house the cell module assembly and including a venting hole on at least one surface; and a filter disposed in the venting hole and configured to be detachable. The filter is mounted on the venting hole to filter venting gas when a thermal event occurs in the battery cell, and can be removed from the venting hole so as to promote maintenance and repair of the inside of the battery pack in normal times.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a plurality of battery modules including module cases. Side surfaces of the module cases in which battery cells are accommodated face each other and a water injection hole is formed in a top surface of each of the module cases, and a fire extinguishing tank unit containing a fire extinguishing agent, located over the plurality of battery modules, and configured to supply the fire extinguishing agent only into a battery module in which a thermal event occurs from among the plurality of battery modules through the water injection holes.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a battery module having at least one battery cell, a control module connected to the battery module and configured to manage the battery module, a fire extinguishing tank containing a fire extinguishing agent and coupled to at least one of the battery module and the control module, and a side cover mounted on one side of the fire extinguishing tank and configured to guide electrical connection between the battery module and the control module.

Abstract: A battery pack ensures safety even when a thermal event occurs. A battery pack includes a battery module including one or more battery cells, a control module connected to the battery module to manage the battery module, and a fire extinguishing tank containing a fire extinguishing agent and coupled to at least one of the battery module and the control module.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a battery module including a water injection hole through which a fire extinguishing liquid can be supplied at an upper end portion and at least one drain hole through which the fire extinguishing liquid can be discharged at a lower end portion, a fire extinguishing tank unit containing the fire extinguishing liquid, located over the battery module, and configured to supply the fire extinguishing liquid to the battery module through the water injection hole, and a module supporter unit located under the battery module and supporting the battery module so that the battery module is located at a certain height from a ground. The module supporter unit includes a contaminated water storage container in which the fire extinguishing liquid dropping from the battery module through the drain hole is accommodated.

Abstract: A battery pack is advantageous for effective control and maintenance of thermal events. A battery pack according to one aspect of the present disclosure may include a battery module having one or more battery cells; a fire extinguishing tank holding a fire extinguishing liquid, disposed on top of the battery module and having a through hole formed therein; and a cover member installed in the through hole of the fire extinguishing tank and configured to open or close the through hole according to a change in internal pressure of the fire extinguishing tank.

Abstract: A battery module includes a battery cell assembly having a plurality of battery cells stacked on each other, a pair of end plates provided at both front and rear sides of the battery cell assembly, a pair of buffer plates provided to the pair of end plates and disposed at both front and rear sides of the battery cell assembly; and at least one pressing plate provided between the pair of buffer plates and disposed between the battery cells of the battery cell assembly. The pair of buffer plates and the at least one pressing plate are configured such that front surfaces and rear surfaces thereof in a front and rear direction of the battery cell assembly have a flat shape.
