  • Patent number: 10511066
    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.

  • Publication number: 20180138479
    Abstract: An object is to obtain a power storage device which can prevent infiltration of a fluid such as water through a gas exhaust tube. A power storage device of the present invention includes a power storage case housing battery cells, a gas exhaust tube communicating between the interior and exterior of the power storage case, and an infiltration prevention mechanism unit preventing a fluid from passing through the gas exhaust tube and infiltrating from the exterior into the interior of the power storage case. The infiltration prevention mechanism unit includes a valve case having a flow path communicating between the interior and exterior of the power storage case, a valve body housed in the valve case and selectively movable to a closed position and an open position, and a guide member guiding the valve body movably in the fluid flow direction.
