FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a battery cell holder 600b according to an embodiment of the present invention. The battery cell holder 600b can be composed of an insulating plate 610 and a guide portion 620. The battery cell holder 600b is formed of an insulating material such as a synthetic resin (Plastic). The insulating plate 610 may have various shapes depending on the shape of the corresponding side surface of the battery cell 10. For example, it can be formed in a rectangular plate shape. The insulating plate may be formed of a synthetic resin or may include an aluminum plate, and may include an insulating coating on the surface of the aluminum plate. The insulating plate 610 can be disposed between two battery cells 10 stacked in the first direction. That is, it can be located between two battery cells 10 arranged in a stacked manner. The insulating plate 610 can be disposed on the same plane as the second direction intersecting the first direction, and has a function of insulating the battery cell 10.
A guide portion 620 is provided on the outer surface of the insulating plate 600b.

For example, the guide unit 620 may include a first slot that exposes one side of the battery cell and a second slot that exposes the other side of the battery cell 10. Heat generated from the battery cell 10 is easily discharged through the slot 621. Similar to the insulating plate 600b, the region of the guide portion surrounding the slot can be formed of a synthetic resin material.
With reference to FIG. 4 thru | or FIG.5 (b), a protrusion part is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state of a battery cell holder according to another embodiment, and FIGS. 5A and 5B are partial cross-sectional views showing an embodiment of a protruding portion.
The protrusions 630 are all provided on both opposing surfaces of the insulating plate 600c. The protrusion 630 may include an upper protrusion that faces the first surface of any one of the adjacent battery cells and a lower protrusion that faces the second surface of the other adjacent battery cell 10. The upper protrusion 630 can directly contact the first surface of the adjacent battery cell 10, and the lower protrusion can directly contact the second surface of the other adjacent battery cell 10. The protrusion defines a predetermined separation space between the insulating plate and the battery cell adjacent to the protrusion.
The guide portion 620 extends vertically along the side surface of the insulating plate 610 in a direction substantially parallel to the protruding direction of the protruding portion. The protrusions 630 on both surfaces of the insulating plate 610 may not be formed at the same position in the vertical cross section including the insulating plate 610.
The protrusion 630 can form a point contact with the adjacent battery cell 10. That is, one contact on the protrusion 630 can directly contact the adjacent battery cell 10. Referring to FIG. 4, a plurality of protrusions 630 may be formed on both the top and bottom surfaces of the insulating plate 610. The protrusion may have a uniform thickness, but the shape is not limited. For example, it can be formed into a quadrangle, a triangle, a semicircle, etc., but is not limited to these. Referring to FIG. 5A, the protrusion 630a on one side is formed to have the same thickness as the protrusion 630a 'on the opposite side, and may have a substantially uniform thickness. Referring to FIG. 5B, the protrusions 630b and 630b 'show point contact with the battery cell 10 placed on the insulating plate.
However, the protrusions 630 may not be formed at the same position on the vertical cross section along the line including N1-N2 including the vertical normal line of the insulating plate 610. That is, the protrusion 630 can be formed in a zigzag shape. That is, as shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, the upper protrusion 630a and the lower protrusion 630b are provided so as not to overlap or overlap in position regardless of the vertical cross section of the insulating plate 610. Is preferred. When the upper protruding portion 630a and the lower protruding portion 630b are formed to overlap each other, there may be a problem that heat generated from the battery cell is concentrated locally to form a hot spot.
A battery cell holder having a twist preventing function will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state of a battery cell holder according to another embodiment.
The slot 621a in the form of an incision part is formed discontinuously on one surface of the guide part 620a and releases heat. As shown in FIG. 3, the slot 621 a can be formed in a guide part 620 extending along the battery cell 10, and the side surface of the battery cell 10 can be exposed in the slot 621 a. The incision 621 may be bent or deformed due to heat or external impact. Referring to FIG. 6, the slot 621a can be formed at several positions discontinuously along the guide portion 620 in the battery cell holder 600d.

The guide part 620 b corresponds to the terminal surface 16 of the battery cell 10. The guide part 620b corresponding to the terminal surface of the battery cell 10 can be formed such that the upper end of one surface is lowered and the height H1 is lower than the height H2 of the other guide part 620a. As shown in FIG. 8, when the battery cell 10 is placed on the battery cell holder 600e, there is room for interference with the electrode terminal 11 depending on the height of the guide portion 620a. For this reason, the height of the upper end of the guide portion 620b on the terminal surface side can be lowered, and the room for causing interference with the electrode terminal 11 can be reduced. The guide part 620a can expose the vent part 17 formed on the terminal surface 16, and the guide parts 620a and 620b are formed continuously along the insulating plate, and the guide parts 620a and 620b are the insulating plate. 610 is formed along the corners. The battery cell holder for weight reduction will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a state of a battery cell holder according to another embodiment.

FIG. 9 shows a battery cell holder 600f including a guide portion 620c that functions as a guide for the battery cell 10. That is, the guide portion can be formed only at the corner of the insulating plate 610. Here, the guide portions 620 c are spaced along the outer peripheral surface of the insulating plate 610 and are formed so as to surround the corners of the insulating plate 610. For example, the guide part 620c includes a first region corresponding to one side of the insulating plate 610 and a second region corresponding to the other side surface of the insulating plate 610 so as to extend along a corner of the insulating plate. The guide part 620c covering the terminal surface 16 is formed apart from the electrode terminal 11 and the vent part 17, and serves only to guide the battery cell 10 to be properly positioned in the battery module 100a. The battery cell holder 600f may include protrusions 630 formed on both side surfaces of the insulating plate 610.
At this time, the length and height of the guide part 620 are not limited. For example, the height of the guide part 620c may be smaller than or equal to the height of the battery cell 10 placed in the guide part 620c. The height of the guide corresponding to the terminal surface 16 of the battery cell 10 may be smaller than the height of the region corresponding to the other side surface of the battery cell 10.
With reference to FIG. 10, an embodiment of an insulating plate that facilitates heat dissipation will be described. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the insulating plate.
The battery cell holder 600g may include an insulating coating 650 on the surfaces of the metal plate 610c and the protrusion 630c. The protrusion 630c can be formed directly on the metal plate 610c. The insulating coating 650 provides insulation between the battery cells, and the plates 610c and the protrusions 630c serve to quickly transfer the heat generated from the battery cells to the outside. In the case of the present embodiment, the effect that heat generated inside can be dissipated more quickly is obtained.
The plate 610c and / or the protrusion 630c can be formed of an aluminum material. In this case, the insulating coating 650 can be formed by a hard anodizing coding method. Hard anodizing coding refers to a method of forming a film by changing the surface of an aluminum metal to alumina ceramic using an electrochemical method. The coating by hard anodizing coding exhibits corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and insulation.
With reference to FIGS. 11, 12, and 13, the coupling relationship of the battery modules including the battery cell holder according to the present invention will be described. 11 is an exploded perspective view showing a state of the battery module according to one embodiment, and FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing a state where the battery module of FIG. 11 is assembled. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a battery module according to another embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the battery cell holder 600e may include a guide part 620 extending in a direction parallel to the side surface fixing member 400. That is, in this embodiment, at least one guide portion 620 parallel to the side surface fixing member 400 can overlap the side surface fixing member 400.
FIG. 13 shows another embodiment, which is an assembled form without the vertical insulating member 500. The two battery cell holders 600e of the pair of battery cells 10 are in contact with each other. That is, they can be in direct contact with each other without the vertical insulating member 500. Since the vertical insulating member 500 is not provided, the pair of battery cells 10 are horizontally aligned and separated from each other by the combined thickness of the guide portions 620 of the two battery cell holders 600e that are in contact with each other. Therefore, the guide part 620 can serve as a pair of battery cell insulating members arranged in the second direction. In the present embodiment, the present invention has been described with respect to the battery cell holder and the battery module including the same. The battery cell includes an electrode terminal, a terminal surface having an exposed vent portion, and a bottom surface opposite to the terminal surface. At least two or more battery cells are stacked to form a battery module to form a battery array. The pair of battery cells are arranged in the second direction, that is, in the horizontal direction. That is, the bottom surfaces face each other. The pair of battery cells are stacked in the vertical direction intersecting the second direction in the first direction.
