Abstract:
A battery module includes a plurality of single cells, a battery chamber, an exhaust chamber, a partition wall, a smoke exhaust cover and a seal member. The exhaust chamber is provided adjacently to the battery chamber. Gas released from the single cells flows through the exhaust chamber. The exhaust chamber has one or more exhaust holes configured to release the gas to an outside. The partition wall isolates the exhaust chamber and the battery chamber from each other. The smoke exhaust cover is arranged so as to lace the partition wall. The exhaust chamber is surrounded by the partition wall, the smoke exhaust cover and the seal member. The smoke exhaust cover has a protective protrusion at a location between the seal member and the exhaust valves adjacent to the seal member. The protective protrusion is configured upright from the smoke exhaust cover toward the partition wall.

Claim (Index 7):
A battery module comprising:\n a plurality of single cells each including an exhaust valve configured to release gas; a battery chamber accommodating the plurality of single cells; an exhaust chamber provided adjacently to the battery chamber, the exhaust chamber having one or more exhaust holes configured to flow through gas released from the single cells and configured to release the gas to an outside; a partition wall isolating the exhaust chamber and the battery chamber from each other in a state where the exhaust valves of the plurality of single cells are exposed to the exhaust chamber; a smoke exhaust cover arranged so as to face the partition wall; and a seal member interposed between a peripheral edge of the smoke exhaust cover and a peripheral edge of the partition wall, the seal member sealing the smoke exhaust cover and the partition wall in an airtight manner, the exhaust chamber being surrounded by the partition wall, the smoke exhaust cover and the seal member, and the smoke exhaust cover including a protrusion that is configured upright from the smoke exhaust cover toward the partition wall at least at a location between the seal member and the exhaust valves adjacent to the seal member without intervening the exhaust hole in order to block gas, released from the exhaust valves of the plurality of single cells, from reaching the seal member.
