DESC:CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The present application is based on and claims priority from an Indian Provisional Application Number 202341053929 filed on 11-08-2023, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to battery packs, and more specifically relates to a lid arrangement of a battery pack.
Description Of the Related Art
[0003] In general, a battery pack is a set of plurality of (identical) cells. The plurality of cells may be connected in series, parallel, or a combination of both (series, and parallel) to deliver the desired voltage, capacity, or power density.
[0004] In conventional methods, the battery packs include a lid for enclosing and protecting the internal components of the battery pack.
a. The lid includes an additional handle which may be an integral part or a separate part so that a user can carry the battery pack conveniently.
b. If a connecting member is fixed on the lid or a casing of the battery pack or one or more wires are taken out of the handle which is positioned integrally on the lid of the battery pack, then the lid requires to be held in hand, and harness assembly needs to be done, which causes difficulty in harness assembly of the battery pack. Furthermore, the harness assembly will be tangled up while closing the lid which requires additional harness cable arresters and fixtures during mass production. The additional harness cable arresters and fixtures make the conventional approach expensive and complex.
[0005] In recent methods, adding one or more components for light and sound alerts to the user at the time of a thermal runaway or fire accident may increase space in the battery pack. So, the dimensions of the battery pack must be increased to include the one or more components and the harness of the one or more components.
[0006] So, the conventional and recent methods are not efficient for solving the above-mentioned problems efficiently. Hence, there remains a need for an improved approach to provide a lid arrangement of a battery pack to address the aforementioned issues.
