Specification

DESC:CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application is based on and claims priority from an Indian Provisional Application Number 202341053930 filed on 11-08-2023, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to battery packs, and more particularly to a Battery Management System (BMS) mounting plate arrangement with conducting material layout of the battery pack.
Description of the Related Art
In general, a battery pack is a set of a 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.
In conventional methods, automobile manufacturers come up with less weight and maximum capacity of the battery pack by using optimal packaging strategies.
Mostly, the automobile manufacturers use one or more cables in the battery pack for distributing electric power. Excessive bending of the one or more cables more than their bending radius, heavily affects performance of the one or more cables (for example, insulation breakdown or even cable failure). Also, excessive bending of the cable shortens the overall lifespan of the cable. Bending the one or more cables too tightly may (i) damage one or more current conducting elements that are present inside the one or more cables, and (ii) changes in the cross-sectional area of the one or more cables, which results in increased resistance. Distributing electric power using the one or more cables without excessive bending requires more space in the battery pack.
The heat generated from one or more components of the BMS, and the plurality of cells may reduce life of the one or more components of the BMS and the plurality of cells or damage the one or more components of the BMS and the plurality of cells if not cooled properly. Since the one or more components of the BMS and the plurality of cells are damaged by the heat, further the heat affects the battery pack.
In recent methods, one or more terminals that are positioned on the BMS, which allows power distribution to the BMS from the plurality of cells creates more heat energy. The recent method does not have any course of action to dissipate the heat energy.
So, the conventional method is not efficient for solving the above-mentioned problems efficiently. Hence is desirable to address the above-mentioned problem and disadvantages or at least provide a useful alternative.
