Cushioning and Thermal Insulation Applications of Prismatic Cells

Thermal insulation and cushioning materials in the battery system play a key role and have a profound impact on the performance and safety of the entire new energy vehicle. Thermal insulation materials can effectively block the rapid transfer of heat generated by the high temperature of the battery cell, effectively blocking the spread of thermal runaway; cushioning materials play an important role in absorbing the structural tolerances of the battery cell, the impact energy of the vehicle exercise process and slowing down the vibration. Especially in the vehicle driving process, different road conditions and vibration may adversely affect the battery system, the use of cushioning materials can effectively reduce the damage to the battery from external impacts, to protect the integrity of the battery cell, which is essential to improve the durability of the battery system and damage resistance.

Protection of Sealing in Battery Pack

As a core component of new energy vehicles, the safety of power battery is not only a guarantee for the overall safety of the vehicle, but also directly related to the service life and performance of the vehicle. Among them, one of the keys of the power battery is that it must meet the design requirements of at least IP67 protection level for the shell of electrical equipment, which is the basic guarantee to ensure the stable operation of the battery system in a variety of complex environments. In order to ensure the reliability and safety of the battery system, sealing protection has become a crucial link, effective sealing protection not only guarantees the reliability of the battery system in various extreme environments, but also provides a solid technical basis for the promotion and popularization of new energy vehicles.

Fireproof and Insulation Application in Battery Pack

When the battery pack gets out of thermal control and short-circuits occur, it may lead to fire, which seriously threatens the lives and properties of passengers. Therefore, the selection of fireproof insulation materials is of great significance to avoid the occurrence or spread of fire. In the selection of materials, the main consideration is fireproof and high temperature insulation performance, which can effectively isolate the fire source and inhibit the spread of fire. It is also necessary to reasonably arrange the fireproof material layer, not only to ensure a close fit to the electric core, but also not to affect the normal operation of the battery pack structure and other systems, such as refrigeration systems. Scientific fire insulation design plays an indispensable role in the safety system of new energy vehicles, providing effective protection for vehicle occupants and the surrounding environment in emergency situations.
