Abstract:
Disclosed is a battery pack using a direct cooling method on the edge surface of a battery. The direct cooling-type battery pack, which is prevented from leakage caused by swelling through a cooling surface formed on an edge surface of a battery cell and is applicable to a bi-directional cell, includes: a battery module having a plurality of battery cells stacked therein; a cooling frame corresponding to a casing in which the battery module is received, and forming a cooling surface on an edge surface in a direction of 90° from a stacking surface on which the battery cells are stacked; and a heat sink which is positioned at the bottom of the cooling surface, is coupled with a cooling frame enclosing the battery module and mounted to the upper part thereof, stores a coolant therein, and supplies the stored coolant to the cooling surface. According to the present disclosure, a direct cooling-type cooling surface is formed on one edge surface of a battery pack to prevent leakage of a coolant caused by swelling and to provide a battery pack applicable to a bi-directional cell.
