In this case, when an abnormal phenomenon occurs in the battery cell 101 , the venting gas may be better induced to the venting gate 121 by the arrangement of the venting induction part 114V.
- the venting gas induced to the venting gate 121 is controlled by the venting induction frame 300 of the battery pack 1000 unit described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 , thereby improving the safety of the battery pack.
- FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating a flow of a venting gas when an abnormal phenomenon occurs in a battery pack according to a comparative example.
- 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a flow of a venting gas when an abnormal phenomenon occurs in the battery pack according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the venting gas when an abnormal phenomenon occurs in the first battery cell, the venting gas is discharged from the battery cell 101 by the venting induction unit 114V shown in FIG. , the venting gas inside the battery module 100 is discharged to the outside of the battery module 100 through the venting gate 121 , and a venting induction including a pair of vertical beams 310 and a pair of horizontal beams 320 .
- the venting gas inside the battery pack 1000 may be controlled and safety may be increased.
- the above-described battery module and battery pack including the same may be applied to various devices. These devices can be applied to transportation means such as electric bicycles, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto and can be applied to various devices that can use a battery module and a battery pack including the same. It belongs to the scope of the invention.
