That is, since a portion of the bus bar 120 extends in a zigzag manner to be adjacent to the positive terminal 111 or the negative terminal 112 , the extension length of the connecting member 130 may be minimized. Accordingly, according to the present invention, as the length of the connecting member 130 increases, it is possible to effectively reduce an increase in material cost and an increase in the risk of disconnection due to collision with an external material.
- the bus bar 120 of the battery module 100 has a fixing protrusion on the connection part 122 when compared with the bus bar 120 shown in FIG. 4 .
- (P) may be further provided.
- Other configurations of the bus bar 120 are the same as those of the bus bar 120 shown in FIG. 4 , so a description of the configurations will be omitted.
- the fixing protrusion P may be configured to surround an end of the first connecting member 131 .
- the fixing protrusion P may be formed so that a portion of the connection part 122 protrudes outward.
- the fixing protrusion P may be configured to surround at least one side of an end of the first connecting member 131 .
- the fixing protrusion P is, for example, of the first connecting member 131 , as shown in FIG. 7 , the bus bar 120 is disposed at an end of the first connecting member 131 in three directions.
- a fixing protrusion P configured to surround the side portions may be provided.
- the fixing protrusion P may have a shape protruding toward the cylindrical battery cell 110 (outward direction).
- a portion of the connecting portion 122 of the bus bar 120 is provided with a protruding fixing protrusion P, so that the first connection joined to the connecting portion 122 is provided. It is possible to prevent the end of the member 131 from being detached by an external impact. That is, the fixing protrusion P may prevent an external material from being separated by colliding with the joint portion between the end of the first connecting member 131 and the connecting portion 122 . Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to minimize the connection failure between the bus bar 120 and the connecting member 130, and thus, it is possible to effectively increase the durability.
- the battery pack (not shown separately) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes at least one or more of the battery modules 100 and a BMS electrically connected to the bus bar 120 of the battery module 100 . can do.
- the BMS may include various circuits or devices to control charging and discharging of the plurality of battery cells.
- a vehicle (not shown separately) may include at least one or more of the battery module 100 and an accommodating space for accommodating the battery module 100 .
- the vehicle may be an electric vehicle, an electric scooter, an electric wheelchair, or an electric bike.
