  • Publication number: 20220037700
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (101, 102, 103) for energy distribution and/or energy conversion, the device being arranged in a hybrid- or electric vehicle (10) having at least one vehicle interior (20) and at least one battery (40) for driving at least one electric drive motor (50). To improve the total energy balance of the hybrid- or electric vehicle (10), according to the invention the device (101, 102, 103) comprises a housing (110) in which at least one electronic, electric, electromechanical, or electrochemical device (121, 122, 131, 132, 133, 161, 162, 171, 172) is arranged, the waste heat of which, generated during the distribution and/or conversion of energy, is fed into a flow of heat transfer medium (210) which passes through the housing (110), said flow being connected at its outlet to the vehicle interior (20) and/or to the battery (40).

  • Publication number: 20170284581
    Abstract: The invention relates to a locking element (30) for detachably fixing a fluid-guiding plug (40) to a connector (10). To facilitate handling during coupling and decoupling, the locking element (30) has at least one spring element (37) or is connected to or engages with such an element, by means of which spring element the locking element is autonomously brought into a locking position with the plug (40) and is held in this locking position. The invention also relates to a locking system for detachable locking of a fluid-guiding plug (40) to a connector (10) in which a locking element (30) of this type is used.
