  • Publication number: 20240170806
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a cell connector assembly for a battery cell of an assembly of battery cells. A serial connector electrically connects a circular annular ring pole of the battery cell to an inner pole of the opposite polarity of at least one other battery cell of the assembly. A parallel connector connects the ring pole to a ring pole of the same polarity of at least one respective other battery cell. The serial connector and the parallel connector and/or at least two parallel connectors are mutually spaced on the ring pole in the circumferential direction. A multi-cell high-voltage storage device includes multiple battery cells, each of which has an inner pole and a circular annular ring pole arranged radially about the inner pole. A cell connector set comprises multiple cell connectors configured to connect the battery cells of the high-voltage storage device together.

  • Publication number: 20230354493
    Abstract: An arrangement for providing at least one or multiple different light functions for a vehicle having: a first lamp segment for providing a first light function in a first normal operation mode, a second lamp segment for providing the first or a second light function in a second normal operation mode, wherein the second lamp segment is connected in parallel to the first lamp segment, at least one switch for switchover between the first and second normal operation modes, and a monitoring device that is electrically connected to the lamp segments in order to sense an electrical voltage across the lamp segments for distinguishing the normal operation modes from faulty operation of the lamp segments.

  • Publication number: 20230187753
    Abstract: An energy store for storing electrical energy includes storage cells in R rows and Q columns. The energy store is divided into Q/N sub-stores which each have R rows and N columns. Further, the energy store includes Q/N sub-contacting systems for the corresponding Q/N sub-stores. The sub-contacting system for a sub-store is configured in each case to interconnect the storage cells of the sub-store in question in accordance with an MP arrangement, in which the storage cells of sub-groups, each with M storage cells, are interconnected in parallel to one another. The energy store further includes Q/N?1 connection elements, via which the Q/N sub-stores are interconnected in series.

  • Patent number: 11402605
    Abstract: A scanning mirror for a laser scanning system includes a central axis, a mirror body, and a mirror surface on a front face of the mirror body. A first recess group is provided and includes a plurality of first recesses formed in the mirror body and arranged on a side of and spaced from the central axis as viewed from a back of the scanning mirror. A balancing mass is accommodated by the first recess group and includes at least one balancing body seated in at least one of the first recesses for balancing the scanning mirror. Each of the first recesses includes at least one radial stop against which the balancing body rests such that the balancing body is held in the first recess at a constant distance from the central axis. A method is also provided for balancing the scanning mirror.

  • Publication number: 20200256386
    Abstract: An anti-friction bearing cage for an anti-friction bearing includes a cage ring with an inner radius, a first cage bar, a second cage bar, and a receiving pocket delimited by the cage ring and the cage bars. The first cage bar projects from the cage ring and includes a first side flank with a first part surface extending in a demolding direction for a common slide and a second part surface arranged adjoining the inner radius. The second cage bar projects from the cage ring and is successive to the first cage bar in the circumferential direction. The second cage bar has a second side flank, pointing towards the first side flank in a tangential direction, with a third part surface extending in the demolding direction and parallel to the first part surface in a part region, and a fourth part surface arranged at a spacing from the inner radius.
