Abstract: A compression pad having a shape memory function for a battery cell stack. The pad includes an internal space in which a filler material is present, wherein the internal space is additionally filled with a medium or the medium is machined into the filler material. Due to its strength, the medium holds the compression pad in a compressed shape compared to a shape that the compression pad would take without the medium. Further, there are described methods for manufacturing a compression pad with a shape memory function as well as for manufacturing a battery cell module.

Abstract: An engine hood drive for an engine hood system of a motor vehicle includes a drive unit for delivering a torque at a predetermined adjusting angle between a passive position and an active position. A drive lever is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the drive unit for pivoting between the passive position and the active position and which has an actuating end. A driving slot has a guide receiver for the actuating end of the drive lever. The driving slot is pivotable about a flap hinge for an engine hood at a predetermined flap angle between a closed position and an open position. The driving slot is transferrable in the direction of the open position as a result of a pivoting movement of the drive lever from the direction of the passive position in the direction of the active position.

Abstract: An impact detection device for a traction battery of a motor vehicle includes at least one air-filled chamber formed on an underbody element for the traction battery. An air-filled chamber is at least laterally sealed to outside and defined by a sealing material. A pressure hose and an introduction element for the pressure hose can be provided, wherein the air-filled chamber can be coupled to a pressure sensor through the pressure hose, and the introduction element can be attached to the underbody element and formed to couple the pressure hose to the air-filled chamber through the sealing material in a set position. The introduction element can be embedded by the sealing material which seals the air-filled chamber.

Abstract: A traction battery with a battery housing and a plurality of battery cells arranged in the battery housing. At least one flame-retardant plate is arranged in the battery housing and separates two housing chambers from one another. A plate receiving structure with at least one groove pair including two opposite grooves is present in the battery housing. The at least one flame-retardant plate is held in the battery housing by the plate receiving structure. Also described is a method for producing such a traction battery.

Abstract: A bumper with a charging port which is closable by a cover that is, by way of a combined drive-and-guide device arranged in the bumper, movable between a closed position in which the charging port is covered by the cover and an open position in which the charging port is exposed by the cover. In order to simplify the manufacture of bumpers, the combined drive-and-guide device is fastened on the bumper to a unit fastening point of an individually customized adapter frame facing the combined drive-and-guide device.

Abstract: A charging connector apparatus for an electrically driven motor vehicle. The apparatus has a charging socket designed in a country-specific manner and an adapter element for fastening the charging socket designed in a country-specific manner on a vehicle body which includes a charging port. In order to simplify the manufacture and assembly of the charging connector apparatus, the adapter element for fastening charging socket designed in a country-specific manner is attached to a combined drive-and-guide device for a cover which, with the aid of the combined drive-and-guide device, can be moved between a closed position in which the charging port is closed by the cover and an open position in which, with the aid of the combined drive-and-guide device, the charging port is exposed by the cover.

Abstract: An apparatus for exposing and covering a charging port having a cover, which is movable between a closed position, in which the charging port is covered by the cover, and an open position, in which the charging port is exposed by the cover, using a combined drive-and-guide device, which is moved inwardly from its closed position in relation to an outer skin comprising the charging port. In order to simplify the apparatus for exposing and covering a charging port having a cover, the combined drive-and-guide device includes a gearwheel/rack combination operatively connected to the cover and having two racks arranged in parallel and meshing with a respective gearwheel. The two gearwheels are electromotively driven about a common axis of rotation.

Abstract: A cooling segment for controlling the temperature of a battery module of a motor vehicle battery. The cooling segment includes an inflow channel for feeding of a cooling fluid, an outflow channel for discharge of the cooling fluid, which runs spaced apart from the inflow channel, and a plurality of cooling channels which communicate with the inflow channel and the outflow channel. The respective cooling channel has a first channel portion which is connected directly to the inflow channel and which partially runs to the outflow channel. A second channel portion is connected directly to the first channel portion and runs away from the outflow channel and partially toward the inflow channel. A final portion is connected directly or indirectly to the second channel portion and connected directly to the outflow channel.

Abstract: A charging station (10) is provided for electrical DC charging of an electric vehicle with a charging power of at least 150 kW. The charging station (10) has a charging cable (11) with a charging plug (12), via which an electric vehicle to be charged is able to be coupled to the charging station (10) for the purpose of electrical DC charging. A charging interface (13) for electrical AC charging is integrated into the charging station (10).
