  • Patent number: 11951825
    Abstract: A charging connection device for a vehicle includes a junction box disposed in a recess, a junction box cover flap, and a cover flap. The junction box cover flap and the cover flap are each pivotable into an open position and a closed position. The junction box cover flap covers the junction box in the closed position and the recess is coverable by the cover flap. When the cover flap is displaced from the open position into the closed position the cover flap entrains the junction box cover flap. The junction box cover flap has a first element of a junction box connecting device and the junction box or a component that defines the recess has a second element of the junction box connecting device. In the closed position of the junction box cover flap, the junction box cover flap is held magnetically releasably by the junction box connecting device.

  • Publication number: 20240079668
    Abstract: A battery arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a battery housing and a cell module that is disposed on a base plate of the battery housing. The cell module has a cell module housing and a plurality of battery cells disposed in the cell module housing and a base of the cell module housing is connected to the base plate of the battery housing by an adhesive compound. The cell module housing is connected to a side wall of the battery housing by an adhesive and the adhesive has a higher shearing resistance than the adhesive compound disposed between a base of the cell module housing and the base plate of the battery housing.

  • Publication number: 20230349646
    Abstract: A heat conduction device for an electrical energy storage of an at least partially electric motor vehicle includes a heat conduction element that is configured to be in contact with a battery cell of the electrical energy storage and to dissipate heat from the battery cell. A spring element is configured to exert a defined spring force between the battery cell and the heat conduction element. The heat conduction element is rotatably disposed on a holding device of the heat conduction device and the spring element is disposed on the heat conduction element and/or on the holding device such that a rotational movement of the heat conduction element is cushioned.

  • Patent number: 11161405
    Abstract: A sealing device for sealing a through opening in a vehicle chassis includes a sealing element that can be shifted between an open position, in which the through opening is released, and a closed position, in which the through opening can be closed. The sealing device has an adjusting device which includes a guide housing that can be arranged in a spatially fixed manner on the vehicle chassis, in which guide housing a carrier element is translationally and pivotably guided, where the carrier element has the sealing element. A slide guide is provided, via which the carrier element can be translationally shifted and pivoted in relation to the guide housing. A traction element is translationally entrainably connected to the carrier element, and simultaneously connected in a rotationally decoupled manner, via a pivot bearing. The traction element is translationally shiftable by the drive.
