Patent number: 9321340Abstract: An energy storage system comprising at least one energy storage module adapted to supply electrical energy to a hybrid vehicle. The energy storage module comprises an enclosure and at least one battery array located within the enclosure. The battery array also includes a voltage sense board having a plurality of bus bars disposed therein. The bus bars connect a positive terminal of a first battery cell to a negative terminal of a second battery cell. The voltage sense board has missing final bus bars in designated locations of the voltage sense board to limit the exposed voltage to 50 volts during initial assembly. The final bus bars are installed last in conjunction with safety covers which have overlap portions to cover the installed final bus bars.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Allison Transmission, Inc.Inventors: Brian J.

Patent number: 8728642Abstract: An energy storage system comprising at least one energy storage module adapted to supply electrical energy to a hybrid vehicle. The energy storage module comprises an enclosure, at least one battery array located within the enclosure, and an energy storage controller module located within the enclosure and electrically connected to the battery array. A high voltage junction box is attached to a first end of the enclosure and having a plurality of high voltage connection terminals connected by a plug-in bussed electrical center configured to reduce the possibility of unintentional grounding or shorting, and decreases the safety risk to a technician during servicing. At least one of the high voltage connection terminals is configured to receive a high voltage conductor connected between the energy storage module and an inverter of the hybrid vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Allison Transmission, Inc.Inventors: Brian J.

Publication number: 20120244400Abstract: An energy storage system comprising at least one energy storage module implemented as a sealed or submersible unit and adapted to supply electrical energy to a hybrid vehicle. The energy storage module comprises an enclosure and at least one battery array located within the enclosure. The energy storage module includes a pressure relief panel held in place by springs that allows battery gases to escape if gas pressures reach a predetermined threshold. Pressure in the enclosure compresses the springs causing the pressure relief panel to temporarily move outward until pressure is relieved at which time the springs force the pressure relief panel to reseal the enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2012Publication date: September 27, 2012Inventors: Daniel J. Youngs, Kurt Biehl, Edward Bass, Eric D. Schneider, Felice E. Bailey, Steven T. Reyburn, Dean M. Ford, Clyde H. Johnson, Scott K. Bennett, Brian J. Maskew, Leonard F. Baxter, II, Bruce E.

Publication number: 20030193260Abstract: A composite powder metal stator sleeve for placing adjacent the tip-less teeth of a conventional stator core to form a stator assembly in an electric machine. The sleeve includes alternating tooth tip-shaped magnetically conducting segments of sintered ferromagnetic powder metal and magnetically non-conducting segments of sintered non-ferromagnetic powder metal. A stator assembly is also provided in which a stator core, for example, of stamped laminations, includes radially extending tip-less teeth, and the composite sleeve of the present invention surrounds and contacts the teeth of the stator core to form tips extending from the teeth and topsticks/slot wedges between the tips. There is further provided alternative methods of making an annular composite powder metal stator sleeve of the present invention, including a compaction-sintering method, an injection molding method, and a sinterbonding method.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2002Publication date: October 16, 2003Inventors: Frederick B.
