  • Patent number: 11990299
    Abstract: A switch-off device includes a current conductor for forming a load current path, a pyrotechnically activatable separating unit for interrupting the load current path in the event of a fault, including a separating element for detaching the current conductor and a pyrotechnic element for accelerating the separating element in the direction of the current conductor, and an arc extinguishing unit for extinguishing an arc, including a melting conductor which is not normally incorporated into the load current path and an extinguishing device for extinguishing the melting conductor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 26, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2024
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft

  • Publication number: 20240123831
    Abstract: A switching device for a multi-pole high-voltage vehicle power supply of an electrically operable motor vehicle is provided. The switching device includes at least one first electromechanical switch assigned to a first pole of at least one high-voltage accumulator, and having at least one second electromechanical switch assigned to a second pole of at least one high-voltage accumulator, wherein a first switch and a second switch have a different design and are designed to meet a first defined requirement together, and wherein at least one of the two switch types—here referred to as the first switch—is designed so as meet at least a second defined requirement on its own.

  • Patent number: 11878565
    Abstract: An air-conditioning system for an electrically drivable motor vehicle includes a first vehicle component to be temperature-controlled, a second vehicle component to be temperature-controlled, which is arranged on at least one cooling body, and a heat transport medium-carrying first circuit, which is provided for controlling the temperature of the vehicle components and to which the first vehicle component and the at least one cooling body of the second vehicle component are connected. A heating device which is configured to release heating energy to the heat transport medium is arranged on the at least one cooling body, wherein via the heat transport medium, the heating energy can be transported at least partially to the first vehicle component for the purpose of heating the first vehicle component.
