Patent number: 10431784Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for clamping a lithium ion accumulator, which has a lithium ion accumulator cell stack having a top surface, a base surface opposite the top surface and a peripheral surface having four side surfaces, and at least two prismatic lithium ion accumulator cells. The lithium ion accumulator cell stack is clamped by at least one tension strap apparatus which is arranged and tensioned in the region of the peripheral surface, the ends of the tension strap meanwhile being kept free of tension. While free of tension, the ends of the tension strap are connected to each other directly or indirectly by using one or two plates, which are arranged on a side surface or two mutually opposite side surfaces of the peripheral surface. The disclosure further relates to a lithium ion accumulator and a motor vehicle having a lithium ion accumulator.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2011Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignees: Robert Bosch GmbH, Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.Inventors: Stefan Pfeiffer, Michael Gless, Axel Bormann, Conrad Bubeck

Patent number: 9543550Abstract: A battery cell module includes a plurality of battery cells, in particular lithium-ion battery cells which are arranged in a packet and each of which has a substantially prismatic cell housing. Each cell housing has the three dimensions: housing height, housing width, and housing depth. Two of the dimensions are carried out in a substantially identical manner in all the battery cells of the battery cell module, and the third dimension is carried out differently in at least two battery cells of the battery cell module. A battery includes said battery cell module and a motor vehicle includes said battery.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignees: Robert Bosch GmbH, Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ralf Angerbauer, Conrad Bubeck

Patent number: 9531044Abstract: A battery includes an essentially airtight housing having an air-permeable opening for pressure compensation. The battery also includes a plurality of battery cells arranged in the housing. The battery also includes an active cooling device configured to cool the battery cells in the housing. The cooling device includes a coolant and a distributor block configured to distribute the coolant. The battery also includes an air duct integrated in the distributor block. The air duct is configured and arranged such that the air-permeable opening of the housing is connected to ambient air via the air duct.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2011Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignees: Robert Bosch GmbH, Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.Inventors: Florian Engel, Michael Gless, Conrad Bubeck, Andreas Ruehle

Patent number: 9478810Abstract: A battery includes at least one battery module having a lower face, a cooling plate having an upper face, and a fixing system configured for the at least one battery module. The battery module is arranged on the upper face of the cooling plate. The fixing system includes at least two rails running at a distance from each other. The at least one battery module is fixed on the cooling plate by the rails in such a way that the lower face of the battery module is in direct contact with the upper face of the cooling plate. A motor vehicle includes the battery.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignees: Samsung SDI Co., Ltd., Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Boris Gendlin, Marc Dill, Ralf Angerbauer, Conrad Bubeck, Andreas Rueble

Patent number: 9368773Abstract: The disclosure relates to a battery cell module including a plurality of lithium ion battery cells, each having a degassing opening, and a cover substantially sealingly connected to a corresponding surface of each of the battery cells. The cover defines a gas receiving space configured to at least temporarily receive gas escaping from the battery cells. The gas receiving space is open in the direction of the battery cells. The opening area of the gas receiving space extends across a plurality of the battery cells. The disclosure further relates to a method for producing a battery cell module, to a battery, and to a motor vehicle having the battery cell module or the battery.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2011Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Boris Gendlin, Michael Gless, Ralf Angerbauer, Conrad Bubeck, Stefan Baumann, Andreas Ruehle
