  • Cooling device for a vehicle battery, vehicle battery assembly, and method for producing a cooling device
    Patent number: 10520264
    Abstract: A cooling device for an automotive battery includes at least one coolant line and at least one separate pressing element which is designed to be elastic so as to press the coolant line against an exterior side, preferably a flat side, of the automotive battery. The pressing element is designed as a composite component which has a separately manufactured reinforcing component which is enclosed in a plastic material. A method for manufacturing the cooling device includes the acts of providing a reinforcing component, in particular an elastic metal component, manufacturing an elastic pressing element as a composite component by sheathing the reinforcing component with plastic material, and applying a coolant line to the composite component. The composite component is acted upon to press against the coolant line in the event of deformation perpendicular to the exterior side of the automotive battery to be cooled.
