Patent number: 9660288Abstract: A battery subunit includes multiple battery modules that are connected to one another in a parallel and/or series manner, and a thermal management system that contacts each of the multiple battery modules. Each of the multiple battery modules has respective multiple battery cells. The thermal management system is configured to dissipate heat that occurs during operation of the multiple battery modules. The battery subunit further includes a carrier unit that comprises at least one carrier plate positioned on a side of the thermal management system that is remote from the battery modules. The thermal management system is configured to at least partially receive, and on at least two opposite lying edges comprises, in each case, one or multiple grooves configured to collect and/or drain off at least one of fluids that are situated in the at least one carrier plate, and condensation water and/or leakage from the thermal management system.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignees: Robert Bosch GmbH, Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.Inventors: Boris Gendlin, Johannes Helmich, Michael Wellm, Wolfgang Duernegger

Patent number: 6713917Abstract: A drive device includes an electric drive motor, a housing, at least one shaft which is driven by the drive motor, and a compensating member for compensating the axial clearance of the shaft. A spring ring disk, which can be expanded radially counter to an elastic force and has two stopping surfaces radially extending towards each other on the axis of the shaft in the form of a wedge, is arranged on the shaft as the compensating member. The shaft has a ring-shaped projection which matches one of stopping surfaces and the housing has an annular collar which matches the other stopping surface. The spring ring disc is pre-tensed and arranged in between the projection and the annular collar.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2002Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Valeo Auto-Electric Wischer und Motoren GmbHInventors: Josef Klar, Johannes Helmich, Friedrich Kaiser, Ronald Frey, Werner Baeskow
