  • Patent number: 11502582
    Abstract: A spring clamp for plugging onto an electrical conductor of an electric machine, having a first spring leg and a second spring leg adjoining the first spring leg. The spring legs are arranged and/or formed with respect to one another in such a way that a receiving opening for receiving the electrical conductor is formed between a free first end portion of the first spring leg and a free second end portion of the second spring leg, and the conductor is clamped between the first end portion and the second end portion. The second spring leg has a sensor holder and a spring arm with a press-on tab, a spring force is exerted by way of the spring arm such that a sensor arranged in the sensor holder is fixed in the sensor holder by way of the press-on tab, and the sensor holder is pressed onto the electrical conductor.

  • Patent number: 10886822
    Abstract: Various embodiments include an isolation ring for isolating the end windings of a stator of an electrical machine, the isolation ring comprising: a protrusion with a conductor guide for receiving a conductor, wherein the protrusion comprises: a pressing flap with an inner guiding surface; and a pocket with a temperature sensor arranged in the pocket. The inner guiding surface faces the pocket. The pressing flap and the pocket are arranged so an end of the conductor inserted in the conductor guide is guided between the inner guiding surface and the temperature sensor, and the end is pressed against and/or guided to the temperature sensor.

  • Publication number: 20110244299
    Abstract: An energy store (ESP1) for storing electrical energy, particularly for a motor vehicle, has the following characteristics. The energy store has at least one flat cell (Z1, Z2) having a flat cell body (ZK), which is bounded by two base surfaces (G11, G12, G21, G22), which extend parallel to a cell body plane, and by a first (ZB) and several second (ZD) side surfaces, which extend perpendicularly to the cell body plane (ZE) and connect the base surfaces. Furthermore, a cooling device having a cooling element (KF) is provided, wherein the cooling element is thermally coupled with the first side surface (ZB) in order to dissipate heat from the flat cell through the side surface. For improved heat removal, the cooling device also has a cooling plate (KB), which is thermally coupled with one of the base surfaces (G12, G21) of the at least one flat cell.
