Patent number: 12355109Abstract: A battery system for an electric vehicle includes a fixed cover, and a removable cover arranged over battery modules and a high voltage distribution system. The battery system includes a busbar arranged at least partially over a region of the battery modules and under the removable cover. The busbar includes a fixed section and a movable section, or a hinge, such that the busbar can be repositioned out of the way. The support tray includes a link between the fixed and movable sections. Floating fasteners, allowing at least one of radial float and axial float are used to secure the link to the support tray, thereby avoiding safety hazards and reducing the potential for short circuits in high voltage distribution systems or conductors thereof. The floating fasteners include a head, a neck, an engagement section, and a washer, which prevent removal from a component once installed.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2024Date of Patent: July 8, 2025Assignee: Rivian IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Ehsan Baseri, Kyle Butterfield, Luke Rayment Morrow, Akshay Kishor Murkute, Jonathan Verghese

Publication number: 20240429564Abstract: The present solution is directed to systems and method for electrically disconnecting at least a portion of a battery pack using a busbar. The present solution can include a busbar to electrically couple with a battery pack between two groups of battery cells of the battery pack. The busbar can dispose at an opening of a housing of the battery pack. The busbar can be exposed by an access cover. The busbar can include a jumper connector electrically coupling one body of the busbar electrically coupled with a first group of battery cells of the battery pack with another body of the busbar electrically coupled with a second group of battery cells of the battery pack. The jumper connector can be accessible via the opening under the access cover to allow electrical decoupling of the first or second group of battery cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Verghese, Suraj Shroff
