  • Publication number: 20230402699
    Abstract: A battery device for a motor vehicle powered at least semi-electrically, with a cooling device having a coolant circuit for direct cooling of battery cells and with a battery housing having a housing space for receiving the battery cells. The housing space provides a portion of the coolant circuit, such that a coolant can directly flow around the battery cells. The cooling device includes a terminal device arranged on the battery housing, via which the coolant can be introduced into the battery housing or discharged out of the battery housing. The terminal device provides a degassing opening for the battery housing. In case of a overpressure in the housing space, the degassing opening opens via at least one breaking device.

  • Publication number: 20230261343
    Abstract: A battery cell includes a housing, an electrode stack assembly, at least one terminal assembly, and at least two counter-elements associated with the terminal assembly. The electrode stack assembly is arranged in the housing and includes first electrode assemblies and second electrode assemblies. The terminal assembly includes a base part, two terminal elements, and at least two arms, which arms respectively extend between the base part and one of the terminal elements and are configured so as to apply a first force on the terminal elements in the direction of the associated counter-elements. First strip elements or second strip elements are arranged between at least one of the terminal elements and at least one of the counter-elements. The base part forms a connecting element for electrically contacting the battery cell, which connecting element can be contacted from the outside, and which base part is electrically connected to the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 8294562
    Abstract: A display device for a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine for at least temporarily driving the motor vehicle, and for displaying operating-time-related data of the internal combustion engine. The display device is characterized in that the operating-time-related data are provided as portions of the operation of the motor vehicle with a switched-off internal combustion engine at entities (E, E?, E?, . . . ) occurring earlier on the route of the motor vehicle. The display device is configured to display these data in the manner of a histogram.

  • Patent number: 8240413
    Abstract: A method and a device control a hybrid vehicle drive. The device contains a multiplicity of control parameter sets having different recovery torques for a conversion control device which sets a recovery torque of the electric motor in an overrun phase, which recovery torques are assigned a respective driving mode indicator. A definition device is provided for defining a current driving mode indicator, as a result of which a control parameter set corresponding to the defined current driving mode indicator can be used to control the conversion control device in an overrun phase of the hybrid vehicle drive.

  • Patent number: 7806801
    Abstract: A drivetrain of a motor vehicle has an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, a transmission, and a torque converter with a converter bypass clutch. The drivetrain is controlled such that, during an electric operating mode in which the internal combustion engine is deactivated and the electric motor is activated, and/or during a recuperation operating mode in which the internal combustion engine is deactivated and the electric motor is operated as a generator, the converter bypass clutch is permanently closed, at least between shift processes of the transmission, in order to bypass the torque converter.

  • Patent number: 7654932
    Abstract: A method operates a drive train the is formed of an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, a transmission and a first clutch that connects the internal combustion engine to the electric motor. During an operating state for applying a current requested torque to a transmission input with the electric motor switched on and the internal combustion engine switched off, the internal combustion engine is connected into the circuit by increasing the torque applied to the drive train by the electric motor before the internal combustion engine starts, in such a way that only the current requested torque is applied to the transmission input. Excess torque is extracted from the drive train by actuating the first clutch and applying the excess torque to the internal combustion engine in order to accelerate it. The internal combustion engine is started when its starting state is reached.
