  • Publication number: 20250210778
    Abstract: Disclosed is a battery, for an electric or hybrid vehicle, comprising: a casing defining a housing that extends in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, a plurality of cross-members attached to the casing and extending in the transverse direction between a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of the casing, and a plurality of assemblies comprising electrochemical cells that extend successively in the transverse direction and are secured to one another, the cross-members and the assemblies being arranged successively against one other in the longitudinal direction in the housing so that there is no mechanical clearance between the cross-members and the assemblies, the assemblies and/or cross-members being attached to the casing.

  • Publication number: 20250210777
    Abstract: Disclosed is a battery for an electric or hybrid vehicle, comprising: a casing defining a housing that extends in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, the housing having a first lateral edge, a plurality of transverse cross-members, a plurality of assemblies comprising electrochemical cells, the cross-members and the assemblies being arranged successively in the longitudinal direction in the housing, a plurality of corner members for transmitting transverse forces between the cross-members and the housing, at least some of the corner members having a first portion that extends perpendicular to the transverse direction and is attached to a transverse end of at least some of the cross-members, and a second portion that extends transversely from the first portion and is attached to the first lateral edge; the assemblies, the first portion, and the first lateral edge at least partially define a longitudinally extending housing.

  • Patent number: 11931793
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an inlet lip skin part according to a nominal definition comprising dimensions of the lip skin and associated tolerances, the method comprising the steps of: a) obtaining at least one blank from at least one metal sheet; b) deforming the at least one blank into an intermediate part; and c) machining a first surface of the intermediate part with a first machining path, said first machining path being independent of the real dimensions of the intermediate part, and being based on the nominal definition of the lip skin part, so as to obtain a semi-machined part, and d) machining a second surface of the semi-machined part with a second machining path, said second machining path being based on real dimensions of the semi-machined part and the nominal definition of the lip skin part.
