  • Publication number: 20250118840
    Abstract: The invention relates to a battery sub-module (11) for a motor vehicle, the sub-module comprising two battery cells in pouch form and a carrier frame (33), each battery cell comprising two electrodes (37, 38; 39, 40), each electrode (37, 38, 39, 40) protruding from the carrier frame (33), a first electrode (37) of the first battery cell being such that, outside the carrier frame (33), it faces a first electrode (39) of the second battery cell and is connected to said first electrode (39) by a welded connection, the second electrode (38) of the first battery cell being such that, outside the carrier frame (33), it faces a second electrode (40) of the second battery cell and is connected to said second electrode (40) by a welded connection. The invention also relates to a battery module for a motor vehicle, the module comprising a plurality of battery sub-modules of the aforementioned type.

  • Patent number: 12170380
    Abstract: A battery module includes a row of battery cells arranged parallel to each other, aligned along a longitudinal axis, and arranged at a distance from each other so that adjacent battery cells define a gap allowing a temperature control fluid to pass therethrough. A holding device includes a main body, a plurality of spacers and retaining means. Each spacer includes a mounting foot and a separator plate integrally formed with the mounting foot. The separator plate is arranged in the gap and configured to separate a first pass and a second pass of the temperature control fluid. The mounting feet are slidably mounted parallel to the longitudinal axis, defining a sliding connection. The retaining means includes axial clamping means which axially compresses an axial stop of the retaining means against a battery cell located at an axial end of the row of battery cells.

  • Patent number: 11454197
    Abstract: A system for injecting an aqueous solution into an injection engine, includes: a tank for an aqueous solution, a circuit for supplying aqueous solution to the tank and a filter for filtering the aqueous solution, and a circuit for recirculating the aqueous solution. The injection system also includes recirculation of the aqueous solution, and is provided with an electrovalve including a first inlet connected to a filler neck of the tank, a second inlet connected to the recirculation circuit, and an outlet connected to the supply circuit. The filtration filter is arranged in the supply circuit and/or in the recirculation circuit.

  • Patent number: 10654355
    Abstract: A filling nozzle of a fuel tank including a receiving pipe and a liquid-vapor separator, includes a hollow body communicating with an intake pipe for a stream of vapors from the fuel tank, an emptying pipe flowing into the receiving pipe, and a vapor outlet pipe. The hollow body includes a separation mechanism extracting droplets and including at least one wall movable between first and second configurations. In the first configuration the movable wall forms, together with walls of the hollow body, a maze in which stream of vapors passing from the intake pipe towards the outlet pipe is forced to circulate. In the second configuration the movable wall allows the stream of vapors to pass from the intake pipe to the outlet pipe following a path that avoids all or part of the path travelled by the vapors when the movable walls are in the first configuration.
