  • Patent number: 11870224
    Abstract: A high-voltage junction box for an electrically driven vehicle includes a housing part with at least one mounting hole, a contactor mechanically connected to the housing part by at least one fastening element extending through a through hole in the contactor into the mounting hole, and a bus bar having a first contact area and a second contact area. The first contact area is electrically and mechanically connected to the contactor and the second contact area is electrically and mechanically connected to a connector. A tolerance compensation element suitable to compensate for tolerance variations in a distance or space between the housing part and the contactor is mounted in the at least one mounting hole. An electrically driven vehicle with a charging unit including a high-voltage junction box is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11581668
    Abstract: A battery connection device for connecting to a vehicle battery includes a top member, a bottom member having a side wall and a bottom wall. The side wall, top member, and bottom member form a box-like enclosure. The bottom wall includes a through-hole with a circumferential face, an adapter member arranged inside the box-like enclosure extends at least partially through the through-hole for connection with the battery. A dimension of the adapter member is smaller than a dimension of the through-hole to form a gap between an outer face of the adapter member facing the circumferential face and the circumferential face, and flexible connection member connected to the adapter member and to the bottom member and closing the gap between the outer face and the circumferential face. The flexible connection member includes an electromagnetic shield for shielding electromagnetic radiation and a seal for sealing the gap against dust and/or moisture.

  • Publication number: 20210274689
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a housing and a power electronics circuit disposed on a housing base in the housing. A cavity with connections, which lead to the housing exterior, for supplying and discharging a cooling liquid, is formed at least in the housing base. Cooling fins are formed on that side of the housing base which faces away from the cavity. A fan which is driven by an electric motor is disposed in the housing in such a way that the air flow of the fan is cooled by the cooling fins and then draws heat from the power electronics circuit.

  • Patent number: 11026353
    Abstract: An arrangement has a housing and a power electronics circuit arranged on a housing base in the housing. A cavity with connections, which lead to the housing exterior, for supplying and discharging a cooling liquid is formed in the housing base. Cooling coils through which the cooling liquid can flow are formed on that side of the housing base which is averted from the cavity. A fan which is driven by an electric motor is arranged in the housing in such a way that the air flow of the fan is cooled by the cooling coils and then draws heat from the power electronics circuit.
