Definitions
- the invention is based on a battery system according to the preamble of
- Such battery systems are used in particular to supply power to a vehicle and / or to a consumer in the vehicle.
- the vehicle can be a motor vehicle, a pedelec, an e-bike, an electric scooter, an LEV (Light Electric Vehicle) or the like.
- the battery system can be a battery pack with an electrical voltage of 36 V or 48 V.
- Such a battery system for supplying energy to an electrical consumer has a housing. At least one battery and / or accumulator cell is located in the housing.
- the housing has a wall. It has been found to be disadvantageous that the battery and / or accumulator cell has a play in relation to the wall due to manufacturing and / or assembly tolerances. Furthermore, this game can change due to the aging of the battery and / or accumulator cell. This play can then in turn lead to impairment of the battery system, especially during its service life.
- the invention is based on the object of further developing the battery system in such a way that the game is reduced.
- the operational and / or functional reliability of the battery system is to be improved.
- this object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
- a tensioning element is arranged between the wall and the battery and / or accumulator cell adjacent to the wall.
- This arrangement is designed, in particular, in such a way that an adjustable tensioning force can be exerted on the battery and / or accumulator cell.
- the play for the battery and / or accumulator cell is thereby advantageously reduced, so that adverse effects on the battery system are largely avoided. Further refinements of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
- the battery cell and / or accumulator cell adjacent to the wall can be arranged at a distance from the wall in the housing, such that a
- Gap is formed between the wall and the battery and / or accumulator cell.
- the clamping element can then in a simple manner
- the battery cell and / or accumulator cell can have a prismatic shape which has a longitudinal side and a transverse side in a cost-effective manner.
- the tensioning element can expediently be arranged on the longitudinal side of the battery and / or accumulator cell adjacent to the wall.
- the tensioning element can comprise two wedge-shaped elements, each with a base and an inclined surface.
- the two wedge-shaped elements can be arranged on their inclined surfaces lying against one another or in opposite directions.
- one wedge-shaped element can rest with its base on the wall and the other wedge-shaped element with its base on the battery and / or accumulator cell adjacent to the wall.
- the two wedge-shaped elements can be arranged fixed to one another in a functionally reliable manner.
- the distance between the battery and / or accumulator cell adjacent to the wall and the wall can thereby be kept essentially constant during the service life of the battery and / or accumulator cell.
- the tension force exerted on the battery and / or accumulator cell increases when the battery and / or accumulator cell increases during its service life.
- At least one screw can be provided for fixing the two wedge-shaped elements.
- the screw can pass through a holder in the one wedge-shaped element in a simple manner.
- the screw can be screwed with a threaded receptacle in the other wedge-shaped element.
- the cells In order for prismatic battery cells to work optimally and to make the best possible use of their service life, the cells should be preloaded with a certain force over the long side. These cells bulge due to charging and / or discharging processes and due to the aging of the cells. At the end of the service life, the pre-tensioning force is up to ten times higher than when it was installed.
- This preload force should be absorbed by a structural element, e.g. the battery housing.
- the manufacturing tolerances of the cells, the housing and / or other elements are contrary to a cost-efficient manufacturing and / or assembly.
- the manufacturing tolerances should be maintained and compensated, the pretensioning force should be absorbed and at the same time these requirements should not make the assembly difficult.
- the invention thus realizes an inexpensive and easy-to-assemble battery system. Furthermore, no individual parts need to be measured and / or adjusted when assembling the battery system. So can it
- Battery system can be assembled in series assembly regardless of individual tolerances and does not have to be manufactured. Finally, in an advantageous manner
- Pre-tensioning force can be set individually according to the respective charge state of the cells and / or the manufacturing tolerances of the components.
- FIG. 1 shows a battery system with a housing and a clamping element in
- FIG. 2 shows the battery system from FIG. 1, the housing being omitted.
- FIG. 3 shows a section along the line 3-3 in FIG. 1,
- Fig. 4 is a section along the line 4-4 in Fig. 1,
- FIG. 5 shows the clamping element as an individual part from direction V in FIG. 2,
- FIG. 6 shows the clamping element from the opposite direction to FIG. 5 and
- the battery system 1 shows a battery system 1 for a motor vehicle, the battery system 1 serving to supply energy to an electrical consumer in the motor vehicle.
- the battery system 1 has a housing 2, in which the cover is removed in FIG. 1 so that the interior of the housing 2 is visible.
- the housing 2 is approximately cuboid and has a wall 3. More precisely, the housing 2 has two side walls 3, 3 'arranged parallel to one another and two longitudinal walls 4, 4' which are approximately perpendicular to the side walls 3, 3 'and are arranged parallel to one another, as well as a base 5 and the cover, not shown further.
- Inside the housing 2 there is at least one battery and / or accumulator cell 6.
- a plurality of battery and / or accumulator cells 6, 6 ′ are located in the housing 2, which are parallel to one another according to the desired electrical voltage and / or capacity of the battery system 1 and / or are connected in series.
- the battery and / or accumulator cells 6, 6 ′ have a prismatic and / or cuboid shape, which has a longitudinal side 7 and a transverse side 8.
- a plurality of battery and / or accumulator cells 6, 6 ′ are arranged on the longitudinal sides 7 lying against one another and lying next to one another in the manner of a cell stack 9.
- the cell stack 9 is arranged in a fixed manner in the housing 2. For this purpose, according to FIG. 1, a
- Clamping element 10 is arranged between one wall 3 and the battery and / or accumulator cell 6 of the cell stack 9 adjacent to the wall 3. With the help of the clamping element 10, a clamping force F (see FIG. 7) can be exerted on the battery and / or accumulator cell 6 and thereby also on the further battery and / or accumulator cells 6 'or the cell stack 9, the clamping force F being adjustable in particular is.
- the battery and / or accumulator cell 6 adjacent to the wall 3 is expediently arranged at a distance d from the wall 3 in the housing 2, as shown in FIG. As a result, an intermediate space 11 is formed between the wall 3 and the battery and / or accumulator cell 6.
- the clamping element 10 is then arranged in this intermediate space 11, namely the clamping element 10 is arranged on the longitudinal side 7 of the battery and / or accumulator cell 6 adjacent to the wall 3.
- the clamping element 10 comprises two wedge-shaped elements 10 ', 10 ".
- the wedge-shaped elements 10', 10" each have a base surface 12 and an inclined surface 13.
- the two wedge-shaped elements 10 ', 10 "are one wedge-shaped element 10 ′ rests with its base 12 on the wall 3.
- the other wedge-shaped element 10 ′′ has its base 12 on the battery and / or battery adjacent to the wall 3

- the two wedge-shaped elements 10 ', 10 are fixed to one another.
- the wedge-shaped elements 10', 10" are arranged so fixed to one another that the distance d between the battery adjacent to the wall 3 - and / or accumulator cell 6 and the wall 3 is essentially constant during the life of the battery and / or accumulator cell 6, 6 '.
- the tensioning force F exerted on the battery and / or accumulator cell 6 by the tensioning element 10 increases when the battery and / or accumulator cell 6, 6 'during its service life, for example in the direction the transverse page 8, enlarged.
- the battery system 1 is effectively prevented from being impaired during its service life.
- the fixation for the clamping element 10 can be seen in more detail in FIG.
- At least one screw 15 is provided for fixing the two wedge-shaped elements 10 ', 10 ".
- the screw 15 penetrates a holder 16 in the one wedge-shaped element 10'.
