Description

Batteriemodul Battery module
Technisches Gebiet Technical area
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Batteriemodul mit einem Grundkörper zur Auf nahme einzelner, bezüglich einer Fügeachse parallel angeordneter Batteriezellen, der einen quer zur Fügeachse verlaufenden Strömungskanal für ein die Zellen mäntel der Batteriezellen direkt anströmendes Temperierfluid bildet. The invention relates to a battery module with a base body for receiving individual battery cells arranged in parallel with respect to a joining axis, which forms a flow channel running transversely to the joining axis for a temperature control fluid flowing directly onto the cell jackets of the battery cells.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Batteriemodule bekannt, bei denen die einzelnen Batteriezellen direkt von einem Temperierfluid angeströmt werden From the prior art, battery modules are known in which the individual battery cells are directly exposed to a temperature control fluid
(WO2017067923). Im Falle der Beschädigung einzelner Batteriezellen, insbeson dere im Falle eines thermal runaway besteht allerdings das Problem, dass die Bat teriezellen entlang Ihres Mantels bersten. Aufgrund der direkten Anströmung durch ein Temperierfluid und der unmittelbar benachbarten Batteriezellen inner halb des Fluidströmungskanales wird dabei die Gefahr einer Kettenreaktion noch verstärkt. (WO2017067923). In the event of damage to individual battery cells, especially in the event of thermal runaway, however, there is the problem that the battery cells burst along their casing. Due to the direct flow through a temperature control fluid and the immediately adjacent battery cells within the fluid flow channel, the risk of a chain reaction is increased.
Zur Vermeidung von Kettenreaktionen bei nicht direkt angeströmten Batteriezellen wurde bereits vorgeschlagen (CN108574073A), die einzelnen Zellen mit druckfes ten Flülsen zu umgeben, um ein Bersten im Bereich der Zellenpole zu erzwingen. Nachteilig ist daran allerdings, dass sich durch die Hülsen eine trägere Tempera- turregelung der Batteriezellen ergibt, sodass auf kurzfristige Belastungsspitzen oder thermische Ungleichgewichte im Batteriemodul nicht oder nur zeitverzögert reagiert werden kann, was die Gefahr einer Beschädigung der Batteriezellen ent gegen der Aufgabenstellung erhöht. To avoid chain reactions in the case of battery cells that are not directly exposed to the flow, it has already been proposed (CN108574073A) to enclose the individual cells with pressure-tight sleeves in order to force them to burst in the area of the cell poles. The disadvantage of this, however, is that the sleeves result in slower temperature control of the battery cells, so that short-term load peaks or thermal imbalances in the battery module cannot be responded to or only with a delay, which increases the risk of damage to the battery cells contrary to the task at hand.
Darstellung der Erfindung Ausgehend von einem Batteriemodul der eingangs beschriebenen Art liegt die Aufgabe der Erfindung somit darin, nicht nur die Gefahr thermische Beschädigung einzelner Batteriezellen bei Spitzenbelastungen zu verringern, sondern auch die Ausbreitung einer Kettenreaktion im Fehlerfall eines thermal runaway zu vermei den. Presentation of the invention Starting from a battery module of the type described at the outset, the object of the invention is not only to reduce the risk of thermal damage to individual battery cells during peak loads, but also to avoid the spread of a chain reaction in the event of a thermal runaway failure.
Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, dass dem Strömungskanal in Richtung der Fügeachse je Batteriezelle jeweils eine die Batteriezelle umfangseitig mit Spiel umschließende Berstschutzhülse vor- und nachgelagert ist, wobei sich der Strömungskanal über eine Flöhe von 28 - 60% der Batteriezelle und jede Berstschutzhülse für sich über eine Flöhe von 20 - 36% der Batteriezelle erstre cken. Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, dass das Bersten von zylinderförmi gen Batteriezellen im Bereich des Zellenmantels nicht nur bei einer sich über die gesamte Zellenmantelhöhe erstreckenden Flülse zugunsten einer Ausgasung über die hierfür vorgesehenen polseitigen Ventile verhindert werden kann, sondern auch dann, wenn zwei polseitige Abschnitte von jeweils 20 - 36% der Flöhe der Batteriezelle von einer Berstschutzhülse umschlossen werden. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform können die Berstschutzhülsen jeweils einen Ab schnitt von 28-30% der Flöhe der Batteriezelle umschließen. Es ist dabei nicht er forderlich, dass die Berstschutzhülsen unmittelbar an die Zellenpole anschließen. Obwohl sich zufolge dieser Maßnahme der für einen Strömungskanal eines Tem perierfluides nutzbare Bereich auf eine Flöhe von 28 - 60%, vorzugsweise 40 - 44% der Batteriezelle verringert, kann die verkleinerte direkte Kontaktfläche zwi schen dem Temperierfluid, bei dem es sich beispielsweise um Luft oder eine Flüs sigkeit handeln kann, durch einen höheren Volumenstrom ausgeglichen werden. Darüber hinaus wird das dynamische Regelverhalten verbessert, weil das zu durchströmende Gesamtvolumen verringert wird. Um eine mechanische Überbe stimmung und somit einen Bruch der Abdichtung des Strömungskanals nicht nur in Anbetracht der Fertigungstoleranzen von Batteriezellen, sondern auch im Feh lerfall zu vermeiden, wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass die Berstschutz hülsen die Batteriezellen mit Spiel umschließen, also derart, dass zwischen der Berstschutzhülse und dem Mantel der umschlossenen Batteriezelle ein Luftspalt verbleibt. Die mögliche Ausdehnung der Batteriezelle im Bereich dieses Luftspal- tes begünstigt das mechanische Verhalten im Falle eines thermal runaway, weil unkritische Dehnungen der Batterie möglich bleiben und nicht bereits zu einer Be schädigung der Berstschutzhülsen und in weiterer Folge des gesamten Batte- riemodules führen. The invention solves the problem in that the flow channel in the direction of the joining axis for each battery cell is preceded and followed by a burst protection sleeve that surrounds the battery cell with play, the flow channel extending over a height of 28-60% of the battery cell and each burst protection sleeve for extend over a flea of 20-36% of the battery cell. Surprisingly, it has been shown that the bursting of cylinder-shaped battery cells in the area of the cell jacket can be prevented not only in the case of a sleeve extending over the entire cell jacket height in favor of outgassing via the pole-side valves provided for this purpose, but also when two pole-side sections of each 20 - 36% of the fleas in the battery cell are enclosed in a burst protection sleeve. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the burst protection sleeves can each enclose a section of 28-30% of the fleas in the battery cell. It is not necessary that the burst protection sleeves connect directly to the cell poles. Although this measure reduces the area usable for a flow channel of a temperature control fluid to a level of 28-60%, preferably 40-44% of the battery cell, the reduced direct contact area between the temperature control fluid, which is, for example, air or a liquid can act, can be compensated by a higher volume flow. In addition, the dynamic control behavior is improved because the total volume to be flowed through is reduced. In order to avoid mechanical over-determination and thus a break in the seal of the flow channel not only in view of the manufacturing tolerances of battery cells, but also in the event of an error, it is proposed according to the invention that the burst protection sleeves enclose the battery cells with play, i.e. in such a way that between the Burst protection sleeve and the jacket of the enclosed battery cell remains an air gap. The possible expansion of the battery cell in the area of this air gap tes favors the mechanical behavior in the event of a thermal runaway, because uncritical expansion of the battery remains possible and does not already lead to damage to the burst protection sleeves and subsequently to the entire battery module.
Um die Fertigung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zu erleichtern und eine Ab dichtung des Strömungskanales zu verbessern, wird vorgeschlagen, dass eine Gruppe von Berstschutzhülsen einen vom Grundkörper getrennten Berstschutz bildet. Die Berstschutzhülsen können dabei über eine Stützkonstruktion zu einem Berstschutz verbunden sein oder aber der Berstschutz kann beispielsweise in Form von Durchtrittsöffnungen, die einzelnen Berstschutzhülsen ausbilden, ausge formt sein. Diese Maßnahmen haben den Vorteil, dass die einzelnen Batteriezel len zunächst in den Grundkörper eingesetzt werden können, wobei die Abdichtung des Strömungskanales weder durch eine mechanische Überbelastung noch durch eine Beschädigung von Dichtungen zufolge der Berstschutzhülsen behindert wird. Erst in einem nachfolgenden Schritt können die Berstschutzhülsen als vom In order to facilitate the manufacture of the device according to the invention and to improve a seal from the flow channel, it is proposed that a group of burst protection sleeves form a burst protection which is separate from the base body. The burst protection sleeves can be connected via a support structure to form a burst protection, or the burst protection can, for example, be shaped out in the form of passage openings that form individual burst protection sleeves. These measures have the advantage that the individual battery cells can initially be inserted into the base body, the sealing of the flow channel being hindered neither by mechanical overload nor by damage to seals due to the burst protection sleeves. Only in a subsequent step can the burst protection sleeves as from
Grundkörper getrennter Berstschutz auf die aus dem Grundkörper vorragenden Endabschnitte der Batteriezellen aufgeschoben werden. Base body separate burst protection are pushed onto the end sections of the battery cells protruding from the base body.
Damit die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Luftspalte zwischen den Berstschutz hülsen und den Batteriezellen gleichmäßig ausgebildet werden und im Falle eines vom Grundkörper getrennten Berstschutzes die relative Lage von Grundkörper und Berstschutz zueinander vorgegeben werden kann, können in einer Berst schutzhülse zwei, vorzugsweise drei Zentriernasen zur Ausrichtung der Batterie zelle innerhalb der Berstschutzhülse vorgesehen sein. Solche Zentriernasen bie ten darüber hinaus den Vorteil, dass mechanische Belastungen des Batteriemo- dules bzw. der einzelnen Batteriezellen nicht über etwaige an den Batteriezellen anliegenden Dichtungen des Grundkörpers, sondern über die mechanisch stabile ren Zentriernasen aufgenommen werden können. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn die Berstschutzhülsen einstückig mit dem Grundkörper ausgebildet sind oder, wenn der Berstschutz und der Grundkörper in ihrer relativen Lage zueinan der festgelegt sind. Eine platzsparende Parallelschaltung der einzelnen Batteriezellen unabhängig von ihrer Polkontaktierung kann auf einfache Weise ermöglicht werden, wenn zwi schen dem Grundkörper und den bezüglich der Fügeachse auf einer Seite des Grundkörpers liegenden Berstschutzhülsen ein elektrisch leitendes Parallelblech zum Parallelschalten der Batteriezellen vorgesehen ist. Ein solches Parallelblech, dessen exakte Positionierung entlang der Fügeachse der Batteriezellen je nach Ausführungsform der Erfindung unterschiedlich sein kann, stellt nicht nur den elektrischen Kontakt zur Parallelschaltung der einzelnen Batteriezellen her, son dern erfüllt darüber hinaus noch eine mechanisch stabilisierende Aufgabe. Den noch bleiben zufolge der Luftspalte in den Berstschutzhülsen die einzelnen Batte riezellen im Bereich ihrer Pole quer zur Fügeachse in einem beschränkten Umfang frei beweglich, sodass die Kontaktierung und mechanische Verbindung mehrerer Batteriemodule erleichtert werden kann. So that the air gaps provided according to the invention between the burst protection sleeves and the battery cells are uniformly formed and in the case of a burst protection separated from the base body, the relative position of the base body and burst protection can be specified, two, preferably three centering lugs can be used in a burst protection sleeve to align the battery cell be provided within the burst protection sleeve. Such centering lugs also offer the advantage that mechanical loads on the battery module or the individual battery cells cannot be absorbed via any seals of the base body that are in contact with the battery cells, but rather via the mechanically more stable centering lugs. This is especially the case when the anti-burst sleeves are formed in one piece with the base body or when the anti-burst protection and the base body are fixed in their relative position to one another. A space-saving parallel connection of the individual battery cells regardless of their pole contact can be made possible in a simple manner if an electrically conductive parallel plate is provided for connecting the battery cells in parallel between the base body and the anti-burst sleeves located on one side of the base body with respect to the joint axis. Such a parallel sheet, the exact positioning of which along the joining axis of the battery cells can vary depending on the embodiment of the invention, not only makes the electrical contact for connecting the individual battery cells in parallel, but also fulfills a mechanically stabilizing task. According to the air gaps in the burst protection sleeves, the individual battery cells remain freely movable to a limited extent in the area of their poles across the joining axis, so that the contacting and mechanical connection of several battery modules can be facilitated.
Obwohl die elektrische Kontaktierung der einzelnen Batteriezellen auf unterschied liche Art erfolgen kann, ergeben sich besonders vorteilhafte Bedingungen, wenn das Parallelblech in den Luftspalt wenigstens einer Berstschutzhülse ragende Kontaktzungen zur kraftschlüssigen Kontaktierung der von der Berstschutzhülse umschlossenen Batteriezelle aufweist. Die in den Luftspalt ragenden, federnd ausgebildeten Kontaktzungen werden dabei nicht nur unter Verbesserung der An presskraft und damit der elektrischen Kontaktierung gegen die Berstschutzhülsen abgestützt, sondern ermöglichen gleichzeitig auch eine Ausrichtung der Batterie zellen innerhalb der Berstschutzhülsen, sodass zumindest auf der Seite der Paral lelbleches etwaige Zentriernasen in den Berstschutzhülsen entfallen können. Although the electrical contacting of the individual battery cells can be made in different ways, particularly advantageous conditions result when the parallel plate has contact tongues protruding into the air gap of at least one anti-bursting sleeve for frictional contacting of the battery cell enclosed by the anti-bursting sleeve. The resilient contact tongues protruding into the air gap are not only supported against the burst protection sleeves while improving the contact pressure and thus the electrical contacting, but also enable the battery cells to be aligned within the burst protection sleeves, so that at least on the side of the parallel plate any Centering lugs in the burst protection sleeves can be omitted.
Eine mechanisch flexible Kontaktierung der Batteriezellen, die gleichzeitig eine Ausbreitung eines Einzelbatteriezellenfehlers durch Entgasung verhindert, erhält man, indem man Polaufsätze zur elektrischen Kontaktierung einzelner Batteriezel len vorsieht, die jeweils einen in den Bereich des Batteriezellenpoles einmünden den Heißgaskanal zur Ableitung von aus der Batteriezelle austretendem Heißgas aufweisen. Durch das erfindungsgemäße Zusammenspiel der Berstschutzhülsen und der Polaufsätze wird im Falle eines thermal runaway oder ähnlicher Effekte austretendes Heißgas polseitig, also im Bereich des hierfür vorgesehenen Entga- sungsventiles von der beschädigten Batteriezelle so abgeführt, dass umliegende Batteriezellen im Bereich des Zellenmantels nicht beschädigt werden. Ein Ein strömen von Heißgas in den Strömungskanal wird nämlich nicht nur durch eine etwaige Abdichtung zwischen dem Strömungskanal und den Berstschutzhülsen verhindert, sondern auch dadurch, dass die sich vor dem Entgasen mantelseitig ausdehnende Batteriezelle den Luftspalt zur umliegenden Berstschutzhülse aus füllt und damit abdichtet. Um ein Anströmen von dem Pol der ausgasenden Batte riezelle gegenüberliegenden anschließenden Batteriezellen zu verhindern, kann der Heißgaskanal um etwa 90° gekrümmt ausgebildet sein, dass das Heißgas la teral, das bedeutet quer zur Fügerichtung der Batteriezelle umgelenkt und abgelei tet wird. Mechanically flexible contacting of the battery cells, which at the same time prevents an individual battery cell fault from spreading through degassing, is obtained by providing pole attachments for electrical contacting of individual battery cells, each of which opens into the area of the battery cell pole and the hot gas duct for discharging hot gas emerging from the battery cell exhibit. Due to the interaction of the anti-burst sleeves according to the invention and in the event of a thermal runaway or similar effects, hot gas escaping from the pole attachments is discharged from the damaged battery cell on the pole side, ie in the area of the vent valve provided for this, so that surrounding battery cells in the area of the cell jacket are not damaged. A flow of hot gas into the flow channel is not only prevented by a possible seal between the flow channel and the burst protection sleeves, but also by the fact that the battery cell, which expands on the shell side before degassing, fills the air gap to the surrounding burst protection sleeve and thus seals it. In order to prevent a flow of adjoining battery cells opposite the pole of the outgassing battery cell, the hot gas duct can be curved by about 90 ° so that the hot gas is laterally deflected and diverted transversely to the direction of assembly of the battery cell.
Neben einer Ableitung der großen Heißgasmengen von der beschädigten Batte riezelle weg ist auch ein Abführen dieser Heißgasmengen aus dem Batteriemodul sicherheitsrelevant, zumal etwaige Druckspitzen auch zu einer strukturellen Be schädigung des Batteriemodules führen können. Es wird daher vorgeschlagen, dass die einzelnen Polaufsätze einen gemeinsamen Ableitungskanal bilden, in den die Heißgaskanäle mit ihren den Batteriezellenpolen gegenüberliegenden Endabschnitten einmünden. Zufolge dieser Maßnahmen kann ein sich über alle Polaufsätze erstreckender Ableitungskanal mit vergleichsweise großem Quer schnitt das Auftreten lokaler Druckspitzen verhindern, wobei die einzelnen, in den Ableitungskanal einmündenden Heißgaskanäle geringeren Querschnittes die Ge fahr eines Anströmens von unbeschädigten Batteriezellen reduzieren. Um diese Gefahr weiter zu reduzieren, können die einzelnen Heißgaskanäle gegenüber dem Ableitungskanal mit einem Feuerschutz abgedichtet werden, der im Fehlerfall nur bei einer ausgasenden Batteriezelle druckbedingt durchbrochen wird. In addition to diverting the large amounts of hot gas away from the damaged battery, discharging these amounts of hot gas from the battery module is also relevant to safety, especially since any pressure peaks can also lead to structural damage to the battery module. It is therefore proposed that the individual pole attachments form a common discharge channel into which the hot gas channels open with their end sections opposite the battery cell poles. As a result of these measures, a discharge duct extending over all pole attachments with a comparatively large cross-section can prevent the occurrence of local pressure peaks, with the individual hot gas ducts of smaller cross-section opening into the discharge duct reducing the risk of undamaged battery cells flowing against them. In order to further reduce this risk, the individual hot gas ducts can be sealed off from the discharge duct with fire protection which, in the event of a fault, is only breached due to pressure when a battery cell is degassing.
Die Lagerung der Batteriezellen im Batteriemodul unterliegt aufgrund der Ferti gungstoleranzen und Ausführungen der Batteriezellen gewissen Variationen, wel che durch die Umfassung der Batteriezellen mit Spiel ausgeglichen wird. Dies macht jedoch bei der Polkontaktierung eine mechanisch flexible Verbindung seriell geschalteter Batteriezellen notwendig. Diese kann realisiert werden, indem die Po laufsätze je zwei Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme zweier seriell zu kontaktierender Batteriezellen aufweisen. Hierbei kann, selbst wenn es zu Relativbewegungen der Batteriezellen relativ zum Batteriemodul und zum Stack kommt, eine konstante elektrische Verbindung gewährleistet bleiben, da bei einer Neigung der Batterie zellen im Luftspalt der Berstschutzhülse der Kontakt durch die Polaufsätze erhal ten bleibt. The storage of the battery cells in the battery module is subject to certain variations due to the manufacturing tolerances and designs of the battery cells, which is compensated for by the enclosure of the battery cells with play. However, this makes a mechanically flexible connection in series with the pole contact switched battery cells are necessary. This can be achieved in that the Po trays each have two recesses for receiving two battery cells to be contacted in series. Here, even if there is relative movement of the battery cells relative to the battery module and the stack, a constant electrical connection can be guaranteed, since if the battery cells incline in the air gap of the burst protection sleeve, the contact through the pole attachments remains.
Das Zusammenfügen der Berstschutzhülsen mit den Polaufsätzen lässt sich zu verlässiger ausführen, wenn die Berstschutzhülsen Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme der Polaufsätze ausbilden. Hierdurch wird nicht nur die mechanische Stabilität des Batteriemoduls erhöht, sondern einer Lösung der elektrischen Verbindung zwi schen zwei seriell geschalteten Batteriezellen, hervorgerufen durch Relativbewe gungen, vorgebeugt. The assembly of the burst protection sleeves with the pole attachments can be carried out more reliably if the burst protection sleeves form recesses for receiving the pole attachments. This not only increases the mechanical stability of the battery module, but also prevents the electrical connection between two serially connected battery cells, caused by relative movements.

Wege zur Ausführung der Erfindung Ways of Carrying Out the Invention
Ein erfindungsgemäßes Batteriemodul umfasst einen Grundkörper 1 , der bezüg lich je einer Fügeachse 2 gegenüberliegende Durchtrittsöffnungen 3 aufweist, die von einzelnen, bezüglich der Fügeachse 2 parallel angeordneten Batteriezellen 4 durchsetzt werden. Der Grundkörper 1 ist im Bereich der Durchtrittsöffnungen 3 gegenüber den Batteriezellen 4 über 0 - Ringe 5 abgedichtet, sodass sich ein ge schlossener Strömungskanal 6 ausbildet, innerhalb dessen die Zellenmäntel der Batteriezellen 4 direkt, d.h. unmittelbar von einem Temperierfluid angeströmt wer den können. A battery module according to the invention comprises a base body 1, which has opposite passage openings 3 with respect to each joining axis 2, through which individual battery cells 4 arranged in parallel with respect to the joining axis 2. The base body 1 is sealed in the area of the passage openings 3 from the battery cells 4 by means of O-rings 5, so that a closed flow channel 6 is formed, within which the cell jackets of the Battery cells 4 directly, that is, a temperature control fluid flows directly against whoever can.
Bezüglich der Fügeachse 2 schließen an den Grundkörper 1 , dessen Strömungs kanal 6 sich über eine Höhe von 28 - 60% der Höhe der Batteriezellen 4, vor zugsweise und wie in der Fig. 2 dargestellt über eine Höhe von 40 - 44% der der Höhe der Batteriezellen 4 erstreckt, beidseits Berstschutzhülsen 7, 8 an. Diese Berstschutzhülsen 7, 8 erstrecken sich über eine Höhe von 20 - 36% der Höhe der Batteriezellen 4, vorzugsweise über eine Höhe von 28-30% der Höhe der Bat teriezellen 4. Obwohl dies nicht zwingend erforderlich ist, erstrecken sich die Berstschutzhülsen 7 bezüglich der Fügeachse 2 vom Grundkörper 1 bis zu den Zellenpolen 9. Zwischen den Berstschutzhülsen 7, 8 und den Batteriezellen 4 bil det sich in einem normalen Betriebszustand je ein Luftspalt 10 aus, der eine ge ringfügige Ausdehnung der Batteriezellen 4 im normalen Betrieb ermöglicht. With regard to the joining axis 2 close to the base body 1, the flow channel 6 extends over a height of 28-60% of the height of the battery cells 4, preferably and as shown in FIG. 2 over a height of 40-44% of the height of the battery cells 4 extends, burst protection sleeves 7, 8 on both sides. These burst protection sleeves 7, 8 extend over a height of 20-36% of the height of the battery cells 4, preferably over a height of 28-30% of the height of the battery cells 4. Although this is not absolutely necessary, the burst protection sleeves 7 extend with respect to the joining axis 2 from the base body 1 to the cell poles 9. Between the burst protection sleeves 7, 8 and the battery cells 4 bil det in a normal operating state ever from an air gap 10, which allows a slight expansion of the battery cells 4 in normal operation.
Um die Batteriezellen 4 trotz dieses Luftspaltes 10 gegenüber den Berstschutzhül sen 7, 8 in einer definierten Lage ausrichten zu können, können je Berstschutzhül se 7, 8 zwei, vorzugsweise drei Zentriernasen 1 1 vorgesehen sein. In order to be able to align the battery cells 4 in a defined position with respect to the burst protection sleeves 7, 8 in spite of this air gap 10, two, preferably three centering lugs 1 1 can be provided for each burst protection sleeve 7, 8.
Besonders günstige Konstruktionsbedingungen ergeben sich, wenn wenigstens eine Gruppe der Berstschutzhülsen 7, 8 einen gemeinsamen Berstschutz 12 bil den, der gegenüber dem Grundkörper 1 als getrenntes Bauelement ausgeführt ist. Particularly favorable construction conditions arise when at least one group of the burst protection sleeves 7, 8 bil the burst protection 12, which is designed as a separate component from the base body 1.
Um bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform eine besonders platzsparende parallele Kontaktierung der Batteriezellen vornehmen zu können, kann ein Parallelblech 13 vorgesehen sein, das zwischen dem Grundkörper 1 und wenigstens einer der Berstschutze 12 vorgesehen ist. Zur elektrischen Kontaktierung der Batteriezellen 4 mit dem Parallelblech 13 und zur Zentrierung der Batteriezellen 4 innerhalb der Berstschutzhülsen 8 kann das Parallelblech 13 Kontaktzungen 14 zur kraftschlüs sigen Kontaktierung aufweisen. Dadurch können die Zentriernasen 1 1 bei den Berstschutzhülsen 8 wie oben erläutert entfallen. Die sich zufolge der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung ergebende Lagerung der Batteriezellen 4 ermöglicht eine quer zur Fügeachse 2 beschränkt freie Beweg lichkeit der Zellenpole 9. Um diesen Vorteil im Rahmen mehrerer, in Serie ge schalteter Batteriemodule nützen zu können, werden Polaufsätze 15 vorgeschla- gen, die jeweils zwei Ausnehmungen 16 zur Aufnahme zweier seriell zu kontaktie render Batteriezellen 4 aufweisen. In order to be able to make parallel contacting of the battery cells in a particularly space-saving manner in the embodiment shown, a parallel plate 13 can be provided, which is provided between the base body 1 and at least one of the burst protectors 12. To make electrical contact between the battery cells 4 and the parallel plate 13 and to center the battery cells 4 within the burst protection sleeves 8, the parallel plate 13 can have contact tongues 14 for non-positive contacting. As a result, the centering lugs 11 can be omitted in the burst protection sleeves 8, as explained above. The storage of the battery cells 4 resulting from the configuration according to the invention enables the cell poles 9 to move freely transversely to a limited extent to the joining axis 2. In order to be able to use this advantage in the context of several battery modules connected in series, pole attachments 15 are proposed, each of which have two recesses 16 for receiving two battery cells 4 to be contacted serially.
Diese Polausätze 15 können zur Ableitung von aus einem im Bereich der Zellen pole 9 liegenden Ausgasungsventil austretenden Heißgas Heißgaskanäle 17 auf weisen, die in einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform in einen gemeinsa- men Ableitungskanal 18 münden. These pole sets 15 can have hot gas ducts 17 emerging from an outgassing valve located in the area of the cell poles 9, which ducts open into a common discharge duct 18 in a particularly preferred embodiment.
Um eine Vorausrichtung der Polaufsätze 15 gegenüber den Berstschutzhülsen 7, 8 vornehmen zu können, können die Berstschutzhülsen 7, 8 Ausnehmungen 19 zur Aufnahme der Polaufsätze 15 aufweisen. In order to be able to pre-align the pole attachments 15 with respect to the burst protection sleeves 7, 8, the burst protection sleeves 7, 8 can have recesses 19 for receiving the pole attachments 15.
