20110052947 | DEGASSING SYSTEM FOR AN ACCUMULATOR, AND ACCUMULATOR COMPRISING A DEGASSING SYSTEM - A degassing system for an accumulator includes a corso with a degassing opening, a pin that is arranged in the corso, at least one flap that is mounted such that it can rotate around the pin, a spring that is arranged to exert a torque on the at least one flap, and a seal that is arranged such that the at least one flap rests on the seal in a rest position and closes the degassing opening. | 03-03-2011 |
20110056758 | ELECTROCHEMICAL ACCUMULATOR AND VEHICLE COMPRISING AN ELECTROCHEMICAL ACCUMULATOR - An electrochemical accumulator includes a plurality of electrochemical cells, each of which has a casing. The accumulator also includes a cover, a housing which is closed by the cover, an electrolyte in the housing, and at least one connecting pole for making electrical contact with the accumulator, where the connecting pole is electrically connected to a group of the electrochemical cells. The accumulator also includes a cooling air area for holding cooling air for cooling the cells and a degassing area for holding a gas which emerges from the cells in the event of a defect. The cooling air area and the degassing area are separated from one another in a gas-tight manner and the cooling air area and the degassing area are passed out of the housing independently of one another. The cooling air area has channels which are guided on the casings of the cells outside the cells. | 03-10-2011 |
20110079494 | BATTERY FOR HYBRID VEHICLES WITH A SAFETY DEVICE FOR INTERRUPTING A HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT - A rechargeable battery includes a housing and a plurality of electrochemical cells that are electrically connected to one another and form a high-voltage circuit. A high-voltage socket on the housing comprises two electrical poles, and the high-voltage socket is configured to be connected to a high-voltage plug. A catch on the high-voltage socket is configured to interact with a locking element on the high-voltage plug for locking the high-voltage plug to the high-voltage socket. A low-voltage circuit includes an integrated contactor for interrupting and closing the high-voltage circuit. A service plug connector is used for closing and disconnecting the low-voltage circuit; the service plug connector interacts with the high-voltage plug such that the high-voltage plug cannot be withdrawn from the high-voltage socket until the service plug connector has been removed from the rechargeable battery, and is configured to block the locking element on the high-voltage plug of the rechargeable battery. | 04-07-2011 |
