La presente invención se refiere a una batería que comprende una pluralidad de celdas recargables dispuestas en matriz de gran fiabilidad y a un procedimiento de fabricación de dicha batería, que garantiza una gran fiabilidad en las conexiones. The present invention relates to a battery comprising a plurality of rechargeable cells arranged in a highly reliable matrix and to a method of manufacturing said battery, which guarantees high reliability in the connections.
Son conocidas las baterías que comprenden una pluralidad de celdas recargables dispuestas en matriz, que comprende al menos una placa de conexiones entre terminales dispuesta en una cara de la batería y provista de pistas de conexión, estando los terminales conectados mediante cables, hilos o cintas de aleación conductora eléctrica y por soldadura a dichas pistas de conexión, estando la placa de conexiones provista de aberturas para el acceso a dichos terminales a través de la placa de conexiones.

Es un ejemplo de este tipo de baterías el que se describe en US2008152993. Concretamente, este documento se describe el concepto de conexión por un único lado mediante una placa. An example of this type of batteries is described in US2008152993. Specifically, this document describes the concept of connection by a single side by means of a plate.
En US20110097618 Se describe una placa de conexión conector dispuesta en un único la do de la batería, sobre la cual hay dispuesta una PCB (placa de circuito impreso) de control.

US20100136392A1 describes a PCB battery control board that includes sensors, battery control devices and the necessary connections for control.
Por otro lado, cada vez es más habitual incorporar en las baterías sistemas de equilibrado de las celdas, que funcionan a partir de señales provenientes de sensores de corriente y tensión, eventualmente de la temperatura, de cada una de las celdas. On the other hand, it is increasingly common to incorporate cell balancing systems into batteries, which operate from signals from current and voltage sensors, possibly temperature, from each of the cells.
Las conexiones de potencia, de monitorización y control de las celdas y de reequilibrado son muy numerosas, y muy especialmente cuando se trata de baterías de alto voltaje que pueden incluir cientos de celdas, en cuyo caso pueden ser varios miles. Si además se quiere proporcionar redundancia, el número de conexiones se dobla. The power connections, monitoring and control of the cells and rebalancing are very numerous, and especially when it comes to high voltage batteries that can include hundreds of cells, in which case they can be several thousand. If you also want to provide redundancy, the number of connections doubles.
Y es sabido que para que las baterías funcionen de forma óptima y su vida útil se alargue al máximo, es preciso que estas conexiones sean de alta calidad y fiabilidad. And it is known that for the batteries to function optimally and their lifespan to be maximized, it is necessary that these connections be of high quality and reliability.
Todo ello supone problemas técnicos con las soluciones actuales: All this involves technical problems with the current solutions:

- --
- Cualquier cambio supone una complicación, por lo que es difícil escalar los Any change is a complication, so it is difficult to scale the
procedimientos de conexión; connection procedures;
La presente invención tiene por objeto dar una solución a las mencionadas carencias del estado de la técnica mediante un a batería que comprende una pluralidad de celdas recargables dispuestas en matriz, que comprende al menos una placa de conexiones entre terminales dispuesta en una cara de la batería y provista de pistas de conexión, estando los terminales conectados mediante cables, hilos o cintas de aleación conductora eléctrica y por soldadura a dichas pistas de conexión, estando la placa de conexiones provista de aberturas para el acceso a dichos terminales a través de la placa de conexiones, que se caracteriza por el hecho de que: The object of the present invention is to provide a solution to the aforementioned shortcomings of the state of the art by means of a battery comprising a plurality of rechargeable cells arranged in a matrix, comprising at least one interconnection terminal plate disposed on a battery face and provided with connection tracks, the terminals being connected by cables, wires or tapes of electrically conductive alloy and by welding to said connection tracks, the connection plate being provided with openings for access to said terminals through the plate connections, characterized by the fact that:
