Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse zur Aufnahme einer Energiespeicherzelle mit einer flexiblen Hülle.The invention relates to a housing for receiving an energy storage cell with a flexible shell.

Hybrid- und Elektrofahrzeuge benötigen große Mengen elektrischer Energie, um eine elektrische Maschine betreiben zu können. Als Energiespeicher werden hierbei vorzugsweise Nickel -Metallhydrid- oder Lithium- Ionen-Zellen eingesetzt. Eine Möglichkeit der Ausführung bei Lithium-Ionen-Zellen besteht in Form eines prismatischen Softpacks . Die Zelle ist umschlossen von einer flexiblen Hülle. Insbesondere Aluminiumverbundfolie kommt als Material für die flexible Hülle zum Einsatz. Die Hülle ist um den Bereich der Kathoden-, Separator-, Anodenschichten sowie der inneren Zellabieiter umlaufend verschweißt. An die inneren Zellableiter erfolgt die Nietung der äußeren metallischen Stromableiter. Die äußeren metallischen Stromableiter sind beispielsweise aus Kupfer.Hybrid and electric vehicles require large amounts of electrical energy to operate an electric machine. As energy storage here preferably nickel-metal hydride or lithium ion cells are used. One option for lithium ion cell design is in the form of a prismatic softpack. The cell is enclosed by a flexible shell. In particular, aluminum composite film is used as the material for the flexible shell. The sheath is circumferentially welded around the area of the cathode, separator, anode layers and the inner Zellabieiter. At the inner cell arrester, the riveting of the outer metallic current conductor takes place. The outer metallic current conductors are made of copper, for example.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Verbesserung der Steifigkeit einer Energiespeicherzelle mit einer flexiblen Hülle.Object of the present invention is to improve the rigidity of an energy storage cell with a flexible shell.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Gehäuse mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sind aus den Unteransprüchen, wobei auch Kombinationen und Weiterbildungen einzelner Merkmale miteinander denkbar sind. Das Gehäuse zur Aufnahme der Energiespeicherzelle mit einer flexiblen Hülle besteht aus einem Material mit gegenüber der Hülle höherer Steifigkeit. Als Material für das Gehäuse ist vorzugsweise Kunststoff zu verwenden. Es kann aber auch Metall verwendet werden. In diesem Fall ist für eine ausreichende elektrische Isolierung zwischen den Stromableitern und dem Metallgehäuse Sorge zu tragen. Das Gehäuse weist auf einer Flächenseite eine Fensteröffnung auf. Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, dass die dynamisch arbeitende Energiespeicherzelle die Möglichkeit hat, zu „atmen", wenn sie im Gehäuse angeordnet ist. Unter „Atmen" versteht man Volumenvergrößerungen und -Verkleinerungen des Inneren der Energiespeicherzelle und damit einhergehende Bewegungen der flexiblen Hülle. Das Gehäuse weist zwei Öffnungen auf, durch welche die Stromableiter der Energiespeicherzelle abgeleitet werden. Die elektrische Kontaktierung eines jeden Stromableiters erfolgt außerhalb des Gehäuses .The object is achieved by a housing having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, wherein combinations and developments of individual features are conceivable with each other. The housing for receiving the energy storage cell with a flexible shell is made of a material with respect to the shell of higher rigidity. As the material for the housing is preferably to use plastic. But it can also be used metal. In this case, ensure sufficient electrical insulation between the current conductors and the metal housing. The housing has a window opening on one surface side. This ensures that the dynamically operating energy storage cell has the ability to "breathe" when placed in the housing. "Breathing" refers to volume increases and decreases in the interior of the energy storage cell and concomitant movements of the flexible envelope. The housing has two openings through which the current conductors of the energy storage cell are derived. The electrical contacting of each current arrester takes place outside the housing.

Der Vorteil eines solchen Gehäuses liegt in der erhöhten mechanischen Stabilität einer einzelnen Energiespeicherzelle. Die Energiespeicherzelle liegt im Gehäuse als steckbares Modul vor. Durch die Anordnung der Energiespeicherzelle im Gehäuse kann sie als kompakte Einheit positioniert und beispielsweise in einem Energiespeicher befestigt werden. Mehrere Energiespeicherzellen mit Gehäuse lassen sich gut nebeneinander oder aufeinander anordnen. Kräfte, die auf die Stromableiter wirken, werden teilweise vom Gehäuse aufgenommen .The advantage of such a housing is the increased mechanical stability of a single energy storage cell. The energy storage cell is in the housing as a pluggable module. The arrangement of the energy storage cell in the housing, it can be positioned as a compact unit and attached, for example, in an energy storage. Several energy storage cells with housing can be arranged well next to each other or on each other. Forces acting on the current conductors are partially absorbed by the housing.

Ein aus Kunststoff bestehendes Gehäuse bietet den Vorteil, dass die Stromableiter innerhalb des Gehäuses elektrisch isoliert sind, und den Vorteil der Gewichtseinsparung gegenüber einem Metallgehäuse. Ein Metallgehäuse bietet hingegen den Vorteil, dass es als Wärmeabieiter fungiert. Die Sicherheit einer Energiespeicherzelle mit flexibler Hülle wird durch das Gehäuse erhöht .An existing plastic housing has the advantage that the current conductors are electrically isolated within the housing, and the advantage of weight savings over a metal housing. On the other hand, a metal housing offers the advantage that it acts as a heat dissipator. The security of an energy storage cell with a flexible envelope is increased by the housing.

Die hohen elektrischen Leistungen, die beim Betrieb von Hybrid- bzw. Elektrofahrzeugen abgerufen werden, führen zu einem starken Temperaturanstieg in den Energiespeicherzellen. Deshalb umfasst das Gehäuse in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform einen Wärmeabieiter in Form eines Kühlbleches. Diese Ausführungsform ist besonders vorteilhaft bei einem Gehäuse aus Kunststoff. Durch das Kühlblech wird die Wärme aus der Energiespeicherzelle abgeleitet. Zudem erhöht das Kühlblech die Steifigkeit eines Gehäuses aus Kunststoff.The high electrical power that is called in the operation of hybrid or electric vehicles, lead to a sharp increase in temperature in the energy storage cells. Therefore, in an advantageous embodiment, the housing comprises a heat dissipator in the form of a cooling plate. This embodiment is particularly advantageous in a plastic housing. Through the heat sink, the heat is dissipated from the energy storage cell. In addition, the heat sink increases the rigidity of a plastic housing.

Zur optimalen thermischen Kopplung einer Energiespeicherzelle an eine Kühlplatte kann in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eine Flächenseite der flexiblen Hülle der Energiespeicherzelle mittels einer wärmeleitfähigen Klebeverbindung auf das Kühlblech geklebt werden. Bei einem Metallgehäuse wird die Energiespeicherzelle entsprechend auf den Boden des Metallgehäuses geklebt. Die Anbindung der Energiespeicherzelle an das Kühlblech oder an das Metallgehäuse kann vorzugsweise über eine doppelseitig klebende Wärmeleitfolie erfolgen. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird die Wärmeableitung aus der Energiespeicherzelle erhöht. Die KlebeVerbindung erhöht zudem die Stabilität des Moduls Energiespeicherzelle und Gehäuse und sorgt für eine zuverlässige Positionierung der Energiespeicherzelle im Gehäuse .For optimum thermal coupling of an energy storage cell to a cooling plate, in one advantageous embodiment, one surface side of the flexible shell of the energy storage cell can be adhesively bonded to the cooling plate by means of a thermally conductive adhesive bond. In a metal housing, the energy storage cell is glued to the bottom of the metal housing accordingly. The connection of the energy storage cell to the cooling plate or to the metal housing can preferably take place via a double-sided adhesive heat-conducting foil. By this embodiment, the heat dissipation from the energy storage cell is increased. The adhesive bond also increases the stability of the module energy storage cell and housing and ensures reliable positioning of the energy storage cell in the housing.

Insbesondere wenn ein Metallgehäuse zur Aufnahme einer Energiespeicherzelle verwendet wird, muss eine ausreichende elektrische Isolierung zwischen den Stromableitern und dem Metallgehäuse sichergestellt sein. In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind die Stromableiter der Energiespeicherzelle im Bereich des Gehäuses mit einem elektrisch isolierenden Material vergossen. Derartige Materialien sind vorzugsweise technische Wachse, Vergussharze oder Silikon. Vorzugsweise wird dieser Überzug als Versiegelung rissfest ausgeführt. Der Vorteil liegt in der direkten elektrischen Isolierung der Stromableiter. Der Verguss bietet zudem einen deutlich erhöhten Schutz der Stromableiter vor Korrosion bzw. Oxidation.In particular, when a metal housing is used to receive an energy storage cell, sufficient electrical insulation must be ensured between the current conductors and the metal housing. In an advantageous Embodiment, the current conductor of the energy storage cell in the region of the housing with an electrically insulating material potted. Such materials are preferably technical waxes, potting resins or silicone. Preferably, this coating is designed as a seal crack resistant. The advantage lies in the direct electrical insulation of the current conductor. The encapsulation also offers a significantly increased protection of the current collector from corrosion or oxidation.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind die Stromableiter der Energiespeicherzelle im Bereich des Gehäuses zum Zweck der elektrischen Isolierung von Isolierkappen aus einem nichtleitenden Material umgeben. Vorzugsweise sind die Stromableiter der Energiespeicherzelle doppelt isoliert durch isolierendes Vergussmaterial und Isolierkappen im Bereich des Gehäuses. Die Isolierkappen können aus Kunststoff bestehen. Der Vorteil liegt in der elektrischen Isolation der Stromableiter und einer mechanischen Versteifung des Anschlussbereichs zwischen Zellkörper und Stromableiter. Die Isolierkappen tragen zur definierten Positionierung der Energiespeicherzelle im Gehäuse bei .In a further advantageous embodiment, the current conductors of the energy storage cell in the region of the housing for the purpose of electrical insulation of insulating caps are surrounded by a non-conductive material. Preferably, the current conductors of the energy storage cell are double insulated by insulating potting material and insulating caps in the region of the housing. The insulating caps can be made of plastic. The advantage lies in the electrical insulation of the current conductors and a mechanical stiffening of the connection area between cell body and current conductor. The insulating caps contribute to the defined positioning of the energy storage cell in the housing.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind elektrisch isolierende Kunststoffclips mit einem Scharnier und mindestens einem Schnapphaken zum Zweck der elektrischen Isolierung an den Stromableitern im Bereich des Gehäuses befestigt. Vorzugsweise sind die Stromableiter der Energiespeicherzelle doppelt isoliert durch isolierendes Vergussmaterial und isolierende Kunststoffclips im Bereich des Gehäuses. Die Kunststoffclips umfassen ein Scharnier, vorzugsweise ein Filmscharnier. Die Kunststoffclips werden über die Stromableiter geklemmt und mit Schnapphaken verschlossen. Der Vorteil liegt in einer vollständigen elektrischen Isolierung der elektrischen Stromableiter im Bereich des Gehäuses. Der Anschlussbereich zwischen Zellkörper und Stromableiter wird mechanisch versteift. Die Kunststoffclips werden vorzugsweise so dimensioniert, dass sie beim Schließen des Gehäuses die Energiespeicherzelle auf den Boden des Gehäuses drücken und so eine KlebeVerbindung zwischen Energiespeicherzelle und Gehäuseboden oder Kühlblech entlasten. Auf die Stromableiter wirkende Kräfte werden teilweise vom Gehäuse und nicht mehr ausschließlich von der KlebeVerbindung aufgenommen.In a further advantageous embodiment, electrically insulating plastic clips with a hinge and at least one snap hook are fastened to the current conductors in the region of the housing for the purpose of electrical insulation. Preferably, the current conductors of the energy storage cell are double insulated by insulating potting material and insulating plastic clips in the region of the housing. The plastic clips comprise a hinge, preferably a film hinge. The plastic clips are clamped over the current collector and closed with snap hooks. The advantage lies in a complete electrical insulation of the electric current collector in the area of the housing. The connection area between cell body and current conductor is mechanically stiffened. The plastic clips are preferably dimensioned so that they press the energy storage cell to the bottom of the housing when closing the housing and thus relieve an adhesive bond between energy storage cell and housing bottom or heat sink. Forces acting on the current conductors are partly absorbed by the housing and not exclusively by the adhesive bond.

Das Gehäuse kann entsprechend einer bevorzugten Konstruktionsweise aus zwei Teilen bestehen: einem Boden und einem Deckel mit der Fensteröffnung. Boden und Deckel sind durch ein Scharnier verbunden und werden mittels Schnapphaken verschlossen. Der Vorteil liegt darin, dass die gegebenenfalls elektrisch isolierte Energiespeicherzelle sehr schnell und kostensparend in das Gehäuse eingelegt bzw. auf den Boden geklebt werden kann. Auch der Verschluss von Deckel und Boden erfolgt schnell und leicht mit Schnapphaken .The housing may, according to a preferred construction, consist of two parts: a bottom and a lid with the window opening. Bottom and lid are connected by a hinge and are closed by snap hooks. The advantage is that the possibly electrically insulated energy storage cell can be inserted very quickly and cost-saving in the housing or glued to the floor. The closure of lid and bottom is done quickly and easily with snap hooks.

Through the cooling plate (12), the heat is dissipated from the energy storage cell.

Fig. 5 zeigt das geöffnete Gehäuse (6) aus Fig. 4, in das eine Energiespeicherzelle eingelegt wurde, deren Stromableiter (2) durch Kunstoffclips (4) im Bereich des Gehäuses elektrisch isoliert sind. Die Stromableiter (2) werden mit den freien Enden, die nicht vollständig isoliert sind, durch zwei dafür vorgesehene Öffnungen des Gehäuses (6) aus dem Gehäuse geführt. Die flexible Hülle (3) an der Unterseite der Energiespeicherzelle kommt auf dem in Fig. 4 gezeigten Kühlblech (12) zu liegen und kann mittels einer wärmeleitfähigen Klebevorrichtung auf dem Kühlblech befestigt werden. Durch die Anordnung der Energiespeicherzelle (1) im Gehäuse (6) wird die Energiespeicherzelle mechanisch stabilisiert und elektrisch in den Bereichen isoliert, die nicht der Kontaktierung dienen.FIG. 5 shows the opened housing (6) from FIG. 4, in which an energy storage cell has been inserted whose current conductors (2) are electrically insulated by plastic clips (4) in the region of the housing. The current conductors (2) are guided with the free ends, which are not completely insulated, through two openings provided for this purpose of the housing (6) out of the housing. The flexible sheath (3) on the underside of the energy storage cell comes to lie on the cooling plate (12) shown in Fig. 4 and can be fixed by means of a thermally conductive adhesive device on the heat sink. By arranging the energy storage cell (1) in the housing (6), the energy storage cell is mechanically stabilized and electrically isolated in the areas that do not serve the contact.

In der in Fig. 6 gezeigten Darstellung des geschlossenen Gehäuses (6) mit eingelegter Energiespeicherzelle (1) erkennt man, dass die flexible Hülle (3) an der Oberseite der Energiespeicherzelle (1) durch die Fensteröffnung (7) des Deckels (9) des Gehäuses (6) tritt. Hierdurch ist die Möglichkeit des „Atmens" der Energiespeicherzelle (1) gegeben. An allen Stellen, an denen die Stromableiter (2) der Energiespeicherzelle das Gehäuse (6) berühren könnten, sind die Stromableiter durch Kunststoffclips (4) elektrisch isoliert .In the illustration of the closed housing (6) with inserted energy storage cell (1) shown in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the flexible envelope (3) at the top of the energy storage cell (1) through the window opening (7) of the lid (9) of Housing (6) occurs. This provides the possibility of "breathing" the energy storage cell 1. At all points where the current conductors (2) of the energy storage cell could touch the housing (6), the current conductors are electrically insulated by plastic clips (4).

Fig. 7 zeigt den Verschluss des Gehäuses (6) mittels Schnapphaken (11) . Die Schnapphaken dienen dem schnellen aber zuverlässigen Verschließen des Gehäuses (6) nach dem Einlegen der Energiespeicherzelle (1) mit flexibler Hülle (3) .
