    摘要: A method for operating an electrical stored energy source having a housing and at least one storage cell which is situated inside the housing. The method includes: first, a malfunction of the at least one storage cell and/or of the electrical stored energy source is determined, in which malfunction a fuel gas-air mixture is formed inside the housing. Then, inert gas is metered into the housing by a metering device of the electrical stored energy source, wherein sufficient inert gas is metered into the housing that the oxygen concentration inside the housing assumes a threshold value. The oxygen concentration is detected by an oxygen sensor of the electrical stored energy source. The threshold value is less than or equal to the oxygen limit concentration, which is defined as the maximum oxygen concentration at which combustion of the mixture of fuel gas, air and inert gas in the electrical stored energy source is not possible.

    摘要: A high-voltage accumulator for vehicles, includes a high-voltage accumulator housing, and at least one accumulator cell which is arranged in the high-voltage accumulator housing and has an emergency degassing opening that opens when a specified accumulator cell internal pressure is exceeded and allows hot gas to exit the interior of the accumulator cell into the interior of the high-voltage accumulator housing. A chamber filled with a phase-changing medium is provided in the region of the emergency degassing opening of the at least one accumulator cell. The chamber is directly or indirectly supplied with hot gas when the hot gas exits the interior of the accumulator cell, whereby heat is input into the phase-changing medium and the phase-changing medium is heated and/or transitions into a high-energy aggregate state.

    摘要: A battery housing includes a valve device for pressure equalization and for letting out a hot gas of a battery cell. The valve device has a valve seat in the form of a gas release opening in a housing wall of the battery housing and a valve body. The valve body closes the gas release opening when in a closed position, can be moved by a pressure-difference-induced internal pressure increase into a first open position in which the valve body reversibly opens the gas release opening to provide pressure equalization, and can be moved by a hot-gas-induced internal pressure increase into a second open position in which the valve body irreversibly opens the gas release opening to let out the hot gas.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a high-voltage battery which has a housing and at least one battery module arranged in the housing that has multiple battery cells which are electrically connected together via a cell contacting system. Each of the battery cells has a battery cell housing with an emergency degassing opening which opens at a specified cell inner pressure and through which hot or burning gas can be leaked out of the interior of the battery cell housing into the housing of the high-voltage battery in the event of a disruption or damage to individual battery cells. The emergency degassing openings face the cell contacting system and/or a wall of the housing of the high-voltage battery, wherein the cell contacting system and/or the wall of the housing of the high-voltage battery is/are provided with a heat protection layer, in particular a heat protection coating, at least in the regions in which the emergency degassing openings are arranged.

    摘要: A hollow-chamber profile for fastening a battery module in a vehicle includes a first side wall and a second side wall which lies opposite the first side wall, where the first side wall and the second side wall are connected to one another via a bottom wall. Additionally, the hollow-chamber profile has a top wall which lies opposite the bottom wall, where the top wall is designed to interact with at least one fastening device for fastening the battery module. The hollow-chamber profile has at least one intermediate wall which extends between the side walls from the top wall in the direction of the bottom wall, where a wall thickness of the at least one intermediate wall is dimensioned in such a way that the fastening device can be introduced at least partially into the wall thickness of the at least one intermediate wall.

    摘要: A vehicle includes a high-voltage battery that has a housing and at least one battery cell arranged in the housing. The battery cell has a battery cell housing with an emergency degassing opening which opens at a specified cell inner pressure and through which hot or burning gas can pass out of the interior of the battery cell housing into the housing of the high-voltage battery in the event of a disruption or damage to the battery cell. The emergency degassing opening faces a housing wall against which hot or burning gas flows in the event of the disruption or damage to the battery cell. The housing wall of the high-voltage battery is designed to be more thermally resistant locally in the region in which the emergency degassing opening is arranged and in which the hot or burning gas flows out of the battery cell housing in the event of a disruption or damage to the battery cell than in the wall regions at a distance from the emergency degassing opening.
