    The invention relates to a rechargeable electric battery, in particular high-voltage battery, preferably for an electric vehicle, with at least one stack of battery cells lined up in the stacking direction, the battery cells being clamped between two plates arranged substantially parallel to the battery cells.
    In batteries, which have Pachungen example, of several lithium-ion battery cells, the battery cells are pressed together by pressure plates by means of a clamping screws or tension straps having tensioning device. However, this type of connection is very space, time and parts consuming. The biasing of the battery cells requires several steps and is relatively time-consuming, which is a problem especially in mass production. Furthermore, it is difficult to ensure a consistent and uniform bias of the battery cells over the life.
    From DE 10 2009 035 463 Al a battery with a plurality of flat, substantially plate-shaped single battery cells is known. The battery cells are stacked in a row stack and surrounded by a battery case. The battery single cells are formed in frame flat construction with metallic sheets and a frame made of insulating material.
    Also known from WO 2008/048751 A2 is a battery module with a multiplicity of plate-shaped battery cells arranged side by side in a stack, which are accommodated in a housing.
    WO 2010/053689 A2 describes a battery arrangement with a housing and a plurality of lithium-ion cells, which are arranged next to one another. The housing is flowed through for cooling with a thermally conductive, electrically insulating fluid.
    From WO 2010/067944 Al a battery with juxtaposed stack of battery cells is known, wherein battery cells are cooled by cooling air. * * * * * * * * * * · * * * * * * * * * * 4 * * * *
    The object of the invention is to provide in a battery of the type mentioned a secure recording for battery cells in a simple manufacturing technology.
    According to the invention, this is achieved in that the plates are fixedly connected to holding plates substantially normal to the plates by means of clamping screws arranged substantially parallel to the battery cells, the plates and the holding plate forming a holding frame for at least one stack arranged between the holding plates.
    It is preferably provided that at least two, preferably at least three clamping screws are arranged in the region of each plate, wherein preferably the clamping screws pass through the plate in the plane thereof.
    The bias of the battery cells between a first plate and a second plate is defined in each case by the distances of receiving bores in the holding plates for the clamping screws of the first plate with respect to receiving bores of the second plate.
    In a transverse direction to the stacking direction, at least two stacks of battery cells can be arranged next to one another and clamped between the two plates. Thus, several rows of stacks can be arranged side by side. By increasing or decreasing the number of rows and stacks, the capacity of the battery can be adapted to the particular requirement. In the stacking direction, a plurality of stacks can thus be arranged one behind the other, wherein the stacks are separated from each other by a respective plate. The length of the holding plates may extend in the stacking direction (y) over a plurality of stacks, preferably over all stacks arranged one behind the other in the stacking direction.
    To save weight, it is advantageous if the Haltepiatten have openings.
    In order to increase the rigidity of the holding frame, at least one plate has a wave structure, wherein preferably the waves are formed parallel to the axes of the clamping screws.
    In order to allow a uniform clamping force, it is preferably provided that between at least one plate and an adjacent battery cell, an elastic insulating layer, preferably made of a foam, is arranged.
    The biased by an assembly tool battery cells are used in batches or modules in the support frame formed from plates and holding plates and removed the assembly tools. The fixed by the clamping screws in their position plates limit the elastic expansion of the insulating layer and / or the battery cells in the stacking direction, so that the battery cells in the installed state have a defined residual bias, which is maintained substantially over the entire life.
    To increase the volumetric energy density, it is advantageous if at least two juxtaposed stacks are arranged offset in the stacking direction. The offset of the two stacks is preferably about half the thickness of a battery cell.
    In order to achieve a tight packing, it is particularly advantageous if at least one battery cell of a stack is arranged at least partially overlapping with respect to at least one battery cell of an adjacent stack. In order to use the remaining cavities, at least one first cooling air channel can be formed between at least one overlapping region of the battery cells of adjacent stacks.
    To save space, the plates may have a step in the overlap area.
    At least one battery cell is surrounded by a plastic cell sheath, the plastic cell hü Ile a - preferably in the region of a cell center plane circumferentially along the narrow side of the battery cell arranged, protruding seal seam. Between the sealing seams of adjacent battery cells of a stack a free space is spanned in each case. This space may form a first and / or second cooling air channel. In this case, at least one first cooling air channel in the direction of a vertical axis of the battery and at least one second cooling air channel in the direction of a normal to the vertical axis and normal to the stacking direction formed transverse axis of the battery can be arranged. 4 • t «I * ft * * * ft *» ft ft * *
    In order to enable a simple production, it is advantageous if in each case two stacks with partially overlapping battery cells form a battery module, wherein preferably each battery module is arranged between two preferably thermally and / or electrically insulating plates. The area between the two adjacent stacks flows through the first cooling air channel and is cooled. The second cooling air passages through which cooling air flows are arranged on the upper side of the battery and serve to cool the cell poles and / or the electrical cell connectors. In this case, a particularly good cooling of the latter can be achieved if at least one preferably a U-profile or Y-profile having cell connector for electrical connection of two adjacent battery cells protrudes into a second cooling air channel. The first and / or second cooling air ducts may be part of a closed cooling air circuit for cooling the battery, wherein preferably the cooling air circuit has at least one cooling air blower and at least one heat exchanger. Due to the closed cooling air circuit, the cooling of the battery can be largely independent of adverse environmental influences, such as temperature and humidity fluctuations, air pollution, or the like, performed. This ensures constant optimum operating conditions for the battery and enables a long service life of the same.
    At least one sealed seam of a battery cell of a first stack can protrude into a free space formed by sealing seams of two adjacent battery cells of a second stack. The sealing seams delimiting the free space or projecting into the free space can form flow guide surfaces for cooling air. As a result, on the one hand improves the cooling air flow and on the other hand increases the swept by cooling air surface.
    In order to avoid thermal overheating of adjacent battery cells as possible, it is provided that between two adjacent battery cells of at least one stack, a thermal and electrical insulation layer is disposed, wherein preferably the insulating layer is formed by an insulating film.
    By the measures described the required space can be reduced and the volumetric energy density can be increased. 5 • · «

    The rechargeable battery 1 has in the exemplary embodiment seven battery modules 2, wherein each battery module 2 has two stacks 3, 4 of juxtaposed and strained battery cells 5. The stacks 3, 4 of each battery module 2 are sandwiched between two structurally stiff corrugated metal plates 6, e.g. Aluminum, or plastic, arranged, wherein the plates 6 may be formed by die castings. The plates 6 themselves are clamped between two holding plates 7, 8 at the front and back of the battery 1, wherein the holding plate 7 is fixedly connected at the front via clamping screws 9 with the holding plate 8 at the rear. The clamping screws 9 are each arranged in the region of the plates 6. The plates 6 together with the holding plates 7, 8 form a holding frame 10 for the battery modules 2. The holding plates 7, 8 have openings in order to keep the weight as low as possible. The-seen in the stacking direction y - defined distance between the clamping screws 9 ensures that the battery cells are installed 5 in the correct position and with certain and over the life of the battery 1 is substantially invariable bias. Between the plates 6 and the adjacent battery cells 5 is in each case an elastic insulating layer 6a, for example of a foam, arranged, which allows a uniform and gentle pressure distribution.
    Down the battery 1 is completed by a bottom plate 11.
    The battery 1 together with the holding frame 10 is arranged in a housing 12, wherein between the housing 12 and the battery 1 cooling air flow paths are formed. For guiding the cooling air flow, flow guide surfaces 13 are incorporated into the housing bottom 12a, as can be seen in FIGS. • fr • a · * »· fr« £ * »fr
    Each battery cell 5 is surrounded by a Kunststoffhüfle 14, wherein the plastic shell 14 approximately in the region of a Zellmittelebene 15 along the narrow side 5a has a protruding seal seam 16 for sealing. Between the sealing seams 16 of two adjacent battery cells 5 of a stack 3, 4 a free space 17 is spanned in each case.
    To save space, the two juxtaposed stack 3, 4 each battery module 2 are offset and formed overlapping each other. The offset V is approximately half the thickness D of a battery cell 5. The sealing seams 16 of a battery cell 5 of the one stack 3, 4 protrude into a space of sealing seams 16 of two adjacent battery cells 5 of the other stack 4, 3 open space 17 inside. As a result, the free space 17 can be used at least partially by accommodating part of the sealing seams 16. This has a very beneficial effect on the size of the installed space and on the volumetric energy density. The offset v between the two stacks 3, 4 causes the plates 6 form a step 24 in the region of a longitudinal center plane la of the battery 1.
    On the upper narrow side 5a protrude from the plastic sheaths 14 cell poles 18, which are connected to each other via U- and Y-shaped cell connectors 19, 20.
    The connection between the cell connectors 19, 20 and the cell poles 18 may be implemented as a clinching connection 21 comprising one or more clinching points 21a in a clinching process. This allows a particularly high current carrying capacity by means of juxtaposed Mehrfachfügepunkte and a corrosion-resistant long-term compound due to the hermetically sealed joints and easy contacting of the cell poles 18 with different materials (copper to aluminum and vice versa), without additional components. By means of clinching, two to four sheets can be electrically connected to one another with the same tool, with the materials copper, aluminum and steel being particularly suitable for wall thicknesses of 0.1 to 0.5 mm. Optionally, cell voltage monitoring cables 22 can thus be connected to the cell poles 18 in a clinching operation method simultaneously with the cell connectors 19, 20 in one step. Since the position of the clinching points 21a of the clinching joint 21 is allowed to scatter more than, for example, a laser welding joint, a relatively high tolerance compensation capability results. By using parallel and 7 4 · «(
    Multiple tools can be realized for larger quantities a simple and cost-effective production, with only a few and easily controllable influencing variables such as material wall thickness, pressing force, etc. are available. By projecting into the cooling air channel 27 clinching 21a, the heat-dissipating surface of the battery 1 is increased, which is particularly important in direct air cooling of the cell poles 18 of importance. The protruding clinch points 21a also contribute to the increase in turbulence, which improves the heat transport, in particular in the case of air cooling. As a result of their positive effect on the cooling, clinching points 21a also contribute to increasing the volumetric energy density through efficient use of space.
    In order to achieve a particularly good volumetric energy density, it is necessary to position the battery cells 5 as close to each other as possible. For this purpose, a thin, thermal and electrical insulator layer 23, for example an insulating film, is arranged between the battery cells 5 in order to prevent the occurrence of a "domino effect". to avoid thermal overload of an adjacent battery cell 5.
    The free spaces 17 at the same time form Kühiluftkanäle 26, 27. In the region of the overlap 25 of the two stacks 3, 4, that is to say in the region of the longitudinal center plane 1a of the battery 1, the free spaces 17 form first cooling air channels 26, which are arranged in the direction of the vertical axis z of the battery 1. The sealing seams 16 thereby form flow guide surfaces for the air flow and heat-dissipating surfaces. In the direction of a transverse axis x normal to the vertical axis z and normal to the stacking direction y, second cooling air channels 27 in the region of the cell poles 18 are formed by the free spaces 17 at the top of the battery cells 5.
    The first and second cooling air channels 26, 27 are part of a closed cooling air circuit 28 for cooling the battery 1, wherein the cooling air circuit 28 has at least one cooling air blower 29 and at least one heat exchanger 30. The cooling air is - coming from the cooling air blower 29 and the heat exchanger 30 - in the housing 12 in the region of the holding plate 9 at the rear and / or top of the battery 1 or in the region of the cell poles 18 supplied. The cooling air flows through the second cooling air channels 27 and cools cell poles 18 and cell connectors 19, 20. Thereafter, at least part of the cooling air passes into the first cooling air channels 26, which lead the cooling air against the vertical axis z downwards. In this case, all spaces and clearances 17 of the battery 1 flows through and dissipates accumulating heat. Between the retaining plate 8 at the front of the battery 1 and the housing 12 and the remaining cooling air flows to the housing bottom 12a of the housing 12, where it is passed through the flow guide 13 to the vehicle longitudinal center plane ε and collected. Thereafter, the cooling air is sucked in again by the cooling air blower and cooled in the heat exchanger 30, before it is again supplied in the closed cooling circuit 28 of the battery 1.
