AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing battery module configurations for electric motor vehicles do not optimally manage the thermal expansion of battery cells, leading to potential structural stresses and risks of component failure.

Method used

A set for battery accumulators is proposed, featuring a support with a cooling circuit and removable wedges positioned between the support's lateral walls and the battery module's side wall, which limits lateral displacement and maintains cells in direct contact with the cooling circuit.

Benefits of technology

This configuration effectively restricts stresses on the battery module's walls to within the elastic deformation range, preventing component failure and enhancing thermal exchange efficiency through direct contact with the cooling circuit.
