Abstract
A battery module having a housing (15) including a plurality of cavities (16), each receiving a housing-element assembly (1) having: a) an electrochemical element (2) with a cylindrical container and two current output terminals (3, 4) disposed on a wall of one of the ends of the container, at least one of the two current output terminals being electrically connected to an electrical connection bar (5); b) a housing (6) in the form of a tube for receiving the electrochemical element, the housing electrically insulating the electrochemical element and having one or more indexing members (7, 8); c) a housing cover (9) provided with a means (10) for causing the electrochemical element to rotate about its longitudinal axis.
Claims22
A housing-cell assembly comprising:
- a) an electrochemical cell comprising a cylindrical container and two current output terminals arranged on a wall of one of the ends of the container, the two current output terminals being each electrically connected to an electrical connection bar;
- b) a housing having the form of a tube wherein the electrochemical cell is housed, the housing electrically insulating the electrochemical cell and having one or more foolproof positioning devices;
- c) a housing cover provided with a means for causing the electrochemical cell to rotate about its longitudinal axis, wherein the means to cause the electrochemical cell to rotate causes rotation of the two electrical connection bars and connection of each electrical connection bar to an electrically conductive track, wherein the housing cover comprises two orifices for the passage of the current output terminals.
