Abstract
An apparatus comprising a coupling member. The coupling member can be disposed between a first portion of a busbar connectable to a first component of a drive unit assembly and a second portion of the busbar connectable to a second component of the drive unit assembly. The coupling member can couple the first portion of the busbar with the second portion of the busbar. The coupling member can include a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment can be parallel to the third segment and the first segment can be perpendicular to the second segment.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- a coupling member configured to dispose between a first portion of a busbar connectable to a first component of a drive unit assembly and a second portion of the busbar connectable to a second component of the drive unit assembly;
- the coupling member configured to couple the first portion of the busbar with the second portion of the busbar;
- the coupling member configured to allow the first portion of the busbar to move relative to the second portion of the busbar or to allow the second portion of the busbar to move relative to the first portion of the busbar;
- and
- the coupling member including a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment;
- the first segment parallel to the third segment and the first segment perpendicular to the second segment.
A vehicle, comprising:
- an apparatus, including:
- a coupling member configured to dispose between a first portion of a busbar connectable to a first component of a drive unit assembly and a second portion of the busbar connectable to a second component of the drive unit assembly;
- the coupling member configured to couple the first portion of the busbar with the second portion of the busbar, the first portion of the busbar configured to move, via the coupling member, in a first direction along a first plane;
- and
- the coupling member including a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment;
- the first segment parallel to the third segment and the first segment perpendicular to the second segment.
A method, comprising:
- disposing a coupling member between a first portion of a busbar connectable to a first component of a drive unit assembly and a second portion of the busbar connectable to a second component of the drive unit assembly;
- the coupling member configured to couple the first portion of the busbar with the second portion of the busbar, the first portion of the busbar configured to move, via the coupling member, from a first position to a second position to adjust a distance between the first portion of the busbar and the first component of the drive unit assembly;
- and
- the coupling member including a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment;
- the first segment parallel to the third segment and the first segment perpendicular to the second segment.
