Abstract
A component for a vehicle electric drive is described, which includes at least one connecting lug pair projecting from the component for electrically connecting the component. Here, a first connecting lug and a second connecting lug of the connecting lug pair each have a joining zone for electrically connecting the component. Furthermore, an assembly for a vehicle electric drive is presented, which has at least two such components. Further presented is a method of electrically conductively connecting two components.
Claims19
A component for a vehicle electric drive, comprising at least one connecting lug pair projecting from the component for electrically connecting the component, wherein a first connecting lug and a second connecting lug of the connecting lug pair each include a joining zone for electrically connecting the component by means of a thermal joining seam.
An assembly for a vehicle electric drive, comprising a first component comprising at least one connecting lug pair projecting from the component for electrically connecting the component, wherein a first connecting lug and a second connecting lug of the connecting lug pair each include a joining zone for electrically connecting the component by means of a thermal joining seam, which is embodied as a power electronics module, and comprising
- (a) a second component comprising at least one connecting lug pair projecting from the component for electrically connecting the component, wherein a first connecting lug and a second connecting lug of the connecting lug pair each include a joining zone for electrically connecting the component by means of a thermal joining seam, which is embodied as a capacitor module, and/or
- (b) a third component comprising at least one connecting lug pair projecting from the component for electrically connecting the component, wherein a first connecting lug and a second connecting lug of the connecting lug pair each include a joining zone for electrically connecting the component by means of a thermal joining seam, which is embodied as an electric driving machine,
- wherein at least one connecting lug of the power electronics module is electrically conductively connected to an associated connecting lug of the electric driving machine or to an associated connecting lug of the capacitor module by means of a thermal joining seam, in particular a weld seam.
A method of electrically conductively connecting two components, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a first component comprising at least one connecting lug pair projecting from the component for electrically connecting the component, wherein a first connecting lug and a second connecting lug of the connecting lug pair each include a joining zone for electrically connecting the component by means of a thermal joining seam, and
- a second component comprising at least one connecting lug pair projecting from the component for electrically connecting the component, wherein a first connecting lug and a second connecting lug of the connecting lug pair each include a joining zone for electrically connecting the component by means of a thermal joining seam;
- and
- (b) welding a connecting lug of the first component to an associated connecting lug of the second component.
