Abstract
A system of assembling storage devices in the form of electrical energy modules includes two pairs of positive and negative terminals for each module, in which each of the pairs of positive and negative terminals is distributed over at least one of the external faces of each module, thus forming a terminal strip of the module. At least one interconnection block can be inserted onto part of each of the terminal strips of two separate modules and itself includes at least two pairs of anchoring points so as to form an assembly block, either by stacking the storage modules or by juxtaposing the same. At least two anchoring points of each interconnection block are in electrical contact, while stiffening the assembly, in a manner complementary to the other anchoring points.
Claims27
A system for assembling storage devices, the system comprising:
- electrical energy storage modules each having external faces and two pairs of positive and negative terminals;
- each of said pairs of positive and negative terminals being distributed over at least one of said external faces of each of said storage modules forming a terminal strip of said storage module;
- at least one interconnection block configured to be inserted onto part of each of said terminal strips of a separate two of said storage modules and said at least one interconnection block including at least two pairs of anchoring points configured to form an assembly block by stacking or by juxtaposing said storage modules;
- and
- at least two of said anchoring points of each said at least one interconnection block being in electrical contact with said terminal strip of each of said stacked modules and stiffening an assembly of said storage modules in a manner complementary to others of said anchoring points;
- each said at least one interconnection block having opposite faces with said at least two anchoring points located thereon.
