Abstract
The accumulator assembly comprises a plurality of electrical energy accumulator elements 12 each comprising connecting electrodes 18, 20, assembly means 22, 24, 50, 52, 54 linking said electrodes, a connector 35 for connecting an external component to the assembly, and a connector support 67. The support 67 comprises a mounting base 64 borne by the assembly means and a fixing lug 65 supporting the connector and configured in such a way as to allow a movement of the connector relative to the mounting base in response to an external stress exerted on said connector and/or on the fixing lug.
Claims20
An accumulator assembly comprising:
- a plurality of electrical energy accumulator elements each comprising connecting electrodes;
- assembly means linking said connecting electrodes;
- a connector for connecting an external component to the accumulator assembly;
- and
- a single-piece connector support comprising:
- a mounting base borne by said assembly means;
- and
- a fixing lug extending from said mounting base, provided with a through void configured for mounting and fixing of said connector, and configured in such a way as to allow a movement of said connector relative to said mounting base in response to an external stress exerted on said connector and/or on said fixing lug.
An accumulator assembly comprising:
- a plurality of electrical energy accumulator elements each comprising a positive electrode and a negative electrode and a conductive spacer and an insulating spacer;
- an upper end flange and a lower end flange, and at least one assembly tie-rod elongated in an axial direction for assembling a stack of said positive and negative electrodes and said conductive and insulating spacers of said plurality of electrical energy accumulator elements, wherein said conductive and insulating spacers are arranged along said axial direction between said positive and negative electrodes, and wherein said at least one assembly tie-rod passes axially through said stack of said positive and negative electrodes and said conductive and insulating spacers to clamp said stack between said upper and lower end flanges;
- a connector for connecting an external component to the accumulator assembly;
- and
- a single-piece connector support comprising:
- a mounting base arranged between one of said upper and lower end flanges;
- and
- a fixing lug extending from said mounting base, provided with a through void configured for mounting and fixing of said connector, and configured in such a way as to allow a movement of said connector relative to said mounting base in response to an external stress exerted on said connector and/or on said fixing lug.
