Abstract

The invention relates to a battery cell (2), comprising a prismatically designed cell housing with a cover surface (31), on which a negative terminal (11) and a positive terminal (12) are arranged, and an electrode coil (10) arranged within the cell housing and comprising a cathode (14) and an anode (16). The electrode coil (10) is fixed to the cover surface (31) by means of an electrically insulating holder (70), and the holder (70) is connected to at least one electrically insulating spacer (67, 68) which is fastened to the cover surface (31). The invention also relates to a battery system which comprises at least one battery cell (2) according to the invention.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A battery cell ( 2 ) comprising:
a prismatically-designed cell housing ( 3 ) having front surfaces ( 33 , 34 ), and a cover surface ( 31 ), on which a negative terminal ( 11 ) and a positive terminal ( 12 ) are arranged, and
at least one electrode coil ( 10 ) arranged within the cell housing ( 3 ) and having a cathode ( 14 ) and an anode ( 16 ), wherein the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ) is fastened to the cover surface ( 31 ) by means of an electrically-insulating holder ( 100 ),
wherein the holder ( 100 ) is configured in the form of a double frame, and includes a first frame element ( 101 ) including at least one electrically-insulating spacer ( 67 , 68 ) and a separate second frame element ( 102 ) including another at least one electrically-insulating spacer ( 67 , 68 ), between which the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ) is accommodated, and
wherein the frame elements ( 101 , 102 ) each have an opening directly adjacent a respective front surface ( 33 , 34 ) of the cell housing.

2. The battery cell ( 2 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacers ( 67 , 68 ) are fastened to the cover surface ( 31 ).

3. The battery cell ( 2 ) as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the spacers ( 67 , 68 ) are secured to the cover surface ( 31 ) by a collector ( 41 , 51 ), which electrically connects the cathode ( 14 ) or the anode ( 16 ) to the terminal ( 11 , 12 ).

4. The battery cell ( 2 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ) is disposed within and between the first frame element ( 101 ) and the second frame element ( 102 ).

5. The battery cell ( 2 ) as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ) is wound around a winding axis (A), which is oriented in parallel with the cover surface ( 31 ).

6. The battery cell ( 2 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the holder has a cover region ( 81 ), which is connected to the spacers ( 67 , 68 ), and a base region ( 82 ), which is connected to the cover region ( 81 ), and in that the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ) is held between the cover region ( 81 ) and the base region ( 82 ).

7. The battery cell ( 2 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ) is surrounded by the frame elements ( 101 , 102 ), the frame elements each extending about an entirety of respective opposing sides of the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ).

8. The battery cell ( 2 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first frame element ( 101 ) and the second frame element ( 102 ) surround an entirety of the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ) of the battery cell.

9. The battery cell ( 2 ) according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one electrically-insulating spacer ( 67 , 68 ) of the first frame element ( 101 ) and the at least one electrically-insulating spacer ( 67 , 68 ) of the second frame element ( 102 ) are form fit, and the first frame element and the second frame element are retained in a form-fitting manner.

10. The battery cell ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode ( 14 ) includes cathode contact lugs ( 24 ) and the anode ( 16 ) includes anode contact lugs ( 26 ).

11. The battery cell ( 2 ) according to claim 10 , wherein the cathode contact lugs ( 24 ) are each a different length prior to connection with a collector ( 51 ).

12. The battery cell ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the first frame element ( 101 ) and the second frame element ( 102 ) extend the length and the width of the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ), wherein the first frame element ( 101 ) and the second frame element ( 102 ) enclose the at least one electrode coil ( 10 ).

13. The battery cell ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the first frame element ( 101 ) includes two of the spacers ( 67 , 68 ) disposed at an upper edge thereof, and the second frame element ( 102 ) includes two of the spacers ( 67 , 68 ) disposed at an upper edge thereof, and wherein the two spacers ( 67 , 68 ) of the first frame element project from the upper edge toward the two spacers ( 67 , 68 ) of the second frame element that project from the upper edge thereof.

14. The battery cell ( 2 ) according to claim 13 , wherein the first frame element ( 101 ) has a rectangular shape and the two spacers ( 67 , 68 ) each project transversely from the upper edge of the first frame element ( 101 ).
