Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cell arrangement, in particular a cell module, includes a plurality of energy storage cells, the cell housings of the energy storage cells having markings, and the energy storage cells being oriented or positioned according to the markings.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 .- 13 . (canceled) 14 . A cell arrangement, comprising: a multiplicity of energy storage cells, each having a cell housing, wherein the cell housings of the energy storage cells have markings, and the energy storage cells are aligned or positioned corresponding to the markings. 15 . The cell arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the cell arrangement forms a cell module. 16 . The cell arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the markings indicate a temperature response of the energy storage cells. 17 . The cell arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein the markings indicate a respective temperature hotspot of the energy storage cells. 18 . The cell arrangement according to claim 14 , further comprising: a heat transfer element, which is designed to adjust a temperature of the cell arrangement, and wherein the markings are oriented towards the heat transfer element. 19 . The cell arrangement according to claim 18 , wherein the markings make direct contact with the heat transfer element. 20 . The cell arrangement according to claim 18 , wherein the energy storage cells make contact on one side with the heat transfer element. 21 . The cell arrangement according to claim 18 , wherein the heat transfer element comprises a fluid that flows through the heat transfer element. 22 . The cell arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the cell housings are solid cell housings. 23 . The cell arrangement according to claim 14 , wherein the cell housings are round cell housings, and the markings are arranged on circumferential faces of the round cell housings. 24 . An energy store comprising at least one cell arrangement according to claim 14 . 25 . The energy store according to claim 24 , wherein the energy store is a high-voltage store. 26 . A method for producing a cell arrangement, comprising: providing a multiplicity of energy storage cells; applying markings to cell housings of the energy storage cells; and arranging or aligning the energy storage cells corresponding to the markings during construction of the cell arrangement. 27 . The method according to claim 26 , further comprising: providing a heat transfer element; and arranging the cell housings such that the cell housings are oriented towards the heat transfer element and/or bear directly against the heat transfer element, wherein the markings indicate a respective temperature hotspot of the energy storage cell. 28 . The method according to claim 27 , further comprising: determining the temperature hotspots by way of simulation. 29 . The method according to claim 25 , further comprising: detecting or identifying the markings by way of a machine; and arranging and positioning the cell housings by way of a machine.
