Abstract

A battery system (BS), containing at least one battery device (BV) and at least one operating device (BTV) for operation of the battery system (BS) and/or of the at least one battery device (BV), and at least one further device (V), wherein the at least one further device (V) is intended to create a physical distance between two component parts of the battery system (BS) and in particular between the at least one battery device (BV) and a further component (K) of the battery system (BS), or between at least two component parts of the at least one battery device (BV), wherein the at least one operating device (BTV) is arranged at least partially within the at least one further device (V).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A battery system (BS), comprising at least one battery device (BV) and at least one operating device (BTV) for operation of at least one of the battery system (BS) and the at least one battery device (BV), and at least one further device (V), wherein the at least one device (V) includes an annular insulator (AI, I) positioned around a connecting bolt (AB) and is configured to create a physical distance between two component parts of the battery system (BS), and wherein the at least one operating device (BTV) is arranged at least partially within the at least one further device (V).

2. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one further device (V) includes a belt, or a press belt, or a housing of the at least one battery device (BV) or a stabilizing device, configured to provide mechanical stability for at least one of the following: the housing of the at least one battery device (BV); the battery device (BV); a battery cell; and a battery module.

3. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one further device (V) is formed from an electrically insulating material.

4. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one operating device (BTV) is at least one of the following: an electronic device; a control device; a sensor; and an actuator.

5. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one battery device (BV) is a battery module or a battery cell.

6. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the annular insulator (AI) is a spacing insulator and the at least one operating device (BTV) is arranged at least partially in the spacing insulator (AI).

7. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one device (V) is configured to create a physical distance between the at least one battery device (BV) and a further component (K) of the battery system (BS).

8. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one device (V) is configured to create a physical distance between the at least one battery device (BV) and at least one other battery device.

9. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one device (V) is configured to create a physical distance between at least two component parts of the at least one battery device (BV).

10. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one further device (V) includes a cooling device or a fire protection device.

11. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one further device (V) is formed from plastic.

12. The battery system (BS) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the operating device (BTV) is at least partly positioned in the annular insulator (AI).

13. A spacer (V) having at least one surface that corresponds to at least one correspondence surface of at least one battery device (BV) of a battery system (BS), wherein the battery system (BS) contains an operating device (BTV) configured for operating at least one of the battery system (BS) and the at least one battery device (BV), and the spacer (V) includes an annular insulator (AI, I) positioned around a connecting bolt (AB) and is configured to create a physical distance between two component parts of the battery system (BS), characterized in that the at least one operating device (BTV) is arranged at least partially within the spacer (V).

14. The spacer according to claim 13 , characterized in that the spacer (V) is formed from an electrically insulating material.

15. The spacer according to claim 13 , characterized in that the at least one operating device (BTV) is at least one of the following: an electronic device; a control device; a sensor; and an actuator.

16. The spacer according to claim 13 , characterized in that the at least one battery device (BV) is a battery module or a battery cell.

17. A battery device (BV), characterized in that the battery device has a spacer (V) according to claim 13 and the battery device (BV) is a battery module or a battery cell.

18. The spacer according to claim 13 , wherein the spacer (V) is configured to create a physical distance between the at least one battery device (BV) and a further component (K) of the battery system (BS).

19. The spacer according to claim 13 , wherein the spacer (V) is configured to create a physical distance between the at least one battery device (BV) and at least one other battery device.

20. The spacer according to claim 13 , wherein the spacer (V) is configured to create a physical distance between at least two component parts of the at least one battery device (BV).
