Store housing for an electrical energy store having a valve device for removing liquid
View Patent ↗A store housing for an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle includes multiple housing walls which surround a receiving space for receiving at least one storage component of the electrical energy store, wherein at least one of the housing walls has a passage opening for discharge of a liquid which has accumulated in the receiving space into surroundings of the store housing, and at least one valve which is designed to conduct the liquid away from the receiving space into the surroundings via the passage opening and to at least reduce ingress of liquid from the surroundings into the receiving space via the passage opening. The at least one valve has a passive valve arranged in or at the passage opening. The valve has a first flow resistance in a first flow direction from the receiving space into the surroundings and has a second flow resistance in a second flow direction from the surroundings into the receiving space, which second flow resistance is larger in comparison with the first flow resistance.
1 . A store housing for an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle, comprising:
multiple housing walls which surround a receiving space for receiving at least one storage component of the electrical energy store, wherein
at least one of the multiple housing walls has a passage opening for discharge of a liquid that has accumulated in the receiving space into surroundings of the store housing; and
a valve that conducts the liquid away from the receiving space into the surroundings via the passage opening and that reduces ingress of liquid from the surroundings into the receiving space via the passage opening, wherein
the valve comprises a passive valve with rigid structures arranged in or at the passage opening,
the passive valve has a first flow resistance in a first flow direction from the receiving space into the surroundings and has a second flow resistance in a second flow direction from the surroundings into the receiving space, the second flow resistance being larger in comparison with the first flow resistance,
the valve additionally comprises a non-return fitting which is arranged between the receiving space and the passive valve.
2 . The store housing according to claim 1 , wherein
the passive valve is a Tesla valve.
3 . The store housing according to claim 1 , wherein
the non-return fitting is a flow-pressure-controlled, spring-loaded non-return flap.
4 . The store housing according to claim 1 , wherein
the valve comprises a valve housing in which the non-return fitting and the passive valve are arranged, the valve housing is arranged in the receiving space of the store housing at the passage opening.
5 . An electrical energy store, comprising:
at least one storage cell; and
a store housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one storage cell is arranged in the receiving space of the store housing.
6 . A store housing for an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle, comprising:
multiple housing walls which surround a receiving space for receiving at least one storage component of the electrical energy store, wherein
at least one of the multiple housing walls has a passage opening for discharge of a liquid that has accumulated in the receiving space into surroundings of the store housing; and
a valve that conducts the liquid away from the receiving space into the surroundings via the passage opening and that reduces ingress of liquid from the surroundings into the receiving space via the passage opening, wherein
the valve comprises a passive valve with rigid structures arranged in or at the passage opening,
the passive valve has a first flow resistance in a first flow direction from the receiving space into the surroundings and has a second flow resistance in a second flow direction from the surroundings into the receiving space, the second flow resistance being larger in comparison with the first flow resistance, and
a second valve comprising a passive valve, wherein
the passage opening and the valve are arranged in a first housing wall and are designed to remove liquid with a first flow direction, due to vehicle acceleration, from the receiving space, and
a second passage opening and the second valve are arranged in a second housing wall and are designed to remove liquid with a second flow direction, due to vehicle acceleration, from the receiving space.
7 . The store housing according to claim 6 , wherein
at least one of the housing walls has a liquid reservoir for collecting the liquid in the receiving space, from which liquid reservoir the liquid exits, and flows to either the valve or the second valve, in a vehicle-acceleration-induced manner.
8 . The store housing according to claim 7 , wherein
the liquid reservoir is arranged in a base-side housing wall, and
the passage opening and the second passage opening, and the valve and the second valve, are arranged in a front-side and a rear-side housing wall, respectively.
9 . A store housing for an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle, comprising:
multiple housing walls which surround a receiving space for receiving at least one storage component of the electrical energy store, wherein
at least one of the multiple housing walls has a passage opening for discharge of a liquid that has accumulated in the receiving space into surroundings of the store housing; and
a valve that conducts the liquid away from the receiving space into the surroundings via the passage opening and that reduces ingress of liquid from the surroundings into the receiving space via the passage opening, wherein
the valve comprises a passive valve with rigid structures arranged in or at the passage opening,
the passive valve has a first flow resistance in a first flow direction from the receiving space into the surroundings and has a second flow resistance in a second flow direction from the surroundings into the receiving space, the second flow resistance being larger in comparison with the first flow resistance, and
an air inlet and an air outlet; and
a blower for generating an air stream from the air inlet to the air outlet, the blower being configured such that, for reducing the liquid in the receiving space, moisture from the receiving space is taken up and transported into the surroundings via the air outlet.
