Abstract

A tempering device of a battery disconnect unit includes a first tempering plate, on which a switching device of the battery disconnect unit can be arranged, and a second tempering plate, on which the power electronics of the battery disconnect unit can be arranged. The first tempering plate and the second tempering plate are directly connected to one another in a material-locking fashion, forming a common flow chamber through which tempering fluid can flow. The switching device and the power electronics are arranged on a top side of the tempering device.

Claims (16)

1 . A tempering device of a battery disconnect unit ( 10 ) comprising:

a first tempering plate ( 21 ) on which a switching device ( 3 ) of the battery disconnect unit ( 10 ) can be arranged, and

a second tempering plate ( 22 ) on which power electronics ( 4 ) of the battery disconnect unit ( 10 ) can be arranged,

wherein the first tempering plate ( 21 ) and the second tempering plate ( 22 ) are directly connected to one another in a material-locking fashion forming a common flow chamber ( 5 ),

wherein the switching device ( 3 ) and the power electronics ( 4 ) can be arranged on a top side ( 6 ) of the tempering device ( 1 ).

2 . The tempering device according to claim 1 , wherein the first tempering plate ( 21 ) comprises a first connection area ( 71 ) on which the switching device ( 3 ) can be arranged, and the second tempering plate ( 22 ) comprises a second connection area ( 72 ) on which the power electronics ( 4 ) can be arranged, wherein the second connection area ( 72 ) is arranged directly adjacent to the flow chamber ( 5 ).

3 . The tempering device according to claim 2 , wherein the first connection area ( 71 ) and the second connection area ( 72 ) are arranged in a longitudinal direction ( 8 ) of the tempering device ( 1 ) offset from each other.

4 . The tempering device according to claim 2 , wherein the first connection area ( 71 ) forms at least two projections ( 75 ), on each of which a power bus ( 35 ) of the switching device ( 3 ) can be arranged.

5 . The tempering device according to claim 1 , wherein the tempering device ( 1 ) forms a first connection ( 91 ), which is configured to allow tempering fluid into the flow chamber ( 5 ), and the tempering device ( 1 ) forms a second connection ( 92 ), which is configured to allow tempering fluid out of the flow chamber ( 5 ),

wherein the first connection ( 91 ) and the second connection ( 92 )

are arranged opposite one another in a longitudinal direction ( 8 ) of the tempering device ( 1 ).

6 . The tempering device according to claim 1 , wherein an internal insert ( 50 ) is included in the flow chamber ( 5 ).

7 . The tempering device according to claim 1 , wherein the first tempering plate ( 21 ) and the second tempering plate ( 22 ) are formed of a metallic material.

8 . The tempering device according to claim 1 , wherein the first tempering plate ( 21 ) has a first thickness ( 27 ), and the second tempering plate ( 22 ) has a second thickness ( 28 ), wherein the first thickness ( 27 ) is greater than the second thickness ( 28 ).

9 . A battery disconnect unit with a tempering device according to claim 1 , wherein a switching device ( 3 ) is arranged on the first tempering plate ( 21 ) in a thermally conductive manner, and the power electronics ( 4 ) are arranged on the second tempering plate ( 22 ) in a thermally conductive manner.

10 . The tempering device according to claim 7 , wherein the first tempering plate ( 21 ) and the second tempering plate ( 22 ) are formed of aluminum.
