First Claim
Patent Images
1. An energy storage device comprising:
- a transducer unit;
one or more capacitor cells each comprising a cell housing, wherein the one or more capacitor cells are operably coupled with the transducer unit; and
a chamber housing having a structure that forms a capacitor chamber and a circuit chamber such that the capacitor chamber and the circuit chamber are integrated into the structure of the chamber housing, wherein the capacitor chamber accommodates the capacitor cells such that the capacitor cells are coupled within the capacitor chamber and the circuit chamber accommodates the transducer unit such that the transducer unit is coupled within the circuit chamber, and further wherein the capacitor chamber has a gas-tight seal and the circuit chamber is completely separate from and disposed outside of the capacitor chamber.

Abstract
With the objective of improving an energy storage device comprising a transducer unit and a capacitor module which interacts with the transducer unit so it can be inserted as a physical device into a motor vehicle in particular, it is proposed to provide a housing to accommodate the capacitor cells of the capacitor module, for the housing to comprise a capacitor chamber accommodating the capacitor cells, and for the capacitor chamber to have a gas-tight seal.

18. An energy storage device comprising:
-
a transducer unit; one or more capacitor cells each comprising a cell housing, wherein the one or more capacitor cells are operably coupled with the transducer unit; a chamber housing comprising;
a capacitor chamber accommodating the capacitor cells such that the capacitor cells are coupled within the capacitor chamber, wherein the capacitor chamber has a gas-tight seal and one or more capacitor retainers that hug the perimeter of each of the capacitor cells such that the capacitor cells are fixed relative to each other; and
a circuit chamber accommodating the transducer unit such that the transducer unit is coupled within the circuit chamber, wherein the circuit chamber is completely separate from and disposed outside of the capacitor chamber; anda flat bottom cover that seals the capacitor chamber of the chamber housing, wherein the flat bottom cover comprises one or more support ribs that extend radially from the perimeter of the flat bottom cover to a central area of the flat bottom cover. - View Dependent Claims (19)
