Clamping device for monoblock battery

摘要

The system uses metals straps to provide additional strength for the battery casing. The support system for the one piece battery block includes the battery itself (3) which is a rectangular box with longitudinal walls and two transverse walls. The battery includes two plates (20) which are applied against the transverse walls. A flat closed band (22) is applied to the outside to surround both the longitudinal walls and the transverse walls, including the two plates (20). Each plate has a recess (21) formed in its edge, and the band is pressed into the shape provided by this recess. The band is preferably metallic and may, for example, be made from steel of a thickness greater than 0.2mm. The whole assembly may be held together by two such bands of thickness 1mm, and width 22mm. The ribbon is deformed by compression in place on the battery casing.
