Abstract: A pressure management system includes a pressure plate configured to be disposed at an initial position relative to a battery cell in a housing, the initial position including a first orientation, a tilting assembly configured to allow the pressure plate to change from a first orientation to a second orientation based on the expansion force being non-uniform. The system includes a mechanical linkage attached to the pressure plate and configured to move laterally in response to the expansion force and translate the expansion force to a reactive force, and a biasing system including a biasing member configured to resist a lateral movement of the mechanical linkage. The biasing system is configured to apply a biasing force that causes the mechanical linkage to apply the reactive force, and based on the expansion force being non-uniform, is controllable to change the biasing force to balance an internal pressure of the cell.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an apparatus for performing a method of controlling a pressure within a battery. The battery is disclosed between a support plate at a first side of the battery and a pressure plate disposed at a second side of the battery opposite the first side. The pressure plate is movable with respect to the support plate to control the pressure of the battery and including a first plate wedge. The first actuator wedge is moved parallel to the pressure plate with the first actuator wedge in contact with the first plate wedge to control a force applied by the first actuator wedge to the first plate wedge to move the pressure plate with respect to the support plate. Moving the pressure plate controls the pressure within the battery.

Abstract: A method and system for estimating state of charge of a lithium battery cell of a vehicle is provided. The method comprises providing a non-linear function of the lithium battery cell, a normalized lithium surface density and an actual voltage at a current of the lithium battery cell having an internal resistance. The method further comprises determining an actual lithium surface density based on the actual voltage relative to an inverse of the non-linear function. The method further comprises determining a varying parameter based on the actual lithium surface density relative to a first diffusion model. The method further comprises determining a predicted lithium surface density based on the varying parameter relative to a second diffusion model. The method further comprises determining an estimated state of charge of the lithium battery cell when a difference between the predicted and actual lithium surface densities is less than a first threshold.

Abstract: A pressure management system includes a pressure plate disposed at an initial position relative to a battery cell, the battery cell disposed in a housing, where expansion of the battery cell causes an expansion force to be applied to the pressure plate. The pressure management system also includes a mechanical linkage attached to the pressure plate, the mechanical linkage configured to move in a lateral direction in response to the expansion force and translate the expansion force to a reactive force that is opposed to the expansion force, and a biasing system including a biasing member configured to resist lateral movement of the mechanical linkage. The biasing system is configured to apply a biasing force in a direction opposite the lateral direction, the biasing force causing the mechanical linkage to apply the reactive force as a selected proportion of the expansion force.

Abstract: An interior permanent magnet motor having controllable coolant distribution is provided. The motor comprises a motor housing and a rotary shaft connected to a rotor rotatably disposed in the housing. The motor further comprises a stator unit disposed in the housing and comprising conductive windings arranged about the rotor. The windings have a straight portion radially extending to an end-turn portion. The motor further comprises an oil sump disposed on the housing above the stator unit. The oil sump comprises a reservoir having an inner side and an outer side. The reservoir has at least one aperture formed therethrough over the end-turn portion. The motor further comprises a movable nozzle having a first open end extending to a second open end. The first open end is connected to the at least one aperture such that the movable nozzle and reservoir are in fluid communication. The second open end extends from the at least one aperture and positioned adjacently above the end turn portion for coolant distribution. The motor further comprises a connector movably disposed in the housing proximate to the movable nozzle. The motor further comprises a cam connected to the connector and in contact with the nozzle. Upon movement of the connector, the cam is arranged with the connector to move the second open end of the nozzle over the end turn portion for distribution of coolant oil from the oil sump to the end turn portion.
