Abstract

A holding device for electrical components of a motor vehicle, preferably an electrical motor vehicle, includes a holding element that is designed to hold one or more electrical components of the vehicle. The holding element has a holding section for holding the one or more electrical components, and a strut section, which extends from the holding section. The holding element is designed such that when the holding element is attached to the motor vehicle as intended, the strut section extends in the vehicle front direction and vehicle transverse direction to a vehicle front section and is at a predefined angle to an axis oriented in the vehicle front direction.

Claims (21)

1. A motor vehicle, comprising:

one or a plurality of electric components of the vehicle;

a holding element connected to a vehicle body and configured to hold the one or the plurality of electric components of the vehicle,

the holding element comprising:

a holding section that holds the one or the plurality of electric components,

and

a strut section that extends from the holding section obliquely with respect to a vehicle front direction, wherein

the holding section is arranged in the motor vehicle with the strut section of the holding element extending in the vehicle front direction and vehicle transverse direction as far as a vehicle front section, and at a predefined angle with respect to an axis oriented in the vehicle front direction, such that a momentum which originates from an impact of the vehicle front section with an obstacle is introduced from the strut section in the vehicle transverse direction into the vehicle body via the holding section.

2. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the strut section lies in a plane defined by way of the axis oriented in the vehicle front direction and an axis oriented in the vehicle transverse direction.

3. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the strut section is connected to a carrier which is formed by way of the vehicle front section.

4. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the holding element has two strut sections which extend from the holding section and extend, in each case, in the front direction and, in each case, differently in the vehicle transverse direction of the motor vehicle as far as the vehicle front section such that the two strut sections extend in a V-shaped manner at least in sections.

5. The motor vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein

the holding element has two strut sections which extend from the holding section and extend, in each case, in the front direction and, in each case, differently in the vehicle transverse direction of the motor vehicle as far as the vehicle front section such that the two strut sections extend in a V-shaped manner at least in sections.

6. The motor vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein

the holding element has two strut sections which extend from the holding section and extend, in each case, in the front direction and, in each case, differently in the vehicle transverse direction of the motor vehicle as far as the vehicle front section such that the two strut sections extend in a V-shaped manner at least in sections.

7. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the holding section is configured to hold an on-board electric system battery, an air conditioning compressor, a cooling unit, a charging unit and/or a converter unit.

8. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the motor vehicle is an electric motor vehicle.
