Abstract

A stored energy source for a motor vehicle has a bottom plate, by which battery modules in question are at least indirectly supported and by which the stored energy source is delimited at the bottom. In order to provide a stored energy source that is optimized with respect to its behavior during an accident and with respect to the vehicle package and does not require any installation space in the interior of the motor vehicle, the stored energy source has at least one line, which runs above the bottom plate and exits the stored energy source at a front and a rear end.

Claims (22)

1. An energy store for a motor vehicle, comprising:

a bottom panel, by way of which bottom panel respective battery modules are supported at least indirectly, and by way of which bottom panel the energy store is delimited toward a bottom; and

at least one line of the energy store runs above the bottom panel, exits from the energy store at a front and a rear end, and penetrates an opening in at least one crossmember adjoined to the bottom panel and energy store.

2. The energy store according to claim 1 , wherein

the energy store is delimited toward a top by way of a vehicle floor and at the front and rear end by way of respective crossmembers.

3. The energy store according to claim 2 , wherein

the energy store is assigned at least one additional longitudinal carrier or crossmember which is arranged on an upper side of the vehicle floor for reinforcement of the floor assembly.

4. The energy store according to claim 2 , further comprising:

at least one individual housing for respective battery modules, wherein individual housing is non-load-bearing, and

the individual housing is supported by the bottom panel.

5. The energy store according to claim 4 , wherein

a plurality of said individual housings extend parallel to one another.

6. The energy store according to claim 4 , further comprising:

in each case, one retaining profile arranged on the lower side of the vehicle floor to the side of the respective individual housing, via which retaining profile the respective housing is connected to the vehicle floor.

7. The energy store according to claim 6 , wherein

the respective housing is clamped between the respective retaining profile and the bottom panel via a clamping strip.

8. The energy store according to claim 1 , wherein

the line is received in a continuous line duct.

9. The energy store according to claim 1 , wherein

the line is received on holders which are spaced apart from one another.

10. The energy store according to claim 1 , wherein

the line is fastened at least indirectly to the bottom panel.
