Abstract

An energy-store floor assembly for a motor vehicle includes an electrical energy-store device which has a plurality of battery modules and is accommodated in a multi-part store housing and arranged on the bottom side of a vehicle floor of the motor vehicle. In order that the store housing can be adapted to the shape of the motor vehicle body and/or to components of the energy-store device in an improved way, housing parts of the store housing are interconnected by at least one gas-tight connection, which has an uneven course with respect to the vehicle vertical direction in at least one length region.

Claims (20)

1. An energy storage floor assembly for a motor vehicle having an electrical energy storage device with a plurality of battery modules, comprising:

a multi-part storage housing configured to accommodate the storage device, the storage device being arranged on an underside of a vehicle floor of the motor vehicle, wherein

respective housing parts of the multi-part storage housing are connected by at least one gastight connection which has an uneven course in at least one longitudinal region relative to a vertical vehicle direction.

2. The energy storage floor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein

the vehicle floor is configured as a housing part of the multi-part storage housing and is connected to at least one other housing part of the storage housing by way of the gastight connection, the other housing part being outside of a body shell of the motor vehicle.

3. The energy storage floor assembly according to claim 2 , wherein

the gastight connection between the vehicle floor and the at least one other housing part runs in a center region of the energy storage floor assembly in a main connection plane, and

the at least one longitudinal region of the gastight connection lying outside the main connection plane runs in a rear end region and/or a front end region of the energy storage floor assembly.

4. The energy storage floor assembly according to claim 3 , wherein

the main connection plane extends at least substantially horizontally.

5. The energy storage floor assembly according to claim 3 , wherein

the at least one longitudinal region of the gastight connection lying outside the main connection plane extends upwards, at least substantially in the vertical vehicle direction, in the rear end region and/or in the front end region of the energy storage floor assembly, starting from the main connection plane.

6. The energy storage floor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one longitudinal region of the gastight connection, which has an uneven course relative to the vertical vehicle direction, delimits a receiving space region of the storage housing, which receiving space region has a larger cross section in relation to a further receiving space region of the storage housing.

7. The energy storage floor assembly according to claim 2 , wherein

the gastight connection of the other housing part, and of the vehicle floor, comprises a plurality of mechanical connection elements which are arranged outside of a seal running in the region of the gastight connection.

8. The energy storage floor assembly according to claim 2 , wherein

the other housing part is configured as a floor element which is on the outside of the body shell.

9. The energy storage floor assembly according to claim 2 , wherein

the vehicle floor has a one-part design or a two-part design, and the other housing part has a one-part design.
