Abstract

The invention relates to a battery support for an electric motor vehicle, having a tray for holding batteries, with a base and a peripheral side wall and a cover, wherein the cover is formed as a hood and the peripheral side wall is formed by a peripheral frame composed of hollow profiles, wherein the frame is coupled to a base, wherein the hood, in the closed state, is mounted on the hollow profile, and a cooling system is formed below the base, and in that a protective base is arranged below the base, in particular below the cooling system.

Claims (10)

1. Battery support for an electric motor vehicle, having a tray for holding batteries, with a base and a peripheral side wall and a cover, wherein the cover is formed as a hood and the peripheral side wall is formed by a peripheral frame composed of hollow profiles, wherein the frame is coupled to a base, wherein the hood, in the closed state, is mounted on the hollow profile, and a cooling system is formed below the base, and in that a protective base is arranged below the base and below the cooling system.

2. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein the hood is produced from a metallic material as a cast component or as a fold component from a sheet metal.

3. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling system is formed by a cooling duct plate which is coupled to the base in a fluid-tight manner such that cooling ducts for the passage of a fluid are formed between the cooling duct plate and the base.

4. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow profile of the frame is screwed to the base, with a sealing compound being introduced.

5. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow profile has a protruding web at its top side, and/or in that the hollow profile has a protruding web at its bottom side, such that, when the hollow profile is coupled to the hood and/or the hollow profile is coupled to the base, a defined gap remains.

6. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein the base and the cooling duct plate are screwed to the frame.

7. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein the protective base are formed from hollow profiles, wherein preferably multiple hollow profiles are plugged one into the other by means of a tongue and groove plug-in system.

8. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein a cover plate is arranged laterally with respect to the protective base.

9. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein an underride guard plate is arranged below the hollow profiles of the protective base.

10. Battery support according to claim 1 , wherein holders for coupling to and/or receiving batteries are attached to the frame at the inside.
