Abstract
In the case of a battery support frame for an electric vehicle battery, said support frame being optimized in terms of tightness, compensation of component tolerances and load absorption in particular in the event of a crash, provision is made for a corner element to be arranged as tolerance compensation between a longitudinal profile and a transverse profile, the longitudinal profile and transverse profile being connected together via said corner element.
Claims15
A battery support frame for an electric vehicle comprising:
- a longitudinal profile and a transverse profile, wherein the support frame has at least one support frame corner forming an internal angle;
- a corner element arranged as tolerance compensation between the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile, the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile being connected together via the corner element,
- wherein the longitudinal profile and/or the transverse profile is a multi-chamber profile and has internal webs, and the corner element has, on its outside, at least one reinforcing rib that engages around the outside of the corner element, wherein the at least one reinforcing rib is arranged between a top side and an underside of the corner element at the level of an internal web of the longitudinal profile and/or of the transverse profile such that the reinforcing rib continues the corresponding internal web of the longitudinal profile and/or of the transverse profile.
A battery support frame for an electric vehicle comprising:
- a longitudinal profile and a transverse profile, wherein the support frame has at least one support frame corner forming an internal angle;
- a corner element arranged as tolerance compensation between the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile, the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile being connected together via the corner element, the corner element having opposed connecting faces, wherein each of the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile is connected to the corner element by way of the opposed connecting faces,
- wherein one of the opposed connecting faces is in an actual abutment orientation deviating from a nominal abutment orientation, and
- wherein the other of the opposed connecting faces is oriented towards the respective other of the one of the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile in the nominal abutment orientation.
A battery support frame for an electric vehicle comprising:
- a longitudinal profile and a transverse profile, wherein the support frame has at least one support frame corner forming an internal angle;
- a corner element arranged as tolerance compensation between the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile, the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile being connected together via the corner element, the corner element having opposed connecting faces, wherein each of the longitudinal profile and the transverse profile is connected to the corner element by way of the opposed connecting faces,
- wherein one of the opposed connecting faces is in an orientation corresponding to the nominal abutment orientation and,
- wherein the other of the opposed connecting faces is correctively finish machined.
