The assembly flange of at least one side wall reaches the maximum width thereof only in some sections. In contrast, the assembly flange has only a reduced width in the other sections. In addition, the battery housing comprises at least two tub parts, which are brought into engagement by means of the assembly flanges thereof facing each other.
Claims20
A battery housing for an electric-motor-driven vehicle comprising:
- a tub part assembly of at least two tub parts, each of the at least two tub parts comprising a bottom, side walls formed on the bottom, and an assembly flange protruding outward from the side walls;
- wherein the at least two tub parts are arranged next to another in the tub part assembly and engaged by their assembly flanges facing each other;
- wherein each assembly flange reaches its maximum width only in a few sections along at least one side wall and in contrast thereto, the assembly flange has only a reduced width in the other sections along the at least one side wall;
- wherein the assembly flanges of adjacent tub parts facing each other are constructed in a complementary manner, such that the sections of maximum width of the assembly flange of one adjacent tub part engage in complementary sections of reduced width of the assembly flange of the other adjacent tub part;
- and
- wherein top surfaces of the sections of maximum width and the sections of reduced width of the assembly flanges of adjacent tubs parts form a continuous plane.
