Abstract
The invention provides a battery tray for holding a battery, comprising: a tray housing; wherein a layer of electrically conductive tracks is arranged on or above a continuous first layer of the tray housing on the concave side thereof, and wherein a plurality of electrically readable deformation measuring structures is formed in the layer of electrically conductive tracks at least on a flat section of the tray housing.
Claims20
A battery tray for accommodating a battery, comprising:
- a tray housing;
- wherein a layer of electrically conductive tracks is arranged on or above a continuous first layer of the tray housing on the concave side thereof, and
- wherein a plurality of electrically readable deformation measuring structures is formed in the layer of electrically conductive tracks at least on a flat section of the tray housing.
A method of manufacturing a battery tray, comprising at least the steps of:
- applying a plurality of electrically readable deformation measuring structures to or over a section of a flat metallic blank;
- and
- forming the flat metallic blank with the applied deformation measuring structures into a tray housing.
A method of manufacturing a battery tray, comprising at least the steps of:
- applying a plurality of electrically readable deformation measuring structures to or over a metallic plate;
- and
- fastening the metallic plate with the insulating layer attached to it to the inside of a tray bottom of a metallic tray shape.
