Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An energy storage housing for assembly on the lower face of a vehicle includes a first sub-housing which surrounds a first plurality of energy storage modules, a second sub-housing which surrounds a second plurality of electric energy storage modules, and a connection channel which connects the first sub-housing to the second sub-housing. The connection channel has a variable length. A vehicle is equipped with such an energy storage housing or a set of energy storage housings, wherein in a set all first sub-housings of the set are identical, all second sub-housings of the set are identical, and the connection channels of the energy storage housings of the set have different lengths.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An energy storage housing for assembly on a lower face of a vehicle, comprising: a first sub-housing, which surrounds a first plurality of energy storage modules; a second sub-housing, which surrounds a second plurality of energy storage modules; and a connection channel, which connects the first to the second sub-housing, wherein the connection channel is variable in length. 2 . The energy storage housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second sub-housings are each substantially formed rectangularly. 3 . The energy storage housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection channel is provided with a bellows at least in sections. 4 . The energy storage housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection channel comprises sections that are slidable into one another in a telescoping manner. 5 . A vehicle, comprising an energy storage housing as claimed in claim 1 . 6 . The vehicle as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first and second sub-housings each extend at least over half of a width of a lower face of the vehicle. 7 . The vehicle as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first sub-housing is arranged behind a foot region, which is assigned to a seat installation, which is arranged behind a driver's seat. 8 . An energy storage housing set, comprising: two or more energy storage housings, each for assembly on a lower face of a vehicle, wherein each energy storage housing is formed with a first sub-housing, which surrounds a first plurality of energy storage modules, a second sub-housing, which surrounds a second plurality of energy storage modules, and a connection channel, which connects the first to the second sub-housing, wherein all first sub-housings of the set are identical, all second sub-housings of the set are identical, and the connection channels of the energy storage housing set have different lengths. 9 . The set as claimed in claim 8 , wherein in each of the energy storage housings, the first sub-housing, the second sub-housing and the connection channel are not non-destructively detachably connected to one another.
