Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle comprising a vehicle body ( 2 ) and a battery ( 3 ) with energy storage devices ( 31 ) and a housing ( 32 ), which at least partially surrounds the energy storage devices ( 31 ), wherein a vehicle-body region ( 21 ) of the vehicle body ( 2 ) forms a part of the housing of the battery ( 3 ), wherein the vehicle-body region ( 21 ) is made from an electrically conductive material or comprises electrically conductive material in order to shield the vehicle against electrical and/or magnetic fields.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle, comprising: a vehicle body ( 2 ); and a battery ( 3 ) with energy storage devices ( 31 ) and a housing ( 32 ), which at least partially surrounds the energy storage devices ( 31 ), wherein a shielding vehicle-body region ( 21 ) of the vehicle body ( 2 ) forms a part of the housing of the battery ( 3 ), wherein the shielding vehicle-body region ( 21 ) is made from an electrically conductive material or comprises electrically conductive material, and wherein an electrically conductive connection is formed between the shielding vehicle-body region and the housing of the battery. 2. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shielding vehicle-body region ( 21 ) forms a cover of the housing. 3. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shielding vehicle-body region ( 21 ) forms a base of the housing. 4. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shielding vehicle-body region forms walls ( 24 , 25 , 26 ) of the housing. 5. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shielding vehicle-body region ( 21 ) is a part of an underbody ( 20 ) of the vehicle. 6. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that the vehicle body ( 2 ) has a recess ( 22 ) in which the energy storage devices ( 31 ) are at least partially arranged. 7. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that the housing of the battery ( 3 ) comprises an electrically conductive material for shielding against electrical and/or magnetic fields of the energy storage device ( 31 ). 8. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that the connection ( 4 ) between the shielding vehicle-body region ( 21 ) and the housing ( 32 ) includes metal resilient contacts. 9. The vehicle according to claim 1 , also comprising an inverter ( 5 ), which is connected to the battery ( 3 ), wherein the inverter ( 5 ) is at least partially shielded by the shielding vehicle-body region ( 21 ). 10. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that the vehicle body ( 2 ) has a recess ( 22 ) in which the energy storage devices ( 31 ) are completely arranged. 11. The vehicle according to claim 1 , characterized in that a cohesive connection is provided between the shielding vehicle-body region ( 21 ) and the housing ( 32 ).
