Abstract

A tray element is provided for a motor vehicle. The tray element can be arranged in a stowage region of the motor vehicle and has at least one receiving tray open at the top in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle for at least partially receiving at least one battery ( 14 ) of the motor vehicle. The tray element is designed as a die-cast component made of a light metal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A component for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a high-pressure die cast light weight metal tray element configured to be arranged in a loading space region of the motor vehicle, wherein
the tray element has at least one receiving recess open toward a top in a vertical direction of the motor vehicle, and
the at least one receiving recess is configured to receive at least one battery of the motor vehicle, wherein
the high-pressure die cast light weight metal tray element is formed in a single piece and comprises at least one fastening element configured to fasten the battery to the tray element, and
the fastening element is configured as a positively locking element by which a top side of a corresponding battery-side fastening element is covered in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle.

2. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the tray element is an aluminum tray element.

3. An arrangement for a motor vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
the component according to claim 1 ; and
a battery, wherein
the battery is arranged in the at least one receiving recess of the tray element.

4. The arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the battery is clamped fixedly on the tray element.

5. A component for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a high-pressure die cast light weight metal tray element configured to be arranged in a loading space region of the motor vehicle, wherein
the tray element has at least one receiving recess open toward a top in a vertical direction of the motor vehicle,
the at least one receiving recess is configured to receive at least one battery of the motor vehicle,
the tray element includes at least one attaching device with at least two attaching elements,
a stiffening strut is fixed on each of the at least two attaching elements, and
the stiffening struts run obliquely with respect to one another and being oblique with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction below the vehicle floor of the passenger motor vehicle so as to stiffen the vehicle body of the passenger motor vehicle.

6. The component according to claim 5 , wherein the stiffening struts are torsion struts.

7. The component according to claim 5 , wherein the stiffening struts are thrust struts.

8. The component according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one receiving recess has at least one fastening element for fastening the battery thereto.

9. The component according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one fastening element is a form-locking element, by means of which a corresponding fastening-side element in the direction of the vehicle is coverable from above.

10. The component according to claim 9 , wherein the high-pressure die cast light weight metal is aluminum.

11. A passenger car comprising:
a well element that is arrangeable in a stowage-space region of the passenger car and that has at least one receiving well which is open upwards in a vertical direction of the passenger car for at least partially receiving at least one battery of the passenger car, wherein
the well element is formed as a die cast component from a lightweight metal, and
the well element has at least one attachment means with at least two attachment elements, with stiffening struts being fixed on the well element on the at least two attachment elements, the stiffening struts running obliquely to each other and obliquely to a longitudinal direction of the passenger car beneath a floor of the passenger car, and the stiffening struts bracing a body of the passenger car.

12. The passenger car according to claim 11 , wherein the stiffening struts are torsion struts.

13. The passenger car according to claim 11 , wherein the stiffening struts are thrust struts.
