A battery tray for holding battery elements for providing electrical energy in electrically powered vehicles. The battery tray has a battery pan having a reinforcing structure which is arranged on the outside in front of a side wall of the battery pan. The reinforcement structure has a hollow profile with a first upper leg with a first opening and a second lower leg with a second opening. A sleeve extends between the vertically spaced legs and connects the openings in the legs. A fitting plate covers the first opening in the first leg, wherein the fitting plate has a passage through which the sleeve is guided with a sleeve section.

A method for calibrating a metal profile blank configured as a hollow-chamber profile having at least one solid wall. A pressing tool is closed in a main direction about one end region of an element of the profile blank until surfaces of the pressing tool lie against a pair of surfaces of the profile blank to be calibrated, deforming and bending the at least one end region of the element. The pressing tool is closed in a secondary direction perpendicular to the main direction until surfaces of the pressing tool lie against surfaces of the at least one end region, and wedge-like limbs of a drive element of the pressing tool engage wedge-like dies of the pressing tool. The pressing tool is closed further in the secondary direction, subjecting the profile blank to plastic deformation so as to reduce or eliminate the bending of the end region.

In order to produce a battery carrier which has a battery tray with a cooling plate, a tray plate and a cooling plate are joined to one another, wherein the cooling plate has at least one preshaped cooling duct. The tray plate jointly with the cooling plate is then formed by folding to produce the battery tray. During the folding of the tray plate and the cooling plate, a cooling duct section is bent around a bottom edge of the battery tray. The cooling duct is provided with connection elements via which a cooling fluid is supplied and discharged. During the course of the finishing, end shape-producing shaping of the cooling duct can also be performed. Internal pressure is applied to the cooling duct in order to restore the shape of the cooling duct which collapsed due to the forming.

Method for producing a battery carrier and battery carrier

The disclosure relates to a method for producing a battery carrier for an electric battery module of a vehicle configured to electrically operate, the method may include: providing a material blank with a blank region; providing a heat exchanger structure in the blank region, that comprises hollow channels that are inseparably connected to the material blank, wherein the hollow channels are provided to regulate a temperature of the electric battery module using a fluid; and forming the material blank into a support tray with a tray base configured to support the electric battery module and with sidewalls that delimit the tray base at the sides of the tray base, wherein the tray base is developed from the blank region.

Method for producing a battery carrier for the mounting of an electric battery module

A battery carrier for an electric vehicle that has a trough with a frame and/or struts running in the trough. The frame and/or the struts are produced from hollow profiles, such as extruded lightweight metal profiles, which are connected by means of materially bonded joining. At least one lightweight metal profile has been geometrically calibrated at one end portion, which has a chamfer on a top side, wherein the thermal joining seam is arranged in the chamfer.
