Battery unit and hybrid vehicle with a battery unit

A liquid container for a motor vehicle, having a first half-shell and a second half-shell, the half-shells delimiting a storage volume for accommodating liquid, the first half-shell having a first support layer and a first barrier layer, the second half-shell having a second support layer and a second barrier layer, the first barrier being situated on a side of the first support layer facing the storage volume, and the second barrier layer being situated on a side of the second support layer facing the storage volume.

Liquid container and method for manufacturing a liquid container

A reinforcing element for a liquid container for a motor vehicle, having at least one connecting section for connecting the reinforcing element to the liquid container, the connecting section having at least a first and a second web which are made from a first material and are enclosed at least in sections by a second material, the second material penetrating through openings of the webs, and the first web being at a smaller spacing from a longitudinal axis of the reinforcing element than the second web.

Stiffening element for a liquid container for a motor vehicle and liquid container for a motor vehicle with a stiffening element

The present invention discloses an operating liquid container system comprising at least one operating fluid container, a quality and/or filling level sensor arranged in the operating liquid container, for determining at least one quality characteristic of the operating liquid contained in the operating liquid container and/or a filling level of the operating liquid container, and a display device arranged in a tank recess and/or tank flap of the operating fluid container system, wherein the display device is connected to the quality and/or filling level sensor by means of a data line for transmitting data from the quality and/or filling level sensor to the display device, wherein the data represents at least one quality characteristic of the operating liquid contained in the operating liquid container and/or the filling level of the operating liquid container.

Operating liquid container system for motor vehicles with improved misfuelling protection

The invention relates to a fuel container () of thermoplastic plastics material having an upper base () and a lower base () which are supported against each other by means of at least one column-like support element (), wherein the support element () is connected in a positive-locking manner and/or materially engaging manner to a wall () of the upper base on the one hand and to a wall () of the lower base on the other hand in such a manner that it can absorb tensile forces and/or pressure forces, wherein the support element () is constructed in several pieces and the support element is divided longitudinally and comprises at least two segments () which complement each other in cross-section and which form a common support face at the end side.

Fuel container

An article enclosing at least one built-in fitment component in the form of a hollow body of thermoplastic material. The hollow body is preferably in the form of a fuel tank. The built-in fitment component is pressed against the inside wall of the article while still plastic so that the plastic material of the hollow body penetrates through at least one recess or opening of the built-in fitment component and flows therebehind.

Container of thermoplastic material

The present invention discloses an operating fluid container () made of thermoplastic material for a motor vehicle and a method for equipping an operating fluid container with a stiffening element (). The operating fluid container () here has the following features:

Operating fluid container having a stiffening element

The invention relates to a method for producing hollow bodies from thermoplastic material comprising the shaping of at least one tubular preform or at least two two-dimensional, web-like preforms of plasticated thermoplastic material into a substantially closed hollow body, for example in the form of a fuel tank for motor vehicles.

Method of producing a hollow body from thermoplastic material

The invention relates to a plastic fuel tank () for motor vehicles having at least one tank wall () surrounding at least one fuel volume, wherein the tank wall () is provided at least in a certain area or certain areas with means for increasing flexural rigidity in the form of two-dimensionally extended reinforcing layers () connected materially and/or positively thereto (FIG.).

Plastic fuel tank

A fuel tank for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one fuel delivery pump arranged in the fuel tank inside a surge tank provided therein, at least one suction jet pump fed from the feed of the fuel delivery pump for filling the surge tank or for draining at least one further volume arranged inside the fuel tank or formed by the fuel tank into the surge tank or into the volume of the fuel tank in which the surge tank is arranged. The fuel tank according to the invention is characterized in that at least one suction jet pump is connected, in that it takes fuel alternately, depending on the tank fill level, from several volumes arranged or formed inside the fuel tank or it can be operated intermittently depending on the tank fill level.

Fuel tank for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a fuel tank for a motor vehicle, which is made up of two shells which are complementary to one another, wherein the shells are supported against one another by at least one strut penetrating the tank (), connecting opposing wall regions of the tank. The strut is configured as a two-part hollow strut (), wherein the parts of the hollow strut are latched together via a plug connection and the latching connection is secured by at least one closure body () at least partially filling up the cross section of the hollow strut () at least level with the latching connection.

Tank for a motor vehicle, in particular fuel or auxiliary fluid tank for a motor vehicle, and method for producing such a tank

The invention concerns a process for the production of an article enclosing built-in fitment components in the form of a hollow body of thermoplastic material. The hollow body is preferably in the form of a fuel tank. The process includes the extrusion of one or more preforms in web or tube form of plasticized material between the opened portions of a mold tool forming a cavity, wherein at least one built-in fitment component to be enclosed by the finished article is placed between the portions of the mold tool and the tool is closed around the preforms and the built-in fitment component, wherein the preforms within the cavity enclosed by the tool acquire the external configuration of the article. The built-in fitment component is pressed during or directly after the shaping operation against the inside wall of the article while still plastic so that the plastic material of the hollow body penetrates through at least one recess or opening of the built-in fitment component and flows therebehind.

Method for producing a container of thermoplastic material

The invention relates to a motor vehicle fuel tank () of thermoplastics having at least one filler neck () not moulded on in one piece, the latter being connected in a fluid-tight manner to the fuel tank (), wherein the filler neck () is inserted into an opening () in the fuel tank () and is sealed by sealing means () at its outer circumference relative to the fuel tank () in the opening (). The filler neck () is clamped axially against the tank wall (), with the seal acting radially.
