A battery housing for a vehicle driven by an electric motor comprises a tray part with a bottom and side walls formed thereon, for receiving at least one battery module. The side walls of the tray part are respectively interconnected by a curved edge section. Said battery housing is characterized in that each curved edge section of the tray part is connected to at least one of the side walls connected thereby, with a connecting wall section curved in the opposite direction to the curved edge section being connected between the respective curved edge sections and side walls, and the side walls as well as each curved edge section and each curved connecting wall section are at a distance from the, or the plurality of, battery module(s).

Battery housing for a vehicle driven by an electric motor

A battery case for a vehicle driven by an electric motor, said battery case comprising a tray part () which has a base () onto which side walls () having a mounting flange () are molded, and comprising a frame structure () which surrounds the tray part () on the outer side thereof and has a hollow chamber (). The side walls () of the tray part () are at the same time part of the frame structure () and separate the tray interior from the hollow chamber () of the frame structure (). The side walls () with their mounting flange () are part of the frame structure () and the frame structure () has at least two additional frame members () connected to the tray part () for completing the frame structure (), of which a first frame member () has a leg () which is opposite the side wall () of the tray part () and an upper terminating leg () for connection to the tray part (), and of which a second frame member is a closing plate () that connects the first frame member () to the tray part () on the undersides thereof.
