Device for protecting high voltage battery in e.g. electric car during collision of vehicle, has structural elements arranged at high voltage battery, and high voltage battery shifted out from held position and/or from collision region

摘要

The device has inflatable structural elements (4) i.e. airbags, arranged at a high voltage battery (1) such that the inflatable structural element is firmly bonded and secured at a side surface of the high voltage battery. The high voltage battery is shifted out from a held position during collision of the vehicle and/or from a collision region. The structural element rests against a vehicle part (3), and a housing (2) of the high voltage battery is enlarged according to movement of the vehicle part and/or the high voltage battery.
