DE102009012404A1 - Container for assembly in motor vehicle, comprises electric energy supply unit, and energy storage unit is provided, which is arranged on interior of container - Google Patents

Abstract

The container comprises an electric energy supply unit. An energy storage unit (11) is provided, which is arranged on the interior (9) of the container. The energy storage unit stands in electrical connection with an electrical consumer (10). The electrical consumer is arranged at a cover (5) or at a base (6) of the container.

Description

The The present invention relates to a container for mounting on a motor vehicle.

Such containers are known from the prior art. So revealed the DE 28 56 067 A1 a container for receiving sports articles for mounting on a motor vehicle roof. In this case, the container has a base body and a lid connected via a hinge. Furthermore, the container extends over the entire roof width of the motor vehicle roof and is suitable for receiving various uses.

About that In addition, a container could be used for mounting a motor vehicle is suitable, also have electrical consumers, which facilitate the usability of the container.

Of the Invention is therefore the object of a container to create for mounting on a motor vehicle, which simplifies the operability for receiving and connecting electrical Is suitable for consumers.

These The object is solved by the features of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided that the container for mounting to a motor vehicle, a supply of electrical Energy has. This could be done by arranging a storage medium for electrical energy on or in the container. Advantageously, the storage medium inside the Container should be placed to weather it or manipulation by third parties. The storage medium This should be done with an electrical load in electrical Connection stand. The above measures have to the advantage that the supply of electrical energy and thus the operation of the electrical consumers in one of the motor vehicle independent system can be guaranteed.

In advantageous embodiment of the invention is provided, at least to arrange a photovoltaic element on the container. One Photovoltaic element is an electrical component that the radiant energy contained in the light directly into electrical energy converts. Even so, the supply of electrical consumers, which in at least indirect connection with the at least one photovoltaic Element stand, with electrical energy in one of the motor vehicle independent system. It is therefore at least no electrical connection to the motor vehicle necessary. It is also possible that the through the arrangement of the at least one photovoltaic element on the Outside of the container generated electrical Energy in the electricity supply of a motor vehicle is fed and / or the electricity supply of the Motor vehicle at least supporting the supply of electrical consumers within the container with electrical energy interacts. An electrical consumer is while a component or an electrical appliance, in the electrical Energy is converted into other forms of energy.

In Advantageously, the electrical load on the lid and / or arranged the main body of the container. Thereby is the supply of electrical energy in one of the motor vehicle guaranteed independent system, so that one or more electrical consumers for the purpose of functional relief are arranged on the container, the necessary electrical energy directly from the storage medium arranged on the container can draw electrical energy. So will the functionality the electrical consumer of the container in dismantled from the motor vehicle Condition guaranteed.

there the electrical load can be a light source which inside but also outside the container can be arranged. Thus, the light source can illuminate the contents of the container, if it is located inside the container. Thereby will safely store and retrieve the cargo of the container guaranteed even in the dark of the environment. The order outside the container may be used for ambient lighting but also as part of a lit lettering for advertising purposes serve. Another advantageous electrical consumer for at least partial arrangement outside the container may be suitable for generating acoustic signals and before Unauthorized stealing of the container.

Of the However, electrical loads can also be an actuation aid be. So the lid could by means of spring force opposite be biased to the body. The actuating aid could by radio signal a connection of the lid with the main body Loosen, so that the lid automatically from the main body would swing away to access the container release. This facilitates the loading of the container.

Further electrical loads are also within such Container possible and useful. So could the contents of the container by means of a heating element heated or cooled by a cooling element become.

Advantageously, the container is mounted in the region of a motor vehicle roof. Thus, the container could be designed as a roof box and for mounting on a roof rail of a motor vehicle be suitable. But even in the area of a tailgate or on a bumper, the mounting of such a container would be possible. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the container is formed by the bumper. Thus, any available installation space on a motor vehicle would be made usable for the storage of objects and could participate in the aforementioned advantages.

The Invention will be described below with reference to embodiments explained in detail in conjunction with the drawings.

1 shows a motor vehicle 1 with a on a roof railing 2 a motor vehicle roof 3 attached container 4 which consists of a lid 5 and a main body 6 consists. On the outside 7 of the container is a photovoltaic element 8th arranged.

Also 2 shows a motor vehicle 1 with a on a roof railing 2 a motor vehicle roof 3 attached container 4 which is open, however. On the inside 9 of the lid are an electrical consumer 10 and a storage medium 11 arranged for electrical energy.
