The first lower surface 114 of the first cover element 110 and the second upper surface 122 of the second cover element 120 are opposite each other and, when assembled, form a receiving space 130 for vehicle lines. In particular, the first cover element 110 forms an upper boundary of the receiving space 130, and the second cover element 120 forms a lower boundary of the receiving space 130.

[0060] The first cover element 110 can be a lid or an upper shell of the receiving device 100. In some embodiments, the first cover element 110 can be a single cover element and / or formed in one piece, for example by injection molding and / or made of plastic.

[0061] Additionally or alternatively, the second deck element 120 can be elongated. In particular, the second deck element 120 can be a cross member and / or a transverse profile. The longitudinal extent of the second deck element 120 can be essentially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle if the second deck element 120 is mounted on the first deck element 110 or on the vehicle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second deck element 120 can be a plurality of second deck elements, such as a plurality of cross members. The second deck elements 120 can be mounted or are mounted substantially equidistant on the at least one first deck element 110 or on the vehicle. In other words, the distance between adjacent second deck elements 120, e.g., along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, can be substantially constant. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the distance between adjacent second deck elements 120 can vary in some embodiments, e.g., along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle (not shown).

[0063] The receiving device 100 further comprises at least one connecting element 140 between the first underside 114 of the first cover element 110 and the second topside 122 of the second cover element 120.

In further embodiments, the at least one first recess 118 of the first cover element 110 and / or the at least one second recess 128 of the second cover element 120 can be partially recessed and partially project from the respective cover element.

[0072] In some embodiments, the receiving device 100 may have at least one opening that connects the receiving chamber 130 to an environment. This at least one opening may, for example, be provided for ventilation and / or cooling of the conduits.

[0073] Figure 2 shows a partially disassembled receiving device 100 for cables on a vehicle according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0074] For maintenance of the vehicle and / or the lines, the mounting device 100 can be partially disassembled by detaching the second cover element 120 from the first cover element 110, while the first cover element 110 remains attached to the vehicle. In particular, the second fastening elements 160 can be removed from the corresponding connecting elements 140, especially by unscrewing them, in order to remove the second cover element 120 and allow access to the lines from below.

[0075] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a receiving device 300 for lines 20 on a vehicle according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0076] In the example of the Figure 3 In its assembled state, the underside of the receiving device 300 is positioned in the vehicle such that it faces an energy storage device 30 of the vehicle.

[0087] In a first example of the inventive method 700, the first cover element can first be attached to the vehicle, then the lines can be arranged on the underside of the first cover element, and finally the second cover element can be attached to the first cover element and thus to the vehicle.

[0088] In a second example of the inventive method 700, the cables can first be arranged on the underside of the first cover element, and then the second cover element can be attached to the first cover element. The cable duct thus formed can then subsequently be connected to the vehicle.

[0089] In some embodiments, method 700 may further include disassembling the cable duct, for example, for maintenance of the vehicle and / or the cables. The disassembly may involve detaching the second cover element from the first cover element while the first cover element is or remains attached to the vehicle in order to remove the second cover element. In particular, the second fastening elements may be removed from the corresponding connecting elements, especially unscrewed, in order to remove the second cover element and allow access to the cables from below.

[0090] According to the invention, the upper and lower cover elements are fastened using the same connecting element, such as a long nut. For example, the upper cover element can first be attached to the vehicle from above by screwing a screw into the long nut, and then the lower cover element can be attached to the upper cover element by screwing another screw into the long nut from below. The cables are located between the upper and lower cover elements, so that the upper and lower cover elements form a cable duct for the cables.

[0091] Although the invention has been further illustrated and explained in detail by means of preferred embodiments, the invention is not limited by the disclosed examples, and other variations can be derived from them by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the invention. It is therefore clear that a multitude of possible variations exist.
