AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing floor arrangements in electrified motor vehicles face challenges in ensuring airtight sealing of battery module housings due to gaps between the floor and bearing surfaces, particularly at the front, which are difficult to eliminate without compromising mechanical tolerances.
Method used
A floor arrangement with lateral longitudinal members, cross members, and an upper floor featuring bosses and flanges that support a sealing gasket, allowing it to fill gaps and ensure airtight closure of the battery module housing.
Benefits of technology
The solution effectively seals the battery module housing airtight by reducing gaps and preventing leaks, while maintaining compatibility with automotive industry tolerances and providing an economical, easy-to-implement design.

Abstract
The invention relates to a floor arrangement (1) for an electrified motor vehicle, the floor arrangement (1) comprising an upper floor (12) which serves as a cover for a housing containing an electric traction battery module for the electrified motor vehicle. The upper floor (12) is supported by side rails (11) and transverse cross members (14). At a front edge, the upper floor (12) rests on the front cross member (14) via flanges (13) extending between a peripheral rim (121) of the upper floor (12) and an internal rebate of the side rails (11).To allow the placement and retention of a sealing gasket (15) under the peripheral edge (121) of the upper floor (12), the inner rebate of the side stringers (11) has a boss (111) extending forward of the corresponding flange (13), the boss (111) being predominantly oriented along the vertical axis (Z). Figure to be published with the abbreviation: Fig. 2.
