20100147260 | DIRECT FUEL-INJECTION ENGINE - A direct fuel-injection engine includes a piston, a cavity recessed in a central part of a top face of the piston, and a fuel injector. At a main injection collision point of a fuel-injection axis when main injection is performed while the piston is near top dead center, a main injection collision angle formed between its tangent and the fuel-injection axis is set at an obtuse angle. Fuel colliding with the main injection collision point is deflected towards a cavity open end side. At a secondary injection collision point of the fuel-injection axis when performing secondary injection with the piston is further from top dead center, a secondary injection collision angle formed between its tangent and the fuel-injection axis is set at one of a right angle and an acute angle. Fuel colliding with the secondary injection collision point is deflected primarily in the circumferential direction of the cavity. | 06-17-2010 |

20140370340 | BATTERY COOLING STRUCTURE - A battery cooling structure in which a heat transfer sheet that can be deformed by pressure is held between a cooling plate and a cooling surface of a battery module in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked, and heat of the battery module is transferred from the cooling surface to the cooling plate via the heat transfer sheet to thus carry out cooling, wherein the cooling plate is a hollow member in which a cooling medium passage is formed for a cooling medium to flow, and the heat transfer sheet is formed so as to have a larger thickness in a middle part than in an outer peripheral part. | 12-18-2014 |
20140374180 | STRUCTURE FOR MOUNTING BATTERY PACK ON VEHICLE - In a structure for mounting a battery pack on a vehicle, even if a battery case housing a plurality of batteries is disposed beneath a floor panel, due to an internal cable within the battery case being disposed above the batteries, it is possible to prevent the internal cable from becoming wet. Furthermore, if the internal cable disposed above the batteries were connected to an external cable via a high voltage connector without changing the height, the height of the floor panel would increase to thus constrain the vehicle compartment space, but since the high voltage connector is disposed at a position that is lower than the upper end of the battery, it is possible to decrease the height of the floor panel by disposing the external cable at a low position, thereby ensuring the vehicle compartment space. | 12-25-2014 |
20150044538 | STRUCTURE FOR SECURING BATTERY - When a battery is supported on a cooling plate, since a heat transfer sheet, which is deformable by pressure, is held between the cooling plate and a cooling surface of the battery, it is possible to efficiently transfer the heat of the battery from the cooling surface to the cooling plate via the heat transfer sheet, thereby enhancing the effect in cooling the battery. Since the heat transfer sheet includes a plurality of through holes, compared with a case in which a heat transfer sheet does not include the through hole, the reaction force generated by restoration of the compressively deformed heat transfer sheet to its original shape is decreased, thus reducing the load acting on a mounting flange securing the battery to the cooling plate and thereby preventing the mounting flange from being broken. | 02-12-2015 |
