| 20090129044 | Harness Routing Structure - A harness routing structure comprises: a battery case that defines an internal space which houses a battery and an electric appliance on a hybrid motor vehicle, and that is formed of a first member; a reinforcement that is provided in the battery case, and that is formed of a second member having a greater strength than the first member and that reinforces the battery case; and a harness routed at a position along the reinforcement. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090167077 | POWER SUPPLY DEVICE AND VEHICLE - A power supply device to be mounted on a vehicle includes a battery module, a power storage casing for accommodating the battery module, a DC/DC converter stepping down an output voltage of the battery module to a first voltage and a DC/DC converter stepping down the output voltage of the battery module into a second voltage. The battery module, DC/DC converter and DC/DC converter are fixed to the power storage casing. This structure provides the power supply device of small sizes capable of supplying electricity of three or more kinds of voltages. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090183935 | STRUCTURE FOR MOUNTING POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS ON VEHICLE - A structure for mounting a power supply apparatus on a vehicle includes a driver's seat and a passenger's seat installed within a vehicle compartment and aligned in the vehicle width direction, an instrument panel provided at the vehicle front inside the vehicle compartment and equipped with electronics, a battery pack assembly located between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, and wire harnesses electrically connected to the battery pack assembly. The vehicle front side and the vehicle upper side of the wire harnesses face the battery pack assembly. With the above-described configuration, there is provided a structure for mounting a power supply apparatus on a vehicle where the electronics provided at the instrument panel are appropriately protected from an electromagnetic wave. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100047686 | ELECTRODE STRUCTURE AND BATTERY DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - An electrode is provided with a metal terminal extending from a battery module main body, a bolt which has an expanded section configuring a retaining section at a rear end portion and penetrates the metal terminal upward, and an insulating body which insulates the metal terminal and the battery module case one from the other. The insulating body is provided with a drop preventing section which abuts at least a lower surface of the expanded section of the bolt and prevents the bolt from dropping from the metal terminal. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20110092111 | ELECTRODE STRUCTURE - An electrode structure for connecting a battery module to a bus bar is provided. When a bolt is in advance passed through and temporarily fixed to a metal terminal to be connected to a bus bar, the metal terminal is fixed on a lid, and the lid is attached to a body of a battery module, there was a problem that metal powder generated by the friction between the metal terminal and the bolt intrudes into the battery. A solution to the problem is provided by an electrode structure including a metal terminal having a base and a tip end, the base fixed to a body of a battery module, the tip end spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the body of the battery module and connected to a bus bar, a nut arranged between the tip end of the metal terminal and the body of the battery module, a rotation stopper in abutment with the nut and preventing the nut from slipping when fastening the bus bar, and a screw shaft screwed into the nut and penetrating through the tip end of the metal terminal and the bus bar. | 04-21-2011 |
