Abstract: A vehicle includes a compartment, a front room located in front of the compartment, and a drive device unit provided behind the compartment and below a floor panel. The drive device unit includes a drive device accommodating a motor, and a motor controller which controls the motor. The vehicle includes a first cooling device located in the front room and cooling the motor controller, and a second cooling device located below the floor panel and cooling the drive device.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle interior; a front room provided in front of the vehicle interior; an electric motor control device provided at a rear side of the vehicle interior and below a floor panel; a battery provided below the vehicle interior and below the floor panel; a cooling device provided in the front room; a first cooling pipe configured to supply a refrigerant from the cooling device to the electric motor control device; and a second cooling pipe configured to discharge the refrigerant from the electric motor control device to the cooling device. The floor panel has a recessed portion recessed upwards, and the first cooling pipe and the second cooling pipe are accommodated in the recessed portion.

Abstract: The car power source battery apparatus houses a plurality of battery modules in a holder case. Battery modules have batteries connected in a straight-line fashion, and boundary regions between batteries are covered with elastomer cylinders, which can flexibly deform. The outline of elastomer cylinder regions of a battery module is wider than the outline of battery regions not covered by elastomer cylinders. The holder case is divided into a first holder and a second holder to form holding compartments to retain battery modules. The inside shape of a holding compartment is a cylinder shape which is narrower than the outline of elastomer cylinder regions and wider than the outline of battery regions. Elastomer cylinder regions are resiliently compressed by holding compartment inside surfaces to hold battery modules, and cooling gaps are established between battery regions and holding compartment inside surfaces.

Abstract: A power device for a vehicle includes a base portion to be mounted on the vehicle, a resin component having a through hole which is to be fixed to the base portion, a metal sleeve inserted through an internal surface of the through hole of the resin component and having a flange on an opposed surface to the base portion, and a metal screw inserted through the metal sleeve inserted in the through hole of the resin component, thereby fixing the resin component to the base portion through the metal sleeve. The base portion has a female screw member into which a tip portion of the metal screw is to be screwed and has a support member provided on an opposed surface to the metal sleeve. In the power device, the metal screw is inserted through the metal sleeve to screw a screw portion on a tip into the female screw member and fixes the metal sleeve to the base portion, thereby securing the resin component to the base portion.

Abstract: A power device for a vehicle includes a plurality of batteries, a case accommodating the batteries, a blower for forcibly supplying air to the batteries accommodated in the case, thereby cooling them, and a temperature sensor for coming in contact with a surface of the battery to detect a temperature of the battery. A thermal portion for detecting the temperature of the battery of the temperature sensor includes a thermal element to be thermally coupled to the surface of the battery, and a heat insulating material having a cushioning property to be elastically compressed which serves to thermally insulate the thermal element provided on the surface of the battery from the cooling air, and the thermal element is isolated from the cooling air supplied forcibly by means of the heat insulating material having the cushioning property, thereby detecting the temperature of the battery.

Abstract: A power source apparatus has a plurality of the battery modules housed in a case. The battery modules include a plurality of batteries joined in a straight line fashion. These battery modules are connected via bus-bars. Metal plate output terminals are attached to both ends of a battery module in a manner that is perpendicular to, and projecting from the battery end-planes. The case of the power source apparatus houses the battery modules with adjacent battery module output terminals connected via bus-bars.
