  • Publication number: 20220196206
    Abstract: A high-pressure tank that enables end portions of a first reinforcing layer wound around a body of a liner to sufficiently contribute to the strength of dome portions of the tank. In the high-pressure tank, a reinforcing layer includes the first reinforcing layer that covers the body and a second reinforcing layer that covers the first reinforcing layer and side end portions of the liner. The first reinforcing layer includes a hoop reinforcing layer formed through hoop winding of a resin-containing fiber bundle in a midsection of the body, and a helical reinforcing layer arranged in parallel with the hoop reinforcing layer along the axis direction of the high-pressure tank and formed through helical winding of the fiber bundle in a section on at least one end side of the midsection, the helical reinforcing layer forming a part of the dome portions.

  • Patent number: 10507736
    Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle, which is capable of preventing direct input of an impact to an external power feeding device that stores a high-voltage component, and is capable of protecting the external power feeding device. A vehicle 100 includes: an external power feeding device 70 that stores a high-voltage component for performing external power feeding; and a secondary battery 60 that stores a part of electric power, both of which are provided in a rear in a travel direction of the vehicle 100. The external power feeding device 70 is disposed in front of a rear end 61 of the secondary battery 60, and is disposed below a lower end 62 of the secondary battery 60 in a vertical direction when viewed from a side.

  • Patent number: 9849847
    Abstract: Provided is a connector cover structure that can fasten a connector cover without support for the connector cover with a finger and showing a high degree of assembly of a cover member in fabrication. The connector cover structure covers connects 61 and 62 for passage of high-voltage current provided in a casing 51 housing a high-voltage component in a vehicle 10. The connector cover structure includes connector covers 71 and 72 each having a flat surface along a vertical direction, first anchoring parts 91 and second anchoring parts 74 provided in the connector covers 71 and 72, fastening holes 92 formed in the connector covers 71 and 72 and configured to fasten the connector covers 71 and 72 to the casing 51, and float preventing mechanisms 95 for pressing the surfaces of the connector covers 71 and 72.
