Patent number: 8409749Abstract: A battery unit comprises a battery case, and a plurality of battery modules stored and held in the battery case. The battery case includes a bottom wall and a partition. The plurality of battery modules are mounted on the bottom wall. The partition is provided and erected on the bottom wall. The partition separates the battery modules adjacent in a second direction traversing a first direction. The first direction is oriented from a first end of the battery case at which an inlet is formed to a second end at which an outlet is formed. The partition extends along a plane where the battery modules face each other in the second direction along the battery modules. The partition is inclined in the extending direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignees: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishi Jidosha Engineering Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Haruchika Nishino, Takeshi Ibuki, Seiichi Takasaki

Patent number: 7997368Abstract: A battery case for containing therein battery modules includes a tray member, cover member, and seal member. The seal member is applied to a joint part between the tray member and cover member. Insert members made of metal are embedded in the resin of the tray member. Each of the insert members is provided with an embedded bolt a threaded part of which protrudes upward, and embedded nuts. The battery case is provided with first fastening sections and second fastening sections. In the first fastening section, a nut member is screwed onto the embedded bolt from above the cover member. In the second fastening section, a bolt member is screwed into the embedded nut from above the cover members.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignees: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishi Jidosha Engineering Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Seiichi Takasaki, Takeshi Ibuki, Haruchika Nishino

Patent number: 7749644Abstract: A structure for mounting a battery onto an electric vehicle comprises: a high-voltage cable, which is disposed between at least one of first body members of the vehicle and a battery case containing a battery, connecting the battery and an external device disposed outside of the battery case; and a dent portion being formed on a side surface of the battery case faces to the first body member. The dent portion includes a concave side wall, which faces the first body member, having a cable hole portion through which the high-voltage cable is installed. The concave side wall is kept at a distance from the first body member defined based on a diameter of the high-voltage cable.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2007Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Haruchika Nishino
