Publication number: 20030067747Abstract: The present invention aims to cool high tension electrical equipment efficiently with a small, lightweight device. The high tension electrical equipment cooling structure is provided for cooling batteries which supply electricity to the operating motor via an inverter, and the inverter using cooling air, and comprises an equipment box for guiding cooling air introduced from a cooling air inlet port into a cooling air outlet port, and a fan for introducing cooling air from the cooling air inlet port. A shutter that consists of an elastic material is disposed inside the intake duct. The shutter closes off the cooling air flow path, and when negative pressure is generated downstream of the shutter due to the operation of the fan, the shutter undergoes elastic deformation, and as a result, the cooling air flow path is opened.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2002Publication date: April 10, 2003Applicant: HONDA GIKEN KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Osamu Hasegawa, Kazuhiko Aitaka, Harumi Takedomi

Patent number: 5756227Abstract: A battery assembly has a temperature control mechanism for effecting cooling or heating unit batteries for operation in a desired temperature range. First heat-exchange planar members of respective heat-transfer plates are sandwiched between the unit batteries that are arranged in an array, and second heat-exchange planar members thereof are held against transverse narrow side walls of the unit batteries. The unit batteries and the heat-transfer plates are securely fastened together by holder plates. Heat produced when the unit batteries are in operation is transferred through the first and second heat-exchange planar members of the heat-transfer plates and dissipated into an appropriate cooling medium, such as atmospheric air or another cooling fluid, through a heat-exchange.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1995Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeru Suzuki, Yasuo Kitami, Toshiyuki Watanabe, Minoru Nakajima, Yasuyuki Sando, Yoshinori Mita, Koichiro Ozawa, Harumi Takedomi
