  • Cooling structure for vehicle battery
    Patent number: 10897067
    Abstract: A cooling structure for a vehicle battery includes a battery module, a heat transfer sheet, a cooling water circulation pipe line, and a cooling-water storage chamber. In the battery module, battery cells are arranged in one direction. The heat transfer sheet is fixed to a lower surface of the battery module. The cooling water circulation pipe line faces the lower surface of the battery module with being in contact with the heat transfer sheet. The cooling-water storage chamber is of a non-circulation type and disposed below the battery module while in contact with a lower surface of the cooling water circulation pipe line.

  • Mounting structure for vehicle battery box
    Patent number: 8616319
    Abstract: In a mounting structure for a vehicle battery box, a battery box is supported in a suspended manner between left and right rear side frames at the rear of a vehicle with first and second cross members that are installed between the left and right rear side frames. The first cross member is fixed at a substantially front end of a rear deformation zone that is set at the left and right rear side frames. High-voltage equipment is fixed between the first and second cross members on the top surface of the right rear side frame. The battery box is electrically connected to the high-voltage equipment with a connecting member.
