Patent number: 11955617Abstract: A vehicle battery pack includes a first battery module and a second battery module, a fan which includes a blade body configured to rotate about a rotary shaft, the fan being configured to supply air to the first battery module and the second battery module, and a housing configured to accommodate the first battery module, the second battery module, and the fan. The first battery module and the second battery module are arranged side by side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. In the first battery module, the plurality of cells are bound in the first direction by a binding member. The binding member is a plate-like member which is made of metal. The fan is arranged in such a manner that the rotary shaft faces the binding member.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryo Kaneshima, Kazuya Nakano, Tsubasa Ikeya

Patent number: 11824179Abstract: A power supply device includes: a battery; an electric device; a case accommodating the battery and the electric device; and a cover covering a case opening. The cover is provided with a first exhaust port and a second exhaust port. A first exhaust member having a first exhaust passage through which air discharged from the first exhaust port flows is connected to the first exhaust port. A second exhaust member having a second exhaust passage through which air discharged from the second exhaust port flows is connected to the second exhaust port. The first exhaust port is provided so as to overlap at least a part of the electric device when viewed from an opening direction and has a larger opening area than the second exhaust port. A minimum cross-sectional area of the first exhaust passage is smaller than a minimum cross-sectional area of the second exhaust passage.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryo Kaneshima, Kazuya Nakano, Masaki Takahashi
