Abstract: [PROBLEMS] The present invention provides a protecting structure for a power source apparatus capable of suppressing the action of an external force on the power source apparatus when a vehicle is subjected to a shock. [SOLVING MEANS] A protecting structure for a power source apparatus, has a frame unit in which a plurality of frames (21a to 21h) are connected to each other and surround the power source apparatus (30) mounted on a vehicle; and an abutting member (22) connected to the frame unit and extending in a direction in which the abutting member abuts on a vehicle body. The abutting member is arranged so as to extend in a direction in which an external force in a predetermined direction acts on the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle-loading structure of a battery pack is provided. A battery pack is fastened and connected to a side frame via an attachment bracket that is capable of securing and supporting the battery pack. The attachment bracket has an interference portion that is configured to interfere with a gusset when the battery pack moves in a vehicle forward direction caused by the disconnection of the attachment bracket from the side frame due to a shock applied to a vehicle. The interference portion of the attachment bracket interferes with the gusset, so that the battery pack can be supported by the gusset.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a floor panel, a driver's seat and a passenger's seat fixed to the floor panel and arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to a traveling direction, and an electric power storage apparatus provided between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. The vehicle includes a reinforcing member for fixing a supporting frame of the driver's seat and a supporting frame of the passenger's seat to each other. The reinforcing member is formed to extend over the electric power storage apparatus so as to bridge between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat.

Abstract: A structure for installing a fan as an electrical part includes a battery case having a top surface and provided to a vehicle, and a battery cooling fan installed at a prescribed position on the top surface. The battery case and the battery cooling fan have a guide, grooves and guides which guide the battery cooling fan toward the prescribed position while the battery cooling fan is slid on the top surface. By such a configuration, the structure for installing the electrical part with good workability at the time of installation is provided.

Abstract: A cooling structure for an electricity storage device includes: a secondary battery generating heat; a DC-DC converter generating heat in a quantity different from that of secondary battery; an exhaust path for passing air after cooling secondary battery generating heat in a relatively small quantity, and led to the outside of a vehicle; an exhaust path for passing air after cooling DC-DC converter generating heat in a relatively large quantity, and joining exhaust path; and a circulation path connected to exhaust path upstream of an air flow beyond a position at which exhaust path joins, and led to the inside of a vehicle compartment. With this configuration, there is provided a cooling structure for an electricity storage device in which the suppression of both increase in temperature and decrease in inner pressure inside the vehicle compartment can be effectively achieved at the same time.
