  • Publication number: 20240066974
    Abstract: A vehicle battery cooling system that cools a battery built in an electrically powered vehicle includes a water storage tank, a circulating mechanism, a nozzle, a radiating fin, and a processor. The water storage tank is disposed inside the electrically powered vehicle and near the battery, and stores cooling water for cooling the battery. The circulating mechanism causes, when electric power is supplied from an external facility to the battery, the cooling water supplied from the external facility to circulate through the battery and the water storage tank. The nozzle injects the cooling water supplied from the circulating mechanism into a predetermined part of the electrically powered vehicle. The radiating fin is foldable and controls heat transfer between the battery and the water storage tank. The processor controls respective operations of the circulating mechanism and the nozzle, and switching between open and closed states of the radiating fin.

  • Patent number: 7967708
    Abstract: A chain guide is composed of a resin shoe engageable with an aluminum base frame. The shoe has a hook formed at a chain entry end for engagement with a chain entry end of the base frame, and a C-shaped hook at the chain exit end engageable with a side edge of the base frame. The shoe is engaged with the base by first engaging the C-shaped hook with the side edge of the base frame, then flexing the chain entry end of the shoe until the hook at the chain entry end can receive the chain entry end of the base. The shoe is moved a short distance toward the chain exit end of the base until a projection formed on a back surface of the shoe near the chain entry end snaps into a depression formed on a front surface of the base frame, locking the shoe and base together.
