  • Cooling structure of electricity storage device
    Patent number: 10074880
    Abstract: A cooling structure of an electricity storage device includes a storage cell case, a plurality of storage cells, a plurality of cooling passages, an intake duct, an exhaust duct, a cooling air suction device, and a flow path resistance. The plurality of storage cells are accommodated in the storage cell case. The plurality of cooling passages are provided between the storage cells. The intake duct is connected to an upstream side of the storage cell case. The exhaust duct is connected to a downstream side of the storage cell case. The cooling air suction device is connected to the exhaust duct and configured to draw cooling air from the intake duct. The flow path resistance is provided between the plurality of cooling passages and the cooling air suction device to limit a flow of the cooling air from the intake duct to the cooling air suction device.

  • SENSOR UNIT, APPARATUS WITH SENSOR UNIT AND ASSEMBLING METHOD OF SENSOR UNIT
    Publication number: 20170343426
    Abstract: A sensor unit includes a sensor, a coupler, and a body. The coupler is connected to the sensor. The sensor is to be connected to an outside of the sensor unit via the coupler. The body supports the sensor and the coupler. The body is to be attached to an equipment from an outside of the equipment which includes an object to be detected by the sensor. The body includes an external appearance to distinguish the sensor unit from an another sensor unit which has an another sensor different from the sensor.
