  • Patent number: 11183728
    Abstract: A battery case of an electric vehicle includes a drain hole for discharging water in the interior to the outside and a water detection device disposed in the vicinity of the drain hole. At least part of an upper face of a case bottom wall of the battery case is inclined downward toward the drain hole. Accordingly, not only is it possible to mold the downward inclination of the upper face of the case bottom wall of the battery case easily at the time of die casting without increasing the number of components, but it is also possible to guide water that has entered the interior of the battery case smoothly toward the drain hole, detect it reliably by the water detection device, and discharge it quickly via the drain hole.

  • Patent number: 11094991
    Abstract: In a battery pack for an electric vehicle, by fixing a lid member to plural fixing portions provided on a bottom wall of a battery case, a cooling medium jacket is formed between a lower face of the bottom wall and an upper face of the lid member. Thickness of the battery case in the fixing portion is formed larger than thickness thereof around the fixing portion. The fixing portion includes a bulge portion bulging upward toward a lower face of a battery module. The lower face thereof includes a recess portion recessed upward, and a projecting portion projecting downward. Since the bulge portion is disposed at a position opposing the recess portion. Accordingly, it is possible to form the cooling medium jacket by strongly fixing the lid member to the lower face of the bottom wall while avoiding increase in the vertical dimension of the battery pack.
