Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a battery temperature conditioning device capable of more preferentially heating battery cells arranged at both ends than the battery cells arranged at the center part. SOLUTION: The battery temperature conditioning device has a housing case, battery cells, passages, and current plates. The battery cells are arranged in the housing case at prescribed spacings. The current plates adjust the flow of a temperature conditioning medium. Then, at the time of warming up, the current plates are arranged so that the temperature conditioning medium may flow more into the passages adjacent to the battery cells at both the ends (near both the ends ) than the passages adjacent to the battery cells in the center part (near the center) out of the battery cells arranged.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air-conditioner of a battery case for an electric car capable of preventing a situation in which gas in the battery case flows into a cabin without increasing manufacturing cost and a manufacturing period. SOLUTION: The air-conditioner includes ducts 18, 19 for communicating a cabin 11 of an electric car 10 with the inside of a battery case 13, and a shut valve unit 32 for permitting or prohibiting the distribution of gas in the ducts 18, 19. The shut valve unit 32 has a valve case 38 connected to the ducts 18, 19, a valve element 39 for opening/closing the valve case 38, a valve element actuator 41 for driving the valve element 39, and a shaft member 42 for turnably supporting one end of the valve element 39 with respect to the valve case 38, and is accommodated in the battery case 13.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To insulate a control apparatus from heat of the battery block while decreasing the outer shape and increasing the output of a battery block. SOLUTION: A power source device for a vehicle includes a battery block 2 composed of a plurality of unit cells 1 having a safety valve 40, an exhaust duct 41 connected to an opening part of the safety valve 40 of the unit cell 1 constituting the battery block 2 and exhausting exhaust from the safety valve 40 by opening, and a control apparatus 50 connected to the battery block 2 and controlling charge discharge of the battery 1. The battery block 2 arranges the unit cells 1 so that the opening parts of the safety valves 40 are positioned on the same surface. The power source device arranges the control apparatus 50 so as to counter to a safety valve opening surface 2A of the battery block 2, where the opening part of the safety valve 40 is positioned. The power source device arranges the exhaust duct 41 between the control apparatus 50 and the safety valve opening surface 2A so that the exhaust duct 41 insulates heat between the battery block 2 and the control apparatus 50.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle that allows charging from the outside to a power storage device in a quick and efficient start. SOLUTION: The vehicle 1 is provided with a battery B being a chargeable/dischargeable power storage device, a step-up unit 32 that operates as a vehicle driving part for driving the vehicle by receiving power supply from the battery B, an inverter 36 and motor generators MG1, MG2, a connecting part 37 for connecting the vehicle with an external power supply, in order to execute charging to the battery B from the outside of the vehicle, and a controller 14 for executing control related to the battery B. The controller 14 decides whether a destination is a chargeable location that allows charging to the battery B from the outside of the vehicle. When the destination is a chargeable place, the controller executes the control, related to the battery B, so that a temperature of the battery B becomes a temperature proper in charging efficiency at arrival at the destination.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cover member in which contact with a power source device is prevented and exhaust heat from the power source body can be discharged appropriately inside a vehicle, and the power supply source equipped with the cover member. SOLUTION: The cover member 10 to cover a power source device 1 which is equipped with the power source body and a case 2 that houses the power source body has a plurality of apertures 11 to guide the heat from the power source body to outside the cover member. Examples are given such that at least one or more apertures are installed at a position corresponding to respective side faces of the power source device in the cover member.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioning control device of a vehicle capable of more properly pre-conditioning air to start an actuation of an air conditioner before a scheduled departure time of a vehicle. SOLUTION: When an electric storage device is charged by an external power source 24 before a scheduled departure time t1 of a vehicle, if an outside air temperature τg is beyond a setting range in a step S102, a pre-air-conditioning start time t2 is set before a charging start time t3 of the electric storage device 20 in a step S105, so that a temperature of the electric storage device 20 can be adjusted in advance by pre-air-conditioning before charging of the electric storage device 20 is started, so as to increase a power chargeable to the electric storage device 20. Meanwhile, when the outside air temperature τg is within a setting range in the step S102, a power chargeable to the electric storage device 20 can be sufficiently secured even if the pre-air-conditioning start time t2 is set after the charging start time t3 of the electric charging device 20 in the step S103.
