Abstract:
A battery pack includes a first unit battery, a second unit battery, and a spacer. The first unit battery includes a wound electrode body and a casing that accommodates an electrolyte solution. The spacer includes: a primary surface that faces the first unit battery; and plural projections, each of which is projected from the primary surface. The plural projections include: a first projection that abuts the casing in a state where the casing is not expanded; and a second projection, a height of which is lower than a height of the first projection.
Abstract:
An equipment component fixation structure includes: a cell stack; an equipment case; an equipment component; an in-vehicle bracket; and a support bracket supporting the equipment case. The in-vehicle bracket has a shape as extending from the cell stack to below the equipment case. The support bracket couples the in-vehicle bracket and the equipment case.
Abstract:
An electricity storage system includes a plurality of electricity storage elements, a partition member, a pair of end plates, and a plurality of coupling members. The case includes a flat surface that has a first region opposed to a positive-electrode active material layer and a negative-electrode active material layer of a power generation element, and a second region other than the first region. The partition member is disposed between two electricity storage elements adjacent to each other in the predetermined direction. The pair of end plates is disposed in positions sandwiching the plurality of electricity storage elements in the predetermined direction such that the pair of end plates applies a constraint force to the plurality of electricity storage elements. The constraint force acting on the second region is larger than the constraint force acting on the first region.
Abstract:
A vehicle includes: an electronic device accommodated in an accommodation case of a power storage device; and a signal wiring connected to an electronic device and an in-vehicle device, the signal wiring being a signal wiring in which a signal to be received or transmitted by the electronic device or the in-vehicle device travels. An exhaust pipe is disposed at a position adjacent to a first side surface, and the signal wiring is drawn out from the second side surface to outside of the accommodation case.
Abstract:
An electrical connection box comprising a box main body that accommodates an electrical component and a connector for connection with an electrical wire that is provided in a protruding manner on an outer surface of the box main body, the electrical connection box being mounted on a vehicle and used for connection of a plurality of on-board loads to an on-board power supply comprises a protector that is provided in a protruding manner along a protrusion direction of the connector and protects the connector.
Abstract:
A battery wiring module is attached to a cell group including an arrangement of a plurality of cells having positive pole and negative pole electrode terminals. The battery wiring module is provided with: a plurality of connection members connecting the positive pole and negative pole electrode terminals of adjacent cells of the plurality of cells; and a flexible printed board including a plurality of voltage sensing wires for sensing voltages of the plurality of cells via the plurality of connection members. Each of the voltage sensing wires has an electric current limiting element provided somewhere therealong to limit a flow of overcurrent in the voltage sensing wires. The electric current limiting element is connected to the voltage sensing wires at a portion which is overcoated with an insulating resin.
Abstract:
In a temperature adjusting structure for an electric power storage device as well as in a temperature adjusting method for an electric power storage device, a temperature adjusting air that exchanges heat with a case in which an electric power generation element is housed is guided in a longitudinal direction of a circulation path. Then, a vortex flow that swirls with the longitudinal direction being a rotational axis is generated in the air that flows through the circulation path, and the vortex flow is brought into contact with a lateral surface of the case.
Abstract:
In a temperature regulation structure according to the invention, the power storage element includes a power generation element for charging and discharging, and has a case body having an opening portion for incorporating the power generation element, and a lid that closes up the opening portion of the case body. Air for temperature regulation that comes into contact with the power storage element is supplied from a direction substantially perpendicular to a bottom face of the case body, which is opposed to the lid across the power generation element. The temperature of the power storage element can be efficiently regulated by bringing the air for temperature regulation into contact with the bottom face of the case body.
