Description

本発明は、電気自動車の部品搭載構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a component mounting structure for an electric vehicle.

従来、低電圧電力を充電器で昇圧してバッテリに充電するようにした電気自動車が知られている(特許文献1)。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an electric vehicle in which low voltage power is boosted with a charger and charged to a battery is known (Patent Document 1).

特開2007−269249号公報JP 2007-269249 A

上記従来技術のように、低電圧電力を昇圧して充電すると、充電が完了するのに時間がかかる。そこで、高電圧電力も充電できるように構成すれば、充電が完了するまでの時間を短縮することができるのであるが、その場合に、電力の供給経路や電気部品のレイアウトを適宜に設定しないと、電力損失が増大する虞がある。   If the low voltage power is boosted and charged as in the above prior art, it takes time to complete the charging. Therefore, if it is configured so that high voltage power can be charged, the time until charging is completed can be shortened. In that case, the power supply path and the layout of the electrical components must be set appropriately. There is a risk that power loss increases.

そこで、本発明は、低電圧電力と高電圧電力とを供給することができるとともに、高電圧電力を充電する際の電力の損失を抑制することが可能な電気自動車の部品搭載構造を得ることを目的とする。   Thus, the present invention provides an electric vehicle component mounting structure that can supply low-voltage power and high-voltage power and that can suppress power loss when charging high-voltage power. Objective.

本発明にあっては、充電器に向けて配索される第一の高電圧ハーネスと高電圧充電ポートに向けて配索される第二の高電圧ハーネスとが繋げられる回路ボックスを、充電器よりも、高電圧充電ポートを含むコネクタ部に、近づけて配置したことを最も主要な特徴とする。   In the present invention, a circuit box in which the first high-voltage harness routed toward the charger and the second high-voltage harness routed toward the high-voltage charging port are connected to the charger. Rather, the most important feature is that it is arranged close to the connector portion including the high voltage charging port.

本発明によれば、コネクタ部と回路ボックスとをより近づけることで第二の高電圧ハーネスをより短くして、当該第二の高電圧ハーネスを介して高電圧電力を充電する際の電力損失を抑制しやすくなる。   According to the present invention, the second high voltage harness is shortened by bringing the connector portion and the circuit box closer to each other, and power loss when charging high voltage power through the second high voltage harness is reduced. It becomes easy to suppress.

図5は、本実施形態にかかる車両1(電気自動車)における回路構成の概略を示している。図中、高電圧が印加される導体部分24を実線で示し、低電圧が印加される導体部分24を破線で示している。また、線の太さは導体部分24の断面積に対応しており、線が太いほど導体部分24の断面積が大きいことを示している。また、図中、二点鎖線A内は、パワーユニット3の動作中(車両1の走行中)に高電圧が印加される領域を示している。   FIG. 5 schematically shows a circuit configuration of the vehicle 1 (electric vehicle) according to the present embodiment. In the drawing, the conductor portion 24 to which a high voltage is applied is indicated by a solid line, and the conductor portion 24 to which a low voltage is applied is indicated by a broken line. The thickness of the line corresponds to the cross-sectional area of the conductor portion 24, and the thicker the line, the larger the cross-sectional area of the conductor portion 24. Further, in the figure, a two-dot chain line A indicates a region where a high voltage is applied during the operation of the power unit 3 (when the vehicle 1 is traveling).

図5からもわかるように、本実施形態では、高電圧が印加される強電部品として、電動モータ3M、インバータ4、回路ボックス5、充電器6、バッテリアセンブリ7、PTCヒータ25、電動コンプレッサ26等が設けられているが、本実施形態では、図1に示すように、これら強電部品のうち、充電器6を車両1の後部(前後方向の車両重心Cgより後方)に配置し、バッテリアセンブリ7を車両1の前後方向中央部に配置し、それら以外の強電部品(すなわち、電動モータ3M、インバータ4、回路ボックス5、PTCヒータ25、および電動コンプレッサ26)を車両1の前部(車両重心Cgより前方)に配置している。   As can be seen from FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the high-voltage components to which a high voltage is applied include the electric motor 3M, the inverter 4, the circuit box 5, the charger 6, the battery assembly 7, the PTC heater 25, the electric compressor 26, and the like. However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, among these high-power components, the charger 6 is disposed at the rear portion of the vehicle 1 (behind the vehicle center of gravity Cg in the front-rear direction), and the battery assembly 7. Are arranged at the center in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1, and other high-power components (that is, the electric motor 3M, the inverter 4, the circuit box 5, the PTC heater 25, and the electric compressor 26) are arranged at the front of the vehicle 1 (vehicle center of gravity Cg). It is arranged more forward).

このように、充電器6を車両重心Cgの後方に配置し、かつ、充電器6とは別の強電部品(本実施形態では、電動モータ3M、インバータ4、回路ボックス5、PTCヒータ25、および電動コンプレッサ26)を車両重心Cgの前方に配置することで、充電器6と当該強電部品とを車両重心Cgに対して前方または後方に集約して配置した場合に比べて、車両1の前後の重量バランスをとりやすくなる。   In this way, the charger 6 is arranged behind the vehicle center of gravity Cg, and the high-power components different from the charger 6 (in this embodiment, the electric motor 3M, the inverter 4, the circuit box 5, the PTC heater 25, and By disposing the electric compressor 26) in front of the vehicle center of gravity Cg, compared to the case where the charger 6 and the high-power components are collectively disposed forward or rearward with respect to the vehicle center of gravity Cg, It becomes easy to balance weight.

また、充電器6と、充電器6とは別の強電部品(本実施形態では、電動モータ3M、インバータ4、回路ボックス5、PTCヒータ25、および電動コンプレッサ26)とを、バッテリアセンブリ7を挟んで前後に配置することで、充電器6と当該強電部品とをバッテリアセンブリ7に対して前方または後方に集約して配置した場合に比べて、車両1の前後の重量バランスをとりやすくなる。また、バッテリアセンブリ7は比較的重量が大きいため、かかるレイアウトは、バッテリアセンブリ7が車両1の前後方向中央部に配置されることになる分、バッテリアセンブリ7を車両1の前部または後部に配置された場合に比べて、車両1の前後の重量バランスをとりやすくなると言うことができる。   In addition, the battery assembly 7 is sandwiched between the charger 6 and a high-power component different from the charger 6 (in this embodiment, the electric motor 3M, the inverter 4, the circuit box 5, the PTC heater 25, and the electric compressor 26). As a result, it is easier to balance the weight of the vehicle 1 in the front-rear direction than in the case where the charger 6 and the high-power components are arranged in front or rear with respect to the battery assembly 7. Further, since the battery assembly 7 is relatively heavy, the layout is such that the battery assembly 7 is disposed at the front or rear portion of the vehicle 1 because the battery assembly 7 is disposed at the center in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1. It can be said that it becomes easier to balance the weight of the vehicle 1 before and after the case.

低電圧給電コード14Lならびに低電圧充電ポート15Lを介して充電を行う際、充電器6ならびに充電器6に繋がるハーネス16a(第一の高電圧ハーネス)およびハーネス16b(低電圧ハーネス)には、比較的電流値の低い電流が流れる。このため、これらハーネス16a,16bの導体部分24の断面積は、高電圧充電ポート15Hに繋がるハーネス16c(第二の高電圧ハーネス)およびバッテリアセンブリ7に繋がるハーネス16d(第三の高電圧ハーネス)の導体部分24の断面積に比べて小さくしてある。すなわち、ハーネス16a,16bは、ハーネス16c,16dに比べて細くすることができる。   When charging is performed via the low voltage power supply cord 14L and the low voltage charging port 15L, the charger 6 and the harness 16a (first high voltage harness) and the harness 16b (low voltage harness) connected to the charger 6 are compared. Current with a low current value flows. For this reason, the cross-sectional areas of the conductor portions 24 of these harnesses 16a and 16b are the harness 16c (second high voltage harness) connected to the high voltage charging port 15H and the harness 16d (third high voltage harness) connected to the battery assembly 7. The cross-sectional area of the conductor portion 24 is made smaller. That is, the harnesses 16a and 16b can be made thinner than the harnesses 16c and 16d.

そして、本実施形態では、図1,図2等からわかるように、低電圧充電ポート15L(充電ポート15)を車両1の前部に配置する一方、充電器6を車両1の後部に配置しているため、これらの間を接続するハーネス16bは比較的長くなる。さらに、本実施形態では、ハーネス16aの一端をフロントコンパートメント8内にある回路ボックス5の中に導き、充電器6で生じた高電圧電力を、ハーネス16a、回路ボックス5、ならびに回路ボックス5とバッテリアセンブリ7との間のハーネス16dを介してバッテリアセンブリ7に供給する構成となっている。このため、ハーネス16aも車両1の前部と後部との間で配索されて比較的長くなる。   In this embodiment, as can be seen from FIGS. 1, 2, etc., the low voltage charging port 15 </ b> L (charging port 15) is disposed at the front of the vehicle 1, while the charger 6 is disposed at the rear of the vehicle 1. Therefore, the harness 16b that connects them becomes relatively long. Further, in the present embodiment, one end of the harness 16a is guided into the circuit box 5 in the front compartment 8, and the high voltage power generated in the charger 6 is supplied to the harness 16a, the circuit box 5, and the circuit box 5 and the battery. The battery assembly 7 is configured to supply the battery assembly 7 via a harness 16d with the assembly 7. For this reason, the harness 16a is also routed between the front portion and the rear portion of the vehicle 1 and becomes relatively long.

しかし、ハーネス16a,16bは、上述したように、他のハーネス16(ハーネス16c,16d,およびインバータ4に繋がるハーネス16e等)に比べて細くすることができるため、太いハーネスを配索する場合に比べると、充電器6と充電ポート15とを車両1の前後に離間して配置しても、ハーネス16bの重量増を抑制することができるし、充電器6と回路ボックス5とを車両1の前後に離間して配置しても、ハーネス16aの重量増、ひいては車両1の重量増を抑制することができる。また、ハーネス16a,16bの設置作業も比較的容易に行うことができる。   However, since the harnesses 16a and 16b can be made thinner than the other harnesses 16 (the harnesses 16c and 16d and the harnesses 16e connected to the inverter 4) as described above, when wiring a thick harness, In comparison, even if the charger 6 and the charging port 15 are spaced apart from each other in the front and rear of the vehicle 1, the weight of the harness 16 b can be suppressed, and the charger 6 and the circuit box 5 can be connected to the vehicle 1. Even if they are arranged apart from each other in the front-rear direction, an increase in the weight of the harness 16a and, consequently, an increase in the weight of the vehicle 1 can be suppressed. Also, the installation work of the harnesses 16a and 16b can be performed relatively easily.

また、仮に、充電器6に接続される高電圧のハーネス16a(第一の高電圧ハーネス)を、回路ボックス5を経由せずにバッテリアセンブリ7に直接接続する構成にすると、ハーネス16aの長さをより短くすることはできるが、かかる構成では、車体2に固定される強電部品と当該車体2に着脱されるバッテリアセンブリ7との間の導電経路が2系統となるため、1系統である場合に比べて、接触部分の位置合わせが難しくなる。この点、本実施形態では、充電器6からの電力を、ハーネス16a、回路ボックス5、ならびにハーネス16dを介してバッテリアセンブリ7に供給する構成としたため、車体2に固定される強電部品(本実施形態では回路ボックス5)と車体2に対して着脱されるバッテリアセンブリ7との間の導電経路を1系統のみとすることができて、当該導電経路の接触部分の構成をより簡素化できるとともに接触部分の位置合わせがより容易になる。   Moreover, if the high voltage harness 16a (first high voltage harness) connected to the charger 6 is directly connected to the battery assembly 7 without going through the circuit box 5, the length of the harness 16a will be described. However, in such a configuration, there are two conductive paths between the high-voltage component fixed to the vehicle body 2 and the battery assembly 7 attached to and detached from the vehicle body 2. Compared with, it becomes difficult to align the contact portion. In this respect, in the present embodiment, since the power from the charger 6 is supplied to the battery assembly 7 via the harness 16a, the circuit box 5, and the harness 16d, the high-power component fixed to the vehicle body 2 (this embodiment) In the embodiment, the conductive path between the circuit box 5) and the battery assembly 7 attached to and detached from the vehicle body 2 can be only one system, and the configuration of the contact portion of the conductive path can be simplified and contact can be made. The alignment of the parts becomes easier.

そして、本実施形態では、図1,図2等からわかるように、回路ボックス5を充電器6よりも充電ポート15の近くに配置してある。よって、高電圧充電ポート15Hと回路ボックス5とを繋ぐハーネス16c(第二の高電圧ハーネス、図5参照)をより短くして、高電圧充電ポート15Hからハーネス16cおよび回路ボックス5を介して高電圧電力を供給する際の電力損失を抑制しやすくなる。上述したように、低電圧充電ポート15Lからハーネス16b、充電器6、ハーネス16a、および回路ボックス5を介して電力を供給する際の電流値は比較的低いため、充電ポート15と充電器6とを離間させて配置しても、電力損失はそれほど大きくなりにくい。これに対し、高電圧充電ポート15Hからハーネス16cおよび回路ボックス5を介して高電圧電力を供給する際の電流値は比較的高いため、電気抵抗を小さくして電力損失を減らすのが好ましい。したがって、ハーネス16cを短くして電気抵抗を減らすのが好ましい。そして、ハーネス16cを短くすると、電気抵抗をさらに減らすために当該ハーネス16cの内部の導体部分24を太くしても、ハーネス16c全体の重量増を抑制することができるため、車両1の重量増を抑制できるとともにハーネス16cの設置作業も比較的容易になるという利点がある。また、かかる構成では、回路ボックス5と充電器6とを離間して配置することができるため、これらを集約して配置した場合に比べて、車両1の重量バランスをとりやすくなるという利点がある。   In this embodiment, as can be seen from FIGS. 1, 2, etc., the circuit box 5 is arranged closer to the charging port 15 than the charger 6. Therefore, the harness 16c (second high-voltage harness, see FIG. 5) connecting the high-voltage charging port 15H and the circuit box 5 is further shortened, and the high-voltage charging port 15H is connected to the circuit box 5 via the harness 16c and the circuit box 5. It becomes easy to suppress power loss when supplying voltage power. As described above, since the current value when power is supplied from the low voltage charging port 15L via the harness 16b, the charger 6, the harness 16a, and the circuit box 5 is relatively low, the charging port 15 and the charger 6 Even if they are arranged apart from each other, power loss is unlikely to become so large. On the other hand, since the current value when the high voltage power is supplied from the high voltage charging port 15H via the harness 16c and the circuit box 5 is relatively high, it is preferable to reduce the electric resistance by reducing the electric resistance. Therefore, it is preferable to reduce the electrical resistance by shortening the harness 16c. And if the harness 16c is shortened, even if the conductor portion 24 inside the harness 16c is made thicker to further reduce the electrical resistance, an increase in the weight of the entire harness 16c can be suppressed. There is an advantage that the harness 16c can be suppressed and the installation work of the harness 16c becomes relatively easy. Moreover, in this structure, since the circuit box 5 and the charger 6 can be arrange | positioned separately, there exists an advantage that it becomes easy to balance the weight of the vehicle 1 compared with the case where these are arrange | positioned collectively. .

また、本実施形態では、図1,図2等からわかるように、バッテリアセンブリ7が、充電器6よりも回路ボックス5の近くに搭載されるようになっている。よって、回路ボックス5とバッテリアセンブリ7とを繋ぐハーネス16d(第三の高電圧ハーネス、図5参照)をより短くして、回路ボックス5からハーネス16dを介してバッテリアセンブリ7に高電圧電力を供給する際の電力損失を抑制しやすくなる。回路ボックス5からハーネス16dを介してバッテリアセンブリ7に供給される高電圧電力の電流値は比較的高くなるため、電気抵抗を小さくするほど電力損失を減らすのが好ましい。したがって、ハーネス16dを短くして電気抵抗を減らすのが好ましい。そして、ハーネス16dを短くすると、電気抵抗をさらに減らすために当該ハーネス16dの内部の導体部分24を太くしてもハーネス16d全体の重量増を抑制することができるため、車両1の重量増を抑制できるとともにハーネス16dの設置作業も比較的容易になるという利点がある。また、かかる構成では、バッテリアセンブリ7と充電器6とを離間して配置することができるため、これらを集約して配置した場合に比べて、車両1の重量バランスをとりやすくなるという利点がある。   In this embodiment, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the battery assembly 7 is mounted closer to the circuit box 5 than the charger 6. Therefore, the harness 16d connecting the circuit box 5 and the battery assembly 7 (third high-voltage harness, see FIG. 5) is shortened, and high-voltage power is supplied from the circuit box 5 to the battery assembly 7 via the harness 16d. It becomes easy to suppress the power loss when doing. Since the current value of the high voltage power supplied from the circuit box 5 to the battery assembly 7 via the harness 16d becomes relatively high, it is preferable to reduce the power loss as the electric resistance is reduced. Therefore, it is preferable to shorten the harness 16d to reduce the electrical resistance. If the harness 16d is shortened, the weight of the entire harness 16d can be suppressed even if the conductor portion 24 inside the harness 16d is thickened to further reduce the electrical resistance. There is an advantage that the harness 16d can be installed relatively easily. Moreover, in this structure, since the battery assembly 7 and the charger 6 can be arrange | positioned separately, there exists an advantage that it becomes easy to balance the weight of the vehicle 1 compared with the case where these are arrange | positioned collectively. .

さらに、本実施形態では、バッテリアセンブリ7が、充電器6と回路ボックス5との間に搭載されるように構成した。よって、バッテリアセンブリ7、充電器6、および回路ボックス5を分散して配置することができるようになって、その分、車両1の重量バランスをより一層とりやすくなる。本実施形態では、図1,図2等からわかるように、これらバッテリアセンブリ7、充電器6、および回路ボックス5を、前後方向に分散して配置したため、前後方向の重量バランスをとりやすくなっている。   Further, in the present embodiment, the battery assembly 7 is configured to be mounted between the charger 6 and the circuit box 5. Therefore, the battery assembly 7, the charger 6, and the circuit box 5 can be distributed and arranged, and the weight balance of the vehicle 1 can be more easily balanced accordingly. In this embodiment, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, etc., the battery assembly 7, the charger 6, and the circuit box 5 are distributed in the front-rear direction, so that it is easy to balance the weight in the front-rear direction. Yes.

パワーユニット3の動作中(車両1の走行中)には、バッテリアセンブリ7から、ハーネス16d(第三の高電圧ハーネス)、回路ボックス5、およびハーネス16e(図5参照)を介してインバータ4に直流の高電圧電力が供給され、インバータ4で生成された交流の高電圧電力が電動モータ3Mに供給される。本実施形態では、回路ボックス5およびインバータ4をともにフロントコンパートメント8内に配置したため、ハーネス16eを比較的短くすることができ、パワーユニット3の動作中の電力損失も抑制することができる。特に、本実施形態では、回路ボックス5とインバータ4とを隣接して配置することで、ハーネス16eを短くしてある。   During operation of the power unit 3 (during traveling of the vehicle 1), direct current is supplied from the battery assembly 7 to the inverter 4 via the harness 16d (third high-voltage harness), the circuit box 5, and the harness 16e (see FIG. 5). High voltage power is supplied, and AC high voltage power generated by the inverter 4 is supplied to the electric motor 3M. In the present embodiment, since both the circuit box 5 and the inverter 4 are arranged in the front compartment 8, the harness 16e can be made relatively short, and power loss during operation of the power unit 3 can also be suppressed. In particular, in this embodiment, the harness 16e is shortened by arranging the circuit box 5 and the inverter 4 adjacent to each other.

さらに、本実施形態では、充電ポート15を車両1の前部に配置し、回路ボックス5をフロントコンパートメント8内に配置し、バッテリアセンブリ7および充電器6を回路ボックス5より後方に搭載されるように構成した。これにより、回路ボックス5を車両1により容易にレイアウトすることができる上、回路ボックス5と高電圧充電ポート15Hとの間のハーネス16cをより短くすることができて、高電圧電力を充電する際の電力損失を抑制しやすくなる。また、充電ポート15を車両1の前部に配置することで、充電ポート15における給電コード14の接続状態を視認しやすくなり、給電コード14が接続されたまま車両1を移動させたりする不具合を抑制しやすくなる。そして、バッテリアセンブリ7および充電器6を回路ボックス5の後方に配置することで、車両1の前後方向の重量バランスをとりやすくなる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the charging port 15 is disposed in the front portion of the vehicle 1, the circuit box 5 is disposed in the front compartment 8, and the battery assembly 7 and the charger 6 are mounted behind the circuit box 5. Configured. As a result, the circuit box 5 can be easily laid out by the vehicle 1, and the harness 16c between the circuit box 5 and the high voltage charging port 15H can be further shortened to charge high voltage power. It becomes easy to suppress the power loss. Further, by arranging the charging port 15 in the front part of the vehicle 1, it becomes easy to visually recognize the connection state of the power supply cord 14 in the charging port 15, and the vehicle 1 is moved while the power supply cord 14 is connected. It becomes easy to suppress. And it becomes easy to balance the weight of the vehicle 1 in the front-rear direction by arranging the battery assembly 7 and the charger 6 behind the circuit box 5.

また、図5を参照すれば明らかとなるように、ハーネス16aの回路ボックス5側(本実施形態では回路ボックス5の筐体5e(図3,図5参照)内であり、かつフロントコンパートメント8内)に、充電時には接点同士が接続して非充電時には接点同士が離間するリレー5daを設け、充電中にはハーネス16aに高電圧が印加されるが、走行中などの非充電中にはハーネス16aに高電圧が印加されないようにしてある。よって、比較的前後に長くなるハーネス16aが走行時の車両1の衝突等によって損傷を受けたとしても、このハーネス16aはリレー5daによって電流が流れている部分から遮断されているため、ハーネス16aで短絡が生じたり、ハーネス16aの損傷部分から車体2に漏電が生じたりすることを抑制し、安全性を向上することができる。   Further, as will be apparent with reference to FIG. 5, the harness 16 a is in the circuit box 5 side (in the present embodiment, in the housing 5 e of the circuit box 5 (see FIGS. 3 and 5)) and in the front compartment 8. ) Is provided with a relay 5da that connects the contacts at the time of charging and separates the contacts at the time of non-charging, and a high voltage is applied to the harness 16a during charging. A high voltage is not applied to the circuit. Therefore, even if the harness 16a that is relatively long in the front and rear direction is damaged by the collision of the vehicle 1 during traveling, the harness 16a is cut off from the portion where the current flows by the relay 5da. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a short circuit or the occurrence of electric leakage from the damaged portion of the harness 16a to the vehicle body 2, thereby improving safety.

上述した充電器6と充電器6以外の強電部品とを車両1の前後に分けて配置するレイアウトは、車両1の前後の重量バランスと、走行時における安全性のさらなる向上とを両立することが可能な好適なものであると言える。なお、リレー5dの動作は図示しない制御ユニットによって電気的に制御するのが好適である。この場合、センサ等を設けて低電圧給電コード14Lの低電圧充電ポート15Lへの接続を検知してリレー5dを動作させるようにしてもよい。   The layout in which the charger 6 and the high-power components other than the charger 6 are arranged separately before and after the vehicle 1 can achieve both a weight balance before and after the vehicle 1 and a further improvement in safety during traveling. It can be said that it is possible and preferable. The operation of the relay 5d is preferably electrically controlled by a control unit (not shown). In this case, a sensor or the like may be provided to detect the connection of the low voltage power supply cord 14L to the low voltage charging port 15L and operate the relay 5d.

また、本実施形態のように、充電器6とバッテリアセンブリ7とを除く強電部品をフロントコンパートメント8内に配置する構成は、小型の車両1や、スポーツカー等のフード10cの低い車両1など、フロントコンパートメント8の容積を広く確保し難い場合に、部品レイアウトの点で有利となる。また、重量バランスが向上する分、車両1の運動性能を向上できるという利点もある。さらに、高電圧電力を供給する設備(インフラ)が普及するなどして、低電圧電力を供給しないで済むようになった場合には、車両1から充電器6を除去すると車両1の重量をより軽くすることができるが、本実施形態にかかる構成によれば、充電器6を他の強電部品から離間した位置に配置してあるため、充電器6を比較的容易に除去することができ、この点でも有利であると言える。また、車両1の生産に際して、充電器6の有無による車両1の部品レイアウト(特にフロントコンパートメント8内のレイアウト)の変更が少なくて済む分、充電器6が搭載される仕様と搭載されない仕様とを分けやすくなって、製造コストを低くしやすいという利点もある。   In addition, as in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the high-power components excluding the charger 6 and the battery assembly 7 are arranged in the front compartment 8 is a small vehicle 1 or a vehicle 1 with a low hood 10c such as a sports car. This is advantageous in terms of component layout when it is difficult to secure a large volume of the front compartment 8. Moreover, there is also an advantage that the motion performance of the vehicle 1 can be improved as much as the weight balance is improved. Furthermore, when the facility (infrastructure) for supplying high-voltage power becomes widespread and it becomes unnecessary to supply low-voltage power, removing the charger 6 from the vehicle 1 increases the weight of the vehicle 1. Although it can be made lighter, according to the configuration according to the present embodiment, the charger 6 can be removed relatively easily because the charger 6 is disposed at a position away from other high-power components. It can be said that this point is also advantageous. In addition, when the vehicle 1 is produced, the specification in which the charger 6 is mounted and the specification in which the charger 6 is not mounted are reduced because the change in the component layout of the vehicle 1 (particularly, the layout in the front compartment 8) can be reduced. There is also an advantage that it is easy to divide and it is easy to reduce the manufacturing cost.

そして、本実施形態では、充電器6とバッテリアセンブリ7とを除く強電部品をフロントコンパートメント8内に配置するとともに、充電ポート15を車両1の前部に配置したため、充電器6に繋がるハーネス16aを除く高電圧のハーネス16(16c,16d,16e等)の長さをより短くすることができる。よって、高電圧充電時やパワーユニット3の動作時における電力損失を抑制することができるとともに、比較的太いハーネス16c,16d,16e等による重量増を抑制できる。また、ハーネス16c,16d,16e等の配索の手間を減らすことができる。   In the present embodiment, the high-power components excluding the charger 6 and the battery assembly 7 are arranged in the front compartment 8 and the charging port 15 is arranged in the front portion of the vehicle 1, so that the harness 16 a connected to the charger 6 is provided. The length of the high-voltage harness 16 (16c, 16d, 16e, etc.) to be removed can be further shortened. Therefore, power loss during high voltage charging or power unit 3 operation can be suppressed, and an increase in weight due to relatively thick harnesses 16c, 16d, 16e, etc. can be suppressed. Further, it is possible to reduce the time and labor of routing the harnesses 16c, 16d, 16e and the like.

以上、説明したように、本実施形態では、回路ボックス5を充電器6よりも充電ポート15(コネクタ部)の近くに配置した。よって、高電圧充電ポート15Hと回路ボックス5とを繋ぐハーネス16c(第二の高電圧ハーネス)をより短くすることができ、当該ハーネス16cを介して高電圧電力を充電する際の電力損失を抑制しやすくなる。   As described above, in this embodiment, the circuit box 5 is arranged closer to the charging port 15 (connector portion) than the charger 6. Therefore, the harness 16c (second high-voltage harness) that connects the high-voltage charging port 15H and the circuit box 5 can be shortened, and power loss when charging high-voltage power via the harness 16c is suppressed. It becomes easy to do.

また、本実施形態では、バッテリアセンブリ7が、充電器6よりも回路ボックス5の近くに搭載される。よって、回路ボックス5とバッテリアセンブリ7とを繋ぐハーネス16d(第三の高電圧ハーネス)をより短くすることができ、当該ハーネス16dを介して高電圧電力を充電する際の電力損失を抑制しやすくなる。   In the present embodiment, the battery assembly 7 is mounted closer to the circuit box 5 than the charger 6. Therefore, the harness 16d (third high voltage harness) that connects the circuit box 5 and the battery assembly 7 can be further shortened, and power loss when charging high voltage power via the harness 16d can be easily suppressed. Become.

また、本実施形態では、バッテリアセンブリ7が、充電器6と回路ボックス5との間に搭載されるように構成した。よって、バッテリアセンブリ7、充電器6、および回路ボックス5を分散して配置することができるようになって、その分、車両1の重量バランスをとりやすくなる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the battery assembly 7 is configured to be mounted between the charger 6 and the circuit box 5. Therefore, the battery assembly 7, the charger 6, and the circuit box 5 can be arranged in a distributed manner, and the weight balance of the vehicle 1 can be easily balanced accordingly.

また、本実施形態では、充電ポート15を車両1の前部に配置し、回路ボックス5をフロントコンパートメント8内に配置し、バッテリアセンブリ7および充電器6を回路ボックス5より後方に搭載されるように構成した。よって、回路ボックス5をよりレイアウトしやすくなる上、高電圧充電ポート15Hと回路ボックス5との間のハーネス16cをより短くすることができて、高電圧電力を充電する際の電力損失を抑制しやすくなる。また、バッテリアセンブリ7および充電器6を回路ボックス5の後方に配置することで、車両1の前後方向の重量バランスをとりやすくなる。   In the present embodiment, the charging port 15 is disposed at the front portion of the vehicle 1, the circuit box 5 is disposed in the front compartment 8, and the battery assembly 7 and the charger 6 are mounted behind the circuit box 5. Configured. Therefore, the circuit box 5 can be laid out more easily, and the harness 16c between the high voltage charging port 15H and the circuit box 5 can be shortened to suppress power loss when charging high voltage power. It becomes easy. Further, by arranging the battery assembly 7 and the charger 6 behind the circuit box 5, it becomes easy to balance the weight of the vehicle 1 in the front-rear direction.
