Description

本発明は車両用バッテリパックに関し、さらに詳しくは、冷却装置を備える車両用バッテリパックに関する。   The present invention relates to a vehicle battery pack, and more particularly to a vehicle battery pack including a cooling device.

電動車両に搭載されるバッテリパックは、出力性能を高めるために、冷却ファンによってバッテリの温度を適温に保つことが望ましい。そこで、車両走行中や一時停止（例えば、渋滞、信号待ちなど）中に拘わらずに、バッテリパック用の冷却ファンは、バッテリの温度が閾値以上になった場合に回転するようになっている。そして、バッテリパックは、バッテリを冷却した空気を、排気ダクトを介して外部へ排出するようになっている。一方、車両走行中や一時停止中であっても、バッテリの温度が閾値以下になった場合には、バッテリの温度を適温に戻すために、冷却ファンの回転を停止するようになっている。   In order to improve output performance, it is desirable that the battery pack mounted on the electric vehicle be kept at an appropriate temperature by a cooling fan. Therefore, regardless of whether the vehicle is running or temporarily stopped (for example, traffic jam, waiting for a signal, etc.), the cooling fan for the battery pack rotates when the temperature of the battery exceeds a threshold value. The battery pack discharges the air that has cooled the battery to the outside through the exhaust duct. On the other hand, even when the vehicle is running or temporarily stopped, when the temperature of the battery falls below the threshold value, the rotation of the cooling fan is stopped in order to return the battery temperature to an appropriate temperature.

従来、車両のフロアパネルの下部にバッテリユニット（バッテリパック）を配置した技術が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。バッテリユニットにおける車両前後方向の前端部には、冷却風導入口が設けられている。この冷却風導入口には、シャッタが設けられている。そして、この冷却風導入口には、車両外部から車室内前部まで延びる送風ダクトが取り付けられている。さらに、バッテリユニットの下部には、冷却風の排出口が設けられている。   Conventionally, a technique has been proposed in which a battery unit (battery pack) is disposed in a lower part of a floor panel of a vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1). A cooling air inlet is provided at the front end of the battery unit in the vehicle longitudinal direction. A shutter is provided at the cooling air inlet. And the ventilation duct extended from the vehicle exterior to a vehicle interior front part is attached to this cooling wind inlet. Furthermore, an outlet for cooling air is provided at the lower part of the battery unit.

しかしながら、上記のバッテリユニットの構造および搭載構造では、送風ダクトと車体部品とが干渉しないようにバッテリユニットと送風ダクトとを別々に車体に組み付ける必要があった。このため、従来構造では、作業者の作業負担が増加するという課題がある。したがって、この従来構造では、バッテリユニットの組付性が低下するという課題がある。   However, in the battery unit structure and mounting structure described above, the battery unit and the air duct need to be separately assembled to the vehicle body so that the air duct and the vehicle body parts do not interfere with each other. For this reason, in the conventional structure, there exists a subject that the work burden of an operator increases. Therefore, in this conventional structure, there exists a subject that the assembly | attachment property of a battery unit falls.

また、上記の従来構造のバッテリユニットでは、バッテリユニットの最下部に冷却風の排出口が開口しているため、雨天時の車両走行や高圧洗浄した際に、雨水や洗浄水などが排出口に流れ込んで、バッテリユニット内部へと侵入し易くなる。このため、このようなバッテリユニットでは、雨水や洗浄水などでバッテリユニット内の結線部（例えば、電力・電流を伝えるバスバーなど）に腐食が発生したり、錆が発生したりして、バッテリの出力性能が低下する虞がある。   Moreover, in the battery unit having the above-described conventional structure, the cooling air discharge port is opened at the lowermost part of the battery unit. It flows in easily and enters the inside of the battery unit. For this reason, in such a battery unit, rainwater, washing water, etc. may cause corrosion or rust in the connection part (for example, a bus bar that transmits power / current). There is a risk that the output performance will deteriorate.

さらに、上記の従来構造のバッテリユニットでは、冷却風導入口にシャッタを設けているものの、排出口はシャッタを設けずに外部に露出している。このため、車両の一時停止時、あるいは渋滞時に、エンジンから排出される排気ガスがバッテリユニット内へと流れ易くなるという問題がある。この排気ガス中には、水分やその他の物質が含まれているため、バッテリユニットに悪影響を与える。冷却風導入口に設けられたシャッタは、排気ガスの侵入を防止するものではなく、万一、車室内から水滴が浸入しないようにするためのものであって、車外の排気ガスの侵入を防止するものではない。   Further, in the battery unit having the above-described conventional structure, although the shutter is provided at the cooling air introduction port, the discharge port is exposed to the outside without providing the shutter. For this reason, there is a problem that exhaust gas discharged from the engine easily flows into the battery unit when the vehicle is temporarily stopped or congested. Since this exhaust gas contains moisture and other substances, the battery unit is adversely affected. The shutter provided at the cooling air inlet does not prevent the intrusion of exhaust gas, but should prevent water droplets from entering the interior of the vehicle and prevent the ingress of exhaust gas outside the vehicle. Not what you want.

また、上記の従来構造のバッテリユニットでは、冷却ファンから最も遠い位置に冷却風導入口が設けられている。このため、冷却風導入口では冷却ファンの回転によって生じる風圧が弱まってしまう。したがって、冷却ファンの回転で生じる風圧では、シャッタが開閉しない虞がある。さらに、上記の従来構造のバッテリユニットでは、冷却風導入口に比較的大きなシャッタが一つのみ設けられている。このため、シャッタの重量が比較的重くなって、冷却ファンによる風圧のみでは開閉できなくなる虞がある。したがって、従来構造のバッテリユニットでは、バッテリの出力性能を低下させる虞がある。   In the battery unit having the conventional structure, the cooling air introduction port is provided at a position farthest from the cooling fan. For this reason, the wind pressure generated by the rotation of the cooling fan is weakened at the cooling air introduction port. Therefore, there is a possibility that the shutter may not be opened and closed by the wind pressure generated by the rotation of the cooling fan. Furthermore, in the battery unit having the conventional structure, only one relatively large shutter is provided at the cooling air inlet. For this reason, the weight of the shutter becomes relatively heavy, and there is a possibility that the shutter cannot be opened / closed only by the wind pressure from the cooling fan. Therefore, in the battery unit having a conventional structure, the output performance of the battery may be reduced.

本発明は、上記の課題に鑑みてなされたものであって、組付性を良好にしつつ、雨水や洗浄水などが内部へ浸入することを抑制し、バッテリの出力性能を向上するバッテリパックを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a battery pack that improves the output performance of a battery by preventing rainwater, washing water, and the like from entering the inside while improving the assemblability. The purpose is to provide.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the discharge port 5 </ b> B and the discharge port 25 are connected to communicate with each other through a cooling fan duct 6.

（冷却風排出流路）
特に、図５および図６に示すように、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、ケース上部２１に形成された排出口２５の外側周縁に沿ってこの排出口２５の近傍を囲むように排気フード７が設けられている。そして、図９および図１０に示すように、冷却ファン用ダクト６と排気フード７とは、冷却風排出流路２７を構成している。また、この冷却風排出流路２７内には、冷却ファン５から送風が行われたときにこの冷却風排出流路２７を開放し、かつ冷却ファン５からの送風が停止されているときに冷却風排出流路２７を閉塞する流路開閉部２８が設けられている。 (Cooling air discharge flow path)
In particular, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, the exhaust is performed so as to surround the vicinity of the discharge port 25 along the outer peripheral edge of the discharge port 25 formed in the case upper portion 21. A hood 7 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the cooling fan duct 6 and the exhaust hood 7 constitute a cooling air discharge passage 27. In addition, the cooling air discharge passage 27 is opened when the cooling fan 5 blows air, and the cooling air discharge passage 27 is opened and the cooling fan 5 stops cooling. A flow path opening / closing section 28 that closes the wind discharge flow path 27 is provided.

（流路開閉部）
本実施の形態では、流路開閉部２８は、排出口２５と略同じ位置に設けられている。図１１に示すように、この流路開閉部２８は、車両水平方向（左右方向）に隣接する弁体２９の対が上下に２対並ぶように４つの弁体２９を備えている。それぞれの弁体２９は、上縁部２９Ａを中心に揺動可能となるように、流路開閉部２８側に係止されている。これら弁体２９は、冷却ファン５から送風された際に、その風圧により弁体２９がケース２の外側方向（後方）へ向けて回動するようになっている。このため、図１０に示すように、冷却風（温風）Ｓ２は、排出口２５および排気フード７を介してケース２の外部へ排出される。一方、これら弁体２９は、冷却ファン５の作動が停止すると、冷却風の送風が停止するため、自重により流路開閉部２８を閉じる位置に戻るようになっている。この状態では、冷却風は、流路開閉部２８により排出口２５からケース２の外部へ排出されないように設定されている。 (Flow path opening / closing part)
In the present embodiment, the flow path opening / closing part 28 is provided at substantially the same position as the discharge port 25. As shown in FIG. 11, the flow path opening / closing portion 28 includes four valve bodies 29 so that two pairs of valve bodies 29 adjacent in the horizontal direction (left-right direction) are aligned vertically. Each valve element 29 is locked to the flow path opening / closing part 28 side so as to be swingable about the upper edge part 29A. When these valve bodies 29 are blown from the cooling fan 5, the valve bodies 29 are rotated toward the outer side (rear) of the case 2 by the wind pressure. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, the cooling air (warm air) S <b> 2 is discharged to the outside of the case 2 through the discharge port 25 and the exhaust hood 7. On the other hand, when the operation of the cooling fan 5 stops, these valve bodies 29 return to a position where the flow path opening / closing portion 28 is closed by its own weight because the blowing of cooling air is stopped. In this state, the cooling air is set so as not to be discharged from the discharge port 25 to the outside of the case 2 by the flow path opening / closing part 28.

流路開閉部２８では、これら複数の弁体２９の全部が同時に閉じたときに、冷却風排出流路２８を全体的に閉塞可能とするようになっている。そして、それぞれの弁体２９は、冷却風の圧力に応じて、冷却風排出流路２７を、部分的に開放と閉塞を独自に行うようになっている。なお、本実施の形態では、複数の弁体２９は、同形状で同じ重さに設定しているため、複数の弁体２９の開閉動作は冷却風に応じて略同時に行うようになっている。   In the flow path opening / closing section 28, the cooling air discharge flow path 28 can be totally closed when all of the plurality of valve bodies 29 are simultaneously closed. Each valve body 29 is designed to partially open and close the cooling air discharge passage 27 in accordance with the pressure of the cooling air. In the present embodiment, since the plurality of valve bodies 29 are set to have the same shape and the same weight, the opening and closing operations of the plurality of valve bodies 29 are performed substantially simultaneously according to the cooling air. .

（排気フード）
図１０および図１１に示すように、排気フード７は、ケース上部２１に形成した排出口２５の外側周縁に沿って排出口２５の近傍のみを囲むように排出口２５から外側へ向けた突出長さが短く設定されている。排気フード７は、その突出長さが短いながらも、排出口２５から側方（車両搭載時の車両前後方向後方）へ直線的に突出するように形成されている。図１０に示すように、排気フード７における、上側に配置されたフード上側壁部３０の先端部３０Ａは、下側（車両搭載時の車両上下方向）に配置されたフード下側壁部３１の先端部３１Ａよりも側方（後方）へ突出している。排気フード７の両側（左右方向の両側）には、フード側壁部３２が設けられている。そして、排気フード７の下流端部には、冷却風（温風）を側方（後方）へ吐出させる空気吐出口３３が形成されている。フード下側壁部３１の先端部３１Ａには、空気吐出口３３の上縁部、すなわちフード上側壁部３０の先端部３０Ａに向かって立ち上がる立壁部３４が形成されている。 (Exhaust hood)
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the exhaust hood 7 protrudes outward from the discharge port 25 so as to surround only the vicinity of the discharge port 25 along the outer peripheral edge of the discharge port 25 formed in the upper portion 21 of the case. Is set short. The exhaust hood 7 is formed so as to project linearly from the discharge port 25 to the side (rear in the vehicle front-rear direction when mounted on the vehicle), although the projecting length is short. As shown in FIG. 10, in the exhaust hood 7, the front end 30 </ b> A of the hood upper side wall portion 30 disposed on the upper side is the front end of the hood lower side wall portion 31 disposed on the lower side (the vehicle vertical direction when mounted on the vehicle). It protrudes to the side (rear) from the portion 31A. Hood side walls 32 are provided on both sides of the exhaust hood 7 (both sides in the left-right direction). An air discharge port 33 for discharging cooling air (warm air) to the side (rear) is formed at the downstream end of the exhaust hood 7. A standing wall portion 34 that rises toward the upper edge portion of the air discharge port 33, that is, the distal end portion 30 </ b> A of the hood upper side wall portion 30, is formed at the distal end portion 31 </ b> A of the hood lower side wall portion 31.

図１１に示すように、本実施の形態では、排気フード７の上流端部３５内に上記流路開閉部２８が設けられている。この上流端部３５の外周面における上側面および下側面には、外側方向（筒体状の排気フード７の中心軸から遠ざかる方向）に突出する係合用爪部３６と係止部３７とが形成されている。これら係合用爪部３６と係止部３７とは、対をなし、排気フード７の前後方向に所定間隔を隔てて突設されている。そして、係合用爪部３６と係止部３７の対は、排気フード７の上流端部３５の外周面の上側面と下側面のそれぞれに左右方向に沿って２対ずつ設けられている。図１０に示すように、排気フード７は、ケース２のケース上部２１に形成された排出口２５に対して、係合用爪部３６と係止部３７とで、この排出口２５の周縁部を挟むように取り付けられている。係合用爪部３６には、排気フード７を、上流端部３５側からケース上部２１の排出口２５に挿入したときに、排出口２５の開口縁がスライドしながら乗り上げる係合用斜面３６Ａが形成されている。排出口２５の開口縁は、係合用斜面３６Ａを相対的に乗り越えたときに係合用爪部３６と係止部３７との間に配置されて固定される。なお、図１０に示すように、本実施の形態では、係止部３７と排出口２５の開口縁部との間にパッキン３８が介在されるようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, the flow path opening / closing portion 28 is provided in the upstream end portion 35 of the exhaust hood 7.

［バッテリパックの動作、作用、および効果］
以下、バッテリパック１自体の動作、作用、および効果について説明する。図５および図６に示すように、バッテリパック１内のバッテリ３の温度が閾値以上になった場合、冷却ファン５が回転する。冷却ファン５の回転に伴い、バッテリパック１内でバッテリ３の周りを通過した冷却風（矢印Ｓ１）が冷却ファン５の吸引口５Ａから吸引され、冷却ファン用ダクト６を介して排出口２５から排出される（矢印Ｓ２）。このとき、図１０に示すように、排気フード７の上流端部に設けられた流路開閉部２８の複数の弁体２９は冷却ファン５側から風圧を受けて、上縁部２９Ａを中心にして、例えば図中一点鎖線で示す位置まで揺動して冷却風（矢印Ｓ３）を通過させる。図５および図６に示すように、冷却ファン５が回転した場合、エアクリーナ４の吸入口２４からバッテリパック１の外部の空気（矢印Ｓ４）が導入される。図６および図７に示すように、バッテリパック１内に導入された冷却風（Ｓ５）は、空気案内路２０に導かれてバッテリ３の下まで案内される。エアクリーナ４の吸入口２４はバッテリパック１の上部に配置されているため、このバッテリパック１が車両に搭載された場合に、吸入口２４まで雨水や洗浄水や小昆虫などの浸入が及びにくいという利点がある。 [Operation, operation, and effect of battery pack]
Hereinafter, the operation, action, and effect of the battery pack 1 itself will be described. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the temperature of the battery 3 in the battery pack 1 becomes equal to or higher than the threshold value, the cooling fan 5 rotates. With the rotation of the cooling fan 5, the cooling air (arrow S <b> 1) that has passed around the battery 3 in the battery pack 1 is sucked from the suction port 5 </ b> A of the cooling fan 5 and is discharged from the discharge port 25 through the cooling fan duct 6. It is discharged (arrow S2). At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the plurality of valve bodies 29 of the flow path opening / closing section 28 provided at the upstream end of the exhaust hood 7 receive wind pressure from the cooling fan 5 side, and the upper edge 29A is the center. Thus, for example, the cooling air (arrow S3) is allowed to pass through by swinging to the position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the cooling fan 5 rotates, air outside the battery pack 1 (arrow S <b> 4) is introduced from the suction port 24 of the air cleaner 4. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the cooling air (S <b> 5) introduced into the battery pack 1 is guided to the air guide path 20 and guided to the bottom of the battery 3. Since the suction port 24 of the air cleaner 4 is disposed on the upper part of the battery pack 1, it is difficult for rainwater, washing water, small insects, and the like to enter the suction port 24 when the battery pack 1 is mounted on a vehicle. There are advantages.

上記の構成を有するバッテリパック１は、冷却ファン５の回転時に、万一、一部の弁体２９が作動または揺動しなかった場合であっても、他の弁体２９への風量が増し、他の弁体２９を確実に開くことができる。また、流路開閉部２８に複数の弁体２９を並置したことにより、それぞれの弁体２９を小型化あるいは軽量化できる。このため、流路開閉部２８では、冷却ファン５の回転時の風圧が小さい場合であっても、風圧によって複数の弁体２９のうち少なくともいずれかを確実に揺動させることができる。これによって、バッテリパック１内の冷却風を、流路開閉部２８を介して外部へと吐き出すことができ、バッテリを確実に冷却して出力性能を高めることができる。さらに、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、冷却風を排出していない場合に、流路開閉部２８の弁体が閉じるため、雨水や洗浄水や小昆虫などが浸入することを防止できる。   In the battery pack 1 having the above-described configuration, even if some of the valve bodies 29 do not operate or swing during the rotation of the cooling fan 5, the air volume to the other valve bodies 29 increases. The other valve body 29 can be opened reliably. Further, since the plurality of valve bodies 29 are juxtaposed to the flow path opening / closing portion 28, each valve body 29 can be reduced in size or weight. For this reason, in the flow path opening / closing part 28, even when the wind pressure during rotation of the cooling fan 5 is small, at least one of the plurality of valve bodies 29 can be reliably swung by the wind pressure. As a result, the cooling air in the battery pack 1 can be discharged to the outside through the flow path opening / closing part 28, and the battery can be reliably cooled to improve the output performance. Furthermore, in the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, when the cooling air is not discharged, the valve body of the flow path opening / closing unit 28 is closed, so that it is possible to prevent rainwater, washing water, small insects, and the like from entering. .

本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、排気フード７を直線的に突出させ、その全長が短いため、排気フード７による圧力損失が小さく、通気抵抗を低くできる。これによって、冷却ファン５の低出力化が可能になり、冷却ファン５の消費電力を少なくしてもバッテリ３に十分な冷却風を流し込むことができる。また、排気フード７のフード下側壁部３１の先端部３１Ａに立壁部３４を形成したことにより、このバッテリパック１を車両の下部に搭載した際に、雨水や洗浄水や小昆虫などが空気吐出口３３へと入り込むことを抑制できる。   In the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, the exhaust hood 7 is projected linearly and its entire length is short. Therefore, the pressure loss due to the exhaust hood 7 is small, and the ventilation resistance can be reduced. As a result, the output of the cooling fan 5 can be reduced, and sufficient cooling air can be poured into the battery 3 even if the power consumption of the cooling fan 5 is reduced. Further, since the standing wall portion 34 is formed at the tip portion 31A of the hood lower side wall portion 31 of the exhaust hood 7, when the battery pack 1 is mounted on the lower portion of the vehicle, rain water, washing water, small insects, etc. The entry into the outlet 33 can be suppressed.

本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、係合用爪部３６と係止部３７とで、ケース２（ケース上部２１）の排出口２５の周縁を挟むだけでよいため、排気フード７をケース２の排出口２５に簡単に取り付けることができる。また、係合用爪部３６と係止部３７とでケース２の排出口２５の周縁部を挟むことにより、排気フード７のがたつきの発生を防止できる。このため、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、排気フード７をケース２へ安定して固定でき、排気フード７の取付性を高めることができる。   In the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, the exhaust claw portion 36 and the locking portion 37 need only sandwich the periphery of the discharge port 25 of the case 2 (case upper portion 21). It can be easily attached to the discharge port 25. Further, when the peripheral portion of the discharge port 25 of the case 2 is sandwiched between the engaging claw portion 36 and the engaging portion 37, the occurrence of rattling of the exhaust hood 7 can be prevented. For this reason, in the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, the exhaust hood 7 can be stably fixed to the case 2 and the attachment of the exhaust hood 7 can be improved.

［バッテリパックの車両搭載構造］
次に、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１の車両搭載構造について説明する。図１に示すように、バッテリパック１は、車両後部１０１のリヤフロアパネル１０５に形成した開口部１１０を覆うカバー部材１１１内に、ケース上部２１が下方から挿入された状態で保持されている。すなわち、図１および図４に示すように、バッテリパック１のケース２に設けられたフランジ部２３は、バッテリパック支持部材１１２に搭載された状態で固定されている。 [Battery pack mounting structure]
Next, the vehicle mounting structure of the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the battery pack 1 is held in a cover member 111 that covers an opening 110 formed in the rear floor panel 105 of the vehicle rear portion 101 with a case upper portion 21 inserted from below. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the flange portion 23 provided in the case 2 of the battery pack 1 is fixed in a state of being mounted on the battery pack support member 112.

図６に示すように、バッテリパック１の吸入口２４は、カバー部材１１１の天井部としてのリッド１１１Ｂの下面と、バッテリパック１（ケース上部２１）の頂面とで挟まれた天井面側隙間１０３Ａに配置されている。このため、エアクリーナ４は、バッテリパック１が搭載された天井面側隙間１０３Ａから空気を取り入れるようになっている。また、バッテリパック１の排気フード７は、カバー部材１１１のカバーパネル１１１Ａの内面と、ケース２（ケース上部２１）の外側面（後面部２Ｒ）と、で挟まれた周面側隙間１０３Ｂ内に配置されている。   As shown in FIG. 6, the suction port 24 of the battery pack 1 is a ceiling surface side gap sandwiched between the lower surface of the lid 111 </ b> B as the ceiling portion of the cover member 111 and the top surface of the battery pack 1 (case upper portion 21). 103A. For this reason, the air cleaner 4 takes in air from the ceiling surface side gap 103A on which the battery pack 1 is mounted. Further, the exhaust hood 7 of the battery pack 1 is in a circumferential surface side gap 103B sandwiched between the inner surface of the cover panel 111A of the cover member 111 and the outer surface (rear surface portion 2R) of the case 2 (case upper portion 21). Has been placed.

上記のバッテリパック１の搭載構造においては、上述したバッテリパック１の作用・効果に加えて、以下に説明するような作用・効果を奏する。すなわち、一般に、リヤフロアパネル１０５は、車室のフロアに比べて高い位置に設けられている。したがって、上記の搭載構造では、バッテリパック１におけるケース下部２２を、リヤフロアパネル１０５の下方の大きな空間を利用して配置している。このため、本実施の形態では、全体として容量の大きくサイズが大きなバッテリパック１を、リヤフロアパネル１０５の上下の空間に効率的に搭載できる。   In the mounting structure of the battery pack 1 described above, in addition to the operations and effects of the battery pack 1 described above, there are operations and effects as described below. That is, in general, the rear floor panel 105 is provided at a higher position than the floor of the passenger compartment. Therefore, in the mounting structure described above, the case lower portion 22 in the battery pack 1 is arranged using a large space below the rear floor panel 105. Therefore, in the present embodiment, battery pack 1 having a large capacity and a large size as a whole can be efficiently mounted in the space above and below rear floor panel 105.

また、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１は、排気フード７が排出口２５の近傍を囲む程度の短い長さであるため、ケース２に排気フード７を組み付けた状態で、バッテリパック１を車体の下方からリヤフロアパネル１０５の開口部１１０へ容易に挿入できる。本実施の形態では、排気フード７およびバッテリパック１が車体部品（カバー部材１１１など）と干渉することを防止できる。このため、排気フード７およびバッテリパック１を同時に車体に組み付けることができる。したがって、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、組付性を高めることができる。   In addition, since the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment has a short length so that the exhaust hood 7 surrounds the vicinity of the discharge port 25, the battery pack 1 is mounted on the vehicle body with the exhaust hood 7 assembled to the case 2. Can be easily inserted into the opening 110 of the rear floor panel 105 from below. In the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the exhaust hood 7 and the battery pack 1 from interfering with vehicle body parts (such as the cover member 111). For this reason, the exhaust hood 7 and the battery pack 1 can be assembled to the vehicle body at the same time. Therefore, in the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, the assemblability can be improved.

また、本実施の形態では、排出口２５または排気フード７や吸入口２４がリヤフロアパネル１０５よりも高い位置で、かつバッテリパック１とカバー部材１１１との狭い隙間（天井面側隙間１０３Ａ、周面側隙間１０３Ｂ）に配置されている。このため、車両１００を雨天時に走行させたり、高圧洗浄を行ったりした場合であっても、雨水や洗浄水（埃などを含む）などが排出口２５や排気フード７や吸入口２４へと浸入し難くなる効果がある。したがって、本実施の形態では、雨水や洗浄水などがバッテリパック１内へ入り込むことを防止できる。これによって、バッテリパック１内の結線部（例えば、バスバーなど）の腐食や錆の発生を抑えることができ、バッテリ３の出力性能が低下することを抑制できる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the exhaust port 25 or the exhaust hood 7 and the intake port 24 are at a position higher than the rear floor panel 105, and a narrow gap between the battery pack 1 and the cover member 111 (the ceiling surface side gap 103A, the circumferential surface). It is arranged in the side gap 103B). For this reason, even when the vehicle 100 is run in the rain or when high-pressure washing is performed, rainwater, washing water (including dust) enters the discharge port 25, the exhaust hood 7, and the suction port 24. There is an effect that becomes difficult. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent rainwater, washing water and the like from entering the battery pack 1. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of corrosion and rust at the connection portion (for example, a bus bar) in the battery pack 1, and it is possible to suppress the output performance of the battery 3 from being lowered.

図１１に示すように、上記構造では、排気フード７の上流端部３５内に流路開閉部２８を設けて、この流路開閉部２８に冷却ファン５の回転による風圧により揺動する弁体２９を取り付けている。このため、冷却ファン５の回転時には、冷却ファン５で発生された冷却風の風圧で弁体２９が揺動して流路開閉部２８を開き、冷却ファン５の停止時には弁体２９の自重で流路開閉部２８を閉じることができる。バッテリ３の温度が閾値以下になった場合には、冷却ファン５の回転が停止して、バッテリパック１内での冷却風の流れが止まる。このため、本実施の形態では、冷却ファン５が停止時に、バッテリパック１内の冷却風が弁体２９によって排気フード内と流れて外部に吐き出されることを抑制でき、バッテリパック内の温度が低下することを防止できる。これによって、冷却ファン５が停止時において、バッテリパックの温度を速やかに高めることができる。このように、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１を車両１００に搭載することにより、バッテリ３の温度を適温に保つことができ、バッテリ３の出力性能を向上させることができる。   As shown in FIG. 11, in the structure described above, a flow path opening / closing part 28 is provided in the upstream end portion 35 of the exhaust hood 7, and the valve body swings in the flow path opening / closing part 28 due to the wind pressure due to the rotation of the cooling fan 5. 29 is attached. For this reason, when the cooling fan 5 rotates, the valve body 29 swings due to the wind pressure of the cooling air generated by the cooling fan 5 to open the flow path opening / closing part 28, and when the cooling fan 5 stops, the valve body 29 has its own weight. The channel opening / closing part 28 can be closed. When the temperature of the battery 3 becomes equal to or lower than the threshold value, the cooling fan 5 stops rotating and the flow of cooling air in the battery pack 1 stops. For this reason, in this Embodiment, when the cooling fan 5 stops, it can suppress that the cooling air in the battery pack 1 flows into the exhaust hood by the valve body 29, and is discharged | emitted outside, and the temperature in a battery pack falls. Can be prevented. Thereby, the temperature of the battery pack can be quickly raised when the cooling fan 5 is stopped. Thus, by mounting the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment on the vehicle 100, the temperature of the battery 3 can be kept at an appropriate temperature, and the output performance of the battery 3 can be improved.

さらに、本実施の形態では、バッテリ３の温度が閾値以下になり冷却ファン５が停止した状態で、車両１００が渋滞や信号待ちなどで一時停止したとしても、弁体２９で排気フード７の流路開閉部２８を閉鎖することができる。このため、エンジンの排気ガスがリヤフロアパネル１０５の下方から排気フード７内へと流れ込んだとしても、弁体２９で排気ガスがバッテリパック１内に流れ込むことを遮断できる。また、上述のように、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、吸入口２４を排気フード７（または、排出口２５）よりも高い位置に配置させている。加えて、吸入口２４がカバー部材１１１のリッド１１１Ｂ下面とバッテリパック１の頂面との間の天井面側隙間１０３Ａで開口しているため、排気ガスが吸入口２４に侵入することを極力防止できる。これによって、排気ガスに含まれる水分や他の物質がバッテリパック１内の結線部（例えば、バスバーなど）に触れることを防止できる。このため、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１およびその搭載構造によれば、結線部の寿命を向上させることができ、バッテリ３の出力性能を高めることができる。   Furthermore, in the present embodiment, even if the vehicle 100 is temporarily stopped due to traffic jam or waiting for a signal while the temperature of the battery 3 is below the threshold value and the cooling fan 5 is stopped, the flow of the exhaust hood 7 is stopped by the valve element 29. The road opening / closing part 28 can be closed. For this reason, even if the exhaust gas of the engine flows into the exhaust hood 7 from below the rear floor panel 105, the valve body 29 can block the exhaust gas from flowing into the battery pack 1. Further, as described above, in the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, the suction port 24 is arranged at a position higher than the exhaust hood 7 (or the discharge port 25). In addition, since the suction port 24 opens at the ceiling surface side gap 103A between the lower surface of the lid 111B of the cover member 111 and the top surface of the battery pack 1, it is possible to prevent the exhaust gas from entering the suction port 24 as much as possible. it can. As a result, it is possible to prevent moisture and other substances contained in the exhaust gas from touching the connection portion (for example, a bus bar) in the battery pack 1. For this reason, according to the battery pack 1 and its mounting structure according to the present embodiment, the life of the connection portion can be improved, and the output performance of the battery 3 can be improved.

さらに、本実施の形態では、排気フード７の空気吐出口３３をカバー部材１１１（カバーパネル１１１Ａ）の内周面と対向させるため、雨水や洗浄水や水分を含んだ埃が排気フードの空気吐出口３３へ直接入り込むことを防止できる。また、バッテリパック１において、排気フード７の空気吐出口３３の上縁部に形成されたフード上側壁部３０の先端部３０Ａがフード下側壁部３１の先端部３１Ａよりも側方に突出している。このため、フード上側壁部３０の先端部３０Ａとカバーパネル１１１Ａの内面との間が狭くなっている。したがって、空気吐出口３３から吐き出された冷却風（温風）が排気フード７のフード上側壁部３０とカバーパネル１１１Ａとの間の隙間を通過し難くなっている。このため、この搭載構造では、排気フード７から吐き出された冷却風（温風）が、バッテリパック１の吸入口２４へと流れて、再度、吸入口からバッテリパック内へ流れ込むことを抑制できる。   Further, in the present embodiment, since the air discharge port 33 of the exhaust hood 7 is opposed to the inner peripheral surface of the cover member 111 (cover panel 111A), dust containing rain water, washing water, and moisture is discharged from the exhaust hood. Direct entry into the outlet 33 can be prevented. Further, in the battery pack 1, the front end portion 30 </ b> A of the hood upper side wall portion 30 formed at the upper edge portion of the air discharge port 33 of the exhaust hood 7 protrudes laterally from the front end portion 31 </ b> A of the hood lower side wall portion 31. . For this reason, the space between the front end portion 30A of the hood upper side wall portion 30 and the inner surface of the cover panel 111A is narrow. Accordingly, it is difficult for the cooling air (warm air) discharged from the air discharge port 33 to pass through the gap between the hood upper side wall portion 30 of the exhaust hood 7 and the cover panel 111A. For this reason, in this mounting structure, it is possible to prevent the cooling air (warm air) discharged from the exhaust hood 7 from flowing into the suction port 24 of the battery pack 1 and flowing into the battery pack again from the suction port.

本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、リヤフロアパネル１０５の下方側に冷却風を排出するため、バッテリパック１内で熱を吸収して暖められた冷却風を荷室に排出することなく車外へ排出することができる。このため、本実施の形態に係るバッテリパック１では、冷却性能を向上できる。   In the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, the cooling air is discharged to the lower side of the rear floor panel 105. Therefore, the cooling air heated by absorbing heat in the battery pack 1 is discharged outside the vehicle without discharging it to the luggage compartment. Can be discharged. For this reason, in the battery pack 1 according to the present embodiment, the cooling performance can be improved.
