Description

本発明は、車両に搭載されるバッテリパックの保護構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a protection structure for a battery pack mounted on a vehicle.

内燃機関およびモータを駆動源とするハイブリッド自動車や、モータを駆動源とする電気自動車等にあっては、駆動用の電源となるバッテリモジュールを収容したバッテリパックが搭載されている。このため、車両に外力が加わった場合にバッテリパックを保護する必要がある。   In a hybrid vehicle using an internal combustion engine and a motor as a drive source, an electric vehicle using a motor as a drive source, and the like, a battery pack containing a battery module serving as a driving power source is mounted. For this reason, it is necessary to protect the battery pack when an external force is applied to the vehicle.

従来のバッテリパックの保護構造としては、例えば、特許文献1に記載される車体の下部構造が知られている。   As a conventional battery pack protection structure, for example, a lower structure of a vehicle body described in Patent Document 1 is known.

この車体の下部構造は、車幅方向両側に配置され、車両前後方向に沿って延在するサイドシルと、フロアパネルの下面に接合され、サイドシルよりも上側でかつ車幅方向内側に車両前後方向に沿って延在するサイドメンバと、サイドメンバの下部とサイドシルの上側とを連結するブレースメンバと、サイドメンバの下部とサイドシルの下側とを連結する外側クロスメンバとを備えている。   The lower structure of the vehicle body is disposed on both sides in the vehicle width direction, and is joined to the side sill extending along the vehicle front-rear direction and the lower surface of the floor panel, and is located above the side sill and in the vehicle width direction in the vehicle front-rear direction. A side member extending along the side, a brace member connecting the lower part of the side member and the upper side of the side sill, and an outer cross member connecting the lower part of the side member and the lower side of the side sill.

さらに、車体の下部構造は、サイドメンバの下側に配置されると共にバッテリを支持するバッテリ支持部材と、バッテリ支持部材のバッテリフレームの車幅方向外側とサイドメンバとを連結する連結ブラケットとを備えている。   Further, the lower structure of the vehicle body includes a battery support member that is disposed below the side member and supports the battery, and a connection bracket that connects the outer side of the battery frame of the battery support member in the vehicle width direction and the side member. ing.

これにより、車両側方からサイドシルに荷重が入力された場合に、サイドシルからブレースメンバおよび外側クロスメンバを介してサイドメンバの底面に荷重が伝達される一方、フロアパネルを介してサイドメンバの上端フランジにも荷重が伝達される。   As a result, when a load is input to the side sill from the side of the vehicle, the load is transmitted from the side sill to the bottom surface of the side member via the brace member and the outer cross member, while the upper end flange of the side member via the floor panel. The load is also transmitted.

このため、サイドメンバは、高さ位置が略一定のまま回転され、バッテリフレームも上方に移動することが抑制されて、バッテリ支持部の変形が抑制される。この結果、バッテリがサイドメンバに接触することが防止される。   For this reason, the side member is rotated while the height position is substantially constant, the battery frame is also prevented from moving upward, and the deformation of the battery support portion is suppressed. As a result, the battery is prevented from contacting the side member.

特許第5435136号公報Japanese Patent No. 5435136

これにより、車両側方からサイドシルに入力される荷重が大きい場合には、バッテリ支持部が大きく変形するおそれがあり、バッテリ支持部の変形に伴ってバッテリ支持部がバッテリに強く干渉するおそれがある。   Thereby, when the load input to the side sill from the side of the vehicle is large, the battery support portion may be greatly deformed, and the battery support portion may strongly interfere with the battery along with the deformation of the battery support portion. .

本発明は、上記のような問題点に着目してなされたものであり、車体に外力が加わった場合に、バッテリケースに衝撃が加わることを抑制することができ、バッテリパックを容易に保護することができるバッテリパックの保護構造を提供することを目的とするものである。   The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-described problems, and when an external force is applied to the vehicle body, it is possible to suppress the impact to the battery case and to easily protect the battery pack. An object of the present invention is to provide a protection structure for a battery pack.

バッテリケース14は、一対のロアケース15およびアッパケース16を備えている。ロアケース15にはフランジ15Aが形成されており、フランジ15Aは、ロアケース15の外周部において周方向に延びている。   The battery case 14 includes a pair of a lower case 15 and an upper case 16. A flange 15 </ b> A is formed in the lower case 15, and the flange 15 </ b> A extends in the circumferential direction at the outer peripheral portion of the lower case 15.

アッパケース16にはフランジ16Aが形成されており、フランジ16Aは、アッパケース16の外周部において周方向に延びている。フランジ16Aは、フランジ15Aに対向して位置合わせされることにより、図示しないボルトおよびナットによってロアケース15のフランジ15Aに接合される。
これにより、バッテリケース14が中空状となり、バッテリケース14の内部にバッテリモジュール12およびインバータ13が収容される。
A flange 16 </ b> A is formed in the upper case 16, and the flange 16 </ b> A extends in the circumferential direction at the outer peripheral portion of the upper case 16. The flange 16A is joined to the flange 15A of the lower case 15 by bolts and nuts (not shown) by being positioned facing the flange 15A.
Thereby, the battery case 14 becomes hollow, and the battery module 12 and the inverter 13 are accommodated in the battery case 14.

図3において、ロアケース15の前側の壁面と左右の壁面にはブラケット17Aから17Cが固定されており、ブラケット17Aから17Cは、凹部7の内周壁面に締結されている。   In FIG. 3, brackets 17 </ b> A to 17 </ b> C are fixed to the front wall surface and the left and right wall surfaces of the lower case 15, and the brackets 17 </ b> A to 17 </ b> C are fastened to the inner peripheral wall surface of the recess 7.

これにより、バッテリパック11は、ロアケース15が凹部7に収容された状態で凹部7に固定され、アッパケース16がフロアパネル3のパネル面3aから上方に突出した状態で凹部7に装着される。本実施例のフロアパネル3およびバックパネル4は、本発明の車体を構成し、凹部7は、本発明の収容部を構成する。   As a result, the battery pack 11 is fixed to the recess 7 with the lower case 15 being accommodated in the recess 7, and is attached to the recess 7 with the upper case 16 protruding upward from the panel surface 3 a of the floor panel 3. The floor panel 3 and the back panel 4 of the present embodiment constitute a vehicle body of the present invention, and the recess 7 constitutes a housing portion of the present invention.

図2、図3において、フロアパネル3には図示しないボルトによって保護カバー18が固定されている。保護カバー18は、アッパケース16の上面を覆う上面カバー部19を有する。さらに、保護カバー18は、上面カバー部19に対してアッパケース16の後側面16Rよりも外方である後方に突出し、アッパケース16の側方を覆う側面カバー部20を有する。本実施例の後側面16Rは、本発明のバッテリケースの側面を構成する。   2 and 3, a protective cover 18 is fixed to the floor panel 3 with bolts (not shown). The protective cover 18 has an upper surface cover portion 19 that covers the upper surface of the upper case 16. Further, the protective cover 18 has a side cover portion 20 that protrudes rearward from the rear side surface 16 </ b> R of the upper case 16 with respect to the upper surface cover portion 19 and covers the side of the upper case 16. The rear side surface 16R of the present embodiment constitutes a side surface of the battery case of the present invention.

保護カバー18は、バッテリケース14の材料よりも強度が低い材料から構成されている。例えば、バッテリケース14が金属であれば、保護カバー18は、樹脂等から構成され、バッテリケース14が樹脂であれば、保護カバー18は、バッテリケース14よりも強度が低い樹脂から構成される。バッテリケース14の強度に対して保護カバー18の強度が低いものであれば、バッテリケース14および保護カバー18の材質は、何でもよい。   The protective cover 18 is made of a material having a lower strength than the material of the battery case 14. For example, if the battery case 14 is metal, the protective cover 18 is made of resin or the like, and if the battery case 14 is resin, the protective cover 18 is made of resin having a lower strength than the battery case 14. Any material can be used for the battery case 14 and the protective cover 18 as long as the strength of the protective cover 18 is lower than the strength of the battery case 14.

側面カバー部20にはツールボックス21が取付けられており、ツールボックス21には図示しない修理用の工具等が収容可能となっている。図5において、保護カバー18の下面には複数のリブ22が形成されている。リブ22は、保護カバー18に対して前後、左右、斜め方向に形成されており、保護カバー18は、リブ22によって補強されることにより、剛性が高められている。   A tool box 21 is attached to the side cover portion 20, and a repair tool or the like (not shown) can be accommodated in the tool box 21. In FIG. 5, a plurality of ribs 22 are formed on the lower surface of the protective cover 18. The ribs 22 are formed in the front-rear, left-right, and diagonal directions with respect to the protective cover 18, and the protective cover 18 is reinforced by the ribs 22, thereby increasing the rigidity.

図6において、上面カバー部19には脆弱部19Aが形成されており、脆弱部19Aは、上面カバー部19の一部を薄肉状に形成したものから構成されている(図7参照)。脆弱部19Aは、上面カバー部19と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向A(車両1の前後方向)と直交する方向(車幅方向)において、上面カバー部のカバー面19aに沿って形成されている(図5参照)。ここで、カバー面19aは、上面カバー部19の上面の全面である。   In FIG. 6, a fragile portion 19A is formed in the upper surface cover portion 19, and the fragile portion 19A is formed by forming a part of the upper surface cover portion 19 in a thin shape (see FIG. 7). The fragile portion 19A is formed along the cover surface 19a of the upper surface cover portion in a direction (vehicle width direction) orthogonal to the direction A (front-rear direction of the vehicle 1) in which the upper surface cover portion 19 and the side surface cover portion 20 are arranged. (See FIG. 5). Here, the cover surface 19 a is the entire upper surface of the upper surface cover portion 19.

本実施例の脆弱部19Aは、上面カバー部19と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向Aと直交する水平方向に沿って形成されている。
本実施の形態の保護カバー18は、上面カバー部19と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向から側面カバー部20に外力が加わった場合に、脆弱部19Aを起点にして上面カバー部19が折れ曲がる、または破断する。
The fragile portion 19A of this embodiment is formed along a horizontal direction orthogonal to the direction A in which the upper surface cover portion 19 and the side surface cover portion 20 are arranged.
In the protective cover 18 of the present embodiment, when an external force is applied to the side cover part 20 from the direction in which the top cover part 19 and the side cover part 20 are aligned, the top cover part 19 bends starting from the fragile part 19A. Or break.

すなわち、脆弱部19Aは、上面カバー部19が折れ曲がる、または破断する際の起点を構成している。本実施例においては、上面カバー部19が容易に折れ曲がる、または破断するように上面カバー部19の一部分の厚みを他の部分の厚みよりも小さくして脆弱部を構成している。脆弱部は、上面カバー部19が折れ曲がる、または、破断する領域と捉えてもよい。   That is, the fragile portion 19A constitutes a starting point when the upper surface cover portion 19 is bent or broken. In the present embodiment, the fragile portion is configured by making the thickness of a part of the upper surface cover part 19 smaller than the thickness of the other part so that the upper surface cover part 19 can be easily bent or broken. The fragile portion may be regarded as a region where the upper surface cover portion 19 is bent or broken.

側面カバー部20の上面には凹部20Aが形成されており、ツールボックス21は、凹部20Aに収容されるようにして側面カバー部20に取付けられている。保護カバー18の下面に形成されたリブ22のうち、側面カバー部20の下面に形成されたリブ22Aは、バッテリケース14のアッパケース16に対向する対向面を備えている。   A concave portion 20A is formed on the upper surface of the side cover portion 20, and the tool box 21 is attached to the side cover portion 20 so as to be accommodated in the concave portion 20A. Of the ribs 22 formed on the lower surface of the protective cover 18, the rib 22 </ b> A formed on the lower surface of the side cover portion 20 includes a facing surface that faces the upper case 16 of the battery case 14.

対向面には傾斜部22aが形成されており、傾斜部22aは、側面カバー部20から上面カバー部19に向かって傾斜している。傾斜部22aは、後側下方から前側上方に向かって傾斜しており、傾斜角θは、水平面に対して90度以上180度未満の範囲に設定されている。本実施例の傾斜部22aは、本発明の側面カバー部側傾斜部を構成する。   An inclined portion 22 a is formed on the facing surface, and the inclined portion 22 a is inclined from the side surface cover portion 20 toward the upper surface cover portion 19. The inclined portion 22a is inclined from the lower rear side toward the upper front side, and the inclination angle θ is set in a range of 90 degrees to less than 180 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane. The inclined portion 22a of this embodiment constitutes the side cover portion-side inclined portion of the present invention.

側面カバー部20に対向するアッパケース16の後側面16Rには傾斜部16aが形成されている。傾斜部16aは、傾斜部22aよりも緩やかな曲面で傾斜しており、アッパケース16の後側面16Rから上面16Uに向かって上方に傾斜している。本実施例の傾斜部16aは、後側下方から前側上方に向かって傾斜しており、本発明のバッテリケース側傾斜部を構成する。   An inclined portion 16 a is formed on the rear side surface 16 </ b> R of the upper case 16 that faces the side surface cover portion 20. The inclined portion 16a is inclined with a gentler curved surface than the inclined portion 22a, and is inclined upward from the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16 toward the upper surface 16U. The inclined portion 16a of the present embodiment is inclined from the lower rear side toward the upper front side, and constitutes the battery case side inclined portion of the present invention.

次に、作用を説明する。
図8(a)に示す状態において、後突等により車両1の後方から車体2に外力Fが加わった場合に、フロアパネル3が変形することにより、バックパネル4(図8はバックパネル4を省略)が前方に移動して保護カバー18の側面カバー部20に衝突する(図8(b)参照)。
Next, the operation will be described.
In the state shown in FIG. 8 (a), when an external force F is applied to the vehicle body 2 from the rear of the vehicle 1 due to a rear collision or the like, the floor panel 3 is deformed, so that the back panel 4 (FIG. (Omitted) moves forward and collides with the side cover portion 20 of the protective cover 18 (see FIG. 8B).

側面カバー部20に衝撃が加わると、車両1の前後方向においてアッパケース16に対向するリブ22Aがアッパケース16に接触する。このとき、リブ22Aの傾斜部22aに沿って側面カバー部20が上方Uに移動しながら、保護カバー18の中で最も強度が低い脆弱部19Aに荷重が集中する。   When an impact is applied to the side cover portion 20, the rib 22 </ b> A that faces the upper case 16 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1 contacts the upper case 16. At this time, the load concentrates on the fragile portion 19A having the lowest strength in the protective cover 18 while the side cover portion 20 moves upward U along the inclined portion 22a of the rib 22A.

これにより、上面カバー部19の一部と側面カバー部20が脆弱部19Aを起点にして折れ曲がり、あるいは、脆弱部19Aを起点にして上面カバー部19の一部と側面カバー部20が破断する(図8(c)参照)。このため、側面カバー部20からアッパケース16に加わる衝撃が緩和される。   Thereby, a part of the upper surface cover part 19 and the side surface cover part 20 are bent starting from the fragile part 19A, or a part of the upper surface cover part 19 and the side surface cover part 20 are broken starting from the fragile part 19A ( (Refer FIG.8 (c)). For this reason, the impact applied to the upper case 16 from the side cover part 20 is relieved.

このように本実施例のバッテリパック11の保護構造によれば、保護カバー18は、アッパケース16の上面を覆う上面カバー部19と、上面カバー部19に対してアッパケース16の後側面16Rよりも外方に突出し、アッパケース16の後側面16Rを覆う側面カバー部20とを有する。   Thus, according to the protection structure of the battery pack 11 of the present embodiment, the protective cover 18 includes the upper surface cover portion 19 that covers the upper surface of the upper case 16 and the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16 with respect to the upper surface cover portion 19. And a side cover portion 20 that protrudes outward and covers the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16.

上面カバー部19には脆弱部19Aが形成されており、脆弱部19Aは、上面カバー部19と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向Aと直交する方向において、上面カバー部19のカバー面19aに沿って形成されている。   A fragile portion 19A is formed in the upper surface cover portion 19, and the fragile portion 19A is formed on the cover surface 19a of the upper surface cover portion 19 in a direction orthogonal to the direction A in which the upper surface cover portion 19 and the side surface cover portion 20 are arranged. Are formed along.

これにより、車体2の後方から車体2に外力Fが加わった場合に、脆弱部19Aを起点にして上面カバー部19の一部と側面カバー部20を変形させて、側面カバー部20からアッパケース16に加わる衝撃を緩和することができる。   As a result, when an external force F is applied to the vehicle body 2 from the rear of the vehicle body 2, a part of the upper surface cover portion 19 and the side surface cover portion 20 are deformed starting from the fragile portion 19 </ b> A, and the upper case is removed from the side surface cover portion 20. The impact applied to 16 can be reduced.

このため、バッテリケース14に衝撃が加わることを抑制することができ、バッテリケース14がバッテリモジュール12やインバータ13に干渉することを防止することができる。この結果、バッテリパック11を容易に保護することができる。   For this reason, it can suppress that an impact is applied to the battery case 14, and the battery case 14 can be prevented from interfering with the battery module 12 and the inverter 13. As a result, the battery pack 11 can be easily protected.

また、本実施例のバッテリパック11の保護構造によれば、側面カバー部20は、アッパケース16の後側面16Rと対向する対向面を有し、対向面には傾斜部22aが形成されている。傾斜部22aは、側面カバー部20から上面カバー部19に向かって上方に傾斜している。   Further, according to the protection structure of the battery pack 11 of the present embodiment, the side cover portion 20 has a facing surface that faces the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16, and the inclined surface 22a is formed on the facing surface. . The inclined portion 22 a is inclined upward from the side cover portion 20 toward the upper surface cover portion 19.

これにより、車体2の後方から車体2に外力Fが加わった場合に、側面カバー部20のリブ22Aに形成された傾斜部22aをアッパケース16に接触させながら、側面カバー部20をアッパケース16の後側面16Rに沿って上方に移動させることができる。   Thus, when an external force F is applied to the vehicle body 2 from the rear of the vehicle body 2, the side cover portion 20 is moved to the upper case 16 while the inclined portion 22 a formed on the rib 22 </ b> A of the side cover portion 20 is in contact with the upper case 16. It can be moved upward along the rear side surface 16R.

このため、側面カバー部20からアッパケース16に加わる衝撃をより効果的に緩和することができる。この結果、バッテリケース14に衝撃が加わることをより効果的に抑制することができ、バッテリケース14がバッテリモジュール12やインバータ13に干渉することをより効果的に防止することができる。この結果、バッテリパック11をより効果的に保護することができる。   For this reason, the impact applied to the upper case 16 from the side cover part 20 can be more effectively mitigated. As a result, it can suppress more effectively that an impact is applied to the battery case 14, and more effectively prevent the battery case 14 from interfering with the battery module 12 and the inverter 13. As a result, the battery pack 11 can be protected more effectively.

また、本実施例のバッテリパック11の保護構造によれば、側面カバー部20に対向するアッパケース16の後側面16Rに傾斜部16aが形成されており、傾斜部16aは、アッパケース16の後側面16Rから上面16Uに向かって上方に傾斜している。   Further, according to the protection structure of the battery pack 11 of the present embodiment, the inclined portion 16a is formed on the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16 facing the side surface cover portion 20, and the inclined portion 16a is formed on the rear side of the upper case 16. It inclines upward from the side surface 16R toward the upper surface 16U.

これにより、車体2の後方から車体2に外力Fが加わった場合に、アッパケース16に接触する側面カバー部20を傾斜部16aに沿って上方に移動させることができる。このため、バッテリケース14に衝撃が加わることをより効果的に抑制することができ、バッテリケース14がバッテリモジュール12やインバータ13に干渉することをより効果的に防止することができる。この結果、バッテリパック11をより効果的に保護することができる。   Thereby, when the external force F is applied to the vehicle body 2 from the rear of the vehicle body 2, the side cover portion 20 that contacts the upper case 16 can be moved upward along the inclined portion 16a. For this reason, it can suppress more effectively that an impact is applied to the battery case 14, and can more effectively prevent the battery case 14 from interfering with the battery module 12 and the inverter 13. As a result, the battery pack 11 can be protected more effectively.

なお、本実施例のバッテリパック11の保護構造においては、図9に示すように、側面カバー部20とアッパケース16の後側面16Rとの間に壁部31を設けてもよい。図9において、壁部31は、フロアパネル3に固定されており、フロアパネル3から上方に突出している。   In the protection structure for the battery pack 11 of the present embodiment, a wall portion 31 may be provided between the side cover portion 20 and the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the wall portion 31 is fixed to the floor panel 3 and protrudes upward from the floor panel 3.

壁部31には傾斜部31aが形成されており、壁部31は、側面カバー部20に対向する対向面に形成されている。傾斜部31aは、側面カバー部20から上面カバー部19に向かって上方に傾斜している。本実施例の傾斜部31aは、本発明の壁部側傾斜部を構成する。   An inclined portion 31 a is formed on the wall portion 31, and the wall portion 31 is formed on a facing surface that faces the side cover portion 20. The inclined portion 31 a is inclined upward from the side cover portion 20 toward the upper surface cover portion 19. The inclined part 31a of the present embodiment constitutes the wall side inclined part of the present invention.

このようにすれば、車体2の後方から車体2に外力Fが加わった場合に、側面カバー部20を壁部31に衝突させ、傾斜部31aに沿って上方に指向させることができる。このため、側面カバー部20をアッパケース16の後側面16Rに沿って上方により確実に移動させることができる。   In this way, when the external force F is applied to the vehicle body 2 from the rear of the vehicle body 2, the side cover portion 20 can collide with the wall portion 31 and can be directed upward along the inclined portion 31a. For this reason, the side cover part 20 can be reliably moved upward along the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16.

したがって、バッテリケース14に衝撃が加わることをより効果的に抑制することができ、バッテリケース14がバッテリモジュール12やインバータ13に干渉することをより効果的に防止することができる。この結果、バッテリパック11をより効果的に保護することができる。   Therefore, it can suppress more effectively that an impact is applied to the battery case 14, and can more effectively prevent the battery case 14 from interfering with the battery module 12 and the inverter 13. As a result, the battery pack 11 can be protected more effectively.

なお、実施例のバッテリパック11の保護構造によれば、側面カバー部20のリブ22Aに傾斜部22aを形成しているが、傾斜部22aが形成されていなくてもよい。すなわち、アッパケース16の後側面16Rに対向する側面カバー部20の対向面を鉛直面にしてもよい。   In addition, according to the protection structure of the battery pack 11 of the embodiment, the inclined portion 22a is formed on the rib 22A of the side cover portion 20, but the inclined portion 22a may not be formed. That is, the facing surface of the side cover portion 20 that faces the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16 may be a vertical surface.

本実施例の保護カバー18は、アッパケース16の後側面16Rを覆う側面カバー部20を設けているが、これに限らず、アッパケース16の左側面および右側面の少なくとも一方を覆う側面カバー部を設けてもよい。
このようにすれば、車体2の左右方向のいずれか一方から車体2に外力が加わった場合にバッテリパック11を保護することができる。
The protective cover 18 of the present embodiment is provided with the side surface cover portion 20 that covers the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16, but is not limited thereto, and the side surface cover portion that covers at least one of the left side surface and the right side surface of the upper case 16 is provided. May be provided.
In this way, the battery pack 11 can be protected when an external force is applied to the vehicle body 2 from either the left or right direction of the vehicle body 2.

本実施例の保護カバー18は、上面カバー部19に薄肉状の脆弱部19Aが形成されているが、脆弱部は、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、上面カバー部19に、図10に示すように切り込み19Bを形成してもよい。   In the protective cover 18 of this embodiment, a thin fragile portion 19A is formed on the upper surface cover portion 19, but the fragile portion is not limited to this. For example, the notch 19B may be formed in the upper surface cover part 19 as shown in FIG.

また、切り込み19Bに限らず、上面カバー部19に蛇腹を形成したり、上面カバー部19を湾曲させてもよく、脆弱部の材質を保護カバー18の材質よりも強度が低い材質から構成してもよい。なお、脆弱部の構成は、これらに限定されるものでもない。   In addition to the notches 19B, the upper surface cover portion 19 may be formed with a bellows or the upper surface cover portion 19 may be curved, and the material of the fragile portion is made of a material having a lower strength than the material of the protective cover 18. Also good. In addition, the structure of a weak part is not limited to these.

本実施の形態において、脆弱部19Aが形成される方向として、上面カバー部19と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向と直交する方向において、上面カバー部19のカバー面19aに沿った方向としているが、この方向は、直交方向あるいは略直交する方向に限定されるものではない。   In the present embodiment, the direction in which the fragile portion 19A is formed is a direction along the cover surface 19a of the upper surface cover portion 19 in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the upper surface cover portion 19 and the side surface cover portion 20 are arranged. However, this direction is not limited to the orthogonal direction or the substantially orthogonal direction.

脆弱部としては、上面カバー部19と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向から側面カバー部20に外力が加わった場合に、上面カバー部19が上方に移動し、上面カバー部19が折れ曲がる、または破断するように、上面カバー部19に形成されていればよい。この場合、脆弱部としては、例えば、V字状や円弧状に形成されてもよい。
また、上面カバー部19を複数の分割された分割カバー部で構成し、剛性の弱い分割カバー部の継ぎ目を脆弱部としてもよい。
As the fragile part, when an external force is applied to the side cover part 20 from the direction in which the top cover part 19 and the side cover part 20 are aligned, the top cover part 19 moves upward, and the top cover part 19 is bent, or What is necessary is just to be formed in the upper surface cover part 19 so that it may fracture | rupture. In this case, as a weak part, you may form in V shape and circular arc shape, for example.
Moreover, the upper surface cover part 19 is comprised by the some divided | segmented divided | segmented cover part, and it is good also considering the joint of the divided | segmented cover part with weak rigidity as a weak part.

また、脆弱部は、上面カバー部19と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向と直交する方向において、上面カバー部19のカバー面19aの全域に設ける必要はなく、カバー面19aの一部のみに設けてもよい。   Further, the fragile portion does not need to be provided in the entire area of the cover surface 19a of the upper surface cover portion 19 in the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the upper surface cover portion 19 and the side surface cover portion 20 are arranged, and only on a part of the cover surface 19a. It may be provided.

後突等により車両1の後方から車体2に外力F(図15(a)参照)が加わった場合に、フロアパネル3が変形することにより、バックパネル4が前方に移動して(図15はバックパネル4を省略)、保護カバー50の側面カバー部20に衝突する(図15(b)参照)。
Next, the operation will be described.
When an external force F (see FIG. 15 (a)) is applied to the vehicle body 2 from the rear of the vehicle 1 due to a rear collision or the like, the back panel 4 moves forward due to the deformation of the floor panel 3 (see FIG. 15). The back panel 4 is omitted) and collides with the side cover portion 20 of the protective cover 50 (see FIG. 15B).

側面カバー部20に衝撃が加わると、車両1の前後方向においてアッパケース16に対向するリブ22Aがアッパケース16に接触する。このとき、リブ22Aの傾斜部22aに沿って側面カバー部20が上方Uに移動しながら、オーバーラップ部52の上方の脆弱部53に荷重が集中する。   When an impact is applied to the side cover portion 20, the rib 22 </ b> A that faces the upper case 16 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1 contacts the upper case 16. At this time, the load concentrates on the fragile portion 53 above the overlap portion 52 while the side cover portion 20 moves upward U along the inclined portion 22a of the rib 22A.

これにより、上面カバー部51の一部と側面カバー部20が脆弱部53を起点にして折れ曲がり、あるいは、脆弱部53を起点にして上面カバー部51の一部と側面カバー部20が破断する(図15(c)参照)。このため、側面カバー部20からアッパケース16に加わる衝撃が緩和される。   Thereby, a part of the upper surface cover part 51 and the side surface cover part 20 are bent starting from the fragile part 53, or a part of the upper surface cover part 51 and the side surface cover part 20 are broken starting from the fragile part 53 ( (See FIG. 15 (c)). For this reason, the impact applied to the upper case 16 from the side cover part 20 is relieved.

このように本実施例のバッテリパック11の保護構造によれば、保護カバー50は、アッパケース16の上面を覆う上面カバー部51と、上面カバー部51に対してアッパケース16の後側面16Rよりも外方に突出し、アッパケース16の後側面16Rを覆う側面カバー部20とを有する。   Thus, according to the protection structure of the battery pack 11 of the present embodiment, the protective cover 50 includes the upper surface cover portion 51 that covers the upper surface of the upper case 16 and the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16 with respect to the upper surface cover portion 51. And a side cover portion 20 that protrudes outward and covers the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16.

上面カバー部51は、上壁51Aと、上面カバー部51と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向に対して上壁51Aの上面に沿って直交する方向Bの上壁51Aの両端から下方に突出し、直交方向Bにおいて対向する側壁51B、51Cとを備えている。   The upper surface cover portion 51 protrudes downward from both ends of the upper wall 51A in the direction B orthogonal to the upper wall 51A and the direction in which the upper surface cover portion 51 and the side surface cover portion 20 are aligned along the upper surface of the upper wall 51A. The side walls 51B and 51C are opposed to each other in the orthogonal direction B.

側壁51Bには切り欠き51bが形成されており、側壁51Cには直交方向Bにおいて切り欠き51bの一部と重なってオーバーラップ部52を構成する切り欠き51cが形成されている。
これに加えて、切り欠き51bと切り欠き51cとが重なるオーバーラップ部52を結んだ上壁51Aの部位に脆弱部53が形成されている。
A cutout 51b is formed in the side wall 51B, and a cutout 51c that forms an overlap portion 52 is formed in the side wall 51C so as to overlap with a part of the cutout 51b in the orthogonal direction B.
In addition to this, a fragile portion 53 is formed at a portion of the upper wall 51A connecting the overlap portion 52 where the notch 51b and the notch 51c overlap.

これにより、車体2の後方から車体2に外力Fが加わった場合に、脆弱部53を起点にして上面カバー部51の一部と側面カバー部20とを変形させて、側面カバー部20からアッパケース16に加わる衝撃を緩和することができる。   As a result, when an external force F is applied to the vehicle body 2 from the rear of the vehicle body 2, a part of the upper surface cover portion 51 and the side surface cover portion 20 are deformed starting from the fragile portion 53, so The impact applied to the case 16 can be reduced.

なお、本実施例の保護カバー50は、切り欠き51b、51cの一部を直交方向Bで重ねて(オーバーラップさせて)いるが、切り欠き51b、51cを同一形状に形成し、対向配置してもよい。   In the protective cover 50 of this embodiment, the cutouts 51b and 51c are partially overlapped (overlapped) in the orthogonal direction B. However, the cutouts 51b and 51c are formed in the same shape and arranged to face each other. May be.

また、本実施例のバッテリパック11の保護構造においては、図9と同様に側面カバー部20とアッパケース16の後側面16Rとの間に壁部31を設けてもよいことは、勿論である。   Further, in the protection structure for the battery pack 11 of the present embodiment, it is needless to say that a wall portion 31 may be provided between the side cover portion 20 and the rear side surface 16R of the upper case 16 as in FIG. .

また、本実施例の保護カバー50において、上面カバー部51に、アッパケース16の左側面および右側面の少なくとも一方を覆う側面カバー部を設けてもよい。
このようにすれば、車体2の左右方向のいずれか一方から車体2に外力が加わった場合にバッテリパック11を保護することができる。
Further, in the protective cover 50 of this embodiment, the upper surface cover portion 51 may be provided with a side surface cover portion that covers at least one of the left side surface and the right side surface of the upper case 16.
In this way, the battery pack 11 can be protected when an external force is applied to the vehicle body 2 from either the left or right direction of the vehicle body 2.

また、本実施の形態では、側壁51B、51Cのそれぞれに切り欠き51b、51cを形成しているが、上面カバー部51の形状や厚みを適宜調整することで、切り欠き51b、51cのうちいずれか一方のみを設けるだけで、上面カバー部51と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向と直交する方向に脆弱部を形成してもよい。   Further, in the present embodiment, the cutouts 51b and 51c are formed in the side walls 51B and 51C, respectively, but any one of the cutouts 51b and 51c can be obtained by appropriately adjusting the shape and thickness of the upper surface cover portion 51. The weak portion may be formed in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the upper surface cover portion 51 and the side surface cover portion 20 are arranged by providing only one of them.

なお、上記各実施の形態において、上面カバー部19または上面カバー部51と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向は、車両1の前後方向であるため、直交方向は車両左右方向となる。ところが、上面カバー部19または上面カバー部51と側面カバー部20とが並んだ方向が車両1の左右方向(車幅方向)となるよう保護カバー18または保護カバー50が設置される場合には、直交方向は、車両1の前後方向となることは、言うまでもない。   In each of the above embodiments, the direction in which the top cover 19 or the top cover 51 and the side cover 20 are arranged is the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1, so the orthogonal direction is the left-right direction of the vehicle. However, when the protective cover 18 or the protective cover 50 is installed so that the direction in which the upper surface cover portion 19 or the upper surface cover portion 51 and the side surface cover portion 20 are aligned is the left-right direction (vehicle width direction) of the vehicle 1, Needless to say, the orthogonal direction is the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1.
