Then, when the fan 41 shown in FIG. 4 is driven, the air in the riding space 9A passes through the holes 53 and the filter 52.

FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along line IX-IX in FIG. The base portion 22 includes a front wall portion 28 and a side wall portion 29.

The base portion 22 includes a guide wall 56 extending from the opening edge portion of the ventilation port 55 toward the inside of the device housing space 37. The guide wall 56 is connected to the front wall portion 28. An insertion hole (second insertion hole) 57 is formed in the connecting portion between the guide wall 56 and the front wall portion 28.

A step wall 60 and a support wall 61 are formed on the side wall portion 29, the step wall 60 slightly extends toward the device accommodating space 37 side, and the support wall 61 is formed on the step wall 60. The support wall 61 is connected and extends from the step wall 60 toward the front wall portion 28. An insertion hole (first insertion hole) 58 is formed in the support wall 61, and the insertion hole 58 is located near the step wall 60.

The frame 51 includes an insertion piece (insertion end) 80 formed on the vertical frame 71, a base 81 and an insertion shaft 82 formed on the vertical frame 70.

The insertion piece 80 is formed so as to project from the side surface portion of the vertical frame 71. For example, a plurality of insertion pieces 80 may be formed at intervals in the vertical direction. In this case, a plurality of insertion holes 57 are also formed vertically.

The insert piece 80 is inserted into an insert hole 57 formed in a connecting portion between the front wall portion 28 and the guide wall 56.

The base 81 is formed on the vertical frame 70 on the inner main surface 77 side. The base 81 is formed so as to project from the surface of the vertical frame 70. The insertion shaft 82 is formed so as to project from the base 81 toward the device housing space 37 side. The insertion shaft 82 is inserted into the insertion hole 58 formed in the support wall 61. Thus, the insertion shaft 82 is provided at a position closer to the rear door 16 than the insertion piece 80.

When removing the ventilation port cover 50 attached to the ventilation port 55 as described above, the operator first opens the rear door 16. Then, a finger is inserted into the hole 78 shown in FIG. 6 and the vertical frame 70 is pulled toward the riding space 9A. As a result, in FIG. 9, the vent hole cover 50 rotates about the insertion piece 80 side. Then, the insertion shaft 82 is pulled out from the insertion hole 58. After the insertion shaft 82 is pulled out from the insertion hole 58, the ventilation port cover 50 can be removed from the base 22 by moving the ventilation port cover 50 so that the insertion piece 80 is pulled out from the insertion hole 57.

Here, it is assumed that the ventilation port cover 50 is removed while the rear door 16 is closed. At this time, in FIG. 9, the vertical frame 70 of the ventilation port cover 50 contacts the door trim 17 of the rear door 16 in the process of rotating the ventilation port cover 50 around the insertion piece 80 side. At the timing when the vertical frame 70 contacts the door trim 17, the insertion shaft 82 is not pulled out from the insertion hole 58.

The height H1 of the insertion shaft 82 is set until the vertical frame 70 and the rear door 16 interfere with each other when the ventilation port cover 50 is rotated with the insertion piece 80 side as the rotation center in the state where the rear door 16 is closed. The insertion shaft 82 is longer than the length L taken out from the insertion hole 58.

In other words, when the ventilation port cover 50 is attached to the ventilation port 55, the length of the insertion shaft 82 inserted into the insertion hole 58 is determined by rotating the ventilation port cover 50 with the insertion piece 80 side as the rotation center. When the vertical shaft 70 and the rear door 16 interfere with each other, the insertion shaft 82 is longer than the length that is pulled out from the insertion hole 58.

Therefore, when the rear door 16 is closed, the vent hole cover 50 is prevented from being removed from the vent hole cover 50.

In the vehicle 1 configured as described above, when the fan 41 is driven to cool the battery 13 shown in FIG. 4, the air in the riding space 9A is supplied to the battery 13 through the ventilation port cover 50.

Then, as the air in the boarding space 9A flows for a long period of time into the ventilation port cover 50, foreign matters such as dust are accumulated in the filter 52 of the ventilation port cover 50 shown in FIG. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically remove the ventilation port cover 50 and wash or replace the filter 52.

In FIG. 10, when removing the ventilation port cover 50, the operator opens the rear door 16. Since the ventilation port cover 50 is provided at a position adjacent to the rear door 16, it is easier to remove the ventilation port cover 50 with the rear door 16 open.

Then, when the rear door 16 is opened by the operator, the open/close sensor 46 shown in FIG. 2 transmits a signal to the ECU 3 informing that the rear door 16 is open when the vehicle 1 is in the IG-ON state.

When the ECU 3 determines that the rear door 16 is open based on the signal from the opening/closing sensor 46, the ECU 3 stops driving the fan 41. The fan 41 is stopped when the vehicle 1 is in the IG-OFF state.

Then, after washing or replacing the filter 52, the ventilation port cover 50 is attached to the base portion 22. Also in the mounting work for mounting the ventilation port cover 50 on the ventilation port 55 again, the worker opens the rear door 16 and performs the mounting work.

In this way, the operator can open the rear door 16 and perform the work of attaching or removing the ventilation port cover 50, so that the driving of the fan 41 can be stopped even in the IG-ON state. Thereby, even if a tool or the like enters inside through the ventilation port 55 during each work, it is possible to prevent the fan 41 from being damaged.

On the other hand, the rear door 16 is closed when the vehicle 1 is traveling. When the rear door 16 is closed in the IG-ON state, the ECU 3 drives the fan 41. If the ventilation port cover 50 is removed while the fan 41 is driven, foreign matter or the like may enter inside through the ventilation port 55 and damage the fan 41 or the like.

On the other hand, in the ventilation port cover 50 according to the present embodiment, removal of the ventilation port cover 50 from the ventilation port 55 is suppressed when the rear door 16 is closed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the vertical frame 70 of the ventilation port cover 50 interferes with the door trim 17 of the rear door 16 before the insertion shaft 82 is pulled out from the insertion hole 58.

When the vehicle 1 is traveling, the rear door 16 is naturally closed. That is, in the vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the ventilation port cover 50 from being removed from the ventilation port 55 while the vehicle 1 is traveling.

On the other hand, when performing maintenance on the ventilation port cover 50, the ventilation port cover 50 can be easily removed with the driving of the fan 41 stopped.

The embodiments disclosed this time are to be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, and is intended to include meanings equivalent to the claims and all modifications within the scope.
