Description

本発明は、走行用の電動モータの動力源となる複数の充電式のバッテリーセルを備えた車両のアース装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a vehicle grounding device including a plurality of rechargeable battery cells that serve as a power source for an electric motor for traveling.

走行用の駆動モータを備えた電気自動車、あるいは走行用の駆動モータと内燃機関の双方を備えた所謂ハイブリッド自動車には、駆動モータの動力源となる充電可能な電気パックが搭載されている。電池パックは、複数のバッテリーセルをケーシング内に配列して、内燃機関に用いるバッテリーよりも高い電圧を出力して駆動モータを駆動するように構成されている。
このような高電圧の電池パックは高電圧機器となり、絶縁故障した際に高電圧を帯びる可能性があることから、工具なしに触れることができる部位を露出導電部と定義されている。そしてこの露出導電部は、例えば電気的シャシ(車体)とアースすることが法規により定められている。一般に露出導電部のアース手段にはケーブル類を用いることが多く、ケーブルや電池パックを飛び石等から保護する目的でカバー部材によって覆われている事も多い。また、特許文献1では、電気自動車において、バッテリーから延びるハーネスを車体下面に配置すると、走行中にカプラーに飛び石が当たる可能性があることから、バッテリボックス側面と車体左右方向に延びるフレーム部材とによって区画された空間にカプラーを配置して保護する構成が開示されている。
An electric vehicle equipped with a driving motor for traveling, or a so-called hybrid vehicle equipped with both a traveling driving motor and an internal combustion engine is equipped with a rechargeable electric pack serving as a power source for the driving motor. The battery pack is configured to arrange a plurality of battery cells in a casing and output a voltage higher than that of a battery used in an internal combustion engine to drive a drive motor.
Since such a high voltage battery pack becomes a high voltage device and may be charged with a high voltage when an insulation failure occurs, a portion that can be touched without a tool is defined as an exposed conductive portion. It is stipulated by law that the exposed conductive portion is grounded with, for example, an electric chassis (vehicle body). In general, cables are often used as the grounding means of the exposed conductive portion, and are often covered with a cover member for the purpose of protecting the cable and battery pack from stepping stones. Further, in Patent Document 1, in an electric vehicle, if a harness extending from a battery is arranged on the lower surface of the vehicle body, there is a possibility that a stepping stone hits the coupler during traveling. A configuration is disclosed in which a coupler is disposed and protected in a partitioned space.

特許第3819605号公報Japanese Patent No. 3819605

アースのためのケーブル類をカバー部材で覆うことで保護することは可能であるが、車体の下部構造によってはカバー部材を設置することが難しく、また、仮にカバー部材を設置した場合、メンテナンス時の着脱作業が増えるとともに、カバー部材に例えば海水や泥などが溜まってしまうと露出導電部の腐食につながることから、カバー部材に排出構造が求められてしまう。特許文献1の構成では、カバー部材は不要となるが、カプラーを用いているため、カプラーの外れや、万が一飛び石が当たったときに、樹脂製のカプラーの場合だと損傷や断線が懸念される。
本発明は、メンテナンス時の作業性を考慮しつつも、導電性部材の腐食や飛び石による損傷や断線を防止できる車両のアース装置を提供することを、その目的とする。
Although it is possible to protect the grounding cables by covering them with a cover member, it is difficult to install the cover member depending on the lower structure of the vehicle body, and if a cover member is installed, As the number of attaching / detaching operations increases and, for example, seawater or mud accumulates in the cover member, it leads to corrosion of the exposed conductive portion, so that a discharge structure is required for the cover member. In the configuration of Patent Document 1, a cover member is not necessary, but since a coupler is used, there is a concern about damage or disconnection in the case of a resin coupler when the coupler is detached or when a stepping stone hits it. .
An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle grounding device capable of preventing the corrosion of a conductive member, damage due to a stepping stone, and disconnection while considering workability during maintenance.

本発明は、車両に搭載された電池パックと、電池パックを車両の前後方向に延びる一対のサイドメンバ間に支持する支持部材と、支持部材とサイドメンバとを連結する導電性部材とを備え、導電性部材は、支持部材の車両の後方に配置されて車両の前方視において支持部材に重なるように配置されることを特徴としている。
本発明に係る車両のアース装置において、導電性部材と接続される支持部材又はサイドメンバのうち一方は締結部材により締結され、他方は溶接により接合されることを特徴としている。
本発明に係る車両のアース装置において、導電性部材は、車両の上面視においてサイドメンバとの接続部と、支持部材との接続部とが車両幅方向にオフセットされていることを特徴としている。
本発明に係る車両のアース装置において、導電性部材は、サイドメンバの接続部と支持部材の接続部との間に、車両の衝突荷重を吸収する脆弱部が形成されていることを特徴としている。
本発明に係る車両のアース装置において、導電性部材は、サイドメンバの接続部と支持部材の接続部との間を車両上下方向に連接する縦壁が形成されていて、当該縦壁に車両前後方向に貫通する開口が形成されていることを特徴としている。
本発明に係る車両のアース装置において、導電性部材は、支持部材との接続部を複数箇所有することを特徴としている。
The present invention includes a battery pack mounted on a vehicle, a support member that supports the battery pack between a pair of side members extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a conductive member that connects the support member and the side member, The conductive member is disposed behind the vehicle of the support member and is disposed so as to overlap the support member in a front view of the vehicle.
In the vehicle ground device according to the present invention, one of the support member and the side member connected to the conductive member is fastened by a fastening member, and the other is joined by welding.
In the vehicle ground device according to the present invention, the conductive member is characterized in that the connection portion with the side member and the connection portion with the support member are offset in the vehicle width direction in a top view of the vehicle.
In the vehicle grounding device according to the present invention, the conductive member is characterized in that a fragile portion that absorbs a collision load of the vehicle is formed between the connection portion of the side member and the connection portion of the support member. .
In the vehicle ground device according to the present invention, the conductive member is formed with a vertical wall connecting the side member connecting portion and the supporting member connecting portion in the vehicle vertical direction, and the vertical wall is connected to the front and rear of the vehicle. An opening penetrating in the direction is formed.
In the vehicle ground device according to the present invention, the conductive member has a plurality of connection portions with the support member.

本発明によれば、支持部材とサイドメンバとを連結する導電性部材が、支持部材の車両後方に配置されて車両の前方視において支持部材に重なるように配置されるため、導電性部材となる板状部材が、支持部材の陰に配置されることとなり、従来のようにカバー部材が無くても走行時の飛び石による損傷を回避することができる。   According to the present invention, the conductive member that connects the support member and the side member is disposed on the rear side of the support member so as to overlap the support member when viewed from the front of the vehicle, and thus becomes a conductive member. The plate-like member is disposed behind the support member, and damage due to stepping stones during traveling can be avoided even without a cover member as in the prior art.

以下、図面を用いて本発明に係る車両のアース装置について説明する。
図1はアース装置が適用された車両1の概略図である。この車両1は図示しない走行用の駆動モータを備えた車両である。車両1の中央部には、駆動モータの動力源となる充電可能な電気パック2が搭載されている。電池パック2は、複数のバッテリーセル30をケーシング3内に配置されていて、高電圧を出力して駆動モータを駆動するように構成されている。
Hereinafter, a vehicle ground device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a vehicle 1 to which a grounding device is applied. This vehicle 1 is a vehicle provided with a driving motor for travel (not shown). A rechargeable electric pack 2 serving as a power source for the drive motor is mounted at the center of the vehicle 1. The battery pack 2 has a plurality of battery cells 30 arranged in the casing 3 and is configured to output a high voltage to drive a drive motor.

ケーシング3は樹脂製であって、その一部の開口部から外部に導電部4が露呈している。ケーシング3には、ケーシング3より車両幅方向Wに突出した支持部材となる複数の取付けメンバ5〜8が設けられている。取付けメンバ5〜8は、車両幅方向Wに延びた金属製の導電性部材で閉断面構造に構成されたものである。取付けメンバ5〜8は、車両前後方向Aに間隔を開けて配置され、ケーシング3の例えば底部3aに固定されている。これら取付けメンバ5〜8のうち、車両前方側に位置する取付けメンバ5には、導電部4が直接接触している。   The casing 3 is made of resin, and the conductive portion 4 is exposed to the outside through a part of the opening. The casing 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting members 5 to 8 serving as support members that protrude in the vehicle width direction W from the casing 3. The mounting members 5 to 8 are made of a metal conductive member extending in the vehicle width direction W and have a closed cross-sectional structure. The attachment members 5 to 8 are arranged at intervals in the vehicle longitudinal direction A, and are fixed to, for example, the bottom 3 a of the casing 3. Of these mounting members 5 to 8, the conductive portion 4 is in direct contact with the mounting member 5 located on the vehicle front side.

取付けメンバ5〜8の両端5a、5b、6a、6b、7a、7b、8a、8bは、図2にも示すように、車両前後方向Aに延在し、車両幅方向Wに位置する金属製の導電性部材で形成されたサイドメンバ9,10に固定されている。電池パック2は、取付けメンバ5〜8をサイドメンバ9,10に固定することで、車両1の図示しないフロアよりも下方に配置されている。   Both ends 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b of the mounting members 5-8 extend in the vehicle longitudinal direction A and are made of metal located in the vehicle width direction W as shown in FIG. Are fixed to side members 9 and 10 formed of a conductive member. The battery pack 2 is disposed below a floor (not shown) of the vehicle 1 by fixing the mounting members 5 to 8 to the side members 9 and 10.

本形態では、取付けメンバ5〜8を、電池パック2をサイドメンバ9,10に取付ける専用のものとしたが、例えば、サイドメンバ9,10間に掛け渡されてサイドメンバと相まってシャーシを構成するクロスメンバを電池パック2の下方に配置し、同クロスメンバを介して電池パック2をサイドフレーム9,10に固定することも可能である。ただクロスメンバは、シャーシの剛性確保が優先されることから、配置場所には制約が多い部材であるので、本形態のように、個別に電池パック2用の取付けメンバ5〜8を用いてサイドメンバ9,10に固定する形態の方が、電池パック2の重量を考慮して配置できるので好ましい。   In this embodiment, the attachment members 5 to 8 are dedicated for attaching the battery pack 2 to the side members 9 and 10. For example, the attachment members 5 to 8 are spanned between the side members 9 and 10 to form a chassis together with the side members. It is also possible to dispose the cross member below the battery pack 2 and fix the battery pack 2 to the side frames 9 and 10 via the cross member. However, the cross member is a member with many restrictions on the arrangement location because priority is given to securing the rigidity of the chassis. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the side members are individually used with the mounting members 5 to 8 for the battery pack 2. The configuration in which the members 9 and 10 are fixed is preferable because the weight of the battery pack 2 can be taken into consideration.

取付けメンバ5〜8はサイドメンバ9,10に横架されてそれぞれの両端5a、5b、6a、6b、7a、7b、8a、8bが固定されることから、シャーシ側からみるとクロスメンバとしての機能も有するため、シャーシの剛性を高めることができる。本形態では取付けメンバ5〜8を4本用いて電池パック2をサイドメンバ9、10に固定して取付けているが、取付けメンバの数は、本実施形態の数に限定されるものでは無く、電池パック2の平面的な大きさ、重量を考慮して適宜増減するのが好ましい。   Since the mounting members 5 to 8 are horizontally mounted on the side members 9 and 10 and both ends 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, and 8b are fixed, as viewed from the chassis side, they are used as cross members. Since it also has a function, the rigidity of the chassis can be increased. In this embodiment, the battery pack 2 is fixedly attached to the side members 9 and 10 using four attachment members 5 to 8, but the number of attachment members is not limited to the number of this embodiment. It is preferable to increase or decrease appropriately considering the planar size and weight of the battery pack 2.

本形態において、取付けメンバ5〜8を車両前方側から順番に第1メンバ〜第4メンバとすると、第1メンバ(取付けメンバ5)とサイドメンバ9、サイドメンバ10との間に、金属製の板状部材11、12を配置している。板状部材11、12は、図2に示すように、導電性部材で形成されていて露出導電部を構成している。板状部材11、12は、図3,図4に示すように、板金加工によりクランク状に屈曲形成されていて、平坦で略水平な一端11a、12aと他端11b、12bの間に、車両前後方向Aに面し、下方に位置する一端11a、11bから上方に位置する他端11b、12bに向かって上り傾斜した縦壁11c、12cを有している。すなわち、板状部材11、12には、サイドメンバ9,10の接続部と取付けメンバ5の接続部との間を車両上下方向に連接する縦壁11c、12cが形成されている。これら板状部材11、12は、一端11a、12aが取付けメンバ5の両端にスポット溶接によって接合されて固定され、他端11b、12bが締結部材となるボルト13によってそれぞれサイドメンバ9,10に締結されて固定されている。なお、図3は、車両左側に配置された片側の板状部材11のみを示す。   In this embodiment, when the mounting members 5 to 8 are first member to fourth member in order from the vehicle front side, a metal member is interposed between the first member (mounting member 5), the side member 9, and the side member 10. Plate members 11 and 12 are arranged. As shown in FIG. 2, the plate-like members 11 and 12 are formed of a conductive member and constitute an exposed conductive portion. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the plate-like members 11 and 12 are bent and formed in a crank shape by sheet metal processing, and between the flat and substantially horizontal one ends 11 a and 12 a and the other ends 11 b and 12 b Facing in the front-rear direction A, it has vertical walls 11c, 12c inclined upward from one end 11a, 11b located below to the other end 11b, 12b located above. That is, the plate-like members 11 and 12 are formed with vertical walls 11c and 12c that connect the connecting portions of the side members 9 and 10 and the connecting portion of the mounting member 5 in the vehicle vertical direction. These plate-like members 11 and 12 have one ends 11a and 12a fixed to each end of the mounting member 5 by spot welding, and the other ends 11b and 12b are fastened to the side members 9 and 10 by bolts 13 serving as fastening members, respectively. Has been fixed. FIG. 3 shows only one plate-like member 11 arranged on the left side of the vehicle.

つまり、電池パック2の外部に露呈した導電部4は、取付けメンバ5、板状部材11,12を介してサイドメンバ9,10に接続されていて、アース経路が確保されている。ここでは、取付けメンバ5とサイドメンバ9、取付けメンバ5とサイドメンバ10の間に板状部材11、12をそれぞれ介在させて連結してアース経路を形成しているが、取付けメンバ5とサイドメンバ9あるいは、取付けメンバ5とサイドメンバ10の少なくとも一方に板状部材11または板状部材12を連結してアース経路を形成しても良い。   In other words, the conductive portion 4 exposed to the outside of the battery pack 2 is connected to the side members 9 and 10 via the mounting member 5 and the plate-like members 11 and 12, and a ground path is secured. Here, plate members 11 and 12 are interposed and connected between the mounting member 5 and the side member 9 and between the mounting member 5 and the side member 10 to form a ground path. 9 or the plate member 11 or the plate member 12 may be connected to at least one of the attachment member 5 and the side member 10 to form a ground path.

板状部材11、12は、取付けメンバ5の接続部となる一端11a、12aとサイドメンバ9、10との接続部となる他端11b、12bを除く部分において、車両前後方向から衝突荷重が加えられたときに車両前後方向Aに変形するように、部分的に脆弱部となる折れ部11d、12dと折れ部11e、12eが形成されている。すなわち、板状部材11、12、サイドメンバ9,10の接続部と取付けメンバ5の接続部との間に、車両1の衝突荷重を吸収する脆弱部が形成されている。   The plate-like members 11 and 12 are subjected to a collision load from the vehicle front-rear direction at the portions excluding the other ends 11b and 12b that are the connecting portions of the mounting members 5 and the other ends 11b and 12b that are the connecting portions of the side members 9 and 10. Folded portions 11d and 12d and folded portions 11e and 12e that are partially fragile portions are formed so as to be deformed in the vehicle longitudinal direction A when being bent. That is, a fragile portion that absorbs the collision load of the vehicle 1 is formed between the connecting portions of the plate-like members 11 and 12 and the side members 9 and 10 and the connecting portion of the mounting member 5.

板状部材11、12は、取付けメンバ5よりも車両後方側に配置されている。具体的には、取付けメンバ5との接続部となる板状部材11、12の一端11a、12bよりも、車両後方側に位置し、サイドメンバ9,10との接続部をなす板状部材11、12の他端11b、12b及び縦壁11c、12cが、取付けメンバ5よりも車両後方側に配置されている。すなわち、板状部材11、12は、取付けメンバ5の車両後方に配置され、かつ車両1の前方視において取付けメンバ5に重なるように配置されている。   The plate-like members 11 and 12 are arranged on the vehicle rear side with respect to the mounting member 5. Specifically, the plate-like member 11 that is located on the vehicle rear side with respect to the ends 11 a and 12 b of the plate-like members 11 and 12 that become the connection portion with the mounting member 5 and that forms the connection portion with the side members 9 and 10. , 12 and the vertical walls 11c, 12c are arranged on the vehicle rear side with respect to the mounting member 5. In other words, the plate-like members 11 and 12 are arranged on the rear side of the mounting member 5 so as to overlap the mounting member 5 when the vehicle 1 is viewed from the front.

また、本形態において、板状部材11、12は、サイドメンバ9,10との接続部となる他端11b、12bに対して、取付けメンバ5との接続部となる一端11a、12aが、図5に示すように、車両1の上面視において車両幅方向Wにオフセットされて配置されている。具体的には、他端11b、12bに対して一端11a、12aが車両1の内側に位置するように、板状部材11、12を斜めに配置している。無論、板状部材11、12の配置としては、他端11b、12bに対して一端11a、12aが車両1の外側に位置するようにしてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the plate-like members 11 and 12 have one ends 11a and 12a serving as connecting portions with the mounting member 5 as opposed to the other ends 11b and 12b serving as connecting portions with the side members 9 and 10, respectively. As shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle 1 is arranged offset in the vehicle width direction W when viewed from above. Specifically, the plate-like members 11 and 12 are arranged obliquely so that the one ends 11a and 12a are located inside the vehicle 1 with respect to the other ends 11b and 12b. Of course, as the arrangement of the plate-like members 11 and 12, the one ends 11a and 12a may be located outside the vehicle 1 with respect to the other ends 11b and 12b.

すなわち、本形態にかかるアース装置は、車両に搭載された電池パック2と、電池パックを車両の前後方向に延びる一対のサイドメンバ9,10間に支持する取付けメンバ5と、取付けメンバ5とサイドメンバ9,10とを連結する板状部材11、12とを備え、板状部材11、12は、取付けメンバ5の車両の後方に配置されて車両の前方視において取付けメンバ5に重なるように配置されている。   That is, the grounding device according to this embodiment includes a battery pack 2 mounted on a vehicle, a mounting member 5 that supports the battery pack between a pair of side members 9 and 10 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, a mounting member 5 and a side Plate members 11 and 12 for connecting the members 9 and 10 are provided, and the plate members 11 and 12 are arranged at the rear of the mounting member 5 so as to overlap the mounting member 5 in a front view of the vehicle. Has been.

このように、電池パック2のケーシング3よりも車両幅方向Wに突出し、その一部が電池パックBの導電部4と接触するとともに、車両前後方向Aに延在して車両幅方向にそれぞれ位置する導電性のサイドメンバ9,10に固定される、導電性の取付けメンバ5よりも車両後方側に、取付けメンバ5とサイドメンバ9,10とに接合される導電性の板状部材11、12を、車両1の前方視において取付けメンバ5に重なるように配置したので、露出導電部となる板状部材11,12が取付けメンバ5の陰に配置されることとなり、従来のようにカバー部材が無くても走行時の飛び石による損傷を回避することができるとともに海水や泥等も堆積し難くなる。また、従来アースのためのケーブル類で構成されていた露出導電部を金属製の板状部材11,12で構成したので、飛び石が当たった場合でも断線のおそれがなくなる。このため、メンテナンス時の作業性を考慮しつつも、良好な絶縁性を確保することができ、乗員や作業者に対して安全な状態を維持することができる。   In this manner, the battery pack 2 protrudes in the vehicle width direction W from the casing 3 of the battery pack 2, and a part thereof contacts the conductive portion 4 of the battery pack B, and extends in the vehicle front-rear direction A and is positioned in the vehicle width direction. Conductive plate members 11, 12 that are fixed to the conductive side members 9, 10 and that are joined to the mounting member 5 and the side members 9, 10 on the vehicle rear side of the conductive mounting member 5. Is disposed so as to overlap the mounting member 5 when viewed from the front of the vehicle 1, the plate-like members 11 and 12 serving as the exposed conductive portions are disposed behind the mounting member 5. Even without it, it is possible to avoid damage caused by stepping stones during traveling, and it is difficult to deposit seawater and mud. In addition, since the exposed conductive portion, which has conventionally been constituted by cables for grounding, is constituted by the metal plate-like members 11 and 12, there is no possibility of disconnection even when a stepping stone hits. For this reason, while considering the workability at the time of maintenance, favorable insulation can be ensured, and a safe state for the occupants and workers can be maintained.

板状部材11,12に、車両前後方向Aから衝突荷重が加えられたときに同方向に変形するように、部分的に脆弱部となる折れ部11d、11eと折れ部12d、12eをそれぞれ形成したので、電池パック2とシャーシとなるサイドメンバ9,10との間に相対変位が生じた場合でも、折れ部11d、11eと折れ部12d、12eの変形により吸収することができるため、衝突後においても良好な絶縁性を維持することができる。   Folded portions 11d and 11e and folded portions 12d and 12e that are partially fragile portions are formed on the plate-like members 11 and 12 so as to be deformed in the same direction when a collision load is applied from the vehicle longitudinal direction A. Therefore, even when a relative displacement occurs between the battery pack 2 and the side members 9 and 10 serving as the chassis, it can be absorbed by deformation of the folded portions 11d and 11e and the folded portions 12d and 12e. In this case, good insulation can be maintained.

本形態では、1つの取付けメンバ5に対して複数の板状部材11,12を接続し、各板状部材11,12を車両幅方向に位置するサイドメンバ9,10と接続したので、例えば車両1の左方から衝突荷重を受けて、一方の板状部材11が破損して片側のアース経路が絶たれた場合でも、衝突方向と反対側に位置する板状部材12により、導電部4、取付けメンバ5からサイドメンバ10に掛けてのアース経路を維持することができるので、事故車両等からの救出者に対しても電気的な安全を確保することができる。   In this embodiment, a plurality of plate-like members 11, 12 are connected to one mounting member 5, and each plate-like member 11, 12 is connected to the side members 9, 10 positioned in the vehicle width direction. 1, even when one plate-like member 11 is damaged and the ground path on one side is cut off, the plate-like member 12 located on the opposite side of the collision direction causes the conductive portion 4, Since the ground path from the mounting member 5 to the side member 10 can be maintained, electrical safety can be ensured even for rescuers from accident vehicles and the like.

板状部材11,12のサイドメンバ9,10との接続部(他端11b、12b)に対して、板状部材11,12の取付けメンバ5との接続部(一端11a、12a)を車両1の上面視において車両幅方向Wにオフセットして配置したので、車両前後方向Aから衝突荷重が加えられたときに、オフセットしない場合に比べて、板状部材11,12が突っ張ることがなく変形しやすくなり、突っ張ることによる板状部材11,12の破断を抑制でき、よりアース経路を確保して良好な絶縁性を維持することができる。   The connection portion (one end 11a, 12a) of the plate member 11, 12 to the attachment member 5 is connected to the connection portion (the other end 11b, 12b) of the plate member 11, 12 to the side member 9, 10, in the vehicle 1. When the collision load is applied from the vehicle front-rear direction A, the plate-like members 11 and 12 are deformed without stretching compared to the case where the offset is not offset. It becomes easy to suppress breakage of the plate-like members 11 and 12 due to stretching, and it is possible to secure a ground path and maintain good insulation.

図6は、板状部材11,12の縦壁11c、12cに、車両前後方向Aに貫通する開口15,16を形成したものである。この開口15,16の下端15a、16aは、一端11a、12aの上面まで延びるように形成されている。このため、車両走行中に海水や泥等が堆積しても、開口15,16から落下させることができるので、耐腐食性も良好となる。   In FIG. 6, openings 15 and 16 penetrating in the longitudinal direction A of the vehicle are formed in the vertical walls 11c and 12c of the plate-like members 11 and 12, respectively. The lower ends 15a and 16a of the openings 15 and 16 are formed to extend to the upper surfaces of the ends 11a and 12a. For this reason, even if seawater, mud, or the like accumulates during traveling of the vehicle, it can be dropped from the openings 15 and 16, and therefore the corrosion resistance is also good.

板状部材11,12では、一端11a、12aと取付けメンバ5との接続部を1箇所としたが、図7に示す導電性部材で金属製の板状部材110,120では、図8に示すように、取付けメンバ5との接続部が複数となるように一端110a、110bを二股状に形成し、別れた先端110a1,110a2及び先端120a1,120a2が車両幅方向Wに位置するように配置して、図9に示すように取付けメンバ5に各先端をスポット溶接して固定した。図9は板状部材110側の取付け状態を示す。   In the plate-like members 11 and 12, the connecting portion between the one end 11a and 12a and the mounting member 5 is one place. However, the conductive plate-like members 110 and 120 shown in FIG. As described above, the ends 110a and 110b are formed in a bifurcated shape so that there are a plurality of connecting portions with the mounting member 5, and the separated tips 110a1 and 110a2 and tips 120a1 and 120a2 are arranged in the vehicle width direction W. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, each tip was fixed to the mounting member 5 by spot welding. FIG. 9 shows a state of attachment on the plate-like member 110 side.

板状部材110,120の他端110b、120bは、図7に示すように、サイドメンバ9,10にボルト13で締結して固定される。無論これら板状部材110,120に関しても、板状部材11,12同様の機能を有するべく、図8に示すように、縦壁110c、120cと、部分的に脆弱部となる折れ部110d、110eと折れ部120d、120eとをそれぞれ形成している。この板状部材110,120も取付けメンバ5よりも車両後方側に、少なくとも折れ部110d、110e、120d、120eと、縦部110c、120c及び他端110b、120bを配置して、かつ、車両1の前方視において取付けメンバ5に重なるように配置している。   The other ends 110b and 120b of the plate-like members 110 and 120 are fastened and fixed to the side members 9 and 10 with bolts 13 as shown in FIG. Of course, these plate-like members 110 and 120 also have the same functions as the plate-like members 11 and 12, as shown in FIG. And bend portions 120d and 120e, respectively. The plate-like members 110 and 120 also have at least the bent portions 110d, 110e, 120d, and 120e, the vertical portions 110c and 120c, and the other ends 110b and 120b arranged on the vehicle rear side of the mounting member 5, and the vehicle 1 Is arranged so as to overlap with the mounting member 5 in a front view of FIG.

すなわち、本形態にかかるアース装置は、車両に搭載された電池パック2と、電池パックを車両の前後方向に延びる一対のサイドメンバ9,10間に支持する取付けメンバ5と、取付けメンバ5とサイドメンバ9,10とを連結する板状部材110,120とを備え、板状部材110,120は、取付けメンバ5の車両の後方に配置されて車両の前方視において取付けメンバ5に重なるように配置されている。   That is, the grounding device according to this embodiment includes a battery pack 2 mounted on a vehicle, a mounting member 5 that supports the battery pack between a pair of side members 9 and 10 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, a mounting member 5 and a side Plate-like members 110 and 120 for connecting the members 9 and 10 to each other, and the plate-like members 110 and 120 are arranged at the rear of the mounting member 5 so as to overlap the mounting member 5 in a front view of the vehicle. Has been.

このように、導電性の取付けメンバ5よりも車両後方側に、取付けメンバ5とサイドメンバ9,10とに接合(接続)される導電性の板状部材110,120を、車両1の前方視において取付けメンバ5に重なるように配置することで、露出導電部となる板状部材110,120が取付けメンバ5の陰に配置されることとなり、従来のようにカバー部材が無くても走行時の飛び石による損傷を回避することができるとともに、塩水や泥等も堆積し難くなる。また、従来ケーブル類で構成されていた露出導電部を金属製の板状部材110,120で構成したので、飛び石が当たった場合でも断線のおそれがなくなる。このため、メンテナンス時の作業性を考慮しつつも、良好な絶縁性を確保することができ、乗員や作業者に対して安全な状態を維持することができる。   As described above, the conductive plate-like members 110 and 120 joined (connected) to the mounting member 5 and the side members 9 and 10 on the rear side of the vehicle with respect to the conductive mounting member 5 are viewed from the front of the vehicle 1. In this case, the plate-like members 110 and 120 serving as the exposed conductive portions are arranged behind the mounting member 5 so as to overlap the mounting member 5. Damage from stepping stones can be avoided and salt water and mud are less likely to accumulate. In addition, since the exposed conductive portion, which has conventionally been configured with cables, is configured with the metal plate-like members 110, 120, there is no risk of disconnection even when a stepping stone hits. For this reason, while considering the workability at the time of maintenance, favorable insulation can be ensured, and a safe state for the occupants and workers can be maintained.

板状部材110,120に、車両前後方向Aから衝突荷重が加えられたときに同方向に変形するように、すなわち、車両1の衝突荷重を吸収する部分的に脆弱部となる折れ部110d、110eと折れ部120d、120eを形成したので、電池パック2とシャーシとなるサイドメンバ9,10との間に相対変位が生じた場合でも、折れ部110d、110eと折れ部120d、120eの変形により吸収することができるので、良好な絶縁性を維持することができる。   The plate-like members 110 and 120 are deformed in the same direction when a collision load is applied from the vehicle longitudinal direction A, that is, a folded portion 110d that partially becomes a weak portion that absorbs the collision load of the vehicle 1; 110e and the folded portions 120d and 120e are formed, so that even when a relative displacement occurs between the battery pack 2 and the side members 9 and 10 serving as the chassis, the folded portions 110d and 110e and the folded portions 120d and 120e are deformed. Since it can be absorbed, good insulation can be maintained.

1つの取付けメンバ5に対して複数の板状部材110,120を接合し、各板状部材110,120を車両1の上面視において車両幅方向Wに位置するサイドメンバ9,10と接合したので、例えば車両1の左方から衝突荷重を受けて、一方の板状部材110が破損して片側のアース経路が絶たれた場合でも、衝突方向と反対側に位置する板状部材120により、導電部4、取付けメンバ5からサイドメンバ10に掛けてのアース経路を維持することができるので、事故車両からの救出者に対しても電気的な安全を確保することができる。   Since a plurality of plate-like members 110 and 120 are joined to one mounting member 5, each of the plate-like members 110 and 120 is joined to the side members 9 and 10 located in the vehicle width direction W in the top view of the vehicle 1. For example, even if one plate-like member 110 is damaged due to a collision load from the left side of the vehicle 1 and the ground path on one side is cut off, the plate-like member 120 located on the opposite side to the collision direction can conduct electricity. Since the ground path from the part 4 and the mounting member 5 to the side member 10 can be maintained, electrical safety can be ensured even for rescuers from accident vehicles.

板状部材110,120では、取付けメンバ5との接続部(一端110a、120a)を二股に形成し、別れた先端110a1,110a2及び120a1,120a2をそれぞれ取付けメンバ5にスポット溶接して固定したので、取付けメンバ5との接合強度が高められるとともに、スポット溶接不良による接合不良を低減することができ、より安定してアース経路を維持して良好な絶縁性を維持することができる。   In the plate-like members 110 and 120, the connection portions (one ends 110 a and 120 a) with the mounting member 5 are formed in two forks, and the separate tips 110 a 1, 110 a 2 and 120 a 1 and 120 a 2 are fixed to the mounting member 5 by spot welding. Further, the bonding strength with the mounting member 5 can be increased, the bonding failure due to the spot welding failure can be reduced, and the ground path can be maintained more stably and the good insulation can be maintained.

図10は、車両1の前輪20による飛び石と、例えば板状部材11,12との位置関係を示すものである。無論板状部材11,12ではなく板状部材110,120であってもよい。図中、車両1が前進走行しているものとすると、車輪20は反時計回りに回転する。このとき、小石などを前輪20が踏んでしまうと、符号Xで示す軌道で小石が後方に飛ばされたものとする。飛び石の軌道Xよりも車両後方側に位置する取付けメンバ6,7,8においては、飛び石の飛んでくる範囲に位置することになり、これら取付けメンバよりも車両後方側に板状部材11,12あるいは板状部材110,120を、車両1の前方視においてこれら取付けメンバに重なるように配置すると、各取付けメンバの陰にはなるが、飛び石がぶつかってしまうおそれが高い
しかし、飛び石の軌道Xよりも車両前方側に位置する取付けメンバ5においては、飛び石の飛んでくる範囲外に位置することになるので、取付けメンバ5よりも車両後方側に板状部材11,12や板状部材110,120を、車両1の前方視において取付けメンバ5に重なるように配置しても飛び石とぶつかうおそれは格段に低くなることから、本形態では、複数の取付けメンバのうち、飛び石の軌道Xよりも車両前方側に位置する取付けメンバ5の車両後方側で、車両1の前方視において取付けメンバ5に重なるように板状部材11,12や板状部材110,120を配置するようにした。
FIG. 10 shows the positional relationship between the stepping stone by the front wheel 20 of the vehicle 1 and, for example, the plate-like members 11 and 12. Of course, the plate-like members 110 and 120 may be used instead of the plate-like members 11 and 12. In the figure, assuming that the vehicle 1 is traveling forward, the wheel 20 rotates counterclockwise. At this time, if the front wheel 20 steps on the pebbles or the like, it is assumed that the pebbles are thrown back in the trajectory indicated by the symbol X. The mounting members 6, 7, 8 located on the vehicle rear side of the stepping stone track X are positioned in the range where the stepping stones fly, and the plate-like members 11, 12 on the vehicle rear side of these mounting members. Alternatively, when the plate-like members 110 and 120 are arranged so as to overlap these mounting members when viewed from the front of the vehicle 1, there is a high possibility that the stepping stones will collide, although they are behind the respective mounting members. Since the mounting member 5 located on the front side of the vehicle is located outside the range where the stepping stones fly, the plate-like members 11 and 12 and the plate-like members 110 and 120 are located on the vehicle rear side of the mounting member 5. Since the risk of hitting a stepping stone is greatly reduced even if it is arranged so as to overlap the mounting member 5 in the front view of the vehicle 1, Of the mounting members, the plate-like members 11 and 12 and the plate-like member 110 are arranged on the vehicle rear side of the mounting member 5 located on the vehicle front side of the stepping stone track X so as to overlap the mounting member 5 in the front view of the vehicle 1. 120 are arranged.

飛び石の軌道Xは、前輪20の外形や回転速度によっても変化するため、最も車両前方側となる飛び石の軌道Xを観察あるいはコンピュータ等のシミュレーションにより想定し、想定した最前の軌道Xよりも車両前方側に少なくとも各板状部材を配置するのが好ましく、より板状部材と飛び石との干渉を防ぐためには、想定した最前の軌道Xよりも車両前方側に少なくとも1つの取付けメンバを配置し、その取付けメンバよりも車両後方側に、車両1の前方視において当該取付けメンバに重なるように各板状部材を配置するのが好ましと言える。   Since the stepping stone trajectory X also changes depending on the outer shape and rotational speed of the front wheel 20, the stepping stone trajectory X that is closest to the front of the vehicle is assumed by observation or computer simulation, and the vehicle is ahead of the assumed earliest trajectory X. It is preferable to dispose at least each plate-like member on the side, and in order to prevent interference between the plate-like member and the stepping stone, at least one mounting member is arranged on the vehicle front side with respect to the most anticipated track X. It can be said that it is preferable to dispose each plate-like member on the vehicle rear side of the mounting member so as to overlap the mounting member in a front view of the vehicle 1.
