Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, as mentioned above, the PCU is a relatively large device, so if the PCU and the stroke simulator are housed integrally in the motor room, there is a problem that the layout of the motor room will be reduced.
In addition, when such a structure is adopted, for example, in a frontal collision (hereinafter referred to as a frontal collision), the stroke simulator, the PCU, and the

Embodiment Construction

[0050] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0051] figure 1 It is a schematic configuration diagram obtained by observing the front part of the electric vehicle in this embodiment from the side, figure 2 It is a top view of the front of the electric car. It should be noted that the directions such as front, rear, left, and right in the following description are the same as the direction of the vehicle unless otherwise stated.

[0052] Such as figure 1 , 2 As shown, in the electric vehicle 1 of the present embodiment, a motor room 3 is partitioned in the front part of the vehicle body 2. The motor room 3 mainly houses: the electric motor 4 as a driving source; the PCU5 which is arranged above the electric motor 4 to control the driving of the electric motor 4; and the one that generates the reaction force corresponding to the operation of the brake pedal (not shown) by the driver Brake stroke simulator 6 (hereinafter referred to a...

Abstract

The invention provides an electric vehicle, which, on the basis of realizing low cost and light weight, can inhibit interference of a power control unit or a PCU mounting frame and other parts disposed in a motor chamber, thereby protecting the power control unit. The PCU mounting frame (22) surrounds a PCU (5) from the periphery, and the PCU mounting frame (22) is provided with a front part supporting leg part (32) connecting a front supporting frame (25) and a left side supporting frame (24), a back part supporting leg part (34) connecting the left side supporting frame (24) and a back supporting frame, the back part supporting leg part (34) is in an offset configuration to an internal side along a left-right direction relative to the front part supporting leg part (32) in a mode of getting away from a travel simulator (6) in a left-right direction, and is at the back part of a front end part of the travel simulator (6).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electric vehicles. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in an electric vehicle or the like, an electric motor is housed in a motor room arranged in the front part of the vehicle body, and a power control unit (hereinafter referred to as PCU) arranged above the electric motor to control the driving of the electric motor, for example. [0003] As such a PCU, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which a plurality of electrical devices such as a DC-DC converter and an inverter are collectively housed in a housing. According to this structure, it is possible to reduce the number of cables to connect each electric device, and therefore it is considered that cost reduction and space efficiency improvement can be achieved. [0004] On the other hand, the PCU described in Patent Document 1 described above has a relatively large size due to the fact that a plurality of electric devices are housed in a housing....
