Electric vehicle battery installing structure

Abstract

The invention provides an electric vehicle battery installing structure which is capable of improving the difficulty of causing short circuits that are resulted from foreign matters engaged between battery terminals. The electric vehicle battery installing structure can also realize high terminal connectivity. The electric vehicle battery installing structure is provided with a connecting part, a guiding part and a locking part. A vehicle side terminal is mounted on the connecting part, the connecting part can be supported on a vehicle side through a shaft in such a way that the connecting part can be tilted, the guiding part is arranged on a battery and can enable the connecting part to tilt corresponding to battery lengthwise movement through connection with the connecting part, the vehicle side terminal and a battery side terminal are enabled to move to a connecting side or a separating side, and the locking part is used for retaining the battery on a retainer side of the battery; a side face, positioned on the rear side of a vehicle body, of the battery is connected with the vehicle side terminal and the battery terminal. The electric vehicle battery installing structure is provided with a spring part which applies force to a connecting mechanism toward the direction along which the vehicle side terminal leaves from the battery side terminal, and a vehicle body side is provided with a slide plate covering a part above a connection part of a vehicle side terminal and a battery side terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a battery mounting structure for an electric vehicle, and more particularly to a battery mounting structure for an electric vehicle that facilitates attachment and detachment from a vehicle body. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in an electric vehicle running by supplying electric power from an on-vehicle battery (hereinafter, simply referred to as a battery.) to a motor, there is known a structure in which the battery can be attached and detached from the vehicle body so that the battery can be replaced or Charging etc. performed indoors becomes easy. [0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which, in an electric motorcycle of a scooter type, a storage space for a vertically elongated battery is provided at the lower portion of the openable seat. Insert and remove the battery up and down. A tray-shaped bottomed battery holder for supporting the battery is attached to the vehicle body side. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the structure disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that since the vehicle-side terminal is provided at the bottom of the battery holder opened on the upper side of the vehicle body, and the battery-side terminal is provided at the bottom of the rectangular parallelepiped battery, Therefore, even if there is biting of foreign matter between the two terminals, it is difficult to visually detect

In addition, since the connection between the terminals is performed in the vertical direction, there is a possibility that the vibration in the vertical direction generated during driving may affect the terminal connectivity.
