[0051] The vehicle body frame 1 also includes a pair of side frames 5, which are fixed to the lower portion of the side beam 4 and are provided on both sides of the battery pack 20 in the left-right direction. The side frames 5 are fastened to the battery pack 20 by bolts or other fastening members B1 (see FIG. Figure 7 ) is fixed to the side beam 4.

[0052] Furthermore, an opening 1a is provided at the lower portion of the vehicle body frame 1. The opening 1a is provided in front of the rear floor panel 6 and inside the side members 4 and the side frames 5 in the vehicle width direction. The battery pack 20 is mounted in the opening 1a portion.

[0053] The front suspension 11 is provided in front of the battery pack 20 and is fixed to the vehicle body frame 1 . The front wheel 12 is supported by the vehicle body frame 1 via the front suspension 11 .

[0054] The rear suspension 13 is provided behind the battery pack 20 and is fixed to the vehicle body frame 1 . The rear wheel 14 is supported by the vehicle body frame 1 via the rear suspension 13 .

[0055] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the battery pack 20 includes a battery 21 (see Figure 7 ), an auxiliary machine 22 electrically connected to the battery 21, and a battery casing 23 for accommodating them.

[0056] The storage battery 21 is, for example, an all-solid-state battery. Although not shown in the figure, each cell of the storage battery 21 composed of an all-solid-state battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a solid electrolyte disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, which are sealed and packaged by an outer body such as a laminate film. The storage battery 21 is charged and discharged by the transfer of lithium ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode via the solid electrolyte.

[0057] As a solid electrolyte, there is no particular limitation as long as it has lithium ion conductivity and insulation, and materials commonly used in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries can be used. For example, sulfide solid electrolyte materials, oxide solid electrolyte materials, inorganic solid electrolytes such as lithium salts, and polymer solid electrolytes such as polyethylene oxide can be listed. There is no particular limitation on the form of the solid electrolyte material, and for example, particles can be listed.

[0058] The auxiliary device 22 includes, for example, a junction box to which wiring components are mounted, through which charging current and discharging current of the battery 21 flow. The auxiliary device 22 is electrically connected to the battery 21 via, for example, a bus bar (not shown).

[0059] The battery case 23 includes a case body 30 that is a bottomed container type, and a case cover 40 that covers the case body 30 from above.

[0060] like Figure 3As shown, the housing body 30 has a battery storage chamber 31 for arranging the battery 21, and an auxiliary machine storage chamber 32 for arranging the auxiliary machine 22. The battery storage chamber 31 is divided into two parts by a central wall portion 33 extending in the left-right direction, and the battery 21 is accommodated in each battery storage chamber 31. The auxiliary machine storage chamber 32 is provided at the front part of the housing body 30, and is provided in front of the battery storage chamber 31 via a partition wall portion 34.

[0061] The housing cover 40 includes a battery cover 40A that covers the battery storage chamber 31 from above, and an auxiliary machine cover 40B that covers the auxiliary machine storage chamber 32 from above. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface 41 of the housing cover 40 (i.e., the upper surface of the battery cover 40A and the upper surface of the auxiliary machine cover 40B) constitutes the bottom panel of the vehicle V. In other words, the bottom panel and the housing cover 40 are combined and constituted by a single component. As a result, it is not necessary to separately provide the bottom panel and the housing cover 40, so that the vehicle V can be made lighter.

[0062] Furthermore, since the auxiliary machine 22 is housed in the battery case 23 at a position forward of the battery 21, the case cover 40 can be flattened compared to a structure in which the auxiliary machine is arranged above the battery in the battery case. Therefore, the foot space in the vehicle cabin can be expanded.

[0063] Two seats 7L and 7R arranged in the left-right direction for seating passengers are mounted on the battery cover 40A. Each seat 7L and 7R is slidable in the front-rear direction and is attached to the battery cover 40A via a seat bracket 71 and a seat rail 72 described later.

[0064] A console box 8 is mounted above the auxiliary machinery cover 40B. The console box 8 is attached to a center portion in the left-right direction of the auxiliary machinery cover 40B at a position in front of the seats 7L, 7R.

[0065] Next, the details of the battery cover 40A will be described in detail.

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery cover 40A includes a plurality of beam portions 42 extending in the left-right direction, and a plurality of frame portions 43 extending in the front-rear direction and intersecting the beam portions 42 .

[0067] The plurality of beam portions 42 are integrally provided on the upper surface 41 of the battery cover 40A, and function as reinforcement portions that increase the rigidity of the battery cover 40A.

[0068] In the present embodiment, three cross beams 42 are provided, including a front cross beam 42f provided at the front of the battery cover 40A, a central cross beam 42c provided at the center of the battery cover 40A, and a rear cross beam 42r provided at the rear of the battery cover 40A. Each cross beam 42 is provided to protrude upward from the upper surface 41 of the battery cover 40A, and has a hat shape along the cross section of the plane perpendicular to the left and right direction. In addition, the number of cross beams 42 is not limited to three, and at least one cross beam 42 is sufficient.

[0069] Each cross beam 42 is configured such that both side portions in the left-right direction protrude outward in the left-right direction from the upper surface 41 of the battery cover 40A. Such a portion protruding outward in the left-right direction (also referred to as a protruding portion) is extended in the left-right direction above the side frame 5 in a state where the battery pack 20 is mounted on the vehicle body frame 1. In addition, the protruding portion of each cross beam 42 may be provided by a member different from the left-right inner portion of the cross beam 42 and joined by welding or the like, or may be provided integrally with the left-right inner portion of the cross beam 42.

[0070] The plurality of frame portions 43 are integrally provided on the upper surface 41 of the battery cover 40A. Similar to the beam portion 42, the frame portion 43 functions as a reinforcement portion that increases the rigidity of the battery cover 40A.

[0071] In this embodiment, five frame portions 43 are provided, including two front frame portions 43f provided between the front cross beam portion 42f and the central cross beam portion 42c, and three rear frame portions 43r provided between the central cross beam portion 42c and the rear cross beam portion 42r. Each frame portion 43 is also provided to protrude upward from the upper surface 41 of the battery cover 40A.

[0072] The two front frame parts 43f are arranged approximately in the center in the left-right direction, connected to the front cross beam part 42f and the central cross beam part 42c and extended. The front cross beam part 42f, the central cross beam part 42c and the front frame part 43f constitute a reinforcement part that is approximately H-shaped in a plan view, further improving the rigidity of the battery cover 40A.

[0073] The three rear frame portions 43r are respectively provided at the right side, the center, and the left side in the left-right direction, and the right and left rear frame portions 43r are connected to the center cross beam portion 42c and the rear cross beam portion 42r and extended.

[0074] Next, refer to Figures 4 to 7 The fixation of the battery pack 20 and the vehicle body frame 1 will be described.

[0075] like Figure 4As shown, the case body 30 has a plurality of vehicle body fixing portions 35 at the front edge and the rear edge. By fastening these vehicle body fixing portions 35 to the vehicle body frame 1 , the battery pack 20 is fixed to the vehicle body frame 1 at the front edge and the rear edge.

[0076] In addition, if Figure 7 As shown, a battery fixing bracket 36 is provided at the left edge of the housing body 30, and the housing body 30 is fixed to the left side frame 5 via the battery fixing bracket 36. In addition, the upper surface of the side frame 5 extends toward the battery pack 20, and a side frame fixing portion 37 directly fixed to the pair of side frames 5 is provided on the side wall portion of the housing body 30. In addition, the right edge of the housing body 30 and the right side frame 5 are fixed in the same manner.

[0077] In addition, if Figures 5 to 7 As shown in FIG. 1 , an expansion member 45 is provided at both ends (i.e., the extended portion) in the left-right direction of each cross beam portion 42. The expansion member 45 is provided to extend in the left-right direction above the side frame 5. The cross section of the expansion member 45 also has a hat shape, similar to each cross beam portion 42. The expansion member 45 is provided to cover both ends of each cross beam portion 42 from above, and is attached to each cross beam portion 42 via a fastening member B2 such as a bolt.

[0078] The expansion member 45 and the side frame 5 are fixed by a fastening member B3 such as a bolt. In more detail, the expansion member 45 is provided separately from the side frame 5 in the up-down direction, but the fastening member B3 is inserted through the expansion member 45, the cross beam 42 and the side frame 5 to fix them. In this way, both ends of each cross beam 42 are fixed to the side frame 5 by the expansion member 45. Each cross beam 42 is fixed to the side frame 5 by the expansion member 45, so that the rigidity of the battery cover 40A can be ensured.

[0079] The expansion member 45 and the side member 4 are fixed, for example, by spot welding or the like. Specifically, the expansion member 45 is fixed to the side member 4 at the end 45a in the left-right direction. In this way, each cross member 42 is also fixed to the side member 4 via the expansion member 45. Each cross member 42 is extended in the left-right direction to such an extent that it does not interfere with the side member 4 when the battery pack 20 is mounted in the opening 1a portion of the vehicle body frame 1 from below, and is fixed to the side member 4 by the expansion member 45, so that the rigidity of the battery cover 40A can be ensured.

[0080] In this way, the battery pack 20 is fixed to the vehicle body frame 1 by the vehicle body fixing portion 35 , the battery fixing bracket 36 and the side frame fixing portion 37 provided on the case body 30 , and the expansion member 45 provided on each cross member 42 .

[0081] Each cross beam 42 is fixed to the side beam 4 and the side frame 5 via the expansion member 45 , so that when the vehicle V collides sideways, the load input from the side beam 4 and the side frame 5 to the inner side in the vehicle width direction can be transferred to the cross beam 42 , thereby protecting the battery 21 housed in the battery case 23 .

[0082] In addition, if Figure 7 As shown, each cross member 42 is disposed opposite to the side members 4 in the left-right direction. Thus, load input from the side members 4 to the inner side in the vehicle width direction during a side collision of the vehicle V can be well transmitted to the cross member 42 without deviation.

[0083] Next, the attachment of the seats 7L, 7R to the housing cover 40 will be described.

[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, the seats 7L and 7R are mounted on the cross beam portion 42 of the battery cover 40A. As described above, the cross beam portion 42 is a high-rigidity portion that functions as a reinforcement portion, so even in a structure in which the seats 7L and 7R are directly mounted on the battery cover 40A, the rigidity of the battery cover 40A can be sufficiently ensured to withstand the load caused by the weight of the seats 7L and 7R and the weight of the occupants sitting on the seats 7L and 7R.

[0085] In addition, the seats 7L and 7R are mounted across the front cross beam 42f and the center cross beam 42c of the battery cover 40A. In this way, a plurality of cross beams 42 for mounting the seats 7L and 7R are provided, so that the rigidity of the battery cover 40A can be further increased to withstand the load from the seats, and the battery cover 40A can stably support the seats 7L and 7R.

[0086] Furthermore, seat rails 72 are provided at the right and left ends of the seats 7L and 7R, and are laid over the front cross beam 42f and the center cross beam 42c. With such a structure, the seat rails 72 themselves can also contribute to improving the rigidity of the battery cover 40A.

[0087] Seat brackets 71 to which the seats 7L and 7R are mounted are provided at both ends of the front cross beam 42f in the left-right direction. The right front end of the right seat 7R and the left front end of the left seat 7L are fixed to the seat brackets 71 via seat rails 72. In addition, the right rear end of the right seat 7R and the left rear end of the left seat 7L are fixed to both ends of the central cross beam 42c in the left-right direction.

[0088] Furthermore, a seat bracket 71 is also provided at the center portion in the left-right direction of the front cross beam portion 42f. The right front end portion of the left seat 7L and the left front end portion of the right seat 7R are fixed to the seat bracket 71 via a seat rail 72. Furthermore, the right rear end portion of the left seat 7L and the left rear end portion of the right seat 7R are fixed to the center portion of the center cross beam portion 42c via a seat rail 72.

[0089] The expansion member 45 fixed to the side frame 5 is a high-rigidity portion, and a portion of the seat 7L, 7R is fixed near such a high-rigidity portion. Therefore, the battery pack 20 can support the seat 7L, 7R at the high-rigidity portion.

[0090] Furthermore, since the seat bracket 71 is disposed above the side frame 5 , the seats 7L and 7R are indirectly supported by the side frame 5 , and the seats 7L and 7R can be supported by the battery cover 40A and the side frame 5 .

[0091] Furthermore, since the seat bracket 71 provided at the center portion of the front cross member 42f in the left-right direction is connected to the front frame portion 43f, the seats 7L, 7R can be supported at a high rigidity portion also at the center portion in the vehicle width direction.

[0092] Above, one embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is certainly not limited to this embodiment.
