Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle battery cover. [Background technology]

[0002] Vehicles are equipped with batteries, most of which are installed inside the engine compartment. The inside of the engine compartment becomes very hot due to heat radiated from the internal combustion engine. If the battery becomes too cold, it cannot perform adequately, but if it becomes too hot, its performance will also decrease. Therefore, a cover attached to the battery is known for the purpose of insulating the battery from the heat inside the engine compartment.

[0003] Such battery covers have generally been made of resin and molded into a box shape by injection molding, but such covers have problems in that they are expensive to manufacture because they require an injection mold, and because they are box-shaped, they are bulky during transportation, etc., and improvements to these problems have been desired.

[0004] In view of this, a foldable battery cover using a resin plate has also been proposed (see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3122083 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the battery covers described above, when the plastic plate is made into a frame-shaped cover body, the ends are joined together with bolts or plug-in hooks. If the cover is bolted, there is a risk that the bolts will interfere with the battery, and if the cover is plugged in, there is a risk that the hooks will come loose.

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to reduce interference between the connecting portion of the cover body and the battery, and to improve the connecting strength of the connecting portion of the cover body. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The vehicle battery cover according to the present invention includes a cover body that surrounds a battery mounted on a vehicle, and the cover body is formed by combining two resin plates. The resin plates have a rectangular main body and side portions formed on both sides of the main body via hinge portions, and each side portion of the resin plate is formed with at least one of a connecting piece portion extending along the up-down direction and a hole portion into which the connecting piece portion is inserted. With the main bodies of the two resin plates facing each other, the side portions of the two resin plates are overlapped and the connecting piece portion is inserted into the hole portion, thereby connecting the two resin plates to each other. Effect of the Invention

[0009] Advantageous Effects of Invention According to the vehicle battery cover of the present invention, it is possible to reduce interference between the connecting portion of the cover body and the battery, and to improve the connecting strength of the connecting portion of the cover body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0012] A vehicle battery cover (hereinafter, referred to as "battery cover") 1A according to one embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4.

[0013] 1 to 3, the battery cover 1A has a rectangular frame-shaped cover body 3A that surrounds and covers the periphery of the battery 2 (see FIG. 5) mounted on a vehicle. The cover body 3A is configured into a rectangular frame shape by combining two resin plates 4A, 4A (see FIG. 4).

[0014] Each resin plate 4A has a rectangular main body 5 and side surfaces 6a, 6b formed on both sides of the main body 5 via hinge portions 7. A folding line 8 that functions as the hinge portion 7 is formed between each of the side surfaces 6a, 6b and the main body 5. Two folding lines 8, 8 are formed in each hinge portion 7, so that folding at each hinge portion 7 can be easily performed.

[0015] The side portions 6a, 6b of each resin plate 4A are each formed into a horizontal trapezoid shape in which the upper edge portion 11a slopes diagonally downward from the base end 12a side toward the tip end 12b side, and the lower edge portion 11b slopes diagonally upward from the base end 12a side toward the tip end 12b side (see FIG. 4).

[0016] Further, each of the side surfaces 6a, 6b of the resin plate 4A is formed with either a connecting piece portion 13 extending in the up-down direction or a hole portion 14 into which the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted (see FIG. 4).

[0017] As shown in Fig. 4, a first connecting piece 13a extending upward and a second connecting piece 13b extending downward are formed on the side surface portion (first side surface portion) 6a on the left side in Fig. 4 of each resin plate 4A. The first connecting piece 13a and the second connecting piece 13b are arranged on the first side surface portion 6a of each resin plate 4A in this order from above. That is, the first connecting piece 13a and the second connecting piece 13b are arranged at an interval in the up-down direction on the first side surface portion 6a of each resin plate 4A.

[0018] The first connecting piece 13a and the second connecting piece 13b are each formed in an arrow shape, and a protrusion 15 that functions as a retainer is formed on both sides of the tip of each of the first connecting piece 13a and the second connecting piece 13b. In addition, an arrow-shaped slit 16 is formed around each of the first connecting piece 13a and the second connecting piece 13b by punching.

[0019] On the other hand, a first hole 14a into which the first connecting piece 13a is inserted and a second hole 14b into which the second connecting piece 13b is inserted are formed in the side surface portion (second side surface portion) 6b on the right side in Fig. 4 of each resin plate 4A. The first hole 14a and the second hole 14b are arranged in order from above in the second side surface portion 6b of each resin plate 4A. That is, the first hole 14a and the second hole 14b are arranged at an interval in the up-down direction in the second side surface portion 6b of each resin plate 4A.

[0020] The first hole 14a and the second hole 14b are each formed in a long hole shape that is long in the horizontal direction. The first connecting piece 13a and the second connecting piece 13b are inserted into the first hole 14a and the second hole 14b, respectively, to connect the two resin plates 4A, 4A to each other.

[0021] 1 to 3, the main bodies 5 of the two resin plates 4A are faced to each other, and the side surfaces 6a, 6b of the two resin plates 4A are overlapped. In this state, the connecting piece 13 is inserted into the hole 14, so that the two resin plates 4A are connected to each other.

[0022] Specifically, the first side surface portion 6a of one of the two resin plates 4A and the second side surface portion 6b of the other resin plate 4A are overlapped with each other. In this state, the first connecting piece portion 13a of the first side surface portion 6a is inserted into the first hole portion 14a of the second side surface portion 6b, and the second connecting piece portion 13b of the first side surface portion 6a is inserted into the second hole portion 14b of the second side surface portion 6b.

[0023] The second side surface portion 6b of the other resin plate 4A is overlapped on the outside of the first side surface portion 6a of the one resin plate 4A. In this state, the first connecting piece portion 13a is inserted from the inside of the first hole portion 14a so as to protrude outward, and the second connecting piece portion 13b is inserted from the inside of the second hole portion 14b so as to protrude outward. Therefore, the tip portion of each connecting piece portion 13 and the protrusions 15 formed on both sides of the tip of each connecting piece portion 13 are located outside the cover body 3A.

[0024] Each resin plate 4A has a tab 17 at the center of the upper edge of the main body 5 via a hinge portion 18 (folding line 19). The tab 17 extends integrally from the main body 5 of each resin plate 4A and is folded inward via the hinge portion 18 (folding line 19).

[0025] A shock-absorbing member such as a sponge may be attached to the inner surface of the cover body 3A.

[0026] Although not shown in the drawings, the battery cover 1A (cover body 3A) having the above-mentioned configuration is foldable. By folding, the volume occupied by the cover is reduced, making transportation easier. When the battery cover 1A is folded, the tab 17 is stretched upward so as not to interfere with the folding.

[0027] Furthermore, when the battery cover 1A is folded, the adjacent main body portion 5 and side portion 6a, 6b are folded back until they nearly meet at the hinge portion 7, and as described above, two fold lines 8, 8 are formed at each hinge portion 7. Therefore, it is only necessary to fold the battery cover 1A by about 90 degrees at each fold line 8, making the battery cover 1A easy to fold. If only one fold line were formed at each hinge portion 7, the battery cover 1A would have to be completely folded back at this single fold line, and this could result in the battery cover 1A not being folded back sufficiently or the stress acting on the fold line being excessive.

[0028] The cover body 3A in this embodiment is formed using two resin plates 4A shown in FIG. 4. These two resin plates 4A, 4A are formed in the same shape when the side portions 6a, 6b and the tab 17 are flattened out. Each resin plate 4A is a die-cut polypropylene (PP) sheet, and by using inexpensive polypropylene, the cover body 3A can be easily folded while having a suitable rigidity. The resin plate 4A shown in FIG. 4 can be obtained simply by die-cutting a polypropylene sheet, so that it is easy to manufacture. In addition, the above-mentioned resin plates 4A, 4A may be a translucent natural color. By making the above-mentioned resin plates 4A, 4A a translucent natural color, the liquid level of the battery fluid can be easily confirmed when the battery cover 1A (cover body 3A) is attached to the battery 2.

[0029] The effects of this embodiment will be described below.

[0030] (1) The battery cover 1A includes a cover body 3A that surrounds a battery 2 (see FIG. 5) mounted on a vehicle, and the cover body 3A is formed by combining two resin plates 4A, 4A. The resin plate 4A has a rectangular main body portion 5 and side portions 6a, 6b that are formed on both sides of the main body portion 5 via hinge portions 7. At least one of a connecting piece portion 13 extending along the vertical direction and a hole portion 14 into which the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted is formed on each of the side portions 6a, 6b of the resin plate 4A. With the main body portions 5 of the two resin plates 4A, 4A facing each other, the side portions 6a, 6b of the two resin plates 4A, 4A are overlapped, and the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted into the hole portion 14, thereby connecting the two resin plates 4A, 4A to each other.

[0031] If the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted in the folding direction (horizontal direction) of the cover body 3A, there is a possibility that the connecting piece portion 13 will come off the hole portion 14 when the cover body 3A is folded. In the battery cover 1A according to this embodiment, the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted in the up-down direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the folding direction of the cover body 3A, so that the connecting piece portion 13 is less likely to come off the hole portion 14 when the cover body 3A is folded.

[0032] Since two resin plates 4A, 4A are used when assembling the cover body 3A, the size of each member can be reduced.

[0033] Since the cover body 3A can be folded, the volume it occupies during transportation can be reduced, and transportation efficiency can be improved.

[0034] Since there is no need to connect the cover body 3A to a frame shape using bolts, rivets, or the like, interference with the battery 2 (see FIG. 5) can be suppressed.

[0035] (2) Connecting piece portion 13 has a first connecting piece portion 13a extending upward and a second connecting piece portion 13b extending downward, and hole portion 14 has a first hole portion 14a into which first connecting piece portion 13a is inserted and a second hole portion 14b into which second connecting piece portion 13b is inserted.

[0036] By connecting two resin plates 4A, 4A using the upward first connecting piece portion 13a and the downward second connecting piece portion 13b, the connecting piece portion 13 is less likely to come off the hole portion 14 when the cover body 3A is folded.

[0037] (3) The side portion (second side portion) 6b of the other resin plate 4A in which a hole portion 14 is formed is placed on the outside of the side portion (first side portion) 6a in which the connecting piece portion 13 of one resin plate 4A is formed, and the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted from the inside of the hole portion 14 to the outside.

[0038] Since the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted from the inside to the outside of the hole portion 14, it is possible to prevent the connecting piece portion 13 (especially the tip portion) from interfering with the battery 2 when the cover main body 3A is attached to the battery 2 (see Figure 5).

[0039] (4) The side portions 6a, 6b of the resin plate 4A are formed into a horizontal trapezoidal shape in which the upper edge portion 11a slopes diagonally downward from the base end 12a side toward the tip end 12b side, and the lower edge portion 11b slopes diagonally upward from the base end 12a side toward the tip end 12b side.

[0040] By forming the side portions 6a, 6b of the resin plate 4A into a trapezoidal shape, the distance from the upper edge portion 11a or the lower edge portion 11b of the side portions 6a, 6b to the connecting piece portion 13 becomes shorter, making it easier to insert the connecting piece portion 13 into the hole portion 14.

[0041] (5) The two resin plates 4A, 4A are formed in the same shape when the side portions 6a, 6b are laid out flat.

[0042] By using two resin plates 4A, 4A of the same shape, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the battery cover 1A, compared to a case in which the two resin plates 4A, 4A have different shapes.

[0043] (6) Each of the two resin plates 4A, 4A has a tab 17 formed on the upper edge of the main body 5.

[0044] The tab 17 functions as a handle when the cover body 3A attached to the battery 2 (see FIG. 5) is removed upward. In addition, various information (such as the name of the cover material, the type of battery or vehicle model to be attached, etc.) can be written on the tab 17, and the information can be easily confirmed from above. Furthermore, when the battery 2 is fixed after the cover body 3A is attached to the battery 2, the tab 17 is sandwiched between the battery 2 and the cover body 3A is also firmly fixed.

[0045] (Other embodiments) A battery cover 1B according to another embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 10. Note that components that are substantially the same as those in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.

[0046] 5 to 8, the battery cover 1B includes a rectangular frame-shaped cover body 3B that surrounds and covers the periphery of the battery 2 mounted on a vehicle. The cover body 3B is configured into a rectangular frame shape by combining two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb (see Figs. 9 and 10).

[0047] The side surfaces 6a, 6b of the resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb are each formed with either a connecting piece portion 13 extending in the up-down direction or a hole portion 14 into which the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

[0048] As shown in Fig. 9, a first connecting piece 13a extending upward and a second connecting piece 13b extending downward are formed on a side surface portion (first side surface portion) 6a on the left side of the resin plate 4Ba in Fig. 9. On the other hand, a first hole portion 14a into which the first connecting piece portion 13a is inserted and a second hole portion 14b into which the second connecting piece portion 13b is inserted are formed on a side surface portion (second side surface portion) 6b on the right side of the resin plate 4Bb in Fig. 9.

[0049] As shown in Fig. 10, a first hole 14a into which the first connecting piece 13a is inserted and a second hole 14b into which the second connecting piece 13b is inserted are formed in a side surface portion (first side surface portion) 6a on the left side of the resin plate 4Bb in Fig. 10. On the other hand, a first connecting piece 13a extending upward and a second connecting piece 13b extending downward are formed in a side surface portion (second side surface portion) 6b on the right side of the resin plate 4Bb in Fig. 10.

[0050] 5 to 8, the side portions 6a, 6b of the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb are overlapped with each other while the main bodies 5 of the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb face each other. In this state, the connecting piece portion 13 is inserted into the hole portion 14, so that the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb are connected to each other.

[0051] Specifically, of the two resin plates 4Ba and 4Bb, the first side surface portion 6a of the first resin plate 4Ba and the first side surface portion 6a of the second resin plate 4Bb are overlapped. In this state, the first connecting piece portion 13a on the first resin plate 4Ba side is inserted into the first hole portion 14a on the second resin plate 4Bb side, and the second connecting piece portion 13b on the first resin plate 4Ba side is inserted into the second hole portion 14b on the second resin plate 4Bb side.

[0052] The first side surface portion 6a of the second resin plate 4Bb is overlapped on the outside of the first side surface portion 6a of the first resin plate 4Ba. In this state, the first connecting piece portion 13a is inserted from the inside of the first hole portion 14a so as to protrude outward, and the second connecting piece portion 13b is inserted from the inside of the second hole portion 14b so as to protrude outward. Therefore, the tip portion of each connecting piece portion 13 and the protrusions 15 formed on both sides of the tip of each connecting piece portion 13 are located outside the cover body 3B.

[0053] Meanwhile, the second side surface portion 6b of the first resin plate 4Ba and the second side surface portion 6b of the second resin plate 4Bb are overlapped. In this state, the first connecting piece portion 13a on the second resin plate 4Bb side is inserted into the first hole portion 14a on the first resin plate 4Ba side, and the second connecting piece portion 13b on the second resin plate 4Bb side is inserted into the second hole portion 14b on the first resin plate 4Ba side.

[0054] The second side surface portion 6b of the first resin plate 4Ba is overlapped on the outer side of the second side surface portion 6b of the second resin plate 4Bb. In this state, the first connecting piece portion 13a is inserted from the inside of the first hole portion 14a so as to protrude from the inside to the outside, and the second connecting piece portion 13b is inserted from the inside of the second hole portion 14b so as to protrude from the inside to the outside. Therefore, the tip portion of each connecting piece portion 13 and the protrusions 15 formed on both sides of the tip of each connecting piece portion 13 are located outside the cover body 3B.

[0055] Each of the resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb has a connection piece 31 formed at a position offset laterally from the center of the upper edge of the main body 5 (see Figs. 9 and 10). The connection pieces 31 extend integrally from the main body 5 of each of the resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb. A strap 32 is attached to each connection piece 31 by caulking or the like and is hung between the connection pieces 31 of the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb. The strap 32 is made of a material such as nylon or a tape (ripplon tape) formed by weaving polypropylene, but other materials can also be used.

[0056] Further, a rubber plate 33 is attached to a portion of the body portion 5 of the resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb that will interfere with adjacent parts in the event of a vehicle collision (in this embodiment, the lateral central portion of the body portion 5 of the resin plate 4Bb arranged on the vehicle rear side (passenger side)) (see FIG. 6). This rubber plate 33 is formed from, for example, ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM).

[0057] The effects of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 10 will be described below.

[0058] In the embodiment shown in Figures 5 to 10, the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb each have a connecting piece 31 formed on the upper edge of the main body 5, and a strap 32 is suspended between the connecting pieces 31 of the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb.

[0059] By attaching the straps 32 to each of the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb, it becomes easier to hold the straps 32 when placing the cover body 3B over the battery 2. In addition, the straps 32 rest on the battery 2, making it possible to prevent the cover body 3B from coming off or falling off. By attaching the straps 32 to the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb in an unfolded state, the two resin plates 4Ba, 4Bb can be transported, delivered, etc. as a set.

[0060] In the embodiment shown in Figs. 5 to 10, a rubber plate 33 is attached to a portion of the main body 5 of the resin plate 4Bb that will come into contact with adjacent parts in the event of a vehicle collision (see Fig. 6).

[0061] By attaching the rubber plate 33 to the resin plate 4Bb, damage to the battery 2 due to impact when the vehicle collides can be suppressed.

[0062] (Still another embodiment) A battery cover 1C according to still another embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 11 to 14. Note that components that are substantially the same as those in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4 are given the same reference numerals and overlapping descriptions will be omitted.

[0063] 11 to 13, the battery cover 1C includes a rectangular frame-shaped cover body 3C that surrounds and covers the periphery of the battery 2 (see FIG. 5) mounted on the vehicle. The cover body 3C is configured into a rectangular frame shape by combining two resin plates 4C, 4C (see FIG. 14).

[0064] Both a connecting piece portion 13 and a hole portion 14 are formed in each of the side surface portions 6a, 6b of each resin plate 4C (see FIG. 14).

[0065] As shown in Fig. 14, a first connecting piece 13a extending upward and a second hole 14b into which the second connecting piece 13b is inserted are formed in the side surface portion (first side surface portion) 6a on the left side in Fig. 14 of each resin plate 4C. The first connecting piece 13a and the second hole 14b are arranged in this order from above in the first side surface portion 6a of each resin plate 4C. That is, the first connecting piece 13a and the second hole 14b are arranged at an interval in the up-down direction in the first side surface portion 6a of each resin plate 4C.

[0066] On the other hand, a first hole 14a into which the first connecting piece 13a is inserted and a second connecting piece 13b extending downward are formed in the side surface portion (second side surface portion) 6b on the right side in FIG. 14 of each resin plate 4C. The first hole 14a and the second connecting piece 13b are arranged in order from above in the second side surface portion 6b of each resin plate 4C. That is, the first hole 14a and the second connecting piece 13b are arranged at an interval in the up-down direction in the second side surface portion 6b of each resin plate 4C.

[0067] 11 to 13, the main bodies 5 of the two resin plates 4C are faced to each other, and the side surfaces 6a, 6b of the two resin plates 4C are overlapped with each other. In this state, the connecting piece 13 is inserted into the hole 14, so that the two resin plates 4C are connected to each other.

[0068] Specifically, the first side surface portion 6a of one of the two resin plates 4C, 4C is overlapped with the second side surface portion 6b of the other resin plate 4C. In this state, the first connecting piece portion 13a of the first side surface portion 6a is inserted into the first hole portion 14a of the second side surface portion 6b, and the second connecting piece portion 13b of the second side surface portion 6b is inserted into the second hole portion 14b of the first side surface portion 6a.

[0069] The second side surface portion 6b of the other resin plate 4C is overlapped on the outer side of the first side surface portion 6a of the one resin plate 4C. In this state, the first connecting piece portion 13a is inserted from the inner side of the first hole portion 14a so as to protrude outward, and the second connecting piece portion 13b is inserted from the outer side of the second hole portion 14b so as to protrude inward.

[0070] The effects of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 will be described below.

[0071] In the embodiment shown in Figures 11 to 14, both a connecting piece portion 13 and a hole portion 14 are formed in each of the side portions 6a, 6b of the resin plate 4C. The side portion of one resin plate 4C is overlapped on the outside of the side portion of the other resin plate 4C, and the connecting piece portion 13 formed in the side portion of the one resin plate 4C is inserted so as to protrude from the inside to the outside of the hole portion 14 formed in the side portion of the other resin plate 4C. The connecting piece portion 13 formed in the side portion of the other resin plate 4C is inserted so as to protrude from the outside to the inside of the hole portion 14 formed in the side portion of the one resin plate 4C.

[0072] The two resin plates 4C, 4C are connected by combining the connecting piece portion 13 inserted from the inside of the hole portion 14 so as to protrude outward and the connecting piece portion 13 inserted from the outside of the hole portion 14 so as to protrude inward. Therefore, when the two resin plates 4C, 4C are connected to assemble the cover body 3C, the connecting piece portion 13 is less likely to come off the hole portion 14.

[0073] Incidentally, the vehicle battery cover of the present invention has been described using the above-mentioned embodiment as an example, but it is not limited to this embodiment and various other embodiments can be adopted within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
