Abstract
The high voltage electric equipment unit is mounted in between left and right side frames of a vehicle body, and is disposed so that at least a portion of an outer side surface of the unit case in a vehicle width direction faces an inner side surfaces of the side frame in the vehicle width direction. A protective structure includes a plurality of contact surfaces formed on the outer side surface of the unit case in the vehicle width direction, a flat section formed in a region surrounded by the plurality of contact surfaces of the outer side surface so as to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to other area inside the region, and a plate-shaped guard member fixed to the plurality of contact surfaces and facing the flat section via a predetermined gap.
Claims2
A protection structure of a high voltage electrical equipment unit that has a unit case configured to accommodate a high voltage electric equipment part therein, that is mounted in between left and right side frames of a vehicle body, and that is disposed so that at least a portion of an outer side surface of the unit case in a vehicle width direction faces an inner side surface of the side frame in the vehicle width direction, the protection structure of the high voltage electrical equipment unit comprising:
- a plurality of contact surfaces formed on the outer side surface of the unit case in the vehicle width direction;
- a flat section that is formed in a region surrounded by the plurality of contact surfaces of the outer side surface so as to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to other portion inside the region;
- and
- a plate-shaped guard member that is fixed to the plurality of contact surfaces and that faces the flat section via a predetermined gap,
- wherein a slit extending from surroundings of the guard member toward an inner region of the guard member is formed in the guard member,
- wherein the guard member comprises a flat receiving section facing the flat section, and a swelling section that is formed on a rear end of the receiving section and that is swelling outward in the vehicle width direction, and
- wherein the slit crosses the receiving section and the swelling section in a forward/rearward direction and is opened at a rear edge of the guard member.
