Abstract
A power supply system includes a battery disposed on a vehicle lower portion; a feeder line electrically coupled to the battery, wired inside a hollow front pillar that couples a vehicle upper portion with the vehicle lower portion, and configured to supply electric power from the battery to the vehicle upper portion; and a power distributor disposed on the vehicle upper portion, electrically coupled to the feeder line, and configured to distribute the electric power that is input from the feeder line to load devices disposed on a vehicle. As a result, the power supply system can improve the workability of wiring work.
Claims4
A power supply system comprising:
- a power supply device disposed on a vehicle lower portion of a vehicle;
- a power line electrically coupled to the power supply device, wired inside a hollow coupling member that couples a vehicle upper portion of the vehicle with the vehicle lower portion thereof, and configured to supply electric power from the power supply device to the vehicle upper portion;
- a power distributor electrically coupled to the power line;
- a first voltage converter electrically coupled to the power line via the power distributor and configured to convert voltage of the electric power that is input from the power line via the power distributor;
- a second voltage converter electrically coupled to the power line via the power distributor and configured to convert voltage of the electric power that is input from the power line via the power distributor;
- a overhead console disposed on the vehicle upper portion and on a front side in an advancing direction of the vehicle, and accommodates the power distributor, the first voltage converter, a first load device, and the second voltage converter;
- a first electric wire arranged in the overhead console and transmitting the electric power converted by the first voltage converter to the first load device;
- and
- a second electric wire that transmits the electric power converted by the second voltage converter to a second load device that is outside the overhead console and is arranged on a ceiling of the vehicle, the second electric wire being arranged on the ceiling of the vehicle;
- wherein
- the coupling member is a front pillar disposed on the front side in the advancing direction,
- the power distributor distributes the electric power input from the power line to each of the first voltage converter and the second voltage converter,
- the first voltage converter supplies electric power to the first load device accommodated in the overhead console, and
- the second voltage converter supplies electric power to the second load device that is outside the overhead console and is arranged on the ceiling of the vehicle.
