Abstract
The high-voltage cable protection structure of the present disclosure is a high-voltage cable protection structure that protects a high-voltage cable extending from an electrical device mounted in a front compartment of a vehicle to the rear of the vehicle. Also, in the front compartment, rear parts are arranged behind the electrical device in a vehicle front-rear direction, and a first protection member that covers the high-voltage cable, and a second protection member that is more rigid than the first protection member and that is arranged to cover the high-voltage cable outside the first protection member in a narrower area than the first protection member are included.
Claims5
A high-voltage cable protection structure in a front compartment of a vehicle, comprising:
- an electric device provided in the front compartment;
- a high-voltage cable that is a conductor covered with a sheath and extends toward a vehicle rear side from the electric device in a vehicle front-rear direction, the high-voltage cable separating into a first branch and a second branch at a terminal portion of the high-voltage cable, the first branch and the second branch respectively being connected to the electric device via a first connector and a second connector;
- a rear component provided in the front compartment, the rear component being disposed rearward of the electric device in the vehicle front-rear direction;
- a first protection member that covers at least a part of a predetermined range of the high-voltage cable, the predetermined range being from a connection portion of the electric device and the high-voltage cable to a separating portion from which the high-voltage cable separates;
- and
- a second protection member having higher rigidity than the first protection member, the second protection member covering the high-voltage cable from outside of the first protection member in a narrower range than the first protection member.
