Abstract
A battery casing contains a high-voltage battery. Load paths are formed around a high-voltage connector in the occurrence of collision in order to prevent the high-voltage connector from being damaged. Portions including the surroundings of the high-voltage connector have strength against collision, thereby ensuring reliability against collision.
Claims11
A battery casing containing a high-voltage battery, the battery casing comprising:
- a battery floor comprising side seals disposed on lateral portions of the battery floor to extend in a longitudinal direction, a front seal extending in a transverse direction intersecting the side seals to connect the side seals, and a connector provided in front of the front seal and connected to electric components, including batteries;
- an extension floor comprising side members connected to a front end of the battery floor and coupled to the side seals to form load paths, and comprising a front member extending in a lateral direction to connect the side members and having an open area in a portion facing the connector;
- and
- a reinforcing structure disposed in the open area of the extension floor to surround the connector, the reinforcing structure being disposed to support the front seal and the front member, thereby forming the load paths.
