ELECTRIC STORAGE DEVICE FOR VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT

摘要

An upper chamber and a lower chamber are provided in a housing of an electric storage device for vehicle deployment by a middle base plate. The lower chamber is sealed with respect to the upper chamber by the middle base plate. A battery module is disposed in the lower chamber. A control device, such as a cell controller, and electrical parts, such as a junction box and a service disconnect switch, are mounted in the upper chamber. Strong and weak current system wiring that connect the battery module and the electrical parts respectively penetrate strong and weak current system openings of the middle base plate, and are routed to the upper chamber. The openings, which are penetrated by the strong and the weak current system wiring, are each provided with a sealing member, and thus the lower chamber is sealed with respect to the upper chamber.

主权项

1. An electric storage device for vehicle deployment which performs discharge of electric power to an inverter device which controls a motor, and charge of electric power supplied from the inverter device, the electric storage device characterized by comprising:
a housing that has a lower housing, an upper housing, and a middle base plate mounted between the lower housing and the upper housing, in which a lower chamber is formed below the middle base plate, in which an upper chamber is formed above the middle base plate, and in which the lower chamber is formed in an airtight state with respect to the upper chamber; at least two battery blocks that are arranged in the lower chamber and each of which includes plural cell batteries housed in a cell housing; a control device that is arranged in the upper chamber and monitors and controls states of the plural cell batteries; a junction box that has: a positive electrode external terminal that is connected to positive electrode external power supply wiring for connecting a positive electrode terminal of the battery block of the highest potential of the battery blocks to a positive electrode DC terminal of the inverter device; and a negative electrode external terminal that is connected to a negative electrode external power supply wiring for connecting a negative electrode terminal of the battery block of the lowest potential of the battery blocks to a negative electrode DC terminal of the inverter device; positive electrode internal power supply wiring and negative electrode internal power supply wiring, the positive electrode internal power supply wiring penetrating a strong current system opening provided in the middle base plate, being routed from the lower chamber to the upper chamber, and connecting the positive electrode terminal of the battery block of the highest potential to the positive electrode external terminal of the junction box, and the negative electrode internal power supply wiring connecting the negative electrode terminal of the battery block of the lowest potential to the negative electrode external terminal of the junction box within the housing; voltage signal wiring that is connected to the positive and negative electrode terminals of the plural cell batteries, penetrates a weak current system opening of the middle base plate, is routed from the lower chamber to the upper chamber, and is connected to the control device within the housing; a first sealing member that seals the strong current system opening provided in the middle base plate and tightly closes the lower chamber from the upper chamber; and a second sealing member that seals the weak current system opening provided in the middle base plate and tightly closes the lower chamber from the upper chamber.
