Straddle-type electric vehicle, and mounting structure of electric power controller in electric vehicle

摘要

A straddle-type electric vehicle (e.g., electric motorcycle 1) comprising a driving motor and an electric power control unit for controlling electric power supplied from batteries to the driving motor, a case of the electric power control unit is mounted from a location outward of the battery box, and electrode terminals protruding outward from the case are inserted into insertion holes of the battery box. The electrode terminals protruding into inside of the battery box are connected to electrodes of the batteries via electric conductors such as bus bars. In this structure, electric connecting work between the batteries and the electric power control unit can be easily carried out, high-voltage lines can be minimized in length, and the high-voltage lines are not exposed to the outside.

主权项

1. A straddle electric vehicle comprising:
an electric motor for driving the electric vehicle; an electric storage device for storing electric power supplied to the electric motor; and an electric power controller for controlling the electric power supplied from the electric storage device to the electric motor; wherein a case of the electric power controller is mounted from a location outward of an accommodating box of the electric storage device from outward; wherein the case is provided with an electrode terminal connected to an electric circuit inside of the case such that the electrode terminal protrudes outward from the case; and wherein a floor portion or a side wall portion of the accommodating box has an insertion hole into which the electrode terminal is inserted, and the electrode terminal which is inserted into the insertion hole and protrudes into the inside of the accommodating box is connected to an electrode of the electric storage device via an electric conductor.
