OCCUPANT PROTECTING DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE

摘要

PURPOSE:To protect occupants in a collision of an electric automobile. CONSTITUTION:An occupant protecting device is provided with an acceleration sensor 10 detecting acceleration of a vehicle, a microcomputer 11 determining whether the vehicle collides or not on the basis of the acceleration detected by the sensor 10, and a breaker 30 which cuts off electric power supply from a driving power source 5 for a motor 1 rotating driving wheels 2 when a collision of the vehicle is determined in the microcomputer 11. In this way, in a collision of the vehicle, electric power with heavy-current and heavy-voltage from the driving power source 5 is immediately cut off, so that occupants can be protected from an electric damage.
