Storage system for storing high-voltage battery packs in vehicle
A storage system for a vehicle has a configuration capable of storing a plurality of high-voltage battery packs in a separably assembled state in a seat backboard of the vehicle through a coupling structure of a protrusion and a groove. Only a broken or failed high-voltage battery pack from among a plurality of high-voltage battery packs assembled to the seat backboard is separated from the seat backboard, and a new high-voltage battery pack can then replace the failed high-voltage battery pack through assembly thereof to the seat backboard at a position from which the failed high-voltage battery pack has been separated.
1 . A storage system for a vehicle, the storage system comprising:
a storage device provided in a vehicle seat; and

wherein the first coupler comprises:
a protrusion provided in one surface of the seat backboard, the protrusion configured to protrude from the surface of the seat backboard; and
a groove provided in one surface of the battery pack and configured to receive the protrusion, for assembly therebetween.
2 . The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein, when viewed in an upright state of the seat backboard, the protrusion is formed in a front surface of the seat backboard, and a back surface of the seat backboard takes a form of a flat surface.
3 . The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the protrusion comprises plural protrusions; and
the battery pack comprises plural high-voltage battery packs.
4 . The storage system according to claim 3 , wherein:
the plural protrusions form a particular pattern at the one surface of the seat backboard; and
the plural high-voltage battery packs are assembled to the seat backboard.
5 . The storage system according to claim 3 , wherein a failed one of the plural high-voltage battery packs is configured to be separated from the seat backboard.
6 . The storage system according to claim 5 , wherein only the failed one of the plural high-voltage battery packs is configured to be replaced.
7 . The storage system according to claim 5 , wherein:
the protrusion comprises plural protrusions that form a particular pattern at the one surface of the seat backboard;
the groove comprises at least two grooves formed at each of the plural high-voltage battery packs; and
the plural high-voltage battery packs are assembled to the seat backboard through coupling of the at least two grooves to at least two of the plural protrusions.
8 . The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein the seat backboard provided with the protrusion is formed of a plastic composite material.
9 . The storage system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the battery pack comprises plural high-voltage battery packs assembled to the seat backboard; and
adjacent ones of the plural high-voltage battery packs are assembled to each other in a separable state through a second coupler.
10 . The storage system according to claim 9 , wherein the second coupler is one of an assembly structure of a protrusion and a groove, an assembly structure of a hook and a hook groove, or an assembly structure of a bolt or a screw.
11 . A vehicle comprising the storage system of claim 1 .
12 . A storage system for a vehicle, the storage system comprising:
a storage device comprising a seat backboard provided in a vehicle seat;

wherein the first coupler comprises a protrusion provided in one surface of the seat backboard;
wherein the protrusion comprises plural protrusions; and
wherein the battery pack comprises plural high-voltage battery packs.
13 . The storage system according to claim 12 , wherein:
the plural protrusions form a particular pattern at the one surface of the seat backboard; and
the plural high-voltage battery packs are assembled to the seat backboard.
14 . The storage system according to claim 12 , wherein a failed one of the plural high-voltage battery packs is configured to be separated from the seat backboard.
15 . The storage system according to claim 14 , wherein only the failed one of the plural high-voltage battery packs is configured to be replaced.
16 . A vehicle comprising the storage system of claim 12 .
17 . A storage system for a vehicle, the storage system comprising:
a storage device provided in a vehicle seat; and
a battery pack assembled in the storage device in a separable state;
wherein the storage device comprises a seat backboard provided in the vehicle seat;
wherein the seat backboard and the battery pack are assembled in the separable state through a first coupler; and
wherein the first coupler comprises a plurality of fastening members threadedly fastened to the seat backboard while extending through the battery pack.
