Abstract

Provided is a power supply device capable of improving workability during assembly and mounting. Accommodating a power source side connector by a cylindrical portion of a case makes a portion where the power source side connector of the harness is provided not pulled out to the outside of the case. Thus the workability at the time of assembling the power feeding device itself can be improved. Also, it is unnecessary to dispose the power source side connector where the passenger unlikely steps on, and simply mating the mating connector with the source side connector makes the workability at the time of mounting the power supply device on the vehicle improved.

Claims (19)

1. A power supply device provided on a vehicle floor for supplying power to a slide body, comprising:

a wire harness for electrically connecting a power source of the vehicle and the slide body; and

a case accommodating the wire harness, wherein

the case includes a base portion and a cover portion, and

the wire harness includes a power source side connector fittable to a mating connector on a power source side end thereof, and wherein

a connector housing accommodating the power source side connector is formed at one end of the base portion,

the power source side connector is arranged fittable to the mating connector in a direction along the vehicle floor as a fitting direction, and wherein

the connector housing has a protection portion covering the power source side connector from above, and

a raising member is placed on an upper support surface of the protection portion, the raising member is configured to be in size such that an upper surface of the cover portion and an upper surface of the raising member lie in the same plane.

2. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein

the connector housing has an opening formed thereon, the opening, by opening in a direction intersecting with the fitting direction, allowing for visibly recognizing the power source side connector.

3. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein

the connector housing includes a cylindrical portion surrounding the power source side connector and extending along the fitting direction, and wherein

the cylindrical portion extends from the power source side connector to an opposite side of the wire harness and has a notch portion in which a part of a cylinder is notch.

4. The power supply device according to claim 2 , wherein

the connector housing includes a cylindrical portion surrounding the power source side connector and extending along the fitting direction, and wherein

the cylindrical portion extends from the power source side connector to an opposite side of the wire harness and has a notch portion in which a part of a cylinder is notch.

5. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein

the case includes a load side lead-out portion and the wire harness exits the case through the load side lead-out portion.
