Abstract

A power supply device mounting structure for a power supply device disposed below a seat disposed in a vehicle interior is provided. The power supply device mounting structure includes a plate member and a contact portion. The plate member is disposed between the power supply device and a seat surface portion of the seat and the plate member covers an upper surface of the power supply device. The contact portion is provided at a position facing an edge portion of the plate member and the contact portion comes into contact with the seat surface portion when a load is input from the seat surface portion.

Claims (25)

1. A power supply device mounting structure for a power supply device disposed below a seat disposed in a vehicle interior, the power supply device mounting structure comprising:

a plate member that is disposed between the power supply device and a seat surface portion of the seat and that covers an upper surface of the power supply device and that has an edge portion; and

a contact portion that is provided in the vehicle interior at a rearward side of the edge portion of the plate member and that comes into contact with the seat surface portion when a load is input from the seat surface portion, the edge portion being positioned at the rearward side of the vehicle interior.

2. The power supply device mounting structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the contact portion includes a vertical wall portion that extends in a direction intersecting a lower surface of the seat surface portion.

3. The power supply device mounting structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plate member includes an upper surface portion that faces a lower surface of the seat surface portion, and

wherein the contact portion includes a contact surface portion that is located on an extension line of the upper surface portion as viewed from a lateral side and that faces the lower surface of the seat surface portion.

4. The power supply device mounting structure according to claim 3 ,

wherein the power supply device includes:

a battery that supplies electric power;

a battery cover that covers an upper surface of the battery;

a case that accommodates the battery and is fastened to the battery cover;

an exhaust duct that is connected to an exhaust port of the battery cover and through which air in the case is discharged to an outside of the case; and

an exhaust duct cover that covers an upper surface of the exhaust duct,

wherein the plate member is configured with the exhaust duct cover, and

wherein the contact portion is provided at an end portion of the exhaust duct.

5. The power supply device mounting structure according to claim 4 ,

wherein the power supply device further includes a seal member that is disposed so as to seal a space between the battery cover and the exhaust duct, and

wherein the contact portion extends outward with respect to the seal member.

6. The power supply device mounting structure according to claim 5 ,

wherein the contact portion includes:

a vertical wall portion that extends in a direction intersecting the lower surface of the seat surface portion; and

the contact surface portion that extends outward from the vertical wall portion with respect to the seal member, and

wherein the vertical wall portion is disposed at a position overlapping the seal member as viewed from above.
