Abstract

An electric vehicle includes a body frame, a seat disposed on the body frame, a wheel attached to the body frame to be driven by an electric motor, a battery to supply electric power to the electric motor via an inverter and an electrical component, a plate member placed inside a covered space with a top being covered and on which the inverter and the electrical component are mounted, and a guide supported by the body frame to drawably guide the plate member from a position inside the covered space to a position outside the covered space.

Claims (48)

1. An electric vehicle comprising:

a body frame;

a seat disposed on the body frame;

a wheel attached to the body frame to be driven by an electric motor;

a battery to supply electric power to the electric motor via an inverter and an electrical component;

a plate member placed inside a covered space with a top being covered and on which the inverter and the electrical component are mounted; and

a guide supported by the body frame to drawably guide the plate member from a position inside the covered space to a space, which is exposed to an outside, between a front end of the body frame and the seat in a front-and-rear direction, and which is at a position outside the covered space.

2. The electric vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the plate member is placed inside the covered space under the seat to be drawn out to a front side along the front-and-rear direction of the vehicle.

3. The electric vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the electrical component is placed inside an electrical component case, the electrical component case has a charging port on a front side surface in a drawing-out direction, and the electrical component is connected to the battery.

4. The electric vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the battery is disposed on a rear side than the plate member;

the plate member is drawn in front of the battery;

the electrical component is placed inside an electrical component case;

the electrical component case has a connector connected to the electrical component on a rear end; and

the connector is connected to the battery via an electric wire.

5. The electric vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the inverter and the electrical component are disposed in a common case and the case is mounted on the plate member.

6. An electric vehicle comprising:

a body frame;

a seat disposed on the body frame;

a wheel attached to the body frame to be driven by an electric motor;

a battery to supply electric power to the electric motor via an inverter and an electrical component;

a plate member placed inside a covered space with a top being covered and on which the inverter and the electrical component are mounted; and

a guide supported by the body frame to drawably guide the plate member from a position inside the covered space to a position outside the covered space, wherein

the battery is disposed on a rear side of the seat;

the plate member is located between the battery and the seat; and

the plate member is operable to be drawn toward an upper side of the vehicle.

7. An electric vehicle comprising:

a body frame;

a seat disposed on the body frame;

a wheel attached to the body frame to be driven by an electric motor;

a battery to supply electric power to the electric motor via an inverter and an electrical component;

a plate member placed inside a covered space with a top being covered and on which the inverter and the electrical component are mounted; and

a guide supported by the body frame to drawably guide the plate member from a position inside the covered space to a position outside the covered space, wherein

the plate member has a first roller and a second roller that are rotatably attached to both end portions in a direction orthogonal to a drawing-out direction,

the guide includes:

a first guide extending long in the drawing-out direction that has two first plates provided in parallel with each other to sandwich the first roller and a first coupler to couple the two first plates, and a second guide extending long in the drawing-out direction that has two second plates provided in parallel with each other to sandwich the second roller and a second coupler to couple the two second plates.

8. An electric vehicle comprising:

a body frame;

a seat disposed on the body frame;

a wheel attached to the body frame to be driven by an electric motor;

a battery to supply electric power to the electric motor via an inverter and an electrical component;

a plate member placed inside a covered space with a top being covered and on which the inverter and the electrical component are mounted; and

a guide supported by the body frame to drawably guide the plate member from a position inside the covered space to a position outside the covered space, wherein

the battery is disposed in front of the seat covered by a hood, and

the plate member is located inside the covered space under the hood to be drawn out to one side in a front-and-rear direction.
