Protective apparatus for high voltage battery of vehicle
View Patent ↗The present disclosure relates to a protective apparatus for a high voltage battery of a vehicle, the protective apparatus capable of guiding downwards a movement path of a rear roll mounting bracket using a sliding prevention structure disposed in front of a high voltage battery, thereby preventing the damage and breakage of the high voltage battery due to the rear roll mounting bracket.
1. A protective apparatus for a high voltage battery of a vehicle, wherein the apparatus for protecting the high voltage battery mounted on a position below a center floor of the vehicle comprises:
a sliding prevention structure located in front of the high voltage battery, the sliding prevention structure configured to come into contact with a rear roll mounting bracket disposed on a subframe of the vehicle in case of a collision accident, and to restrain the subframe from sliding backwards when coming into contact with the rear roll mounting bracket,
a vehicle body cross member to which the sliding prevention structure is coupled; and
a tunnel reinforcing panel connected to the vehicle body cross member, extending backwards, and coupled with the center floor,
wherein the vehicle body cross member is coupled with a front floor of the vehicle, with left and right ends thereof connected to front side members of the vehicle, respectively.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a portion where the vehicle body cross member and the tunnel reinforcing panel are connected to each other is configured as a closed section having a closed space.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle body cross member includes a plurality of member supports as an integrated structure, the plurality of member supports extending backwards and coupled with the center floor.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sliding prevention structure includes:
a support portion having a box shape connected to the vehicle body cross member and protruding forwards; and
a contact portion having a panel shape coupled with the support portion to cover a front surface of the support portion and coming into contact with the rear roll mounting bracket when the subframe slides backwards due to a collision accident.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a plurality of beads are disposed at a portion where a bottom surface of the support portion and a lower end of the contact portion are connected to each other, such that the plurality of beads extend in a front-to-rear direction, and
wherein the plurality of beads exert a supporting force to restrain the support portion from sliding backwards when the rear roll mounting bracket comes into contact with the contact portion.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein an engraved groove extending in a longitudinal direction is disposed on each of both side surfaces of the support portion, and
wherein when a load greater than the supporting force of the plurality of beads is applied to the contact portion, the engraved groove induces deformation of the support portion so that the support portion slides backwards.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a reinforcement structure of a closed section having a closed space is disposed at a front portion of the high voltage battery, and
wherein the reinforcement structure connects left and right front ends of a battery case.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a front surface of the reinforcement structure is configured to be declined towards a rear of the vehicle so as to induce a downwards movement of the rear roll mounting bracket in case of a collision accident.
9. A protective apparatus for a high voltage battery of a vehicle, wherein the apparatus for protecting the high voltage battery mounted on a position below a center floor of the vehicle comprises:
a sliding prevention structure located in front of the high voltage battery, the sliding prevention structure configured to come into contact with a rear roll mounting bracket disposed on a subframe of the vehicle in case of a collision accident, and to restrain the subframe from sliding backwards when coming into contact with the rear roll mounting bracket; and
a vehicle body cross member to which the sliding prevention structure is coupled,
wherein the vehicle body cross member is coupled with a front floor of the vehicle, with left and right ends thereof connected to front side members of the vehicle, respectively, and
wherein the sliding prevention structure includes:
a support portion having a box shape connected to the vehicle body cross member and protruding forwards; and
a contact portion having a panel shape coupled with the support portion to cover a front surface of the support portion and coming into contact with the rear roll mounting bracket when the subframe slides backwards due to a collision accident.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein a plurality of beads are disposed at a portion where a bottom surface of the support portion and a lower end of the contact portion are connected to each other, such that the plurality of beads extend in a front-to-rear direction, and
wherein the plurality of beads exert a supporting force to restrain the support portion from sliding backwards when the rear roll mounting bracket comes into contact with the contact portion.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein an engraved groove extending in a longitudinal direction is disposed on each of both side surfaces of the support portion, and
wherein when a load greater than the supporting force of the plurality of beads is applied to the contact portion, the engraved groove induces deformation of the support portion so that the support portion slides backwards.
12. A protective apparatus for a high voltage battery of a vehicle, wherein the apparatus for protecting the high voltage battery mounted on a position below a center floor of the vehicle comprises:
a sliding prevention structure located in front of the high voltage battery, the sliding prevention structure configured to come into contact with a rear roll mounting bracket disposed on a subframe of the vehicle in case of a collision accident, and to restrain the subframe from sliding backwards when coming into contact with the rear roll mounting bracket,
wherein a reinforcement structure of a closed section having a closed space is disposed at a front portion of the high voltage battery,
wherein the reinforcement structure connects left and right front ends of a battery case, and
wherein a front surface of the reinforcement structure is configured to be declined towards a rear of the vehicle so as to induce a downwards movement of the rear roll mounting bracket in case of a collision accident.
