Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A high voltage unit installed in a vehicle includes a high voltage component and a casing that accommodates the high voltage component. The casing includes a side wall provided with a pressure receiving portion that receives impact in a horizontal direction and a planer portion on which the high voltage component is arranged, the planer portion being adjacent to an inner side of the side wall. The high voltage component is arranged on the planer portion with a gap from the side wall provided with the pressure receiving portion. An area corresponding to the gap of the planer portion includes a portion, between the pressure receiving portion and the high voltage component, provided with a brittle portion, and includes a portion, other than the brittle portion, provided with a high strength portion having higher strength than the brittle portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A high voltage unit installed in a vehicle, comprising: a high voltage component; and a casing arranged inside a front compartment of the vehicle that accommodates the high voltage component, wherein the casing includes a side wall provided with a pressure receiving portion that receives impact in a horizontal direction and a planer portion on which the high voltage component is arranged, the planer portion being adjacent to an inner side of the side wall, the high voltage component is arranged on the planer portion with a gap from the side wall provided with the pressure receiving portion, and an area corresponding to the gap of the planer portion includes a portion, between the pressure receiving portion and the high voltage component, provided with a brittle portion, and includes a portion, other than the brittle portion, provided with a high strength portion having higher strength than the brittle portion. 2. The high voltage unit according to claim 1 , wherein the brittle portion is formed with a through hole formed in the planer portion. 3. The high voltage unit according to claim 1 , wherein the planer portion is positioned between upper and lower ends of the side wall. 4. The high voltage unit according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure receiving portion receives impact input in a width direction of the vehicle. 5. The high voltage unit according to claim 1 , wherein the planer portion forms a wall surface of a coolant flow path in which a coolant for cooling the high voltage component flows. 6. The high voltage unit according to claim 2 , wherein the through hole penetrates the planer portion in a vertical direction. 7. The high voltage unit according to claim 5 , wherein the coolant flow path is arranged parallel to the planer portion.
