Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An inverter attachment unit including an inverter is attached to a vehicle body. In addition, an auxiliary battery attachment unit including an auxiliary battery is attached to the vehicle body so that the auxiliary battery attachment unit may be adjacent to the inverter attachment unit. When the auxiliary battery attachment unit is attached to the vehicle body, attachment portions by which the inverter attachment unit is attached to the vehicle body are covered with the auxiliary battery attachment unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle structure comprising: a vehicle body member to which a main bracket is attached; an inverter configured to convert direct-current electric power, supplied from an electric power supply unit, into alternating-current electric power; an auxiliary battery connected to the inverter, and configured to supply electric power to the inverter; an inverter attachment unit attached to the main bracket and spaced from the vehicle body member, the inverter mounted on the inverter attachment unit; and an auxiliary battery attachment unit attaching the auxiliary battery to the main bracket, the auxiliary battery positioned between the inverter and the vehicle body member and adjacent to the inverter, wherein a portion of the inverter attachment unit is positioned under the auxiliary battery attachment unit. 2. The vehicle structure according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of attachment portions are formed to attach the inverter attachment unit to the main bracket, and at least one of the plurality of attachment portions is positioned under the auxiliary battery attachment unit. 3. The vehicle structure according to claim 1 , wherein positions of the inverter attachment unit and the auxiliary battery attachment unit only let the auxiliary battery be removed from a vehicle before the inverter is removed.
