Patent Description:
Conventionally, vehicle substructures have been known, each of which includes a high-voltage battery installed between a floor panel and a seat when an electric component such as a battery cannot be accommodated in an engine room or below the floor panel (see <CIT>).

The vehicle substructure described in <CIT> includes a cross member extending in a vehicle width direction so as to be located in front of the electric component, the cross member being attached with a wire harness extending in the vehicle width direction so as to be located between the electric component and the cross member.

A hole penetrating in a vehicle front-rear direction is provided at a center portion of the cross member in the vehicle width direction, in which a connection part between an air-conditioner duct and another air-conditioner duct is disposed.

<CIT> discloses a vehicle comprising a floor panel, a cross member with a hole portion, the cross member extending in a vehicle width direction, a first wire harness attached to the cross member so as to be located above the hole portion, the first wire harness extending in the vehicle width direction, and an electrical equipment installed on the vehicle, the electrical equipment including an electric component.

<CIT> discloses a battery pack for a vehicle which includes a battery, a battery case including a battery tray which contains the battery, and a battery cover which is mounted on the battery tray, a cooling unit provided in an end part of the battery case in a first direction that is a longitudinal direction of the battery case, and configured to supply cooling air into the battery case. An air flow passage is provided above the battery, bulges outward and extends along the first direction, in a center part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction inside the battery case, wherein one end of the air flow passage is connected to the cooling unit, and an electric cable is arranged between the air flow passage and the battery cover in the outward bulging portion, along the first direction, for supplying an electric power of the battery to a motor of the vehicle.

According to the conventional vehicle substructure, since the hole in which the connection part of the duct is provided at the center portion of the cross member in the vehicle width direction, when the wire harness is attached to the cross member, it is necessary to bypass the hole and set a mounting point of the wire harness with respect to the cross member.

For this reason, when the hole is provided below the cross member and the mounting point of the wire harness is set above the hole, a center portion of the wire harness in the vehicle width direction becomes a top of a mountain.

For this reason, when the vehicle receives an impact from the side in the vehicle width direction, the wire harness deforms so as to bend upward. As a result, the impact of deformation of the wire harness may be applied above the floor panel and there is still room for improvement in preventing the impact of deformation of the wire harness from being applied above the floor panel.

The present invention has been implemented focusing on the above-described circumstances and it is an objective of the present invention to provide a vehicle with an electrical equipment capable of preventing, when an impact is applied to the vehicle from the vehicle width direction, the impact caused by deformation of the wire harness from being applied above the floor panel.

According to the present invention, there is provided a vehicle with the features of claim <NUM> comprising an electrical equipment installed on the vehicle, the vehicle including: a cross member with a hole portion, the cross member extending in a vehicle width direction above a floor panel; and a first wire harness attached to the cross member so as to be located above the hole portion, the first wire harness extending in the vehicle width direction, the electrical equipment including: an electric component installed on the floor panel; and a cover member installed on the floor panel so as to cover the electric component, wherein the cover member includes a side wall facing the first wire harness, and a bulging part bulging from a wall surface of the side wall toward the first wire harness, and the bulging part covers the first wire harness from above.

Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent, when an impact is applied to a vehicle from a vehicle width direction, an impact caused by deformation of a wire harness from being applied above a floor panel.

An electrical equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on a vehicle, the vehicle including: a cross member with a hole portion, the cross member extending in a vehicle width direction above a floor panel; and a first wire harness attached to the cross member so as to be located above the hole portion, the first wire harness extending in the vehicle width direction, the electrical equipment including: an electric component installed on the floor panel; and a cover member installed on the floor panel so as to cover the electric component, wherein the cover member includes a side wall facing the first wire harness, and a bulging part bulging from a wall surface of the side wall toward the first wire harness, and the bulging part covers the first wire harness from above.

Thus, with the electrical equipment according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent, when an impact is applied to a vehicle from a vehicle width direction, an impact caused by deformation of a wire harness from being applied above a floor panel.

Hereinafter, an electrical equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to drawings.

In <FIG>, up-down, front-rear and left-right directions are defined such that a front-rear direction of a vehicle on which a battery pack is mounted is the front-rear direction, a left-right direction of the vehicle (vehicle width direction) is the left-right direction and an up-down direction of the vehicle (vehicle height direction) is the up-down direction.

First, a configuration will be described.

In <FIG>, a vehicle <NUM> includes a floor panel <NUM>. A left-side side sill <NUM> is provided at a left end portion of the floor panel <NUM> and the left-side side sill <NUM> extends in the front-rear direction along the floor panel <NUM>. A right-side side sill 3R is provided at a right end portion of the floor panel <NUM> and the right-side side sill 3R extends in the front-rear direction along the floor panel <NUM>.

A floor tunnel <NUM> is provided in a center portion of the floor panel <NUM> in a vehicle width direction and the floor tunnel <NUM> bulges upward from the floor panel <NUM>.

A front-side cross member <NUM> and a rear-side cross member <NUM> are attached between the floor tunnel <NUM> and the left-side side sill <NUM>, and the front-side cross member <NUM> and the rear-side cross member <NUM> extend in the vehicle width direction spaced apart in the front-rear direction.

A front-side cross member <NUM> and a rear-side cross member <NUM> are attached between the floor tunnel <NUM> and the right-side side sill 3R, and the front-side cross member <NUM> and the rear-side cross member <NUM> extend in the vehicle width direction spaced apart in the front-rear direction.

As shown in <FIG>, part of a wire harness <NUM> is attached to the front-side cross member <NUM> and the wire harness <NUM> extends in the vehicle width direction. More specifically, as shown in <FIG>, the wire harness <NUM> extends in the front-rear direction along the right-side side sill 3R, branches from a center portion in a direction in which the right-side side sill 3R extends and extends to the floor tunnel <NUM> along the front-side cross member <NUM>.

The wire harness <NUM> extends in the vehicle width direction from the floor tunnel <NUM> along the front-side cross member <NUM> and then extends in the front-rear direction along the left-side side sill <NUM>. The front-side cross member <NUM> of the present embodiment constitutes a cross member and the wire harness <NUM> constitutes a first wire harness.

As shown in <FIG>, the front-side cross member <NUM> includes a hole portion 5a formed at the center portion in the vehicle width direction. The hole portion 5a is intended to pass a vehicle-mounted component to be installed in the front-rear direction across the front-side cross member <NUM>. For example, a duct of an air conditioner to be installed in front of the front-side cross member <NUM> is passed through the hole portion 5a and the duct to be passed through the hole portion 5a extends behind the front-side cross member <NUM>.

The front-side cross member <NUM> includes a band-shaped member 10A. The band-shaped member 10A is provided above the hole portion 5a and configured to fix the center portion of the wire harness <NUM> in the vehicle width direction to the front-side cross member <NUM>.

The front-side cross member <NUM> includes band-shaped members 10B and 10C. The band-shaped members 10B and 10C are located below the band-shaped member 10A and at left and right end portions of the front-side cross member <NUM> in the vehicle width direction with respect to the band-shaped member 10A and configured to fix the left and right end portions of the wire harness <NUM> to the front-side cross member <NUM>.

That is, the band-shaped member 10B is located on the left end side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the band-shaped member 10A and the band-shaped member 10C is located on the right end side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the band-shaped member 10A.

Here, the center portion of the wire harness <NUM> in the vehicle width direction and the left and right end portions in the vehicle width direction are based on the length of the front-side cross member <NUM> in the vehicle width direction, and mean the center portion of the region of the wire harness <NUM> routed in the vehicle width direction of the front-side cross member <NUM> and the left and right end portions in the vehicle width direction.

The band-shaped member 10A of the present embodiment constitutes a first mounting part, and the band-shaped members 10B and 10C constitute second mounting parts.

As shown in <FIG>, <FIG> and <FIG>, a battery pack <NUM> as an electrical apparatus is installed on an upper surface 2a of the floor panel <NUM> and the battery pack <NUM> is installed in a space between an assistant driver's seat (not shown) and the floor panel <NUM>. Note that the battery pack <NUM> may also be installed in a space between the driver's seat (not shown) and the floor panel <NUM>.

Since the battery pack <NUM> is installed between the assistant driver's seat and the floor panel <NUM>, the battery pack <NUM> can be installed in a vehicle room in a cooler environment than in an engine room, and performance of a battery <NUM>, which will be described later, can be extracted more easily.

In addition to this, it is possible to prevent the space of a baggage compartment from being blocked by the battery pack <NUM>, improve installation performance of the battery pack <NUM>, and moreover eliminate the need for installing the battery pack <NUM> in the engine room, and thus reduce the size of the engine room.

As shown in <FIG>, in a plan view of the vehicle <NUM>, the battery pack <NUM> is located among the left-side side sill <NUM>, the floor tunnel <NUM>, the front-side cross member <NUM> and the rear-side cross member <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the battery pack <NUM> includes the battery <NUM> as an electric component. The battery <NUM> includes a plurality of battery modules (not shown), a battery holder that accommodates the plurality of battery modules and protect the battery modules and a substrate part <NUM> provided on an upper surface of the battery holder.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the battery <NUM> is provided with a plurality of fixing pieces 12A, 12B, 12C and 12D and the fixing pieces 12A, 12B, 12C and 12D protrude outward from the side surface of the battery <NUM> in the vehicle width direction (outward to the left and right).

As shown in <FIG>, the floor panel <NUM> is provided with a bracket <NUM> and the bracket <NUM> is provided with fixing pieces 14A and 14B (see <FIG>).

The fixing pieces 14A and 14B protrude upward from the right end portion of the bracket <NUM> and are located at positions higher than the upper surface 2a of the floor panel <NUM>.

The bracket <NUM> is provided with fixing pieces 14C and 14D (see <FIG>). The fixing pieces 14C and 14D protrude upward from a left end portion of the bracket <NUM> and are located at positions higher than the upper surface 2a of the floor panel <NUM>. The fixing pieces 14A and 14B, and the fixing pieces 14C and 14D are located at the same height position.

The fixing pieces 12A and 12B of the battery <NUM> are fixed to the fixing pieces 14A and 14B with bolts (not shown). The fixing pieces 12C and 12D of the battery <NUM> are fixed to the fixing pieces 14C and 14D with a bolt 51A. The fixing pieces 12A, 12B, 12C and 12D of the present embodiment constitute fixing parts.

Thus, the battery <NUM> is fixed to the floor panel <NUM> via the bracket <NUM>, to be upward away from the floor panel <NUM> by the bracket <NUM>. The fixing pieces 14A, 14B, 14C and 14D of the present embodiment constitute fixed parts.

As shown with virtual lines in <FIG> and <FIG>, terminal parts 13A and 13B are provided on an upper part of a front surface 12a of the battery <NUM>, and the terminal parts 13A and 13B in a plan view of the vehicle <NUM> are installed side by side in the vehicle width direction. The vehicle width direction is a direction L in which the terminal parts 13A and 13B are arranged. Hereinafter, the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts 13A and 13B will be referred to as an arrangement direction L.

The terminal parts 13A and 13B are installed above the fixing pieces 14A, 14B, 14C and 14D, and above a center portion C of the battery <NUM> in the height direction (see <FIG>). Note that the wire harness <NUM> is omitted in <FIG>.

As shown in <FIG>, the terminal parts 13A and 13B are located in front of the front surface 12a of the battery <NUM> and extend in the up-down direction. Note that the terminal parts 13A and 13B have an identical shape and overlap in the vehicle width direction. The terminal part 13A of the present embodiment constitutes a first terminal part and the terminal part 13B constitutes a second terminal part.

As shown in <FIG>, the substrate part <NUM> is provided above the terminal parts 13A and 13B. The substrate part <NUM> is a control substrate configured to detect a remaining capacity of the battery module and control charging/discharging or the like.

As shown in <FIG>, an opening portion 2b is formed on the floor panel <NUM>. The opening portion 2b is located on the floor tunnel <NUM> side with respect to the terminal parts 13A and 13B, and is aligned with the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts in a plan view of the vehicle <NUM>.

The terminal part 13B is installed at a position farther from the opening portion 2b in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts than the terminal part 13A.

As shown in <FIG>, wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> are connected to the battery pack <NUM>. The wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> are introduced into the cover member <NUM> through the opening portion 2b from below the floor panel <NUM>, extends above the floor panel <NUM> (i.e., within the cover member <NUM>) in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts, and are connected to the terminal part 13A and the terminal part 13B via connectors 21C and 22C provided at end portions of the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM>, respectively.

The wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> are routed passing through the floor tunnel <NUM> below the floor panel <NUM> and the other end portion thereof is connected to another electric component such as an auxiliary machine. Thus, electric power of the battery <NUM> is supplied to the other electric component such as an auxiliary machine by the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM>. The wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> of the present embodiment constitute a second wire harness.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the battery pack <NUM> includes a cover member <NUM>. The cover member <NUM> includes a ceiling wall 15A, and a front wall 15B, a rear wall 15C, a left side wall 15D and a right side wall 15E extending downward from the ceiling wall 15A.

The ceiling wall 15A covers above the opening portion 2b, the upper surface of the battery <NUM> and the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> from above. The front wall 15B covers the front surface 12a of the battery <NUM> and the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM>, and the rear wall 15C, the left side wall 15D and the right side wall 15E cover the rear surface, the left side surface and the right side surface of the battery <NUM>.

That is, the opening portion 2b is located inside the front wall 15B, the rear wall 15C, the left side wall 15D and the right side wall 15E, and is covered with the cover member <NUM>. The front wall 15B, the rear wall 15C, the left side wall 15D and the right side wall 15E of the present embodiment constitute side walls.

The front wall 15B of the cover member <NUM> faces the wire harness <NUM> in the front-rear direction, and the wire harness <NUM> is routed along the front wall 15B in the vehicle width direction (see <FIG>).

A bottom end portion 15u of the front wall 15B, the rear wall 15C, the left side wall 15D and the right side wall 15E is close to the floor panel <NUM> and is located at the same height position as the position of an undersurface 12u of the battery <NUM> (see <FIG>). The lengths (heights) of the front wall 15B, the rear wall 15C, the left side wall 15D and the right side wall 15E in the up-down direction are identical.

The front surface 12a of the battery <NUM> of the present embodiment constitutes a side surface of the electric component and the front wall 15B of the cover member <NUM> constitutes a side wall of the cover member.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the cover member <NUM> is provided with covering parts 15F and <NUM>. The covering part 15F protrudes outward (rightward) from the right side wall 15E of the cover member <NUM> and covers the fixing pieces 12A and 12B of the battery <NUM> from above and from the left (see <FIG> and <FIG>).

The covering part <NUM> protrudes outward (leftward) from the left side wall 15D of the cover member <NUM> and covers the fixing pieces 12C and 12D of the battery <NUM> from above and from the left (see <FIG> and <FIG>).

As shown in <FIG>, the front wall 15B of the cover member <NUM> facing the front surface 12a of the battery <NUM> in the front-rear direction is provided with a bulging part <NUM> (see <FIG>, <FIG> and <FIG>).

The bulging part <NUM> is located above the bottom end portion 15u of the front wall 15B and bulges in a direction away from the front surface 12a of the battery <NUM> with respect to the wall surface 15a of the front wall 15B.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, the bulging part <NUM> includes an inclined part 16t. The inclined part 16t is inclined so as to be further away from the front surface 12a of the battery <NUM> as it extends upward from the wall surface 15a of the front wall 15B. In the bulging part <NUM>, a distal end portion 16a in the bulging direction located above the inclined part 16t is furthest forward away from the front surface 12a of the battery <NUM>.

The terminal parts 13A and 13B are located at the same height position as the position of the bulging part <NUM> and face the bulging part <NUM> in the front-rear direction.

The terminal parts 13A and 13B of the present embodiment are located at the same height position as the position of the distal end portion 16a in the bulging direction of the bulging part <NUM> which is furthest forward away from the battery <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, the bulging part <NUM> bulges from the wall surface 15a of the front wall 15B of the cover member <NUM> on the wire harness <NUM> side (toward the wire harness <NUM>) and covers the wire harness <NUM> from above.

The bulging part <NUM> is located above the band-shaped member 10A. As shown in <FIG>, the bulging part <NUM> overlaps the band-shaped member 10A in a plan view of the vehicle <NUM>. In other words, the bulging part <NUM> is provided alongside the band-shaped member 10A in the up-down direction.

Since the terminal part 13B is installed at a position farther from the opening portion 2b than the terminal part 13A in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts, the routing length of the wire harness <NUM> in the cover member <NUM> is longer than the routing length of the wire harness <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, the wire harness <NUM> is installed in a space portion <NUM> formed by the bulging part <NUM> inside the cover member <NUM> and extends in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts along the inclined part 16t.

Inside the cover member <NUM>, the wire harness <NUM> is installed closer to the front surface 12a side of the battery <NUM> than the wire harness <NUM> installed in the space portion <NUM> formed by the bulging part <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, since the battery <NUM> is formed to have a longer length in the vehicle width direction (lateral direction) than a length in the up-down direction (longitudinal direction), the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> are routed inside the cover member <NUM> so as to have a longer routing length in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts than a routing length in the up-down direction.

More specifically, the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> include lower wire harness parts 21A and 22A, and upper wire harness parts 21B and 22B respectively.

The lower wire harness parts 21A and 22A extend above the floor panel <NUM> from the opening portion 2b of the floor panel <NUM>.

The upper wire harness parts 21B and 22B extend in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts from the upper ends 21a and 22a of the lower wire harness parts 21A and 22A, and are connected to the terminal parts 13A and 13B.

In the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> of the present embodiment, the upper wire harness parts 21B and 22B are routed inside the cover member <NUM> so as to be longer than the lower wire harness parts 21A and 22A.

As shown in <FIG>, the bulging part <NUM> is formed to have a length L1 in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts (see <FIG>) longer than a routing length L2 of the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts inside the cover member <NUM>.

The bulging part <NUM> is formed to have a length T1 in the up-down direction longer than a length (height) T2 of the upper wire harness parts 21B and 22B in the up-down direction. The "length T2" of the upper wire harness part 21B or the upper wire harness part 22B in the up-down direction inside the cover member <NUM> is a length (height) from an upper end of the upper wire harness parts 21B and 22B located at the highest position to a bottom end portion of the upper wire harness part 21B or the upper wire harness part 22B located at the lowest position.

As shown in <FIG>, in a side view of the battery <NUM>, that is, when the battery <NUM> is viewed from the vehicle width direction, the bulging part <NUM> is installed at a position that overlaps with the upper wire harness part 22B. That is, the bulging part <NUM> and the upper wire harness part 22B overlap each other in the front-rear direction.

Note that the lower wire harness parts 21A and 22A may be routed so as to be longer than the upper wire harness parts 21B and 22B. In this case, the bulging part <NUM> in the side view of the battery <NUM> may be installed at a position that overlaps with the lower wire harness part 22A.

As shown in <FIG>, a notch portion 12b is formed on the front surface 12a of the battery <NUM> and the notch portion 12b is located below the terminal parts 13A and 13B.

A space portion <NUM> surrounded by the notch portion 12b is formed inside the cover member <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG> and <FIG>, a radiation fin 12c is formed in the notch portion 12b and the radiation fin 12c is installed in the space portion <NUM>.

Next, effects of the battery pack <NUM> of the present embodiment will be described.

The battery pack <NUM> of the present embodiment is installed on the vehicle <NUM>, and the vehicle <NUM> includes the front-side cross member <NUM> with the hole portion 5a, which is installed above the floor panel <NUM> so as to extend in the vehicle width direction, and the wire harness <NUM> attached to the front-side cross member <NUM> so as to be located at a position above the hole portion 5a and extending in the vehicle width direction.

The battery pack <NUM> is provided with the battery <NUM> installed on the floor panel <NUM> and the cover member <NUM> installed on the floor panel <NUM> so as to cover the battery <NUM>.

The cover member <NUM> includes the front wall 15B facing the wire harness <NUM> and the bulging part <NUM> provided on the front wall 15B and bulges from the wall surface 15a of the front wall 15B to the wire harness <NUM> side, and the bulging part <NUM> covers the wire harness <NUM> from above. In other words, in a plan view of the vehicle, the bulging part <NUM> covers at least a part of the wire harness <NUM>.

When an impact is applied to the vehicle <NUM> from the vehicle width direction and the wire harness <NUM> deforms upward toward the floor panel <NUM> (see the wire harness <NUM> in <FIG>), it is possible to cause the wire harness <NUM> to collide with the bulging part <NUM> and prevent the wire harness <NUM> from deforming above the floor panel <NUM>.

This makes it possible to prevent the wire harness <NUM> from colliding with the assistant driver's seat above the floor panel <NUM> and prevent an impact from being applied to the assistant driver's seat.

It is also possible to use the bulging part <NUM> of the cover member <NUM> to prevent the wire harness <NUM> from deforming upward, thereby eliminate the need for providing a new restricting member for restricting upward deformation of the wire harness <NUM>, prevent an increase in the number of parts of the vehicle <NUM> and an increase in manufacturing man-hours and thereby reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle <NUM>.

The battery pack <NUM> of the present embodiment includes the front-side cross member <NUM> provided above the hole portion 5a, the band-shaped member 10A configured to attach the wire harness <NUM> to the front-side cross member <NUM> and the band-shaped members 10B and 10C located below the band-shaped member 10A and configured to attach the wire harness <NUM> to the front-side cross member <NUM>.

When the band-shaped member 10A is provided at the center portion of the front-side cross member <NUM> in the vehicle width direction and the band-shaped members 10B and 10C are provided below the band-shaped member 10A and at left and right end portions of the front-side cross member <NUM> in the vehicle width direction, it is possible to cause, when an impact is applied to the vehicle <NUM> from the vehicle width direction, the wire harness <NUM> to deform so that the center portion of the wire harness <NUM> in the vehicle width direction becomes the top of a mountain and set the wire harness <NUM> so as to collide with the bulging part <NUM>.

This makes it possible to more effectively prevent the wire harness <NUM> from deforming above the floor panel <NUM>. As a result, it is possible to more effectively prevent the wire harness <NUM> from colliding with the assistant driver's seat above the floor panel <NUM> and more effectively prevent an impact from being applied to the assistant driver's seat.

According to the battery pack <NUM> of the present embodiment, the floor panel <NUM> includes the opening portion 2b configured to route the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> from below the floor panel <NUM> into the cover member <NUM>.

The battery <NUM> includes the terminal parts 13A and 13B to which the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> are connected on the front surface 12a facing the front wall 15B of the cover member <NUM>, and the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> are routed to the space portion <NUM> formed by the bulging part <NUM>.

Using the space portion <NUM> formed by the bulging part <NUM> in this way, the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> can be routed into the cover member <NUM>. This makes it possible not only to improve routing performance of the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> but also to route more wire harnesses using the cover member <NUM>.

The terminal part 13A, the terminal part 13B and the opening portion 2b are arranged in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts in a plan view of the vehicle <NUM>, and when the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> pass through the opening portion 2b from below the floor panel <NUM> and extend above the floor panel <NUM> and in the arrangement direction L of the terminal parts, and are connected to the terminal parts 13A and 13B, it is possible to gently bend the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> which become long inside the cover member <NUM> and route them inside the cover member <NUM>.

As a result, it is possible to prevent an excessive load from being applied to the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> and protect the wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM>.

Note that although the terminal parts of the present embodiment are constructed of the terminal parts 13A and 13B, there may be three or more terminal parts. Therefore, three or more wire harnesses may also be routed.

Although the wire harness <NUM> is routed in the space portion <NUM> of the bulging part <NUM>, both wire harnesses <NUM> and <NUM> may be routed in the space portion <NUM> of the bulging part <NUM>.

The electric component is not limited to the battery <NUM> but is applicable to, for example, a DC-DC converter. However, the electric component is not limited to a battery or a DC-DC converter, but it can be any electrical part mounted on the vehicle <NUM>.
