Patent ID: 7631712

Claim:
A mounting structure of electrical equipment on a vehicle, comprising: a casing having at least six faces for storing said electrical equipment, and a holding unit for holding a bottom of said casing on a floor panel of said vehicle, wherein said electrical equipment has a configuration of an approximate rectangular parallelepiped, said casing has a configuration in which a top side of said casing extends further towards the rear of said vehicle than the bottom side, at a rearward position in a longitudinal direction of said vehicle, and said casing has a configuration in which the bottom side of said casing extends further towards the front of said vehicle than the top side, at a frontward position in the longitudinal direction of said vehicle, a cross section of said casing, when viewed from a side of said vehicle, is an approximate parallelogram with a horizontal base, said electrical equipment is stored in said casing such that the bottom of said casing is not parallel to the bottom of said electrical equipment, in the casing where the bottom of said casing is not parallel to the bottom of said electrical equipment, gaps where cooling air for said electrical equipment flows are formed respectively between the upper side of said approximate parallelogram and said electrical equipment and between the lower side of said approximate parallelogram and said electrical equipment, and gaps where ducts for cooling said electrical equipment are provided are formed respectively between said electrical equipment and one of two sides, opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction, of said approximate parallelogram, and between said electrical equipment and the other side of said approximate parallelogram, and said electrical equipment has a terminal for input and output of electric current, and said terminal abuts on said duct.
