- the flanges are provided on the side surfaces 210 and 211 in an inclination direction different from that of the inclined frame 234 or 235 of the protective structure 220. For this reason, even if the inclined frame 234 or 235 is deformed by the impact of a collision or the object P enters without contacting the inclined frame 234 or 235, it contacts the flange itself of the fuel cell unit 201, Reduce the impact. Therefore, the impact on the fuel cell 20 can be mitigated at the water's edge.

次に図2~図10を参照しながら、本実施形態1における燃料電池アセンブリの構成について説明する。
図3に示すように、車両100の底部全面にフロアパネル111が設けられている。車両100の前部において、底部にフロントフレーム114および115が延在して設けられており、車両100前部の骨格構造を形成している。フロントフレーム114および115の最前部には、フロントクロスメンバー110が設けられており、さらに図1で示したラジエータ33が取り付けられている。フロントクロスメンバー110の後側には、フロントサスペンションメンバー112が設けられている。フロントサスペンションメンバー112は、フロントフレーム114および115に締結されている。フロントクロスメンバー110とフロントサスペンションメンバー112とで囲まれた領域には、図1および図2で示した車両走行用モーター94が配置されるようになっている。
なお、上記構成において、フロントサスペンションメンバー112の中央部後側には、切り欠き状の変形促進部113が設けられている。変形促進部113は、車両前方から衝突の衝撃が加わり、フロントサスペンションメンバー112がコンバーターアセンブリ250に当接すると、容易に変形して折れ曲がってエネルギーを吸収する。そのため、それ以上、コンバーターアセンブリ250が後退することを抑制可能になっている。
図4に示すように、車両走行用モータ-94は、取付ゴム131を介して、フロントサスペンションメンバー112に設けられたモーターマウント130に締結されている。車両前方からの衝突の衝撃があると、車両走行用モーター94が後退し、フロントサスペンションメンバー112が後退するような構造になっている。図2でも前述したように、ダッシュボード105の一部であってフロントシート103Rおよび103Lの間に設けられたトンネル部109の内部に、燃料電池アセンブリ200およびコンバーターアセンブリ250が配置されている。サイドロッカーメンバー128および129の前方からはフロントピラー106が立設し、中央部からはセンターピラー107が立設している。リヤロッカーメンバー146の中央部からはリヤピラー108が立設している。図3で前述したように、サイドロッカーメンバー128および129は、第1クロスメンバー126、第2クロスメンバー132、第3クロスメンバー136により、燃料電池アセンブリ200を囲む骨格構造が構成されている。
次いで燃料電池アセンブリ200の構造について詳細に説明する。
図5に、本実施形態1における燃料電池アセンブリ200およびコンバーターアセンブリ250の斜視図を示す。図2~図4に示す車両100には、コンバーターアセンブリ250が前側、燃料電池アセンブリ200が後側になるように設置される。以下の説明において「前側」または「後側」というときには、このような向きに設置された状態を前提としている。
FCコンバーター90には、下側ハウジング252の下面に底面保護プレート262が設けられており、下側ハウジング252の前方傾斜面256に前面保護プレート270が設けられている。底面保護プレート262により、車両100の下側からの衝突(路面干渉)の衝撃からFCコンバーター90を保護可能に構成されている。前面保護プレート270により、車両100前方からの衝突により後退するフロントサスペンションメンバー112からFCコンバーター90を保護可能に構成されている。また、コンバーターアセンブリ250は、底面保護プレート262に設けられた取付部263および取付部265により、図3に示すサブフレーム118および119に締結されるようになっている。
図6に、実施形態1における燃料電池ユニット201の構造を説明する斜視図を示す。図6では、説明を簡単にするために、燃料電池20からの酸化ガスや燃料ガスの供給/排出のための配管類、燃料電池20の発電電力を取り出す端子類の図示を省略してある。
図7に、本実施形態1における保護構造体220の斜視図を示す。図7に示すように、保護構造体220は、上記燃料電池ユニット201が設置されるフレーム構造を有しており、燃料電池ユニット201を取り囲む枠構造体221を有する。枠構造体221の車両後側の2つの角部には、それぞれ柱状部材222が立設している。枠構造体221の車両前側の2つの角部の各々からは、それぞれの柱状部材222の頂部に掛けて、前述した傾斜フレーム234および235が斜めに掛け渡されて設けられている。2つの柱状部材222の頂部の間には、補強フレーム223が掛け渡されている。
図8に、実施形態1における燃料電池アセンブリ200の組み立て説明図を示す。図8に示すように、燃料電池アセンブリ200は、上述した保護構造体220の上面に燃料電池ユニット201が設置され、下面に保護パネル240が設置されて構成される。
図9に、本実施形態1における燃料電池の関連部品の配置説明図を示す。図9は、図3に示す車両の底面図のうち、燃料電池アセンブリ200、コンバーターアセンブリ250、第1燃料ガスタンク42a、および第2燃料ガスタンク42b抽出した図である。
図9の例では、燃料ガス供給路40に破線で囲んだ余長部分Aおよび余長部分Bが形成されている。車両100に横方向から衝突の衝撃が加わったような場合、燃料電池アセンブリ200は一体として移動し、燃料電池ユニット201の関連装置も燃料電池アセンブリ200と共に移動する。一方、第1燃料ガスタンク42aや第2燃料ガスタンク42bは衝突によって少ししか動かない。このため、燃料電池アセンブリ200と上記燃料ガスタンクとの相対距離が変化する。しかしながら、このように相対距離が変化したとしても、本実施形態によれば、燃料ガス供給路40に余長部分Aおよび余長部分Bが形成されているので、相対距離の変化が余長によって吸収される。
図10を参照して、本実施形態1における燃料電池アセンブリ200の機能を説明する。図10(A)は車両100の側面に物体Pが衝突した時の模式図、図10(B)は燃料電池ユニット201の位置まで物体Pが進入してきた時の模式図である。いずれも車両の底面側から観察した図である。保護パネル240の図示は省略してある。
v さらに、本実施形態1の燃料電池ユニット201によれば、その上面212および底面213に起伏形状214が設けられている。このため、起伏形状214が設けられた上面212および底面213の機械的強度が一段と高まるので、仮にフランジを変形させてさらに物体Pが進入してきたとしても、燃料電池ユニット201のハウジング自体の機械的強度により、内部の燃料電池20への衝撃を緩和することができる。
本発明の実施形態2は、燃料電池アセンブリの変形例に関する。
図11に本実施形態2における燃料電池アセンブリ300の斜視図を示す。図12に本実施形態2における燃料電池アセンブリ300の配置を説明する車両側面図を示す。図13に本実施形態2における燃料電池アセンブリ300の配置を説明する車両底面図を示す。
また、本実施形態2によれば、燃料電池20の関連装置が後側構造体320に設置され、冷却液ポンプ35および関連装置が前側構造体330に設置されている。このため、衝突時には、これらの関連装置が保護構造体310と一緒に移動するので、関連装置間の配管等の断線を抑制することが可能である。
本発明は上記実施形態に限定されることなく種々に変形して適用することが可能である。
例えば、上記実施形態1では、保護構造体220の傾斜フレーム234および235を左右幅方向に向く2つの側面に設けたが、これに限られない。側面のうち一方向からの衝突の衝撃に備えればよいなら、衝撃を受ける可能性のある側面にのみ傾斜フレームを設ければよい。逆に、燃料電池ユニット201の前側の側面や後側の側面に傾斜フレームを設けてもよい。
