Abstract

A connector mating structure includes a male connector and a female connector mated with each other. The female connector includes a mating securing member. In a state where the male connector and the female connector of the connector mating structure are in a mating state and the mating securing member is positioned in a mating securing position, a forward end of a female locking section is positioned between an upper locking protrusion and a protrusion of an upper locking section. In this manner, assembling instability between a male housing, a female housing and the mating securing member in a forward-rearward direction is suppressed. Furthermore, a short circuit spring is in elastic contact with a short circuit release section and thus presses the female housing upward. In this manner, assembling instability between the male housing, the female housing and the mating securing member in an upward-downward direction is suppressed.

Abstract

The purpose of the invention is to facilitate starting a vehicle when a low-voltage battery runs out of charge in the vehicle. The electrical junction box (10) is equipped with a special simple power supply (25). An internal circuit of the electrical junction box (10) supplies the output of the simple power supply (25) as the operating voltage of a DC/DC converter to activate the DC/DC converter when the low voltage battery runs out. When the DC/DC converter is activated, high-voltage power stored in a high-voltage battery on the vehicle can be stepped down and supplied to a circuit on the low-voltage battery side, thereby enabling normal starting operations such as starting the engine. An emergency start mode can be selected by a user's switch operation or by automatic detection of power supply voltage drop.

Abstract

A display device for a vehicle includes a moving speed calculation unit that calculates a moving speed of a pupil based on a position of the pupil detected by a pupil detection unit. In a case in which the moving speed of the pupil is equal to or lower than a threshold, a pupil diameter calculation unit calculates a pupil diameter at a present time based on the pupil at the present time, and outputs the calculated pupil diameter at the present time to a brightness adjustment unit. On the other hand, in a case in which the moving speed of the pupil exceeds the threshold, the pupil diameter calculation unit outputs a pupil diameter calculated at a previous time to the brightness adjustment unit as the pupil diameter at the present time.

Abstract

A vehicle display device includes a display that is mounted on a vehicle and superimposes and displays an image on a real landscape in front with respect to a front windshield, a controller that controls the display, and a position information acquisition unit that acquires a position of a preceding vehicle. The controller calculates a first virtual straight line that connects the position of the preceding vehicle and a position of the vehicle. When the controller determines that the first virtual straight line is along a straight direction of the vehicle, the controller displays a marker image at a position below the preceding vehicle. When the controller determines that the first virtual straight line is inclined with respect to the straight direction, the controller performs display movement control to display the marker image so as to be shifted from the position below the preceding vehicle.

A vehicle charging system includes a main body fixed to a floor part of a vehicle stop space, a slide body slidable in a first direction relative to the main body, a connector unit including arms and a connector to be connected to the vehicle to charge, a first cover that covers the arms from a side of the main body while pivoting in conjunction with pivoting of the arms, a second cover supported by the slide body and disposed on a side opposite to the side of the main body, and third covers supported by the slide body and disposed on both sides of the connector unit in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. When the arms are erected, the second cover and the third covers extend upward in conjunction with the pivoting of the arms, thereby forming a frame that surrounds the arms.

Abstract

A storage battery control device controls a storage battery string including storage batteries connected in series and a bypass circuit configured to switch the storage batteries between a bypass state and a connection state. While causing the bypass circuit to switch the storage batteries between the bypass state and the connection state, a process of charging or discharging the storage batteries is executed to decrease a difference between remaining capacities of the storage batteries until completion of the process. And then, the process is executed while causing the bypass circuit to maintain the storage batteries in the connection state, and when the process is switched from charge to discharge or from discharge to charge, a period where a bypass prevention process of preventing the bypass circuit from switching the storage batteries from the connection state to the bypass state is executed is provided.

Abstract

A storage battery control device controls a power storage system including a plurality of storage battery strings connected in parallel to each other, each of the storage battery strings including a plurality of storage batteries connected in series and a power converter configured to convert an input/output power of the storage battery string. An instruction value of power or current of charge or discharge of the storage batteries string is set, and when the instruction value changes from a current value to a target value, a process of changing the instruction value to the target value by a small amount of change that is less than a difference between the target value and the current value is repeatedly executed until the instruction value reaches the target value.

Abstract

A temperature sensor including a sensor part and a biasing member that is capable of pressing the sensor part. Here, the biasing member includes a pressing part, a biasing part, and a part to be held. The part to be held includes a locking piece that is elastically deformable in an intersecting direction intersecting with the pressing direction, and hooks that are locked by the holding member in a state where movement of the hooks to the other side in the pressing direction is regulated. The biasing member includes a regulating part that regulates movement of the locking piece in the intersecting direction and prevents release of locking between the hooks and the holding member.

Abstract

A wire harness includes an electric wire bundle and a branch wire branching off from the electric wire bundle. The electric wire bundle and the branch wire have a tape wound part, in which a tape having a thickness of 0.24 mm or less and a stretch rate of 200% or more in a longitudinal direction is spirally wound around an outer periphery of a predetermined section in a state where a part of the tape in a width direction is wrapped, and an adhesive material applied to a back surface of the tape fixes the electric wire bundle to the tape and fixes the tape to itself. The electric wire bundle and first and second straight portions of the branch wire are bundled by an annular holding tape. A bent portion of the branch wire is provided in the predetermined section.

Abstract

A wire harness includes a protective member configured to protect an electric wire routed in a vehicle. The protective member is constituted by a protector and a tape. A surrounding of the electric wire is covered with at least one of the protector and the tape of the protective member. A portion where the electric wire is covered with the protector is a place where interference with the electric wire from an external interference member installed in the vehicle is large compared with a portion where the electric wire is covered with the tape. The tape has a protection function equivalent to that in a case where the electric wire is covered with a tube.
