In a battery pack for an electric vehicle, since a cooling air suction port (48a) is provided in the vicinity of an end part, on the downstream side in a direction of flow of cooling air, of a battery case (24) so as to oppose the direction of flow, cooling air is in full contact with the battery ca
In a battery pack for an electric vehicle, since a cooling air suction port (48a) is provided in the vicinity of an end part, on the downstream side in a direction of flow of cooling air, of a battery case (24) so as to oppose the direction of flow, cooling air is in full contact with the battery case (24) before flowing into the cooling air suction port (48a), and dust or water contained in cooling air can be made to adhere to the battery case (24) and removed, thus preventing dust or water from entering the interior of the battery case (24). In particular, since the battery case (24) includes a projecting portion (39a) that rises on the upstream side in the direction of flow of the cooling air suction port (48a) and disturbs the flow of cooling air, and an upper end of the projecting portion (39a) is at a position higher than that of the cooling air suction port (48a), it is possible to reliably put cooling air in contact with the projecting portion (39a) of the battery case (24), thus enhancing the effect in removing dust or water.

1. A battery pack for an electric vehicle, the battery pack comprising a battery case that houses a plurality of batteries, a cooling air suction port that sucks cooling air into a cooling passage formed in an interior of the battery case, and a cooling air discharge port that discharges cooling air
1. A battery pack for an electric vehicle, the battery pack comprising a battery case that houses a plurality of batteries, a cooling air suction port that sucks cooling air into a cooling passage formed in an interior of the battery case, and a cooling air discharge port that discharges cooling air from the cooling passage, wherein the cooling air suction port is provided in the vicinity of an end part on the downstream side, in a direction of flow of cooling air, on an exterior of the battery case so as to oppose the direction of flow, the battery case comprises a projecting portion that rises on the upstream side in the direction of flow of the cooling air suction port so as to disturb the flow of cooling air, and an upper end of the projecting portion (39a) is at a position higher than an upper end of the cooling air suction port. 2. The battery pack for an electric vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the projecting portion is formed so that a height thereof changes in a stepped manner in going from the upstream side in the direction of flow toward the cooling air suction port. 3. The battery pack for an electric vehicle according to claim 2, wherein the projecting portion is formed so as to be hollow, and a heat generating member is housed in an interior thereof. 4. The battery pack for an electric vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the projecting portion is formed so as to be hollow, and a heat generating member is housed in an interior thereof. 5. A battery pack mounting structure according to claim 1, wherein the battery case is mounted beneath a floor panel of the vehicle, and a cooling air introduction passage for introducing cooling air into the cooling air suction port is formed between the floor panel and the battery case. 6. The battery pack mounting structure according to claim 5, wherein the floor panel comprises a footrest portion that is for an occupant to place his/her feet on, a vertical wall portion that rises upwardly from the footrest portion, and a seat support portion that extends rearwardly from the vertical wall portion and supports a rear seat, and the cooling air introduction passage is formed into a cranked shape between the projecting portion and the footrest portion, vertical wall portion and seat support portion. 7. The battery pack mounting structure according to claim 5, wherein an irregularly shaped portion is formed on the floor panel opposing the projecting portion.
