Fuel cell vehicle
A fuel cell vehicle is provided. The fuel cell vehicle includes a fuel cell, a junction box that is disposed on the fuel cell and includes a first bus bar, a power controller that is disposed at the rear side of the fuel cell and includes a second bus bar, and a fastening part that fastens the first bus bar and the second bus bar in a fastening space to electrically connect the junction box and the power controller to each other. One of the junction box and the power controller includes a tool inlet to allow access to the fastening space from the outside.
FUEL CELL MODULE
A fuel cell module has: a first stacked body including a plurality of unit cells stacked on each other; and a second stacked body including a plurality of magnetic body sheets stacked on each other. The magnetic body sheets includes a coil. The first stacked body is superposed on the second stacked body so as to be electrically connected to the coil. A conductor serving as a part of the coil is embedded in each magnetic body sheet. The conductor has a first end portion and a second end portion exposed from surfaces of each magnetic body sheet on opposite sides from each other. The first end portion of the conductor of one of a set of magnetic body sheets adjacent to each other, among the magnetic body sheets, contacts the second end portion of the conductor of the other of the set of magnetic body sheets.
Support frame for fuel cell and vehicle
A support frame includes a first member, a second member, and a third member each having a surface. The first member is connected to the second member by fitting, and the first member is connected to the third member by fitting. In each of connecting portions, one of members connected to each other is defined as a first connecting member and the other one of the members is defined as a second connecting member. A side end portion of the first connecting member on a side facing the second connecting member is provided with an extending portion. The extending portion has a flat shape, and the extending portion is provided with a fitted portion constituted by a recessed portion. A side end portion of the second connecting member on a side facing the first connecting member is provided with a fitting portion configured to fit in the fitted portion.
Electric apparatus and electric apparatus module
An electric apparatus (air pump), which operates by receiving a power supply from a drive control apparatus (PDU) mounted in a fuel cell vehicle, includes a first connection terminal section configured to directly connect to the drive control apparatus, and a second connection terminal section configured to connect to the drive control apparatus via a cable.

Fuel cell device and vehicle with the same mounted thereon
A fuel cell device that can prevent exposure of a cell stack to the outside of a stack case, and a vehicle with the same mounted thereon. The fuel cell device includes a cell stack, end plates disposed at opposite ends of the cell stack in a stacking direction of fuel cells, and a stack case housing the cell stack and end plates. The stack case has a bottom surface portion, end plate facing portions facing the respective end plates, side surface portions extending in the stacking direction, and mount portions disposed near corner portions between the respective side surface portions and end plate facing portions and on outer walls of the respective side surface portions such that the mount portions are positioned in a pair across the bottom surface portion. The bottom surface portion has rib portions disposed thereon that each extends between a pair of the mount portions.

FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND FUEL CELL VEHICLE
A fuel cell vehicle is equipped with a fuel cell system including a stack case, an auxiliary device case, and a fuel gas pipe. The stack case contains a cell stack body of power generation cells. The auxiliary device case is provided adjacent to one end of the stack case, and contains a fuel cell auxiliary device. The fuel gas pipe is connected to the auxiliary device case, and a fuel gas is supplied into the fuel cell auxiliary device through the fuel gas pipe. The fuel cell system includes a cutout formed by cutting out part of the auxiliary device case, and the fuel gas pipe is disposed in the fuel cell system so as to pass nearby the cutout.
LIQUID HYDROGEN STORAGE SYSTEM
A liquid hydrogen storage system includes: a hydrogen tank that stores liquid hydrogen; a first channel that communicates between the hydrogen tank and outside of a vehicle; a reaction section that causes hydrogen gas flowing through the first channel to react with oxygen for conversion into water and discharges water to the outside of the vehicle through the first channel; and a first safety valve that is provided between the hydrogen tank and the reaction section, and is opened at the time when an internal tank pressure as an internal pressure of the hydrogen tank exceeds a first open reference value, so as to discharge the hydrogen gas in the hydrogen tank to the reaction section.
FUEL CELL SYSTEM
In a fuel cell system, a voltage controller provided on a lateral side of a fuel cell stack and a contactor provided above the fuel cell stack are electrically connected together by bus bars in the form of flat plates. The bus bars are each provided with a displacement absorption structure which enables the voltage controller and the contactor to be displaced closer to each other in a direction in which the fuel cell stack and the voltage controller are arranged.
