A fluid-heating device for heating fluid with a heater includes: a heating portion that is molded so as to cover the surrounding of the heater; and a support body integrally cast into the heating portion, the heating portion being molded in a state in which the heater is supported by the support body in a die for molding the heating portion.

Fluid-heating device and manufacturing method thereof

A fluid-heating device for heating fluid includes: a heater having a heat generating part, the heat generating part being configured to generate heat upon application of current; an electric component configured to control the application of the current to the heater; a tank having an opening portion, the tank being configured to accommodate the heat generating part; a top-plate portion configured to close the opening portion of the tank, the top-plate portion being configured to form a fluid chamber through which the fluid flows; and a first communication port and a second communication port configured to allow the fluid to flow through the fluid chamber; wherein the electric component is provided on an outer side of the fluid chamber along the top-plate portion.

Fluid-heating device

A battery unit, a bottomed case, a plate-shaped cooling plate, and first heat transfer material are included. The cooling plate is fastened to a bottom part of the case from the outside of the case, and can cool the battery unit via the bottom part of the case. The first heat transfer material have a plastic property and are held between the bottom part of the case and the cooling plate. The bottom part of the case has heat transfer material housings that house excess first heat transfer material therein when the cooling plate has been fastened to the case.

Assembled battery

A temperature adjustment device includes a cooling member and a connecting member. The cooling member consists of a first plate and a second plate. The first plate is thermally abutted against a heat-generating member. The second plate is stacked on a lower surface of the first plate to define a cooling space with the first plate, the cooling space a cooling medium flows through, and being configured to include an inlet and an outlet of the cooling medium on a bottom surface facing against the first plate. The connecting member is the connecting member to a temperature adjustment circuit, and that is configured with a tube member having a flat part. The connecting member includes a connecting port connected to the inlet or the outlet on the flat part, and that is laminated and arranged on the second plate such that the flat part is abutted against the second plate.

Temperature adjustment device

A keyless device of a vehicle changes a search area 'A' of a vehicle exterior antenna to a search area 'A' that is smaller than a normal area &#x201c;A&#x201d;, and sets an overlapped area of a search area &#x201c;B&#x201d; of a vehicle exterior antenna and a normal search area &#x201c;B&#x201d; to correspond only to an interior of the vehicle.

Keyless device of vehicle

An operating position select device has a select lever unit, a mode shift unit to shift operation modes of the automatic transmission, and an assist actuator controlled by a control unit. A first connecting member of the select lever and a second connecting member of the mode shift unit are relatively movable to a limit amount to each other and integrally movable beyond the limit amount with each other. The positions of the members are detected by an operating position sensor and an assist position sensor, respectively. The actuator is driven so that a difference between an operating position and an assist position may be reduced, but prohibited from driving when the difference is kept out of a permissible range for a predetermined period during rest of the actuator.
