Abstract
A cooling structure includes battery modules including battery cells, an intake duct allowing cooling air to flow to the battery modules, and a chamber communicating with the intake duct. The chamber is interposed between the adjacent battery modules. The chamber includes a body, sealing members, and a reinforcing rib. The body has a box shape and includes openings at both ends in an arrangement direction of the battery modules, and communicates with each battery module. Each sealing member is disposed at a coupling area. The reinforcing rib is provided in an internal space of the body and coupled to first and second parts of the body apart from each other in a height direction of the body. The reinforcing rib extends between the first and second parts. The body is supported with being held between the battery modules. The cooling air is sent to the battery modules via the chamber.
