The two connection terminals 5 include a first connection terminal 5A and a second connection terminal 5B. The two connection terminals 5 are arranged at the first end 6a of the holding member 6. The fixed terminal 7 is disposed at the second end 6b of the holding member 6. The first end portion 6a and the second end portion 6b are end portions of the holding member 6 in the first direction X. That is, the fixed terminals 7 are arranged at positions apart from the two connection terminals 5 in the first direction X. The fixed terminal 7 is disposed between the two female screw portions 56 in the second direction Y. That is, the fixed terminal 7 is arranged between the two female screw portions 56 in a plan view of the substrate 3.
The two connection terminals 5 are arranged along the second direction Y. The first connection terminal 5A is disposed at one end in the second direction Y, and the second connection terminal 5B is disposed at the other end in the second direction Y.

The illustrated intermediate portion 53 is in the shape of a flat plate. The intermediate portion 53 has a tapered shape that gradually narrows in width as it goes toward the first connecting portion 51 along the third direction Z. The side surface of the intermediate portion 53 has a plurality of inclined surfaces 53a. The inclined surface 53a is inclined so as to approach the center line of the intermediate portion 53 as the first connecting portion 51 approaches along the third direction Z. A stepped portion 53b is provided at an end of the intermediate portion 53. The step portion 53b is disposed at an end portion of the side surface of the intermediate portion 53 on the second connection portion 52 side.
The bent portion 54 connects the intermediate portion 53 and the second connecting portion 52.

The first connecting portion 51 and the intermediate portion 53 extend in the third direction Z, and the second connecting portion 52 extends in the first direction X. The curved portion 54 has an arcuate curved shape when viewed from the side. The width Wd2 of the bent portion 54 is narrower than the width Wd1 of the intermediate portion 53 and narrower than the width Wd3 of the second connecting portion 52. That is, the bending portion 54 has a smaller rigidity than the intermediate portion 53 and the second connecting portion 52, and is easily elastically deformed.
As shown in fig. 5, the fixed terminal 7 has a base 71 and a protruding portion 72. The fixed terminal 7 is formed of a metal plate. The fixed terminal 7 may have conductivity.

The base 71 has a flat plate shape, extending along the third direction Z. The base 71 has a tapered shape that gradually narrows in width as it goes toward the protruding portion 72 along the third direction Z. The side surface of the base 71 has a plurality of inclined surfaces 71a. The inclined surface 71a is inclined so as to approach the center line of the base 71 as the protruding portion 72 approaches along the third direction Z. A stepped portion 71b is provided at an end of the base portion 71. The step portion 71b is disposed at an end portion of the base portion 71 on the opposite side from the protruding portion 72 side.
The shape of the illustrated protrusion 72 is a flat plate shape or a prismatic shape. The protruding portion 72 is inserted into the through hole of the substrate 3 and soldered to the substrate 3. The fixing terminal 7 fixes the holding member 6 to the substrate 3 by soldering the protruding portion 72 to the substrate 3.
As shown in fig. 3, the first connection portion 51 of the connection terminal 5 and the protruding portion 72 of the fixed terminal 7 protrude from the holding member 6 in the third direction Z. The first connecting portion 51 and the protruding portion 72 protrude toward the first side Z1. The first side Z1 is the substrate 3 side when viewed from the holding member 6. That is, the first connecting portion 51 and the protruding portion 72 protrude from the holding member 6 toward the substrate 3 side.
The second connection portion 52 and the bent portion 54 of the connection terminal 5 protrude from the holding member 6 in the third direction Z. The second connecting portion 52 and the bent portion 54 protrude toward the second side Z2. The second side Z2 is the shunt resistor 4 side when viewed from the holding member 6. That is, the second connecting portion 52 and the bent portion 54 protrude from the holding member 6 toward the shunt resistor 4. The main body 55 and the female screw portion 56 of the second connecting portion 52 face the holding member 6 in the third direction Z. The female screw portion 56 protrudes from the main body 55 toward the holding member 6 in the third direction Z.
The holding member 6 has three leg portions 61, 62, 63 protruding toward the first side Z1. Three legs 61, 62, 63 are supported by the base plate 3. The first leg 61 is disposed on the first end 6a side, and the second leg 62 and the third leg 63 are disposed on the second end 6b side.

The second leg 62 and the third leg 63 are disposed at the corners of the holding member 6. The second leg portion 62 and the third leg portion 63 are arranged so as to sandwich the protruding portion 72 of the fixed terminal 7. In other words, the second leg 62 is disposed on one side of the second direction Y with respect to the protruding portion 72, and the third leg 63 is disposed on the other side of the second direction Y with respect to the protruding portion 72. When the holding member 6 is viewed from the first side Z1, the second leg 62 and the third leg 63 are formed in a substantially L-shape and are bent at right angles. The second leg portion 62 and the third leg portion 63 have a portion extending in the first direction X and a portion extending in the second direction Y, respectively. The distal end surfaces of the second leg portion 62 and the third leg portion 63 are placed on the substrate 3 and supported by the substrate 3.
The holding member 6 has protrusions 64, 65 protruding toward the first side Z1. A protrusion 64 protrudes from the second leg 62 and a protrusion 65 protrudes from the third leg 63. The illustrated projections 64, 65 are cylindrical in shape. The substrate 3 has positioning portions corresponding to the projections 64, 65. The positioning portion is a recess or hole portion formed in the substrate 3. The holding member 6 is positioned with respect to the substrate 3 by inserting the projections 64, 65 into the positioning portions.
As shown in fig. 2, the holding member 6 is placed on the first surface 3a of the substrate 3. The substrate 3 has through holes corresponding to the connection terminals 5 and the fixed terminals 7. The first connection portion 51 of the connection terminal 5 and the protruding portion 72 of the fixed terminal 7 are inserted into the corresponding through hole. The first connecting portion 51 and the protruding portion 72 are fixed to the second surface 3b of the substrate 3 by welding. The first connection portion 51 is connected to the circuit pattern of the substrate 3. The protruding portion 72 is connected to a fixing pad or the like.
Fig. 6 shows the housing 2 in which the connection terminal 5 and the like are housed in predetermined positions. The second connection portion 52 of the connection terminal 5 is exposed at the opening 22 of the housing 2. The shunt resistor 4 is placed in the recess 24 of the case 2 so as to face the opening 22, and is fixed to the case 2 by the screw member 11. The second connection portion 52 of each connection terminal 5 is fastened to the shunt resistor 4 by the screw member 8. The screw member 8 is inserted through the first through hole 41 of the shunt resistor 4 and screwed into the female screw portion 56 of the connection terminal 5.
Fig. 7 shows an X-Z section comprising a threaded part 8 and a connection terminal 5. The section of fig. 7 is a section along the central axis of the threaded member 8. As shown in fig. 7, the first through hole 41 of the shunt resistor 4 faces the female screw portion 56 in the third direction Z. The screw member 8 is screwed into the female screw portion 56, and the main body 55 of the connection terminal 5 is brought into contact with the shunt resistor 4. The screw member 8 has conductivity and can electrically connect the shunt resistor 4 to the second connection portion 52.
The first connection portion 51 of the connection terminal 5 is connected to the substrate 3 by the solder 12 and is fixed to the substrate 3. The intermediate portion 53 protrudes from the first connection portion 51 toward the shunt resistor 4 so as to be orthogonal to the substrate 3. The protruding portion 72 of the fixed terminal 7 is fixed to the substrate 3 by the solder 12. The holding member 6 is mounted on the substrate 3 and fixed to the substrate 3 by solder 12.
Here, when the screw member 8 is screwed into the female screw portion 56, an external force acts on the second connecting portion 52. The connection terminal 5 and the holding member 6 according to the present embodiment can suppress the transmission of the external force to the first connection portion 51. When an external force acts on the second connection portion 52, the bent portion 54 of the connection terminal 5 can be elastically deformed to absorb the external force. When the screw member 8 is inserted into the female screw portion 56 in an inclined posture, the bent portion 54 is elastically deformed, so that the female screw portion 56 can follow the screw member 8.
The holding member 6 is integrally formed with the intermediate portion 53 of the connection terminal 5, and holds the intermediate portion 53. Therefore, the holding member 6 can suppress transmission of the external force acting on the second connection portion 52 to the first connection portion 51. For example, the holding member 6 is supported by the base plate 3, and can support the intermediate portion 53 against the force in the third direction Z.
The holding member 6 is fixed to the substrate 3 via a fixing terminal 7. Therefore, the force received by the holding member 6 is dispersed to the connection portion between the fixed terminal 7 and the substrate 3. The fixed terminals 7 are arranged apart from the intermediate portion 53 of the connection terminal 5 in the first direction X. Therefore, the fixing terminal 7 can stabilize the force and moment of the holding member 6 with respect to the first direction X.
The current detection device 1 of the present embodiment can reduce the influence of external force on the connection portion between the connection terminal 5 and the substrate 3, and can improve the stability of the connection portion. Therefore, the current detection device 1 of the present embodiment can transmit an electric signal from the shunt resistor 4 to the substrate 3 without impairing the accuracy, and can ensure the accuracy of current measurement. In addition, in the current detection device 1 of the present embodiment, the shunt resistor 4 is integrated with the upper surface of the case 2, whereby the reduction of the exclusive area of the device can be achieved.
As described above, the current detection device 1 of the present embodiment includes: a substrate 3 having a current detecting portion 31, a connection terminal 5, a resin holding member 6, a fixing terminal 7, a case 2, and a shunt resistor 4. The connection terminal 5 has a first connection portion 51, an intermediate portion 53, a second connection portion 52, and a bent portion 54. The first connection portion 51 is electrically connected to the substrate 3. The intermediate portion 53 protrudes from the first connection portion 51 so as to be orthogonal to the substrate 3. The second connection portion 52 is electrically connected to the shunt resistor 4. The bent portion 54 connects the second connecting portion 52 with the intermediate portion 53.
The holding member 6 is integrally formed with the intermediate portion 53, holds the intermediate portion 53, and is supported by the substrate 3. The fixed terminal 7 has a base 71 held by the holding member 6 and a protruding portion 72 protruding from the holding member 6. The fixing terminal 7 fixes the holding member 6 to the substrate 3 by soldering the protruding portion 72 to the substrate 3. The housing 2 accommodates the substrate 3, the connection terminals 5, the fixed terminals 7, and the holding member 6. The housing 2 has an opening 22 exposing the second connection portion 52. The shunt resistor 4 is disposed outside the case 2 so as to face the opening 22. The shunt resistor 4 is fastened to the second connecting portion 52 by the screw member 8.
In the current detecting device 1 of the present embodiment, the holding member 6 is integrally formed with the intermediate portion 53 of the connection terminal 5, and therefore the mechanical strength is improved. In addition, since the connection terminal 5 has the bent portion 54 between the intermediate portion 53 and the second connection portion 52, an external force acting on the second connection portion 52 is not easily transmitted to the first connection portion 51. Further, the holding member 6 is firmly fixed to the substrate 3 by the fixing terminals 7. Therefore, the current detection device 1 of the present embodiment can improve the stability of the connection portion of the substrate 3 to the shunt resistor 4. For example, the stability of the soldered portion of the first connection portion 51 and the substrate 3 improves.
The second connection portion 52 of the present embodiment includes: a flat plate-shaped body 55 in contact with the shunt resistor 4; and a cylindrical female screw portion 56 protruding from the main body 55 toward the substrate 3 side. The shunt resistor 4 has a first through hole 41, and the first through hole 41 is opposed to the female screw portion 56. The screw member 8 is inserted into the first through hole 41 and screwed into the female screw portion 56 to fasten the second connecting portion 52 to the shunt resistor 4. In such a structure, an external force generated when the screw member 8 is screwed with the female screw portion 56 is absorbed by the bent portion 54.
The holding member 6 of the present embodiment holds the intermediate portions 53 of the two connection terminals 5. The two female screw portions 56 face the holding member 6. In the planar view of the substrate 3, the fixed terminal 7 is disposed between the two female screw portions 56. Therefore, the fixing terminal 7 can appropriately support the holding member 6 to cope with the external force when the screw member 8 is screwed with each female screw portion 56.
The shape of the curved portion 54 is not limited to the illustrated shape. For example, the bending portion of the bending portion 54 is not limited to one. The bending portion 54 may be bent at 2 or more points.
The shape of the holding member 6 is not limited to the illustrated shape. The holding member 6 may hold a plurality of fixed terminals 7. In this case, the plurality of fixed terminals 7 are soldered to the substrate 3, respectively.
The disclosure of the above embodiments can be performed in appropriate combination.
