Description

本発明は、外部端子を有する蓄電素子と前記外部端子に接続されるバスバとを備える蓄電装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a power storage device including a power storage element having an external terminal and a bus bar connected to the external terminal.

従来から、複数の電池セルを備えた組電池が知られている(特許文献1参照)。具体的に、この組電池は、正極端子及び負極端子からなる電極端子をそれぞれ有する複数の電池セルと、全ての前記電池セルを直列に結線するように電極端子間を接続する複数のバスバと、を備える。   Conventionally, an assembled battery including a plurality of battery cells is known (see Patent Document 1). Specifically, the assembled battery includes a plurality of battery cells each having an electrode terminal composed of a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal, and a plurality of bus bars connecting the electrode terminals so as to connect all the battery cells in series. Is provided.

前記組電池において、電気が流れる経路の一方端に位置する前記電池セルの前記正極端子が接続される前記バスバの端部が該組電池全体の総端子としての正極側端子に相当する。また、前記電気が流れる経路の他方端に位置する前記電池セルの前記負極端子が接続される前記バスバの端部が該組電池全体の総端子としての負極側端子に相当する。   In the assembled battery, an end portion of the bus bar to which the positive electrode terminal of the battery cell located at one end of a path through which electricity flows is connected to a positive electrode side terminal as a total terminal of the entire assembled battery. Further, the end portion of the bus bar to which the negative electrode terminal of the battery cell located at the other end of the path through which electricity flows is connected to a negative electrode side terminal as a total terminal of the entire assembled battery.

以上の組電池では、前記バスバが前記電極端子にレーザー溶接やアーク溶接によって接続(固着)されている。このため、前記電極端子から前記バスバを容易に取り外すことができず、これにより、前記組電池においては、前記正極側端子(正極側の総端子)と前記負極側端子(負極側の総端子)とから電気の入出力が常に可能である。このため、前記組電池では、該組電池が設置等される装置等への取り付け時又は輸送時等の電気の入出力が不要な場合であっても、前記正極側端子と前記負極側端子とから電気の入出力が可能な状態が維持される。   In the above assembled battery, the bus bar is connected (fixed) to the electrode terminal by laser welding or arc welding. For this reason, the bus bar cannot be easily removed from the electrode terminal. Accordingly, in the assembled battery, the positive terminal (positive terminal) and the negative terminal (negative terminal) Electric input / output is always possible. For this reason, in the assembled battery, the positive electrode side terminal and the negative electrode side terminal can be connected to the device where the assembled battery is installed, etc. The state in which electricity can be input and output is maintained.

前記バスバが前記電極端子に対してボルト等によって接続されている場合、該バスバは、前記電極端子から取り外し可能である。しかしながら、前記ボルト等による接続時のトルクが前記電極端子において何度も生じると、前記電池セルの気密性に影響を与える可能性がある。このため、前記電池セルの前記電極端子以外の部分で、前記組電池において前記正極側端子と前記負極側端子とから電気の入出力ができない状態にできることが望まれている。   When the bus bar is connected to the electrode terminal by a bolt or the like, the bus bar can be detached from the electrode terminal. However, if torque at the time of connection by the bolt or the like is generated many times at the electrode terminal, the airtightness of the battery cell may be affected. For this reason, it is desired that the battery cell can be in a state where electricity cannot be input and output from the positive electrode side terminal and the negative electrode side terminal in the assembled battery other than the electrode terminal.

そこで、本実施形態は、電気を入出力できない状態にできる蓄電装置を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present embodiment is to provide a power storage device that can be in a state where electricity cannot be input and output.

本実施形態の蓄電装置は、
外部端子をそれぞれ有し且つ第一方向に並ぶ複数の蓄電素子と、
異なる蓄電素子の前記外部端子同士を導通させるバスバと、を備え、
前記バスバは、少なくとも、前記複数の蓄電素子のうちの所定の蓄電素子の前記外部端子に接続される第一部材と、前記複数の蓄電素子のうちの他の蓄電素子の前記外部端子に接続される第二部材と、を有し、
前記第一部材と前記第二部材とは、直接又は間接に導通して導通経路を形成し、
前記導通経路は、途中を離間又は分断可能に構成されている。
The power storage device of this embodiment is
A plurality of power storage elements each having an external terminal and arranged in the first direction;
A bus bar for connecting the external terminals of different power storage elements, and
The bus bar is connected to at least a first member connected to the external terminal of a predetermined power storage element of the plurality of power storage elements and the external terminal of another power storage element of the plurality of power storage elements. A second member,
The first member and the second member are directly or indirectly conducted to form a conduction path,
The conduction path is configured to be separated or divided along the way.

かかる構成によれば、導通経路の途中を離間又は分断させることで、蓄電装置を電気の入出力できない状態にすることができる。   According to such a configuration, the power storage device can be made in a state where it cannot input and output electricity by separating or dividing the middle of the conduction path.

前記蓄電装置では、
前記第一部材は、前記複数の蓄電素子のうちの所定の蓄電素子の前記外部端子に接続される第一接続部、及び前記第一接続部から延びる第一延設部、を有し、
前記第二部材は、前記複数の蓄電素子のうちの他の蓄電素子の前記外部端子に接続される第二接続部、及び前記第二接続部から延びる第二延設部、を有し、
前記第一延設部は、第一導通面を有し、
前記第二延設部は、前記第一導通面と向き合った状態で該第一導通面に離間可能に重ねられる第二導通面を有してもよい。
In the power storage device,
The first member has a first connection part connected to the external terminal of a predetermined power storage element among the plurality of power storage elements, and a first extending part extending from the first connection part,
The second member has a second connection part connected to the external terminal of another power storage element among the plurality of power storage elements, and a second extension part extending from the second connection part,
The first extending portion has a first conduction surface,
The second extending portion may have a second conduction surface that is detachably superimposed on the first conduction surface in a state of facing the first conduction surface.

かかる構成によれば、第一導通面と第二導通面とが離間可能に重ねられた状態であるため、これら第一導通面と第二導通面とを離間させることによって、蓄電装置を電気の入出力できない状態にすることができる。   According to such a configuration, since the first conduction surface and the second conduction surface are detachably stacked, the power storage device is electrically connected by separating the first conduction surface and the second conduction surface. I / O can be disabled.

この場合、
前記第一導通面及び前記第二導通面のそれぞれは、第一方向を含む平面であってもよい。
in this case,
Each of the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface may be a plane including a first direction.

かかる構成によれば、両導通面が第二方向とそれぞれ直交する平面であるため、バスバによって外部端子同士が接続される蓄電素子の間隔(第一方向の間隔)に製造誤差等が生じても、第一導通面と第二導通面とが面接触した状態で第一方向に相対移動できる。これにより、前記製造誤差等が生じても第一導通面と第二導通面とを確実に導通(面接触)させることができる。   According to such a configuration, since both conductive surfaces are planes orthogonal to the second direction, even if a manufacturing error or the like occurs in the interval (interval in the first direction) between the storage elements to which the external terminals are connected by the bus bar. The first conduction surface and the second conduction surface can be relatively moved in the first direction in a surface contact state. Thereby, even if the said manufacturing error etc. arise, a 1st conduction | electrical_connection surface and a 2nd conduction | electrical_connection surface can be reliably conduct | electrically_connected (a surface contact).

また、前記蓄電装置では、
前記第一延設部及び前記第二延設部のうちの少なくとも一方は、前記第一導通面又は前記第二導通面を含む部位より前記第一接続部に近い位置又は前記第二接続部に近い位置に、曲がっている部位を有してもよい。
In the power storage device,
At least one of the first extension part and the second extension part is closer to the first connection part or to the second connection part than the first conduction surface or the part including the second conduction surface. You may have the site | part bent in the near position.

このように曲がっている部位を有することで、バスバによって外部端子同士が接続される蓄電素子の第一方向の間隔が変化しても、前記曲がっている部位が広がる又はより曲がることで、第一部材及び第二部材における外部端子と接続している部位(第一及び第二接続部)に、前記間隔の変化に起因する応力が集中するのが抑えられる。これにより、第一部材及び第二部材において、前記間隔の変化に起因する損傷が防がれる。   By having such a bent part, even if the interval in the first direction of the power storage element to which the external terminals are connected by the bus bar is changed, the bent part is expanded or more bent, It is possible to suppress the stress caused by the change in the distance from concentrating on the parts (first and second connection portions) connected to the external terminals in the member and the second member. Thereby, the damage resulting from the change of the said space | interval is prevented in a 1st member and a 2nd member.

また、前記蓄電装置では、
第一方向において隣り合う前記蓄電素子の間に配置される隣接部材と、
前記隣接部材に対して取り外し可能に取り付けられる取付部材と、を備え、
前記バスバは、前記隣接部材の第一方向の両側に配置される前記蓄電素子の外部端子同士を接続し、
前記取付部材は、前記第一延設部の前記第一導通面を含む部位である第一導通部位と、前記第二延設部の前記第二導通面を含む部位である第二導通部位とを前記隣接部材に押圧し、
前記第一導通面及び前記第二導通面のそれぞれは、前記取付部材が前記第一導通部位及び前記第二導通部位を前記隣接部材に向けて押圧する方向と交差する平面であってもよい。
In the power storage device,
An adjacent member disposed between the power storage elements adjacent in the first direction;
An attachment member detachably attached to the adjacent member,
The bus bar connects the external terminals of the electricity storage elements arranged on both sides of the adjacent member in the first direction,
The mounting member includes a first conduction part that is a part including the first conduction surface of the first extension part, and a second conduction part that is a part including the second conduction surface of the second extension part. Is pressed against the adjacent member,
Each of the first conduction surface and the second conduction surface may be a plane that intersects the direction in which the mounting member presses the first conduction portion and the second conduction portion toward the adjacent member.

かかる構成によれば、第一導通部位と第二導通部位とが取付部材によって隣接部材に押圧されるため、第一導通面と第二導通面とが互いに押し付けられ、これにより、蓄電装置に振動等が加わっても、第一導通部位と第二導通部位との導通状態を確実に維持できる。   According to such a configuration, the first conduction portion and the second conduction portion are pressed against the adjacent member by the mounting member, so that the first conduction surface and the second conduction surface are pressed against each other, thereby vibrating the power storage device. Even if etc. are added, the conduction | electrical_connection state of a 1st conduction | electrical_connection part and a 2nd conduction | electrical_connection part can be maintained reliably.

前記蓄電装置では、
前記バスバは、前記隣接部材と反対の側から前記第一延設部及び前記第二延設部に対して重ねられる第三部材を有し、
前記隣接部材は、第二方向に前記バスバと重なる位置に雌ねじ部を有し、
前記取付部材は、重なっている状態の前記第一延設部と前記第二延設部と前記第三部材とを該第三部材の側から貫通した状態で前記雌ねじ部にねじ込まれている雄ねじ部を有し、
前記第三部材は、前記雄ねじ部が前記雌ねじ部にねじ込まれるときの回転方向において前記隣接部材と当接する当接部を有してもよい。
In the power storage device,
The bus bar includes a third member that is overlapped with the first extending portion and the second extending portion from the side opposite to the adjacent member,
The adjacent member has a female screw portion at a position overlapping the bus bar in the second direction,
The mounting member is a male screw that is screwed into the female screw portion in a state of passing through the first extending portion, the second extending portion, and the third member in an overlapping state from the side of the third member. Part
The third member may have a contact portion that contacts the adjacent member in a rotation direction when the male screw portion is screwed into the female screw portion.

かかる構成によれば、隣接部材との間に第一部材及び第二部材を挟み込む第三部材が、雄ねじ部の回転方向において隣接部材と当接する当接部を有しているため、雄ねじ部を雌ねじ部にねじ込むときのトルクが第三部材によって第一部材及び第二部材に伝わるのを防ぐことができる。これにより、外部端子に接続されている接続部に前記トルクに起因する応力が加わるのを防ぐことができる。   According to this configuration, since the third member that sandwiches the first member and the second member between the adjacent members has the contact portion that contacts the adjacent member in the rotation direction of the external thread portion, the external thread portion is It is possible to prevent the torque when screwed into the female thread portion from being transmitted to the first member and the second member by the third member. Thereby, it can prevent that the stress resulting from the said torque is added to the connection part connected to the external terminal.

また、前記蓄電装置では、
前記第一導通面と前記第二導通面との間に引き抜き可能に差し込まれている絶縁部材を備えてもよい。
In the power storage device,
You may provide the insulating member inserted so that extraction is possible between said 1st conduction surface and said 2nd conduction surface.

かかる構成によれば、絶縁部材を第一導通面と第二導通面との間に差し込み、又は引き抜くことによって、蓄電装置から電気を入出力ができる状態とできない状態とに切り替えることができる。即ち、絶縁部材が第一導通面と第二導通面との間に差し込まれているときには、第一導通部位と第二導通部位との間の導通が遮断されて蓄電装置が電気を入出力できない状態になる一方、絶縁部材が引き抜かれているときには、第一導通部位と第二導通部位とが導通して(第一導通面と第二導通面とが面接触して)蓄電装置が電気を入出力できる状態になる。   According to this configuration, by inserting or extracting the insulating member between the first conduction surface and the second conduction surface, it is possible to switch between a state where electricity can be input and output from the power storage device and a state where electricity cannot be input. That is, when the insulating member is inserted between the first conduction surface and the second conduction surface, the conduction between the first conduction portion and the second conduction portion is interrupted, and the power storage device cannot input and output electricity. On the other hand, when the insulating member is pulled out, the first conduction portion and the second conduction portion are conducted (the first conduction surface and the second conduction surface are in surface contact), and the power storage device conducts electricity. It will be ready for input / output.

また、前記蓄電装置では、
前記第一延設部は、前記第一導通面の端縁から延びる第一案内部を有し、
前記第二延設部は、前記第二導通面の端縁における前記第一案内部と対応する位置から延びる第二案内部を有し、
前記第一案内部と前記第二案内部との間隔は、前記第一導通面及び前記第二導通面から離れるにつれて大きくなってもよい。
In the power storage device,
The first extending portion has a first guide portion extending from an edge of the first conduction surface,
The second extending portion has a second guide portion extending from a position corresponding to the first guide portion at an edge of the second conduction surface,
The distance between the first guide part and the second guide part may increase as the distance from the first conduction surface and the second conduction surface increases.

かかる構成によれば、第一導通面と第二導通面とが重なっている位置に近づくにつれて第一案内部と第二案内部との間隔が小さくなっているため、第一導通面と第二導通面との間に絶縁部材等の部材を差し込むときに該部材が第一案内部と第二案内部とに案内され、これにより、第一導通面と第二導通面との間に前記部材が差し込みやすくなる。   According to such a configuration, the distance between the first guide portion and the second guide portion decreases as the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface overlap each other, so the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface When a member such as an insulating member is inserted between the conductive surface, the member is guided by the first guide portion and the second guide portion, whereby the member is interposed between the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface. Is easier to insert.

前記蓄電装置では、
第一方向において隣り合う前記蓄電素子の間に配置される隣接部材を備え、
前記バスバは、前記第一部材と前記第二部材とを導通可能に接続する接続部材を有し、前記隣接部材の第一方向の両側に配置される前記蓄電素子の外部端子同士を接続し、
前記接続部材は、前記第一部材及び前記第二部材の少なくとも一方と離間可能に接触していてもよい。
In the power storage device,
An adjacent member disposed between the storage elements adjacent in the first direction,
The bus bar has a connection member that connects the first member and the second member so as to be conductive, and connects the external terminals of the power storage elements arranged on both sides in the first direction of the adjacent member,
The connecting member may be in contact with at least one of the first member and the second member so as to be separable.

かかる構成によれば、接続部材を第一部材及び第二部材の少なくとも一方と離間させることで導通経路が途中で分断されるため、蓄電装置を電気の入出力できない状態にすることができる。   According to such a configuration, since the conduction path is divided in the middle by separating the connection member from at least one of the first member and the second member, the power storage device can be made in a state where electricity cannot be input and output.

I / O can be disabled.

以上のように構成される蓄電装置1では、輸送の際又は該蓄電装置1が搭載された機器等のメンテナンスの際等、電気の入出力が不要な際ときに総端子71から電気の入出力ができないように、絶縁プレート(絶縁部材)が取り付けられる。   In the power storage device 1 configured as described above, when the input / output of electricity is unnecessary, such as during transportation or maintenance of a device or the like on which the power storage device 1 is mounted, the input / output of electricity from the total terminal 71 is performed. Insulating plate (insulating member) is attached so that it is not possible.

絶縁プレートは、絶縁性を有し、第一導通部553の第一導通面553Aと第二導通部563の第二導通面563Aとの間である導通面間に差し込み可能な形状を有する。図11に示すように、本実施形態の絶縁プレート8は、板状の部材である。   The insulating plate is insulative and has a shape that can be inserted between conductive surfaces between the first conductive surface 553A of the first conductive portion 553 and the second conductive surface 563A of the second conductive portion 563. As shown in FIG. 11, the insulating plate 8 of this embodiment is a plate-shaped member.

この絶縁プレート8は、図12に示すように、取付部材6及び第三部材57が取り外された状態で、第一部材55の第一導通面553Aと第二部材56の第二導通面563Aとの間に差し込まれる。これにより、一対の総端子71間を繋ぐ電気経路が第一バスバ51の位置で遮断されるため、蓄電装置1において一対の総端子71から電気の入出力ができない状態となる。   As shown in FIG. 12, the insulating plate 8 includes the first conducting surface 553 </ b> A of the first member 55 and the second conducting surface 563 </ b> A of the second member 56 with the attachment member 6 and the third member 57 removed. Between. As a result, the electrical path connecting the pair of total terminals 71 is blocked at the position of the first bus bar 51, so that the power storage device 1 is in a state where electricity cannot be input / output from the pair of total terminals 71.

一方、蓄電装置1を使用する際には、絶縁プレート8が第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間から引き抜かれ、第三部材57が第一導通部553及び第二導通部563に重ねられた状態で取付部材6の雄ねじ部61がバスバ支持部2112の固定部2113にねじ込まれる(図5参照)。これにより、第一部材55と第二部材56とが導通し、蓄電装置1において一対の総端子71から電気の入出力ができる状態になる。   On the other hand, when the power storage device 1 is used, the insulating plate 8 is pulled out from between the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A, and the third member 57 is the first conductive portion 553 and the second conductive portion 563. The male threaded portion 61 of the attachment member 6 is screwed into the fixing portion 2113 of the bus bar support portion 2112 in a state of being overlaid on (see FIG. 5). Thereby, the first member 55 and the second member 56 are brought into conduction, and the power storage device 1 is in a state where electricity can be input and output from the pair of total terminals 71.

以上の蓄電装置1によれば、第一部材55と第二部材56とが対応する外部端子13にそれぞれ接続(本実施形態の例では、溶接)されているが、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとが離間可能に重ねられた状態であるため、これら第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとを離間させることによって、蓄電装置1を電気の入出力できない状態にすることができる。   According to the power storage device 1 described above, the first member 55 and the second member 56 are respectively connected to the corresponding external terminals 13 (in the example of this embodiment, welded), but the first conduction surface 553A and the first member 55 are connected to each other. Since the two conducting surfaces 563A are in a state of being separated from each other, the first conducting surface 553A and the second conducting surface 563A can be separated from each other to make the power storage device 1 unable to input and output electricity. it can.

本実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一導通面553A及び第二導通面563Aのそれぞれが、Z軸方向と直交する(X軸を含む)平面である。このため、第一バスバ51によって外部端子13同士が接続される蓄電素子10の間隔(X軸方向の間隔)に製造誤差等が生じても、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとが面接触した状態でX軸方向に相対移動できる。このため、前記製造誤差等が生じていても、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとを無理に面接触させることに起因する応力を生じさせることなく、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとを確実に導通(面接触)させることができる。   In the power storage device 1 of the present embodiment, each of the first conduction surface 553A and the second conduction surface 563A is a plane orthogonal to the Z-axis direction (including the X-axis). For this reason, even if a manufacturing error or the like occurs in the interval (interval in the X-axis direction) between the power storage elements 10 to which the external terminals 13 are connected by the first bus bar 51, the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A are Relative movement in the X-axis direction is possible with surface contact. For this reason, even if the manufacturing error or the like occurs, the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A and the second conductive surface 563A do not generate stress due to surface contact. The conduction surface 563A can be reliably conducted (surface contact).

また、本実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一部材55が第一迂回部(曲がっている部位)554を有し、第二部材56が第二迂回部(曲がっている部位)564を有している。このため、第一バスバ51によって外部端子13同士が接続される蓄電素子10のX軸方向の間隔が変化しても、第一迂回部554及び第二迂回部564が広がる又は狭まる(詳しくは、湾曲部5543、5643が伸び縮みして(湾曲部5543、5643の曲率が小さく又は大きくなって)第一起立部5541、5641及び第二起立部5542、5642が広がる又は狭まる)。これにより、第一部材55及び第二部材56における外部端子13と接続されている部位(第一接続部551、第二接続部561及びその周辺)に、前記間隔の変化に起因する応力が集中するのが抑えられる。これにより、第一部材55及び第二部材56において、前記間隔の変化に起因する損傷が防がれる。   Further, in the power storage device 1 of the present embodiment, the first member 55 has a first bypass portion (bent portion) 554, and the second member 56 has a second bypass portion (bent portion) 564. ing. For this reason, even if the space | interval of the X-axis direction of the electrical storage element 10 to which the external terminals 13 are connected by the 1st bus bar 51 changes, the 1st detouring part 554 and the 2nd detouring part 564 expand or narrow (in detail, The curved portions 5543 and 5634 expand and contract (the curvature of the curved portions 5543 and 5634 decreases or increases), and the first upright portions 5541 and 5641 and the second upright portions 5542 and 5642 expand or narrow). Thereby, the stress resulting from the change in the interval is concentrated on the portion (the first connection portion 551, the second connection portion 561 and the periphery thereof) connected to the external terminal 13 in the first member 55 and the second member 56. It is suppressed to do. Thereby, in the 1st member 55 and the 2nd member 56, the damage resulting from the change of the said space | interval is prevented.

また、本実施形態の蓄電装置1では、取付部材6が、第一導通部553と、第二導通部563とを第一隣接部材21(本実施形態の例では、バスバ支持部2112)に押圧している。このため、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとが互いに押し付けられ、これにより、蓄電装置1に振動等が加わっても、第一導通部553と第二導通部563との導通状態が確実に維持される。   Moreover, in the electrical storage apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the attachment member 6 presses the 1st conduction | electrical_connection part 553 and the 2nd conduction | electrical_connection part 563 to the 1st adjacent member 21 (in the example of this embodiment, the bus bar support part 2112). doing. For this reason, even if the 1st conduction surface 553A and the 2nd conduction surface 563A are pressed mutually, and vibration etc. are added to the electrical storage apparatus 1, the conduction state of the 1st conduction part 553 and the 2nd conduction part 563 is carried out. It is reliably maintained.

本実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一隣接部材21との間に第一部材55及び第二部材56を挟み込む第三部材57が、取付部材6の雄ねじ部61の回転方向において第一隣接部材21(詳しくは、バスバ支持部2112における溝2112Aの内面)と当接する当接部572を有している。このため、雄ねじ部61をバスバ支持部2112の固定部(雌ねじ部)2113にねじ込むときのトルクが第三部材57によって第一部材55及び第二部材56に伝わるのを防ぐことができる。これにより、外部端子13に接続されている第一接続部551及び第二接続部561に前記トルクに起因する応力が加わるのを防ぐことができる。   In the power storage device 1 of the present embodiment, the third member 57 that sandwiches the first member 55 and the second member 56 between the first adjacent member 21 is the first adjacent member in the rotation direction of the external thread portion 61 of the mounting member 6. 21 (specifically, a contact portion 572 that contacts the inner surface of the groove 2112A of the bus bar support portion 2112). For this reason, it is possible to prevent the torque when the male screw portion 61 is screwed into the fixing portion (female screw portion) 2113 of the bus bar support portion 2112 from being transmitted to the first member 55 and the second member 56 by the third member 57. Thereby, it can prevent that the stress resulting from the said torque is added to the 1st connection part 551 and the 2nd connection part 561 which are connected to the external terminal 13. FIG.

また、本実施形態の蓄電装置1では、取付部材6の雄ねじ部61が、第一導通部553と第二導通部563と第三部材57(詳しくは、第三部材本体571)とを貫通している。このため、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとが面接触した状態で重なる第一導通部553と第二導通部563とが取付部材6によって第一隣接部材21と第三部材57との間で締め込まれる。これにより、第一導通部553(第一導通面553A)と第二導通部563(第二導通面563A)とがより強固に密着する。   Further, in the power storage device 1 of the present embodiment, the external thread portion 61 of the mounting member 6 passes through the first conducting portion 553, the second conducting portion 563, and the third member 57 (specifically, the third member main body 571). ing. For this reason, the 1st conduction | electrical_connection part 553 and the 2nd conduction | electrical_connection part 563 which overlap with the 1st conduction | electrical_connection surface 553A and the 2nd conduction | electrical_connection surface 563A in the surface contact state are the 1st adjacent member 21 and the 3rd member 57 by the attachment member 6. Tightened between. Thereby, the 1st conduction | electrical_connection part 553 (1st conduction | electrical_connection surface 553A) and the 2nd conduction | electrical_connection part 563 (2nd conduction | electrical_connection surface 563A) adhere more firmly.

また、本実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間に引き抜き可能に差し込まれる絶縁プレート8が用いられる。この絶縁プレート8を第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間に差し込み、又は引き抜くことによって、蓄電装置1において、総端子71から電気を入出力ができる状態とできない状態とに切り替えることができる。即ち、絶縁プレート8が第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間に差し込まれているときには、第一導通部553と第二導通部563との間の導通が遮断されて蓄電装置1が電気を入出力できない状態になる。一方、絶縁プレート8が引き抜かれているときには、第一導通部553と第二導通部563とが導通して(第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとが面接触して)蓄電装置1が電気を入出力できる状態になる。   Moreover, in the electrical storage apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the insulating plate 8 inserted so that extraction is possible between 1st conduction surface 553A and 2nd conduction surface 563A is used. By switching the insulating plate 8 between the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A or pulling it out, the power storage device 1 switches between a state where electricity can be input / output from the total terminal 71 and a state where electricity cannot be input / output. Can do. That is, when the insulating plate 8 is inserted between the first conduction surface 553A and the second conduction surface 563A, the conduction between the first conduction portion 553 and the second conduction portion 563 is interrupted and the power storage device 1 Will not be able to input or output electricity. On the other hand, when the insulating plate 8 is pulled out, the first conducting portion 553 and the second conducting portion 563 are conducted (the first conducting surface 553A and the second conducting surface 563A are in surface contact), and the power storage device 1 Will be able to input and output electricity.

また、本実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一バスバ51において、第一案内部555と第二案内部565との間隔が、第一導通面553A及び第二導通面563Aから離れるに伴って大きくなっている、即ち、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとが重なっている位置に近づくにつれて第一案内部555と第二案内部565との間隔が小さくなっている。このため、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間に絶縁プレート8を差し込むときに、該絶縁プレート8が第一案内部555と第二案内部565とに案内され、これにより、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間に絶縁プレート8が差し込みやすくなる。   Moreover, in the electrical storage apparatus 1 of this embodiment, in the 1st bus bar 51, the space | interval of the 1st guide part 555 and the 2nd guide part 565 becomes large as it leaves | separates from the 1st conduction surface 553A and the 2nd conduction surface 563A. In other words, the distance between the first guide portion 555 and the second guide portion 565 decreases as the position approaches the position where the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A overlap. For this reason, when the insulating plate 8 is inserted between the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A, the insulating plate 8 is guided to the first guide portion 555 and the second guide portion 565, thereby It becomes easy to insert the insulating plate 8 between the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A.

It fixes to the 1st adjacent member 21 with fastening members (or fixing members) 59, such as a volt | bolt, so that the conduction | electrical_connection part 563 may be inserted | pinched. In the example shown in FIG. 15, a region (part) where the first conducting portion 533 and the second conducting portion 563 do not exist between the connecting member 58 and the first adjacent member 21 in the connecting member 58 is a fastening member. 59, as shown in FIG. 16, in the connection member 58, the region where the connection member 58 and the first conduction portion 553 overlap, and the region where the connection member 58 and the second conduction portion 563 overlap. A configuration in which the fastening member 59 penetrates each of them may be used.

また、図15及び図16に示す例では、接続部材58と第一部材55、及び接続部材58と第二部材56とは、厚み方向に重なることによって互いに導通しているが、この構成に限定されない。図17に示すように、接続部材58の端部と第一部材55の端部、及び接続部材58の端部と第二部材56の端部とが接触する(いわゆる突き合わせとなる)ことによって互いに導通してもよい。即ち、接続部材58と第一部材55及び第二部材56とは、導通可能に接触していればよい。   In the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the connecting member 58 and the first member 55 and the connecting member 58 and the second member 56 are electrically connected to each other by overlapping in the thickness direction. Not. As shown in FIG. 17, the end of the connection member 58 and the end of the first member 55, and the end of the connection member 58 and the end of the second member 56 come into contact with each other (so-called butting). You may conduct. In other words, the connection member 58, the first member 55, and the second member 56 only need to be in contact with each other so as to be conductive.

また、蓄電装置1は、例えば、図17の構成において接続部材58を無くした構成、即ち、締結部材59等の導電性を有する部材によって第一部材55の端部と第二部材56の端部とを第一隣接部材21に固定し、この導電性を有する部材によって第一部材55と第二部材56とを導通させる構成であってもよい。   In addition, the power storage device 1 has, for example, a configuration in which the connection member 58 is eliminated in the configuration of FIG. 17, that is, an end portion of the first member 55 and an end portion of the second member 56 by a conductive member such as the fastening member 59. May be fixed to the first adjacent member 21 and the first member 55 and the second member 56 may be electrically connected by the conductive member.

また、図15〜図17に示す例では、接続部材58は、一つの部材であるが、複数の部材(導電性を有する部材)によって構成されていてもよい。   In the example illustrated in FIGS. 15 to 17, the connection member 58 is a single member, but may be configured by a plurality of members (members having conductivity).

上記実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一バスバ51が第一迂回部554及び第二迂回部564を有しているが、この構成に限定されない。第一バスバ51は、迂回部のない構成でもよく、第一迂回部554及び第二迂回部564のいずれか一方のみを有する構成でもよい。   In the power storage device 1 of the above embodiment, the first bus bar 51 includes the first bypass unit 554 and the second bypass unit 564, but is not limited to this configuration. The first bus bar 51 may have a configuration without a detour portion, or may have only one of the first detour portion 554 and the second detour portion 564.

また、バスバ5に設けられる迂回部の具体的な構成は、限定されない。上記実施形態の第一〜第三迂回部554、564、531は、Y軸方向から見てZ軸方向に突出するように迂回して延びているが、例えば、図18に示すように、X軸方向に突出するように迂回して延びる構成等でもよい。また、迂回部は、複数回突出するように迂回して延びる構成でもよい。即ち、迂回部は、1又は複数の屈曲部、湾曲部等を含むことで、バスバ5によって接続される蓄電素子10のX軸方向の間隔が変化したときに、この変化を吸収してバスバ5と外部端子13との接続部位に応力が集中するのを防ぐ構成であればよい。   Moreover, the specific structure of the detour part provided in the bus bar 5 is not limited. The first to third bypass portions 554, 564, and 531 of the above-described embodiment extend in a detour so as to protrude in the Z-axis direction when viewed from the Y-axis direction. For example, as illustrated in FIG. The structure etc. which detour and extend so that it may protrude in an axial direction may be sufficient. Further, the detour portion may be configured to detour and extend so as to protrude a plurality of times. That is, the detour portion includes one or a plurality of bent portions, a curved portion, and the like, so that when the interval in the X-axis direction of the power storage elements 10 connected by the bus bar 5 is changed, this change is absorbed and the bus bar 5 Any structure may be used as long as stress is prevented from concentrating on the connection portion between the external terminal 13 and the external terminal 13.

また、上記実施形態及び上記の他実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一バスバ51及び端部バスバ53Aが第一〜第三部材51〜53、91〜93を有しているが、この構成に限定されない。第一バスバ51及び端部バスバ53Aは、例えば、第一部材55、91及び第二部材56、92のみ、即ち、第三部材57、93のない構成でもよい。かかる構成によっても、取付部材6が配置されることで第一導通面553A、913Aと第二導通面563A、922Aとが互いに押し付けられるため、蓄電装置1に振動等が加わっても、第一部材55、91と第二部材56、92との導通状態を確実に維持できる。   Moreover, in the electrical storage apparatus 1 of the said embodiment and said other embodiment, although the 1st bus bar 51 and the edge part bus bar 53A have the 1st-3rd members 51-53, 91-93, It is not limited. For example, the first bus bar 51 and the end bus bar 53A may have only the first members 55 and 91 and the second members 56 and 92, that is, the configuration without the third members 57 and 93. Even in such a configuration, the first conductive surfaces 553A and 913A and the second conductive surfaces 563A and 922A are pressed against each other by disposing the mounting member 6, so that even if vibration or the like is applied to the power storage device 1, the first member The conduction state between 55 and 91 and the second members 56 and 92 can be reliably maintained.

また、上記実施形態の蓄電装置1では、取付部材6が第一導通部553及び第二導通部563を貫通しているが、この構成に限定されない。取付部材6は、第一導通部553及び第二導通部563を第一隣接部材21に押圧する構成であれば、第一部材55及び第二部材56の他の部位を貫通してもよく、第一部材55及び第二部材56を貫通しなくてもよい。   Moreover, in the electrical storage apparatus 1 of the said embodiment, although the attachment member 6 has penetrated the 1st conduction | electrical_connection part 553 and the 2nd conduction | electrical_connection part 563, it is not limited to this structure. If the attachment member 6 is a structure which presses the 1st conduction | electrical_connection part 553 and the 2nd conduction | electrical_connection part 563 to the 1st adjacent member 21, you may penetrate the other site | part of the 1st member 55 and the 2nd member 56, It is not necessary to penetrate the first member 55 and the second member 56.

上記実施形態の絶縁プレート(絶縁部材)8は、矩形の板状であるが、この構成に限定されない。例えば、図19に示すように、絶縁プレート8Aは、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間である導通面間に差し込み可能な板状の本体81と、本体81から突出する突出部82と、を備える構成でもよい。尚、図19に示す例では、突出部82は、円筒状であるが、この構成に限定されない。突出部82は、中空でなく、中実であってもよい。また、突出部82は、角柱等の他の断面形状を有する柱状でもよい。   Although the insulating plate (insulating member) 8 of the said embodiment is a rectangular plate shape, it is not limited to this structure. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the insulating plate 8 </ b> A includes a plate-like main body 81 that can be inserted between the first conductive surface 553 </ b> A and the second conductive surface 563 </ b> A, and a protrusion that protrudes from the main body 81. The structure provided with the part 82 may be sufficient. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 19, although the protrusion part 82 is cylindrical shape, it is not limited to this structure. The protrusion 82 may not be hollow but may be solid. Further, the projecting portion 82 may have a column shape having another cross-sectional shape such as a prism.

この場合、導通面553A、563A間への差し込み方向における本体81の寸法が、該差し込み方向における第一導通面553Aの寸法及び第二導通面563Aの寸法の少なくとも一方の寸法より大きく、突出部82が、本体81が導通面553A、563A間に差し込まれたときに該本体81における導通面553A、563A間から突き出る部位に配置される。   In this case, the dimension of the main body 81 in the insertion direction between the conduction surfaces 553A and 563A is larger than at least one of the dimension of the first conduction surface 553A and the second conduction surface 563A in the insertion direction, and the protruding portion 82. However, when the main body 81 is inserted between the conductive surfaces 553A and 563A, the main body 81 is disposed at a portion protruding from between the conductive surfaces 553A and 563A.

また、この場合、図20に示すように、蓄電装置1が、バスバ5を保持するバスバプレート100を備え、バスバプレート100は、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとが重なっている位置と対応する位置(図20に示す例では、Y軸方向に重なる位置)に長穴101等を有すると共に、突出部82と係合する係合部102を有する。長穴101は、絶縁プレート8の本体81を挿通可能な大きさであり、係合部102は、絶縁プレート8が長穴101に差し込まれたときに突出部82が所定の大きさ以上の力によって押し込まれることで、該突出部82と係合する。この係合部102の具体的な構成は限定されない。即ち、係合部102は、絶縁プレート8を引き抜き可能に突出部82と係合する構成であればよい。   In this case, as shown in FIG. 20, the power storage device 1 includes a bus bar plate 100 that holds the bus bar 5, and the bus bar plate 100 has a position where the first conductive surface 553 </ b> A and the second conductive surface 563 </ b> A overlap. And a long hole 101 at a position corresponding to (in the example shown in FIG. 20, a position overlapping in the Y-axis direction), and an engaging portion 102 that engages with the protruding portion 82. The long hole 101 has such a size that the body 81 of the insulating plate 8 can be inserted, and the engaging portion 102 has a force that the protrusion 82 has a predetermined size or larger when the insulating plate 8 is inserted into the long hole 101. Is engaged with the protrusion 82. A specific configuration of the engaging portion 102 is not limited. That is, the engaging part 102 should just be the structure engaged with the protrusion part 82 so that the insulation plate 8 can be pulled out.

かかる構成によれば、第一部材55と第二部材56とを有するバスバ5の第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間に本体81を差し込んだときに突出部82を蓄電装置1(具体的には、バスバプレート100の係合部102)に係合させることで、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間から絶縁プレート8の本体81が抜け落ち難くなる。これにより、絶縁プレート8が取り付けられた蓄電装置1に対し、揺れ、振動等が加わっても、蓄電装置1の電気の入出力できない状態を維持することができる。尚、蓄電装置1において絶縁プレート8の突出部82を係合させる部位(部材)は、バスバプレート100に限定されず、蓄電装置1の一部であればよい。即ち、係合部102は、蓄電装置1において、バスバプレート以外の他の部位(部材)に設けられてもよい。   According to this configuration, when the main body 81 is inserted between the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A of the bus bar 5 having the first member 55 and the second member 56, the protruding portion 82 is connected to the power storage device 1. (Specifically, by engaging with the engaging portion 102 of the bus bar plate 100), the main body 81 of the insulating plate 8 is unlikely to fall out between the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A. Thereby, even if shaking, a vibration, etc. are added with respect to the electrical storage apparatus 1 to which the insulating plate 8 was attached, the state which cannot input / output electricity of the electrical storage apparatus 1 can be maintained. Note that the part (member) with which the protruding portion 82 of the insulating plate 8 is engaged in the power storage device 1 is not limited to the bus bar plate 100 and may be a part of the power storage device 1. That is, the engaging portion 102 may be provided in a portion (member) other than the bus bar plate in the power storage device 1.

また、例えば図21及び図22に示すように、絶縁プレート8Bは、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとの間である導通面間に差し込み可能な板状の本体81と、本体81の一方の端部(本体81が導通面553A、563A間に差し込まれた状態においてX軸方向の第一部材55側の端部)から本体81の一方の面側(図22における上方)に延びる第一凸部83と、本体81の他方の端部(本体81が導通面553A、563A間に差し込まれた状態においてX軸方向の第二部材56側の端部)から本体81の他方の面側(図22における下方)に延びる第二凸部84と、を有してもよい。この場合、第一凸部83は、第二導通面563Aを含む第二導通部563の第一部材55側の端面(図22における左端の端面)と該端面と対向する部材(部位)との間を遮るように本体81から延びる。第二凸部84は、第一導通面553Aを含む第一導通部553の第二部材56側の端面(図22における右端の端面)と該端面と対向する部材(部位)との間を遮るように本体81から延びる。ここで、第一凸部83及び第二凸部84は、図21に示す例では板状であるが、この構成に限定されず、例えば図23に示すように、本体81のX軸方向の端部の厚さ寸法を他の部位の厚さ寸法より大きくすること等によって第一凸部83及び第二凸部84を形成してもよい。また、図21に示す絶縁プレート8Bでは、第一凸部83及び第二凸部84は、本体81のX軸方向の端縁の延びる方向(Y軸方向)に連続しているが、この構成に限定されず、第一凸部83及び第二凸部84は、前記端縁の延びる方向に断続であってもよい。   For example, as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the insulating plate 8B includes a plate-like main body 81 that can be inserted between conductive surfaces between the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A, and the main body 81. One end portion (the end portion on the first member 55 side in the X-axis direction when the main body 81 is inserted between the conductive surfaces 553A and 563A) extends from the one surface side (upward in FIG. 22) of the main body 81. The other surface of the main body 81 from the first protrusion 83 and the other end of the main body 81 (the end on the second member 56 side in the X-axis direction when the main body 81 is inserted between the conductive surfaces 553A and 563A) And a second convex portion 84 extending to the side (downward in FIG. 22). In this case, the first protrusion 83 is formed between the end surface (left end surface in FIG. 22) of the second conductive portion 563 including the second conductive surface 563A and the member (part) facing the end surface. It extends from the main body 81 so as to block the gap. The 2nd convex part 84 interrupts | blocks between the end surface (end surface of the right end in FIG. 22) of the 1st conduction | electrical_connection part 553 containing the 1st conduction | electrical_connection surface 553A and the member (part | part) facing this end surface. Extends from the main body 81. Here, the first convex portion 83 and the second convex portion 84 are plate-like in the example shown in FIG. 21, but are not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. You may form the 1st convex part 83 and the 2nd convex part 84 by making the thickness dimension of an edge part larger than the thickness dimension of another site | part. In the insulating plate 8B shown in FIG. 21, the first convex portion 83 and the second convex portion 84 are continuous in the direction in which the edge of the main body 81 extends in the X-axis direction (Y-axis direction). It is not limited to, The 1st convex part 83 and the 2nd convex part 84 may be intermittent in the direction where the said edge extends.

これらの構成によれば、第一部材55と第二部材56とが外部端子13に接続されている蓄電素子10同士の間隔(X軸方向の間隔)が小さくなったときに、第一導通部553の第二部材56側の先端の該先端とX軸方向に対向する部位(図22に示す例では、第一起立部5641)への当接が第二凸部84によって阻害されると共に、第二導通部563の第一部材55側の先端の該先端とX軸方向に対向する部位(図22に示す例では、第二起立部5542)への当接が第一凸部83によって阻害される。これにより、前記蓄電素子10同士の間隔が小さくなっても、第一導通部553が第二部材56に当接することが確実に防がれると共に、第二導通部563が第一部材55に当接することが確実に防がれる。   According to these structures, when the space | interval (space | interval of an X-axis direction) between the electrical storage elements 10 in which the 1st member 55 and the 2nd member 56 are connected to the external terminal 13 becomes small, the 1st conduction | electrical_connection part The second convex portion 84 inhibits contact of the tip of the tip of the second member 56 side of 553 with the tip (in the example shown in FIG. 22, the first standing portion 5641) facing the tip in the X-axis direction. Contact of the tip of the second conducting portion 563 on the first member 55 side with the tip (second rising portion 5542 in the example shown in FIG. 22) facing the tip in the X-axis direction is inhibited by the first convex portion 83. Is done. Accordingly, even when the interval between the power storage elements 10 is reduced, the first conductive portion 553 is reliably prevented from coming into contact with the second member 56, and the second conductive portion 563 contacts the first member 55. The contact is surely prevented.

上記実施形態の蓄電装置1は、端子台7を備えているが、この構成に限定されない。蓄電装置1は、端子台7を備えない構成でもよい。この場合、複数のバスバ5によって直列に接続された複数の蓄電素子10において、電流経路の最も端(正極側の端、及び負極側の端)に位置する外部端子13に接続されたバスバ5が総端子として機能する。   Although the electrical storage apparatus 1 of the said embodiment is equipped with the terminal block 7, it is not limited to this structure. The power storage device 1 may be configured without the terminal block 7. In this case, in the plurality of power storage elements 10 connected in series by the plurality of bus bars 5, the bus bar 5 connected to the external terminal 13 located at the extreme end (the positive side end and the negative side end) of the current path is Functions as a total terminal.

上記実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一導通面553Aと第二導通面563Aとが離間可能に重ねられている第一バスバ51が、第一隣接部材21を介して隣り合う蓄電素子10の外部端子13同士を接続している(導通させている)が、この構成に限定されない。第一バスバ51は、例えば、第二隣接部材22を介して隣り合う蓄電素子10の外部端子13同士を接続してもよい。   In the power storage device 1 of the above embodiment, the first bus bar 51 in which the first conductive surface 553A and the second conductive surface 563A are detachably stacked is outside the adjacent power storage element 10 via the first adjacent member 21. Although the terminals 13 are connected (made conductive), the configuration is not limited to this. For example, the first bus bar 51 may connect the external terminals 13 of the adjacent power storage elements 10 via the second adjacent member 22.

上記実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一バスバ51が、二つの外部端子13を互いに接続している(導通させている)が、この構成に限定されない。第一バスバ51は、三つ以上の外部端子13を互いに接続してもよい。例えば具体的に、第一部材55がX軸方向における第一隣接部材21の一方側において二つ以上の外部端子13に接続されてもよく、第二部材56がX軸方向における第一隣接部材21の他方側において二つ以上の外部端子13に接続されてもよい。   In the power storage device 1 of the above embodiment, the first bus bar 51 connects (conducts) the two external terminals 13 to each other, but is not limited to this configuration. The first bus bar 51 may connect three or more external terminals 13 to each other. For example, specifically, the first member 55 may be connected to two or more external terminals 13 on one side of the first adjacent member 21 in the X-axis direction, and the second member 56 is the first adjacent member in the X-axis direction. The other side of 21 may be connected to two or more external terminals 13.

上記実施形態又は上記の他実施形態の蓄電装置1では、第一導通面553A、913Aと第二導通面563A、922Aとが離間可能に重ねられたバスバ5が、隣接部材2を介して隣り合う蓄電素子10の外部端子13同士、又は隣接部材2を介して隣り合う総端子71と蓄電素子10の外部端子13とを接続しているが、この構成に限定されない。第一導通面553A、913Aと第二導通面563A、922Aとが離間可能に重ねられたバスバ5は、隣接部材2が間に位置することなく隣り合う蓄電素子10の外部端子13同士を接続する(導通させる)構成でもよい。   In the power storage device 1 of the embodiment or the other embodiment described above, the bus bars 5 in which the first conduction surfaces 553A and 913A and the second conduction surfaces 563A and 922A are detachably stacked are adjacent to each other via the adjacent member 2. Although the external terminals 13 of the electricity storage element 10 or the total terminals 71 adjacent to each other via the adjacent member 2 and the external terminal 13 of the electricity storage element 10 are connected, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The bus bar 5 in which the first conductive surfaces 553A and 913A and the second conductive surfaces 563A and 922A are detachably overlapped connects the external terminals 13 of the adjacent power storage elements 10 without the adjacent member 2 positioned therebetween. It may be configured to be conductive.

上記実施形態の蓄電装置1では、バスバ5を蓄電素子10の外部端子13に溶接によって接続(固着)しているが、この構成に限定されない。例えば、蓄電素子10の外部端子をボルトによって構成し(換言すると、ボルト端子型の蓄電素子を用い)、このボルト型の外部端子をバスバ5に貫通させた状態で該外部端子にナットを螺合させることで、バスバ5を外部端子に接続(固定)する構成であってもよい。即ち、バスバ5が、蓄電素子10の外部端子に取り外し可能に固定(接続)されていてもよい。   In the power storage device 1 of the above embodiment, the bus bar 5 is connected (fixed) to the external terminal 13 of the power storage element 10 by welding, but the configuration is not limited thereto. For example, the external terminal of the electricity storage element 10 is constituted by a bolt (in other words, a bolt terminal type electricity storage element is used), and a nut is screwed into the external terminal with the bolt type external terminal passing through the bus bar 5. By doing so, the bus bar 5 may be connected (fixed) to an external terminal. That is, the bus bar 5 may be detachably fixed (connected) to the external terminal of the power storage element 10.
