[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery support structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a perspective view schematically showing an example of a conventional battery support structure. FIG. 4 is a view showing a case where a battery is bound on a battery carrier provided on a vehicle body by a battery support structure related to FIG. It is a side view.

[0003] 1 is a battery, 2 is a clamp arm having a predetermined length and having bolt holes 3 and 3 at both ends,
On the lower surface of the clamp arm 2, clamps 4, 4 having an L-shaped cross section, which are opposed to each other at a predetermined interval and can hold two corners of the upper portion of the battery 1 from above, are fixed.

[0004] As shown in FIG. 4, the battery 1 is placed on a battery carrier 6 formed on a part of the vehicle body 5, and the upper part of the battery 1 is turned to be clamped by the clamps 4 and 4. The clamp arm 2 is placed on the battery 1 and one end of the clamp arm 2 is fastened to the vehicle body 5 by inserting a bolt 7 into the bolt hole 3 at one end of the clamp arm 2 and screwing it into a bracket 8 provided on the vehicle body 5 side. Then, a J-bolt 9 is inserted into the bolt hole 3 at the other end, a lower end of the J-bolt 9 is hooked on a long hole 10 provided in the battery carrier 6, and a nut 11 is screwed into a top of the J-bolt 9. The battery 1 is tightly bound to the battery carrier 6 by tightening the nut 11.

[0005]

However, in the above-described battery support structure, when the nut 11 is lightly screwed into the top of the J bolt 9 inserted into the bolt hole 3, the J bolt 9 is inserted.
When the user releases the bolt 9, the J-bolt 9, whose lower end is bent into a J shape and whose center of gravity is eccentric, swings as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Hole 1
0, the nut 11 may not be able to be tightened.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and has been described in connection with the swing of the bolt.
Is obtained without the purpose of providing a support structure of a battery that can prevent the occurrence of trouble that non tightening of resulting from the nut to the dynamic.

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object,
In the battery support structure of the present invention,
One clamp that can contact one corner of
The other corner fixed to the portion near the end and at the top of the battery
The other clamp that can come into contact with
Secured clamp arm and one side of battery
A bolt extending along and having a lower end bent upward.

Bolts are inserted into the upper and lower holes formed at one end of the arm.
Of the clamp arm at the top of the bolt.
Screw the nut so that it is on the upper side, and
Bolt the other end of the
Battery that binds and binds battery to battery carrier
In the support structure, the battery contact portion of one clamp
Flan bent from the bottom of the minute to the anti-battery side
And a recess is formed in the flange so that a bolt can be fitted therein .

[0008]

In the battery support structure of the present invention, the
Flang that is bent and protrudes from the battery
Insert the middle part of the bolt into the concave part of the screw, and tighten the nut.
Prevents the bolt from swinging at the same time .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view schematically showing an embodiment of a battery support structure according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a clamp related to FIG. 1. In FIG. The description is omitted by attaching the reference numerals.

In this embodiment, a clamp 12 with a flange is provided at the end of the clamp arm 2 through which the J-bolt 9 is inserted, and the same clamp 4 as that shown in the conventional example of FIG. 3 is provided at the other end. Provided.

The flanged clamp 12 extends downward at the longitudinal center of the lower end of the L-shaped clamp body 12a, and bends the extended portion toward the end of the clamp arm 2 so as to be substantially parallel to the clamp arm 2. The flange 13 is formed with a concave portion 14 having a radius adapted to the J-bolt 9 at the end of the flange 13 portion.
4 are formed so as to abut.

As shown in FIG. 1, the battery 1 is placed on a battery carrier 6 formed on a part of the vehicle body 5, and the upper portion of the battery 1 is sandwiched between the clamp 4 and the flanged clamp 12. The clamp arm 2 is placed on the battery 1 so that the clamp 4 is on the side of the bracket 8 provided on the vehicle body 5, and the bolt 7 is inserted into the bolt hole 3 of the clamp arm 2 on the side of the clamp 4, so that the vehicle body 5 side The one end of the clamp arm 2 is fastened to the vehicle body 5 by screwing it into the bracket 8 provided on the vehicle body 5.

Further, the lower end of the J-bolt 9 is inserted into the elongated hole 10 provided in the battery carrier 6 from above, and the side surface of the J-bolt 9 is pressed against the concave portion 14 provided at the tip of the flange 13 of the flanged clamp 12. While J bolt 9
The lower end of the bent J-bolt 9 is hooked on the tip of the elongated hole 10 while the top of the J-bolt 9 is inserted into the bolt hole 3 at the end of the clamp arm 2 from below. Screw the nut 11.

Thereafter, the battery 1 is tightened to the battery carrier 6 by tightening the nut 11.

According to the present embodiment, the flanged clamp 1
A recess 14 is provided at the tip of the second flange 13,
Is inserted through the bolt hole 3 of the clamp arm 2 and hangs down.
Since the bolt 9 is formed so as to be in contact with the side surface of the bolt 9, the J bolt 9 is guided by the recess 14 and does not swing. After the nut 11 is lightly screwed into the top of the J bolt 9, the hand is released from the J bolt 9. However, it is possible to prevent a problem that the lower end of the J bolt 9 does not come off from the long hole 10 of the battery carrier 6 and the nut 11 cannot be tightened.

The present invention is limited to only the above-described embodiment.
It is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0018]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the battery of the present invention
With the support structure of
The bolt fits into the concave part of the flange that protrudes
Then, after lightly screwing the nut to the top of the bolt when tightening the nut, the bolt does not swing even if the hand is released from the bolt, and it is possible to prevent a problem that the nut cannot be tightened. This can provide an excellent effect.
