In battery modules for electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, a plurality of single cells having positive and negative electrode terminals are arranged side by side. In such a battery module, a plurality of single cells are electrically connected by connecting a positive electrode terminal (positive electrode terminal) and a negative electrode terminal (negative electrode terminal) with a bus bar. .
In order to electrically connect a plurality of single cells, for example, a battery wiring module as described in Patent Document 1 is used.

JP 2011-8955 A

  The battery wiring module described in Patent Document 1 includes members such as a bus bar and a voltage detection line, and a protector made of a synthetic resin for holding and housing these members. It is assembled in such a way that it covers the terminal side surface. Here, since a large current flows through the bus bar connecting the electrode terminals when energized, the amount of heat generated from the bus bar is also large. At this time, if the temperature between the unit cell and the battery wiring module becomes high and the temperature becomes high, for example, the protector is softened by the heat and deformed, or the cell performance of the unit cell is adversely affected. There was a fear.

  The present invention has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to prevent heat from being accumulated between the cells.

  The battery wiring module of the present invention is configured to hold a plurality of connecting members that connect adjacent electrode terminals of a plurality of single cells having positive and negative electrode terminals, and a plurality of the connecting members. A protector assembled in a form opposed to the unit cell, a first surface opposed to the unit cell, the unit cell opposed to the unit cell, and the unit cell more than the first surface And a second surface having a ventilation space with the unit cell.

  By doing so, a large amount of current flows through the plurality of connecting members that connect the adjacent electrode terminals of the plurality of single cells with energization, and the amount of heat generated is also large. Even in that case, since the ventilation space is held between the second surface and the single cell, which is relatively larger in distance from the single cell than the first surface, the connection member is provided by this ventilation space. The heat from can be dissipated. By increasing the heat dissipation of the connecting member in this way, it is possible to prevent heat from being accumulated between the unit cells, for example, the protector is deformed by heat, the cell performance of the unit cell is adversely affected, etc. Can be prevented.

As an embodiment of the battery wiring module of the present invention, the following configuration is preferable.
(1) A detection terminal that is superimposed on the connection member and connected to a terminal portion of the electric wire is provided, and the protector includes a connection member holding portion that holds the connection member, and the electric wire connected to the detection terminal. The first surface is formed in the wire passage portion, while the second surface is formed in the connection member holding portion. In this way, since a signal for detection is transmitted to the electric wire connected to the detection terminal, the current value of the flowing current is extremely small compared to the connection member. Therefore, since the calorific value from the said electric wire is also small, it is preferable to form a 1st surface in the electric wire passage part through which an electric wire is passed among protectors. On the other hand, the connection member holding portion that holds the connection member of the protector is formed with a second surface having a ventilation space between the unit cells, thereby generating a large amount of heat generated from the connection member. Can be efficiently diffused.

(2) Continuing from the first surface of the wire passage portion and the second surface of the connection member holding portion, and projecting toward the unit cell from the first surface and the second surface. The reinforcing portion is provided such that the portion connected to the second surface has a relatively larger distance from the unit cell than the portion connected to the first surface. Is formed. If it does in this way, reinforcement of the protector which consists of a wire passage part which has the 1st surface, and a connection member holding part which has the 2nd surface by a reinforcement part can be aimed at. The reinforcing portion protrudes from the first surface and the second surface toward the unit cell side, but the distance between the second cell and the unit cell is more relative to the unit cell than the portion connected to the first surface. Therefore, it is suitable for securing a ventilation space, and sufficient heat dissipation performance can be obtained.

(3) The reinforcing portion is formed in a tapered shape so that a distance from the unit cell increases in a direction approaching the connection member holding portion from the wire passage portion. If it does in this way, since ventilation space becomes so large that it approaches a connection member holding part, heat dissipation performance can be improved more.

(4) A rectifying plate is provided that protrudes at least toward the unit cell from the second surface and sandwiches the ventilation space with the wire passage portion. If it does in this way, a rectification | straightening effect | action can be provided to the air which flows in a ventilation space by the baffle plate which pinches | interposes ventilation space between electric wire passage parts. Thereby, higher heat dissipation performance can be obtained.

(5) The said baffle plate is made into the form extended along the row direction of the said some connection member. If it does in this way, since the air which exists in ventilation space will flow along the arrangement direction of a plurality of connecting members with a current board, a plurality of connecting members can be radiated more efficiently. .

(6) The rectifying plate is configured to protrude to the unit cell side from the first surface. If it does in this way, since the rectification | straightening effect | action given to the air which exists in ventilation space by a baffle plate will become a higher thing, heat dissipation performance can further be improved.

(7) The current plate is integrally formed with the protector. In this way, as compared with the case where the rectifying plate is a separate component from the protector, the positional relationship of the rectifying plate with respect to the second surface is not displaced, so that stable rectifying performance can be obtained. it can.

(8) The protector is provided with a cover that covers the connection member, the detection terminal, and the electric wire by being attached from the side opposite to the unit cell side, and the rectifying plate is provided with the cover Are integrally formed. If it does in this way, since the thing of the existing structure can be diverted as a protector, it becomes suitable for aiming at cost reduction.

(9) The protector holds the connection member, and a plurality of connection member holding portions each having a side wall portion that rises toward the side opposite to the unit cell side communicate with the ventilation space. The side walls are arranged side by side so as to have a communication space, and the side wall is provided with a vent opening that opens into the communication space. In this way, heat from the connecting member is efficiently dissipated into the ventilation space through the ventilation opening provided in the side wall and the communication space, so that the heat dissipation performance can be further improved.

(10) The protector is formed with a ventilation introduction port through which the ventilation from the blower can be introduced into the ventilation space by communicating with the ventilation space. If it does in this way, the temperature which concerns on ventilation space can be adjusted appropriately by ventilating from ventilation apparatus to ventilation space through ventilation introduction port.

  Next, in order to solve the above problem, a battery module temperature adjustment system of the present invention includes the above-described battery wiring module, a plurality of single cells, and a blower capable of blowing air into the ventilation space.

  According to such a battery module temperature adjustment system, the temperature which concerns on a cell and a battery wiring module can be adjusted appropriately by ventilating to ventilation space with an air blower.

As an embodiment of the battery module temperature control system of the present invention, the following configuration is preferable.
(1) The blower can blow at least cool air. If it does in this way, high heat dissipation performance will be obtained by blowing cold air to ventilation space by a blower.

(2) The blower can selectively blow cool air and warm air. In this way, in order to suppress the heat generation of the connecting member, heat is radiated by blowing cool air from the blower to the ventilation space, and when the unit cell is inactivated under a low temperature environment, The cell can be activated by blowing warm air from the blower to the ventilation space.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent heat from being accumulated between the single cells.

(Wire passage part 34)
As shown in FIG. 1, the wire passage portion 34 has a groove shape extending along the arrangement direction (X-axis direction) of the cells 11 in the protector 30, and the electric wires W <b> 1, It is possible to route W2. In the protector 30, a pair of the wire passing portions 34 are arranged so as to be sandwiched between the rows of the intermediate holding portions 33 on the center side in the Y-axis direction and the rows of the bus bar holding portions 32 on both ends. Yes. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the wire passage portion 34 receives the wires W1 and W2 and extends from the bottom wall portion 34a extending along the X-axis direction and both ends of the bottom wall portion 34a in the Y-axis direction. It consists of a pair of side wall portions 34b that rises and extends along the X-axis direction, and has a substantially channel-shaped cross section that is open toward the side opposite to the unit cell 11 side in the Z-axis direction as a whole. Of the pair of side wall portions 34b constituting the wire passage portion 34, a part of the side wall portion 34b closer to (outside) the bus bar holding portion 32 is a wire passage portion 34 in the bus bar holding portion 32 (divided bus bar holding portion 32S). The side wall part 32b (divided side wall part 32bS) closer is also used. In each of the side wall portions 34b of the wire passage portion 34, a barrel holding portion 32e of the bus bar holding portion 32 and a wire passage groove 33b of the intermediate holding portion 33 are formed in a continuous manner. Each electric wire W1, W2 passed through the through groove 33b is accommodated in the electric wire passage portion 34. In addition, from the leading ends of the side wall portions 34b constituting the wire passage portion 34, a wire holding projection 34c for partially holding the wires W1 and W2 in the X axis direction protrudes along the Y axis direction. Is formed. The electric wire holding protrusions 34c are intermittently arranged in the X-axis direction, and the arrangement interval thereof substantially coincides with the arrangement interval of the intermediate holding portion 33 (terminal holding portion 33a).

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the wire wiring module 20 according to the present embodiment has a first surface 36 that faces the unit cell 11, a unit that faces the unit cell 11, and a first surface 36. A distance (interval, gap) between the unit cell 11 and the surface 36 is relatively larger than the surface 36, and a second surface 37 holding the ventilation space S <b> 2 between the unit cell 11 is provided. Specifically, the wire passage portion 34 in the protector 30 is arranged at a position relatively closer to the unit cell 11 than the bus bar holding unit 32 in the assembly direction (Z-axis direction) of the wire wiring module 20 with respect to the unit cell 11. In other words, the bus bar holding part 32 is disposed at a position relatively farther from the unit cell 11 than the electric wire passing part 34. That is, the protector 30 is arranged such that the wire passage part 34 protrudes to a position that is one step lower than the bus bar holding part 32 (the bus bar holding part 32 is arranged to be retracted to a position one step higher than the wire passage part 34). It has an attached structure. Therefore, the outer surface (the surface facing the unit cell 11) in the bottom wall portion 34 a constituting the electric wire passing part 34 is a first surface 36 that is relatively disposed near the unit cell 11. Thus, an outer surface (a surface facing the unit cell 11) in the bottom wall portion 32 a constituting the bus bar holding unit 32 is a second surface 37 that is relatively far from the unit cell 11. In other words, the side wall part 34b of the electric wire passing part 34 is configured to protrude to the unit cell 11 side from the bottom wall part 32a of the bus bar holding part 32, whereby the bottom wall part 32a of the bus bar holding part 32 is formed. A bottom wall portion 34 a having the first surface 36 and continuing to the side wall portion 34 b of the electric wire passing portion 34 has a second surface 37.

  In addition, the electric wire passing part 34 has a height dimension (dimension in the Z-axis direction) that is relatively larger than that of the bus bar holding part 32, and the difference between the first surface 36 and the second surface 37. There is a gap in the positional relationship. The reason why the height of the electric wire passage part 34 is larger than that of the bus bar holding part 32 is that a large number of electric wires W1, W2 are accommodated inside the electric wire passage part 34. As the number of W2s, that is, the number of parallel cells 11 increases, the above-described difference in height dimension tends to increase.

  The ventilation space S2 held between the second surface 37 of the bus bar holding part 32 and the unit cell 11 straddles between the adjacent bus bar holding parts 32 in the X axis direction and extends the protector 30 in the X axis direction over the entire length. It penetrates along and communicates with the outside. By flowing air in the ventilation space S2, heat generated by energization of the bus bar 21 held by the bus bar holding portion 32 can be efficiently dissipated. A pair of ventilation spaces S <b> 2 are arranged in the vicinity of both end positions in the Y-axis direction of the protector 30 corresponding to the arrangement of the bus bar holding portions 32. Note that a communication space S1 held between the bus bar holding portions 32 adjacent to each other in the X-axis direction is communicated with the ventilation space S2, and air flows (goes back and forth) between the communication space S1 and the ventilation space S2. ).

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, reinforcing ribs 38 are provided on the surfaces (including the first surface 36 and the second surface 37) of the connecting units 31 constituting the protector 30 facing the unit cells 11. It protrudes toward the battery 11 side. The reinforcing ribs 38 are formed in the entire range excluding both ends of the connecting unit 31 in the Y-axis direction, that is, in the range extending over the entire intermediate holding part 34 and both electric wire passing parts 33 and part of both bus bar holding parts 32. Yes. Therefore, the reinforcing ribs 38 are arranged in such a manner as to be continuous with the first surface 36 of the wire passing portion 33 and the second surface 37 of the bus bar holding portion 32. The reinforcing rib 38 has a wall shape having a thickness equivalent to each of the side wall portions 32b to 34b of the holding portions 32 and 33 and the wire passing portion 34. Reinforcing ribs 38 extend along the Y-axis direction, and portions arranged across the respective wire passing portions 34 and the adjacent bus bar holding portions 32 extend along the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, respectively. By being connected to the portion disposed in the intermediate holding part 34 while being present, the connection unit 31 in which stress concentration is a concern due to the above-described step structure can be reinforced.

  Of the portions of the reinforcing rib 38 that are arranged across the respective wire passing portions 34 and the adjacent bus bar holding portions 32, the portion that continues to the second surface 37 of the bus bar holding portion 32 is shown in FIG. 7. As shown, the protruding height is lower than the portion of the wire passing portion 34 that is continuous with the first surface 36, and the distance from the unit cell 11 is thereby relatively large. That is, the height of the ventilation space S <b> 2 held between the second surface 37 of the bus bar holding portion 32 and the unit cell 11 is locally narrowed by the reinforcing rib 38 protruding from the second surface 37. However, it can be said that by keeping the protruding height of the reinforcing rib 38 low as described above, the stenosis is kept to the minimum necessary and a sufficient height is secured. In addition, the protruding height of the reinforcing rib 38 gradually decreases in the direction of approaching the bus bar holding portion 32 (second surface 37) from the wire passage portion 34 (first surface 36) in the Y-axis direction. It is tapered (inclined) and has a tapered surface (inclined surface) 38a. Thereby, the distance between the second surface 37 of the bus bar holding part 32 and the unit cell 11, that is, the height dimension of the ventilation space S <b> 2 is continuously increased from the electric wire passing part 34 toward the bus bar holding part 32. It gradually becomes larger (wider). In addition, each reinforcing rib 38 connected to each bus bar holding portion 32 has only one tapered surface 38a and two reinforcing ribs 38a, and the arrangement in the Y-axis direction is different. It is said that. Further, the portion of the reinforcing rib 38 that continues to the intermediate holding portion 33 has substantially the same protruding height as the portion that continues to the wire passing portion 34. Although the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 33a of the intermediate holding portion 33 is relatively slightly larger than the second surface 37 of the bottom wall portion 32a of the bus bar holding portion 32, Since it is narrowed by the above-mentioned reinforcing rib 38, it does not become a space that penetrates the protector 30 along the X-axis direction like the ventilation space S2.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, each connecting unit 31 constituting the protector 30 protrudes toward the unit cell 11 along the Z-axis direction from the second surface 37 and also has a wire passing part 34. The rectifying plate 39 sandwiching the ventilation space S <b> 2 is integrally formed therebetween. The rectifying plate 39 is continuous with the long side portion on the outer end side of the side wall portion 32 b of the bus bar holding portion 32 and the connection wall 35, and is provided over the entire length of each connection unit 31. In a state in which each connecting unit 31 is assembled, each rectifying plate 39 is brought into contact with the X-axis direction almost seamlessly. Therefore, the rectifying plate 39 sandwiches the ventilation space S2 between the protector 30 and the wire passage portion 34 over the entire length in the length direction (X-axis direction). The rectifying plate 39 imparts a rectifying action to the air existing in the ventilation space S2 so as to flow along the X-axis direction, that is, the arrangement direction of the bus bar 21 and the cells 11. The rectifying plate 39 protrudes further to the unit cell 11 side than the first surface 36 of the electric wire passing part 34, and the protruding tip portion reaches a position close to the unit cell 11. This makes it difficult for the air in the ventilation space S2 to leak to the outside of the protector 30 in the Y-axis direction, so that a higher rectifying action is obtained.

  This embodiment has the structure as described above, and the operation thereof will be described subsequently. The battery wiring module 20 assembled by a predetermined procedure is assembled to the group of unit cells 11 arranged in parallel along the X-axis direction. 7, 9, and 11, the battery wiring module 20 is assembled while the first surface 36 and the second surface 37 of the battery wiring module 20 are opposed to the unit cell 11 group. Is pushed along the Z-axis direction so as to approach the unit cell group 11. In this process, the electrode portions 14 for voltage detection are guided by the positioning portions 33e provided in the intermediate holding portions 33, so that the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction with respect to the electrode portions 12-14. Thus, the bus bar 21 (voltage detection terminal 25) and the intermediate voltage detection terminal 26 are positioned.

  When the battery wiring module 20 is pushed to a predetermined height position with respect to the group of unit cells 11, the positive or negative electrode portions 12 and 13 are connected to the bus bar holding portion 32 as shown in FIGS. 8, 10, and 12. The electrode is inserted into the electrode insertion port 32 c and is in contact with the bus bar 21, and the voltage detection electrode unit 14 is in contact with the intermediate voltage detection terminal 26. In this state, the screw holes of the positive or negative electrode portions 12 and 13 are communicated with the through hole 22 of the bus bar 21 and the insertion hole of the voltage detection terminal 25, and the screw hole of the voltage detection electrode portion 14 is an intermediate voltage. Since it is connected to the insertion hole of the detection terminal 26, a bolt is tightened in each screw hole. Thus, in addition to the positive and negative electrode portions 12 and 13 being electrically connected to the bus bar 21, the corresponding electrode portions 12 and 13 and the voltage detection terminal 25 are electrically connected through the bus bar 21, and Is electrically connected to the voltage detecting electrode portion 14 and the intermediate voltage detecting terminal 26. By assembling the battery wiring module 20 to the unit cell 11 group as described above, the assembly of the battery module 10 is completed.

  When the battery module 10 assembled as described above is energized, a large current is supplied to the bus bar 21 to supply power to various electrical components mounted on the vehicle, so that a detection signal is transmitted. Compared to the detection terminals 25 and 26 and the electric wires W1 and W2, the amount of generated heat is larger. If the heat generated from the bus bar 21 is confined between the battery wiring module 20 and the single battery 11 and reaches a high temperature state, the protector 30 made of, for example, a synthetic resin is deformed, or the battery performance of the single battery 11 is deteriorated. Problems may occur. In this regard, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 12, the distance between the protector 30 constituting the battery wiring module 20 and the unit cell 11 is relatively larger than the first surface 36. And since it has the 2nd surface 37 which holds ventilation space S2 between unit cells 11, when heat which exists in this ventilation space S2 flows, the heat emitted from bus bar 21 is generated. Can be dissipated. Thereby, since heat dissipation of the bus bar 21 is enhanced, it becomes difficult for heat to be trapped between the battery wiring module 20 and the single battery 11, so that the protector 30 is deformed by heat or the battery performance of the single battery 11 is deteriorated. It is possible to prevent problems such as

  Moreover, the portion of the reinforcing rib 38 provided on the protector 30 that is connected to the second surface 37 is formed such that the distance from the unit cell 11 is relatively larger than the portion that is connected to the first surface 36. Therefore, while the protector 30 is reinforced by the reinforcing ribs 38, the narrowing of the ventilation space S2 by the reinforcing ribs 38 can be minimized and the area of the ventilation space S2 can be sufficiently secured. The air fluidity in S2 can be sufficiently secured. Furthermore, the air flow space S2 is sandwiched between the electric wire passing part 34 having the first surface 36, and a rectifying plate 39 extending along the arrangement direction (X-axis direction) of the unit cells 11 and the bus bars 21 is provided. Since it did in this way, the rectification | straightening effect | action can be acquired so that the air which exists in the ventilation space S2 of the form pinched | interposed between the baffle plate 39 and the electric wire passage part 34 may flow substantially straight along the X-axis direction. Thereby, the cell 11 and the bus bar 21 can be radiated more efficiently.

  As described above, the battery wiring module 20 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of bus bars that connect adjacent electrode portions 12 and 13 of a plurality of unit cells 11 having positive and negative electrode portions (electrode terminals) 12 and 13. (Connecting member) 21 and a plurality of bus bars 21, a protector 30 assembled in a shape facing the plurality of unit cells 11, and a first facing the unit cell 11. The surface 36 and the unit cell 11 are opposed to each other, the distance between the unit cell 11 is relatively larger than the first surface 36, and the ventilation space S2 is held between the unit cell 11 and the surface 36. A second surface 37.

  In this way, a large amount of current flows through the plurality of bus bars 21 connecting the adjacent electrode portions 12 and 13 of the plurality of single cells 11 with energization, so that the amount of heat generated is also large. Even in that case, the ventilation space S2 is retained between the second surface 37 and the unit cell 11 having a relatively large distance between the unit cell 11 and the first surface 36. The heat from the bus bar 21 can be dissipated by the ventilation space S2. Thus, heat dissipation of the bus bar 21 is improved, so that heat can be prevented from being accumulated between the battery cells 11. For example, the protector 30 is deformed by heat, or the battery performance of the battery cells 11 is adversely affected. It can prevent such a situation.

  Moreover, the voltage detection terminal (detection terminal) 25 overlapped with the bus bar 21 and connected to the terminal portion of the electric wire W <b> 1 is provided, and the protector 30 is connected to the bus bar holding portion 32 that holds the bus bar 21 and the voltage detection terminal 25. And the first surface 36 is formed in the wire passage portion 34, whereas the second surface 37 is in the bus bar holding portion 32. Is formed. In this way, since the detection signal is transmitted to the electric wire W1 connected to the voltage detection terminal 25, the current value of the flowing current is very small compared to the bus bar 21. Therefore, since the calorific value from the said electric wire W1 is also small, it is preferable to form the 1st surface 36 in the electric wire passage part 34 through which the electric wire W1 is passed among the protectors 30. On the other hand, the bus bar holding portion 32 that holds the bus bar 21 in the protector 30 is formed with the second surface 37 that holds the ventilation space S2 with the unit cell 11, thereby generating a large size generated from the bus bar 21. The amount of heat generated can be efficiently dissipated.

  In addition, the reinforcement is continuous with the first surface 36 of the wire passing portion 34 and the second surface 37 of the bus bar holding portion 32 and protrudes from the first surface 36 and the second surface 37 toward the unit cell 11 side. A rib (reinforcing part) 38 is provided, and the reinforcing rib 38 is such that the portion connected to the second surface 37 is relatively closer to the unit cell 11 than the portion connected to the first surface 36. It is formed to be large. In this way, it is possible to reinforce the protector 30 including the wire passing part 34 having the first surface 36 and the bus bar holding part 32 having the second surface 37 by the reinforcing rib 38. Although the reinforcing rib 38 protrudes from the first surface 36 and the second surface 37 toward the unit cell 11, the portion connected to the second surface 37 is more than the portion connected to the first surface 36. Since the distance between the two is relatively large, it is suitable for securing the ventilation space S2, and sufficient heat dissipation performance can be obtained.

  Further, the reinforcing rib 38 is formed in a tapered shape so that the distance from the unit cell 11 increases from the electric wire passing part 34 toward the bus bar holding part 32. In this way, since the ventilation space S2 becomes wider as it approaches the bus bar holding portion 32, the heat dissipation performance can be further improved.

  Further, a rectifying plate 39 that protrudes at least from the second surface 37 to the unit cell 11 side and sandwiches the ventilation space S2 with the electric wire passing part 34 is provided. If it does in this way, the rectification | straightening effect | action can be provided to the air which flows in the ventilation space S2 with the rectification | straightening board 39 which pinches | interposes ventilation space S2 between the electric wire penetration parts 34. FIG. Thereby, higher heat dissipation performance can be obtained.

  The rectifying plate 39 is configured to extend along the direction in which the plurality of bus bars 21 are arranged. In this way, the air present in the ventilation space S2 flows along the arrangement direction of the plurality of bus bars 21 by the rectifying plate 39, so that the plurality of bus bars 21 can radiate heat more efficiently. Can do.

  In addition, the rectifying plate 39 is configured to protrude from the first surface 36 toward the unit cell 11. In this way, since the rectifying action imparted to the air existing in the ventilation space S2 by the rectifying plate 39 is higher, the heat dissipation performance can be further improved.

  The rectifying plate 39 is integrally formed with the protector 30. In this case, as compared with the case where the rectifying plate 39 is a separate component from the protector 30, no positional deviation occurs in the positional relationship of the rectifying plate 39 with respect to the second surface 37, so that stable rectifying performance is achieved. Can be obtained.

The ventilation opening 40 allows the space in the bus bar holding portion 132 and the communication space S1 to communicate with each other by penetrating the short side portion of the side wall portion 132b. Since the communication space S1 communicates with the ventilation space S2, the air present in the ventilation space S2 can flow to the space in the bus bar holding portion 132 through the ventilation opening 40 and the communication space S1. It is said that. Since the heat generated from the bus bar 121 is easily trapped in the space in the bus bar holding part 132, the heat described above is utilized by using the air flowing into the ventilation space S1 through the ventilation opening 40 and the communication space S2.

<Embodiment 4>
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 17 or FIG. In the fourth embodiment, a battery module temperature adjustment system BMAS using an air conditioner mounted on a vehicle will be described. In addition, the overlapping description about the same structure, an effect | action, and effect as above-mentioned Embodiment 1 is abbreviate | omitted.

  The battery module temperature adjustment system BMAS according to the present embodiment is for adjusting the temperature of a battery module 310 including a plurality of single cells 311 and a battery wiring module 320 as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. It consists of the module 310 and the air blower 43 which can blow air toward the ventilation space S2 of the battery wiring module 320. This blower device 43 uses a blower system of an air conditioner (not shown) mounted on the vehicle, and specifically, an air conditioner that guides cold air or warm air generated in the air conditioner to an air outlet in the vehicle. A blower duct 43a branched from the duct (blower system) is provided. The air duct 43a is provided in a form in which the pair is arranged in the Y-axis direction so as to be opposed to the pair of ventilation spaces S2 in the battery wiring module 320, and the air outlets open toward the ventilation space S2. . The protector 330 constituting the battery wiring module 320 is provided with a ventilation inlet 44 that communicates with the ventilation space S2 and receives air blown from the outlet of the blower duct 43a. The air introduction port 44 is formed in a portion of the protector 330 that is continuous with the second surface 37 of the reinforcing rib 338 that is closest to the air duct 43a.

  According to the above configuration, for example, when the air conditioner is in a cooling operation in a high temperature environment where the room temperature or the outside temperature of the vehicle is high, the cool air generated in the air conditioner is transferred from the air conditioner duct to the air outlet in the vehicle. Although the air is blown, the cold air is also blown to the blower duct 43a of the blower device 43 branched from the air conditioner duct. The cold air blown out from the blowout port of the blower duct 43a is blown through the blower introduction port 44 to the ventilation space S2 held between the second surface 37 of the battery wiring module 320 and the unit cell 311. Thereby, the heat_generation | fever from the bus-bar 321 and the cell 311 can be suppressed more efficiently using the cold air | gas produced | generated with the air conditioner. On the other hand, when the air conditioner is heated in a low temperature environment where the room temperature or outside temperature of the vehicle is low, the warm air generated in the air conditioner is blown from the air conditioner duct to the air outlet in the car. Warm air is also blown to the blower duct 43a of the blower device 43 branched from the duct. The warm air blown from the blower outlet of the blower duct 43a is blown to the ventilation space S2 held between the second surface 37 of the battery wiring module 320 and the unit cell 311 through the blower inlet 44. Thereby, for example, at the initial stage when the engine is started, the unit cell 311 can be activated using the warm air generated by the air conditioner even in a low temperature environment.

  As described above, according to the battery wiring module 320 according to the present embodiment, the protector 330 communicates with the ventilation space S2 so that the ventilation from the blowing device 43 can be introduced into the ventilation space S2. Is formed. If it does in this way, the temperature which concerns on ventilation space S2 can be adjusted appropriately by ventilating from ventilation apparatus to ventilation space S2 through a ventilation introduction port.

If it does in this way, the temperature which concerns on the cell 311 and the battery wiring module 320 can be adjusted appropriately by ventilating to ventilation space S2 by the air blower 43. FIG.

  Further, the blower 43 can blow at least cool air. If it does in this way, high heat dissipation performance will be obtained by blowing cold air to ventilation space S2 by blower 43.

  Moreover, the air blower 43 can selectively blow cool air and warm air. In this way, in order to suppress the heat generation of the bus bar 321, heat is radiated by blowing cool air from the blower device 43 to the ventilation space S <b> 2, and the unit cell 311 is inactivated in a low temperature environment. In other words, the cell 311 can be activated by blowing warm air from the blowing device 43 to the ventilation space S2.
