The locking protrusion 32 is disposed adjacent to the front of the lock hole 31. A locking hole 47 of a later-described elastic locking piece 46 is fitted into the locking projection 32.

  The multifunctional member 40 is molded by a synthetic resin material. As shown in FIG. 1, the multi-function member 40 includes the same number of first fitting portions 41 as the first housing member 24 and the first bus bar 21 and two (the same number as the second housing member 25 and the second bus bar 22). The second fitting portion 42 and the plurality of connecting portions 43 are integrally formed. The multi-function member 40 has a function of collectively positioning and holding a plurality of receiving members 24 and 25 (bus bars 21 and 22) so as to be in an arrangement corresponding to the predetermined electrode 11, and a holding member 24 collectively held. , 25 and the bus bars 21 and 22 are collectively positioned and attached to the battery 10 and the electrode 11. In addition, when the parallel pitch of the battery 10 is shifted, the multifunctional member 40 corrects the positions of the housing members 24 and 25 and the bus bars 21 and 22 corresponding to the positional shift of the electrode 11, thereby It also has a function of absorbing 10 positional deviations.

  As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the 1st fitting part 41 is the flat 1st protection part 44 which makes a horizontally long substantially rectangular shape, and two pairs of elastic locking pieces 46 (the relationship which is a constituent requirement of this invention). (Stop part) and are formed integrally. The first protection part 44 is configured to block the entire opening on the front surface of the first housing member 24. The two pairs of elastic locking pieces 46 that are vertically opposed to each other form a pair, and are arranged with a space left and right. As shown in FIG. 1, the second fitting portion 42 is configured by integrally forming a flat plate-like second protection portion 45 having a vertically long rectangle and a pair of upper and lower elastic locking pieces 46. The second protection part 45 is configured to block the entire opening on the front surface of the second housing member 25.

  The elastic locking pieces 46 paired up and down are in a form that cantilevered from the upper and lower edges of the protective portions 44 and 45 to the rear. A through hole type locking hole 47 is formed at the rear end portion (extending end portion) of the elastic locking piece 46. The elastic locking piece 46 always maintains a holding position (see FIGS. 14 and 17) where the locking hole 47 can be fitted with the locking protrusion 32 of the housing members 24 and 25. The hole 47 can be elastically displaced to a release position (see FIG. 15) where the hole 47 is released from fitting with the locking protrusion 32.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of first fitting portions 41 are arranged in a staggered manner in two upper and lower stages. That is, the upper plurality of first fitting portions 41 and the lower plurality of first fitting portions 41 are arranged in a line in the left-right direction. The lower first fitting portion 41 has a positional relationship that is shifted to the left and right. The number of upper first fitting portions 41 is one less than the number of lower first fitting portions 41. The two second fitting portions 42 are arranged so as to sandwich the upper first fitting portion 41 from the left and right.

  The connecting portion 43 has a plate shape curved in a substantially semicircular arc shape and can be elastically deformed. The connecting portion 43 has a function of connecting adjacent fitting portions 41 and 42 and a relative displacement of the battery 10 by moving the fitting portions 41 and 42 connected in the left and right directions so as to approach and separate from each other. It also has a function to absorb water. In the upper stage, the first fitting parts 41 adjacent to each other on the left and right are connected by one connecting part 43, and the second fitting part 42 and the first fitting part 41 located at the end are one. They are connected by a connecting portion 43. In the lower stage, the first fitting parts 41 adjacent to each other on the left and right are connected by one connecting part 43.

  Further, between the upper stage and the lower stage, the upper second fitting part 42 and the two first fitting parts 41 positioned at the extreme ends in the lower stage are only connected by one connecting part 43. . The upper first fitting portion 41 and the lower first fitting portion 41 are not connected by the connecting portion 43. Therefore, the upper first fitting portion 41 and the lower first fitting portion 41 can be relatively displaced in the left-right direction independently of each other.

  Next, an operation process for connecting the bus bars 21 and 22 to the electrode 11 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the first bus bar 21 is housed in the first housing member 24, and the second bus bar 22 is housed in the second housing member 25. Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the first housing member 24 is fitted to the first fitting portion 41 from the rear, and the second housing member 25 is fitted to the second fitting portion 42 from the rear. In the fitted state, the protective portions 44 and 45 abut against the front surfaces of the housing members 24 and 25 and cover the entire opening, thereby preventing foreign matter interference with the bus bars 21 and 22.

  Further, the elastic locking pieces 46 come into contact with the outer surfaces of the upper wall portion 28 and the lower wall portion 29 of the housing members 24 and 25, so that the fitting portions 41 and 42 and the housing members 24 and 25 are vertically moved. The relative displacement in the direction is restricted and the positioning is achieved. Furthermore, when the locking hole 47 is locked to the locking projection 32, the fitting portions 41 and 42 and the housing members 24 and 25 are moved in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction (the fitting portions 41 and 42 and the housing member 24, In this state, the relative displacement in the direction in which 25 is separated is restricted and positioned. In a state where the locking hole 47 and the locking projection 32 are locked, the extended end portion (rear end portion) of the elastic locking piece 46 corresponds to the lock hole 31 so as to cover the lock hole 31 from the outer surface side. To position. In this way, the plurality of housing members 24 and 25 are held in the assembled state with respect to the multifunctional member 40 (the fitting portions 41 and 42), whereby the bus bar unit 20 is configured as shown in FIG. Is done.

  The bus bar unit 20 assembled in this way is attached to the battery 10 from the front. At the time of attachment, the receiving members 24 and 25 are inserted between the upper and lower elastic arm portions 13 so that the groove portions 30 are fitted to the lock protrusions 14 in a state where the elastic arm portions 13 are elastically deformed. To do. Then, the housing members 24 and 25 are restricted from moving up and down between the upper and lower elastic arm portions 13, and the battery 10 (electrode 11) is engaged with the lock protrusion 14 and the groove 30. Thus, the housing members 24 and 25 are positioned in the left-right direction (the direction in which the batteries 10 are arranged). At this time, the parallel pitch of the batteries 10 has low accuracy, and most of the electrodes 11 are displaced in the left-right direction. However, the groove portion 30 and the elastic arm portion 13 can be fitted by elastically deforming the connecting portion 43 that connects the fitting portions 41 and 42 adjacent to each other on the left and right sides to absorb the positional deviation (pitch deviation). it can.

  As the assembly of the bus bar unit 20 proceeds, as shown in FIG. 15, the elastic arm portion 13 is elastically deformed, and its extended end (front end) contacts the extended end (rear end) of the elastic locking piece 46. A release position (accommodating member) in which the elastic locking piece 46 at the holding position (the position where the accommodating members 24, 25 are held in the fitted state with the fitting portions 41, 42) is moved away from the outer surface of the accommodating members 24, 25. 24 and 25 are elastically displaced to a position where they are released from the fitted state with the fitting parts 41 and 42. With the elastic displacement of the elastic locking piece 46, the locking hole 47 is disengaged from the locking projection 32. Therefore, manual work for displacing the elastic locking piece 46 from the holding position to the release position is unnecessary, and workability is improved. Are better.

  Further, as described above, the accuracy of the parallel pitch of the batteries 10 is relatively low, and most of the connecting portions 43 are elastically deformed when the bus bar unit 20 is assembled to the battery 10. Therefore, as the locking hole 47 is disengaged from the locking projection 32, the fitting portions 41 and 42 are slightly displaced from side to side with respect to the housing members 24 and 25 due to the elastic restoring force of the connecting portion 43, The locking hole 47 is displaced from side to side with respect to the locking projection 32.

  Immediately after the locking hole 47 is disengaged from the locking protrusion 32 and shifted to the left and right, the elastic arm portion 13 is elastically restored and the lock protrusion 14 is fitted into the lock hole 31 as shown in FIG. Due to the locking of the lock protrusion 14 and the lock hole 31, the housing members 24 and 25 are restricted from being detached forward from the battery 10. During this time, the housing members 24 and 25 are maintained in a state where positional deviation in the left-right direction with respect to the battery 10 is restricted. Thus, the housing members 24 and 25 are locked in the assembled state with respect to the battery 10.

  Further, since the locking hole 47 (elastic locking piece 46) is displaced to the left and right with respect to the locking projection 32, even if the elastic arm portion 13 is elastically restored and dissociated from the elastic locking piece 46, The elastic locking piece 46 is kept on the locking projection 32. Therefore, after the housing members 24 and 25 are assembled to the battery 10, the multifunctional member 40 can be detached from the housing members 24 and 25 and the battery 10 by pulling forward.

  After removing the multi-function member 40, the bolt 15 passed through the connection hole 23 is screwed into the female screw hole 12, and the bus bars 21, 22 are fixed to the electrode 11 so as to be conductive. Thereby, the adjacent batteries 10 are connected in series via the bus bars 21 and 22. After all the bus bars 21 and 22 are fixed to the electrode 11, as shown in FIG. 17, the fitting portions 41 and 42 of the multi-function member 40 are again assembled to the housing members 24 and 25, and the elastic locking pieces 46 and The lock projection 14 is locked to lock in the assembled state. When the multi-function member 40 is assembled, the connection portions of the bus bars 21 and 22 with the electrodes 11 and the bolts 15 are covered with the protection portions 44 and 45, so that they are protected from the interference of foreign matters from the outside.

  The bus bar unit 20 of this embodiment includes a plurality of bus bars 21 and 22 for connecting the electrodes 11 of the plurality of batteries 10, a plurality of housing members 24 and 25 for individually housing the plurality of bus bars 21 and 22, The multifunctional member 40 which consists of one member is provided.

A plurality of connecting portions 43 are provided. When the plurality of bus bars 21 and 22 are collectively positioned on the electrode 11 of the battery 10, the plurality of fitting portions 41 and 42 are relatively displaced by elastically bending the connecting portion 43. .

  If this bus bar unit 20 (multifunctional member 40) is used, even if the battery 10 is displaced, the position of the battery 10 is displaced by elastically bending the connecting portion 43 to relatively displace the positions of the bus bars 21, 22. The plurality of bus bars 21 and 22 can be collectively positioned on the electrode 11 of the battery 10. Since the multifunction member 40 of the present embodiment is a component different from the housing members 24 and 25 for housing the bus bars 21 and 22, it is small and simple in shape. Therefore, the cost of the mold for forming the multifunctional member 40 can be kept low.

  In addition, the mounting structure of the bus bars 21 and 22 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of batteries 10 having electrodes 11, an elastic arm portion 13 provided on the battery 10 side, and a bus bar unit 20. The bus bar unit 20 includes a plurality of bus bars 21 and 22 connected to the electrode 11, a plurality of storage members 24 and 25 that individually store the plurality of bus bars 21 and 22, and a single member. , 25 are formed in the multi-function member 40 formed with a plurality of fitting portions 41, 42 that can be individually fitted, and the fitting portions 41, 42, and the housing members 24, 25 are turned into the fitting portions 41, 42. Protection portions 44 and 45 that cover the bus bars 21 and 22 in a fitted state, and elastic locking pieces 46 formed on the fitting portions 41 and 42 are provided. The elastic locking pieces 46 release the holding members 24 and 25 from the fitted state with the fitting parts 41 and 42 and the holding position for holding the containing members 24 and 25 in the fitted state with the fitting parts 41 and 42. When the bus bars 21 and 22 are positioned on the electrode 11, the elastic arms 13 are displaced from the holding position to the releasing position.

  According to this configuration, the bus bars 21 and 22 housed in the housing members 24 and 25 are covered with the protection portions 44 and 45 before the bus bars 21 and 22 are positioned on the electrodes 11, thereby the bus bar 21. , 22 can prevent adhesion of foreign matter. Further, when the bus bars 21 and 22 are positioned with respect to the electrode 11, the elastic locking piece 46 is displaced from the holding position to the release position by the elastic arm portion 13, and the accommodating members 24 and 25 are fitted to the fitting portion 41. , 42 is released from the fitted state, so that the operator does not have to perform an operation for displacing the elastic locking piece 46 to the release position. Moreover, since the multi-function member 40 in which the fitting portions 41 and 42 are formed is a single member, the work of removing the plurality of fitting portions 41 and 42 from the plurality of housing members 24 and 25 can be performed with one action. It can be carried out. Therefore, it is excellent in workability.
