Here, the ribs 22 to 27 other than the rib 21 are arranged line-symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry in the first direction X passing through the rib 21. Therefore, in the following description, only the ribs 22 to 27 on one side (left side in FIG. 2) of the line-symmetrical arrangements will be described, and the ribs 22 to 27 on the other side (right side in FIG. 2) will be described. The description is omitted.

The rib 22 extends linearly along the mounting direction X1 on the mounting surface 11a of the bottom plate portion 11 and toward the drain port 15a of the second recess 15. Further, the rib width of the rib 21 in the second direction Y is constant. The rib 22 has both the above-mentioned first function and the second function.

The ribs 23, 24, and 25 are all arranged closer to the rib 21 than the rib 22 on the mounting surface 11a of the bottom plate portion 11. Each of these ribs 23, 24, and 25 is a mold in an oblique direction intersecting the mounting direction X1 after the rib width in the second direction Y is constant and extends linearly along the mounting direction X1. It extends linearly along the operating direction D of.

The "operating direction D" here is a direction in which the mold (not shown) used when the engaging portion 17 is resin-molded operates in parallel with the mounting surface 11a.

For this purpose, the positioning portion 20a is preferably set as a step of about 1 to 3 [mm]. If this step exceeds 2 [mm] and becomes too large, the operation for removing the battery B from the tray 10 becomes difficult. On the other hand, if this step is less than 2 [mm] and becomes too small, the positioning function, which is the original purpose, is deteriorated.

According to the fourth function described above, since the positioning operation of the battery B with respect to the bottom plate portion 11 is easy, the time required for mounting the battery B can be shortened. Further, by arranging the positioning portion 20a according to the type and size of the battery B, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of erroneous assembly of the battery B.

Each of the ribs 23 to 27 includes a portion extending linearly along the operating direction D of the mold, and this portion is configured as a widening portion 20b.

It will be possible. Further, the concave portion 15 can be easily positioned with respect to the panel 6 by using the tubular portion 15c of the first concave portion 15.

Then, the recess 15 positioned with respect to the panel 6 is fastened to the panel 6 by using the bolt member 30 inserted into both the bolt hole 15b and the through hole 6b provided in the panel 6. After that, when the battery B is pushed toward the tray 10 fastened to the panel 6, the battery B slides in the mounting direction X1 and is set to the planned mounting position P2 through the pre-mounting position P1.

At this time, the movement of the battery B in the vertical direction is restricted by the engaging portion 17 as described above from the mounting position P1 to the mounting position P2. Therefore, the sliding operation of the battery B in the mounting direction X1 can be stabilized by the engaging portion 17.

The battery B after being set to the mounting position P2 is fastened to the tray 10 by using the bolt member 31 and the two brackets 32 and 33.

As shown in FIG. 7, while the battery B is sliding from the pre-mounting position P1 toward the mounting position P2 in the mounting direction X1, the rear side region B2 passes through the positioning portion 20a of the rib 21. At this time, the positioning portion 20a is formed by a step provided on the rib upper surface 21a of the rib 21. Therefore, when the battery B reaches the mounting position P2, the rear side region B2 lowers the step due to its own weight and engages with the step portion, so that the battery B is positioned with respect to the bottom plate portion 11.

Although only the positioning portion 20a of the rib 21 is shown in FIG. 7, the same positioning effect can be obtained by the positioning portion 20a of the ribs 23 to 25.
