【Example】

 An embodiment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a structure for fixing a storage battery for a vehicle according to the present invention. The vehicle storage battery 1 used in this embodiment is appropriately installed in the engine room, in the trunk room, and under the front and rear seats according to the shape of the vehicle. The case of being installed inside will be described as an example, but the same applies to other places.

As shown in FIG. 1, a vehicle storage battery 1 used in the present embodiment has a pair of negative electrode side terminals 3 and positive electrode side terminals 5 arranged on the upper surface of a battery case on the rear side. At this time, a protruding edge 7 is formed on the bottom of one side surface, and a screw for engaging with the nut 3B is engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the negative electrode side terminal 3, and the positive electrode side terminal 5 has a normal shape. .. The projecting edge 7 is formed integrally with the resin-made battery case of the vehicular storage battery 1 and ensures sufficient strength.

As a support member, the protruding edge fixing bracket 9 engaging with the protruding edge 7 is formed by forming a rigid iron plate or the like into an elongated plate shape, and one side along the longitudinal direction of the plate body has the above-mentioned protruding portion. It is bent into a shape that can engage with the edge 7, and the other side is firmly connected to the vehicle body by welding or the like.

The mounting bracket 11 as a fixing member is formed into a so-called crank shape by bending an elongated plate body such as an iron plate or the like at approximately 5 to 8 cm from the end portions at substantially right angles in opposite directions. A notch 11A engaging with the negative electrode side terminal 3 and a hole through which the mounting bolt 13 penetrates are provided in each of them, and an intermediate portion thereof is adjusted to be slightly longer than the height of the vehicle storage battery 1. Further, the opening direction of the notch 11A is provided so as to be opposite to the tightening direction of the mounting bolt 13, and at the time of tightening, the rotation of the mounting bracket 11 due to this tightening is blocked by the negative electrode side terminal 3. Therefore, easy and good tightening can be performed. Further, the mounting bracket 11 connects the negative electrode side terminal 3 and the vehicle and also serves as a ground cable.

The procedure for mounting the vehicle storage battery 1 will be described below. First, the vehicle storage battery 1 is placed at a predetermined position of the vehicle by engaging the protruding edge fixing bracket 9 that is fixed to the vehicle body in advance with the protruding edge 7 at the lower end of the battery case. Next, the holes of the mounting bolts 13 below the mounting bracket 11 are bored in the vehicle, and the mounting bolts 13 are fitted into the holes while aligning the holes on the inner wall surface of which the screws are screwed. , Tighten the mounting bolt 13 by a predetermined amount such that the mounting bracket 11 is not fixed.

Subsequently, after engaging the notch 11A in the upper portion of the mounting bracket 11 with the negative electrode side terminal 3 on the upper surface of the vehicle storage battery 1, the screw is engraved on the screw carved on the outer peripheral surface of the negative electrode side terminal 3. The nut 3B is tightened together with the mounting bolt 13 to fix the vehicle storage battery 1 to the vehicle. At this time, the intermediate portion of the mounting bracket 11 is slightly curved by tightening the nut 3B and the mounting bolt 13 to absorb an error due to mounting or the like.

Next, a procedure for replacing the vehicle storage battery 1 will be described. First, when removing the old vehicle storage battery 1, after loosening the nut 3B and the mounting bolt 13 of the negative terminal 3, the vehicle storage battery 1 is slid along the protruding edge fixing bracket 9 along the protruding edge 7. Then, the storage battery 1 for the vehicle is removed. Next, when installing a new vehicle storage battery, the new vehicle storage battery is similarly moved from the front side to the back side along the protruding edge fixing bracket 9 so that the protruding edge slides and is installed. .. After that, the nut 3B and the mounting bolt 13 of the negative electrode side terminal 3 which are just loosened at the time of removal are fastened to fix the vehicle storage battery 1 to the vehicle, and the replacement work is completed.

That is, since the two screws can be replaced by simply loosening them, the attachment / detachment work can be performed easily and in a short time, and the positioning is performed by the protruding edge fixing bracket 9 and the mounting bracket 11. , No matter who performs the replacement work, a reliable installation can always be performed. At this time, if the vehicle storage battery 1 cannot be moved in the front-rear direction along the protruding edge fixing bracket 9, after loosening the nut 3B and the mounting bolt 13, the mounting bracket 11 is set to its opening. By bending while twisting in the opposite direction, the vehicle storage battery 1 can be removed by lifting it upward.

By providing a waterproof packing between the hole for the mounting bolt 13 and the vehicle, the hole for the mounting bolt 13 can be more surely closed, and waterproof and soundproofing can be achieved. It can be expected to have an excellent effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, the vehicle storage battery 1 is provided with the projecting edge 7 at the lower end of the battery case, and the projecting edge 7 is engaged with the projecting edge fixing bracket 9. When there is no protruding edge 7 in the portion, the protruding edge fixing bracket 9 may have a so-called L-shaped cross section, and the side surface of the vehicle storage battery 1 may be pressed by its rising portion to fix the same. The effect can be obtained.
