Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a battery support structure.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an outline of an example of a conventional battery supporting structure, and FIG. 4 is a side view of the battery supporting structure associated with FIG. .

Reference numeral 1 is a battery, 2 is a clamp arm having a predetermined length, and having bolt holes 3 and 3 at both ends thereof. The clamp arm 2 is placed on the lower surface of the clamp arm 2 at a predetermined interval and is a battery. 1 Clamps 4 and 4 having an L-shaped cross section that can hold and hold the two corners of the upper part from above are fixed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the battery 1 is placed on the battery carrier 6 formed in a part of the vehicle body 5, and the upper part of the battery 1 is clamped by the clamps 4 and 4. The clamp arm 2 is placed on the battery 1, and the bolt 7 is inserted into the bolt hole 3 at one end of the clamp arm 2 and screwed into the bracket 8 provided on the vehicle body 5 side, whereby one end of the clamp arm 2 is fastened to the vehicle body 5. Insert the J bolt 9 into the bolt hole 3 at the other end, hook the lower end of the J bolt 9 into the long hole 10 provided in the battery carrier 6, and screw the nut 11 onto the top of the J bolt 9. The battery 1 is tightly bound to the battery carrier 6 by tightening the nut 11.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-described battery support structure, when the nut 11 is lightly screwed onto the top of the J bolt 9 inserted into the bolt hole 3, the lower end bends into a J shape when the J bolt 9 is released. The J-bolt 9 whose center of gravity is eccentric oscillates as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 4 so that the lower end of the J-bolt 9 is disengaged from the slot 10 of the battery carrier 6 and the nut 11 can be tightened. There was a problem that disappeared.

In view of the above situation, the present invention has a problem that the nut cannot be tightened by supporting the J bolt by the tip of the clamp bent in the direction parallel to the clamp arm to prevent the J bolt from swinging. The purpose of the invention is to provide a support structure for a battery that can prevent the generation.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a battery supporting structure in which clamp arms having clamps having an L-shaped cross section capable of holding two corners of the upper part of the battery from above from each other with a predetermined gap therebetween are tightly bound via bolts. At least one of them is a flanged clamp with a recessed part that fits a binding bolt at the tip of the flange part that is formed by extending the longitudinal center part of the lower end of the clamp and bending it toward the end part of the clamp arm. It has been configured.

[0008]

[Action]

 Therefore, in the present invention, the recess provided at the tip of the flanged clamp abuts against the side surface of the tightening bolt that is inserted into the bolt hole of the clamp arm and hangs down.

[0009]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing an outline of an embodiment of a battery supporting structure of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a clamp related to FIG. 1, in which the same parts as those in FIG. 3 are the same. The explanation is omitted by attaching the reference numerals.

In the present embodiment, a flanged clamp 12 is provided on the end portion side of the clamp arm 2 through which the J bolt 9 is inserted, and the other end portion side is provided with the same clamp 4 as that shown in the conventional example of FIG. Is provided.

The flanged clamp 12 extends downward in the longitudinal central portion of the lower end of the L-shaped clamp body 12 a so that the extended portion is substantially parallel to the clamp arm 2 toward the end of the clamp arm 2. A flange 13 is formed by bending, and a recess 14 having a radius matching the J bolt 9 is provided at the tip of the flange 13, and the recess is formed on the side surface of the J bolt 9 which is inserted into the bolt hole 3 and hangs substantially vertically. 14 are formed so as to abut.

Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the battery 1 is placed on the battery carrier 6 formed in a part of the vehicle body 5, and the upper portion of the battery 1 is clamped by the clamp 4 and the flanged clamp 12. The clamp arm 2 is placed on the battery 1 so that it is sandwiched and 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 on the clamp 4 side of the clamp arm 2 to insert the vehicle body 5. One end of the clamp arm 2 is fastened to the vehicle body 5 by being screwed into the bracket 8 provided on the 5 side.

Further, the lower end portion of the J bolt 9 is inserted into the long hole 10 provided in the battery carrier 6 from above, and the side surface of the J bolt 9 is inserted into the recess 14 provided at the tip end of the flange 13 of the flanged clamp 12. The J bolt 9 is pulled up while being pressed, and the lower end of the J bolt 9 which is bent while inserting the top of the J bolt 9 into the bolt hole 3 at the end of the clamp arm 2 from below is hooked on the tip of the elongated hole 10. Then, screw the nut 11 onto the top of the J bolt 9.

After that, the battery 1 is tightly bound to the battery carrier 6 by tightening the nut 11.

According to this embodiment, a concave portion 14 is provided at the tip of the flange 13 of the flanged clamp 12, and the concave portion 14 is inserted into the bolt hole 3 of the clamp arm 2 and abuts the side surface of the depending J bolt 9. Since it is formed as described above, the J-bolt 9 is guided by the concave portion 14 and does not swing, and even after the nut 11 is lightly screwed onto the top of the J-bolt 9, the J-bolt 9 is released. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of the problem that the lower end of the nut does not come off from the long hole 10 of the battery carrier 6 and the nut 11 cannot be tightened.

In the embodiment of the present invention, one end of the clamp arm 2 is directly attached to the bracket 8 provided on the vehicle body 5 by the bolt 7, and the other end is attached to the battery carrier 6 by the J bolt 9. The case where the battery 1 is tightly bound has been described, but it is also possible to attach both ends of the clamp arm 2 to the battery carrier 6 with the J bolts 9 to tightly bind the battery 1. In that case, the clamp arm 2 is fastened to the clamp arm 2. Needless to say, various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention, for example, a set of two flanged clamps 12 facing each other at a predetermined interval may be fixed.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 According to the battery support structure of the present invention, since the concave portion is provided at the flange tip of the flanged clamp, and the concave portion is formed so as to abut the side surface of the binding bolt that is inserted into the bolt hole of the clamp arm and hangs down. The bolt is guided by the recess. Therefore, after the nut is lightly screwed onto the top of the bolt, the bolt does not swing even if the bolt is released from the hand, so that it is possible to prevent an inconvenience that the nut cannot be tightened. Can play.
