Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To facilitate the replacement of storage batteries in electric vehicles and in a short time. [Structure] The electrodes 2 and 3 of the electricity storage plate 1 are formed in a flat plate shape, and the vehicle-side electrode connection portions 4 and 5 are formed in a substantially U-shape for elastically sandwiching the electrodes 2 and 3.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an electrode connecting structure for connecting electrodes of a vehicle power storage device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, electric vehicles that use electric energy as a clean power source have been used. A storage battery is installed in this electric vehicle, and the storage battery is replaced or charged at every predetermined traveling distance. Here, the electrode of the storage battery is formed in a columnar shape, and an eyeglass clip and an alligator clip are fixed to the electrode by bolting and wired (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-146873).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if the eyeglass clip or the like is fixed to the cylindrical electrode by bolting, there is a problem in that the replacement of the storage battery becomes complicated, and it takes time to replace it, and the replacement work efficiency deteriorates. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides an electrode connection structure that allows a storage battery to be easily replaced.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, the electrodes of the storage battery mounted on the vehicle are formed in a flat plate shape, while the vehicle-side electrode connection portion is formed by a holding member that elastically holds the electrodes.

[0005]

[Action]

 Then, the electrodes were inserted into the holding member from one side so that the storage battery could be mounted on the vehicle so that the battery could be replaced easily and in a short time.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the figure, a storage battery 1 is provided with a positive electrode 2 and a negative electrode 3, and these electrodes 2 and 3 are formed of flat plates. The electrodes 2 and 3 are formed substantially horizontally with their tips bent outward. On the other hand, the vehicle is formed with a recess for mounting a storage battery, and the electrode connecting portions 4 and 5 are mounted on both upper sides of the recess. As shown in FIG. 1, these electrode connecting portions 4 and 5 are formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section and are tapered, and elastically clamp the electrodes 2 and 3 at the leading ends. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the electrode connecting portions 4 and 5 are extended in the inserting direction of the storage battery 1 so that the electrodes 2 and 3 of the plurality of storage batteries 1 can be held at the same time. The electrode connecting portions 4 and 5 are connected to a running electric motor or the like via lead wires (not shown).

According to this structure, when the storage battery 1 is removed, when the storage battery 1 is pulled out to the front side in FIG. 1, the electrodes 2 and 3 move along the electrode connecting portions 4 and 5 to connect the electrodes 2 and 3 to each other. It can be removed from parts 4, 5 and. In addition, when the storage battery 1 is pushed in from the front side in FIG. 1 at the time of attachment, the electrodes 2 and 3 are inserted into the electrode connecting portions 4 and 5 from one side and held between them. Therefore, the storage battery 1 can be replaced easily and in a short time, so that the replacement work efficiency can be significantly improved. In this way, if an individual prepares two sets of storage batteries, one can be exchanged for charging and the other can be used for traveling, thereby eliminating the restriction on the operating time of the vehicle. In addition, the storage battery can be easily replaced at a gas station, etc., and the traveling distance can be greatly extended.

The base end portion of the electrode may be formed flexibly.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, as described above, the electrodes of the storage battery are formed by the plate-shaped member, while the vehicle-side electrode connection portion is formed by the holding member that elastically holds the plate-shaped member. The storage battery can be replaced easily and in a short time, greatly improving the replacement work efficiency.
