  • the cathode connection part 110 includes a rectangular cathode-side base part 111 facing the cathode bottom face of the battery, a cathode-side contact part 112 provided at the center of the cathode-side base part 111 and contacting the cathode bottom face, and a cathode-side base part 112.
  • Four cathode-side engaging portions 113 that extend downward from the middle portion of each of the four surrounding sides and engage with the coating layer of the battery.
  • the cathode side contact portion 112 includes two flexible contact pieces 112b formed by inserting two V-shaped slits 112a in the cathode side base 112 and bending the inner region of these slits 112a downward (battery side). . These contact pieces 112b can be reliably brought into contact with the bottom surface of the battery cathode so as to elastically press it.
  • Each cathode-side engagement portion 113 has an engagement claw 113b for penetrating the battery coating layer and contacting the cathode outer peripheral surface inside the lower end portion thereof.
  • a plurality of engaging claws 113b can be provided in each cathode side engaging portion 113, and FIG. 19 shows an example in which three are provided side by side. In the battery connector 100, the engagement claw 113 b comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cathode, so that the certainty of contact between the cathode connecting portion 110 and the cathode of the battery is increased.
  • the engaging claws are engaged at three or four places around the battery, but may be two engaging claws facing each other.
  • the battery connection fitting may be provided with cathode connection portions 20, 70, 110 connected to the cathodes of a plurality of batteries (for example, three) on a single metal plate. Also in this case, each cathode connection portion 20, 70, 110 has cathode contact portions 22, 72, 112 and engaging claws 23b, 73b, 113b that engage with the coating layer 4 of the battery, A plurality of batteries can be held on a single metal plate. Then, the anode is connected with a battery connection fitting that is separate from the battery connection fitting on the cathode side. This connection is often used for parallel connection of batteries. A plurality of units can be connected by using the batteries connected in parallel as one unit.
  • the cathode of one battery of the first unit and the anode of one battery of the second unit are connected.
  • the first unit and the second unit are connected in series
  • the cathode of one battery of the second unit and the anode of one battery of the third unit can be connected in series.
  • the battery connection fittings of various forms described above can be connected to a monitoring device with a lead wire for monitoring the battery connection state. In this case, since the battery connection state is easier to understand than the welded one, monitoring may be omitted in response to a request for cost reduction.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une pièce métallique de connexion pour batterie, laquelle pièce peut être connectée à des électrodes de batterie de manière aisée et fiable et sans être soudée à celles-ci. La pièce métallique de connexion pour batterie (10) comporte : une section de connexion de cathode (20) devant être connectée à une face inférieure de cathode d'une première batterie comprenant une section protubérance d'anode, la face inférieure de cathode, une face latérale de cathode et une couche de revêtement isolant qui recouvre la face latérale de cathode ; et une section de connexion d'anode (30) devant être connectée à une section protubérance d'anode d'une seconde batterie ayant la même structure que la première batterie. La section de connexion de cathode (20) comprend : une section de contact côté cathode (22) qui doit être amenée à venir en contact avec la face inférieure de cathode de la première batterie ; et une pluralité de doigts de verrouillage (23b) qui doivent être verrouillés sur la couche de revêtement de la face latérale de cathode de la première batterie. La section de contact côté cathode (22) comprend en outre : une pluralité de pièces de contact flexibles (22b) s'étendant en porte-à-faux à partir du côté d'extrémité de base en direction du côté pointe de celles-ci ; et des contacts de cathode en forme de protubérance (22c) qui sont formés au niveau des sections de pointe de chacune des pièces de contact (22b) et qui doivent être amenés en contact avec la face inférieure de cathode de la première batterie. De plus, les doigts de verrouillage (23b) pénètrent dans la couche de revêtement et viennent en contact avec la face latérale de cathode.
