Abstract
Description
その結果、本発明によれば、ヒューズを備える蓄電モジュールを小型化することができる。
前記ヒューズを装着するヒューズ装着部と、前記検知端子を収容する端子収容部と、を有するとともに、前記リード端子と、前記ヒューズと前記リード端子とを電気的に接続するヒューズ接続バスバーとを保持する保持部材を備え、前記ヒューズ装着部に前記ヒューズを装着し、前記端子収容部に前記検知端子を収容し、かつ前記ヒューズ接続バスバーと前記リード端子とを接続した状態とすることにより、前記ヒューズが前記検知端子および前記蓄電素子と電気的に接続される構成であってもよい。
実施形態1の蓄電モジュール10を図1ないし図34によって説明する。図面においては、複数の同一部材のうち一の部材にのみ符号を付し、他の同一部材については符号を省略する場合がある。以下の説明において、図2における左側を前方とし右側を後方とする。
積層体20を構成する4つの蓄電ユニット21は、下から順に第1蓄電ユニット21A、第2蓄電ユニット21B、第3蓄電ユニット21C、第4蓄電ユニット21Dである。各蓄電ユニット21は、長手方向の両端部にそれぞれ取り付けられた保持部材30と、伝熱部材17と、蓄電素子12と、を備える。
伝熱部材17は熱伝導性材料からなる板状の部材である。本実施形態では、熱伝導性材料として、熱伝導性に優れたアルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金が用いられる。伝熱部材17の長手方向における両端部には、それぞれ絶縁樹脂材料からなる保持部材30が取り付けられており、伝熱部材17の上面には蓄電素子12が載置される。
蓄電素子12は、図2に示すように、上方から見て略長方形状をなしている。蓄電素子12は、略長方形状をなす一対のラミネートフィルムの側縁を溶着してなる容器14と、容器14の内部に収容された図示しない蓄電要素と、容器14の内部において蓄電要素に接続されると共に、容器14の側縁から外部に導出されるリード端子13と、を備える。本実施形態では、容器14の一側縁(前方の側縁)から、正極および負極のリード端子13が導出されている。
溶接方法としてはレーザー溶接、超音波溶接等の方法があげられる。
各蓄電ユニット21を構成する保持部材30には、蓄電素子12のリード端子13の角部15Aが嵌り込む凹状の蓄電素子保持部31が形成されている。この蓄電素子保持部31により、リード端子13(蓄電素子12)は移動を規制される。
第1保持部材30Aと第5保持部材30Eとを取り付けた伝熱部材17と、第2保持部材30Bと第5保持部材30Eとを取り付けた伝熱部材17と、第3保持部材30Cと第5保持部材30Eとを取り付けた伝熱部材17と、第4保持部材30Dと第5保持部材30Eとを取り付けた伝熱部材17と、を用意する。
続いて、本実施形態の作用、効果について説明する。
本実施形態において、蓄電モジュール10は、蓄電素子12のリード端子13と電気的に接続されるヒューズ45を備え、ヒューズ45には検知端子50が直接接続されているので、ヒューズ45と検知端子50を接続するためのヒューズブロックや、ヒューズ45と検知端子50とを接続するための部材が不要となり、小型化が可能となるとともに、従来のものよりも部品点数を少なくすることができる。その結果、本実施形態によれば、ヒューズ45を備える蓄電モジュール10を小型化することができる。
本明細書に記載された技術に係る実施形態2を、図35ないし図60を参照しつつ説明する。本実施形態に係る蓄電モジュール110は、図示しない車両に搭載されて電源として使用される。蓄電モジュール110は、蓄電ユニット112と、回路ユニット113と、を備える。以下の説明においては、X方向を右方とし、Y方向を前方とし、Z方向を上方とする。また、複数の同一部材については、一部の部材に符号を付し、他の部材の符号を省略することがある。
蓄電ユニット112は、全体として、実質的に直方体形状をなしている(図35参照)。蓄電ユニット112は、複数(本実施形態では6つ)の蓄電素子127が並べられた蓄電素子群128を有する(図38参照)。蓄電素子127は、長方形状をなす1対のラミネートシートの間に挟まれた蓄電要素(図示せず)を有する。1対のラミネートシートは、蓄電要素が内部に収容された状態で、4辺が接合されている。1対のラミネートシートの各辺は、熱融着、接着等の公知の手法により接合されている。
回路ユニット113は、全体として、左右方向から見て、実質的にL字状をなしている(図54参照)。回路ユニット113は、蓄電ユニット112の上面、及び、上面の端縁から下方に連なる側面に沿って取り付けられている。回路ユニット113は、比較的に大きな電流が流れる大電流部品183と、大電流部品183に流れる電流よりも小さな電流が流れる小電流部品184と、を備える。
続いて、本実施形態の作用、効果について説明する。本実施形態においては、電圧検知端子157は中継端子160を介して第1小電流バスバー167に接続されている。これにより、電圧検知端子157に電線を接続した場合に比べて、配索スペースを小型化することができる。また、複数の第1小電流バスバー167を同一の工程において所定の形状に加工することができるので、製造工程を簡素化できる。
本明細書で開示の技術は上記記述及び図面によって説明した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば次のような実施形態であってもよい。
(1)上記実施形態では、ヒューズ装着部42と、端子収容部48と、を有するとともに、リード端子13とヒューズ接続バスバー40とを保持する保持部材30を示したが、このような構成に限定されない。保持部材は、リード端子を保持する機能のみ有するものであってもよい。
(2)上記実施形態では、ヒューズ接続バスバー40とリード端子13とを接続状態としたのち、ヒューズ45を装着し、端子収容部48に検知端子50を収容することにより、ヒューズ装着部42にヒューズ45を装着し、端子収容部48に検知端子50を収容し、かつヒューズ接続バスバー40とリード端子13とを接続した状態としたが、これに限定されない。
ヒューズ接続バスバーとリード端子とを接続状態として検知端子を収容したのちにヒューズを装着しても構わない。
(3)上記実施形態では4つの蓄電素子12を積層してなる蓄電素子群11を示したが、5以上の蓄電素子を積層してなる蓄電素子群であってもよいし、2個または3個の蓄電素子を積層してなる蓄電素子群であってもよい。
(4)上記実施形態ではアルミニウム製またはアルミニウム合金製のバスバー25、外部接続バスバー26、およびリード端子13を示したが、これらは同種の金属であるのが好ましいが、相違する金属材料から構成されていてもよい。アルミニウムおよびアルミニウム合金以外の金属材料の例としてはたとえば銅や銅合金などがあげられる。
(5)上記実施形態では、検知端子50として電圧を検知する電圧検知端子を示したが、検知端子は温度を検知するものであってもよい。
(6)上記実施形態では、リード端子13と接続部材25,26とをレーザー溶接で接合し、リード端子13とヒューズ接続バスバー40とを超音波溶接で接合した例を示したが溶接方法はこれに限定されない。接合する部材の材料等を考慮し溶接方法は適宜決定することが可能である。
