Abstract

A power supply device includes: a battery cell assembly including battery cells; and a bus bar module mounted to the battery cell assembly. The bus bar module includes a bus bar, an electric wire, and an electric wire wiring body. The electric wire wiring body includes: a bus bar chamber configured to accommodate the bus bar therein; an electric wire wiring portion having a first side opened and a second side closed, the electric wire wiring portion configured to accommodate the electric wire therein; and a lid arranged at an opening of the electric wire wiring portion. The lid has an opening portion through which the electric wire accommodated in the electric wire wiring portion is visible. The bus bar module is mounted to the battery cell assembly with the lid facing the battery cell assembly.

Claims (19)

1 . A power supply device comprising:

a battery cell assembly including battery cells; and

a bus bar module mounted to the battery cell assembly, wherein

the bus bar module includes a bus bar, an electric wire, and an electric wire wiring body,

the electric wire wiring body includes:

a bus bar chamber configured to accommodate the bus bar therein;

an electric wire wiring portion having a first side opened with an opening and a second side closed, the electric wire wiring portion configured to accommodate the electric wire therein; and

a lid arranged at the opening of the electric wire wiring portion,

the lid has an opening portion through which the electric wire accommodated in the electric wire wiring portion is visible, and

the bus bar module is mounted to the battery cell assembly with the lid facing the battery cell assembly and the second side of the electric wire wiring portion facing opposite the battery cell assembly.

2 . The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein

the bus bar chamber includes a locking portion configured to lock the bus bar on the lid side.

3 . The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein

the electric wire wiring portion has a pair of retaining pieces which are elastically deformable, have distal ends arranged close to each other, and restrict the electric wire from moving toward the opening of the electric wire wiring portion, and

the distal ends of the pair of retaining pieces are bent toward an opposite side of the opening of the electric wire wiring portion.

4 . The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein

the bus bar module is mounted to the battery cell assembly such that the opening portion of the lid is closed by the battery cell assembly.

5 . The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first side of the electric wire wiring portion and the second side of the electric wire wiring portion are opposite sides of the electric wire wiring portion with respect to a direction in which the bus bar module is mounted on the battery cell assembly.
