Electrical connection structure
A holding portion in which a power supply distribution unit is inserted and held is formed in a case of an electrical connection structure. Here, the power supply distribution unit includes a main body formed so as to have an approximately twice-rotation symmetrical shape with respect to an imaginary line extending in a first direction. A projection is formed on the main body and/or the holding portion, and a groove into which the projection is inserted, and a restriction wall which interferes with the projection when the power source distribution unit is inversely inserted are formed on the holding portion and/or the main body. Further, a projection side inclined surface capable of guiding the projection into the groove by coming into contact with the restriction wall when the power source distribution unit is inserted in a state of a normal position is formed in the projection.
1 . An electrical connection structure comprising:
a case having a holding portion; and
a power source distribution unit which is inserted into and held in the holding portion, wherein
the holding portion includes:
a housing space which opens in one side in a first direction and in which the power source distribution unit is housed by relatively moving the power source distribution unit to the other side in the first direction with respect to the case; and
a wall defining the housing space, and
the power source distribution unit is provided with a main body including: a bus bar having a power source connection portion and a plurality of load connection portions, and capable of distributing power source; a plurality of fuse portions interposed between the power source connection portion and the load connection portion; and a cover for holding the bus bar,
the main body is formed so as to have an approximately twice-rotation symmetrical shape with respect to an imaginary line extending in the first direction,
a projection is formed at least on one of the main body and the holding portion,
a groove into which the projection is inserted when the power source distribution unit is inserted into the housing space in a state of a normal position, and a restriction wall which interferes with the projection when the power source distribution unit is inserted into the housing space in a state of an inverse position are formed at least on the other of the main body and the holding portion, and
a projection side inclined surface capable of guiding the projection into the groove by coming into contact with the restriction wall when the power source distribution unit is inserted into the housing space in a state of the normal position is formed in the projection.
2 . The electrical connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein
a restriction wall side inclined surface with which the projection side inclined surface comes into contact and which is capable of moving the projection in a direction away from the groove when the power source distribution unit is inserted into the housing space in a state of the inverse position is formed on the restriction wall.
3 . The electrical connection structure according to claim 2 , wherein
when the power source distribution unit is inserted into the housing space in a state of the inverse position, the projection side inclined surface and the restriction wall side inclined surface have surface contact with each other.
4 . The electrical connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the power source distribution unit is a multi-fusible link unit having a plurality of fusible link portions serving as the fuse portions.
5 . The electrical connection structure according to claim 4 , wherein
the plurality of fusible link portions are formed in the bus bar.
