Abstract

A power storage device including a module stacked body having power storage modules stacked in a first direction and having a side surface extending in the first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; first and second restraint plates stacked on both sides of the body in the first direction and applying a restraint load; and a guide member, coupled to the restraint plates, and including a wiring guide portion guiding a wiring connected to the body, and an extending portion, connected to the wiring guide portion and extending in the first direction, including a fixing portion in an end portion of the extending portion and fixed to the first restraint plate; and an engagement portion in another end portion of the extending portion and engaged with the second restraint plate so as to be movable in the first and second directions when the storage modules expand/contract.

Claims (45)

1 . A power storage device comprising:

a module stacked body including a plurality of power storage modules stacked in a first direction and having a first side surface extending in the first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and a second side surface adjacent to the first side surface and extending in the first direction and a third direction orthogonal to the first side surface and the second direction;

a first restraint plate and a second restraint plate stacked on both sides of the module stacked body in the first direction and applying a restraint load to the module stacked body in the first direction;

a wiring connected to the module stacked body; and

a guide member coupled to the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate and disposing the wiring on the first side surface,

wherein the guide member includes:

a wiring guide portion extending in the second direction and guiding the wiring toward the second side surface; and

a first extending portion connected to the wiring guide portion and extending in the first direction, and

wherein the first extending portion includes:

a first fixing portion provided in a first end portion that is one end portion of the first extending portion in the first direction and fixed to the first restraint plate; and

a first engagement portion provided in a second end portion that is another end portion of the first extending portion in the first direction and engaged with the second restraint plate so as to be movable in the first direction and the second direction when the power storage modules expand and contract.

2 . The power storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the guide member further includes a second extending portion connected to the wiring guide portion at a position spaced apart from the first extending portion in the second direction and extending in the first direction,

wherein the first extending portion is provided at a place closer to the second side surface than the second extending portion, and

wherein the second extending portion includes:

a second fixing portion provided in a third end portion that is one end portion of the second extending portion in the first direction and fixed to the first restraint plate, and

a second engagement portion provided in a fourth end portion that is another end portion of the second extending portion in the first direction and engaged with the second restraint plate so as to be movable in the first direction and the second direction.

3 . The power storage device according to claim 2 , further comprising a duct covering the first side surface and forming a space between the duct and the first side surface, wherein a cooling fluid flows along the second direction in the space,

wherein the wiring guide portion divides the space in the first direction by a leg portion protruding in the third direction toward the first side surface.

4 . The power storage device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the wiring guide portion is spaced apart from each of the first end portion and the second end portion in the first direction and is spaced apart from each of the third end portion and the fourth end portion in the first direction.

5 . The power storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first restraint plate includes a first edge portion adjacent to the module stacked body in the third direction when viewed in the first direction,

wherein the wiring guide portion is disposed on the first edge portion and extends in the second direction along the first edge portion,

the wiring guide portion is connected to the first end portion close to a fifth end portion that is one end portion of the wiring guide portion in the second direction, and

the wiring guide portion includes a third fixing portion provided in a sixth end portion that is another end portion of the wiring guide portion in the second direction and fixed to the first restraint plate, and

wherein the fifth end portion is provided at a place closer to the second side surface than the sixth end portion.

6 . The power storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a plurality of the guide members are provided side by side in the second direction.

7 . The power storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the guide member includes a wiring bundling portion bundling a plurality of the wirings together on the first side surface.

8 . The power storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the module stacked body further includes a current collector electrically connecting the power storage modules adjacent to each other in the first direction and provided between the power storage modules adjacent to each other in the first direction, and

wherein the current collector is provided with a flow channel through which a cooling fluid flows along the third direction.

9 . The power storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second restraint plate includes a second edge portion adjacent to the module stacked body in the third direction when viewed in the first direction,

wherein the second edge portion includes:

an inner surface facing the guide member in the first direction, and

a recessed portion opening on the inner surface and extending in the second direction, and

wherein the first engagement portion is press-fitted into the recessed portion.

10 . The power storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first fixing portion is inserted through a penetration hole penetrating the first restraint plate in the first direction or a penetration hole penetrating the first restraint plate in the third direction.

11 . The power storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the wiring is connected to at least one of a voltage detector and a temperature detector disposed between the power storage modules adjacent to each other in the first direction.

12 . The power storage device according to claim 1 further comprising a wiring bending portion provided in an end portion of the wiring guide portion and bending the wiring from the first side surface toward the second side surface, the end portion being close to the second side surface.
