Assembling structure of current detection apparatus

1. An assembling structure of a current detection apparatus comprising:

a bus bar;

a sensor main body having a magnetism detection element which detects a magnetism generated from the bus bar and adapted to calculate a value of a current which flows through the bus bar based on the detected magnetism;

a housing having a sensor compartment which accommodates the sensor main body, wherein a lower surface of the housing faces one of surfaces of the bus bar;

a magnetism shield member mounted externally on the housing so that the sensor main body and the bus bar are positioned in an interior of the magnetism shield member;

a cover at least part of an upper surface of which faces the other surface of the bus bar, so as to hold the bus bar and the magnetism shield member by the at least part of the upper surface of the cover and the lower surface of the housing therebetween;

a projecting portion formed on the cover, which projects upwards from the upper surface of the cover;

a hole formed in the bus bar, through which the projecting portion of the cover is inserted when the bus bar and the magnetism shield member are held by the at least part of the upper surface of the cover and the lower surface of the housing; and

a hole formed in the lower surface of the housing, which is adapted to fit on the projecting portion which passes through the hole in the bus bar when the bus bar and the magnetism shield member are held by the at least part of the upper surface of the cover and the lower house of the housing.

2. The assembling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

the projecting portion of the cover is formed by a screw which penetrates through the cover from the lower surface towards the upper surface of the cover.

3. The assembling structure as set forth in claim 1 , comprising a spacer which covers an opening in the sensor compartment which is made to open in the lower surface of the housing, wherein

the spacer is held by the housing and the bus bar therebetween when the bus bar and the magnetism shield member are held by the at least part of the upper surface of the cover and the lower surface of the housing excluding the opening to thereby fix the sensor main body accommodated in the sensor compartment in place in the sensor compartment.

4. The assembling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion, the hole in the bus bar, and the hole in the housing are provided in two, respectively, and

the two projecting portions, the two holes in the bus bar, and the two holes in the housing are disposed at both sides of the current detection apparatus, to arrange the sensor compartment therebetween.

a projecting portion formed on the housing, which projects downwards from the lower surface of the housing;

a hole formed in the bus bar, through which the projecting portion of the housing is inserted when the bus bar and the magnetism shield member are held by the at least part of the upper surface of the cover and the lower surface of the housing; and

a hole formed in the upper surface of the cover, which is adapted to fit on the projecting portion which passes through the hole in the bus bar when the bus bar and the magnetism shield member are held by the at least part of the upper surface of the cover and the lower house of the housing.

6. The assembling structure as set forth in claim 5 , wherein

the hole formed in the cover is formed so as to extend from the upper surface to the lower surface of the cover, and

the projecting portion of the housing is provided to project from the lower surface of the housing, and a distal end portion of the projecting portion which passes through the hole in the bus bar and the hole in the cover is thermally welded in the holes in the cover.

7. The assembling structure as set forth in claim 5 , comprising a spacer which covers an opening in the sensor compartment which is made to open in the lower surface of the housing, wherein

the spacer is held by the housing and the bus bar therebetween when the bus bar and the magnetism shield member are held by the at least part of the upper surface of the cover and the lower surface of the housing excluding the opening to thereby fix the sensor main body accommodated in the sensor compartment in place in the sensor compartment.

8. The assembling structure as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the projecting portion, the hole in the bus bar, and the hole in the cover are provided in two, respectively, and

the two projecting portions, the two holes in the bus bar, and the two holes in the cover are disposed at both sides of the current detection apparatus, to arrange the sensor compartment therebetween.
