Abstract

A wire arrangement body includes: a wire arrangement groove portion of a groove shape that receives one or more wires; a lid portion that is rotatably connected to the wire arrangement groove portion about a first hinge and covers the wire arrangement groove portion so as to seal a groove opening of the wire arrangement groove portion; and a wire drawing piece that is rotatably connected to the lid portion about a second hinge. The wire arrangement body is provided so that a rotation axis of the second hinge crosses at a right angle to a rotation axis of the first hinge.

Claims (16)

1. A wire arrangement body, comprising:

a wire arrangement groove portion of a groove shape that receives one or more wires;

a lid portion that is rotatably connected to the wire arrangement groove portion about a first hinge and covers the wire arrangement groove portion so as to seal a groove opening of the wire arrangement groove portion, the lid portion including a first portion, a second portion, and a gap between the first portion and the second portion; and

a wire drawing piece that faces the gap and is rotatably connected about a second hinge to an end portion of the first portion of the lid portion,

wherein at least one wire is taken out from the wire arrangement groove portion through the gap and supported along the wire drawing piece, and

wherein the wire arrangement body is provided so that a rotation axis of the second hinge crosses at a right angle to a rotation axis of the first hinge.

2. A busbar module, comprising:

a plurality of busbars that connect respective batteries of a battery assembly having a plurality of batteries to each other;

a plurality of wires that is connected to the respective batteries through the plurality of busbars; and

a wire arrangement body as defined in claim 1 , that receives the plurality of wires.

3. A power-supply unit, comprising:

a battery assembly having a plurality of batteries; and

a busbar module as defined in claim 2 , that is attached in an overlapping manner to the battery assembly and connects the respective batteries to each other.

4. The wire arrangement body according to claim 1 , wherein the wire drawing piece is provided at an end portion of the lid portion which is orthogonal to the rotation axis of the first hinge.

5. The wire arrangement body according to claim 1 , wherein the wire drawing piece is arranged by overlapping with the lid portion so that the at least one wire fixed to the wire drawing piece follows along an extending direction of the first hinge.

6. The wire arrangement body according to claim 1 , wherein the gap completely separates the first portion of the lid from the second portion of the lid.
