Bolt support structure
View Patent ↗There is provided a bolt support structure which can absorb displacement of a bus bar and prevent the bus bar from bending during fastening of bolt, having a bolt including a head portion and a shaft portion and a mount portion to which the head portion is mounted movable in an axial direction of the shaft portion. The mount portion includes a bottom and upper plates between which a large-diameter portion of the head portion is positioned. The shaft portion and a small-diameter portion of the head portion are passed through a notch of the upper plate. A gap between the bottom and upper plates is larger than the thickness of the large-diameter portion. After the head portion is mounted to the mount portion, the nut is attached to the shaft portion so that the bus bar and the terminal clamp are sandwiched between the head portion and the nut.
1. A bolt and a bus bar support structure comprising
a bolt having a head portion and a shaft portion,
a bus bar comprising an orthogonally-bent portion, and
a mount portion to which the head portion of the bolt is mounted,
wherein
after the head portion of the bolt is mounted to the mount portion, a nut is attached to the shaft portion of the bolt so as to sandwich the bus bar and a terminal clamp between the head portion of the bolt and the nut,
the head portion of the bolt and the bus bar are mounted to the mount portion such that the head portion and the bus bar are allowed to move in an axial direction of the shaft portion with respect to the mount portion,
the head portion of the bolt is composed of a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion,
the mount portion includes a bottom plate and an upper plate arranged to position an outer periphery portion of the large-diameter portion between the upper plate and the bottom plate,
the shaft portion and the small-diameter portion are passed through a notch formed at the upper plate of the mount portion, and
a gap between the bottom plate and the upper plate of the mount portion is formed larger than the thickness of the outer periphery portion of the large-diameter portion.
