Assembling structure of bus bar
View Patent ↗An assembling structure of bus bar is composed of a bus bar and a housing with which the bus bar is assembled. The bus bar is provided with a base portion extended in a band shape, a rectangular-plate-shaped press-fitting piece extended in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the base portion from one end of the base portion, and an extended portion extended from the one end of the base portion and perpendicular to the press-fitting piece. The housing is provided with a press-fitting hole into which the press-fitting piece is to be press-fitted. Further, while the press-fitting piece is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole, the base portion and the extended portion abut on an outer periphery of the press-fitting hole.
1. An assembling structure of bus bar comprising:
a bus bar; and
a housing,
wherein the bus bar is provided with:
a base portion extending in a band shape,
a rectangular-plate-shaped press-fitting piece extending from the base portion and extending in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the base portion, and
an extended portion being a part of the base portion extending beyond an intersection of the rectangular-plate-shaped press-fitting piece and the base portion, and the extended portion ending in the longitudinal direction at an end face,
wherein the housing is provided with a longitudinal direction of a press-fitting hole into which the press-fitting piece is to be press-fitted in a longitudinal direction of the base portion and provided with a groove into which a part of the base portion in a vicinity of the press-fitting piece is inserted,
wherein the press-fitting hole comprises: an opening; a bottom face; and four tapered faces provided adjacent to the opening, and is formed smaller than a thickness of the press-fitting piece in a thickness direction of the press-fitting piece, and
wherein while the press-fitting piece is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole, the base portion and the extended portion individually abut on a bottom of the groove at two locations in the longitudinal direction of the press-fitting hole, and a side of the extended portion located in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction avoids abutting on the housing.
2. The assembling structure of bus bar according claim 1 , wherein an end face in a width direction of the base portion and an end face in a width direction of the extended portion abut on a bottom face of a groove formed on the outer periphery of the press-fitting hole.
3. The assembling structure of bus bar according claim 2 , wherein the base portion and the extended portion abut on the outer periphery of the press-fitting hole only at the bottom face of the groove.
