Abstract

A busbar plate includes a busbar plate main body and total plus/minus terminal blocks. The busbar plate main body includes a terminal accommodating chamber part having a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers. The total plus/minus terminal blocks are externally attached to terminal accommodating chambers at two ends of the busbar plate respectively, and are formed of terminal block main bodies and busbars. One ends of the busbars are fastened to total plus/minus terminals in the terminal accommodating chambers at the two ends, the other ends of the busbars are fastened to an adjacent module or a connecting busbar of an external equipment. Flexible resin material is used for the busbar plate main body, and high strength resin material is used for the terminal block main bodies.

Claims (10)

1. A busbar plate comprising:

a busbar plate main body, including a terminal accommodating chamber part having a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers, accommodating a conductive metal plate which connects a plus terminal of a battery and a minus terminal of an adjacent battery in each of the terminal accommodating chambers, and connecting the terminal accommodating chambers which are separately provided along a longitudinal direction of the terminal accommodating chamber part and are adjacent to each other by U-shaped elastic connecting members; and

total plus/minus terminal blocks, which are externally attached to the terminal accommodating chambers at two ends respectively, and which are formed of terminal block main bodies and busbars,

wherein

one ends of the busbars are fastened to total plus/minus terminals in the terminal accommodating chambers at the two ends, the other ends of the busbars are fastened to an adjacent module or a connecting busbar of an external equipment, and

flexible resin material is used for the busbar plate main body, and high strength resin material is used for the terminal block main bodies.

2. The busbar plate according to claim 1 , wherein

the terminal block main body is formed with a press-fitting groove into which the busbar is inserted.

3. The busbar plate according to claim 1 , wherein

a temporary holding projection, which is used to temporarily hold a mating component when the busbar plate is attached to the mating component, is formed at the upper part of the surface of the terminal block main body that faces the mating component.
