Abstract

A structure for fixing an electrical junction box is provided which makes it possible to fix the same electrical junction box, irrespective of the sizes, shapes and the like of batteries, and to commonly use the electrical junction box. The structure includes a bracket including a junction box fixing part which fixes the electrical junction box and a battery fixing part which is fixed to the battery. The electrical junction box is fixed to the battery via the bracket.

Claims (15)

1. A structure for fixing an electrical junction box which is configured to be fixed to a battery post of a battery, comprising:

a bracket including a junction box fixing part which fixes the electrical junction box and a battery fixing part which is configured to be fixed to the battery,

wherein the electrical junction box is configured to be fixed to the battery via the bracket, as a result of being fixed the bracket is positioned in between the battery and the electrical junction box in a fixing direction;

wherein the battery fixing part has locking walls which project downwardly in the fixing direction from the bracket toward the battery and are positioned on different sides of the bracket,

wherein the locking walls are configured to be locked to and in contact with side wall surfaces of the battery on different sides of the battery,

wherein the bracket has a lower surface which is adjacent to an upper surface of the battery in the fixing direction as a result of the battery fixing part being fixed to the battery, and

wherein the locking walls of the battery fixing part project downwardly in the fixing direction from the lower surface of the bracket, the lower surface of the bracket being below the junction box fixing part in the fixing direction.

2. The structure for fixing the electrical junction box according to claim 1 ,

wherein the junction box fixing part includes a plurality of slide locking walls, and the electrical junction box is slidingly inserted into and fixed to the plurality of slide locking walls.

3. The structure for fixing the electrical junction box according to claim 1 ,

wherein the different sides of the bracket are perpendicular to each other, and the side wall surfaces of the battery are perpendicular to each other.

4. The structure for fixing the electrical junction box according to claim 1 ,

wherein the junction box fixing part extends upwardly in the fixing direction from the bracket, in a direction opposite to a downward direction in the fixing direction in which the battery fixing part extends.

5. The structure for fixing the electrical junction box according to claim 4 ,

wherein the junction box fixing part extends upwardly from a first surface of the bracket and the battery fixing part extends downwardly from the lower surface of the bracket.
