Abstract

An electrical storage module in which a plurality of electricity storage elements are electrically connected by conductive member, includes: a voltage detection board having voltage detection conductor that detects terminal voltage of the electricity storage element; a first external threaded component that connects the voltage detection conductor of the voltage detection board to the conductive member; and a cover that covers the voltage detection board; wherein: the cover is made from an insulating material; the conductive member has a first internal threaded portion into which the first external threaded component is to be screwingly engaged; and the distance between the inside surface of the cover that faces a head portion of the first external threaded component and an upper surface of the head portion of the first external threaded component is shorter than the distance between an end portion of the first internal threaded portion towards the cover side and an end of shaft portion of the first external threaded component.

Claims (15)

1. An electrical storage module in which a plurality of electricity storage elements are electrically connected by a conductive member, comprising:

a voltage detection board having a voltage detection conductor that detects terminal voltage of the electricity storage elements;

a first external threaded component that connects the voltage detection conductor of the voltage detection board to the conductive member; and

a cover that covers the voltage detection board;

wherein:

the cover is made from an insulating material;

the conductive member has a first internal threaded portion into which the first external threaded component is to be screwingly engaged; and

the distance between the inside surface of the cover that faces a head portion of the first external threaded component and an upper surface of the head portion of the first external threaded component is shorter than the distance between an end portion of the first internal threaded portion towards the cover side and an end of shaft portion of the first external threaded component.

2. An electrical storage module according to claim 1 , wherein

a convex portion is provided upon the cover at a position that opposes the head portion of the first external threaded component, projecting towards the first external threaded component.

3. An electrical storage module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a housing member that houses the plurality of electricity storage elements; and

a second external threaded component that attaches the voltage detection board to the housing member; and wherein:

the housing member is made from an insulating material, and has a second internal threaded portion into which the second external threaded component is to be screwingly engaged; and

the distance between an inside surface of the cover that faces a head portion of the second external threaded component and an upper surface of the head portion of the second external threaded component is shorter than the distance between an end portion of the second internal threaded portion towards the cover side and an end of shaft portion of the second external threaded component.
