Component unit, fusible link unit, and affixing structure for the component
View Patent ↗Provided is a fusible link unit in which a case includes case-side locking portions to be locked in a fusible link so as to affix the fusible link, the fusible link includes fusible link-side locking portions locked in the case-side locking portions, the fusible link-side locking portion on one side in a longitudinal direction is provided closer to a connected position of a bus bar than the fusible link-side locking portion on the other side in the longitudinal direction, and a gap size between the fusible link-side locking portion on the one side and the case-side locking portion in a vertical direction is made greater than a gap size between the fusible link-side locking portion on the other side and the case-side locking portion in the vertical direction.
1. A fusible link unit comprising:
a fusible link;
a bus bar; and
a case accommodating the fusible link, wherein the bus bar has one end connected to a battery and the other end coming into contact with and connected to a connected position on one surface of the fusible link, both the one surface of the fusible link and a lower surface opposed to the one surface thereof are positioned between the battery and the bus bar, and the fusible link is affixed to the battery via the case installed in the battery,
wherein the case includes a pair of case-side locking portions being locked in the fusible link so as to affix the fusible link,
wherein the fusible link includes a pair of fusible link-side locking portions to be locked in the pair of case-side locking portions, and one of the fusible link-side locking portions is provided closer to the connected position than the other of the fusible link-side locking portions, and
wherein a gap size between the one of the fusible link-side locking portions and one of the case-side locking portions locked in the one of the fusible link-side locking portions in a vertical direction with respect to the one surface of the fusible link is made greater than a gap size between the other of the fusible link-side locking portions and the other of the case-side locking portions locked in the other of the fusible link-side locking portions in the vertical direction.
2. The fusible link according to claim 1 ,
wherein the case-side locking portions include vertically arranged portions vertically arranged in the vertical direction and hook portions provided at distal ends of the vertically arranged portions, and
wherein the hook portions are formed to protrude toward a side of the fusible link in a direction intersecting the vertical direction.
3. The fusible link unit according to claim 2 , wherein the fusible link further includes a guide rib extending along the vertical direction on a surface facing the case-side locking portions, and wherein the case further includes a groove into which the guide rib is inserted.
4. The fusible link unit according to claim 1 , wherein the fusible link further includes a guide rib extending along the vertical direction on a surface facing the case-side locking portions, and wherein the case further includes a groove into which the guide rib is inserted.
5. A fusible link unit comprising:
a fusible link;
a bus bar; and
a case accommodating the fusible link,
wherein the bus bar has one end connected to a battery and the other end coming into contact with and connected to a connected position on one surface of the fusible link, both the one surface of the fusible link and a lower surface opposed to the one surface thereof are positioned between the object for affixing and the bus bar, and the fusible link is affixed to the battery via the case installed in the object for affixing,
wherein the case includes a pair of case-side locking portions locked in the fusible link to affix the fusible link,
wherein the fusible link includes a pair of fusible link-side locking portions locked in the pair of case-side locking portions, and one of the fusible link-side locking portions is provided closer to the connected position than the other of the fusible link side locking portions, and
wherein a gap size between the one of the fusible link-side locking portions and one of the case-side locking portions locked in the one of the fusible link-side locking portions in a vertical direction with respect to the one surface of the fusible link is made greater than a gap size between the other of the fusible link-side locking portions and the other of the case-side locking portions locked in the other of the fusible link-side locking portions in the vertical direction.
6. An affixing structure in which both one surface of a fusible link and a lower surface opposed to the one surface thereof are positioned between a battery and a bus bar having one end connected to the battery and the other end coming into contact with and connected to a connected position on one surface of the fusible link, and the fusible link is affixed to the battery through a case installed in the object for affixing,
wherein the case includes a pair of case-side locking portions locked in the fusible link to affix the fusible link,
wherein the fusible link includes a pair of fusible link-side locking portions locked in the pair of case-side locking portions, and one of the fusible link-side locking portions is provided closer to the connected position than the other of the fusible link-side locking portions, and
wherein a gap size between the one of the fusible link-side locking portions and one of the case-side locking portions locked in the one of the fusible link-side locking portions in a vertical direction with respect to the one surface of the fusible link is made greater than a gap size between the other of the fusible link-side locking portions and the other of the case-side locking portions locked in the other of the fusible link-side locking portions in the vertical direction.
