Abstract

A battery wiring module that can improve workability when covers are to be opened. A cover includes a cover body portion coupled to a housing so as to be pivotable between a closed position and an open position, and a cover lock portion locked to a housing lock portion when the cover body portion is at the closed position. The housing lock portion includes an elastic piece located so as to face an outer surface of a fourth wall portion of the wiring housing portion, and is elastically deformable in a direction away from and a direction toward the fourth wall portion, and a lock protrusion that protrudes from the elastic piece in the direction toward the fourth wall portion. The cover lock portion is locked to the lock protrusion in the state of being inserted between the fourth wall portion and the elastic piece.

Claims (14)

1. A battery wiring module comprising:

wiring that is to be electrically connected to an on-board secondary battery;

a housing that is to be attached to the secondary battery and includes a wiring housing portion that houses the wiring; and

a cover that includes a cover body portion that is coupled to the housing so as to be pivotable between a closed position at which the cover body portion closes an opening of the wiring housing portion and an open position at which the cover body portion does not close the opening, and a cover lock portion that extends from the cover body portion and is locked to a housing lock portion when the cover body portion is at the closed position, the housing lock portion being provided on the housing,

wherein the housing lock portion includes an elastic piece that is located so as to face an outer surface of a side wall of the wiring housing portion, and is elastically deformable in a direction away from and a direction toward the side wall, and a lock protrusion that protrudes from the elastic piece in the direction toward the side wall, and

the cover lock portion is locked to the lock protrusion in a state of being inserted between the side wall and the elastic piece, wherein the side wall restricts the cover lock portion from moving in a direction in which the lock protrusion protrudes.

2. The battery wiring module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the housing is provided with a restriction wall portion that faces an outer surface of the side wall,

the cover lock portion is located between the side wall and the restriction wall portion when the cover lock portion is in a state of being locked to the lock protrusion, and

the restriction wall portion restricts the cover lock portion from moving in a direction to deform the elastic piece in the direction away from the side wall.

3. The battery wiring module according to claim 2 ,

wherein the restriction wall portion is provided with a first protruding portion that protrudes toward the side wall.

4. The battery wiring module according to claim 1 ,

wherein the side wall is provided with a second protruding portion that protrudes toward the cover lock portion that is in a state of being locked to the housing lock portion.
