Abstract

A cable extra length absorbing structure includes a pair of cable clamps. The pair of cable clamps are disposed at a predetermined interval on one side portion of one structural member or one side portions arranged on the same side in two structural members. The pair of cable clamps respectively include cable holding portions arranged on a path in which a cable is configured to be wired. Tach of the cable holding portions includes a holding space. The cable holding portions are disposed in an axis shift state in which a center axis of one holding portion is shifted with respect to a center axis of the other holding portion.

Claims (19)

1. A cable extra length absorbing structure comprising:

a pair of cable clamps,

wherein the pair of cable clamps are disposed at a predetermined interval on one side portion of one structural member or one side portions arranged on the same side in two structural members,

wherein the pair of cable clamps respectively include cable holding portions arranged on a path in which a cable is configured to be wired such that the cable extends from one of the pair of cable clamps to another one of the pair of cable clamps so as to be disposed therebetween when the cable is clamped by the pair of cable clamps,

wherein each of the cable holding portions includes a holding space,

wherein the cable holding portions are disposed in an axis shift state in which a center axis of one holding portion is shifted with respect to a center axis of the other holding portion, and

wherein the center axes are parallel to each other.

2. The cable extra length absorbing structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a hang-down preventing portion preventing the cable from hanging down between the pair of cable clamps disposed at the predetermined interval.

3. A bus bar module comprising:

a plurality of bus bars connecting adjacent batteries of a battery assembly including a plurality of batteries in series; and

a resin plate including a plurality of bus bar accommodation parts which accommodate and fix the bus bars and which are arranged in the longitudinal direction,

wherein the resin plate is a structural member in the cable extra length absorbing structure according to claim 1 , and

wherein the resin plate is provided with the pair of cable clamps having the pair of cable holding portions disposed in the axis shift state in the cable extra length absorbing structure.

4. The cable extra length absorbing structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the pair of cable clamps includes the cable holding portion and a movable clamping portion, and

wherein the movable clamping portion is movable away from the cable holding portion to an opened position and movable toward the cable holding portion to a closed position.

5. The cable extra length absorbing structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the center axis of the one holding portion deviates with respect to the center axis of the other holding portion by a predetermined linear dimension.
