Wire routing structure and busbar module
A wire routing structure includes a case, a wire routing groove formed in the case, a first wire accommodated in the wire routing groove, a second wire one end of which a connection terminal is attached, and a hinge cover connected to the case via a hinge portion. The hinge cover includes a wire holding portion that holds the second wire. The hinge portion positions in an opposite side of the connection terminal while interposing the first wire between the hinge portion and the connection terminal, and positioned below the second wire.
1. A wire routing structure comprising:
a case made of an insulative resin;
a wire routing groove which is formed in the case;
a first wire accommodated in the wire routing groove;
a second wire which crosses the first wires over the wire routing groove and to one end of which a connection terminal is attached; and
a hinge cover that is integrally formed with the case, is connected to the case via a hinge portion, and covers the wire routing groove,
wherein the hinge cover includes a wire holding portion that is provided on a top surface of the hinge cover and holds the second wire, and
wherein the hinge portion positions in an opposite side of the connection terminal while interposing the first wire between the hinge portion and the connection terminal, and positioned below the second wire, such that the hinge portion is underneath and overlapped with the second wire.
2. The wire routing structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first wire is a
thin electric wire, and
wherein the second wire is a thick electric wire that is lager in diameter than the thin electric wire.
3. A busbar module comprising the wire routing structure according to claim 2 , wherein that the thin electric wire is a detection line,
wherein the thick electric wire is a power line,
wherein the case is attached to an assembled battery including a plurality cells, and
wherein a plurality of busbars are accommodated in the case, wherein each of the plurality of busbars connects electrodes of adjacent ones of the plurality of cells to each other.
4. The wire routing structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the hinge portion crosses with the second wire.
5. The wire routing structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the hinge portion and the first wire extend in a first direction, and
the second wire extends in a second direction, the second direction being different than the first direction.
6. The wire routing structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the first wire runs perpendicular to the second wire.
