Conductor module
View Patent ↗A conductor module includes a wiring member, a plurality of bus bars, and a plurality of locking pieces. The wiring member is formed in a film shape with flexibility, and a plurality of wirings and through-holes are formed therein. The bus bar is electrically connected to one of two electrode terminals. The two through-holes are formed in a first opposing region opposing one end face between both end faces of the bus bar opposing each other in a width direction of the bus bar with an electrical connection portion where the bus bar and the wiring are electrically connected interposed therebetween when viewed from the width direction. The locking piece is formed integrally with the bus bar, is arranged in the through-hole, has a distal end positioned radially outward of the through-hole when viewed from an axial direction of the through-hole, and fixes the bus bar to the wiring member.
1. A conductor module comprising:
at least two or more connection conductors that are electrically connected to one of two electrode terminals of a battery cell in a battery module having a plurality of the battery cells;
a film-like wiring member having flexibility in which at least two or more detection conductors, which electrically connect the single connection conductor and a state detection device detecting a state of the battery cell electrically connected to the connection conductor, are formed; and
a fixing member that fixes the connection conductor to the wiring member, wherein
the wiring member has a connection conductor accommodating portion accommodating the connection conductor and a through-hole penetrating from a front surface to a back surface,
at least two of the through-holes are formed in a first opposing region of the wiring member, which opposes one end face between two end faces of the connection conductor opposing each other in an opposing direction of the connection conductors with an electrical connection portion where the connection conductor and the detection conductor are electrically connected interposed between the at least two of the through-holes when viewed from the opposing direction, and
the fixing member is fixed to the connection conductor in a state where relative movement with respect to the connection conductor is restricted, is arranged in the through-hole, and has a distal end positioned radially outward of the through-hole when viewed from an axial direction of the through-hole.
2. The conductor module according to claim 1 , wherein
the fixing member is formed integrally with the connection conductor and is a locking piece which is inserted into the through-hole to be arranged in the through-hole.
3. The conductor module according to claim 1 , wherein
the wiring member is formed with the connection conductor interposed therebetween in the opposing direction, and
one or more of the through-holes is further formed in a second opposing region of the wiring member which opposes the other end face between two end faces of the connection conductor opposing each other in the opposing direction.
4. The conductor module according to claim 2 , wherein
the wiring member is formed with the connection conductor interposed therebetween in the opposing direction, and
one or more of the through-holes is further formed in a second opposing region of the wiring member which opposes the other end face between two end faces of the connection conductor opposing each other in the opposing direction.
5. The conductor module according to claim 3 , wherein
two of the through-holes are formed in the first opposing region with the electrical connection portion interposed therebetween when viewed from the opposing direction, and
two of the through-holes are formed in the second opposing region with the electrical connecting portion interposed therebetween when viewed from the opposing direction.
6. The conductor module according to claim 4 , wherein
two of the through-holes are formed in the first opposing region with the electrical connection portion interposed therebetween when viewed from the opposing direction, and
two of the through-holes are formed in the second opposing region with the electrical connecting portion interposed therebetween when viewed from the opposing direction.
7. The conductor module according to claim 1 , wherein
a bent portion, which protrudes toward one of the front surface side and the back surface side, is formed in the wiring member between the adjacent connection conductors when viewed from the opposing direction.
8. The conductor module according to claim 2 , wherein
a bent portion, which protrudes toward one of the front surface side and the back surface side, is formed in the wiring member between the adjacent connection conductors when viewed from the opposing direction.
9. The conductor module according to claim 3 , wherein
a bent portion, which protrudes toward one of the front surface side and the back surface side, is formed in the wiring member between the adjacent connection conductors when viewed from the opposing direction.
10. The conductor module according to claim 4 , wherein
a bent portion, which protrudes toward one of the front surface side and the back surface side, is formed in the wiring member between the adjacent connection conductors when viewed from the opposing direction.
11. The conductor module according to claim 5 , wherein
a bent portion, which protrudes toward one of the front surface side and the back surface side, is formed in the wiring member between the adjacent connection conductors when viewed from the opposing direction.
