Power storage module
In a stack, a plurality of power storage cells are stacked. A resin plate is placed on the stack. A flexible printed circuit board is placed on the resin plate and has an electric circuit electrically connected to the plurality of power storage cells. A thermistor element is provided on the electric circuit and is in contact with one power storage cell of the plurality of power storage cells to detect a temperature of the power storage cell. A cover member is provided on the resin plate to cover the flexible printed circuit board. An elastic body is located between the cover member and the thermistor element to press the thermistor element toward the power storage cell. The cover member includes a protuberance that protrudes toward the resin plate side. The elastic body is disposed on the protuberance.
1. A power storage module comprising:
a stack in which a plurality of power storage cells are stacked;
a resin plate placed on the stack;
a flexible printed circuit board placed on the resin plate and having an electric circuit electrically connected to the plurality of power storage cells;
a thermistor element provided on the electric circuit and in contact with one power storage cell of the plurality of power storage cells to detect a temperature of the power storage cell;
a cover member provided on the resin plate to cover the flexible printed circuit board, the cover member being composed of a resin; and
an elastic body located between the cover member and the thermistor element to press the thermistor element toward the power storage cell, wherein the cover member includes a protuberance that protrudes toward the resin plate side,
the elastic body is disposed on the protuberance, and
the protuberance is provided with a through hole that extends to a position to reach the elastic body from a side opposite to a side on which the elastic body is disposed.
2. The power storage module according to claim 1 , wherein in a state before the elastic body is sandwiched between the cover member and the thermistor element, a ratio of a size of a minimum width of the elastic body in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the elastic body is sandwiched between the cover member and the thermistor element, with respect to a size of a height of the elastic body in the direction in which the elastic body is sandwiched between the cover member and the thermistor element is more than or equal to 1.
3. The power storage module according to claim 2 , wherein colors of surfaces of the elastic body and the cover member are different from each other.
4. The power storage module according to claim 1 , wherein
the cover member is provided with an opening/closing window, and
a contact state between the elastic body and the thermistor element is visually recognizable with the opening/closing window being opened.
5. The power storage module according to claim 4 , wherein colors of surfaces of the elastic body and the cover member are different from each other.
6. The power storage module according to claim 2 , wherein
the cover member is provided with an opening/closing window, and
a contact state between the elastic body and the thermistor element is visually recognizable with the opening/closing window being opened.
7. The power storage module according to claim 6 , wherein colors of surfaces of the elastic body and the cover member are different from each other.
8. The power storage module according to claim 1 , wherein colors of surfaces of the elastic body and the cover member are different from each other.
