Temperature measurement device for attachement to a housing, for example, a battery case
Provided is a temperature measurement device including: a case; a flexible printed circuit board attached to the case; a pressing plate; and an elastic body, in which: the flexible printed circuit board includes a thermistor element region; the elastic body is interposed between the thermistor element region and the pressing plate; the pressing plate is configured to press the thermistor element region through the elastic body; the case has a through-hole; as viewed in a direction of pressing the thermistor element region by the pressing plate, the thermistor element region and the elastic body are positioned within an area where the through-hole is provided; and the thermistor element region is configured to protrude, through the through-hole, from an attachment surface side of the case attached to the flexible printed circuit board toward a surface side of the case opposite to the attachment surface side.
1 . A temperature measurement device comprising:
a case;
a flexible printed circuit board attached to the case;
a pressing plate; and
an elastic body,
wherein the flexible printed circuit board includes a thermistor element region,
the elastic body is interposed between the thermistor element region and the pressing plate,
the pressing plate is configured to press the thermistor element region through the elastic body,
the case has a through-hole,
as viewed in a direction of pressing the thermistor element region by the pressing plate, the thermistor element region and the elastic body are positioned within an area where the through-hole is provided, and
the thermistor element region is configured to protrude, through the through-hole, from an attachment surface side of the case attached to the flexible printed circuit board toward a surface side of the case opposite to the attachment surface side.
2 . The temperature measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein
the flexible printed circuit board has a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole,
the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are each provided on one side and another side of the thermistor element region,
the case or the pressing plate has protrusions each corresponding to the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole,
the protrusions are each inserted into the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole, by which the flexible printed circuit board is positioned on the case or the pressing plate, and
one of the first positioning hole or the second positioning hole is a long hole.
3 . The temperature measurement device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a holding member,
wherein the holding member has a stopper, and is configured to hold the thermistor element region, and
the stopper is configured to reduce dropping of the holding member to the surface side of the case opposite to the attachment surface side through the through-hole.
4 . The temperature measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein
the flexible printed circuit board further has, in addition to a line connected to a thermistor element, a line for measuring a voltage of a measurement target.
5 . The temperature measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein
the elastic body is configured to press the thermistor element region to protrude through the through-hole.
6 . The temperature measurement device according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressing plate presses the thermistor element region from outside the case.
