Abstract

An energy storage apparatus, which includes a plurality of energy storage devices, includes: a bus bar which connects the energy storage devices to each other; a wiring; a wiring positioning member, which includes a plurality of guide portions; and a connector holding member, wherein a part of the plurality of guide portions positions the connecting holding member, and wherein an other part of the plurality of guide portions forms a path of the wiring.

Claims (38)

1. An energy storage apparatus, which includes a plurality of energy storage devices, comprising:

a bus bar which connects the energy storage devices to each other;

a wiring;

a wiring positioning member which includes a plurality of guide portions;

a connector holding member,

a first circuit board to which a wiring is connected, the wiring being connected to the connector; and

a second circuit board to which a wiring is connected, the wiring being connected to an energy storage device of the plurality of energy storage devices,

wherein the first circuit board and the second circuit board are disposed apart from each other,

wherein a part of the plurality of guide portions positions the connector holding member, and

wherein an other part of the plurality of guide portions forms a path of the wiring which connects the first circuit board and the second circuit board.

2. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of guide portions includes a first guide portion and a second guide portion,

wherein the wiring positioning member includes:

a first wiring positioning member which includes the first guide portion; and

a second wiring positioning member which includes the second guide portion,

wherein a path of the wiring is formed by the first guide portion and the second guide portion which are opposite to each other with a boundary of the first wiring positioning member and the second wiring positioning member interposed therebetween.

3. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of guide portions includes a plurality of projections which projects upward.

4. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the connector holding member includes:

a first connector holding member with which a connector is attached; and

a second connector holding member, which has a same shape as the first connector holding member, has an opening, to which a connector is attachable, closed with a cover member.

5. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the first connector holding member is positioned by a guide portion which is provided at one end portion of the wiring positioning member, and

wherein the second connector holding member is positioned by a guide portion which is provided at an other end portion of the wiring positioning member.

6. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a lid body which is disposed on the wiring positioning member, and

wherein a tip of at least one of the plurality of guide portions and the lid body are in contact or adjacently face to each other.

7. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring positioning member comprises a pressing member which is disposed on an energy storage device of the plurality of energy storage devices and presses the energy storage device downward.

8. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a through hole is formed in the connector holding member, at least one of the plurality of guide portions being inserted through the through hole.

9. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the connector holding member and an outer surface of an outer case of the energy storage apparatus are disposed coplanar.

10. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of guide portions is disposed at a rotationally symmetric position.

11. The energy storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first circuit board and the second circuit board are disposed at members which are different from each other and included in the wiring positioning member.

12. An energy storage apparatus, which includes a plurality of energy storage devices, comprising:

a bus bar which connects the energy storage devices to each other;

a wiring;

a wiring positioning member which includes a plurality of guide portions; and

a connector holding member,

wherein a part of the plurality of guide portions positions the connector holding member,

wherein an other part of the plurality of guide portions forms a path of the wiring, and

wherein the connector holding member includes:

a first connector holding member with which a connector is attached; and

a second connector holding member, which has a same shape as the first connector holding member, has an opening, to which a connector is attachable, closed with a cover member.
