Abstract

A voltage detection unit includes a voltage detection terminal configured to be conductively connected to a detection target, an electric wire conductively connected to the voltage detection terminal and a housing having a plate shape and including a terminal accommodating concave configured to accommodate the voltage detection terminal, an electric wire accommodating concave defined by a first groove side wall, a second groove side wall and a groove bottom surface, and configured to accommodate the electric wire and to guide the electric wire out of the housing and an electric wire restricting portion configured to hold the electric wire between the electric wire restricting portion and the groove bottom surface and to prevent the electric wire from being displaced out of the electric wire accommodating concave.

Claims (12)

1. A voltage detection unit comprising:

a voltage detection terminal configured to be conductively connected to a detection target;

an electric wire conductively connected to the voltage detection terminal; and

a housing having a plate shape and including: a terminal accommodating concave configured to accommodate the voltage detection terminal; an electric wire accommodating concave defined by a first groove side wall, a second groove side wall and a groove bottom surface, and configured to accommodate the electric wire and to guide the electric wire out of the housing; and an electric wire restricting portion configured to hold the electric wire between the electric wire restricting portion and the groove bottom surface and to prevent the electric wire from being displaced out of the electric wire accommodating concave.

2. The voltage detection unit according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cover configured to be attached to the housing and to cover the voltage detection terminal accommodated in the terminal accommodating concave and the electric wire accommodated in the electric wire accommodating concave, and including a protruding portion protruding in a first direction in which the cover is attached to the housing,

wherein the electric wire restricting portion protrudes from the first groove side wall toward the second groove side wall,

wherein the second groove side wall includes a communication portion communicating an inner space of the electric wire accommodating concave defined by the first groove side wall, the second groove side wall and the groove bottom surface and an outside of the housing to each other, and

wherein the cover is configured such that, as the cover is being attached to the housing, the protruding portion is inserted into the electric wire accommodating concave through the communication portion and approaches the electric wire restricting portion, thereby preventing the electric wire from being displaced out of a space between the electric wire restricting portion and the groove bottom surface.

3. The voltage detection unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electric wire accommodating concave includes a bent portion configured to guide the electric wire such that the electric wire is bent in a convex shape with respect to a second direction defined by a straight line connecting the voltage detection terminal and an electric wire draw-out opening of the housing, and

wherein the electric wire restricting portion is disposed such that the electric wire restricting portion holds the electric wire between the electric wire restricting portion and the groove bottom surface at an apex of the bent portion.
