Abstract
An energy storage apparatus includes: a plurality of energy storage devices; a spacer unit having one or more spacers disposed between the energy storage devices or on sides of the energy storage devices; and a plurality of members disposed above the energy storage devices and the spacer unit (a bus bar frame, a heat shielding plate, a holder), wherein the spacer unit has a plurality of locking portions, the locking portions being configured to lock the members, respectively.
Claims20
An energy storage apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of energy storage devices;
- a spacer unit having one or more spacers disposed between the energy storage devices or on sides of the energy storage devices;
- and
- a plurality of members disposed above the energy storage devices and the spacer unit, the plurality of members including at least one of a bus bar frame, a heat shielding plate and a holder,
- wherein the spacer unit has a plurality of locking portions, the locking portions being configured to lock the members, respectively.
An energy storage apparatus comprising:
- an energy storage device;
- a sensor mounted on the energy storage device;
- and
- a first member disposed in an opposedly facing manner with the energy storage device,
- wherein the first member has:
- a first engaging portion disposed as to sandwich the sensor in cooperation with the energy storage device, the first engaging portion being configured to engage with the sensor;
- and
- a first biasing portion which is connected to the first engaging portion and is configured to apply a force on the sensor in a direction toward the energy storage device.
An energy storage apparatus comprising:
- an energy storage device;
- a sensor mounted on the energy storage device;
- a first member disposed in an opposedly facing manner with the energy storage device;
- and
- a second member disposed between the energy storage device and the first member,
- wherein the sensor is oriented in a direction which intersects with the first member, and
- the first member comprises:
- a first engaging portion disposed as to sandwich the sensor in cooperation with the energy storage device, the first engaging portion being configured to engage with the sensor;
- and
- a first biasing portion which is connected to the first engaging portion and is configured to apply a force on the sensor in a direction toward the energy storage device, and
- the first engaging portion is configured to engage with an upper surface of the sensor.
A method of manufacturing an energy storage apparatus which includes an energy storage device and a sensor mounted on the energy storage device, the method comprising:
- disposing a first engaging portion of a first member which is disposed in an opposedly facing manner with the energy storage device at a position where the first engaging portion sandwiches the sensor in cooperation with the energy storage device;
- making the first engaging portion of the first member engage with the sensor;
- and
- applying a force on the sensor in a direction toward the energy storage device by a first biasing portion of the first member, the first member being connected to the first engaging portion.
