Abstract
A battery-pack case includes the following: a metal base; a container that has an opening in the top surface thereof, accommodates a battery pack, and is affixed to the metal base; a lid that closes the opening in the container; a positive-electrode bus bar and a negative-electrode bus bar provided on an exterior surface of the container, with a conductive member connected to each of the bus bars; and a plurality of wires that lead inside the container from the outside thereof. The wires are routed between the positive-electrode bus bar and the negative-electrode bus bar so as not to interfere with the aforementioned conductive members.
Claims10
A battery assembly container comprising:
- a metal base frame;
- a box body fixed to the base frame, the box body including an opening in an upper surface of the box body, and accommodating a battery assembly;
- a lid body configured to close the opening of the box body;
- a positive electrode external terminal and a negative electrode external terminal provided for one outer surface of the box body, and connected to electrically conductive members, respectively;
- a plurality of wiring lines extending from outside of the box body to inside of the box body;
- a terminal frame provided on the base frame and connected to the plurality of wiring lines;
- and
- a vacuum sensor and a vacuum seal plug used for adjusting a degree of vacuum inside the box body are provided in the outer surface of the box body, at positions between the positive electrode external terminal and the negative electrode external terminal,
- wherein the plurality of wiring lines are provided between the positive electrode external terminal and the negative electrode external terminal at a position where no interference with the electrically conductive members occurs, and
- wherein the position where no interference with the electrically conductive members occurs represents a position where a projected area of the plurality of wiring lines on the base frame does not overlap with projected areas of the electrically conductive members on the base frame, the electrically conductive members being connected to the positive electrode external terminal and the negative electrode external terminal, respectively.
