Battery connection unit, and attachment structure for battery connection unit

An attachment structure for a battery connection unit including an electronic component that is electrically connected to a battery terminal that is physically and electrically connected to a battery post on a first surface of a battery, and that is electrically connected to a terminal of an electric wire, and an insulating support member that includes a first support body and a second support body that is continuous to the first support body in an intersected manner, and that supports the electronic component, wherein

• the first support body is disposed across a space in such a way that a first gap to the first surface becomes a first reference gap after attachment to the battery, includes a fixed section to be connected to a fixing section of the battery terminal, and includes, on a side facing the first surface, at least one first spring member that contacts the first surface while maintaining the first reference gap after attachment to the battery, and that is capable of deformation in a direction of reducing the first gap according to an external input,
• the second support body is disposed across a space in such a way that a second gap to a second surface of the battery intersecting the first surface becomes a second reference gap after attachment to the battery, includes a connection section to which the terminal of the electric wire extended outward is to be connected, and includes, on a side facing the second surface, at least one second spring member that contacts the second surface while maintaining the second reference gap after attachment to the battery, and that is capable of deformation in a direction of reducing the second gap according to an external input,
• the first spring member and the second spring member are each a flat spring that is formed into an arc,
• the first support body includes a first spring support section that is capable of supporting supported sections on both ends, in a circumferential direction, of the first spring member while relatively moving each of the supported sections according to the deformation,
• the second support body includes a second spring support section that is capable of supporting supported sections on both ends, in a circumferential direction, of the second spring member while relatively moving each of the supported sections according to the deformation,
• the at least one first spring member comprises a plurality of rectangular feet, and
• each of the rectangular feet are extended in opposite directions away from the arc and into cavities within the support member.
