Abstract
Provided is a current branching device for branching a current and supplying the current to a plurality of supply destinations, including a branch member welded to a main conductive wire at an intermediate portion of the main conductive wire for supplying a current to one supply destination, and at least one branch conductive wire welded to the branch member, for supplying a current to another supply destination.
Claims7
A current branching device for branching a current and supplying the current to a plurality of supply destinations, comprising:
- a branch member including a main line fixing portion and a branch fixing portion, wherein the main line fixing portion includes a bottom plate, an intermediate plate, and a first side plate, wherein the bottom plate, the intermediate plate, and the first side plate are planar members and the bottom plate is interposed between a bottom of both the intermediate plate and the first side plate and is orthogonal to both the intermediate plate and the first side plate, and wherein the branch fixing portion includes a top plate and a second side plate that are planar members, wherein the top plate is connected to a top of the intermediate plate and a top of the second side plate, at least one of the bottom plate, the intermediate plate and the first side plate of the main line fixing portion welded to a main conductive wire at an intermediate portion of the main conductive wire for supplying a current to one supply destination;
- and
- at least one branch conductive member welded to at least one of the second side plate and top plate of the branch fixing branch member, for supplying a current to another supply destination that is different from the one supply destination.
