Abstract
A battery terminal cover includes a cover portion and a rotation stop portion. The rotation stop portion has a contact surface formed by chamfering. The contact surface is formed at a position out of a moving region of a mating connector with respect to a connector provided on the battery terminal. The contact surface contacts a corner part of a battery wall to regulate rotation of the battery terminal in a direction toward the battery wall. The contact surface is formed to absorb a dimensional tolerance between the battery post and a wall surface of the battery wall and a dimensional tolerance between the battery post and a side surface of the battery wall. The wall surface and the side surface forms the corner part.
Claims5
A battery terminal cover comprising:
- a cover portion to be attached to a battery terminal;
- and
- a rotation stop portion that is extended from the cover portion, and has a contact surface formed by chamfering, wherein
- in a state where the cover portion is attached to the battery terminal, when the battery terminal is assembled to a battery post standing on an upper surface of a battery housing, the contact surface contacts a corner part of a battery wall provided on the upper surface of the battery housing,
- the contact surface is formed at a position out of a moving region of a mating connector with respect to a connector provided on a side of one end of the battery terminal,
- the contact surface is formed to absorb a dimensional tolerance between the battery post and a first surface of the battery wall and a dimensional tolerance between the battery post and a second surface of the battery wall, the first surface and the second surface forming the corner part, and
- the contact surface contacts the corner part to regulate rotation of the battery terminal in a direction toward the battery wall with the battery post as a rotation center.
A battery terminal unit comprising:
- a battery terminal to be assembled to a battery post standing on an upper surface of a battery housing;
- and
- a battery terminal cover, wherein
- the battery terminal cover includes:
- a cover portion to be attached to the battery terminal;
- and
- a rotation stop portion that is extended from the cover portion, and has a contact surface formed by chamfering,
- in a state where the cover portion is attached to the battery terminal, when the battery terminal is assembled to the battery post, the contact surface contacts a corner part of a battery wall provided on the upper surface of the battery housing,
- the contact surface is formed at a position out of a moving region of a mating connector with respect to a connector provided on a side of one end of the battery terminal,
- the contact surface is formed to absorb a dimensional tolerance between the battery post and a first surface of the battery wall and a dimensional tolerance between the battery post and a second surface of the battery wall, the first surface and the second surface forming the corner part, and
- the contact surface contacts the corner part to regulate rotation of the battery terminal in a direction toward the battery wall with the battery post as a rotation center.
