Abstract
A battery wiring module may include a connecting member and a resin protector. The connecting member may be connected to an electrode terminal, and the connecting member may include a beveled corner. The resin protector may be made of insulating resin and include a holding portion and a coming-off preventing projection. The holding portion may hold the connecting member and may be provided with a surrounding wall that surrounds a peripheral edge of the connecting member. The coming-off preventing projection may include an elastic piece disposed cover the beveled corner of the connecting member and thereby limit movement of the connecting member.
Claims20
A battery wiring module comprising:
- a connecting member connected to an electrode terminal and comprising a beveled corner;
- and
- a resin protector made of insulating resin that comprises:
- a holding portion for holding the connecting member, wherein the holding portion is provided with a surrounding wall that surrounds a peripheral edge of the connecting member, and
- a coming-off preventing projection, wherein the coming-off preventing projection comprises an elastic piece that is disposed so as to cover the beveled corner of the connecting member and thereby limit movement of the connecting member.
A method for assembling a battery wiring module comprising:
- inserting a connecting member into an opening of a holding portion so that a portion of the connecting member abuts an elastic piece provided on an inner wall of the holding portion and the elastic piece elastically deforms towards an exterior wall of the holding portion, and
- after the inserting the connecting member into the opening of the holding portion, further inserting the connecting member into the opening of the holding portion so that the elastic piece elastically returns to a former state and thereby limits movement of the connecting member by extending over and covering a portion of the connecting member.
