【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は車両の長期未使用時等におけるバッテリー放電を防ぐために、バッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断するバッテリーターミナルに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の電流遮断機構付きバッテリーターミナルにおいては、車両衝突時に外部からの制御信号を受け火薬を爆発させ、その爆発力でバッテリーターミナルの一部を完全に切断することによってバッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断している(例えば、特開平11−353997号の公開特許公報参照)。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
車両の長期未使用時等におけるバッテリー放電(自己放電、及びセキュリティーシステム、時計等の電力消費による放電)を防ぐためには、バッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断することが有効である。
【0004】
従来のバッテリーターミナルでは、バッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断する場合、バッテリーポストからバッテリーターミナル、或いはバッテリーターミナルからバッテリーケーブルを取り外さなければならないという問題があった。
【0005】
また電流遮断機構を備えたバッテリーターミナルとしては、例えば特開平11−353997号の公開特許公報に開示されているものが知られているが、これはあくまでも車両衝突時等のワイヤーハーネスの燃損を防止することが目的であり、本発明における車両の長期未使用時等のバッテリー放電を防ぐ目的ではない。すなわち、随意にバッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断することはできない。
【0006】
本発明は、バッテリーポストからバッテリーターミナル、或いはバッテリーターミナルからバッテリーケーブルを取り外すことなく、工具を必要としない簡単な操作で随意にバッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断できる機構を備えたバッテリーターミナルを提供することを課題とする。
【0007】

請求項1の発明によれば、通常では、バッテリーからポスト固定端子、通電金具、ケーブル固定端子、及びバッテリーケーブルを介して負荷への給電が行われているが、通電金具を取り除くことでポスト固定端子からケーブル固定端子への通電は絶縁フレームによって妨げられ、バッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断することができ、バッテリーポストからバッテリーターミナル、或いはバッテリーターミナルからバッテリーケーブルを取り外すことなく、車両の長期未使用時等におけるバッテリー放電を防ぐことができる。
【0009】
請求項2の発明では、ポスト固定端子と絶縁フレームに設けられた挿入孔を貫通する通電金具とケーブル固定端子をボルトナット機構とし、該通電金具の頭部に大径の樹脂ダイヤルを取り付けたことを特徴とする。
【0010】
請求項2の発明によれば、ボルト形状を成した通電金具を締め付け、通電金具とポスト固定端子が接触している状態では、バッテリーからポスト固定端子、通電金具、ケーブル固定端子、及びバッテリーケーブルを介して負荷への給電が行われるが、通電金具を緩め、通電金具とポスト固定端子の接触を断つことによって、ポスト固定端子からケーブル固定端子への通電は絶縁フレームによって妨げられ、バッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断することができ、バッテリーポストからバッテリーターミナル、或いはバッテリーターミナルからバッテリーケーブルを取り外すことなく、車両の長期未使用時等におけるバッテリー放電を防ぐことができる。また、ボルト形状を成した通電金具の締緩は通電金具の頭部に取り付けられた大径の樹脂ダイヤルを介して行われるため、工具を使用する必要が無い。
【0011】
請求項3の発明では、ポスト固定端子と通電金具との電気的接触を部分的に妨げる絶縁プレートを前記ポスト固定端子の上面に取り付け、前記通電金具は前記ポスト固定端子とケーブル固定端子、及び前記絶縁プレートと絶縁フレームに設けられた挿入孔を貫通し組付ける。また、前記通電金具の頭部には車両室内に繋がる遠隔操作ワイヤーを取り付ける。
【0012】
請求項3の発明によれば、通電金具の頭部の一部がポスト固定端子と接触している状態では、バッテリーからポスト固定端子、通電金具、ケーブル固定端子、及びバッテリーケーブルを介して負荷への給電が行われるが、通電金具を回転させ、通電金具の頭部の全体をポスト固定端子の上面に取り付けられた絶縁プレート上に配することによって、ポスト固定端子からケーブル固定端子への通電は絶縁フレームによって妨げられ、バッテリーから負荷への給電を遮断することができ、バッテリーポストからバッテリーターミナル、或いはバッテリーターミナルからバッテリーケーブルを取り外すことなく、車両の長期未使用時等におけるバッテリー放電を防ぐことができる。また、通電金具の回転は通電金具の頭部に取り付けられた車両室内に繋がる遠隔操作ワイヤーを介して行われるため、ボンネットを開けて作業する必要が無い。
