Further, on the back surface of the main portion 14, an operation piece 18 having a bowl-shaped cross-section so as to be picked by a finger is projected rearward (see FIG. 5).

而して、図５に示すように２つの太陽電池パネル１を平行に並べて屋根に設置すれば、一方の太陽電池パネル１における第１の端子部４と、他方の太陽電池パネル１における第２の端子部５とが凹所６を連通させる形で厚み方向と直交する方向に並べて配置され、このように並べて配置された２つの凹所６内に隔壁部１５が突設されている前面側より接続部材１０を挿入すれば、第１の端子部４の正極端子４ａ及び送り端子４ｂを構成する各刃受に第１のコネクタ部１１の接続端子１１ａ及び送り用接続端子１１ｂを構成する各栓刃が差込接続され、２つの太陽電池パネル１の第１の端子部４と第２の端子部５の間が接続部材１０によって接続される。第１及び第２の端子部４，５に第１及び第２のコネクタ部１１，１２を接続した状態では、図６に示すように連通する２つの凹所６内に接続部材１０が嵌入され、パネル本体２の側面には接続部材１０が突出しないように凹所６の深さ寸法及び接続部材１０の前後方向の寸法が設定してある。このとき第２凹所６ｂ内に設けられている隔壁部６ｃの内側に第１及び第２のコネクタ部１１，１２の隔壁部１５を嵌合し、隔壁部６ｃ、１５により雨水の侵入を阻止して各端子４ａ，４ｂ、５ａ，５ｂ、１１ａ，１１ｂ、１２ａ，１２ｂに水がかかるのを防いでいる。尚、隔壁部６ｃ又は１５の何れか一方のみで端子部４，５及びコネクタ部１１，１２全体を覆って雨水の浸入を阻止するようにしても構わない。また、第１及び第２のコネクタ部１１，１２の操作片１８を指で摘んで手前に引っ張ることにより、第１及び第２の端子部４，５と第１及び第２のコネクタ部１１，１２の接続状態を解除して接続部材１０を取り外すことができる。   Thus, as shown in FIG. 5, if two solar cell panels 1 are arranged in parallel and installed on the roof, the first terminal portion 4 in one solar cell panel 1 and the second terminal in the other solar cell panel 1. The terminal portion 5 is arranged side by side in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction so as to communicate the recess 6, and the partition wall portion 15 projects from the two recesses 6 arranged in this manner. If the connecting member 10 is further inserted, each of the blade terminals constituting the positive terminal 4a and the feed terminal 4b of the first terminal portion 4 constitutes the connection terminal 11a of the first connector portion 11 and the feed connection terminal 11b. The plug blade is inserted and connected, and the first terminal portion 4 and the second terminal portion 5 of the two solar cell panels 1 are connected by the connecting member 10. In a state where the first and second connector portions 11 and 12 are connected to the first and second terminal portions 4 and 5, the connection member 10 is inserted into the two recesses 6 communicating with each other as shown in FIG. The depth dimension of the recess 6 and the dimension in the front-rear direction of the connection member 10 are set so that the connection member 10 does not protrude from the side surface of the panel body 2. At this time, the partition wall portions 15 of the first and second connector portions 11 and 12 are fitted inside the partition wall portion 6c provided in the second recess 6b, and the rainwater intrusion is prevented by the partition wall portions 6c and 15. Thus, the terminals 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b are prevented from being splashed with water. It should be noted that only one of the partition walls 6c or 15 may cover the entire terminal portions 4 and 5 and the connector portions 11 and 12 to prevent rainwater from entering. In addition, the first and second terminal portions 4 and 5 and the first and second connector portions 11 and 12 can be obtained by picking the operation pieces 18 of the first and second connector portions 11 and 12 with fingers and pulling them forward. The connection state of 12 can be cancelled | released and the connection member 10 can be removed.

このように本実施形態では、屋根に複数枚の太陽電池パネル１を並べて設置した後、各太陽電池パネル１の配設面（屋根面）に対向しない面（側面）に設けられた第１及び第２の端子部４，５に第１及び第２のコネクタ部１１，１２をそれぞれ接続することにより、隣接する複数の太陽電池パネル１間を接続部材１０によって電気的に接続するようにしているから、従来のように配線を太陽電池パネル１００の背面に引き回す手間や引き回しのためのスペースも必要がなく、複数の太陽電池パネル１間の配線作業が簡素化できるものである。また、本実施形態では第１及び第２の端子部４，５をパネル本体２の側面における両端部に設けているから、一の太陽電池パネル１の第１及び第２の端子部４，５が各々隣り合う他の太陽電池パネル１の第２及び第１の端子部５，４に近接して配置されるため、接続部材１０による接続作業が簡素化できるとともに接続部材１０の小型化が図れるという利点がある。   Thus, in this embodiment, after arranging a plurality of solar cell panels 1 side by side on the roof, the first and second surfaces provided on the surface (side surface) that does not face the arrangement surface (roof surface) of each solar cell panel 1. By connecting the first and second connector parts 11 and 12 to the second terminal parts 4 and 5, respectively, the adjacent solar cell panels 1 are electrically connected by the connecting member 10. Therefore, there is no need for labor and space for routing the wiring to the back surface of the solar cell panel 100 as in the prior art, and the wiring work between the plurality of solar cell panels 1 can be simplified. In the present embodiment, since the first and second terminal portions 4 and 5 are provided at both end portions of the side surface of the panel body 2, the first and second terminal portions 4 and 5 of one solar cell panel 1 are provided. Are arranged close to the second and first terminal portions 5 and 4 of the other adjacent solar cell panels 1, the connection work by the connection member 10 can be simplified and the connection member 10 can be downsized. There is an advantage.

上述のようにして屋根の軒と平行に設置された複数の太陽電池パネル１を接続部材１０で接続することで各太陽電池パネル１が備える太陽電池モジュール３が直列接続され、さらに両端に位置する２つの太陽電池パネル１の第１の端子部４又は第２の端子部５に短絡コネクタ部材２０若しくは出力コネクタ部材３０が択一的に接続されることで一つのブロックが構成される。   The solar cell modules 3 included in each solar cell panel 1 are connected in series by connecting the plurality of solar cell panels 1 installed in parallel with the eaves of the roof with the connecting member 10 as described above, and are further located at both ends. A short-circuit connector member 20 or an output connector member 30 is alternatively connected to the first terminal portion 4 or the second terminal portion 5 of the two solar cell panels 1 to form one block.

短絡コネクタ部材２０は、図７及び図８に示すように外観の構造が接続部材１０の第１及び第２のコネクタ部１１，１２と共通であって、栓刃からなる一対の接続端子２１が前面より突出する矩形平板状の主部２２と、これら２つの接続端子２１を囲むように主部２２の前面に突設された角筒状の隔壁部２３と、隔壁部２３の内部を二分するように主部２２の前面に突設された平板状の隔絶壁２４と、主部２２の両側面より突出する矩形平板状の一対の突片２５と、主部２２の背面に突出する断面形状が鈎形の操作片２６とが絶縁性を有する合成樹脂材料により一体に形成され、２つの接続端子２１が主部２２にインサート成型されている電路（図示せず）によって接続されてなる。   As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the short-circuit connector member 20 has the same external structure as the first and second connector portions 11 and 12 of the connection member 10, and has a pair of connection terminals 21 made of plug blades. A rectangular flat plate-shaped main portion 22 projecting from the front surface, a rectangular tubular partition portion 23 projecting from the front surface of the main portion 22 so as to surround these two connection terminals 21, and an interior of the partition wall portion 23 are divided into two. In this way, a flat plate-like isolation wall 24 protruding from the front surface of the main portion 22, a pair of rectangular flat plate-shaped protruding pieces 25 protruding from both side surfaces of the main portion 22, and a cross-sectional shape protruding from the back surface of the main portion 22 The hook-shaped operation piece 26 is integrally formed of an insulating synthetic resin material, and the two connection terminals 21 are connected to the main portion 22 by an electric circuit (not shown).

また出力コネクタ部材３０は、図９及び図１０に示すように外観の構造が短絡コネクタ部材２０とほぼ共通であって、栓刃からなる一対の接続端子３１が前面より突出する矩形平板状の主部３２と、これら２つの接続端子３１を囲むように主部３２の前面に突設された角筒状の隔壁部３３と、隔壁部３３の内部を二分するように主部３２の前面に突設された平板状の隔絶壁３４と、主部３２の一方の側面より突出する矩形平板状の突片３５と、主部３２の背面に突出する断面形状が鈎形の操作片３６とが絶縁性を有する合成樹脂材料により一体に形成され、２つの接続端子３１が主部３２にインサート成型されている電路（図示せず）を介して主部３２の他方の側面より導出された一対の出力ケーブル３７にそれぞれ各別に接続されてなる。   9 and 10, the output connector member 30 is substantially the same in appearance as the short-circuit connector member 20, and has a rectangular flat plate-like main body in which a pair of connection terminals 31 made of plug blades protrude from the front surface. Projecting on the front surface of the main portion 32 so as to bisect the inside of the partition wall portion 33, the rectangular partition wall portion 33 projecting from the front surface of the main portion 32 so as to surround these two connection terminals 31 The provided flat isolation wall 34, the rectangular flat projection 35 projecting from one side surface of the main portion 32, and the operation piece 36 having a bowl-shaped cross section projecting from the back of the main portion 32 are insulated. A pair of outputs derived from the other side surface of the main part 32 through an electric circuit (not shown) in which the two connection terminals 31 are insert-molded in the main part 32. Each is connected to a cable 37 separately.

したがって、一つのブロックを構成する複数の太陽電池パネル１の一端、例えば、図１（ａ）の例であれば右端に位置する太陽電池パネル１の第１の端子部４に短絡コネクタ部材２０を接続することにより（図１１参照）、第１の端子部４の正極端子４ａと送り端子４ｂが短絡コネクタ部材２０の一対の接続端子２１を介して短絡されることになる。このとき当該ブロックにおいては、他端（左端）に位置する太陽電池パネル１の第２の端子部５の負極端子５ａと送り端子５ｂとの間に他の太陽電池パネル１の太陽電池モジュールが直列に接続されることになる。そして、この左端に位置する太陽電池パネル１の第２の端子部５に出力コネクタ部材３０を接続すれば（図１２参照）、第２の端子部５の負極端子５ａが出力コネクタ部材３０の一方の接続端子３１を介して片方の出力ケーブル３７に接続されるとともに、第２の端子部５の送り端子５ｂが出力コネクタ部材３０の他方の接続端子３１を介してもう片方の出力ケーブル３７に接続されるため、一つのブロックを構成する複数の太陽電池パネル１の出力を出力コネクタ部材３０の出力ケーブル３７を通して外部に取り出すことができる。   Therefore, the short-circuit connector member 20 is attached to one end of the plurality of solar cell panels 1 constituting one block, for example, the first terminal portion 4 of the solar cell panel 1 located at the right end in the example of FIG. By connecting (see FIG. 11), the positive terminal 4 a and the feed terminal 4 b of the first terminal portion 4 are short-circuited via the pair of connection terminals 21 of the short-circuit connector member 20. At this time, in the block, the solar cell modules of the other solar cell panels 1 are connected in series between the negative terminal 5a of the second terminal portion 5 of the solar cell panel 1 and the feed terminal 5b located at the other end (left end). Will be connected to. And if the output connector member 30 is connected to the 2nd terminal part 5 of the solar cell panel 1 located in this left end (refer FIG. 12), the negative electrode terminal 5a of the 2nd terminal part 5 will be one side of the output connector member 30. Is connected to one output cable 37 via the other connection terminal 31, and the feed terminal 5 b of the second terminal portion 5 is connected to the other output cable 37 via the other connection terminal 31 of the output connector member 30. Therefore, the outputs of the plurality of solar cell panels 1 constituting one block can be taken out through the output cable 37 of the output connector member 30.

なお、第１及び第２の端子部４，５は同一の構造を有しており、しかも、短絡コネクタ部材２０並びに出力コネクタ部材３０は一対の接続端子２１，３１がそれぞれ同一形状に形成され、左右を反転させた状態でも第１又は第２の端子部４，５の何れとも接続可能に構成されている。したがって、図１に示した例では一つのブロックの右端に位置する太陽電池パネル１の第１の端子部４に短絡コネクタ部材２０を接続するとともに左端に位置する太陽電池パネル１の第２の端子部５に出力コネクタ部材３０を接続しているが、これとは逆に左端に位置する太陽電池パネル１の第２の端子部５に短絡コネクタ部材２０を接続するとともに右端に位置する太陽電池パネル１の第１の端子部４に出力コネクタ部材３０を接続することも可能であって、何れの端の太陽電池パネル１からでも出力コネクタ部材３０により太陽電池モジュール３の出力を取り出すことが可能であるから配線の引き回しの自由度が高くなっている。   The first and second terminal portions 4 and 5 have the same structure, and the short-circuit connector member 20 and the output connector member 30 have a pair of connection terminals 21 and 31 formed in the same shape. Even in a state where the left and right are reversed, the first and second terminal portions 4 and 5 can be connected to each other. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the short-circuit connector member 20 is connected to the first terminal portion 4 of the solar cell panel 1 located at the right end of one block and the second terminal of the solar cell panel 1 located at the left end. The output connector member 30 is connected to the portion 5. On the contrary, the short-circuit connector member 20 is connected to the second terminal portion 5 of the solar cell panel 1 located at the left end and the solar cell panel located at the right end. It is also possible to connect the output connector member 30 to one first terminal portion 4, and the output connector member 30 can take out the output of the solar cell module 3 from any end of the solar cell panel 1. Because of this, the degree of freedom of wiring is high.

ところで各ブロックの両端の太陽電池パネル１と下り棟との間には、図１（ａ）に示すように通常の屋根パネル２００が配設されるが、この屋根パネル２００に出力ケーブル３７を通す挿通路２０１が設けられる。この挿通路２０１は、図１２に示すように屋根パネル２００の背面及び軒と平行な方向に対向する両側面に開口する溝からなり、屋根パネル２００を太陽電池パネル１に並べて配置することでパネル本体２の側面端部に設けられた第１凹所６ａの側面開口と連通し、第１凹所６ａを通して出力コネクタ部材３０の出力ケーブル３７が挿通路２０１に挿通される。   By the way, a normal roof panel 200 is disposed between the solar cell panel 1 at both ends of each block and the descending ridge as shown in FIG. 1A, and the output cable 37 is passed through the roof panel 200. An insertion path 201 is provided. As shown in FIG. 12, the insertion path 201 is formed by grooves that are opened on the back surface of the roof panel 200 and on both side surfaces facing the eaves in a direction parallel to the eaves, and the roof panel 200 is arranged side by side on the solar cell panel 1. The output cable 37 of the output connector member 30 is inserted into the insertion passage 201 through the first recess 6a, communicating with the side opening of the first recess 6a provided at the side surface end of the main body 2.

また、図１に示すように屋根の棟から軒にかけて配置された複数の太陽電池パネル１により複数のブロックが構成されているが、本実施形態においては、これら複数のブロック毎に設けられる出力コネクタ部材３０の出力ケーブル３７を集約して住宅Ｈの屋内に引き込むためのケーブル集約部材４０を備えている。   Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, although the several block is comprised by the some solar cell panel 1 arrange | positioned from the roof ridge to the eaves, in this embodiment, the output connector provided for each of these some blocks A cable collecting member 40 for collecting the output cables 37 of the member 30 and drawing them into the house H is provided.

ケーブル集約部材４０は、図１３及び図１４に示すように複数の出力コネクタ部材３０の出力ケーブル３７と接続される複数の入力端子部４１と、これら複数の入力端子部４１と直列又は並列に接続される出力端子部４２とを具備する。入力端子部４１は、出力ケーブル３７の先端に設けられたコネクタ（図示せず）が挿抜自在に接続されるコネクタ４１ｂを先端に有する２心の入力ケーブル４１ａからなり、複数の入力ケーブル４１ａが直方体状に形成されたハウジング４３の内部に引き込まれている。ハウジング４３には矩形のフランジ部４４が設けられ、フランジ部４４の底面中央からは円筒形の引き込み部４５が突出している。フランジ部４４の四隅にはハウジング４３を屋根に固定するための固定ねじ（図示せず）が挿通されるねじ挿通孔４４ａが貫設されている。引き込み部４５は屋根に設けられる引き込み孔（図示せず）に防水パッキン（図示せず）を介して挿通されるものであって、引き込み孔に挿通される先端部に屋内配線用の電線が接続される出力端子部４２が設けられている。この出力端子部４２は従来周知の速結端子（ねじなし端子）からなり、引き込み部４５の先端面に開口する電線挿通孔４５ａから挿通された電線を鎖錠ばね（図示せず）で狭持して電線の接続と抜け止めを行い、同じく引き込み部４５の先端面に開口する解除孔４５ｂに挿通した工具で解除釦（図示せず）を操作して鎖錠ばねの鎖錠を解除し、電線を引き抜きことができるようになっている。ここでハウジング４３の内部には、図１４（ａ）に示すように複数の入力端子部４１と出力端子部４２との直列回路を形成する電路（図示せず）、若しくは同図（ｂ）に示すように複数の入力端子部４１と出力端子部４２との並列回路を形成する電路（図示せず）の何れか一方が納装されている。なお、入力端子部４１と出力端子部４２の直列回路が形成されている場合、出力ケーブル３７を接続しない入力端子部４１をケーブル等を使って短絡させる必要がある。   As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the cable aggregation member 40 is connected in series or in parallel with a plurality of input terminal portions 41 connected to the output cables 37 of the plurality of output connector members 30. Output terminal portion 42. The input terminal portion 41 is composed of a two-core input cable 41a having a connector 41b at the distal end of which a connector (not shown) provided at the distal end of the output cable 37 is detachably connected, and the plurality of input cables 41a are rectangular parallelepiped. It is drawn into the inside of the housing 43 formed in a shape. The housing 43 is provided with a rectangular flange portion 44, and a cylindrical lead-in portion 45 projects from the center of the bottom surface of the flange portion 44. Screw insertion holes 44a through which fixing screws (not shown) for fixing the housing 43 to the roof are inserted in the four corners of the flange portion 44. The lead-in portion 45 is inserted into a lead-in hole (not shown) provided in the roof via a waterproof packing (not shown), and an electric wire for indoor wiring is connected to the tip portion inserted into the lead-in hole. An output terminal portion 42 is provided. The output terminal portion 42 is a conventionally known quick connection terminal (screwless terminal), and the electric wire inserted through the electric wire insertion hole 45a opened at the front end surface of the drawing portion 45 is held by a lock spring (not shown). Then, the connection and disconnection of the electric wire are performed, and the release button (not shown) is operated with a tool inserted into the release hole 45b that is also opened in the distal end surface of the drawing portion 45 to release the lock of the lock spring. The electric wire can be pulled out. Here, in the housing 43, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), an electric circuit (not shown) forming a series circuit of a plurality of input terminal portions 41 and output terminal portions 42, or in FIG. As shown, any one of electric circuits (not shown) forming a parallel circuit of a plurality of input terminal portions 41 and output terminal portions 42 is mounted. In addition, when the series circuit of the input terminal part 41 and the output terminal part 42 is formed, it is necessary to short-circuit the input terminal part 41 which does not connect the output cable 37 using a cable.

上述のように複数の太陽電池パネル１からなるブロックの出力ケーブル３７をケーブル集約部材４０を用いて集約すれば、多数の出力ケーブル３７を個別に屋内に引き込む場合に比べて配線作業が簡素化でき、しかも、多数の出力ケーブル３７がどのブロックに対応するものであるかといった識別を行う手間が省けるという利点もある。ここで、図１（ａ）に示すようにケーブル集約部材４０を隅棟に配設される隅棟瓦７０で覆い隠すことで雨水が直接かかるのを防いでいる。   As described above, if the output cables 37 of the block composed of a plurality of solar battery panels 1 are aggregated using the cable aggregation member 40, the wiring work can be simplified as compared with the case where a large number of output cables 37 are individually drawn indoors. In addition, there is an advantage that it is possible to save the trouble of identifying which block the many output cables 37 correspond to. Here, as shown in FIG. 1A, the cable collecting member 40 is covered with a corner building tile 70 disposed in the corner building, thereby preventing rainwater from being directly applied.

なお、上述のように円筒形の引き込み部４５を設けて出力端子部４２を速結端子で構成する代わりに、図１５に示すように入力端子部４１と同様にコネクタ４２ｂを先端に有し、ハウジング４３から導出される２心の出力ケーブル４２ａで出力端子部４２を構成してもよい。また、太陽電池モジュールの正極又は負極と送り端子に接続された一対の出力ケーブルをパネル本体から導出した出力専用の太陽電池パネルを構成し、この出力専用の太陽電池パネル１を一つのブロックの一端に配置するようにしても構わない。   Instead of providing the cylindrical lead-in part 45 as described above and configuring the output terminal part 42 as a quick-connect terminal, as shown in FIG. 15, it has a connector 42b at the tip, similar to the input terminal part 41, The output terminal portion 42 may be configured by a two-core output cable 42 a led out from the housing 43. Further, a solar cell panel dedicated to output in which a pair of output cables connected to the positive electrode or negative electrode of the solar cell module and the feed terminal is led out from the panel body is configured, and the solar cell panel 1 dedicated to output is connected to one end of one block. You may make it arrange | position to.

（実施形態２）

扉５０は、絶縁性を有する合成樹脂材料により凹所６の形状に合わせた略十字状に形成され、パネル本体２の前面側へ突出する部位の両端面より突起状の軸部（図示せず）が突設されている。凹所６を構成する第１凹所６ａのパネル本体２前面側における両側壁には、扉５０の軸部を回動自在に支持する凹溝（図示せず）が形成されている。すなわち、これらの凹溝にそれぞれ軸部を挿入するようにしてパネル本体２に扉５０が取り付けられ、軸部を支点として扉５０が開閉自在となっている。また、扉５０におけるパネル本体２の背面側へ突出する部位には突起５１が突設され、第１凹所６ａのパネル本体２背面側の端部に設けられた嵌合凹部６ｄに突起５１を嵌合させることで扉５０をロックするようにしてある。   The door 50 is formed in a substantially cross shape that matches the shape of the recess 6 with an insulating synthetic resin material, and protrudes from both end surfaces of the portion protruding to the front side of the panel body 2 (not shown). ) Is projected. Concave grooves (not shown) for rotatably supporting the shaft portion of the door 50 are formed on both side walls of the first recess 6a constituting the recess 6 on the front surface side of the panel body 2. That is, the door 50 is attached to the panel main body 2 so as to insert the shaft portion into each of these concave grooves, and the door 50 can be opened and closed with the shaft portion as a fulcrum. In addition, a protrusion 51 is provided at a portion of the door 50 that protrudes toward the back side of the panel body 2, and the protrusion 51 is provided in a fitting recess 6 d provided at an end of the first recess 6 a on the back side of the panel body 2. The door 50 is locked by fitting.

したがって、接続部材１０や短絡コネクタ部材２０あるいは出力コネクタ部材３０を第１又は第２の端子部４，５に接続した後、扉５０を閉じれば凹所６並びに端子部４，５や各部材１０，２０，３０が扉５０に覆われるから、第１及び第２の端子部４，５や接続部材１０、短絡コネクタ部材２０、出力コネクタ部材３０に直接雨水がかかることがなく、防水性を高めることができる。なお、このような扉５０を備えた場合、第１及び第２の端子部４，５や接続部材１０、短絡コネクタ部材２０、出力コネクタ部材３０に必ずしも隔壁部６ｃ，１５を設ける必要はない。   Therefore, after connecting the connecting member 10, the short-circuit connector member 20 or the output connector member 30 to the first or second terminal portion 4, 5 and then closing the door 50, the recess 6 and the terminal portions 4, 5 or each member 10 are connected. , 20 and 30 are covered by the door 50, so that the first and second terminal portions 4 and 5, the connection member 10, the short-circuit connector member 20 and the output connector member 30 are not directly exposed to rainwater, thereby improving the waterproof property. be able to. When such a door 50 is provided, the first and second terminal portions 4 and 5, the connecting member 10, the short-circuit connector member 20, and the output connector member 30 are not necessarily provided with the partition portions 6 c and 15.

The member is formed in such a size that it does not protrude from the side surface of the panel main body 2 only in a state where it is connected to the panel. For this reason, if each member is completely connected to the first and second terminal portions 4 and 5 as shown in FIG. 17A, the member is stored in the recess 6 and the panel body 2 The door 50 can be closed without protruding from the side, but conversely, if the connection between the terminal portions 4 and 5 and each member is incomplete, each member is not stored in the recess 6 and the side surface of the panel body 2 The first and second terminal portions 4 and 5 and each member (connecting member 10, short-circuit connector member 20, output connector member 30) are completely connected. It is possible to determine whether or not it is done in the state of the door 50, and the reliability of the wiring work is improved. The determination as to whether or not the terminal portions 4 and 5 and the respective members are completely connected is made, for example, by connecting the blade terminals constituting the positive terminal 4a, the negative terminal 5a, and the feed terminals 4b and 5b to the connection terminals 11a of the respective members. , 11b,..., 11b,... Are judged to be completely connected if they are over the tapered surface 60 (see FIG. 17A). What is necessary is just to judge that it is not (refer FIG.17 (b)).
