ここで、電池モジュール群の組立について説明する。まず、電池セル150に接着剤を塗布する。接着剤は、電池セル150と、下部ケース110及びセルホルダ120とを接着可能な任意の接着剤であり、例えばエポキシ系接着剤を使用することができる。セルホルダ120と下部ケース110とを係合した際に、下部ケース110内で電池セル150の位置が固定されていればよいため、接着剤は、必ずしも電池セル150の全体に塗布されていなくてもよく、電池セル150の一部分に塗布されてもよい。例えば、接着剤は、電池セル150において、下部ケース110に電池セル150を挿入した際に底面111に接触する面(つまりキャップ面151の反対側の面)と、セルホルダ120で上面側から電池セル150を保持する際に保持蓋122に接触する面(つまりキャップ面151)とに、塗布されてもよい。特に、キャップ面151は、正極端子152と、負極端子153と、安全弁154とを有するため、これらの正極端子152、負極端子153及び安全弁154に接着剤が塗布されないよう、例えば、キャップ面151の長手方向の周縁にのみ接着剤が塗布されてもよい。
Here, the assembly of the battery module group will be described. First, an adhesive is applied to the battery cell 150. The adhesive is an arbitrary adhesive capable of bonding the battery cell 150, the lower case 110, and the cell holder 120. For example, an epoxy-based adhesive can be used. When the cell holder 120 and the lower case 110 are engaged with each other, it is only necessary that the position of the battery cell 150 is fixed in the lower case 110, so that the adhesive is not necessarily applied to the entire battery cell 150. It may be applied to a part of the battery cell 150. For example, in the battery cell 150, the adhesive is a battery cell that contacts the bottom surface 111 when the battery cell 150 is inserted into the lower case 110 (that is, the surface opposite to the cap surface 151) and the cell holder 120 from the top surface side. It may be applied to the surface (that is, the cap surface 151) that contacts the holding lid 122 when holding 150. In particular, since the cap surface 151 includes the positive electrode terminal 152, the negative electrode terminal 153, and the safety valve 154, for example, the cap surface 151 of the cap surface 151 is prevented from being coated with the positive electrode terminal 152, the negative electrode terminal 153, and the safety valve 154. The adhesive may be applied only to the peripheral edge in the longitudinal direction.

It is a figure which shows typically the adhesion position when an adhesive agent is applied to (that is, cap surface 151). FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 8 and shows only the central battery cell 150 and its periphery among the five stacked battery cells 150. Moreover, in FIG. 10, the area | region where an adhesive agent is apply | coated is shown with the hatching. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10, the battery cell 150 is bonded to the cell holder 120 around the intersection of the holding lid 122 and the rib 127, and is bonded to the lower case 110 on the bottom surface 111.
なお、電池セル150と下部ケース110の底面111との間に塗布されるのは、接着剤に限られない。電池セル150と底面111との間には、他の充填剤が塗布されてもよい。充填剤は、特に弾性を有するものが好ましい。弾性を有する充填剤を電池セル150と底面111との間に塗布することにより、組電池100を備える車両の走行時に生じる振動を充填剤が吸収するため、電池セル150に振動が伝達されにくい。
In addition, what is applied between the battery cell 150 and the bottom surface 111 of the lower case 110 is not limited to the adhesive. Another filler may be applied between the battery cell 150 and the bottom surface 111. The filler is particularly preferably elastic. By applying an elastic filler between the battery cell 150 and the bottom surface 111, the filler absorbs vibration generated when the vehicle including the assembled battery 100 travels, so that vibration is hardly transmitted to the battery cell 150.
次に、セルホルダ120を上下反転させた状態で、電池セル150のキャップ面151を下向きにして、セルホルダ120の保持蓋122の下面側に、リブ127に従って電池セル150を挿入する。そして、下部ケース110を上下反転させた状態で、電池セル150が挿入されたセルホルダ120に覆い被せるようにして、下部ケース110をセルホルダ120に係合させる。このとき、図11(a)及び(b)に示すように、セルホルダ120の係合爪128を下部ケース110の係合孔115に係合させる。セルホルダ120と下部ケース110とが係合した状態の様子の一例が、図8に示されている。
Next, in a state where the cell holder 120 is turned upside down, the cap surface 151 of the battery cell 150 is turned downward, and the battery cell 150 is inserted into the lower surface side of the holding lid 122 of the cell holder 120 according to the rib 127. Then, with the lower case 110 turned upside down, the lower case 110 is engaged with the cell holder 120 so as to cover the cell holder 120 into which the battery cell 150 is inserted. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the engagement claw 128 of the cell holder 120 is engaged with the engagement hole 115 of the lower case 110. An example of a state in which the cell holder 120 and the lower case 110 are engaged is shown in FIG.
なお、電池セル150の接着手順は、上記手順に限られない。例えば、下部ケース110及びセルホルダ120を上下反転させることなく、電池セル150を下部ケース110の空間110aに挿入し、その上からセルホルダ120を下部ケース110に係合させてもよい。
In addition, the adhesion procedure of the battery cell 150 is not limited to the above procedure. For example, the battery cell 150 may be inserted into the space 110a of the lower case 110 without causing the lower case 110 and the cell holder 120 to be turned upside down, and the cell holder 120 may be engaged with the lower case 110 from above.
そして、保持蓋122の開口124aから露出した電池セル150の各端子に、セル間バスバ160、総プラス端子バスバ164及び総マイナス端子バスバ165を、ビード溶接により取り付け、保持蓋122にLBC140を取り付けることにより、電池モジュール群の組立が完了する。LBC140は、上述したように、例えばねじ留めにより保持蓋122に取り付けられる。
Then, the inter-cell bus bar 160, the total plus terminal bus bar 164, and the total minus terminal bus bar 165 are attached to each terminal of the battery cell 150 exposed from the opening 124a of the holding lid 122 by bead welding, and the LBC 140 is attached to the holding lid 122. Thus, the assembly of the battery module group is completed. As described above, the LBC 140 is attached to the holding lid 122 by, for example, screwing.
次に、本実施形態に係る組電池100の補機モジュール群について説明する。補機モジュール群は、補機台座200と、補機台座200上に配置されるMOSFET210、リレー220、電流センサ230及びヒュージブルリンク240と、補機台座200上に配置される各部品を電気的に接続するための銅バスバとを組み付けることにより構成される。
Next, the auxiliary machine module group of the assembled battery 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. The auxiliary equipment module group electrically connects the auxiliary equipment base 200, the MOSFET 210, the relay 220, the current sensor 230 and the fusible link 240 arranged on the auxiliary equipment base 200, and each component arranged on the auxiliary equipment base 200. It is configured by assembling a copper bus bar for connection to the cable.
補機台座200は、4つの側面200a、200b、200c及び200dと、載置面201とを有する。4つの側面200a、200b、200c及び200dは、補機台座200が電池モジュール群に組み付けられた状態において、それぞれ下部ケース110の4つの側面112a、112b、112c及び112d(及びセルホルダ120の4つの側面121a、121b、121c及び121d)に対応する位置に配置される。
The auxiliary machine base 200 has four side surfaces 200a, 200b, 200c and 200d, and a mounting surface 201. The four side surfaces 200a, 200b, 200c, and 200d are the four side surfaces 112a, 112b, 112c, and 112d (and the four side surfaces of the cell holder 120) of the lower case 110, respectively, in a state where the auxiliary machine base 200 is assembled to the battery module group. 121a, 121b, 121c and 121d).
載置面201には、側面200aの近傍に電流センサ230が、側面200bの近傍にMOSFET210が、側面200cの近傍にリレー220が、側面200dの近傍にヒュージブルリンク240が、それぞれ載置される。載置面201には、図12に示すように、MOSFET210、リレー220、電流センサ230及びヒュージブルリンク240を載置する位置に応じて、凹凸が形成されている。載置面201は、凹凸により、凹凸がない場合と比較して剛性が高くなっている。
On the mounting surface 201, a current sensor 230 is mounted near the side surface 200a, a MOSFET 210 is mounted near the side surface 200b, a relay 220 is mounted near the side surface 200c, and a fusible link 240 is mounted near the side surface 200d. . As shown in FIG. 12, unevenness is formed on the mounting surface 201 according to the position where the MOSFET 210, the relay 220, the current sensor 230 and the fusible link 240 are mounted. The mounting surface 201 has higher rigidity due to the unevenness than when there is no unevenness.
本実施形態において、載置面201の凹凸は、図12に示すように、載置面201においてリレー220が載置される領域201cが、電流センサ230が載置される領域201a、MOSFET210が載置される領域201b及びヒュージブルリンク240が載置される領域201dと比較して、組電池100を組み立てた際に高い位置になるように形成されている。また、載置面201の凹凸は、ヒュージブルリンク240が載置される領域201dが、領域201a及び領域201bと比較して、組電池100を組み立てた際に高い位置になるように形成されている。つまり、載置面201の凹凸は、電流センサ230が載置される領域201aが、領域201c及び領域201dよりも低い位置になるように形成されている。載置面201がこのような凹凸を有することにより、ヒュージブルリンク240を、補機台座200においてリレー220よりも低い位置に配置するとともに、ヒュージブルリンク240よりも厚い電流センサ230も、リレー220よりも低い位置に配置することができる。
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the unevenness of the mounting surface 201 includes an area 201c on the mounting surface 201 where the relay 220 is mounted, an area 201a where the current sensor 230 is mounted, and a MOSFET 210. It is formed so as to be at a higher position when the assembled battery 100 is assembled as compared to the area 201b to be placed and the area 201d to which the fusible link 240 is placed. Further, the unevenness of the mounting surface 201 is formed so that the region 201d where the fusible link 240 is mounted is at a higher position when the assembled battery 100 is assembled than the regions 201a and 201b. Yes. That is, the unevenness of the placement surface 201 is formed such that the region 201a where the current sensor 230 is placed is at a lower position than the region 201c and the region 201d. Since the mounting surface 201 has such irregularities, the fusible link 240 is disposed at a position lower than the relay 220 in the auxiliary machine base 200, and the current sensor 230 thicker than the fusible link 240 is also connected to the relay 220. Can be arranged at a lower position.
電流センサ230、MOSFET210、リレー220及びヒュージブルリンク240は、それぞれ領域201a、201b、201c及び201dにおいて、載置面201の凹凸により形成される立ち壁又は載置面201に形成されたリブ202により、位置決めされる。
The current sensor 230, the MOSFET 210, the relay 220, and the fusible link 240 are respectively formed by standing walls formed by unevenness of the mounting surface 201 or ribs 202 formed on the mounting surface 201 in the regions 201a, 201b, 201c, and 201d. Is positioned.
本実施形態では、例えば図12及び図14に示すように、領域201cは、その周囲の一部がリブ202により囲われている。つまり、リレー220は、リブ202により位置決めされる。リブ202は、ナット290でリレー220を補機台座200に固定する際の廻り止めの機能も有する。また、リブ202は、後述する銅バスバ同士の接触を防止する絶縁の機能も有する。
In this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, the region 201 c is partially surrounded by the rib 202. That is, the relay 220 is positioned by the rib 202. The rib 202 also has a function of preventing rotation when the relay 220 is fixed to the auxiliary machine base 200 with the nut 290. The rib 202 also has an insulating function for preventing contact between copper bus bars, which will be described later.
また、MOSFET210、リレー220及びヒュージブルリンク240は、それぞれ領域201a、201b及び201dの周囲の一部に形成された立ち壁により位置決めされる。載置面201における立ち壁は、ナット290でMOSFET210、リレー220及びヒュージブルリンク240を補機台座200に固定する際の廻り止めの機能も有する。
Further, the MOSFET 210, the relay 220, and the fusible link 240 are positioned by standing walls formed in parts around the areas 201a, 201b, and 201d, respectively. The standing wall on the mounting surface 201 also has a function of preventing rotation when the MOSFET 210, the relay 220, and the fusible link 240 are fixed to the auxiliary machine base 200 with the nut 290.
また、補機台座200は、載置面201に複数の上向きのスタッド203を備える。スタッド203は、電池モジュール群の電池セル150と、MOSFET210と、リレー220と、電流センサ230と、ヒュージブルリンク240とを互いに電気的に接続するために使用される。また、SSG端子250、LOAD端子260及びGND端子270も、補機台座200の載置面201から上向き(載置面201に略直交する向き)に延在して設けられており、スタッドとして機能する。すなわち、SSG端子250、LOAD端子260及びGND端子270が同じ向きに設けられているため、ハーネス締結のための配線を容易に行うことができる。またSSG端子250、LOAD端子260及びGND端子270はいずれも、同一側面(図12に向かって右側の側面200a)に接する縁部に設けられているため、同一方向からの作業が可能であり、配線が容易である。このため、配線を自動化しやすい。
The auxiliary machine base 200 includes a plurality of upward studs 203 on the mounting surface 201. The stud 203 is used to electrically connect the battery cells 150 of the battery module group, the MOSFET 210, the relay 220, the current sensor 230, and the fusible link 240 to each other. Further, the SSG terminal 250, the LOAD terminal 260, and the GND terminal 270 are also provided so as to extend upward from the mounting surface 201 of the auxiliary machine base 200 (direction substantially orthogonal to the mounting surface 201) and function as studs. To do. That is, since the SSG terminal 250, the LOAD terminal 260, and the GND terminal 270 are provided in the same direction, wiring for harness fastening can be easily performed. In addition, since the SSG terminal 250, the LOAD terminal 260, and the GND terminal 270 are all provided at the edge that contacts the same side surface (the right side surface 200a as viewed in FIG. 12), work from the same direction is possible. Wiring is easy. For this reason, it is easy to automate wiring.
各スタッド203と、SSG端子250と、LOAD端子260と、GND端子270とは、凹凸を有する載置面201において、適宜な高さに設けられる。例えば、各スタッド203は、載置面201において、各領域201a、201b、201c及び201dにそれぞれ載置される電流センサ230、MOSFET210、リレー220及びヒュージブルリンク240の各端子に合わせた高さに設けられる。つまり、各スタッド203の直径は、電流センサ230、MOSFET210、リレー220及びヒュージブルリンク240の各端子に設けられた接続用開口に合わせた大きさになっており、電流センサ230、MOSFET210、リレー220及びヒュージブルリンク240は、それぞれ上面側から端子の接続用開口にスタッド203を通すことにより、補機台座200に取り付けられる。このように各スタッド203の向きを、GND端子270、SSG端子250及びLOAD端子260と同様に上向きにすることにより、自動化等により補機台座200への各部品の取り付けがしやすく仮固定も可能となるため、補機モジュール及び組電池100の生産性が向上する。
Each stud 203, SSG terminal 250, LOAD terminal 260, and GND terminal 270 are provided at an appropriate height on the mounting surface 201 having irregularities. For example, each stud 203 has a height matching the terminals of the current sensor 230, the MOSFET 210, the relay 220, and the fusible link 240 placed on each of the regions 201 a, 201 b, 201 c, and 201 d on the placement surface 201. Provided. That is, the diameter of each stud 203 is sized according to the connection opening provided in each terminal of the current sensor 230, MOSFET 210, relay 220, and fusible link 240, and the current sensor 230, MOSFET 210, relay 220. The fusible link 240 is attached to the accessory base 200 by passing the stud 203 from the upper surface side to the terminal connection opening. In this way, by making the direction of each stud 203 upward like the GND terminal 270, the SSG terminal 250, and the LOAD terminal 260, it is easy to attach each component to the auxiliary machine base 200 by automation or the like and can be temporarily fixed. Therefore, the productivity of the auxiliary machine module and the assembled battery 100 is improved.
また、本実施形態において例えば図12に示すように、補機台座200は複数の段を有しており、例えばGND端子270は段270aに、SSG端子250は段250aに、LOAD端子260は段260aに設けられる。段とは、立ち壁又はリブ202等によって区切られた領域である。GND端子270は、SSG端子250及びLOAD端子260よりも低い段に(低い高さの位置に)段違いに設けられる。具体的には、図12の補機台座200を図面奥側から見た場合の側面図である図13(c)に示す通り、GND端子270の高さh3が、SSG端子250の高さh1及びLOAD端子260の高さh2よりも低い。しかしながら、代替例として、GND端子270の高さh3は、SSG端子250の高さh1及びLOAD端子260の高さh2よりも高くてもよい。SSG端子250の高さh1とLOAD端子260の高さh2は同じであってもよいし、異なってもよい。このように、GND端子270と、SSG端子250及びLOAD端子260との高さを変えることにより、GND端子270の識別性が高まるため、組電池100を車両に搭載する際等における誤配線を防止しやすくなる。また、補機台座200は、GND端子270が設けられる載置面201とは反対側で、GND端子270に接続された総マイナス銅バスバ286を介してセルホルダ120と組み付けられる。したがって、GND端子270が、SSG端子250及びLOAD端子260よりも低い段に設けられる場合、SSG端子250及びLOAD端子260よりも高い段に設けられる場合に比べて総マイナス銅バスバ286を短くすることができる。このため、総マイナス銅バスバ286に過剰な(所定値以上の)応力が掛かることを防ぐことができる。
In this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the auxiliary machine base 200 has a plurality of stages. For example, the GND terminal 270 is in the stage 270a, the SSG terminal 250 is in the stage 250a, and the LOAD terminal 260 is in the stage. 260a. A step is an area delimited by standing walls or ribs 202. The GND terminal 270 is provided at a level lower than the SSG terminal 250 and the LOAD terminal 260 (at a low height). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13C, which is a side view when the auxiliary machine base 200 of FIG. 12 is viewed from the back side of the drawing, the height h3 of the GND terminal 270 is equal to the height h1 of the SSG terminal 250. And the height h2 of the LOAD terminal 260 is lower. However, as an alternative, the height h3 of the GND terminal 270 may be higher than the height h1 of the SSG terminal 250 and the height h2 of the LOAD terminal 260. The height h1 of the SSG terminal 250 and the height h2 of the LOAD terminal 260 may be the same or different. Thus, by changing the heights of the GND terminal 270, the SSG terminal 250, and the LOAD terminal 260, the GND terminal 270 can be identified more easily, so that incorrect wiring when the assembled battery 100 is mounted on a vehicle can be prevented. It becomes easy to do. The auxiliary machine base 200 is assembled with the cell holder 120 via a total minus copper bus bar 286 connected to the GND terminal 270 on the side opposite to the mounting surface 201 on which the GND terminal 270 is provided. Therefore, when the GND terminal 270 is provided at a level lower than the SSG terminal 250 and the LOAD terminal 260, the total minus copper bus bar 286 is shortened as compared with the case where the GND terminal 270 is provided at a level higher than the SSG terminal 250 and the LOAD terminal 260. Can do. For this reason, it is possible to prevent excessive (more than a predetermined value) stress from being applied to the total minus copper bus bar 286.
ここで、補機台座200上における、銅バスバを使用した各部品の配線について説明する。図14及び図15に示すように、銅バスバ280乃至284は、補機台座200の載置面201の凹凸に沿うように、配置される位置に応じて多様な形状を有する。
Here, the wiring of each part using the copper bus bar on the auxiliary machine base 200 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the copper bus bars 280 to 284 have various shapes according to the positions where they are arranged along the unevenness of the mounting surface 201 of the auxiliary machine base 200.

The other terminal 230 b of the current sensor 230 is electrically connected to the terminal 220 a of the relay 220 via the copper bus bar 281. The other terminal 220 b of the relay 220 is electrically connected to the terminal 210 a of the MOSFET 210 via the copper bus bar 282.

The terminal 240a of the fusible link 240 is connected to a total plus copper bus bar 285 for electrical connection to the total plus terminal bus bar 164 of the battery module group. The GND terminal 270 is connected to a total minus copper bus bar 286 for electrically connecting to the total minus terminal bus bar 165 of the battery module group. The total plus copper bus bar 285 and the total minus copper bus bar 286 extend to the lower surface side along the side surfaces 200b and 200d, respectively, and the tips of the total plus copper bus bar 286 and the auxiliary base 200 and the cell holder 120 are assembled to the total plus terminal, respectively. Contact with the bus bar 164 and the total negative terminal bus bar 165 ensures electrical connection. The total plus copper bus bar 285 and the total minus copper bus bar 286 are respectively screw holes at positions corresponding to the screw holes 123b provided in the cell holder 120 in a state where the auxiliary machine base 200 and the cell holder 120 are assembled at the tips. 285a and 286a.

なお、各銅バスバは、上述したように、補機台座200に設けられたリブ202により、互いに接触しないように配置されている。また、リレー220の端子220a及び端子220bに設けられた隔壁222も、各銅バスバが接触しないように絶縁する機能を有する。
Note that, as described above, the copper bus bars are arranged so as not to contact each other by the ribs 202 provided on the auxiliary machine base 200. Moreover, the partition 222 provided in the terminal 220a and the terminal 220b of the relay 220 also has a function of insulating the copper bus bars so that they do not contact each other.
補機台座200は、側面200b及び200dの端部に、セルホルダ120と補機台座200とをねじ留めにより固定するためのねじ穴204aを有するねじ穴形成部204を備える。ねじ穴204aは、セルホルダ120と補機台座200とが組み付けられた状態においてセルホルダ120に設けられたねじ穴123aに対応する位置に設けられる。
The auxiliary machine pedestal 200 includes a screw hole forming part 204 having screw holes 204a for fixing the cell holder 120 and the auxiliary machine pedestal 200 by screwing at the ends of the side surfaces 200b and 200d. The screw hole 204a is provided at a position corresponding to the screw hole 123a provided in the cell holder 120 in a state where the cell holder 120 and the auxiliary machine base 200 are assembled.
また、補機台座200は、側面200aの総プラス銅バスバ285を取り付けるスタッド203の近傍と、側面200cの総マイナス銅バスバ286を取り付けるGND端子270の近傍とに、係合爪205を備える。係合爪205は、セルホルダ120と補機台座200とが組み付けられた状態において、係合孔129aに対応する位置に設けられる。係合爪205は、側面200a及び200cの外部側から下面方向に延びており、係合爪205の先端部は、側面視において楔形状になっている。係合爪205の先端部が係合孔129aに嵌め込まれることにより、係合爪205と係合孔129aとが係合する。
