  • Patent number: 11876249
    Abstract: A conductive module includes: a conductive component as a flat flexible printed circuit substrate that electrically connects electric conductors to a plurality of battery cells; a thermistor that is placed on as electrical connection part of a bifurcating body of the conductive component and detects the temperature of a battery cell as a temperature detection target; and a housing that houses or/and holds the conductive component. The bifurcated body includes a coupling part that couples the electrical connection part to a main body. The electrical connection part is a part to which heat of an outer wall surface of the battery cell is directly or indirectly transferred from a surface on a side opposite to a placement surface on which the thermistor is placed.

  • Patent number: 10855006
    Abstract: A first coupling body is disposed as part of a housing body, has a bottom part, and has a first and a second vertical wall parts. A second coupling body is formed so as to cover a space between the first vertical wall part and the second vertical wall part in the bottom part inside the housing chamber. The holding mechanism includes a first projection projecting from a first end of the second coupling body toward the first vertical wall part side, a second projection projecting from a second end of the second coupling body toward the second vertical wall part side, a first through-hole that is formed in the first vertical wall part, and a second through-hole that is formed in the second vertical wall part, the first end covering the first vertical wall part, the second end covering the second vertical wall part.

  • Patent number: 10355434
    Abstract: A clamp includes a clamp base part having a first step, a hinge part that is formed on a thinned portion connected continuously to the clamp base part, a clamp moving part having a second step, and a plurality of retention parts formed in a state that the clamp moving part is engaged with the clamp base part. The clamp base part is provided on a structure in which a cable and/or an electric wire is routed and formed such that the cable and/or the electric wire is placed thereon. One end of the clamp moving part is connected continuously to the hinge part, the other end of the clamp moving part is engaged with the clamp base part, and the cable and/or the electric wire is covered from the one end to a middle portion of the clamp moving part.

  • Publication number: 20180175344
    Abstract: A housing member includes a housing body; a lid including respective closing portions for a plurality of openings forming a step; a hinge body that couples a reference-opening edge portion and an end portion of a reference closing portion and lets the lid turn with respect to the housing body; a first retaining mechanism that includes a first engaging body arranged between an offset opening and an offset closing portion and provided on one of an offset-opening edge portion and an end portion of the offset closing portion, and a first engaged body provided on the other, and retains the lid to the housing body at a closed position; and a second retaining mechanism arranged between the reference-opening edge portion and an end portion of the reference closing portion. The first engaging body and the first engaged body are formed to avoid exerting pressing force until being fully engaged.
