Patent number: 11509023Abstract: Provided is a battery wiring module that allows module-side terminals to be easily mounted to a housing. The battery wiring module includes module-side terminals that are electrically connected to bus bars connecting battery terminals of a plurality of battery cells; wires with ends on one side connected to the module-side terminals; and a housing for accommodating the wires and the module-side terminals. The housing includes a plurality of terminal accommodating portions for accommodating the module-side terminals. The terminal accommodating portions include insertion ports into which the module-side terminals are partially inserted, and recesses that are located upstream of the insertion ports in a direction in which the module-side terminals are inserted and that are lower than terminal seat surfaces on which the module-side terminals can be placed.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Sato, Ryota Mori, Hisayoshi Yaita, Masami Suzuki, Maya Nakasuka

Patent number: 11289779Abstract: Provided is a battery wiring module that can suppress a case in which a cover comes off. The battery wiring module includes a housing having a wire storage groove that stores multiple wires. The housing includes a first storage groove and second storage grooves that both extend in an X direction and are arranged side by side in a Y direction orthogonal to the X direction, and third storage grooves that are in communication with the first storage groove and the second storage grooves. The housing includes a first cover, second covers, and third covers that respectively cover the first storage groove, the second storage grooves, and the third storage grooves. The first cover has abutting portions that abut on outer surfaces on sides of the third covers opposite to the underside surfaces opposing the third storage grooves.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Sato, Ryota Mori, Hisayoshi Yaita, Masami Suzuki, Maya Nakasuka
