Patent number: 11329350Abstract: A bus bar module includes a case assembled to a battery assembly including single cells, a bus bar held in the case and fastened to electrodes of the single cells, a circuit body connected to the bus bar and is wired in the case, and a circuit board to which the circuit body is connected. The case includes a case main body including a board accommodation space, and a lid body attached to one side at which the board accommodation space in the case main body is open. The circuit body is led from an opening portion into the board accommodation space, the opening portion being formed on a surface of the other side opposite to the one side of the board accommodation space in the case main body. The circuit body is soldered to the circuit board from the one side.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Shinichi Yanagihara, Takuto Goto

Patent number: 10886519Abstract: A conductor module for terminal includes a bus bar, a state detector including a detection conductor, and a fixing member fixing the state detector to the bus bar. The bus bar includes a connection surface to which the detection conductor is electrically connected, and two fixing holes formed with the placed state detector interposed therebetween. The fixing member includes a main body that the state detector is made contact with, and plastically deformable fixing legs. Each of the fixing legs is inserted in the fixing hole from the connection surface side and projects from the fixed surface. In a fixed state, when the fixing leg is seen from an axis direction of the fixing hole, a tip of the fixing leg is disposed on the outside in a radial direction than the fixing holes.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Katsunori Sato, Takuto Goto, Shinichi Yanagihara, Yoshiaki Ichikawa, Takao Shoji

Publication number: 20180175535Abstract: A conductor module includes a busbar, an accommodation case, and a fixing member. The accommodation case has two or more fixing holes that pass through a fixing body first surface and a fixing body second surface. The fixing member includes a main body and fixing legs. The fixing legs are associated with the respective fixing holes, and have a part of the busbar interposed therebetween. The fixing legs are capable of plastic deformation by external force, are inserted in the respective fixing holes from a side of the fixing body first surface to protrude from a side of the fixing body second surface, and, under a fixed condition in which the busbar is fixed to the accommodation case by the fixing member, have leading ends disposed on an outside in a radial direction with respect to the fixing holes as viewed in an axial direction of the fixing holes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2017Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Katsunori Sato, Takuto Goto, Shinichi Yanagihara, Yoshiaki Ichikawa, Takao Shoji
