Patent number: 9252408Abstract: The heater module wire connection structure for a battery pack includes a battery pack (11), and first and second heater modules (22L, 23L) which warm the inside of the battery pack and have lead wires (44L, 45L) connected thereto. Further, the heater module wire connection structure includes a power supply cable (42) to which the lead wires of the first and second heater modules are crimped and connected, and a temperature sensor (43C) which is placed inside of the battery pack and detects the temperature of the first heater module (23L). The lead wire (45L) of the first heater module, the temperature of which is detectable by the temperature sensor, and the lead wire (44L) of the second heater module (22L), the temperature of which is not detectable by the temperature sensor, are simultaneously crimped and connected to the same position on the power supply cable.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yukiko Kinoshita, Naoto Todoroki

Patent number: 8993937Abstract: A heater module (22L, 22R) of the present invention is provided along a heated surface (13CLa) of an object to be heated (13CL, 13CR). The heater module includes a plate-like heater body (34) that faces the heated surface of the object to be heated, and an insulating holder (31) that holds the plate-like heater body in a manner as to face the heated surface of the object to be heated. The insulating holder is fixed, at one edge thereof, to a mounting surface (14a) on which the object to be heated is mounted, and located on one side of the plate-like heater body away from the heated surface of the object to be heated. The insulating holder is provided, at another edge opposite to the one edge, with a regulation member (31a) that projects toward the heated surface of the object to be heated from the plate-like heater body.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoto Todoroki, Yukiko Kinoshita
