Publication number: 20240405303Abstract: A temperature detection unit includes a board-shaped housing having a board side face provided with a recess configured to be fitted with a side edge of a conductive board disposed between a plurality of stacked power storage modules, and a temperature detection sensor mounted on the housing and configured to measure a temperature of the power storage modules. The housing is provided with a sensor accommodating recess accommodating the temperature detection sensor. A plate end face on one side facing an intersecting direction with a direction that the board side face of the housing faces is provided with an opening configured to allow a temperature wire connected to the temperature detection sensor to extend toward the outside. The sensor accommodating recess extends obliquely to approach the conductive board from one side toward the other side in the intersecting direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicants: Yazaki Corporation, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ryuta TAKISHITA, Hirotaka HASEGAWA, Yutaro OKAZAKI, Shinichi YANAGIHARA, Norihiro OGISHIMA, Hiraku TANAKA, Kenta TANAKA, Satoshi MORIOKA, Motoyoshi OKUMURA, Hiroyuki KAIYA, Hiromi UEDA, Shinpei MUNE, Naoto MORISAKU, Yutaro KAWABATA
