Abstract

A power storage device comprises: a cell group in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked; a cylindrical housing part that houses the cell group and has an opening at each end in a stacking direction of the battery cells; an end plate that covers the opening in the housing part; a vehicle body fastening member that is formed separately from the housing part and fastens the housing part to a vehicle body; and a bolt that fastens the end plate to the housing part, wherein the vehicle body fastening member has a threaded portion to be threadedly engaged with the bolt, and is fixed to the housing part by threadedly engaging the threaded portion with the bolt provided through the end plate and the housing part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power storage device comprising:
a cell group in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked;
a quadrangular cylindrical housing part that houses the cell group and has an opening at each end in a stacking direction of the battery cells;
an end plate that covers the opening in the housing part;
a vehicle body fastening member that is formed separately from the housing part and fastens the housing part to a vehicle body; and
a bolt that fastens the end plate to the housing part,
wherein the vehicle body fastening member has an engagement protruding portion that protrudes toward the housing part and a threaded portion to be threadedly engaged with the bolt in the engagement protruding portion,
wherein an outer surface of the housing part includes an engagement recessed portion to be engaged with the engagement protruding portion of the vehicle body fastening member, and
the vehicle body fastening member is fixed to the housing part by threadedly engaging the threaded portion with the bolt provided through the end plate and the housing part in the engagement protruding portion to be housed in the engagement recessed portion.

2. The power storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the engagement recessed portion of the housing part is disposed in a corner extending in a length direction of the housing part, and
a bolt insertion hole into which the bolt is to be inserted is provided inside the corner to open to the engagement recessed portion.

3. The power storage device according to claim 2 , wherein the vehicle body fastening member includes a pair of the engagement protruding portions protruding in a U-shape toward the housing part, and
the engagement recessed portions of the housing part are provided on the two corners adjacent to each other in the housing part to correspond to the pair of engagement protruding portions of the vehicle body fastening member, respectively.

4. The power storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle body fastening member is disposed on side wall portions facing each other in a width direction of the housing part.

5. The power storage device according to claim 4 , wherein a cavity portion is provided inside the side wall portion of the housing part, and
the vehicle body fastening member is further fixed to the side wall portion by a blind nut to be inserted into the cavity portion from an outer surface of the side wall portion.

6. The power storage device according to claim 5 , wherein the side wall portion of the housing part includes at least two heat exchange medium flow paths that are arranged in a height direction of the side wall portion along a length direction of the housing part, and
the cavity portion is disposed between the two heat exchange medium flow paths.
