Abstract

An attachment structure for a temperature detector, includes a battery module including a plurality of battery cells each having a pair of electrode terminals, an insulating cover configured to be attached to the battery module so as to cover the electrode terminals, a temperature detector configured to contact with a temperature measuring face of the battery cells and detect a temperature of the battery cells, and a temperature detector holding portion formed in the insulating cover. The plurality of battery cells are disposed to stack one another. The temperature detector holding portion hold the temperature detector in a position where the temperature detector contacts with the temperature measuring face when the insulating cover is attached to the battery module.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An attachment structure for a temperature detector, the attachment structure comprising:
a battery module comprising a plurality of battery cells each having a pair of electrode terminals, the plurality of battery cells being disposed to stack one another; an insulating cover configured to be attached to the battery module so as to cover the electrode terminals; a temperature detector configured to contact with a temperature measuring face of the battery cells and detect a temperature of the battery cells; and a temperature detector holding portion formed in the insulating cover, wherein the temperature detector holding portion holds the temperature detector in a position where the temperature detector contacts with the temperature measuring face when the insulating cover is attached to the battery module.

2 . The attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature detector holding portion is disposed so as to be displaced to one side of the insulating cover relatively to an electrode pole receiving portion formed in the insulating cover for receiving the electrode terminals.

3 . The attachment structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a battery wiring module configured to be assembled with the battery module, wherein the battery wiring module comprises:
a plurality of linear conductors that are disposed in parallel and at predetermined intervals;
a plurality of bus bars that are disposed in parallel along at least one sides of the linear conductors and at predetermined intervals from one another so as to electrically connect adjacent ones of the electrode terminals of the battery cells; and
an insulating resin portion that integrally covers outer circumferential portions of the linear conductors and side edge portions of the bus bars adjacent to the linear conductors; and
wherein the linear conductors are electrically connected with corresponding ones of the bus bars respectively.
