Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A electric wire connection structure includes a flat cable including a plurality of linear conductors and an insulator covering the linear conductors; a plurality of busbars for electrically connecting electrode terminals provided on two or more of battery cells stretched in a given direction among the plurality of battery cells stacked in the direction and included in a battery module, the electrode terminals being lined up in the direction; and connecting members provided for each combination of the linear conductors and the busbars to include a connecting member main body and a pressure welding blade portion connected to the connecting member main body, a pressure welding groove being formed on the pressure welding blade portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An electric wire connection structure comprising: a flat cable including a plurality of linear conductors and an insulator covering the linear conductors separated from each other and disposed on the same plane; a plurality of busbars for electrically connecting electrode terminals provided on at least two or more battery cells stretched in a given direction among a plurality of battery cells stacked in the direction and included in a battery module, the electrode terminals being lined up in the direction; and a connecting member provided for each combination of the linear conductors and the busbars to include a connecting member main body and a pressure welding blade portion connected to the connecting member main body, a pressure welding groove being formed on the pressure welding blade portion, wherein the connecting member allows an inner edge of the pressure welding groove to touch the linear conductors exposed from the insulator due to press-fitting into the pressure welding groove, and allows the connecting member main body to be electrically connected to the busbars. 2 . The electric wire connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting member electrically connects a portion of the connecting member main body to the busbars by welding the portion to the busbars. 3 . The electric wire connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting member is provided to extend from the busbars. 4 . The electric wire connection structure according to claim 3 , wherein the busbars and the connecting member are formed by punching a metallic plate, and the connecting member main body of the connecting member is bent such that a direction in which the pressure welding blade portion is press-fitted is perpendicular to the busbars having flat plate-shaped.
