Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A terminal block for a vehicle-mounted battery assembly, the terminal block being attached to a total positive/negative terminal block which is attached to the vehicle-mounted battery assembly. An external extraction positive-side fastening portion and an external extraction negative-side fastening portion are positioned at different heights. A terminal cover is configured to cover the external extraction positive-side fastening portion. The terminal cover includes a fitting portion fitted into the terminal block for the vehicle-mounted battery assembly, a hinge portion engaged with the fitted portion, an arm portion engaged with the hinge portion, and a cover body engaged with the arm portion. The arm portion has a predetermined length, so that by hinge operation of the hinge portion, the cover body covers both the external extraction positive-side fastening portion and the external extraction negative-side fastening portion which are positioned at different heights.

What is claimed is: 1. A terminal block for a vehicle-mounted battery assembly, the terminal block being attached to a total positive/negative terminal block which is attached to the vehicle-mounted battery assembly, the terminal block comprising: an external extraction positive-side fastening portion and an external extraction negative-side fastening portion which are positioned at different heights; and a terminal cover configured to cover the external extraction positive-side fastening portion, wherein the terminal cover includes a fitting portion fitted into the terminal block for the vehicle-mounted battery assembly, a hinge portion engaged with the fitted portion, an arm portion engaged with the hinge portion, and a cover body engaged with the arm portion, and the arm portion has a predetermined length, so that by hinge operation of the hinge portion, the cover body covers both the external extraction positive-side fastening portion and the external extraction negative-side fastening portion which are positioned at different heights. 2. The terminal block for the vehicle-mounted battery assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal block for the vehicle-mounted battery assembly and the terminal cover are respectively provided with a first lock function for locking the terminal cover in a state in which the terminal cover covers the external extraction positive-side fastening portion, and a second lock function for locking the terminal cover in a state in which the terminal cover covers the external extraction negative-side fastening portion. 3. The terminal block for the vehicle-mounted battery assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal block for the vehicle-mounted battery assembly and the terminal cover are respectively provided with a rattling prevention function of preventing rattling of the terminal cover in a state in which the terminal cover covers the external extraction positive-side fastening portion. 4. The terminal block for the vehicle-mounted battery assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal cover does not cover both the external extraction positive-side fastening portion and the external extraction negative-side fastening portion at the same time. 5. The terminal block for the vehicle-mounted battery assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal cover body moves between a first position where the external extraction positive-side fastening portion is covered with the cover body and a second position where the external extraction negative-side fastening portion is covered with the cover body, by the hinge operation of the hinge portion, thereby selectively covering the external extraction positive-side fastening portion or the external extraction negative-side fastening portion with the cover, and wherein the first position is different from the second position.
