Abstract

A resin plate includes divided resin plates that are linked to each other at a prescribed intermediate position in a battery arrangement direction of the battery assembly. Each of the divided resin plates includes busbar housing units arranged in the battery arrangement direction, wire housing units arranged in the battery arrangement direction, and a wire housing passage disposed at a position that is distant from the other side of the busbar housing units, houses wires that are different from wires housed in the wire housing units, and extends in the battery arrangement direction with its length which is greater in length than each of the busbar housing units and each of the wire housing units. The wire housing passage is formed, at its ends, with respective link and variation absorbing portions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A resin plate comprising:
plural busbar housing units to which plural busbars are to be housed and fixed, each of the plural busbars connecting, in series, adjoining ones of plural batteries constituting a battery assembly;
plural wire housing units that are disposed in a vicinity of one side of the busbar housing units and that house wires leading from the busbar housing units;
divided resin plates that are linked to each other at a prescribed intermediate position in a battery arrangement direction of the battery assembly,
wherein each of the divided resin plates comprises:
a busbar housing unit assembly row unit which is formed by arranging the busbar housing units in the battery arrangement direction;
a wire housing unit assembly row unit which is formed by arranging the wire housing units in the battery arrangement direction; and
a wire housing passage disposed at a position that is distant from the other side of the busbar housing units, houses wires that are different from the wires housed in the wire housing units, and extends in the battery arrangement direction with its length which is greater in length than each of the busbar housing units and each of the wire housing units; and

wherein the wire housing passage is formed, at its ends, with respective link and variation absorbing portions having both of a function of linking adjoining ones of the divided resin plates and a function of absorbing deviations in the battery arrangement direction.

2. A busbar module comprising:
the resin plate according to claim 1 ;
busbars which are housed and fixed to the plural respective busbar housing units of the resin plate respectively; and
various wires housed in the wire housing units and the wire housing passages of the resin plate.
