[0008] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0009] (1) A wiring module according to the present disclosure is a wiring module attached to a plurality of energy storage elements having electrode terminals, the wiring module including a plurality of bus bars, a plurality of circuit boards, a plurality of electric wires, and a protector that holds the plurality of bus bars, the plurality of circuit boards, and the plurality of electric wires, wherein each of the bus bars is connected to the electrode terminal, each of the circuit boards is electrically connected to each of the bus bars, and each of the electric wires is connected to each of the circuit boards, and the protector has a wire accommodating section that accommodates the plurality of electric wires, a mounting surface on which each of the circuit boards is mounted, and a contact portion that is capable of contacting each of the electric wires arranged outside the wire accommodating section from the opposite side to the mounting surface in a first direction perpendicular to the mounting surface. Note that orthogonal here also includes an intersection that is recognized as being substantially orthogonal.

[0010] With this configuration, when vibration is applied to the multiple electric wires, the electric wires arranged outside the electric wire housing come into contact with the mounting surface and the contact portion, and are subjected to friction from the mounting surface and the contact portion. This makes it difficult for the vibration to be transmitted to the connection portions between the electric wires and the circuit boards. Therefore, damage to the connection portions between the electric wires and the circuit boards can be suppressed.

[0011] (2) In the wiring module described in (1), it is preferable that the protector comprises a protector body and a cover that is overlapped with the protector body in the first direction, the protector body having the above-mentioned mounting surface, and the cover having the contact portion.

[0012] According to this configuration, the contact portion can be easily provided, and the electric wires can be easily routed to the protector.

[0013] (3) In the wiring module described in (1) or (2), it is preferable that the protector has a recess recessed from the mounting surface, and the contact portion overlaps the recess when viewed from the first direction.

[0014] According to this configuration, the electric wires arranged outside the electric wire housing can be bent and arranged inside the recess, and the contact portion can be pressed against the electric wires, thereby increasing friction between the contact portion and the electric wires and further suppressing damage to the connection portions between the electric wires and the circuit boards.

[0015] (4) In the wiring module described in (3), it is preferable that a distance in the first direction between a bottom surface of the recess and the contact portion is set to be larger than a diameter of each of the electric wires.

[0016] With this configuration, if the distance in the first direction between the bottom surface of the recess and the contact portion becomes small due to manufacturing tolerances of the protector, etc., it is possible to prevent each electric wire from being pinched between the bottom surface of the recess and the contact portion and being damaged.

[0017] (5) In the wiring module described in (1) or (2), it is preferable that the protector is elastically deformable in the first direction and has an elastic piece having the contact portion, and the elastic piece clamps each of the electric wires between the mounting surface.

[0018] With this configuration, the electric wires arranged outside the electric wire housing are clamped between the elastic piece and the mounting surface, which increases the friction between the electric wires and the mounting surface and the contact portion, thereby further suppressing damage to the connection portions between the electric wires and the circuit boards.

[0019] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] The present disclosure will be described below with reference to the embodiments. The present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0023] [Wiring module] The wiring module 20 comprises a bus bar 30 connected to the electrode terminal of the energy storage element 11, a circuit board 21 connected to the bus bar 30, an electric wire 40 connected to the circuit board 21, and a protector 50 that holds the bus bar 30, the circuit board 21, and the electric wire 40.

[0024] [Busbar] The busbar 30 is made of a metal plate and has a rectangular shape in a plan view. The busbar 30 includes a connection busbar 30A that connects between adjacent electrode terminals in the stacking direction (front-rear direction) of the multiple energy storage elements 11, and an output busbar 30B that is connected to an electrode terminal of the energy storage element 11 arranged at an end in the stacking direction. The output busbar 30B connects the total positive electrode or total negative electrode of the multiple energy storage elements 11 to an external device. The busbar 30 is connected to the electrode terminals by welding or the like. The busbar 30 is accommodated in a busbar accommodating portion 51 of a protector 50 described below.

[0025] [Circuit board] In this embodiment, the circuit board 21 is a flexible board, and is configured by forming a conductive path on the surface of a flexible insulating sheet by a printed wiring technology. The circuit board 21 includes a board body 22 and an extension portion 23 extending from the board body 22. The board body 22 has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. The board body 22 is fixed to a mounting surface 54 of a protector 50 described later. Although not shown in detail, for example, the board body 22 is provided with an insertion hole, and a protrusion protruding from the mounting surface 54 is inserted into the insertion hole. The board body 22 is provided with an electric wire land 22A arranged at one end of the conductive path. The electric wire land 22A is connected to the electric wire 40 by soldering or the like.

[0026] The extension portion 23 has a generally U-shape in a plan view and is configured to be extendable and contractible. The provision of the extension portion 23 allows the end portion (tip portion) of the extension portion 23 opposite the substrate main body 22 to be displaced a predetermined dimension relative to the substrate main body 22. The other end (not shown) of the conductive path is disposed at the tip portion of the extension portion 23. The other end of the conductive path is electrically connected to the bus bar 30 via the metal piece 15.

[0027] Although not shown, a fuse or the like may be provided in the conductive path of circuit board 21. Circuit board 21 also has a plurality of conductive paths, and the conductive paths may include a part of a thermistor circuit for measuring the temperature of energy storage element 11.

[0028] [Electric wire] The electric wires 40 connected to the circuit board 21 are collectively accommodated in an electric wire accommodating section 52 of the protector 50, which will be described later. The multiple electric wires 40 are arranged to extend in the front-rear direction in the electric wire accommodating section 52. Although not shown, the multiple electric wires 40 may be integrated in the electric wire accommodating section 52 with a tape, a bundling member, or the like.

[0029] The electric wires 40 are connected to a connector (not shown) at an end opposite to the circuit board 21. This connector is adapted to be connected to an external ECU (Electronic Control Unit) or the like. The ECU is equipped with a microcomputer, elements, etc., and has a well-known configuration including functions for detecting the voltage, current, temperature, etc. of each storage element 11, and controlling the charging and discharging of each storage element 11, etc.

[0030] [Protector] The protector 50 is made of insulating synthetic resin. The protector 50 includes a protector body 50A and a cover 50B that covers the protector body 50A from above. In this embodiment, two covers 50B (only one cover 50B is shown in FIG. 2) are provided for one protector body 50A.

[0031] [Protector body] The protector body 50A is tray-shaped. As shown in Fig. 3, the protector body 50A includes a busbar accommodating portion 51 for accommodating the busbar 30, an electric wire accommodating portion 52 for accommodating the multiple electric wires 40, and an intermediate wiring portion 53 arranged between the busbar accommodating portion 51 and the electric wire accommodating portion 52. The busbar accommodating portions 51 are provided at both ends in the left-right direction of the protector body 50A. The busbar accommodating portions 51 are frame-shaped and arranged side by side in the front-rear direction.

[0032] [Wire storage section] Two electric wire accommodating portions 52 are provided near the left-right center of the protector body 50A. The electric wire accommodating portions 52 are groove-shaped and extend in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 6, the electric wire accommodating portion 52 includes a bottom wall 52A and a pair of side walls 52B rising upward from both left and right end edges of the bottom wall 52A. A notch portion 52C is formed in the side wall 52B on the intermediate wiring portion 53 side of the electric wire accommodating portion 52. The electric wire 40 is adapted to be received from the intermediate wiring portion 53 into the electric wire accommodating portion 52 through the notch portion 52C.

[0033] [Concave] As shown in FIG. 2, the intermediate wiring section 53 has a circuit board 21 and an electric wire 40 connected to the circuit board 21. The intermediate wiring section 53 has a mounting surface 54 on which the circuit board 21 is mounted, and a recess 55 recessed from the mounting surface 54 toward the energy storage device 11 (downward). The mounting surface 54 is a surface perpendicular to the up-down direction (an example of a first direction). The recess 55 has a rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction in a plan view. As shown in FIG. 6, the recess 55 is disposed near the cutout portion 52C of the electric wire housing section 52. The recess 55 has a bottom surface 55A that is approximately parallel to the mounting surface 54, and a first connection surface 55B and a second connection surface 55C that are connected to both left and right end edges of the bottom surface 55A. The first connection surface 55B and the second connection surface 55C connect the bottom surface 55A and the mounting surface 54. The second connection surface 55C is disposed closer to the electric wire accommodating portion 52 than the first connection surface 55B. The first connection surface 55B and the second connection surface 55C are inclined downward toward the bottom surface 55A.

[0034] The intermediate wiring section 53 is provided with a partition wall 56 that is disposed around the recess 55 and rises upward from the mounting surface 54. The partition wall 56 is connected to the side wall 52B of the electric wire accommodating section 52. The partition wall 56 is provided with an opening 56A at a position that faces the cutout portion 52C in the left-right direction. By providing the partition wall 56 in this manner, the electric wire 40 can be disposed at a position that overlaps the recess 55 in a plan view by inserting the electric wire 40 through the cutout portion 52C and the opening 56A.

[0035] [Cover, contact part] 2 and 3, the cover 50B is configured to be able to close the electric wire housing portion 52 and the intermediate wiring portion 53 of the protector body 50A from above. As shown in Fig. 7, the cover 50B includes a top plate portion 57 and a contact portion 58 provided to protrude downward from the top plate portion 57. The contact portion 58 is, for example, block-shaped. The contact portion 58 is able to come into contact with the mounting surface 54 from the side opposite the mounting surface 54 in a first direction (vertical direction) perpendicular to the mounting surface 54.

[0036] In a state where the protector body 50A is covered with the cover 50B, the contact portion 58 overlaps the recess 55 in a plan view, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 2. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the contact portion 58 is disposed inside the partition wall 56, and the electric wire 40 is disposed between the contact portion 58 and the bottom surface 55A of the recess 55. It is assumed that the electric wire 40 contacts the mounting surface 54 in the region between the connection portion with the circuit board 21 and the recess 55. The contact portion 58 is also provided so as to press the electric wire 40 disposed on the recess 55 toward the bottom surface 55A of the recess 55. That is, the lower end of the electric wire 40 is disposed below the mounting surface 54 in the recess 55, and the electric wire 40 is bent in the region from the outside to the inside of the recess 55. In detail, the lower end of the contact portion 58 is disposed at a position lower than the position of the upper end of the electric wire 40 placed on the mounting surface 54 in the vertical direction.

[0037] 4, in this embodiment, the recess 55 has a first connection surface 55B and a second connection surface 55C at both end edges in the extension direction (left-right direction) of the bottom surface 55A of the electric wire 40. The first connection surface 55B and the second connection surface 55C are provided so as to be inclined downward toward the bottom surface 55A side. Therefore, when the electric wire 40 is pressed into the recess 55 by the contact portion 58, the electric wire 40 is easily bent, and the electric wire 40 is less likely to be damaged at both left and right end edges of the recess 55.

[0038] 4 and 5, in this embodiment, a distance D1 between the contact portion 58 and a bottom surface 55A of the recess 55 is larger than a diameter R1 of the electric wire 40. This makes it possible to prevent the electric wire 40 from being pinched between the contact portion 58 and the recess 55 and being damaged, even if the manufacturing tolerance of the contact portion 58 and the recess 55 is large.

[0039] [Effects of contact area] Since the wiring module 20 of the present embodiment is used in the vehicle 1, it is considered that vibrations are applied to the electric wires 40. In particular, when the electric wires 40 are integrated in the electric wire housing portion 52 with a tape or the like, the vibrations applied to each electric wire 40 may become large. In addition, the electric wires 40 are connected to a connector, and it is considered that a tensile stress is applied to the electric wires 40 when the connector is connected to an external ECU or the like.

[0040] In this embodiment, as described above, the mounting surface 54 is capable of contacting the electric wires 40 from below, and the contact portion 58 is capable of contacting the electric wires 40 from above. Therefore, when vibration or tensile stress is applied to the electric wires 40, friction occurs between the electric wires 40 and the mounting surface 54 and the contact portion 58. This friction can prevent the vibration or tensile stress applied to the multiple electric wires 40 from being transmitted to the connection portion between the electric wires 40 and the circuit board 21, which is disposed outside the electric wire accommodating portion 52. Therefore, even when vibration or tensile stress is applied to the multiple electric wires 40, damage to the connection portion between the electric wires 40 and the circuit board 21 can be prevented.

[0041] [Effects of embodiment 1] According to the first embodiment, the following actions and effects are achieved. The wiring module 20 in the first embodiment is a wiring module 20 attached to a plurality of energy storage elements 11 having electrode terminals, and includes a plurality of bus bars 30, a plurality of circuit boards 21, a plurality of electric wires 40, and a protector 50 that holds the plurality of bus bars 30, the plurality of circuit boards 21, and the plurality of electric wires 40, wherein each bus bar 30 is connected to an electrode terminal, each circuit board 21 is electrically connected to each bus bar 30, and each electric wire 40 is connected to each circuit board 21, and the protector 50 has a wire accommodating section 52 in which the plurality of electric wires 40 are accommodated, a mounting surface 54 on which each circuit board 21 is placed, and a contact portion 58 that is capable of contacting each electric wire 40 arranged outside the wire accommodating section 52 from the side opposite to the mounting surface 54 in a first direction (up-down direction) perpendicular to the mounting surface 54.

[0042] According to this configuration, when vibration is applied to the multiple electric wires 40, each electric wire 40 arranged outside the electric wire accommodating portion 52 comes into contact with the mounting surface 54 and the contact portion 58, and is subjected to friction from the mounting surface 54 and the contact portion 58. This makes it difficult for the vibration to be transmitted to the connection portion between each electric wire 40 and each circuit board 21. Therefore, damage to the connection portion between each electric wire 40 and each circuit board 21 can be suppressed.

[0043] In the first embodiment, the protector 50 includes a protector body 50A and a cover 50B that is overlapped with the protector body 50A in the first direction. The protector body 50A includes a mounting surface 54, and the cover 50B includes a contact portion 58.

[0044] According to such a configuration, it is possible to easily provide the contact portion 58. Also, it becomes easy to route the electric wires 40 to the protector 50.

[0045] In the first embodiment, the protector 50 has a recess 55 recessed from the mounting surface 54, and the contact portion 58 overlaps with the recess 55 when viewed from the first direction.

[0046] According to this configuration, each electric wire 40 arranged outside the electric wire accommodating portion 52 can be arranged in a bent state inside the recess 55, and the contact portion 58 can be pressed against each electric wire 40. This increases the friction between the contact portion 58 and each electric wire 40, and further suppresses damage to the connection portion between each electric wire 40 and each circuit board 21.

[0047] In the first embodiment, a distance D1 in the first direction between the bottom surface 55A of the recess 55 and the contact portion 58 is set to be larger than a diameter R1 of each electric wire 40.

[0048] With this configuration, when the distance D1 in the first direction between the bottom surface 55A of the recess 55 and the contact portion 58 becomes small due to manufacturing tolerances of the protector 50 or the like, it is possible to prevent each electric wire 40 from being pinched between the bottom surface 55A of the recess 55 and the contact portion 58 and being damaged.

[0049] <Embodiment 2> A second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 8 to Fig. 12. The wiring module 120 according to the second embodiment is configured similarly to the first embodiment except for the protector 150, and therefore the same members and effects as those of the first embodiment will not be described. Note that, for multiple identical members, only some of the members may be given reference numerals, and the reference numerals of the other members may be omitted.

[0050] As shown in Fig. 8, the protector 150 of the wiring module 120 includes a protector body 150A and a cover 150B. As shown in Fig. 11, the intermediate wiring portion 153 of the protector body 150A has a mounting surface 54 but does not have the recess 55 of the first embodiment. In the intermediate wiring portion 153, the partition wall 56 is provided at the same position as in the first embodiment.

[0051] 12, the cover 150B includes a top plate portion 57 and an elastic piece 160 extending from the top plate portion 57. The elastic piece 160 is elastically deformable in the up-down direction. The elastic piece 160 includes a contact portion 161 at the center in the extending direction (left-right direction). The contact portion 161 is in the shape of a plate extending in the horizontal direction.

[0052] 9 and 10, when the cover 150B is attached to the protector body 150A, the electric wire 40 is sandwiched between the contact portion 161 and the mounting surface 54 disposed inside the partition wall 56. With this configuration, friction occurs between the electric wire 40 and the mounting surface 54 and the contact portion 161. Therefore, even if vibration or tensile stress is applied to the electric wire 40, the connection portion between the electric wire 40 and the circuit board 21 is unlikely to be damaged.

[0053] Since the contact portion 161 is provided on the elastic piece 160 which is elastically deformable in the vertical direction, even if the electric wire 40 is clamped between the contact portion 161 and the mounting surface 54, the electric wire 40 is unlikely to be damaged.

[0054] [Effects of the second embodiment] According to the second embodiment, the following actions and effects are achieved. In the second embodiment, the protector 150 is elastically deformable in a first direction and includes an elastic piece 160 having a contact portion 161, and the elastic piece 160 holds each electric wire 40 between itself and the mounting surface .

[0055] According to this configuration, each electric wire 40 arranged outside the electric wire accommodating portion 52 is clamped between the elastic piece 160 and the mounting surface 54, so that it is possible to increase friction between each electric wire 40 and the mounting surface 54 and between each electric wire 40 and the contact portion 161. Therefore, damage to the connection portion between each electric wire 40 and each circuit board 21 can be further suppressed.

[0056] <Other embodiments> (1) In the above first and second embodiments, the protectors 50 and 150 include the protector main bodies 50A and 150A and the covers 50B and 150B, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the protector may be composed of a single member. (2) In the above first and second embodiments, the circuit board 21 is a flexible board, but this is not limited thereto, and the circuit board may be a rigid board. (3) In the above first and second embodiments, the partition wall 56 is provided, but this is not limiting, and the partition wall may be omitted. [Explanation of symbols]
