[0009] The embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, components having the same or similar functions will be denoted by the same reference numerals. Duplication of these components may be omitted. Note that the components described below do not limit the scope of the embodiments.

[0010] In this disclosure, terms are defined as follows: “Connection” may include electrical connections, not just mechanical ones. That is, “Connection” may include cases where two elements to be connected are connected with another element in between, not just directly connected. “Accommodation” may include cases where only a portion of a part is accommodated (with the remaining portion of the part protruding), not just the entire part. “Parallel,” “orthogonal,” or “same” may include cases where they are “approximately parallel,” “approximately orthogonal,” or “approximately the same,” respectively.

[0011] In this disclosure, the +X direction, -X direction, +Y direction, -Y direction, +Z direction, and -Z direction are defined as follows: The X direction is one direction within the plane on which the base plate 10, described later, extends. The +X direction is one of the X directions. The -X direction is the direction opposite to the +X direction. Hereinafter, when the +X direction and the -X direction are not distinguished, they will simply be referred to as the "X direction". The Y direction is a direction that intersects (e.g., is orthogonal to) the X direction within the plane on which the base plate 10, described later, extends. The +Y direction is one of the Y directions. The -Y direction is the direction opposite to the +Y direction. Hereinafter, when the +Y direction and the -Y direction are not distinguished, they will simply be referred to as the "Y direction". The +Z direction and the -Z direction are directions that intersect (e.g., are orthogonal to) the X direction and the Y direction. The +Z direction is the direction from the second surface 12 to the first surface 11 in the base plate 10, described later. The -Z direction is the opposite direction to the +Z direction. In the following, when the +Z and -Z directions are not distinguished, they will simply be referred to as the "Z direction." The Z direction is an example of a "first direction."

[0012] In the following, when the X and Y directions are not distinguished, they may be referred to as the "horizontal direction." In the following, the Z direction may be referred to as the "vertical direction." Also, in the following, the +Z direction may be referred to as "up," and the -Z direction as "down." However, these expressions are for the convenience of explanation and do not limit the direction of gravity of the cable routing substrate 1 (the installation orientation of the cable routing substrate 1).

[0013] (Embodiment) <1. Configuration of the wiring board> Figure 1 is an overall view of the wiring substrate 1 of the embodiment. Figure 2 is an overall view of the wiring substrate 1 of the embodiment excluding the cover portion 50. Furthermore, Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the wiring substrate 1 in a partially exploded state. The wiring substrate 1 is a member that forms at least a portion of the electrical conduction paths between electronic components and / or at least a portion of the electrical conduction paths between electronic components and external devices and / or at least a portion of the electrical conduction paths between external devices. In this disclosure, "wiring substrate" means a substrate-type wiring structure. "Substrate-type" means that, when viewed as a whole, regardless of the fine shape, it is in the shape of a plate along a single plane. In this disclosure, "plate-like" is not limited to the case where it is perfectly flat, but may include the case where there are fixing structures or ribs protruding in the Z direction. In this embodiment, the wiring substrate is in the shape of a plate along the X and Y directions.

[0014] Furthermore, the wiring board 1 is applicable to in-vehicle equipment installed in vehicles such as EVs (Electric Vehicles), HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), or PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles). Such in-vehicle equipment is connected to multiple external devices located outside the vehicle. In-vehicle equipment having the wiring board 1 mediates the connections between multiple external devices. In other words, the wiring board 1 is used in electrical connection units, such as those referred to as "electrical connection boxes" or "junction boxes." However, electrical connection units are not limited to box-shaped devices.

[0015] Here, the external device may include, for example, a battery pack having a plurality of batteries, a device including an inverter for driving a motor of a vehicle, or a charger that is a device for supplying power for charging the battery pack.

[0016] The wiring board 1 according to this embodiment includes a base plate 10, an electrical element 20, a pair of bus bars 30, a fixture 40, and a cover portion 50.

[0017] (Base plate) The base plate 10 is a holding member to which various components described later can be attached. The base plate 10 extends in the X direction and the Y direction. The main part of the base plate 10 has a plurality of ribs inside and is formed in a plate shape along the horizontal direction. The base plate 10 is made of, for example, synthetic resin and has insulating properties. The base plate 10 has a first surface 11, a second surface 12, and a housing portion 13.

[0018] The first surface 11 is a surface of the base plate 10 that faces one side in the first direction, that is, the +Z direction. The first surface 11 is a surface on one side of the base plate 10 and is a plane along the horizontal direction. The electrical element 20, the fixture 40, and the pair of bus bars 30 described later can be attached to the first surface 11. The second surface 12 is a surface of the base plate 10 that faces the other side (opposite side) in the first direction, that is, the -Z direction. The second surface 12 is a surface of the base plate 10 that faces the opposite side of the first surface 11 and is a plane along the horizontal direction. That is, the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 extend perpendicular to the Z direction.

[0019] The housing portion 13 is formed to be able to house at least a part of the electrical element 20. FIG. 4 shows an enlarged view of the vicinity of the housing portion 13. The housing portion 13 is formed on the first surface 11 of the base plate 10. The electrical element 20 can be fixed to the housing portion 13. The housing portion 13 has a mounting hole 14 and a fixing portion 17.

[0020] The fixing portion 17 can fix the fixing device 40, which will be described later. The fixing portion 17 can also fix the fixing device 40 so as to connect the connecting portion 22 and the busbar 30, which will be described later. The fixing portion 17 has a fixing surface 18. The fixing surface 18 extends along the first surface 11. In this embodiment, the fixing surface 18 extends parallel to the first surface 11. In the Z direction, the fixing surface 18 is positioned farther from the second surface 12 relative to the electrical element body 21, which will be described later. In other words, the fixing surface 18 is positioned further from the second surface 12 relative to the first surface 11 in the Z direction.

[0021] In this embodiment, the fixing part 17 is a nut. The fixing part 17 is fixed in a state where it is housed in a hole formed in the first surface 11. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a pair of fixing parts 17 are arranged in the +X direction and the -X direction with respect to the mounting hole 14. That is, with respect to the mounting hole 14, the first fixing part 17a is arranged in the +X direction, and the second fixing part 17b is arranged in the -X direction. Also, with respect to the fixing surface 18, the side with the first fixing part 17a is called the first fixing surface 18a, and the side with the second fixing part 17b is called the second fixing surface 18b. In this embodiment, the first fixing surface 18a and the second fixing surface 18b are located at separate positions in the X direction and are spread out on the same plane.

[0022] The mounting hole 14 is part of the base plate 10 and is formed as a recess from the first surface 11 toward the second surface 12 (towards the -Z direction). In this embodiment, the mounting hole 14 is formed in a position recessed toward the -Z direction relative to the fixing surface 18. The mounting hole 14 is formed to extend horizontally. The mounting hole 14 can accommodate the electrical element body 21, which will be described later, inside. The mounting hole 14 has a bottom surface 15 and a side surface 16.

[0023] The bottom surface 15 is a surface that extends in the same direction as the first surface 11 within the mounting hole 14. The bottom surface 15 extends horizontally. The bottom surface 15 is formed along the fixed surface 18. In this embodiment, the bottom surface 15 is formed parallel to the fixed surface 18. In the Z direction, the bottom surface 15 extends toward the electrical element 20 (electrical element body 21) housed inside the mounting hole 14. In the Z direction, the bottom surface is positioned close to the second surface 12 relative to the fixed surface 18. Furthermore, the bottom surface 15 is formed so as not to come into contact with the electrical element 20 when the electrical element 20 is housed in the housing portion 13.

[0024] Side surface 16 is a surface that extends from the bottom surface 15 in the +Z direction. Multiple side surfaces 16 are formed in the mounting holes 14 so as to surround the bottom surface 15. Of the side surfaces 16, side surfaces 16A, which face each other in the X direction, extend from the bottom surface 15 toward the fixing surface 18. Also, of the side surfaces 16, which face each other in the Y direction are designated as side surface 16B. In this embodiment, side surface 16B has a first projection 16a and a second projection 16b.

[0025] The first protrusion 16a and the second protrusion 16b extend in the Y direction from the side surface 16B toward the interior of the mounting hole 14. The first protrusion 16a and the second protrusion 16b are capable of holding the ends 21a and 21b (described later) of the electrical element body 21. Specifically, the first protrusion 16a and the second protrusion 16b are each formed in pairs. The first protrusion 16a and the second protrusion 16b are formed spaced apart from each other in the X direction. With respect to the center of the mounting hole 14 in the X direction, the first protrusion 16a is formed in the +X direction and the second protrusion 16b is formed in the -X direction. The pair of first protrusions 16a have a protruding surface 161. The protruding surface 161 extends in the X and Z directions. The end 21a of the electrical element body 21 is held by contact and clamping from the Y direction by the protruding surfaces 161 of the pair of first protrusions 16a.

[0026] Similarly, the pair of second protrusions 16b have a protruding surface 163. The protruding surface 163 extends in the X and Z directions. The protruding surfaces 163 of the pair of second protrusions 16b hold the end 21b of the electrical element body 21 by contacting and clamping it from the Y direction.

[0027] (Electrical elements) The electrical element 20 is held on the base plate 10. The electrical element 20 is also positioned on the first surface 11 side. The electrical element 20 according to this embodiment is, for example, a fuse. The electrical element 20 has an electrical element body 21 and a connection part 22.

[0028] The electrical element body 21 is formed in a columnar shape with an axis as its center. The electrical element body 21 extends in the axial direction of the axis. In this embodiment, the axis extends parallel to the X direction. That is, the axial direction is the X direction. The entire electrical element body 21 can be housed inside the mounting hole 14. The electrical element body 21 has a first end 21a and a second end 21b.

[0029] The first end 21a and the second end 21b are electrical terminal portions of the electrical element body 21. The first end 21a and the second end 21b include the end faces of the electrical element body 21 in the X direction. The end faces are surfaces that face outward in the X direction of the electrical element body 21. The first end 21a and the second end 21b are formed spaced apart in the +X direction and the -X direction, respectively. With respect to the center of the electrical element body 21 in the X direction, the first end 21a is formed in the +X direction and the second end 21b is formed in the -X direction. Therefore, the first end 21a and the second end 21b each include end faces that face in various directions in the X direction. The electrical element body 21 is connected to the connection portion 22 at the first end 21a and the second end 21b.

[0030] The connection portion 22 is connected to the electrical element body 21. The connection portion 22 can be connected to the base plate 10 by a fixing device 40. A pair of connection portions 22 are arranged spaced apart in the +X direction and the -X direction. For convenience, the connection portion 22 located on the +X direction side is referred to as the first connection portion 22a, and the connection portion 22 located spaced apart from the first connection portion 22a on the -X direction side is referred to as the second connection portion 22b. The connection portion 22 according to this embodiment has a first member 23 and a second member 24.

[0031] The first member 23 is connected to the electrical element body 21 (first end 21a and second end 21b). When viewed from the axial direction, the first member 23 is positioned away from the electrical element body 21. The first member 23 extends from the first end 21a and the second end 21b in a direction intersecting the axial direction (+Z direction). The first member 23 is connected to the second member 24 at the end on the +Z direction side. For convenience, the first connection part 22a is assumed to have a first member 23a on one side, and the second connection part 22b has a first member 23b on the other side. The first member 23a on one side is connected to the first end 21a. The first member 23b on the other side is connected to the second end 21b.

[0032] The second member 24 extends axially (in the X direction) from the first member 23. The second member 24 extends away from the electrical element body 21. For convenience, the second member 24 connected to one side of the first member 23a is referred to as the one-side second member 24a, and the second member 24 connected to the other side of the first member 23b is referred to as the other-side second member 24b. Specifically, the one-side second member 24a extends in the +X direction from the one-side first member 23a. The other-side second member 24b extends in the -X direction from the other-side first member 23b. The one-side second member 24a and the other-side second member 24b extend in opposite directions in the X direction. The second member 24 has a through hole formed in the Z direction such that, when viewed from the Z direction with the electrical element body 21 housed in the mounting hole 14, it overlaps with the hole (nut hole) of the fixing part 17. The second member 24 is connected to the fixing surface 18 by a fixing device 40. Furthermore, the second member 24 is positioned above the mounting hole 14 when the electrical element body 21 is housed in the mounting hole 14. In this embodiment, one second member 24a and the other second member 24b are located on the same plane, but this is not limited to this configuration.

[0033] (Bus bar) The busbar 30 is a wiring member (electrical connection member) provided on the base plate 10. The busbar 30 is, for example, a wiring member for electrically connecting multiple electronic components. The busbar 30 is physically and electrically connected to the electrical element 20. The busbar 30 is made of metal (e.g., copper or copper alloy) and is conductive. The busbar 30 is held in place by the base plate 10. The busbar 30 is integrated with the base plate 10 without the use of fastening members such as screws or bolts. The busbar 30 may be integrated with the base plate 10 by, for example, insert molding. The busbar 30 has a first busbar 31 and a second busbar 32.

[0034] The first busbar 31 and the second busbar 32 are spaced apart from each other. Furthermore, the first busbar 31 and the second busbar 32 are electrically connected via an electrical element 20. The first busbar 31 has a through-hole formed in the Z direction such that, when viewed from the Z direction, it overlaps with the hole in the first fixing part 17a while fixed to the base plate 10. The second busbar 32 has a through-hole formed in the Z direction such that, when viewed from the Z direction, it overlaps with the hole in the second fixing part 17b while fixed to the base plate 10.

[0035] (Fixing fixture) The fastener 40 is a component that can connect the base plate 10 and the electrical element 20. The fastener 40 according to this embodiment is, for example, a bolt having a shaft portion 41 and a head portion 42. The shaft portion 41 is formed so that it can be inserted through the through hole of the second member 24 and the through hole of the bus bar 30. The shaft portion 41 has screw grooves on its outer circumferential surface. The shaft portion 41 can be screwed into the fixing portion 17. The head portion 42 has a larger diameter than the shaft portion 41. Furthermore, the head portion 42 is formed so that it cannot be inserted through the through hole of the second member 24 and the through hole of the bus bar 30. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the fixing device 40 is fixed to the base plate 10 such that the fixing part 17, bus bar 30, electrical element 20 (second member 24), and head 42 are arranged in the order from the -Z direction to the +Z direction.

[0036] (Cover section) The cover portion 50 is positioned to cover the first surface 11. Specifically, the cover portion 50 covers the electrical element 20 in the Z direction, sandwiching it with the base plate 10. The cover portion 50 is made of, for example, synthetic resin and has insulating properties. The cover portion 50 is positioned, for example, as a member for preventing fingers from touching the current-carrying path in an electrical connection unit in which a wiring substrate 1 is used. The cover portion 50 according to this embodiment has an intermediate plate 51 and a main cover 52.

[0037] The intermediate plate 51 is provided so as to be sandwiched between the main cover 52 and the base plate 10. The intermediate plate 51 can electrically connect the wiring substrate 1 to its exterior. The intermediate plate 51 has grooves formed therein for routing wires extending from the outside. In this embodiment, the intermediate plate 51 does not cover the electrical element 20 when viewed from the +Z direction.

[0038] The main cover 52 covers the base plate 10 and the intermediate plate 51 from the +Z direction. That is, the main cover 52 covers the intermediate plate 51 by sandwiching it with the base plate 10 in the Z direction. The main cover 52 can also cover the wires routed to the intermediate plate 51. The main cover 52 has an opposing surface 53 facing the electrical element body 21 in the Z direction. The opposing surface 53 extends horizontally. The opposing surface 53 is provided so as not to come into contact with the fixing device 40. Furthermore, the distance L between the opposing surface 53 and the second member 24 is shorter than the length in the Z direction of the portion of the electrical element 20 excluding the second member 24. That is, the distance L between the opposing surface 53 and the second member 24 is shorter than the length in the Z direction of the electrical element body 21 and the first member 23.

[0039] <2. Advantages> In this embodiment, the wiring substrate 1 comprises a base plate 10, an electrical element 20, and a fixing device 40. The base plate 10 has a first surface 11, a second surface 12, and a housing portion 13. The electrical element 20 has an electrical element body 21 and a connection portion 22. The housing portion 13 has a mounting hole 14 that is recessed in the Z direction from the first surface 11 toward the second surface 12, and a fixing portion 17 to which the fixing device 40 is fixed. The electrical element body 21 is housed in the mounting hole 14. The fixing portion 17 has fixing surfaces 18 (18a, 18b) parallel to the first surface 11. The fixing surfaces 18 (18a, 18b) are positioned in the Z direction, farther from the second surface 12 than the electrical element body 21. With this configuration, the electrical element 20 is configured such that the electrical element body 21 is not positioned above the mounting hole 14. This arrangement allows for a lower profile of the wiring substrate 1 compared to the case where the electrical element 20 is positioned upside down (with the electrical element body 21 positioned above the mounting hole 14).

[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 14 is parallel to the fixing surface 18 (18a, 18b) and has a bottom surface 15 facing the electrical element body 21. In the Z direction, the bottom surface 15 is positioned close to the second surface 12 relative to the fixing surface 18 (18a, 18b). Furthermore, the fixing surface 18 (18a, 18b) is positioned so as not to come into contact with the electrical element body 21. With this configuration, the electrical element 20 can be positioned without any stress being applied to it.

[0041] In this embodiment, the connection portion 22 (22a, 22b) has a first member 23 (23a, 23b) and a second member 24 (24a, 24b). The first member 23 (23a, 23b) extends from the electrical element body 21 in the +Z direction. The second member 24 (24a, 24b) extends horizontally from the first member 23 (23a, 23b). The second member 24 (24a, 24b) is connected to the base plate 10. With this structure, the extension of the first member 23 (23a, 23b) in the Z direction increases the distance of the electrical element 20 in the Z direction. Therefore, it is easier to distinguish when the electrical element 20 is placed upside down.

[0042] In this embodiment, the wiring substrate 1 further includes a cover portion 50 that sandwiches and covers the electrical element 20 in the Z direction with the base plate 10. The cover portion 50 (main cover 52) has an opposing surface 53 facing the electrical element body 21. The distance between the opposing surface 53 and the second member 24 in the Z direction is shorter than the length in the Z direction of the portion of the electrical element 20 excluding the second portion. With this structure, if the main cover 52 is attached with the electrical element 20 positioned upside down, the electrical element body 21 and the main cover 52 will interfere with each other. This mechanism allows the presence of the electrical element 20 in an upside-down position to be noticed at the stage of attaching the main cover 52.

[0043] In this embodiment, the cable routing board 1 further comprises a first busbar 31 and a second busbar 32. The first busbar 31 and the second busbar 32 are electrically connected via an electrical element 20. The electrical element 20 is a fuse. With this structure, the height of the cable routing board 1 can be reduced without making it difficult to replace the fuse.

[0044] In this embodiment, the ends 21a and 21b of the electrical element body 21 are held by the protrusions 16a and 16b. With this structure, the position of the electrical element 20 can be uniquely determined when it is installed. Therefore, it is easy to fix it with the fixing device 40.

[0045] <3. Variant> Next, we will describe some variations. Note that, apart from the configurations described below, the configurations in each variation are the same as those in the embodiment.

[0046] (First torture) The connection portion 22 (22a, 22b) is not limited to a configuration having a first member 23 (23a, 23b) and a second member 24 (24a, 24b). For example, in the connection portion 22 (22a, 22b), the second member 24 (24a, 24b) may be directly connected to the electrical element body 21. In this case, the first member 23 (23a, 23b) according to this embodiment is not provided. Furthermore, in the first modified example, the distance in the Z direction between the opposing surface 53 and the connecting portion 22 (second member 24 (24a, 24b)) is shorter than the length of the electrical element body 21 in the Z direction.

[0047] This configuration allows for a reduction in the size of the electrical element 20 in the Z-direction. This shape also increases the design flexibility of the wiring substrate 1 (especially the base plate 10). Furthermore, by setting the distance in the Z direction between the opposing surface 53 and the second member 24 (24a, 24b) as described above, the same effects as in this embodiment can be achieved. That is, when the main cover 52 is attached with the electrical element 20 positioned upside down, the electrical element body 21 and the main cover 52 interfere with each other. This mechanism allows the presence of the electrical element 20 in an upside-down position to be noticed when attaching the main cover 52.

[0048] (Second variation) The wiring substrate 1 may be configured without a cover portion 50. Alternatively, it may be configured without either the main cover 52 or the intermediate plate 51.

[0049] With this structure, the height of the cable routing substrate 1 can be reduced even when the cover portion 50 is not present.

[0050] (Third variation) The bottom surface 15 may be formed to be in contact with the electrical element 20 when the electrical element 20 is housed in the housing section 13.

[0051] With this structure, the housing portion 13 can be made shorter in the Z direction. Therefore, the base plate 10 can be made thinner. It is desirable that the bottom surface 15 and the electrical element 20 are in contact when the stress applied to the electrical element 20 is small.

[0052] (Fourth variation) The protruding surfaces 161 and 163 may be formed so as not to come into contact with the electrical element 20 when the electrical element 20 is housed in the housing portion 13.

[0053] With this structure, the protruding surfaces 161 and 163 function as guides when mounting the electrical element 20. When the electrical element 20 is attached to the base plate 10 by the fixing device 40, the protruding surfaces 161 and 163 do not come into contact with the electrical element 20.
