Description
本発明は、プラス端子とマイナス端子とが互いに異種金属で形成されたバッテリに対し、好適に使用することのできるバスバー及びその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a bus bar that can be suitably used for a battery in which a positive terminal and a negative terminal are formed of different metals, and a method for manufacturing the same.
電気自動車やハイブリッドカーなどに搭載するバッテリとして、複数のバッテリセルを、互いの正・負極間が直列接続となるようにバスバーで繋いで組電池に構成したものが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。このような組電池は高出力、高エネルギー密度であることが特徴とされ、バッテリセルには殆どの場合、リチウムイオン電池が用いられている。リチウムイオン電池は、プラス端子がアルミニウム（Ａｌ）を素材として形成されており、マイナス端子が銅（Ｃｕ）を素材として形成されている。 As a battery to be mounted on an electric vehicle, a hybrid car, or the like, a battery is known in which a plurality of battery cells are connected to each other with a bus bar so that the positive and negative electrodes are connected in series (for example, a patent) Reference 1). Such an assembled battery is characterized by high output and high energy density, and in most cases, a lithium ion battery is used for the battery cell. In the lithium ion battery, a plus terminal is formed using aluminum (Al) as a material, and a minus terminal is formed using copper (Cu) as a material.
このようなバッテリセルの端子同士を繋ぐための部品として、バスバー(busbar、電気エネルギーの分配に使用される部品であり、ブスバーとも呼ぶ)がある。係るバスバーの製造方法としては、例えば、特許文献２の「発明が解決しようとする課題」に開示されているように、バスバーを構成する部材同士をレーザー溶接するものがある。 As a part for connecting the terminals of such battery cells, there is a bus bar (busbar, a part used for distribution of electric energy, also called a bus bar). As a method for manufacturing such a bus bar, for example, as disclosed in “Problem to be Solved by the Invention” of Patent Document 2, there is a method of laser welding members constituting the bus bar.
前述の如く、バッテリセル同士を直列で接続する場合、プラス端子であるアルミニウム製端子と、マイナス端子である銅製端子とをバスバーで繋ぐことになる。そのため、バスバーをアルミニウムによって形成することにしても、又は銅によって形成することにしても、必ず、バスバーと一方の端子との間は異種金属による接続をすることになる。
一般に、異種の金属同士を接続したときに空気中の水分を介した電気腐食（電気化学的腐食）が起こることは周知である。従って、この電気腐食の進行に伴い、バスバーと端子との間が通電しなくなったりバスバー自体又は端子自体が損壊したりすることが起こり、最終的には、電気自動車を始動できないといった重大問題に至る。
As described above, when battery cells are connected in series, an aluminum terminal that is a plus terminal and a copper terminal that is a minus terminal are connected by a bus bar. Therefore, even if the bus bar is made of aluminum or copper, the bus bar and one terminal are always connected with different metals.
In general, it is well known that when different kinds of metals are connected to each other, electrochemical corrosion (electrochemical corrosion) occurs through moisture in the air. Therefore, along with the progress of the electric corrosion, there is a case where the current between the bus bar and the terminal is not energized, or the bus bar itself or the terminal itself is damaged, which eventually leads to a serious problem that the electric vehicle cannot be started. .
なお、この問題の対策として、特許文献２のように、アルミニウム片と銅片とを前記レーザー溶接などにより接合してバスバーを製作することが提案されているものの、この方法で試作されたバスバーでは、レーザー溶接部分で二種の金属による共晶が発生し、これが原因で電気抵抗が過大となったり機械的強度（殊に脆性や引張強度）が著しく低下したりする欠点があって、とても実用に耐えるものとはならなかった。 As a countermeasure against this problem, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, it is proposed to manufacture a bus bar by joining an aluminum piece and a copper piece by the laser welding or the like. However, in a bus bar prototyped by this method, The eutectic due to two kinds of metals is generated in the laser welding part, which causes the disadvantage that the electrical resistance becomes excessive and the mechanical strength (especially brittleness and tensile strength) is remarkably lowered. It did not endure.
本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、プラス端子とマイナス端子とが互いに異種金属で形成されたバッテリに対して用いるバスバーであって、電気腐食を防止しつつ電気抵抗を抑えることができ且つ機械的強度にも優れた高性能・高信頼性を有するバスバーと、このバスバーの製造方法とを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a bus bar used for a battery in which a plus terminal and a minus terminal are formed of different metals, and suppresses electrical resistance while preventing electrical corrosion. An object of the present invention is to provide a bus bar having high performance and high reliability that is capable of being used and having excellent mechanical strength, and a method for manufacturing the bus bar.
前記目的を達成するために、本発明は次の手段を講じた。
即ち、本発明に係るバスバーは、プラス端子とマイナス端子とが互いに異種金属で形成されたバッテリに対して用いる端子接続用のバスバーであって、前記バッテリのプラス端子と同一金属で形成され且つプラス端子と接続可能とされた正極接続部と、前記バッテリのマイナス端子と同一金属で形成され且つマイナス端子と接続可能とされた負極接続部とを有し、平面視において、前記正極接続部の周りを負極接続部が取り囲む、又は負極接続部の周りを正極接続部が取り囲むように配備されていると共に、前記正極接続部と負極接続部とが金属的結合により一体的に結合されていることを特徴とする。
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures.
In other words, the bus bar according to the present invention is a bus bar for terminal connection used for a battery in which a plus terminal and a minus terminal are made of different metals, and is made of the same metal as the plus terminal of the battery and is a plus. A positive electrode connecting portion that can be connected to the terminal, and a negative electrode connecting portion that is formed of the same metal as the negative terminal of the battery and that can be connected to the negative terminal. The negative electrode connection portion surrounds the negative electrode connection portion, or the positive electrode connection portion surrounds the negative electrode connection portion, and the positive electrode connection portion and the negative electrode connection portion are integrally coupled by metal bonding. Features.
このバスバーであれば、バッテリのプラス端子に当該端子と同金属で形成された正極接続部を接続し、バッテリのマイナス端子に当該端子と同金属で形成された負極接続部を接続することで、端子接合部での電気腐食、それに伴う電気抵抗の増加が抑えられ、バッテリ接続用のバスバーとしての信頼性の向上を図れる。加えて、バスバーの正極接続部と負極接続部とは金属的結合により一体化されているため、この結合部分においても電気腐食、それに伴う電気抵抗の増加が発生することは無い。 If it is this bus bar, by connecting a positive electrode connection part formed of the same metal as the terminal to the positive terminal of the battery, and connecting a negative electrode connection part formed of the same metal as the terminal to the negative terminal of the battery, Electrical corrosion at the terminal joint and an accompanying increase in electrical resistance can be suppressed, and the reliability as a bus bar for battery connection can be improved. In addition, since the positive electrode connecting portion and the negative electrode connecting portion of the bus bar are integrated by metal bonding, electric corrosion and an accompanying increase in electric resistance do not occur at this bonding portion.
なお、「金属的結合」は、結合しようとする異種金属間が金属組織レベルで密着した結合界面を形成させ、その結果として導電性及び機械的結合強度を「バスバーとして実用に適する値」にまで高めた状態を言うものとする。
好ましくは、前記正極接続部は、アルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金で形成され、前記負極接続部は、銅又は銅合金で形成されているとよい。
In addition, “metallic bond” forms a bonding interface in which different kinds of metals to be bonded are in close contact with each other at the metal structure level, and as a result, the electrical conductivity and mechanical bond strength reach “values suitable for practical use as a bus bar”. An elevated state shall be said.
Preferably, the positive electrode connection portion is formed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and the negative electrode connection portion is formed of copper or a copper alloy.
一方、上述したバスバーを製造する際には、前記正極接続部を形成する金属元材の周りを負極接続部を形成する金属元材で取り囲んだ対面元材、又は負極接続部を形成する金属元材の周りを正極接続部を形成する金属元材で取り囲んだ対面元材を用意し、高圧の静水圧環境下にて、前記対面元材をダイにより押出加工又は引抜加工する製造方法を採用することが不可欠である。 On the other hand, when manufacturing the bus bar described above, the metal base material forming the negative electrode connection portion, or the facing base material surrounding the metal base material forming the positive electrode connection portion with the metal base material forming the negative electrode connection portion. A facing base material is prepared by surrounding the material with a metal base material that forms a positive electrode connection, and a manufacturing method is adopted in which the facing base material is extruded or drawn with a die in a high-pressure hydrostatic environment. It is essential.
この製造方法を採用することで、正極接続部を形成する金属材と負極接続部を形成する金属材とが金属的結合して一体化し、バッテリのプラス端子とマイナス端子との間を好適に連結できるバスバーを製造することができる。 By adopting this manufacturing method, the metal material that forms the positive electrode connection portion and the metal material that forms the negative electrode connection portion are combined and integrated, and the battery positive terminal and negative terminal are suitably connected. A possible bus bar can be manufactured.
本発明によれば、プラス端子とマイナス端子とが互いに異種金属で形成されたバッテリに対して用いることができて、電気腐食を防止しつつ電気抵抗を抑えることができ且つ機械的強度にも優れた高性能・高信頼性を有するバスバーを実現することができる。 According to the present invention, the positive terminal and the negative terminal can be used for a battery formed of different metals, and can suppress electric resistance while preventing electric corrosion and is excellent in mechanical strength. A bus bar having high performance and high reliability can be realized.
以下、本発明の実施の形態を、図面に基づき説明する。
［第１実施形態］
図１〜図３は、本発明に係るバスバー１の第１実施形態を示している。
図１に示す使用例から分かるように、このバスバー１は、複数のバッテリセル２を直列接続することで構成される組電池３において、バッテリセル２相互間でプラス端子５とマイナス端子６とを接続するために用いる。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a bus bar 1 according to the present invention.
As can be seen from the example of use shown in FIG. 1, the bus bar 1 includes a plus terminal 5 and a minus terminal 6 between the battery cells 2 in the assembled battery 3 configured by connecting a plurality of battery cells 2 in series. Used to connect.
なお、各バッテリセル２はリチウムイオン電池であって、プラス端子５はアルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金により形成されており、外周面には雄ねじが形成されている。マイナス端子６は銅又は銅合金により形成されており、外周面には雄ねじが形成されている。
図２に示すように、バスバー１は、長方形の板状に形成されており、長辺側をほぼ二等分する中間位置を境として、その一方側に正極接続部１０が設けられ、他方側に負極接続部１１が設けられたものとなっている。本実施形態の場合、正極接続部１０は、負極接続部１１側へ張り出すようにして枠部１４が設けられており、この枠部１４の枠内方に負極接続部１１が嵌め込まれるようになっている。すなわち、正極接続部１０により、負極接続部１１の外周部全周が取り囲まれるようになっている。
Each battery cell 2 is a lithium ion battery, the positive terminal 5 is formed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface. The negative terminal 6 is formed of copper or a copper alloy, and a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface.
As shown in FIG. 2, the bus bar 1 is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and a positive electrode connection portion 10 is provided on one side of an intermediate position that bisects the long side, and the other side Is provided with a negative electrode connecting portion 11. In the case of the present embodiment, the positive electrode connection portion 10 is provided with a frame portion 14 so as to protrude toward the negative electrode connection portion 11, and the negative electrode connection portion 11 is fitted inside the frame portion 14. It has become. That is, the entire circumference of the outer periphery of the negative electrode connection portion 11 is surrounded by the positive electrode connection portion 10.
バスバー１の寸法は、バッテリセル２相互の位置や流れる電流量などにより適宜変更可能であるが、例えば、長辺３０〜７０ｍｍ、短辺２０〜６０ｍｍ、厚さ１〜２ｍｍである。
バスバー１の正極接続部１０と負極接続部１１とは、互いに異なる金属により形成されている。正極接続部１０は、バッテリセル２のプラス端子５と同一金属、すなわちアルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金を素材として形成されている。また、負極接続部１１は、マイナス端子６と同一金属、すなわち銅又は銅合金を素材として形成されている。
The dimensions of the bus bar 1 can be appropriately changed depending on the positions of the battery cells 2 and the amount of flowing current, and are, for example, a long side of 30 to 70 mm, a short side of 20 to 60 mm, and a thickness of 1 to 2 mm.
The positive electrode connection portion 10 and the negative electrode connection portion 11 of the bus bar 1 are formed of different metals. The positive electrode connection part 10 is formed using the same metal as the plus terminal 5 of the battery cell 2, that is, aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The negative electrode connection portion 11 is formed using the same metal as the negative terminal 6, that is, copper or a copper alloy.
これら正極接続部１０と負極接続部１１とは、枠部１４の枠内周に沿った接合面間で金属的結合によって一体に結合されている。この接合面（境界面）は、正極接続部１０の金属（Ａｌ）と負極接続部１１の金属（Ｃｕ）とを超高圧下（例えば１０００ＭＰａ程度）で且つ変形を付与するようにして、互いが金属組織レベルで密着した結合界面を形成させ、その結果として導電性及び機械的結合強度を「バスバーとして実用に適する値」にまで高めた状態とされている。 The positive electrode connecting portion 10 and the negative electrode connecting portion 11 are integrally coupled by a metallic bond between the joint surfaces along the inner periphery of the frame portion 14. This joining surface (boundary surface) is formed by applying deformation to the metal (Al) of the positive electrode connection portion 10 and the metal (Cu) of the negative electrode connection portion 11 under ultrahigh pressure (for example, about 1000 MPa). A tightly bonded interface at the metal structure level is formed, and as a result, the electrical conductivity and mechanical bond strength are increased to “values suitable for practical use as a bus bar”.
なお、図２に示す如く、正極接続部１０を形成しているアルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金の方が、負極接続部１１を形成している銅又は銅合金よりも柔らかいため、両者の超高圧静水圧下における押出加工時により、正極接続部１０が負極接続部１１へ向けて膨らむような湾曲を生じる。そのため、本実施形態の平面視で、負極接続部１１がその内部側に凹むような形状となっている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the aluminum or aluminum alloy forming the positive electrode connecting portion 10 is softer than the copper or copper alloy forming the negative electrode connecting portion 11, so that both of them are subjected to ultrahigh pressure hydrostatic pressure. During the extrusion process, the positive electrode connection portion 10 is curved so as to swell toward the negative electrode connection portion 11. Therefore, in the plan view of the present embodiment, the negative electrode connection portion 11 has a shape that is recessed toward the inside thereof.
さらに、図２に示すように、正極接続部１０にはバッテリセル２のプラス端子５を差し込む接続孔１２が短辺方向略中央部に設けられ、負極接続部１１にはバッテリセル２のマイナス端子６を差し込む接続孔１３が短辺方向略中央部に設けられている。
図１に示したように、これら各接続孔１２にプラス端子５を差し込んだ状態で、突き抜けたプラス端子５に対しナット１５を螺合させることで、プラス端子５と正極接続部１０とが連結される。同様に、接続孔１３にマイナス端子６を差し込んだ上で、マイナス端子６に対しナット１５を螺合させ、マイナス端子６と負極接続部１１とを連結する。
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the positive electrode connection portion 10 is provided with a connection hole 12 into which the positive terminal 5 of the battery cell 2 is inserted at the substantially central portion in the short side direction, and the negative electrode connection portion 11 has a negative terminal of the battery cell 2. The connection hole 13 for inserting 6 is provided at the substantially central portion in the short side direction.
As shown in FIG. 1, with the plus terminal 5 inserted into each of the connection holes 12, the plus terminal 5 and the positive electrode connection portion 10 are connected by screwing a nut 15 into the penetrated plus terminal 5. Is done. Similarly, after the minus terminal 6 is inserted into the connection hole 13, a nut 15 is screwed into the minus terminal 6 to connect the minus terminal 6 and the negative electrode connection portion 11.
なお、ナット１５を螺合させた結合ではなく、プラス端子５と正極接続部１０とを溶接すると共にマイナス端子６と負極接続部１１とを溶接してもよい。つまり、バスバーの異種金属部をそれぞれの同種端子に直接溶接してもよい。
図３に示す如く、このような構成のバスバー１を製造するには、超高圧静水圧下における押出加工を行う。この加工に用いる押出装置２０は、得ようとするバスバー１の長辺側断面形状（平面形状）に対応した単一開口のダイ２１（ダイス）を具備したもので、超高圧（〜１０００ＭＰａ程度）の等方圧環境下での押出成形が可能となっている。
In addition, the positive terminal 5 and the positive electrode connection portion 10 may be welded and the negative terminal 6 and the negative electrode connection portion 11 may be welded, instead of the coupling in which the nut 15 is screwed. That is, you may weld the dissimilar metal part of a bus bar directly to each same kind terminal.
As shown in FIG. 3, in order to manufacture the bus bar 1 having such a configuration, extrusion processing is performed under an ultrahigh hydrostatic pressure. The extrusion device 20 used for this processing includes a single-opening die 21 (die) corresponding to the long-side cross-sectional shape (planar shape) of the bus bar 1 to be obtained, and is ultra-high pressure (about 1000 MPa). It is possible to perform extrusion molding under an isotropic pressure environment.
バスバー１の製造手順としては、まずバッテリセル２のプラス端子５と同一金属（アルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金）からなる正極用元材１０Ａ（金属元材）と、バッテリセル２のマイナス端子６と同一金属（銅又は銅合金）からなる負極用元材１１Ａ（金属元材）とを条材状で準備する。次に、条材状の正極用元材１０Ａ及び負極用元材１１Ａを、長手方向に沿って張り合わせ、更にそれら張り合わせ後の部材の外側を板状の正極用元材１０Ａで巻くようにして、全体が丸棒状となるビレット（対面元材）を用意すればよい。なお、正極用元材１０Ａ及び負極用元材１１Ａを張り合わせた後の部材を、中空パイプ状の正極用元材１０Ａに嵌入することで、ビレットとしてもよい。 As a manufacturing procedure of the bus bar 1, first, a positive electrode base material 10 </ b> A (metal base material) made of the same metal (aluminum or aluminum alloy) as the positive terminal 5 of the battery cell 2 and the same metal ( A negative electrode base material 11A (metal base material) made of copper or a copper alloy is prepared in a strip shape. Next, the strip-like positive electrode base material 10A and the negative electrode base material 11A are bonded together in the longitudinal direction, and the outside of the bonded members is wound around the plate-shaped positive electrode original material 10A, What is necessary is just to prepare the billet (facing material) which becomes a round bar shape as a whole. In addition, it is good also as a billet by inserting the member after bonding the base material 10A for positive electrodes, and the base material 11A for negative electrodes in the base material 10A for positive electrodes of a hollow pipe shape.
次に、このビレットを、正極用元材１０Ａと負極用元材１１Ａとが互いに並行して押し出されるように、押出装置２０へ装填する。
この状態で、押出装置２０を超高圧の等方圧環境下にて作動させ、押出加工又は引抜作業を行い、正極用元材１０Ａと負極用元材１１Ａとが金属的結合して一体となった成形体１Ａを成形する。
Next, this billet is loaded into the extrusion device 20 so that the positive electrode base material 10A and the negative electrode base material 11A are extruded in parallel with each other.
In this state, the extrusion device 20 is operated in an ultrahigh-pressure isotropic pressure environment to perform an extrusion process or a drawing operation, and the positive electrode base material 10A and the negative electrode base material 11A are metal-bonded and integrated. The formed body 1A is formed.
図３（ａ）に示す如く、押出装置２０のダイ２１の開口面積はビレットの断面積より小さいため、ダイ２１を通すことで、ビレットが全周的な圧縮を受けて塑性変形する。両素材１０Ａ，１１Ａの合わせ面は、ダイ２１を出た後に正極接続部１０と負極接続部１１との結合界面（金属的結合部）を形成することになる。
このようにして得られた成形体１Ａを、押出方向で所定間隔をおいて切り出す。切り出し後において、正極接続部１０に接続孔１２を設け、負極接続部１１に接続孔１３を設けてバスバー１を完成させる。必要に応じて表面研磨や表面処理などを行ってもよい。
As shown in FIG. 3A, since the opening area of the die 21 of the extrusion device 20 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the billet, when the die 21 is passed, the billet is subjected to overall compression and plastically deformed. The mating surfaces of the two materials 10A and 11A form a bonding interface (metallic bonding portion) between the positive electrode connecting portion 10 and the negative electrode connecting portion 11 after exiting the die 21.
The molded body 1A thus obtained is cut out at a predetermined interval in the extrusion direction. After cutting out, the connection hole 12 is provided in the positive electrode connection portion 10 and the connection hole 13 is provided in the negative electrode connection portion 11 to complete the bus bar 1. Surface polishing or surface treatment may be performed as necessary.
このようにして製造したバスバー１は、バッテリセル２のプラス端子５と同一金属の正極接続部１０と、バッテリセル２のマイナス端子６と同一金属の負極接続部１１とが金属的結合により一体形成された構成であるため、このバスバー１のいずれの部分（バッテリ端子との連結部分、及び正極接続部１０と負極接続部１１との結合面）であっても電気腐食が起こらず電気抵抗を抑えることができ、しかも機械的強度にも優れたものとなっている。
［第２実施形態］
図４は、本発明に係るバスバー１の第２実施形態を示している。
In the bus bar 1 manufactured in this way, the positive electrode connection portion 10 made of the same metal as the positive terminal 5 of the battery cell 2 and the negative electrode connection portion 11 made of the same metal as the negative terminal 6 of the battery cell 2 are integrally formed by metal connection. Because of this configuration, any portion of the bus bar 1 (the connecting portion with the battery terminal and the coupling surface between the positive electrode connecting portion 10 and the negative electrode connecting portion 11) does not cause electrical corrosion and suppresses the electric resistance. In addition, it has excellent mechanical strength.
[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the bus bar 1 according to the present invention.
第２実施形態のバスバー１も、長方形の板状に形成されており、長辺側をほぼ二等分する中間位置を境として、その一方側に正極接続部１０（Ａｌ）が設けられ、他方側に負極接続部１１（Ｃｕ）が設けられたものとなっている。
ところが、本実施形態の場合、負極接続部１１に、正極接続部１０側へ張り出すようにして枠部１４が設けられており、この枠部１４の枠内方に正極接続部１０が嵌め込まれるようになっている。すなわち、負極接続部１１により、正極接続部１０の外周部全周が取り囲まれるようになっている。
The bus bar 1 of the second embodiment is also formed in a rectangular plate shape, and is provided with a positive electrode connection portion 10 (Al) on one side thereof with a middle position that bisects the long side as a boundary. The negative electrode connection part 11 (Cu) is provided on the side.
However, in the case of this embodiment, the negative electrode connection portion 11 is provided with a frame portion 14 so as to protrude toward the positive electrode connection portion 10, and the positive electrode connection portion 10 is fitted inside the frame portion 14. It is like that. That is, the entire circumference of the outer periphery of the positive electrode connection portion 10 is surrounded by the negative electrode connection portion 11.
さらに、図４に示す如く、正極接続部１０を形成しているアルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金の方が、負極接続部１１を形成している銅又は銅合金よりも柔らかいため、両者の超高圧静水圧下における押出加工時により、正極接続部１０が負極接続部１１へ向けて膨らむような湾曲を生じる。そのため、本実施形態の平面視で、正極接続部１０がその外側に膨らむような形状となっている。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, since the aluminum or aluminum alloy forming the positive electrode connecting portion 10 is softer than the copper or copper alloy forming the negative electrode connecting portion 11, both of them are subjected to ultrahigh pressure hydrostatic pressure. During the extrusion process, the positive electrode connection portion 10 is curved so as to swell toward the negative electrode connection portion 11. Therefore, in the plan view of the present embodiment, the positive electrode connection portion 10 has a shape that swells outward.
その他の構成及び作用効果、製造方法は第１実施形態とほぼ同じであり、ここでの詳説は省略する。
ところで、今回開示された実施形態はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
Other configurations, functions, effects, and manufacturing methods are almost the same as those in the first embodiment, and a detailed description thereof is omitted here.
By the way, it should be thought that embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
例えば、枠部１４の長さや幅は限定されるものではない。平面視における正極接続部１０と負極接続部１１との面積比も適宜変更可能である。
また、本発明に係るバスバー１は、自動車搭載用のリチウムイオン電池を接続するに際し非常に好適であるが、他用途におけるリチウムイオン電池（バッテリ）の接続に用いても何ら問題はない。
For example, the length and width of the frame portion 14 are not limited. The area ratio between the positive electrode connecting portion 10 and the negative electrode connecting portion 11 in a plan view can be changed as appropriate.
The bus bar 1 according to the present invention is very suitable for connecting a lithium ion battery mounted on an automobile, but there is no problem even if it is used for connecting a lithium ion battery (battery) in other applications.
