図６および図７から明らかなように、各蓄電モジュールＭのエンドプレート１４の主プレート２２には１本の位置決めピン２５が積層方向に突設される。位置決めピン２５は主プレート２２に固定された円柱状の軸部２５ａと、軸部２５ａの先端に設けられた頭部２５ｂとからなり、頭部２５ｂの直径は軸部２５ａの直径よりも大きくなっている。   As is apparent from FIGS. 6 and 7, one positioning pin 25 projects from the main plate 22 of the end plate 14 of each power storage module M in the stacking direction. The positioning pin 25 includes a cylindrical shaft portion 25a fixed to the main plate 22 and a head portion 25b provided at the tip of the shaft portion 25a. The diameter of the head portion 25b is larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 25a. ing.

図３、図４および図７から明らかなように、連結プレート２６には各々１２個の円錐台状の隆起部２６ｃが形成されており、それらの中心に締結孔２６ａ…が形成される。また連結プレート２６には、６個の蓄電モジュールＭ…の位置決めピン２５…に対応する６個の位置決め孔２６ｂ…が形成される。位置決め孔２６ｂは本発明の挿入凹部を構成するもので、上側に位置する円形の大径部ａと、下側に位置するＵ字状の小径部ｂとを連通させた形状であり、円形の大径部ａの直径は位置決めピン２５の頭部２５ｂの直径よりも僅かに大きく、かつＵ字状の小径部ｂの幅および底部の直径は位置決めピン２５の軸部２５ａの直径よりも僅かに大きく設定される。   As apparent from FIGS. 3, 4 and 7, the connecting plate 26 is formed with twelve frustoconical raised portions 26c, and fastening holes 26a are formed at the centers thereof. Further, six positioning holes 26b corresponding to the positioning pins 25 of the six power storage modules M are formed in the connection plate 26. The positioning hole 26b constitutes the insertion recess of the present invention, and has a shape in which a circular large-diameter portion a positioned on the upper side and a U-shaped small-diameter portion b positioned on the lower side communicate with each other. The diameter of the large diameter portion a is slightly larger than the diameter of the head portion 25b of the positioning pin 25, and the width and bottom diameter of the U-shaped small diameter portion b are slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 25a of the positioning pin 25.

図４、図６および図８から明らかなように、アッパーダクト２７およびロアダクト２８は、矩形トレー状のダクト本体３０と、その開放部に結合される仕切り板３１とを備えており、仕切り板３１には６個の蓄電モジュールＭ…に対応する６個の冷却孔３１ａ…が形成されるとともに、ダクト本体３０および仕切り板３１が複数の補強リブ３０ａ…で接続される。またロアダクト２８の両端部には冷却空気を導入するための冷却空気導入部２８ａ，２８ａが形成され、アッパーダクト２７には冷却空気を排出するための冷却空気排出部（図示せず）が形成される。   As apparent from FIGS. 4, 6, and 8, the upper duct 27 and the lower duct 28 include a rectangular tray-shaped duct main body 30 and a partition plate 31 coupled to an open portion thereof. Are formed with six cooling holes 31a corresponding to the six power storage modules M, and the duct body 30 and the partition plate 31 are connected by a plurality of reinforcing ribs 30a. Cooling air introduction portions 28a and 28a for introducing cooling air are formed at both ends of the lower duct 28, and a cooling air discharge portion (not shown) for discharging the cooling air is formed in the upper duct 27. The

アッパーダクト２７およびロアダクト２８の仕切り板３１，３１の冷却孔３１ａ…の外周には、蓄電モジュールＭ…の上部拘束バンド１５…あるいは下部拘束バンド１６…と、エンドプレート１４…とに当接して冷却空気の漏れを阻止する弾性体よりなるシール部材３３…が配置される。そしてアッパーダクト２７およびロアダクト２８の外周部は、連結プレート２６，２６の上下のフランジ２６ｄ…にボルト３４…で締結される。   The outer peripheries of the cooling holes 31a of the partition plates 31 and 31 of the upper duct 27 and the lower duct 28 are in contact with the upper restraint band 15 or the lower restraint band 16 of the power storage module M and the end plate 14 for cooling. Seal members 33 made of an elastic body for preventing air leakage are arranged. The outer peripheries of the upper duct 27 and the lower duct 28 are fastened to the upper and lower flanges 26d of the connecting plates 26, 26 with bolts 34.

従って、冷却空気導入部２８ａ，２８ａからロアダクト２８の内部に導入された冷却空気は、ロアダクト２８の仕切り板３１の６個の冷却孔３１ａ…を通過して６個の蓄電モジュールＭ…の中間蓄電セルホルダ１２…および端部蓄電セルホルダ１２Ａ…，１２ｂの内部を流れ、その間に蓄電セル１１…と熱交換して冷却する。蓄電セル１１…を冷却して温度上昇した冷却空気は、アッパーダクト２７の仕切り板３１の６個の冷却孔３１ａ…を通過してアッパーダクト２７の内部で合流し、図示せぬ冷却空気排出部から外部に排出される。   Therefore, the cooling air introduced into the lower duct 28 from the cooling air introduction portions 28a, 28a passes through the six cooling holes 31a ... of the partition plate 31 of the lower duct 28, and is intermediately stored in the six storage modules M ... It flows through the inside of the cell holders 12 ... and the end battery cell holders 12A ..., 12b, and cools them by exchanging heat with the battery cells 11 ... Cooling air whose temperature has risen by cooling the storage cells 11 passes through the six cooling holes 31a of the partition plate 31 of the upper duct 27 and merges inside the upper duct 27, and a cooling air discharge section (not shown) Is discharged to the outside.

次に、蓄電装置Ｐの組み立て時の作用を説明する。   Next, the operation when assembling the power storage device P will be described.

蓄電装置Ｐは一対の連結プレート２６，２６と、アッパーダクト２７と、ロアダクト２８とを備えており、一対の連結プレート２６，２６間に６個の蓄電モジュールＭ…が９０°横倒しにした状態で並置される。各連結プレート２６，２６には１２個の円錐台状の隆起部２６ｃ…が形成されており、それらの中心に形成した締結孔２６ａ…および副プレート２３…の１２個の締結孔２３ｃ…を貫通する１２本のボルト２９…を副プレート２３…の裏面のウエルドナット２４…に螺合することで、一対の連結プレート２６，２６と６個の蓄電モジュールＭ…のエンドプレート１４…とを締結する。そして一対の連結プレート２６，２６のフランジ２６ｄ…にアッパーダクト２７およびロアダクト２８をボルト３４…で締結することで蓄電装置Ｐが組み立てられる。   The power storage device P includes a pair of connection plates 26, 26, an upper duct 27, and a lower duct 28, and six power storage modules M... Are laid down by 90 ° between the pair of connection plates 26, 26. Juxtaposed. Twelve frustoconical ridges 26c ... are formed in each of the connecting plates 26, 26, and penetrate through the 12 fastening holes 23c ... of the fastening holes 26a ... and the sub plates 23 ... formed at the centers thereof. The twelve bolts 29 are screwed into the weld nuts 24 on the back surface of the sub-plate 23 to fasten the pair of connecting plates 26 and 26 and the end plates 14 of the six power storage modules M. . The power storage device P is assembled by fastening the upper duct 27 and the lower duct 28 to the flanges 26d of the pair of connecting plates 26, 26 with bolts 34.

その際に、連結プレート２６，２６および蓄電モジュールＭ…を固定するボルト２９…は蓄電セル１１…の積層方向に締結されるので、連結プレート２６，２６の形状を特に工夫しなくても、ボルト２９…を操作するための工具と連結プレート２６，２６との間の距離を充分に確保することができ、締結作業の作業性向上および連結プレート２６，２６の小型化が可能となる。   At this time, the bolts 29 for fixing the connection plates 26, 26 and the power storage modules M are fastened in the stacking direction of the power storage cells 11, so that the bolts are not required even if the shape of the connection plates 26, 26 is not particularly devised. 29... Can be sufficiently secured between the connection plates 26 and 26, and the workability of the fastening operation can be improved and the connection plates 26 and 26 can be downsized.

ところで、ボルト２９…を締結する作業を行うとき、その締結トルクによって蓄電モジュールＭがボルト２９…の軸線回りに回転してしまい、蓄電モジュールＭの上面および下面がアッパーダクト２７およびロアダクト２８の仕切り板３１，３１に対して非平行になる可能性がある。   By the way, when the operation of fastening the bolts 29 is performed, the power storage module M is rotated around the axis of the bolts 29 by the fastening torque, and the upper and lower surfaces of the power storage modules M are the partition plates for the upper duct 27 and the lower duct 28. 31 and 31 may be non-parallel.

しかしながら、本実施の形態によれば、６個の蓄電モジュールＭ…と連結プレート２６，２６とをボルト２９…で締結するとき、蓄電モジュールＭのエンドプレート１４に突設した位置決めピン２５を連結プレート２６の位置決め孔２６ｂに係合させるので、ボルト２９の締結トルクに引きずられて蓄電モジュールＭがボルト２９の軸線まわりに回転するのを防止することができる。これにより、アッパーダクト２７およびロアダクト２８のシール部材３３…が、蓄電モジュールＭの上部拘束バンド１５，１５、下部拘束バンド１６，１６およびエンドプレート１４，１４に均等に当接することが可能になり（図６参照）、シール部材３３…の隙間から冷却空気が漏れるのを防止して冷却効果を高めることができる。   However, according to the present embodiment, when the six power storage modules M and the connection plates 26 and 26 are fastened by the bolts 29, the positioning pins 25 protruding from the end plate 14 of the power storage module M are connected to the connection plate. 26, the power storage module M can be prevented from rotating around the axis of the bolt 29 by being dragged by the fastening torque of the bolt 29. As a result, the seal members 33 of the upper duct 27 and the lower duct 28 can abut evenly on the upper restraint bands 15 and 15, the lower restraint bands 16 and 16 and the end plates 14 and 14 of the power storage module M ( 6), the cooling effect can be enhanced by preventing the cooling air from leaking through the gaps between the seal members 33.

また位置決めピン２５を位置決め孔２６ｂに嵌合するとき、図７に示すように、先ず位置決めピン２５の大径の頭部２５ｂを位置決め孔２６ｂの大径部ａを通過させた後に、蓄電モジュールＭを下降させると、位置決めピン２５の小径の軸部２５ａが位置決め孔２６ｂの小径部ｂに嵌合するので、連結プレート２６に対して蓄電モジュールＭのエンドプレート１４を精度良く位置決めし、ボルト２９…の締結作業を効率的に行うことができる。しかも蓄電モジュールＭを下降させて位置決めピン２５の軸部２５ａを位置決め孔２６ｂの大径部ａから小径部ｂに移動させるとき、蓄電モジュールＭは下側のロアダクト２８に対して垂直に下降するので、蓄電モジュールＭおよびロアダクト２８間に挟まれるシール部材３３…が横ずれしてシール性が低下するのを防止することができる。   When the positioning pin 25 is fitted into the positioning hole 26b, as shown in FIG. 7, first, the large-diameter head portion 25b of the positioning pin 25 is passed through the large-diameter portion a of the positioning hole 26b, and then the power storage module M Is lowered, the small-diameter shaft portion 25a of the positioning pin 25 is fitted into the small-diameter portion b of the positioning hole 26b. Therefore, the end plate 14 of the power storage module M is accurately positioned with respect to the connecting plate 26, and the bolt 29 ... Can be efficiently performed. Moreover, when the power storage module M is lowered and the shaft portion 25a of the positioning pin 25 is moved from the large diameter portion a to the small diameter portion b of the positioning hole 26b, the power storage module M is lowered vertically with respect to the lower lower duct 28. Further, it is possible to prevent the sealing members 33... Sandwiched between the power storage module M and the lower duct 28 from being laterally displaced and lowering the sealing performance.

また位置決め孔２６ｂは貫通孔で構成されているので、位置決めピン２５が位置決め孔２６ｂに正しく嵌合しているか否かを目視により容易に確認することができる。   Further, since the positioning hole 26b is formed of a through hole, it can be easily confirmed visually whether or not the positioning pin 25 is correctly fitted in the positioning hole 26b.

第２〜第５の実施の形態Second to fifth embodiments

次に、図９に基づいて本発明の第２〜第４の実施の形態を説明する。   Next, second to fourth embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

上述した第１の実施の形態では、エンドプレート１４側に位置決めピン２５を設け、連結プレート２６側に位置決め孔２６ｂを設けているが、その位置関係を逆転し、図９（Ａ）に第２の実施の形態として示すように、連結プレート２６側に位置決めピン２５を設け、エンドプレート１４側に位置決め孔１４ａを設けても、第１の実施の形態と同様の作用効果を達成することができる。   In the first embodiment described above, the positioning pin 25 is provided on the end plate 14 side and the positioning hole 26b is provided on the connecting plate 26 side. However, the positional relationship is reversed, and the second example is shown in FIG. As shown in the embodiment, even if the positioning pin 25 is provided on the connecting plate 26 side and the positioning hole 14a is provided on the end plate 14 side, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be achieved. .

また貫通孔である位置決め孔２６ｂ，１４ａに代えて、貫通していない窪みに位置決めピン２５を挿入しても良い。図９（Ｂ）に示す第３の実施の形態は、エンドプレート１４側に位置決めピン２５を設けて連結プレート２６側に窪み２６ｅを設けたものであり、図９（Ｃ）に示す第４の実施の形態は、連結プレート２６側に位置決めピン２５を設けてエンドプレート１４側に窪み１４ｂを設けたものである。第３、第４の実施の形態によっても、第１、第２の実施の形態と同様の作用効果を達成することができる。   Moreover, it may replace with the positioning holes 26b and 14a which are through-holes, and may insert the positioning pin 25 in the hollow which has not penetrated. In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 9B, a positioning pin 25 is provided on the end plate 14 side and a recess 26e is provided on the connecting plate 26 side. The fourth embodiment shown in FIG. In the embodiment, the positioning pin 25 is provided on the connecting plate 26 side, and the depression 14b is provided on the end plate 14 side. Also according to the third and fourth embodiments, the same operational effects as those of the first and second embodiments can be achieved.

また図９（Ｄ）に第５の実施の形態として示すように、エンドプレート１４の主プレート２２に位置決めピン２５を設ける代わりに、エンドプレート１４の副プレート２３に位置決めピン２５を設けても同様の作用効果を達成することができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 9D as the fifth embodiment, the positioning pin 25 may be provided on the sub plate 23 of the end plate 14 instead of providing the positioning pin 25 on the main plate 22 of the end plate 14. The effect of this can be achieved.

以上、本発明の実施の形態を説明したが、本発明はその要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の設計変更を行うことが可能である。   The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

例えば、実施の形態の蓄電セル１１はリチウムイオンバッテリに限定されず、他種のバッテリやキャパシタであっても良い。   For example, the storage cell 11 of the embodiment is not limited to a lithium ion battery, and may be another type of battery or capacitor.

また実施の形態では６個の蓄電モジュールＭを２枚の連結プレート２６で挟持しているが、蓄電モジュールＭの数は複数個であれば良く、連結プレート２６の数も複数枚であれば良い。   In the embodiment, six power storage modules M are sandwiched between two connection plates 26. However, the number of power storage modules M may be plural, and the number of connection plates 26 may be plural. .

また実施の形態では蓄電モジュールＭの積層方向両側で位置決めピン２５による位置決めを行っているが、蓄電モジュールＭの積層方向片側だけで位置決めを行っても良い。   In the embodiment, positioning is performed by the positioning pins 25 on both sides of the storage module M in the stacking direction, but positioning may be performed only on one side of the storage module M in the stacking direction.

また実施の形態では各エンドプレート１４に１本の位置決めピン２５を設けているが、２本以上の位置決めピン２５を設ければ蓄電モジュールＭの姿勢を更に安定させることができる。   In the embodiment, one positioning pin 25 is provided on each end plate 14. However, if two or more positioning pins 25 are provided, the posture of the power storage module M can be further stabilized.

尚、実施の形態ではシール部材３３を用いているが、本発明はシール部材３３を用いない場合にも適用可能である。例えば、アッパーダクト２７あるいはロアダクト２８の仕切り板３１が変形することで生じる蓄電モジュールＭの回り止め対策として有効である。   In the embodiment, the seal member 33 is used. However, the present invention can be applied to the case where the seal member 33 is not used. For example, this is effective as a countermeasure against the rotation of the power storage module M that occurs when the partition plate 31 of the upper duct 27 or the lower duct 28 is deformed.
