The ECU, which is a voltage detection means, measures the potential difference between the positive electrode 7 and the negative electrode 8 of each battery 2 facing in the direction crossing the one direction H. Then, the power supply device 1 can measure the remaining amount of each battery 2 and the like.
According to this embodiment, when the contact portion 20 provided on the outer edge of the terminal 5 rotates around the electrode 7 or 8 to which the terminal 5 is attached, the locking protrusion provided on the inner side of the bus bar housing portion 11. 27 abuts. And it suppresses rotating centering on the electrode 7 or 8 to which the terminal 5 was attached. For this reason, the anti-rotation part 107B of the conventional power supply device 100 becomes unnecessary. Therefore, in the power supply device 1 of the present invention, the bus bar fitting portion 23 can be formed smaller than the conventional power supply device 100 because the rotation stop portion 107B is unnecessary. Then, it becomes possible to reduce the amount of resin material forming the bus bar accommodating portion 11, it is possible to reduce CO 2, improved resin material walking blind, can reduce the material costs.
In addition, the bus bar fitting portion 23 has a simple structure because the rotation stop portion 107B of the conventional power supply device 100 is not necessary. Accordingly, the mold for forming the bus bar module 26 also has a simple structure.
Further, the penetration portion 21 of the terminal 5 penetrates into the slit 29 provided in the first partition wall 16 to prevent the rotation about the electrode 7 or 8 to which the terminal 5 is attached more reliably. Can do.
In addition, the “slit” shown in the claims is the slit 29 shown in the present specification. However, the through hole 28a shown in the present specification may be a “slit” shown in the claims. Both the through hole 28a and the slit 29 described in the present specification may be “slits” recited in the claims.
