After that, the case 100 is heated to cure the filled resin 700 in the accommodating portion 101 and the recess 800.
 なお、図4(b)では、左側の箱状部120の近傍を示したが、右側の箱状部120の近傍も同様の構成である。すなわち、右側の箱状部120の上面121にも、凹部800と収容部101との間に切欠き101aが形成され、切欠き101aを介して、右側の箱状部120の2つの凹部800内に充填樹脂700が満たされる。 Note that, in FIG. 4B, the vicinity of the box-shaped portion 120 on the left side is shown, but the vicinity of the box-shaped portion 120 on the right side has the same configuration. That is, a notch 101a is also formed between the recess 800 and the accommodating portion 101 on the upper surface 121 of the box-shaped portion 120 on the right side, and the inside of the two recesses 800 of the box-shaped portion 120 on the right side is formed through the notch 101a. Is filled with the filling resin 700.
 こうして、図1に示すようにフィルムコンデンサ1が完成する。 In this way, the film capacitor 1 is completed as shown in FIG.
 図5(a)、(b)は、左側の箱状部120の上面121に形成された2つの凹部800の近傍における断面図である。 5 (a) and 5 (b) are cross-sectional views in the vicinity of two recesses 800 formed on the upper surface 121 of the box-shaped portion 120 on the left side.
 図5(a)は、突部321の前後方向中央を通る上下方向および左右方向に平行な平面でフィルムコンデンサ1を切断したときの切断面を、前方から見た断面図である。図5(b)は、右側の突部321の左右方向中央を通る上下方向および前後方向に平行な平面でフィルムコンデンサ1を切断したときの切断面を、右方から見た断面図である。なお、図5(a)に示す断面構成は、右側の箱状部120においても同様であり、図5(b)に示す断面構成は、左側の突部321および2つの突部421においても同様である。 FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view of the cut surface when the film capacitor 1 is cut in a plane parallel to the vertical direction and the horizontal direction passing through the center of the protrusion 321 in the front-rear direction, as viewed from the front. FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view of the cut surface when the film capacitor 1 is cut in a plane parallel to the vertical direction and the front-rear direction passing through the center of the right-side protrusion 321 in the left-right direction, as viewed from the right. The cross-sectional structure shown in FIG. 5A is the same for the box-shaped portion 120 on the right side, and the cross-sectional structure shown in FIG. 5B is the same for the left protruding portion 321 and the two protruding portions 421. Is.
 図5(a)に示すように、凹部800は、水平面に平行な底面810と、凹部800の上端付近に形成された傾斜面821と、凹部800の下端付近に形成された側面822と、を備える。凹部800の内側面に傾斜面821が形成されることにより、凹部800は、上端から下方に向かうにしたがって、凹部800の水平面における幅が狭くなる。 As shown in FIG. 5A, the recess 800 includes a bottom surface 810 parallel to a horizontal plane, an inclined surface 821 formed near the upper end of the recess 800, and a side surface 822 formed near the lower end of the recess 800. Be prepared. By forming the inclined surface 821 on the inner side surface of the recess 800, the width of the recess 800 in the horizontal plane becomes narrower from the upper end to the lower side.
 また、凹部800の後端と収容部101との間には、図4(b)を参照して説明したように、切欠き101aが形成されている。切欠き101aは、凹部800の内部と収容部101の内部とを接続する接続通路である。切欠き101aが形成されることにより、収容部101に充填樹脂700が液相状態で注入されると、収容部101内の充填樹脂700が切欠き101aを通って凹部800内に流入する。 Further, as described with reference to FIG. 4B, a notch 101a is formed between the rear end of the recess 800 and the accommodating portion 101. The notch 101a is a connecting passage connecting the inside of the recess 800 and the inside of the accommodating portion 101. When the filling resin 700 is injected into the accommodating portion 101 in a liquid phase state due to the formation of the notch 101a, the filling resin 700 in the accommodating portion 101 flows into the recess 800 through the notch 101a.
 図5(b)に示すように、凹部800は、切欠き101aの下方に、切欠き101aの下端から下方に形成された傾斜面831と、凹部800の下端付近に形成された側面832と、を備える。切欠き101aの下方に傾斜面831が形成されることにより、凹部800は、切欠き101aの下端から下方に向かうにしたがって、凹部800の水平面における幅が狭くなる。傾斜面821、831が形成されることにより、図3に示したように、コンデンサ素子ユニット1aがケース100の収容部101内に収容される際に、突部321、421を円滑に凹部800内に挿入できる。これにより、第1バスバー300の接続孔322に接続端子部520を円滑に挿入でき、第2バスバー400の接続孔422に接続端子部620を円滑に挿入できる。 As shown in FIG. 5B, the recess 800 includes an inclined surface 831 formed below the notch 101a from the lower end of the notch 101a and a side surface 832 formed near the lower end of the recess 800. To prepare for. By forming the inclined surface 831 below the notch 101a, the width of the recess 800 in the horizontal plane of the recess 800 becomes narrower from the lower end of the notch 101a toward the lower side. By forming the inclined surfaces 821 and 831, as shown in FIG. 3, when the capacitor element unit 1a is housed in the housing portion 101 of the case 100, the protrusions 321 and 421 are smoothly inserted in the recess 800. Can be inserted into. As a result, the connection terminal portion 520 can be smoothly inserted into the connection hole 322 of the first bus bar 300, and the connection terminal portion 620 can be smoothly inserted into the connection hole 422 of the second bus bar 400.
 次に、図1を参照して、フィルムコンデンサ1と外部装置との接続について説明する。 Next, the connection between the film capacitor 1 and the external device will be described with reference to FIG.
 フィルムコンデンサ1は、たとえば、電気自動車において電気モータを駆動するためのインバータ装置に搭載される。インバータ装置には、電源装置(バッテリー)から直流の電力が供給される。インバータ装置は、IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)を含むインバータ回路を備え、直流の電力を3相交流の電力に変換し、電気モータへ供給する。 The film capacitor 1 is mounted on, for example, an inverter device for driving an electric motor in an electric vehicle. DC power is supplied to the inverter device from the power supply device (battery). The inverter device includes an inverter circuit including an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), converts direct current power into three-phase alternating power, and supplies it to an electric motor.
 第1バスバー300の外部接続端子部310には、対応する外部装置(電源装置およびインバータ装置)の外部端子が、取付孔311を用いたネジ止めにより接続される。同様に、第2バスバー400の外部接続端子部410には、対応する外部装置(電源装置および電源モータ)の外部端子が、取付孔411を用いたネジ止めにより接続される。 The external terminals of the corresponding external devices (power supply device and inverter device) are connected to the external connection terminal portion 310 of the first bus bar 300 by screwing using the mounting holes 311. Similarly, the external terminals of the corresponding external devices (power supply device and power supply motor) are connected to the external connection terminal portion 410 of the second bus bar 400 by screwing using the mounting holes 411.
 また、第1端子500の外部接続端子部510および第2端子600の外部接続端子部610には、コンデンサ素子200の電圧値を監視するための外部装置の外部端子が、半田付け等の接合方法により接続される。フィルムコンデンサ1の通電時、コンデンサ素子200の電圧が電圧信号として、接続端子部320、420を介して、信号出力端子である外部接続端子部510、610から外部装置に出力される。これにより、外部装置に含まれる、電圧信号を監視するための監視装置において、コンデンサ素子200の電圧を検出し、監視することが可能となる。 Further, an external terminal of an external device for monitoring the voltage value of the capacitor element 200 is attached to the external connection terminal portion 510 of the first terminal 500 and the external connection terminal portion 610 of the second terminal 600 by a joining method such as soldering. Connected by. When the film capacitor 1 is energized, the voltage of the capacitor element 200 is output as a voltage signal from the external connection terminal portions 510 and 610, which are signal output terminals, to the external device via the connection terminal portions 320 and 420. This makes it possible to detect and monitor the voltage of the capacitor element 200 in the monitoring device for monitoring the voltage signal included in the external device.
 <実施の形態の効果>
 以上、本実施の形態によれば、以下の効果が奏される。
<Effect of embodiment>
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects are achieved.
 第1バスバー300は、電極端子部330および接続端子部320を備え、電極端子部330は、コンデンサ素子200の第1電極210に接続される。第2バスバー400は、電極端子部430および接続端子部420を備え、電極端子部430は、コンデンサ素子200の第2電極220に接続される。接続端子部320は、収容部101の外部(上方)に位置付けられるとともに突部321を有する。接続端子部420は、収容部101の外部(上方)に位置付けられるとともに突部421を有する。ケース100は、突部321、421が挿入される凹部800を有する。 The first bus bar 300 includes an electrode terminal portion 330 and a connection terminal portion 320, and the electrode terminal portion 330 is connected to the first electrode 210 of the capacitor element 200. The second bus bar 400 includes an electrode terminal portion 430 and a connection terminal portion 420, and the electrode terminal portion 430 is connected to the second electrode 220 of the capacitor element 200. The connection terminal portion 320 is positioned outside (above) the accommodating portion 101 and has a protrusion 321. The connection terminal portion 420 is positioned outside (above) the accommodating portion 101 and has a protrusion 421. The case 100 has a recess 800 into which the protrusions 321 and 421 are inserted.
 この構成によれば、凹部800に突部321、421を挿入することにより、第1バスバー300および第2バスバー400をケース100に対して設置できる。これにより、第1バスバー300および第2バスバー400をケース100に対して簡易に設置できる。 According to this configuration, the first bus bar 300 and the second bus bar 400 can be installed on the case 100 by inserting the protrusions 321 and 421 into the recess 800. As a result, the first bus bar 300 and the second bus bar 400 can be easily installed on the case 100.
 ここで、本実施の形態では、第1バスバー300の接続端子部320および第2バスバー400の接続端子部420は、コンデンサ素子200の電圧値を監視するための外部装置へ電圧値を中継するために設けられている。したがって、本実施の形態の本体部320a、420a(図2参照)は、左右方向の幅が狭くなるよう構成されている。このように本体部320a、420aの左右方向の幅が狭くなると、接続端子部320、420をケース100に設置するための嵌合孔を本体部320a、420aに設けるのが困難になる。これに対し、本実施の形態では、接続端子部320の左右に突部321が設けられ、接続端子部420の左右に突部421が設けられている。これにより、本体部320a、420aの左右方向の幅が狭くても、突部321、421を凹部800に挿入することにより、接続端子部320、420をケース100に設置できる。 Here, in the present embodiment, the connection terminal portion 320 of the first bus bar 300 and the connection terminal portion 420 of the second bus bar 400 relay the voltage value to an external device for monitoring the voltage value of the capacitor element 200. It is provided in. Therefore, the main body portions 320a and 420a (see FIG. 2) of the present embodiment are configured to have a narrow width in the left-right direction. When the widths of the main bodies 320a and 420a in the left-right direction are narrowed in this way, it becomes difficult to provide fitting holes for installing the connection terminal portions 320 and 420 in the case 100 in the main bodies 320a and 420a. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, protrusions 321 are provided on the left and right sides of the connection terminal portion 320, and protrusions 421 are provided on the left and right sides of the connection terminal portion 420. As a result, even if the widths of the main bodies 320a and 420a in the left-right direction are narrow, the connection terminal portions 320 and 420 can be installed in the case 100 by inserting the protrusions 321 and 421 into the recess 800.
 なお、電気抵抗の増加を抑制するために、左右方向の幅が広くなるよう本体部320a、420aが構成された場合、本体部320a、420aに嵌合穴が設けられると電気抵抗が増加してしまう。したがって、この場合も、嵌合穴を本体部320a、420aに設けるのが困難となる。これに対し、本実施の形態によれば、接続端子部320、420にそれぞれ突部321、421が設けられることにより、電気抵抗の増加を抑制しながら、接続端子部320、420をケース100に設置できる。 In addition, when the main body portions 320a and 420a are configured so that the width in the left-right direction becomes wide in order to suppress the increase in the electric resistance, the electric resistance increases when the fitting holes are provided in the main body portions 320a and 420a. It ends up. Therefore, in this case as well, it is difficult to provide the fitting holes in the main body portions 320a and 420a. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the connection terminal portions 320 and 420 are provided with the protrusions 321 and 421, respectively, so that the connection terminal portions 320 and 420 are placed in the case 100 while suppressing an increase in electrical resistance. Can be installed.
 突部321は、接続端子部320の一部が折り曲げられることにより形成され、突部421は、接続端子部420の一部が折り曲げられることにより形成される。 The protrusion 321 is formed by bending a part of the connection terminal portion 320, and the protrusion 421 is formed by bending a part of the connection terminal portion 420.
 この構成によれば、接続端子部320、420の幅が狭い場合でも、第1バスバー300に突部321を簡易に形成でき、第2バスバー400に突部421を簡易に形成できる。 According to this configuration, even when the widths of the connection terminal portions 320 and 420 are narrow, the protrusion 321 can be easily formed on the first bus bar 300, and the protrusion 421 can be easily formed on the second bus bar 400.
 凹部800は、上端(入口部)から下方(内部)に向かうにしたがって、凹部800の幅が狭くなるように傾斜面821、831を有する。 The recess 800 has inclined surfaces 821 and 831 so that the width of the recess 800 becomes narrower from the upper end (entrance portion) toward the lower side (inside).
 この構成によれば、突部321、421を傾斜面821、831に沿って凹部800の内部へと円滑に挿入できる。 According to this configuration, the protrusions 321 and 421 can be smoothly inserted into the recess 800 along the inclined surfaces 821 and 831.
 第1端子500は、ケース100にインサート成形され、外部接続端子部510(第1端子500の一端)は、外部に引き出されている。第2端子600は、ケース100にインサート成形され、外部接続端子部610(第2端子600の一端)は、外部に引き出されている。第1バスバー300の接続端子部320は、突部321が凹部800に挿入されたときに、接続端子部520(第1端子500の他端)に接続可能な位置に位置付けられるよう構成される。第2バスバー400の接続端子部420は、突部421が凹部800に挿入されたときに、接続端子部620(第2端子600の他端)に接続可能な位置に位置付けられるよう構成される。 The first terminal 500 is insert-molded into the case 100, and the external connection terminal portion 510 (one end of the first terminal 500) is pulled out to the outside. The second terminal 600 is insert-molded into the case 100, and the external connection terminal portion 610 (one end of the second terminal 600) is pulled out to the outside. The connection terminal portion 320 of the first bus bar 300 is configured to be positioned at a position where it can be connected to the connection terminal portion 520 (the other end of the first terminal 500) when the protrusion 321 is inserted into the recess 800. The connection terminal portion 420 of the second bus bar 400 is configured to be positioned at a position where it can be connected to the connection terminal portion 620 (the other end of the second terminal 600) when the protrusion 421 is inserted into the recess 800.
 この構成によれば、突部321、421を凹部800に挿入して第1バスバー300および第2バスバー400をケース100に対して設置することにより、第1バスバー300の接続端子部320および第1端子500の接続端子部520の位置を一致させることができ、第2バスバー400の接続端子部420および第2端子600の接続端子部620の位置を一致させることができる。よって、第1バスバー300と第1端子500との接続および第2バスバー400と第2端子600との接続を円滑に行うことができる。 According to this configuration, by inserting the protrusions 321 and 421 into the recess 800 and installing the first bus bar 300 and the second bus bar 400 with respect to the case 100, the connection terminal portions 320 and the first bus bar 300 of the first bus bar 300 are installed. The positions of the connection terminal portion 520 of the terminal 500 can be matched, and the positions of the connection terminal portion 420 of the second bus bar 400 and the connection terminal portion 620 of the second terminal 600 can be matched. Therefore, the connection between the first bus bar 300 and the first terminal 500 and the connection between the second bus bar 400 and the second terminal 600 can be smoothly performed.
 第1バスバー300の接続端子部320は、第1端子500の接続端子部520を挿入可能な接続孔322を有し、第2バスバー400の接続端子部420は、第2端子600の接続端子部620を挿入可能な接続孔422を有する。接続孔322は、突部321が凹部800に挿入されたときに接続端子部520(第1端子500の他端)に挿入される位置に設けられ、接続孔422は、突部421が凹部800に挿入されたときに接続端子部620(第2端子600の他端)が挿入される位置に設けられる。 The connection terminal portion 320 of the first bus bar 300 has a connection hole 322 into which the connection terminal portion 520 of the first terminal 500 can be inserted, and the connection terminal portion 420 of the second bus bar 400 has a connection terminal portion of the second terminal 600. It has a connection hole 422 into which a 620 can be inserted. The connection hole 322 is provided at a position where the protrusion 321 is inserted into the connection terminal portion 520 (the other end of the first terminal 500) when the protrusion 321 is inserted into the recess 800, and the connection hole 422 has the protrusion 421 of the recess 800. It is provided at a position where the connection terminal portion 620 (the other end of the second terminal 600) is inserted when it is inserted into.
 この構成によれば、突部321、421を凹部800に挿入して、第1バスバー300および第2バスバー400をケース100に対して設置することにより、接続孔322および接続端子部520の位置を一致させることができ、接続孔422および接続端子部620の位置を一致させることができる。よって、第1バスバー300と第1端子500との接続および第2バスバー400と第2端子600との接続を、確実かつ円滑に行うことができる。 According to this configuration, by inserting the protrusions 321 and 421 into the recess 800 and installing the first bus bar 300 and the second bus bar 400 with respect to the case 100, the positions of the connection hole 322 and the connection terminal portion 520 can be determined. It can be matched, and the positions of the connection hole 422 and the connection terminal portion 620 can be matched. Therefore, the connection between the first bus bar 300 and the first terminal 500 and the connection between the second bus bar 400 and the second terminal 600 can be surely and smoothly performed.
 突部321は、突部321と凹部800との間に充填樹脂700が充填されることにより、凹部800に対して固定され、突部421は、突部421と凹部800との間に充填樹脂700が充填されることにより、凹部800に対して固定される。 The protrusion 321 is fixed to the recess 800 by filling the filling resin 700 between the protrusion 321 and the recess 800, and the protrusion 421 is fixed to the recess 800, and the protrusion 421 is filled with the filling resin between the protrusion 421 and the recess 800. By filling 700, it is fixed to the recess 800.
 この構成によれば、第1バスバー300および第2バスバー400をケース100に対して確実に固定することができる。 According to this configuration, the first bus bar 300 and the second bus bar 400 can be securely fixed to the case 100.
 ケース100は、コンデンサ素子200を収容する収容部101と、凹部800とを接続する切欠き101a(接続通路)を備える。突部321、421は、コンデンサ素子200と収容部101との間に充填された充填樹脂700が切欠き101aを介して凹部800に充填されることにより、凹部800に対して固定される。 The case 100 includes a notch 101a (connection passage) for connecting the accommodating portion 101 accommodating the capacitor element 200 and the recess 800. The protrusions 321 and 421 are fixed to the recess 800 by filling the recess 800 with the filling resin 700 filled between the capacitor element 200 and the accommodating portion 101 via the notch 101a.

It can be fixed smoothly.
 以上、本発明の実施の形態について説明したが、本発明は、上記実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、また、本発明の適用例も、上記実施の形態の他に、種々の変更が可能である。 Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the application examples of the present invention may be changed in various ways in addition to the above embodiments. It is possible.
 <変更例1>
 上記実施の形態では、凹部800に傾斜面821、831が設けられたが、変更例1では、突部321、421に傾斜面が設けられる。
<Change example 1>
In the above embodiment, the recesses 800 are provided with inclined surfaces 821 and 831, but in the first modification, the protrusions 321 and 421 are provided with inclined surfaces.
 図6(a)、(b)は、変更例1に係る、左側の箱状部120の上面121に形成された凹部800の近傍における断面図である。図6(a)、(b)は、それぞれ、図5(a)、(b)と同様の断面図である。 6 (a) and 6 (b) are cross-sectional views in the vicinity of the recess 800 formed on the upper surface 121 of the left box-shaped portion 120 according to the first modification. 6 (a) and 6 (b) are cross-sectional views similar to those of FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), respectively.
 変更例1では、図6(a)に示すように、突部321の左右の側面に傾斜面321aが形成され、図6(b)に示すように、突部321の前後の側面に傾斜面321bが形成される。これにより、接続端子部320に設けられた突部321の断面は、下方に進むにつれて左右方向および前後方向の幅が小さくなるよう構成される。また、上記実施の形態と比較して、凹部800の側面から傾斜面が省略され、側面822、832が上方向に延びている。変更例1では、2つの突部421と、2つの突部421に対応する2つの凹部800も、図6(a)、(b)と同様に構成される。 In the first modification, as shown in FIG. 6A, inclined surfaces 321a are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the protrusion 321 and as shown in FIG. 6B, inclined surfaces are formed on the front and rear side surfaces of the protrusion 321. 321b is formed. As a result, the cross section of the protrusion 321 provided on the connection terminal portion 320 is configured so that the width in the left-right direction and the width in the front-rear direction becomes smaller as it goes downward. Further, as compared with the above embodiment, the inclined surface is omitted from the side surface of the recess 800, and the side surfaces 822 and 832 extend upward. In the first modification, the two protrusions 421 and the two recesses 800 corresponding to the two protrusions 421 are also configured in the same manner as in FIGS. 6A and 6B.
 変更例1においても、突部321、421に傾斜面が形成されることにより、突部321、421は、上端から下方に向かうにしたがって幅が狭くなっている。これにより、突部321、421を凹部800の内部へと円滑に挿入できる。 Also in the first modification, the width of the protrusions 321 and 421 becomes narrower from the upper end to the lower side due to the formation of the inclined surface on the protrusions 321 and 421. As a result, the protrusions 321 and 421 can be smoothly inserted into the recess 800.
 なお、上記実施の形態および変更例1では、突部321、421と凹部800のいずれか一方に傾斜面が設けられたが、両方に傾斜面が設けられてもよい。また、突部321、421および凹部800に設ける傾斜面に代えて、幅が下方に進むにつれて段階的に狭くなるよう、断面が階段状の面が形成されてもよい。 In the above-described embodiment and modification 1, an inclined surface is provided on either one of the protrusions 321 and 421 and the recess 800, but an inclined surface may be provided on both of them. Further, instead of the inclined surfaces provided in the protrusions 321 and 421 and the recess 800, a surface having a stepped cross section may be formed so that the width gradually narrows as the width advances downward.

On the other hand, in the second modification, the flange portions 320b and 420b are omitted, and separate protrusions 321 and 421 are joined to the lower surfaces of the main body portions 320a and 420a by welding or the like.
 図7(a)は、変更例2に係る、左側の箱状部120の近傍の上面図である。なお、右側の箱状部120の近傍の構成も同様であるため、以下、左側の箱状部120の近傍の構成についてのみ説明する。 FIG. 7A is a top view of the vicinity of the box-shaped portion 120 on the left side according to the second modification. Since the configuration in the vicinity of the box-shaped portion 120 on the right side is the same, the configuration in the vicinity of the box-shaped portion 120 on the left side will be described below.
 図7(a)に示すように、変更例2では、接続端子部320の本体部320aの下面に、2つの突部321が間隔を開けて形成されている。これにより、2つの突部321の左右方向における中心間の距離は、上記実施の形態よりも短くなる。したがって、変更例2では、2つの凹部800の中心間の距離が上記実施の形態よりも短くなるよう、2つの凹部800が、左側の箱状部120の上面121に形成される。 As shown in FIG. 7A, in the second modification, two protrusions 321 are formed at intervals on the lower surface of the main body 320a of the connection terminal 320. As a result, the distance between the centers of the two protrusions 321 in the left-right direction is shorter than that of the above embodiment. Therefore, in the second modification, the two recesses 800 are formed on the upper surface 121 of the box-shaped portion 120 on the left side so that the distance between the centers of the two recesses 800 is shorter than that in the above embodiment.
 変更例2においても、突部321、421を凹部800に挿入することにより、第1バスバー300および第2バスバー400をケース100に対して設置できる。 Also in the second modification, the first bus bar 300 and the second bus bar 400 can be installed in the case 100 by inserting the protrusions 321 and 421 into the recess 800.
 なお、変更例2では、突部321、421を、本体部320a、420aの下面に溶接等により接合する必要がある。したがって、より簡易に突部321、421を形成するためには、上記実施の形態のように、接続端子部320、420の一部を折り曲げることにより突部321、421を形成するのが好ましい。 In the second modification, the protrusions 321 and 421 need to be joined to the lower surfaces of the main bodies 320a and 420a by welding or the like. Therefore, in order to form the protrusions 321 and 421 more easily, it is preferable to form the protrusions 321 and 421 by bending a part of the connection terminal portions 320 and 420 as in the above embodiment.
 <変更例3>
 上記実施の形態では、接続端子部320は、2つの突部321が2つの凹部800に挿入されることによりケース100に対して設置されたが、変更例3では、3つの突部が3つの凹部に挿入されることによりケース100に対して設置される。同様に、接続端子部420も、3つの突部が3つの凹部に挿入されることによりケース100に対して設置される。

 図7(b)は、変更例3に係る、左側の箱状部120の近傍の上面図である。なお、右側の箱状部120の近傍の構成も同様であるため、以下、左側の箱状部120の近傍の構成についてのみ説明する。 FIG. 7B is a top view of the vicinity of the box-shaped portion 120 on the left side according to the modified example 3. Since the configuration in the vicinity of the box-shaped portion 120 on the right side is the same, the configuration in the vicinity of the box-shaped portion 120 on the left side will be described below.
 図7(b)に示すように、変更例3では、2つの突部321と接続孔322との間に、さらに突部323が形成されている。突部323は、本体部320aの下面に溶接等により接合されている。突部323は、突部321と同様の形状を有し、上下方向および左右方向に平行な面を有する。また、変更例3では、突部323の下方において、箱状部120の上面121に凹部900が形成されている。凹部900は、凹部800と同様の形状を有する。 As shown in FIG. 7B, in the modified example 3, a protrusion 323 is further formed between the two protrusions 321 and the connection hole 322. The protrusion 323 is joined to the lower surface of the main body 320a by welding or the like. The protrusion 323 has the same shape as the protrusion 321 and has planes parallel to the vertical and horizontal directions. Further, in the third modification, a recess 900 is formed on the upper surface 121 of the box-shaped portion 120 below the protrusion 323. The recess 900 has the same shape as the recess 800.
 組み立ての際、2つの突部321が2つの凹部800に挿入され、突部323が凹部900に挿入される。その後、収容部101に充填樹脂700が充填されることにより、収容部101および凹部800内に充填樹脂700が満たされる。また、凹部900内にも別途、充填樹脂700が充填される。 At the time of assembly, the two protrusions 321 are inserted into the two recesses 800, and the protrusions 323 are inserted into the recesses 900. After that, the accommodating portion 101 is filled with the filling resin 700, so that the accommodating portion 101 and the recess 800 are filled with the filling resin 700. Further, the recess 900 is also separately filled with the filling resin 700.
 変更例3によれば、2つの突部321を2つの凹部800に挿入し、さらに突部323を凹部900に挿入することにより、第1バスバー300をケース100に対して、さらに強固に設置できる。右側の箱状部120についても同様に、3つの突部が3つの凹部に挿入されることにより、第2バスバー400をケース100に対して、さらに強固に設置できる。 According to the third modification, the first bus bar 300 can be installed more firmly with respect to the case 100 by inserting the two protrusions 321 into the two recesses 800 and further inserting the protrusions 323 into the recesses 900. .. Similarly, for the box-shaped portion 120 on the right side, the second bus bar 400 can be installed more firmly with respect to the case 100 by inserting the three protrusions into the three recesses.
 なお、変更例3では、凹部900は収容部101に繋がっていないため、突部323を固定する際に、別途、充填樹脂700を凹部900に充填する必要がある。したがって、変更例3において、凹部900と凹部800とを接続する切欠きを設け、収容部101への充填樹脂700の充填に応じて、凹部900にも充填樹脂700が充填されるようにしてもよい。 In the third modification, since the recess 900 is not connected to the accommodating portion 101, it is necessary to separately fill the recess 900 with the filling resin 700 when fixing the protrusion 323. Therefore, in the third modification, a notch connecting the recess 900 and the recess 800 is provided so that the recess 900 is also filled with the filling resin 700 according to the filling of the accommodating portion 101 with the filling resin 700. good.
