STRUCTURE OF MOUNTING CURRENT SENSOR TO BATTERY CABLE
First Claim
1. A structure of mounting a current sensor to a battery cable, the structure comprising:
- a battery cable;
a thermal fusion bonding tape wound around an outer circumference of the battery cable; and
a current sensor comprisinga housing including a current detecting part configured to detect a current flowing through the battery cable, anda holder configured to hold and compress a thermal fusion bonding tape mounting portion in cooperation with the housing to deform a cross-sectional shape of the thermal fusion bonding tape mounting portion into an elliptical shape, the thermal fusion bonding tape mounting portion being a portion where the thermal fusion bonding tape is wound around the battery cable,wherein upon a compression between the housing and the holder being released, the elliptical shape of the cross-sectional shape of the thermal fusion bonding tape mounting portion is maintained.

Abstract
A structure of mounting a current sensor to a battery cable includes a battery cable, a thermal fusion bonding tape wound around an outer circumference of the battery cable, and a current sensor. The current sensor includes a housing including a current detecting part configured to detect a current flowing through the battery cable, and a holder configured to hold and compress a thermal fusion bonding tape mounting portion in cooperation with the housing to deform a cross-sectional shape of the thermal fusion bonding tape mounting portion into an elliptical shape. The thermal fusion bonding tape mounting portion is a portion where the thermal fusion bonding tape is wound around the battery cable. Upon a compression between the housing and the holder being released, the elliptical shape of the cross-sectional shape of the thermal fusion bonding tape mounting portion is maintained.
