A locking portion 6 having a locking hole 5 is provided at the center of two opposed rising portions 2A on the long side of the battery bracket 2.
Are formed at the facing position so as to protrude upward. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an inverted L-shaped holding portion 7 is formed at the center of two opposed rising portions 3A on the long side of the battery tray 3 so as to protrude upward at the facing position. . The holding portion 7 is configured to be elastically deformable, and a C-shaped holding structure 8 is formed at a free end protruding outward. The battery clamp is a device for fixing the battery 1 on the battery tray 3 to the battery bracket 2. As shown in FIG. 4, a beam structure 9 that straddles the upper surface of the battery 1 on the battery tray 3, and both ends of the beam structure 9 And the beam structure 9 is attached between the battery unit and the battery bracket 2.
And two connecting rods 10 to be pressed.

As shown in FIG. 1, two connecting rods 10
One end is provided with a hook 11 which is hooked into a hook hole 5 provided in the rising 2A of the battery bracket 2, and the other end is provided with a screw portion 12, and the hook 11 is attached to the holding structure 8 of the battery tray 3 respectively. Outward hook 1
It is firmly held at the base of the first part and stands almost vertically with the screw part 12 facing upward. Insertion holes 13 are formed at both ends of the beam structure 9. The hook 11 of the connecting rod 10 is hooked on the latching hole 5, the screw portion 12 is passed through the insertion hole 13, and the nut 14 is screw-fitted. 2 and one end of the beam structure 9 are connected. Hook 1 of connecting rod 10 to hook hole 5 of battery bracket 2
The latching of 1 can be performed by an operation of merely aligning the battery tray 3 with the battery bracket 2 and pressing the battery tray 3 into the rising 2A. That is, the battery tray 3
As a result, the hook 11 of each connecting rod 10 hits the locking portion 6 of the battery bracket 2 and receives an inward force. Due to this force, the holding portion 7 elastically bends inward, and the hook 11 slides down the inner surface of the locking portion 6, reaches the hooking hole 5, and enters the hooking hole 5 together with the elastic return of the holding portion 7. It will be hung (see FIG. 4).

The fixing operation of the battery 1 by this battery holding device is simple and has good workability. That is, first, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the hook 11 is hooked in the hook hole 5 of the battery bracket 2, and the battery 1 is placed on the battery tray 3 holding the two connecting rods 10 in an upright state. .
