[0028] [Description of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure]

[0029] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0030] The connector with a wire cover of the present disclosure includes:

[0031] (1) A housing having a wire lead-out surface; and a wire cover disposed on the housing so as to cover the wire lead-out surface. The housing has a sliding receiving portion at a position juxtaposed with the wire lead-out surface. The wire cover has a sliding portion that slides relative to the sliding receiving portion and a wire retraction space formed on a side separated from the sliding receiving portion. The sliding portion has a wire guiding portion at the front end in the sliding direction relative to the sliding receiving portion, and the wire guiding portion is inclined in a direction opposite to the sliding direction toward the wire retraction space. According to such a configuration, when the wire cover is installed on the housing, the wire disposed on the front side of the sliding portion of the wire cover is guided to the wire retraction space formed on the side separated from the sliding receiving portion through the wire guiding portion. Therefore, when the wire cover is installed, the wire can be prevented from being hooked on the wire cover.

[0032] (2) The sliding receiving portion may be a wall provided at a position overlapping the sliding portion in the inner and outer direction of the wire cover. According to such a configuration, when the wire cover is installed, the wire in contact with the wire guiding portion moves along the inclination of the wire guiding portion to the wire retraction space, so that the wire can be prevented from being bitten between the sliding receiving portion and the sliding portion.

[0033] (3) The sliding receiving portion may protrude from the wire lead-out surface in the wire lead-out direction, and the wire retraction space is formed at a position deviated from the protruding end of the sliding receiving portion in the wire lead-out direction. According to such a configuration, the wire can be retracted to a position deviated from the sliding receiving portion, so that the wire can be prevented from being bitten between the wire cover and the housing.

[0034] (4) The sliding portion may have a retraction recess recessed toward the rear side in the sliding direction at the front end in the sliding direction. According to such a configuration, the wire can be retracted to the retraction recess at the front end of the sliding portion, so that the wire can be prevented from being bitten between the sliding portion and the sliding receiving portion.

[0035] (5) The sliding receiving portion may have a second guiding portion that is inclined so as to incline toward the front side in the sliding direction and toward the inside of the wire cover. According to such a configuration, when the wire comes into contact with the second guiding portion provided on the sliding receiving portion, the wire is guided to the inside of the wire cover. Therefore, when the wire cover is installed, the wire can be prevented from being hooked on the wire cover.

[0036] [Details of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure]

[0037] While referring to the attached Figure 1 , a specific example of the connector C of the wire cover of the present disclosure will be described. In addition, the present invention is not limited to these examples, but is shown in the claims and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the connector C of the wire cover includes a housing 10 and a wire cover 20. The housing 10 has a wire lead-out surface 11 for leading out the wire W. An opening for leading out the wire W is formed in the wire lead-out surface 11, and the wire W is led out from the wire lead-out surface 11 by leading out the wire W from this opening. The wire cover 20 covers the wire lead-out surface 11 and houses the wire W inside.

[0039] Hereinafter, in each component, the side where the wire cover 20 is installed ( Figure 1 the upper side) is defined as the upper side, and the side opposite to the side where the wire cover 20 is installed ( Figure 1 the lower side) is defined as the lower side. The front side in the moving direction of the wire cover 20 when the wire cover 20 is installed on the housing 10 ( Figure 1 the right side) is defined as the front side, and the rear side in the moving direction of the wire cover 20 when the wire cover 20 is installed on the housing 10 ( Figure 1 the left side) is defined as the rear side. In addition, the front side in the direction orthogonal to the paper surface of Figure 1 is defined as the right side, and the depth side is defined as the left side for explanation. In addition, Figure 1 the position of the wire cover 20 in

[0040] is the position in the state where the wire cover 20 is moved and installed on the housing 10. Figure 2 The housing 10 is made of synthetic resin. The housing 10 is formed in a shape that is long in the front-rear direction. As

[0041] shown, a plurality of terminal accommodation chambers 18 for accommodating terminal parts are provided in the housing 10. The plurality of terminal accommodation chambers 18 are arranged in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction.

[0042] The terminal parts are installed on the terminal accommodation chambers 18 from the upper side. The terminal parts are connected to the end portions of the wire W. The wire W is led out upward from the wire lead-out surface 11 of the housing 10. The bundled wire W is bent forward inside the wire cover 20. Figures 2 to 4 As

[0043] shown, guide frames 12 are provided on both left and right sides of the wire lead-out surface 11 (both sides in the direction orthogonal to the sliding direction in the wire lead-out surface 11). The guide frames 12 project upward from the wire lead-out surface 11. The guide frames 12 extend long in the front-rear direction. Figures 2 to 4As shown, a guide rail portion 13 is provided on the guide frame 12. The guide rail portion 13 is fitted with a guide rail receiving portion 25 provided on the wire cover 20 (refer to Figure 5 ). The guide rail portion 13 projects outward from the upper end of the guide frame 12 (the guide rail portion 13 of the guide frame 12 provided on the right side projects to the right, and the guide rail portion 13 of the guide frame 12 provided on the left side projects to the left).

[0044] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, three guide rail portions 13 are provided separately in the front-rear direction. The three guide rail portions 13 are arranged linearly. The size of each guide rail portion 13 in the front-rear direction is larger than the size in the left-right direction. The size of the guide rail portion 13 arranged at the front end and the size of the guide rail portion 13 arranged at the rear end among the three guide rail portions 13 in the front-rear direction are smaller than the size of the guide rail portion 13 arranged at the center in the front-rear direction in the front-rear direction. The guide rail portion 13 arranged at the rear end also serves as a locked portion 14 for the locking portion 27 of the wire cover 20 to be locked.

[0045] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the housing 10 has a sliding receiving portion 15. In the sliding receiving portion 15, when the wire cover 20 is installed, as Figure 1 shown, the sliding portion 22 provided on the wire cover 20 slides. The sliding receiving portion 15 projects upward (in the wire W leading direction) from the wire leading surface 11.

[0046] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the sliding receiving portion 15 is provided at a position (left and right sides) side by side with the wire leading surface 11. The sliding receiving portion 15 provided on the left side of the wire leading surface 11 is a wall projecting along the left side surface of the housing 10. The sliding receiving portion 15 provided on the right side of the wire leading surface 11 is a wall projecting upward along the right side surface of the housing 10.

[0047] As Figure 3 shown, the sliding receiving portion 15 is located outside the guide rail portion 13 (the sliding receiving portion 15 on the right side is located on the right side of the guide rail portion 13 on the right side. The sliding receiving portion 15 on the left side is located on the left side of the guide rail portion 13 on the left side).

[0048] As Figure 3 shown, a second guide portion 17 is provided on the rear surface of the sliding receiving portion 15. The second guide portion 17 is formed at a corner portion inside the rear surface of the sliding receiving portion 15 (on the left side in the sliding receiving portion 15 on the right side, and on the right side in the sliding receiving portion 15 on the left side). The second guide portion 17 is an inclined surface inclined toward the front side (the front side of the moving direction of the wire cover 20) and inclined toward the inside of the wire cover 20. The second guide portion 17 is formed over the entire length from the upper end to the lower end of the sliding receiving portion 15.

[0049] As Figure 4As shown, two sliding receiving portions 15 are provided on the left and right sides of the housing 10, separated from each other in the front-rear direction. The size of each sliding receiving portion 15 in the front-rear direction is larger than the size in the up-down direction. The size of the sliding receiving portion 15 in the up-down direction is equal to the size of the guide frame 12 in the up-down direction.

[0050] As Figure 4 shown, an inclined surface 16 is formed on the rear surface of the sliding receiving portion 15, and the inclined surface 16 slopes upward toward the front. The inclined surface 16 of the front sliding receiving portion 15 is formed over the entire length from the lower end to the upper end. The formation range of the inclined surface 16 of the rear sliding receiving portion 15 in the up-down direction is smaller than the formation range of the inclined surface 16 of the front sliding receiving portion 15 in the up-down direction. The front surface 15A of the sliding receiving portion 15 is perpendicular to the wire lead-out surface 11.

[0051] The wire cover 20 moves along the wire lead-out surface 11 and is mounted on the housing 10. The wire cover 20 is made of synthetic resin. As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the wire cover 20 has a main body portion 21 and a sliding portion 22. The main body portion 21 is formed in a cap shape that is long in the front-rear direction. The main body portion 21 has a pair of left and right side surface portions 23 and an upper surface portion 24 that connects the upper ends of the pair of side surface portions 23. The upper surface portion 24 faces the wire lead-out surface 11 in the state where the wire cover 20 is mounted on the housing 10. The lower surface and the front surface of the main body portion 21 are open.

[0052] The sliding portion 22 slides along the sliding receiving portion 15 of the housing 10 when the wire cover 20 is mounted on the housing 10. As Figure 5 shown, a pair of sliding portions 22 are provided on the left and right sides of the wire cover 20. The left and right sliding portions 22 are symmetric with respect to the center of the wire cover 20 in the left-right direction.

[0053] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the sliding portion 22 extends relatively long in the front-rear direction along the lower end of the side surface portion 23 of the main body portion 21. The sliding portion 22 protrudes toward the inside of the side surface portion 23 (the left sliding portion 22 protrudes more to the right than the left side surface portion 23, and the right sliding portion 22 protrudes more to the left than the right side surface portion 23).

[0054] As Figure 5 shown, a sliding surface 31 is provided on the outer surface of the sliding portion 22 (the right sliding portion 22 has a right surface, and the left sliding portion 22 has a left surface). The sliding surface 31 extends from the front end of the sliding portion 22 toward the rear side. As Figure 7 shown, the sliding surface 31 slides along the upper surface 15C of the sliding receiving portion 15 of the housing 10.

[0055] As Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, a retraction recess 32 is provided at the front end of the sliding portion 22. The retraction recess 32 is formed on the outer side (the right retraction recess 32 is the right side, and the left retraction recess 32 is the left side) of the front end of the sliding portion 22. The retraction recess 32 is provided in a region above (in the wire W lead-out direction) the upper surface (protruding end) 15C of the sliding receiving portion 15. The retraction recess 32 has a recessed inclined surface 32A that inclines outward toward the rear side. The lower end of the recessed inclined surface 32A is connected to the front end of the sliding surface 31. The upper end of the recessed inclined surface 32A is connected to the lower end edge 21A of the main body portion 21.

[0056] As Figure 5 shown, a guide rail receiving portion 25 into which the guide rail portion 13 of the housing 10 is fitted is provided in the sliding portion 22. The guide rail receiving portion 25 is a groove that recesses outward from the inner surface (the right surface for the left sliding portion 22, and the left surface for the right sliding portion 22) of the sliding portion 22.

[0057] The guide rail receiving portion 25 has an opening 25A on the front surface of the sliding portion 22. The opening 25A of the guide rail receiving portion 25 is the entrance and exit of the guide rail portion 13. A tapered portion 26 for guiding the guide rail portion 13 is provided at the opening 25A of the guide rail receiving portion 25. The tapered portion 26 inclines such that the dimensions in the up, down, left, and right directions of the opening 25A become smaller toward the rear side.

[0058] As Figure 5 shown, a second groove portion 28 is provided in the sliding portion 22 in addition to the guide rail receiving portion 25. The second groove portion 28 is a groove that recesses upward from the upper surface of the guide rail receiving portion 25. The second groove portion 28 has an opening 28A on the front surface of the sliding portion 22. The opening 28A of the second groove portion 28 is formed in a shape that is long in the vertical direction. The lower end of the opening 28A of the second groove portion 28 is connected to the inner end of the opening 25A of the guide rail receiving portion 25. The opening 28A of the second groove portion 28 intersects the opening 25A of the guide rail receiving portion 25 at a right angle.

[0059] As Figure 6 shown, a locking portion 27 is provided at the rear end portion of the sliding portion 22, and the locking portion 27 engages with a portion to be locked 14 provided on the housing 10. The locking portion 27 protrudes downward from the upper surface of the guide rail receiving portion 25. The locking portion 27 is elastically displaceable in the vertical direction.

[0060] As Figure 6 shown, the guide rail receiving portion 25 is provided at a position lower than the lower end edge 21A of the main body portion 21. In a state where the wire cover 20 is attached to the housing 10, the lower end edge 21A of the main body portion 21 extends in parallel with the upper end of the sliding portion 22. A gap larger than the outer diameter dimension of the wire W is formed between the lower end edge 21A of the main body portion 21 and the upper end of the sliding portion 22. The gap between the lower end edge 21A of the main body portion 21 and the upper end of the sliding portion 22 is open toward the front.

[0061] As Figure 7 shown, the sliding portion 22 is provided with a wire guiding portion 29 which guides a wire W disposed on the front side of the sliding portion 22 to a wire retraction space S. The wire retraction space S is formed at a position anterior to the front surface of the sliding portion 22. The wire retraction space S is formed on the side separated from the sliding receiving portion 15 in a direction orthogonal to the wire lead-out surface 11. The wire retraction space S is formed at a position superior to the guide rail receiving portion 25. The wire retraction space S is formed inside the side surface portion 23 (the left wire retraction space S is on the right side of the left side surface portion 23, and the right wire retraction space S is on the left side of the right side surface portion 23). The wire retraction space S is formed at a position deviated upward (the wire W lead-out direction) from the upper surface 15C of the sliding receiving portion 15.

[0062] The wire guiding portion 29 is an inclined surface formed on the front surface of the sliding portion 22. The wire guiding portion 29 is inclined so as to incline from the front end toward the rear side toward the wire retraction space S. In other words, the wire guiding portion 29 inclines from the lower end toward the upper end toward the rear side (the direction in which the wire cover 20 separates from the housing 10). The wire guiding portion 29 is formed in a region on the front surface of the sliding portion 22 which is more medial than the retraction recess 32 (see Figure 5 ). As Figure 8 shown, in a state where the wire guiding portion 29 and the inclined surface 16 of the sliding receiving portion 15 face each other in the front-rear direction, the interval in the front-rear direction between the wire guiding portion 29 and the inclined surface 16 becomes larger toward the upper side. The wire guiding portion 29 forms an inclination in a direction opposite to that of the inclined surface 16 of the sliding receiving portion 15.

[0063] Next, an example of the assembly operation of the connector C with a wire cover will be described.

[0064] First, terminal parts are housed in the housing 10. The terminal parts fixed to the end portion of the wire W are inserted into the terminal housing chamber 18 from the wire lead-out surface 11 side of the housing 10. When the terminal parts are housed in the terminal housing chamber 18, the wire W is in a state of being led out from the wire lead-out surface 11.

[0065] Next, the wire cover 20 is attached to the housing 10. Specifically, first, the front end portion of the guide rail receiving portion 25 of the wire cover 20 is engaged with the guide rail portion 13 at the rear end of the housing 10 from the rear side. Then, as Figure 8 shown, the sliding surface 31 of the sliding portion 22 of the wire cover 20 is in a state of being along the upper surface 15C of the sliding receiving portion 15 of the housing 10. Further, as Figure 9As shown, the outer side surface 22A of the sliding portion 22 of the wire cover 20 is in a state of being along the inner side surface 15B of the sliding receiving portion 15 of the housing 10. Specifically, the left side surface of the right sliding receiving portion 15 is along the right side surface of the right sliding portion 22, and the right side surface of the left sliding receiving portion 15 is along the left side surface of the left sliding portion 22.

[0066] Next, the wire cover 20 is moved forward. The movement of the wire cover 20 is linearly guided by the engagement of the guide rail portion 13 and the guide rail receiving portion 25. Along with the movement of the wire cover 20, the bundled wires W are bent inside the main body portion 21. At this time, the wires W may overflow to the outside of the main body portion 21 (the right side or the left side of the main body portion 21). As Figure 8 shown, the wires W that overflow to the outside of the main body portion 21 come into contact with the wire guiding portion 29 of the sliding portion 22, and along with the advancement of the wire cover 20, they retreat to the wire retreat space S. Here, before the wires W are completely retreated to the wire retreat space S, sometimes the interval in the front-rear direction between the wire guiding portion 29 and the inclined surface 16 becomes smaller than the outer diameter dimension of the wires W. In this case, the wires W can retreat to the retreat recess 32 formed at the front end of the sliding portion 22. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wires W from being caught between the wire guiding portion 29 and the inclined surface 16. In this way, the wires W are guided to a position above the upper end of the sliding receiving portion 15 without being caught between the wire guiding portion 29 and the inclined surface 16. In addition, the wires W come into contact with the second guiding portion 17 of the sliding receiving portion 15 and are guided to the inside of the main body portion 21. Here, even when the wires W do not completely enter the inside of the main body portion 21, the wires W are located between the lower end edge 21A of the main body portion 21 and the upper surface 15C of the sliding receiving portion 15, so it is possible to prevent the wires W from being caught between the sliding portion 22 and the sliding receiving portion 15.

[0067] Finally, the wire cover 20 reaches the normal installation position, and the locking portion 27 is engaged with the locked portion 14. Thus, the assembly operation of the connector C with the wire cover is completed.

[0068] Next, the operation and effects of the connector C with the wire cover configured as described above will be described.

[0069] The connector C with the wire cover includes a housing 10 and a wire cover 20. The housing 10 has a wire lead-out surface 11. The wire cover 20 is provided on the housing 10 so as to cover the wire lead-out surface 11. The housing 10 has a sliding receiving portion 15 at a position juxtaposed with the wire lead-out surface 11. The wire cover 20 has a sliding portion 22 that slides relative to the sliding receiving portion 15 and a wire retreat space S formed on the side separated from the sliding receiving portion 15. The sliding portion 22 has a wire guiding portion 29 at the front end in the sliding direction relative to the sliding receiving portion 15, and the wire guiding portion 29 is inclined rearward (in the direction opposite to the sliding direction) toward the wire retreat space S.

[0070] According to this structure, when the wire cover 20 is installed on the housing 10, the wire W disposed on the front side of the sliding portion 22 of the wire cover 20 is guided by the wire guiding portion 29 to the side separated from the sliding receiving portion 15. Therefore, when the wire cover 20 is installed, it is possible to prevent the wire W from being hooked on the sliding portion 22 of the wire cover 20.

[0071] The sliding receiving portion 15 is a wall provided at a position overlapping the outside of the sliding portion 22. According to such a configuration, when the wire cover 20 is installed, the wire W in contact with the wire guiding portion 29 moves toward the wire retreat space S along the inclination of the wire guiding portion 29, and thus it is possible to prevent the wire W from being caught between the sliding receiving portion 15 and the sliding portion 22.

[0072] The sliding receiving portion 15 protrudes from the wire lead-out surface 11 in the wire W lead-out direction. The wire retreat space S is formed at a position deviated upward from the upper surface 15C of the sliding receiving portion 15. According to this structure, it is possible to retreat the wire W to a position deviated from the sliding receiving portion 15, and thus it is possible to prevent the wire W from being caught between the wire cover 20 and the housing 10.

[0073] The sliding portion 22 has a retreat recess 32 recessed rearward at the front end. According to this structure, it is possible to retreat the wire W to the retreat recess 32 at the front end of the sliding portion 22, and thus it is possible to prevent the wire W from being caught between the sliding portion 22 and the sliding receiving portion 15.

[0074] The sliding receiving portion 15 has a second guiding portion 17 that is inclined so as to incline toward the inside of the wire cover 20 in the front side in the sliding direction. According to this structure, when the wire W comes into contact with the second guiding portion 17 provided on the sliding receiving portion 15, the wire W is guided to the inside of the wire cover 20. Therefore, when the wire cover 20 is installed, it is possible to prevent the wire W from being hooked on the sliding portion 22 of the wire cover 20.
