Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a wiring harness equipped with a connector and a connector. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, when a connector and electric wires used in a vehicle are connected to each other, a plurality of bus bars (terminals) accommodated in a housing and a plurality of mating terminals connected to one end of the electric wires are fastened by bolts (Patent Document 1).

[0003] The electric wire is sometimes connected between the connector and another product in a bent state. Therefore, when the mating terminal is simply placed on the bus bar, the force of the electric wire returning to a straight line causes the mating terminal to fall off the bus bar. In this case, after the other ends of the plurality of electric wires are first connected to another product, it is necessary to find the electric wire to be connected to the predetermined bus bar from the plurality of electric wires, guide one end of the electric wire to the predetermined bus bar, and tighten the bus bar and the mating terminal connected to one end of the electric wire with bolts, which leads to a problem of poor operability.

[0064] The lengths of the first connection parts 61 of a pair of male terminals 6, 6 in the up-down direction are the same. The lengths of the first parts 62 of a pair of male terminals 6, 6 in the front-to-back direction are also the same. By providing the second part 64 only in the male terminal 6 on the right side, the first part 62 of the male terminal 6 on the right side is arranged below the first part 62 of the male terminal 6 on the left side. In addition, the second connection part 63 of the male terminal 6 on the right side is arranged at the rear and lower side of the second connection part 63 of the male terminal 6 on the left side. That is, the second connection parts 63 of a pair of male terminals 6 are arranged side by side in the front-to-back direction and the up-to-down direction. The second connection part 63 is provided with a bolt through hole 65 for the bolt 9 to pass through.

[0065] The housing 7 is made of resin. Figure 3 As shown, the housing 7 has an air portion 71 in the up-down direction and an oil portion 72 arranged to extend rearward from the lower end of the air portion 71. The first connection portion 61 and the second portion 64 of the male terminal 6 are accommodated in the air portion 71. The air portion 71 is arranged in a bottomed tubular shape opened upward, and watertightness between the air portion 72 and the oil portion 71 is ensured in the housing 7 by injecting a filler into the bottom thereof.

[0066] The oil-in-place portion 72 is provided with an O-ring groove 73 for accommodating the O-ring 8 on the outer surface of the front side. The oil-in-place portion 72 is provided with an accommodating hole 74 for accommodating the first portion 62 of the male terminal 6. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the oil-mid portion 72 further includes: a rear end portion 75 as a bottom, a first wall portion 76 , a pair of second wall portions 771 , 772 , a pair of third wall portions 781 , 782 and a pair of fourth wall portions 791 , 792 .

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, a pair of nuts 5, 5 are mounted on the rear end portion 75. The first wall portion 76 stands upright from the rear end portion 75 and extends in the left-right direction. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first wall portion 76 is arranged between the LA terminals 3 and LA terminals 3 adjacent to each other in the up-down direction, and insulates the two LA terminals 3 and 3 from each other. The second wall portion 771 stands downward and upward from the first wall portion 76, and covers the lower LA terminal 3. The second wall portion 772 stands upward from the first wall portion 76, and covers the upper LA terminal 3.

[0068] The third wall portion 781 stands upright rearward from the rear end portion 75, and accommodates the nut 5 arranged below the first wall portion 76 between the third wall portion 781 and the first wall portion 76. The third wall portion 782 stands upright rearward from the rear end portion 75, and accommodates the nut 5 arranged above the first wall portion 76 between the third wall portion 782 and the first wall portion 76.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the fourth wall portion 791 stands upright from the rear end portion 75 to the rear, and is set to connect the first wall portion 76 and the third wall portion 781 on the lower side. The fourth wall portion 792 stands upright from the rear end portion 75 to the rear, and is set to connect the first wall portion 76 and the third wall portion 782 on the upper side. The fourth wall portion 792 is set on the left side of the fourth wall portion 791. The receiving hole 74 for accommodating the male terminal 6 on the left side is set to communicate with the fourth wall portion 792 on the left side. The receiving hole 74 for accommodating the male terminal 6 on the right side is set to communicate with the fourth wall portion 791 on the right side.

[0070] The rear end portion 75 of the oil-in-place portion 72, the first wall portion 76 at the center, the fourth wall portion 792 on the left side, and the third wall portion 782 on the upper side are provided with a nut receiving groove for receiving the nut 5 connected to the left male terminal 6. The nut receiving groove extends in the left-right direction, and an insertion port for inserting the nut 5 is provided on the right side thereof.

[0071] The rear end portion 75 of the oil-in-place portion 72, the first wall portion 76 at the center, the fourth wall portion 791 on the right side, and the third wall portion 781 on the lower side are provided with a nut receiving groove for receiving the nut 5 connected to the right male terminal 6. The nut receiving groove extends in the left-right direction, and an insertion port for inserting the nut 5 is provided on the left side thereof.

[0072] like Figure 1As shown, the rear end of the first part 62 of the male terminal 6 and the second connecting portion 63 protrude from the receiving hole 74 to the outside of the housing 7. The second connecting portion 63 is bent from the rear end of the first part 62 toward the insertion port of the nut receiving groove. The second connecting portion 63 is spaced apart from the rear end portion 75 in the front-to-rear direction. When the nut 5 is received between the second connecting portion 63 and the rear end portion 75, the nut 5 is sandwiched between the second connecting portion 63 and the housing 7.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , in the LA terminal 3, a terminal connection portion 31 connected to the male terminal 6 and a wire connection portion 32 connected to the wire 4 are continuously arranged in the left-right direction. The terminal connection portion 31 is provided in a plate shape and is provided with a bolt through hole 33 through which a bolt 9 penetrating in the front-rear direction passes. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the LA terminal 3 is fastened to the male terminal 6 of the connector 2 by means of a bolt so that the lead-out direction of the two electric wires 4 is on the left side.

[0074] Next, a more detailed structure of the housing 7 will be described. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, at the rear end portion 75, the lower side of the first wall portion 76 is arranged to protrude further rearward than the upper side of the first wall portion 76. In addition, the second wall portion 771 erected downward from the first wall portion 76 is arranged behind the first wall portion 772 erected upward from the first wall portion 76.

[0075] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second wall portion 771 is erected upward and downward from the first wall portion 76 and covers the LA terminal 3 on the lower side. The second wall portion 771 is set to be erected from the left end of the first wall portion 76, and is set to cover a position closer to the electric wire 4 side than the portion of the LA terminal 3 on the lower side that overlaps the bolt 9. Thus, the second wall portion 771 does not interfere with the bolt tightening operation. In addition, the lower end of the second wall portion 771 is not connected to the third wall portion 781, and the second wall portion 771 is set to be separated from the third wall portion 781.

[0076] The second wall portion 772 is erected upward from the first wall portion 76 and covers the upper LA terminal 3. The upper end of the second wall portion 772 is connected to the left end of the third wall portion 782. The second wall portion 772 is also arranged to cover a portion closer to the wire 4 than the portion of the upper LA terminal 3 that overlaps the bolt 9. Therefore, the second wall portion 772 does not interfere with the bolt tightening operation. Figure 8 As shown, the first wall portion 76 has a notch 761 at its left end. The notch 761 is provided between the lower side of the first wall portion 76 and the second wall portion 771 at the rear end portion 75.

[0077] Then, if Figure 3As shown, the process of connecting the connector 2 arranged on the upper side and another product 100 arranged on the lower side through the wire 4 will be described. Figure 3 As shown, the LA terminal 3 is connected to both ends of the electric wire 4. The LA terminal 3 connected to one end of the electric wire 4 is fastened to the male terminal 6 of the connector 2 by a bolt, and the LA terminal 3 connected to the other end of the electric wire 4 is fixed to another product 100 by a bolt. The electric wire 4 connected to the male terminal 6 on the lower side is bent more than the electric wire 4 connected to the male terminal 6 on the upper side.

[0078] First, in a state where the electric wire 4 faces the left side, the LA terminal 3 is overlapped with the male terminal 6 on the lower side of the connector 2 from between the second wall portion 771 and the third wall portion 781. Next, the LA terminal 3 connected to the other end of the electric wire 4 is bent to the right side, overlapped on the side surface of the other product 100 perpendicular to the up-down direction, and fastened with a bolt. The LA terminal 3 on the other product 100 side is fastened to the front side of the LA terminal 3 on the connector 2 side. Therefore, due to the force of the electric wire 4 tending to extend in a straight line, the LA terminal 3 on the connector 2 side is guided upward and backward, but is held by the first wall portion 76 and the second wall portion 771, and the LA terminal 3 can be temporarily fixed to the connector 2.

[0079] In a state where the electric wire faces the left side, the LA terminal 3 is passed through the rear end portion 75 side of the second wall portion 772 and overlapped with the male terminal 6 on the upper side of the connector 2. Next, the LA terminal 3 connected to the other end of the electric wire 4 is bent to the right side, overlapped on the side surface of the other product 100, and fastened with a bolt. The LA terminal 3 on the other product 100 side is fastened to the front side of the LA terminal 3 on the connector 2 side by a bolt. Therefore, due to the force of the electric wire 4 tending to extend in a straight line, the LA terminal 3 on the connector 2 side is guided upward and backward, but is pressed by the third wall portion 782 and the second wall portion 772, and the LA terminal 3 can be temporarily fixed to the connector 2. Therefore, after the LA terminal 3 is fastened to the other product 100 by a bolt, without having to search for the electric wire 4 to be connected to the male terminal 6 on the upper and lower sides of the two electric wires 4, it is only necessary to fasten the temporarily fixed LA terminal 3 by a bolt, so that the workability of fastening can be improved.

[0080] According to the above embodiment, the housing 7 includes a pair of second wall portions 771, 772, which are respectively erected in the up-down direction from the first wall portion 76 and respectively cover the adjacent LA terminals 3. As a result, even when the electric wire 4 is bent and the LA terminal 3 moves in a direction away from the rear end portion 75 (backward), the LA terminal 3 can be pressed by the second wall portions 771, 772 and temporarily fixed to the housing 7, and the operability of bolt tightening of the male terminal 6 and the LA terminal 3 can be improved. In addition, the second wall portions 771, 772 serve as partition walls between adjacent LA terminals 3, 3, and the insulation distance can be increased.

[0081] According to the above embodiment, the lower end of the second wall portion 771 is set to be separated from the third wall portion 781. Thus, the wire 4 can be arranged on the male terminal 6 from between the end of the second wall portion 771 and the third wall portion 781 without passing through the rear end portion 75 side of the second wall portion 771, improving the operability.

[0082] According to the above embodiment, the upper end of the second wall portion 772 is connected to the third wall portion 782. Thereby, the LA terminal 3 connected to the electric wire 4 can be further prevented from falling off from the temporary fixation.

[0083] According to the above embodiment, the first wall portion 76 is provided with the notch 761 at the end portion in the lead-out direction of the electric wire 4. Figure 4 As shown, the electric wire 4 can be inserted into the notch 761, and the bending radius of the electric wire 4 can be increased.

[0084] According to the above embodiment, at the rear end portion 75, the lower side of the first wall portion 76 is arranged to protrude further rearward than the upper side of the first wall portion 76, and the recess 761 is provided between the lower side of the first wall portion and the second wall portion 771 at the rear end portion 75. Therefore, since the positions of the adjacent LA terminals 3 in the front-rear direction are different, even when the LA terminal 3 on the lower side is inserted into the recess 761, the insulation of the adjacent LA terminal 3 can be ensured.

[0085] According to the above embodiment, the second wall portion 771 stands upright from both sides in the up-down direction of the first wall portion 76. Thus, the LA terminal 3 inserted into the notch 761 can be prevented from falling out from the temporary fixation.

[0086] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be appropriately modified, improved, etc. Furthermore, the materials, shapes, sizes, numbers, arrangement positions, etc. of the components in the above-described embodiments are freely selectable and not limited as long as the present invention can be achieved.

[0087] According to the above embodiment, the end of the second wall portion 771 is disposed away from the third wall portion 781 , but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0088] According to the above embodiment, the second wall portion 772 is connected to the third wall portion 782 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. The second wall portion 772 may be provided to be separated from the third wall portion 782 .

[0089] It is not essential to provide the notch 761 in the first wall portion 76 , and the notch 761 may be omitted.

[0090] According to the above embodiment, at the rear end portion 75 , the lower side of the first wall portion 76 protrudes further rearward than the upper side of the first wall portion 76 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. The rear end portion 75 may be flat.
