[0009] [Description of Embodiments of the Present Invention] First, embodiments of the present invention will be listed and described. [1] The covered connector of the present invention includes: a terminal part connected to the terminal portion of a wire; a housing that houses the terminal part; and a cover that is assembled to the housing. The cover has a wire housing portion disposed behind the housing. The wire housing portion presses the wire drawn rearward from the housing between the housing and holds the wire in a state of being bent laterally. At least one of the housing and the cover has a play elimination portion that fills the gap between the housing and the cover. According to such a structure, the shaking of the wire is suppressed by the wire housing portion, and the shaking between the housing and the cover is suppressed by the play elimination portion. Therefore, the vibration caused by the shaking of the wire is less likely to be transmitted to the terminal part. [2] In the covered connector described in [1] above, it may be that the cover has a cover portion that covers the outer peripheral surface of the housing, and the play elimination portion has a first play elimination portion that fills the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the housing and the inner peripheral surface of the cover portion. According to such a structure, the shaking in the width direction or the height direction between the housing and the cover can be suppressed. [3] In the covered connector described in [1] or [2] above, it may be that the cover has a connecting portion that connects the cover portion and the wire housing portion. The connecting portion has a cover opposing portion that faces the rear surface of the housing, and the play elimination portion has a second play elimination portion that fills the gap between the rear surface of the housing and the cover opposing portion. According to such a structure, the shaking in the front-rear direction between the housing and the cover can be suppressed. [4]In the covered connector described in [3] above, it is also possible that when the side where the wire is bent is the upper side, the second anti-vibration portion is provided at least on the lower side than the rear end opening of the cavity formed in the housing. According to such a structure, since the second anti-vibration portion is provided at a place where it is likely to vibrate due to the shaking of the wire, vibration can be effectively prevented. [5]In any one of the covered connectors described in [1] to [4] above, it is also possible that the wires are arranged in a row, and the cover has a partition wall that separates the adjacent wires in the arrangement direction. According to such a structure, the wires arranged in a row can be separated inside the cover, and the wires can be held in a state where they are bent individually.

[0010] [Details of Embodiments of the Present Invention] Hereinafter, a specific example of the covered connector of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The connecting portion 43 connects the cover portion 41 and the wire storage portion 42.

[0024] As Figure 7 shown, the inner peripheral surface of the cover portion 41 is formed in a shape along the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 22. The inner peripheral surface of the cover portion 41 has a lower surface portion 45, left and right side surface portions 46, an upper surface portion 47, and a curved surface portion 48. The lower surface portion 45 is formed at the center in the left-right direction of the cover portion 41. The lower surface portion 45 is parallel to the XY plane. The left and right side surface portions 46 are formed on both sides in the left-right direction of the cover portion 41. The left and right side surface portions 46 are parallel to the XZ plane. The upper surface portion 47 is formed at a position recessed upward by one level at the center in the left-right direction of the cover portion 41. The upper surface portion 47 is parallel to the XY plane. Steps 47A are formed at the left and right ends of the upper surface portion 47. The curved surface portion 48 is formed at the upper, lower, left, and right corners of the inner peripheral surface of the cover portion 41. When viewed from the front side, each curved surface portion 48 is in an arc shape. The upper curved surface portion 48 extends downward from the lower end of the step 47A. The lower curved surface portion 48 extends upward from the left and right ends of the lower surface portion 45.

[0025] As Figure 6 shown, the cover portion 41 has a lower portion 51 and an upper portion 52. The lower portion 51 and the upper portion 52 are separated at the position of the left and right side surface portions 46. The lower portion 51 and the upper portion 52 are connected by a hinge 53. The hinge 53 connects the upper portion 52 so as to be openable and closable with respect to the lower portion 51. The lower portion 51 is open so that the housing 20 can be provided from above.

[0026] The lower portion 51 and the upper portion 52 are held in a closed state by a locking portion. The locking portion has a locking projection 54 and a locking piece 55 (refer to Figure 2 ). The locking projection 54 is provided on the lower portion 51, and the locking piece 55 is provided on the upper portion 52. The locking projection 54 and the locking piece 55 are engaged with each other in the state where the lower portion 51 and the upper portion 52 are closed.

[0027] As Figure 6As shown, the wire storage portion 42 is provided behind the cover portion 41. The wire storage portion 42 has a main body portion 56 and a wire pressing portion 57. The main body portion 56 has a bottom wall portion 58, left and right side wall portions 59, and a rear wall portion 61. The bottom wall portion 58 is located slightly below the rear end opening 23A of the cavity 23 (refer to Figure 5 ). The left and right side wall portions 59 stand up upward from the left and right ends of the bottom wall portion 58. The rear wall portion 61 stands up upward from the rear end of the bottom wall portion 58.

[0028] The wire pressing portion 57 is assembled on the upper surface of the main body portion 56. The wire pressing portion 57 forms a cover that closes the upper part of the main body portion 56. The wire pressing portion 57 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape that is long in the left-right direction. The wire pressing portion 57 covers the wire 14 in a state of being folded back forward (refer to Figure 5 ).

[0029] As Figure 5 shown, the wire pressing portion 57 holds the wire 14 led out rearward from the housing 20 in a state of being bent upward.

As Figure 8As shown, the second partition wall 65 divides the wire outlet 12. The second bent portions 17 of the wires 14 are separated one by one by the second partition wall 65.

[0033] As Figure 5 shown, the wire outlet 12 is formed between the wire pressing portion 57 and the fitting portion 22. The wire outlet 12 opens upward. As Figure 8 shown, the wire outlet 12 extends longitudinally in the left - right direction.

[0034] As Figure 6 shown, the connecting portion 43 connects the cover portion 41 and the wire storage portion 42. The connecting portion 43 houses the rear portion of the fitting portion 22 and is box - shaped. The connecting portion 43 has a lower surface portion 66, left and right surface portions 67, and a rear surface portion 68.

[0035] The lower surface portion 66 and the left and right surface portions 67 are connected to the cover portion 41. The vertical dimension of the left and right surface portions 67 is larger than the vertical dimension of the lower portion 51 of the cover portion 41. The upper ends of the left and right surface portions 67 are at the same height as the upper end of the main body portion 56 of the wire storage portion 42.

[0036] As Figure 2 shown, a stepped surface 49 is formed between the left and right surface portions 67 of the connecting portion 43 and the left and right side surface portions 46 of the cover portion 41. The stepped surface 49 is a plane parallel to the YZ plane. The stepped surface 49 extends in the vertical direction.

[0037] As Figure 6 shown, the rear surface portion 68 has a plate surface parallel to the YZ plane. When viewed from the front side, the rear surface portion 68 forms a U - shaped along the leading edge of the main body portion 56 of the wire storage portion 42. The rear surface portion 68 corresponds to the cover - opposing portion opposing the rear surface 22A of the fitting portion 22. The upper end of the rear surface portion 68 is at the same height as the upper end of the main body portion 56 of the wire storage portion 42. The lower end of the rear surface portion 68 is at the same height as the lower surface portion 45 of the cover portion 41.

[0038] As Figure 7 shown, the first anti - wobbling portion 44A is provided on the cover portion 41. The first anti - wobbling portion 44A is provided on the upper, lower, left, and right of the inner peripheral surface of the cover portion 41. The first anti - wobbling portion 44A protrudes inward from the inner peripheral surface of the cover portion 41.

[0039] A pair of left and right first anti - wobbling portions 44A are provided on the lower surface portion 45 of the cover portion 41. As Figure 6 shown, the first anti - wobbling portions 44A on the lower surface portion 45 extend from the front end of the cover portion 41 to the rear end of the connecting portion 43 respectively. The first anti - wobbling portions 44A on the lower surface portion 45 extend linearly along the boundary with the curved surface portion 48.

[0040] The first shake elimination part 44A is provided with two in the front and rear on each of the left and right side faces 46 (refer to Figure 2 ). Among the left and right side faces 46, the shapes and sizes of the first shake elimination parts 44A are equal.

[0041] As Figure 7 shown, one first shake elimination part 44A is provided on each of the upper curved faces 48. The first shake elimination parts 44A on the upper curved faces 48 are arranged at positions close to the upper surface part 47. As Figure 6 shown, the first shake elimination parts 44A on the upper curved faces 48 extend linearly from the front end of the cover part 41 to the middle position in the front-rear direction of the cover part 41.

[0042] As Figure 6 shown, the second shake elimination part 44B is provided on the rear surface part 68 of the connecting part 43. A pair of the second shake elimination parts 44B are provided on the left and right. The second shake elimination part 44B extends linearly from near the upper end of the rear surface part 68 to the lower end. The lower end of the second shake elimination part 44B is located below the bottom wall part 58 of the wire storage part 42. As Figure 2 shown, the second shake elimination part 44B protrudes forward from the front surface of the rear surface part 68.

[0043] In a state where the cover 40 is assembled to the housing 20, as Figure 2 shown, the protruding part 26 of the housing 20 is housed in the connecting part 43. The front surface 26A of the protruding part 26 faces the step surface 49 of the cover 40 in the front-rear direction. Thus, the housing 20 is restricted from detaching forward from the cover 40. The rear surface 22A of the fitting part 22 faces the rear surface part 68 of the connecting part 43 in the front-rear direction. The second shake elimination part 44B is in a state of contacting the rear surface 22A of the fitting part 22, filling the gap in the front-rear direction between the rear surface 22A and the rear surface part 68. Thus, the front-rear direction shake between the housing 20 and the cover 40 can be suppressed.

[0044] The fitting part 22 of the housing 20 is covered by the cover part 41 (refer to Figure 7 ). The first shake elimination part 44A is in a state of contacting the outer peripheral surface of the fitting part 22, filling the gap in the up-down direction and the left-right direction between the cover part 41 and the fitting part 22. Thus, the up-down direction and left-right direction shake between the housing 20 and the cover 40 can be suppressed.

[0045] As Figure 5 shown, each wire 14 is held in a bent state inside the wire storage part 42 and is in a state of being led out upward from the wire lead-out port 12. Thus, the shaking of the wire 14 can be suppressed.

[0046] Next, the functions and effects of the embodiments configured as described above will be described. The connector 10 includes a terminal part 11, a housing 20, and a cover 40. The terminal part 11 is connected to the terminal part of the electric wire 14. The housing 20 houses the terminal part 11. The cover 40 is assembled to the housing 20. The cover 40 has a wire housing part 42. The wire housing part 42 is disposed behind the housing 20. The wire housing part 42 presses the electric wire 14 led out rearward from the housing 20 between the wire housing part 42 and the housing 20 and holds the electric wire 14 in a state of being bent upward. The cover 40 has a first shaking elimination part 44A and a second shaking elimination part 44B that fill the gap between the housing 20 and the cover 40. According to this structure, the shaking of the electric wire 14 is suppressed by the wire housing part 42, and the shaking between the housing 20 and the cover 40 is suppressed by the first shaking elimination part 44A and the second shaking elimination part 44B. Therefore, the vibration caused by the shaking of the electric wire 14 is less likely to be transmitted to the terminal part 11.

[0047] The cover 40 has a cover part 41 that covers the outer peripheral surface of the housing 20. The first shaking elimination part 44A fills the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the housing 20 and the inner peripheral surface of the cover part 41. According to this structure, the left-right direction or the up-down direction shaking between the housing 20 and the cover 40 can be suppressed.

[0048] The cover 40 has a connecting part 43 that connects the cover part 41 and the wire housing part 42. The connecting part 43 has a rear surface part 68 that faces the rear surface 22A of the fitting part 22. The second shaking elimination part 44B fills the gap between the rear surface 22A of the fitting part 22 and the rear surface part 68. According to this structure, the front-rear direction shaking between the housing 20 and the cover 40 can be suppressed.

[0049] The second shaking elimination part 44B extends to a lower side than the rear end opening 23A of the cavity 23 formed in the housing 20. According to this structure, since the second shaking elimination part 44B is provided at a place where it is likely to shake due to the shaking of the electric wire 14, the shaking can be effectively prevented.

[0050] The electric wires 14 are arranged in a row. The cover 40 has a first partition wall 64 and a second partition wall 65 that separate the adjacent electric wires 14 in the arrangement direction. According to this structure, the electric wires 14 arranged in a row can be separated within the cover 40, and the electric wires 14 can be held in a state where the electric wires 14 are bent individually.

[0051] [Other Embodiments of the Present Invention] It should be considered that the embodiments disclosed this time are illustrative rather than restrictive in all aspects.

[0052] In the case of the above-described embodiment, the cavities 23 arranged in a row in the left-right direction are provided in only one layer, but as another embodiment, the cavities arranged in a row in the left-right direction may be provided in two or more layers in the up-down direction.

[0053] In the case of the above-described embodiment, the first shake elimination portion 44A and the second shake elimination portion 44B are provided on the cover 40. However, as another embodiment, the shake elimination portion may be provided on the housing, or may be provided on both the cover and the housing.

[0054] In the case of the above-described embodiment, the connector 10 includes the first shake elimination portion 44A and the second shake elimination portion 44B. However, as another embodiment, the connector may include only either the first shake elimination portion or the second shake elimination portion.

[0055] In the case of the above-described embodiment, the electric wire 14 is led out above the connector 10. However, as another embodiment, the electric wire may be led out in any direction among the left side, the right side, and the lower side of the connector.

[0056] In the case of the above-described embodiment, the second shake elimination portion 44B is formed in a portion of the rear surface portion 68 that faces the rear surface side portion 28A.
