[0043] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Furthermore, the constituent elements in the following embodiments include elements that can and are easily substituted by those skilled in the art, or substantially the same elements. In addition, in this specification, ordinal numbers are used only to distinguish elements, components, parts, positions, directions, etc., and do not indicate order or priority.

[0044] [Example]

[0045] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the wire harness WH of connector 1 according to the application embodiment. Figure 1 The connector 1 shown in this embodiment has, for example, a connector portion 17, which engages with the mating portion 101 of the counterpart connector 100. Here, the connector 1 is a male connector in which the ends of multiple terminal wires W are introduced and the connector portion 17 serves as the connection portion, while the counterpart connector 100 is a female connector in which the mating portion 101 serves as the connection portion. The connector 1 is assembled, for example, into a wiring harness WH installed in a vehicle such as an automobile. The wiring harness WH, for example, is a bundled assembly of wiring materials used for power supply and signal communication for connecting various devices mounted in the vehicle, and the wiring materials are connected to each device using the connector portion 17, etc. The wiring harness WH includes, for example, multiple terminal wires W as wiring materials, connectors 1 provided at the ends of the multiple terminal wires W, and a counterpart connector 100 that is electrically and mechanically connected to the connector 1. In addition, the wiring harness WH may also be configured to include various components such as fasteners, protectors, and grommets.

[0046] Furthermore, in the following description, the first direction among the intersecting first, second, and third directions will be referred to as "first intersecting direction X", the second direction as "second intersecting direction Y", and the third direction as "assembly direction Z". Here, the first intersecting direction X, the second intersecting direction Y, and the assembly direction Z are approximately orthogonal to each other. The first intersecting direction X typically corresponds to the front-back direction of connector 1, the axial direction of the two paired terminal wires W (the first terminal wire), etc. The second intersecting direction Y typically corresponds to the width direction of connector 1, the axial direction of the other two paired terminal wires W (the second terminal wire), etc. The assembly direction Z typically corresponds to the height direction (vertical direction) of connector 1, the mating direction (plugging and unplugging direction) of connector 1 and the mating space 13 of the housing 10 (see below). Figure 2 The opening direction of the housing 10 and the assembly direction (stack direction) of the cover 20, etc. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the directions used in the following description are described as the directions in which the wiring harness WH is assembled in the vehicle.

[0047] Figure 2 This is an exploded perspective view of connector 1. Figure 3 This is an exploded perspective view of connector 1, showing its relationship with... Figure 2 Images viewed from different angles. For example... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, connector 1 includes, for example, a housing 10, a cover 20, an upper housing 30, a lower housing 40, a fuse 50, a gasket 60, a wire gasket 70, a fastening member 80, and an insert bolt 90 described later. The housing 10 has a receiving space 13 with an opening at one end in the assembly direction Z. The receiving space 13 is a space that accommodates the ends of wires W1 among a plurality of terminald wires W, the fuse 50, etc. In this embodiment, in the housing 10, a pair of two terminald wires W (the first terminald wire) are introduced into the receiving space 13 along the first crossing direction X, and another pair of two terminald wires W (the second terminald wire) are introduced into the receiving space 13 along the second crossing direction Y.

[0048] A terminald wire W, for example, includes a wire W1, a terminal W2 located at the end of the wire W1, and an insulating sheath W3 located on the outer periphery of the wire W1. The wire W1 is configured to include, for example, a conductive, linear conductor portion and an insulating sheath covering the outer side of the conductor portion. The conductor portion may be a core wire formed by bundling multiple conductive metal wires, or a stranded core wire formed by twisting the multiple metal wires together. The insulating sheath is a wire sheath covering the outer periphery of the conductor portion. The terminal W2 may be, for example, a circular terminal, which is joined to the core wire exposed at the end of the wire W1 by crimping, laser welding, or the like. The sheath W3 is, for example, an insulating sheath covering the outer periphery of the wire W1, covering the outer periphery of the portion of the wire W1 located outside the receiving space 13.

[0049] In addition, in this embodiment, a shielding material (not shown) is provided between the wire W1 and the sheath W3. The shielding material suppresses noise from entering the core wire of the wire W1. For example, it can be a braided metal wire conductor woven into a mesh-like cylindrical structure, or it can be a cylindrical metal foil (so-called metal foil). The shielding material is electrically connected, for example, to a shielding terminal (not shown). The shielding terminal is made of metal and is a cylindrical component. A conductor pad 70 is provided inside the shielding terminal. This conductor pad 70 provides waterproofing between the shielding terminal and the outer peripheral surface of the sheath W3 of each terminalized wire W and retains the shielding terminal relative to each terminalized wire W.

[0050] The housing 10 is formed, for example, from an insulating resin material. The housing 10 is configured to include, for example, a bottom wall 11, a peripheral wall 12, a wire insertion portion 14, a mounting portion 15, a locking portion 16, and a connector portion 17. The bottom wall 11 and the peripheral wall 12 are structures used to divide the aforementioned receiving space portion 13. The receiving space portion 13 is a space for accommodating the ends of multiple wires W1, fuses 50, etc., and opens towards one end in the assembly direction Z. In this embodiment, the bottom wall 11, the peripheral wall 12, the wire insertion portion 14, the mounting portion 15, and the locking portion 16 constitute the housing body of the housing 10. Connector portion 17 (see reference) Figure 3 The connector portion 17 is located on the outer surface of the bottom wall 11 in the housing body, opposite to the receiving space portion 13, and protrudes from this outer surface toward the other end in the assembly direction Z. The connector portion 17 is, for example, formed as a rectangular cylinder, and has a plurality of connector terminals 2 disposed therein. The connector terminals 2 are, for example, connected to the other connector 100 (see reference 100). Figure 1 The female terminal 102 is electrically connected to the male terminal and is held inside the connector section 17.

[0051] The wire insertion portion 14 is provided, for example, on the outer surface of the peripheral wall 12 in the housing body, on the side opposite to the receiving space portion 13. In this embodiment, two wire insertion portions 14 are arranged side by side along the second intersecting direction Y at one end of the peripheral wall 12 in the first intersecting direction X, and two wire insertion portions 14 are arranged side by side along the first intersecting direction X at one end of the second intersecting direction Y. Each wire insertion portion 14 is formed in a generally cylindrical shape and communicates with the receiving space portion 13. That is, an opening is provided in the peripheral wall 12 to communicate the internal space of each wire insertion portion 14 with the receiving space portion 13. Each wire W with a terminal is inserted into each wire insertion portion 14, and the end of each wire W1 is introduced into the receiving space portion 13.

[0052] Mounting portions 15 are provided, for example, on the outer surface of the peripheral wall 12 in the housing body on the side opposite to the receiving space portion 13, and are offset relative to the wire insertion portion 14, protruding along the first intersecting direction X. In this embodiment, two mounting portions 15 are provided at both ends of the peripheral wall 12 in the first intersecting direction X. Each mounting portion 15 is provided with a through hole for fastening members such as bolts to be inserted along the assembly direction Z. The housing 10 is fixed relative to the vehicle, for example, by fastening each mounting portion 15 together with the upper housing 30 to the mounting portion on the vehicle side using fastening members.

[0053] The locking portion 16 is provided, for example, on the outer surface of the peripheral wall 12 in the housing body on the side opposite to the receiving space portion 13, and is offset relative to the wire insertion portion 14 and the mounting portion 15, and is formed in a claw shape on this outer surface. In this embodiment, multiple locking portions 16 can be provided on the peripheral wall 12 at intervals. Each locking portion 16 has a locking surface that faces the locked portion 23 provided on the cover 20 along the assembly direction Z. The housing 10 is integrated (fixed) with the cover 20, for example, by locking the locked portion 16 and the locked portion 23 along the assembly direction Z.

[0054] The cover 20 is, for example, formed of an insulating resin material. The cover 20 is configured, for example, to include a cover body 21 and ribs 22 (see reference). Figure 3 The cover body 21 is the portion of the cover 20 that covers the receiving space 13 from one end side in the assembly direction Z. Rib 22 protrudes from the cover body 21 toward the other end side (inside the receiving space 13) in the assembly direction Z, suppressing interference between the wire W1 and the fuse 50. The locking portion 23 is provided on the outer periphery of the cover body 21 and locks with the locking portion 16 on the housing 10 side along the assembly direction Z. The cover body 21 is formed, for example, as a generally flat plate along the outer shape of the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 10. In this embodiment, a gasket 60 is provided between the cover 20 and one end face of the peripheral wall 12 in the assembly direction Z, along the opening edge of the receiving space 13.

[0055] The gasket 60 prevents moisture and other foreign matter from entering the receiving space 13 through the gap between the housing 10 and the cover 20. The gasket 60 is formed of a component that can elastically deform, such as rubber or resin. The gasket 60 is formed, for example, in a ring shape along the opening edge of the receiving space 13. The gasket 60 is installed between the cover 20 and the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 10 in a compressed state, thereby stopping water from entering between the cover 20 and the peripheral wall 12 of the housing 10.

[0056] The upper housing 30 is formed, for example, from a conductive metallic material and is generally shell-shaped. Specifically, the upper housing 30 is configured to include a top plate 31 and a peripheral wall 32 protruding from the periphery of the top plate 31 toward the other end in the assembly direction Z. The peripheral wall 32 is partially missing around the top plate 31. In addition, a flange-shaped retaining plate 33 is provided on the peripheral wall 32 of the upper housing 30 corresponding to the wire insertion portion 14 of the housing 10. The upper housing 30 thus formed is mounted on the housing 10 as a cover 20. The upper housing 30 is fastened to the lower housing 40, for example, by fastening members 80 such as bolts inserted into a portion of the plurality of insertion holes 34 provided in the top plate 31, and is fastened to the housing 10 by fastening members such as bolts inserted into the remaining portion of the plurality of insertion holes 34.

[0057] The lower housing 40 is formed, for example, from a conductive metallic material in a generally shell-like shape. Specifically, the lower housing 40 is formed, for example, as a generally semi-circular cylindrical shape along the conductor pads 70 of a pair of terminal wires W. The lower housing 40, together with the retaining plate 33 of the upper housing 30, holds the conductor pads 70 and shielding terminals (not shown). In this embodiment, a plurality of lower housings 40 are mounted on the housing 10 corresponding to a plurality of pairs of terminal wires W.

[0058] Figure 4 This is a top view of connector 1. (As shown) Figure 4 As shown, the fuse 50 is, for example, a circuit protection component, disposed between the connector terminal 2 and the terminald wire W, and causes the fusible portion to melt when an overcurrent flows between the connector terminal 2 and the terminald wire W. In this embodiment, a plurality of fuses 50 are disposed in the receiving space 13, one of which is located between a connector terminal 2 and one of a pair of terminald wires W (the first terminald wire) introduced into the receiving space 13 along a first crossing direction X. Another fuse 50 is located between a connector terminal 2 and one of a pair of terminald wires W (the second terminald wire) introduced into the receiving space 13 along a second crossing direction Y.

[0059] Furthermore, multiple fuses 50 and multiple wires W1 with terminals are housed within the housing space 13. In this embodiment, one fuse 50 is configured so as not to overlap with the wire W1 along the assembly direction Z, while another fuse 50 is configured to overlap with the wire W1 along the assembly direction Z. Specifically, the other fuse 50 is positioned at an end of the wire W1 that crosses the wire W1, closer to the end of the wire W1 along the assembly direction Z. In this embodiment, the wire W1 crossing the fuse 50 is a wire W1 with terminals that is electrically connected to another connector terminal 2. Thus, in this embodiment, the wires W1 are densely arranged within the housing space 13, crossing the fuses 50 in the energized (conductive) state.

[0060] In this embodiment, multiple embedded bolts 90 are integrally provided on the housing 10, protruding along the assembly direction Z within the receiving space 13. Furthermore, the fuse 50, a pair of connector terminals 2, and terminals W2 of multiple wires W with terminals are mounted on the embedded bolts 90 of the housing 10 and secured by nuts 91. The multiple terminals W2 are circular terminals, etc., and each is provided with a second mounting hole W2a for the embedded bolts 90 to pass through along the assembly direction Z. However, the terminals W2 are not limited to circular terminals and may be terminals of other shapes. In this embodiment, the embedded bolts 90 are an example of bolts.

[0061] Figure 5 This is a top view of the area near the insert bolt 90 of connector 1 and connector terminal 2. Figure 6 This is a top view of the connector 1 near the insert bolt 90 and connector terminal 2, and the terminal W2 of the wire W with terminal is relative to... Figure 5 A diagram of the rotated state. Figure 7 This is a perspective view of connector terminal 2 of connector 1. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 An enlarged view of connector terminal 2. (See attached image.) Figures 5-8 As shown, connector terminal 2 has, for example, an electrical connection portion 2a and a bolt mounting portion 2b. Furthermore, Figures 5-8 The connector terminal 2 shown is another connector terminal 2, which differs from one (fuse 50 side) connector terminal 2 in that it has a rotation prevention piece 2d provided in the bolt mounting part 2b, but the other structures are roughly the same.

[0062] Electrical connection portion 2a is the portion that is electrically connected to the counterpart terminal 102 of the counterpart connector 100. Electrical connection portion 2a extends in a strip-like shape along the assembly direction Z and is held inside the aforementioned connector portion 17. Bolt mounting portion 2b is the portion for mounting a bolt 90. Bolt mounting portion 2b is provided at one end of electrical connection portion 2a in the assembly direction Z and extends from that end in a flange-like shape along the second intersecting direction Y. A first mounting hole 2c is provided in bolt mounting portion 2b for the bolt 90 to pass through along the assembly direction Z.

[0063] The rotation prevention piece 2d is a portion that suppresses the rotation of the terminal W2 relative to the embedded bolt 90 about a rotation center Ax extending along the assembly direction Z. Specifically, the rotation prevention piece 2d suppresses the rotation of the terminal W2 relative to the embedded bolt 90 about the rotation center Ax due to the rotational torque generated when the embedded bolt 90 and nut 91 are tightened by contacting the terminal W2. In this embodiment, a cutout portion 2e for forming the rotation prevention piece 2d is provided in the bolt mounting portion 2b. Furthermore, the rotation prevention piece 2d is formed by cutting and erecting it from the edge of the cutout portion 2e. The rotation prevention piece 2d is inclined, for example, in a manner that it moves away from the end portion of the bolt mounting portion 2b toward the end portion relative to the end portion of the bolt mounting portion 2b in the assembly direction Z, from the base end portion side connected to the bolt mounting portion 2b toward the end portion side.

[0064] Furthermore, the rotation prevention piece 2d functions, for example, as an electrical contact with terminal W2. Specifically, the rotation prevention piece 2d increases the electrical connection portion of connector terminal 2 with terminal W2 by abutting against terminal W2, thereby ensuring conductivity. The rotation prevention piece 2d is provided, for example, in a state close to (adjacent to) the side of terminal W2, and abuts against terminal W2 when terminal W2 rotates about the rotation center Ax with the tightening of the embedded bolt 90 and nut 91. In addition, in this embodiment, one rotation prevention piece 2d is provided in the bolt mounting portion 2b, but it is not limited to this example; for example, multiple rotation prevention pieces 2d may be provided.

[0065] Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view near the insert bolt 90 of connector 1. (See image.) Figure 9 As shown, the embedded bolt 90 has, for example, a head 90a and a shaft portion 90b. The head 90a is a portion embedded in the bottom wall 11 (bottom 13a of the receiving space portion 13) of the housing 10 during the insert molding (integral molding) of the housing 10 and the embedded bolt 90. The head 90a engages with a portion of the bottom wall 11 along the assembly direction Z, and its movement toward one end side in the assembly direction Z is restricted. The shaft portion 90b is a portion that extends from the head 90a toward one end side in the assembly direction Z and protrudes into the receiving space portion 13. An external thread portion is provided in the shaft portion 90b that engages with the internal thread portion of the nut 91.

[0066] In the connector 1 of this embodiment with the above-described structure, connector terminals 2 and W2 are mounted on the insert bolts 90 of the housing 10. Specifically, the shaft portion 90b of the insert bolt 90 is inserted into the first mounting hole 2c of connector terminal 2 and the second mounting hole W2a of terminal W2, and in this state, the external thread portion of the shaft portion 90b and the internal thread portion of the nut 91 are tightened. At this time, in this embodiment, the rotation of terminal W2 relative to the insert bolt 90 is suppressed by the contact between the rotation prevention piece 2d and terminal W2. In addition, in the insert bolt 90 corresponding to another connector terminal 2 (see reference...) Figure 9 The second mounting hole W2a, which has multiple terminals W2, is fastened together with another connector terminal 2.

[0067] As described above, in the connector 1 and wire harness WH of this embodiment, the embedded bolt 90 (bolt) is integrally provided on the housing 10, protruding along the assembly direction Z within the receiving space 13. The embedded bolt 90 of the housing 10 is inserted into the first mounting hole 2c of the connector terminal 2 and the second mounting hole W2a of the terminal W2 along the assembly direction Z, and is fastened by the nut 91. According to this structure, the connector 1 and wire harness WH can, for example, easily align the first mounting hole 2c of the connector terminal 2 and the second mounting hole W2a of the terminal W2 with respect to the embedded bolt 90. As a result, the connector 1 and wire harness WH can improve the workability of the assembly operation.

[0068] Furthermore, in the connector 1 and wire harness WH of this embodiment, a plurality of wires W with terminals are provided in the receiving space 13, and the connector terminal 2 is fastened to the terminals W2 of the plurality of wires W with terminals via embedded bolts 90 and nuts 91. According to this structure, even in a structure in which the connector 1 and wire harness WH are fastened (commonly fastened) to the plurality of terminals W2 using embedded bolts 90 and nuts 91, the workability of the assembly operation can be improved.

[0069] Furthermore, in the connector 1 and wire harness WH of this embodiment, the connector terminal 2 has a rotation prevention piece 2d. This rotation prevention piece 2d suppresses the rotation of the terminal W2 about a rotation center Ax along the assembly direction Z by abutting against the terminal W2, and the rotation prevention piece 2d functions as an electrical contact with the terminal W2. According to this structure, the connector 1 and wire harness WH can, for example, suppress the rotation of the terminal W2 about the rotation center Ax caused by the tightening of the embedded bolt 90 and nut 91 by means of the rotation prevention piece 2d, and can improve the conductivity between the connector terminal 2 and the terminal W2.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a pair of fuses 50 are provided within the receiving space 13, but this is not a limitation. For example, one, three, or more fuses 50 may be provided within the receiving space 13. Additionally, in this embodiment, the ends of four terminal wires W are introduced into the receiving space 13, but this is not a limitation. For example, the ends of two or six or more terminal wires W may be introduced into the receiving space 13.

[0071] The above examples illustrate embodiments of the present invention, but these embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The above embodiments can be implemented in various other ways, and various omissions, substitutions, combinations, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, the specifications of various structures, shapes, etc. (structure, type, direction, form, size, length, width, thickness, height, quantity, configuration, position, material, etc.) can be appropriately modified for implementation.
