[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0009】 The embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, components having the same or similar functions will be denoted by the same reference numerals. Duplication of these components may be omitted. Note that the components described below do not limit the scope of the embodiments. 【0010】 In this disclosure, terms are defined as follows: “Connection” may include electrical connections, not just mechanical ones. That is, “Connection” may include cases where two elements to be connected are directly connected, not just cases where two elements to be connected are connected with another element in between. “Accommodation” may include cases where only a part of a part is accommodated, not just cases where the rest of the part protrudes. “Facing” means that the virtual projections of two objects overlap when viewed from a particular direction. That is, “Facing” may include cases where two objects face each other with another member present between them, not just cases where two objects face each other. “Parallel,” “orthogonal,” or “same” may include cases where they are “approximately parallel,” “approximately orthogonal,” or “approximately the same,” respectively. 【0011】 In this disclosure, the +X direction, -X direction, +Y direction, -Y direction, +Z direction, and -Z direction are defined as follows: The +X direction is the direction from the pull-out portion 25 of the housing 20 (described later) toward the terminal housing portion 26 (see Figure 2). The -X direction is the direction opposite to the +X direction. Hereinafter, when the +X direction and the -X direction are not distinguished, they will simply be referred to as the "X direction". The +Y direction and the -Y direction are directions that intersect (e.g., are orthogonal to) the X direction. The +Y direction is the direction from the third side wall 23c of the housing body 21 (described later) toward the fourth side wall 23d (see Figure 2). The -Y direction is the direction opposite to the +Y direction. Hereinafter, when the +Y direction and the -Y direction are not distinguished, they will simply be referred to as the "Y direction". The +Z direction and the -Z direction are directions that intersect (e.g., are orthogonal to) the X direction and the Y direction. The +Z direction is the direction from the housing 20 (described later) toward the cover 40 (see Figure 3). The -Z direction is the opposite direction to the +Z direction. In the following, when the +Z and -Z directions are not distinguished, they will simply be referred to as the "Z direction". 【0012】 In the following, when the X and Y directions are not distinguished, they may be referred to as the "horizontal direction." Furthermore, in the following, this embodiment will be described using the case where the X direction is the "front-back direction," the Y direction is the "left-right direction," and the Z direction is the "up-down direction" as an example. Also, in the following, the +Z direction side will be referred to as the "upper side," and the -Z direction side as the "lower side." However, these expressions do not limit the direction of gravity of connector 1 (the installation orientation of connector 1). Note that the X direction is an example of the "first direction," the Y direction is an example of the "third direction," and the Z direction is an example of the "second direction." 【0013】 <1. Connector Configuration> Figure 1 is a perspective view of the connector 1 of this embodiment. Figure 2 is a plan view of the connector 1 of this embodiment. The connector 1 is a connecting component for electrically connecting a terminal portion 2 provided at the end of an electric wire 10 and a mating portion (not shown) of the mating part. The connector 1 is used in vehicles such as EVs (Electric Vehicles), HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), or PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles). As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the connector 1 according to this embodiment comprises an electric wire 10, a terminal portion 2, a housing 20 (first component), and a cover 40 (second component). The connector 1 of this embodiment has a structure that houses the electric wire 10 inside and suppresses the transmission of external forces transmitted to the electric wire 10. The structure of the connector 1 will be described in detail below. 【0014】 <2. Electric wire> As shown in Figure 2, multiple wires 10 are provided (two in the illustrated example). Each wire 10 is an insulated wire. Each wire 10 has a conductor core wire 11 and a resin coating 12 that covers the core wire 11 over substantially its entire length (see Figure 3). At the ends of each wire 10, the insulation is stripped, exposing the core wire 11. 【0015】 <3.Terminal part> The terminal portion 2 is provided at the end of the exposed core wire 11 of each electric wire 10. The terminal portion 2 is formed from a conductive material such as metal. For example, the terminal portion 2 is formed into a predetermined shape by press forming such as bending or cutting of a metal plate used as the base material. In the illustrated example, the terminal portion 2 is provided at the end of the electric wire 10 on the +X direction side. 【0016】 <4. Housing> The housing 20 is a component that houses the electric wire 10. The housing 20 comprises a housing body 21, a partition wall 24, a pull-out section 25, a first engaging section 27, and a first holding section 30. 【0017】 (Housing body) The housing body 21 is formed to extend in the X direction. The housing body 21 is open in the +Z direction. The housing body 21 has a bottom wall 22, a first side wall 23a, a second side wall 23b, a third side wall 23c, a fourth side wall 23d, and a mounting flange 23e. The bottom wall 22 extends in the horizontal direction. The bottom wall 22 is formed in a flat plate shape that is long in the X direction.

From each first extraction hole 22a, an electric wire 10 is drawn out in the -Z direction. At the +X direction end of the bottom wall 22, a second extraction hole 22b penetrating in the Z direction is formed. From the second extraction hole 22b, the terminals of each electric wire 10 are drawn out in the -Z direction. The first side wall 23a is provided at the -X direction edge of the bottom wall 22.

The mounting flange 23e is a member for attaching the housing 20 to the vehicle body. The mounting flange 23e is formed to protrude horizontally from the housing body 21. In the illustrated example, the mounting flange 23e is provided at the boundary between the first side wall 23a and the third side wall 23c, at the boundary between the first side wall 23a and the fourth side wall 23d, and at the boundary between the second side wall 23b and the fourth side wall 23d, respectively. 【0018】 Two electric wires 10 are accommodated in this housing body 21 so as to extend in the X direction. The two electric wires 10 are arranged in parallel in the Y direction. Each electric wire 10 is drawn out from the first lead-out hole 22a in the -Z direction. Also, the terminals of each electric wire 10 are drawn out from the second lead-out hole 22b in the -Z direction. Hereinafter, the direction in which the portion of the electric wire 10 extending in the X direction within the housing body 21 extends will be described as the extending direction of the electric wire 10. That is, the extending direction of the electric wire 10 shall mean the X direction. 【0019】 (Partition wall) The partition wall 24 is provided inside the housing body 21 at the central portion in the Y direction of the housing body 21. The partition wall 24 protrudes from the bottom wall 22 in the +Z direction and extends in the X direction from the first holding portion 30 to in front of the second lead-out hole 22b, which will be described later. The partition wall 24 partitions the inside of the housing body 21 in the Y direction. Each space partitioned by the partition wall 24 houses one electric wire 10. 【0020】 (Lead-out portion) The lead-out portion 25 is provided at the end portion on the -X direction side of the housing 20. The lead-out portion 25 protrudes from the bottom wall 22 of the housing body 21 in the -Z direction. The lead-out portion 25 is formed in a cylindrical shape extending in the -Z direction. The lead-out portion 25 communicates with the two first lead-out holes 22a formed in the housing body 21. Each electric wire 10 is drawn out from the lead-out portion 25 in the -Z direction. 【0021】 (Terminal accommodating portion) The terminal accommodating portion 26 is provided at the end portion on the +X direction side of the housing 20. The terminal accommodating portion 26 protrudes from the bottom wall 22 of the housing body 21 in the -Z direction. The terminal accommodating portion 26 is formed in a cylindrical shape extending in the -Z direction. The terminal accommodating portion 26 communicates with the second lead-out hole 22b formed in the housing body 21. The terminal portions 2 of each electric wire 10 drawn out from the housing body 21 in the -Z direction are accommodated in the terminal accommodating portion 26. 【0022】 (First engaging portion) The first engaging portion 27 is provided near the opening of the housing body 21. The first engaging portion 27 is the part that engages with the cover 40, which will be described later. The first engaging portion 27 is provided on the +Z direction edge of the first side wall 23a, the second side wall 23b, the third side wall 23c, and the fourth side wall 23d. Specifically, one first engaging portion 27 is provided on the first side wall 23a and the second side wall 23b. In addition, multiple first engaging portions 27 are provided on the third side wall 23c and the fourth side wall 23d (three in the illustrated example). 【0023】 (1st holding part) The first holding portion 30 is a member that holds the electric wire 10 together with the second holding portion 50, which will be described later. The first holding portion 30 is provided inside the housing body 21. The first holding portion 30 is located in the X direction between the first outlet hole 22a and the second outlet hole 22b. One first holding portion 30 is formed on each side in the Y direction, with the partition wall 24 in between. The first holding portion 30 protrudes from the bottom wall 22 in the +Z direction and connects the partition wall 24 to the third side wall 23c or the fourth side wall 23d in the Y direction. As shown in Figures 3 to 6, the first holding portion 30 has a terminal housing portion 26, a first approach portion 33, and a first pressing portion 34. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along the line F3-F3 in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the electronic housing portion and the regulating portion of this embodiment. Figure 5 is an enlarged view of portion F5 in Figure 3. Figure 6 is an enlarged view showing the wire housing section 31 and the regulating section 51 of this embodiment. 【0024】 (Wire storage area) The wire housing section 31 is a groove that penetrates the first holding section 30 in the X direction and opens in the +Z direction. That is, the wire housing section 31 opens toward the cover 40, which will be described later. The wire 10 is housed in the wire housing section 31 from the +Z direction side. The wire housing section 31 surrounds the outer surface of the wire 10. The wire housing section 31 is formed deeper in the Z direction than the diameter R1 of the wire 10. That is, the depth L1 of the wire housing section 31 in the Z direction is greater than the diameter R1 of the wire 10. Also, the wire housing section 31 is formed wider in the Y direction than the diameter R1 of the wire 10. That is, the width L2 of the wire housing section 31 in the Y direction is greater than the diameter R1 of the wire 10. The wire housing section 31 has a curved section 31a, a first flat section 31b, and a second flat section 31c. The curved portion 31a is positioned on the -Z direction side with respect to the electric wire 10 and supports the electric wire 10 from the -Z direction. The curved portion 31a is formed in a curved shape that follows the outer surface of the electric wire 10. The diameter R2 of the curved portion 31a is larger than the diameter R1 of the electric wire 10. In this embodiment, the diameter R2 of the curved portion 31a is approximately equal to the width L2 of the electric wire housing portion 31 in the Y direction. The first flat portion 31b is provided at the end of the curved portion 31a on the partition wall 24 side in the Y direction. The first flat portion 31b extends from the curved portion 31a in the +Z direction. The first flat portion 31b is smoothly connected to the curved portion 31a. The second flat portion 31c is provided at the end of the curved portion 31a opposite to the partition wall 24 in the Y direction. The second flat portion 31c extends from the curved portion 31a in the +Z direction. The second flat portion 31c is smoothly connected to the curved portion 31a. The second flat portion 31c is formed to be longer in the Z direction than the first flat portion 31b and is closer to the cover 40 than the first flat portion 31b. 【0025】 (First Escape Team) The first relief section 32 is connected in the Y direction to the first planar section 31b of the wire housing section 31. The first relief section 32 extends from the first planar section 31b toward the partition wall 24 in the Y direction and is connected to the partition wall 24. The first relief section 32 is the part of the cover 40 that will be described later that faces the second relief section 52 in the Z direction. The first relief section 32 is located further away from the second relief section 52 in the -Z direction than the wire 10. 【0026】 (1st approach part) The first approach portion 33 is connected to the second planar portion 31c of the wire housing portion 31 in the Y direction. The first approach portion 33 is the portion that approaches the second approach portion 53 of the cover 40, which will be described later, in the Z direction. The first approach portion 33 is closer to the second approach portion 53 in the Z direction than the wire 10. The first approach portion 33 extends from the second planar portion 31c in the Y direction away from the partition wall 24 and is connected to the third side wall 23c or the fourth side wall 23d. The first approach portion 33 and the second approach portion 53, which will be described later, constitute a matching portion that serves as a reference for positioning the housing 20 and the cover 40 during assembly. The first approach portion 33 may be called the first matching portion, and the second approach portion 53 may be called the second matching portion. The first approach portion 33 and the second approach portion 53 may or may not be in contact. 【0027】 (First pressing section) The first pressing portion 34 is provided on the curved portion 31a of the wire housing portion 31. Two first pressing portions 34 are provided side by side in the Y direction. The first pressing portions 34 protrude from the curved portion 31a toward the wire 10 and press the wire 10 in the +Z direction. The first pressing portions 34, together with the second pressing portion 54 which will be described later, clamp the wire 10 from both sides in the Z direction, preventing the wire 10 from shifting position. 【0028】 <5. Cover> As shown in Figure 1, the cover 40 is mounted facing the housing 20 in the Z direction. The cover 40 covers the opening of the housing 20 from the +Z direction. The cover 40 prevents the inside of the housing 20 from being exposed. The cover 40 has a cover body 41, a second engaging portion 42, and a second retaining portion 50 (see Figure 3). 【0029】 (Cover body) As shown in Figure 2, the cover body 41 is formed in a flat, elongated shape in the X direction. The cover body 41 has the same shape as the opening edge of the housing body 21, and is slightly larger than the opening edge of the housing body 21. The cover body 41 covers the entire opening of the housing body 21. 【0030】 (Second engaging part) The second engaging portion 42 is the portion that engages with the first engaging portion 27 of the housing 20 described above. The second engaging portion 42 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the cover body 41. Specifically, one second engaging portion 42 is provided on each of the edges of the cover body 41 in the X direction. In addition, multiple second engaging portions 42 are provided on each of the edges of the cover body 41 in the Y direction (three in the illustrated example). The cover 40 is attached to the housing 20 by the engagement of the second engaging portion 42 with the first engaging portion 27. 【0031】 (Second holding part) The second holding portion 50 is a member that holds the electric wire 10 together with the first holding portion 30 described above. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the second holding portion 50 is provided on the -Z direction side of the cover body 41. One second holding portion 50 is arranged on each side in the Y direction, with the partition wall 24 in between. The second holding portion 50 is provided so as to protrude from the cover body 41 in the -Z direction. Each second holding portion 50 faces the corresponding first holding portion 30 in the Z direction. The second holding portion 50 has a restricting portion 51, a second relief portion 52, and a second approach portion 53. 【0032】 (Regulatory Department) The restricting portion 51 is positioned opposite the wire housing portion 31 in the Z direction and restricts the movement of the wire 10 in the Z direction. The restricting portion 51 is formed to protrude in the -Z direction and extend in the Y direction. The restricting surface 51a on the -Z direction side of the restricting portion 51 is formed as a planar shape extending in the Y direction. The restricting portion 51 is formed to be slightly narrower in the Y direction than the diameter R1 of the wire 10. That is, the width of the restricting portion 51 in the Y direction is slightly smaller than the diameter R1 of the wire 10. 【0033】 (Second Escape Team) The second relief section 52 is connected in the Y direction to the end of the regulating section 51 on the partition wall 24 side in the Y direction. The second relief section 52 extends from the regulating section 51 toward the partition wall 24 side in the Y direction and is connected to the partition wall 24. The second relief section 52 is the part of the housing 20 that faces the first relief section 32 in the Z direction. The distance L3 in the Z direction between the second relief section 52 and the first relief section 32 is longer than the distance L4 in the Z direction between the second approach section 53 and the first approach section 33, which will be described later. 【0034】 (Second approach part) The second approach section 53 is connected in the Y direction to the end of the regulating section 51 opposite to the partition wall 24 in the Y direction. The second approach section 53 is the part of the housing 20 that approaches the first approach section 33 in the Z direction. The first approach section 33 is closer to the second approach section 53 in the Z direction than the electric wire 10. The second approach section 53 extends from the regulating section 51 in the Y direction away from the partition wall 24. The second approach section 53 is positioned further away from the electric wire housing section 31 in the Z direction than the regulating section 51. Also, the second approach section 53 is located at approximately the same position in the Z direction as the second escape section 52. 【0035】 (Second pressing section) The second pressing portion 54 is located in the center of the regulating portion 51 in the Y direction. The second pressing portion 54 protrudes from the regulating surface 51a of the regulating portion 51 toward the electric wire 10 and presses the electric wire 10 in the -Z direction. The second pressing portion 54 is positioned in the center of the two first pressing portions 34 in the Y direction. The second pressing portion 54, together with the aforementioned first pressing portions 34, clamps the electric wire 10 from both sides in the Z direction, preventing displacement of the electric wire 10. 【0036】 <6. Advantages> In connectors equipped with a structure that suppresses the transmission of external forces through electric wires, a problem has been that the insulation of the electric wire can become pinched at the mating parts of the components that suppress the transmission of external forces, impairing its insulating performance. 【0037】 In contrast, in this embodiment, the connector 1 comprises a wire 10, a housing 20, and a cover 40. The housing 20 is a member that houses the wire 10. The cover 40 is attached to the housing 20 so as to face the Z direction, which intersects the X direction in which the wire 10 extends. The housing 20 has a wire housing portion 31 and a first approach portion 33. The wire housing portion 31 houses the wire 10 so as to surround the outer surface of the wire 10 and is open toward the cover 40. The first approach portion 33 is connected to the wire housing portion 31 in the Y direction, which intersects both the X and Z directions. The cover 40 has a restricting portion 51 and a second approach portion 53. The restricting portion 51 is positioned so as to face the wire housing portion 31 in the Z direction and is a member that restricts the movement of the wire 10 in the Z direction. The second approach section 53 is connected to the regulating section 51 in the Y direction and is positioned closer to the first approach section 33 in the Z direction. The first approach section 33 is closer to the cover 40 in the Z direction than the electric wire 10, and the electric wire housing section 31 is formed deeper in the Z direction than the diameter R1 of the electric wire 10. 【0038】 With this configuration, the cover 40 and housing 20 can stably hold the electric wire 10, thereby suppressing the transmission of external forces to the electric wire 10. Furthermore, because the electric wire housing portion 31 is formed deeper in the Z direction than the diameter R1 of the electric wire 10, the electric wire 10 can be placed on the housing 20 during assembly so that the electric wire 10 does not protrude from the electric wire housing portion 31. Because the electric wire 10 is positioned in this way, the connector 1 can be assembled without the electric wire 10 being pinched between the first approach portion 33 and the second approach portion 53. The insulation of the electric wire 10 is prevented from being caught between the first approach portion 33 and the second approach portion 53, thus ensuring more reliable insulation performance. 【0039】 In this embodiment, the second approach portion 53 is positioned further away from the wire housing portion 31 in the Z direction than the regulating portion 51. 【0040】 With this configuration, the electric wire 10 is more reliably prevented from being pinched between the first approach section 33 and the second approach section 53. 【0041】 In this embodiment, the wire housing portion 31 is formed to be wider in the Y direction than the diameter R1 of the wire 10. 【0042】 With this configuration, the electric wire 10 is not crushed from both sides in the Y direction by the electric wire housing 31 and does not protrude to the outside of the electric wire housing 31, and the electric wire 10 is more reliably prevented from being pinched between the first approach portion 33 and the second approach portion 53. 【0043】 In this embodiment, the housing 20 has a first pressing portion 34 that protrudes from the wire housing portion 31 toward the wire 10. The cover 40 protrudes from the restricting portion 51 toward the wire 10 and has a second pressing portion 54 that, together with the first pressing portion 34, clamps the wire 10 from both sides in the Z direction. 【0044】 With this configuration, the electric wire 10 can be held stably. Therefore, the propagation of external forces transmitted to the electric wire 10 is reliably suppressed. 【0045】 Several embodiments and modifications have been described above. However, the embodiments and modifications are not limited to the examples described above. For example, multiple embodiments may be implemented in combination with each other.
