AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing electrical junction boxes with relief terminals risk damaging wire harnesses when a booster cable is clamped, as the clamping portion may come into contact with the wire harness.

Method used

The electrical junction box incorporates a movable cover that can be positioned between the relief terminal and the wire harness routing area, preventing contact between the booster cable's clamping portion and the wire harness.

Benefits of technology

This design effectively prevents the booster cable from contacting the wire harness, even when routed near the relief terminal, thereby protecting the electric wires from damage.

Abstract

To prevent a booster cable from contacting with a wire harness even if the wire harness is arranged near a relief terminal.SOLUTION: An electric connection box has: a relief terminal; and a cover which may move between a closed position in which the cover covers the relief terminal and an open position in which the cover does not cover the relief terminal. The cover is disposed between a harness arrangement area, in which a wire harness is arranged, and the relief terminal when the cover is in the open position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

1. A rescue terminal, a cover movable between a closed position covering the relief terminal and an open position not covering the relief terminal; When the cover is in the open position, the cover is positioned between the harness routing area in which the wire harness is routed and the rescue terminal in a position that hides the wire harness in the harness routing area from the clamping portion of the booster cable.

2. The electrical connection box further includes a connector mounting portion to which a connector of the wire harness is attached, The electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein the cover is adjacent to the connector mounting portion.

3. The electronic component mounting portion further includes an electronic component mounting portion, 3. The electrical junction box according to claim 1, wherein the relief terminal is a bus bar mounted on the electronic component mounting portion.
