Description

[[Technical Field]]

[0001] The present invention relates to an electric wire with a connector. [[Background Art]]

[0002] Conventionally, there has been known an electric wire with a connector, which includes: an electric wire having one end bent at a right angle; a terminal fitting attached to the end of the electric wire end; a housing that accommodates the terminal fitting and the electric wire end into an accommodation chamber through an opening, and draws an electric wire lead-out portion of the electric wire out of the accommodation chamber; and a cover member that closes the opening. Such an electric wire with a connector is disclosed, for example, in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below. [[Prior Art Documents]] [[Patent Documents]]

[0004] Incidentally, in an electric wire with a connector, if the terminal fitting and a mating terminal fitting are respectively a female terminal fitting and a male terminal fitting that are fitted and connected to each other in a male-female fitting manner, a play is provided for the terminal fitting in the accommodation chamber for the purpose of, for example, positioning between the terminal fitting and the mating terminal fitting during the male-female fitting connection. For this reason, in this electric wire with a connector, when the bent portion of the electric wire end tries to return to its original shape before bending, the force at this time acts on the terminal fitting from the end of the electric wire end, so the terminal fitting can be displaced by an amount corresponding to the size of the play in the accommodation chamber. Therefore, in this electric wire with a connector, due to the force from the electric wire end acting on the terminal fitting, the male terminal fitting may come into partial contact inside the female terminal fitting, which may reduce the conduction performance between the terminals.

[0005] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a wire with a connector that can suppress uneven contact between terminals. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention comprises a wire with one end bent into a specified curved shape, a terminal fitting having a wire connection portion for physically and electrically connecting to a terminal connection portion at the end of the wire, and a mating connection portion for mating to a mating terminal fitting, and a housing and cover member that houses the terminal fitting and the wire end in a housing chamber in the assembled state and allows the wire lead portion of the wire to be pulled out of the housing chamber from the wire lead outlet, wherein the wire end has a first wire shaft portion having the terminal connection portion, a second wire shaft portion connected to the wire lead portion, and a curved portion where these axes intersect on the first wire shaft portion side and the second wire shaft portion side and bent into the specified curved shape, and the housing chamber is The space formed by combining the first and second housing chambers of the housing and the cover member after assembly, the wire outlet is a communication opening formed by combining the first groove and the second groove of the housing and the cover member after assembly to connect the inside and outside of the housing chamber, the housing has the first housing chamber for housing the terminal fitting and the wire end inserted from the insertion opening, and the first groove, the cover member has a cover body that closes the insertion opening of the housing, the second housing chamber, the second groove, and the movement of the first wire shaft in the housing chamber in the opposite direction to the bending direction relative to the second wire shaft as the first wire shaft contacts the housing. locking surface A bending restricting part that locks and maintains the wire end in the specified bent shape, The bending restricting portion is formed such that, when the cover member is assembled to the housing, its tip contacts the bending portion of the wire terminal, and then its locking surface pushes the first wire shaft portion back to the specified bending shape relative to the second wire shaft portion. The tip of the bending restricting portion is provided on the side facing its locking surface to reduce the abrasiveness to the wire end when the tip comes into contact with the bending portion and to guide the wire end toward its locking surface. It is characterized by the following: [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The wire with connector according to the present invention can maintain the wire end in a specified bend shape by the bending restricting portion, thereby suppressing the tilt of the mating connection portion with respect to the mating connection direction and preventing uneven contact between the mating connection portion and the mating mating connection portion. Therefore, this wire with connector can prevent a decrease in conductivity between the mating connection portion and the mating mating connection portion. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] An embodiment of the connector-equipped wire according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, this embodiment does not limit the present invention.

[0010] [Embodiment] One embodiment of the connector-equipped electric wire according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 7.

[0011] Reference numeral 1 in Figures 1 to 7 indicates a wire with a connector in this embodiment. This wire with a connector 1 comprises a wire 10 and a connector (terminal fitting 20, housing 30, cover member 40, etc.) attached to one end 11 of the wire 10. This wire with a connector 1 comprises two sets of wires with terminals, each with a terminal fitting 20 attached to the end 11 of the wire 10.

[0012] The housing 30 and cover member 40, when assembled together, form a housing that houses the terminal fittings 20 and the wire ends 11 in the housing chamber S, and allows the wire exit portion 12 of the wire 10 to be pulled out of the housing chamber S from the wire exit port Op (Figure 3). The housing chamber S is a space formed by combining the first housing chamber 30a and the second housing chamber 40a in the assembled housing 30 and cover member 40 (Figures 3 to 6). The wire exit port Op is a communication opening formed by combining the first groove portion 30b and the second groove portion 40b in the assembled housing 30 and cover member 40 to connect the inside and outside of the housing chamber S (Figures 3 to 6).

[0013] In the electric wire 10, one end of the electric wire 11 is housed in the housing chamber S while bent into a specified curved shape, and the electric wire lead-out portion 12 on the other end of the electric wire 11 is pulled out of the housing chamber S. The terminal fitting 20 has an electric wire connection portion 21 that is physically and electrically connected to the terminal connection portion 11a at the end of the electric wire 11, and a mating connection portion 22 that is mated and connected to a mating terminal fitting (not shown) (Figures 3 and 4). This terminal fitting 20 is housed in the housing chamber S together with the electric wire 11 bent into a specified curved shape. The wire terminal 11 has a first wire shaft portion 13 having a terminal connection portion 11a, a second wire shaft portion 14 connected to the wire lead-out portion 12, and a bent portion 15 formed by crossing these axes on the first wire shaft portion 13 side and the second wire shaft portion 14 side and bending them into a specified bent shape (Figures 3 and 4).

[0014] The wire terminal 11 shown herein forms an L-shape bent at a right angle between the first wire shaft portion 13 side and the second wire shaft portion 14 side. In this wire terminal 11, the axial direction of the first wire shaft portion 13 corresponds to the fitting connection direction of the fitting connection portion 22 relative to the mating terminal fitting. Also, in this wire terminal 11, the axial direction of the second wire shaft portion 14 matches the drawing direction of the wire drawing portion 12 to the outside of the accommodation chamber S.

[0015] In the terminal fitting 20 shown herein, the wire connection portion 21 and the fitting connection portion 22 are arranged in a line along the axial direction of the first wire shaft portion 13. The wire connection portion 21 shown herein has a pair of barrel pieces that are crimped onto the terminal connection portion 11a of the wire terminal 11. One of the fitting connection portion 22 and the mating fitting connection portion of the mating terminal fitting is formed as a female terminal portion, and the other is formed as a male terminal portion. Herein, the fitting connection portion 22 is formed as a cylindrical female terminal portion, and the mating fitting connection portion is formed as a male terminal portion that is inserted and fitted into the inner side of the female terminal portion.

[0016] The housing 30 and the cover member 40 are molded from an insulating material such as synthetic resin. The housing 30 has the first accommodation chamber 30a and the first groove portion 30b described above, and also has an insertion port 30c for the terminal fitting 20 and the wire terminal 11 (FIG. 3 and FIG. 6). The terminal fitting 20 and the wire terminal 11 inserted through the insertion port 30c are accommodated in the first accommodation chamber 30a. Into this first accommodation chamber 30a, the wire terminal 11 is inserted through the insertion port 30c while the terminal fitting 20 remains attached thereto and the wire terminal 11 remains bent into the prescribed bent shape. Also, the cover member 40 has the second accommodation chamber 40a and the second groove portion 40b described above, and also has a cover main body 41 that blocks the insertion port 30c of the housing 30 (FIG. 3 to FIG. 7). Herein, a space formed by recessing the cover main body 41 from the inner wall surface side toward the outside of the accommodation chamber S is used as the second accommodation chamber 40a. In the housing 30 and the cover member 40, the first groove portion 30b and the second groove portion 40b are each formed as a semicircular groove portion, and these are combined to form the circular wire outlet Op.

[0017] Specifically, the housing 30 includes an outer housing 31 formed with a first accommodation chamber 30a, a first groove portion 30b for each electric wire 10, and an insertion opening 30c, and further includes an inner housing 32 for each terminal fitting 20, which is assembled to the outer housing 31 inside the first accommodation chamber 30a (FIGS. 1 to 7).

[0018] The outer housing 31 includes a wire accommodation portion 31a that accommodates each wire end 11 of the two electric wires 10, and a terminal accommodation portion 31b that accommodates the two terminal fittings 20 (FIGS. 1 to 7). In this outer housing 31, the first accommodation chamber 30a is formed by the inner space of the wire accommodation portion 31a and the inner space of the terminal accommodation portion 31b. The first groove portion 30b and the insertion opening 30c are formed in the wire accommodation portion 31a. A cover member 40 is assembled to the wire accommodation portion 31a, and although not described in detail, the cover member 40 is held by a plurality of locking mechanisms 38A formed of claw portions and the like (FIG. 1).

[0019] The inner housing 32 accommodates the terminal fitting 20 in its inner space, and holds the terminal fitting 20 by a locking mechanism (not shown) such as a lance. The inner housing 32 is accommodated in the inner space of the cylindrical terminal accommodation portion 31b, and is held to the terminal accommodation portion 31b by a plurality of locking mechanisms 38B formed of claw portions and the like (FIG. 3).

[0020] This wire with connector 1 is configured such that by inserting and fitting the terminal accommodation portion 31b from the distal end into a through hole (not shown) of a mating wall portion, the terminal fitting 20 inside the inner housing 32 assembled to the terminal accommodation portion 31b is fitted and connected to a mating fitting connection portion. Therefore, this wire with connector 1 includes an annular first waterproof member 51 that fills the annular gap between the outer peripheral surface of the terminal accommodation portion 31b and the inner peripheral surface of the through hole of the mating wall portion. This first waterproof member 51 is a so-called packing, and is assembled to the outer peripheral surface of the terminal accommodation portion 31b (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4). Accordingly, the housing 30 includes an annular front holder 33 that is assembled to the outer peripheral surface from the distal end of the terminal accommodation portion 31b and holds the first waterproof member 51 in the assembled position with respect to the terminal accommodation portion 31b (FIGS. 1 to 7).

[0021] Here, the wire housing portion 31a has an annular shape concentric with the terminal housing portion 31b on the outer side of the base of the terminal housing portion 31b, and the annular portion is positioned facing the wall surface of the mating wall portion when the terminal housing portion 31b is inserted and fitted into the through hole of the mating wall portion. For this reason, the wire with connector 1 is equipped with an annular second waterproof member 52 that fills the gap between the annular portion of the wire housing portion 31a and the wall surface of the mating wall portion (Figures 1, 3, and 4). This second waterproof member 52 is a so-called packing and is assembled to the annular portion of the wire housing portion 31a.

[0022] Furthermore, the wire with connector 1 is equipped with a third waterproof member 53 that fills the gap between the periphery of the insertion opening 30c in the wire housing section 31a and the cover body 41, and also seals the wire outlet Op from the inside of the housing chamber S (Figures 3, 4, 6, and 7). This third waterproof member 53 is a so-called packing and is positioned on the housing chamber S side of the wire outlet Op, and the second wire shaft portion 14 is inserted through it in close contact with its outer surface all the way around. This third waterproof member 53 is used to insert the second wire shaft portion 14 for each wire 10.

[0023] Furthermore, the electric wire 1 with the connector is housed in a housing chamber S and is equipped with a vibration suppressor 60 that suppresses vibration of the second electric wire shaft portion 14 within the housing chamber S (Figures 3, 4, 6, and 7). This vibration suppressor 60 is a so-called inner holder composed of a pair of vibration suppressor members 61 assembled together, and is molded from an insulating material such as synthetic resin (Figures 3, 4, 6, and 7).

[0024] The vibration suppressor 60 is provided with a wire holding passage 60a for each second wire shaft portion 14 through which the second wire shaft portion 14 is inserted and held (Figures 3 and 4). The vibration suppressor member 61 has a semi-cylindrical wire holding groove 61a for each second wire shaft portion 14 (Figures 3 and 4). In this vibration suppressor 60, a cylindrical wire holding passage 60a is formed by a pair of wire holding grooves 61a combined by assembling a pair of vibration suppressor members 61. In the wire holding passage 60a, the second wire shaft portion 14 is held by being sandwiched from its outer circumferential surface by a plurality of protrusions 61b that protrude from the groove wall of each wire holding groove 61a (Figure 4).

[0025] The first housing chamber 30a has a fitting portion 30a1 into which one of the vibration suppression members 61 of the vibration suppression device 60 is fitted (Figures 3 and 6). The second housing chamber 40a also has a fitting portion 40a1 into which the other vibration suppression member 61 of the vibration suppression device 60 is fitted (Figures 3 to 6). The vibration suppression device 60 is held in place by being sandwiched between the respective fitting portions 30a1 and 40a1 of the housing 30 and cover member 40 after assembly.

[0026] Incidentally, in this connector-equipped wire 1, the wire terminal 11 is housed in the housing chamber S while bent into a specified curved shape. Therefore, the wire terminal 11 may try to return to its original shape before bending while inside the housing chamber S. Here, in this connector-equipped wire 1, there is some play between the terminal fitting 20 and the inner housing 32, and also between the outer housing 31 and the inner housing 32, for purposes such as aligning the mating connection part 22 and the mating connection part when mating them together, and the terminal fitting 20 can be moved relative to the other part inside the housing chamber S by the amount of this play. On the other hand, in this connector-equipped wire 1, the second wire shaft portion 14 of the wire terminal 11 is held by the housing 30, the cover member 40 and the vibration suppressor 60, making it difficult for the second wire shaft portion 14 to move relative to the other part inside the housing chamber S. Therefore, in this wire with connector 1, the force that causes the wire terminal 11 to return to its original shape before bending is released on the first wire shaft portion 13 side. However, the force from the first wire shaft portion 13 acting on the terminal fitting 20 may cause the mating connection portion 22 to tilt with respect to the direction of mating connection with the mating connection portion, potentially causing uneven contact between the mating connection portion 22 and the mating connection portion, thereby reducing the conductivity between them.

[0027] Therefore, in this connector-equipped electric wire 1, a bending restriction portion 42 is provided on the cover member 40 to suppress the occurrence of uneven contact between the mating connection portion 22 and the mating mating connection portion (Figures 3 to 7).

[0028] The bending restriction portion 42 is part of the cover member 40 provided to maintain the wire terminal 11 in a specified bent shape, and is provided for each wire terminal 11. This bending restriction portion 42 protrudes from the inner wall surface of the cover body 41 and is inserted into the first housing chamber 30a by the housing 30 and cover member 40 after assembly. The bending restriction portion 42 then locks the movement of the first wire shaft portion 13 in the opposite direction to the bending direction of the second wire shaft portion 14 within the housing chamber S at the locking surface 42a as the first wire shaft portion 13 comes into contact with it, thereby maintaining the wire terminal 11 in a specified bent shape (Figure 3). The bending restriction portion 42 shown here is formed in the shape of a rectangular flat plate.

[0029] In this embodiment, the wire with connector 1 can maintain the wire terminal 11 in a specified bend shape by the bending restricting portion 42, thereby suppressing the tilt of the mating connection portion 22 with respect to the mating connection direction and preventing uneven contact between the mating connection portion 22 and the mating mating connection portion. Therefore, this wire with connector 1 can prevent a decrease in conductivity between the mating connection portion 22 and the mating mating connection portion.

[0030] Furthermore, in this connector-equipped wire 1, before the cover member 40 is assembled to the housing 30, the first wire shaft portion 13 may have returned to its original shape before bending relative to the second wire shaft portion 14, within the range of relative movement of the terminal fitting 20 within the housing chamber S. In this case, when the cover member 40 is assembled to the housing 30, the bending restricting portion 42 can, after its protruding tip 42b contacts the bent portion 15 of the wire terminal 11, push the first wire shaft portion 13 back to the specified bent shape relative to the second wire shaft portion 14 with its locking surface 42a (Figures 3 and 7).

[0031] Here, the bending restricting portion 42 has a tapered portion 42c on the locking surface 42a side of its tip 42b in order to reduce the abrasiveness to the wire terminal 11 when the tip 42b comes into contact with the bending portion 15 (Figures 3 and 7). This tapered portion 42c also functions as a pick-up portion for guiding the wire terminal 11 toward the locking surface 42a side.

[0032] Furthermore, in this connector-equipped wire 1, a pair of rotation restricting parts 43 are provided on the cover member 40 to suppress the occurrence of uneven contact between the mating connection part 22 and the mating mating connection part (Figures 3 to 7).

[0033] The pair of rotation restricting parts 43 are part of a cover member 40 provided to restrict the rotation of the second wire shaft portion 14 around its axis at the wire terminal 11, and are provided for each wire terminal 11. These pair of rotation restricting parts 43 protrude from the inner wall surface of the cover main body 41 and are inserted into the first housing chamber 30a by the housing 30 and cover member 40 after assembly. These pair of rotation restricting parts 43 are then positioned opposite each other within the housing chamber S with the first wire shaft portion 13 in between, thereby suppressing the rotation of the second wire shaft portion 14 around its axis at the wire terminal 11 as it comes into contact with the first wire shaft portion 13. For example, in this case, one rotation restricting part 43 prevents the clockwise rotation of the second wire shaft portion 14 at the wire terminal 11 by bringing the first wire shaft portion 13 into contact with the locking surface 43a, and the other rotation restricting part 43 prevents the counterclockwise rotation of the second wire shaft portion 14 at the wire terminal 11 by bringing the first wire shaft portion 13 into contact with the locking surface 43a (Figures 3 and 5 to 7). The rotation restricting part 43 shown here is formed in the shape of a rectangular flat plate.

[0034] In this embodiment, the wire with connector 1 can restrict the rotation of the second wire shaft portion 14 at the wire terminal 11 around its axis using the pair of rotation restricting portions 43. This suppresses the tilt of the mating connection portion 22 with respect to the mating connection direction, thereby reducing the occurrence of uneven contact between the mating connection portion 22 and the mating mating connection portion. Consequently, this wire with connector 1 can prevent a decrease in conductivity between the mating connection portion 22 and the mating mating connection portion.

[0035] Furthermore, in this connector-equipped wire 1, before the cover member 40 is assembled to the housing 30, the wire end 11 may have rotated from its normal position around the axis of the second wire shaft portion 14 within the range of relative movement of the terminal fitting 20 inside the housing chamber S. In this case, when the cover member 40 is being assembled to the housing 30, the rotation restricting portion 43 can contact the bent portion 15 of the wire end 11 with its protruding tip 43b, and then push the first wire shaft portion 13 back to its normal position with its locking surface 43a (Figures 3 and 5).

[0036] Here, the pair of rotation restricting portions 43 have tapered portions 43c on the locking surface 43a side of their tips 43b to reduce the abrasiveness to the wire terminal 11 when the tips 43b come into contact with the bent portion 15 (Figures 3 and 5). These tapered portions 43c also function as pick-up portions to guide the wire terminal 11 toward the locking surface 43a side.

[0037] The bending restricting portion 42 and the pair of rotation restricting portions 43 shown here are formed in a U-shape for each wire terminal 11, with the bending restricting portion 42 at the bottom wall and the pair of rotation restricting portions 43 at the side walls, and the wire terminal 11 is inserted into the inside of the U-shape. In addition, the tip 42b of the bending restricting portion 42 is offset towards the main body 41 side than the tip 43b of the pair of rotation restricting portions 43. Here, by offsetting the bending restricting portion 42, contact between the bending restricting portion 42 and the terminal fitting 20 is avoided. [Explanation of Symbols]
