Description

本発明は、自動車等に搭載される電気接続箱を構成する布線絶縁板に関する。   The present invention relates to a wiring insulating plate constituting an electrical connection box mounted on an automobile or the like.

従来から、自動車に搭載される電気接続箱には、所定の経路に沿って配索された被覆単芯線等の電線と、該電線に対して電気的に接続される複数の圧接端子とを支持する布線絶縁板が用いられている。このような布線絶縁板には、二股状に分岐した圧接端子の圧接部が圧入固定される端子装着孔を備えた一対の支持突部が設けられており、この一対の支持突部の間に絶縁板上に配索された電線が嵌め入れられて、圧接部と導通されるようになっている。   Conventionally, an electric junction box mounted on an automobile supports an electric wire such as a coated single core wire arranged along a predetermined route and a plurality of press contact terminals electrically connected to the electric wire. A wiring insulation board is used. Such a wiring insulating plate is provided with a pair of support protrusions having terminal mounting holes into which the press contact portions of the press contact terminals branched in a bifurcated manner are press-fitted, and between the pair of support protrusions. An electric wire arranged on the insulating plate is fitted into the insulation plate and is electrically connected to the press contact portion.

ところで、一対の支持突部の間に挟み込まれた電線は、圧接後の製造工程や自動車への装着後に及ぼされる振動等の外力によってそれら一対の支持突部間から抜け出すおそれがあり、電線と圧接端子の接続信頼性の確保が問題となっていた。そこで、従来では、特開平10−145943号公報(特許文献1)等に示されているように、布線絶縁板に重ね合わされるロアケース等に対して、布線絶縁板に向かって突出する押圧突起を形成し、該押圧突起が一対の支持突部の間に差し込まれて電線を押え込むことによって、電線の抜けが防止される構造が採用されていた。   By the way, the electric wire sandwiched between the pair of supporting projections may come out from between the pair of supporting projections due to an external force such as a vibration applied after the manufacturing process after pressing or mounting on the automobile. Ensuring terminal connection reliability has been a problem. Therefore, conventionally, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-145943 (Patent Document 1) and the like, a pressing that protrudes toward the wiring insulating plate against the lower case or the like superimposed on the wiring insulating plate A structure has been employed in which protrusions are formed and the pressing protrusions are inserted between a pair of support protrusions to hold down the electric wires, thereby preventing the wires from coming off.

しかしながら、このような押圧突起をロアケースに形成すると、ロアケースの構造が複雑になって成形が困難になったり、布線絶縁板の設計変更によってロアケースの設計変更までもが必要となって、コストが嵩むなどの問題があった。   However, if such a pressing protrusion is formed on the lower case, the structure of the lower case becomes complicated and it becomes difficult to form, or the design change of the lower case is required due to the design change of the wiring insulating plate, which is costly. There were problems such as bulkiness.

特開平10−145943号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-145943

本発明は、上述の事情を背景に為されたものであって、その解決課題は、ロアケース等の別部材の構造に拘らず、電線を端子の基端部への圧接状態に安定して保持することが出来る、新規な構造の布線絶縁板を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in the background of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the solution to the problem is to stably hold the electric wire in the pressure contact state with the base end portion of the terminal regardless of the structure of another member such as a lower case.

Therefore, even when the vibration is input after the electric wire is arranged on the wiring insulating plate, the electric wire and the press contact terminal are maintained in a correct connection state.

また、布線絶縁板に重ね合わされるケース等の他部材に電線の浮き上がりを防止する突起(バックアップ)を設ける必要がなく、例えばケースの形状を単純な箱型等にすることが出来る。従って、ケースの構造を簡単にすることが出来ると共に、配線や端子位置の変更があった場合にも、同一構造のケースを用いることが可能となる。   Further, it is not necessary to provide a protrusion (backup) for preventing the electric wire from floating on other members such as a case superimposed on the wiring insulating plate, and the shape of the case can be a simple box shape, for example. Therefore, the structure of the case can be simplified, and the case having the same structure can be used even when the wiring or the terminal position is changed.

本発明の第二の態様は、前記第一の態様に記載された布線絶縁板において、前記規制突起が、前記圧接部に嵌め入れられて該一対の支持突部の対向面間に配される前記電線に対して直交する方向で対向位置せしめられているものである。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the wiring insulating plate described in the first aspect, the restriction protrusion is fitted into the pressure contact portion and disposed between the opposing surfaces of the pair of support protrusions. It is made to oppose in the direction orthogonal to the said electric wire.

本発明の第三の態様は、前記第一又は第二の態様に記載された布線絶縁板において、前記一対の支持突部において、それぞれ前記一対の規制突起が前記圧接端子の前記対向辺縁部を挟んだ両側に形成されているものである。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the wired insulating plate described in the first or second aspect, in the pair of support protrusions, the pair of restricting protrusions are the opposing edges of the press contact terminal, respectively. It is formed on both sides of the part.

第三の態様によれば、電線を長さ方向の少なくとも2箇所で規制突起によって抑えることにより、電線の抜けが有利に防止される。   According to the third aspect, pulling out the electric wire is advantageously prevented by restraining the electric wire with the restricting projection at at least two places in the length direction.

本発明の第四の態様は、前記第一〜第三の何れか1つの態様に記載された布線絶縁板において、前記一対の支持突部の基端側に位置する前記規制突起の端面が、前記一対の支持突部の突出方向に対して直交して広がる平坦面とされているものである。   According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the wired insulating plate described in any one of the first to third aspects, an end surface of the restriction protrusion positioned on a proximal end side of the pair of support protrusions is provided. The flat surfaces spread perpendicularly to the protruding direction of the pair of supporting protrusions.

第四の態様によれば、規制突起の電線側の端面を、電線の抜出方向に対して直交する方向に広がる平坦面とすることで、規制突起と電線が当接する際に電線が規制突起を押し広げて抜けるのを防ぐことが出来る。   According to the fourth aspect, the end face on the electric wire side of the restricting protrusion is a flat surface that extends in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the electric wire is pulled out.

以下、本発明の実施形態について、図面を参照しつつ説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図1,図2には、本発明に係る一実施形態としての布線絶縁板10を備えた電気接続箱12が示されている。電気接続箱12は、図2に示されているように、アッパケース14とロアケース16で構成されたケース内に回路体18が収容配置された構造を有している。なお、以下の説明において、上下方向とは、原則として、布線絶縁板10の厚さ方向である図2中の上下方向を言う。   1 and 2 show an electrical junction box 12 having a wiring insulating plate 10 as an embodiment according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the electrical junction box 12 has a structure in which a circuit body 18 is accommodated in a case constituted by an upper case 14 and a lower case 16. In the following description, the vertical direction means the vertical direction in FIG. 2 which is the thickness direction of the wiring insulation board 10 in principle.

アッパケース14は、合成樹脂製で下方に向かって開口する略矩形箱形状の部材であって、その上面の外周部分には電気部品装着部としてのヒューズ取付部20およびリレー取付部22の複数が設けられている。これらヒューズ取付部20とリレー取付部22には、それぞれアッパケース14の上底壁部を厚さ方向に貫通する端子挿入孔24が形成されている。   The upper case 14 is a substantially rectangular box-shaped member made of synthetic resin and opening downward, and a plurality of fuse mounting portions 20 and relay mounting portions 22 as electrical component mounting portions are provided on the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface thereof. Is provided. Each of the fuse mounting portion 20 and the relay mounting portion 22 is formed with a terminal insertion hole 24 that penetrates the upper bottom wall portion of the upper case 14 in the thickness direction.

また、アッパケース14上面には、複数のコネクタ周壁部26が設けられている。コネクタ周壁部26は、筒状とされて、上方に向かって突出するようにアッパケース14と一体形成されている。更に、コネクタ周壁部26の内周側には、複数の端子挿通孔28がアッパケース14を厚さ方向に貫通して形成されている。   A plurality of connector peripheral wall portions 26 are provided on the upper surface of the upper case 14. The connector peripheral wall portion 26 has a cylindrical shape and is integrally formed with the upper case 14 so as to protrude upward. Further, a plurality of terminal insertion holes 28 are formed on the inner peripheral side of the connector peripheral wall portion 26 so as to penetrate the upper case 14 in the thickness direction.

また、アッパケース14の外周部分には複数の係止爪30が一体的に設けられており、後述するロアケース16の外周縁部と係止されることで、アッパケース14とロアケース16が相互に固定されるようになっている。   Further, a plurality of locking claws 30 are integrally provided on the outer peripheral portion of the upper case 14, and the upper case 14 and the lower case 16 are mutually connected by being locked with an outer peripheral edge portion of the lower case 16 described later. It is supposed to be fixed.

一方、ロアケース16は、合成樹脂製で上方に向かって開口する略矩形箱形状の部材であって、周壁の下端から外周側に向かって膨出する係止部36が突出形成されている。   On the other hand, the lower case 16 is made of a synthetic resin and is a substantially rectangular box-shaped member that opens upward, and has a locking portion 36 that protrudes from the lower end of the peripheral wall toward the outer peripheral side.

さらに、平面視で略長方形とされたロアケース16の外周縁部には、3つの取付部38が一体形成されている。各取付部38は、ロアケース16の外周縁部から外側に向かって突出しており、中央部分に形成されたボルト穴40にそれぞれ図示しない固定ボルトが挿通されて車両側に螺着されることにより、ロアケース16が車両側に固定されるようになっている。   Further, three attachment portions 38 are integrally formed on the outer peripheral edge portion of the lower case 16 which is substantially rectangular in plan view. Each mounting portion 38 protrudes outward from the outer peripheral edge of the lower case 16, and a fixing bolt (not shown) is inserted into a bolt hole 40 formed in the center portion and screwed to the vehicle side, The lower case 16 is fixed to the vehicle side.

そして、アッパケース14とロアケース16は、互いの開口部が対向するように上下に正対されて、アッパケース14の周壁に対してロアケース16の周壁が嵌め込まれると共に、アッパケース14の係止爪30とロアケース16の係止部36が互いに係止される。これにより、アッパケース14とロアケース16が互いの開口部を閉塞するように固定されており、アッパケース14の上底壁部とロアケース16の底壁部の対向面間に、外部から隔てられた収容空間42が形成されている。   The upper case 14 and the lower case 16 are faced up and down so that their openings face each other, and the peripheral wall of the lower case 16 is fitted into the peripheral wall of the upper case 14, and the locking claw of the upper case 14 30 and the locking portion 36 of the lower case 16 are locked together. As a result, the upper case 14 and the lower case 16 are fixed so as to close each other's opening, and are separated from the outside between the opposing surfaces of the upper bottom wall portion of the upper case 14 and the bottom wall portion of the lower case 16. A storage space 42 is formed.

また、収容空間42には、回路体18が配設されている。この回路体18は、バスバー回路体43と布線回路体45を含んで構成されている。   The circuit body 18 is disposed in the accommodation space 42. The circuit body 18 includes a bus bar circuit body 43 and a wiring circuit body 45.

バスバー回路体43は、バスバー絶縁板44を有している。バスバー絶縁板44は、電気絶縁性を備えた合成樹脂製の部材であって、薄肉の略矩形板形状とされている。更に、バスバー絶縁板44の上面には、バスバー50が重ね合わされている。バスバー50は、銅合金等の導電性に優れた金属材料で形成された板状の金具であって、バスバー絶縁板44の上面と略平行に広がってバスバー絶縁板44に重ね合わされている。また、バスバー50には、複数の端子部52が一体形成されており、バスバー絶縁板44に対して略直角をなして上方に突出している。なお、バスバー50は、バスバー絶縁板44の下面に配されていても良く、上下両面に配されていても良い。   The bus bar circuit body 43 has a bus bar insulating plate 44. The bus bar insulating plate 44 is a synthetic resin member having electrical insulation, and has a thin, substantially rectangular plate shape. Further, the bus bar 50 is overlaid on the upper surface of the bus bar insulating plate 44. The bus bar 50 is a plate-shaped metal fitting made of a metal material having excellent conductivity, such as a copper alloy, and extends substantially parallel to the upper surface of the bus bar insulating plate 44 and is superimposed on the bus bar insulating plate 44. In addition, a plurality of terminal portions 52 are integrally formed on the bus bar 50 and protrude upward at a substantially right angle with respect to the bus bar insulating plate 44. The bus bar 50 may be disposed on the lower surface of the bus bar insulating plate 44 or may be disposed on both upper and lower surfaces.

一方、布線回路体45は、布線絶縁板10を有している。布線絶縁板10は、バスバー絶縁板44と同様に電気絶縁性を備えた合成樹脂材料で形成されており、バスバー絶縁板44よりも厚肉の略矩形板形状とされている。また、図3に示されているように、布線絶縁板10の外周縁部には、筒状の外周壁53が全周に亘って厚さ方向両側に突出するように一体形成されており、布線絶縁板10の厚さ方向両側に外周壁53で囲まれた凹所状の布線領域54が形成されている。更に、布線絶縁板10には、厚さ方向で両側に突出する複数のガイド突起55が一体形成されている。   On the other hand, the wiring circuit body 45 has a wiring insulating plate 10. Similarly to the bus bar insulating plate 44, the wiring insulating plate 10 is formed of a synthetic resin material having electrical insulation, and has a substantially rectangular plate shape that is thicker than the bus bar insulating plate 44. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, a cylindrical outer peripheral wall 53 is integrally formed on the outer peripheral edge of the wiring insulating plate 10 so as to protrude to both sides in the thickness direction over the entire periphery. A concave wiring region 54 surrounded by the outer peripheral wall 53 is formed on both sides of the wiring insulating plate 10 in the thickness direction. In addition, a plurality of guide protrusions 55 that protrude on both sides in the thickness direction are integrally formed on the wiring insulating plate 10.

また、布線絶縁板10には、図1,2に示されているように、複数の圧接端子56が取り付けられている。この圧接端子56は、銅合金等の導電性に優れた金属材料で形成された板状の金具であって、図4〜図7に示されているように、先端部分が布線絶縁板10から上方に突出していると共に、基端部分が布線絶縁板10から下方に突出している。さらに、圧接端子56の基端部分は、二股状に分岐する圧接部58とされており、突出方向および厚さ方向と直交する幅方向で対向する一対の分岐部位59,59を備えている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of press contact terminals 56 are attached to the wiring insulating plate 10. The press contact terminal 56 is a plate-shaped metal fitting formed of a metal material having excellent conductivity, such as a copper alloy, and the tip end portion thereof is the wiring insulating plate 10 as shown in FIGS. The base end portion protrudes downward from the wiring insulating plate 10. Further, the base end portion of the press contact terminal 56 is a press contact portion 58 that branches into a bifurcated shape, and includes a pair of branch portions 59 and 59 that face each other in the width direction perpendicular to the protruding direction and the thickness direction.

なお、各分岐部位59の対向方向外側の辺縁部61が下方に向かって相互に接近するテーパ形状とされると共に、外側辺縁部61の中間部分に段差が形成されることにより、各分岐部位59の下端部が圧接端子56の上方への抜けを防止する返し部63とされている。また、圧接端子56の中間部分には、幅方向(一対の分岐部位59,59の対向方向)外側に突出する位置決め用の突部65が一体形成されており、突部65が後述する圧入支持部66の開口部に当接することで、圧接端子56が布線絶縁板10に対して軸方向に位置決めされるようになっている。   In addition, the edge portions 61 on the outer sides in the opposing direction of the branch portions 59 are tapered so as to approach each other downward, and a step is formed in an intermediate portion of the outer edge portions 61, so that each branch A lower end portion of the portion 59 is a return portion 63 that prevents the press contact terminal 56 from being pulled upward. In addition, a positioning projection 65 that projects outward in the width direction (opposite direction of the pair of branch portions 59, 59) is integrally formed at an intermediate portion of the press contact terminal 56, and the projection 65 is a press-fit support described later. By contacting the opening of the portion 66, the press contact terminal 56 is positioned in the axial direction with respect to the wiring insulating plate 10.

このような構造を有する圧接端子56は、布線絶縁板10の厚さ方向両側に突出する端子装着部67に取り付けられている。端子装着部67は、上方に向かって突出する部分が圧入支持部66とされていると共に、下方に向かって突出する部分が支持突部60とされている。   The press contact terminal 56 having such a structure is attached to a terminal mounting portion 67 protruding on both sides in the thickness direction of the wiring insulating plate 10. The terminal mounting portion 67 has a press-fit support portion 66 that protrudes upward, and a support protrusion 60 that protrudes downward.

圧入支持部66は、圧接端子56の断面形状よりも大きい略矩形断面を有しており、突出先端部分が先細とされている。一方、支持突部60は、布線絶縁板10に一体形成されており、互いに対向する支持突部60,60の複数対が布線絶縁板10に突設されている。また、一対の支持突部60,60において、それらの対向面が互いに略平行に広がる平坦面とされている。更に、支持突部60の突出先端面は、外周壁53およびガイド突起55の突出先端面と略同一平面上に位置している。また、布線絶縁板10において一対の支持突部60,60の間に位置する部位は、支持突部60よりも小さい突出高さで下方に突出する電線支持部68とされている。   The press-fit support portion 66 has a substantially rectangular cross section that is larger than the cross-sectional shape of the press contact terminal 56, and the protruding tip portion is tapered. On the other hand, the support protrusions 60 are integrally formed with the wiring insulation plate 10, and a plurality of pairs of support protrusions 60, 60 facing each other are provided to protrude from the wiring insulation plate 10. Moreover, in a pair of support protrusions 60 and 60, those opposing surfaces are flat surfaces that extend substantially parallel to each other. Further, the projecting tip surface of the support projection 60 is located on substantially the same plane as the projecting tip surfaces of the outer peripheral wall 53 and the guide projection 55. In addition, a portion of the wiring insulating plate 10 positioned between the pair of support protrusions 60 and 60 is an electric wire support portion 68 that protrudes downward with a protrusion height smaller than that of the support protrusion 60.

また、端子装着部67の中央部分には、布線絶縁板10を上下方向に貫通する端子装着領域69が形成されている。端子装着領域69は、圧入支持部66の中央部分を上下に貫通する端子装着孔64と、一対の支持突部60,60の対向方向内面に開口して上下方向で直線的に延びる端子装着溝62とを含んで構成されており、圧接端子56に対応する形状の空間とされている。なお、端子装着溝62は、上端が端子装着孔64に連通されていると共に、下端が支持突部60の突出先端面までは至らない長さで形成されている。   Further, a terminal mounting area 69 penetrating the wiring insulating plate 10 in the vertical direction is formed in the central portion of the terminal mounting portion 67. The terminal mounting area 69 includes a terminal mounting hole 64 that vertically penetrates the central portion of the press-fit support portion 66, and a terminal mounting groove that opens on the inner surface in the opposing direction of the pair of support protrusions 60 and 60 and extends linearly in the vertical direction 62, and is a space having a shape corresponding to the press contact terminal 56. The terminal mounting groove 62 has an upper end communicating with the terminal mounting hole 64 and a lower end formed with a length that does not reach the protruding front end surface of the support protrusion 60.

そして、圧接端子56は、厚さ方向が一対の支持突部60,60の対向方向に対して略直交する向きで端子装着領域69に圧入固定されている。より詳細には、圧接端子56の中間部分が端子装着孔64に圧入されると共に、二股状とされた圧接部58の各分岐部位59がそれらの対向方向外縁を端子装着溝62に圧入されることにより、圧接端子56が布線絶縁板10に固定されている。また、各分岐部位59の対向方向内側の対向辺縁部71は、端子装着溝62の開口部から対向方向内側に突出している。なお、圧接部58は、後述する電線配設領域84よりも下方にまで延び出しており、後述する被覆単芯線70の長さ方向の投影において圧接部58の下端外縁部分が後述する規制突起76と重なり合っていると共に、下端内縁部分が規制突起76よりも内側に突出している。また、圧接部58の下端部に設けられた返し部63が端子装着溝62の底面に係止されることで、圧接端子56の上方への抜けが防止されている。更に、分岐部位59の外側辺縁部61と端子装着溝62の底面との間に隙間が形成されており、分岐部位59の幅方向外側への微小な弾性変形が許容されている。   The press contact terminal 56 is press-fitted and fixed to the terminal mounting region 69 in a direction in which the thickness direction is substantially orthogonal to the opposing direction of the pair of support protrusions 60, 60. More specifically, an intermediate portion of the press contact terminal 56 is press-fitted into the terminal mounting hole 64, and each branch portion 59 of the bifurcated press contact portion 58 is press-fitted into the terminal mounting groove 62 at the outer edge in the opposite direction. Thus, the press contact terminal 56 is fixed to the wiring insulating plate 10. Further, the opposing edge portion 71 on the inner side in the opposing direction of each branch portion 59 protrudes inward in the opposing direction from the opening of the terminal mounting groove 62. Note that the pressure contact portion 58 extends below a wire arrangement region 84 described later, and a lower end outer edge portion of the pressure contact portion 58 in a projection in the length direction of the coated single core wire 70 described later is a regulation protrusion 76 described later. And the inner edge portion of the lower end protrudes inward from the restricting protrusion 76. Further, the return portion 63 provided at the lower end portion of the press contact portion 58 is locked to the bottom surface of the terminal mounting groove 62, so that the press contact terminal 56 is prevented from coming off upward. Further, a gap is formed between the outer side edge 61 of the branch part 59 and the bottom surface of the terminal mounting groove 62, and minute elastic deformation of the branch part 59 outward in the width direction is allowed.

また、回路体18を構成する布線絶縁板10上に形成された布線領域54には、電線としての被覆単芯線70が布線されている。被覆単芯線70は、銅等の導電性金属材料で形成された芯材72の外周面を軟質ポリ塩化ビニル等の絶縁体で形成された絶縁被覆材74によって被覆した電線であって、布線絶縁板10上に布線されている。この被覆単芯線70は、図5〜図10に示されているように、圧接端子56の圧接部58に嵌め込まれることで、各分岐部位59の対向辺縁部71によって絶縁被覆材74が部分的に剥がされて、圧接端子56に対して導通されている。これにより、圧接端子56間や圧接端子56と外部の電装部品等の間が、被覆単芯線70を介して電気的に接続されている。なお、図中では、被覆単芯線70の一部のみを図示し、全体の図示が省略されている。   A covered single core wire 70 as an electric wire is wired in the wiring region 54 formed on the wiring insulating plate 10 constituting the circuit body 18. The coated single core wire 70 is an electric wire in which an outer peripheral surface of a core material 72 formed of a conductive metal material such as copper is covered with an insulating coating material 74 formed of an insulator such as soft polyvinyl chloride. It is wired on the insulating plate 10. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 10, the coated single core wire 70 is fitted into the pressure contact portion 58 of the pressure contact terminal 56, so that the insulating coating material 74 is partially formed by the opposing edge portion 71 of each branch portion 59. And is electrically connected to the press contact terminal 56. As a result, the pressure contact terminals 56 and the pressure contact terminals 56 and external electrical components and the like are electrically connected via the coated single core wire 70. In the drawing, only a part of the coated single core wire 70 is shown, and the entire illustration is omitted.

そして、バスバー絶縁板44が布線絶縁板10に対して上方から板厚方向で重ね合わされることにより、回路体18が形成されている。なお、バスバー絶縁板44は、布線絶縁板10に対して部分的に重ね合わされており、布線絶縁板10に突設された圧接端子56の幾つかが、バスバー絶縁板44に形成された図示しない挿通孔を通じて、バスバー絶縁板44よりも上方に突出している。   The bus bar insulating plate 44 is superimposed on the wiring insulating plate 10 from above in the plate thickness direction, whereby the circuit body 18 is formed. The bus bar insulating plate 44 is partially overlapped with the wiring insulating plate 10, and some of the press contact terminals 56 protruding from the wiring insulating plate 10 are formed on the bus bar insulating plate 44. It protrudes above the bus bar insulating plate 44 through an insertion hole (not shown).

このような構造とされた回路体18は、圧接端子56の突出先端側である表面側からアッパケース14が重ね合わされると共に、圧接端子56の基端側である裏面側からロアケース16が重ね合わされることにより、アッパケース14とロアケース16の間に挟み込まれて収容空間42に収容されている。また、バスバー50の端子部52および圧接端子56は、幾つかがアッパケース14に形成された端子挿入孔24に挿入されて外部に露出していると共に、他の幾つかがアッパケース14に形成された端子挿通孔28を通じてアッパケース14を貫通して外部に突出している。これにより、ヒューズやリレーの取付部および外部電線を接続される接続用コネクタが形成されている。   In the circuit body 18 having such a structure, the upper case 14 is overlapped from the front surface side which is the protruding tip end side of the press contact terminal 56 and the lower case 16 is overlapped from the back side which is the base end side of the press contact terminal 56. As a result, it is sandwiched between the upper case 14 and the lower case 16 and accommodated in the accommodating space 42. Also, some of the terminal portions 52 and the press contact terminals 56 of the bus bar 50 are inserted into the terminal insertion holes 24 formed in the upper case 14 and exposed to the outside, and the other several are formed in the upper case 14. The upper case 14 passes through the terminal insertion hole 28 and protrudes to the outside. As a result, a connection connector for connecting the mounting portion of the fuse and the relay and the external electric wire is formed.

また、回路体18は、その外周部分やガイド突起55の形成部分が、アッパケース14およびロアケース16に接触していることによって、厚さ方向で位置決め支持されている。更に、回路体18は、その外周部分がアッパケース14に接触していることにより面に略平行な方向で位置決めされている。   Further, the circuit body 18 is positioned and supported in the thickness direction by the outer peripheral portion thereof and the portion where the guide protrusion 55 is formed being in contact with the upper case 14 and the lower case 16. Further, the circuit body 18 is positioned in a direction substantially parallel to the surface because the outer peripheral portion thereof is in contact with the upper case 14.

また、回路体18を構成する布線絶縁板10には、被覆単芯線70を所定の位置に保持するための機構が設けられている。即ち、布線絶縁板10の支持突部60には、図4〜10に示されているように、被覆単芯線70の変位を制限する規制突起76と位置決めリブ78が形成されている。   Further, the wiring insulating plate 10 constituting the circuit body 18 is provided with a mechanism for holding the coated single core wire 70 in a predetermined position. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 10, a restriction protrusion 76 and a positioning rib 78 that restrict the displacement of the coated single core wire 70 are formed on the support protrusion 60 of the wiring insulating plate 10.

規制突起76は、相互に対向する一対の支持突部60,60の対向面に設けられた凸条であって、それら一対の支持突部60,60の対向方向内側に突出するように一体形成されている。また、規制突起76は、支持突部60の突出方向中間部分から下方に向かって直線的に延びている。   The restricting protrusion 76 is a protrusion provided on the opposing surfaces of the pair of support protrusions 60, 60 that are opposed to each other, and is integrally formed so as to protrude inward in the opposing direction of the pair of support protrusions 60, 60 Has been. Further, the restricting protrusion 76 linearly extends downward from the intermediate portion of the supporting protrusion 60 in the protruding direction.

さらに、規制突起76の少なくとも下端部分は、下方に向かって次第に突出高さが小さくなるテーパ形状とされており、当該部位における突出先端面が他の部位における突出先端面に対して傾斜したガイド面80とされている。なお、規制突起76は、ガイド面80を外れた部位において略一定の突出高さで上下に延びている。   Further, at least the lower end portion of the restricting projection 76 has a tapered shape in which the protruding height gradually decreases downward, and the protruding tip surface in the portion is inclined with respect to the protruding tip surface in the other portion. 80. The restricting protrusion 76 extends vertically at a substantially constant protruding height at a portion off the guide surface 80.

更にまた、規制突起76の上端面は、略平坦な当接保持面82とされている。当接保持面82は、布線絶縁板10において被覆単芯線70を支持する部位よりも下方に離隔位置しており、それら当接保持面82と被覆単芯線70の支持部位との間に電線配設領域84が形成されている。   Furthermore, the upper end surface of the restricting protrusion 76 is a substantially flat contact holding surface 82. The contact holding surface 82 is spaced below the portion of the wiring insulation plate 10 that supports the coated single core wire 70, and the electric wire is between the contact holding surface 82 and the support portion of the coated single core wire 70. An arrangement region 84 is formed.

また、規制突起76の当接保持面82と突出先端面は、それらの接続部分において角部86を成しており、図10に示された角部86の角度:θが0°<θ≦90°の範囲に設定されていることが望ましい。尤も、角部86が90°よりも僅かに大きい鈍角であったとしても、後述する被覆単芯線70の抜止め効果に大きな影響はなく、本実施形態では角部86の角度:θが略90°に設定されている。   Further, the contact holding surface 82 and the projecting tip surface of the restricting projection 76 form a corner 86 at the connecting portion, and the angle of the corner 86 shown in FIG. 10: θ is 0 ° <θ ≦. It is desirable that the angle is set in the range of 90 °. However, even if the corner 86 has an obtuse angle slightly larger than 90 °, there is no significant influence on the effect of preventing the covered single core wire 70 described later, and in this embodiment, the angle 86 of the corner 86 is approximately 90. Set to °.

また、規制突起76は、各支持突部60に2つずつ形成されており、各支持突部60に形成された一対の規制突起76,76が被覆単芯線70の長さ方向(図7中、左右)に所定距離だけ離隔して配置されている。更に、各支持突部60に形成された一対の規制突起76,76は、被覆単芯線70における圧接端子56への圧接部位を長さ方向に挟んだ両側に配置されている。   Further, two restricting protrusions 76 are formed on each support protrusion 60, and the pair of restricting protrusions 76, 76 formed on each support protrusion 60 are in the length direction of the coated single core wire 70 (in FIG. 7). , Left and right) are separated by a predetermined distance. Further, the pair of restricting protrusions 76, 76 formed on each support protrusion 60 are disposed on both sides of the covered single core wire 70 with the press contact portion to the press contact terminal 56 sandwiched in the length direction.

また、一対の支持突部60,60にそれぞれ形成された規制突起76は、被覆単芯線70の幅方向で対向するように配置されている。これにより、対向する一組の規制突起76,76の突出先端面間が、一対の支持突部60,60の対向間距離に比べて狭窄されている。そして、規制突起76のガイド面80を外れた部位における突出先端面間の距離:d1 は、被覆単芯線70の直径:Rよりも小さく設定されていると共に、被覆単芯線70の芯材72の直径:rよりも大きく設定されている。また、対向する一組の規制突起76,76のガイド面80下端における離隔距離:Dは、被覆単芯線70の直径:Rよりも大きく設定されている。 In addition, the restricting protrusions 76 formed on the pair of support protrusions 60 and 60 are disposed so as to face each other in the width direction of the coated single core wire 70. As a result, the distance between the protruding front end surfaces of the pair of opposing regulating protrusions 76 and 76 is narrowed compared to the distance between the pair of supporting protrusions 60 and 60. The distance d 1 between the protruding tip surfaces of the restricting protrusion 76 at the part off the guide surface 80 is set to be smaller than the diameter R of the coated single core wire 70 and the core material 72 of the coated single core wire 70. Diameter: set larger than r. Further, the separation distance D at the lower end of the guide surface 80 of the pair of opposing regulation protrusions 76 is set to be larger than the diameter R of the coated single core wire 70.

また、支持突部60において規制突起76の上側には、位置決めリブ78が形成されている。位置決めリブ78は、規制突起76の延長線上を上下方向で直線的に延びる凸条であって、対向する一対の支持突部60,60の対向方向内側に向かって突出している。また、位置決めリブ78は、規制突起76に比べて突出高さ寸法および幅寸法が小さくされている。   Further, a positioning rib 78 is formed on the support protrusion 60 above the restriction protrusion 76. The positioning rib 78 is a ridge that linearly extends in the up-down direction on the extension line of the restricting protrusion 76, and protrudes inward in the opposing direction of the pair of opposing support protrusions 60, 60. Further, the positioning rib 78 has a projecting height dimension and a width dimension smaller than those of the restricting projection 76.

また、被覆単芯線70の幅方向で対向する一組の位置決めリブ78,78の突出先端面間の距離:d2 が、同方向における一組の規制突起76,76の突出先端面間の距離:d1 よりも大きく設定されていると共に、被覆単芯線70の直径:Rと同じかそれよりも小さく設定されている。 The distance d 2 between the protruding tip surfaces of the pair of positioning ribs 78, 78 facing each other in the width direction of the coated single core wire 70 is the distance between the protruding tip surfaces of the pair of regulating projections 76, 76 in the same direction. : Is set to be larger than d 1 and the diameter of the coated single core wire 70 is set to be equal to or smaller than R.

このような規制突起76および位置決めリブ78を一体的に備えた一対の支持突部60,60の対向面間に、被覆単芯線70が挿入されている。より詳細には、被覆単芯線70は、規制突起76のガイド面80で案内されて、一対の支持突部60,60の突出先端側から一組の規制突起76,76の間を通って電線配設領域84に挿通される。そして、被覆単芯線70は、規制突起76よりも上方において一組の位置決めリブ78,78の間で挟持されて、幅方向に位置決めされている。   A covered single core wire 70 is inserted between the opposing surfaces of the pair of support protrusions 60, 60 integrally including the regulation protrusion 76 and the positioning rib 78. More specifically, the coated single core wire 70 is guided by the guide surface 80 of the restricting protrusion 76, and passes through between the pair of restricting protrusions 76, 76 from the protruding tip side of the pair of supporting protrusions 60, 60. It is inserted into the arrangement area 84. The coated single core wire 70 is sandwiched between the pair of positioning ribs 78 and 78 above the restricting protrusion 76 and positioned in the width direction.

なお、電線配設領域84は、規制突起76の当接保持面82と、布線絶縁板10における被覆単芯線70の保持部位との離隔距離が、被覆単芯線70の直径よりも大きく設定されている。そして、被覆単芯線70は、当接保持面82に対して上方に離隔して或いは接触した状態で電線配設領域84に挿通されて、電線配設領域84内で圧接端子56に圧接されている。これにより、被覆単芯線70の圧接端子56への圧接点が製造誤差等によって上下方向でばらつきを生じる場合にも、被覆単芯線70が規制突起76よりも上側の電線配設領域84に配設されるようになっている。本実施形態では、図10に示されているように、被覆単芯線70が、当接保持面82と布線絶縁板10における保持部位の何れからも離隔して配設されており、圧接点の上方へのずれだけでなく下方へのずれも許容されている。   In the electric wire arrangement region 84, the separation distance between the contact holding surface 82 of the regulation protrusion 76 and the holding portion of the coated single core wire 70 in the wiring insulating plate 10 is set larger than the diameter of the coated single core wire 70. ing. Then, the coated single core wire 70 is inserted into the electric wire arrangement region 84 while being separated upward or in contact with the contact holding surface 82, and is pressed against the press contact terminal 56 in the electric wire arrangement region 84. Yes. As a result, even when the pressure contact of the coated single core wire 70 to the pressure contact terminal 56 varies in the vertical direction due to a manufacturing error or the like, the coated single core wire 70 is arranged in the electric wire arrangement region 84 above the restriction projection 76. It has come to be. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the coated single core wire 70 is disposed away from both the contact holding surface 82 and the holding portion of the wiring insulating plate 10, and the pressure contact In addition to the upward shift, the downward shift is allowed.

かくの如き布線絶縁板10への布線状態において、被覆単芯線70は、規制突起76によって電線配設領域84からの抜けが防止されている。即ち、被覆単芯線70の布線後に行われる組付け作業等による振動や、自動車の走行による振動が入力されることで、被覆単芯線70が支持突部60に対して相対的な抜け方向に変位すると、被覆単芯線70が規制突起76の当接保持面82に押し当てられる。これにより、被覆単芯線70と支持突部60の抜出方向への相対変位が規制突起76によって制限されて、被覆単芯線70が電線配設領域84から抜け出すのを防止できるようになっている。その結果、被覆単芯線70と圧接端子56が目的とする圧接状態に保持されて、それら被覆単芯線70と圧接端子56の電気的な接続が安定して維持されるようになっている。   In such a state of wiring to the wiring insulating plate 10, the covered single core wire 70 is prevented from coming off from the electric wire arrangement region 84 by the restriction protrusion 76. That is, when the vibration due to the assembling work performed after the wiring of the coated single core wire 70 or the vibration due to the traveling of the automobile is input, the coated single core wire 70 is in a relative pulling direction with respect to the support protrusion 60. When displaced, the coated single core wire 70 is pressed against the contact holding surface 82 of the restricting protrusion 76. As a result, the relative displacement of the coated single core wire 70 and the support protrusion 60 in the extraction direction is limited by the restricting protrusion 76, and the coated single core wire 70 can be prevented from coming out of the electric wire arrangement region 84. . As a result, the coated single core wire 70 and the press contact terminal 56 are held in the intended press contact state, and the electrical connection between the coated single core wire 70 and the press contact terminal 56 is stably maintained.

しかも、被覆単芯線70の抜けを防止する規制突起76が、布線絶縁板10に設けられていることから、ロアケース16に被覆単芯線70を押えるための突起をロアケース16に設ける必要がなく、ロアケース16の形状を単純化することが出来る。その結果、ロアケース16の製造容易化や軽量化,低コスト化等の優れた効果を得ることが出来る。   Moreover, since the regulation protrusion 76 for preventing the coated single core wire 70 from coming off is provided on the wiring insulating plate 10, it is not necessary to provide the lower case 16 with a projection for pressing the coated single core wire 70 on the lower case 16. The shape of the lower case 16 can be simplified. As a result, excellent effects such as ease of manufacture of the lower case 16, weight reduction, and cost reduction can be obtained.

さらに、一対の支持突部60,60にそれぞれ設けられた規制突起76が被覆単芯線70の幅方向で互いに対向して配置されている。これにより、被覆単芯線70の幅方向両端部が規制突起76の当接保持面82に押し当てられて、被覆単芯線70の抜けが効果的に防止される。   Further, the restriction protrusions 76 provided on the pair of support protrusions 60, 60 are arranged to face each other in the width direction of the coated single core wire 70. As a result, both end portions in the width direction of the coated single core wire 70 are pressed against the abutment holding surfaces 82 of the restricting protrusions 76, and the removal of the coated single core wire 70 is effectively prevented.

加えて、各支持突部60には、被覆単芯線70の長さ方向に離隔する2つの規制突起76が設けられている。それ故、被覆単芯線70が長さ方向の2箇所を規制突起76によって押えられて、被覆単芯線70の抜けがより有利に防がれる。   In addition, each support protrusion 60 is provided with two restricting protrusions 76 that are separated in the length direction of the coated single core wire 70. Therefore, the coated single core wire 70 is pressed by the restricting projections 76 at two locations in the length direction, and the removal of the coated single core wire 70 is more advantageously prevented.

更にまた、規制突起76の突出先端面と当接保持面82の交差部分に角部86が形成されている。これにより、被覆単芯線70が当接保持面82に押し付けられる際に、角部86が被覆単芯線70を対向する規制突起76,76の対向間に案内することなく食い止めて、被覆単芯線70の入り込みによって規制突起76の突出先端面間の距離が押し広げられるのを防ぐことが出来る。特に、角部86の角度:θが略90°に設定されることにより、当接保持面82と被覆単芯線70が安定して当接して、被覆単芯線70の抜けがより優れた信頼性をもって防止される。   Furthermore, a corner 86 is formed at the intersection of the protruding tip surface of the restricting protrusion 76 and the contact holding surface 82. As a result, when the coated single core wire 70 is pressed against the abutment holding surface 82, the corner portion 86 stops the coated single core wire 70 without being guided between the opposing regulation protrusions 76, 76, and the coated single core wire 70. It is possible to prevent the distance between the projecting tip surfaces of the regulation projections 76 from being pushed and expanded by the entry of. In particular, by setting the angle 86 of the corner portion 86 to approximately 90 °, the contact holding surface 82 and the coated single core wire 70 are in stable contact with each other, and the coated single core wire 70 is more excellently disconnected. Is prevented.

また、被覆単芯線70の幅方向両側に位置決めリブ78が突出形成されていることにより、被覆単芯線70が幅方向で所定の位置に配設されて、被覆単芯線70と圧接端子56が正しい接続状態に保持されるようになっている。しかも、各規制突起76の下方にそれぞれ位置決めリブ78が形成されていることから、被覆単芯線70は被覆単芯線70の圧接部位を挟んだ長さ方向の2箇所において位置決めリブ78で位置決めされている。それ故、圧接端子56への圧接部位において被覆単芯線70が効率的に位置決めされて、それら圧接端子56と被覆単芯線70の正常な圧接が実現される。加えて、規制突起76と位置決めリブ78を上下に配することにより、被覆単芯線70の長さ方向で規制突起76と位置決めリブ78の形成スペースを効率的に確保することが出来て、同方向における支持突部60の大型化を防止できる。   Further, since the positioning ribs 78 are formed so as to protrude on both sides of the coated single core wire 70 in the width direction, the coated single core wire 70 is disposed at a predetermined position in the width direction, and the coated single core wire 70 and the press contact terminal 56 are correct. The connection state is maintained. In addition, since the positioning ribs 78 are formed below the restricting projections 76, the coated single core wire 70 is positioned by the positioning ribs 78 at two locations in the length direction across the press contact portion of the coated single core wire 70. Yes. Therefore, the covered single core wire 70 is efficiently positioned at the press contact portion to the press contact terminal 56, and normal press contact between the press contact terminal 56 and the covered single core wire 70 is realized. In addition, by arranging the restricting protrusion 76 and the positioning rib 78 vertically, it is possible to efficiently secure a space for forming the restricting protrusion 76 and the positioning rib 78 in the length direction of the coated single core wire 70, and in the same direction. The increase in size of the support protrusion 60 can be prevented.

以上、本発明の実施形態について詳述してきたが、本発明はその具体的な記載によって限定されない。例えば、規制突起76は、一対の支持突部60,60にそれぞれ1つ以上が形成されていれば良く、被覆単芯線70の長さ方向で圧接端子56の片側だけに設けられていても良い。勿論、片方の支持突部60に3つ以上の規制突起76を形成することも可能であり、被覆単芯線70の抜けをより強固に防止することが出来る。   As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited by the specific description. For example, one or more restricting protrusions 76 may be formed on the pair of support protrusions 60, 60, and may be provided only on one side of the press contact terminal 56 in the length direction of the coated single core wire 70. . Of course, it is also possible to form three or more restricting protrusions 76 on one of the support protrusions 60, and the covering single core wire 70 can be more securely prevented.

また、一対の支持突部60,60に形成された規制突起76は、必ずしも被覆単芯線70の幅方向で対向している必要はなく、例えば、被覆単芯線70の長さ方向で互いにずれた位置に形成されていても良い。なお、このような場合において、規制突起76の突出先端面間の隙間寸法とは、被覆単芯線70の幅方向における規制突起76の突出先端面間の離隔距離を言う。   Further, the restricting protrusions 76 formed on the pair of support protrusions 60 and 60 do not necessarily have to face each other in the width direction of the coated single core wire 70, for example, are shifted from each other in the length direction of the coated single core wire 70. It may be formed at a position. In such a case, the gap dimension between the protruding tip surfaces of the restricting protrusions 76 refers to the separation distance between the protruding tip surfaces of the restricting protrusions 76 in the width direction of the coated single core wire 70.

また、規制突起76の当接保持面82は、規制突起76の突出先端面との間に角部が形成される形状であれば良く、被覆単芯線70の抜け方向に略直交する平坦面や、部分的な凸部や凹部,折れ線等を有する異形面等も採用され得る。更に、規制突起76における当接保持面82と突出先端面の境界に形成された角部を鋭角とすることで、角部の絶縁被覆材74への食い込みによる抜止め効果を期待することも出来る。   Further, the abutment holding surface 82 of the restriction projection 76 may have a shape in which a corner is formed between the protruding tip surface of the restriction projection 76, and may be a flat surface that is substantially orthogonal to the direction in which the coated single core wire 70 is pulled out. Also, a deformed surface having a partial convex portion, a concave portion, a broken line, or the like may be employed. Further, by making the corner portion formed at the boundary between the contact holding surface 82 and the projecting tip surface of the regulation projection 76 an acute angle, it is possible to expect the effect of preventing the corner portion from biting into the insulating coating material 74. .

また、規制突起や位置決めリブは、断面形状が変化する構造を採用することも出来て、例えば突出高さを上下方向で変化させても良い。   Further, the restricting projection and the positioning rib can adopt a structure whose cross-sectional shape changes, and for example, the protruding height may be changed in the vertical direction.

また、規制突起76と位置決めリブ78は、上下方向で連続的に形成されることなく、被覆単芯線70の長さ方向でずれた位置に形成されていても良い。   Further, the regulation protrusion 76 and the positioning rib 78 may be formed at positions shifted in the length direction of the coated single core wire 70 without being continuously formed in the vertical direction.
