  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, the pair of locking portions are arranged so as to sandwich the hinge portion in the axial direction of the virtual swing shaft. It has a characteristic where it exists.

<Invention of Claim 1>
If you lock the locking part on the cover body side and the locking part on the lid side and hold the lid part in the open position, the lid part will not get in the way when bolting the terminal fitting and equipment, Workability can be improved.

  Further, as the positional relationship with the cover body when the lid is in the open position, a form in which the lid is substantially perpendicular to the cover body is conceivable. When either one of the locking part or the locking part of the lid part is arranged at a position far from the hinge part, the locking part near the hinge part is changed to the locking part far from the hinge part. It is necessary to make the form greatly extended. In this case, since the latching portion protrudes greatly from the cover with the lid portion closed, there is a concern that the latching portion may be damaged by interference of other members. In that respect, in the present invention, both the locking portion on the cover main body side and the locking portion on the lid portion side are arranged in the vicinity of the hinge portion, so that the locking portion does not have to protrude greatly from the cover. .

<Invention of Claim 2>
Since the engaging portion protruding from the outer surface substantially parallel to the virtual swing axis in the cover main body or the lid is connected to the reinforcing portion formed on the side surface substantially perpendicular to the virtual swing shaft in the cover, the strength is increased. ing. Thereby, the reliability of the locking function by the locking portion is improved, and the lid portion can be reliably held in the open position.

<Invention of Claim 3>
Since the projecting dimension from the side surface of the reinforcing part is suppressed to the same or smaller dimension than the projecting dimension from the side surface of the lock part, it is possible to avoid an increase in the size of the cover in the axial direction of the virtual swing shaft. it can.

<Invention of Claim 4>

There is a concern that the lid may be displaced to the open position due to the above. In that respect, in the present invention, since the projection-like locking portion is provided on the cover body side and the locking portion on the lid side is recessed, the lid portion can be displaced to the open position by the interference of foreign matter. Can be prevented.

<Invention of Claim 5>
In the structure in which a pair of hinge portions are arranged on both sides of one locking portion in the axial direction of the virtual swinging shaft, the locking portion has only one locking portion, so the reliability of the locking function is reduced. There is a concern, and since the rigidity of the hinge portion is reduced due to a decrease in the width of one hinge portion, there is a concern that the posture of the lid portion becomes unstable.

  In contrast, according to the present invention, since the pair of locking portions are arranged so as to sandwich the hinge portion, the locking portions can be locked at two locations, and the locking function is highly reliable. In addition, since the width dimension of one hinge portion is increased and the rigidity of the hinge portion is improved, the posture of the lid portion can be stabilized.

The second member 32 includes a receiving portion 36 that is elongated in the front-rear direction and a holding portion 37 that extends downward from the front end of the receiving portion 36 at a right angle. The holding portion 37 is formed with a through hole 38 penetrating in the front-rear direction. When the first member 31 and the second member 32 are combined, the cover portion 33 and the receiving portion 36 constitute a cylindrical cover body 39 that penetrates in the front-rear direction. The lid part 35 is connected to the front end of the cover body 39 via a hinge part 34.

  The hinge portion 34 is connected to the front end edge of the cover portion 33 (cover body 39) and the rear end edge of the lid portion 35, is elongated and thin in the left-right direction (width direction), and has a substantially arc shape when viewed from the side. It has a curved shape. The formation region of the hinge portion 34 in the left-right direction (width direction) is a region excluding the left and right end portions of the cover portion 33 and the lid portion 35. The hinge portion 34 can be elastically bent while changing its curvature, and by causing the hinge portion 34 to bend elastically, the lid portion 35 is a virtual swing axis in the left-right direction (width direction). About A between the closed position (see the broken line in FIG. 1, see FIGS. 6 and 7) and the open position (see the imaginary line in FIG. 1, see FIGS. 4 and 5) with respect to the cover body 39. It can be swung so as to reverse within a range of 180 °. The virtual swing axis A is an axis that is virtually set to represent the swing center of the lid portion 35 and passes through the vicinity of the hinge portion 34.

  The lid portion 35 displaced to the closing position extends from the front end edge of the cover body 39 downward at a right angle with respect to the cover body 39, and overlaps the front surface of the holding portion 37 to close the through hole 38 from the front. Thereby, the bolting part (connection part) of the apparatus connection part 22 of the terminal metal fitting 20 and the terminal part 4 of the apparatus 2 is covered. Further, the lid portion 35 displaced to the open position has a form extending from the front end edge of the cover main body 39 upward at a right angle to the cover main body 39. When the lid portion 35 is in the open position, the front surfaces of the holding portion 37 and the through hole 38 are opened, and the bolted portions (connection portions) between the device connection portion 22 of the terminal fitting 20 and the terminal portion 4 of the device 2 are exposed. It becomes a state.

  A plurality of lock claws 40 (lock portions which are constituent elements of the present invention) spaced apart in the front-rear direction are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the cover portion 33 perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A. The lock claw 40 has a form protruding outward from the side surface of the cover portion 33. Further, lock claws 40 (lock portions which are constituent elements of the present invention) are also formed on both left and right side surfaces of the lid portion 35 perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A. The lock claw 40 also has a form protruding outward from the side surface of the cover portion 33.

  A plurality of lock protrusions 41 (lock portions which are constituent elements of the present invention) spaced apart in the front-rear direction are formed on the left and right side surfaces perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A in the receiving portion 36. The lock protrusion 41 protrudes outward from the side surface of the cover portion 33. In addition, lock protrusions 41 (lock portions which are constituent elements of the present invention) are also formed on both left and right side surfaces of the holding portion 37 that are perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A. The lock protrusion 41 also has a form protruding outward from the side surface of the cover portion 33.

  The cover portion 33 constituting the cover body 39 has a locking protrusion 42 (a locking portion which is a constituent element of the present invention) protruding upward from an outer surface (upper surface) substantially parallel to the virtual swing axis A. A pair of left and right is formed. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the pair of locking protrusions 42 are disposed in the vicinity of the hinge portion 34 in the front-rear direction (direction perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A). Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the pair of locking projections 42 are positioned so as to sandwich the hinge portion 34 from the left and right in the left-right direction (the direction parallel to the virtual swing axis A). 34 is arranged in the vicinity of 34.

  The front surface of the locking projection 42 is a guide surface 43 that is inclined with respect to a displacement direction (substantially front-rear direction) when the lid portion 35 swings in a region close to the open position. On the other hand, the rear surface of the locking projection 42 is a locking surface 44 that is substantially perpendicular to the displacement direction (substantially front-rear direction) when the lid 35 swings in a region close to the open position.

  The cover portion 33 is formed with a pair of left and right reinforcing portions 45 that protrude outward from the left and right side surfaces perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A. The projecting dimension of the reinforcing portion 45 from the side surface in the left-right direction is the same as that of the lock claw 40 and the lock protrusion 41. The vertical formation region of the reinforcing portion 45 extends from a position slightly lower than the outer surface of the cover portion 33 to a position higher than the outer surface. And the protrusion dimension to the upper direction of the reinforcement part 45 from the outer surface is the same dimension as the protrusion dimension of the latching protrusion 42 from an outer surface. The reinforcing portion 45 is disposed at the same position as the locking projection 42 in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the part which protruded from the outer surface among the reinforcement parts 45 continues to the latching protrusion 42, and the latching protrusion 42 becomes a form which continued to the reinforcement part 45 over the whole area | region in the up-down direction.

  The lid portion 35 is formed with a pair of left and right recess portions 46 (a locking portion which is a constituent feature of the present invention) in which the left and right side surfaces perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A are partially recessed. The pair of concave portions 46 are disposed in the vicinity of the hinge portion 34 in the vertical or front-rear direction perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A. The pair of recesses 46 are disposed at positions near the hinge 34 so as to sandwich the hinge 34 from the left and right in the left-right direction (direction parallel to the virtual swing axis A). The concave portion 46 is open forward and downward in a state where the lid portion 35 is in the open position, and has a shape that is vertically long when viewed from the side. Moreover, the recessed part 46 becomes a form which was notched and communicated from the outer side surface of the cover part 35 to the inner side surface.

  The terminal fitting 20 that has been connected to the electric wire 10 is assembled to the cover 30 simultaneously with the operation of combining the first member 31 and the second member 32. In the assembled state, the terminal main body 21 is sandwiched vertically between the cover portion 33 and the receiving portion 36 (at right angles to the virtual swing axis A), and within the cover 30, the terminal fitting 20 is relative to the vertical direction. The displacement and the tilt in the front / rear / left / right direction are held in a regulated state. When the first member 31 and the second member 32 are combined, the front end portion of the corrugated tube 27 is sandwiched between the receiving portion 36 and the cover portion 33, and the relative movement in the axial direction and the relative movement in the vertical and horizontal directions are performed. The movement is restricted and held by the cover 30. An attachment member 28 is fitted on the front end portion of the corrugated tube 27 at a position where it does not interfere with the cover 30.

  In the state where the first member 31 and the second member 32 are combined, the lock claw 40 and the lock projection 41 are locked, whereby the first member 31 and the second member 32 are locked in the combined state, and the cover main body 39 The form is retained. On the other hand, the locking claw 40 of the lid part 35 and the locking projection 41 of the holding part 37 are released from each other when the lid part 35 is in the open position, but when the lid part 35 is in the closed position, When the claw 40 and the lock protrusion 41 are engaged, the lid portion 35 is united with the holding portion 37 and locked in the closed state.

  Thus, after the terminal fitting 20 is accommodated in the cover 30, the corrugated tube 27 is attached to the cover 30, and the attachment member 28 is attached to the corrugated tube 27, the bolts penetrating through the attachment holes 29 of the attachment member 28 (see FIG. The mounting member 28 is fixed to the support base 3 by screwing (not shown). As a result, the rear end portion of the cover 30 is supported by the support base 3 via the corrugated tube 27 and the attachment member 28.

  Thereafter, the terminal fitting 20 is connected to the terminal portion 4 of the device 2. At the time of connection, the bolt 5 is connected from the front of the holding portion 37 in a state where the device connecting portion 22 is brought into contact with the terminal portion 4 from the front and the lid portion 35 is retracted to the open position above the holding portion 37. Screw into the terminal portion 4 through the hole 24. As a result, the front end portion (device connection portion 22) of the terminal fitting 20 is fixed to the terminal portion 4 so as to be conductive in a state where movement is restricted.

  In the process of swinging the lid portion 35 to the open position, the right and left side edges of the lid portion 35 abut on the guide surfaces 43 of the pair of locking projections 42, and thereafter, the lid portion 35 moves on the guide surface 43. While sliding, the pair of locking projections 42 is elastically bent so as to be separated from each other. When the lid 35 reaches the open position, the locking projection 42 is elastically restored and locked to the recess 46, and the recess 46 comes into contact with the locking surface 44 of the locking projection 42 from the rear, The lid 35 is held in a state in which swinging to the closed position side (forward) is restricted.

  After the terminal fitting 20 is connected to the device 2, a pressing force exceeding the locking force between the locking protrusion 42 and the recess 46 is applied to the lid 35 from the rear, and the lid 35 is swung to the closed position side. . When the lid 35 swings, the locking protrusions 42 are elastically bent in a direction in which they are temporarily separated from each other. When the lid portion 35 is reversed and reaches the closing position, the opening (through hole 38) on the front surface of the holding portion 37 is closed by the lid portion 35, and the lock claw 40 of the lid portion 35 is locked by the lock protrusion 41 of the holding portion 37. The lid portion 35 is locked at the closed position by being engaged with. Thereby, the connection part (bolt fastening part) of the apparatus connection part 22 and the terminal part 4 is covered with the cover part 35, and is protected from the interference of a foreign material, etc.

  In the present embodiment, when the lid 35 is oscillated and displaced to the open position, the concave portion 46 of the lid 35 is engaged with the engagement protrusion 42 of the cover main body 39, whereby the lid 35 is held at the open position. I did it. Since the lid portion 35 can be held in the open position, the lid portion 35 is not obstructed when the terminal fitting 20 and the device 2 are bolted together, thereby improving workability. Can be made.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lid portion 35 when in the open position has a form that is substantially perpendicular to the cover body 39. In such a configuration, when the concave portion of the lid portion is arranged at a position far from the hinge portion, the locking projection of the cover main body is increased from the outer surface of the cover portion toward the concave portion. It needs to be extended. In this case, when the lid portion is closed, the locking projections are largely protruded from the cover, and there is a concern that the locking projections may be damaged due to interference of other members.

  In that respect, in the present embodiment, since both the locking projection 42 of the cover main body 39 and the recess 46 of the lid portion 35 are disposed in the vicinity of the hinge portion 34, the locking projection 42 protrudes greatly from the cover 30. You do n’t have to. Thereby, it can prevent that the latching protrusion 42 is damaged by interference with another member.

  In addition, since the locking protrusion 42 protruding upward at a right angle from the outer surface substantially parallel to the virtual swing axis A in the cover body 39 is disposed at a position close to the hinge portion 34 as described above, the protruding dimension can be suppressed small. However, as long as it is a protruding form, there is still concern about damage due to interference with other members. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reinforcing portion 45 connected to the locking protrusion 42 is formed on the side surface of the cover 30 that is substantially perpendicular to the virtual swing axis A. As a result, the locking projections 42 are increased in strength and the risk of damage due to interference of other members is eliminated, so that the reliability of the locking function by the locking projections 42 is improved and the lid portion 35 is secured. Can be held in the open position.

  Further, the projecting dimension from the side surface of the reinforcing portion 45 is suppressed to the same dimension as the projecting dimension from the side surface of the lock claw 40 and the lock protrusion 41 for locking the first member 31 and the second member 32 in the combined state. Therefore, it is possible to avoid an increase in the size of the cover 30 in the axial direction of the virtual swing axis A.

  Moreover, when it is set as the form which protruded the latching | locking part by the side of the lid | cover 35 among the latching | locking parts for hold | maintaining the lid | cover part 35 in an open position, the lid | cover part 35 is displaced to a closed position, and it is a terminal metal fitting. In the state where the connection portion between the device 20 and the device 2 is covered, there is a concern that foreign matter may interfere with the locking portion. When a foreign object interferes with the locking portion of the lid portion 35 and a pressing force toward the open position is applied to the lid portion 35, the lock claw 40 of the lid portion 35 comes from the lock protrusion 41 of the holding portion 37. There is a possibility that the lid portion 35 may be displaced to the open position. In view of this point, in the present embodiment, a locking protrusion 42 that is a protruding locking portion is formed not on the lid portion 35 but on the cover body 39, and the locking portion on the lid portion 35 side is recessed. It is set as the recessed part 46 of this. Thereby, it can prevent that the cover part 35 is displaced to an open position by interference of a foreign material.

  In addition, when a pair of hinge portions are arranged on both sides of one locking portion in the axial direction of the virtual swing axis A, there is only one locking portion between the locking portions. There is a concern that the reliability of the stop function will be reduced. Moreover, since the width dimension of one hinge part becomes small and the rigidity of a hinge part falls, there is also a concern that the attitude | position of a cover part may become unstable.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the pair of locking portions (the locking projections 42 and the recesses 46) are arranged so as to sandwich the hinge portion 34, so that the locking portions (the locking projections 42 and the recesses 46) are arranged. Can be locked at two locations, and the reliability of the locking function is excellent. Moreover, since the width dimension of one hinge part 34 is increased and the rigidity of the hinge part 34 is improved, the posture of the lid part 35 can be stabilized.
