Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wire harness capable of securing high cut-off performance.SOLUTION: Portions corresponding to the protrusions 15a, 15b of molds 13a, 13b in a coated crimp part 5a are strongly pushed in, and projecting strip parts 17a, 17b radially projecting inside are thereby formed. That is, the projecting strip parts 17a, 17b are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the coated crimp part 5a which are corresponding to recessed grooves 7a, 7b provided in the peripheral surface of the coated crimp part 5a. The positions of the protrusions 15a, 15b are deviated from each other in the longitudinal direction of the coated crimp part 5a. Therefore, the positions of the projecting strip parts 17a, 17b are deviated from each other in the upper and lower parts of a mating portion 9. Also, when the molds 13a, 13b are joined together, the protrusions 15a, 15b are never butted each other.

Description

本発明は自動車等に用いられるワイヤハーネス等に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a wire harness or the like used for an automobile or the like.

従来、自動車用ワイヤハーネスにおける電線と端子との接続は、オープンバレル型と呼ばれる端子で電線をかしめて圧着する圧着接合が一般的である。しかし、このようなワイヤハーネスでは、電線と端子の接続部分に水分等が付着してしまうと、電線に用いられる金属表面の酸化が進み、接合部における抵抗が増加してしまう。また電線と端子に用いられる金属が異なる場合、異種金属間腐食が進んでしまう。当該接続部分における金属材料の腐食の進行は、接続部分の割れや接触不良の原因となり、製品寿命への影響を免れない。特に近年では、電線をアルミニウム合金とし、端子を銅合金とするワイヤハーネスが実用化されつつあり、接合部の腐食の課題が顕著になってきている。   Conventionally, the connection between an electric wire and a terminal in an automotive wire harness is generally a crimp bonding in which the electric wire is crimped by a terminal called an open barrel type. However, in such a wire harness, when moisture or the like adheres to the connection portion between the electric wire and the terminal, the oxidation of the metal surface used for the electric wire proceeds, and the resistance at the joint increases. Moreover, when the metal used for an electric wire and a terminal differs, the corrosion between different metals will advance. The progress of the corrosion of the metal material in the connection portion causes cracks in the connection portion and contact failure, and thus cannot be affected by the product life. Particularly in recent years, wire harnesses in which the electric wires are made of an aluminum alloy and the terminals are made of a copper alloy are being put into practical use, and the problem of corrosion at the joints has become prominent.

ここで、例えばアルミニウムと銅のような異種金属の接触部分に水分が付着すると、腐食電位の違いから、いわゆる電食が発生する恐れがある。特に、アルミニウムと銅との電位差は大きいから、電気的に卑であるアルミニウム側の腐食が進行する。このため、導線と圧着端子との接続状態が不安定となり、接触抵抗の増加や線径の減少による電気抵抗の増大、さらには断線が生じて電装部品の誤動作、機能停止に至る恐れがある。   Here, if moisture adheres to a contact portion of different metals such as aluminum and copper, so-called galvanic corrosion may occur due to a difference in corrosion potential. In particular, since the potential difference between aluminum and copper is large, corrosion on the aluminum side, which is electrically base, proceeds. For this reason, the connection state between the conducting wire and the crimp terminal becomes unstable, and there is a possibility that the electrical resistance increases due to an increase in contact resistance or a decrease in the wire diameter, and further, disconnection occurs, leading to malfunction of the electrical component or a malfunction.

このような異種金属が接触するワイヤハーネスにおいて、例えば、一端閉塞型の筒状圧着部を有する端子を用い、この筒状圧着部内に電線の端部を挿入した後、該筒状圧着部をかしめ加工により圧着して、芯線端部を雨水や海水等の付着から保護する方法が提案されている(特許文献1)。   In such a wire harness that comes in contact with a dissimilar metal, for example, a terminal having a cylindrical crimping portion that is closed at one end is used, and after inserting the end of an electric wire into the cylindrical crimping portion, the cylindrical crimping portion is caulked. There has been proposed a method of protecting the end portion of the core wire from adhesion of rainwater, seawater or the like by pressure bonding by processing (Patent Document 1).

特開2006−331931号公報JP 2006-319331 A

しかし、特許文献1のように圧着部の端部を封止した際、被覆部と圧着部との密着性が十分でないと、圧着部から水が浸入する恐れがある。   However, when the end of the crimping part is sealed as in Patent Document 1, if the adhesion between the covering part and the crimping part is not sufficient, water may enter from the crimping part.

圧着部の密着性を高める方法としては、例えば、圧着部の内面に凸条部を形成し、被覆部を部分的に強く押圧する方法がある。このように凸条部を周方向に連続して形成すれば、止水性を高めることができると予測される。しかし、発明者らは、単に凸条部を圧着部の内面の全周に形成するのでは、必ずしも十分な止水性が確保できないことを見出した。   As a method for improving the adhesion of the crimping portion, for example, there is a method in which a protruding strip portion is formed on the inner surface of the crimping portion and the covering portion is partially pressed strongly. In this way, it is predicted that the water stoppage can be improved by forming the ridges continuously in the circumferential direction. However, the inventors have found that it is not always possible to ensure sufficient water stoppage by simply forming the ridges on the entire circumference of the inner surface of the crimping part.

図9(a)は、このような端子を圧着する状態を示す図である。圧着部105の一方の端部は封止部122で封止される。また、圧着部105の内部には、被覆導線123が挿入される。この状態で、互いに対向する金型113a、113bを近づけることで、圧着部105と被覆導線123(被覆部127および導線125)が圧着される。   FIG. 9A is a diagram showing a state in which such a terminal is crimped. One end of the crimping part 105 is sealed with a sealing part 122. In addition, a covered conductor 123 is inserted into the crimping part 105. In this state, the crimping part 105 and the covered conducting wire 123 (the covering part 127 and the conducting wire 125) are crimped by bringing the molds 113a and 113b facing each other closer.

この際、金型113a、113bの内面には、突起115a、115bがそれぞれ形成される。突起115a、115bは、金型113a、113bのそれぞれの周方向に連続して形成される。また、突起115a、115bは、被覆導線123の軸方向に対して同一の位置に設けられる。   At this time, protrusions 115a and 115b are formed on the inner surfaces of the molds 113a and 113b, respectively. The protrusions 115a and 115b are continuously formed in the respective circumferential directions of the molds 113a and 113b. Further, the protrusions 115 a and 115 b are provided at the same position with respect to the axial direction of the covered conducting wire 123.

突起115a、115bの位置では、圧着部105が強く押し込まれるため、圧着部105に凸条部117a、117bが形成される。凸条部117a、117bは、圧着部105の内面に突出する部位である。   At the positions of the protrusions 115 a and 115 b, the crimping part 105 is pushed in strongly, so that the protrusions 117 a and 117 b are formed in the crimping part 105. The ridges 117 a and 117 b are portions that protrude from the inner surface of the crimping part 105.

金型113a、113bを合わせた際に、突起115a、115bは周方向に連続する。したがって、凸条部117a、117bも、周方向に連続した環状に形成される。   When the molds 113a and 113b are put together, the protrusions 115a and 115b are continuous in the circumferential direction. Accordingly, the ridges 117a and 117b are also formed in an annular shape that is continuous in the circumferential direction.

ここで、金型113a、113bを合わせていくと、最終的な合わせ部109の部位で突起115a、115bが突き合わせられる。金型113a、113bを近づけていく段階では、突起115aによって、被覆部127は、下方に押し込まれる(図中X方向)。同様に、突起115bによって、被覆部127は、上方に押し込まれる(図中Y方向)。   Here, when the molds 113a and 113b are aligned, the protrusions 115a and 115b are abutted at the final matching portion 109. At the stage where the molds 113a and 113b are brought closer, the covering portion 127 is pushed downward by the projection 115a (X direction in the figure). Similarly, the covering portion 127 is pushed upward by the protrusion 115b (Y direction in the figure).

一方、金型113a、113bが合わさる瞬間には、上下方向から被覆部127同士が押し込まれるため、被覆部127の樹脂は、急激に押し込み方向が変化して軸方向へ逃げる。すなわち、合わせ部109近傍においては、被覆部127は、急激な逃げ方向への変形が生じる。また、互いに対向して押し込まれあうため、十分な押し込み深さを得ることが困難である。   On the other hand, at the moment when the molds 113a and 113b are brought together, the covering portions 127 are pushed in from above and below, so that the resin in the covering portion 127 suddenly changes in the pushing direction and escapes in the axial direction. That is, in the vicinity of the mating portion 109, the covering portion 127 is deformed in a rapid escape direction. Moreover, since they are pushed in opposite to each other, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient push-in depth.

図9(b)は、このようにして形成された圧着状態を示す断面図である。前述したように、合わせ部109近傍では、被覆部127は、まっすぐに軸方向に逃げる(図中矢印Z)。   FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view showing the crimped state formed as described above. As described above, in the vicinity of the mating portion 109, the covering portion 127 escapes straight in the axial direction (arrow Z in the figure).

このように、被覆部127が直線状に逃げてしまうため、凸条部117a、117bの合わせ部109では、押し込み深さが不十分となり、被覆部127と圧着部105内面との密着性が劣る。このため、この合わせ部109を伝って、外部から圧着部105の内部へ水が浸入しやすくなる。したがって、より確実な止水性を確保する必要がある。   As described above, since the covering portion 127 escapes linearly, in the mating portion 109 of the ridge portions 117a and 117b, the indentation depth becomes insufficient, and the adhesion between the covering portion 127 and the inner surface of the crimping portion 105 is inferior. . For this reason, it becomes easy for water to enter the inside of the crimping part 105 from the outside through the mating part 109. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a more reliable water stop.

本発明は、このような問題に鑑みてなされたもので、高い止水性を確保することが可能なワイヤハーネス等を提供することを目的とする。   This invention is made | formed in view of such a problem, and it aims at providing the wire harness etc. which can ensure high water-stopping property.

前述した目的を達するために第1の発明は、被覆導線と端子とが接続されるワイヤハーネスであって、前記端子は、前記被覆導線が圧着される圧着部と、端子本体と、を具備し、前記圧着部は、被覆部を圧着する被覆圧着部と、前記被覆部から露出する導線を圧着する導線圧着部とを有し、前記被覆導線が挿入される部位を除き、他の部位が封止されており、前記被覆圧着部の内面には、中心に向かって突出し、周方向に所定長だけ連続する凸条部が形成され、前記被覆圧着部を周方向に複数に分割した際に、一の分割部に形成される前記凸条部の位置と、他の分割部に形成される前記凸条部の位置が、前記被覆圧着部の長手方向に対してずれていることを特徴とするワイヤハーネスである。   In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a first invention is a wire harness in which a coated conductor and a terminal are connected, and the terminal includes a crimping portion to which the coated conductor is crimped, and a terminal body. The crimping part has a covering crimping part for crimping the covering part and a lead crimping part for crimping the conductor exposed from the covering part, and other parts are sealed except for the part where the covering conductor is inserted. The inner surface of the coated crimping part protrudes toward the center and is formed with a ridge that is continuous by a predetermined length in the circumferential direction, and when the coated crimped part is divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction, The position of the ridge formed on one divided portion and the position of the ridge formed on the other divided portion are deviated with respect to the longitudinal direction of the coated crimping portion. It is a wire harness.

前記被覆圧着部は、前記被覆圧着部の圧縮方向に2分割されており、少なくとも一方の分割部には、前記凸条部が複数形成され、前記被覆圧着部の長手方向に対する他方の分割部の前記凸条部の位置が、一方の分割部の前記凸条部同士の略中央であってもよい。   The coated crimping portion is divided into two in the compression direction of the coated crimped portion, and at least one of the divided portions is formed with a plurality of the protruding strips, and the other crimped portion with respect to the longitudinal direction of the coated crimped portion. The position of the ridge portion may be the approximate center between the ridge portions of one of the divided portions.

前記凸条部は、前記被覆圧着部の周方向に対して所定の角度で形成されてもよい。   The ridge portion may be formed at a predetermined angle with respect to a circumferential direction of the covering crimp portion.

第1の発明によれば、凸条部を周方向において完全に連続して形成せず、一部を軸方向にずらして配置することで、高い止水性を確保することができる。   According to 1st invention, a high water-stopping property is securable by not forming a protruding item | line part completely continuously in the circumferential direction but arrange | positioning a part in an axial direction.

例えば、一対の金型で圧着する場合において、それぞれの金型の凸条部同士の突き合わせ部近傍では、樹脂が直線状に逃げてしまうため、圧着後に被覆導線の被覆部と圧着部との間に隙間が形成されやすくなる。本発明では、凸条部同士の突き合わせ部を無くすことで、急激な変形部を抑制し、樹脂が直線状に逃げることを防止することができるため、被覆部と圧着部との密着性を高めることができる。   For example, in the case of crimping with a pair of molds, the resin escapes linearly in the vicinity of the butt portion between the protruding portions of each mold. A gap is likely to be formed on the surface. In the present invention, by eliminating the abutting portion between the ridges, it is possible to suppress a suddenly deformed portion and prevent the resin from escaping in a straight line, thereby improving the adhesion between the covering portion and the crimping portion. be able to.

このように凸条部をずらすためには、一対の金型のそれぞれの凸条部を形成するための突起の位置を互いにずらすことで容易に形成することができる。圧着部を周方向に2分割した際に、突起の位置を、互いの間の位置になるように形成することで、圧着部のバランスが良好であり、より確実に止水性を高めることができる。   In order to displace the protrusions in this way, the protrusions for forming the respective protrusions of the pair of molds can be easily formed by shifting each other. When the crimping portion is divided into two in the circumferential direction, the protrusions are formed so that the positions of the projections are located between each other, so that the balance of the crimping portion is good and the water stoppage can be improved more reliably. .

また、凸条部を周方向に対して斜めに形成することもでき、この場合には、凸条部の長さを長くすることができる。   Further, the ridges can be formed obliquely with respect to the circumferential direction, and in this case, the length of the ridges can be increased.

第2の発明は、端子と被覆導線との接続方法であって、前記端子は、前記被覆導線が圧着される圧着部と、端子本体とを有し、前記圧着部は、被覆部を圧着する被覆圧着部と、前記被覆部から露出する導線を圧着する導線圧着部とを有し、前記被覆導線が挿入される部位を除き、他の部位が封止されており、前記圧着部に前記被覆導線を挿入し、一対の金型で前記圧着部を圧着する際にそれぞれの前記金型において前記被覆圧着部の内面に突出するように周方向に連続する凸条部を形成し、一対の前記金型のそれぞれによって形成される前記凸条部の位置を、前記被覆圧着部の長手方向に対してずらすことを特徴とする端子と被覆導線の接続方法である。   2nd invention is a connection method of a terminal and a covering conducting wire, and the terminal has a crimping part to which the covering conducting wire is crimped, and a terminal body, and the crimping part crimps the covering part. A coated crimping portion and a conductive wire crimping portion for crimping the conductive wire exposed from the coated portion, and other portions are sealed except for a portion where the coated conductive wire is inserted; When inserting the conducting wire and crimping the crimping part with a pair of molds, each of the molds forms a ridge that is continuous in the circumferential direction so as to protrude from the inner surface of the covering crimping part, In the method of connecting a terminal and a covered conductor, the position of the protruding portion formed by each mold is shifted with respect to the longitudinal direction of the covered crimp portion.

第2の発明によれば、圧着部の内面に、容易に凸条部の位置を軸方向にずらして形成することができる。このため、止水性に優れたワイヤハーネスを製造することができる。   According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to easily shift the position of the ridge portion in the axial direction on the inner surface of the crimping portion. For this reason, the wire harness excellent in water-stopping property can be manufactured.

第3の発明は、複数本のワイヤハーネスが束ねられたワイヤハーネス構造体であって、前記ワイヤハーネスは、被覆導線と端子とが接続されており、前記端子は、前記被覆導線が圧着される圧着部と、端子本体と、を具備し、前記圧着部は、被覆部を圧着する被覆圧着部と、前記被覆部から露出する導線を圧着する導線圧着部とを有し、前記被覆導線が挿入される部位を除き、他の部位が封止されており、前記被覆圧着部の内面には、中心に向かって突出し、周方向に連続する凸条部が形成され、前記被覆圧着部を周方向に複数に分割した際に、一の分割部に形成される前記凸条部の位置と、他の分割部に形成される前記凸条部の位置が、前記被覆圧着部の長手方向に対してずれていることを特徴とするワイヤハーネス構造体である。   A third invention is a wire harness structure in which a plurality of wire harnesses are bundled, wherein the wire harness is connected to a covered conductor and a terminal, and the terminal is crimped to the covered conductor. A crimping portion and a terminal body, wherein the crimping portion has a covering crimping portion for crimping the covering portion, and a conductor crimping portion for crimping a conductor exposed from the covering portion, and the covering conductor is inserted Other parts are sealed, and the inner surface of the coated crimping part is protruded toward the center and is formed with a ridge that is continuous in the circumferential direction. The position of the ridge portion formed in one divided portion and the position of the ridge portion formed in the other divided portion are divided with respect to the longitudinal direction of the covering crimping portion. It is the wire harness structure characterized by having shifted | deviated.

本発明では、複数本のワイヤハーネスを束ねて用いることもできる。   In the present invention, a plurality of wire harnesses can be bundled and used.

FIG.

以下、図面に基づいて、本発明の第1の実施の形態について詳細に説明する。図1は、端子1の斜視図である。端子1は、端子本体3と圧着部5とからなる。   Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the terminal 1. The terminal 1 includes a terminal body 3 and a crimping part 5.

端子1は、銅製である。端子本体3は、所定の形状の板材を、断面が矩形の筒体に形成したものである。端子本体3は、前端部18に、板材を矩形の筒体内に折り込んで形成される弾性接触片14を有する。端子本体3は、前端部18から雄端子などが挿入されて接続される。   The terminal 1 is made of copper. The terminal body 3 is formed by forming a plate material having a predetermined shape into a cylindrical body having a rectangular cross section. The terminal body 3 has an elastic contact piece 14 formed at the front end portion 18 by folding a plate material into a rectangular cylinder. The terminal body 3 is connected by inserting a male terminal or the like from the front end portion 18.

圧着部5は、断面が円形の筒体となるように丸められ、側縁部同士を突き合わせて接合部21で接合して一体化することにより形成される。筒状に形成された圧着部5の後端部19から、後述する被覆導線が挿入される。また、圧着部5の前端部(端子本体3側)には封止部22が設けられる。すなわち、圧着部5は、被覆導線が挿入される後端部19以外は、封止される。なお、接合部21および封止部22は、例えばレーザ溶接等によって溶接される。   The crimping part 5 is formed by rounding the cross section into a circular cylinder, joining the side edge parts together and joining them together by the joining part 21. A coated conductor, which will be described later, is inserted from the rear end portion 19 of the crimp portion 5 formed in a cylindrical shape. A sealing portion 22 is provided at the front end portion (terminal body 3 side) of the crimping portion 5. That is, the crimping part 5 is sealed except for the rear end part 19 into which the coated conductor is inserted. In addition, the junction part 21 and the sealing part 22 are welded by laser welding etc., for example.

次に、端子1を用いて、被覆導線を圧着した状態について説明する。図2は、端子1と被覆導線23が圧着された状態を示す正面図である。圧着部5は、被覆導線23の被覆部を圧着する被覆圧着部5aと、被覆導線23の先端部分において、被覆部が除去されて導線が露出した部位を圧着する導線圧着部5bとからなる。   Next, a state where the coated conductor is crimped using the terminal 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a front view showing a state in which the terminal 1 and the covered conductor 23 are crimped. The crimping part 5 includes a coated crimping part 5a for crimping the coated part of the coated conducting wire 23 and a lead crimping part 5b for crimping a portion where the covering part is removed and the conducting wire is exposed at the tip of the coated conducting wire 23.

圧着部5には、金型の合わせ部である合わせ部9が形成される。なお、金型による圧着方法については後述する。被覆圧着部5aの外面には、凹溝7a、7bが形成される。合わせ部9よりも上方における半周部分には、凹溝7aが連続して設けられ、合わせ部9よりも下方の半周部分には凹溝7bが連続して形成される。   The crimping part 5 is formed with a mating part 9 which is a mating part of the mold. In addition, the crimping method by a metal mold | die is mentioned later. Grooves 7a and 7b are formed on the outer surface of the coated crimping portion 5a. A concave groove 7a is continuously provided in a semicircular portion above the mating portion 9, and a concave groove 7b is continuously formed in a semicircular portion below the mating portion 9.

凹溝7a、7bは、それぞれ2つずつ形成される。凹溝7a、7bは、互いに、被覆圧着部5aの長手方向(被覆導線23の軸方向)に対して、互いにずれた位置に形成される。例えば、凹溝7a同士のピッチと、凹溝7b同士のピッチを同じにして、互いに半ピッチずらして形成される。この場合、一方の凹溝7bは、凹溝7aの中間(被覆圧着部5aの長手方向に対する中間)に形成される。また、一方の凹溝7aは、凹溝7bの中間(被覆圧着部5aの長手方向に対する中間)に形成される。   Two concave grooves 7a and 7b are formed. The concave grooves 7a and 7b are formed at positions shifted from each other with respect to the longitudinal direction of the coated crimping portion 5a (the axial direction of the coated conducting wire 23). For example, the pitch between the concave grooves 7a and the pitch between the concave grooves 7b are the same, and the pitch is shifted from each other by a half pitch. In this case, the one concave groove 7b is formed in the middle of the concave groove 7a (intermediate with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cover crimping portion 5a). Moreover, one concave groove 7a is formed in the middle of the concave groove 7b (intermediate with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cover crimping portion 5a).

凹溝7a、7bは、他の部位と比較して、縮径された部位である。したがって、凹溝7a、7bに対応する被覆圧着部5aの内面は、中心方向に突出する部位となる。なお、本実施形態では、凹溝7a、7bの2分割した例を示すが、本発明はこれに限られず、周方向に複数に分割された凹溝を形成すればよい。また、凹溝7a、7bの配置数は図示した例には限られない。   The concave grooves 7a and 7b are portions that are reduced in diameter as compared with other portions. Therefore, the inner surface of the cover crimping portion 5a corresponding to the concave grooves 7a and 7b is a portion protruding in the center direction. In the present embodiment, an example in which the concave grooves 7a and 7b are divided into two is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is only necessary to form a plurality of concave grooves in the circumferential direction. Further, the number of the concave grooves 7a and 7b is not limited to the illustrated example.

次に、ワイヤハーネスを形成する工程について説明する。図3は、端子1と被覆導線23との接続工程を示す図である。まず、図3(a)に示すように、筒状の圧着部5に被覆導線23を挿入する。前述したように、圧着部5は、略筒状に丸められて、縁部同士が接合部21で接合される。また、圧着部5の前端部(端子本体3側)には封止部22が設けられる。すなわち、圧着部5は、被覆導線23が挿入される後端部19以外は、封止される。   Next, the process for forming the wire harness will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a connection process between the terminal 1 and the covered conductor 23. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the covered conducting wire 23 is inserted into the tubular crimping part 5. As described above, the crimping part 5 is rounded into a substantially cylindrical shape, and the edges are joined by the joining part 21. A sealing portion 22 is provided at the front end portion (terminal body 3 side) of the crimping portion 5. That is, the crimping part 5 is sealed except for the rear end part 19 into which the covered conducting wire 23 is inserted.

被覆導線23は、導線25が絶縁性の被覆部27によって被覆される。導線25は、例えばアルミニウム系材料製である。被覆導線23を圧着部5に挿入する際には、被覆導線23の先端の一部の被覆部27が剥離され、導線25を露出させておく。なお、被覆部27としては、ポリ塩化ビニル(PVC)、ポリエチレン等、この技術の分野において通常用いられるものを選択することができる。   In the covered conductor 23, the conductor 25 is covered with an insulating covering portion 27. The conducting wire 25 is made of, for example, an aluminum-based material. When the covered conductor 23 is inserted into the crimping part 5, a part of the cover 27 at the tip of the covered conductor 23 is peeled off to expose the conductor 25. In addition, as the coating | coated part 27, what is normally used in the field | area of this technique, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene, can be selected.

次に、図3(b)に示すように、図示を省略した金型によって、圧着部5を圧縮する。これにより、圧着部5が導線25および被覆部27と圧着され、ワイヤハーネス30が形成される。   Next, as shown in FIG.3 (b), the crimping | compression-bonding part 5 is compressed with the metal mold | die which abbreviate | omitted illustration. Thereby, the crimping | compression-bonding part 5 is crimped | bonded with the conducting wire 25 and the coating | coated part 27, and the wire harness 30 is formed.

図4は、圧着前における金型13a、13b等を示す図、図5は、圧着後の状態を示す図である。金型13a、13bのそれぞれには、内面に突出する突起15a、15bがそれぞれ形成される。突起15a、15bは、それぞれ、金型13a、13bの内周面において、周方向に連続する。すなわち、突起15a、15bは、環状の形態を、周方向に半割した形態である。   FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the molds 13a, 13b and the like before crimping, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state after crimping. Each of the molds 13a and 13b is formed with protrusions 15a and 15b protruding from the inner surface. The protrusions 15a and 15b are continuous in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surfaces of the molds 13a and 13b, respectively. That is, the protrusions 15a and 15b have a shape obtained by dividing an annular shape in the circumferential direction.

本実施形態では、突起15a、15bは、それぞれ2カ所ずつ形成される。金型13a、13bを対向させると、突起15a、15bの位置は、被覆圧着部5aの長手方向に対して異なる位置に形成される。   In the present embodiment, the protrusions 15a and 15b are each formed at two places. When the molds 13a and 13b are made to face each other, the positions of the protrusions 15a and 15b are formed at different positions with respect to the longitudinal direction of the covering crimping part 5a.

次に、図5に示すように、金型13a、13bを噛み合わせて、被覆導線23と圧着部5とを圧着する。なお、加締め後の導線圧着部5bの径は、被覆圧着部5aの径よりも小さい。したがって、導線圧着部5bは、被覆圧着部5aよりも強圧着となる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the molds 13a and 13b are engaged with each other, and the coated conductor 23 and the crimping part 5 are crimped. In addition, the diameter of the conducting wire crimping part 5b after crimping is smaller than the diameter of the covering crimping part 5a. Therefore, the lead wire crimping part 5b is stronger than the coated crimping part 5a.

被覆圧着部5aは、金型13a、13bの突起15a、15bに対応する部位が強く押し込まれ、径方向内側へ突出する凸条部17a、17bが形成される。すなわち、被覆圧着部5aの外周面に設けられる凹溝7a、7bに対応する、被覆圧着部5aの内周面に、凸条部17a、17bが形成される。   In the coated crimping portion 5a, portions corresponding to the protrusions 15a and 15b of the molds 13a and 13b are strongly pressed, and projecting ridge portions 17a and 17b projecting radially inward are formed. That is, the ridges 17a and 17b are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the coated crimping portion 5a corresponding to the concave grooves 7a and 7b provided on the outer circumferential surface of the coated crimped portion 5a.

なお、凸条部17a、17bはプレス工程で端子を作る際に設けて、その後レーザ溶接を行っても良いし、前述したように、圧着工程の際に設けても良い。但し、プレス工程であらかじめ凸条部17a、17bを設けると、端子1に被覆導線23を挿入する際に邪魔になる恐れがある。また、接合部21をレーザ溶接した際に凸条部17a、17bがなだらかになってしまう恐れもある。このため、図4、図5に示すように、圧着と同時に金型13a、13bによって凸条部17a、17bを設けることが望ましい。   The ridges 17a and 17b may be provided when the terminal is formed in the pressing process, and then laser welding may be performed, or may be provided during the crimping process as described above. However, if the ridges 17 a and 17 b are provided in advance in the pressing process, there is a possibility that it may become an obstacle when the covered conductor 23 is inserted into the terminal 1. Moreover, when the joining part 21 is laser-welded, the ridges 17a and 17b may become smooth. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, it is desirable to provide the protrusions 17a and 17b by the molds 13a and 13b simultaneously with the pressure bonding.

圧着後には、被覆圧着部5aの内面と被覆部27の外面との密着によって圧着部5を封止することができる。この際、圧着部5の後端部19以外の他の部位は、接合部21および封止部22によって水密に封止されるため、圧着部5への水分の浸入を防止することができる。以上により、ワイヤハーネス30が製造される。   After crimping, the crimping part 5 can be sealed by the close contact between the inner surface of the coated crimping part 5 a and the outer surface of the coating part 27. At this time, other parts than the rear end part 19 of the crimping part 5 are sealed in a watertight manner by the joining part 21 and the sealing part 22, so that the intrusion of moisture into the crimping part 5 can be prevented. As described above, the wire harness 30 is manufactured.

ここで、前述したように、突起15a、15bの位置は、被覆圧着部5aの長手方向に互いにずれている。したがって、凸条部17a、17bの位置も、合わせ部9の上下でずれている。すなわち、凸条部17a、17bは、全周に連続せずに、所定長(半周分)だけ形成される。また、金型13a、13bを合わせた際に、突起15a、15bが突き合わさることがない。   Here, as described above, the positions of the protrusions 15a and 15b are shifted from each other in the longitudinal direction of the coated crimping portion 5a. Therefore, the positions of the ridges 17a and 17b are also shifted above and below the mating portion 9. In other words, the ridges 17a and 17b are not continuous to the entire circumference but are formed for a predetermined length (half circumference). Further, when the molds 13a and 13b are combined, the protrusions 15a and 15b do not collide with each other.

ここで、金型13aによって、被覆圧着部5aが圧縮されていく過程では、突起15aの部位が特に大きく押し込まれていく。完全に金型13a、13bが組み合わさる瞬間には、突起15aの先端部近傍(合わせ部9近傍)が強く圧縮される。このように突起15aで被覆圧着部5aが圧縮されると、当該部位において、内部の被覆部27が強く圧縮される。   Here, in the process in which the covering crimping part 5a is compressed by the mold 13a, the portion of the protrusion 15a is pushed in particularly greatly. At the moment when the molds 13a and 13b are completely combined, the vicinity of the tip portion of the protrusion 15a (near the mating portion 9) is strongly compressed. Thus, when the covering crimping part 5a is compressed by the protrusion 15a, the inner covering part 27 is strongly compressed at the portion.

この際、合わせ部9の下部には、突起15aに対応する強圧縮部が存在しないため、被覆部27は、合わせ部9から下方側への変形が進行する(図中矢印A)。すなわち、被覆圧着部5aの軸方向への逃げが抑制される。   At this time, since the strong compression portion corresponding to the protrusion 15a does not exist in the lower portion of the mating portion 9, the covering portion 27 is deformed downward from the mating portion 9 (arrow A in the figure). That is, the escape of the coated crimping part 5a in the axial direction is suppressed.

同様に、金型13bによって、被覆圧着部5aが圧縮されていく過程では、突起15bの部位が特に大きく押し込まれていく。完全に金型13a、13bが組み合わさる瞬間には、突起15bの先端部近傍(合わせ部9近傍)が強く圧縮される。このように突起15bで被覆圧着部5aが圧縮されると、当該部位において、内部の被覆部27が強く圧縮される。   Similarly, in the process in which the cover crimping portion 5a is compressed by the mold 13b, the portion of the protrusion 15b is pushed in particularly greatly. At the moment when the molds 13a and 13b are completely combined, the vicinity of the tip of the protrusion 15b (the vicinity of the mating portion 9) is strongly compressed. Thus, when the covering crimping part 5a is compressed by the projection 15b, the inner covering part 27 is strongly compressed at the portion.

この際、合わせ部9の上部には、突起15bに対応する強圧縮部が存在しないため、被覆部27は、合わせ部9から上方側への変形が進行する(図中矢印B)。すなわち、被覆圧着部5aの軸方向への逃げが抑制される。   At this time, since the strong compression portion corresponding to the protrusion 15b does not exist on the upper portion of the mating portion 9, the covering portion 27 is deformed upward from the mating portion 9 (arrow B in the figure). That is, the escape of the coated crimping part 5a in the axial direction is suppressed.

このように、本発明では、図9に示した構造とは異なり、最終的な強圧縮部同士が突き合わさらないため、急激に変形方向が変化して、被覆部27が軸方向へ逃げることがない。また、互いに対向して押し込まれあわないため、合わせ部9近傍であっても、十分な押し込み深さを得ることができる。   Thus, in the present invention, unlike the structure shown in FIG. 9, since the final strong compression portions do not face each other, the deformation direction changes suddenly and the covering portion 27 escapes in the axial direction. There is no. Further, since they are not pushed against each other, a sufficient pushing depth can be obtained even in the vicinity of the mating portion 9.

図6は、圧縮後の圧着部5の断面図である。前述したように、本発明では、合わせ部9の近傍に、金型13a、13bの突起15a、15bが突き合わさることがない。このため、合わせ部9において、被覆部27は、軸方向の一直線状に軸方向に逃げるのではなく、波型に後方に逃げる。このように、被覆部27が蛇行して逃げることで、摩擦が大きくなり、被覆部27が圧着部5の外部に出にくくなる。   FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the crimping part 5 after compression. As described above, in the present invention, the protrusions 15 a and 15 b of the molds 13 a and 13 b do not face each other in the vicinity of the mating portion 9. For this reason, in the mating portion 9, the covering portion 27 does not escape in the axial direction in a straight line in the axial direction, but escapes backward in a wave shape. As described above, the covering portion 27 meanders and escapes, so that the friction increases and the covering portion 27 is difficult to come out of the crimping portion 5.

この結果、圧着部5の内部に、被覆部27を留めることができる。このため、この部位近傍の被覆部27を確実に被覆圧着部5aの内面に密着させることができる。したがって、被覆部27と被覆圧着部5aとの間の止水性を向上させることができる。   As a result, the covering portion 27 can be fastened inside the crimping portion 5. For this reason, the coating | coated part 27 of this site | part vicinity can be closely_contact | adhered to the inner surface of the coating | coated crimping | compression-bonding part 5a. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the water stoppage between the covering portion 27 and the covering pressure-bonding portion 5a.

以上説明したように、本実施の形態によれば、止水性を確保するための凸条部17a、17bを、あえて周方向に連続させずに、金型13a、13bの合わせ部9に対応する部位で、軸方向の位置をずらして形成する。このため、特に合わせ部における、凸条部17a、17bの形成時の、被覆部27の逃げをなだらかに安定させることができる。このため、合わせ部9において、被覆部27に直線状の逃げに伴う、被覆部27と被覆圧着部5aとの密着不足を防止することができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the protruding strips 17a and 17b for ensuring the water-stopping property are not intended to be continuous in the circumferential direction, and correspond to the mating portions 9 of the molds 13a and 13b. It is formed by shifting the position in the axial direction at the site. For this reason, especially the escape of the coating | coated part 27 at the time of formation of the protruding item | line parts 17a and 17b in a mating part can be stabilized gently. For this reason, in the mating portion 9, it is possible to prevent insufficient adhesion between the covering portion 27 and the covering pressure-bonding portion 5 a due to the linear relief of the covering portion 27.

特に、凸条部17a、17bを複数形成し、互いに半ピッチずらして配置することで、上述した効果を安定して確保することができる。   In particular, the above-described effects can be stably ensured by forming a plurality of ridge portions 17a and 17b and arranging them by shifting by a half pitch.

なお、凸条部17a、17bの配置等は、図2等に示したものには限られない。すなわち、図2に示すように、合わせ部9の上下に、各々2つの凸条部17a、17bを形成するのではなく、他の形態であってもよい。   In addition, arrangement | positioning etc. of the protruding item | line parts 17a and 17b are not restricted to what was shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, instead of forming the two ridges 17 a and 17 b above and below the mating portion 9, another form may be used.

例えば、図7(a)に示すように、一方の凹溝7bを1カ所として、他方の凹溝7aを複数個所に形成してもよい。すなわち、凸条部17a、17bの形成数は、上下で同数でなくてもよい。なお、この場合には、凹溝7a(凸条部17a)の軸方向の中央位置に、凹溝7b(凸条部17b)を形成することが望ましい。   For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, one concave groove 7b may be formed at one place, and the other concave groove 7a may be formed at a plurality of positions. That is, the number of protrusions 17a and 17b may not be the same in the upper and lower directions. In this case, it is desirable to form the groove 7b (projection 17b) at the center position in the axial direction of the groove 7a (projection 17a).

同様に、図7(b)に示すように、上方の凹溝7a(凸条部17a)を一つとして、下方の凹溝7b(凸条部17b)を二つ形成してもよい。なお、この場合には、凹溝7b(凸条部17b)の軸方向の中央位置に、凹溝7a(凸条部17a)を形成することが望ましい。   Similarly, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), one upper concave groove 7a (protruded portion 17a) may be formed and two lower concave grooves 7b (protruded portion 17b) may be formed. In this case, it is desirable to form the concave groove 7a (the convex strip portion 17a) at the center position in the axial direction of the concave groove 7b (the convex strip portion 17b).

また、本発明では、凸条部17a、17bは、周方向にまっすぐに形成しなくてもよい。例えば、図8(a)、図8(b)に示すように、凹溝7a(凸条部17a)および凹溝7b(凸条部17b)を、被覆圧着部5aの周方向に対して所定の角度で形成してもよい。   In the present invention, the ridges 17a and 17b may not be formed straight in the circumferential direction. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b), the groove 7a (projection strip portion 17a) and the groove 7b (projection strip portion 17b) are defined with respect to the circumferential direction of the coated crimping portion 5a. You may form at the angle of.

図8(a)では、上方の凹溝7a(凸条部17a)が、合わせ部9から頂部に行くにつれて、前方(端子本体側)に向かって傾斜するように形成される。また、下方の凹溝7b(凸条部17b)が、合わせ部9から頂部に行くにつれて、後方(被覆導線側)に向かって傾斜するように形成される。この場合には、金型13a、13bは、まっすぐに対向するように移動するのではなく、互いに斜めに移動する。例えば、上方の金型13aは、前方から後方に斜めに移動し、下方の金型13bは、後方から前方に斜めに移動する。   In Fig.8 (a), it is formed so that the upper ditch | groove 7a (projection strip part 17a) may incline toward the front (terminal main body side) as it goes to the top part from the matching part 9. FIG. Further, the lower concave groove 7b (projection strip portion 17b) is formed so as to incline toward the rear (the coated conducting wire side) from the mating portion 9 to the top. In this case, the molds 13a and 13b do not move so as to face each other but move obliquely. For example, the upper mold 13a moves diagonally from the front to the rear, and the lower mold 13b moves diagonally from the rear to the front.

また、図8(b)は、図8(a)に対して、傾斜方向を変えたものである。8(b)では、上方の凹溝7a(凸条部17a)と、下方の凹溝7b(凸条部17b)のいずれもが、合わせ部9から頂部に行くにつれて、前方(端子本体側)に向かって傾斜するように形成される。   Moreover, FIG.8 (b) changes the inclination direction with respect to Fig.8 (a). 8 (b), the upper groove 7a (protrusion 17a) and the lower groove 7b (protrusion 17b) both move forward (terminal body side) from the mating portion 9 to the top. It is formed to incline toward

このように、凹溝7a(凸条部17a)と、下方の凹溝7b(凸条部17b)を斜めに形成することで、凸条部17a、17bの全長を長くすることができる。このため、止水性を高めることができる。   Thus, the overall length of the ridges 17a and 17b can be increased by forming the groove 7a (the ridge 17a) and the lower groove 7b (the ridge 17b) obliquely. For this reason, a water stop can be improved.

なお、凹溝7a(凸条部17a)と、下方の凹溝7b(凸条部17b)の配置数、傾斜の有無および方向は、図示した例には限られず、適宜変更することができ、前述した各実施形態を互いに組み合わせることもできる。   In addition, the number of the grooves 7a (projected ridges 17a) and the lower grooves 7b (projected ridges 17b), the presence / absence of the inclination and the direction are not limited to the illustrated example, and can be changed as appropriate. The above-described embodiments can be combined with each other.

また、凸条部17a、17bの断面形状は図示したような台形状には限られない。凸条部17a、17b断面形状は、半円状、矩形、三角形などの多角形等を有するものであってもよい。   In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the ridges 17a and 17b is not limited to the trapezoidal shape as illustrated. The cross-sectional shape of the protrusions 17a and 17b may have a polygonal shape such as a semicircle, a rectangle, or a triangle.

また、凸条部17a、17bの断面形状が、長手方向に対して傾斜するようにしてもよい。例えば、凸条部17a、17bの基部(凸条部17a、17b以外の部位の被覆圧着部5aの内面位置)の中心線に対して、凸条部17a、17bの断面形状を非対称な形状とすることもできる。   Moreover, you may make it the cross-sectional shape of the convex part 17a, 17b incline with respect to a longitudinal direction. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the ridges 17a and 17b is asymmetric with respect to the center line of the base of the ridges 17a and 17b (the inner surface position of the coated crimping part 5a other than the ridges 17a and 17b). You can also

また、凸条部17a、17bの形状がそれぞれ異なっていてもよい。例えば、凸条部17a、17bのそれぞれの幅や断面形状が互いに異なっていてもよい。また、凸条部17a、17b(凹溝7a、7b)の一部が合わせ部9において、互いに重なり合ってもよい。すなわち、凸条部17a、17bの位置が、被覆圧着部の長手方向に対してずれているとは、例えばそれらの中心位置が長手方向にずれていることを意味し、凸条部17a、17b(凹溝7a、7b)の幅方向の一部が、合わせ部9で一部が重なってもよい。   Moreover, the shape of the protruding line portions 17a and 17b may be different from each other. For example, the widths and cross-sectional shapes of the ridges 17a and 17b may be different from each other. Further, a part of the ridges 17 a and 17 b (concave grooves 7 a and 7 b) may overlap each other in the mating part 9. That is, the fact that the positions of the ridges 17a and 17b are displaced with respect to the longitudinal direction of the coated crimping part means that, for example, their center positions are displaced in the longitudinal direction, and the ridges 17a and 17b. A part of the (grooves 7a, 7b) in the width direction may partially overlap with the mating part 9.
