Description

本発明は、コネクタカバーに関する。   The present invention relates to a connector cover.

電装品に接続するコネクタ後方から導出されるハーネス経路の規制や保護のために、コネクタハウジングに装着されるカバーの技術が開示されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。特許文献１に開示されているコネクタは、曲げ変形させた時の復元力が高い電線（ハーネス）であっても、電線ホルダ（カバー）によってその電線を所定の曲率に曲げた状態に保持できるようにするものである。   In order to regulate and protect a harness path derived from the rear of the connector connected to the electrical component, a technique of a cover attached to the connector housing is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). Even if the connector disclosed in Patent Document 1 is an electric wire (harness) having a high restoring force when bent and deformed, the electric wire holder (cover) can hold the electric wire in a state of being bent to a predetermined curvature. It is to make.

これらの従来のカバーでは、コネクタ後方のハーネス経路は固定的である。コネクタが接続される電装品行きのハーネスが太く、固定点からＵターン状に配策されて前記電装品にコネクタ接続されるような箇所では、コネクタ後方のハーネスに、コネクタの差込みストロークを考慮した余長や曲げ代が必要となる。   In these conventional covers, the harness path behind the connector is fixed. The harness for the electrical component to which the connector is connected is thick, and in the place where the U-turn is arranged from the fixed point and the connector is connected to the electrical component, the insertion stroke of the connector is considered in the harness behind the connector. Extra length and bending allowance are required.

図３は、従来のコネクタカバー２０を有するコネクタ１およびハーネス３の配策の状態を説明する図である。図３（ａ）は結線前の状態を、図３（ｂ）は結線後の状態を示している。同図におけるコネクタカバー２０は、テープ巻きあるいは結束バンド等で、ハーネス３を所定の曲率（角度）に曲げた状態で固定している。ハーネス３は、所定位置でクランプ５で固定されている。コネクタ１を結線相手部品７に差し込む際には、図３（ａ）に示すように、結線相手部品７の正面にコネクタ１を配置してから図中の棒矢印方向に差し込むことで、スムーズな結線ができる。しかし、図３（ａ）の状態で結線するためには、図３（ｂ）に示すように、矢印領域で示す部分にハーネス３の余長が必要となる。前記余長が短いと、スムーズな結線が困難となるが、その一方で、前記余長が長くなると、配策経路にばらつきが生じやすく周辺部品との干渉のおそれが生じ、また、コストアップの原因ともなる。また、結線時のハーネス３の曲率変化が大きくなるため、太いハーネスでは組み付けが困難となる。   FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a state of routing of the connector 1 having the conventional connector cover 20 and the harness 3. FIG. 3A shows a state before connection, and FIG. 3B shows a state after connection. The connector cover 20 in the figure is fixed in a state where the harness 3 is bent at a predetermined curvature (angle) by tape winding or a binding band. The harness 3 is fixed by a clamp 5 at a predetermined position. When inserting the connector 1 into the wire mating part 7, as shown in FIG. 3A, the connector 1 is arranged in front of the wire mating part 7 and then inserted in the direction of the bar arrow in the figure, so that smooth Can be connected. However, in order to connect in the state of FIG. 3A, as shown in FIG. 3B, the extra length of the harness 3 is required at the portion indicated by the arrow region. If the surplus length is short, smooth connection becomes difficult.On the other hand, if the surplus length is long, the routing route is likely to vary, and there is a risk of interference with peripheral components, and the cost increases. It can also be a cause. Moreover, since the curvature change of the harness 3 at the time of connection becomes large, assembly | attachment becomes difficult with a thick harness.

本発明は上記問題点を解決するものであり、結線時の作業性と、結線後の配策経路のばらつき規制とを両立することが可能となるコネクタカバーを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a connector cover that can achieve both workability at the time of connection and regulation of variation in the routing route after connection.

コネクタの背面にその一端を固定して装着されるコネクタカバーであって、
前記コネクタの背面から導出されたハーネスが可動状態で収容可能な断面凹形状を有しているとともに、前記ハーネスが所定方向に配策可能となるように屈曲しており、

以下、この発明の実施の形態を、図面を参照しながら説明する。ただし、本発明は、以下の例に限定および制限されない。なお、以下で参照する図面は、模式的に記載されたものであり、図面に描画された物体の寸法の比率などは、現実の物体の寸法の比率などとは異なる場合がある。図面相互間においても、物体の寸法比率等が異なる場合がある。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited or limited to the following examples. The drawings referred to below are schematically described, and the ratio of the dimensions of objects drawn in the drawings may be different from the ratio of dimensions of actual objects. The dimensional ratio of the object may be different between the drawings.

図１は、本発明のコネクタカバー１０を有するコネクタおよびハーネスの配策の状態を説明する図である。図１（ａ）は結線前の状態、図１（ｂ）は結線後の状態である。また、図２に、本発明の一例であるコネクタカバー１０の斜視図を示す。図２（ａ）は全体図、図２（ｂ）は、端部の拡大図である。   FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a connector and harness arrangement state having the connector cover 10 of the present invention. FIG. 1A shows a state before connection, and FIG. 1B shows a state after connection. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a connector cover 10 which is an example of the present invention. FIG. 2A is an overall view, and FIG. 2B is an enlarged view of an end portion.

本実施形態のコネクタカバー１０は、コネクタ１の背面にその一端を固定して装着されている。コネクタ１の背面からは、ハーネス３が導出されており、ハーネス３は、所定位置でクランプ５で固定されている。   The connector cover 10 of this embodiment is attached to the back surface of the connector 1 with one end fixed. A harness 3 is led out from the back surface of the connector 1, and the harness 3 is fixed by a clamp 5 at a predetermined position.

本実施形態のコネクタカバー１０は、ハーネス３をコネクタ１の導出方向から略直角方向に屈曲させるものであり、その断面は、図２（ａ）に示すようにＵ字形状である。前記Ｕ字形状の開口の方向は、屈曲の内周側であり、前記開口はハーネス３が収容できるサイズとなっている。したがって、コネクタカバー１０をコネクタ１の背面に装着すると、前記Ｕ字形状の窪み部分にハーネス３が収容されて、コネクタカバー１０の屈曲方向にハーネス３を配策することができる。   The connector cover 10 of the present embodiment bends the harness 3 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the connector 1 is led out, and the cross section thereof is U-shaped as shown in FIG. The direction of the U-shaped opening is the inner peripheral side of the bend, and the opening is sized to accommodate the harness 3. Therefore, when the connector cover 10 is attached to the back surface of the connector 1, the harness 3 is accommodated in the U-shaped depression, and the harness 3 can be routed in the bending direction of the connector cover 10.

ハーネス３はコネクタカバー１０内に収容された状態でも、コネクタカバー１０には固定されておらず、可動である。このため、コネクタ１を結線相手部品７に差し込む際には、図１（ａ）に示すように、結線相手部品７の正面にコネクタ１を配置して図中の棒矢印方向に差し込むが、この状態では、ハーネス３をコネクタカバー１０から引き出すことができる。   Even when the harness 3 is housed in the connector cover 10, the harness 3 is not fixed to the connector cover 10 and is movable. For this reason, when the connector 1 is inserted into the connection partner part 7, as shown in FIG. 1A, the connector 1 is arranged in front of the connection partner part 7 and inserted in the direction of the bar arrow in the figure. In the state, the harness 3 can be pulled out from the connector cover 10.

図３に示すコネクタカバー２０にハーネス３が固定されている従来の形態では、コネクタカバー２０の端部（コネクタ側と反対側の出口部分）でハーネス３の曲げやつっぱりを生じさせないために、ハーネスの線長を長くとる必要がある。これに対して、本実施形態のコネクタカバー１０では、コネクタカバー１０の端部（コネクタ側と反対側の出口部分）でハーネス３が固定されていないので、コネクタ１を図１（ａ）の位置に運んだ際に、コネクタカバー１０の屈曲方向内周側にハーネス３の経路を移動させることができる。そして、結線後には、図１（ｂ）に示すように、図３（ｂ）の矢印領域で見られるようなハーネスの弛みを低減させるとともに、ハーネス３はコネクタカバー１０の内部に収容されて、配策経路のばらつきを防ぐことができる。   In the conventional configuration in which the harness 3 is fixed to the connector cover 20 shown in FIG. 3, the harness 3 is not bent or pulled at the end of the connector cover 20 (the exit portion on the opposite side of the connector side). It is necessary to take a long line length. On the other hand, in the connector cover 10 of the present embodiment, the harness 3 is not fixed at the end of the connector cover 10 (the exit portion on the side opposite to the connector side), so the connector 1 is positioned as shown in FIG. , The path of the harness 3 can be moved to the inner peripheral side of the connector cover 10 in the bending direction. And after connecting, as shown in FIG.1 (b), while reducing the slack of a harness as seen in the arrow area | region of FIG.3 (b), the harness 3 is accommodated in the inside of the connector cover 10, Variations in the routing route can be prevented.

したがって、コネクタカバー１０を用いることで、ハーネス３の線長をより短くしても、結線時の作業性を良好なものとすることができる。そして、ハーネス３の線長がより短くなることで、配策経路のばらつきは生じにくくなり、周辺部品との干渉のおそれが低減する。さらに、低コスト化も図ることができる。   Therefore, by using the connector cover 10, even when the wire length of the harness 3 is further shortened, workability at the time of connection can be improved. And since the wire length of the harness 3 becomes shorter, the variation in the routing route is less likely to occur, and the possibility of interference with peripheral components is reduced. Furthermore, cost reduction can be achieved.

本実施形態では、コネクタカバー１０には、コネクタ１側と反対側の端部にストッパー１１が設けられている。ストッパー１１は、図２（ｂ）に示すように、開閉可能である。ストッパー１１を閉じたときには、ハーネス３は、コネクタカバー１０のＵ字形状部分とストッパー１１との間で可動となる。ストッパー１１は必須の部材ではないが、ストッパー１１を設けることで、作業時のコネクタカバー１０からのハーネス外れを防ぐことができ、作業性を向上させることができるため好ましい。   In the present embodiment, the connector cover 10 is provided with a stopper 11 at the end opposite to the connector 1 side. The stopper 11 can be opened and closed as shown in FIG. When the stopper 11 is closed, the harness 3 is movable between the U-shaped portion of the connector cover 10 and the stopper 11. Although the stopper 11 is not an indispensable member, it is preferable to provide the stopper 11 because it is possible to prevent the harness from being detached from the connector cover 10 during work and to improve workability.

コネクタカバー１０とコネクタ１との固定は、爪部を設けることによる爪篏合等の手段で行うことができるが、容易に外れない状態にすることができれば、これに限定されるものではない。   The connector cover 10 and the connector 1 can be fixed by means such as claw engagement by providing a claw portion, but is not limited to this as long as it can be easily removed.

本実施形態においては、コネクタカバー１０は、ハーネス３をコネクタ１の導出方向から略直角方向に屈曲させるものであるが、本発明はこれに限定されない。コネクタカバーの屈曲角度を調整して、所望の配策経路にハーネスを規制することも可能である。また、本実施形態においては、コネクタカバー１０の屈曲部は、略円弧形状であるが、材質や強度に応じてＬ字形状や台形形状等の形状としてもよい。   In this embodiment, the connector cover 10 bends the harness 3 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the connector 1 is led out, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to regulate the harness to a desired route by adjusting the bending angle of the connector cover. In the present embodiment, the bent portion of the connector cover 10 has a substantially arc shape, but may have a shape such as an L shape or a trapezoid shape depending on the material and strength.

また、コネクタカバー１０の断面形状はＵ字形状であるが、本発明のコネクタカバーは、断面形状はハーネスが可動状態で収容可能な凹形状であれば、Ｕ字形状に限定されるものではない。   Moreover, although the cross-sectional shape of the connector cover 10 is U-shaped, the cross-sectional shape of the connector cover of the present invention is not limited to the U-shape as long as the cross-sectional shape is a concave shape that can be accommodated in a movable state. .
