A housing having a second housing chamber for housing the electronic component at a second housing completion position in which the electric connection member and the electric connection member are tilted with respect to the first housing completion position. And a temporary holding mechanism capable of temporarily holding the electrical connecting member in the housing at a temporary holding position where the free end side of the second conductor is lifted, the electrical connecting member being the second On the free end side of the conductor, a pushed body that is pushed by the electronic component from the temporary holding position to the first accommodation completion position along the insertion path of the electronic component to the second accommodation completion position. It is characterized by having.

ここで、前記仮保持機構は、前記電気接続部材と前記筐体の内の少なくとも一方に設けることが望ましい。 Here, it is preferable that the temporary holding mechanism is provided on at least one of the electrical connection member and the housing.

また、前記仮保持機構は、前記第１収容室の壁面から突出させ、前記電子部品の前記第２収容完了位置に向けた挿入方向に見た前記第２導電体の端部における前記自由端側と固定端側との間の被支持部を前記仮保持位置のときに支える突起体としての仮保持体を備えることが望ましい。 Further, the temporary holding mechanism projects from the wall surface of the first housing chamber, and the free end side of the end portion of the second conductor viewed in the insertion direction toward the second housing completion position of the electronic component. It is desirable to provide a temporary holding body as a projection body that supports the supported portion between the fixed end side and the fixed end side at the temporary holding position.

また、前記仮保持機構は、前記第１収容室の壁面から突出させ、前記電子部品の前記第２収容完了位置に向けた挿入方向に見た前記第２導電体の端部における前記自由端側と固定端側との間の被支持部を前記仮保持位置のときに弾性変形しながら支える弾性変形体としての仮保持体を備えることが望ましい。 Further, the temporary holding mechanism projects from the wall surface of the first housing chamber, and the free end side of the end portion of the second conductor viewed in the insertion direction toward the second housing completion position of the electronic component. It is desirable to provide a temporary holding body as an elastic deformable body that elastically deforms and supports the supported portion between the fixed end side and the fixed end side.

また、前記被押動体は、前記電子部品における自らの前記第２収容完了位置に向けた挿入方向側に配置されている第３外壁体に対向配置させ、前記第３外壁体によって押動されることが望ましい。 Further, the pushed body is arranged to face a third outer wall body which is arranged on the insertion direction side of the electronic component toward the second accommodation completion position, and is pushed by the third outer wall body.

It is desirable to have a recess for accommodating the pushed body at the completion position.

本発明に係る電気接続箱においては、電気接続部材が仮保持機構によって仮保持位置で筐体に仮保持されているときに、その電気接続部材が成す電子部品の挿入口の第１導電体側が第１収容完了位置で電気接続部材が成す電子部品の挿入口よりも拡張されている。よって、この電気接続箱では、その挿入口から挿入されてきた電子部品が第１導電体で係止され難くなっており、電子部品を第２収容完了位置まで挿入していくことができる。更に、この電気接続箱においては、その挿入口から挿入されてきた電子部品の挿入の進行と共に、この電子部品に被押動体を押動させながら、電気接続部材を仮保持位置から第１収容完了位置まで変位させることができる。このように、本発明に係る電気接続箱は、電気接続部材を仮保持位置に一旦保持させる必要はあるが、その仮保持位置から第１収容完了位置まで電子部品の収容作業の動きに連動させて電気接続部材を変位させることができる。このため、電気接続箱は、電気接続部材を仮保持位置で仮保持させずに第１収容完了位置まで挿入していくものと比較して、この電気接続部材の筐体への収容作業性の低下を抑えることができる。また、本発明に係る電気接続箱は、電子部品を電気接続部材に係止させずに第２収容完了位置まで挿入していくことができるので、電気接続部材や電子部品の収容作業のやり直し等の発生を抑えることができる。従って、本発明に係る電気接続箱は、電気接続部材と電子部品の収容作業性を向上させることができる。 In the electric connection box according to the present invention, when the electric connection member is temporarily held in the housing at the temporary holding position by the temporary holding mechanism, the first conductor side of the insertion port of the electronic component formed by the electric connection member is At the first accommodation completion position, the electric connection member is expanded beyond the insertion port of the electronic component. Therefore, in this electric connection box, the electronic component inserted from the insertion port is less likely to be locked by the first conductor, and the electronic component can be inserted to the second accommodation completion position. Further, in this electric connection box, with the progress of the insertion of the electronic component inserted from the insertion opening, the first connection completion of the electrical connection member from the temporary holding position is performed while the pushed body is being pushed by the electronic component. It can be displaced to a position. As described above, in the electrical junction box according to the present invention, it is necessary to temporarily hold the electrical connection member in the temporary holding position, but the electrical connection member is interlocked with the movement of the electronic component housing work from the temporary holding position to the first housing completion position. The electric connection member can be displaced by the above. For this reason, the electric connection box has a higher workability of accommodating the electric connection member in the housing as compared with a case where the electric connection member is inserted into the first accommodation completion position without temporarily retaining the electric connection member in the temporary retention position. The decrease can be suppressed. Further, in the electric connection box according to the present invention, the electronic component can be inserted to the second accommodation completion position without being locked to the electrical connection member, so that the operation of accommodating the electrical connection member and the electronic component can be redone. Can be suppressed. Therefore, the electrical connection box according to the present invention can improve the workability of housing the electrical connection member and the electronic component.

［実施形態］
本発明に係る電気接続箱の実施形態の１つを図１から図９に基づいて説明する。 [Embodiment]
One of the embodiments of the electrical junction box according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

図１から図７の符号１は、本実施形態の電気接続箱を示す。この電気接続箱１は、電気接続部材１０と電子部品２０と筐体３０とを備える。この電気接続箱１においては、その電子部品２０に対して電気接続部材１０や電線（図示略）を介して接続対象物（図示略）を電気的に接続させる。その接続対象物とは、二次電池などの電源、電気機器（アクチュエータ等）などの負荷、センサなどのことを指している。例えば、筐体３０の内方においては、電子部品２０を電気接続部材１０と一方の電線とに対して電気的に接続させ、かつ、電気接続部材１０を他方の電線に対して電気的に接続させる。この電気接続箱１においては、それぞれの電線が筐体３０の内方から外方に引き出されており、一方の電線を一方の接続対象物に対して電気的に接続し、かつ、他方の電線を他方の接続対象物に対して電気的に接続することによって、それぞれの接続対象物に対して電子部品２０を電気的に接続させる。例えば、この電気接続箱１においては、一方の電線が電源に対して電気的に接続され、かつ、他方の電線が負荷に対して電気的に接続されることによって、その電源と負荷とを電子部品２０を介して電気的に繋ぐ。電気接続箱１は、そのような電線と共にワイヤハーネス（図示略）を成す。 Reference numeral 1 in FIGS. 1 to 7 indicates an electrical junction box of the present embodiment. The electric connection box 1 includes an electric connection member 10, an electronic component 20, and a housing 30. In this electric connection box 1, a connection target (not shown) is electrically connected to the electronic component 20 via the electric connection member 10 and an electric wire (not shown). The connection target refers to a power source such as a secondary battery, a load such as an electric device (actuator or the like), a sensor, or the like. For example, inside the housing 30, the electronic component 20 is electrically connected to the electric connection member 10 and one electric wire, and the electric connection member 10 is electrically connected to the other electric wire. Let In this electric connection box 1, each electric wire is drawn from the inside to the outside of the housing 30, one electric wire is electrically connected to one connection target, and the other electric wire is connected. Is electrically connected to the other connection target, so that the electronic component 20 is electrically connected to each connection target. For example, in this electric junction box 1, one electric wire is electrically connected to a power source, and the other electric wire is electrically connected to a load, so that the power source and the load are electronically connected. It is electrically connected through the component 20. The electric junction box 1 forms a wire harness (not shown) together with such an electric wire.

電気接続部材１０は、金属等の導電性材料で成形する。この電気接続部材１０は、Ｌ字状に直交配置させた第１導電体１１と第２導電体１２とを有する（図１から図８）。ここでは、その第１導電体１１と第２導電体１２とを各々矩形の平板状に形成し、それぞれの１つの辺部同士を互いの交差部としている。よって、この電気接続部材１０においては、その交差部を起点にして、第１導電体１１と第２導電体１２とを互いに直交方向に延在させている。この例示では、この電気接続部材１０として、銅板等の金属板を母材にしてプレス成形された板状のバスバを用いている。 The electric connection member 10 is formed of a conductive material such as metal. The electrical connection member 10 has a first conductor 11 and a second conductor 12 that are orthogonally arranged in an L shape (FIGS. 1 to 8). Here, each of the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 12 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape, and one side portion of each is formed as an intersecting portion of each other. Therefore, in the electrical connection member 10, the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 12 extend in the directions orthogonal to each other, starting from the intersection. In this example, a plate-shaped bus bar that is press-molded using a metal plate such as a copper plate as a base material is used as the electrical connection member 10.

電子部品２０とは、例えば、リレー、ヒューズ等の回路保護部品、コネクタ（例えば、電線の端末に取り付けられたもの）、端子金具（例えば、電線の端末に取り付けられたもの）などのことを指している。ここでは、回路基板、電子制御ユニット（所謂ＥＣＵ）等の電子機器についても、電子部品２０の一形態として考える。この例示の電子部品２０は、電子部品本体（図示略）と、この電子部品本体が収容された筐体２１（図１から図７）と、その電子部品本体に対して電気的に接続された少なくとも２つの端子金具（下記）と、を備える。 The electronic component 20 refers to, for example, a circuit protection component such as a relay or a fuse, a connector (for example, one attached to the end of an electric wire), a terminal fitting (for example, one attached to the end of an electric wire), or the like. ing. Here, electronic devices such as a circuit board and an electronic control unit (so-called ECU) are also considered as one form of the electronic component 20. The electronic component 20 of this example is electrically connected to an electronic component main body (not shown), a housing 21 (FIGS. 1 to 7) accommodating the electronic component main body, and the electronic component main body. And at least two terminal fittings (described below).

電子部品本体とは、例えば、電子部品２０がリレーの場合、そのリレーの回路を構成するコイル等の回路構成部品のことを指している。筐体２１は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形されている。この筐体２１は、電気接続部材１０の第１導電体１１に間隔を空けて対向配置される第１外壁体２１ａと、電気接続部材１０の第２導電体１２に間隔を空けて対向配置される第２外壁体２１ｂと、を有する（図１から図６）。 When the electronic component 20 is a relay, for example, the electronic component body refers to a circuit component such as a coil that constitutes a circuit of the relay. The housing 21 is formed of an insulating material such as synthetic resin. The housing 21 is arranged to face the first conductor 11 of the electrical connection member 10 with a space therebetween and to face the first outer wall body 21 a with the second conductor 12 of the electrical connection member 10 to face it. And a second outer wall body 21b (FIGS. 1 to 6).

この例示の筐体２１は、方体を成している。よって、この例示の筐体２１においては、６つの外壁体の内の直交配置されている２つを第１外壁体２１ａ及び第２外壁体２１ｂとして利用する。この例示の第１外壁体２１ａは、その外壁面が第１導電体１１の平面と平行状態で間隔を空けて対向配置される。また、この例示の第２外壁体２１ｂは、その外壁面が第２導電体１２の平面と平行状態で間隔を空けて対向配置される。 The housing 21 in this example has a rectangular shape. Therefore, in the case 21 of this example, two of the six outer wall bodies that are arranged orthogonally are used as the first outer wall body 21a and the second outer wall body 21b. The outer wall surfaces of the first outer wall body 21a in this example are arranged in parallel with the plane of the first conductor 11 with a space therebetween so as to face each other. Further, the second outer wall body 21b in this example is arranged so that the outer wall surface thereof is opposed to the plane of the second conductor 12 in parallel with a space therebetween.

この例示の電子部品２０は、第１端子金具２２と第２端子金具２３とを備えている（図１、図２、図４及び図５）。その第１端子金具２２と第２端子金具２３は、各々、相手方に対して物理的且つ電気的に接続される電気接続部２２ａ，２３ａを有している。この電子部品２０においては、それぞれの電気接続部２２ａ，２３ａを第１外壁体２１ａに設ける。それぞれの電気接続部２２ａ，２３ａは、第１外壁体２１ａにおいて、互いに間隔を空けて並べて配置する。例えば、ここで示す第１端子金具２２と第２端子金具２３は、互いに間隔を空けて並べて配置されており、各々、第１外壁体２１ａの外壁面から当該外壁面に対する直交方向に向けて端部を突出させている。第１端子金具２２と第２端子金具２３は、各々、その突出状態の端部を電気接続部２２ａ，２３ａとして利用する。例えば、第１端子金具２２と第２端子金具２３は、各々、第１外壁体２１ａの外壁面からの突出方向を筒軸方向とする円筒体を有しており、その円筒体の筒軸方向における一方の端部を第１外壁体２１ａの外壁面から突出させることで、その円環状の端部を電気接続部２２ａ，２３ａとして利用する。 The illustrated electronic component 20 includes a first terminal fitting 22 and a second terminal fitting 23 (FIGS. 1, 2, 4, and 5). The first terminal fitting 22 and the second terminal fitting 23 each have electrical connection portions 22a and 23a that are physically and electrically connected to the other party. In the electronic component 20, the electric connection portions 22a and 23a are provided on the first outer wall body 21a. The respective electrical connection portions 22a and 23a are arranged side by side with a space therebetween in the first outer wall body 21a. For example, the first terminal fitting 22 and the second terminal fitting 23 shown here are arranged side by side with a space between each other, and are respectively arranged from the outer wall surface of the first outer wall body 21a toward the direction orthogonal to the outer wall surface. The part is protruding. The first terminal fitting 22 and the second terminal fitting 23 respectively utilize the protruding end portions as the electrical connecting portions 22a and 23a. For example, each of the first terminal fitting 22 and the second terminal fitting 23 has a cylindrical body in which the direction of protrusion from the outer wall surface of the first outer wall body 21a is the cylinder axis direction. By projecting one end portion of the above from the outer wall surface of the first outer wall body 21a, the annular end portion thereof is used as the electrical connection portions 22a and 23a.

この電子部品２０においては、電気接続部材１０の第１導電体１１に対して第１端子金具２２の電気接続部２２ａを物理的且つ電気的に接続させる。例えば、第１端子金具２２の円筒体においては、その内周面に雌螺子部（図示略）が形成されている。そして、第１導電体１１には、電気接続部２２ａと同心上に配置される円形の貫通孔１１ａが形成されている（図１、図２、図４、図６及び図８）。ここでは、第１導電体１１と第１外壁体２１ａとが対向配置されているときに、第１導電体１１の貫通孔１１ａの周縁部と電気接続部２２ａの円環状の端面とを接触させる。第１導電体１１と第１端子金具２２は、その貫通孔１１ａと電気接続部２２ａとを同心上に配置し、貫通孔１１ａに挿通させた雄螺子部（図示略）を円筒体に螺合させることによって、物理的且つ電気的に接続される。 In this electronic component 20, the electrical connection portion 22a of the first terminal fitting 22 is physically and electrically connected to the first conductor 11 of the electrical connection member 10. For example, a female screw portion (not shown) is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body of the first terminal fitting 22. Then, the first conductor 11 is formed with a circular through hole 11a arranged concentrically with the electrical connection portion 22a (FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8). Here, when the first conductor 11 and the first outer wall body 21a are arranged to face each other, the peripheral portion of the through hole 11a of the first conductor 11 is brought into contact with the annular end surface of the electrical connection portion 22a. .. In the first conductor 11 and the first terminal fitting 22, the through hole 11a and the electrical connecting portion 22a are concentrically arranged, and the male screw portion (not shown) inserted into the through hole 11a is screwed into the cylindrical body. By doing so, they are physically and electrically connected.

尚、第２端子金具２３の電気接続部２３ａには、電気接続部２２ａと同じように、例えば、電線の端末の端子金具（図示略）が雄螺子部（図示略）による円筒体の雌螺子部への螺子止めによって物理的且つ電気的に接続される。 In the electric connection portion 23a of the second terminal fitting 23, for example, a terminal fitting (not shown) at the end of the wire is a cylindrical female screw with a male screw portion (not shown), as in the electric connecting portion 22a. Physically and electrically connected by screwing to the part.

筐体３０は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形する。この筐体３０は、図示しないが、複数の分割筐体を互いに組み付けることによって形成される収容箱であり、電気接続部材１０や電子部品２０が収容される。この筐体３０は、電気接続部材１０を収容する第１収容室３１と、電子部品２０を収容する第２収容室３２と、を有する（図１から図３及び図５から図７）。この筐体３０においては、複数の分割筐体の内の１つに第１収容室３１と第２収容室３２とが形成されている。例えば、この筐体３０は、対向配置された２つの開口を有し、その内方の空間に第１収容室３１及び第２収容室３２が形成された第１分割筐体（所謂フレーム）と、第１分割筐体の一方の開口を塞ぐ第２分割筐体（所謂アッパカバー）と、第１分割筐体の他方の開口を塞ぐ第３分割筐体（所謂ロアカバー）と、が組み付けられて形成されている。 The housing 30 is formed of an insulating material such as synthetic resin. Although not shown, the housing 30 is a housing box formed by assembling a plurality of divided housings together, and houses the electrical connection member 10 and the electronic component 20. The housing 30 has a first storage chamber 31 that stores the electrical connection member 10 and a second storage chamber 32 that stores the electronic component 20 (FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7). In this housing 30, a first housing chamber 31 and a second housing chamber 32 are formed in one of the plurality of divided housings. For example, the casing 30 has a first divided casing (a so-called frame) having two openings arranged to face each other and having a first accommodation chamber 31 and a second accommodation chamber 32 formed in an inner space thereof. A second split casing (so-called upper cover) that closes one opening of the first split casing and a third split casing (so-called lower cover) that closes the other opening of the first split casing. Has been formed.

第１収容室３１は、収容完了位置（以下、「第１収容完了位置」という。）に電気接続部材１０を収容させる部屋である（図４から図７）。この第１収容室３１は、第１導電体１１が収容される第１収容部３１ａと、第２導電体１２が収容される第２収容部３１ｂと、を有する（図１及び図３から図７）。その第１収容部３１ａと第２収容部３１ｂは、Ｌ字状に直交配置されており、互いの交差部を起点にして、各々の部屋を直交方向に延在させている。 The first accommodation chamber 31 is a room for accommodating the electrical connection member 10 at the accommodation completion position (hereinafter, referred to as “first accommodation completion position”) (FIGS. 4 to 7). The first accommodating chamber 31 has a first accommodating portion 31a in which the first conductor 11 is accommodated and a second accommodating portion 31b in which the second conductor 12 is accommodated (see FIGS. 1 and 3). 7). The first accommodating portion 31a and the second accommodating portion 31b are arranged orthogonally to each other in an L-shape, and each room extends in the orthogonal direction with the intersecting portion as a starting point.

ここで、電気接続部材１０は、第１導電体１１の交差部からの延在方向と第２導電体１２の交差部からの延在方向とに対する直交方向に沿って、第１収容室３１に挿入されていく。よって、第１収容部３１ａと第２収容部３１ｂは、互いの交差部からの延在方向に対する直交方向が電気接続部材１０の挿入方向となるように形成する。第１収容室３１は、電気接続部材１０の収容作業が完了したときに、第１収容部３１ａ及び第２収容部３１ｂの延在方向に対する直交方向と第１導電体１１及び第２導電体１２の延在方向に対する直交方向とを一致させる。この第１収容室３１においては、その収容作業の完了位置が電気接続部材１０の収容完了位置（第１収容完了位置）となる。 Here, the electrical connection member 10 is provided in the first storage chamber 31 along the direction orthogonal to the extending direction from the intersection of the first conductors 11 and the extending direction from the intersection of the second conductors 12. It will be inserted. Therefore, the first accommodating portion 31a and the second accommodating portion 31b are formed such that the direction orthogonal to the extending direction from the intersecting portion is the inserting direction of the electrical connection member 10. When the accommodation work of the electrical connection member 10 is completed, the first accommodation chamber 31 has a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the first accommodation portion 31 a and the second accommodation portion 31 b, the first conductor 11, and the second conductor 12. The direction orthogonal to the extending direction of is matched. In the first accommodation chamber 31, the completion position of the accommodation work is the accommodation completion position of the electrical connection member 10 (first accommodation completion position).

第２収容室３２は、収容完了位置（以下、「第２収容完了位置」という。）に電子部品２０を収容させる部屋である（図４から図７）。その第２収容完了位置とは、電子部品２０の収容作業の完了位置であり、第１収容完了位置の電気接続部材１０の第１導電体１１に第１外壁体２１ａが対向配置され、かつ、第１収容完了位置の電気接続部材１０の第２導電体１２に第２外壁体２１ｂが対向配置されている位置のことをいう。この例示では、第１収容完了位置の第１導電体１１の平面に対して第１外壁体２１ａの外壁面が平行状態で間隔を空けて対向配置され、かつ、第１収容完了位置の第２導電体１２の平面に対して第２外壁体２１ｂの外壁面が平行状態で間隔を空けて対向配置されている位置が収容完了位置（第２収容完了位置）となる。 The second storage chamber 32 is a room for storing the electronic component 20 in the storage completion position (hereinafter, referred to as “second storage completion position”) (FIGS. 4 to 7). The second accommodation completion position is a completion position of the operation of accommodating the electronic component 20, the first outer wall body 21a is arranged to face the first conductor 11 of the electrical connection member 10 at the first accommodation completion position, and It means the position where the second outer wall body 21b is arranged opposite to the second conductor 12 of the electrical connection member 10 at the first accommodation completion position. In this example, the outer wall surface of the first outer wall member 21a is arranged in parallel with and is opposed to the plane of the first conductor 11 at the first accommodation completion position, and is disposed at the second accommodation position at the second accommodation completion position. The position where the outer wall surface of the second outer wall member 21b is arranged in parallel to and facing the plane of the conductor 12 with a space therebetween is the accommodation completion position (second accommodation completion position).

この第２収容室３２は、第１収容完了位置の第１導電体１１と第２収容完了位置の第１外壁体２１ａの電気接続部２２ａとを接触させるべく、第１収容室３１の第１収容部３１ａとの間に間仕切りを置かずに連通させる。一方、電気接続部材１０と電子部品２０は、第１導電体１１と電気接続部２２ａとを螺子止めする前に第２導電体１２が第２外壁体２１ｂ側に傾いてしまうと、第１導電体１１の貫通孔１１ａと電気接続部２２ａとが同心上に配置されるまで位置調整しなければならない。このため、この筐体３０においては、第２導電体１２が第２外壁体２１ｂ側に傾かないように、第１収容完了位置の第２導電体１２と第２収容完了位置の第２外壁体２１ｂとの間に間仕切り壁３３を介在させている（図１から図３及び図５から図７）。 The second accommodating chamber 32 has a first accommodating chamber 31 that is in contact with the first conductor 11 at the first accommodating completed position and the electrical connection portion 22a of the first outer wall body 21a at the second accommodating completed position. The storage section 31a is communicated with without a partition. On the other hand, in the electrical connection member 10 and the electronic component 20, if the second conductor 12 tilts toward the second outer wall body 21b before the first conductor 11 and the electrical connection portion 22a are screwed together, the first conductivity The through hole 11a of the body 11 and the electrical connection portion 22a must be aligned until they are concentrically arranged. Therefore, in this housing 30, the second conductor 12 at the first accommodation completion position and the second outer wall body at the second accommodation completion position are arranged so that the second conductor 12 does not tilt toward the second outer wall body 21b. A partition wall 33 is interposed between the partition wall 21 and 21b (FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7).

この第２収容室３２は、第２収容完了位置で電子部品２０が載せ置かれる載置面３２ａを有する（図１から図３及び図７）。ここでは、第１外壁体２１ａと第２外壁体２１ｂとに連なる第３外壁体２１ｃを載置面３２ａに載せ置く。その第３外壁体２１ｃは、電子部品２０における自らの第２収容完了位置に向けた挿入方向側に配置されている。 The second accommodation chamber 32 has a placement surface 32a on which the electronic component 20 is placed at the second accommodation completion position (FIGS. 1 to 3 and 7). Here, the third outer wall body 21c connected to the first outer wall body 21a and the second outer wall body 21b is placed on the placement surface 32a. The third outer wall body 21c is arranged on the insertion direction side of the electronic component 20 toward the second accommodation completion position of itself.

この筐体３０は、図示しないが、その第１収容室３１と第２収容室３２の他に、別の電気接続部材１０を収容する収容室、電気接続部材１０とは異なる別の電気接続部材を収容する収容室、別の電子部品２０を収容する収容室、電子部品２０とは異なる別の電子部品を収容する収容室等が形成されていてもよい。 Although not shown, the housing 30 includes, in addition to the first accommodating chamber 31 and the second accommodating chamber 32, an accommodating chamber that accommodates another electrical connecting member 10 and another electrical connecting member different from the electrical connecting member 10. An accommodation chamber for accommodating the electronic component, an accommodation chamber for accommodating another electronic component 20, an accommodation chamber for accommodating another electronic component different from the electronic component 20, and the like may be formed.

ところで、この電気接続箱１においては、電気接続部材１０が第１収容完了位置に収容されている状態で電子部品２０を第２収容完了位置まで挿入していこうとすると、又は、電子部品２０が第２収容完了位置に収容されている状態で電気接続部材１０を第１収容完了位置まで挿入していこうとすると、その挿入作業の途中で第１導電体１１と電子部品２０（例えば、電気接続部２２ａ）とが接触してしまう可能性がある。そのような組付け作業中の接触は、電気接続部材１０と電子部品２０と筐体３０の寸法ばらつきが各々の規定の公差の範囲内であっても、また、電気接続部材１０と筐体３０の組付けばらつきや電子部品２０と筐体３０の組付けばらつきが各々の規定の公差の範囲内であっても、起こり得る可能性がある。このため、挿入作業の途中で第１導電体１１と電子部品２０とが接触して係止されてしまったときには、電気接続部材１０や電子部品２０の収容作業をやり直すなどの一手間が少なくとも必要になってしまう。 By the way, in the electric connection box 1, when the electronic component 20 is inserted to the second accommodation completion position while the electrical connection member 10 is accommodated in the first accommodation completion position, When the electric connection member 10 is inserted into the first accommodation completion position while being accommodated in the second accommodation completion position, the first conductor 11 and the electronic component 20 (e.g., electrical connection) are inserted during the insertion work. There is a possibility of contact with the portion 22a). Even if the dimensional variations of the electrical connection member 10, the electronic component 20, and the housing 30 are within the respective specified tolerances, the contact during the assembling work is also performed. There is a possibility that the assembly variation and the assembly variation between the electronic component 20 and the housing 30 are within the specified tolerances. Therefore, when the first conductor 11 and the electronic component 20 are contacted and locked in the middle of the insertion work, at least one step such as redoing the work of accommodating the electrical connection member 10 and the electronic component 20 is required. Become.

そこで、この電気接続箱１は、電気接続部材１０と電子部品２０の収容作業性を向上させるべく、次のような構成を採っている。 Therefore, the electric connection box 1 has the following configuration in order to improve the workability of housing the electric connection member 10 and the electronic component 20.

この電気接続箱１においては、電気接続部材１０や電子部品２０の収容作業をやり直す必要のない位置及び状態で電気接続部材１０を筐体３０に仮保持しておき、第２収容完了位置に向けた電子部品２０の収容作業の動きに連動させて、電気接続部材１０を仮保持位置の状態から第１収容完了位置の状態に変位させる。電気接続部材１０の仮保持位置とは、電子部品２０の挿入口の周縁の一部となる第１導電体１１を電子部品２０の挿入軌跡上から遠ざけることによって、その挿入口の第１導電体１１側を拡張させた位置のことである。この電気接続箱１では、そのように電子部品２０の挿入口を拡げておくことによって、挿入の途中で電子部品２０が第１導電体１１に係止されないようにする。そして、この電気接続箱１においては、第２収容完了位置に向けた電子部品２０の挿入が進むに連れて、この電子部品２０で押し動かしながら電気接続部材１０を仮保持位置の状態から第１収容完了位置の状態に変位させる。例えば、仮保持位置の電気接続部材１０においては、少なくとも第１外壁体２１ａから突出させている電気接続部２２ａが第１導電体１１に間隔を空けて対向配置されるまで、電気接続部２２ａを第１導電体１１に接触させないように、電子部品２０の挿入軌跡上から第１導電体１１を遠ざけておく。 In this electrical connection box 1, the electrical connection member 10 is temporarily held in the housing 30 at a position and in a state where it is not necessary to re-accommodate the electrical connection member 10 and the electronic component 20, and the electrical connection member 10 is directed toward the second accommodation completion position. The electric connection member 10 is displaced from the state of the temporary holding position to the state of the first housing completion position in association with the movement of the housing operation of the electronic component 20. The temporary holding position of the electrical connection member 10 means that the first conductor 11 of the insertion opening of the electronic component 20 is moved away from the insertion trajectory of the electronic component 20 by forming a part of the peripheral edge of the insertion opening of the electronic component 20. It is the position where the 11 side is expanded. In the electric junction box 1, the insertion opening of the electronic component 20 is expanded so that the electronic component 20 is not locked by the first conductor 11 during the insertion. Then, in the electrical connection box 1, as the electronic component 20 is inserted toward the second accommodation completion position, the electrical connection member 10 is pushed and moved by the electronic component 20 from the state of the temporary holding position to the first position. It is displaced to the state of the storage completion position. For example, in the electrical connection member 10 in the temporary holding position, at least the electrical connection portions 22a projecting from the first outer wall body 21a are arranged so as to face the first conductor 11 with a space therebetween. The first conductor 11 is kept away from the insertion path of the electronic component 20 so as not to contact the first conductor 11.

先ず、この電気接続箱１は、電気接続部材１０を第１収容完了位置に対して傾けて、第１導電体１１よりも第２導電体１２の自由端側を持ち上げた仮保持位置で電気接続部材１０を筐体３０に仮保持させることが可能な仮保持機構４０を備える（図２、図３及び図５から図７）。その仮保持位置では、第１導電体１１及び第１導電体１１並びに第２導電体１２の交差部よりも第２導電体１２の自由端側を持ち上げることによって、第１導電体１１における挿入方向とは逆側の端部を電子部品２０の挿入軌跡上から遠ざける（図２及び図３）。 First, the electric connection box 1 is electrically connected at a temporary holding position in which the electric connection member 10 is tilted with respect to the first accommodation completion position and the free end side of the second conductor 12 is lifted above the first conductor 11. A temporary holding mechanism 40 capable of temporarily holding the member 10 in the housing 30 is provided (FIGS. 2, 3, and 5 to 7). At the temporary holding position, the free end side of the second conductor 12 is lifted above the intersection of the first conductor 11, the first conductor 11, and the second conductor 12, so that the insertion direction in the first conductor 11 is increased. The end portion on the opposite side to is separated from the insertion path of the electronic component 20 (FIGS. 2 and 3).

この電気接続箱１においては、電気接続部材１０を第１収容室３１に挿入していきながら、この電気接続部材１０を仮保持機構４０によって仮保持位置で筐体３０に仮保持させる。これにより、この電気接続箱１においては、電気接続部材１０が成す電子部品２０の挿入口の第１導電体１１側が第１収容完了位置で電気接続部材１０が成す電子部品２０の挿入口よりも拡がる。この電気接続箱１においては、電気接続部材１０が仮保持位置の状態のときに、この電気接続部材１０が一部を成す挿入口から電子部品２０を挿入していく。この電気接続箱１では、その挿入口の第１導電体１１側が拡張されているので、この挿入口から挿入されてきた電子部品２０が第１導電体１１で係止され難くなっており、電子部品２０を第２収容完了位置まで挿入していくことができる。 In this electric connection box 1, while the electric connection member 10 is being inserted into the first storage chamber 31, the electric connection member 10 is temporarily held by the housing 30 at the temporary holding position by the temporary holding mechanism 40. As a result, in this electric connection box 1, the first conductor 11 side of the insertion port of the electronic component 20 formed by the electric connection member 10 is located closer to the first housing completion position than the insertion port of the electronic component 20 formed by the electric connection member 10. spread. In this electric connection box 1, when the electric connection member 10 is in the temporary holding position, the electronic component 20 is inserted from the insertion port which the electric connection member 10 forms a part of. In this electrical junction box 1, the insertion port has the first conductor 11 side expanded, so that the electronic component 20 inserted from this insertion port is less likely to be locked by the first conductor 11, and The component 20 can be inserted to the second accommodation completion position.

更に、この電気接続箱１において、電気接続部材１０は、第２導電体１２の自由端側に、電子部品２０の第２収容完了位置への挿入軌跡に沿って仮保持位置から第１収容完了位置まで電子部品２０に押動される被押動体１３を有する（図１から図３及び図５から図８）。つまり、この電気接続部材１０は、第２導電体１２の自由端側で、かつ、電子部品２０の第２収容完了位置への挿入軌跡上に、仮保持位置から第１収容完了位置まで電子部品２０に押動される被押動体１３を有している。これにより、この電気接続箱１においては、挿入口から挿入されてきた電子部品２０の挿入が進むと、この電子部品２０に被押動体１３に当接し、電子部品２０の挿入を更に進めることによって、この電子部品２０に被押動体１３が押動されながら、電気接続部材１０が仮保持位置から第１収容完了位置まで変位していく。 Further, in this electrical connection box 1, the electrical connection member 10 is provided on the free end side of the second conductor 12 along the insertion path of the electronic component 20 to the second accommodation completion position from the temporary holding position to the first accommodation completion. The driven body 13 is pushed to the position by the electronic component 20 (FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 8). That is, the electrical connection member 10 is an electronic component from the temporary holding position to the first accommodation completion position on the free end side of the second conductor 12 and on the insertion trajectory of the electronic component 20 to the second accommodation completion position. The driven body 13 is pushed by 20. As a result, in the electric junction box 1, when the electronic component 20 inserted from the insertion opening progresses, the pushed body 13 is brought into contact with the electronic component 20, and the electronic component 20 is further inserted. The electric connection member 10 is displaced from the temporary holding position to the first accommodation completion position while the pushed body 13 is pushed by the electronic component 20.

このように、本実施形態の電気接続箱１は、電気接続部材１０を仮保持位置に一旦保持させる必要はあるが、その仮保持位置から第１収容完了位置まで電子部品２０の収容作業の動きに連動させて電気接続部材１０を変位させることができる。このため、電気接続箱１は、電気接続部材１０を仮保持位置で仮保持させずに第１収容完了位置まで挿入していくものと比較して、この電気接続部材１０の筐体３０への収容作業性の低下を抑えることができる。また、本実施形態の電気接続箱１は、電子部品２０を電気接続部材１０に係止させずに第２収容完了位置まで挿入していくことができるので、電気接続部材１０や電子部品２０の収容作業のやり直し等の発生を抑えることができる。従って、本実施形態の電気接続箱１は、電気接続部材１０と電子部品２０の収容作業性を向上させることができる。 As described above, in the electrical junction box 1 of the present embodiment, it is necessary to temporarily hold the electrical connection member 10 in the temporary holding position, but the movement of the housing operation of the electronic component 20 from the temporary holding position to the first housing completion position. The electric connection member 10 can be displaced in conjunction with the. For this reason, the electric connection box 1 is configured such that the electric connection member 10 is inserted into the housing 30 as compared with a case where the electric connection member 10 is inserted to the first accommodation completion position without being temporarily held at the temporary holding position. It is possible to suppress deterioration of the workability of accommodation. Further, in the electrical connection box 1 of the present embodiment, the electronic component 20 can be inserted to the second accommodation completion position without being locked to the electrical connection member 10, so that the electrical connection member 10 and the electronic component 20 can be inserted. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of redoing the accommodation work. Therefore, the electrical connection box 1 of the present embodiment can improve the workability of housing the electrical connection member 10 and the electronic component 20.

具体的に、仮保持機構４０は、電気接続部材１０と筐体３０の内の少なくとも一方に設ける。例えば、この仮保持機構４０は、電気接続部材１０と筐体３０の内の何れか一方に設けた突起体であってもよく、電気接続部材１０と筐体３０の双方に設けた突起体を係合させるものであってもよい。ここでは、筐体３０に設けた仮保持機構４０について例示する。 Specifically, the temporary holding mechanism 40 is provided on at least one of the electric connection member 10 and the housing 30. For example, the temporary holding mechanism 40 may be a protrusion provided on either one of the electrical connection member 10 and the housing 30, and the protrusions provided on both the electrical connection member 10 and the housing 30 may be provided. It may be engaged. Here, the temporary holding mechanism 40 provided in the housing 30 will be exemplified.

仮保持機構４０は、第２収容部３１ｂを成す壁面から突出させた仮保持体４１を備える。第２収容部３１ｂを成す壁面とは、第１収容室３１の壁面（底面３１ｃ）、間仕切り壁３３の壁面又は間仕切り壁３３の壁面に対向配置されている筐体３０の壁面等のことであある。この例示では、第１収容室３１の壁面（底面３１ｃ）から仮保持体４１を突出させている。その第１収容室３１の底面３１ｃは、第２収容室３２の載置面３２ａと同一平面上に形成されている。ここで示す仮保持体４１は、その底面３１ｃと平行な矩形の頂面４１ａを有している（図２、図３、図６及び図７）。また、この仮保持体４１は、第１収容室３１に挿入されてきた電気接続部材１０の第２導電体１２を仮保持位置で支持するものとして形成する。よって、この仮保持体４１は、第１収容室３１における第２収容部３１ｂの壁面（底面３１ｃ）から突出させる。また、この仮保持体４１は、電子部品２０の第２収容完了位置に向けた挿入方向に見た第２導電体１２の端部１２ａにおける自由端側と固定端側との間の被支持部１２ａ１を仮保持位置のときに支える突起体として形成する（図２及び図３）。被支持部１２ａ１は、その第２導電体１２の端部１２ａにおける自由端側と固定端側との間の一部分である。 The temporary holding mechanism 40 includes a temporary holding body 41 that protrudes from the wall surface that forms the second accommodation portion 31b. The wall surface forming the second storage portion 31b is the wall surface (bottom surface 31c) of the first storage chamber 31, the wall surface of the partition wall 33, or the wall surface of the housing 30 that is arranged to face the wall surface of the partition wall 33. is there. In this example, the temporary holding body 41 is projected from the wall surface (bottom surface 31c) of the first storage chamber 31. The bottom surface 31c of the first storage chamber 31 is formed on the same plane as the mounting surface 32a of the second storage chamber 32. The temporary holder 41 shown here has a rectangular top surface 41a parallel to the bottom surface 31c (FIGS. 2, 3, 6, and 7). In addition, the temporary holding body 41 is formed to support the second conductor 12 of the electrical connection member 10 inserted into the first storage chamber 31 at the temporary holding position. Therefore, the temporary holding body 41 is projected from the wall surface (bottom surface 31c) of the second storage portion 31b in the first storage chamber 31. The temporary holder 41 is a supported portion between the free end side and the fixed end side of the end 12a of the second conductor 12 when viewed in the insertion direction toward the second housing completion position of the electronic component 20. 12a 1 is formed as a protrusion that supports the temporary holding position (FIGS. 2 and 3). The supported portion 12a 1 is a part of the end 12a of the second conductor 12 between the free end side and the fixed end side.

仮保持位置の電気接続部材１０の第２収容完了位置に対する傾斜角度は、例えば、挿入口から電子部品２０が挿入されてきた際に、その電子部品２０の電気接続部２２ａが第１導電体１１に間隔を空けて対向配置されるまで、その電気接続部２２ａを第１導電体１１に接触させない大きさとなるように設定する。 The inclination angle of the electrical connection member 10 at the temporary holding position with respect to the second accommodation completion position is, for example, when the electronic component 20 is inserted from the insertion port, the electrical connection portion 22a of the electronic component 20 is the first conductor 11a. The electrical connection portion 22a is set to have a size that does not contact the first conductor 11 until they are opposed to each other with a space therebetween.

ここで、電気接続部材１０は、第１収容室３１に収容されているときに、第２収容室３２に電子部品２０が収容されていなければ、仮保持位置の状態が保たれていることが、電子部品２０の収容作業を行う上で望ましい。そこで、仮保持体４１は、例えば、第１導電体１１と第２導電体１２の被支持部１２ａ１との間に電気接続部材１０の重心を存在させるものとして形成すればよい。これにより、電気接続部材１０は、第１収容室３１に挿入されていった際に、第１導電体１１よりも第２導電体１２の自由端側が持ち上げられた仮保持位置の状態となり、その状態が保たれる。 Here, when the electrical connection member 10 is accommodated in the first accommodating chamber 31, if the electronic component 20 is not accommodated in the second accommodating chamber 32, the state of the temporary holding position may be maintained. It is desirable in carrying out the work of housing the electronic component 20. Therefore, the temporary holding body 41 may be formed, for example, so that the center of gravity of the electrical connection member 10 exists between the first conductor 11 and the supported portion 12a 1 of the second conductor 12. As a result, when the electric connection member 10 is inserted into the first storage chamber 31, the electric connection member 10 is in a state of a temporary holding position in which the free end side of the second conductor 12 is lifted up more than the first conductor 11, The state is maintained.

電気接続部材１０は、仮保持位置のときに、第１導電体１１を第１収容室３１の壁面に係止させる。例えば、この例示の第１収容室３１は、電気接続部材１０が仮保持位置のときに、電子部品２０の挿入方向に見た第１導電体１１の端部１１ｂを係止する係止面３１ｄを第１収容部３１ａの壁面に有している（図３）。ここでは、その仮保持位置での端部１１ｂの端面の傾斜に沿わせた傾斜面を第１収容部３１ａの底面３１ｃに形成し、その傾斜面を係止面３１ｄとして利用している。 The electrical connection member 10 locks the first conductor 11 on the wall surface of the first storage chamber 31 at the temporary holding position. For example, the first accommodation chamber 31 of this example has a locking surface 31d that locks the end portion 11b of the first conductor 11 as viewed in the insertion direction of the electronic component 20 when the electrical connection member 10 is in the temporary holding position. Is provided on the wall surface of the first accommodation portion 31a (FIG. 3). Here, an inclined surface that follows the inclination of the end surface of the end portion 11b at the temporary holding position is formed on the bottom surface 31c of the first accommodating portion 31a, and the inclined surface is used as the locking surface 31d.

この例示の被押動体１３は、電子部品２０の第３外壁体２１ｃに対向配置させ、その第３外壁体２１ｃによって押動されるものとして形成する。この被押動体１３は、第３外壁体２１ｃによる押動が可能な位置まで、第２導電体１２の端部１２ａにおける自由端側から突出させる。ここでは、直交配置された第１片部１３ａと第２片部１３ｂとを有するＬ字状に被押動体１３を形成している（図８）。第１片部１３ａとは、第２導電体１２の端部１２ａから同一平面上で突出させた矩形の片部である。第２片部１３ｂは、第３外壁体２１ｃによる押動が可能な位置まで第１片部１３ａから直交方向に突出させた矩形の片部である。この被押動体１３においては、第２片部１３ｂの一方の平面を第３外壁体２１ｃに対向配置させ、その平面を第３外壁体２１ｃによって押動させる。 The pushed body 13 in this example is disposed so as to face the third outer wall body 21c of the electronic component 20, and is pushed by the third outer wall body 21c. The pushed body 13 is projected from the free end side of the end portion 12a of the second conductor 12 to a position where it can be pushed by the third outer wall body 21c. Here, the pushed body 13 is formed in an L-shape having a first piece portion 13a and a second piece portion 13b arranged orthogonally (FIG. 8). The first piece portion 13a is a rectangular piece portion that protrudes from the end portion 12a of the second conductor 12 on the same plane. The second piece portion 13b is a rectangular piece portion that protrudes in the orthogonal direction from the first piece portion 13a to a position where it can be pushed by the third outer wall body 21c. In the pushed body 13, one plane of the second piece portion 13b is arranged to face the third outer wall body 21c, and the plane is pushed by the third outer wall body 21c.

この例示では、そのようなＬ字状の被押動体１３を用いているので、電気接続部材１０が第１収容完了位置のときに被押動体１３が収容される凹部３４を筐体３０に設けている（図１から図３及び図５から図７）。その凹部３４は、第１収容室３１の第２収容部３１ｂの底面３１ｃを凹ませ、かつ、第２収容室３２の載置面３２ａを凹ませた形状のものとして形成する。 In this example, since such an L-shaped pushed body 13 is used, a recess 34 for accommodating the pushed body 13 when the electric connection member 10 is at the first accommodation completion position is provided in the housing 30. (FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7). The recess 34 is formed in a shape in which the bottom surface 31c of the second storage portion 31b of the first storage chamber 31 is recessed and the mounting surface 32a of the second storage chamber 32 is recessed.

この例示の電気接続箱１においては、電気接続部材１０を第１収容室３１に挿入していくことによって、この電気接続部材１０が仮保持体４１と係止面３１ｄとで支えられた仮保持状態となる。ここでは、仮保持体４１の頂面４１ａにおける係止面３１ｄ側の１つの辺部と係止面３１ｄとによって、電気接続部材１０が傾斜状態で支持される。電気接続箱１においては、この仮保持状態の電気接続部材１０によって、電子部品２０の挿入口の第１導電体１１側が拡張されている。よって、この電気接続箱１では、その挿入口から挿入されてきた電子部品２０の突出状態の電気接続部２２ａが第１導電体１１に引っ掛かり難くなっており、電子部品２０の第２収容完了位置に向けた収容作業を継続させることができる。この電気接続箱１においては、その電子部品２０の収容作業の進行と共に、この電子部品２０の第３外壁体２１ｃが被押動体１３の第２片部１３ｂを押動しながら、電気接続部材１０を仮保持位置から変位させていく。この電気接続箱１では、電子部品２０が第２収容完了位置まで到達した際に、電気接続部材１０が第１収容完了位置となる。この例示では、電気接続部材１０が第１収容完了位置のときに、第２導電体１２が仮保持体４１の頂面４１ａから引き離されている。但し、第２導電体１２は、電気接続部材１０が第１収容完了位置のときに、仮保持体４１の頂面４１ａに載せ置かれていてもよい。 In the illustrated electrical connection box 1, by inserting the electrical connection member 10 into the first storage chamber 31, the electrical connection member 10 is temporarily held by the temporary holder 41 and the locking surface 31d. It becomes a state. Here, the electrical connection member 10 is supported in an inclined state by one side portion on the locking surface 31d side of the top surface 41a of the temporary holding body 41 and the locking surface 31d. In the electric connection box 1, the electric connection member 10 in the temporarily held state expands the insertion port of the electronic component 20 on the first conductor 11 side. Therefore, in this electrical connection box 1, the protruding electrical connection portion 22a of the electronic component 20 inserted through the insertion port is less likely to be caught by the first conductor 11, and the second housing completion position of the electronic component 20 is prevented. It is possible to continue the storage work for. In the electrical connection box 1, as the housing work of the electronic component 20 progresses, the third outer wall body 21c of the electronic component 20 pushes the second piece portion 13b of the driven body 13 while the electrical connection member 10 is being pushed. Is displaced from the temporary holding position. In this electrical junction box 1, when the electronic component 20 reaches the second accommodation completion position, the electrical connection member 10 becomes the first accommodation completion position. In this example, the second conductor 12 is separated from the top surface 41 a of the temporary holder 41 when the electrical connection member 10 is at the first accommodation completion position. However, the second conductor 12 may be placed on the top surface 41a of the temporary holder 41 when the electrical connection member 10 is at the first accommodation completion position.

このように、この電気接続箱１は、先に示したように、電気接続部材１０の筐体３０への収容作業性の低下を抑えつつ、電子部品２０を電気接続部材１０に係止させることなく第２収容完了位置まで挿入していくことができる。従って、この電気接続箱１は、電気接続部材１０と電子部品２０の収容作業性を向上させることができる。 As described above, the electric connection box 1 holds the electronic component 20 in the electric connection member 10 while suppressing deterioration of the workability of housing the electric connection member 10 in the housing 30 as described above. Instead, it can be inserted to the second accommodation completion position. Therefore, the electrical connection box 1 can improve the workability of housing the electrical connection member 10 and the electronic component 20.

ここで、仮保持機構４０は、次のように構成したものであってもよい。ここで示す仮保持機構４０は、第１収容室３１の壁面（底面３１ｃ）から突出させた仮保持体４２を備える（図９）。その仮保持体４２は、先の仮保持体４１と同じように、第１収容室３１に挿入されてきた電気接続部材１０の第２導電体１２を仮保持位置で支持するものとして形成する。よって、この仮保持体４２は、先の仮保持体４１と同じように、第１収容室３１における第２収容部３１ｂの壁面（底面３１ｃ）から突出させる。また、この仮保持体４２は、電子部品２０の第２収容完了位置に向けた挿入方向に見た第２導電体１２の端部１２ａにおける自由端側と固定端側との間の被支持部１２ａ１を仮保持位置のときに弾性変形しながら支える弾性変形体として形成する。この例示の仮保持体４２は、第２収容部３１ｂの底面３１ｃに片持ち状態で支持された弾性変形可能な矩形の片体状に形成している。 Here, the temporary holding mechanism 40 may be configured as follows. The temporary holding mechanism 40 shown here includes a temporary holding body 42 that projects from the wall surface (bottom surface 31c) of the first storage chamber 31 (FIG. 9). Like the temporary holder 41, the temporary holder 42 is formed to support the second conductor 12 of the electrical connection member 10 inserted into the first storage chamber 31 at the temporary holding position. Therefore, like the temporary holder 41, the temporary holder 42 is projected from the wall surface (bottom surface 31c) of the second housing portion 31b in the first housing chamber 31. The temporary holder 42 is a supported portion between the free end side and the fixed end side of the end portion 12a of the second conductor 12 when viewed in the insertion direction toward the second accommodation completion position of the electronic component 20. 12a 1 is formed as an elastic deformable body that supports elastically deforming the 12a 1 at the temporary holding position. The temporary holding body 42 of this example is formed in an elastically deformable rectangular piece body supported in a cantilever state on the bottom surface 31c of the second accommodating portion 31b.

この場合の電気接続箱１においては、電気接続部材１０を第１収容室３１に挿入していくことによって、この電気接続部材１０が仮保持体４２と係止面３１ｄとで傾斜状態になって支えられた仮保持状態となる。よって、この電気接続箱１は、仮保持体４１を用いた場合と同様の効果を得ることができる。 In the electric connection box 1 in this case, by inserting the electric connection member 10 into the first storage chamber 31, the electric connection member 10 is inclined with the temporary holder 42 and the locking surface 31d. It will be in a temporarily held state in which it is supported. Therefore, this electrical junction box 1 can obtain the same effect as when the temporary holder 41 is used.

尚、その仮保持体４２は、先の仮保持体４１と同じように、第２収容部３１ｂを成す壁面から突出させたものであればよい。従って、仮保持体４２は、間仕切り壁３３の壁面や間仕切り壁３３の壁面に対向配置されている筐体３０の壁面等に設けてもよい。 It should be noted that the temporary holding body 42 may be one that is projected from the wall surface forming the second accommodating portion 31b, like the temporary holding body 41 described above. Therefore, the temporary holding body 42 may be provided on the wall surface of the partition wall 33, the wall surface of the housing 30 arranged to face the wall surface of the partition wall 33, or the like.
