As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the wiring member 100 including the busbar 10 and the electric wire 60 has a ferrite portion 70. As shown in FIG. A ferrite 71 is provided in the ferrite portion 70, and the ferrite 71 is covered with a ferrite case 72 made of insulating resin. The ferrite 71 is composed of a pair of split ferrites 71a and 71b, and these split ferrites 71a and 71b are combined to form an elliptical ring. The ferrite 71 is attached to the body of an automobile or the like with a bracket or the like while being covered with a ferrite case 72 .

The bus bar 10 and the electric wire 60 are passed through a ring-shaped ferrite 71, and the outer periphery thereof is covered with the ferrite 71 in the circumferential direction. As a result, the ferrite 71 suppresses the generation of noise even when a high-voltage, high-current current flows through the bus bar 10 and the electric wire 60 . In the ferrite 71, the bus bar 10 and the electric wire 60 are arranged as parallel wiring portions 10A and 60A which are arranged in parallel in close proximity to each other.

The electric wire 60 arranged in parallel with the bus bar 10 is made of an insulated wire in which the outer circumference of the core wire is covered with a jacket made of an insulating resin, and one end thereof is connected to a terminal fitting 61 having a hole 61a. there is A terminal fitting 61 provided at one end of the electric wire 60 is connected to the terminal portion 3 of the electrical junction box, and the other end is connected to, for example, a battery terminal.

An electric wire 23 is connected to the other end of the bus bar 10 . This electric wire 23 is connected to, for example, a terminal of a battery.

Busbar 10 is formed in a plate shape. The bus bar 10 is made of a plate material made of a conductive metal material such as copper, copper alloy, aluminum, or aluminum alloy. The busbar 10 is covered with a case 30 molded from an insulating resin material, except for the connecting portion 21 . The case 30 is composed of a first case 31 and a second case 32 .

The first case 31 is attached to the lower side of the busbar 10 , and the lower side of the busbar 10 is covered with the first case 31 . The second case 32 is mounted on the upper side of the busbar 10 , and the upper side of the busbar 10 is covered with the second case 32 . The second case 32 is assembled to the first case 31 attached to the busbar 10 from above. As a result, the first case 31 and the second case 32 are attached to the busbar 10 , and the busbar 10 is covered with the case 30 composed of the first case 31 and the second case 32 .

The case 30 made up of the first case 31 and the second case 32 has a plurality of locking portions 37 . The lock portion 37 is composed of a locking claw 38 formed in the first case 31 and a locking hole 39 formed in the second case 32 . By assembling the second case 32 to the first case 31 attached to the busbar 10 , the locking claws 38 enter the locking holes 39 to lock the locking portions 37 . As a result, the first case 31 and the second case 32 are locked together.

In the parallel wiring portion 10A of the busbar 10, the case 30 covering the busbar 10 has two support protrusions 41 and 42. As shown in FIG. These support protrusions 41 and 42 are provided on the front and back sides of the case 30 .

8 is an enlarged view of the B portion in FIG. 6. FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of a portion C in FIG. 7. FIG. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the support projections 41 and 42 provided on the case 30 are each formed in a spherical shape. One support projection 41 is integrally formed with the first case 31 (see FIG. 9), and the other support projection 42 is integrally formed with the second case 32 (see FIG. 8).

As shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of ribs 45 are integrally formed around the support projection 41 and extend from the support projection 41 toward the outer periphery. These ribs 45 have a lower projection height than the support projections 41 . In this example, four ribs 45 are formed around the support projection 41 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. A pair of ribs 45 facing each other are formed along the longitudinal direction of busbar 10 , and another pair of ribs 45 facing each other are formed along the width direction of busbar 10 .

As shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of ribs 46 are integrally formed around the support protrusion 42 and extend from the support protrusion 42 toward the outer periphery. These ribs 46 have a lower projection height than the support projections 42 . In this example, four ribs 46 are formed around the support projection 42 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. A pair of ribs 46 facing each other are formed along the longitudinal direction of busbar 10 , and another pair of ribs 46 facing each other are formed along the width direction of busbar 10 .

As shown in FIG. 10, when the parallel wiring portion 10A of the bus bar 10 provided with the support projections 41 and 42 on the case 30 is wired so as to pass through the ferrite 71 composed of the split ferrites 71a and 71b, the respective support The projections 41 and 42 contact the inner surface of the ferrite 71 respectively. At this time, since the support projections 41 and 42 are formed in a spherical shape, they come into point contact with the inner surface of the ferrite 71 .

By the way, the ferrite 71 through which the bus bar 10 and the electric wire 60 are inserted is covered with a ferrite case 72 and mounted on the vehicle body side. Therefore, the bus bar 10 connected to the electric junction box 1 may be tilted relative to the ferrite 71, or an assembly error may occur between the ferrite 71 and the bus bar 10.

Even in such a case, the support projections 41 and 42 of the case 30 of the busbar 10 are in point contact with the inner surface of the ferrite 71, so that the busbar 10 can be passed through the ferrite 71 and easily connected to the electric connection box 1 without difficulty. routed to

As described above, according to the wiring structure according to the present embodiment, in the bus bar 10 which is passed through the ferrite 71 and is adjacent to the electric wire 60, the support projections 41 and 42 provided on the case 30 covering the bus bar 10 contacts the inner surface of the ferrite 71 . As a result, the bus bar 10 passed through the ferrite 71 is routed while being well supported. Since the support projections 41 and 42 provided on the case 30 are spherically formed, they come into point contact with the inner surface of the ferrite 71 . Therefore, even if the bus bar 10 connected to the electric connection box 1 is tilted relative to the ferrite 71 or if an assembly error occurs between the ferrite 71 and the bus bar 10, the bus bar 10 can be passed through the ferrite 71. can be easily routed to the electric connection box 1 without difficulty.

In addition, since the case 30 has ribs 45 and 46 extending from the support projections 41 and 42 that contact the inner surface of the ferrite 71, the formation locations of the support projections 41 and 42 in the case 30 are determined by the ribs 45 and 46. Reinforced. Therefore, even if force is applied to the support protrusions 41 and 42 when the vehicle vibrates in the vertical direction, the influence of the force on the case 30 can be suppressed by the ribs 45 and 46 .

Moreover, since the ribs 45 and 46 have a projection height lower than that of the support projections 41 and 42, the ribs 45 and 46 contact the inner surface of the ferrite 71, thereby preventing the application of excessive force to the case 30. It is possible to support the bus bar 10 by bringing the support projections 41 and 42 into contact with the inner surface of the ferrite 71 while suppressing it.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified, improved, etc. as appropriate. In addition, the material, shape, size, number, location, etc. of each component in the above-described embodiment are arbitrary and not limited as long as the present invention can be achieved.
