Description

本発明は、車両に搭載される車載用電線に止水処理を施す技術に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a technique for performing a water stop treatment on an in-vehicle electric wire mounted on a vehicle.

前記車載用電線としては、高い防水性が求められるものがある。例えば、車両等に設けられる電気回路をアース端子に接続するためのアース用電線は、その端末に固定されたアース接続端子が外部に露出した状態で適当なアース部位(例えば車両のボディ)に接続されるため、当該端末から水分が侵入しやすく、当該水分が被覆材の内側を伝って回路に侵入すると当該回路の正常な動作を妨げるおそれがある。   Some of the on-vehicle electric wires are required to have high waterproof properties. For example, a grounding wire for connecting an electric circuit provided in a vehicle or the like to a grounding terminal is connected to a suitable grounding part (for example, a vehicle body) with the grounding terminal fixed to the terminal exposed to the outside. Therefore, moisture easily enters from the terminal, and if the moisture enters the circuit through the inside of the covering material, there is a possibility that normal operation of the circuit is hindered.

このため、従来から、当該アース用電線をはじめとする車載用電線に止水処理を施すことが行われており、例えば下記特許文献1には、車載用電線の一方の端末に接続された端子上に流動性を有する止水剤を滴下してこれを溜めることにより当該一方の端末に止水剤を供給するとともに、他方の端末からエアを吸引することにより、当該止水剤を前記車載用電線の導体と被覆材との隙間に引き込んで充填する方法が開示されている。
特開2004−355851号公報
For this reason, it has been conventionally practiced to perform a water-stop treatment on an in-vehicle electric wire including the grounding electric wire. For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a terminal connected to one terminal of an in-vehicle electric wire By dropping a water-stopping agent having fluidity on the top and storing it, the water-stopping agent is supplied to the one terminal, and air is sucked from the other terminal, so that the water-stopping agent is used in the vehicle. A method is disclosed in which the wire is drawn into the gap between the conductor of the electric wire and the covering material.
JP 2004-355851 A

しかしながら、電線端末に接続された端子上に流動性を有する止水剤を滴下してこれを溜めることにより止水剤の供給を行う前記特許文献1記載の止水処理方法では、端子の形状や止水剤の滴下量等によっては前記端子上に溜まった止水剤が端子の周囲に溢れ出してしまい、止水剤を安定して供給することができなくなるおそれがあった。   However, in the water-stop treatment method described in Patent Document 1 in which a water-stopping agent is supplied by dropping a water-stopping agent having fluidity onto the terminal connected to the electric wire terminal and collecting the water-stopping agent, the shape of the terminal or Depending on the dripping amount of the water-stopping agent, the water-stopping agent accumulated on the terminal overflows around the terminal, and the water-stopping agent may not be stably supplied.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑み、流動性を有する止水剤をより安定的に電線端末に供給することを可能にすることにより、車載用電線の止水処理をより確実に行うことを目的とする。   In view of such circumstances, the present invention makes it possible to more reliably perform a water-stop treatment of an in-vehicle electric wire by enabling a water-stopping agent having fluidity to be supplied to a wire terminal more stably. Objective.

前記課題を解決するための手段として、本発明は、導体の外側に被覆材を有して車両に搭載される電線であってその一方の端末に端子が接続された車載用電線の当該一方の端末を止水処理するための方法であって、前記一方の端末に接続された端子上に流動性を有する止水剤を滴下してこれを溜めることにより、当該一方の端末に前記止水剤を供給する止水剤供給工程と、前記止水剤の供給中又は供給後に、前記車載用電線の他方の端末から前記被覆材の内側のエアを吸引してその内部を減圧することにより、前記止水剤を前記被覆材の内側に浸透させる減圧工程とを含み、前記止水剤供給工程では、弾性部材の上面に前記端子を押し付け、当該弾性部材を前記端子の下面および両側面を包み込む形状に変形させることにより、前記端子の両側面に密着する溢出防止壁を形成し、当該溢出防止壁を用いて、前記端子上に溜まった止水剤が側方に溢れ出すのを防止することを特徴とするものである(請求項1)。
As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is an electric wire mounted on a vehicle having a coating material on the outside of a conductor, and one of the on-vehicle electric wires having a terminal connected to one end thereof. A method for water-stopping a terminal, wherein a water-stopping agent having a fluidity is dropped onto a terminal connected to the one terminal, and the water-stopping agent is applied to the one terminal by collecting the water-stopping agent. Water supply agent supplying step, and during or after the supply of the water stop agent, by sucking air inside the covering material from the other end of the in-vehicle electric wire and reducing the inside thereof, A pressure reducing step for infiltrating the inside of the covering material with a water stopping agent, and in the water stopping agent supplying step , the terminal is pressed against the upper surface of the elastic member, and the elastic member is wrapped around the lower surface and both side surfaces of the terminal. Both terminals of the terminal Forming extravasation prevention wall in close contact with the surface, using the overflow preventing wall, waterproofing agent accumulated on the terminal is characterized in the Turkey to prevent the overflowing laterally (according Item 1).

この方法によれば、車載用電線の一方の端末に接続された端子上に止水剤を滴下する止水剤供給工程を、端子上に溜まった止水剤が側方に溢れ出すのを防止するための溢出防止壁を前記端子の両側面に密着させた状態で行うことにより、当該止水剤が側方に溢れ出すのを確実に防止しながら止水剤を溜めることができるため、常に安定した状態で止水剤の供給を行うことができる。そして、このように安定的に供給される止水剤を、他方の端末からのエアの吸引によって前記被覆材の内側に引き込むことにより、良好な止水構造を確実に構築することができる。   According to this method, the water-stopping agent supplying step of dripping the water-stopping agent onto the terminal connected to one terminal of the in-vehicle electric wire prevents the water-stopping agent accumulated on the terminal from overflowing to the side. By performing the overflow prevention wall in close contact with both side surfaces of the terminal, the water stop agent can be stored while reliably preventing the water stop agent from overflowing to the side. The water-stopping agent can be supplied in a stable state. And a favorable water stop structure can be constructed | assembled reliably by drawing in the water stop agent supplied in this way inside the said coating | covering material by the suction | inhalation of the air from the other terminal.

特に、弾性部材の上面に端子を押し付けてその弾性部材を変形させることによって前記溢出防止壁を形成するようにした本発明の方法によれば、当該溢出防止壁を端子の両側面に密着させ易いため、止水剤が端子の側方に溢れ出すのを確実に防止することができる。
In particular, according to the method of the present invention to so that to form the spill prevention wall by deforming the elastic member is pressed against the terminal on the upper surface of the elastic member is brought into close contact with the overflow preventing wall on both sides of the terminal Since it is easy, it can prevent reliably that a water stop agent overflows to the side of a terminal.

この場合、例えば弾性部材としてブロック状の弾性体を用い、このブロック状の弾性体の上面に前記端子を押し付けて当該弾性体の上面を凹ませることにより前記溢出防止壁を形成することも可能であるが、このようにすると、ある程度大きい厚みを有する弾性部材を用いる必要が生じる。従って、前記弾性部材としてシート状の弾性体を用い、当該シート状の弾性体の中央部を残してその両外側の部分のみを下から支持しておき、前記中央部に前記端子を押し付けてこの中央部を落とし込むことにより前記溢出防止壁を形成することがより好ましい(請求項2)。
In this case, for example, it is also possible to form the overflow prevention wall by using a block-shaped elastic body as an elastic member and pressing the terminal against the upper surface of the block-shaped elastic body to dent the upper surface of the elastic body. However, in this case, it is necessary to use an elastic member having a certain thickness. Therefore, a sheet-like elastic body is used as the elastic member, and only the outer portions of the sheet-like elastic body are supported from below, leaving the central portion of the sheet-like elastic body, and the terminal is pressed against the central portion. it is more preferable to form the spill prevention wall by dropping a central portion (claim 2).

このようにすれば、厚みの薄いシート状の弾性体を用いながらも、確実に前記溢出防止壁を形成して止水剤の側方への溢出を効果的に防止することができる。   In this way, while using a thin sheet-like elastic body, the overflow prevention wall can be reliably formed to effectively prevent the waterstop agent from overflowing to the side.

前記車載用電線の一方の端末に接続される端子が、前記被覆材の端部に圧着されるインシュレーションバレルと、前記導体のうち被覆材から露出した部分に圧着される導体バレルとを有するものである場合、前記止水剤供給工程は、前記導体バレルとインシュレーションバレルとの間に設定された滴下領域に前記止水剤を滴下してこれを溜めることにより行う工程であることが好ましい(請求項3)。
A terminal connected to one end of the in-vehicle electric wire has an insulation barrel that is crimped to an end of the covering material, and a conductor barrel that is crimped to a portion of the conductor exposed from the covering material. In this case, it is preferable that the water-stopping agent supplying step is a step performed by dropping the water-stopping agent in a dropping region set between the conductor barrel and the insulation barrel and collecting the same. Claim 3 ).

このように、導体バレルとインシュレーションバレルとの間に設定された滴下領域に止水剤を滴下すれば、当該滴下領域に溜まった止水剤が電線軸方向(前後方向)に溢れ出すことを前記両バレルによって抑制できるため、さらに安定した状態で止水剤の供給を行うことができる。   In this way, if the water-stopping agent is dropped onto the dropping region set between the conductor barrel and the insulation barrel, the water-stopping agent accumulated in the dropping region overflows in the electric wire axial direction (front-rear direction). Since it can suppress by the said both barrels, a water stop agent can be supplied in the more stable state.

ここで、前記のように導体バレルとインシュレーションバレルとの間の滴下領域に止水剤を溜めるようにした場合でも、導体に直接圧着される導体バレルの高さが、導体を被覆する被覆材に圧着されるインシュレーションバレルの高さよりも低いことから、前記滴下領域に溜まった止水剤が、高さの低い方の導体バレルを越えて前方に溢れ出すおそれがある。従って、前記止水剤供給工程を、前記端子上に溜まった止水剤が前記導体バレルを越えて前方に溢れ出すのを防止するために前記導体バレル上に載置される載置部材を用いながら行うことが好ましい(請求項4)。
Here, even when the water-stopping agent is stored in the dripping region between the conductor barrel and the insulation barrel as described above, the height of the conductor barrel that is directly crimped to the conductor is the covering material that covers the conductor. Since the height of the insulation barrel to be crimped to is lower than that of the insulation barrel, there is a possibility that the water stopping agent accumulated in the dripping region overflows forward beyond the conductor barrel having the lower height. Therefore, the water-stopping agent supply step uses a mounting member mounted on the conductor barrel in order to prevent the water-stopping agent accumulated on the terminal from overflowing forward beyond the conductor barrel. ( Claim 4 ).

このようにすれば、前記滴下領域に溜まった止水剤が溢れ出すのをより確実に防止することができる。   If it does in this way, it can prevent more reliably that the water stop agent collected in the said dripping area | region overflows.

なお、前記車載用電線の種類や配設個所は特に限定されるものではないが、好ましいものとして、車両に搭載される回路をアースに接続するためのアース用電線が挙げられる(請求項5)。
In addition, although the kind and arrangement | positioning location of the said vehicle-mounted electric wire are not specifically limited, The electric wire for earthing for connecting the circuit mounted in a vehicle to earth | ground is mentioned as a preferable thing ( Claim 5 ). .

この構成によれば、アース用電線に前記止水処理を施すことができるので、一般に車両の外部環境の影響を受けやすい個所(例えば、車両のボディ)に配設されるアースに接続されたアース用電線の端末から反対側の端末へ水分が浸入するのを防止することができる。   According to this configuration, since the water stop treatment can be performed on the grounding wire, the ground is generally connected to the ground disposed at a location (for example, the body of the vehicle) that is easily affected by the external environment of the vehicle. It is possible to prevent moisture from entering from the terminal of the electric wire to the terminal on the opposite side.

ただし、本発明に係る止水処理方法は、前記アース用電線に限られず、例えば、電線途中部の被覆材が剥離されたスプライス線のように被覆材内部への水分の浸入が発生し易い種類のもの、又はコネクタに防水機能が備えられていてもその回路自体に特に高い防水性が要求される回路に接続されるものにも好適に採用することができる。   However, the water stop treatment method according to the present invention is not limited to the grounding wire, and is, for example, a type in which moisture can easily enter the inside of the covering material, such as a splice wire from which the covering material in the middle of the wire is peeled Even if the connector is provided with a waterproof function, it can be suitably used for a circuit connected to a circuit that requires a particularly high waterproof property.

以上のように、本発明の車載用電線の止水処理方法および止水処理装置によれば、流動性を有する止水剤をより安定的に電線端末に供給することができるため、車載用電線の止水処理をより確実に行うことができる。   As described above, according to the water stop treatment method and the water stop treatment apparatus for in-vehicle electric wires according to the present invention, a water stop agent having fluidity can be more stably supplied to the electric wire terminal. The water stop treatment can be performed more reliably.

本発明の好ましい実施の形態を図面を参照しながら説明する。   A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

なお、本実施形態では、車両に搭載された回路をアースに接続するためのアース用電線に止水処理する方法を説明するが、本発明はこれに限らず、高い防水性が求められる各種の車載用電線にも適用可能である。   In addition, although this embodiment demonstrates the method of carrying out a water stop process to the electric wire for earth | ground for connecting the circuit mounted in the vehicle to earth | ground, this invention is not limited to this, The various waterproofness in which high waterproofness is calculated | required It can also be applied to in-vehicle electric wires.

この実施の形態にかかるアース用電線の止水処理方法は、次の各工程を含む。   The water stopping method for grounding wires according to this embodiment includes the following steps.

1)端子圧着工程
この工程は、図1(a)(b)に示すようなアース用電線10の一方の端末にアース接続端子20を圧着固定する工程である。
1) Terminal crimping process This process is a process of crimping and fixing the ground connection terminal 20 to one end of the grounding electric wire 10 as shown in FIGS.

前記アース用電線10には、導体12の周囲に被覆材14を有する絶縁電線を用いる。そして、その一方の端末の被覆材14を所定長さだけ除去して前記導体12を露出させておく。   As the grounding wire 10, an insulated wire having a covering 14 around the conductor 12 is used. Then, the covering material 14 at one end is removed by a predetermined length to expose the conductor 12.

このアース用電線10の端末に対し、図1(a)(b)に示すようなアース接続端子20を圧着固定する。図示のアース接続端子20は、単一の金属板で構成され、車両のボディアースに接続されるアース接続部21と、導体バレル22およびインシュレーションバレル24とを一体に有している。アース接続部21には図略のボルトが挿通可能な挿通孔21aが設けられ、当該ボルトによって前記アース接続部21が車両のボディに締結されることにより、当該ボディに電気的に接続される(すなわちボディアースに接続される)ようになっている。   A ground connection terminal 20 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B is fixed to the end of the ground wire 10 by pressure. The illustrated ground connection terminal 20 is composed of a single metal plate, and integrally includes a ground connection portion 21 connected to a vehicle body ground, a conductor barrel 22 and an insulation barrel 24. The ground connection portion 21 is provided with an insertion hole 21a through which a bolt (not shown) can be inserted. The ground connection portion 21 is fastened to the body of the vehicle by the bolt, thereby being electrically connected to the body ( That is, it is connected to the body ground).

このアース接続端子20の前記両バレル22,24が開いた状態で、前記のように被覆材14が除去されたアース用電線10の端末をセットし、その後、前記導体バレル22およびインシュレーションバレル24をそれぞれ閉じて前記導体12の露出部分および被覆材14の端部に圧着(かしめ)固定する。   In a state where both the barrels 22 and 24 of the ground connection terminal 20 are opened, the end of the grounding wire 10 from which the covering material 14 has been removed as described above is set, and then the conductor barrel 22 and the insulation barrel 24 are set. Are closed and fixed to the exposed portion of the conductor 12 and the end portion of the covering material 14 by crimping.

2)止水剤供給工程
この工程は、前記アース用電線10の一方の端末(アース接続端子20が接続された側の端末)を図2(a)〜(c)に示す治具50にセットし、その状態で当該一方の端末に対して流動性を有する止水剤を供給する工程である。なお、図2(a)はアース用電線10の一方の端末を治具50にセットした状態を示す平面図、図2(b)はその側面図、図2(c)は同図(b)のI−I断面図である。
2) Water-stopping agent supply step In this step, one end of the ground wire 10 (the end on the side to which the ground connection terminal 20 is connected) is set in the jig 50 shown in FIGS. And it is the process of supplying the water stop agent which has fluidity | liquidity with respect to the said one terminal in the state. 2A is a plan view showing a state in which one end of the grounding wire 10 is set on the jig 50, FIG. 2B is a side view thereof, and FIG. 2C is the same drawing (b). It is II sectional drawing.

ここで用いられる止水剤は、少なくとも供給時に流動性を有し、かつ、電線使用時にはその充填位置から移動しにくく、かつ電線の曲げ等に追従して変形できる程度の柔軟性を有するものが好ましい。例えば、比較的粘度の高い液体又はゲル状のもので、その性状が供給時からほとんど時間変化しないものでもよいし、供給後に硬化するものでもよい。供給後に硬化するものの場合は、硬化後においても弾性に富むものが好ましい。   The water-stopping agent used here has fluidity at least at the time of supply, and it is difficult to move from the filling position when the electric wire is used, and has a flexibility that can be deformed following the bending of the electric wire. preferable. For example, it may be a liquid or gel that has a relatively high viscosity, and its properties may hardly change over time from the time of supply, or may be cured after supply. In the case of curing after supply, those that are rich in elasticity even after curing are preferable.

具体的には、初期粘度が0.006〜6Pa・s程度のものであれば、後述する減圧工程において10kPa〜100kPa程度の圧力で5〜120秒ほど減圧することにより、被覆材14内に浸透可能であることが確認されており、その材質としては、シリコーン樹脂、シリコーンゴム、グリース、その他粘性および弾性を有する接着剤が好適である。シリコーン樹脂については、2液タイプ(2液混合によって硬化が開始するタイプ)、1液タイプ(1液のみで自然硬化するタイプ)にかかわらず使用が可能である。   Specifically, if the initial viscosity is about 0.006 to 6 Pa · s, it can be penetrated into the coating material 14 by reducing the pressure for about 5 to 120 seconds at a pressure of about 10 kPa to 100 kPa in the pressure reducing process described later. As the material, silicone resin, silicone rubber, grease, and other adhesives having viscosity and elasticity are suitable. The silicone resin can be used regardless of whether it is a two-component type (a type in which curing starts by mixing two components) or a one-component type (a type that spontaneously cures with only one component).

このような止水剤の電線端末への供給は、図2(a)に網掛けで示した領域A、すなわちアース接続端子20の導体バレル22とインシュレーションバレル24との間に設定された滴下領域Aに、図略のディスペンサ(止水剤供給装置)を用いて止水剤を滴下して当該滴下領域Aに止水剤を溜めることによって行う。これにより、止水剤が導体12と被覆材14との隙間を全周にわたって覆う状態にして、後述する減圧工程において止水剤が被覆材14の内側にむらなく浸透するようにする。   Supply of such a water-stopping agent to the electric wire terminal is a dripping set between a region A indicated by shading in FIG. 2A, that is, between the conductor barrel 22 and the insulation barrel 24 of the ground connection terminal 20. This is performed by dropping a water-stopping agent into the region A using a dispenser (water-stopping agent supply device) (not shown) and storing the water-stopping agent in the dropping region A. Thereby, the water-stopping agent covers the gap between the conductor 12 and the covering material 14 over the entire circumference so that the water-stopping agent permeates the inside of the covering material 14 evenly in the decompression step described later.

なお、当該止水剤の滴下は1回で行ってもよいが、後述する減圧工程を開始すると、止水剤が被覆材14の内側に浸透していき、前記滴下領域Aに溜まっている止水剤の量が徐々に減少するため、本実施形態では、これを補給するように追って止水剤を滴下する。すなわち、当該止水剤の滴下を複数回にわけて行うようにする。これにより、滴下領域Aに溜まっている止水剤の量をほぼ均一に保ちながら、充分な量の止水剤を導体12と被覆材14との隙間にむらなく確実に充填することができる。   The water-stopping agent may be dropped once, but when a pressure reducing step described later is started, the water-stopping agent penetrates into the inside of the covering material 14 and stops in the dripping region A. Since the amount of the liquid medicine is gradually reduced, in this embodiment, the water-stopping agent is dropped to replenish the liquid medicine. That is, the waterstop agent is dropped in a plurality of times. Thereby, a sufficient amount of the water-stopping agent can be reliably filled in the gap between the conductor 12 and the covering material 14 while keeping the amount of the water-stopping agent remaining in the dropping region A substantially uniform.

このとき、前記治具50は、前記滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤が周囲に溢れ出すのを防止する役割を果たす。以下、この治具50について図2(a)〜(c)を参照しながら詳細に説明する。   At this time, the jig 50 plays a role of preventing the water-stopping agent accumulated in the dropping region A from overflowing to the surroundings. Hereinafter, the jig 50 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

前記治具50は、前記滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤がアース接続端子20の側方(電線軸方向に直交する方向)に溢れ出すのを防止するためにアース接続端子20の下面および両側面を包み込むように敷設される弾性部材52と、この弾性部材52の両端部を支持する4つの支持部材56と、アース用電線10の一方の端末を支持する2つの電線支持台62と、アース接続端子20に設けられた前記挿通孔21aに挿通されることによって前記一方の端末のセット位置を位置決めする位置決めピン66とが、治具台60の上にそれぞれ配設されることによって構成されている。なお、治具50は、アース用電線10の一方の端末を前記電線支持台62の上に押し付けて固定するための押圧部材(図示省略)も備えている。   The jig 50 is provided on the lower surface and both sides of the ground connection terminal 20 in order to prevent the water-stopping agent collected in the dripping region A from overflowing to the side of the ground connection terminal 20 (direction perpendicular to the wire axis direction). An elastic member 52 laid so as to wrap the surface, four support members 56 for supporting both ends of the elastic member 52, two wire support bases 62 for supporting one end of the ground wire 10, and grounding Positioning pins 66 for positioning the set position of the one terminal by being inserted through the insertion hole 21 a provided in the connection terminal 20 are respectively disposed on the jig base 60. Yes. The jig 50 also includes a pressing member (not shown) for pressing and fixing one end of the grounding wire 10 onto the wire support base 62.

前記弾性部材52は、図2(c)に示すように、シート状の弾性体から構成されており、その中央部を残した左右両外側の部分が、前記支持部材56の上端部に設けられたスリット56aに挿入されることにより左右方向にスライド可能な状態で支持されている。一方、弾性部材52の中央部は、支持部材56によって支持されていないため、左右2つの支持部材56の間において治具台60の上面まで沈み込み可能となっている。   As shown in FIG. 2C, the elastic member 52 is composed of a sheet-like elastic body, and left and right outer portions that leave the central portion are provided at the upper end portion of the support member 56. By being inserted into the slit 56a, it is supported so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. On the other hand, since the central portion of the elastic member 52 is not supported by the support member 56, it can sink to the upper surface of the jig base 60 between the two left and right support members 56.

このような弾性部材52は、アース用電線10の一方の端末が前記治具50にセットされたときに(当該一方の端末が位置決めピン66によって位置決めされかつ電線支持台62の上に固定されたときに)、アース接続端子20が弾性部材52の上面に押し付けられるのに応じて両端部がスライド変位するとともに中央部が沈み込み、アース接続端子20の下面および両側面を包み込む形状に変形する。そしてこのとき、アース接続端子20の左右両側に、前記滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤が側方に溢れ出すのを防止するための溢出防止壁52aが形成される。すなわち、弾性部材52は、アース用電線10の治具50へのセット時にアース接続端子20によって中央部が押圧され、それに応じて形成された溢出防止壁52aをアース接続端子20の両側面に密着させることにより、前記滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤が側方に溢れ出すのを防止するように構成されている。なお、弾性部材52を構成するシート状の弾性体の厚みは、導体バレル22(またはインシュレーションバレル24)の外側面と前記支持部材56の内側面との間に形成される隙間よりも若干大きい値に設定されることが望ましい。これにより、溢出防止壁52aがアース接続端子20の側面に圧接されてより確実に密着し、止水剤が側方に溢れ出すことが確実に防止されるという利点がある。   Such an elastic member 52 is formed when one end of the grounding wire 10 is set on the jig 50 (the one end is positioned by the positioning pin 66 and fixed on the wire support base 62). When the ground connection terminal 20 is pressed against the upper surface of the elastic member 52, both end portions are slid and the center portion sinks, and the lower surface and both side surfaces of the ground connection terminal 20 are deformed. At this time, overflow prevention walls 52a are formed on both the left and right sides of the ground connection terminal 20 to prevent the water-stopping agent accumulated in the dripping region A from overflowing laterally. That is, the elastic member 52 is pressed at the center by the ground connection terminal 20 when the ground wire 10 is set on the jig 50, and the overflow prevention walls 52 a formed accordingly are adhered to both side surfaces of the ground connection terminal 20. By doing so, the water-stopping agent accumulated in the dropping area A is prevented from overflowing to the side. The thickness of the sheet-like elastic body constituting the elastic member 52 is slightly larger than the gap formed between the outer surface of the conductor barrel 22 (or the insulation barrel 24) and the inner surface of the support member 56. It is desirable to set it to a value. Accordingly, there is an advantage that the overflow prevention wall 52a is brought into pressure contact with the side surface of the ground connection terminal 20 and is more reliably adhered, and the water stop agent is reliably prevented from overflowing to the side.

一方、止水剤の前後方向(電線軸方向)への溢出については、アース接続端子20の導体バレル22とインシュレーションバレル24とによってある程度抑制される。すなわち、これら導体バレル22とインシュレーションバレル24との間に止水剤の滴下領域Aが設定されていることから、当該両バレル22,24による段差により、止水剤の前後方向への溢出がある程度抑制される。このように、止水剤が前後方向へ溢れ出すのを抑制する当該両バレル22,24と、止水剤が側方へ溢れ出すのを防止する前記弾性部材52との存在により、止水剤が滴下領域Aの周囲へ溢れ出すことが効果的に防止されるようになっている。   On the other hand, the overflow of the water-stopping agent in the front-rear direction (wire axis direction) is suppressed to some extent by the conductor barrel 22 and the insulation barrel 24 of the ground connection terminal 20. That is, since the dripping region A of the water-stopping agent is set between the conductor barrel 22 and the insulation barrel 24, the water-stopping agent overflows in the front-rear direction due to the step between the barrels 22 and 24. It is suppressed to some extent. Thus, due to the presence of the barrels 22 and 24 that suppress the overflow of the waterproofing agent in the front-rear direction and the elastic member 52 that prevents the waterproofing agent from overflowing to the side, the waterproofing agent is provided. Is effectively prevented from overflowing around the dripping region A.

ここで、前記のように導体バレル22とインシュレーションバレル24との間の滴下領域Aに止水剤を溜めることによって止水剤の前後方向への溢出を抑制した場合でも、導体12に直接圧着される導体バレル22の高さが、導体12を被覆する被覆材14に圧着されるインシュレーションバレル24の高さよりも低いことから、前記滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤が、高さの低い方の導体バレル22を越えて前方に溢れ出すおそれがある。そこで、前記治具50は、前記滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤が前記導体バレル22を越えて前方に溢れ出すのを防止するために導体バレル22上に載置される載置部材54をさらに有している。これにより、前記滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤が溢れ出すことがより確実に防止されるようになっている。   Here, even when the water stop agent is prevented from overflowing in the front-rear direction by storing the water stop agent in the dripping region A between the conductor barrel 22 and the insulation barrel 24 as described above, it is directly bonded to the conductor 12. Since the height of the conductive barrel 22 is lower than the height of the insulation barrel 24 that is crimped to the covering material 14 that covers the conductor 12, the water-stopping agent accumulated in the dripping region A has a low height. There is a risk of overflowing forward beyond the conductor barrel 22. Therefore, the jig 50 is provided with a mounting member 54 mounted on the conductor barrel 22 in order to prevent the water-stopping agent accumulated in the dropping region A from overflowing forward beyond the conductor barrel 22. In addition. Thereby, it is prevented more reliably that the water-stopping agent collected in the dripping area A overflows.

この載置部材54は、導体バレル22の上面に載置されてその上に前方溢出防止壁54a(図2(b)参照)を形成し、この前方溢出防止壁54aにより、前記滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤が導体バレル22を越えて前方に溢れ出すのを防止するように構成されている。なお、この載置部材54の下面は、図2(c)に示すように、導体バレル22の上面に沿った形状に形成されており、導体バレル22の上面に密接し得るようになっている。   The placement member 54 is placed on the upper surface of the conductor barrel 22 to form a front overflow prevention wall 54a (see FIG. 2B) thereon, and the front overflow prevention wall 54a causes the dropping region A to be formed. It is configured to prevent the accumulated water-stopping agent from overflowing forward beyond the conductor barrel 22. As shown in FIG. 2C, the lower surface of the mounting member 54 is formed in a shape along the upper surface of the conductor barrel 22, and can be in close contact with the upper surface of the conductor barrel 22. .

3)減圧工程
この工程は、図3に示す減圧装置46を用いて、アース用電線10の他方の端末(アース接続端子20が接続された端末と反対側の端末)から被覆材14の内側のエアを吸引する工程である。これにより、前記止水剤供給工程において供給された止水剤を、強制的に被覆材14の内側に浸透させる。
3) Depressurization step This step is performed using the decompression device 46 shown in FIG. 3 from the other end of the ground wire 10 (the end opposite to the end to which the ground connection terminal 20 is connected) to the inside of the covering material 14. This is a step of sucking air. Thereby, the water-stopping agent supplied in the water-stopping agent supply step is forcibly permeated into the inside of the covering material 14.

この減圧工程は、前記止水剤供給工程による1回目の滴下によって止水剤を前記滴下領域Aに溜め、この止水剤が当該端末における導体12と被覆材14との隙間を全周にわたって覆う状態にしてから開始するようにし、その後2回目以降の止水剤の滴下が終了するまで続行するようにする。このようにすれば、止水剤にエアが巻き込まれるのを有効に抑止しながら安定した状態で止水剤を導体12と被覆材14との隙間に引き込むことができる。なお、前記止水剤の供給を1回の滴下で行うような場合には、当該減圧工程を、止水剤供給工程が終了してから開始するようにしてもよい。   In this decompression step, the water-stopping agent is accumulated in the dropping region A by the first dropping by the water-stopping agent supply step, and the water-stopping agent covers the gap between the conductor 12 and the covering material 14 in the terminal. It is made to start after making it into a state, and it is made to continue until dripping of the water stop agent after the 2nd time is complete | finished after that. In this way, the water-stopping agent can be drawn into the gap between the conductor 12 and the covering material 14 in a stable state while effectively preventing air from being caught in the water-stopping agent. In addition, when supplying the said water stop agent by one dripping, you may make it start the said pressure reduction process after the water stop agent supply process is complete | finished.

図3に示す減圧装置46は、アース用電線10の他方の端末が接続される電線接続装置30と、この電線接続装置30に接続されたアース用電線10の他方の端末からエアを吸引する吸引ポンプ44と、この吸引ポンプ44の吸引圧力を制御する圧力制御盤42とから構成されている。   The decompression device 46 shown in FIG. 3 is a suction device that sucks air from the wire connection device 30 to which the other terminal of the ground wire 10 is connected and the other terminal of the ground wire 10 connected to the wire connection device 30. The pump 44 and a pressure control panel 42 for controlling the suction pressure of the suction pump 44 are configured.

このうち電線接続装置30は、内部が密閉されたハウジング32を備え、このハウジング32内の密閉空間が適当な配管40および前記圧力制御盤42を介して前記吸引ポンプ44の吸い込み口に接続されている。   Among these, the electric wire connection device 30 includes a housing 32 whose inside is sealed, and a sealed space in the housing 32 is connected to a suction port of the suction pump 44 via an appropriate pipe 40 and the pressure control panel 42. Yes.

また、当該電線接続装置30は、複数のアース用電線10の接続が可能なように構成されている。これは、複数本のアース用電線10に対して同時に減圧工程を行い得るようにするためである。すなわち、複数本のアース用電線10の他方の端末を、図3に示すように共通の電線接続装置30に接続し、この電線接続装置30を圧力制御盤42を介して吸引ポンプ44の吸込み口に接続することにより、前記各アース用電線10に対し減圧工程を同時に行うようにする。このようにすれば、止水処理のための一連の工程を、複数本のアース用電線10に対して同時に行うことができ、止水処理の効率化を図ることができる。なお、このようなことが特に必要なければ、1本のアース用電線10ごとに個別に減圧工程を行ってもよい。   Moreover, the said electric wire connection apparatus 30 is comprised so that the connection of the some electric wire 10 for earthing is possible. This is because the pressure reducing process can be simultaneously performed on the plurality of grounding wires 10. That is, the other end of the plurality of grounding wires 10 is connected to a common wire connecting device 30 as shown in FIG. 3, and the wire connecting device 30 is connected to the suction port of the suction pump 44 via the pressure control panel 42. By connecting to each of the grounding wires 10, a pressure reducing step is simultaneously performed. If it does in this way, a series of processes for water stop processing can be performed simultaneously with respect to a plurality of electric wires 10 for grounding, and efficiency improvement of water stop processing can be aimed at. If this is not particularly necessary, the decompression step may be performed individually for each grounding wire 10.

前記ハウジング32の前壁には、ゴム栓保持板34が設けられている。このゴム栓保持板34には、図4に示すような複数個のゴム栓36が縦横に並んだ状態で保持されている。そして、各ゴム栓36に各アース用電線10の端末が接続されるようになっている。   A rubber stopper holding plate 34 is provided on the front wall of the housing 32. The rubber plug holding plate 34 holds a plurality of rubber plugs 36 as shown in FIG. Each rubber plug 36 is connected to the terminal of each grounding wire 10.

具体的に、前記ゴム栓保持板34には、これを板厚方向に貫通する複数のゴム栓取付孔34aが設けられ、各ゴム栓取付孔34a内に前記ゴム栓36がそれぞれ嵌着されている。   Specifically, the rubber plug holding plate 34 is provided with a plurality of rubber plug mounting holes 34a penetrating in the thickness direction, and the rubber plugs 36 are respectively fitted in the rubber plug mounting holes 34a. Yes.

各ゴム栓36は、その中心軸上に貫通孔36aをもつ筒状に形成され、当該貫通孔36aの内周面にはシール用突条36bが形成されている。このシール用突条36bは、前記貫通孔36a内に挿入される前記アース用電線10の被覆材14の表面と圧接することにより、ハウジング32内の密閉状態を保つ役割を果たす。同様に、ゴム栓36の外周面にもシール用突条36cが形成され、このシール用突条36cが前記ゴム栓取付孔34aの内周面と圧接することによりシールがなされている。   Each rubber plug 36 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a through hole 36a on its central axis, and a sealing protrusion 36b is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 36a. The sealing protrusion 36b plays a role of maintaining a sealed state in the housing 32 by being pressed against the surface of the covering material 14 of the grounding wire 10 inserted into the through hole 36a. Similarly, a sealing protrusion 36c is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rubber plug 36, and the sealing protrusion 36c is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the rubber plug mounting hole 34a to provide a seal.

各ゴム栓取付孔34aの外側端部には、前記ゴム栓36の外周部を外側から覆うゴム栓カバー38が設けられ、このゴム栓カバー38は、前記ゴム栓36の貫通孔36a内にアース用電線10の端末を誘い込むためのテーパー状貫通孔38aを中心に有している。   A rubber plug cover 38 that covers the outer peripheral portion of the rubber plug 36 from the outside is provided at the outer end of each rubber plug mounting hole 34 a. The rubber plug cover 38 is grounded in the through hole 36 a of the rubber plug 36. A taper-shaped through hole 38a for guiding the end of the electric wire 10 is provided at the center.

この電線接続装置30において、各ゴム栓カバー38の貫通孔38aを通じてその奥のゴム栓36の貫通穴36aに各アース用電線10の他方の端末(アース接続端子20が接続された端末と反対側の端末)を圧入することにより、これらのアース用電線10をハウジング32内の共通の密閉空間に接続することができる。そして、この密閉空間内を前記圧力制御盤42の制御下で前記吸引ポンプ44の作動により一定の負圧になるまで減圧することにより、各アース用電線10における被覆材14の内側空間もそれぞれ同時に減圧することができる。   In this electric wire connecting device 30, the other end of each grounding wire 10 (the side opposite to the terminal to which the ground connection terminal 20 is connected) is inserted into the through hole 36 a of the rubber plug 36 at the back through the through hole 38 a of each rubber plug cover 38. These terminals can be connected to a common sealed space in the housing 32 by press-fitting the terminal. Then, the inside space of the covering material 14 in each grounding wire 10 is also simultaneously reduced by reducing the pressure in the sealed space under the control of the pressure control panel 42 until the suction pump 44 operates to a certain negative pressure. The pressure can be reduced.

以上説明したように、本実施形態の止水処理方法によれば、アース用電線10の一方の端末に接続されたアース接続端子20の導体バレル22とインシュレーションバレル24との間(滴下領域A)に止水剤を滴下する前に、前記一方の端末を治具50にセットすることによってその治具50に備わる弾性部材52をアース接続端子20の下面および両側面を包み込む形状に変形させ、それに応じて形成される溢出防止壁52aをアース接続端子20の両側面に密着させておくことにより、当該止水剤が側方に溢れ出すのを確実に防止しながら止水剤を溜めることができるため、常に安定した状態で止水剤の供給を行うことができる。そして、このように安定的に供給される止水剤を、アース用電線10の他方の端末からのエアの吸引によって被覆材14の内側に引き込むことにより、良好な止水構造を確実に構築することができる。   As described above, according to the water stop processing method of the present embodiment, the gap between the conductor barrel 22 and the insulation barrel 24 of the ground connection terminal 20 connected to one end of the ground wire 10 (dropping region A). ), The elastic member 52 provided in the jig 50 is deformed to wrap around the lower surface and both side surfaces of the ground connection terminal 20 by setting the one end on the jig 50. By attaching the overflow prevention walls 52a formed accordingly to both side surfaces of the ground connection terminal 20, the water stop agent can be stored while reliably preventing the water stop agent from overflowing to the side. Therefore, the water-stopper can be supplied in a stable state at all times. And the water stop agent supplied stably in this way is drawn in to the inner side of the covering material 14 by the suction of the air from the other end of the ground wire 10, so that a good water stop structure is reliably constructed. be able to.

なお、本実施形態では、滴下領域Aに溜まった止水剤の側方への溢出を防止する前記弾性部材52以外に、導体バレル22上に載置されることにより止水剤の前方への溢出を防止する載置部材54をも用いるようにしたが、この載置部材54は、導体バレル22のみによって止水剤の前方への溢出を充分に抑制することができるような場合には省略してもよい。逆に、載置部材54と同様の部材をインシュレーションバレル24側にも配設することにより、止水剤に対する溢出防止効果をより高めるようにしてもよい。   In this embodiment, in addition to the elastic member 52 that prevents the water-stopping agent accumulated in the dripping region A from overflowing to the side, the water-stopping agent is placed on the conductor barrel 22 to move forward. Although the mounting member 54 that prevents overflow is also used, this mounting member 54 is omitted when the overflow of the water-stopping agent can be sufficiently suppressed only by the conductor barrel 22. May be. Conversely, by disposing a member similar to the mounting member 54 also on the insulation barrel 24 side, the overflow prevention effect on the water stop agent may be further enhanced.

また、本実施形態では、載置部材54の下面を導体バレル22の上面に沿った形状に形成することにより、載置部材54の下面と導体バレル22の上面とを密接させるようにしたが、導体バレル22と載置部材54との間に多少の隙間があっても、止水剤が有する粘性によって止水剤の溢出がある程度抑制されるため、止水剤の溢出を厳密に防止する必要がなければ、載置部材54の下面を平坦面に形成してもよい。なお、載置部材54の下面を平坦面に形成した場合であっても、載置部材54を弾性体によって構成すれば、導体バレル22に押し当てた状態でこの載置部材54の下面を導体バレル22の上面に沿って変形させることが可能である。   In the present embodiment, the lower surface of the mounting member 54 is formed in a shape along the upper surface of the conductor barrel 22 so that the lower surface of the mounting member 54 and the upper surface of the conductor barrel 22 are brought into close contact with each other. Even if there is a slight gap between the conductor barrel 22 and the mounting member 54, the overflow of the waterproofing agent is suppressed to some extent due to the viscosity of the waterproofing agent, so it is necessary to strictly prevent the overflow of the waterproofing agent. If not, the lower surface of the mounting member 54 may be formed as a flat surface. Even when the lower surface of the mounting member 54 is formed as a flat surface, if the mounting member 54 is formed of an elastic body, the lower surface of the mounting member 54 is in a state of being pressed against the conductor barrel 22. It is possible to deform along the upper surface of the barrel 22.

また、本実施形態では、弾性部材52としてシート状の弾性体を用い、当該シート状の弾性体の中央部を残してその左右両外側の部分のみを支持部材56によって下から支持しておき、前記中央部にアース接続端子20を押し付けてこの中央部を落とし込むことにより前記溢出防止壁52aを形成するようにしたが、例えば、スポンジ等からなる厚肉でブロック状の弾性体を治具台60の上に載置しておき、このブロック状の弾性体の上面に前記アース接続端子20を押し付けて当該弾性体の上面を凹ませることにより前記溢出防止壁52aを形成することも可能である。ただし本実施形態の方が、厚みの薄い弾性体を用いながらも、確実に溢出防止壁52aを形成して止水剤の側方への溢出を効果的に防止することができる点で有利である。   In this embodiment, a sheet-like elastic body is used as the elastic member 52, and only the left and right outer portions are supported from below by the support member 56, leaving the central portion of the sheet-like elastic body. The overflow prevention wall 52a is formed by pressing the ground connection terminal 20 to the central portion and dropping the central portion. For example, a thick, block-like elastic body made of sponge or the like is used as the jig base 60. It is also possible to form the overflow prevention wall 52a by pressing the ground connection terminal 20 on the upper surface of the block-like elastic body and denting the upper surface of the elastic body. However, this embodiment is advantageous in that it can reliably prevent the overflow of the water-stopping agent to the side by reliably forming the overflow prevention wall 52a while using a thin elastic body. is there.

また、本実施形態では、アース接続端子20が接続される側の端末に止水処理を行ったが、これと反対側の端末に(例えば車両のボディに接続される側の端末)に止水処理を行ってもよい。この場合も、当該端末よりも手前側の位置に良好な止水構造を構築することが可能である。ただし、この場合には、アース接続部からこれと反対側の端末の前記止水構造に至るまでの領域で被覆材14内に水分が侵入するおそれがあるのに対し、前記のようにアース接続端子20が固定される側(すなわちアース接続部から侵入する水分の入口側)の端末に止水剤を供給すれば、被覆材14の内側への水分の侵入をほぼ確実に阻止できる利点が得られる。   Moreover, in this embodiment, although the water stop process was performed on the terminal on the side to which the ground connection terminal 20 is connected, the water stop process is performed on the terminal on the opposite side (for example, the terminal on the side connected to the vehicle body). Processing may be performed. Also in this case, it is possible to construct a good water stop structure at a position on the near side of the terminal. However, in this case, there is a possibility that moisture may enter the coating material 14 in the region from the ground connection portion to the water stop structure of the terminal on the opposite side, whereas the ground connection is performed as described above. If a water-stopping agent is supplied to the terminal on the side to which the terminal 20 is fixed (that is, the inlet side of moisture entering from the ground connection portion), the advantage that moisture can be prevented from entering into the inside of the covering material 14 can be almost certainly prevented. It is done.

また、本実施形態では、アース接続端子20の導体バレル22とインシュレーションバレル24との間(滴下領域A)に止水剤を滴下することにより、止水剤が前後方向(電線軸方向)に溢れ出すのを当該両バレル22,24によって抑制しながら前記滴下領域Aに止水剤を溜めるようにしたが、この止水剤の滴下位置は端子構造に応じて適宜設定すべきものであることは言うまでもない。   Moreover, in this embodiment, a water-stopping agent is dropped in the front-back direction (electric wire axial direction) by dripping a water-stopping agent between the conductor barrel 22 and the insulation barrel 24 of the earth connection terminal 20 (dropping area A). While the overflow was suppressed by the barrels 22 and 24, the water-stopping agent was stored in the dripping region A. The dripping position of the water-stopping agent should be set appropriately according to the terminal structure. Needless to say.
