JP 2010-62097 A

  However, when an oxide film is formed on the surface of the core wire, there is a concern that the electrical resistance between the core wire and the terminal increases. In order to reduce the electrical resistance, it is conceivable to break the oxide film on the surface of the core wire by winding the wire barrel with a high pressure around the core wire. As a result, the oxide film formed on the surface of the core wire was torn and the new surface of the core wire was exposed, and the new surface and the terminal were in contact with each other.

  However, according to the above method, since the cross-sectional area of the core wire is greatly reduced, the mechanical strength, particularly the tensile strength against an impact load (more specifically, the strength with which the crimp terminal holds the electric wire) is lowered.

  This invention is completed based on the above situations, Comprising: It aims at providing the electric wire with a terminal which can make favorable electrical performance and the retention strength of an electric wire (core wire) compatible.

The present invention relates to a terminal-attached electric wire, an electric wire having a core wire, a crimping member crimped so as to be wound from the outside around the end portion of the core wire exposed from the end portion of the electric wire, the core wire and the crimping member And a terminal provided with a wire barrel crimped from the outside, and a portion of the core wire that is crimped to the wire barrel in a state where the crimping member is wound is a high compression portion, The portion crimped only to the wire barrel is a low-compression portion that is compressed lower than the high-compression portion , and a plurality of marks are spaced along the axial direction of the electric wire on the outer surface of the crimping member. In a state where the wire barrel is crimped to the outside of the crimping member, at least one of the plurality of marks is arranged on a portion covered by the wire barrel. , Has become invisible, the at least one other of the plurality of landmarks, is arranged at a position exposed from the wire barrel, and can confirm visually.

  According to this invention, the holding force between an electric wire and a terminal improves because a wire barrel crimps | bonds a core wire in a low compression part.

On the other hand, in the high compression part, the core wire is highly compressed by the wire barrel and the crimping member. Thereby, a core wire and a crimping | compression-bonding member are slidably contacted, and the oxide film formed on the surface of the core wire is destroyed and scraped off. Then, the surface of the metal constituting the core wire is exposed. By contacting the exposed metal surface and the wire barrel, the electrical resistance value between the core wire and the terminal can be reduced.
Moreover, according to said aspect, since the position of the crimping | compression-bonding member with respect to a wire barrel can be confirmed visually, a reliable high crimping state is realizable.

  As embodiments of the present invention, the following embodiments are preferable.

  It is preferable that the said crimping | compression-bonding member has a protrusion part which protrudes from the edge of the said wire barrel.

  According to said aspect, the core wire which protrudes from the edge of a wire barrel is the state crimped | bonded by the protrusion part of the crimping | compression-bonding member. Thereby, it can suppress that a core wire bulges from the edge of a wire barrel with the pressure added to the wire barrel. As a result, it can suppress that a core wire contacts and short-circuits members other than a terminal.

  It is preferable that the crimping member includes a core wire contact portion that contacts an end portion of the core wire.

  According to said aspect, when assembling a crimping | compression-bonding member with respect to a core wire, positioning of a core wire and a crimping | compression-bonding member can be easily performed by making a core wire contact part contact | abut to the edge of a core wire.

  It is preferable that the crimp member includes a wire barrel abutting portion that abuts on a side edge of the wire barrel.

  According to said aspect, the length dimension which a crimping | compression-bonding member and a wire barrel overlap can be set correctly by setting the length dimension of a wire barrel contact part suitably. That is, first, the relative position of the crimping member with respect to the side edge of the wire barrel is determined by the tip of the wire barrel contact portion coming into contact with the side edge of the wire barrel. As a result, the length dimension in which the crimping member overlaps the wire barrel is determined. Thereby, the length dimension of the high compression part by which the core wire is crimped | bonded by the wire barrel and the crimping | compression-bonding member can be defined reliably.

  The core wire includes a plurality of metal strands, and the compression ratio is defined as {(cross-sectional area of the conductor after compression) / (cross-sectional area of the conductor before compression)} × 100 (%). The compression rate of the portion is set to be larger than 50%, the compression rate of the high compression portion is preferably set to be smaller than 50%, more preferably set to 35% or less, 25 % Is further preferably set, and particularly preferably set to 20% or less.

  By making the compression rate smaller than 50%, the oxide film on the core wire can be broken. Thereby, the electrical resistance value of a core wire and a terminal can be made small. If the compression rate is 35% or less, the surfaces of the strands constituting the core wire are microscopically adhered to each other, so that the electrical resistance value can be reduced. Furthermore, when the compression rate is 25% or less, the wires are macroscopically adhered to each other, so that the electrical resistance value can be further reduced. Furthermore, when the compression ratio is 20% or less, the strands can be securely adhered to each other, and thus the electrical resistance value can be reliably reduced.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, in an electric wire with a terminal, favorable electrical performance and the retention strength of an electric wire (core wire) can be made compatible.

Reference Example 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the electric wire with terminal 10 of the present reference example includes an electric wire 12 including a core wire 11 and a terminal 13 crimped to the core wire 11 exposed from the end of the electric wire 12. The terminal 13 according to this reference example is a so-called LA terminal.

(Wire 12)
The electric wire 12 includes a core wire 11 formed by twisting a plurality of metal wires 14 and an insulating coating 15 made of a synthetic resin that covers the outer periphery of the core wire 11. The core wire 11 can use arbitrary metals as needed, such as aluminum, an aluminum alloy, copper, a copper alloy. In this reference example , aluminum or an aluminum alloy is used.

In this reference example , copper or a copper alloy is used. Further, the metal plate material may be plated with an arbitrary metal such as tin or nickel. In this reference example , tin plating is applied.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal 13 is formed by being connected to the wire barrel 16, which is crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the core wire 11 exposed on the end side of the electric wire 12, and insulated. An insulation barrel 17 that is crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the coating 15, and a connection portion 18 that extends from the wire barrel 16 to the opposite side of the insulation barrel 17 and is connected to a mating member (not shown). Prepare.

  The connecting portion 18 has a plate shape, and has an insertion hole 19 through which a bolt (not shown) is inserted.

  In addition, a plurality of recesses 20 extending in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the electric wire 12 are formed on the surface of the wire barrel 16 on the side where the core wire 11 is placed, arranged side by side in the axial direction of the electric wire 12. Has been.

(Crimp member 21)
In this reference example , the crimping member 21 is combined with such a conventional terminal 13. As shown in FIG. 3, the crimping member 21 is made of an elongated metal plate. The crimping member 21 is formed by pressing a metal plate material into a predetermined shape. The metal constituting the crimping member 21 may be the same as the metal constituting the terminal 13 or may be different. In this reference example , the crimping member 21 is made of copper or a copper alloy, and is made of the same metal as the terminal 13.

  The thickness dimension of the crimping member 21 may be the same as the thickness dimension of the terminal 13 or may be different. If they are different, the thickness dimension of the crimping member 21 may be thicker than that of the terminal 13 or may be thinner.

(Crimp structure)
As shown in FIG. 4, the crimping member 21 is crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the core wire 11. In this reference example , the length dimension of the crimping member 21 is set to a length that can surround the outer periphery of the core wire 11.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the electric wire 12 is placed on the terminal 13 from the direction indicated by the arrow A. Specifically, the insulation coating 15 of the electric wire 12 is placed on the insulation barrel 17, and the core wire 11 and the crimping member 21 crimped to the core wire 11 are placed on the wire barrel 16. A part of the crimping member 21 is arranged so as to protrude forward from the side edge of the wire barrel 16 in the axial direction of the electric wire 12.

  FIG. 1 shows a state where the insulation barrel 17 and the wire barrel 16 are crimped to the electric wire 12. As described above, the insulation barrel 17 is pressure-bonded so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the insulating coating 15.

  The wire barrel 16 is crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the core wire 11 and the outer periphery of the crimping member 21 crimped to the core wire 11. A portion of the crimping member 21 that protrudes from the edge of the wire barrel 16 is a protruding portion 22. Furthermore, the core wire 11 slightly protrudes from the tip of the protrusion 22.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the area | region crimped | bonded only by the wire barrel 16 among the core wires 11 is made into the low compression part 23 comparatively low-compressed. Here, the compression rate is defined as {(cross-sectional area of the conductor after compression) / (cross-sectional area of the conductor before compression)} × 100 (%). Low compression means that the compression rate shows a large value, and high compression means that the compression rate shows a small value.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the core wire 11, the region crimped by the wire barrel 16 and the crimping member 21 is higher than the low compression portion 23 by a high compression by the thickness dimension of the crimping portion. The compression unit 24 is used.

(Operation and effect of this reference example )
Then, the effect | action and effect of this reference example are demonstrated. According to this reference example , the holding force between the electric wire 12 and the terminal 13 is improved by the wire barrel 16 crimping the core wire 11 in the low compression portion 23.

  The compression rate in the low compression portion 23 is preferably larger than 50%, more preferably 60 to 90%, and particularly preferably 70 to 80%.

  On the other hand, in the high compression part 24, the core wire 11 is highly compressed by the wire barrel 16 and the crimping member 21. Thereby, the core wire 11 and the crimping | compression-bonding member 21 are slidably contacted, and the oxide film formed on the surface of the core wire 11 is destroyed and scraped off. Then, the surface of the metal constituting the core wire 11 is exposed. When the exposed metal surface and the wire barrel 16 are in contact with each other, the electrical resistance value between the core wire 11 and the terminal 13 can be reduced.

  Moreover, in the area | region between the high compression part 24 and the low compression part 23, the strand 14 which comprises the core wire 11 mutually rubs strongly. As a result, the oxide film formed on the surface of the strand 14 is destroyed, and the metal surface constituting the strand 14 is exposed. When the metal surfaces come into contact with each other, the electrical resistance value between the strands 14 can be reduced. Thereby, the wire 14 located near the center of the core wire 11 can also contribute to the electrical connection with the terminal 13. As a result, the electrical resistance value between the core wire 11 and the terminal 13 can be further reduced.

As described above, according to this reference example , it is possible to improve the mechanical holding force between the electric wire 12 and the terminal 13 in the low compression portion 23, and further, in the low compression portion 23, While reducing the electrical resistance value between the terminals 13, the electrical resistance value between the strands 14 can also be reduced.

  The compression ratio of the core wire 11 in the high compression portion 24 is preferably set to be less than 50% and 35% in order to destroy the oxide film on the surface of the core wire 11 and ensure good electrical performance with a small electrical resistance. More preferably, it is more preferably 25% or less, and particularly preferably 20% or less.

  By making the compression rate smaller than 50%, the oxide film of the core wire 11 can be broken. Thereby, the electrical resistance value of the core wire 11 and the terminal 13 can be made small. If the compression rate is 35% or less, the surfaces of the strands 14 constituting the core wire 11 are microscopically adhered to each other, so that the electrical resistance value can be reduced. Furthermore, when the compression rate is 25% or less, the wires 14 adhere macroscopically, so that the electrical resistance value can be further reduced. Furthermore, when the compression ratio is 20% or less, the strands 14 can be reliably adhered to each other, so that the electrical resistance value can be reliably reduced.

Further, according to this reference example , the core wire 11 protruding from the end edge of the wire barrel 16 is in a state of being crimped by the projecting portion 22 of the crimping member 21. Thereby, it can suppress that the core wire 11 bulges from the edge of the wire barrel 16 by the pressure added to the wire barrel 16. As a result, it can suppress that the core wire 11 contacts and short-circuits members other than the terminal 13. When the core wire 11 is highly compressed in the high compression portion 24, the core wire 11 is easily swelled from the wire barrel 16, which is particularly effective.

In addition, according to this reference example, it is possible to ensure good electrical conductivity and the electric wire 12 (core wire 11) by adding a simple process of crimping the crimping member 21 to the core wire 11 while using the conventional terminal 13 as it is. ) It is possible to achieve both securing of holding power.

(Modification of Reference Example 1)
A concave portion 25 may be formed on the surface of the crimping member 21 that contacts the core wire 11. As shown in FIG. 8, the recess 25 may be formed in a groove shape extending in the length direction of the crimping member 21. Although not shown in detail, the plurality of recesses 25 may be arranged discretely on the surface of the crimping member 21 that contacts the core wire 11.

< Reference Example 2>
Next, Reference Example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 9, the crimp member 31 provided in the terminal-attached electric wire 30 according to the present reference example includes a core wire contact portion 32 that contacts the edge of the core wire 11.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the crimping member 31 having a long and narrow plate shape extends in the axial direction of the electric wire 12 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the electric wire 12 in the vicinity of the center in the length direction. In addition, a core wire contact portion 32 that is bent toward the core wire 11 is formed. The core wire contact portion 32 is configured to contact the edge of the core wire 11 in a state where the crimp member 31 is crimped to the outer periphery of the core wire 11.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, with the core wire contact portion 32 in contact with the edge of the core wire 11, a crimping member 31 is disposed on the outer periphery of the core wire 11, and the crimping member 31 is crimped to the core wire 11. It has become so.

  The electric wire 12 having the crimping member 31 crimped to the core wire 11 is connected to the terminal 13. Specifically, the insulation coating 15 of the electric wire 12 is placed on the insulation barrel 17, and the core wire 11 and the crimping member 31 of the electric wire 12 are placed on the wire barrel 16. Thereafter, the insulation barrel 17 is caulked to the outer periphery of the insulating coating 15, and the wire barrel 16 is caulked to the outer periphery of the core wire 11 and the crimping member 31.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the core wire contact portion 32 is disposed on the terminal 13 in a state of further protruding from the protruding portion 33 protruding from the tip of the wire barrel 16.

Since the configuration other than the above is substantially the same as that of Reference Example 1, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

According to this reference example , the crimping member 31 is provided with the core wire abutting portion 32 that abuts on the end of the core wire 11. Therefore, when the crimping member 31 is assembled to the core wire 11, the core wire abutting portion 32 is provided. By abutting against the edge of the core wire 11, the core wire 11 and the crimping member 31 can be easily positioned. This eliminates the need to peel off the insulation coating 15 when the insulation coating 15 is peeled off.

  Further, since the core wire abutting portion 32 is in contact with the end edge of the core wire 11, it is possible to suppress the strand 14 constituting the core wire 11 from protruding from the end edge of the core wire 11. Thereby, after crimping | bonding the crimping | compression-bonding member 31 to the core wire 11, the operation | work which aligns the front-end | tip of the core wire 11 is omissible.

The core wire abutting portion 43 abuts on the edge of the core wire 11 in a state where the crimp member 41 is crimped to the core wire 11.

  A pair of wire barrel contact portions 42 extending toward the crimping member 41 are formed on the side edges of the core wire 11 crimping portion. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the wire barrel abutting portion 42 is arranged at a position outside the crimping member 41.

  As shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the crimping member 41 is crimped to the outer periphery of the core wire 11 in a state where the core wire contact portion 43 is in contact with the end edge of the core wire 11.

  The electric wire 12 having the crimp member 41 crimped to the core wire 11 is connected to the terminal 13. Specifically, the insulating coating 15 of the electric wire 12 is placed on the insulation barrel 17, and the core wire 11 and the crimping member 41 of the electric wire 12 are placed on the wire barrel 16. Thereafter, the insulation barrel 17 is caulked to the outer periphery of the insulating coating 15, and the wire barrel 16 is caulked to the outer periphery of the core wire 11 and the crimping member 41.

  As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the tip of the wire barrel abutting portion 42 abuts on the side edge of the wire barrel 16.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the length dimension of the wire barrel abutting portion 42 extending from the core wire abutting portion 43 toward the crimping member 41 side has a length dimension in which the crimping member 41 and the wire barrel 16 overlap. It is set up. That is, first, when the tip of the wire barrel contact portion 42 contacts the side edge of the wire barrel 16, the relative position of the crimping member 41 with respect to the side edge of the wire barrel 16 is determined. As a result, the length dimension in which the crimping member 41 overlaps the wire barrel 16 is determined. Thereby, the length dimension of the high compression part 24 by which the core wire 11 is crimped | bonded by the wire barrel 16 and the crimping | compression-bonding member 41 can be determined reliably.

The crimp member 41 includes a protruding portion 44 that protrudes from the end edge of the wire barrel 16. Since the configuration other than the above is substantially the same as that of Reference Example 1, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

According to this reference example , when the wire barrel contact portion 42 contacts the side edge of the wire barrel 16, the relative position between the wire barrel 16 and the crimping member 41 can be determined. Thereby, the length dimension of the high compression part 24 can be defined reliably.
