Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable reliable and easy packaging of a wiring in a control box by fitting a wire fixing fitting removably to the control box after wires are fixed to the wire fixing fitting beforehand outside the control box. CONSTITUTION:A wire fixing fitting 1 is constructed of a support frame 2 and wire fixing members 3. Besides, an external connector 5 and an internal connector 6 are provided at the opposite ends of a wire bundle 4. The wire bundle 4 is fixed by binding to the wire fixing member 3 of the wire fixing fitting 1 beforehand. Next, a cover 9 on the lateral side of a control box 8 is opened and an electric article 10 is stored therein, while the wire fixing fitting 1 is put in the control box and holes 7 for fixing of the support frame 2 are fixed by screwing or riveting to screw seats 12 provided on a fitting frame 11 inside the control box 8. Then, the external connector 5 is fitted to an external connection part 13 and the internal connector 6 to the electric article 10. By this method, wires in the control box can be fixed reliably and easily.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle control device which is mounted under the floor of a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A control device for a vehicle (hereinafter, referred to as a control device) that is outfitted under the floor of a vehicle is required to be further miniaturized due to the restriction of the outfitting space under the floor. On the other hand, in order to prevent malfunction due to noise, etc., the wiring between the electrical equipment stored in the control box of the control device and other control devices, etc.
Wire bundles of different systems must be mounted with a certain distance from each other. In recent years, more advanced control technology has been adopted, and the number of wire bundles with different systems increases, and it is an important technical issue to classify them so that they do not affect each other. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a control device mounted under the floor.

The control device 31 mounted on the underfloor 30 of the vehicle is
A cover 37 is opened in the control box 32 to accommodate an electric component 33, and a wire is connected between the external connector 34 and the electric component 33.
As for these electric wires, electric wires of the same system are divided into electric wire bundles 35, and the electric wires are fixed to the electric wire support 36 of the control box 32.

[0004]

In such a control device, fixing the bundle of electric wires to the electric wire support is an operation inside the control box. The control device is required to be miniaturized by being installed under the floor of the vehicle, and the work space for mounting the wiring is not secured in the control box, and the work is performed in a narrow space. Therefore, the wiring mounting on the control box depends on the skill of the operator, and it is difficult to stabilize the quality of the wiring mounting. It is therefore an object of the present invention to eliminate the above-mentioned problems and provide a vehicle control device capable of reliably and easily mounting wiring in a control box.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the invention according to claim 1, a control box for accommodating electric components for a vehicle, and an electric wire for electrically connecting the inside and the outside of the control box,
An electric wire fixture that is removably attached to the inside of the control box and an electric wire is fixed thereto. Further, in the invention according to claim 2, a control box for accommodating electrical components for a vehicle, an electric wire for electrically connecting the inside and the outside of the control box, and a fixing plate for fixing the electric wire to a support plate forming one surface of the control box And an electric wire fixture having a member.

[0006]

With the above-described structure, the electric wire is fixed to the electric wire fixing tool outside the control box in advance, the electric wire fixing tool is detachably attached to the control box, and the electric appliance for vehicle and the electric wire are connected. Therefore, the electric wire can be securely and easily fixed in the control box. In addition, even if a wire failure occurs, it can be easily removed from the control box.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are views showing an embodiment of a vehicle control device according to the invention of claim 1, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric wire fixing device, and FIG. 2 is an installation of the electric wire fixing device in a control box. FIG.

The electric wire fixture 1 comprises a support frame 2 for attaching to the control box 8 and an electric wire fixing member 3 for binding and fixing the electric wire bundle 4. The electric wire bundle 4 is provided with an external connector 5 and an internal connector 6 at both ends, and the electric wire bundle 4 is fixed to the electric wire fixing member 3 of the electric wire fixture 1 in advance. Then, open the cover 9 on the side of the control box 8, store the electric article 10, and insert the electric wire fixture 1.
The fixing hole 7 of the support frame 2 is provided with a screw seat 12 on the mounting frame 11 on the inner surface of the control box 8 and fixed by screwing or riveting. Then, the external connector 5 is attached to the external connecting portion 13, and the internal connector 6 is attached to the electrical component 10.

Therefore, the wires are bundled in advance, the wire bundle 4 is mounted on the wire fixing member 3, and then mounted in the control box 8, so that the mounting work can be reliably and easily performed outside the control box 8. Further, even if the electric wire has a disconnection defect, it can be replaced for each electric wire fixing tool 1 or can be inspected outside the control box 8. Therefore, maintenance can be performed more easily than before.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the electric wire fixture 1 is attached to the upper portion of the control box 8, but the electric wire fixture 1 may be attached to the side surface and the bottom surface of the control box 8. See also Figure 3
It is also possible to fix the electric wire bundle 4 to a plurality of electric wire fixtures 1 as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of a control box showing an embodiment of the invention described in claim 2. The present embodiment is an example in which a support plate provided with an electric wire fixing member for fixing the electric wire bundle is detachably attached to the upper part of the control box.

The wire fixing device 20 is a wire fixing member 22 for fixing a support plate 21 for attaching to the control box 24 and a wire bundle 23.
It consists of and. The upper portion of the control box 24 is open, and the support plate 21 of the electric wire fixture 20 is fixed to the electric wire bundle 23 at that portion, and then attached by bolting or the like.

Also in this embodiment, the electric wire bundle 23 can be mounted on the control box 24 after the electric wire bundle 23 is mounted outside the control box 24, so that the mounting work can be performed reliably and easily. Further, since the wire fixing device 20 also serves as the upper portion of the control box 24, the weight of the entire control device can be reduced.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the wires can be bundled and mounted reliably and easily, the quality can be stabilized.
