Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a wire clamp, and more particularly to a wire clamp that can securely lock a wire on a vehicle or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a wire clamp has been used to lock a wiring wire of a vehicle electrical component in a vehicle. FIG. 5 shows a first conventional example. In FIG. 5, the plate member 43 is fixed to the bundle of electric wires 45 with insulating coating for wiring of the electric component by the tapes 41 and 42. Further, a synthetic resin panel insertion portion 44 is planted in the plate member 43. The panel insertion portion 44 is inserted and fixed in a hole of a panel (not shown). FIG. 7 shows a sectional structure of the second conventional example. In FIG. 7, a wire bundle 55 with an insulating film for wiring is locked to the wire clamp 50. The wire clamp 50 can be opened and closed by a hinge 51, and is fixed by a lock portion 52 and an engagement portion 53. Further, a synthetic resin panel insertion portion 54 is planted on the outer surface of the wire clamp 50. The panel insertion portion 54 is similar to the panel insertion portion 44 described above.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-described first conventional example, when an abnormal external force is applied to the wire bundle 45 with the panel insertion portion 44 inserted into the hole of the panel (not shown) and fixed, as shown in FIG. However, there was a defect that the wire was bent and separated from the wire bundle 45. Further, in the above-described second conventional example, in the same case, the lock portion 52 and the engaging portion 53 of the wire clamp 50 are disengaged, and the wire clamp 50 is separated from the wire bundle 55. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a wire clamp in which the wire does not separate from the wire clamp even when an abnormal external force is applied to the wire.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the structure of the present invention is a wire clamp in which a wire is fixed to a predetermined portion of a vehicle or the like. The lock portion is formed on one end of the tubular body in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and the lock portion is formed on the other end side of the tubular body in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction. Through the hole, an engaging portion formed on the outer surface to engage with the lock portion inserted through the hole, and a portion implanted on the inner surface when the lock portion engages with the engaging portion. A wire clamp, further comprising: a supporting rod portion having a tip protruding outside the outer surface, and a panel fixing claw formed at a tip of the supporting rod portion.

[0005]

[Action]

 With the above structure, when the lock portion engages with the engagement portion, the panel fixed so as to be sandwiched between the panel fixing claw and the outer surface presses the lock portion toward the engagement portion side. Even if an abnormal external force is applied to the wire engaged with, the lock portion and the engagement portion will not be disengaged.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the whole of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the front of this embodiment. 1 and 2, the wire clamp 10 has a tubular shape that can be opened and closed in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction 19. An electric wire bundle 30 with an insulating coating for wiring of a vehicle electric component is locked to the inner surface 11 of the wire clamp 10. An integral hinge 13 is formed substantially in the center of the tubular body 10a of the wire clamp 10, and the integral hinge 13 allows the wire clamp 10 to be opened and closed. The pair of lock portions 14a are formed at one end of the wire clamp 10 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction 19, and the pair of holes 15 allow the lock portion 14a to pass from the inner surface 11 side to the outer surface 12 side. It is formed on the other end side in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction 19 of. The pair of engaging portions 14 b are formed on the outer surface 12 of the wire clamp 10. The support rod portion 16 is embedded in the inner surface 11. When the locking portion 14a engages with the engaging portion 14b, the tip 16a of the supporting portion 16 projects to the outside of the outer surface 12. Further, a panel fixing claw 18 is formed on the tip 16a of the support rod portion 16. A wire clamp positioning claw 17a is attached to the side surface 16b of the support rod portion 16. The support rod portion 16 is inserted through the hole 21 of the panel 20, and the tip 18a of the panel fixing claw 18 cannot pass through the hole 21 of the panel 20, so the wire clamp 10 is fixed to the panel 20. The panel 20 is formed in the engine room of the vehicle or the like.

FIG. 3 shows the front of the wire clamp 10 in an open state (before assembly). In FIG. 3, the lock portion 14a is disengaged from the engaging portion 14b. The wire clamp 10 is made of synthetic resin and integrally molded as shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows a part of the support rod portion. Note that FIG. 4 includes (a) and (b). In FIG. 4A, the wire clamp positioning claw 17 a is attached to the side surface 16 b of the support rod portion 16 as described above. In FIG. 4B, instead of the wire clamp positioning claw 17 a, a wire clamp positioning claw 17 b is attached to the side surface 16 b of the support rod portion 16. Since the positions of the wire clamp positioning claws 17a and 17b are aligned with the positions of the holes 21 1 of the panel 20, the wire clamp 10 is prevented from lateral displacement.

With the above configuration, when the lock portion 14a is engaged with the engagement portion 14b, the panel 20 fixed so as to be sandwiched between the panel fixing claw 18 and the outer surface 12 engages the lock portion 14a. Since the pressing force is applied to the mating portion 14b, even if an abnormal external force is applied to the wire bundle 30 for wiring with which the wire clamp 10 is engaged, the engagement between the lock portion 14a and the engaging portion 14b may be disengaged. Absent. For this reason, even when an external force is applied to the wire bundle 30 for wiring, the wire bundle 30 for wiring does not separate from the wire clamp 10. If the panel fixing claw 18 has a long hole type (the tip 18a of the panel fixing claw 18 is widened in the vertical direction in FIG. 2), the rotation can be prevented. Further, in the above embodiment, not only the wire bundle for wiring but also one wire for wiring may be used. Furthermore, it is not limited to the wiring electric wire, and a general wire may be used. Further, the location where the panel is formed is not limited to the inside of the vehicle. The wire clamp positioning claws 17a and 17b are not essential and may be omitted.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 As described in detail above, according to the wire clamp of the present invention, the wire does not separate from the wire clamp even when an abnormal external force is applied to the wire. Therefore, the reliability of the wire clamp can be improved.
