Abstract
The terminal connecting portion is covered at a rear portion with the molding resin 30 such that the covered rear portion is shaped in fusiform, and when the sheathed wire 10 is bent at this portion, the resin thereon is less peeled off. The molding part 43 of the die 40 is closed at one side with the elastic lid plates 9a, 9b opposing at an upper part and a lower part each other, and the terminal connecting portion is set to the molding part 43, and a part of the sheathed wire 10 extending rearwards from one side of the molding part 43 is elastically held by the elastic lid plates 9a, 9b upwards and downwards. The molten molding resin 30 is injected into the molding part 43 to cover almost the whole of the terminal connecting portion. Radiating fins are formed in a slope of the tapered hole in one side of the mold, said radiating fins having a plurality of parallel alternate concave grooves and convex ribs so as to improve the radiating effect of the molding resin 30 and shorten a cooling time.
Description
- The present invention relates to a waterproofing apparatus for a terminal connecting portion of a sheathed wire being waterproofed by resin molding.
- Generally, in a case of a sheathed wire, its front end is stripped to expose conductors therein, and stripped or bare conductors are connected to an electric part or to machinery through a terminal fitting which is crimped by such as caulking. Being left to be bare as it is after crimping, a water content goes into the sheathed wire owing to capillary phenomenon. For avoiding this, the terminal connecting portion including the bare conductors is protected by various covering means for waterproofing.
- For example, a grounding terminal fitting described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 10-289745A is waterproofed by covering a thermally shrinkable tube on the bare conductors of the terminal connecting portion, and heating to deposit it thereon. Further, such a technique is obviously known as a connecting plate for battery holder set forth in Japanese Patent Publication No. 11-120986A, in which the terminal connecting portion is covered with a molding resin to provide the water proofing in wiring to an electric source of an electric vehicle, said terminal connecting portion being attached under pressure with a terminal fitting on a bare conductor.
- FIG. 6 is for conceptually explaining the waterproofing apparatus of the latter related art, and is a sectional side view showing a structure of a molding die composing essential parts of the apparatus.
- A
molding die 1 comprises anupper mold 2 and alower mold 3, which are provided at interiors with amolding part 4 being a molding cavity, and a molten molding resin shown witharrows 6 is inject to pour into said interior from arunner channel 5 of an injecting gate. At the interior of themold 4,bare conductors 7 a stripped by peering a front end part of the sheathed wire 7 are crimped with a terminal fitting 8 by caulking, and the thus formed terminal connection is set for positioning as a whole body excepting the only front end connecting portion of aterminal fitting 8. - The sheathed wire7 does not require the waterproofing treatment at a part having length extending rearwards from the terminal fitting 8, and so this part should be projected outside of the die. With respect to this projecting part of the sheathed wire 7, for the
molten molding resin 6 not to flow out therefrom, themolding part 4 is closed at one side with anelastic lid plate 9 such as a rubber material. Theelastic lid plate 9 is of upper and lower division type composed of anupper part 9 a and alower part 9 b, and the sheathed wire 7 of a part around said projection is elastically held vertically. - However, the
elastic lid plate 9 serves to stop themolding resin 6 flowing out, and at the same time serves to hold the sheathed wire 7 to press it down, but being the rubber material, the following problems are present. - One of them is that when injecting to pour the
molding resin 6, if a resin pouring force acts on the interior of themolding part 4, theelastic lid plate 9 is pressed from the inside due to the resin pouring force and is elastically deformed. Especially, as in FIG. 6, the elastic deformation is large on theupper part 9 a of theplate 9, so that apart 9 c of theplate 9 closely attaching the outer circumference of the sheathed wire 7 is pushed outside from the inside. As a result, a space is created between theparts - Another problem results from difference in heat conductivity between the
elastic lid plate 9 of the rubber material and the metal-made upper andlower molds plate 9 is smaller in the heat conductivity than the metal-made molds, a part of themolding resin 6 contacting theplate 9 within themolding part 4 takes a longer time to be consumed for cooling and hardening than other parts therewithin, and this is delayed in releasing from the molds so much, taking a longer time and causing to lower productivity. - A further problem is, as apparently from FIG. 6, that one side (right side in the figure) of the
molding part 4 is substantially perpendicular to theelastic lid plate 9, and a rear part of the terminal connecting portion covered thereat is naturally formed to be upright. Therefore, if the sheathed wire 7 is bent, peeling instantly starts at the rear part of the terminal connecting portion. - It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide a waterproofing apparatus for a terminal connecting portion of the sheathed wire effective to prevention of peeling a resin by improving a shape of a molding part as the molding cavity of the die which composes the essential parts of the apparatus so as to prevent leakage of the molding resin from the molding part, accelerating to cool and harden the molding resin for realizing to leave from the die at earlier period of time so as to improve productivity, and forming the rear part of the terminal connection to be a suitable shape after molding to cover the resin.
- In order to achieve the above objects, according to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for waterproofing a terminal connecting portion of a sheathed wire, in which a terminal fitting and a bare conductor of the sheathed wire are connected with each other, by molding with resin, the apparatus comprising:
- an upper mold having an inner space which defines an upper part of a molding cavity in which the terminal connecting portion of the sheathed wire is accommodated and molten resin is injected therein;
- a lower mold having an inner space which defines a lower part of the molding cavity;
- an upper elastic lid member provided with the upper mold; and
- a lower elastic lid member provided with the lower mold, the upper and lower lid member elastically holding the sheathed wire therebetween when the connecting portion thereof is accommodated in the molding cavity,
- wherein the inner space of the upper mold and the inner space of the lower mold is respectively narrowed toward the upper lid member and the lower lid member such that the molding cavity in the vicinity of the connecting portion of the sheathed wire has a fusiform shape.
- In the above configuration, since the resin pouring pressure may be low, the poured resin would not push the lid member from inside of the molding cavity. Therefore, since elastic deformation of the lid member can be suppressed, the molding resin can be prevented from getting out of the molding die.
- Preferably, the narrowed portions of the upper and lower molds are provided with radiating fins in which a plurality of concave grooves and convex ribs are alternately arranged.
- In the above configuration, since cooling at a portion near the elastic lid member is accelerated by the radiating fins, there can be solved a problem due to heat conductivity difference as described above.
- Preferably, the most narrowed portions of the narrowed portions define an aperture having a diameter which is substantially as same as a diameter of the sheathed wire.
- In the above configuration, since the thickness of the molded portion which contacts with the sheathed wire is made minimum, even if the sheathed wire is bent or flexed at that point, the peeling-off of the resin can be prevented.
- According to the present invention, there is also provided a terminal connecting portion of a sheathed wire which is waterproofed by the waterproofing apparatus as described above. There can be provided a fusiform molded portion which covers and waterproofs the terminal connecting portion in which a terminal fitting and a bare conductor of the sheathed wire are connected with each other.
- In the above configuration, even if the sheathed wire is bent or flexed at that point, the peeling-off of the resin can be prevented.

- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a terminal connecting portion before waterproofing, in which a front end part of the
sheathed wire 10 is peeled off to expose abare conductors 11 and aterminal fitting 20 is crimped thereon. A group of two pieces of wires shown in FIG. 2B is exemplified as the sheathedwire 10. - The terminal fitting20 has a connecting
part 21 formed to be flat at the front portion, and as seen in FIG. 4, abolt 3 is passed through an opening at a central part of theconnection 21, so that the terminal fitting 20 serves as a ground line in a vehicle body. Theconnection 21 is formed to be caulkingparts bare conductors 11 to caulk thebare conductors 11. - FIGS. 2A and 2B show the molding die40 of an essential part of the apparatus for setting such terminal connecting portions so as to carry out the waterproofing treatment, and essential parts thereof.
- The

The molding die 40 has arunner channel 44 of an injecting gate for injecting to pour the molten molding resin shown with reference numeral “30” in themolding part 43. Themolding part 43 faces the outside of the die at its one side, and this one side is closed withelastic lid plates upper mold 41 and thelower mold 42, said one side having been shown in FIG. 6 of the related example. Theelastic lid plates respective clamps - FIG. 2B is a vertically cross sectional view seen from Y-Y line of FIG. 2A. At said one side of the
molding part 43 facing theelastic lid plates fins molding part 43 is formed at an inner part thereof with a tapered shape dividing into theupper mold 41 and thelower mold 42, and the tapered slope is formed with the radiatingfins fins wire 10 being able to pass therethrough. - For waterproofing the terminal connecting portion, as shown in FIG. 2A, the terminal connecting portion is set to position the whole part thereof on the
molding part 43 in such a shape, excepting the connectingpart 21 of the front end of theterminal fitting 20. The part of the sheathedwire 10 extending rearwards of the terminal fitting 20 does not require the waterproofing treatment, and it is therefore projected outside of the die. This projecting part out of the radiatingfins elastic lid plates lower molds - After setting, the
molten molding resin 30 is injected from the injecting gate, poured to themolding part 43 in the die through therunner channel 44, and is spread allover the interior of themolding part 43 and comes to the radiatingfins - Since the radiating
fins elastic lid plate molding resin 30 reaching there is naught or minimum, and a force pressing theelastic lid plate elastic lid plate molding resin 30 contacts continuous concave grooves and convex ribs of the radiatingfins molding resin 30 pushes aside theelastic lid plate - In the exemplified molding die40, the disadvantage as in the related structure shown in FIG. 6 is compensated that the
molding resin 6 directly contacts theplate lower molds plate molding resin 30 to other parts of themolding part 43, a mold release can be efficiently performed so much. - As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal connecting portion waterproofed by the
molding resin 30 is shaped as fusiform or cocoon as a whole following the shape of the radiatingfins molding part 43. Being able to shape a fusiform brings about the following advantages. Thickness of the molding resin becomes thinner at the rear part of the taper shaped in fusiform, in other words, at the rear part of the terminal fitting 20, so that when the sheathedwire 10 is bent, this portion is extended and shrunk to easily follow the shape. Themolding resin 30 is difficult to strip from the outer circumference of the sheathed wire so much, and the waterproofing capability can be maintained stable. - FIG. 4 is a side view showing, partially in cross section, a state where the terminal connection waterproof treated by the resin is connected as the earth cable to a vehicle body with, for example, a
bolt 3. FIGS. 5A and 5B are front and cross sectional views respectively showing cross sections along A-A line and B-B line of FIG. 4. - As apparently from FIG. 4 and FIGS. 5A, 5B, in the terminal connecting portion waterproofed in the embodiment, the
caulking parts bare conductors 11 at the front end of the sheathedwire 10 and the terminal fitting 20 are covered with themolding resin 30 almost allover the terminal connecting portion after the waterproofing treatment, excepting the connectingpart 21 at the front end of the terminal fitting 20, and the desired waterproofing is treated. - The deposited
molding resin 30 is not upheaved but uniform in any parts caulked by thecaulking parts parts molding resin 30 is fully deposited to cover the three sides of the upper side and both sides of the terminal connecting portion, and a part of the molding resin 30 a goes around both respective sides of the caulked bottom surfaces 23 a, 24 a. But thickness of such a part of the molding resin going around the bottom surface and deposited is a flat surface to an extent of not exceeding a highest part of the caulked bottom surfaces 23 a, 24 a. - Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4, being under the condition that the
caulking parts vehicle body 4, all the areas of the bottom surfaces 23 a, 24 a contact the upper surface of thevehicle body 4, so that any electrically conductive inferiority can be avoided between the connectingpart 21 at the front end of the terminal fitting 20 and thevehicle body 4. - Herein, for the
molding resin 30 as the sealing resin of high viscosity, in substitution for the related polyamide based hot melt brittle in the oil content as gasoline, the moisture hardening resin, specifically polyurethane hot melt is used as a molding compound. - The moisture hardening polyurethane hot melt disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 10-511716A may be adopted. The melt viscosity is preferably 50 [Pa-s] or lower, more preferably 20 [Pa-s] or lower. The adhesive agent is substantially of non-solvent containing urethane radical. In addition, it is solid at room temperatures, and it is taken as an adhesive agent which is not only physically solidified by cooling after having been used in a melted form, but also solidified by chemical reaction between still existing isocyanate radical and moisture. The “moisture hardenability” means that polyurethane hot melt contains, more specifically silane and/or isocyanate radical generating chain extension reaction with water as a moisture in an air.
- Namely, the present embodiment uses the moisture hardening polyurethane hot melt of
viscosity 20 Pa-s as one example of themolding resin 30 by the sealing resin of high viscosity, and sets the melting temperature at injecting to be about 100° C. in the molding die 40. As mentioned above, the melting temperature at injecting in the molding die 40 can be determined to be low temperature as, for example, 100° C., and the injecting temperature as 100° C. is very low in comparison with 220° C. of polyamide based hot melt to be used in the related resin molding. By realizing it, operators of molding are released from working at high temperature and the labor burden is considerably lightened. - Even if the injecting temperature of the moisture hardening polyurethane hot melt of the present example is 100° C., this substance has the heat resistance to around 160° C. after the reaction (PuR-Hmi). This fact means that it is sufficiently adapted to use under high temperature circumstances as in vehicle engine rooms.
- Although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, various changes and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the teachings herein. Such changes and modifications as are obvious are deemed to come within the spirit, scope and contemplation of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
