Description

端子付き電線Electric wire with terminal
 本発明は、端子付き電線に関する。 The present invention relates to an electric wire with a terminal.
 従来、電線の端部から露出する芯線に、端子に形成されたワイヤーバレルを外側から巻き付けるように圧着することにより、電線と端子とを電気的に接続した端子付き電線が知られている。 Conventionally, a terminal-attached electric wire in which the electric wire and the terminal are electrically connected by crimping the wire barrel formed on the terminal from the outside to the core wire exposed from the end of the electric wire is known.
特開2010-62097号公報JP 2010-62097 A
 しかしながら、上記の芯線の表面に酸化被膜が形成されると、芯線と端子との電気抵抗が大きくなることが懸念される。電気抵抗を小さくするためには、芯線に対して高い圧力でワイヤーバレルを巻き付けることにより、芯線の表面の酸化被膜を破壊することが考えられる。この結果、芯線の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破れて芯線の新生面が露出し、新生面と端子とが接触することにより、電気抵抗が小さくなることが期待された。 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.
 しかしながら上記の手法によると、芯線の断面積が大きく減少するため、機械的強度、特に衝撃的な荷重に対する引張強度(より具体的には圧着端子が電線を保持する強度)が低下する。 However, according to the above method, since the cross-sectional area of the core wire is greatly reduced, the mechanical strength, in particular, the tensile strength against an impact load (more specifically, the strength at which the crimp terminal holds the electric wire) is lowered.
 本発明は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、良好な電気的性能と電線(芯線)の保持力とを両立できる端子付き電線を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a terminal-attached electric wire that can achieve both good electrical performance and electric wire (core wire) holding power.
 本発明は、端子付き電線であって、芯線を有する電線と、前記電線の端部から露出する前記芯線の端部に外側から巻き付けられるように圧着された圧着部材と、前記芯線及び前記圧着部材に外側から圧着されたワイヤーバレルを備えた端子と、を備え、前記芯線のうち前記圧着部材が巻き付けられた状態で前記ワイヤーバレルに圧着された部分は高圧縮部とされ、前記芯線のうち前記ワイヤーバレルのみに圧着された部分は前記高圧縮部よりも低圧縮された低圧縮部とされる。 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.
 本発明によれば、低圧縮部においてワイヤーバレルが芯線を圧着することにより、電線と端子との間の保持力が向上する。 According to the present invention, the holding force between the electric wire and the terminal is improved by the wire barrel pressing the core wire in the low compression portion.
 一方、高圧縮部においては、芯線はワイヤーバレル及び圧着部材によって高圧縮される。これにより、芯線と圧着部材とが摺接し、芯線の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破壊されて、削り取られる。すると、芯線を構成する金属の表面が露出する。この露出した金属表面と、ワイヤーバレルとが接触することにより、芯線と端子との間の電気的抵抗値を小さくすることができる。 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.
 本発明によれば、端子付き電線において、良好な電気的性能と電線(芯線)の保持力とを両立させることができる。 According to the present invention, in an electric wire with a terminal, it is possible to achieve both good electrical performance and holding power of the electric wire (core wire).

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.
 図1には、インシュレーションバレル17及びワイヤーバレル16が電線12に圧着された状態が示されている。上述したように、インシュレーションバレル17は、絶縁被覆15の外周に巻き付くように圧着されている。 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.
 ワイヤーバレル16は、芯線11の外周と、芯線11に圧着された圧着部材21の外周とに、巻き付くようにして圧着されている。圧着部材21のうち、ワイヤーバレル16の端縁から突出した部分は、突出部22とされる。更に、突出部22の先端からは、芯線11が僅かに突出している。 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.
 図6に示すように、芯線11のうちワイヤーバレル16のみによって圧着された領域は、比較的に低圧縮された低圧縮部23とされる。ここで、圧縮率は、{(圧縮後の導体の断面積)/(圧縮前の導体の断面積)}×100(%)で定義される。低圧縮とは、圧縮率が大きい値を示すことを意味し、高圧縮とは、圧縮率が小さい値を示すことを意味する。 As shown in FIG. 6, a region of the core wire 11 that is crimped only by the wire barrel 16 is a low-compression portion 23 that is relatively 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.
 また、図7に示すように、芯線11のうち、ワイヤーバレル16と、圧着部材21とによって圧着された領域は、低圧縮部23に比べて、圧着部材21の厚さ寸法だけ高圧縮された高圧縮部24とされる。 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 highly compressed by the thickness dimension of the crimping member 21 compared to the low compression portion 23. The high compression unit 24 is used.
(本実施形態の作用、効果)
 続いて、本実施形態の作用、効果について説明する。本実施形態によれば、低圧縮部23においてワイヤーバレル16が芯線11を圧着することにより、電線12と端子13との間の保持力が向上する。
(Operation and effect of this embodiment)
Then, the effect | action and effect of this embodiment are demonstrated. According to this embodiment, 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.
 低圧縮部23における圧縮率は、50%よりも大きいことが好ましく、60~90%であることがより好ましく、70~80%とすることが特に好ましい。 The compression rate in the low compression part 23 is preferably larger than 50%, more preferably 60 to 90%, and particularly preferably 70 to 80%.
 一方、高圧縮部24においては、芯線11はワイヤーバレル16及び圧着部材21によって高圧縮される。これにより、芯線11と圧着部材21とが摺接し、芯線11の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破壊されて、削り取られる。すると、芯線11を構成する金属の表面が露出する。この露出した金属表面と、ワイヤーバレル16とが接触することにより、芯線11と端子13との間の電気的抵抗値を小さくすることができる。 On the other hand, in the high compression portion 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.
 また、高圧縮部24と低圧縮部23との間の領域においては、芯線11を構成する素線14同士が強くこすれ合う。この結果、素線14の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破壊されて、素線14を構成する金属表面が露出する。この金属表面同士が接触することにより、素線14同士の電気的抵抗値を小さくすることができる。これにより、芯線11の中心付近に位置する素線14についても、端子13との電気的な接続に寄与させることができる。この結果、芯線11と端子13との間の電気的抵抗値を一層小さくすることができる。 Further, in the region between the high compression portion 24 and the low compression portion 23, the strands 14 constituting the core wire 11 are rubbed 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.
 このように、本実施形態によれば、低圧縮部23においては電線12と端子13との機械的な保持力を向上させることが可能であり、更に、低圧縮部23においては、電線12と端子13との間の電気的抵抗値を小さくすると共に、素線14同士の間の電気的抵抗値も小さくすることができる。 Thus, according to the present embodiment, 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.
 高圧縮部24における芯線11の圧縮率は、芯線11の表面の酸化皮膜を破壊して電気抵抗が小さく良好な電気的性能を確保するために50%以下とすることが好ましく、35%以下とすることがより好ましく、25%以下とすることが更に好ましく、20%以下とすることが特に好ましい。 The compressibility of the core wire 11 in the high compression portion 24 is preferably 50% or less, and is preferably 35% or less in order to destroy the oxide film on the surface of the core wire 11 to ensure a small electrical resistance and good electrical performance. More preferably, it is more preferably 25% or less, and particularly preferably 20% or less.
 圧縮率を50%以下とすることで芯線11の酸化被膜を破壊することができる。これにより、芯線11と端子13との電気抵抗値を小さくすることができる。また、圧縮率を35%以下とすると、芯線11を構成する素線14の表面同士が微視的に凝着するので電気的抵抗値を小さくすることができる。更に、圧縮率を25%以下とすると、素線14同士が巨視的に凝着するので、電気的抵抗値を更に小さくすることができる。更に、圧縮率を20%以下にすると、素線14同士を確実に凝着させることができるので、電気的抵抗値を確実に小さくすることができる。 When the compression ratio is 50% or less, 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.
 また、本実施形態によれば、ワイヤーバレル16の端縁から突出する芯線11は、圧着部材21の突出部22によって圧着された状態になっている。これにより、ワイヤーバレル16に加えられた圧力によって、ワイヤーバレル16の端縁から芯線11が膨出することを抑制することができる。この結果、芯線11が、端子13以外の部材に接触して短絡することを抑制することができる。高圧縮部24において芯線11が高圧縮される場合には、芯線11がワイヤーバレル16から膨出しやすくなるため、特に有効である。 Further, according to the present embodiment, 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.
 また、本実施形態によれば、従来の端子13をそのまま使用しながら、圧着部材21を芯線11に圧着するという簡単な工程を追加するだけで、良好な導電性の確保と電線12(芯線11)保持力の確保を両立することが可能となる。 In addition, according to the present embodiment, the use of the conventional terminal 13 as it is and the addition of a simple process of crimping the crimping member 21 to the core wire 11 makes it possible to ensure good electrical conductivity and the electric wire 12 (core wire 11). ) It is possible to achieve both securing of holding power.
(実施形態1-1の変形例)
 圧着部材21には、芯線11と接触する面に、凹部25を形成してもよい。凹部25は、図8に示すように、圧着部材21の長さ方向に延びる溝状に形成してもよい。また、詳細には図示しないが、複数の凹部25は、圧着部材21のうち芯線11と接触する面に、離散的に配する構成としてもよい。
(Modification of Embodiment 1-1)
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.
 <実施形態1-2>
 次に、本発明の実施形態1-2を、図9ないし図13を参照しつつ説明する。図9に示すように、本実施形態に係る端子付き電線30に備えられた圧着部材31は、芯線11の端縁に当接する芯線当接部32を備える。
<Embodiment 1-2>
Next, Embodiment 1-2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 9, the crimping member 31 provided in the terminal-attached electric wire 30 according to the present embodiment includes a core wire contact portion 32 that contacts the edge of the core wire 11.
 図10及び図11に示すように、細長い板状をなす圧着部材31の長さ方向の略中央付近には、電線12の軸線方向に延出されると共に、電線12の軸線方向に直交する方向であって且つ芯線11側に折り曲げられた芯線当接部32が形成されている。芯線当接部32は、芯線11の外周に圧着部材31が圧着された状態で、芯線11の端縁に当接するようになっている。 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.
 図12及び図13に示すように、芯線当接部32を芯線11の端縁に当接した状態で、芯線11の外周に圧着部材31が配されて、圧着部材31が芯線11に圧着されるようになっている。 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.
 芯線11に圧着部材31が圧着された電線12は、端子13と接続される。詳細には、電線12の絶縁被覆15がインシュレーションバレル17の上に載置されると共に、電線12の芯線11及び圧着部材31がワイヤーバレル16の上に載置される。その後に、インシュレーションバレル17が絶縁被覆15の外周にかしめ付けられると共に、ワイヤーバレル16が芯線11及び圧着部材31の外周にかしめ付けられるようになっている。 The electric wire 12 in which the crimping member 31 is 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.
 図9に示すように、芯線当接部32は、ワイヤーバレル16の先端から突出する突出部33から更に突出した状態で、端子13に配されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the core wire contact portion 32 is arranged on the terminal 13 in a state of further protruding from the protruding portion 33 protruding from the tip of the wire barrel 16.
 上記以外の構成については、実施形態1-1と略同様なので、同一部材については同一符号を付し、重複する説明を省略する。 Since the configuration other than the above is substantially the same as that of Embodiment 1-1, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
 本実施形態によれば、圧着部材31には芯線11の端部に当接する芯線当接部32が設けられているので、芯線11に対して圧着部材31を組み付ける際に、芯線当接部32を芯線11の端縁に当接させることにより、芯線11と圧着部材31との位置決めを容易に行うことができる。これにより、絶縁被覆15の皮剥ぎ作業を行う際に、絶縁被覆15を余計に皮剥ぎする必要がなくなる。 According to the present embodiment, the crimping member 31 is provided with the core wire abutting portion 32 that abuts on the end portion of the core wire 11, and therefore, when the crimping member 31 is assembled to the core wire 11, the core wire abutting portion 32. 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.
 また、芯線11の端縁には芯線当接部32が当接しているので、芯線11の端縁から芯線11を構成する素線14がはみ出してくることが抑制されるようになっている。これにより、芯線11に圧着部材31を圧着した後に、芯線11の先端を揃える作業を省略することができる。 Further, since the core wire contact portion 32 is in contact with the edge of the core wire 11, it is possible to suppress the strand 14 constituting the core wire 11 from protruding from the 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.
 <実施形態1-3>
 次に、本発明の実施形態1-3を、図14ないし図21を参照しつつ説明する。図14に示すように、本実施形態に係る端子付き電線40に備えられた圧着部材41は、ワイヤーバレル16の側縁に当接するワイヤーバレル当接部42を備える。
<Embodiment 1-3>
Next, Embodiment 1-3 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 14, the crimping member 41 provided in the terminal-attached electric wire 40 according to the present embodiment includes a wire barrel contact portion 42 that contacts the side edge of the wire barrel 16.
 図15ないし図18に示すように、細長く延びた板状の圧着部材41には、長手方向の中央付近から延出されると共に芯線11側に曲げられてなる芯線当接部43が形成されている。芯線当接部43は、芯線11に圧着部材41が圧着された状態で芯線11の端縁に当接するようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, an elongated plate-like crimping member 41 is formed with a core wire contact portion 43 that extends from the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction and is bent toward the core wire 11. . 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.
 芯線当接部43の側縁には、圧着部材41に向かって延びる一対のワイヤーバレル当接部42が形成されている。図17及び図18に示すように、ワイヤーバレル当接部42は、圧着部材41よりも外側の位置に配されるようになっている。 A pair of wire barrel contact portions 42 extending toward the crimping member 41 are formed on the side edges of the core wire contact portion 43. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the wire barrel abutting portion 42 is arranged at a position outside the crimping member 41.
 図19ないし図21に示すように、圧着部材41は、芯線11の端縁に芯線当接部43が当接した状態で、芯線11の外周に圧着されている。 As shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the crimping member 41 is crimped to the outer periphery of the core wire 11 with the core wire abutting portion 43 in contact with the end edge of the core wire 11.
 芯線11に圧着部材41が圧着された電線12は、端子13と接続される。詳細には、電線12の絶縁被覆15がインシュレーションバレル17の上に載置されると共に、電線12の芯線11及び圧着部材41がワイヤーバレル16の上に載置される。その後に、インシュレーションバレル17が絶縁被覆15の外周にかしめ付けられると共に、ワイヤーバレル16が芯線11及び圧着部材41の外周にかしめ付けられるようになっている。 The electric wire 12 in which the crimping member 41 is 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.
 図20及び図21に示すように、ワイヤーバレル当接部42の先端は、ワイヤーバレル16の側縁に当接するようになっている。 20 and 21, the tip of the wire barrel abutting portion 42 abuts on the side edge of the wire barrel 16.
 図14に示すように、芯線当接部43から圧着部材41側に向かって延出されたワイヤーバレル当接部42の長さ寸法により、圧着部材41とワイヤーバレル16とが重なる長さ寸法が設定されるようになっている。すなわち、まず、ワイヤーバレル当接部42の先端がワイヤーバレル16の側縁と当接することにより、ワイヤーバレル16の側縁に対する、圧着部材41の相対的な位置が定まる。この結果、圧着部材41がワイヤーバレル16と重なる長さ寸法が定まるのである。これにより、ワイヤーバレル16と圧着部材41とによって芯線11が圧着されている高圧縮部24の長さ寸法を確実に定めることができるようになっている。 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.
 また、圧着部材41は、ワイヤーバレル16の端縁から突出する突出部44を備える。 The crimping member 41 includes a protruding portion 44 that protrudes from the end edge of the wire barrel 16.
 上記以外の構成については、実施形態1-1と略同様なので、同一部材については同一符号を付し、重複する説明を省略する。 Since the configuration other than the above is substantially the same as that of Embodiment 1-1, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
 本実施形態によれば、ワイヤーバレル当接部42がワイヤーバレル16の側縁と当接することにより、ワイヤーバレル16と圧着部材41との相対的な位置を定めることができる。これにより、高圧縮部24の長さ寸法を確実に定めることができる。 According to this embodiment, the wire barrel contact portion 42 contacts the side edge of the wire barrel 16, whereby 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.

(課題を解決するための手段)
 本明細書に開示された技術は、端子付き電線であって、芯線を有する電線と、前記電線の端部から露出する前記芯線の端部に外側から巻き付けられるように圧着された圧着部材と、前記芯線及び前記圧着部材に外側から圧着されたワイヤーバレルを備えた端子と、を備え、前記芯線のうち前記圧着部材が巻き付けられた状態で前記ワイヤーバレルに圧着された部分は高圧縮部とされ、前記芯線のうち前記ワイヤーバレルのみに圧着された部分は前記高圧縮部よりも低圧縮された低圧縮部とされる。
(Means for solving the problem)
The technology disclosed in the present specification is an electric wire with a terminal, an electric wire having a core wire, and a crimping member that is 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, A terminal having a wire barrel crimped to the core wire and the crimp member from outside, and a portion of the core wire that is crimped to the wire barrel in a state where the crimp member is wound is a high compression portion. The portion of the core wire that is crimped only to the wire barrel is a low compression portion that is compressed lower than the high compression portion.
 本明細書に開示された技術によれば、低圧縮部においてワイヤーバレルが芯線を圧着することにより、電線と端子との間の保持力が向上する。
 一方、高圧縮部においては、芯線はワイヤーバレル及び圧着部材によって高圧縮される。これにより、芯線と圧着部材とが摺接し、芯線の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破壊されて、削り取られる。すると、芯線を構成する金属の表面が露出する。この露出した金属表面と、ワイヤーバレルとが接触することにより、芯線と端子との間の電気的抵抗値を小さくすることができる。
According to the technique disclosed in the present specification, the holding force between the electric wire and the terminal is improved by the wire barrel pressing the core wire in the low compression portion.
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.

 前記圧着部材は前記ワイヤーバレルの端縁から突出する突出部を有することが好ましい。
 上記の態様によれば、ワイヤーバレルの端縁から突出する芯線は、圧着部材の突出部によって圧着された状態になっている。これにより、ワイヤーバレルに加えられた圧力によって、ワイヤーバレルの端縁から芯線が膨出することを抑制することができる。この結果、芯線が、端子以外の部材に接触して短絡することを抑制することができる。

As a result, it can suppress that a core wire contacts and short-circuits members other than a terminal.
 前記圧着部材には前記芯線の端部に当接する芯線当接部を備えることが好ましい。

 上記の態様によれば、ワイヤーバレル当接部の長さ寸法を適宜設定することにより、圧着部材とワイヤーバレルとが重なる長さ寸法を正確に設定できるようになっている。すなわち、まず、ワイヤーバレル当接部の先端がワイヤーバレルの側縁と当接することにより、ワイヤーバレルの側縁に対する、圧着部材の相対的な位置が定まる。この結果、圧着部材がワイヤーバレルと重なる長さ寸法が定まる。これにより、ワイヤーバレルと圧着部材とによって芯線が圧着されている高圧縮部の長さ寸法を確実に定めることができる。
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.
 前記芯線は複数の金属製の素線を含み、{(圧縮後の導体の断面積)/(圧縮前の導体の断面積)}×100(%)で定義された圧縮率について、前記低圧縮部の圧縮率は50%よりも大きく設定されており、前記高圧縮部の圧縮率は50%以下に設定されていることが好ましく、35%以下に設定されていることがより好ましく、25%以下に設定されていることが更に好ましく、20%以下に設定されていることが特に好ましい。 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 ratio of the part is set to be larger than 50%, the compression ratio of the high compression part is preferably set to 50% or less, more preferably set to 35% or less, 25% More preferably, it is set below, and it is especially preferable that it is set to 20% or less.
 圧縮率を50%以下とすることで芯線の酸化被膜を破壊することができる。これにより、芯線と端子との電気抵抗値を小さくすることができる。また、圧縮率を35%以下とすると、芯線を構成する素線の表面同士が微視的に凝着するので電気的抵抗値を小さくすることができる。更に、圧縮率を25%以下とすると、素線同士が巨視的に凝着するので、電気的抵抗値を更に小さくすることができる。更に、圧縮率を20%以下にすると、素線同士を確実に凝着させることができるので、電気的抵抗値を確実に小さくすることができる。 When the compression ratio is 50% or less, 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.

(The invention's effect)
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.
 <実施形態2-1>
従来、端子付き電線として特開2010-62097号公報に記載されているものが知られている。この端子付き電線においては、電線の端部から露出する芯線に、端子に形成されたワイヤーバレルを外側から巻き付けるように圧着することにより、電線と端子とが電気的に接続される。
<Embodiment 2-1>
Conventionally, an electric wire with a terminal described in JP 2010-62097 A is known. In this electric wire with terminal, the electric wire and the terminal are electrically connected to each other by crimping the wire barrel formed on the terminal around the core wire exposed from the end of the electric wire so as to be wound from the outside.
 しかしながら、端子付き電線の芯線の表面に酸化被膜が形成されると、芯線と端子との電気抵抗が大きくなることが懸念される。電気抵抗を小さくするためには、芯線に対して高い圧力でワイヤーバレルを巻き付けることにより、芯線の表面の酸化被膜を破壊することが考えられる。その結果、芯線の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破れて芯線の新生面が露出し、新生面と端子とが接触することにより、電気抵抗が小さくなることが期待された。 However, if an oxide film is formed on the surface of the core wire of the electric wire with terminal, 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 broken to expose the new surface of the core wire, and it was expected that the electric resistance would be reduced by the contact between the new surface and the terminal.
 しかしながら上記の手法によると、芯線の断面積が大きく減少するため、機械的強度、特に衝撃的な荷重に対する引張強度(より具体的には圧着端子が電線を保持する強度)が低下する。また、芯線に高い圧力でワイヤーバレルを巻きつけることで、芯線が伸びてワイヤーバレルから飛び出したり、拡がったりすることがある。伸びた芯線は欠落しやすいため、短絡の原因となるという問題があった。 However, according to the above method, since the cross-sectional area of the core wire is greatly reduced, the mechanical strength, in particular, the tensile strength against an impact load (more specifically, the strength at which the crimp terminal holds the electric wire) is lowered. In addition, when the wire barrel is wound around the core wire with a high pressure, the core wire may be stretched and jumped out or expanded. Since the stretched core wire is easily lost, there is a problem of causing a short circuit.
 本明細書に開示された技術は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、良好な電気的性能と芯線の保持力とを両立し、かつ、芯線の飛び出しを防止した端子付き電線を提供することを目的とする。 The technology disclosed in the present specification has been completed based on the above situation, and has a terminal that achieves both good electrical performance and core wire holding force and prevents the core wire from popping out. The purpose is to provide electric wires.

Has been.
 (圧着部材227、押さえ部材229)
 本実施形態においては、電線211の端部において露出する芯線212に圧着部材227が取り付けられている。圧着部材227は、金属板材を所定形状にプレス加工してなる。圧着部材227を構成する金属は、端子220を構成する金属と同じであってもよく、また、異なっていてもよい。本実施形態では、圧着部材227は端子220と同じ金属からなり、銅又は銅合金からなるとともにスズメッキが施されている。
(Crimping member 227, pressing member 229)
In the present embodiment, a crimping member 227 is attached to the core wire 212 exposed at the end of the electric wire 211. The crimping member 227 is formed by pressing a metal plate into a predetermined shape. The metal constituting the crimping member 227 may be the same as the metal constituting the terminal 220 or may be different. In this embodiment, the crimping member 227 is made of the same metal as the terminal 220, is made of copper or a copper alloy, and is tin-plated.
 圧着部材227の厚さ寸法は、端子220の厚さ寸法と同じであってもよく、また、異なっていてもよい。異なっている場合には、圧着部材227の厚さ寸法は、端子220よりも厚くてもよく、また、薄くてもよい。 The thickness dimension of the crimping member 227 may be the same as the thickness dimension of the terminal 220 or may be different. If they are different, the thickness dimension of the crimping member 227 may be thicker than that of the terminal 220 or may be thinner.
 さて、本実施形態において、圧着部材227は図26に示すように、2組の圧着片228,229を有しており、当該2組の圧着片228,229は間隔をあけて一体的に設けられている。図26における左側の一対の圧着片228を第1圧着片228とし、図示右側の一対の圧着片229を第2圧着片229とする。 Now, in this embodiment, the crimping member 227 has two sets of crimping pieces 228 and 229 as shown in FIG. 26, and the two sets of crimping pieces 228 and 229 are provided integrally with a space therebetween. It has been. In FIG. 26, the pair of pressure-bonding pieces 228 on the left side is referred to as a first pressure-bonding piece 228, and the pair of pressure-bonding pieces 229 on the right side in the drawing is referred to as a second pressure-bonding piece 229.
 一対の第1圧着片228は、図22に示すように、露出芯線212の外周に巻きつけられるように圧着されるとともに、その外周には端子220のワイヤーバレル221が巻きつくように圧着されるようになっている。つまり、第1圧着片228は、ワイヤーバレル221とともに芯線212に圧着されて、ワイヤーバレル221のみが圧着される部分よりも芯線212を高い圧縮力で圧縮する機能を有する。 As shown in FIG. 22, the pair of first crimping pieces 228 are crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the exposed core wire 212, and are crimped so that the wire barrel 221 of the terminal 220 is wound around the outer periphery thereof. It is like that. That is, the first crimping piece 228 has a function of being crimped to the core wire 212 together with the wire barrel 221 and compressing the core wire 212 with a higher compressive force than a portion to which only the wire barrel 221 is crimped.
 一方、一対の第2圧着片229は、図22に示すように、第1圧着片228よりも、露出芯線212の先端寄りにおいて、露出芯線212の外周に巻きつけられるように圧着されており、ワイヤーバレル221の端縁よりも芯線212の先端寄りに配されている。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22, the pair of second crimping pieces 229 are crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the exposed core wire 212 closer to the tip of the exposed core wire 212 than the first crimped piece 228, It is arranged closer to the tip of the core wire 212 than the end edge of the wire barrel 221.
 第2圧着片229は、圧着部材227から芯線212が飛び出すのを防止する機能を有する(押さえ部材の一例)。したがって、本実施形態において、押さえ部材229は圧着部材227と一体の部材である。 The second crimping piece 229 has a function of preventing the core wire 212 from jumping out from the crimping member 227 (an example of a pressing member). Therefore, in this embodiment, the pressing member 229 is a member integrated with the crimping member 227.
 (圧着構造)
 図22には、インシュレーションバレル222及びワイヤーバレル221が電線211に圧着された状態が示されている。上述したように、インシュレーションバレル222は、絶縁被覆213の外周に巻き付くように圧着されている。
(Crimp structure)
FIG. 22 shows a state where the insulation barrel 222 and the wire barrel 221 are crimped to the electric wire 211. As described above, the insulation barrel 222 is crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the insulating coating 213.
 ワイヤーバレル221は、芯線212の外周と、芯線212に圧着された圧着部材227の外周とに、巻き付くようにして圧着されている。圧着部材227のうち、第2圧着片229(押さえ部材)はワイヤーバレル221の端縁から突出している。第2圧着片229の先端からは、芯線212が僅かに突出している。 The wire barrel 221 is crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the core wire 212 and the outer periphery of the crimp member 227 crimped to the core wire 212. Of the crimping member 227, the second crimping piece 229 (pressing member) protrudes from the end edge of the wire barrel 221. The core wire 212 slightly protrudes from the tip of the second crimping piece 229.
 芯線212のうちワイヤーバレル221のみによって圧着された領域は、比較的に低圧縮された低圧縮部216とされる。ここで、圧縮率は、{(圧縮後の導体の断面積)/(圧縮前の導体の断面積)}×100(%)で定義される。低圧縮とは、圧縮率が大きい値を示すことを意味し、高圧縮とは、圧縮率が小さい値を示すことを意味する。 The region of the core wire 212 that is crimped only by the wire barrel 221 is a low-compression portion 216 that is relatively 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.
 一方、芯線212のうち、ワイヤーバレル221と、圧着部材227とによって圧着された領域は、低圧縮部216に比べて、圧着部の厚さ寸法だけ高圧縮された高圧縮部215とされる。 On the other hand, a region of the core wire 212 that is crimped by the wire barrel 221 and the crimping member 227 is a high compression portion 215 that is highly compressed by the thickness of the crimping portion as compared to the low compression portion 216.
 本実施形態において、圧縮率は、高圧縮部215において50%以下とするのが好ましく、35%以下とすることがより好ましく、25%以下とすることが更に好ましく、20%以下とすることが特に好ましい。 In the present embodiment, the compression rate is preferably 50% or less in the high compression portion 215, more preferably 35% or less, further preferably 25% or less, and 20% or less. Particularly preferred.
 圧縮率を50%以下とすると、芯線212の酸化被膜を破壊することができ、これにより芯線212と端子220との接触抵抗を小さくすることが可能である。また、圧縮率を35%以下とすると、芯線212を構成する素線214の表面同士が微視的に凝着するので電気的抵抗値を小さくすることができる。更に、圧縮率を25%以下とすると、素線214同士が巨視的に凝着するので、電気的抵抗値を更に小さくすることができる。更に、圧縮率を20%以下にすると、素線214同士を確実に凝着させることができるので、電気的抵抗値を確実に小さくすることができる。 When the compression ratio is 50% or less, the oxide film of the core wire 212 can be broken, and thereby the contact resistance between the core wire 212 and the terminal 220 can be reduced. If the compression rate is 35% or less, the surfaces of the strands 214 constituting the core wire 212 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 214 adhere macroscopically, so that the electrical resistance value can be further reduced. Furthermore, when the compression ratio is 20% or less, the strands 214 can be securely adhered to each other, so that the electrical resistance value can be reliably reduced.
 一方、低圧縮部216における芯線212の圧縮率は、芯線212の切れを防止して良好な電線211(芯線212)保持力を確保するために50%よりも大きいことが好ましく、60~90%であることがより好ましく、70~80%とすることが特に好ましい。 On the other hand, the compression rate of the core wire 212 in the low compression portion 216 is preferably greater than 50% in order to prevent breakage of the core wire 212 and ensure a good holding force of the electric wire 211 (core wire 212), and is preferably 60 to 90%. Is more preferable, and 70 to 80% is particularly preferable.
 (端子付き電線210の製造方法)
 本実施形態の端子付き電線210は以下の方法により作製することができる。
 電線211の端部の絶縁被覆213を剥離除去して芯線212を露出させておく一方、金属板材にプレス加工を施して端子220と、圧着部材227を作製する。
(Manufacturing method of the electric wire 210 with a terminal)
The terminal-attached electric wire 210 of this embodiment can be manufactured by the following method.
The insulation coating 213 at the end of the electric wire 211 is peeled and removed to expose the core wire 212, while the metal plate material is pressed to produce the terminal 220 and the crimping member 227.
 図26に示す圧着部材227に電線211の端部において露出する芯線212を載置して、芯線212に圧着部材227の第1圧着片228を圧着する。第1圧着片228を圧着することにより圧着部材227が芯線212に対して位置決めされる(図23~図25を参照)。次に、図24に示すように、第1圧着片228を取り付けた電線211を端子220の上に載置する。このとき圧着部材227の第2圧着片229がワイヤーバレル221の先端よりも図23における左側(つまり端子220の接続部224側)に配されるようにする。 26. The core wire 212 exposed at the end of the electric wire 211 is placed on the crimp member 227 shown in FIG. 26, and the first crimp piece 228 of the crimp member 227 is crimped to the core wire 212. By crimping the first crimping piece 228, the crimping member 227 is positioned with respect to the core wire 212 (see FIGS. 23 to 25). Next, as shown in FIG. 24, the electric wire 211 to which the first crimping piece 228 is attached is placed on the terminal 220. At this time, the second crimping piece 229 of the crimping member 227 is arranged on the left side in FIG. 23 (that is, on the connection part 224 side of the terminal 220) from the tip of the wire barrel 221.
 次に、電線211の芯線212に、圧着部材227の第2圧着片229(押さえ部材229)および端子220のワイヤーバレル221を、かしめつけて圧着し、圧着工程と押さえ部材取付工程をほぼ同時に実行する。このとき、芯線212の、第1圧着片228により圧着された部分が、高い圧縮力を受けて芯線212が端子220の接続部224の方向に飛び出そうとするが、第2圧着片229により押さえられるので、芯線212は第2圧着片229の先端から僅かに突出するだけである。 Next, the second crimping piece 229 (pressing member 229) of the crimping member 227 and the wire barrel 221 of the terminal 220 are caulked and crimped to the core wire 212 of the electric wire 211, and the crimping process and the pressing member attaching process are executed almost simultaneously. To do. At this time, the portion of the core wire 212 crimped by the first crimping piece 228 receives a high compressive force and the core wire 212 tends to jump out in the direction of the connection portion 224 of the terminal 220. Therefore, the core wire 212 protrudes slightly from the tip of the second crimping piece 229.
 圧着工程の実行により、芯線212のうち、ワイヤーバレル221のみにより圧着された領域が低圧縮部216とされ、ワイヤーバレル221と圧着部材227とによって圧着された領域が、低圧縮部216に比べて、圧着部の厚さ寸法だけ高圧縮された高圧縮部215とされる。 By performing the crimping process, a region of the core wire 212 that is crimped only by the wire barrel 221 is the low compression portion 216, and a region that is crimped by the wire barrel 221 and the crimping member 227 is compared to the low compression portion 216. The high compression portion 215 is highly compressed by the thickness of the crimping portion.
 次に、インシュレーションバレル222を、電線211の絶縁被覆213により覆われた部分に圧着すると、本実施形態の端子付き電線210が得られる。 Next, when the insulation barrel 222 is crimped to a portion of the electric wire 211 covered with the insulating coating 213, the electric wire with terminal 210 of the present embodiment is obtained.
 (本実施形態の作用、効果)
 次に、本実施形態の作用、効果について説明する。
 本実施形態において、高圧縮部215では芯線212がワイヤーバレル221および圧着部材227により圧縮されることで、芯線212と圧着部材227が摺接して芯線212の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破壊されて金属の新生面が露出する。この新生面とワイヤーバレル221とが接触することにより芯線212と端子220との間の接触抵抗を小さくすることができる。
(Operation and effect of this embodiment)
Next, the operation and effect of this embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, the core wire 212 is compressed by the wire barrel 221 and the crimping member 227 in the high compression portion 215, so that the oxide film formed on the surface of the core wire 212 is destroyed by the sliding contact between the core wire 212 and the crimping member 227. The new surface of the metal is exposed. The contact resistance between the core wire 212 and the terminal 220 can be reduced by the contact between the new surface and the wire barrel 221.
 一方、芯線212のワイヤーバレル221のみに圧着された部分(低圧縮部216)では、高圧縮部215よりも低圧縮されているので、電線211と端子220との保持力を高めることができる。 On the other hand, since the portion (low compression portion 216) crimped only to the wire barrel 221 of the core wire 212 is compressed lower than the high compression portion 215, the holding force between the electric wire 211 and the terminal 220 can be increased.
 さらに、本実施形態においては、端子付き電線210が、圧着部材227から芯線212が飛び出すのを防止する押さえ部材229を備えるので、圧着部材227およびワイヤーバレル221が圧着されることにより芯線212に高い圧着力がかかったとしても、圧着部材227からの芯線212の飛び出しが防止される。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the terminal-attached electric wire 210 includes a pressing member 229 that prevents the core wire 212 from jumping out from the crimping member 227, the crimping member 227 and the wire barrel 221 are crimped to increase the core wire 212. Even if a crimping force is applied, the core wire 212 is prevented from protruding from the crimping member 227.
 したがって、本実施形態によれば、良好な電気的性能と芯線212の保持力とを両立し、かつ、芯線212の飛び出しを防止した端子付き電線210を提供することができる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the terminal-attached electric wire 210 that achieves both good electrical performance and holding power of the core wire 212 and prevents the core wire 212 from jumping out.
 ところで、押さえ部材229を芯線212に嵌めこんで取り付ける場合、芯線212切れが懸念される。しかしながら、本実施形態によれば、押さえ部材229は芯線212の外側から巻き付けられるように取り付けられているから、押さえ部材229を芯線212に取り付ける際に、芯線212切れを防止することができる。 By the way, when the pressing member 229 is fitted into the core wire 212 and attached, there is a concern that the core wire 212 may be cut. However, according to this embodiment, since the pressing member 229 is attached so as to be wound from the outside of the core wire 212, the core wire 212 can be prevented from being cut when the pressing member 229 is attached to the core wire 212.
 また、本実施形態によれば、押さえ部材229と圧着部材227とは一体であるから、部品点数が少なくて済む。 In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the pressing member 229 and the crimping member 227 are integrated, the number of parts can be reduced.
 さらに本実施形態によれば、第1圧着片228を芯線212に取り付けて圧着部材227を芯線212に対して位置決めしてから、第2圧着片229(押さえ部材229)の取り付けとワイヤーバレル221の圧着をほぼ同時に行うので、圧着部材227の芯線212への取付およびワイヤーバレル221の圧着を効率よく行うことができる。 Furthermore, according to this embodiment, after attaching the first crimping piece 228 to the core wire 212 and positioning the crimping member 227 with respect to the core wire 212, the second crimping piece 229 (pressing member 229) is attached and the wire barrel 221 is attached. Since the crimping is performed almost simultaneously, the crimping member 227 can be attached to the core wire 212 and the wire barrel 221 can be crimped efficiently.
 <実施形態2-2>
 次に、本発明の実施形態2-2を説明する。本発明の実施形態2-2は、実施形態2-1の端子付き電線210の製造方法の別法に関するものであるので、図27及び図28に加えて実施形態2-1の説明に用いた図22および図26を参照しつつ説明する。
 本実施形態の端子付き電線210の製造方法においては、電線211の端部において露出する芯線212に、図26に示す圧着部材227の第1圧着片228と第2圧着片229をそれぞれ圧着させて、図27に示す圧着部材227の取り付けられた電線211を作製する(押さえ部材取付工程)。このとき芯線212には図27および図28に示すように芯線212の先端部に第2圧着片229(押さえ部材229)が、芯線212の外周に巻きつけられた状態で取り付けられ、芯線212の先端よりも絶縁被覆213寄りのところに第1圧着片228(圧着部材227)が芯線212の外周に巻き付けられた状態で取り付けられる。
<Embodiment 2-2>
Next, Embodiment 2-2 of the present invention will be described. Embodiment 2-2 of the present invention relates to another method of manufacturing the terminal-attached electric wire 210 of Embodiment 2-1, and was used in the description of Embodiment 2-1 in addition to FIGS. 27 and 28. This will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the method of manufacturing the terminal-attached electric wire 210 of the present embodiment, the first crimping piece 228 and the second crimping piece 229 of the crimping member 227 shown in FIG. 26 are respectively crimped to the core wire 212 exposed at the end of the electric wire 211. 27, the electric wire 211 to which the crimping member 227 shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the second crimping piece 229 (pressing member 229) is attached to the core wire 212 in a state of being wound around the outer periphery of the core wire 212. The first crimping piece 228 (crimping member 227) is attached in a state where it is wound around the outer periphery of the core wire 212 near the insulating coating 213 from the tip.
 次に、第2圧着片229および第1圧着片228が取り付けられた芯線212を、第2圧着片229がワイヤーバレル221の端縁よりも端子220の接続部224寄りに配されるように載置して、ワイヤーバレル221を芯線212にかしめつけて圧着する(圧着工程)。 Next, the core wire 212 to which the second crimping piece 229 and the first crimping piece 228 are attached is placed so that the second crimping piece 229 is arranged closer to the connection part 224 of the terminal 220 than the edge of the wire barrel 221. The wire barrel 221 is crimped to the core wire 212 and crimped (crimping step).
 圧着工程を実行する際には、ワイヤーバレル221に載置した電線211が所定位置からずれないように、電線211の先端につきあて部材を配しておくのが好ましい。このとき、ワイヤーバレル221および第1圧着片228が圧着された部分では、高い圧縮力を受けて芯線212が端子220の接続部224方向に飛び出そうとするが、第2圧着片229により押さえられた状態でワイヤーバレル221が圧着されるので、芯線212は第2圧着片229の先端から僅かに突出するだけである。 When performing the crimping process, it is preferable to place a contact member on the tip of the electric wire 211 so that the electric wire 211 placed on the wire barrel 221 does not deviate from a predetermined position. At this time, in the portion where the wire barrel 221 and the first crimping piece 228 are crimped, the core wire 212 tends to jump out in the direction of the connecting portion 224 of the terminal 220 by receiving a high compressive force, but is pressed by the second crimping piece 229. Since the wire barrel 221 is crimped in this state, the core wire 212 protrudes slightly from the tip of the second crimping piece 229.
 圧着工程の実行により、芯線212のうち、ワイヤーバレル221のみにより圧着された領域が低圧縮部216とされ、ワイヤーバレル221と圧着部材227とによって圧着された領域が、低圧縮部216に比べて、圧着部の厚さ寸法だけ高圧縮された高圧縮部215とされる。 By performing the crimping process, a region of the core wire 212 that is crimped only by the wire barrel 221 is the low compression portion 216, and a region that is crimped by the wire barrel 221 and the crimping member 227 is compared to the low compression portion 216. The high compression portion 215 is highly compressed by the thickness of the crimping portion.
 次に、インシュレーションバレル222を、電線211の絶縁被覆213により覆われた部分に圧着すると、本実施形態によっても実施形態2-1と同様に、図22に示す端子付き電線210が得られる。 Next, when the insulation barrel 222 is pressure-bonded to a portion of the electric wire 211 covered with the insulating coating 213, the electric wire with terminal 210 shown in FIG. 22 is obtained in the present embodiment as in the case of the embodiment 2-1.
 本実施形態によれば、圧着部材227を取り付けた芯線212の上下方向の向きが図22に示す向きと逆であっていても、ワイヤーバレル221の圧着が可能である。 According to this embodiment, the wire barrel 221 can be crimped even if the vertical direction of the core wire 212 to which the crimping member 227 is attached is opposite to the orientation shown in FIG.
 <実施形態2-3>
 本発明の実施形態2-3を、図29ないし図32によって説明する。本実施形態の端子付き電線230は、図29に示すように、電線211と、この電線211の端部において露出する芯線212(露出芯線212ともいう)に圧着された圧着部材237と、圧着部材237とともに露出芯線212に圧着される端子220と、を備える。
<Embodiment 2-3>
Embodiment 2-3 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 to 32. FIG. As shown in FIG. 29, the terminal-attached electric wire 230 of the present embodiment includes an electric wire 211, a crimping member 237 crimped to a core wire 212 (also referred to as an exposed core wire 212) exposed at the end of the electric wire 211, and a crimping member. 237 and a terminal 220 that is crimped to the exposed core wire 212.
 本実施形態の端子付き電線230は圧着部材237の形状が実施形態2-1と相違する。以下の説明において、実施形態2-1と同様の構成については同じ符号を付し、重複した説明は省略する。 The terminal-attached electric wire 230 of the present embodiment is different from the embodiment 2-1 in the shape of the crimping member 237. In the following description, the same components as those in Embodiment 2-1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
 本実施形態において、圧着部材237は図31および図32に示すように、一対の圧着片238と、圧着片238と間隔をあけて一体的に形成されるとともにギリシャ文字の大文字のオメガ状をなす押さえ片239(押さえ部材)と、を有している。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the crimping member 237 is formed integrally with a pair of crimping pieces 238 and a crimping piece 238 at an interval, and has a Greek letter capital omega shape. And a pressing piece 239 (pressing member).
 圧着片238は、図29に示すように、露出芯線212の外周に巻きつけられるように圧着されるとともに、その外周には端子220のワイヤーバレル221が巻きつくように圧着されるようになっている。つまり、圧着片238は、ワイヤーバレル221とともに芯線212に圧着されて、ワイヤーバレル221のみが圧着される部分よりも芯線212を高い圧縮力で圧縮する機能を有する。圧着片238は実施形態2-1の第1圧着片228と同様の形状である。 As shown in FIG. 29, the crimping piece 238 is crimped so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the exposed core wire 212, and is crimped so that the wire barrel 221 of the terminal 220 is wound around the outer periphery thereof. Yes. That is, the crimping piece 238 has a function of being crimped to the core wire 212 together with the wire barrel 221 and compressing the core wire 212 with a higher compressive force than a portion to which only the wire barrel 221 is crimped. The crimping piece 238 has the same shape as the first crimping piece 228 of the embodiment 2-1.
 一方、押さえ片239は、図29に示すように、圧着片238よりも、露出芯線212の先端寄りにおいて、露出芯線212の上を覆うとともに、芯線212を上から押さえつけるように取り付けられている。また押さえ片239は、ワイヤーバレル221の端縁よりも芯線212の先端寄りに配されている。押さえ片239は、圧着部材237から芯線212が飛び出すのを防止する機能を有する(押さえ部材の一例)。つまり、本実施形態の押さえ部材239も、圧着部材237と一体である。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 29, the pressing piece 239 is attached so as to cover the exposed core wire 212 and press the core wire 212 from above, closer to the tip of the exposed core wire 212 than the crimping piece 238. The holding piece 239 is arranged closer to the tip end of the core wire 212 than the end edge of the wire barrel 221. The pressing piece 239 has a function of preventing the core wire 212 from jumping out from the crimping member 237 (an example of a pressing member). That is, the pressing member 239 of this embodiment is also integral with the crimping member 237.
 本実施形態の端子付き電線230は以下の方法により作製することができる。圧着部材237に電線211の端部において露出する芯線212を載置して、芯線212に一対の圧着片238を圧着する。一対の圧着片238を圧着することにより圧着部材237が芯線212に対して位置決めされる(図31および図32を参照)。 The electric wire with terminal 230 of the present embodiment can be manufactured by the following method. The core wire 212 exposed at the end of the electric wire 211 is placed on the crimp member 237, and a pair of crimp pieces 238 are crimped to the core wire 212. The crimping member 237 is positioned with respect to the core wire 212 by crimping the pair of crimping pieces 238 (see FIGS. 31 and 32).
 次に、図30に示すように、電線211の向きを押さえ片239が上側に配されるようにして端子220の上に載置する。このとき押さえ片239がワイヤーバレル221の先端よりも図29における左側(つまり端子220の接続部224側)に配されるようにする。 Next, as shown in FIG. 30, the direction of the electric wire 211 is placed on the terminal 220 so that the pressing piece 239 is arranged on the upper side. At this time, the holding piece 239 is arranged on the left side in FIG. 29 (that is, on the connection part 224 side of the terminal 220) from the tip of the wire barrel 221.
 次に、電線211の芯線212に、端子220のワイヤーバレル221を、かしめつけて圧着し、圧着工程を実行する。このとき、圧着片238の圧着された部分が高い圧縮力を受けて芯線212が端子220の接続部224方向に飛び出そうとするが、押さえ片239と押さえ片239と対向する位置に配されている端子面223とにより押さえられて、芯線212は押さえ片239の先端から僅かに突出するだけである。 Next, the wire barrel 221 of the terminal 220 is caulked and crimped to the core wire 212 of the electric wire 211, and the crimping process is executed. At this time, the crimped portion of the crimping piece 238 receives a high compressive force, and the core wire 212 tends to jump out in the direction of the connecting portion 224 of the terminal 220. However, the core piece 212 is arranged at a position facing the holding piece 239 and the holding piece 239. The core wire 212 is slightly protruded from the tip of the pressing piece 239 by being pressed by the terminal surface 223 that is present.
 圧着工程の実行により、芯線212のうち、ワイヤーバレル221のみにより圧着された領域が低圧縮部216とされ、ワイヤーバレル221と圧着部材237とによって圧着された領域が、低圧縮部216に比べて、圧着部の厚さ寸法だけ高圧縮された高圧縮部15とされる。 By performing the crimping process, a region of the core wire 212 that is crimped only by the wire barrel 221 is the low compression portion 216, and a region that is crimped by the wire barrel 221 and the crimping member 237 is compared to the low compression portion 216. The high compression portion 15 is highly compressed by the thickness dimension of the crimping portion.
 次に、インシュレーションバレル222を、電線211の絶縁被覆213により覆われた部分に圧着すると、本実施形態の端子付き電線230が得られる。 Next, when the insulation barrel 222 is crimped to a portion covered with the insulating coating 213 of the electric wire 211, the electric wire with terminal 230 of the present embodiment is obtained.
 以下、本実施形態の作用・効果を説明する。本実施形態においては、圧着片238を取り付けた状態の芯線212にワイヤーバレル221を圧着することにより押さえ片239が、芯線212に押しつけられるとともに、この押さえ片239と押さえ片239に対向する位置にある端子面223とにより芯線212が挟持されて圧着部材237からの芯線212の飛び出しが防止される。したがって、本実施形態によれば、圧着部材237およびワイヤーバレル221が圧着されることにより芯線212に高い圧着力がかかったとしても圧着部材237からの芯線212の飛び出しが防止される。 Hereinafter, functions and effects of this embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the pressing piece 239 is pressed against the core wire 212 by crimping the wire barrel 221 to the core wire 212 with the crimping piece 238 attached, and at a position facing the pressing piece 239 and the pressing piece 239. The core wire 212 is clamped by a certain terminal surface 223 to prevent the core wire 212 from protruding from the crimping member 237. Therefore, according to this embodiment, even if a high crimping force is applied to the core wire 212 due to the crimping of the crimp member 237 and the wire barrel 221, the core wire 212 is prevented from jumping out from the crimp member 237.
 したがって、本実施形態によっても実施形態2-1と同様に、良好な電気的性能と芯線212の保持力とを両立し、かつ、芯線212の飛び出しを防止した端子付き電線230を提供することができる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment as well as the embodiment 2-1, it is possible to provide the electric wire with terminal 230 that achieves both good electrical performance and holding power of the core wire 212 and prevents the core wire 212 from protruding. it can.
 また、本実施形態によれば、押さえ片239は芯線212の上側から押さえ付けるように取り付けられているから、取り付けの際に芯線212切れを防止することができる。その他の点については実施形態2-1と概ね同様であるので、本実施形態によれば、実施形態2-1と同様の効果が得られる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, since the pressing piece 239 is attached so as to be pressed from the upper side of the core wire 212, it is possible to prevent the core wire 212 from being cut at the time of attachment. Since the other points are substantially the same as those of the embodiment 2-1, the present embodiment can provide the same effects as those of the embodiment 2-1.

(Means for solving the problem)
The technology disclosed in this specification includes an electric wire formed by covering a core wire with an insulating coating, and a crimping member that is crimped so as to be wound from the outside around the core wire exposed by peeling off the insulating coating at an end portion of the electric wire. And a terminal having a wire barrel crimped to the core wire and the crimping member 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 of the core wire that is crimped only to the wire barrel is a low compression portion that is compressed lower than the high compression portion, and is attached to the core wire, and the core wire pops out from the crimping member. It is an electric wire with a terminal provided with the pressing member which prevents.
 また、本明細書に開示された技術は、芯線を絶縁被覆により被覆してなる電線と、前記電線の端部において前記絶縁被覆の剥離により露出する前記芯線に外側から巻き付けられるように圧着された圧着部材と、前記芯線及び前記圧着部材に外側から圧着されたワイヤーバレルを有する端子と、を備える端子付き電線の製造方法であって、前記芯線の端部に、前記圧着部材から前記芯線が飛び出すのを防止する押さえ部材を取り付ける押さえ部材取付工程を経た後、前記ワイヤーバレルを、前記芯線および前記圧着部材に圧着することにより、前記芯線のうち前記圧着部材が巻き付けられた状態で前記ワイヤーバレルに圧着された部分を高圧縮部とし、前記芯線のうち前記ワイヤーバレルのみに圧着された部分を前記高圧縮部よりも低圧縮された低圧縮部とする圧着工程を実行する端子付き電線の製造方法である。 In addition, the technique disclosed in this specification is pressure-bonded so as to be wound from the outside around an electric wire obtained by coating a core wire with an insulating coating and an end portion of the electric wire exposed by peeling off the insulating coating. A method of manufacturing an electric wire with a terminal comprising: a crimping member; and a terminal having a wire barrel crimped to the core wire and the crimping member from the outside, wherein the core wire protrudes from the crimping member to an end portion of the core wire. After the pressing member mounting step for mounting the pressing member to prevent the wire barrel, the wire barrel is crimped to the core wire and the crimping member, so that the crimping member of the core wire is wound around the wire barrel. The crimped portion is a high compression portion, and the portion of the core wire that is crimped only to the wire barrel is compressed lower than the high compression portion. And a method of manufacturing an electric wire with terminal to perform a crimping step of the low compression portion.
 本明細書に開示された技術において、高圧縮部では芯線がワイヤーバレルおよび圧着部材により圧縮されることで、芯線と圧着部材が摺接して芯線の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破壊されて金属の新生面が露出する。この新生面とワイヤーバレルとが接触することにより芯線と端子との間の接触抵抗を小さくすることができる。 In the technique disclosed in the present specification, in the high compression portion, the core wire is compressed by the wire barrel and the crimping member, so that the oxide film formed on the surface of the core wire is broken by the sliding contact between the core wire and the crimping member. The new surface is exposed. Contact resistance between the core wire and the terminal can be reduced by contacting the new surface and the wire barrel.
 一方、ワイヤーバレルのみに圧着された部分(低圧縮部)では、高圧縮部よりも低圧縮されているので、電線と端子との保持力を高めることができる。 On the other hand, since the portion (low compression portion) crimped only to the wire barrel is compressed lower than the high compression portion, the holding force between the electric wire and the terminal can be increased.
 さらに本明細書に開示された技術において、端子付き電線は、圧着部材から芯線が飛び出すのを防止する押さえ部材を備えるので、圧着部材およびワイヤーバレルが圧着されることにより芯線に高い圧着力がかかったとしても、圧着部材からの芯線の飛び出しが防止される。 Furthermore, in the technique disclosed in this specification, since the electric wire with terminal includes a pressing member that prevents the core wire from jumping out from the crimping member, a high crimping force is applied to the core wire by crimping the crimping member and the wire barrel. Even so, the core wire is prevented from popping out from the crimping member.
 従って、本明細書に開示された技術によれば、良好な電気的性能と芯線の保持力とを両立し、かつ、芯線の飛び出しを防止した端子付き電線を提供することができる。 Therefore, according to the technology disclosed in the present specification, it is possible to provide an electric wire with a terminal that achieves both good electrical performance and holding power of the core wire and prevents the core wire from popping out.

(The invention's effect)
According to the technique disclosed in this specification, it is possible to provide a terminal-attached electric wire that achieves both good electrical performance and core wire holding force and prevents the core wire from popping out.
 <実施形態3-1>
 従来、端子付き電線として特開2010-62097号公報に記載されているものが知られている。この端子付き電線においては、電線の端部から露出する芯線に、端子に形成されたワイヤーバレルを外側から巻き付けるように圧着することにより、電線と端子とが電気的に接続される。
<Embodiment 3-1>
Conventionally, an electric wire with a terminal described in JP 2010-62097 A is known. In this electric wire with terminal, the electric wire and the terminal are electrically connected to each other by crimping the wire barrel formed on the terminal around the core wire exposed from the end of the electric wire so as to be wound from the outside.
 しかしながら、端子付き電線において、芯線の表面に酸化被膜が形成されると、芯線と端子との電気抵抗が大きくなることが懸念される。電気抵抗を小さくするためには、芯線に対して高い圧力でワイヤーバレルを巻き付けることにより、芯線の表面の酸化被膜を破壊することが考えられる。その結果、芯線の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破れて芯線の新生面が露出し、新生面と端子とが接触することにより、電気抵抗が小さくなることが期待された。 However, in an electric wire with a terminal, 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 broken to expose the new surface of the core wire, and it was expected that the electric resistance would be reduced by the contact between the new surface and the terminal.
 しかしながら上記の手法によると、芯線の断面積が大きく減少するため、機械的強度、特に衝撃的な荷重に対する引張強度(より具体的には圧着端子が電線を保持する強度)が低下する。また、芯線に高い圧力でワイヤーバレルを巻きつけることにより、芯線が伸びて断線しやすくなるという問題がある。 However, according to the above method, since the cross-sectional area of the core wire is greatly reduced, the mechanical strength, in particular, the tensile strength against an impact load (more specifically, the strength at which the crimp terminal holds the electric wire) is lowered. Moreover, there exists a problem that a core wire is extended and it becomes easy to break by winding a wire barrel with a high pressure around a core wire.
 このような問題を解決するために、上記構成においては、ワイヤーバレルの端部に電線の軸方向に伸びる延出片を形成して、これをワイヤーバレルの芯線の接触面に折り返す技術が提案されている。 In order to solve such a problem, in the above configuration, a technique is proposed in which an extension piece extending in the axial direction of the electric wire is formed at the end of the wire barrel, and this is folded back to the contact surface of the core wire of the wire barrel. ing.
 上記構成によれば、ワイヤーバレルの芯線に対する圧縮率に差を与えて、端子付き電線の機械的強度を確保しつつ電線と端子との電気抵抗を小さくすることができる。 According to the above configuration, it is possible to reduce the electrical resistance between the electric wire and the terminal while ensuring the mechanical strength of the electric wire with terminal by giving a difference in the compressibility with respect to the core wire of the wire barrel.
 しかしながら、上記構成によれば、芯線のうち、ワイヤーバレルの接続部側の端部に配される部分には、高い圧縮力でワイヤーバレルの接続部側の端部が押しつけられるため、芯線が伸びて接続部側に飛び出すとともに伸びた芯線が切れる断線が生じやすくなるという問題があった。 However, according to the above configuration, the core wire is stretched because the end portion on the connection portion side of the wire barrel is pressed with a high compressive force on the portion of the core wire that is disposed on the end portion on the connection portion side of the wire barrel. As a result, there is a problem that disconnection is likely to occur as the core wire that protrudes to the connection portion is cut off.
 本明細書に開示された技術は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、良好な電気的性能と芯線の保持力とを両立し、かつ、断線を防止した端子付き電線を提供することを目的とする。 The technology disclosed in the present specification has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and has a terminal-attached electric wire that achieves both good electrical performance and core wire retention and prevents disconnection. The purpose is to provide.

A connection portion 324 connected to the counterpart member.
 接続部324は板状をなしており、図示しないボルトが挿通される挿通孔325が板厚方向に貫通して形成されている。 The connecting portion 324 has a plate shape, and an insertion hole 325 through which a bolt (not shown) is inserted is formed to penetrate in the plate thickness direction.
 また、ワイヤーバレル321および底板323には、芯線312が載置される側の面に、電線311の軸方向と直交する方向に延びる複数の凹部326が、電線311の軸方向に間隔を空けて並んで形成されている。 In addition, the wire barrel 321 and the bottom plate 323 have a plurality of recesses 326 extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the electric wire 311 on the surface on which the core wire 312 is placed, spaced apart in the axial direction of the electric wire 311. It is formed side by side.
 (中子327)
 本実施形態においては、このような従来型の端子320に、中子327を組み合わせる。中子327は、図37に示すように、端子320と同種類の細長い金属板を、芯線312に圧着前の底板323および一対のワイヤーバレル321,321にぴったり重なる角度に折り曲げたものである。中子327の長さは、一方のワイヤーバレル321の先端部321Cから他方のワイヤーバレル321の先端321Cまでの長さ寸法より若干短く形成されているとともに、その幅は、ワイヤーバレル321の(軸方向における)2つの端部321A,321B間の長さの約1/2に設定されている。
(Core 327)
In this embodiment, a core 327 is combined with such a conventional terminal 320. As shown in FIG. 37, the core 327 is formed by bending an elongated metal plate of the same type as the terminal 320 at an angle that exactly overlaps the core plate 312 with the bottom plate 323 and the pair of wire barrels 321 and 321 before being crimped. The length of the core 327 is slightly shorter than the length dimension from the tip 321C of one wire barrel 321 to the tip 321C of the other wire barrel 321, and the width of the core 327 is the (axis of the wire barrel 321). It is set to about ½ of the length between the two ends 321A and 321B (in the direction).
 さて、中子327は、接続部側の端部327A(図34における左側の端部327A)が、ワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321Aと間隔をあけて配置されるとともに、その全体がワイヤーバレル321に重ねられている。 Now, the core 327 is arranged such that the end 327A on the connection part side (the end 327A on the left side in FIG. 34) is spaced from the end 321A on the connection part side of the wire barrel 321, and the whole Overlaid on the wire barrel 321.
 中子327の位置は、ワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321Aから中子327の接続部側の端部327Aまでの距離Xが、中子327の接続部とは反対側の端部327Bからワイヤーバレル321の接続部とは反対側の端部321Bまでの距離Y以下となるように設定されている。 The position of the core 327 is such that the distance X from the end 321A on the connection part side of the wire barrel 321 to the end 327A on the connection part side of the core 327 is the end 327B on the opposite side to the connection part of the core 327. The distance Y is set to be equal to or less than the distance Y from the connection portion of the wire barrel 321 to the end portion 321B on the opposite side.
 中子327はワイヤーバレル321に重ねられることで、ワイヤーバレル321の厚み寸法を他の部分よりも大きくする(図34を参照)。そして、芯線312のうち、ワイヤーバレル321の中子327が重ねられた領域が圧着された部分には、図35に示すように、他の部分よりも高圧縮される高圧縮部315が形成される。一方、芯線312のうち、高圧縮部315を挟んで両側には、ワイヤーバレル321のみが圧着されることで、高圧縮部315よりも低圧縮された低圧縮部316A,316Bがそれぞれ形成されている(図36を参照)。 The core 327 is overlapped with the wire barrel 321 so that the thickness dimension of the wire barrel 321 is larger than that of other portions (see FIG. 34). In the core wire 312, a portion where the core 327 of the wire barrel 321 is overlapped is formed with a high compression portion 315 that is more highly compressed than other portions, as shown in FIG. 35. The On the other hand, only the wire barrel 321 is crimped on both sides of the core wire 312 with the high compression portion 315 interposed therebetween, thereby forming low compression portions 316A and 316B that are compressed lower than the high compression portion 315, respectively. (See FIG. 36).
 ここで、圧縮率は、{(圧縮後の導体の断面積)/(圧縮前の導体の断面積)}×100(%)で定義される。低圧縮とは、圧縮率が大きい値を示すことを意味し、高圧縮とは、圧縮率が小さい値を示すことを意味する。 Here, the compression ratio is defined by {(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.
 中子327の接続部側の辺の角部は面取りされていて傾斜面327Cとなっており、中子327の接続部とは反対側の辺の角部も面取りされていて傾斜面327Dとなっている。これにより中子327により生じる段差に起因する芯線312の断線を防止することができる。 The corners on the side of the connecting portion side of the core 327 are chamfered to form an inclined surface 327C, and the corners on the side opposite to the connecting portion of the core 327 are also chamfered to form an inclined surface 327D. ing. Thereby, disconnection of the core wire 312 resulting from the level | step difference produced by the core 327 can be prevented.
 (端子付き電線310の製造方法)
 次に、本実施形態の端子付き電線310の製造方法について説明する。まず、図37に示すように、中子327の全体を端子320の一対のワイヤーバレル321,321および一対のワイヤーバレル321,321間の底板323に重ね合わせる。このときの中子327の位置は、その接続部側の端部327Aを、ワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321Aよりも図37における右側にずらした位置とする。これにより中子327の接続部側の端部327Aと、ワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321Aの間には間隔があく(図37を参照)。
(Manufacturing method of the electric wire 310 with a terminal)
Next, the manufacturing method of the electric wire 310 with a terminal of this embodiment is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 37, the entire core 327 is overlaid on the pair of wire barrels 321 and 321 of the terminal 320 and the bottom plate 323 between the pair of wire barrels 321 and 321. The position of the core 327 at this time is set such that the end 327A on the connection portion side is shifted to the right in FIG. 37 with respect to the end 321A on the connection portion side of the wire barrel 321. Thereby, there is a gap between the end portion 327A on the connection portion side of the core 327 and the end portion 321A on the connection portion side of the wire barrel 321 (see FIG. 37).
 次に、中子327が端子320に対して動かないように、レーザーを照射してピンポイント溶接を行い取り付ける(取付工程)。 Next, the laser beam is irradiated so that the core 327 does not move with respect to the terminal 320, and pinpoint welding is performed (attachment process).
 次に、電線311の端部から露出された露出芯線312を端子320の底板323上に載置し、図示しない圧着装置を用いて、ワイヤーバレル321を芯線312に圧着する。これにより、一対のワイヤーバレル321,321および中子327は芯線312に巻き付くように湾曲され、圧着される。 Next, the exposed core wire 312 exposed from the end of the electric wire 311 is placed on the bottom plate 323 of the terminal 320, and the wire barrel 321 is crimped to the core wire 312 using a crimping device (not shown). Accordingly, the pair of wire barrels 321 and 321 and the core 327 are curved and crimped so as to be wound around the core wire 312.
 この時、一対のワイヤーバレル321,321の一部には予め中子327が重ねられた状態とされているから、芯線312はワイヤーバレル321の位置によりその圧縮率が異なった状態とされる。すなわち、ワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321A寄りの領域では、図2に示すように、芯線312はワイヤーバレル321のみによりその周囲を圧縮されているので低圧縮な状態とされている(低圧縮部316Aとする)。 At this time, since the core 327 is preliminarily overlaid on a part of the pair of wire barrels 321 and 321, the core wire 312 is in a state where the compression rate differs depending on the position of the wire barrel 321. That is, in the region near the end 321A on the connection portion side of the wire barrel 321, the core wire 312 is compressed only by the wire barrel 321, as shown in FIG. Low compression section 316A).
 低圧縮部316Aの図34における右側に隣接する領域では、芯線312はワイヤーバレル321および中子327によりその周囲を圧縮されているので、高圧縮な状態とされている(高圧縮部315とする)。 In the region adjacent to the right side in FIG. 34 of the low compression portion 316A, the core wire 312 is compressed around the wire barrel 321 and the core 327, and thus is in a high compression state (referred to as a high compression portion 315). ).
 高圧縮部315の図34における右側に隣接する領域では、芯線312はワイヤーバレル321のみによりその周囲を圧縮されているので、低圧縮な状態とされている(低圧縮部316Bとする)。 In the region adjacent to the right side in FIG. 34 of the high compression portion 315, the core wire 312 is compressed around the wire barrel 321 alone, and thus is in a low compression state (referred to as a low compression portion 316B).
 高圧縮部315における芯線312の圧縮率は、芯線312の表面の酸化皮膜を破壊して電気抵抗が小さく良好な電気的性能を確保するために50%以下とすることが好ましく、35%以下とすることがより好ましく、25%以下とすることが更に好ましく、20%以下とすることが特に好ましい。 The compression rate of the core wire 312 in the high compression portion 315 is preferably 50% or less, and is preferably 35% or less in order to destroy the oxide film on the surface of the core wire 312 and ensure good electrical performance with low electrical resistance. More preferably, it is more preferably 25% or less, and particularly preferably 20% or less.
 圧縮率を50%以下とすることで芯線312の酸化被膜を破壊することができる。これにより、芯線312と端子320との電気抵抗値を小さくすることができる。また、圧縮率を35%以下とすると、芯線312を構成する素線314の表面同士が微視的に凝着するので電気的抵抗値を小さくすることができる。更に、圧縮率を25%以下とすると、素線314同士が巨視的に凝着するので、電気的抵抗値を更に小さくすることができる。更に、圧縮率を20%以下にすると、素線314同士を確実に凝着させることができるので、電気的抵抗値を確実に小さくすることができる。 When the compression ratio is 50% or less, the oxide film of the core wire 312 can be broken. Thereby, the electrical resistance value of the core wire 312 and the terminal 320 can be made small. If the compression rate is 35% or less, the surfaces of the strands 314 constituting the core wire 312 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 strands 314 adhere macroscopically, so that the electrical resistance value can be further reduced. Furthermore, when the compression ratio is 20% or less, the strands 314 can be reliably adhered to each other, so that the electrical resistance value can be reliably reduced.
 また、低圧縮部316A,316Bにおける芯線312の圧縮率は、芯線312の切れを防止して良好な電線311(芯線312)保持力を確保するために50%よりも大きいことが好ましく、60~90%であることがより好ましく、70~80%とすることが特に好ましい。 In addition, the compression rate of the core wire 312 in the low compression portions 316A and 316B is preferably larger than 50% in order to prevent the core wire 312 from being cut and to secure a good electric wire 311 (core wire 312) holding force. It is more preferably 90%, and particularly preferably 70 to 80%.
 本実施形態において、中子327の長さは一方のワイヤーバレル321の先端部321Cから他方のワイヤーバレル321の先端321Cまでの長さ寸法よりも若干短く設定してあるので、一対のワイヤーバレル321,321の各先端部321C,321Cの付き合わせ部分はしっかり圧着され、開き難くされている。換言すると、一対のワイヤーバレル321,321を芯線312に巻き付けるように圧着した場合に、一対のワイヤーバレル321,321の各先端部321C,321Cの付き合わせ部分をもたつかせることなくすっきりさせ、開き難くすることができるのである。 In the present embodiment, the length of the core 327 is set slightly shorter than the length dimension from the tip 321C of one wire barrel 321 to the tip 321C of the other wire barrel 321. , 321 of the tip portions 321C, 321C are firmly crimped and difficult to open. In other words, when the pair of wire barrels 321 and 321 are crimped so as to be wound around the core wire 312, the tip ends 321 </ b> C and 321 </ b> C of the pair of wire barrels 321 and 321 are not neatly held and difficult to open. It can be done.
 インシュレーションバレルを322を電線311の絶縁被覆313により覆われた部分に圧着すると本実施形態の端子付き電線310が得られる。 When the insulation barrel 322 is crimped to the portion covered with the insulating coating 313 of the electric wire 311, the terminal-attached electric wire 310 of this embodiment is obtained.
 (本実施形態の作用および効果)
 本実施形態において、中子327はその接続部側の端部327Aが、ワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321Aと間隔をあけて配置され、その全体がワイヤーバレル321に重ねられた状態でワイヤーバレル321とともに芯線312に圧着されるので、芯線312のワイヤーバレル321が圧着される部分には、高圧縮部315を挟んで両側に低圧縮部316A,316Bがそれぞれ形成される。
(Operation and effect of this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the core 327 is arranged in such a manner that the end 327A on the connection part side is arranged at a distance from the end 321A on the connection part side of the wire barrel 321, and the entire part is superimposed on the wire barrel 321. Since it is crimped to the core wire 312 together with the wire barrel 321, low compression portions 316 </ b> A and 316 </ b> B are formed on both sides of the high compression portion 315 in the portion where the wire barrel 321 of the core wire 312 is crimped.
 本実施形態において、高圧縮部315では芯線312がワイヤーバレル321および中子327により圧縮されることで、芯線312と中子327が摺接して芯線312の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破壊されて金属の新生面が露出する。この新生面とワイヤーバレル321とが接触することにより芯線312と端子320との間の接触抵抗を小さくすることができる。 In the present embodiment, the core wire 312 is compressed by the wire barrel 321 and the core 327 in the high compression portion 315, so that the oxide film formed on the surface of the core wire 312 is destroyed by the sliding contact between the core wire 312 and the core 327. The new surface of the metal is exposed. The contact resistance between the core wire 312 and the terminal 320 can be reduced by the contact between the new surface and the wire barrel 321.
 一方、ワイヤーバレル321のみに圧着された低圧縮部316A,316Bでは高圧縮部315よりも低圧縮されている。2つの低圧縮部316A,316Bのうち、接続部とは反対側の低圧縮部316Bでは、低圧縮されていることにより電線311(芯線312)と端子320との保持力を高めることができる。接続部側の低圧縮部316Aは、ワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321Aに形成されていることとなり、本実施形態においては、最も芯線312切れの起こりやすいワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321Aにおいて圧縮力が小さくなっているので、芯線312の断線が防止される。 On the other hand, the low compression portions 316A and 316B that are crimped only to the wire barrel 321 are compressed lower than the high compression portion 315. Of the two low compression portions 316A and 316B, the low compression portion 316B opposite to the connection portion can increase the holding force between the electric wire 311 (core wire 312) and the terminal 320 due to low compression. The low compression portion 316A on the connection portion side is formed at the end portion 321A on the connection portion side of the wire barrel 321, and in the present embodiment, the connection portion side of the wire barrel 321 that is most likely to break the core wire 312 is formed. Since the compressive force is small at the end 321A, disconnection of the core wire 312 is prevented.
 以上より、本実施形態によれば、良好な電気的性能と芯線312の保持力とを両立し、かつ、芯線312の断線を防止した端子付き電線310を提供することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the terminal-attached electric wire 310 that achieves both good electrical performance and the holding force of the core wire 312 and prevents the core wire 312 from being disconnected.
 ところで、中子327を、ワイヤーバレル321に取り付けずに、ワイヤーバレル321に載置した状態で芯線312に圧着すると、中子327の位置ずれが懸念されるが、本実施形態の製造方法によれば、先に中子327をワイヤーバレル321に取り付けておくので、位置ずれの問題は生じにくい。 By the way, if the core 327 is pressure-bonded to the core wire 312 while being mounted on the wire barrel 321 without being attached to the wire barrel 321, there is a concern about the displacement of the core 327, but according to the manufacturing method of the present embodiment. For example, since the core 327 is attached to the wire barrel 321 first, the problem of misalignment hardly occurs.
 ところで、本実施形態においては、接続部側の低圧縮部316Aは、芯線312の飛び出しや芯線312切れを防止する機能を有する一方、接続部とは反対側の低圧縮部316Bは電線311(芯線312)と端子320とを保持する機能を有する。つまり、本実施形態においては、接続部とは反対側の低圧縮部316Bの方が、接続部側の低圧縮部316Aよりも大きな保持力が必要である。本実施形態によれば、ワイヤーバレル321の接続部側の端部321Aから中子327の接続部側の端部327Aまでの距離Xは、中子327の接続部とは反対側の端部327Bからワイヤーバレル321の接続部とは反対側の端部321Bまでの距離Y以下であるから、接続部とは反対側の低圧縮部316Bにおいて、接続部側の低圧縮部316Aよりも保持力を大きくすることができる。 By the way, in the present embodiment, the low compression portion 316A on the connection portion side has a function of preventing the core wire 312 from popping out and the core wire 312 being cut off, while the low compression portion 316B on the opposite side to the connection portion is the electric wire 311 (core wire 312) and the terminal 320. That is, in the present embodiment, the low compression portion 316B on the side opposite to the connection portion requires a larger holding force than the low compression portion 316A on the connection portion side. According to the present embodiment, the distance X from the end 321A on the connection part side of the wire barrel 321 to the end 327A on the connection part side of the core 327 is the end 327B on the opposite side to the connection part of the core 327. Is less than or equal to the distance Y from the connection part of the wire barrel 321 to the end part 321B on the side opposite to the connection part, in the low compression part 316B on the opposite side to the connection part, the holding force is higher than the low compression part 316A on the connection part side. Can be bigger.
 また、本実施形態によれば、中子327の接続部側の辺の角部および接続部とは反対側の辺の角部はともに面取りされて傾斜面327C,327Dとなっているから、中子327により生じる段差に起因する芯線312の断線を防止することができる。 In addition, according to the present embodiment, the corner portion of the side on the connecting portion side of the core 327 and the corner portion on the side opposite to the connecting portion are both chamfered to form inclined surfaces 327C and 327D. The disconnection of the core wire 312 due to the level difference caused by the child 327 can be prevented.

 また、本明細書に開示された技術は、芯線を絶縁被覆により被覆してなる電線と、前記電線の端部において前記絶縁被覆の剥離により露出する前記芯線に圧着された端子と、を備える端子付き電線の製造方法であって、前記端子は、前記露出する芯線が載置される底板と、前記底板の両側部から側方へ延出されるとともに前記底板に載置された前記芯線に巻きつくように圧着される一対のワイヤーバレルと、前記底板の一端部からその長さ方向に延設されて相手方端子に接続される接続部と、前記ワイヤーバレルに重ねられることで、前記ワイヤーバレルの厚み寸法を他の部分よりも大きくする中子と、を有し、前記ワイヤーバレルに、前記中子を、その前記接続部側の端部を前記ワイヤーバレルの前記接続部側の端部との間に間隔をあけて配置するとともに、前記中子全体が前記ワイヤーバレルに重なるように取り付ける取付工程を経た後、前記芯線を前記底板に載置して前記ワイヤーバレルを圧着することにより、前記芯線のうち前記ワイヤーバレルの前記中子が重ねられた領域が圧着された部分に高圧縮部を形成するとともに、前記芯線のうち前記高圧縮部を挟んで両側において、前記ワイヤーバレルのみが圧着された部分に、前記高圧縮部よりも低圧縮された低圧縮部をそれぞれ形成する端子付き電線の製造方法である。 Further, the technology disclosed in the present specification is a terminal including: an electric wire formed by covering a core wire with an insulating coating; and a terminal crimped to the core wire exposed by peeling off the insulating coating at an end portion of the electric wire. A method of manufacturing an attached electric wire, wherein the terminal is wound around the bottom plate on which the exposed core wire is placed and the core wire placed on the bottom plate while being extended laterally from both sides of the bottom plate. A pair of wire barrels that are crimped in this way, a connection portion that extends in the length direction from one end of the bottom plate and is connected to a counterpart terminal, and a thickness of the wire barrel that is superimposed on the wire barrel A core whose dimensions are larger than those of the other parts, and the wire barrel, the core, and an end of the connection portion between the end of the wire barrel and the end of the wire barrel. At intervals After placing and attaching the whole core so as to overlap the wire barrel, by placing the core wire on the bottom plate and crimping the wire barrel, the wire barrel of the core wire The high compression portion is formed in a portion where the region where the core is overlapped is crimped, and the high compression is applied to the portion where only the wire barrel is crimped on both sides of the high compression portion of the core wire. It is a manufacturing method of the electric wire with a terminal which forms the low compression part compressed lower than the part, respectively.
 本明細書に開示された技術において、中子はその接続部側の端部が、ワイヤーバレルの接続部側の端部と間隔をあけて配置され、その全体がワイヤーバレルに重ねられた状態でワイヤーバレルとともに芯線に圧着される。これにより本発明では、芯線のワイヤーバレルが圧着される部分には、高圧縮部を挟んで両側に低圧縮部がそれぞれ形成される。 In the technology disclosed in the present specification, the core is arranged such that the end on the side of the connecting portion is spaced from the end on the side of the connecting portion of the wire barrel, and the whole is overlapped with the wire barrel. It is crimped to the core wire together with the wire barrel. Thereby, in this invention, the low compression part is each formed in the part by which the wire barrel of a core wire is crimped | bonded on both sides on both sides of a high compression part.
 本明細書に開示された技術において、高圧縮部では芯線がワイヤーバレルおよび中子により圧縮されることで、芯線と中子が摺接して芯線の表面に形成された酸化被膜が破壊されて金属の新生面が露出する。この新生面とワイヤーバレルとが接触することにより芯線と端子との間の接触抵抗を小さくすることができる。 In the technique disclosed in the present specification, in the high compression portion, the core wire is compressed by the wire barrel and the core, so that the oxide film formed on the surface of the core wire is destroyed by the sliding contact between the core wire and the core. The new surface is exposed. Contact resistance between the core wire and the terminal can be reduced by contacting the new surface and the wire barrel.
 一方、ワイヤーバレルのみに圧着された低圧縮部では高圧縮部よりも低圧縮されている。2つの低圧縮部のうち、接続部とは反対側の低圧縮部では、低圧縮されていることにより電線(芯線)と端子との保持力を高めることができる。 On the other hand, the low compression part crimped only to the wire barrel is compressed lower than the high compression part. Of the two low-compression parts, the low-compression part on the side opposite to the connection part can increase the holding force between the electric wire (core wire) and the terminal due to low compression.
 そして、2つの低圧縮部のうち、接続部側の低圧縮部は、ワイヤーバレルの接続部側の端部に形成されていることとなる。したがって、本発明においては、最も芯線切れの起こりやすいワイヤーバレルの接続部側の端部において圧縮力が小さくなっているので、芯線の断線が防止される。
 以上より、本明細書に開示された技術によれば、良好な電気的性能と芯線の保持力とを両立し、かつ、芯線の断線を防止した端子付き電線を提供することができる。
And the low compression part by the side of a connection part among the two low compression parts will be formed in the edge part by the side of the connection part of a wire barrel. Therefore, in the present invention, since the compressive force is small at the end of the wire barrel where the core wire is most likely to be disconnected, disconnection of the core wire is prevented.
As described above, according to the technique disclosed in this specification, it is possible to provide a terminal-attached electric wire that achieves both good electrical performance and core wire holding force and prevents the core wire from being disconnected.
 ところで、中子を、ワイヤーバレルに取り付けずに、ワイヤーバレルに載置した状態で芯線に圧着すると、中子の位置ずれが懸念されるが、本発明の製造方法によれば、先に中子をワイヤーバレルに取り付けておくので、位置ずれの問題は生じにくい。 By the way, when the core is crimped to the core wire in a state where it is placed on the wire barrel without being attached to the wire barrel, there is a concern about the positional displacement of the core. Is attached to the wire barrel, so the problem of displacement is less likely to occur.
 本明細書に開示された技術は以下の構成としてもよい。
 前記ワイヤーバレルの前記接続部側の端部から前記中子の前記接続部側の端部までの距離は、前記中子の前記接続部とは反対側の端部から前記ワイヤーバレルの前記接続部とは反対側の端部までの距離以下であってもよい。
 前記ワイヤーバレルの前記接続部側の端部から前記中子の前記接続部側の端部までの距離が、前記中子の前記接続部とは反対側の端部から前記ワイヤーバレルの前記接続部とは反対側の端部までの距離以下となるように前記中子を前記ワイヤーバレルに取り付けてもよい。
 本明細書に開示された技術において、接続部側の低圧縮部は、芯線の飛び出しや芯線切れを防止する機能を有する一方、接続部とは反対側の低圧縮部は電線(芯線)と端子とを保持する機能を有する。つまり、接続部とは反対側の低圧縮部の方が、接続部側の低圧縮部よりも大きな保持力が必要である。
The technology disclosed in this specification may have the following configuration.
The distance from the end of the wire barrel on the side of the connecting part to the end of the core on the side of the connecting part is from the end of the core opposite to the connecting part on the side of the connecting part of the wire barrel. Or less than the distance to the opposite end.
The distance from the connecting part side end of the wire barrel to the connecting part side end of the core is from the end of the core opposite to the connecting part to the connecting part of the wire barrel. You may attach the said core to the said wire barrel so that it may become below the distance to the edge part on the opposite side.
In the technology disclosed in this specification, the low compression portion on the connection portion side has a function of preventing the core wire from protruding and the core wire from being cut off, while the low compression portion on the side opposite to the connection portion is an electric wire (core wire) and a terminal. It has the function to hold. That is, the low compression part on the opposite side to the connection part requires a larger holding force than the low compression part on the connection part side.
 そこで、上記のような構成とすると、接続部とは反対側の低圧縮部において、接続部側の低圧縮部よりも保持力を大きくすることができる。 Therefore, with the configuration as described above, the holding force can be increased in the low compression portion on the side opposite to the connection portion, compared to the low compression portion on the connection portion side.
 前記中子の前記接続部側の辺の角部および前記接続部とは反対側の辺の角部はともに面取りされていてもよい。
 このような構成とすると、中子により生じる段差に起因する芯線の断線を防止することができる。
