Description

電気接続箱Electrical junction box
 本発明は、電気接続箱に関し、特に車両に搭載される配電ユニットに好適な電気接続箱に関する。 The present invention relates to an electrical junction box, and more particularly to an electrical junction box suitable for a power distribution unit mounted on a vehicle.
 車両用のリレーボックス等の電気接続箱においては、搭載スペースの縮小が要求される一方で、車載電装機器の増加や多機能化に対応する必要があり、狭いケース内に多数の電線群が挿入されてそれぞれリレー等に接続されている。そこで、多数の電線群が入り組むのを抑えるように工夫した電気接続箱が提案されている。 While electrical connection boxes such as relay boxes for vehicles require a reduction in mounting space, it is necessary to cope with an increase in the number of on-board electrical equipment and multi-functionality, and many electric wire groups are inserted in a narrow case. Each is connected to a relay or the like. Then, the electrical junction box devised so that it may suppress that many electric wire groups are complicated is proposed.
 この種の電気接続箱としては、例えば、複数のリレー等の実装部品を上面側に有する配電ユニットを枠状のケースに収納するとともに、そのケースの一部に、配電ユニットの下面側に接続された電線群をコネクタごとの単位電線群に区画するガイド壁部を設けたものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 As this type of electrical junction box, for example, a power distribution unit having a plurality of mounting parts such as relays on the upper surface side is housed in a frame-like case, and a part of the case is connected to the lower surface side of the power distribution unit. There is known one provided with a guide wall section that divides the electric wire group into unit electric wire groups for each connector (for example, see Patent Document 1).
 また、配電ユニットを複数のブロックによって構成し、それらブロックに接続する複数の電線束をグロメットを介してケース外に導出するとともに、グロメットを構成する分割筒状体の一部に、ブロック毎の電線群を区画する区画壁を設けたものも知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。 In addition, the power distribution unit is composed of a plurality of blocks, and a plurality of wire bundles connected to the blocks are led out of the case through the grommets, and the electric wires for each block are formed on a part of the divided cylindrical body constituting the grommets. What provided the division wall which divides a group is also known (for example, refer patent document 2).
 しかしながら、上述のような従来の電気接続箱にあっては、電線群がケース外に導出されたりケース内に導入されたりする開口部、すなわちハーネス出入口の近傍では、電線群が単位電線群等に区画されて適度に整列されるものの、配電ユニットへの接続位置がハーネス入口から離れている電線群がケース内で入り組む構成となっていた。そのため、それら電線群がコネクタ等による電線接続作業を阻害することで、組立の作業性が悪くなるという問題があった。 However, in the conventional electrical junction box as described above, in the vicinity of the opening where the wire group is led out of the case or introduced into the case, that is, in the vicinity of the harness entrance / exit, the wire group becomes a unit wire group or the like. Although it is partitioned and appropriately aligned, the wire group in which the connection position to the power distribution unit is away from the harness entrance is complicated in the case. Therefore, there was a problem that the assembly workability deteriorated because these wire groups hindered the wire connection work by a connector or the like.
 また、前記電線群は、引き回しやコネクタ接続作業等のために余長部を有するが、電線群がケース内で入り組んでしまう構成であるため、ケースの内奥側に入る電線群の余長設定や組立て時における余長調整が容易でなく、実装作業の作業性も良くなかった。 In addition, the wire group has a surplus portion for routing and connector connection work, etc., but the wire group is configured to be complicated in the case, so the surplus length setting of the wire group entering the inner back side of the case In addition, the extra length adjustment during assembly is not easy, and the workability of the mounting work is not good.
