DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiments of a reception confirmation structure for an electronic component, an electrical connection box, and a wiring harness according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention.
Form of realization
An embodiment of a reception confirmation structure for an electronic component, an electrical connection box, and a wiring harness according to the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.
Reference 1 in Fig. 1 denotes an electrical connection box of this embodiment. The reference WH in Fig. 1 denotes a wiring harness provided with the electrical connection box 1. The electrical connection box 1 of this embodiment receives and maintains an electronic component 100 within and further has the electronic component 100 electrically connected to a connected object (not shown) via an electrical wire (such as a power line and a signal line) 150. The electrical connection box 1 forms, together with the electronic component 100 and the electrical wire 150, the wiring harness WH.
Examples of the electronic component 100 include a circuit protection portion such as a relay and a fuse and a connector. In this embodiment, examples of the electronic component 100 received in the electrical connection box 1 further include an electronic apparatus such as an electronic control unit. The electronic component 100 receives an electronic component body (not shown) (for example a coil for a relay and a substrate for an electronic control unit) within a housing 101. The electronic component 100 further comprises a plurality of terminals 102 electrically connected to the electronic component body and the electrical wire 150. The terminal 102 is formed in a male form or a female form from a conductive material such as a metal. In this example, a tab-shaped terminal 102 molded in a male shape protrudes from a bottom 101a of the housing 101. Examples of the connected object include a power supply, a load, and a sensor. For example, the electrical connection box 1 is interposed between a power supply and a load with the electronic component 100 connected to each other. The wiring harness WH equipped with the electrical connection box 1 is mounted on a vehicle and the like and connected to a power supply (a secondary battery) and to an electronic device (such as an actuating device) serving as a charge by the intermediate of the electric wire 150.
The electrical connection box 1 in this embodiment comprises an electronic component receiving body 10 which receives at least one electronic component 100. The electronic component receiving body 10 has a receiving chamber 20 for receiving the electronic component 100, formed for each electronic component 100 (Figures 1 and 2). The electronic component receiving body 10 is molded in an insulating material such as a synthetic resin. For example, the electronic component receiving body 10 may be formed as a housing of the electrical connection box 1 or may be configured with a housing of the electrical connection box 1 and an electronic component retaining member, a detailed illustration of which is omitted. In the case with the first electronic component receiving body 10, the receiving chamber 20 is formed inside the housing. In the case with the last electronic component receiving body 10, the receiving chamber 20 is formed in the electronic component holding member, and the electronic component holding member is received in the housing of the electrical connection box. 1 and thus maintained.
The receiving chamber 20 of this embodiment comprises a first receiving portion 21 receiving a housing 101 of the electronic component 100 and a second receiving portion 22 individually receiving a corresponding terminal 102 of the electronic component 100. The first receiving portion 21 has a bottom 21a contacting the bottom 101a of the electronic component 100 in a base-facing manner 101a when the electronic component 100 is inserted to the end-of-reception position. The end of reception position is a receiving position of the electronic component 100 in the receiving chamber 20 and is more particularly a position where the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and a terminal at one end of the electrical wire 150 are electrically connected to each other. one to another as designed. The second receiving portion 22 is disposed in the bottom 21a of the first receiving portion 21 and communicates with the first receiving portion 21 of the bottom side 21a. The electronic component 100 of this example has four terminals 102 (Figure 3), and four second receiving portions 22 are therefore formed. For example, the second receiving portion 22 receives a relay terminal (not shown) and maintains the relay terminal. The terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and a terminal (not shown) at one end of the electrical wire 150 are electrically connected to the relay terminal, which is electrically connected between the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and the terminal of the electrical wire 150.
The electrical connection box 1 has a structure for confirming the state of the connection between the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and the relay terminal (in other words, between the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and a terminal at a terminal end of the electric wire 150). Confirmation of the state of the connection must determine whether the connection between the terminal 102 and the relay terminal is made as designed.
However, the terminals are connected to one another inside the second receiving part 22, and with this structure of the electrical connection box 1, it is difficult to visually confirm the connection state between the terminals. . A determination that the terminals are connected to each other as designed is, however, accomplished by determining whether the electronic component 100 is received in the receiving chamber 20 as designed. For example, in the electrical connection box 1, if the electronic component 100 is received in the receiving chamber 20 as designed, it is possible to determine that the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 is electrically connected to its associated terminal ( a relay terminal, in this case) as designed. On the other hand, if the electronic component 100 is not received in the receiving chamber 20 as designed, for example if the electronic component 100 is received in the receiving chamber 20 in an inclined manner, it is possible to determine that the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 is likely not to be electrically connected to the associated terminal as designed. The electrical connection box 1 of this embodiment therefore has a structure (i.e., a reception confirmation structure for an electronic component 100) for confirming how the electronic component 100 is received in the reception room 20.
The reception confirmation structure comprises the reception chamber 20 and a reception confirmation mechanism 30 (FIGS. 1, 2, and 4). The reception confirmation mechanism 30 is a mechanism which generates an end-of-reception sound representing the fact that the electronic component 100 has been received in the reception chamber 20 when the electronic component 100 is inserted to the end position of receiving the receiving chamber 20 (in other words, when the electronic component 100 is inserted to a design position of the receiving chamber 20). By using the end-of-reception sound, the manner in which the electronic component 100 is received in the reception chamber 20 can be confirmed.
The reception confirmation mechanism 30 comprises a first end-of-end sound generation body 31 and a second end-of-end sound generating body 32, which are separated from one another until the Electronic component 100 is received in the reception chamber 20. The reception confirmation mechanism 30 begins to operate when the electronic component 100 is inserted into the reception chamber 20 and approaches the end of reception position. When the electronic component 100 has been inserted to the end of reception position, the reception confirmation mechanism 30 generates an end of reception sound and terminates the operation. When the electronic component 100 has been inserted to the end of reception position, the first end-of-end sound generation body 31 and the second end-of-end sound generation body 32 are engaged with each other. other and generate the end-of-reception sound. The first end-of-reception sound generation body 31 and the second end-of-end sound generation body 32 generate no end-of-reception sound until the electronic component 100 has been inserted into the end position. reception.
More particularly, the reception confirmation mechanism 30 is disposed in an operating space 33 provided within the electronic component receiving body 10 (FIGS. 2 and 4). The operating space 33 is a space used to actuate the reception confirmation mechanism 30. More particularly, the operating space 33 is a groove portion or a through-hole portion formed from the bottom 21a of the first receiving part 21 towards a direction in which the electronic component 100 is inserted. In this example, the actuating space 33 is formed as an opening hole portion. The operating space 33 is formed on the bottom 21a in a manner avoiding positions where the second receiving portions 22 are disposed and communicating with the first receiving portion 21. The receiving confirmation mechanism 30 is disposed at the an opening 33a provided in the bottom side 21a of the actuating space 33.
The first end-of-reception sound generation body 31 is a projecting body protruding into the actuating space 33 (FIG. 4). The first end-of-reception sound generation body 31 protrudes from the side wall of the actuating space 33 into the interior of the actuating space 33. For example, the first end-tone generation body reception 31 progressively progresses towards the direction in which the electronic component 100 is inserted. The first end-of-reception sound generation body 31 has a first wall surface 31a provided in the opening side 33a and a second wall surface 31b provided in the insertion direction of the electronic component side 100 further than the first wall surface 31a. The first wall surface 31a is an inclined surface of the first end-of-end sound generation body 31 which progressively protrudes toward the direction of insertion of the electronic component 100. The second wall surface 31b may be a plane perpendicular to the direction insertion or may be an inclined surface with respect to the direction of insertion.
The second end-of-reception sound generating body 32 is a tilting body disposed in a manner that protrudes from the actuating space 33 to the first receiving portion 21 in the receiving chamber 20 and inclined by being pushed by an inserted electronic component 100.
The second end-of-reception sound generating body 32 has a receiving portion 32a (FIG. 4) which receives a pressing force from a pressing portion 105 (FIG. 3) on the bottom 101a of the inserted electronic component 100. receiving part 32a is positioned in the first receiving part 21 before the electronic component 100 is received in the receiving chamber 20.
The second end-of-reception sound generation body 32 further has a projection portion 32b disposed closer to the first end-of-reception sound generating body 31 compared to the receiving portion 32a. The projection portion 32b contacts the first wall surface 31a of the first end-of-end sound generating body 31 before the electronic component 100 is inserted into the end-of-reception position. When the electronic component 100 is inserted to the end of reception position, the jump portion 32b passes over the first end-of-reception sound generation body 31 and generates an end-of-reception sound with the first body The biasing portion 32b has a first wall surface 32b1 formed in the opening side 33a and a second wall surface 32b2 formed in the opposite side to the direction of insertion of the component. 100 relative to the first wall surface 32b1 (the upper drawing of FIG. 5). The first wall surface 32bl has a curved surface which contacts the first wall surface 31a of the first end-of-end sound generating body 31 upon insertion of the electronic component 100 into the receiving chamber 20 and which slides along the first wall surface 31a with a deeper insertion of the electronic component 100. In the state where the electronic component 100 has been inserted to the end-of-reception position, the second wall surface 32b2 can be a plane perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the electronic component 100 or may be a surface inclined with respect to the direction of insertion of the electronic component 100.
The second end-of-end sound generating body 32 further has a lever portion 32c protruding from the side wall of the actuating space 33 and extending toward the receiving portion 32a. The lever portion 32c is a portion connecting between the side wall of the actuating space 33 and the receiving portion 32a and formed with flexibility so as to be able to tilt when the receiving portion 32a is pushed. by the electronic component 100.
In this reception confirmation structure, the electronic component 100 is inserted into the receiving chamber 20, which causes the pressing portion 105 of the electronic component 100 to come into contact with the receiving portion 32a of the second sound generation body. end of reception 32 (the upper drawing of Figure 5). Furthermore, in this reception confirmation structure, the second end-of-reception sound generation body 32 is gradually inclined with a deeper insertion of the electronic component 100, and the first wall surface 32b1 of the projection portion 32b of the second end-of-end sound generating body 32 contacts the first wall surface 31a of the first end-of-end sound generating body 31 (the middle drawing of Fig. 5). With a deeper insertion, the second end-of-end sound generating body 32 is gradually inclined while deforming, and the first wall surface 32b1 of the second end-of-end sound generating body 32 slides along the first wall surface 31a of the first end-of-end sound generating body 31 (the middle drawing and the lower drawing of Fig. 5). With an even deeper insertion, when the electronic component 100 has been inserted to the end of reception position, the jump portion 32b passes over the first end-of-reception sound generation body 31 and generates a sound. end of receipt (the upper to lower drawings of Figure 6). With the jump portion 32b passing over the first end-of-reception sound generation body 31, deformation of the second end-of-end sound generating body 32 is suppressed. With this process, the second wall surface 32b2 of the projection portion 32b of the second end-of-end sound generating body 32 contacts the second wall surface 31b of the first end-of-end sound generation body 31 and generates an impact sound serving as the end-of-reception sound. In this reception confirmation structure, a friction noise can be caused between the first end-of-end sound generation body 31 and the jump portion 32b when the jump portion 32b passes over the first generation body. its end of reception 31. This friction noise can also be used as the end of reception sound.
As described above, with the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1 of this embodiment, an end-of-reception sound is generated when the electronic component 100 is inserted until at the receiving end position of the receiving chamber 20. With this receiving confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, an operator having the received electronic component 100 can determine that the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and a relay terminal (more particularly the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and a terminal at one end of the electrical wire 150) have been electrically connected to each other as designed using the end sound reception without depending on a visual check. On the other hand, in the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, the reception confirmation mechanism 30 is placed in the operating space 33 provided inside the reception body of the receiver. electronic component 10. This arrangement can avoid an increase in the size of the electronic component receiving body 10 (i.e. the size of the electrical connection box 1). The reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1 allow easier confirmation of the connection state between the terminals without increasing the size of the device. The wiring harw WH of this embodiment comprises the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, and the same advantageous effects can therefore be exerted with the wiring harness WH.
The insertion force of the electronic component 100 is affected by the degree of engagement when the jump portion 32b passes over the first end-of-end sound generation body 31 and the degree of flexibility of the lever portion. 32c. In this process, a smaller insertion force is not always advantageous. The insertion force can be used to give the operator a feeling of moderation when the jump portion 32b passes over the first end-of-end sound generation body 31 (in other words when the sound of end of reception is generated). For example, the moderation sensation must be at a level with which the operator can recognize that the jump portion 32b has passed over the first end-of-receipt sound generation body 31. The receive confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 provides the sensation of moderation to the operator with the end-of-reception sound so that the operator can more clearly determine the state of the connection between the terminals. It is thus preferable that the degree of engagement when the jump portion 32b passes over the first end-of-end sound generating body 31 and the degree of flexibility of the lever portion 32c are set so that the feel of Moderation in the overpass is at an appropriate level to confirm the state of connection between the terminals. The moderation sensation can be modified by adjusting the amount of change of the insertion force for the insertion amount of the electronic component 100 in the receiving chamber 20.
The receiving chamber 20 is larger than the electronic component 100 so as to smooth the insertion operation of the electronic component 100. This configuration can problematically cause the electronic component 100 to be inserted into the receiving chamber 20. in an inclined manner with respect to the direction of insertion (FIG. 7). If the electronic component 100 is inserted in an inclined manner, the operator can feel the commitment at any time of the insertion process of the electronic component 100. If the end of reception sound is generated parallel to the direction of engagement, the operator can determine that the electronic component 100 has been inserted to the end of reception position. However, depending on the arrangement of the reception confirmation mechanism 30, even when the reception end sound is generated, the electronic component 100 may not be inserted to the end of reception position. Considering that the electronic component 100 is capable of being inserted into the receiving chamber 20 in an inclined manner with respect to the direction of insertion, the reception confirmation structure is designed as follows.
For example, the reception confirmation mechanisms 30 are provided such that the respective pressure portions 105 are disposed at least on the respective end sides of the electronic component 100 in the tilt direction (FIGS. 2 and 7). In this example, the single receiving confirmation mechanism is disposed on each end side of the electronic component 100. With the receiving confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, even when one of the reception confirmation mechanisms 30 generates an end-of-reception sound in response to the electronically inserted component 100 in an inclined manner, the operator can determine that the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and the relay terminal (more particularly the terminal 102 of the electronic component 100 and a terminal at one end of the electrical wire 150) have not yet been electrically connected to each other as designed until the other confirmation confirmation mechanism 30 generates the its end of reception. With this reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, the state of connection between the terminals can be easily confirmed. On the other hand, in the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, when the electronic component 100 is inserted without inclination, the two reception confirmation mechanisms 30 simultaneously generate more end-of-reception sounds. strong compared to cases where the reception confirmation mechanisms operate at different times from each other. This configuration therefore increases the sensation of moderation caused when the jump portion 32b passes over the first end-of-reception sound generation body 31 (in other words when the end-of-reception sound is produced). In this way, the connection state between the terminals can be easily confirmed. The wiring harw WH of this embodiment comprises the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, and the same advantageous effects can therefore be exerted with the wiring harness WH.
Furthermore, if no terminal 102 or second receiving portion 22 is disposed at a central portion or center of gravity on the projected shape of the electronic component 100 seen from the direction of insertion into the receiving chamber 20 , the receiving confirmation mechanism 30 may be provided such that the pressing portion 105 is disposed at the central portion or center of gravity.
Whatever the manner in which the electronic component 100 is inclined when it is received in the receiving chamber 20, with the bottom 101a corresponding to the central part or center of gravity coming into contact with the bottom 21a of the first part 21, the electronic component 100 is received in the end of reception position. An electrical connection with the associated terminal is therefore established as designed. In the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100, the reception confirmation mechanism 30 is provided such that the pressing portion 105 is disposed at the center portion or center of gravity of the electronic component 100. Which regardless of how the electronic component 100 is inclined when it is received in the receiving chamber 20, a state of design connection between the terminals is therefore ensured by maintaining the thrust of the electronic component 100 until the end of reception sound is generated. With the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, the state of connection between terminals can be easily confirmed. The wiring harw WH of this embodiment comprises the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, and the same advantageous effects can therefore be exerted with the wiring harness WH.
As described earlier, the electronic component 100 has a plurality of terminals 102. However, the terminals 102 are not always aligned evenly or evenly on the bottom 101a. In this case, the arrangement zone for the terminals 102 of the electronic component 100 can be divided into a congested area T1 relatively congested by terminals 102 and a less congested area T2 with terminals arranged in a relatively dispersed manner 102. When each terminal 102 is simultaneously engaged with its associated terminal, the congested area T1 needs a greater insertion force than the less congested area T2. The insertion amount of the terminal 102 in the second receiving part 22 in the less congested area T2 is for this reason greater than the insertion quantity of the terminal 102 in the congested area T1. This configuration can bring the component 100 to be inserted into the receiving chamber 20 in an inclined manner (Figure 8). As a solution, when the electronic component 100 having a plurality of terminals 102 is inserted into the receiving chamber 20 with the terminals 102 simultaneously engaged with the respective associated terminals, the receiving confirmation mechanism 30 is provided so that the part of pressure 105 is disposed in a position closer to the congested area T1 encumbered by the terminals 102. With this reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100, even when the electronic component 100 is received in the reception chamber 20 with an inclination caused by the reason described above, a connection state designed between the terminals is ensured by maintaining the thrust of the electronic component 100 until the end-of-reception sound is generated. With the reception confirmation structure for the electronic component 100 and the electrical connection box 1, the state of connection between the terminals can be easily confirmed.
