そして、前記幅方向Xに沿って、電線カバー13をコネクタハウジング12に近づけて、前記取付部23の溝28内にフランジ14a,14bを挿入する。このとき、カバー部21の一対のカバー39の係止部41は、互いに係止していない。さらに、孔36内にバンド37を通しておく。こうして、図2及び図3に示すように、取付部23をコネクタハウジング12に取り付ける。なお、図2では、圧接端子8に取り付けられた電線19を省略している。   Then, along the width direction X, the electric wire cover 13 is brought close to the connector housing 12, and the flanges 14 a and 14 b are inserted into the grooves 28 of the mounting portion 23. At this time, the locking portions 41 of the pair of covers 39 of the cover portion 21 are not locked to each other. Further, a band 37 is passed through the hole 36. In this way, the attachment portion 23 is attached to the connector housing 12 as shown in FIGS. In FIG. 2, the electric wire 19 attached to the press contact terminal 8 is omitted.

そして、図2中の矢印Kに沿って、電線逃がし部24の一対の内縁突起30間に複数の電線19を圧入する。そして、図3に示すように、複数の電線19を電線逃がし部24の電線案内部29内に位置付ける。その後、ヒンジ40を中心として、一対のカバー39を回転して、該カバー39の係止部41同士を互いに係止する。溝42にフランジ14a,14bを挿入して、コネクタハウジング12にカバー部21のカバ−39則ち電線カバー13を取り付ける。すると、電線カバー13は、複数の電線19則ち電線束の外周を覆い、電線逃がし部24を通して、複数の電線19則ち電線束を電線カバー13外に導く。さらに、バンド37で電線逃がし部24の電線案内部29内に通された複数の電線19を結束する。こうして、図4に示すように、電線カバー13をコネクタハウジング12に取り付ける。このように、前述した構成のコネクタ1が組み立てられる。   Then, the plurality of electric wires 19 are press-fitted between the pair of inner edge protrusions 30 of the electric wire escape portion 24 along the arrow K in FIG. And as shown in FIG. 3, the some electric wire 19 is positioned in the electric wire guide part 29 of the electric wire escape part 24. As shown in FIG. Thereafter, the pair of covers 39 is rotated around the hinge 40 to lock the locking portions 41 of the covers 39 to each other. The flanges 14 a and 14 b are inserted into the grooves 42, and the cover 39 of the cover portion 21, that is, the wire cover 13 is attached to the connector housing 12. Then, the wire cover 13 covers the outer periphery of the plurality of wires 19, that is, the wire bundle, and guides the plurality of wires 19, that is, the wire bundle, to the outside of the wire cover 13 through the wire release portion 24. Further, the plurality of electric wires 19 passed through the electric wire guide portion 29 of the electric wire escape portion 24 are bound by the band 37. In this way, the wire cover 13 is attached to the connector housing 12 as shown in FIG. Thus, the connector 1 having the above-described configuration is assembled.

本実施形態によれば、電線19を電線カバー13外に逃がす樋状の電線逃がし部24が、カバー本体20に設けられている。このため、電線逃がし部24が複数の部材により分割されていない。これにより、電線19などから電線逃がし部24が押圧されても、カバー本体20則ち電線カバー13がコネクタハウジング12に取り付けられたままとなる。したがって、カバー本体20則ち電線カバー13がコネクタハウジング12から脱落することを防止できる。   According to the present embodiment, the cover main body 20 is provided with a bowl-shaped wire escape portion 24 that allows the wire 19 to escape to the outside of the wire cover 13. For this reason, the electric wire escape part 24 is not divided | segmented by the some member. Thereby, even if the electric wire escape portion 24 is pressed from the electric wire 19 or the like, the cover body 20, that is, the electric wire cover 13 remains attached to the connector housing 12. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cover main body 20, that is, the wire cover 13 from falling off the connector housing 12.

電線19を電線逃がし部24の電線案内部29に出し入れする際に互いの間に電線19が通される内縁突起30の頂部33が曲面に形成されている。このため、電線19を内縁突起30間に通す際に、則ち、電線19を電線案内部29内に挿入する際に、電線19が内縁突起30に接触しても、該電線19が傷つくことを防止できる。したがって、電線19の不意な破損を防止できる。   When the electric wire 19 is inserted into and removed from the electric wire guide portion 29 of the electric wire escape portion 24, the top portion 33 of the inner edge protrusion 30 through which the electric wire 19 is passed is formed in a curved surface. For this reason, when the electric wire 19 is passed between the inner edge protrusions 30, that is, when the electric wire 19 is inserted into the electric wire guide portion 29, even if the electric wire 19 contacts the inner edge protrusion 30, the electric wire 19 is damaged. Can be prevented. Therefore, the unexpected breakage of the electric wire 19 can be prevented.

電線逃がし部24の内側に位置する第1の傾斜面34が外側に位置する第2の傾斜面35より、矢印Kに対し傾いているので、電線案内部29に挿入された電線19が、内縁突起30間を通って、電線逃がし部24外に抜け出ることを防止できる。したがって、電線カバー13をコネクタハウジング12に取り付ける際に、電線19がカバー39の係止部41同士を係止する作業の妨げになることを防止できる。   Since the first inclined surface 34 located on the inner side of the electric wire escape portion 24 is inclined with respect to the arrow K from the second inclined surface 35 located on the outer side, the electric wire 19 inserted into the electric wire guide portion 29 is connected to the inner edge. It is possible to prevent the wire escape portion 24 from slipping out through the protrusions 30. Therefore, when the electric wire cover 13 is attached to the connector housing 12, it is possible to prevent the electric wire 19 from interfering with the operation of engaging the engaging portions 41 of the cover 39.

また、第2の傾斜面35が、第1の傾斜面34より矢印Kに対し傾いていないので、内縁突起30間を通して電線19を電線逃がし部24の電線案内部29内に挿入し易くなっている。したがって、電線カバー13をコネクタハウジング12に容易に取り付けることができる。   Further, since the second inclined surface 35 is not inclined with respect to the arrow K from the first inclined surface 34, the electric wire 19 can be easily inserted into the electric wire guide portion 29 of the electric wire escape portion 24 through the inner edge protrusion 30. Yes. Therefore, the electric wire cover 13 can be easily attached to the connector housing 12.

カバー部21のカバー39の係止部41同士を係止して、該カバー39をコネクタハウジング12に取り付けると、該カバー39が電線逃がし部24とともに電線19の外周を覆う。このため、カバー部21のカバー39をコネクタハウジング12に取り付けると、電線19が電線逃がし部24内から抜け出ることを防止できる。   When the locking portions 41 of the cover 39 of the cover portion 21 are locked and the cover 39 is attached to the connector housing 12, the cover 39 covers the outer periphery of the electric wire 19 together with the electric wire escape portion 24. For this reason, when the cover 39 of the cover portion 21 is attached to the connector housing 12, the electric wire 19 can be prevented from coming out of the electric wire escape portion 24.

カバー39の係止部41同士を係止して、カバー部21をコネクタハウジング12に取り付けると、カバー本体20に設けられた支え突起38にカバー39が重なる。このため、カバー39同士が必要以上に近づくことを防止できる。これにより、コネクタハウジング12に取り付けられた時の電線カバー13の過度な変形を防止できる。したがって、電線カバー13が、コネクタハウジング12に取り付けられた際に変形して、コネクタハウジング12から不意に脱落することを防止できる。   When the locking portions 41 of the cover 39 are locked to each other and the cover portion 21 is attached to the connector housing 12, the cover 39 overlaps the support protrusion 38 provided on the cover body 20. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the covers 39 from approaching each other more than necessary. Thereby, the excessive deformation | transformation of the electric wire cover 13 when it attaches to the connector housing 12 can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electric wire cover 13 from being deformed when the electric wire cover 13 is attached to the connector housing 12 and unexpectedly dropping from the connector housing 12.

取付部23が平行部26と連結部27とを備えてコ字状に形成されており、コネクタハウジング12内の圧接端子8の長手方向Yに直交(交差)する幅方向Xに沿ってスライドすることでカバー本体20をコネクタハウジング12に取り付ける。取付部23がコ字状に形成されているので、取付部23則ちカバー本体20を確実にコネクタハウジング12に取り付けることができる。   The mounting portion 23 includes a parallel portion 26 and a connecting portion 27 and is formed in a U shape, and slides along a width direction X that is orthogonal to (intersects) the longitudinal direction Y of the press contact terminal 8 in the connector housing 12. Thus, the cover body 20 is attached to the connector housing 12. Since the attachment portion 23 is formed in a U-shape, the attachment portion 23, that is, the cover body 20 can be reliably attached to the connector housing 12.

平行部26が連結部27より長いので、取付部23則ちカバー本体20をより確実にコネクタハウジング12に取り付けることができるとともに、コネクタハウジング12に取り付けられたカバー本体20が不意に脱落することを確実に防止できる。   Since the parallel part 26 is longer than the connecting part 27, the attachment part 23, that is, the cover body 20 can be more securely attached to the connector housing 12, and the cover body 20 attached to the connector housing 12 is unexpectedly dropped. It can be surely prevented.

また、コネクタハウジング12内の圧接端子8の長手方向Yに直交(交差)する幅方向Xに沿ってスライドすることで電線カバー13のカバー本体20をコネクタハウジング12に取り付ける。このため、電線逃がし部24から図4中の手前側に電線19を逃がすように、電線カバー13をコネクタハウジング12に取り付けることができるとともに、電線逃がし部24から図12中の奥側に電線19を逃がすように、電線カバー13をコネクタハウジング12に取り付けることができる。   Further, the cover body 20 of the wire cover 13 is attached to the connector housing 12 by sliding along the width direction X orthogonal to (crossing) the longitudinal direction Y of the press contact terminal 8 in the connector housing 12. For this reason, the electric wire cover 13 can be attached to the connector housing 12 so that the electric wire 19 is released from the electric wire escape portion 24 to the front side in FIG. 4, and the electric wire 19 is provided from the electric wire escape portion 24 to the back side in FIG. The electric wire cover 13 can be attached to the connector housing 12 so as to escape.

カバー本体20が電線逃がし部24と取付部23とに連なる補強リブ25を備えている。このため、カバー本体20の剛性を高めることができる。これにより、カバー本体20の過度な変形を防止して、カバー本体20則ち電線カバー13がコネクタハウジング12から不意に脱落する事を防止できる。   The cover main body 20 includes a reinforcing rib 25 that is continuous with the wire escape portion 24 and the attachment portion 23. For this reason, the rigidity of the cover body 20 can be increased. Thereby, excessive deformation of the cover main body 20 can be prevented, and the cover main body 20, that is, the wire cover 13 can be prevented from unexpectedly falling off the connector housing 12.

電線逃がし部24の外周にバンド37を取り付ける孔36を設けている。このため、バンド37をカバー本体20に取り付けたままカバー本体20則ち電線カバー13をコネクタハウジング12に着脱できる。このため、バンド37により電線逃がし部24の電線案内部29に通された複数の電線19を容易に結束できる。また、バンド37を取り付ける孔36を補強リブ25に設けているので、電線カバー13の小型化を図ることができる。   A hole 36 for attaching the band 37 is provided on the outer periphery of the wire escape portion 24. Therefore, the cover body 20, that is, the wire cover 13 can be attached to and detached from the connector housing 12 while the band 37 is attached to the cover body 20. For this reason, the plurality of electric wires 19 passed through the electric wire guide portion 29 of the electric wire escape portion 24 by the band 37 can be easily bundled. Moreover, since the hole 36 for attaching the band 37 is provided in the reinforcing rib 25, the electric wire cover 13 can be reduced in size.
