Description

本発明は、ワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造及びワイヤハーネスの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a wire harness countermeasure structure and a method of manufacturing a wire harness.

複数の電線を束ねたワイヤハーネスの止水構造として、1液止水(シリコン)や、ブチルゴムを用いるものがある。1液止水による止水構造は、図15の(a)に示すように、電線束を個々の電線501にばらして、シリコン503を塗布し、なじませ、成形し、固化させる。固化させたシリコン503の外周は、シート材505によって覆われる。このようにして止水構造が付与されたワイヤハーネスは、シート材505の外周にグロメット507が外挿される。グロメット507は、シート材505と車体パネル等のハーネス挿通穴(図示略)の間を止水する。   As a water stopping structure of a wire harness in which a plurality of electric wires are bundled, there are one using one liquid water stopping (silicon) or butyl rubber. As shown in FIG. 15 (a), the water stop structure with one liquid water stop is obtained by spreading the wire bundle into individual wires 501, applying silicon 503, blending, shaping, and solidifying. The outer periphery of the solidified silicon 503 is covered with a sheet material 505. Thus, the grommet 507 is extrapolated to the outer periphery of the sheet material 505 as for the wire harness provided with the water stop structure. Grommet 507 stops water between sheet material 505 and a harness insertion hole (not shown) such as a vehicle body panel.

また、ブチルゴムによる止水構造は、図15の(b)に示すように、電線束を個々の電線501にばらしてブチルゴム509の上に乗せ、ブチルゴム509と電線501の敷きを繰り返し、加圧して電線間にブチルゴム509を充墳し、成形する。ブチルゴム509の外周は、粘着テープ511によって巻かれる。このようにして止水構造が付与されたワイヤハーネスは、粘着テープ511の外周にシールスポンジ513が巻かれる。シールスポンジ513は、粘着テープ511とハーネス挿通穴(図示略)の間を止水する。   Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), the water-stopping structure using butyl rubber is obtained by separating the electric wire bundles into individual electric wires 501 and placing them on the butyl rubber 509, and repeatedly laying the butyl rubber 509 and the electric wires 501 under pressure. Butyl rubber 509 is filled between the wires and molded. The outer periphery of the butyl rubber 509 is wound with an adhesive tape 511. Thus, the seal sponge 513 is wound around the outer periphery of the adhesive tape 511 in the wire harness to which the water stop structure is provided. The seal sponge 513 stops water between the adhesive tape 511 and the harness insertion hole (not shown).

しかしながら、上述の1液止水による止水構造は、電線間に止水剤(シリコン503)が充填されて電線被覆と接着する。このため、止水性能は非常に優れているが、止水剤の管理が困難であるほか、固化するまでに数時間程度を必要とすることから、作業性がよくなかった。また、上述のブチルゴム509による止水構造は、電線間に止水剤(ブチルゴム509)が充填され、ブチルゴム自体が柔らかく、なじみ易く、それでいて接着性があるので、確実に充填されれば止水性能は優れるが、使用ブチルゴム量の管理が困難な問題がある。更に、ブチルゴム509による止水構造は、ブチルゴム509がベタベタしていて手に付くなど作業性が悪いとともに、充填状況の確認が行いにくい。   However, in the above-described water stop structure using one liquid water stop, a water stop agent (silicon 503) is filled between the wires and adheres to the wire covering. For this reason, although the water stop performance is very excellent, the management of the water stop agent is difficult and it takes about several hours to solidify, so the workability is not good. Further, the water-stopping structure using the above-described butyl rubber 509 is filled with a water-stopping agent (butyl rubber 509) between the wires, the butyl rubber itself is soft and easy to adapt, and yet has adhesiveness. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to control the amount of butyl rubber used. Furthermore, the water-stopping structure using butyl rubber 509 is not easy to check, such as being sticky and sticky to the hand.

また、止水構造への応用が可能な技術として、電線束の外周を樹脂材料によってモールドするモールド構造が知られている(特許文献1等参照)。ところが、このようなモールド構造では、3本以上の電線を束にしてしまうと、隣接する電線間に樹脂を充填できない隙間(樹脂未充填空間)ができてしまう。また、これらのモールド構造は、通常の射出成形機によって成形が行われる。このため、設備が大掛かりとなる。また、射出成形機を使用した場合、成形型のキャビティに溶融樹脂を射出する際の溶融樹脂の漏出によるバリの発生を抑制する必要がある。このため、成形型には、バリきりが設けられる。バリきりは、成形型から引き出される電線の外周に密着させるため、山脈のように先端が尖った複数の突条を有する。その結果、電線群の成形型配置時に、電線の被覆に傷をつけてしまう可能性があり、慎重な取り扱いが必要となるため作業性がよくなかった。   Further, as a technique that can be applied to a water stop structure, a mold structure is known in which the outer periphery of a wire bundle is molded with a resin material (see Patent Document 1 and the like). However, in such a mold structure, if three or more wires are bundled, a gap (resin unfilled space) in which resin cannot be filled is formed between adjacent wires. Further, these mold structures are molded by a normal injection molding machine. For this reason, an installation becomes large. Further, when an injection molding machine is used, it is necessary to suppress the occurrence of burrs due to leakage of the molten resin when the molten resin is injected into the mold cavity. For this reason, the mold is provided with a burr. The burrs have a plurality of ridges with pointed tips like mountains, in order to adhere to the outer periphery of the wire drawn from the mold. As a result, there is a possibility that the coating of the electric wire may be damaged when the forming group of the electric wire group is arranged, and the workability is not good because careful handling is required.

本発明は上記状況に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、電線群挿通部から浸入する水入り量を容易に抑制できるワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造及びワイヤハーネスの製造方法を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wire harness countermeasure structure and a wire harness manufacturing method capable of easily suppressing the amount of water entering from the wire group insertion portion. is there.

本発明に係る上記目的は、下記構成により達成される。
(1) 複数の電線が直径方向に並ぶ少なくとも一列の電線群と、前記電線群の延在方向の一部分を包囲し電線群挿通部の内周形状に応じた外周形状部を有するように低圧射出された硬質樹脂材によって一体にモールド成形された堰き止め部と、を備えることを特徴とするワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造。
The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following configuration.
(1) Low pressure injection so that a plurality of electric wires are arranged in the diameter direction and at least one row of electric wire groups and an outer peripheral shape portion corresponding to the inner peripheral shape of the electric wire group insertion portion surrounding a part in the extending direction of the electric wire group. And a damming portion integrally molded by the hard resin material formed.

上記(1)の構成のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造によれば、一列の電線群の延在方向の一部分を包囲して堰き止め部が一体にモールド成形される。この堰き止め部の外周形状部は、電線群挿通部の内周形状に応じた所定形状に成形される。すなわち、堰き止め部は、電線群挿通部の開口形状に応じた自由な形状に形成される。
電線群は、複数の電線が直径方向に一列で並ぶので、3本以上の電線によって包囲された樹脂未充填空間が形成されることがなく、隣接する電線同士の間に充填できる。
堰き止め部は、通常の射出成形機と異なる低圧射出成形機によって低圧射出された硬質樹脂材によって一体にモールド成形される。低圧射出成形機によるモールド成形は、通常の射出成形機に比べ、溶融樹脂の射出圧力が低い。そこで、堰き止め部をモールド成形する際の電線への影響を抑制できる。また、溶融樹脂が漏れ出しにくいので、成形型のバリきりと隣接する電線間との間の小さな隙間は空けたままとすることができる。従って、成形型から引き出される電線の外周に密着させるための先端が尖った複数の突条をバリきりに設ける必要がなくなる。
According to the countermeasure against water entry of the wire harness having the configuration (1), the damming portion is integrally molded so as to surround a part in the extending direction of the row of electric wires. The outer periphery shape part of this damming part is shape | molded by the predetermined shape according to the inner periphery shape of an electric wire group insertion part. That is, the damming portion is formed in a free shape corresponding to the opening shape of the wire group insertion portion.
Since a plurality of electric wires are arranged in a line in the diameter direction, the electric wire group can be filled between adjacent electric wires without forming a resin unfilled space surrounded by three or more electric wires.
The damming portion is integrally molded by a hard resin material injected at a low pressure by a low pressure injection molding machine different from a normal injection molding machine. Mold molding by a low-pressure injection molding machine has a lower injection pressure of molten resin than a normal injection molding machine. Then, the influence on the electric wire at the time of molding a damming part can be suppressed. In addition, since the molten resin is difficult to leak out, a small gap between the burrs of the mold and the adjacent wires can be left open. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a plurality of protrusions with sharp tips to be brought into close contact with the outer periphery of the electric wire drawn from the mold.

(2) 上記(1)の構成の水入り対策構造であって、前記電線群が、前記電線の並び方向に交差する方向に離間して複数の段数で配置されることを特徴とするワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造。 (2) The water-filling countermeasure structure having the configuration of (1), wherein the wire group is arranged in a plurality of stages apart from each other in a direction intersecting the arrangement direction of the wires.

上記(2)の構成のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造によれば、電線の数が、一列の電線群を構成する電線の数よりも多い場合であっても、樹脂未充填空間を生じさせることなく、止水性能の高い堰き止め部の成形が可能となる。   According to the countermeasure against water entry of the wire harness configured as described in (2) above, a resin-unfilled space is generated even when the number of electric wires is larger than the number of electric wires constituting one row of electric wire groups. Therefore, it is possible to form a damming portion having high water stopping performance.

(3) 上記(1)または(2)の構成のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造であって、前記堰き止め部には、前記電線群挿通部が設けられた隔壁部に係合する係合部が一体成形されることを特徴とするワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造。 (3) The wire harness water-repellent structure for the wire harness configured as described in (1) or (2) above, wherein the damming portion engages with a partition wall portion provided with the wire group insertion portion. Is a water harness countermeasure structure for wire harnesses, which is integrally molded.

上記(3)の構成のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造によれば、堰き止め部に、電線群挿通部が設けられた隔壁部(止水ボックスのケースやグロメットなど)と係合する係合部が硬質樹脂材によって一体にモールド成形されることで、堰き止め部を電線群挿通部に直接固定することができる。なお、係合部は、隔壁部に応じた取付け形状や位置決め形状を備えた構成とすることができる。また、係合部には、ナットやボルトなどを一緒にインサート成形することも可能である。   According to the countermeasure against water entry of the wire harness having the configuration of (3) above, the engaging portion that engages with the partition wall portion (such as a case of a water stop box or a grommet) provided with the wire group insertion portion at the damming portion. Is integrally molded with the hard resin material, so that the damming portion can be directly fixed to the wire group insertion portion. In addition, the engaging part can be set as the structure provided with the attachment shape and positioning shape according to a partition part. Moreover, it is also possible to insert-mold together a nut, a volt | bolt, etc. to an engaging part.

(4) 上記(1)または(2)の構成のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造であって、複数の前記堰き止め部には、互いに相手方の前記堰き止め部と合体するための係合部が一体成形されることを特徴とするワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造。 (4) In the wire harness countermeasure structure for a wire harness configured as described in (1) or (2) above, the plurality of damming portions include engaging portions for uniting with the other damming portion. Water harness countermeasure structure for wire harness, which is integrally molded.

上記(4)の構成のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造によれば、複数の堰き止め部に、互いに相手方の堰き止め部と合体するための係合部が硬質樹脂材によって一体にモールド成形されることで、複数の堰き止め部を互いに直接組合わせることができる。そこで、電線の数が、一列の電線群を構成する電線の数よりも多い場合であっても、樹脂未充填空間を生じさせることなく、水入り対策性能の高い堰き止め部を構成することが可能となる。なお、係合部は、互いに圧入嵌合する嵌合部やロック機構を備えた構成とすることができる。   According to the countermeasure against water entry of the wire harness having the configuration of the above (4), the engaging portions for uniting with the other damming portion are integrally molded with the hard damming material on the plurality of damming portions. Thus, the plurality of damming portions can be directly combined with each other. Therefore, even when the number of electric wires is larger than the number of electric wires constituting one row of electric wire groups, it is possible to constitute a damming portion having a high anti-water filling performance without causing a resin unfilled space. It becomes possible. In addition, the engaging part can be set as the structure provided with the fitting part and the locking mechanism which carry out press fitting with each other.

(5) 上記(1)〜(4)の何れか1つに記載のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造であって、前記堰き止め部における前記電線群の延在方向に沿った一対の側面を貫通して各側面からそれぞれ突出する前記電線の各突出部は、中心軸線がずれて配置されていることを特徴とするワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造。 (5) The wire harness water-proof structure according to any one of (1) to (4), wherein a pair of side surfaces along the extending direction of the wire group in the damming portion are penetrated. And each protrusion part of the said electric wire which each protrudes from each side surface is arrange | positioned so that the center axis line may shift | deviate, The water-filling countermeasure structure of the wire harness characterized by the above-mentioned.

上記(5)の構成のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造によれば、堰き止め部に埋設された電線は真っ直ぐになることはなく、ある程度自由に曲りくねることで摩擦力が増え、電線が一直線に埋設されたものに比べて電線の引抜き荷重に対する堰き止め部の保持力が高まる。そこで、堰き止め部は、電線の被覆との接着性がある材料を選定しなくとも、電線の引抜き荷重に対する保持力を向上させることができる。   According to the countermeasure against water entry of the wire harness configured as described in (5) above, the electric wire embedded in the damming portion does not become straight, and the frictional force increases by bending freely to some extent, so that the electric wire is in a straight line. The holding power of the damming portion against the drawing load of the electric wire is higher than that of the buried one. Therefore, the damming portion can improve the holding force against the drawing load of the electric wire without selecting a material having adhesiveness with the coating of the electric wire.

(6) 複数の電線が直径方向に並ぶ少なくとも一列の電線群と、前記電線群の延在方向の一部分を包囲し電線群挿通部の内周形状に応じた外周形状部を有する硬質樹脂材製の堰き止め部と、を備えるワイヤハーネスの製造方法であって、前記堰き止め部をモールド成形するためのキャビティと、前記一列の電線群の延在方向に沿った前記キャビティの外側両端部分において前記一列の電線群の外周を挟む平坦なバリきりとを有するハーネス収容部が分割面にそれぞれ形成された上型及び下型を、前記ハーネス収容部に前記一列の電線群の一部分を配置して型締めする型締め工程と、溶融した硬質樹脂材を前記キャビティ内に低圧射出する射出工程と、を含むことを特徴とするワイヤハーネスの製造方法。 (6) Made of a hard resin material that surrounds at least one row of electric wires in which a plurality of electric wires are arranged in the diametrical direction, and an outer peripheral shape portion that surrounds a part of the extending direction of the electric wire group and corresponds to the inner peripheral shape of the electric wire group insertion portion A damming portion, a cavity for molding the damming portion, and at both end portions outside the cavity along the extending direction of the row of electric wires. An upper mold and a lower mold, each having a harness accommodating portion having a flat burr hole sandwiching the outer periphery of a row of electric wire groups, are formed on the dividing surface, and a portion of the electric wire group is arranged in the harness accommodating portion. A method of manufacturing a wire harness, comprising: a mold clamping step of clamping, and an injection step of low-pressure injection of a molten hard resin material into the cavity.

上記(6)の構成のワイヤハーネスの製造方法によれば、ハーネス収容部に一列の電線群が配置され、この電線群の延在方向に沿ったキャビティの外側両端部分に形成された平坦なバリきりで一列の電線群を平行に挟むように合わせられた上型と下型が型締めされると、堰き止め部をモールド成形するための成形空間が上型と下型の間に画成される。そして、平坦なバリきりと隣接する電線間との間の隙間は空けたままとしてキャビティ内に溶融樹脂が低圧射出される。この際、キャビティ内に入った溶融樹脂は、圧入時の圧力が低く、漏出しにくいので、平坦なバリきりと隣接する電線間との間の隙間からの漏出が防止され、バリが抑えられる。
このため、電線の外周に密着させるための先端が尖った複数の突条を有するバリきりを上型及び下型に設ける必要がない。そこで、電線群をハーネス収容部に配置する時に、電線の被覆に傷をつけてしまうおそれがなくなり、慎重な取り扱いが不要となるため、ワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造を構成する堰き止め部をモールド成形する際の作業性が向上する。
According to the method of manufacturing the wire harness having the configuration of (6) above, the flat burrs formed at the outer end portions of the cavity along the extending direction of the electric wire group are arranged in a row of the electric wire group in the harness accommodating portion. When the upper mold and the lower mold, which are aligned so as to sandwich a row of electric wires in parallel, are clamped, a molding space for molding the damming portion is defined between the upper mold and the lower mold. The The molten resin is injected into the cavity at a low pressure while leaving a gap between the flat burrs and the adjacent wires. At this time, since the molten resin that has entered the cavity has a low pressure during press-fitting and is difficult to leak out, leakage from the gap between the flat burrs and the adjacent electric wires is prevented, and burrs are suppressed.
For this reason, it is not necessary to provide the upper mold | type and the lower mold | type with the burr | borrow which has several protrusions with the pointed tip for making it adhere to the outer periphery of an electric wire. Therefore, when arranging the wire group in the harness housing part, there is no risk of damaging the sheath of the wire, and careful handling becomes unnecessary, so the damming part that constitutes the water harness countermeasure structure for the wire harness is molded. Workability at the time of molding is improved.

(7) 上記(6)に記載のワイヤハーネスの製造方法であって、前記下型における前記バリきりが、前記一列の電線群を収容可能な凹状部を有すると共に、前記上型における前記バリきりが、前記凹状部に対向する平板状部を有し、前記型締め工程において前記凹状部に収容された前記一列の電線群が、前記平板状部によって挟持方向に押圧付勢されることを特徴とするワイヤハーネスの製造方法。 (7) The wire harness manufacturing method according to (6), wherein the burrs in the lower mold have concave portions that can accommodate the row of electric wires, and the burrs in the upper mold. However, it has a flat plate-like portion opposed to the concave portion, and the row of electric wires accommodated in the concave portion in the mold clamping step is pressed and urged in the clamping direction by the flat plate portion. A method for manufacturing a wire harness.

上記(7)の構成のワイヤハーネスの製造方法によれば、下型におけるバリきりの凹状部内に一列の電線群を収容した状態で上型と下型を型締めすることができる。そこで、電線群はハーネス収容部に配置し易く、型締め時の電線噛み込みが生じにくくなるので、ワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造を構成する堰き止め部をモールド成形する際の作業性が更に向上する。   According to the method for manufacturing the wire harness having the configuration (7), the upper mold and the lower mold can be clamped in a state where the row of electric wire groups is accommodated in the burrs in the lower mold. Therefore, the wire group is easy to place in the harness housing part, and it becomes difficult for the wire to be caught when the mold is clamped, so the workability when molding the damming part that constitutes the water harness countermeasure structure is further improved. To do.

本発明に係るワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造及びワイヤハーネスの製造方法によれば、電線群挿通部から浸入する水入り量を容易に抑制できる。   According to the wire harness countermeasure structure and the wire harness manufacturing method according to the present invention, the amount of water entering from the wire group insertion portion can be easily suppressed.

電線群11は、複数の電線15が、直径方向に一列に並んでいる。それぞれの電線15は、導体の外周が絶縁性樹脂によって被覆されている。本発明に係る電線群11は、複数の電線15が直径方向に少なくとも一列に並んで設けられる。「少なくとも一列」とは、複数列が多段状に配置されてもよい意味である。但し、この場合には、後述するように、各段の電線群同士は、離間して配置される。
Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown to (a) of FIG. 1, the water-filling countermeasure structure of the wire harness which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention has the electric wire group 11 which consists of the some electric wire 15 provided along with the horizontal direction, and the dam made from hard resin. The stop part 13 is provided as a main structure.
The electric wire group 11 has a plurality of electric wires 15 arranged in a line in the diameter direction. As for each electric wire 15, the outer periphery of a conductor is coat | covered with insulating resin. The electric wire group 11 according to the present invention is provided with a plurality of electric wires 15 arranged in at least one line in the diameter direction. “At least one row” means that a plurality of rows may be arranged in multiple stages. However, in this case, as will be described later, the electric wire groups at each stage are arranged apart from each other.

堰き止め部13は、電線群11の延在方向の一部分を包囲するように一体にモールド成形される。この堰き止め部13は、後述する電線群挿通部19の内周形状に応じた外周形状部17と、電線群11の延在方向に沿った一対の側面13a,13bとを有するように一体にモールド成形される。このモールド成形には、後述の低圧射出成形機が使用される。低圧射出成形機では、硬質樹脂材である例えば一般のエンプラ(エンジニアリングプラスチック)が使用される。本発明のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造は、換言すれば、このエンプラに、電線群11がインサート成形されたものとなっている。   The damming portion 13 is integrally molded so as to surround a part of the wire group 11 in the extending direction. The damming portion 13 is integrally formed so as to have an outer peripheral shape portion 17 corresponding to an inner peripheral shape of an electric wire group insertion portion 19 described later and a pair of side surfaces 13a and 13b along the extending direction of the electric wire group 11. Molded. A low-pressure injection molding machine, which will be described later, is used for this molding. In a low-pressure injection molding machine, for example, general engineering plastics (engineering plastics) that are hard resin materials are used. In other words, the wire harness countermeasure structure for a wire harness of the present invention is such that the wire group 11 is insert-molded in this engineering plastic.

本実施形態に係るワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造は、図1の(b)に示すように、電線群11が、電線15の並び方向に交差する方向(図1の上下方向)に離間して複数の段数で配置されてもよい。図示例では2段を例示しているが、電線群11は、3段以上の複数段であってもよい。それぞれの電線群11を離間させる理由は、3本以上の電線15によって包囲される後述の樹脂未充填空間70を生じさせないためである。   As shown in FIG. 1B, the wire harness countermeasure structure for a wire harness according to the present embodiment is separated in a direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1) in which the electric wire group 11 intersects the arrangement direction of the electric wires 15. A plurality of stages may be arranged. In the illustrated example, two stages are illustrated, but the electric wire group 11 may be a plurality of stages of three or more stages. The reason why the electric wire groups 11 are separated from each other is to prevent a resin unfilled space 70 described later from being surrounded by three or more electric wires 15.

堰き止め部13の外周形状部17は、例えば図示例の断面台形状に成形することができる。なお、堰き止め部13の外周形状部17は、これには限定されない。電線群11が1段の場合、堰き止め部13は、図2の(a)に示すような、扁平な台形状で成形される。多段の場合、堰き止め部13は、図2(b)に示すような、高さの高い台形状で成形される。各列の隣接する電線15同士は、僅かに離間していても接触していてもよい。僅かに離間していれば、その間に樹脂が入り込み電線15の外周が包囲されて水入り対策され、接触していればそれによって水入り対策が可能となるためである。   The outer peripheral shape portion 17 of the damming portion 13 can be formed, for example, in a trapezoidal cross section as shown in the drawing. The outer peripheral shape portion 17 of the damming portion 13 is not limited to this. When the electric wire group 11 has one stage, the damming portion 13 is formed in a flat trapezoidal shape as shown in FIG. In the case of multiple stages, the damming portion 13 is formed in a trapezoidal shape having a high height as shown in FIG. The adjacent electric wires 15 in each row may be slightly separated or in contact with each other. If it is slightly separated, the resin enters between them and the outer periphery of the electric wire 15 is surrounded to take measures against water entry. If they are in contact with each other, it is possible to take measures against water entry.

図4に示すように、堰き止め部13を介して電線群11が貫通される電線群挿通部19は、例えば止水ボックス100の一体ケース(隔壁部)21に設けられる。電線群挿通部19は、正面視で台形状の貫通穴23を有する筒状に形成される。堰き止め部13の外周形状部17は、この電線群挿通部19の内周形状に応じた形状を有するように成形されている。この場合、堰き止め部13は、電線群11の一端側が貫通穴23に挿通された後、貫通穴23に嵌め入れられる。この場合、堰き止め部13は、挿入方向の任意位置の断面形状が、同一に形成される。なお、貫通穴23の内周面には、シールスポンジやゴムなどの止水材が貼り付けられ、堰き止め部13の外周形状部17との間が止水されていてもよい。   As shown in FIG. 4, the wire group insertion portion 19 through which the wire group 11 passes through the damming portion 13 is provided, for example, in an integrated case (partition wall portion) 21 of the water stop box 100. The electric wire group insertion part 19 is formed in the cylinder shape which has the trapezoidal through-hole 23 by front view. The outer peripheral shape portion 17 of the damming portion 13 is formed to have a shape corresponding to the inner peripheral shape of the electric wire group insertion portion 19. In this case, the damming portion 13 is fitted into the through hole 23 after one end side of the wire group 11 is inserted into the through hole 23. In this case, the damming portion 13 has the same cross-sectional shape at an arbitrary position in the insertion direction. Note that a water-stopping material such as a seal sponge or rubber may be attached to the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 23, and the space between the outer peripheral shape portion 17 of the damming portion 13 may be stopped.

また、堰き止め部13は、挿入方向に先細のテーパー面で外周形状部17が形成されてもよい。これにより、堰き止め部13は、電線群挿通部19への挿入圧力によって、より貫通穴23の内周面に密接させることができ、高い止水性を得ることができるようになる。   Further, the damming portion 13 may be formed with the outer peripheral shape portion 17 with a tapered surface tapered in the insertion direction. Thereby, the damming portion 13 can be brought into closer contact with the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 23 by the insertion pressure to the wire group insertion portion 19, and high water-stopping performance can be obtained.

また、電線群挿通部19は、図5に示すように、止水ボックス100Aの上下ケース(隔壁部)21a,21bに設けられる分割構造であってもよい。すなわち、電線群挿通部19は、下ケース21bに形成された底板部25と、上ケース21aに形成された山形鍔部27と、が合わせられることで、台形状の貫通穴23が画成される筒状に形成されてもよい。この場合、堰き止め部13は、底板部25に載置された後、山形鍔部27が被せられることで、底板部25と山形鍔部27とによって挟持されて固定される。この堰き止め部13に対する挟持は、分割された上下ケース21a,21b同士の締結具(図示略)による固定、或いは底板部25と山形鍔部27との締結具による固定によってなされる。   Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, the electric wire group insertion part 19 may be a divided structure provided in the upper and lower cases (partition walls) 21a and 21b of the water stop box 100A. That is, the electric wire group insertion part 19 is formed with the trapezoidal through-hole 23 by combining the bottom plate part 25 formed in the lower case 21b and the mountain-shaped collar part 27 formed in the upper case 21a. It may be formed in a cylindrical shape. In this case, after the damming portion 13 is placed on the bottom plate portion 25, the ridge portion 27 is put on the bottom plate portion 25, so that the damming portion 13 is sandwiched and fixed between the bottom plate portion 25 and the mountain shape collar portion 27. The damming portion 13 is clamped by fixing the divided upper and lower cases 21a and 21b with a fastener (not shown) or fixing the bottom plate portion 25 and the angle hook portion 27 with a fastener.

図4に示すように、止水ボックス100の一体ケース21には、例えば図示しない電子機器が収容される。電線群11の一端に接続されたコネクタ29は、この電子機器と接続されている。コネクタ29は、一体ケース21に収容され、一体ケース21の電線群挿通部19から導出された電線群11が、堰き止め部13によって水入り対策される。これにより、コネクタ29は、水入り対策されたケース内に収容される。   As shown in FIG. 4, for example, an electronic device (not shown) is accommodated in the integrated case 21 of the water stop box 100. A connector 29 connected to one end of the wire group 11 is connected to this electronic device. The connector 29 is housed in the integrated case 21, and the wire group 11 led out from the wire group insertion part 19 of the integrated case 21 is prevented from entering the water by the damming unit 13. Thereby, the connector 29 is accommodated in the case in which water entry measures are taken.

また、図5に示すように、止水ボックス100Aの上下ケース21a,21bに収容された図示しない電子機器に対して、例えば2つの電線群11のコネクタ29が接続される場合には、それぞれの電線群11が上下2段に離間して重なった状態で堰き止め部13により水入り対策される。このように、接続される電線群11の数が増えるごとに、堰き止め部13には多段状に電線群11が配置される。これにより、止水ボックス100Aの電線群挿通部19において、堰き止め部13による一括した水入り対策が行われる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, when the connectors 29 of the two wire groups 11 are connected to electronic devices (not shown) accommodated in the upper and lower cases 21 a and 21 b of the water stop box 100 </ b> A, In the state where the electric wire group 11 is separated and overlapped in two upper and lower stages, the damming portion 13 takes measures against entering water. In this way, each time the number of connected wire groups 11 is increased, the wire groups 11 are arranged in multiple stages in the damming portion 13. Thereby, in the electric wire group insertion part 19 of the water stop box 100A, the countermeasure against water entering by the dam part 13 is performed.

このように、本実施形態に係るワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造を備えた止水ボックス100(100A)は、電線群11が導出される電線群挿通部19を介してケース外部から止水ボックス内へ浸入する水入り量を抑制することができる。   Thus, the water stop box 100 (100A) provided with the water harness countermeasure structure for a wire harness according to the present embodiment is provided inside the water stop box from the outside of the case via the wire group insertion portion 19 through which the wire group 11 is led. The amount of water entering the water can be suppressed.

図6は低圧射出成形機の斜視図である。
電線群11に堰き止め部13を一体にモールド成形するための低圧射出成形機31は、電動機等の外部動力なしに作業員一人でも操作可能な成形機であって、成形型33と、図示しない型締め装置と、成形型33に溶融樹脂を加圧注入する低圧射出装置35と、から構成されている。
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a low pressure injection molding machine.
The low-pressure injection molding machine 31 for molding the damming unit 13 integrally with the wire group 11 is a molding machine that can be operated by one worker without external power such as an electric motor, and is not shown with a molding die 33. It comprises a mold clamping device and a low pressure injection device 35 for injecting molten resin into the mold 33 under pressure.

低圧射出装置35は、合成樹脂等を加熱して溶融するヒータが設けられた加熱筒37と、加熱筒内の溶融樹脂を図示しないノズルから射出するプランジャ39と、プランジャ39を前進させる射出シリンダ41と、射出シリンダ41を駆動するハンドル43と、加熱筒37の加熱温度を所望の温度に保持する温調器45と、を有し、これらが台座47に立設する装置支柱49に支持されている。   The low pressure injection device 35 includes a heating cylinder 37 provided with a heater for heating and melting synthetic resin and the like, a plunger 39 for injecting molten resin in the heating cylinder from a nozzle (not shown), and an injection cylinder 41 for moving the plunger 39 forward. And a handle 43 for driving the injection cylinder 41 and a temperature controller 45 for maintaining the heating temperature of the heating cylinder 37 at a desired temperature, and these are supported by a device column 49 standing on a pedestal 47. Yes.

なお、本実施形態における低圧射出成形機31とは、1回の射出成形で成形できる樹脂の量が最大で10g程度のものであって、且つ、成形型33の型締め時に、エアシリンダ又はリンク等を用いて手動でも行うことができるものをいう。勿論、低圧射出装置35は、電動機やエア等の外部動力によって射出シリンダ41を駆動するものであってもよい。より具体的には、低圧射出成形機31としては、例えば、特開2010−260297号公報、特開2012−30429号公報及び特開2013−103492号公報などに開示された公知の「射出成形装置」を用いることができる。   Note that the low-pressure injection molding machine 31 in the present embodiment has a maximum amount of resin that can be molded by one injection molding of about 10 g, and an air cylinder or a link when the mold 33 is clamped. It can be performed manually using the above. Of course, the low pressure injection device 35 may drive the injection cylinder 41 by external power such as an electric motor or air. More specifically, as the low-pressure injection molding machine 31, for example, the well-known “injection molding apparatus” disclosed in JP2010-260297A, JP2012-30429A, JP2013-103492A, and the like. Can be used.

本実施形態に係る成形型33は、台座47に配置される。成形型33は、上型51と下型53とが、電線群11の延在方向に沿った外側両端部分に形成されたバリきり55(図6及び図8の(a)参照)に電線群11を収容するように挟んで合わせられることで、堰き止め部13を成形可能な空洞となる成形空間が画成される(型締め工程)。
即ち、上型51及び下型53には、堰き止め部13をモールド成形するためのキャビティ57と、一列の電線群11の延在方向(図6における左右方向)に沿ったキャビティ57の外側両端部分において一列の電線群11の外周を挟む平坦なバリきり55とを有するハーネス収容部56a,56bが、上型分割面(分割面)51a及び下型分割面(分割面)53aにそれぞれ形成されている。下型53におけるバリきり55は、一列の電線群11を収容可能な凹状部を有し、下型分割面53aからの深さが電線15の直径と略同じとされている。一方、上型51におけるバリきり55は、上型分割面51aと同じ面上に平板状に形成されている。
そこで、下型53におけるバリきり55の凹状部内に一列の電線群11を収容した状態で上型51と下型53を型締めすることができ、電線群11がハーネス収容部56bに配置し易くなり、型締め時の電線噛み込みが生じにくくなる。
そして、このキャビティ57にゲート52(図8参照)を介して供給路から溶融樹脂を供給することで、堰き止め部13が電線群11の外周にモールド成形される。
The mold 33 according to this embodiment is disposed on the pedestal 47. In the molding die 33, the upper die 51 and the lower die 53 are arranged on the burr hole 55 (see FIGS. 6 and 8 (a)) formed on both end portions along the extending direction of the wire group 11. 11 is formed so as to accommodate 11 so as to form a molding space that becomes a cavity capable of molding the damming portion 13 (a mold clamping step).
That is, the upper die 51 and the lower die 53 are provided with a cavity 57 for molding the damming portion 13 and both outer ends of the cavity 57 along the extending direction of the electric wire group 11 in one row (the horizontal direction in FIG. 6). Harness accommodating portions 56a and 56b having flat burrs 55 sandwiching the outer periphery of the row of electric wire groups 11 in the portion are respectively formed on the upper mold dividing surface (dividing surface) 51a and the lower mold dividing surface (dividing surface) 53a. ing. The burrs 55 in the lower mold 53 have concave portions that can accommodate a row of electric wire groups 11, and the depth from the lower mold dividing surface 53 a is substantially the same as the diameter of the electric wires 15. On the other hand, the burrs 55 in the upper mold 51 are formed in a flat plate shape on the same surface as the upper mold dividing surface 51a.
Therefore, the upper mold 51 and the lower mold 53 can be clamped in a state where the row of the wire group 11 is housed in the concave portion of the burr hole 55 in the lower mold 53, and the wire group 11 can be easily placed in the harness housing portion 56b. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the electric wire to be caught when the mold is clamped.
Then, the molten resin is supplied to the cavity 57 from the supply path via the gate 52 (see FIG. 8), whereby the damming portion 13 is molded on the outer periphery of the wire group 11.

低圧射出成形機31を使用した成形では、上型51と下型53のバリきり55に電線群11が挟まれた状態で成形型33のキャビティ57に溶融樹脂が低圧射出されると、所定量の溶融樹脂(堰き止め部13を成形するための熱可塑性樹脂の樹脂量)がキャビティ57に入る(射出工程)。   In molding using the low pressure injection molding machine 31, when the molten resin is injected at a low pressure into the cavity 57 of the molding die 33 with the wire group 11 sandwiched between the burrs 55 of the upper die 51 and the lower die 53, a predetermined amount is obtained. Molten resin (the amount of thermoplastic resin for molding the damming portion 13) enters the cavity 57 (injection step).

キャビティ57に注入された溶融樹脂は、注入先端ほど温度が低くなり、硬化が促進されると共に、バリきり55の近傍の型温度は熱可塑性樹脂の樹脂溶融温度以下である。そして、注入先端で硬化した溶融樹脂は、それ自体が封止機能を有する。溶融樹脂は、低圧射出装置35によってキャビティ57に低圧射出されるため、流動性は有するものの、平坦なバリきり55と隣接する電線15間との間の小さな隙間を通って多量に漏れ出す程の流動性は抑制されている。   The temperature of the molten resin injected into the cavity 57 becomes lower at the injection tip, curing is accelerated, and the mold temperature near the burrs 55 is equal to or lower than the resin melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin. The molten resin cured at the injection tip itself has a sealing function. Since the molten resin is injected into the cavity 57 by the low pressure by the low pressure injection device 35, the molten resin has fluidity but leaks in a large amount through a small gap between the flat burrs 55 and the adjacent electric wires 15. The fluidity is suppressed.

その結果、バリきり55と隣接する電線15間との間の隙間から溶融樹脂が多量に漏れ出すことはなく、従来の成形型のように成形樹脂を封止するための構造や部材をバリきり55に設ける必要がない。
そこで、成形型33は単純な構造となり、製造コストを低減することができる。また、上型51と下型53のバリきり55に挟持される電線群11の幅方向位置が多少変化しても、バリきり55と電線群11との隙間が固化した溶融樹脂によって封止されるので、電線群11の位置変化にも柔軟に対応できる。
As a result, a large amount of molten resin does not leak from the gap between the burr hole 55 and the adjacent electric wire 15, and the structure and members for sealing the molding resin as in the conventional mold are burred. It is not necessary to provide in 55.
Therefore, the mold 33 has a simple structure, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, even if the position in the width direction of the wire group 11 held between the burrs 55 of the upper mold 51 and the lower mold 53 is slightly changed, the gap between the burrs 55 and the cable groups 11 is sealed with a solidified molten resin. Therefore, it is possible to flexibly cope with a change in position of the wire group 11.

更に、成形型33におけるバリきり55の近傍には、キャビティ57に注入された溶融樹脂の注入先端を冷却する冷却機構(図示略)が設けられてもよい。冷却機構は、例えばバリきり55に対応する成形型33の外側に設けられる。冷却機構の例としては、冷却フィンや冷風送風機による空冷式、冷却水配管を設けることによる水冷式、ペルチェ素子を用いた電子冷却等を挙げることができる。冷却機構により溶融樹脂の注入先端の温度を常温よりも迅速に低温とし、溶融樹脂の硬化を局所的に促進させることが可能となる。
なお、本実施形態では、成形型33が水平割型のものについて説明したが、成形型33は垂直割型であってもよい。
Further, a cooling mechanism (not shown) for cooling the injection tip of the molten resin injected into the cavity 57 may be provided in the vicinity of the burrs 55 in the mold 33. The cooling mechanism is provided outside the molding die 33 corresponding to the burr hole 55, for example. Examples of the cooling mechanism include an air cooling method using a cooling fin or a cold air blower, a water cooling method using a cooling water pipe, and electronic cooling using a Peltier element. The temperature of the molten resin injection tip can be lowered to a temperature lower than room temperature quickly by the cooling mechanism, and the hardening of the molten resin can be locally promoted.
In the present embodiment, the mold 33 is a horizontal split mold, but the mold 33 may be a vertical split mold.

次に、上記した構成の作用を説明する。
本実施形態に係るワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造では、一列又は二列の電線群11の延在方向の一部分を包囲して堰き止め部13が一体にモールド成形される。
Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
In the countermeasure against water entry of the wire harness according to the present embodiment, the damming portion 13 is integrally molded so as to surround a part in the extending direction of one or two rows of electric wire groups 11.

図7の(a)に示すように、堰き止め部13の外周形状部17は、電線群挿通部19の内周形状に応じた所定形状(本実施形態では断面台形状)に成形される。すなわち、堰き止め部13は、電線群挿通部19の開口形状に応じた自由な形状に形成される。   As shown to (a) of FIG. 7, the outer peripheral shape part 17 of the damming part 13 is shape | molded by the predetermined shape (this embodiment cross-sectional trapezoid shape) according to the inner peripheral shape of the electric wire group penetration part 19. As shown in FIG. That is, the damming portion 13 is formed in a free shape corresponding to the opening shape of the wire group insertion portion 19.

電線群11は、複数の電線15が直径方向に一列で並ぶので、図7の(b)に示すように、3本以上の電線15によって包囲された樹脂未充填空間70が形成されることがなく、隣接する電線15同士の間を確実に水入り対策できる。   In the electric wire group 11, since a plurality of electric wires 15 are arranged in a line in the diameter direction, a resin unfilled space 70 surrounded by three or more electric wires 15 is formed as shown in FIG. In addition, it is possible to reliably prevent water entering between the adjacent electric wires 15.

本実施形態のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造では、堰き止め部13を成形する硬質樹脂材として電線被覆と接着性のある材料を選定することによって、完全止水に近い状態を作ることができる。電線15同士が接する部分は、どうしても存在するが、ごくわずかであり、密着しているため、水入り対策性能は高い。但し、堰き止め部13の用途から考えて、安価で、成形しやすい材料を選定するのが適当であり、完全止水には至らなくてもよい。   In the water harness countermeasure structure for a wire harness according to this embodiment, a state close to complete water stop can be created by selecting a material that has adhesiveness to the wire covering as the hard resin material for molding the damming portion 13. The part where the electric wires 15 are in contact with each other is inevitably present, but is very small and is in close contact with each other. However, considering the use of the damming portion 13, it is appropriate to select a material that is inexpensive and easy to mold, and does not need to achieve complete water stopping.

堰き止め部13は、エンプラ等の硬質樹脂材からなり、剛性を有するので、電線群挿通部19が設けられた隔壁部である一体ケース21や上下ケース21a,21bに所定の強度で固定することが可能となる。なお、堰き止め部13と電線群挿通部19との間の水入り対策は、電線群挿通部19の内周面にシールスポンジやゴムなどの止水材を貼り付けることで行うことができる。   The damming portion 13 is made of a hard resin material such as engineering plastic and has rigidity. Therefore, the damming portion 13 is fixed to the integrated case 21 and the upper and lower cases 21a and 21b, which are partition walls provided with the wire group insertion portion 19, with a predetermined strength. Is possible. In addition, the countermeasure against water entering between the damming portion 13 and the wire group insertion portion 19 can be performed by sticking a waterstop material such as a seal sponge or rubber to the inner peripheral surface of the wire group insertion portion 19.

堰き止め部13は、通常の射出成形機と異なる低圧射出成形機31によって低圧射出された硬質樹脂材によって一体にモールド成形される。低圧射出成形機31によるモールド成形は、通常の射出成形機に比べ、溶融樹脂の射出圧力が低い。そこで、堰き止め部13をモールド成形する際の電線15への熱による影響を抑制できる。また、低圧射出成形機31による成形は、通常の射出成形機に比べ設備の規模を縮小できる。   The damming unit 13 is integrally molded by a hard resin material injected at a low pressure by a low pressure injection molding machine 31 different from a normal injection molding machine. Molding by the low-pressure injection molding machine 31 has a lower injection pressure of molten resin than a normal injection molding machine. Then, the influence by the heat to the electric wire 15 at the time of molding the damming part 13 can be suppressed. Further, the molding by the low-pressure injection molding machine 31 can reduce the scale of equipment as compared with a normal injection molding machine.

また、本実施形態に係るワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造では、電線群11を包囲するように堰き止め部13をモールド成形する際、溶融樹脂が漏れ出しにくいので、成形型33の平坦なバリきり55と隣接する電線15間との間の小さな隙間は空けたままとすることができる。この場合、例えば、電線15が細物電線0.35sq以下で、線径がそろっている場合に限定すると、良好な水入り対策構造が得られる。   In the wire harness countermeasure structure for a wire harness according to the present embodiment, when the damming portion 13 is molded so as to surround the electric wire group 11, the molten resin is difficult to leak out. A small gap between 55 and the adjacent electric wire 15 can be left open. In this case, for example, when the electric wire 15 is a thin electric wire of 0.35 sq or less and the wire diameters are uniform, a favorable countermeasure against water entry can be obtained.

このように、本実施形態に係るワイヤハーネスの製造方法では、低圧射出成形機31によって低圧で堰き止め部13のモールド成形を行うため、溶融樹脂の圧入時の圧力が低く、溶融樹脂が漏出しにくい。
即ち、下型53のハーネス収容部56bに一列の電線群11が配置され、この電線群11の延在方向に沿ったキャビティ57の外側両端部分に形成された平坦なバリきり55で一列の電線群11を平行に挟むように合わせられた上型51と下型53が型締めされると、堰き止め部13をモールド成形するための成形空間が上型51と下型53の間に画成される。そして、平坦なバリきり55と隣接する電線15との間の隙間は空けたままとしてキャビティ57内に溶融樹脂が低圧射出される。この際、キャビティ57内に入った溶融樹脂は、圧入時の圧力が低く、漏出しにくいので、平坦なバリきり55と隣接する電線15間との間の隙間からの漏出が防止され、バリが抑えられる。
As described above, in the method of manufacturing the wire harness according to the present embodiment, the damming portion 13 is molded at a low pressure by the low pressure injection molding machine 31, so that the pressure when the molten resin is injected is low and the molten resin leaks out. Hateful.
That is, a row of electric wire groups 11 is arranged in the harness housing portion 56b of the lower mold 53, and a row of electric wires is formed by flat burrs 55 formed at both ends of the cavity 57 along the extending direction of the electric wire group 11. When the upper mold 51 and the lower mold 53, which are combined so as to sandwich the group 11 in parallel, are clamped, a molding space for molding the damming portion 13 is defined between the upper mold 51 and the lower mold 53. Is done. Then, the molten resin is injected into the cavity 57 at a low pressure while leaving a gap between the flat burr 55 and the adjacent electric wire 15. At this time, since the molten resin that has entered the cavity 57 has a low pressure during press-fitting and is difficult to leak out, leakage from the gap between the flat burr hole 55 and the adjacent electric wire 15 is prevented, and burr is prevented. It can be suppressed.

このため、図9に示した比較例の成形型60における上型62の上型分割面62a及び下型64の下型分割面64aにそれぞれ形成されるハーネス収容部67a,67bのように、電線15の外周に密着させるための先端が尖った複数の突条61を有するバリきり63を設ける必要がなくなる。
従って、本実施形態に係る成形型33は、図8の(a)に示すように、フラットに近い状態に上型51と下型53のバリきり55を設定してもバリを抑えることが可能となる。すなわち、平坦なバリきり55と隣接する電線15間との間の小さな隙間は空けたままとしてキャビティ57に溶融樹脂を注入すると、この隙間から僅かにはみ出した溶融樹脂がすぐに固化して栓14(図3参照)となって、キャビティ57内からの溶融樹脂の漏出を防止する。キャビティ57内には、所定の圧力の下に溶融樹脂が充填可能となる。その結果、電線群11を成形型33のハーネス収容部56a,56bに配置する時に、電線15の被覆に傷をつけてしまうおそれがなくなり、慎重な取り扱いが不要となるため、ワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造を構成する堰き止め部13をモールド成形する際の作業性が向上する。これにより、安価な設備で、容易な作業によりワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造が実現する。
For this reason, like the harness accommodating portions 67a and 67b respectively formed on the upper mold dividing surface 62a of the upper mold 62 and the lower mold dividing surface 64a of the lower mold 64 in the molding die 60 of the comparative example shown in FIG. There is no need to provide a burr 63 having a plurality of protruding ridges 61 with sharp tips for tight contact with the outer periphery of 15.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8A, the molding die 33 according to the present embodiment can suppress burrs even if the burr holes 55 of the upper die 51 and the lower die 53 are set in a nearly flat state. It becomes. That is, when the molten resin is injected into the cavity 57 while leaving a small gap between the flat burr hole 55 and the adjacent electric wire 15, the molten resin slightly protruding from this gap is immediately solidified and the plug 14. Thus, leakage of the molten resin from the cavity 57 is prevented. The cavity 57 can be filled with a molten resin under a predetermined pressure. As a result, when the electric wire group 11 is arranged in the harness housing portions 56a and 56b of the molding die 33, there is no risk of damaging the coating of the electric wire 15, and careful handling becomes unnecessary. Workability at the time of molding the damming portion 13 constituting the countermeasure structure is improved. As a result, a water harness countermeasure structure for water harnesses is realized by an easy operation with inexpensive equipment.

また、図8の(b)に示した本実施形態の変形例に係る成形型33Aでは、下型53Aにおけるハーネス収容部58bのバリきり55が、一列の電線群11を収容可能な凹状部を有し、下型分割面53aからの深さが電線15の直径よりも深くされている。一方、上型51Aにおけるハーネス収容部58aのバリきり55は、凹状部に嵌合する凸状部を有し、上型分割面51aから所定の高さ突出している。そして、型締め工程において、下型53Aにおけるバリきり55の凹状部に収容された一列の電線群11が、上型51Aにおけるバリきり55の凸状部によって挟持方向に押圧付勢される。   Further, in the molding die 33A according to the modification of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 8B, the burrs 55 of the harness housing portion 58b in the lower die 53A have a concave portion that can accommodate the one-row electric wire group 11. And the depth from the lower mold parting surface 53 a is made deeper than the diameter of the electric wire 15. On the other hand, the burr 55 of the harness housing portion 58a in the upper mold 51A has a convex portion that fits into the concave portion, and protrudes from the upper mold dividing surface 51a by a predetermined height. In the mold clamping step, the row of electric wire groups 11 accommodated in the concave portions of the burrs 55 in the lower die 53A is pressed and urged in the clamping direction by the convex portions of the burrs 55 in the upper die 51A.

従って、本実施形態の成形型33Aを用いたワイヤハーネスの製造方法によれば、下型53Aにおけるバリきり55の凹状部内に一列の電線群11を収容した状態で上型51Aと下型53Aを型締めすることができる。そこで、電線群11はハーネス収容部58bに配置し易く、型締め時の電線噛み込みが生じにくくなるので、ワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造を構成する堰き止め部13をモールド成形する際の作業性が更に向上する。
また、型締め時にバリきり55の凹状部に収容された一列の電線群11が、上型51Aにおけるバリきり55の凸状部によって挟持方向に押圧付勢される。そこで、電線15の被覆が弾性変形して潰れ、平坦なバリきり55と隣接する電線15間との間の隙間を小さくすることができると共に、一列の電線群11が綺麗に整列されて見栄えが向上する。
Therefore, according to the method for manufacturing a wire harness using the molding die 33A of the present embodiment, the upper die 51A and the lower die 53A are mounted in a state where the row of electric wire groups 11 is accommodated in the concave portion of the burrs 55 in the lower die 53A. The mold can be clamped. Therefore, the wire group 11 is easy to be placed in the harness housing portion 58b, and it is difficult for the wire to be caught when the mold is clamped. Therefore, the workability when molding the damming portion 13 that constitutes the countermeasure structure against water entry of the wire harness is improved. Is further improved.
Moreover, the electric wire group 11 of a row accommodated in the concave part of the burr 55 at the time of mold clamping is urged | biased in the clamping direction by the convex part of the burr 55 in the upper mold | type 51A. Therefore, the coating of the electric wires 15 is elastically deformed and crushed, so that the gap between the flat burr hole 55 and the adjacent electric wires 15 can be reduced, and the one-row electric wire group 11 is neatly arranged and looks good. improves.

また、図8の(c)に示した本実施形態の変形例に係る成形型33Bでは、下型53Bにおけるハーネス収容部59bのバリきり55が、一列の電線群11を整列可能な第1凹状部を有し、下型分割面53aからの深さが電線15の直径の約半部の深さとされている。一方、上型51Bにおけるハーネス収容部59aのバリきり55は、第1凹状部に対向する第2凹状部を有し、上型分割面51aからの深さが電線15の直径の約半部の深さとされている。そして、型締め工程において、下型53Bにおけるバリきり55の第1凹状部に収容された一列の電線群11が、上型51Bにおけるバリきり55の第2凹状部によって挟持方向に押圧付勢される。   Further, in the molding die 33B according to the modification of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 8C, the burr hole 55 of the harness housing portion 59b in the lower die 53B is a first concave shape that can align the one-row electric wire group 11. The depth from the lower mold dividing surface 53a is about half the diameter of the electric wire 15. On the other hand, the burr hole 55 of the harness housing portion 59a in the upper mold 51B has a second concave portion facing the first concave portion, and the depth from the upper mold dividing surface 51a is about half of the diameter of the wire 15. It is said to be deep. In the mold clamping step, the row of electric wire groups 11 housed in the first concave portion of the burr hole 55 in the lower die 53B is pressed and urged in the clamping direction by the second concave portion of the burr hole 55 in the upper die 51B. The

従って、本実施形態の成形型33Bを用いたワイヤハーネスの製造方法によれば、下型53Bにおけるバリきり55の第1凹状部内に一列の電線群11を整列した状態で上型51Bと下型53Bを型締めすることができる。そこで、電線群11はハーネス収容部59bに配置し易くなるので、ワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造を構成する堰き止め部13をモールド成形する際の作業性が向上する。   Therefore, according to the method for manufacturing a wire harness using the molding die 33B of the present embodiment, the upper die 51B and the lower die are arranged in a state in which the electric wire group 11 is aligned in the first concave portion of the burrs 55 in the lower die 53B. 53B can be clamped. Then, since the electric wire group 11 becomes easy to arrange | position in the harness accommodating part 59b, the workability | operativity at the time of mold-forming the damming part 13 which comprises the water-filling countermeasure structure of a wire harness improves.

また、図1の(b)及び図5に示した本実施形態のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造では、電線群11が、電線15の並び方向に交差する方向に離間して複数の段数で配置されている。これにより、電線15の数が一列の電線群11を構成する電線15の数よりも多い場合であっても、樹脂未充填空間70を生じさせることなく、水入り対策性能の高い堰き止め部13の成形が可能となる。   Moreover, in the water harness countermeasure structure for a wire harness according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 5, the electric wire group 11 is arranged in a plurality of stages spaced apart in a direction intersecting the arrangement direction of the electric wires 15. Has been. Thereby, even if it is a case where the number of the electric wires 15 is larger than the number of the electric wires 15 which comprise the electric wire group 11 of 1 row, the dam part 13 with the high water countermeasure performance without producing the resin unfilled space 70. Can be formed.

図10に示すように、本実施形態のワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造における堰き止め部13Aには、電線群挿通部19が設けられた止水ボックス100の一体ケース21に係合する係合部65が一体成形されている。係合部65は、堰き止め部13Aの幅方向両端に突設された一対の固定用フランジであり、ねじ止め孔66を有する。   As shown in FIG. 10, the damming portion 13 </ b> A in the water harness countermeasure structure of the wire harness according to the present embodiment engages with the integrated case 21 of the water blocking box 100 provided with the wire group insertion portion 19. 65 is integrally molded.

The damming portion 13 can be directly fixed to the wire group insertion portion 19. That is, the damming portion 13 can be firmly fixed to the water stop box 100 by screwing the mounting screw inserted into the screwing hole 66 of the engaging portion 65 into the integrated case 21.

なお、本実施形態に係る係合部65は、固定用フランジ形状に限らず、一体ケース21に応じた取付け形状や位置決め形状を備えた構成とすることができる。また、係合部65には、ナットやボルトなどを一緒にインサート成形することも可能である。   In addition, the engaging part 65 which concerns on this embodiment can be set as the structure provided with the attachment shape and positioning shape according to the integrated case 21 not only in the flange shape for fixation. The engaging portion 65 can be insert-molded together with a nut, a bolt, or the like.

また、本実施形態に係るワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造は、成形型33のキャビティ57内に溶融樹脂を低圧射出することにより堰き止め部13をモールド成形するため、堰き止め部13の形状は成形型33のキャビティ57で成形できるものであればどのような形状でも対応可能である。例えば、堰き止め部の外周形状部を円柱状に形成することにより、堰き止め部が円形の電線群挿通部を有するグロメットの筒部に嵌合されたワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造とすることができる。この場合においても、一列の電線群11は、円形の堰き止め部に任意の段数で設けることができる。   Moreover, since the water-filling countermeasure structure of the wire harness according to the present embodiment molds the damming portion 13 by low-pressure injection of molten resin into the cavity 57 of the molding die 33, the shape of the damming portion 13 is molded. Any shape that can be molded by the cavity 57 of the mold 33 can be used. For example, by forming the outer peripheral shape part of the damming part into a columnar shape, the damming part may be a water harness countermeasure structure for fitting into a tubular part of a grommet having a circular wire group insertion part. it can. Even in this case, the row of electric wire groups 11 can be provided in any number of stages in the circular damming portion.

また、図11の(a)に示したワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造における堰き止め部13Bは、互いに合体するための係合部である嵌合部20がそれぞれ一体成形された一対の堰き止め部材(堰き止め部)13d,13eを合体することにより構成されている。
嵌合部20は、堰き止め部材13dの底面に凹設された嵌合凹部16と、堰き止め部材13eの上面に突設された嵌合凸部18とから成り、嵌合凸部18が嵌合凹部16に圧入嵌合されることにより、堰き止め部材13dと堰き止め部材13eが直接組合わされて堰き止め部13Bを構成している。
また、本実施形態の嵌合凸部18の両側面には、複数の圧入リブ18aが設けられている。圧入リブ18aは、圧入嵌合時に潰れることで、嵌合凹部16への嵌合凸部18の圧入嵌合を容易、且つ確実にすることができる。
In addition, the damming portion 13B in the wire harness water-filling structure shown in FIG. 11A is a pair of damming members in which the fitting portions 20 which are engaging portions for being combined with each other are integrally formed. (Damming part) It is comprised by uniting 13d and 13e.
The fitting portion 20 includes a fitting concave portion 16 that is recessed on the bottom surface of the damming member 13d, and a fitting convex portion 18 that protrudes on the top surface of the damming member 13e. By press-fitting into the mating recess 16, the blocking member 13d and the blocking member 13e are directly combined to form the blocking portion 13B.
Further, a plurality of press-fitting ribs 18a are provided on both side surfaces of the fitting convex portion 18 of the present embodiment. The press-fitting rib 18a is crushed during press-fitting so that the press-fitting of the fitting convex part 18 into the fitting concave part 16 can be easily and reliably performed.

そこで、このワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造では、それぞれ電線群11に一体にモールド成形された一対の堰き止め部材13d,13eを合体することで、複数の電線群11が、電線15の並び方向に交差する方向に離間して複数の段数で配置される。これにより、電線15の数が一列の電線群11を構成する電線15の数よりも多い場合であっても、樹脂未充填空間70を生じさせることなく、水入り対策性能の高い堰き止め部13Bを構成することが可能となる。   In view of this, in the water harness countermeasure structure for a wire harness, a plurality of wire groups 11 are arranged in the direction in which the wires 15 are arranged by combining a pair of damming members 13d and 13e molded integrally with the wire group 11, respectively. A plurality of stages are arranged apart from each other in the intersecting direction. Thereby, even if it is a case where the number of the electric wires 15 is larger than the number of the electric wires 15 which comprise the electric wire group 11 of 1 row, the damming part 13B with high water countermeasure performance, without producing the resin unfilled space 70. Can be configured.

また、図11の(b)に示したワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造における堰き止め部13Cは、互いに合体するための係合部であるロック機構26がそれぞれ一体成形された一対の堰き止め部材(堰き止め部)13g,13hを合体することにより構成されている。
ロック機構26は、堰き止め部材13gの両側面に突設されたロックアーム22と、堰き止め部材13hの両側面に突設されたロック突起24とから成り、ロックアーム22がロック突起24に係止ロックされることにより、堰き止め部材13gと堰き止め部材13hが直接組合わされて堰き止め部13Cを構成している。
また、本実施形態の堰き止め部13Cの両側面には、一対のロック機構26が対角位置に設けられているが、二対以上のロック機構26を堰き止め部13Cの両側面に設けることもできる。
In addition, the damming portion 13C in the wire harness water-filling structure shown in FIG. 11 (b) is a pair of damming members (in which lock mechanisms 26 that are engaging portions for uniting with each other are integrally formed) The damming portion) 13g and 13h are combined.
The lock mechanism 26 includes a lock arm 22 projecting on both sides of the damming member 13g and a lock projection 24 projecting on both sides of the damming member 13h. The lock arm 22 is engaged with the lock projection 24. By being locked, the damming member 13g and the damming member 13h are directly combined to form the damming portion 13C.
In addition, a pair of lock mechanisms 26 are provided diagonally on both side surfaces of the damming portion 13C of the present embodiment, but two or more pairs of lock mechanisms 26 are provided on both side surfaces of the damming portion 13C. You can also.

そこで、このワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造では、それぞれ電線群11に一体にモールド成形された一対の堰き止め部材13g,13hを合体することで、複数の電線群11が、電線15の並び方向に交差する方向に離間して複数の段数で配置される。これにより、電線15の数が一列の電線群11を構成する電線15の数よりも多い場合であっても、樹脂未充填空間70を生じさせることなく、水入り対策性能の高い堰き止め部13Cを構成することが可能となる。   Therefore, in this wire harness countermeasure against water entry, the plurality of wire groups 11 are arranged in the direction in which the wires 15 are arranged by combining the pair of damming members 13g and 13h that are integrally molded with the wire group 11 respectively. A plurality of stages are arranged apart from each other in the intersecting direction. Thereby, even if it is a case where the number of the electric wires 15 is larger than the number of the electric wires 15 which comprise the electric wire group 11 of 1 row, the dam part 13C with high water countermeasure performance, without producing the resin unfilled space 70. Can be configured.

なお、それぞれの堰き止め部材13d,13e(13g,13h)は、複数の電線群11の延在方向の一部分を包囲するように一体にモールド成形された後、合体されて堰き止め部13B(13C)としてワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造を構成するので、合体される堰き止め部材13d,13e(13g,13h)には、嵌合方向が規定される場合がある。そこで、堰き止め部材13d,13e(13g,13h)には、非対称のリブ突起とリブ収容凹部などから成る誤嵌合防止機構を設けることもできる。
更に、合体して構成される堰き止め部は、それぞれ係合部が一体成形された3つ以上の堰き止め部を互いに直接組合わせて構成することもできる。
The respective damming members 13d, 13e (13g, 13h) are integrally molded so as to surround a part of the extending direction of the plurality of electric wire groups 11, and then combined to form a damming portion 13B (13C). ) Is configured as a countermeasure against water entry of the wire harness, the fitting direction may be defined for the damming members 13d and 13e (13g and 13h) to be combined. Therefore, the damming members 13d and 13e (13g and 13h) may be provided with an erroneous fitting prevention mechanism including an asymmetric rib protrusion and a rib receiving recess.
Further, the damming portion formed by combining them may be configured by directly combining three or more damming portions, each of which is integrally formed with the engaging portion.

また、図12の(a),(b)に示したワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造における堰き止め部13Dは、電線群挿通部19の内周形状に応じた外周形状部17と、電線群11の延在方向に沿った一対の側面13a,13bとを有するように一体にモールド成形されている。そして、堰き止め部13Dの側面13aからは電線15の突出部15aが突出し、堰き止め部13Dの側面13bからは電線15の突出部15bが突出しており、突出部15aの中心軸線C1と突出部15bの中心軸線C2とは、互いに高さ方向(図中、上下方向)に寸法h分だけずれて配置されている。   In addition, the damming portion 13D in the wire harness water-proofing structure shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B includes an outer peripheral shape portion 17 corresponding to the inner peripheral shape of the electric wire group insertion portion 19 and the electric wire group 11. Are integrally molded so as to have a pair of side surfaces 13a and 13b along the extending direction. And the protrusion part 15a of the electric wire 15 protrudes from the side surface 13a of the damming part 13D, the protrusion part 15b of the electric wire 15 protrudes from the side surface 13b of the damming part 13D, and the central axis C1 of the protrusion part 15a and the protrusion part The central axis C2 of 15b is arranged so as to be shifted by a dimension h in the height direction (vertical direction in the drawing).

そこで、堰き止め部13Dに埋設された各電線15は真っ直ぐになることはなく、ある程度自由に曲りくねることで摩擦力が増え、電線15が一直線に埋設されたものに比べて電線15の引抜き荷重に対する堰き止め部13Dの保持力が高まる。そこで、堰き止め部13Dは、電線15の被覆との接着性がある材料を選定しなくとも、電線15の引抜き荷重に対する保持力を向上させることができる。   Therefore, each electric wire 15 embedded in the damming portion 13D does not become straight, but the frictional force increases by bending freely to some extent, and the pulling load of the electric wire 15 is larger than that in which the electric wire 15 is embedded in a straight line. The retaining force of the damming portion 13D against the height increases. Therefore, the damming portion 13D can improve the holding force against the drawing load of the electric wire 15 without selecting a material having adhesiveness with the coating of the electric wire 15.

また、図13に示したワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造における堰き止め部13Eは、堰き止め部13Eにおける電線群11の延在方向に沿った一対の側面13a,13bを貫通して各側面13a,13bからそれぞれ突出する電線15の各突出部15a,15bの中心軸線C1,C2が、互いに幅方向(図13中、上下方向)に寸法s分だけずれて配置されている。   Moreover, the damming portion 13E in the water harness countermeasure structure shown in FIG. 13 penetrates the pair of side surfaces 13a and 13b along the extending direction of the wire group 11 in the damming portion 13E, and each side surface 13a, The central axes C1 and C2 of the projecting portions 15a and 15b of the electric wire 15 projecting from 13b are arranged so as to be shifted from each other by the dimension s in the width direction (vertical direction in FIG. 13).

そこで、堰き止め部13Eに埋設された各電線15は真っ直ぐになることはなく、ある程度自由に曲りくねることで摩擦力が増え、電線15が一直線に埋設されたものに比べて電線15の引抜き荷重に対する堰き止め部13Dの保持力が高まる。
即ち、電線15の各突出部15a,15bは、中心軸線C1,C2が一直線上に配置されないようにずれていればよく、ずれる方向は上述の高さ方向や幅方向に限定されない。
Therefore, each electric wire 15 embedded in the damming portion 13E does not become straight, but the frictional force increases by bending freely to some extent, so that the drawing load of the electric wire 15 is larger than that in which the electric wire 15 is embedded in a straight line. The retaining force of the damming portion 13D against the height increases.
That is, each protrusion part 15a, 15b of the electric wire 15 should just slip | deviate so that center axis line C1, C2 may not be arrange | positioned on a straight line, and the direction to shift is not limited to the above-mentioned height direction and width direction.

なお、これら堰き止め部13D,13Eをモールド成形する際には、上述した成形型33(図6、参照)における上型51と下型53に形成されて電線群11を挟むバリきり55の形成位置が、電線群11の延在方向に沿ったキャビティ57の外側両端部分で互いにオフセットされていればよい。そして、バリきり55で外側両端部が挟まれた電線15のキャビティ57内での位置は正確に固定する必要がなく、電線15はキャビティ57内で真っ直ぐになることはない。   When these damming portions 13D and 13E are molded, the burrs 55 formed on the upper mold 51 and the lower mold 53 in the above-described molding mold 33 (see FIG. 6) and sandwiching the wire group 11 are formed. The position should just be offset mutually in the outer both ends part of the cavity 57 along the extension direction of the electric wire group 11. FIG. And the position in the cavity 57 of the electric wire 15 by which the outer both ends were pinched | interposed with the burr hole 55 does not need to be fixed correctly, and the electric wire 15 does not become straight in the cavity 57. FIG.

図14に示した本発明の参考例に係るワイヤハーネスは、電線15と、電線15の延在方向の一部分を包囲するように硬質樹脂材により一体にモールド成形された電線埋入体113と、を備える。
電線埋入体113は、電線15が一体にモールド成形されるクランプや電線保護部材等の各種製品の一部を構成しており、電線15の延在方向に沿った一対の側面113a,113bを有するように一体にモールド成形されている。そして、電線埋入体113の側面113aからは電線15の突出部15aが突出し、電線埋入体113の側面113bからは電線15の突出部15bが突出しており、突出部15aの中心軸線C1と突出部15bの中心軸線C2とは、互いに高さ方向(図14中、上下方向)にずれて配置されている。
The wire harness according to the reference example of the present invention shown in FIG. 14 includes an electric wire 15 and an electric wire embedded body 113 integrally molded with a hard resin material so as to surround a part of the extending direction of the electric wire 15. Is provided.
The wire embedding body 113 constitutes a part of various products such as a clamp and a wire protection member in which the wire 15 is integrally molded, and includes a pair of side surfaces 113a and 113b along the extending direction of the wire 15. It is molded integrally so as to have. And the protrusion part 15a of the electric wire 15 protrudes from the side surface 113a of the electric wire embedding body 113, and the protrusion part 15b of the electric wire 15 protrudes from the side surface 113b of the electric wire embedding body 113, and the central axis C1 of the protrusion part 15a and The protrusion 15b is arranged so as to be shifted from the central axis C2 in the height direction (vertical direction in FIG. 14).

そこで、電線埋入体113に埋設された電線15は真っ直ぐになることはなく、ある程度自由に曲りくねることで摩擦力が増え、電線15が一直線に埋設されたものに比べて電線15の引抜き荷重に対する電線埋入体113の保持力が高まる。そこで、電線埋入体113は、電線15の被覆との接着性がある材料を選定しなくとも、電線15の引抜き荷重に対する保持力を向上させることができる。   Therefore, the electric wire 15 embedded in the electric wire embedded body 113 does not become straight, and the frictional force increases by bending freely to some extent, so that the extraction load of the electric wire 15 is larger than that in which the electric wire 15 is embedded in a straight line. The holding power of the electric wire embedded body 113 against increases. Therefore, the wire embedding body 113 can improve the holding force against the drawing load of the electric wire 15 without selecting a material having adhesiveness with the coating of the electric wire 15.

なお、電線埋入体113を備えた製品をモールド成形する際には、図示しない成形型における上型と下型に形成されて電線15を挟むバリきりの形成位置が、電線15の延在方向に沿ったキャビティの外側両端部分で互いにオフセットされていればよい。そして、バリきりで外側両端部が挟まれた電線15のキャビティ内での位置は正確に固定する必要がなく、電線15はキャビティ内で真っ直ぐになることはない。   When molding a product including the electric wire embedded body 113, the formation position of the burr formed between the upper die and the lower die in the molding die (not shown) and sandwiching the electric wire 15 is the extending direction of the electric wire 15. As long as they are offset from each other at the outer end portions of the cavity. And the position in the cavity of the electric wire 15 which the outer both ends were pinched by the burr | flash does not need to be fixed correctly, and the electric wire 15 does not become straight in the cavity.

従って、本実施形態に係るワイヤハーネスの水入り対策構造及びワイヤハーネスの製造方法によれば、電線群挿通部19から浸入する水入り量を容易に抑制できる。   Therefore, according to the wire harness countermeasure structure and the wire harness manufacturing method according to the present embodiment, the amount of water entering from the wire group insertion portion 19 can be easily suppressed.
