2. Description of the Related Art A harness for connecting to a vehicle-mounted television, a radio or the like has a noise removal coil inserted in the middle thereof.
Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture a harness with a coil in which one end of the harness is connected to one end of the coil. Then, in the conventional method of connecting the harness and the coil, in order to perform the connection process easily, one end of the harness and the coil to be connected are generally inserted from both sides of a cylindrical sleeve having both ends opened, and the sleeve is inserted in that state. The harness and the coil are crushed and crushed from the side surface, and the harness and the coil are integrated and fixed by clamping the ends of the harness and the coil with the inner peripheral surfaces of the crushed sleeve which face each other.

However, since the harness is a stranded wire, but the coil is a single wire, the adhesive force is weak only by crimping the cylindrical sleeve, and it is detached when pulled in the axial direction. Therefore, after being fixed (temporarily fixed) using the sleeve as described above, the sleeve is also fixed by soldering.

However, the above-mentioned conventional ones have the following various problems. First, when connecting the coil and the harness, soldering must be performed after temporarily fixing using a sleeve, which makes the work complicated. Also, the coil and harness are inserted into the cylindrical sleeve from both sides, but the inside of the sleeve cannot be seen, and the insertion and connection of both wires (superposition)
It is not possible to confirm whether or not

Further, if the inner diameter of the sleeve is large, play occurs when both wires are inserted into the sleeve, it is difficult to maintain a predetermined positional relationship, and the clamping pressure when the sleeve is crimped becomes small. On the other hand, if the inner diameter of the sleeve is reduced, it becomes difficult to insert both wires, and it takes time.

Further, since it is necessary to wire the harness without slack in the vehicle, it is necessary to make the length of the harness a predetermined size. More specifically, in general, the other end of the harness (the end on the side opposite to the coil connection part) is attached with a connector for connection with other harnesses or electrical components, so that the connection connector is used to protect the case. The distance to the edge of the must be a fixed dimension. But,
In the case of the conventional protective case, it consists of a cylindrical outer peripheral side wall part and both end wall faces (there is a hole through which a wire is inserted in the center), and the shape and dimensions of the solder part change each time (for each product). Therefore, the length and diameter of the protective case are increased with a certain margin. Therefore, the coil or the like and the protective case are likely to move relative to each other, which may make it impossible to perform the predetermined dimensions.

Next, an embodiment of a method of connecting the end portion 3a (single wire) of the coil 3 and the harness (stranded wire 2b) 2 will be described.
The description will be made with reference to FIG. 8 and subsequent figures. First, the connection fitting 4 used in this example has a substantially V-shape (a U-shape may be used) in which both ends 4a are opened by bending a flat plate at a predetermined angle from the center and raising both ends 4a. Use one. Then, the end portion (coil lead) 3b of the coil 3 which is a single wire is first placed on the bottom portion 4b of the V-shaped connecting fitting 4, and the exposed end portion (harness lead) of the twisted wire 2a of the harness 2 is placed thereon. (See FIG. 8 and FIG. 11A).

Next, both ends 4a of the connecting fitting 4 are biased inward and bent (folded) to bring the both ends 4a into contact with each other (FIGS. 9 and 11B). As a result, the connection fitting 4 is closed in a ring shape as shown in the drawing. Further, in this example, both ends 4a of the connection fitting 4 are bent in a substantially arc shape, but at the time of this bending, the both ends 4a are urged to crush the exposed stranded wire 2a. As a result, the stranded wire 2a is broken as shown in the drawing, and the connection fitting 4
Of the coil 3 and is also located around the end 3a of the coil 3. However, a slight gap is formed between the stranded wire 2 a, the end portion 3 a of the coil 3 and the inner peripheral surface of the connection fitting 4.

In this state, the bottom portion 4b of the connection fitting 4 is urged upward (toward the tip portion 4a), and the sharp bottom portion 4b is flattened (see FIGS. 10 and 11C). Then, as shown in the drawing, the connecting fitting 4 is deformed into a substantially semicircular cross section, and has a half cross sectional area as compared with the cross sectional area before crushing the bottom portion 4b shown in FIG. 11 (B). Therefore, FIG.
As shown in (C), the stranded wire 2a is separated from the coil 3
In the space between the periphery of the end portion 3a and the inner peripheral surface of the connecting fitting 4, there is no gap and they are in close contact with each other. In other words, the end 3 of the coil 3
a and the stranded wire 2a of the harness 2 are crimped by receiving a clamping force from the inner peripheral surfaces of the both end portions 4a and the bottom portion 4b of the connection fitting 4. Since the stranded wire 2a is thus arranged without a gap, the urging force from the crushed connection fitting 4 does not escape and is efficiently applied to the stranded wire 2a and the end 3a of the coil 3, so that the stranded wire 2a And the end 3a are firmly connected, and the harness 2 and the coil 3 are securely connected and integrated. Since the bonding force between the two is strong in this way, it is not necessary to use solder or the like, and the connecting portion is not only extremely miniaturized because of the existence of the connecting fitting 4 as shown in the drawing. Since the external dimensions are also fixed (in the case of solder, the external dimensions vary depending on the attachment), the dimensional accuracy can be obtained with high accuracy. Moreover, in a state in which the end portion 3a of the coil 3 and the stranded wire 2a of the harness 2 are inserted and arranged in the connecting fitting 4 with both ends 4a opened, the connecting fitting 4
Since it is only necessary to squeeze (crimp) the respective parts in a predetermined direction, the connecting fitting 4 can be arranged at a position accurately spaced from the other end of the harness 2 (for example, the connector 6). The dimensioning accuracy is further improved.

Furthermore, when the bottom portion 4b is crushed, a tool for crushing is applied to the central portion of the bottom portion 4b, so that FIG. 10 (B), FIG. 11 (C) and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, a convex portion 4c is formed such that the center of the flatly deformed bottom portion 4b further protrudes upward (to the end portion 3a side of the coil 3). Along with the formation of the convex portion 4c, the facing portion of the end portion 3a of the coil 3 is further crushed inside to form the concave portion 3b. Then, since the side surface 3c around the concave portion 3b and the side surface 4d of the convex portion 4c of the connection fitting 4 come into contact with each other, even if tensile stress is generated in the axial direction, the both side surfaces 3c and 4d are locked to each other. , The end 3a of the coil 3 is suppressed from coming off from the connection fitting 4.

As described above, in the harness with coil and the protective case used therefor according to the present invention, the harness and the coil are connected only by crimping by crushing the connection fitting, so that the connection portion is miniaturized. With
There is no dimensional variation between products. Therefore, the protective case that covers them is also downsized. In addition, if the harness and coil are connected using a metal fitting at a position spaced a certain distance from the end (connector) on the side of the harness that is not connected to the coil, then it is possible to use soldering afterwards as in the past. Since the outer peripheral position of the connection part does not change and the position can be determined by the end portion of the connection fitting, it is possible to accurately perform a predetermined dimension such as the distance of the harness.

Further, in the method for connecting a single wire and a stranded wire according to the present invention, the connection between the harness and the coil can be performed easily and surely, and moreover, since both ends are open, the connection state can be confirmed. Then, a strong connection strength can be obtained by the crimping force generated by crushing the connection fittings.
Therefore, it is suitable for connecting the end (single wire) of the coil and the end (stranded wire) of the harness.
