　特許文献１に記載のバッテリ端子の被水防止構造では、バッテリ端子の被水を防止するために、非連続気泡のスポンジゴム材によって形成された弾性カバー部材が、カバー取付状態においてケーブルの外周面に沿って円弧状に弾性変形する。非連続気泡のスポンジゴム材は、連続気泡のスポンジゴム材に比べて変形し難い性質を有するので、カバー取付状態においてケーブルの外周面に沿って弾性変形した弾性カバー部材が、バッテリカバーを上方へ押圧し、バッテリカバーが上方へ膨出するように変形してしまう可能性がある。また、連続気泡のスポンジゴム材に比べて変形し難い性質を有する非連続気泡のスポンジゴム材の弾性カバー部材がケーブルの外周面に沿って円弧状に弾性変形すると、ケーブルの両側の弾性カバー部材がバッテリの上面から浮いてしまう可能性があり、弾性カバー部材とバッテリとの間に隙間が生じて所望の被水防止性能を発揮できないおそれがある。このように、弾性カバー部材の材質によっては、カバー取付状態においてバッテリカバーが変形して所望の被水防止性能を確保することができないおそれがある。 In the water-preventing structure of the battery terminal described in Patent Document 1, in order to prevent the battery terminal from being covered with water, the elastic cover member formed of the sponge rubber material of the discontinuous bubble is the outer peripheral surface of the cable in the cover mounted state. Elastically deform in an arc shape along the Since the non-continuous foam sponge rubber material has the property of being less likely to be deformed as compared to the open-cell sponge rubber material, the elastic cover member elastically deformed along the outer peripheral surface of the cable in the cover attached state has the battery cover upward. When pressed, the battery cover may be deformed to bulge upward. Further, when the elastic cover member of the non-continuous-cell sponge rubber material having the property of being difficult to deform as compared with the continuous-cell sponge rubber material is elastically deformed in an arc along the outer peripheral surface of the cable, the elastic cover members on both sides of the cable However, there is a possibility that a gap may be generated between the elastic cover member and the battery to make it impossible to exhibit the desired water protection performance. As described above, depending on the material of the elastic cover member, there is a possibility that the battery cover may be deformed in the cover attached state and the desired water-drop preventing performance can not be secured.
　そこで、本開示は、バッテリカバーの変形を抑制し、所望の被水防止性能を確保することが可能なバッテリ端子の被水防止構造の提供を目的とする。 Therefore, the present disclosure aims to provide a water coverage prevention structure of a battery terminal capable of suppressing deformation of a battery cover and securing desired water coverage prevention performance.
　上記課題を解決するため、本発明の第１の態様は、車体フレームに対して固定されるバッテリの上面に設けられてケーブルが接続されるバッテリ端子の被水防止構造であって、バッテリカバーと弾性カバー部材とを備える。バッテリカバーは、車体フレームに対して固定されたカバー取付状態でバッテリの上面及びバッテリ端子を上方から覆う。弾性カバー部材は、弾性を有し、バッテリカバーに固定され、カバー取付状態においてケーブルの上方をケーブルと交叉して延びる。弾性カバー部材のうちカバー取付状態においてケーブルと交叉する部分には、下方へ開放されてケーブルの挿通を許容する切欠部が形成される。カバー取付状態において、弾性カバー部材の切欠部を構成する下面は、ケーブルの外周面に沿って弾性変形してケーブルに上方から密着する。カバー取付状態において、弾性カバー部材は、ケーブルが延びる横方向からバッテリ端子を覆う。 In order to solve the above problems, a first aspect of the present invention is a structure for preventing water in a battery terminal provided on an upper surface of a battery fixed to a vehicle body frame and connected with a cable, comprising: And an elastic cover member. The battery cover covers the upper surface of the battery and the battery terminal from above in a cover mounted state fixed to the vehicle body frame. The elastic cover member is elastic, is fixed to the battery cover, and extends above the cable in a cover mounted state so as to cross the cable. In the portion of the elastic cover member that intersects with the cable in the cover mounted state, a notch that is opened downward and allows the cable to be inserted is formed. In the cover mounted state, the lower surface constituting the cutout of the elastic cover member elastically deforms along the outer peripheral surface of the cable and adheres to the cable from above. In the cover mounted state, the elastic cover member covers the battery terminal from the lateral direction in which the cable extends.
　上記構成では、カバー取付状態において、バッテリカバーは、上方からバッテリ端子を覆い、弾性カバー部材は、ケーブルが延びる横方向からバッテリ端子を覆う。また、弾性カバー部材のうちカバー取付状態においてケーブルと交叉する部分には、下方へ開放されてケーブルの挿通を許容する切欠部が形成され、カバー取付状態において切欠部を構成する下面は、ケーブルの外周面に沿って弾性変形してケーブルに上方から密着する。従って、上方及び横方向からのバッテリ端子の被水をバッテリカバー及び弾性カバー部材によって防止することができる。 In the above configuration, in the cover mounted state, the battery cover covers the battery terminal from above, and the elastic cover member covers the battery terminal from the lateral direction in which the cable extends. Further, in the portion of the elastic cover member that intersects with the cable in the cover attachment state, a notch that is opened downward to allow insertion of the cable is formed, and the lower surface that constitutes the notch in the cover attachment state is the cable It elastically deforms along the outer peripheral surface and adheres to the cable from above. Therefore, the battery cover and the elastic cover member can prevent the battery terminals from being flooded from above and in the lateral direction.
　また、弾性カバー部材のうちカバー取付状態においてケーブルと交叉する部分には、下方へ開放されてケーブルの挿通を許容する切欠部が形成されるので、カバー取付状態においてケーブルの外周面に沿って弾性カバー部材が弾性変形した際に、弾性カバー部材に押圧されたバッテリカバーの上方への膨出するような変形を抑えることができる。 In addition, a portion of the elastic cover member that crosses with the cable in the cover attachment state is formed with a notch that is opened downward to allow insertion of the cable, so that elasticity along the outer peripheral surface of the cable in the cover attachment state When the cover member is elastically deformed, it is possible to suppress the upward deformation of the battery cover pressed by the elastic cover member.
　また、弾性カバー部材のうちカバー取付状態においてケーブルと交叉する部分に下方へ開放された切欠部を設け、切欠部を構成する下面がケーブルの外周面に沿って弾性変形してケーブルに上方から密着するので、弾性カバー部材に切欠部を設けることなく、弾性カバー部材の下端縁部をケーブルの外周面に沿って弾性変形させる場合に比べて、弾性カバー部材の変形量を抑えることができ、弾性カバー部材の捲れ等による弾性カバー部材の下端縁部とバッテリとの間の隙間の発生を抑制することができる。 In addition, a notch opened downward to the portion of the elastic cover member that intersects with the cable in the cover mounted state is provided, and the lower surface constituting the notch is elastically deformed along the outer peripheral surface of the cable and adheres to the cable from above Therefore, the amount of deformation of the elastic cover member can be suppressed as compared with the case where the lower end edge of the elastic cover member is elastically deformed along the outer peripheral surface of the cable without providing the cutout portion in the elastic cover member. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a gap between the battery and the lower end edge of the elastic cover member due to the curling of the cover member or the like.
　また、ケーブルをバッテリ端子に接続した後、弾性カバー部材が固定されたバッテリカバーを取り付ければよいので、例えば、バッテリカバーに円形開口を設け、この円形開口にグロメット等を装着した状態でケーブルを挿通させる場合とは異なり、組付け作業性が良い。 Also, after the cable is connected to the battery terminal, the battery cover to which the elastic cover member is fixed may be attached. For example, the battery cover is provided with a circular opening, and the cable is inserted while the grommet is attached to the circular opening. Unlike in the case where it is used, the assembling work is good.
　本発明の第２の態様は、上記第１の態様の被水防止構造であって、弾性カバー部材の上下方向の高さが、ケーブルの外径よりも大きく設定され、カバー取付状態において、切欠部を除く弾性カバー部材の下端縁部が、バッテリの上面に密着する。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the water prevention structure according to the first aspect, the height of the elastic cover member in the vertical direction is set larger than the outer diameter of the cable, and the notch is notched when the cover is attached. The lower end edge of the elastic cover member except the portion is in close contact with the upper surface of the battery.
　上記構成では、カバー取付状態において、切欠部を除く弾性カバー部材の下端縁部が、バッテリの上面に密着するので、バッテリ端子に対する横方向からの被水をさらに確実に防止することができる。 In the above configuration, the lower end edge portion of the elastic cover member excluding the notch portion is in close contact with the upper surface of the battery in the cover attached state, so that it is possible to more reliably prevent water in the lateral direction with respect to the battery terminal.
　また、カバー取付状態において、切欠部を除く弾性カバー部材の下端縁部がバッテリの上面に密着するので、ケーブルは、バッテリの上面と弾性カバー部材の切欠部とによって区画される空間を挿通する。このため、ケーブルの剛性が低く、振動等によってケーブルが移動する可能性がある場合、ケーブルの移動範囲を弾性カバー部材の切欠部内に抑制することができる。 Further, in the cover mounted state, the lower end edge of the elastic cover member excluding the notch closely contacts the upper surface of the battery, so the cable passes through the space defined by the upper surface of the battery and the notch of the elastic cover member. For this reason, when the rigidity of the cable is low and the cable may move due to vibration or the like, the moving range of the cable can be suppressed within the notch of the elastic cover member.
　本発明の第３の態様は、上記第１の態様または上記第２の態様の被水防止構造であって、弾性カバー部材の切欠部の幅が、ケーブルの外径よりも大きく設定される。 A third aspect of the present invention is the water-preventing structure of the first aspect or the second aspect, wherein the width of the notch of the elastic cover member is set larger than the outer diameter of the cable.
　上記構成では、弾性カバー部材の切欠部の幅が、ケーブルの外径よりも大きく設定されるので、バッテリカバーをカバー取付状態にする際に、弾性カバー部材の切欠部に対してケーブルを容易に挿通させることができ、組付け作業性が良い。 In the above configuration, the width of the notch of the elastic cover member is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the cable. Therefore, when the battery cover is in the cover attachment state, the cable can be easily attached to the notch of the elastic cover member. It can be inserted and has good assembly workability.
　本発明の第４の態様は、上記第１～上記第３の態様のいずれかの被水防止構造であって、弾性カバー部材が、柔軟性を有する非連続気泡のスポンジゴム材で形成される。 A fourth aspect of the present invention is the water-preventing structure according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the elastic cover member is formed of a non-continuous-cell sponge rubber material having flexibility. .
　非連続気泡とは、連続気泡以外の独立気泡又は半連続気泡である。また、柔軟性を有するとは、カバー取付状態においてケーブルの外周面に沿って湾曲状に弾性変形する程度の柔軟性を有することである。 Discontinuous cells are closed cells or semi-open cells other than open cells. Moreover, having flexibility means having flexibility to such an extent that it is elastically deformed in a curved shape along the outer peripheral surface of the cable in the cover attached state.
　上記構成では、弾性カバー部材が、柔軟性を有する非連続気泡のスポンジゴム材で形成されるので、連続気泡のスポンジゴム材に比べて防水性が高く、その分だけ確実にバッテリ端子の被水を防止することができる。 In the above configuration, since the elastic cover member is formed of the flexible non-continuous foam sponge rubber material, the waterproof property is higher than that of the open-cell sponge rubber material, and the water of the battery terminal can be reliably drained accordingly Can be prevented.
　本開示によれば、バッテリカバーの変形を抑制し、所望の被水防止性能を確保することができる。 According to the present disclosure, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the battery cover and secure the desired water-preventing performance.

Thus, it is possible to suppress the generation of the gap between the lower end edge portions 36 and 39 of the elastic cover members 30b and 30c and the upper surface 3a of the battery 3 due to the turning of the elastic cover members 30b and 30c.
　また、カバー取付状態において、ケーブル挿通部３７，４５，４６を除く弾性カバー部材３０ｂ，３０ｃの下端縁部３６，３９が、バッテリ３の上面３ａに密着するので、バッテリ端子１４，１５に対する後方及び車幅方向内側からの被水をさらに確実に防止することができる。 Further, since the lower end edges 36, 39 of the elastic cover members 30b, 30c excluding the cable insertion portions 37, 45, 46 are in close contact with the upper surface 3a of the battery 3 in the cover attached state, Flooding from the inside in the vehicle width direction can be further reliably prevented.
　また、弾性カバー部材３０ｂ，３０ｃが、柔軟性を有する非連続気泡のスポンジゴム材によって形成されるので、連続気泡のスポンジゴム材に比べて防水性が高く、その分だけ確実にバッテリ端子の被水を防止することができる。 Further, since the elastic cover members 30b and 30c are formed of the non-continuous foam sponge rubber material having flexibility, the waterproof property is higher than that of the open-cell sponge rubber material, and the battery terminal is reliably covered by that amount. Water can be prevented.
　従って、本実施形態によれば、バッテリカバー２０の変形を抑制し、所望の被水防止性能を確保することができる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the battery cover 20 and to secure the desired water-preventing performance.
