Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a joint box having a sub-fuse box attachment portion in the case.

[Summary of the invention] The present invention provides a joint box having a sub-fuse box attachment part on the outer surface of the case, wherein an adapter is removably attached to the sub-fuse box attachment part, and the adapter is provided with a connector attachment part. This allows the connector to be attached via this adapter when a sub-fuse box is not required.

[Prior Art] As shown in FIG. 8, a conventional joint box 1 has a connector mounting portion 3 and a subfuse box mounting portion 4 on the side surface of a case 2 of the joint box 1. The peripheral connectors 5 and sub-fuse boxes 6 are attached to the corresponding attachment parts 3 and 4 so that these connectors 5 and sub-fuse boxes 6 do not hang around the joint box 1.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the case of such a structure, when the sub fuse box 6 is not needed, its mounting portion 4 is not used, and the connector 5 is attached thereto due to the compatibility of the mounting portion 4. Unfortunately, it couldn't be installed, so it had the disadvantage of creating wasted space.

An object of the present invention is to provide a joint box in which a connector can be attached to the sub-fuse box mounting portion when the sub-fuse box is not required.

[Means for solving the problems] The structure of the present invention to achieve the above purpose is as follows:
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, which correspond to embodiments, a joint box 1 according to the present invention will be described.
The adapter 7 is removably attached to the subfuse box attachment portion 4 provided on the outer surface of the case 2, and the connector attachment portion 15 is attached to the adapter 7.
It has been established.

[Operation of the invention] If the adapter 7 is detachably attached to the sub-fuse box attachment part 4 in this way, the connector 5 can be connected to the sub-fuse box attachment part 4 via the adapter 7 when the sub-fuse box 6 is not needed. When using the sub-fuse box 6, the adapter 7 can be removed and the sub-fuse box 6 can be installed.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. As shown in the figure, in the joint box 1 of this embodiment, a sub fuse box mounting portion 4 provided on the outer surface of the case 2 is provided.
An adapter 7 is removably attached to.

The sub fuse box mounting part 4 is attached to the case 2.
A pair of parallel brackets 8 are provided protruding from the side surfaces of the bracket 8, and grooves 9 are provided along the longitudinal direction on the outward facing plate surfaces of these brackets 8. It has a structure in which a lock protrusion 10 protrudes across this.

The adapter 7 is provided with a pair of enclosing fitting parts 12 on both ends of a plate-shaped base 11 into which each bracket 8 of the sub-fuse box mounting part 4 is fitted. These hugging fitting parts 12 have a C-shaped cross section, and are provided with a retaining part 13 at the upper end. A lock protrusion 14 is provided on the surface of the base body 11 adjacent to the entrance of the enclosing fitting part 12 so as to correspond to the groove 9 of the sub-fuse box attachment part 4. Further, the base body 11 is provided with a connector mounting portion 15 at the center of the surface opposite to the side on which the hugging fitting portion 12 is protruded. This connector mounting portion 15 has a lock arm portion 16 that is inserted into a hugging fitting portion (not shown) of the connector 5.
A lock recess 17 is provided in the connector 5, and a lock protrusion (not shown) of the connector 5 is engaged with the lock recess 17 for locking.

In such joint box 1,
When subfuse box 6 is not in use,
An adapter 7 is detachably attached to the sub-fuse box attaching portion 4 of the case 2. That is, each hugging fitting part 12 of the adapter 7 is attached to the bracket 8.
When the lock protrusion 14 is inserted into the groove 9 and pushed down, the lock protrusion 14 is fitted into the groove 9, descends, climbs over the lock protrusion 10, and enters the groove 9 downward, resulting in a locked state. The connector 5 is attached to the connector attaching portion 15 of the adapter 7 attached in this manner, and the locking recess 17 locks the connector 5. Therefore, according to the present invention, the connector 5 can be attached to the sub fuse box attaching portion 4 via the adapter 7.

When attaching the sub fuse box 6 to the sub fuse box attaching part 4, the adapter 7 can be removed from the sub fuse box attaching part 4.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, in the joint box according to the invention, the connector can be attached to the sub-fuse box attachment part via a detachable adapter, so when the sub-fuse box is not needed, A connector can be attached to the sub fuse box attachment part. You can make effective use of the joint box play space. Also,
When using the sub-fuse box, the sub-fuse box can be installed without any trouble by removing the adapter.
