Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a wire protector for protecting wire bundles such as electric wires, wire harnesses, and optical fiber cables.

[Conventional technology]

Vehicles are equipped with a large number of electrical components, and the wire harnesses and the like that are wired to these components are also becoming enormous.
Therefore, these wire harnesses and other wire bodies are appropriately bundled and housed in a protector to protect the wire harnesses.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show conventional examples of such protectors. In the figure, side walls 1' at both ends of the bottom surface 1,
1' stands upright, forming a protector main body 2 having a U-shaped cross section. A lid 3 is detachably attached to the main body 2 by a locking mechanism (not shown) to form a protector, and a wire harness 8 is housed inside. A clamp 4 is erected on the outside of the bottom 1 of the main body, and is fitted into a hole 10 drilled in a panel 9 of a vehicle or the like by pushing it with a hand or finger, thereby fixing the protector. .

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, with such a protector, the clamp 4 is not visible when it is attached to the vehicle panel 9, and even when the cover body 3 is pressed, no force is applied directly to the clamp, making the work difficult and causing problems such as forgetting to mate or half-fitting the protector. This has the disadvantage of causing mating problems. Furthermore, if the protector is not fully filled with wire harnesses, not only will the force F not be transmitted to the clamp, but the lid body 3 will be deformed as shown in Figure 5, making it even more difficult to fit. There are also some drawbacks.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and its object is to provide a protector in which the pushing force for fitting is directly transmitted to the clamp.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a protector body having a U-shaped cross section, which is composed of a bottom surface and side walls erected on both sides of the bottom surface, and a lid body that is locked to the side walls by a locking mechanism. and a protector having a clamp erected on the outside of the bottom surface, wherein a post extending from the clamp is provided on the inside of the bottom face, and a recess into which the tip of the post abuts and fits is provided in the lid body. It is characterized by a configuration in which a convex portion corresponding to the concave portion is formed on the outside of the lid body as a pressing portion.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, side walls 1' on both sides of the bottom surface 1,
1' is erected to form a protector main body 2 having a U-shaped cross section. A clamp 4 is erected on the bottom surface 1 of the protector body 2, and a support 5 is erected inside the protector body 2 at a position corresponding to the clamp 4 facing toward the lid body 3. That is, as shown in FIG.
It is molded by means such as resin injection molding, including those in which it is integrated. The tip of the support column 5 fits into a recess 7 formed in the lid 3, and a protrusion 6 serving as a pressing portion is formed at a position on the outside of the lid 3 corresponding to the recess 7.

The lid 3 and main body 2 are locked together as shown in Fig. 2.
This is accomplished by fitting a locking protrusion 1a provided on the main body 2 into a locking hole 3a provided on the lid body 3.

Figure 2 shows the wire harness 8 routed to the protector and the lid 3 attached.Since the lid 3 has a protrusion 6, the location of the clamp 4 can be seen at a glance. Therefore, if this protrusion 6 is pushed with a force F, a force F will be applied directly to the clamp 4, and the protector will be fixed in a predetermined position on the panel.

Note that even if there is no recess 7 or protrusion 6 of the lid 3 in the embodiment of the present invention, if the tip of the support 5 is in contact with the lid 3, the force pushing the lid 3 will be exerted by the support 5. It directly joins the clamp 4 and can prevent half-fitting.

Further, as long as the protector has a straight shape, the lid body 3 may have a structure in which one side is joined to the main body 2 by a hinge.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, a support is provided inside the protector corresponding to the clamp that attaches the protector to the hole in the panel, and a pressing part is provided on the outside of the lid body corresponding to the position of the support. Therefore, the clamp position can be easily seen even from the opposite side of the clamp, and when the pressing part is pressed, the force is directly transmitted to the clamp, making it easier to fit the clamp. At the same time, it has the special effect of being able to prevent poor fitting such as half-fitting between the clamp and the panel hole.
