Electrical junction box
View Patent ↗A relay part is housed in a case, a fuse mounting part is provided above the relay part in the case and a fuse is attached/detached to/from the fuse mounting part from above the case. In the case, provided are an internal cover and a bus bar supporting resin body, which cover the periphery of the relay part. A drainage channel is provided in outer surfaces of the internal cover and the bus bar supporting resin body. In addition, a drainage hole which drains water flowing through the drainage channel to the outside of the case is provided in the case. The drainage channel includes an upper groove which is formed in an upper surface of the bus bar supporting resin body and has an inclined surface on its bottom and a side groove which is communicated with a lowest portion of the inclined surface of the upper groove and is formed on a side of the internal cover.
1. An electrical junction box comprising:
a case;
a relay part housed in the case;
a fuse mounting part which is provided above the relay part in the case, the fuse mounting part allowing a fuse to be attached/detached to/from the fuse mounting part;
a watertight wall which is provided in the case and covers a periphery of the relay part;
a drainage channel through which water flows downward, the drainage channel being provided in an outer surface of the watertight wall; and
a drainage hole which is provided in the case and drains the water flowing through the drainage channel to an outside of the case.
2. The electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein
the drainage channel includes an upper groove which is formed in an upper surface of the outside of the watertight wall, allows water entering through the fuse mounting part to flow therein and has an inclined surface on its bottom and a side groove which is communicated with a lowest portion of the inclined surface of the upper groove and is formed in a lateral surface of the watertight wall.
3. The electrical junction box according to claim 2 , wherein
the drainage hole comprises a lower-side drainage hole which is opened in a lowest position of the side groove.
4. The electrical junction box according to claim 3 , wherein
the drainage hole comprises an upper-side drainage hole which is opened in a lowest position of the inclined surface.
5. The electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein
the watertight wall includes a bus bar supporting resin body which supports the second bus bar and an internal cover which is attached on the relay part side of the bus bar supporting resin body.
6. The electrical junction box according to claim 5 , wherein
in an area where the bus bar supporting resin body and the internal cover overlap with each other, a substantially wedge-shaped space extending downward is formed by the bus bar supporting resin body and the internal cover.
