Waterproof structure of electrical junction box
View Patent ↗There is provided a waterproof structure for the electrical junction box includes a stepwise portion in which a punched hole has to be provided for molding a locking projection on a peripheral wall of a main-body case. The waterproof structure prevents intrusion of a droplet from an outside into the main-body case via the punched hole and thereby improves waterproof performance. An extended portion 37 d is provided on a left wall portion 22 of the main-body case 2 for moving the position of the punched hole which should be provided in the stepwise portion 35 toward the side of the locking projection 33 . A hole-sealing portion 47 a is provided at a edge portion 42 a of the left wall portion 42 of the cover 4 , the hole-sealing portion 47 a is configured to cover the entire opening of the punched hole 37 moved toward the side of the locking projection 33 in a state where the cover is attached to the main-body case 2.
1. A waterproof structure of an electrical junction box, the junction box including a plurality of connectors, a main-body case integrally resin-molded, and a cover integrally resin-molded, the main-body case and the cover being adapted to receive therein an electrical circuit board connected to the connectors, the cover being configured to be attached to the main-body case by a locking projection protruding on an outer surface of a peripheral wall of the main-body case brought into engagement with an engagement projection protruding on an inner surface of a peripheral wall of the cover, and at least one peripheral wall portion of the peripheral wall of the main-body case including a stepwise portion in which a punched hole is provided for molding of the locking projection, the stepwise portion provided below the locking projection, characterized in that a hole-sealing portion is provided at an edge portion of a wall portion of the cover, the wall portion of the cover corresponding to the at least one peripheral wall portion of the main-body case, and the hole-sealing portion is configured to close the punched hole formed on the stepwise portion of the main-body case when the cover is attached to the main-body case.
2. The waterproof structure of the electrical junction box as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the main-body case includes a connector extending across the stepwise portion, and the stepwise portion of the main-body case includes an extended portion configured to shift the punched hole to the side of the locking projection.
