Abstract

The present invention is to provide an electric junction box which can minimize a case by reducing the capacity of a cover without damage of electric wires. A wiring harness L 2 guided from a power integration 3 arranged at a position nearest a guide portion is guided to a guide portion through a gap between a partition wall 42 A and a lower cover 5 . Further, a wiring harness L 1 guided from another cassette block 2 is guided to the guide portion through gaps between the partition walls 42 A- 42 C and peripheral walls 41 A, 41 E, 41 F.

Claims (31)

1. An electric junction box comprising:

a case having a case body formed in a box shaped with a plurality of peripheral walls and a cover for covering an opening formed by edge portions of the peripheral walls;

a plurality of partition walls separating the case body into a plurality of sections within the electric junction box;

a block through which an electric wire is led out, the block being received in each section separated by the partition wall;

another block through which another electric wire is led out disposed in a separate section than the block and separated by at least one of the partition walls within the electric junction box;

a guide hole for guiding the electric wire to an outside of the case body, the guide hole being arranged in the case,

wherein the electric wire guided from the block is arranged along a first wiring path such that it passes through one of a gap between the partition wall and the peripheral wall and a gap between the partition walls, is held to one of the gap between the partition wall and the peripheral wall and the gap between the partition walls, and is guided to the guide hole,

wherein the another electric wire guided from the another block is arranged along a second wiring path such that it passes a space disposed between the plurality of partition walls and a bottom of the cover and is guided to the guide hole,

wherein the electric wire guided from the block does not follow the second wiring path, and the another electric wire guided from the another block does not follow the first wiring path, and

wherein height of the partition wall holding the electric wire is higher than height of the partition wall surrounding the other block.

2. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the held electric wire is consisted of an aluminum electric wire.

3. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guide hole communicates with the space defined by the plurality of partition walls in which the other block is received, the peripheral wall through which the electric wire led out through the block is passed, and the bottom of the cover.

4. An electric junction box comprising:

a case having a case body formed in a box shaped with a plurality of peripheral walls and a cover for covering an opening formed by edge portions of the peripheral walls;

a plurality of partition walls separating the case body into a plurality of sections within the electric junction box;

a block through which an electric wire is led out, the block being received in each section separated by the partition wall;

another block through which another electric wire is led out disposed in a separate section than the block and separated by at least one of the partition walls within the electric junction box;

a guide hole for guiding the electric wire to an outside of the case body, the guide hole being arranged in the case,

wherein the electric wire guided from the block is passed through one of a gap between the partition wall and the peripheral wall and a gap between the partition walls, held to one of the gap between the partition wall and the peripheral wall and the gap between the partition walls, and guided to the guide hole such that it is prevented from being pushed into a space disposed between the plurality of partition walls and a bottom of the cover,

wherein the another electric wire guided from the another block passes the space disposed between the plurality of partition walls and the bottom of the cover, and is guided to the guide hole,

wherein a wiring path of the one electric wire guided from the one block to the guide hole is different from a wiring path of the another electric wire guided from the another block to the guide hole, and

wherein height of the partition wall holding the electric wire is higher than height of the partition wall surrounding the other block.

5. An electric junction box comprising:

a case having a case body formed in a box shaped with a plurality of peripheral walls and a cover for covering an opening formed by edge portions of the peripheral walls;

a plurality of partition walls separating the case body into a plurality of sections within the electric junction box;

a block through which an electric wire is led out, the block being received in each section separated by the partition wall;

another block through which another electric wire is led out disposed in a separate section than the block and separated by the plurality of partition walls within the electric junction box to form a wiring path of the another electric wire to the guide hole that is different than a wiring path of the one electric wire guided from the one block to the guide hole;

a guide hole for guiding the electric wire to an outside of the case body, the guide hole being arranged in the case,

wherein the electric wire guided from the block is passed through one of a gap between the partition wall and the peripheral wall and a gap between the partition walls, and held to one of the gap between the partition wall and the peripheral wall and the gap between the partition walls, and the electric wire is guided to the guide hole,

herein the another electric wire guided from the another block passes a space disposed between the plurality of partition walls and a bottom of the cover, and is guided to the guide hole wherein a wiring path of the one electric wire guided from the one block to the guide hole is different from a wiring path of the another electric wire guided from the another block to the guide hole, and

wherein height of the partition wall holding the electric wire is higher than height of the partition wall surrounding the other block.
