Terminal protection cover and electrical junction box
View Patent ↗A terminal holding part of a terminal protection cover includes a pair of lateral shaking-preventing wall parts which stands from a terminal-attachment surface of the terminal protection cover, and has surfaces facing lateral end edge surfaces, respectively, of the bent plate-type terminal which is held therein. The terminal holding part further includes a first vertical shaking-preventing wall part and a second vertical shaking-preventing wall part provided at a position upwards from the first vertical shaking-preventing wall part. The second vertical shaking-preventing wall part has a surface which is on the same side as the tip end edge surface of the lateral shaking-preventing wall part, and which is formed to be recessed relative to the tip end edge surface at a certain position at least upwards from an end edge surface of the second vertical shaking-preventing wall part.
1. A terminal protection cover comprising a terminal holding part for holding a bent plate-type terminal formed by bending a plate-type conductive member at a right angle, wherein
the terminal holding part includes:
a pair of lateral shaking-preventing wall parts which stands from a terminal-attachment surface of the terminal protection cover, and have surfaces facing lateral end edge surfaces, respectively, of the bent plate-type terminal which is held therein;
a first vertical shaking-preventing wall part which is a first wall extending between tip end edges of the pair of the lateral shaking-preventing wall parts on a side toward which the lateral shaking-preventing wall parts stand, and has first end edge surfaces facing inner surfaces, respectively, of a leading-side bent part of the bent plate-type terminal which is held therein; and
a second vertical shaking-preventing wall part which is either a wall extending between the tip end edge surfaces of the pair of lateral shaking-preventing wall parts, or a pair of protruding walls extending from respective one of the tip end edge surfaces of the pair of lateral shaking-preventing wall parts towards the other one of the tip end edge surfaces of the pair of lateral shaking-preventing wall part, at a position upwards from the first vertical shaking-preventing wall part, and has a second end edge surface facing an outer surface of the leading-side bent part of the bent plate-type terminal which is held therein, wherein
the second vertical shaking-preventing wall part has a surface which is on the same side as the tip end edge surface of the lateral shaking-preventing wall part, and which is formed to be recessed relative to the tip end edge surface at a certain position upwards from the second end edge surface, or from the second end edge surface to an upper edge surface therefrom.
2. The terminal protection cover according to claim 1 , wherein
the second vertical shaking-preventing wall part is the pair of protruding wall parts, and
a surface of each of the protruding wall parts on the same side as the tip end edge surface is inclined so that a thickness of the protruding wall part decreases in a direction of protrusion.
3. The terminal protection cover according to claim 1 , wherein
the second vertical shaking-preventing wall part is the pair of protruding wall parts, and
the terminal holding part further includes a third vertical shaking-preventing wall part which stands from the terminal-attachment surface between the pair of protruding wall parts to a level recessed relative to the tip end edge surface, and has a third end edge surface facing the outer surface of the leading-side bent part of the bent plate-type terminal which is held therein.
4. The terminal protection cover according to claim 1 , wherein
the terminal holding part further includes a guiding wall part which guides the bent plate-type terminal to an attachment-completion position when the bent plate-type terminal is being attached.
5. An electrical junction box in which a terminal-fitted electric wire having a bent plate-type terminal is attached to an outer surface of the electrical junction box, the electrical junction box comprising the terminal protection cover according to claim 1 for protecting the bent plate-type terminal.
