Locking structure, electronic component unit and wire harness
View Patent ↗A locking structure includes a locking recess that is formed in a recessed shape on one of a housing which houses an electronic component and a holding member to which the housing is assembled; and a locking protrusion that is formed in a protrusion shape capable of being fitted to the locking recess on the other of the housing or the holding member and capable of being locked to the locking recess. The locking recess has a recess side corner that is formed in a curved shape at an end of the recess side locking surface that is a locking surface with the locking protrusion, and the locking protrusion has a protrusion side corner formed in a curved shape and facing the recess side corner at an end of the protrusion side locking surface that is a locking surface with the locking recess.
1. A locking structure comprising:
a locking recess that is formed in a recessed shape on one of a housing which houses an electronic component and a holding member to which the housing is assembled; and
a locking protrusion that is formed in a protrusion shape capable of being fitted to the locking recess on the other of the housing or the holding member, and capable of being locked to the locking recess, wherein
the locking recess has a recess side corner that is formed in a curved shape at an end of a recess side locking surface that is a locking surface with the locking protrusion, and
the locking protrusion has a protrusion side corner that is formed in a curved shape and faces the recess side corner at an end of a protrusion side locking surface that is a locking surface with the locking recess and wherein
the locking recess is defined by a locking shaft in which the recess side locking surface is formed, and a pair of arm portions which supports both ends of the locking shaft, and
the recess side corner is formed in a connecting portion between the locking shaft and the arm portion.
2. The locking structure according to claim 1 , wherein
a curvature of the protrusion side corner is equal to or less than a curvature of the recess side corner.
3. The locking structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the recess side corners are formed at both ends of the recess side locking surface, and
the protrusion side corners are formed at both ends of the protrusion side locking surface.
4. The locking structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the recess side corners are formed at both ends of the recess side locking surface, and
the protrusion side corners are formed at both ends of the protrusion side locking surface.
5. The locking structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the recess side locking surface and the protrusion side locking surface are inclined with respect to a horizontal direction in a state in which the housing is assembled to the holding member.
6. The locking structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the recess side locking surface and the protrusion side locking surface are inclined with respect to a horizontal direction in a state in which the housing is assembled to the holding member.
7. The locking structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the recess side locking surface and the protrusion side locking surface are inclined with respect to a horizontal direction in a state in which the housing is assembled to the holding member.
8. The locking structure according to claim 1 wherein,
the locking structure is configured to include a first locking structure and a second locking structure,
wherein the first locking structure is a locking structure that is configured to lock the housing to the holding member in a first direction, and
wherein the second locking structure is a locking structure that is configured to lock the housing to the holding member in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
9. The locking structure according to claim 8 wherein,
the first direction is a direction vertically from the upper side of the locking structure, and the second direction is a direction vertically from the lower side of the locking structure.
