Waterproof structure of wire harness
View Patent ↗A waterproof structure of a wire harness includes at least one bundle of an electric wire group in which a plurality of electric wires are linearly arranged, a damming part made of a hard resin material, the damming part which surrounds a part of the electric wire group in an extension direction of the electric wire group and which includes an outer periphery shape part according to a shape of a trapezoidal through hole in an electric wire group insertion part with a divided structure, and a water stop material which prevents water from entering a gap between the electric wire group insertion part and the outer periphery shape part and which is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the through hole.
1. A waterproof structure of a wire harness comprising:
at least one bundle of an electric wire group in which a plurality of electric wires are linearly arranged;
an electric wire group insertion part including a through hole, the through hole being trapezoid shaped;
a damming part made of a hard resin material, the damming part surrounding a part of the electric wire group in an extension direction of the electric wire group and including an outer periphery shape part, the outer periphery shape part being shaped so as to correspond to the shape of the through hole in the electric wire group insertion part, the outer periphery shape part being housed within the through hole; and
a water stop material which prevents water from entering a gap between the electric wire group insertion part and the outer periphery shape part and which is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the through hole,
wherein a pair of first portions in the outer periphery shape part located in vicinities of a pair of opposing edge parts in the extension direction of the electric wire group respectively have trapezoidal shapes in cross sections perpendicular to the extension direction,
wherein a second portion in the outer periphery shape part other than the first portions has a lightening part, and
wherein a length of the water stop material in an axial direction of the through hole is longer than a length of the outer periphery shape part in the extension direction of the electric wire group.
2. The waterproof structure of the wire harness according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second portion in the outer periphery shape part further has a portion including a trapezoidal shape in a cross section perpendicular to the extension direction.
3. The waterproof structure of the wire harness according to claim 1 ,
wherein the electric wire group insertion part includes a divided structure.
