Abstract

An electrical connection box includes a frame that has a tubular inner wall and a tubular outer wall surrounding the inner wall, and accommodates an electronic component inside the inner wall a lower cover that covers a lower edge of the outer wall and an inner cover that is disposed inside the lower cover and covers a lower edge of the inner wall.

Claims (51)

1. An electrical connection box comprising:

a frame that includes a tubular inner wall, a tubular outer wall surrounding the inner wall, and an accommodation space inside the inner wall that accommodates an electronic component;

a lower cover that covers a lower edge of the outer wall; and

an inner cover that is disposed inside the lower cover and covers a lower edge of the inner wall, wherein the inner cover separates the accommodation space and the lower cover.

2. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the inner cover is apart from an inner surface of the lower cover.

3. The electrical connection box according to claim 2 , wherein

a size of a gap between the outer surface of the inner cover and the inner surface of the lower cover is increased as going to a bottom wall of the lower cover.

4. The electrical connection box according to claim 3 , wherein

the frame includes a first half-cylindrical portion that is formed integrally with the inner wall and the outer wall, has a half-cylindrical shape, and projects outward from the outer wall,

the inner cover includes a main body that covers the lower edge of the inner wall and a second half-cylindrical portion that has a half-cylindrical shape and projects outward from the main body,

a cylindrical portion is formed by the first half-cylindrical portion and the second half-cylindrical portion in a state where the main body covers the lower edge of the inner wall, and

an electrical wire connected to the electronic component is inserted into and passed through the cylindrical portion.

5. The electrical connection box according to claim 4 , wherein

the main body has a line-shaped rib provided on an outer surface of the main body,

the rib abuts the lower edge of the inner wall, and

the rib is connected to the second half-cylindrical portion.

6. The electrical connection box according to claim 3 , wherein

a sidewall of the lower cover is inserted between the outer wall and the inner wall.

7. The electrical connection box according to claim 2 , wherein

the frame includes a first half-cylindrical portion that is formed integrally with the inner wall and the outer wall, has a half-cylindrical shape, and projects outward from the outer wall,

the inner cover includes a main body that covers the lower edge of the inner wall and a second half-cylindrical portion that has a half-cylindrical shape and projects outward from the main body,

a cylindrical portion is formed by the first half-cylindrical portion and the second half-cylindrical portion in a state where the main body covers the lower edge of the inner wall, and

an electrical wire connected to the electronic component is inserted into and passed through the cylindrical portion.

8. The electrical connection box according to claim 7 , wherein

the main body has a line-shaped rib provided on an outer surface of the main body,

the rib abuts the lower edge of the inner wall, and

the rib is connected to the second half-cylindrical portion.

9. The electrical connection box according to claim 2 , wherein

a sidewall of the lower cover is inserted between the outer wall and the inner wall.

10. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein

the frame includes a first half-cylindrical portion that is formed integrally with the inner wall and the outer wall, has a half-cylindrical shape, and projects outward from the outer wall,

the inner cover includes a main body that covers the lower edge of the inner wall and a second half-cylindrical portion that has a half-cylindrical shape and projects outward from the main body,

a cylindrical portion is formed by the first half-cylindrical portion and the second half-cylindrical portion in a state where the main body covers the lower edge of the inner wall, and

an electrical wire connected to the electronic component is inserted into and passed through the cylindrical portion.

11. The electrical connection box according to claim 10 , wherein

the main body has a line-shaped rib provided on an outer surface of the main body,

the rib abuts the lower edge of the inner wall, and

the rib is connected to the second half-cylindrical portion.

12. The electrical connection box according to claim 11 , wherein

a sidewall of the lower cover is inserted between the outer wall and the inner wall.

13. The electrical connection box according to claim 10 , wherein

a sidewall of the lower cover is inserted between the outer wall and the inner wall.

14. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein

a sidewall of the lower cover is inserted between the outer wall and the inner wall.

15. An electrical connection box comprising:

a frame that includes a tubular inner wall and a tubular outer wall surrounding the inner wall, and accommodates an electronic component inside the inner wall;

an upper cover that covers an upper portion of the frame;

a lower cover that covers a lower edge of the outer wall; and

an inner cover that is disposed inside the lower cover and covers a lower edge of the inner wall, wherein

an outer surface of the inner cover is apart from an inner surface of the lower cover.

16. The electrical connection box according to claim 15 , wherein the frame includes an accommodation space inside the inner wall that accommodates the electronic component, and the inner cover separates the accommodation space and the lower cover.
