Abstract

A resin structure has an insertion portion through which an electric wire runs. The resin structure includes a first resin body and a second resin body to be attached to the first resin body in an attaching direction so as to cover the opening portion. The first resin body includes a first wall portion forming a part of a wall portion perpendicular to the attaching direction, and a first insertion portion provided in the first wall portion and forming a part of the insertion portion. The second resin body includes a second wall portion forming another part of the wall portion, and a second insertion portion provided in the second wall portion and forming another portion of the insertion portion. When the first resin body and the second resin body are attached to each other, the insertion portion is disposed in the wall portion of the resin structure.

Claims (24)

1. A resin structure having an insertion portion configured such that an electric wire runs through the insertion portion to extend inside and outside the resin structure, the resin structure comprising:

a first resin body having a box shape and an opening portion; and

a second resin body configured to be attached to the first resin body in an attaching direction so as to cover the opening portion,

wherein the first resin body includes a first wall portion forming a part of a wall portion perpendicular to the attaching direction, and a first insertion portion provided in the first wall portion and forming a part of the insertion portion,

wherein the second resin body includes a second wall portion forming another part of the wall portion, and a second insertion portion provided in the second wall portion and forming another portion of the insertion portion,

wherein, when the first resin body and the second resin body are attached to each other, the insertion portion is disposed in the wall portion of the resin structure,

wherein one of the first resin body and the second resin body has an engagement protrusion at an edge portion of the one of the first resin body and the second resin body, and

wherein the other one of the first resin body and the second resin body has an engagement recess at an edge portion of the other one, and

wherein the first resin body and the second resin body are configured to be engaged with each other by the engagement protrusion being inserted into the engagement recess.

2. The resin structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein the engagement protrusion includes a protruding portion protruding in a second direction different from a first direction in which the engagement protrusion protrudes,

wherein the engagement recess includes a recessed portion recessed so as to correspond to the protruding portion, and

wherein the protruding portion is configured to, when the first resin body and the second resin body are engaged with each other, be fitted into the recessed portion.

3. A wire harness comprising:

a resin structure; and

an electric wire to be inserted into and run through the resin structure,

wherein the resin structure includes an insertion portion through which the electric wire runs to extend inside and outside the resin structure, a first resin body having a box shape and an opening portion; and a second resin body configured to be attached to the first resin body in an attaching direction so as to cover the opening portion,

wherein the first resin body includes a first wall portion forming a part of a wall portion perpendicular to the attaching direction, and a first insertion portion provided in the first wall portion and forming a part of the insertion portion,

wherein the second resin body includes a second wall portion forming another portion of the wall portion, and a second insertion portion provided in the second wall portion and forming another portion of the insertion portion,

wherein, when the first resin body and the second resin body are attached to each other, the insertion portion is disposed in the wall portion of the resin structure,

wherein the electric wire runs through the insertion portion to extend inside and outside the resin structure,

wherein one of the first resin body and the second resin body has an engagement protrusion at an edge portion of the one of the first resin body and the second resin body, and

wherein the other one of the first resin body and the second resin body has an engagement recess at an edge portion of the other one, and

wherein the first resin body and the second resin body are configured to be engaged with each other by the engagement protrusion being inserted into the engagement recess.
