Grommet and wire harness
A grommet body of a grommet includes: a large-diameter tubular portion; a first small-diameter tubular portion arranged on one side of a through-hole; and a second small-diameter tubular portion arranged on another side of the through-hole. The grommet body includes an umbrella-like sound insulation portion which covers the through-hole from another side, and the sound insulation portion is configured such that an abutting side surface is folded back in such a way as to face a radial outer side of the grommet body with a folded-back portion as a base point. The sound insulation portion in a state in which the abutting side surface is folded back in such a way as to face the radial outer side of the grommet body has a pleated shape, and an outer diameter of the sound insulation portion in this state is smaller than an inner diameter of the through-hole.
1. A grommet comprising a grommet body for holding, at an inner periphery side, an electric wire penetrating through a through-hole provided in a member to which attachment is performed, the grommet body comprising:
a large-diameter tubular portion locked to a peripheral edge of the through-hole;
a first small-diameter tubular portion arranged on one side of an opening of the through-hole;
a second small-diameter tubular portion arranged on another side of the opening of the through-hole; and
an umbrella-like sound insulation portion which extends from an inner peripheral side to an outer peripheral side of the grommet body and covers the opening of the through-hole from another side, wherein
the sound insulation portion is configured such that the sound insulation portion is able to be folded back in such a way that an inner-side surface of the sound insulation portion faces a radial outer side of the grommet body with a folded-back portion as a base point, and
the sound insulation portion in a state in which the inner-side surface of the sound insulation portion is folded back in such a way as to face the radial outer side of the grommet body has a pleated shape having a plurality of pleats in a circumferential direction, and an outer diameter of the sound insulation portion in this state is smaller than an inner diameter of the through-hole.
2. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein
the folded-back portion is provided at a position further away from the member to which attachment is performed than an outer peripheral edge of the sound insulation portion in a length direction of the grommet body.
3. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein
an expanding-diameter tubular portion is provided between the second small-diameter tubular portion and the large-diameter tubular portion,
the sound insulation portion is formed in such a way as to extend from an outer surface of the second small-diameter tubular portion or the expanding-diameter tubular portion, and
an annular groove extending along a circumferential direction of the grommet body is formed between the outer surface of the second small-diameter tubular portion or the expanding-diameter tubular portion and an outer-side surface of the sound insulation portion.
4. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein
an outer peripheral edge of the sound insulation portion is provided with a closing portion so as to close a gap between the member to which attachment is performed and the outer peripheral edge of the sound insulation portion.
5. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein
a groove extending in a radial direction of the grommet body is provided in an outer-side surface near the outer peripheral edge in the sound insulation portion.
6. The grommet according to claim 1 , wherein
a rib extending in a radial direction of the grommet body is provided on an outer-side surface of the sound insulation portion.
7. A wire harness comprising the grommet according to claim 1 .
