Terminal waterproofing structure of wire harness

摘要

A terminal waterproofing structure for a wire harness is provided, including a front end side of a tubular braided shielding member covering the wire harness overlaid on a tubular part of a shield shell, and fixed by crimping with a first crimp ring, and a tubular grommet made from an elastic member externally fitted to the tubular part of the shield shell that projects beyond a front end of the tubular braided shielding member while covering the section of the tubular braided shielding member that is fixed. The front end abuts on a flange part and the outer periphery of the grommet on the front end side is fixed by crimping with a second crimp ring. An annular sealing rib protrudes from the inner periphery of the grommet and a recess into which the annular sealing rib is press-fit is provided on the outer periphery.

1. A terminal waterproofing structure for a wire harness to be routed in an electric car or a hybrid car, the wire harness being constituted by a plurality of high-voltage electrical power lines, the terminal waterproofing structure comprising:
a front end side of a tubular braided shielding member covering the wire harness overlaid on a tubular part of a shield shell and fixed by crimping with a first crimp ring, the shield shell having a flange part protruding from a front end side of the tubular part; a tubular grommet made from an elastic member externally fitted to the tubular part of the shield shell that projects beyond the front end side of the tubular braided shielding member while covering a portion of the tubular braided shielding member fixed by crimping; a front end of the grommet abutting on the flange part of the shield shell, and an outer periphery of the grommet on the front end fixed by crimping with a second crimp ring; a recess provided on an outer periphery of the tubular part of the shield shell; and an annular sealing rib disposed between a fixation position with the second crimp ring and a fixation position with the first crimp ring, the annular sealing rib protruding from an inner periphery of the grommet and being press-fit into the recess, wherein
the second crimp ring, the annular sealing rib, and the first crimp ring constitute a three-tiered waterproofing section,outer surfaces on both sides of the annular sealing rib provided on the grommet are in contact with inner surfaces on both sides of the recess, andone or more lips protrude from a projecting end face of the annular sealing rib, the lips being pressed against a bottom of the recess.
