Description

This invention relates to connecting an inspection system that is used to connect the inspection of the coated wire to be wired in an automobile.

In recent years, in addition to air conditioners, wipers, power windows, etc., vehicles are equipped with various electronic devices for improving operability, comfort, and safety, such as ABS (anti-brake system) and ESC (anti-slip device). These electronic devices are connected to a power source, an ECU, and other electronic devices via a harness having a connector at an end, and are electronically controlled by an ECU (engine control unit) or the like.
Therefore, in order to operate these electronic devices normally, it is necessary to conduct a continuity test (connection inspection) of the wire harness that connects the electronic devices and the ECU or the like.

Specifically, the coated electric wire whose end is joined to the connector is arranged on the electric wire wiring board so as to have a shape corresponding to a previously set wiring path, and the coated electric wire is covered with an exterior such as taping or protector To form a wire harness of the desired shape. Next, the wire harness is removed from the wire wiring board and transferred to a connection inspection board, and the connectors are respectively connected to a connection inspection body provided in the connection inspection board, and the continuity of the wire harness is confirmed.
However, in this method, it is necessary to load the wire harness wired by the electric wire wiring board on the connection inspection board, which requires manpower and time.

With respect to such a problem, Patent Document 1 discloses a connection inspection body for performing a connection inspection of the coated electric wire wired in the electric wire wiring board.
According to the connection inspection body described in Patent Document 1, the electric wire wiring board can be arranged by arranging the connection inspection body constituted by the connector gripping portion and the connector connection portion not vertically but vertically as in the prior art. The connection test body can be disposed on the upper side, and the connection test can be performed on the wire wiring board, so that it is possible to reduce the time and effort for rewiring the coated wire.

  However, in the connection inspection body described in Patent Document 1, in recent years where the number of the covered wires has increased with the increase in the number of electronic devices provided in the vehicle, the ends of the covered wires become more dense and space is reduced. Because of this, in order to conduct a connection test, it has been difficult to place the location of the connection test body at a desired position with respect to the connector.

The present invention, in view of the above problems, connect the ends of the covered wire is such that more concentrated, Ru even with a small place space can be provided a part of the connection test body The purpose is to provide an inspection system.

The present invention also includes a connector grip portion for gripping the connector in a covered electric wire in which the connector is joined to the end portion, and a connector connection portion for joining with the connector gripped by the connector grip portion; The connector connection portion is configured separately, and a connection inspection body for inspecting a connection structure formed by the coated electric wire and the connector, and the coated electric wire whose end is joined to the connector is wired. A connection inspection system comprising: a wire wiring board provided with the connector gripping portion; and a connection inspection board provided with the connector connection portion connected to the connector of the coated wire wired on the wire wiring board Can be characterized.

The connector is, for example, a terminal used for electrical connection of the coated wire, such as a crimp terminal connector or pin which can be attached with a single or a plurality of crimp terminals whose ends are connected to the coated wire. Includes mountable connectors.
In addition, the said connector is a structure which can be joined with the connection site | part corresponding to the said connector in which the said connection test body was provided including a male type and a female type.

  The covered electric wire means a single covered electric wire obtained by covering an electric conductive wire with an insulator, a wire harness obtained by bundling a single covered electric wire, a single covered electric wire, or part or all of the wire harness Including those covered with an exterior such as tape or protector.

  The electric wire may be a conductor made of a single metal such as a copper wire or an aluminum wire, a single wire made of an alloy wire made of a copper alloy or an aluminum alloy, or a stranded wire obtained by twisting these single wires. And a twisted wire formed by twisting a plurality of types together. That is, the said electric wire is a conducting wire formed with the material which has electroconductivity, Moreover, a single wire, a strand wire, etc. are included.

  The connector connection portion can be a connector connection portion that can be directly joined to the connector, or a connector connection that can be indirectly connected to the connector, for example, when connecting using a connection cord for connection to the connector Including the department.

According to the present invention, it is possible to arrange a part of the connection inspection body even in a place with a small space where the ends of the coated electric wire are more concentrated.
More specifically, by separately configuring the connector gripping portion and the connector connecting portion, the size of each of the connector gripping portion and the connector connecting portion is sufficiently smaller than that of the connection inspection body. The connector grip portion can be disposed even in a place where there is no space and the placement of the connection inspection body is difficult.

  Therefore, the coated wire can be wired in a desired shape. Thereby, the length of the said covered wire can be made into desired length, the increase in the weight of the said covered wire can be suppressed and reduction of the whole weight can be achieved.

  Further, since the connector gripping portion and the connector connecting portion are separately formed, for example, by removing the connector connecting portion after the connection inspection, the end portion of the covered wire is the connector and the connector gripping portion And can be configured. That is, since the end of the coated electric wire can be put in the wired state of the coated electric wire in which the connecting body other than the connector grip portion and the lead wire connected to the connecting body can not be joined. It can be easily determined whether the coated wire has a desired shape.

As described above, a part of the connection inspection body is disposed on the electric wire wiring board by separately configuring the connector gripping portion and the connector connection portion which are the configuration of the connection inspection body. While being able to wire the said coated wire in a desired shape, it can also be easily judged whether the wired said coated wire is a desired shape.
The connector connection portion can be disposed on the same wire wiring board as the connector grip portion, or can be disposed on a board different from the connector grip portion.

Further, the connection inspection can be performed without removing the coated electric wire wired on the electric wire wiring board from the electric wire wiring board.
More specifically, the connection inspection of the coated electric wire is carried out by directly or indirectly connecting the connection test body to the connector joined to the end of the coated electric wire wired in the electric wire wiring board be able to. In other words, without removing the coated electric wire wired in the electric wire wiring board from the electric wire wiring board, the connection inspection of the coated electric wire is carried out in a state of being wired in the electric wire wiring board. Can.

Therefore, at the time of connection inspection, it is possible to omit the process of removing the covered electric wire disposed on the electric wire wiring board from the electric wire wiring board and replacing it on the connection inspection board, thereby improving the work efficiency. be able to.

In addition, if the connection inspection body is provided on the wire wiring board, the connection inspection body is attached to each of the wire wiring boards, and a connection test is performed using different connection inspection bodies for each of the wire wiring boards. For this reason, there is a possibility that variations in inspection may occur for each of the covered electric wires subjected to connection inspection.

However, according to the present invention, by arranging the connector connection portion on the connection inspection board and arranging the connector on the wire wiring board, connection inspection can be performed using the common connection inspection board. Therefore, the variation in inspection can be eliminated for each of the coated electric wires, and the connection inspection can be performed using a common connection inspection board, so that the cost can be reduced.

And, including moving these in conjunction.

  According to the present invention, even when the connector gripping portion and the connector connecting portion are arranged at a predetermined interval, the connector gripped by the connector gripping portion can be connected to the connector connecting portion. .

  Specifically, for example, when the connector is not disposed at a position connectable to the connector connection portion due to an error in design stage or an error in laying the coated wire, the result of the connection test leads to conduction of the coated wire. It is not known whether there is no contact or the contact failure between the connector and the connector connection portion, and it is necessary to confirm both, which requires much time and effort for confirmation.

  However, according to the present invention, the connector is disposed at a predetermined distance from the connector connecting portion, and the connector can be connected to the connector connecting portion even when the connector is not in the connectable position. By moving at least one of the connector, the connector grip portion, and the connector connection portion to each other, the connector and the connector connection portion can be reliably connected. Therefore, the connection inspection of the said covered electric wire can be implemented correctly.

However, even if connection can not be made because the position of the connector deviates from the connection position with the connection inspection body as described above, the position of the connector may be changed to the connection inspection body by the connection position adjusting mechanism. It can be adjusted to a connectable position.
Therefore, the connector can be reliably connected to the connection inspection body, and the connection inspection of the coated wire including the connector at the end can be reliably performed.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention, at least one of the connector gripping portion and the connector connecting portion can be provided with a guiding portion for guiding the connector gripped by the connector gripping portion to a position where it is connected to the connector connecting portion.

According to this aspect of the invention, the connection inspection can be performed without disturbing the operation of arranging the coated electric wire on the electric wire wiring board.
More specifically, for example, after laying the covered wire on the wire wiring board at a place away from the connection test board, at least one of the wire wiring board or the connection test board is moved, and the connector is It is possible to connect with the connection test body. That is, wiring work of the electric wire can be performed at a place where the connection inspection board does not get in the way, and the connection inspection body is connected with the coated electric wire wired on the electric wire wiring board after the wiring is completed. By doing this, the connection inspection of the coated wire can be performed. Thereby, wiring and connection inspection of the said covered wire can be performed efficiently.

Further, as an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a facing movement mechanism that moves at least one of the electric wire wiring board and the connection inspection board in a direction in which the electric wire wiring board and the connection inspection board face each other.

In the following, a method of continuity inspection of the harness 4 with a terminal using the continuity inspection system 1 having such a configuration will be described based on FIGS. 5 to 9.
First, the wiring step (step s1) of the harness 4 with a terminal, the horizontal movement step (step s2) of the wire wiring board 2 and the movable table 3, the vertical movement step (step s3) of the wire wiring board 2, connector 43 A conduction inspection method of the terminal harness 4 including the connection step (step s4) of the connection body 633 and the conduction inspection step (step s5) will be briefly described based on FIG.

  First, the terminal harness 4 is wired on the wiring board 21 based on a predetermined design (step s1), and the wiring board 21 on which the terminal harness 4 is wired is installed on the movable stand 3 The wire wiring board 2 is held by the movable table 3 and moved horizontally in the -X-axis direction to be stored in the storage space S of the leg 32 (step s2). Next, the wire wiring board 2 is moved upward using the lift mechanism 55 so that the connector 43 provided on the wire wiring board 2 and the connection body 633 provided on the continuity inspection board 5 can be connected. (Step s3). Then, the connector 633 is moved in the direction of the connector 43, the connector 43 and the connector 633 are connected (step s4), and a continuity test of the terminal harness 4 is performed (step s5).

After the continuity inspection, the electric wire wiring board 2 on which the terminal harness 4 is wired can be separated from the movable stand 3 by performing the reverse process.
Specifically, after the connector 43 and the connector 633 are separated by returning the piston 635 upward, the electric wire wiring board 2 can be held on the movable stand 3 by lowering the lifting mechanism 55 downward. . Then, by moving the movable base 3 holding the wire wiring board 2 horizontally in the + X axis direction and taking it out of the storage space S, the wire wiring board 2 can be moved without causing interference with the continuity inspection board 5. It can be separated from three.

Each step will be described in detail below.
In the wiring process of the terminal harness 4 (step s1), the wiring path of the terminal harness 4 is designed in advance, and the wiring jig 22 is arranged on the upper surface of the wiring board 21 based on the design. While being provided, the connector gripping portion 62 is disposed at a position where the end of the terminal harness 4 is disposed. At this time, the wiring jig 22 and the connector gripping portion 62 are fixed to the wiring board 21 using the fixing tool provided on the bottom surface of the wiring jig 22 and the fixing tool provided on the holding portion 623. Next, the crimped terminal 42 is joined to the end of the coated electric wire 41 of a desired length, and the crimped terminal 42 is attached to the housing portion 43a to integrally form the coated electric wire 41, the crimped terminal 42 and the connector 43. Prepare the harness 4 with terminals. Then, the terminal-equipped harness 4 is wired along the wiring jig 22 disposed on the wiring board 21, and the connector 43 is fitted into the gripping recess 624 from above. By fitting the connector 43 into the holding recess 624 from the upper side, the covered electric wire 41 can be extended from the cutout 625 in the wiring direction, so the connector holding unit 62 does not disturb the wiring of the terminal harness 4.

  Thus, by arranging the harness 4 with terminals sequentially on the wiring board 21 and fitting the connector 43 at the end to the connector grip portion 62, the wiring designed in advance on the upper surface of the wiring board 21 The terminal-equipped harness 4 can be wired in the same shape as the cable path, and the plurality of wired terminal-equipped harnesses 4 are protected by, for example, an exterior such as a tape or a protector and bundled together to form an integral unit.

  Next, the wire wiring board 2 on which the terminal harness 4 is wired is installed on the moving table 3 and the wire wiring board 2 is held by the wiring board holding means (not shown) provided on the outer frame 31 (See Figure 2). Then, the movable stand 3 holding the wire wiring board 2 to a position at which the movable stand 3 is temporarily fixed at a desired position by positioning means (not shown) provided on the continuity inspection stand 52 is a storage space of the continuity check board 5 The horizontal movement is made to S (see FIG. 6), and the movement of the movable base 3 is restricted by the stopper provided on the caster 33. Thus, the wire wiring board 2 and the movable stand 3 can be stored in the storage space S (step s2).

Next, the vertical movement step (step s3) of the electric wire wiring board 2 will be described based on FIG.
The movement of the movable stand 3 is restricted at a desired position, so the wiring board 21 arranged on the movable stand 3 and the continuity inspection board 5 are arranged at corresponding positions. Therefore, the through holes 24 penetrating the wiring board 21 and the elevating mechanism 55 are disposed at corresponding positions, and the relative position adjusting recess 23 provided on the upper surface of the wiring board 21 and the inspection board 51 The relative position adjustment projection 56 provided on the lower surface is disposed at the corresponding position. Therefore, the protrusion 55 a can be fitted in the through hole 24 by raising the lifting mechanism 55 upward (in the + Z axis direction) by a lifting device (not shown).

  Under the present circumstances, even if the position of the through-hole 24 provided in the board 21 for wiring arranges with the position of the corresponding projection part 55a, the upper end of the projection part 55a becomes hemispherical one size smaller than the diameter of the through-hole 24 Therefore, the projection 55a plays a role of a taper, and the projection 55a is reliably fitted in the through hole 24.

  Next, by raising the lifting mechanism 55 in a state in which the projecting portion 55a and the through hole 24 are fitted, the wire wiring board 2 is lifted (see FIG. 7C), and the wiring board 21 and the inspection board As a result, the relative position adjustment recess 23 and the relative position adjustment projection 56 are fitted.

  Specifically, since the wire wiring board 2 and the continuity inspection board 5 are integrally configured via the elevating mechanism 55 by the through hole 24 and the support 54 a being fitted, it is for wiring The relative position adjustment recess 23 and the relative position adjustment protrusion 56 respectively provided on the plate 21 and the inspection plate 51 are disposed at positions facing each other. By further raising the lifting mechanism 55 in this state, the relative position adjustment recess 23 and the relative position adjustment protrusion 56 can be fitted.

  Further, even if there is a deviation between the positions of the wiring board 21 and the inspection board 51, the lower surface of the relative position adjustment projection 56 has a recess 23a provided in the relative position adjustment recess 23 The protrusion 56a has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter, and the recess 23a is formed in a tapered shape, so that the protrusion 56a is engaged with the recess 23a when the wiring board 21 is lifted. It is possible to adjust the position.

  More specifically, since the surface of the horizontal plate 53 on which the inspection plate 51 is disposed is smooth, the horizontal plate 53 can be moved in the horizontal direction. Therefore, even when the positions of the corresponding recesses 23 a and the protrusions 56 a are shifted, when the protrusions 56 a are fitted to the recesses 23 a formed in a tapered shape, on the horizontal plate 53. The position of the inspection plate 51 can be easily adjusted so that the inspection plate 51 disposed can move horizontally on the horizontal plate 53 and the projection 56a can be fitted to the recess 23a. Therefore, the position of the continuity inspection board 5 can be adjusted so that it can be appropriately positioned relative to the wiring board 2.

According to the above-described process, the positions of the electric wire wiring board 2 and the continuity inspection board 5 can be adjusted so that the connector 43 can be connected to the connector 633.
In addition, since the electric wire wiring board 2 and the continuity inspection board 5 are the same material and have the same size, an error in the position due to temperature, humidity, etc. is reduced, so that the electric wiring board 2 and the continuity are conducted. Position adjustment with the inspection board 5 can be performed more reliably.

  In addition, even if the wiring board 21 or the inspection board 51 is not completely parallel, the relative position adjustment recess 23 and the relative position adjustment protrusion 56 are fitted by raising the lifting mechanism 55. In this case, a load (not shown) provided in the relative position adjustment protrusion 56 can absorb the load applied to the relative position adjustment protrusion 56, so a large number of the load arrangement can be provided on the wire wiring board 2 and the continuity inspection board 5 Excessive load is not applied to a part of the relative position adjustment recess 23 and the relative position adjustment protrusion 56 which are being carried out.

Next, the step of connecting the connector 43 and the connector 633 (step s4) will be described with reference to FIGS.
The wiring board 21 and the inspection board 51 which have passed through the above-described vertical movement step (step s3) are, as shown in FIG. 8, a connection contained in the connector 43 gripped by the connector gripping portion 62 and the connector connecting portion 63. The body 633 is disposed at the opposite position. The connector 43 is firmly held by the connector holding portion 62 by being pressed by the connector adjusting portion 65.

The connection step (step s4) between the connector 43 and the connector 633 arranged as described above will be described in detail.
First, when the piston 635 provided inside the connector connection portion 63 is lowered in the −Z axis direction, the connector 433 is pushed out in the + Y axis direction (see FIG. 9A). At this time, the connector grip portion 626 provided in the connector grip portion 62 is fitted with the connection portion side guide hole 637.

  When the connector adjustment portion 65 is further lowered, the connection guide recess 634 formed in the pushed connection body 633 fits with the connector 43 (see FIG. 9B), and the connection provided in the connection guide recess 634 The portion 632 and the crimp terminal 42 attached to the connector 43 are connected.

  Since the side (+ Y axis side in FIG. 8) on which the coated wire 41 of the connector 43 extends is in contact with the side of the notch 625, the connector 633 moves toward the connector 43 as well. 43 does not move in the + Y axis direction and fits in the connection guide recess 634, so that the box portion 42b of the crimp terminal 42 mounted on the connector 43 and the connection portion 632 can be connected.

Since the connection portion 632 and the crimp terminal 42 thus connected are connected to the continuity inspection main body 61 through the lead wire 64, the continuity inspection is performed to determine whether the terminal harness 4 is electrically connected. (Step s5).
In the present embodiment, the inspection plate 51 is formed of a single plate like the wiring plate 21. However, the inspection plate 51 is not limited to the present embodiment, and as shown in FIG. It is good also as continuity inspection system 1a constituted by division inspection board 51a which divided 51 into two sheets.

  Hereinafter, the continuity inspection system 1a will be described in detail based on FIG. Among the configurations of the continuity inspection system 1a described below, the same components as those of the continuity inspection system 1 in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The divided inspection plate 51a has the same configuration as the inspection plate 51 except that the inspection plate 51 is divided in half with respect to the X-axis direction.
In addition, although the number of sheets of the division | segmentation test | inspection board 51a is made into two sheets in a present Example, it is not limited to this number of sheets, According to the magnitude | size of the wire wiring board 2, etc., it can change suitably. Further, the shape of the divided inspection board 51a is not limited to the shape of the present embodiment, and can be appropriately changed according to, for example, the shape of the electric wire wiring board 2 or the shape of the wired terminal-equipped wire harness 4 is there.

Specifically, like the inspection plate 51, when the wiring board 21 is disposed at a position facing the divided inspection plate 51a on the lower surface of the divided inspection plate 51a, the connector gripping portion 62 and the relative position The connector connection portion 63 and the connector adjustment portion 65 are disposed at positions corresponding to the position adjustment recess 23.
Further, as in the case of the inspection plate 51, the two divided inspection plates 51a are provided on the upper portion of the continuity inspection stand 52 configured of the inspection vertical members 52x, the inspection horizontal members 52y, and the inspection vertical members 52z. It is disposed on the horizontal plate 53.

  The continuity inspection main body 61 which is a configuration of the continuity inspection device 6 is disposed on the divided inspection plate 51a positioned on the −X axis side, and the lead wires 64 are wired on the divided inspection plate 51a positioned on the + X axis side Lead wire 64a connected to the connection body 633, and a lead wire 64b arranged on the divided inspection plate 51a located on the -X-axis side, which is a connection connector for the lead wire 64 It is connected via the connection connector 66. The end of the lead wire 64 b is connected to the continuity test main body 61.

The continuity inspection method of continuity inspection system 1a which has such composition is explained.
Similar to the continuity inspection system 1, the continuity inspection system 1 a holds the wiring board 21 on which the terminal harness 4 is wired by holding the moving table 3, and the desired position of the storage space S formed by the continuity inspection board 5 It can move up to. After moving the movable table 3 to a desired position, the lifting plate 55 is brought close to the divided inspection plate 51 a by raising the lifting mechanism 55.

Here, as in the case of the continuity inspection system 1, by raising the elevating mechanism 55, the positions of the divided inspection plate 51 a and the wiring board 21 can be adjusted.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the lifting mechanism 55 lifts the wiring board 21 so that relative position adjusting projections 56 provided on the lower surface of each divided inspection board 51a, and the wiring board The relative position adjustment recess 23 provided on the upper surface of the housing 21 is fitted. Under the present circumstances, since the recessed part 23a provided in the relative position adjustment recessed part 23 is a taper shape, simultaneously with the protrusion 56a entering the recessed part 23a, the wiring board 21 corresponding to the position of the division inspection board 51a If there is an error between the position and the relative position adjustment protrusion 56 and the relative position adjustment recess 23, the divided inspection plate 51a moves horizontally on the horizontal plate 53 in the process of fitting the relative position adjustment protrusion 56 to the wiring plate 21. It corresponds to the position. Therefore, the connector 43 gripped by the connector grip portion 62 and the connector 633 can be set at positions suitable for connection.

  Here, in continuity inspection system 1a, since each divided inspection plate 51a can adjust the position independently, connection body 633 provided on each divided inspection plate 51a and corresponding connector 43, and Can be placed at an appropriate position. That is, compared with the case where the inspection plate 51 is a single plate, the positional error between each connector 43 and the connection body 633 is small, and the connector 43 and the connection body 633 can be connected reliably.

  As described above, the continuity inspection apparatus 6 that inspects the harness 4 with a terminal formed by the coated electric wire 41 with the connector 43 joined to the end portion and the connector 43, and the connector that grips the connector 43. The end portions of the wire harness 4 are concentrated by separately forming the connector gripping portion 62 and the connector connecting portion 63 including the gripping portion 62 and the connection body 633 joined to the connector 43, and Even in a place with a small space, a part of the continuity inspection device 6 can be provided.

More specifically, by separately configuring the connector gripping portion 62 and the connector connecting portion 63, the sizes of the connector gripping portion 62 and the connector connecting portion 63 are sufficiently smaller than when they are integrated, The connector gripping portion 62 can be disposed even in a place where there is no sufficient space and the placement of the continuity inspection device 6 is difficult.
Therefore, the coated wire 41 can be wired in a desired shape. Thereby, the length of the covered electric wire 41 can be made into a desired length, the increase in the weight of the covered electric wire 41 can be suppressed, and reduction of the whole weight can be achieved.

  In addition, since the connector gripping portion 62 and the connector connecting portion 63 are separately formed, for example, the end portion of the covered electric wire 41 is the connector 43 and the connector gripping portion 62 by removing the connector connecting portion 63 after the connection inspection. And can be configured. That is, since the wiring state of the terminal harness 4 can be obtained by not connecting the end of the covered electric wire 41 to the connecting body other than the connector gripping portion 62 or the lead wire 64 connected to the connecting body. It can be easily determined whether the retrieved terminal harness 4 has a desired shape.

  As described above, by separately configuring the connector grip portion 62 and the connector connection portion 63 which are the configuration of the continuity inspection device 6, a part of the continuity inspection device 6 is disposed on the wire wiring board 2. The terminal-equipped harness 4 can be arranged in a desired shape, and it can be easily determined whether the arranged terminal-equipped harness 4 has a desired shape.

  Further, by providing the piston 635 for moving the connecting body 633 toward the position where the connector 43 grips the connector gripping portion 62 and the connecting body 633, the connector gripping portion 62 and the connecting body 633 have a predetermined interval. Even when they are arranged apart, the connector 43 gripped by the connector gripping portion 62 can be connected to the connector 633.

  For example, even when the connector 43 is disposed at a predetermined distance from the connector 633, the connector 633 is moved in the direction of the connector 43 to a position where the connector 43 and the connector 633 can be connected. Thus, the connector 43 and the connector 633 can be connected. Therefore, the connection inspection of the coated wire 41 can be performed accurately.

  Further, by providing the connector adjustment portion 65 for adjusting the position of the connector 43 so that the connector 43 held by the connector gripping portion 62 is at a position where the connector 43 and the connection body 633 are connected, the connector 43 can be reliably connected It can be connected.

More specifically, even if the position of the connector 43 is shifted to a position where connection with the connector 633 can not be performed because the connector gripping portion 62 does not grip the connector 43, the connector adjustment portion 65 connects the connector 43 with the connector 633. It can be adjusted to the possible position.
Therefore, the connector 43 can be reliably connected to the connector 633, and the connection inspection of the coated wire 41 having the connector 43 at the end can be reliably performed.

  Also, by providing at least one of the connector gripping portion 62 and the connector 633 with a connector gripping portion 626 and a connector side guiding hole portion 637 for guiding the connector 43 gripped by the connector gripping portion 62 to a position where the connector 633 is made. Since the connector 43 gripped by the connector grip portion 62 can be guided to the connection body 633, the connector 43 and the connection body 633 can be more reliably connected, and the covered electric wire 41 in which the connector 43 is joined to the end portion Connection inspection can be performed easily and reliably.

  Further, the above-described continuity inspection apparatus 6 and the coated electric wire 41 whose end is joined to the connector 43 are wired, and the electric cable wiring board 2 in which the connector gripping portion 62 is disposed and the wiring wiring board 2 By forming the continuity inspection system 1 including the continuity inspection board 5 in which the connection body 63 connected to the connector 43 of the covered electric wire 41 is disposed, the covered electric wire 41 wired in the electric wire wiring board 2 is wired The connection inspection can be performed without removing it from the board 2.

More specifically, the connection inspection of the coated electric wire 41 is carried out by directly or indirectly connecting the connector 63 to the connector 43 joined to the end of the coated electric wire 41 wired to the electric wire wiring board 2. Can. In other words, the connection inspection of the coated wire 41 wired in the wire wiring board 2 can be performed without removing the coated wire 41 wired in the wire wiring board 2 from the wire wiring board 2.
Therefore, at the time of connection inspection, it is possible to omit the process of removing the coated electric wire 41 disposed on the electric cable wiring board 2 from the electric cable wiring board 2 and replacing it on the continuity inspection board 5, thereby improving work efficiency. be able to.

  In addition, if the continuity inspection device 6 is provided on the wire wiring board 2 temporarily, the continuity inspection device 6 will be attached to each wire wiring board 2, and the different continuity inspection device 6 is used for each wire wiring board 2. Since connection inspection is performed, inspection variation may occur for each of the covered electric wires 41 subjected to connection inspection.

  However, according to the present invention, the connection body 63 can be disposed on the continuity inspection board 5 and the connector 43 can be disposed on the wire wiring board 2 so that the connection examination can be performed using the common continuity inspection board 5. Since variation in inspection can be eliminated for each of the coated wires 41 and connection inspection can be performed using the common continuity inspection board 5, costs can be reduced.

Further, by providing the caster 33 moving the wire wiring board 2 so that the wire wiring board 2 and the continuity inspection board 5 face each other, the connector 43 and the continuity inspection device 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the boards. And can be easily connected.
More specifically, for example, after the coated electric wire 41 is wired to the electric wire wiring board 2 at a place away from the electric conduction inspection board 5, the electric wire wiring board 2 is moved and the connector 43 is connected to the electric conduction inspection device 6. Can.
