[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2021-19386 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem that the invention aims to solve

[0007] However, in conventional sliding doors, the sliding mechanism responsible for the sliding action is assembled between the sliding door and the vehicle body. But in other processes different from the assembly of the sliding mechanism, the wiring harness for the sliding door is assembled by placing it between the vehicle body and the sliding door. Therefore, in existing sliding doors, there is room for improvement in the ease of assembling this wiring harness.

[0008] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a wiring harness for sliding doors with excellent assembly workability.

[0009] Technical means for solving problems

[0010] The invention is characterized by comprising: a wiring harness body, which is a wiring component that electrically connects a first electrical connection object disposed on a sliding door and a second electrical connection object disposed on a vehicle body and is wired along a linkage mechanism that connects the sliding door and the vehicle body and causes the sliding door to reciprocate relative to the vehicle body in a sliding direction; and a wiring harness temporary holding structure located at at least one location, which is capable of temporarily holding the wiring harness body assembled to the linkage mechanism before assembling the linkage mechanism to the sliding door and the vehicle body.

[0011] Invention Effects

[0012] The wiring harness of this invention temporarily holds the wiring harness body to the linkage mechanism before assembling the linkage mechanism to the sliding door and vehicle body using a temporary holding structure. This allows the wiring harness body to be assembled together with the linkage mechanism to the sliding door and vehicle body. Thus, for this wiring harness, the wiring harness body can be assembled to the sliding door and vehicle body in the same steps as assembling the linkage mechanism to the sliding door and vehicle body. Therefore, this wiring harness improves the ease of assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Hereinafter, embodiments of the wire harness according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0031] [Implementation Method]

[0032] based on Figures 1 to 5 One embodiment of the wire harness involved in this invention will be described.

[0033] Figures 1 to 5 The symbol 1 indicates the wiring harness in this embodiment.

[0034] For example, in vehicles such as automobiles, there exists a sliding door 500 that is capable of reciprocating in a sliding direction relative to the vehicle body B. Figures 1 to 3 The vehicle is equipped with a linkage mechanism 600 that connects the sliding door 500 to the vehicle body B and allows the sliding door 500 to reciprocate relative to the vehicle body B in the sliding direction in order to realize the sliding action (reciprocating movement in the sliding direction). Figures 1 to 3 The linkage mechanism 600 shown here causes the sliding door 500 on the side of the vehicle to slide in the forward and backward direction of the vehicle.

[0035] A linkage mechanism 600 is mounted between the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, allowing the sliding door 500 to move relative to the vehicle body B between a fully open position and a fully closed position. This linkage mechanism 600 includes: an arm component 610; a first bearing 620 fixed to the sliding door 500 and rotatably supporting one end 611 of the arm component 610; and a second bearing 630 fixed to the vehicle body B and rotatably supporting the other end 612 of the arm component 610. Figures 1 to 3 That is, the arm component 610 has a pivot point on the sliding door 500 side of the linkage mechanism 600 at one end 611 (hereinafter referred to as the "door-side pivot point"), and a pivot point on the vehicle body B side of the linkage mechanism 600 at the other end 612 (hereinafter referred to as the "vehicle body-side pivot point").

[0036] The first bearing 620 has a bracket 621 fixed to, for example, the inner plate 501 of the sliding door 500, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 622 are rotatably supported by the bracket 621. Figures 1 to 4 The rotating shaft 622 is oriented with its axis aligned with the vertical direction of the vehicle. One end 611 of the arm component 610 is fixed to the rotating shaft 622 and is axially supported relative to the bracket 621 via the rotating shaft 622 in a manner that allows it to rotate freely about the rotating shaft 622. Furthermore, the second bearing 630 has a bracket 631 fixed to the vehicle body B, and both ends of the rotating shaft 632 are axially supported by the bracket 631 in a rotatable manner. Figures 1 to 3 The other end 612 of the arm component 610 is fixed to the rotating shaft 632 and is axially supported relative to the bracket 631 via the rotating shaft 632 in a manner that allows it to rotate freely about the rotating shaft 632.

[0037] The linkage mechanism 600 transmits the output torque of a rotary machine (not shown) that serves as a drive source to a rotation shaft 632, for example, on the side of the vehicle body B. This causes the arm member 610 to rotate about a door-side pivot point at one end 611 and a vehicle-side pivot point at the other end 612, while simultaneously causing the sliding door 500 to reciprocate relative to the vehicle body B in the sliding direction. In this linkage mechanism 600, for example, when the sliding door 500 is in the fully closed position, the arm member 610 is configured to extend in the sliding direction of the sliding door 500 (here, the vehicle's longitudinal direction). Figures 1 to 3 When the sliding door 500 is in the fully open position, the arm component 610 is configured to extend in a cross direction (e.g., the vehicle width direction) that intersects the sliding direction of the sliding door 500.

[0038] Multiple linkage mechanisms 600 are provided between the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B. These linkage mechanisms 600 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Here, as linkage mechanisms 600, an upper linkage mechanism 600A is provided on the upper side of the vehicle, and a lower linkage mechanism 600B is provided on the lower side of the vehicle. Figures 1 to 3 The upper linkage mechanism 600A includes: two arm components 610A; a first bearing 620A (support 621) that supports one end 611 of each of the two arm components 610A via a rotating shaft 622; and a second bearing 630A (support 631) that supports the other end 612 of each of the two arm components 610A via a rotating shaft 632. Figures 1 to 3 The lower linkage mechanism 600B includes: an arm member 610B; a first bearing 620B (bracket 621) that supports one end 611 of the arm member 610B via a rotating shaft 622; and a second bearing 630B (bracket 631) that supports the other end 612 of the arm member 610B via a rotating shaft 632. Figures 1 to 3 Additionally, the drive source is connected to either the upper linkage 600A or the lower linkage 600B.

[0039] In this embodiment, the wiring harness 1 is mounted on the vehicle in order to electrically connect the first electrical connection object 550 provided in such a sliding door 500 to the second electrical connection object 560 provided in the vehicle body B. Figure 1 ).

[0040] The first electrical connection object 550 refers to components such as electrical parts and switches installed on the sliding door 500. For example, the electrical parts of the sliding door 500 include drive mechanisms for power windows and speakers. Similarly, the switches for the sliding door 500 include switches for operating the power windows and switches for operating the power-adjustable seat. On the other hand, the second electrical connection object 560 refers to components such as power sources (secondary batteries, etc.) and electrical parts installed on the B side of the vehicle body. For example, the electrical parts on the B side of the vehicle body include audio equipment associated with the speakers of the sliding door 500 and drive mechanisms for operating the power-adjustable seat.

[0041] The wire harness 1 includes a wire harness body 10, which serves as a wiring component for electrically connecting the first electrical connection object 550 and the second electrical connection object 560. Figures 1 to 3 The wire harness body 10 may consist of a wire harness consisting of multiple wires bundled together, or it may be completely covered by an external component such as a corrugated pipe, or it may be partially covered by one or more external components.

[0042] In this wire harness 1, one end of the wire harness body 10 is directly or indirectly electrically connected to a first electrical connection object 550, and the other end of the wire harness body 10 is directly or indirectly electrically connected to a second electrical connection object 560. The wire harness 1 shown here includes: a first connector 21, which is assembled to one end of the wire harness body 10 and directly or indirectly connects the wire harness body 10 to the first electrical connection object 550; and a second connector 22, which is assembled to the other end of the wire harness body 10 and directly or indirectly connects the wire harness body 10 to the second electrical connection object 560. Figures 1 to 3 ).

[0043] The wiring harness body 10 is routed along the linkage mechanism 600. Furthermore, the wiring harness body 10 is held within the linkage mechanism 600. The wiring harness body 10 is temporarily held in advance relative to the linkage mechanism 600 before assembly with the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B. Therefore, the wiring harness 1 has at least one temporary wiring harness holding structure 30, which can temporarily hold the wiring harness body 10 within the linkage mechanism 600 before assembly with the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B. Figures 1 to 5 Therefore, when the linkage mechanism 600 is assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, the wiring harness 1 can be assembled to the wiring harness body 10 to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B in the same process as the linkage mechanism 600.

[0044] Here, the temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 is configured, for example, to employ a temporary holding method that allows relative displacement between the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 at the temporary holding position. In this case, the temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 can adjust the relative position of the wiring harness body 10 with respect to the linkage mechanism 600 after the linkage mechanism 600 is assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, based on, for example, the connection positions of the first connector 21 and the second connector 22.

[0045] For example, the temporary holding structure 30 for the wiring harness is configured to allow relative displacement between the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 not only before the linkage mechanism 600 is assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, but also after the linkage mechanism 600 is assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, at the temporary holding position. That is, the temporary holding structure 30 for the wiring harness body 10 may be provided only for the temporary holding of the wiring harness body 10 relative to the linkage mechanism 600, and after the wiring harness body 10 is assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, relative displacement between the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 is still allowed. However, in order to improve the acoustic performance during vehicle operation, it is preferable to suppress the relative displacement between the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600. Therefore, if the wiring harness 1 uses such a temporary holding structure 30 to improve acoustic performance, it is preferable to provide at least one wiring harness fixing structure 40 (described later) at a location different from the temporary holding structure 30.

[0046] On the other hand, the temporary holding structure 30 for the wiring harness can also be configured such that relative displacement between the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 is allowed in the temporary holding position until the linkage mechanism 600 has been assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, and that no relative displacement occurs between the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 in the temporary holding position after assembly. That is, the temporary holding structure 30 can also allow relative displacement between the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 in the temporary holding position at least until the linkage mechanism 600 has been assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, and after the linkage mechanism 600 has been assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, the wiring harness body 10 is fixed relative to the linkage mechanism 600 in a manner without relative displacement. Therefore, the temporary holding structure 30 for the wiring harness is used as a fixing structure to fix the wiring harness body 10 to the linkage mechanism 600 after the linkage mechanism 600 has been assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B.

[0047] Alternatively, the temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 can be configured, for example, to employ a temporary holding method that prevents relative displacement between the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 at the temporary holding position. That is, before the linkage mechanism 600 is assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, the temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 fixes the wiring harness body 10 to the linkage mechanism 600 without relative displacement. This temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 is used as a fixing structure to fix the wiring harness body 10 to the linkage mechanism 600 after the linkage mechanism 600 is assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B.

[0048] The wiring harness 1 shown here is fixed to the linkage mechanism 600 in the state after the wiring harness body 1 is assembled with the vehicle body B relative to the sliding door 500.

[0049] In fixing the wire harness body 10, for example, a temporary wire harness holding structure 30, which can also be used as the fixing structure shown above, can be used, or a wire harness fixing structure 40, which fixes the wire harness body 10 to the linkage mechanism 600 at a location different from the temporary holding position based on the temporary holding structure 30, can be used. Figures 1 to 3 ).

[0050] For example, after the wiring harness 10 is assembled relative to the sliding door 500, the vehicle body B and the linkage mechanism 600, and the assembled wiring harness 10 is fixed to the linkage mechanism 600 in a way that does not involve relative displacement at one location, a temporary wiring harness holding structure 30, which can also be used as the fixing structure shown above, is provided at one location. The wiring harness 10 is fixed to the linkage mechanism 600 in a way that does not involve relative displacement at one location using the temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 at one location.

[0051] In addition, after the wiring harness 10 is assembled with respect to the sliding door 500, the vehicle body B and the linkage mechanism 600, and the wiring harness 10 is fixed to the linkage mechanism 600 at one location in a manner without relative displacement, it may also have a wiring harness temporary holding structure 30 at one location. This wiring harness temporary holding structure 30 maintains the relative displacement between the wiring harness 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 even after the wiring harness 10 is assembled with respect to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B. Furthermore, it may have a wiring harness fixing structure 40 at one location, which fixes the wiring harness 10 to the linkage mechanism 600 at a location different from the temporary holding position of the wiring harness temporary holding structure 30.

[0052] On the other hand, after the wiring harness 10 is assembled with respect to the sliding door 500, the vehicle body B and the linkage mechanism 600, and the assembled wiring harness 10 is fixed in multiple locations in a manner that does not have relative displacement with respect to the linkage mechanism 600, the wiring harness 1 has a temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 at multiple locations that can also be used as the fixing structure shown above. Using the temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 at multiple locations, the wiring harness 10 is fixed in a manner that does not have relative displacement with respect to the linkage mechanism 600.

[0053] In addition, after the wiring harness 10 is assembled with respect to the sliding door 500, the vehicle body B and the linkage mechanism 600, and the assembled wiring harness 10 is fixed at multiple locations in a manner that does not have relative displacement with respect to the linkage mechanism 600, it may also have a temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 at at least one location, which can serve as the fixing structure shown above, and a wiring harness fixing structure 40 at at least one location, which fixes the wiring harness 10 to the linkage mechanism 600 at a location different from the temporary holding position of the temporary wiring harness holding structure 30.

[0054] In addition, after the wiring harness 10 is assembled with respect to the sliding door 500, the vehicle body B and the linkage mechanism 600, and the assembled wiring harness 10 is fixed in multiple locations with no relative displacement relative to the linkage mechanism 600, it may also have a temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 at at least one location. This temporary wiring harness holding structure 30 allows relative displacement between the wiring harness 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 even after the wiring harness 10 is assembled with respect to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B. Furthermore, it has wiring harness fixing structures 40 at multiple locations, which fix the wiring harness 10 to the linkage mechanism 600 at locations different from the temporary holding positions of the temporary wiring harness holding structure 30.

[0055] Here, both the temporary wire harness holding structure 30 and the wire harness fixing structure 40, which can be used as the fixing structure shown above, are used simultaneously. For example, the temporary wire harness holding structure 30 has a fixing member 31 at the part that is temporarily held, and the fixing member 31 fixes the wire harness body 10 to the linkage mechanism 600. Figures 1 to 5 Furthermore, the wire harness fixing structure 40 has a fixing member 41 at the position where it becomes the fixing object, and the fixing member 41 fixes the wire harness body 10 to the linkage mechanism 600. Figures 1 to 3 The fasteners 31 and 41 are, for example, clips, clamps, or resin tapes that hold the wire harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 (e.g., formed as flat sections) in their respective shapes.

[0056] The wire harness temporary holding structure 30 and the wire harness fixing structure 40 can use fasteners 31 and 41 to fix the wire harness body 10 to the brackets 621 and 631 of the linkage mechanism 600, or they can use fasteners 31 and 41 to fix the wire harness body 10 to the arm component 610 of the linkage mechanism 600.

[0057] Specifically, the wiring harness body 10 shown here has a path limiting portion 11 that is routed along the linkage mechanism 600 and held within the linkage mechanism 600. Figures 1 to 3 The path limiting part 11 is the part that keeps the wiring path of the wire harness body 10 in a certain position relative to the linkage mechanism 600 regardless of the sliding position of the sliding door 500. In this path limiting part 11, at least one end 11a is temporarily held to the linkage mechanism 600 by the wire harness temporary holding structure 30, and at least the other end 11b is fixed to the linkage mechanism 600 by the wire harness fixing structure 40.

[0058] The path restriction section 11 shown here is wired along the arm component 610 and is fixed to the arm component 610 by a wire harness temporary holding structure 30 at one location and a wire harness fixing structure 40 at another location. Figures 1 to 3 The temporary holding structure 30 for the wire harness adopts a fixed form in which no relative displacement occurs between the path restriction part 11 and the arm member 610 at the temporary holding position from the temporary holding state. In addition, the wire harness fixing structure 40 fixes the path restriction part 11 to the arm member 610 at a position different from the temporary holding position.

[0059] For example, in the wire harness body 10, when wiring is laid along the arm member 610 between one end 611 and the other end 612, the portion where wiring is laid between the one end 611 and the other end 612 becomes a path restriction portion 11. Figures 1 to 3 In this case, before assembling the linkage mechanism 600 to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, one end 11a of the path restriction portion 11 is temporarily held in a fixed state to one end 611 of the arm member 610 using, for example, the temporary holding structure 30 of the wiring harness 10. Furthermore, after assembling the linkage mechanism 600 to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, the other end 11b of the path restriction portion 11 is fixed to the other end 612 of the arm member 610 using the wiring harness fixing structure 40.

[0060] As shown above, in this embodiment, before assembling the linkage mechanism 600 to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, the wiring harness 1 temporarily holds the wiring harness body 10 to the linkage mechanism 600 using the wiring harness temporary holding structure 30. Therefore, the wiring harness body 10 and the linkage mechanism 600 can be assembled together to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B. For example, in this wiring harness 1, after assembling the linkage mechanism 600 to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, the first connector 21 of the wiring harness body 10, which is temporarily held to the linkage mechanism 600, is electrically connected to the first electrical connection object 550 side, and the second connector 22 of the wiring harness body 10 is electrically connected to the second electrical connection object 560 side. At this time, in this wiring harness 1, if the wiring harness fixing structure 40 is used simultaneously as in the previous specific example, the wiring harness fixing structure 40 is used to fix the wiring harness body 10 to the linkage mechanism 600. In this way, the wiring harness 1 can be assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B in the same process as the assembly process of the linkage mechanism 600 relative to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B. Therefore, the wiring harness 1 can improve the assembly workability of the wiring harness body 10.

[0061] A single wire harness body 10 is paired with a single linkage mechanism 600. In the case of multiple linkage mechanisms 600, the wire harness 1 has a wire harness body 10 that is routed in pairs with at least one of the multiple linkage mechanisms 600 (here, the upper linkage mechanism 600A and the lower linkage mechanism 600B). For example, the wire harness 1 may have a wire harness body 10 that is routed and fixed only in the upper linkage mechanism 600A, or it may have a wire harness body 10 that is routed and fixed only in the lower linkage mechanism 600B, or it may have a wire harness body 10 that is routed and fixed in both the upper and lower linkage mechanisms 600A and 600B. The wire harness 1 shown here has a wire harness body 10 that is routed and fixed only in the lower linkage mechanism 600B. Figures 1 to 3 ).

[0062] In addition, the wire harness 1 in this embodiment, besides serving as the first wire harness fixing structure 40, may also include a second wire harness fixing structure 50 for fixing the wire harness body 10 to at least one portion of the sliding door 500 side. Figures 1 to 5 The second wiring harness fixing structure 50 includes a fixing member 51 that fixes the wiring harness body 10 to the sliding door 500 side between the path limiting part 11 and the first connector 21. The fixing member 51 can be directly fixed to the sliding door 500, or it can be fixed to other components fixed to the sliding door 500, thus indirectly fixing it to the sliding door 500.

[0063] Here, the fastener 51 is fixed to the bracket 621 of the linkage mechanism 600 (lower linkage mechanism 600B) which is fixed to the sliding door 500. For example, after the path limiting part 11 is routed along the arm member 610 (arm member 610B) to one end 611 of the arm member 610, the wiring harness body 10 is guided with one end side (first connector 21 side) toward the first electrical connection object 550 above the vehicle. The fastener 51 shown here is also used as a guide to guide the wiring harness body 10 to the first electrical connection object 550 at one end 611 of the arm member 610.

[0064] The fastener 51 has a body 51a, which is formed into a frustum-shaped cylinder that tapers from one end 611 of the arm member 610 toward the front end of the first electrically connected object 550. Figures 1 to 5 The fastener 51 shown here is configured with its main body 51a facing upwards towards the vehicle and tapering at the front end. The main body 51a guides the harness body 10 from one end 611 of the arm member 610 toward the first electrical connection object 550 by allowing the harness body 10 to pass through its inner side.

[0065] Additionally, the fastener 51 has a semi-cylindrical retaining portion 51b at the front end of the upper bottom side of its main body 51a, and the retaining portion 51b is formed to be the same size as the outer diameter of the wire harness body 10. Figure 1 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The retaining part 51b retains the wire harness body 10 embedded in itself.

[0066] In addition, the fastener 51 is provided with a fixing part 51c for fixing to the bracket 621, which protrudes towards the lower bottom side of the main body 51a. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 For example, the fixing part 51c is threaded to the bracket 621.

[0067] Furthermore, the wiring harness 1 in this embodiment may also include a third wiring harness fixing structure (not shown) that fixes the wiring harness body 10 to at least one location on the vehicle body B side. This third wiring harness fixing structure includes a fixing member that fixes the wiring harness body 10 to the vehicle body B between the path limiting part 11 and the second connector 22. This fixing member is the same as the previous fixing members 31 and 41, such as a clip, clamp, resin tape, etc.

[0068] For example, in this wiring harness 1, after the wiring harness body 10 is inserted into the inner side of the body 51a of the fixing member 51 in the second wiring harness fixing structure 50, the first connector 21 is assembled to one end of the wiring harness body 10. Then, in this wiring harness 1, while the wiring harness body 10 is temporarily held in the linkage mechanism 600, the fixing portion 51c of the fixing member 51 is fixed to the bracket 621. In this wiring harness 1, by assembling the linkage mechanism 600 to the sliding door 500, the fixing member 51 is indirectly fixed to the sliding door 500, thereby fixing the wiring harness body 10 to the sliding door 500 side. Next, in this wiring harness 1, the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 of the wiring harness body 10, which is temporarily held in the linkage mechanism 600, are electrically connected to the first electrical connection object 550 side and the second electrical connection object 560 side. Furthermore, in this wiring harness 1, the wiring harness body 10 is fixed to the linkage mechanism 600 using the first wiring harness fixing structure 40, and the wiring harness body 10 is fixed to the vehicle body B side using the third wiring harness fixing structure. Regarding this wiring harness 1, although the fixing points of the wiring harness body 10 are increased, the wiring harness body 10 can be assembled to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B in the same process as the assembly process of assembling the linkage mechanism 600 relative to the sliding door 500 and the vehicle body B, thus improving the assembly workability of the wiring harness body 10.
