[0021] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below.

[0022] The wiring module of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0023] (1) A wiring module, comprising: a wiring component including sections that are different from each other along an extension direction, namely, a first section, a second section, and a third section; a first rigid member installed in the first section; and a second rigid member installed in the second section, wherein a portion including the first section and the first rigid member is referred to as a first portion, a portion including the second section and the second rigid member is referred to as a second portion, and a portion including the third section is referred to as a third portion, wherein the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are different portions from each other, the third section has a section located between the first section and the second section, the third section has a bending ease that allows it to be folded, the first rigid member has a higher rigidity than the second rigid member, and the second section is easier to bend than the first portion and harder to bend than the third portion.

[0024] According to the wiring module of (1), by folding the portion of the third portion located between the first section and the second section, the wiring module can be folded in such a way that the first portion and the second portion, each of which is provided with a rigid member, overlap. Since the first portion is more difficult to bend than the second portion and the third portion, by holding the first portion of the folded wiring module and carrying it in, the wiring module is less likely to bend, and carrying it in becomes easy. When the second portion is unfolded in a state where the first portion of the folded wiring module after being carried in is arranged at a prescribed position, since the second portion is provided with a second rigid member, the unfolding of the second portion becomes easy. In addition, since the second portion is more difficult to bend than the first portion, it is easy to deform the portion of the unfolded second portion that deviates from the prescribed path in a manner along the prescribed path. As a result, carrying in the wiring module and arranging it along the prescribed path become easy.

[0025] (2) In the wiring module of (1), the first section may include a section arranged on the floor of the vehicle, the second section may include a section arranged along the pillar of the vehicle, and the third section may include a section arranged along the wheel arch of the vehicle. This makes it easy to carry in the wiring module arranged on the floor of the vehicle and in the section adjacent to the floor and to arrange it along a predetermined path.

[0026] (3) The wiring module of (2) is provided with a sound insulator covering the floor of the vehicle, the sound insulator including: a wiring arrangement portion that arranges the first section and serves as the first rigid member; and a main body portion that is continuous with the wiring arrangement portion and is softer than the wiring arrangement portion. Thus, the sound insulator can be integrated with the wiring member and rigidity can be imparted to the first section by the sound insulator.

[0027] (4) In the wiring module of (3), the sound insulator may be foldable along a fold provided in the main body portion before being installed in the vehicle, and the second portion located outside the sound insulator may be covered by the folded sound insulator by folding at the third portion. The sound insulator can be folded, thereby making the wiring module compact and making it easy to put the wiring module into the vehicle through a side opening or a rear opening for a side door of the vehicle. In addition, the portion located outside the sound insulator can be folded at the third portion and covered by the folded sound insulator, thereby preventing the wiring member from sagging or getting caught when transporting the wiring module, thereby facilitating the transport of the wiring module.

[0028] (5) In the wiring module of (4), the fold may be provided in a middle portion along the front-rear direction of the vehicle so as to extend in the left-right direction of the vehicle, the third portion may be provided at the position of the fold, and the first portion may be provided at the front and rear sides of the vehicle across the fold. Thus, the sound insulator can be easily brought in from the side opening for the side door of the vehicle so that the left-right direction of the sound insulator coincides with the left-right direction of the vehicle. Thus, the brought-in sound insulator can be easily positioned on the floor.

[0029] (6) In the wiring module of (4), the fold may be provided in a middle portion along the left-right direction of the vehicle so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. This makes it easy to provide the first portion continuously from the front end to the rear end of the sound insulator in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0030] (7) In any one of the wiring modules described in (1) to (6), the second rigid member may be a resin sheet. This allows the second rigid member to be easily formed.

[0031] (8) In any one of the wiring modules of (1) to (7), the wiring member may include a plurality of linear transmission members, the third portion may include an adhesive tape for bundling the plurality of linear transmission members, and the second rigid member may have a higher rigidity than the adhesive tape. Thus, the third section of the wiring member is protected by the adhesive tape. In addition, the second section of the wiring member is protected by the second rigid member having a higher rigidity than the adhesive tape. [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure]

[0032] Hereinafter, specific examples of the wiring module of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is indicated by the claims, and is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0033] [Implementation Method 1]

[0034] Hereinafter, the wiring module according to the first embodiment will be described. Figure 1 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a vehicle 10 in which a wiring module 20 is arranged and a path of a wiring member 30 in the vehicle 10 . Figure 2 It is a plan view showing the wiring module 20 according to the first embodiment. Figure 3 It is along Figure 2 Cross-sectional view along line III-III. Figure 4 It is along Figure 2 A cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV. Figure 5 It is along Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of line VV.

[0035] The wiring module 20 includes a wiring member 30, a first rigid member 40, and a second rigid member 50. The first rigid member 40 and the second rigid member 50 are mounted at different locations relative to the wiring member 30. The wiring module 20 is arranged along a predetermined path in the vehicle 10. In this embodiment, a case where the wiring module 20 is arranged on the floor 11 of the vehicle 10 and its vicinity is described.

[0036] First, the vehicle 10 equipped with the wiring module 20 is described. The vehicle 10 includes a floor 11, a roof 12, and pillars 13. The floor 11 and the roof 12 are separated in the height direction of the vehicle 10. The floor 11 extends downward in the vehicle compartment. The roof 12 extends upward in the vehicle compartment. The pillars 13 extend in the height direction at the outer edges along the left-right direction of the vehicle 10 to connect the floor 11 and the roof 12. Figure 1 In the illustrated example, only the side edge portion of the roof 12 is shown, and other portions of the roof 12 are omitted.

[0037] exist Figure 1 In the example shown, a vehicle 10 is described that has an A-pillar 13A, a B-pillar 13B, and a C-pillar 13C as pillars 13. When the passenger seat located at the frontmost position in the vehicle 10 is set as the first seat, the A-pillar 13A is provided in front of the first seat. In the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10, when the passenger seat next to the first seat is set as the second seat, the B-pillar 13B is provided between the first seat and the second seat, and the C-pillar 13C is provided behind the second seat.

[0038] The vehicle 10 is provided with a side opening 14A for allowing passengers in the first seat to get on and off, and a side opening 14B for allowing passengers in the second seat to get on and off. The side opening 14A is an opening surrounded by the floor 11, the roof 12, the A-pillar 13A, and the B-pillar 13B. The side opening 14B is an opening surrounded by the floor 11, the roof 12, the B-pillar 13B, and the C-pillar 13C. Side doors (not shown) are installed in the side openings 14A and 14B in an openable and closable manner.

[0039] The vehicle 10 is provided with a rear opening 15 and a wheel housing 16. The rear opening 15 is provided with a rear glass or a rear door (not shown). Generally, the width of the rear opening 15 is larger than the width of the side openings 14A and 14B. The wheel housing 16 is a portion for housing wheels. Figure 1 In the example shown, a wheel house 16 for housing a rear wheel is described. The wheel house 16 is provided behind the side opening 14B.

[0040] In this example, the wiring module 20 has a portion arranged along the floor 11, a portion arranged along the B-pillar 13B, and a portion arranged along the wheel house 16. The portion where the wiring module 20 is arranged is bent at the B-pillar 13B and the wheel house 16. The wiring module 20 is arranged in a bent shape along the bent portion of the B-pillar 13B and the wheel house 16.

[0041] The wiring member 30 in this embodiment is also called a floor harness, and is arranged on the floor 11 and its vicinity. The wiring member 30 branches and extends from, for example, a battery, an ECU, etc. arranged in the front of the vehicle 10 to various devices arranged in the rear of the vehicle 10. The wiring member 30 includes a plurality of linear transmission members 31. The plurality of linear transmission members 31 connect the devices of the vehicle 10 to each other. The linear transmission member 31 transmits electricity or light. The linear transmission member 31 has a transmission line body and a coating covering the transmission line body. Here, the linear transmission member 31 is described as a coated electric wire having a conductor core wire 31a and a coating 31b. The linear transmission member 31 may also be an optical fiber cable. A connector 32 is provided at the end of the linear transmission member 31, for example.

[0042] The wiring member 30 includes a first section 33, a second section 34, and a third section 35. The first section 33, the second section 34, and the third section 35 are sections different from each other along the extension direction. The first rigid member 40 is mounted in the first section 33. The first section 33 is a section where the first rigid member 40 is mounted. In the present embodiment, the first section 33 has a section arranged on the floor 11 of the vehicle 10. The second rigid member 50 is mounted in the second section 34. The second section 34 is a section where the second rigid member 50 is mounted. In the present embodiment, the second section 34 has a section arranged along the pillar 13 of the vehicle 10. Neither the first rigid member 40 nor the second rigid member 50 is mounted in the third section 35. The third section 35 has a section located between the first section 33 and the second section 34. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the third section 35 has a section located between two first sections 33, a section located between two second sections 34, and a section located between two first sections 33 and arranged along the wheel house 16 of the vehicle 10.

[0043] In the wiring module 20, the portion including the first section 33 and the first rigid member 40 is the first portion 21, the portion including the second section 34 and the second rigid member 50 is the second portion 22, and the portion including the third section 35 is the third portion 23. The first portion 21, the second portion 22, and the third portion 23 are different portions in the wiring module 20. The third portion 23 has a bending ease that allows folding. The second portion 22 is easier to bend than the first portion 21, and harder to bend than the third portion 23.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 The difference in the ease of bending will be described in more detail. Figure 6 The diagram is for explaining the difference in bending ease among the first portion 21 , the second portion 22 , and the third portion 23 .

[0045] exist Figure 6 , the first part 21, the second part 22 and the third part 23 are respectively shown in a state where one end is supported. The other ends of the first part 21, the second part 22 and the third part 23 droop in different ways. The third part 23 bends near the supporting position and the other end droops significantly. The first part 21 and the second part 22 do not bend. The first part 21 remains straight and the second part 22 bends. The first part 21 and the second part 22 may both remain straight. In this case, when the other ends of the first part 21 and the second part 22 are pressed, the second part 22 may bend with a force weaker than that of the first part 21. The first part 21 and the second part 22 may both bend. In this case, the second part 22 may bend more than the first part 21.

[0046] The rigidity of the first rigid member 40 is higher than the rigidity of the second rigid member 50. For example, the first rigid member 40 has such rigidity that the linear shape can be maintained even if the weight of the linear transmission member 31 is applied. In the present embodiment, a protector 40 is provided as the first rigid member 40. The protector 40 includes a protector body 41 and a cover 42. The protector body 41 includes a bottom plate and a side plate, and a portion surrounded by the bottom plate and the side plate is formed in a groove shape. The linear transmission member 31 is accommodated in the groove. The cover 42 closes the upper opening of the groove.

[0047] The rigidity of the second rigid member 50 is lower than that of the first rigid member 40. For example, the second rigid member 50 has rigidity to maintain a straight shape when no external force is applied, and flexibility to bend when pressed. The second rigid member 50 may have rigidity to maintain a straight shape even when the weight of the linear transmission member 31 is applied, or rigidity to the extent that it bends due to the weight of the linear transmission member 31. The second rigid member 50 only needs to have rigidity not to bend due to the weight of the linear transmission member 31.

[0048] In this embodiment, the second rigid member 50 is a resin sheet 50. The resin is, for example, POM (polyacetal resin). Figure 4 In the example shown, the linear transmission member 31 is sandwiched between two sheets 50, but the linear transmission member 31 may be mounted on one sheet 50. In addition, the second rigid member 50 may be a member other than the resin sheet 50. For example, the second rigid member may be a thin metal sheet, etc. In addition, for example, the second rigid member may be a tubular member, etc.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the third portion 23 includes a tape 60 for bundling the plurality of linear transmission members 31. The third portion 23 can be bent together with the adhesive tape 60. The second rigid member 50 has a higher rigidity than the tape 60. However, the third portion 23 may not include the tape 60. The plurality of linear transmission members 31 may be bundled by a bundling member different from the tape 60. The bundling member may be a soft resin sheet or a binding tape. In the third portion 23, there may be a portion where no exterior member is provided and the plurality of linear transmission members 31 are exposed.

[0050] The first section 33, the second section 34, and the third section 35 include sections that are not in the middle of the end of the wiring member 30. The end of the wiring member 30 may also have the same flexibility as the third portion 23 for bending when the connector 32 is connected. The end of the wiring member 30 may also be integrated with the first rigid member 40 or the second rigid member 50 and restricted from bending. In this case, the connector 32 provided at the end may also be a waiting connector.

[0051] In the present embodiment, a plurality of first sections 33 (here, three) are provided. The three first sections 33 are sometimes referred to as first sections 33A, 33B, and 33C in order from the front along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10. The first sections 33A and 33B are arranged in the floor 11 at a position forward of the wheel housing 16, and the first section 33C is arranged at a position backward of the wheel housing 16. The portions of the first portion 21 corresponding to the first sections 33A, 33B, and 33C are referred to as first portions 21A, 21B, and 21C.

[0052] In the present embodiment, a plurality of (here, two) second sections 34 are provided. The two second sections 34 are sometimes referred to as second sections 34A and 34B in order from the bottom along the height direction of the vehicle 10. The portions of the second portion 22 corresponding to the second sections 34A and 34B are second portions 22A and 22B.

[0053] In the present embodiment, a plurality of third sections 35 (here, three) are provided. The third section 35A among the three third sections 35 is a section between the first section 33A and the second section 34A. The branch portion is located in the third section 35A, and also includes a section between the first section 33A and the first section 33B. The third section 35B is a section between the first section 33B and the first section 33C, and is a section arranged along the wheel house 16. The third section 35C is a section between the second section 34A and the second section 34B, and is a section arranged along the B-pillar 13B. The portion of the third portion 23 corresponding to the third sections 35A, 35B, and 35C is the third portion 23A, 23B, and 23C.

[0054] In addition, the section behind the first section 33C and the section above the second section 34B may be the first section, the second section, or the third section.

[0055] The third section 35 includes a curved path section. The curved path section is a section that is curved along the curved path in the vehicle 10. The third portion 23 is easy to bend, and therefore is also easy to bend along the curved path section. Here, the third section 35B is a curved path section that is curved along the wheel house 16. In addition, here, the third section 35A is a curved path section that is curved from the floor 11 toward the B-pillar 13B.

[0056] The third section 35 may include a folding section. The folding section is a section arranged in a straight line in the vehicle 10, but is a section that is easily bent for folding when the wiring module 20 is transported. For example, the section between the first section 33A and the first section 33B in the third section 35A may also be a folding section.

[0057] The paths of the first section 33 and the second section 34 are closer to a straight line than the path of the curved path section. The path of the first section 33 is closer to a straight line than the path of the second section 34. Here, the path of the first section 33 is a straight path.

[0058] The first section 33 and the second section 34 are longer than the third section 35 between the first section 33A and the second section 34. The first section 33 and the second section 34 are continuous with a certain length (for example, a length of 100 mm or more, a length of 200 mm or more, or a length of 300 mm or more).

[0059] The second portion 22 includes a curved portion. The second portion 22 is arranged along the gently curved support 13 (portion with a large curvature radius). The second portion 22 has flexibility to bend together with the second rigid member 50. Figure 7 The mounting of the second portion 22 will be described in more detail. Figure 7It is a diagram for explaining the state of attaching the second portion 22.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown by the imaginary line of , the second portion 22 is arranged roughly on the B-pillar 13B as the arrangement portion while maintaining a straight line to a certain extent. In this state, the fixing member 70 provided on the second portion 22 is separated from the B-pillar 13B. When the fixing member 70 is moved to be fixed to the B-pillar 13B, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown by the solid line, the second portion 22 is bent, and the fixing member 70 is fixed to the B-pillar 13B, so that the second portion 22 is maintained in a bent state. As a result, the second portion 22 is arranged in a bent shape along the bent B-pillar 13B.

[0061] In addition, it can also be that the position of the second position 22 is a cylindrical member with higher rigidity such as a metal that is bent and extended, and the second position 22 is configured in the mode of the inside through this cylindrical member. In this case, the second position 22 slides along the inner surface of the cylindrical member when passing the inside of the cylindrical member. At this time, the second position 22 is subjected to the power from the inner surface of the cylindrical member and is bent, is positioned at the inside of the cylindrical member under this state, and is configured into a curved shape along the curved cylindrical member thus.

[0062] The third portion 23 includes a portion that is arranged in a curved manner. The third portion 23 is more curved than the second portion 22. The third portion 23 has flexibility. The third portion 23 is arranged along the wheel house 16 that is more curved than the pillar 13 (a portion with a smaller radius of curvature).

[0063] Figure 8 1 and 2 are diagrams showing a state where the wiring module 20 is folded.

[0064] The wiring module 20 is bent at the third portion 23 to be in a folded state. Figure 8 As shown, the wiring module 20 can be folded so that the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 extend in parallel and overlap each other. In the wiring module 20, the end of the wiring member 30 can also be temporarily fixed to the first portion 21 by tape 60 or the like.

[0065] The folded wiring module 20 is conveyed by holding the first portion 21, thereby suppressing the sagging of the portion extending from the holding position. In the wiring member 30, the section from the connector 32A in front of the vehicle 10 to the branch portion below the B-pillar 13B is the section with the largest number and the heaviest weight of the linear transmission members 31. In the present embodiment, the first rigid member 40 is provided in this section. Thus, when the wiring module 20 is folded, the section is supported by the first rigid member 40 when the section is held, making it easy to hold the wiring module 20.

[0066] The folded wiring module 20 is carried to the floor 11 inside the vehicle 10 through the side openings 14A, 14B or the rear opening 15. The folded wiring module 20 is unfolded on the floor 11, and each part is arranged along a predetermined path. At this time, the first part 21 and the second part 22 can be unfolded while maintaining a straight line shape, so the unfolding becomes easy. <Effects, etc.>

[0067] According to the wiring module 20 configured as described above, by folding the portion of the third portion 23 located between the first section 33 and the second section 34, the wiring module 20 can be folded so that the first portion 21 and the second portion 22, each of which is provided with a rigid member, overlap. Since the first portion 21 is less likely to bend than the second portion 22 and the third portion 23, by holding the first portion 21 in the folded wiring module 20 and carrying it in, the wiring module 20 is less likely to bend, and carrying it in becomes easy. When the second portion 22 is unfolded in a state where the first portion 21 in the folded wiring module 20 after carrying is arranged at a predetermined position, since the second rigid member 50 is provided in the second portion 22, the second portion 22 is easily unfolded. In addition, since the second portion 22 is more likely to bend than the first portion 21, it is easy to deform the portion of the unfolded second portion 22 that deviates from the predetermined path in a manner along the predetermined path. Thus, carrying in and arranging the wiring module 20 along the predetermined path become easy.

[0068] In addition, the first section 33 includes a section arranged on the floor 11 of the vehicle 10, the second section 34 includes a section arranged along the pillar 13 of the vehicle 10, and the third section 35 includes a section arranged along the wheel house 16 of the vehicle 10. Thus, it is easy to carry in the wiring module 20 arranged on the floor 11 of the vehicle 10 and in the section adjacent to the floor 11 and to arrange it along a predetermined path.

[0069] In addition, the second rigid member 50 is a resin sheet 50. Thus, the second rigid member 50 can be formed easily.

[0070] In addition, the wiring member 30 includes a plurality of linear transmission members 31, the third portion 23 includes a tape 60 for bundling the plurality of linear transmission members 31, and the second rigid member 50 has a higher rigidity than the tape 60. Thus, the third section 35 of the wiring member 30 is protected by the tape 60. In addition, the second section 34 of the wiring member 30 is protected by the second rigid member 50 having a higher rigidity than the tape 60. [Implementation Method 2]

[0071] The wiring module according to the second embodiment will be described. Fig. 9 It is a plan view showing the wiring module 120 according to the second embodiment. Fig.10 It is along Fig. 9 Cross-sectional view of line XX. Fig.11 1 is a diagram showing a state where the wiring module 120 is folded. In the following description, the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

[0072] The wiring module 120 of this embodiment is different from the wiring module 20 described above in that a sound insulator 140 is provided instead of the protector 40. The sound insulator 140 covers the floor 11 of the vehicle 10. In the wiring module 120 of this embodiment, a part of the sound insulator 140 is a first rigid member 141. The sound insulator 140 may also be a member having numerous fibers. The sound insulator 140 may also be a nonwoven fabric or felt. The sound insulator 140 may also be a foamed resin.

[0073] The soundproofing member 140 includes a wiring arrangement portion 141 and a main body portion 144. The wiring arrangement portion 141 is a portion that arranges the first section 33 and becomes the first rigid member 141. The main body portion 144 is a portion that is continuous with the wiring arrangement portion 141 and is softer than the wiring arrangement portion 141. The wiring arrangement portion 141 and the main body portion 144 may be formed of the same material. The rigidity of the wiring arrangement portion 141 may be higher than that of the main body portion 144 by heat pressing a portion of a substrate having uniform rigidity. In addition, portions having different thicknesses may exist in the substrate, and the rigidity of the thick portion may be higher than that of the thin portion.

[0074] The wiring configuration portion 141 in the present embodiment has two clamping pieces 142, 143 for clamping the wiring member 30 from the upper and lower directions. The upper clamping piece 142 is formed by folding back a portion extending outward in the left-right direction of the vehicle 10 compared to the lower clamping piece 143. In addition, the sound insulating member 140 may be configured so that the clamping piece 142 is located at a lower side than the clamping piece 143. The two clamping pieces 142, 143 are fixed by a fixing member 70. In the width direction of the vehicle 10, the wiring member 30 is located at a position outside the fixing member 70, and the connection portion of the two clamping pieces 142, 143 is located at a position outside the wiring member 30.

[0075] Here, the fixing member 70 is a clamp including a base 71, a shaft 72 and a stopper 73. However, the fixing member 70 is not limited to a clamp as long as it can fix the two clamping pieces 142 and 143. For example, the fixing member 70 may also be a member in the form of an adhesive, a rivet or a glue needle. The shaft 72 connects the base 71 and the stopper 73. The shaft 72 passes through the two clamping pieces 142 and 143. The base 71 is located above the clamping piece 142 and is hooked on the clamping piece 142. The stopper 73 is located below the clamping piece 143 and is hooked on the clamping piece 143. When the sound insulation member 140 in the wiring module 120 is arranged on the floor 11, the stopper 73 may also be stopped on the floor 11. That is, the fixing member 70 may also serve as a vehicle fixing member. The fixing member 70 may not be fixed to the vehicle 10. The vehicle fixing member may be provided separately from the fixing member 70 or may not be provided.

[0076] A plurality of grooves may be provided on the surface of the wiring arrangement portion 141 that contacts the wiring member 30. The plurality of grooves are provided at intervals along the path of the wiring member 30. The plurality of grooves each extend in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the wiring member 30. A convex portion is formed between two grooves, and thus the convex portion can function as an anti-slip member of the wiring member 30.

[0077] In the state before being installed in the vehicle 10, the sound insulator 140 can be folded along the fold 146 provided in the main body portion 144. Since the wiring module 120 is folded at the third portion 23, the second portion 22 located outside the sound insulator 140 can be covered by the folded sound insulator 140. Specifically, first, the second portion 22 located outside the sound insulator 140 is folded at the third portion 23 between the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 and is located on the sound insulator 140. In this state, the wiring member 30 is further folded at the third portion 23 between the two first portions 21 on the sound insulator 140, and the sound insulator 140 is folded at the fold 146, so that the second portion 22 is covered by the folded sound insulator 140. Similarly, here, the third portion 23 located outside the sound insulator 140, the first portion 21C, and the portion behind it can also be covered by the folded sound insulator 140. The size of the sound insulator 140 before folding is such that it cannot pass through the side openings 14A and 14B, and the size of the sound insulator 140 after folding is such that it can pass through the side openings 14A and 14B. Therefore, the wiring module 120 before folding has a size that cannot pass through the side openings 14A and 14B, and the wiring module 120 after folding has a size that can pass through the side openings 14A and 14B.

[0078] The fold 146 is provided in the middle portion along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10 so as to extend in the left-right direction of the vehicle 10, and the third portion 23 is provided at the position of the fold 146, and the first portion 21 is provided at the front side and the rear side of the vehicle 10 across the fold 146. A groove may be provided at the fold 146. The groove extends along the fold 146. By providing the groove at the fold 146, the fold 146 is easily recognizable. In addition, the sound insulator 140 is easily bent at the fold 146.

[0079] Furthermore, in the wiring module 120 of the present embodiment, the wiring member 30 disposed on the left side and the wiring member 30 disposed on the right side in the vehicle 10 are integrated with each other via the sound insulator 140 .

[0080] Such a wiring module 120 can also provide the same effects as those of the wiring module 20 according to the first embodiment.

[0081] In addition, the wiring module 120 includes a sound insulator 140 covering the floor 11 of the vehicle 10, and the sound insulator 140 includes a wiring arrangement portion 141 that arranges the first section 33 and serves as a first rigid member 141, and a main body portion 144 that is continuous with the wiring arrangement portion 141 and is softer than the wiring arrangement portion 141. Thus, the sound insulator 140 can be integrated with the wiring member 30 and rigidity can be imparted to the first section 33 by the sound insulator 140.

[0082] In addition, in a state before being installed in the vehicle 10, the sound insulator 140 can be folded along the fold 146 provided in the main body portion 144, and the second portion 22 located outside the sound insulator 140 can be covered by the folded sound insulator 140 by folding the wiring module 120 at the third portion 23. The sound insulator 140 can be folded, so that the wiring module 120 can be made compact, and the wiring module 120 can be easily put into the vehicle 10 from the side openings 14A and 14B for the side doors of the vehicle 10 or the rear opening 15. In addition, the portion located outside the sound insulator 140 can be bent at the third portion 23 and covered by the folded sound insulator 140, thereby preventing the wiring member 30 from sagging or getting caught when the wiring module 120 is transported, and the wiring module 120 can be easily transported.

[0083] In addition, the fold 146 is provided in the middle portion along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10 so as to extend in the left-right direction of the vehicle 10, the third portion 23 is provided at the position of the fold 146, and the first portion 21 is provided at the front and rear sides of the vehicle 10 across the fold 146. Thus, the sound insulator 140 can be easily carried in from the side openings 14A and 14B for the side doors of the vehicle 10 so that the left-right direction of the sound insulator 140 coincides with the left-right direction of the vehicle 10. Thus, the carried-in sound insulator 140 can be easily positioned on the floor 11. [Variation of Embodiment 2]

[0084] Fig.12 This is a plan view showing a modified example of the wiring module 120 according to the second embodiment. Fig.13 It is along Fig.12 A cross-sectional view taken along line XIII-XIII.

[0085] exist Fig.12 In the wiring module 220 shown, the direction of the fold 246 of the sound insulator 240 is different from the direction of the fold 146 of the sound insulator 140 in the wiring module 120. Specifically, the fold 246 is provided in the middle portion along the left-right direction of the vehicle 10 so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10. Thus, it is easy to provide the first portion 21 continuously from the front end to the rear end of the sound insulator 240 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10 without interruption.

[0086] The wiring arrangement portion 241 as the first rigid member in the wiring module 220 also has two clamping pieces 242 and 243 that clamp the wiring member 30 from the upper and lower directions, similarly to the wiring arrangement portion 141. In the wiring module 220, the arrangement of the two clamping pieces 242 and 243 is different from the arrangement of the two clamping pieces 142 and 143 in the wiring module 120. Specifically, the upper clamping piece 242 is formed by folding back a portion of the sound insulator 240 that is located inward in the left-right direction of the vehicle 10 compared to the lower clamping piece 243. The portion of the sound insulator 240 that remains after the upper clamping piece 242 is folded back has a long hole 245 that is long in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10. The slide rail 17 for the seat may be arranged in the long hole 245. The two clamping pieces 242 and 243 are also fixed by the fixing member 70. In the width direction of the vehicle 10, the wiring member 30 is located outside the connection portion of the two clamping pieces 242 and 243, and the fixing member 70 is located outside the wiring member 30. A plurality of fixing members 70 are provided at intervals in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10. The portion of the wiring member 30 that branches from the portion along the floor 11 and faces the B-pillar 13B extends from between the plurality of fixing members 70 to the outside of the sound insulator 240. In addition, the sound insulator 240 may be configured so that the clamping piece 242 is located below the clamping piece 243. [Note]

[0087] So far, it has been described that the first section 33 includes a section arranged on the floor 11 of the vehicle 10, the second section 34 includes a section arranged along the pillar 13 of the vehicle 10, and the third section 35 includes a section arranged along the wheel house 16 of the vehicle 10, but this is not a necessary structure. The wiring member 30 may be arranged in a position different from the floor 11 and its vicinity in the vehicle 10.
