Fig.14 is a diagram showing the axis disposed on the protruding portion, Fig.15 It is a plan view showing another example of the wiring structure according to the embodiment.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the wiring structure 1 of the present embodiment is mounted on a vehicle 100 such as an automobile. The wiring structure 1 has a protector 2, a rotating component 3, an exterior component 4, and an electric wire W. The wiring structure 1 connects a body 110 of the vehicle 100 with a sliding body 120. The sliding body 120 is, for example, a sliding door. The sliding body 120 moves relative to the body 110 along a first direction X. The first direction X is, for example, the front-rear direction of the vehicle 100. The sliding body 120 can slide by the action of a link mechanism connecting the body 110 and the sliding body 120. The sliding body 120 can also slide while being guided by a track arranged on the body 110.

[0051] The sliding body 120 moves between a first position P1 and a second position P2. The first position P1 is the first end of the sliding range of the sliding body 120, and the second position P2 is the second end of the sliding range of the sliding body 120. The first position P1 is, for example, the fully closed position of the sliding door. The second position P2 is, for example, the fully open position of the sliding door.

[0052] The protector 2 is disposed on the vehicle body 110 of the vehicle 100. The protector 2 is a cylindrical member having a wiring path 50 for routing the electric wires W. The protector 2 is molded of, for example, an insulating synthetic resin.

[0053] The rotating member 3 is rotatably supported by the protector 2. The rotating member 3 has a cylindrical portion 31 through which the power supply wire W is inserted, and is arranged in the wiring path 50 of the protector 2. The rotating member 3 rotates between a first rotation position and a second rotation position. Figure 1 The position of the rotating member 3 indicated by the solid line is the first rotational position. The first rotational position is a rotational position in which the cylinder 31 faces the slider 120 located at the first position P1. Figure 1 The position of the rotating member 3 indicated by the dashed line is the second rotational position. The second rotational position is a rotational position where the cylinder 31 faces the slider 120 located at the second position P2.

[0054] The outer casing 4 is a cylindrical protective member covering the electric wire W. The outer casing 4 is, for example, a corrugated member called a corrugated tube. One end of the outer casing 4 is held by the rotating member 3. The other end of the outer casing 4 is held by a holding member 130 disposed on the sliding body 120.

[0055] The wiring structure 1 has at least one electric wire W. The electric wire W is laid in the protector 2, the rotating member 3, the exterior member 4, and the holding member 130. The electric wire W is connected to a device disposed in the sliding body 120. The electric wire W includes, for example, a power line and a communication line.

[0056] The holding member 130 is disposed on the slider 120 and moves together with the slider 120 in the first direction X. The holding member 130 is, for example, a rotatably supported rotor member. In this case, the holding member 130 can extend the exterior member 4 substantially linearly from the rotating member 3 to the holding member 130 .

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the protector 2 includes a lower cover 5 and an upper cover 6. The lower cover 5 includes a groove-shaped wiring path 50 for routing the electric wire W. The upper cover 6 is engaged with the lower cover 5 in a manner to cover the wiring path 50. The wiring path 50 includes a first opening 51 and a second opening 52. The first opening 51 is an opening for leading the electric wire W toward the vehicle body 110. The second opening 52 is an opening for leading the electric wire W toward the slider 120.

[0058] The lower cover 5 has a through hole 53 for supporting the rotating member 3 so as to be rotatable. The through hole 53 is arranged near the second opening 52 in the wiring path 50. The through hole 53 penetrates the lower cover 5 along the engagement direction of the lower cover 5 and the upper cover 6. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the upper cover 6 has a recess 61. The recess 61 is opposite to the through hole 53 of the lower cover 5. The upper cover 6 supports the rotating member 3 rotatably via the recess 61. Figure 2As shown, an engaging portion 54 is provided on the outer side of the lower cover 5. The upper cover 6 has an engaging portion 62 engaged with the engaging portion 54. The lower cover 5 and the upper cover 6 have fixing portions 55 and 63 fixed to the vehicle body 110. The fixing portions 55 and 63 have through holes for inserting fastening members such as bolts.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating member 3 includes a first member 7 and a second member 8. The first member 7 and the second member 8 are molded of, for example, insulating synthetic resin. The first member 7 includes an opposing wall 70, a first side wall 71, and a second side wall 72. The second member 8 includes an opposing wall 80, a first side wall 81, and a second side wall 82. The first member 7 and the second member 8 are engaged with each other while the opposing walls 70 and 80 are opposed to each other.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the first component 7 has a shaft portion 73. The shaft portion 73 is inserted into the through hole 53 of the protector 2 and is supported by the through hole 53 so as to be rotatable. The shaft portion 73 protrudes from the opposing wall 70 toward the side opposite to the side walls 71 and 72. The shaft portion 73 is arranged at a first end portion 70a in the longitudinal direction of the opposing wall 70. The first end portion 70a is an end portion from which the electric wire W is led out toward the first opening portion 51 of the protector 2.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the side walls 71 and 72 of the first component 7 are erected from the edge of the opposing wall 70. A channel having a rectangular cross-sectional shape is formed by the opposing wall 70, the first side wall 71 and the second side wall 72. The first side wall 71 of the present embodiment extends in a straight line. The second side wall 72 has a curved end. In more detail, the second side wall 72 is curved in a manner that it moves away from the first side wall 71 as it approaches the first end 70a of the opposing wall 70. The width of the opposing wall 70 changes according to the curved shape of the second side wall 72, and becomes wider as it approaches the first end 70a. The edge 70b of the first end 70a has a substantially arc shape. The second end 70c of the opposing wall 70 has a rib 74 that locks the end of the exterior component 4. The second end 70c is the end of the opposing wall 70 on the opposite side of the first end 70a.

[0062] The second member 8 has a shaft 83. The shaft 83 is inserted into the recess 61 of the protector 2 and is rotatably supported by the recess 61. The shaft 83 protrudes from the opposing wall 80 toward the side opposite to the side walls 81 and 82. The shaft 83 is disposed at a first end 80a in the longitudinal direction of the opposing wall 80. The first end 80a is an end opposite to the first end 70a of the first member 7.

[0063] The side walls 81 and 82 of the second component 8 are erected from the edge of the opposing wall 80. A passage having a rectangular cross-sectional shape is formed by the opposing wall 80, the first side wall 81, and the second side wall 82. The first side wall 81 extends in a straight line. The second side wall 82 has an end portion that is bent in a manner corresponding to the second side wall 72 of the first component 7. More specifically, the second side wall 82 is bent in a manner that is away from the first side wall 81 as it approaches the first end portion 80a of the opposing wall 80. Therefore, the width of the opposing wall 80 becomes wider as it approaches the first end portion 80a. The edge 80b of the first end portion 80a has a substantially arc shape.

[0064] The first member 7 has an engagement portion 75. The second member 8 has an engagement portion 85 that engages with the engagement portion 75. By combining the first member 7 and the second member 8, a square tube-shaped cylinder 31 is formed. The electric wire W is led out from the second end portion 70c toward the slider 120.

[0065] exist Figure 6 3 shows the rotating member 3 at the first rotational position. The exterior member 4 and the wire W extend from the rotating member 3 toward the sliding body 120 at the first position P1. Figure 7 3 is shown in the figure at the second rotation position. The outer casing 4 and the wire W extend from the rotating member 3 toward the sliding body 120 at the second position P2. The rotating member 3 of this embodiment rotates around the axis CX as the rotation center. As described below, the position of the axis CX is determined so that an appropriate curvature radius R is formed on the wire W.

[0066] exist Figure 8 , a single rotating member 3 is shown. The axis CX is the central axis of the shaft portion 83. The shaft portion 73 and the shaft portion 83 are arranged coaxially. Therefore, the axis CX is also the central axis of the shaft portion 73. The position of the axis CX is a position offset from the central axis CL of the cylinder 31. The position of the axis CX is set so that the length of the wiring path of the electric wire W is equal when the rotating member 3 is in the first rotation position and when the rotating member 3 is in the second rotation position.

[0067] exist Fig. 9 , a single-dot chain line indicates the wiring path W2 of the electric wire W when the slider 120 is located at the second position P2. The radius of curvature R of the electric wire W inside the protector 2 changes according to the direction in which the electric wire W is led out toward the slider 120. In the configuration of the protector 2 of the present embodiment, the radius of curvature R of the electric wire W when the slider 120 is located at the second position P2 becomes smaller than when the slider 120 is located at the first position P1. The wiring path W2 is a target path, and is set so that the radius of curvature R at the base point WB becomes greater than a specified value. When the slider 120 moves, the bending direction of the electric wire W changes with the base point WB as the base point.

[0068] exist Fig. 9 , the axial direction WX of the base point WB is shown in FIG. Here, when the width Wd is shortened for miniaturization of the protector 2, the deflection angle of the wire W relative to the axial direction WX tends to become uneven. More specifically, when the slider 120 is located at the first position P1, the deflection angle of the wire W relative to the axial direction WX is a first angle θ1. When the slider 120 is located at the second position P2, the deflection angle of the wire W relative to the axial direction WX is a second angle θ2. When the width Wd is shortened, the second angle θ2 becomes an angle larger than the first angle θ1.

[0069] In the case where the deflection angles of the wires W are not uniform, it is necessary to control so that the curvature radius R of the wires W when the slider 120 is located at the second position P2 is not too small. Fig.10 3 shows a rotating member 300 of a comparative example. In the rotating member 300 of the comparative example, the axis CX is arranged on the central axis CL of the barrel 31. In the wiring path W3 of the electric wire W formed by the rotating member 300 of the comparative example, the curvature radius R of the electric wire W becomes smaller. This is because the path length from the first opening 51 to the terminal 31a of the barrel 31 becomes shorter due to the shortening of the width Wd.

[0070] like Fig.11 As shown, in the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment, when the rotating member 3 is in the second rotation position, the axis CX is located on the first opening 51 side relative to the central axis CL of the cylinder 31. That is, the axis CX is located eccentrically relative to the central axis CL of the cylinder 31. Fig.11 The comparison line CL0 shown is Fig.10 The central axis of the cylindrical portion 31 when the rotating member 300 of the comparative example shown is located at the second rotation position. In other words, the comparison line CL0 is the central axis of the cylindrical portion 31 when the axis CX is set on the central axis CL.

[0071] like Fig.11 As shown, when the rotating member 3 is in the second rotation position, the central axis CL of the present embodiment is located away from the first opening 51 relative to the comparison line CL0. Therefore, according to the wiring structure 1 of the present embodiment, the curvature radius R of the wire W inside the protector 2 can be increased.

[0072] The position of the axis CX is preferably set so that the path length of the wire W at the first rotation position is equal to the path length of the wire W at the second rotation position. Here, the two path lengths are the path lengths from the first opening 51 of the protector 2 to the end 31a of the barrel 31. The path length at the second rotation position is set so that the curvature radius R of the wire W inside the protector 2 becomes greater than a predetermined value.

[0073] Here, an example of a method for determining the position of the axis CX is described. Fig.12 2 shows two designed wiring paths W1 and W2. The wiring path W1 is a wiring path of the wire W when the sliding body 120 is located at the first position P1. The wiring path W1 is determined based on the relative position of the holding member 130 with respect to the protector 2 and the shape of the wiring path 50. In the present embodiment, when the sliding body 120 is located at the first position P1, the holding member 130 is located in the extension direction D1 of the wiring path 50 with respect to the protector 2. Therefore, the wire W extends from the protector 2 along the extension direction D1. Therefore, the wiring path W1 is gently curved in the wiring path 50.

[0074] When the slider 120 is located at the second position P2, the holding member 130 is located in the direction D2 intersecting the extension direction D1 relative to the protector 2. Therefore, the wire W extends from the protector 2 along the direction D2. The direction D2 of the present embodiment intersects the extension direction D1 at an angle close to a right angle. Therefore, the wiring path W2 is bent in a manner that greatly changes the direction of the wire W in the wiring path 50. The wiring path W2 is set so that the curvature radius R formed on the wire W becomes greater than the predetermined value R1.

[0075] The target position of the rotating component 3 is set based on the wiring paths W1 and W2. Fig.12 , two positions 3A and 3B of the rotating member 3 are shown. Position 3A is the target position of the rotating member 3 when the slider 120 is located at the first position P1. That is, position 3A is a position where the wire W extends along the wiring path W1. Position 3A is determined, for example, so that the center line of the wiring path W1 coincides with the center axis CL of the barrel 31.

[0076] The position 3B is the target position of the rotating member 3 when the slider 120 is located at the second position P2. That is, the position 3B is a position where the electric wire W extends along the wiring path W2. The position 3B is determined, for example, so that the center line of the wiring path W2 coincides with the center axis CL of the barrel 31. The two positions 3A and 3B are set so that the length of the electric wire from the first opening 51 to the end 31a of the barrel 31 is equal. As described below, the position of the axis CX is set to take into account both the two positions 3A and 3B.

[0077] like Fig.13 As shown, the barrel 31 has two corners 31b and 31c. Fig.13, a line segment L1 connecting the corner 31b at position 3A and the corner 31b at position 3B and a perpendicular bisector B1 of the line segment L1 are shown. Also, a line segment L2 connecting the corner 31c at position 3A and the corner 31c at position 3B and a perpendicular bisector B2 of the line segment L2 are shown. The axis CX is set at the intersection of the two perpendicular bisectors B1 and B2. Thus, the rotating member 3 is positioned at the two target positions 3A and 3B.

[0078] In addition, if Fig.14 As shown, when the rotating member 3 has the protruding portion 32 , the axis CX may be arranged on the protruding portion 32 . Fig.14 The rotating member 3 shown has a protruding portion 32 protruding from the cylindrical portion 31. The protruding portion 32 protrudes in a direction away from the central axis CL from the cylindrical portion 31. By arranging the axis CX at the protruding portion 32, the distance from the central axis CL to the axis CX becomes larger.

[0079] As described above, the wiring structure 1 of the present embodiment includes the protector 2 and the rotating member 3. The protector 2 is disposed on the vehicle body 110 of the vehicle 100 and includes the wiring path 50. The wire W connecting the vehicle body 110 and the sliding body 120 is laid in the wiring path 50. The rotating member 3 is disposed in the wiring path 50. The rotating member 3 includes the cylinder 31 through which the power supply wire W is inserted, and is supported by the protector 2 so as to be rotatable. The wiring path 50 includes the first opening 51 for leading the wire W toward the vehicle body 110, and the second opening 52 for leading the wire W toward the sliding body 120 as a counterpart.

[0080] The rotating member 3 rotates between a first rotation position and a second rotation position. The first rotation position is a rotation position in which the barrel 31 faces the sliding member 120 when the sliding member 120 as a counterpart is located at a first position P1 in the sliding direction. The second rotation position is a rotation position in which the barrel 31 faces the sliding member 120 when the sliding member 120 as a counterpart is located at a second position P2 in the sliding direction. The wire W is bent between the first opening 51 and the rotating member 3 when the rotating member 3 is located at the second rotation position. When the rotating member 3 is located at the second rotation position, the axis CX of the rotation shaft that rotates the rotating member 3 is located on the first opening 51 side relative to the central axis CL of the barrel 31. According to the wiring structure 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to adjust the curvature radius R of the wire W inside the protector 2 so as not to be too small.

[0081] The rotating member 3 may include a protrusion 32 that protrudes in a direction away from the central axis CL relative to the cylinder 31. In this case, the axis CX may be arranged at the protrusion 32. The protrusion 32 may be provided to include Fig.13That is, the protrusion 32 may be provided according to the position of the target axis CX.

[0082] In addition, the protector 2 and the rotating member 3 may also be disposed on the sliding body 120. Fig.15 , a wiring structure 1 having a protector 2 and a rotating member 3 arranged on a sliding body 120 is shown. The protector 2 is arranged on the sliding body 120 and fixed to the sliding body 120. In this case, the electric wire W is led out from the first opening 51 of the wiring path 50 toward the sliding body 120. In addition, the electric wire W is led out from the second opening 52 toward the vehicle body 110 as a counterpart.

[0083] The holding member 130 is disposed on the vehicle body 110 and holds the end of the exterior member 4. The holding member 130 is, for example, a rotor member supported to be rotatable. A vehicle body side protector 140 that supports the holding member 130 to be rotatable may be disposed on the vehicle body 110. In this case, the electric wire W is led out from the vehicle body side protector 140 toward a power source or the like.

[0084] The rotating member 3 is disposed in the wiring path 50 of the protector 2 and is rotatably supported by the protector 2 . The rotating member 3 rotates so that the exterior member 4 extends toward the holding member 130 .

[0085] exist Fig.15 , the position of the rotating member 3 indicated by the solid line is the first rotation position. The first rotation position is a rotation position in which the cylinder 31 faces the vehicle body 110 as the counterpart when the sliding body 120 is at the first position P1 in the sliding direction. More specifically, the rotating member 3 at the first rotation position faces the cylinder 31 toward the retaining member 130.

[0086] The position of the rotating member 3 indicated by the single-dot chain line is the second rotation position. The second rotation position is a rotation position in which the cylinder 31 faces the vehicle body 110 as the counterpart when the sliding body 120 is at the second position P2 in the sliding direction. More specifically, the rotating member 3 at the second rotation position faces the cylinder 31 toward the holding member 130.

[0087] The wire W is bent between the first opening 51 and the rotating member 3 when the rotating member 3 is located at the second rotation position. Fig.11 As described above, when the rotating member 3 is located at the second rotation position, the axis CX of the rotating shaft that rotates the rotating member 3 is located on the first opening 51 side relative to the central axis CL of the cylinder 31. The wiring structure 1 of this embodiment can be adjusted so that the curvature radius R of the wire W inside the protector 2 is not too small even when the protector 2 and the rotating member 3 are arranged on the sliding body 120.

[0088] In addition, the shape and configuration of the protector 2 are not limited to the shape and configuration of the example. In addition, the shape and configuration of the rotating member 3 are not limited to the shape and configuration of the example. The sliding body 120 is not limited to the sliding door. The sliding body 120 may also be other components that slide relative to the vehicle body 110.

[0089] The shaft portions 73 and 83 that rotatably support the rotating member 3 may be provided on the protector 2. In this case, the rotating member 3 may be provided with a recessed portion or a through hole into which the shaft portions 73 and 83 are inserted.

[0090] The contents disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments can be executed in combination as appropriate.
