[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-218625 Summary of the invention Problems to be solved by the invention

[0004] However, in the wiring harness as described above, before the protector cover is fixed to the protector body, the wire component housed in the protector body needs to extend to the connector held in the protector cover, so the wire component needs excess length. Therefore, when the protector cover is fixed to the protector body, it is possible that the excess length of the wire component is caught between the protector body and the protector cover. In addition, it is also considered that by providing a retaining portion for retaining the connector on the bottom side of the protector body, the excess length of the wire component is not required. However, depending on the connector, it is sometimes difficult to provide a retained portion at a position corresponding to the bottom side of the protector body due to functional constraints or manufacturing constraints.

[0010] [Description of Embodiments of the Invention] First, embodiments of the present invention will be described by way of examples. The wiring harness of the present invention, [1] comprising: a wire component; a connector fixed to an end of the wire component; a protector body extending along the extension direction of the wire component and having a U-shaped cross-section having an opening portion for accommodating the wire component; a protector cover covering the opening portion; and a cover connected to the protector body via a hinge portion and openably and closably disposed on a part of the opening portion from an open state to a closed state, the connector having a retained portion, the cover having a retaining portion, the retaining portion retaining the connector by engaging with the retained portion, the retaining portion being configured such that the connector can be engaged with the retained portion by being moved along the extension direction of the wire component when the cover is in the closed state.

[0011] According to this structure, the connector moves along the extension direction of the wire component when the cover is closed, so that the retained portion is engaged with the retaining portion of the cover and retained. Therefore, before the protector cover is fixed to the protector body, the wire component can be stored in the protector body in advance. In other words, before the protector cover is fixed to the protector body, the wire component can be in a state where it does not extend from the protector body. Therefore, when the protector cover is fixed to the protector body, the wire component can be prevented from being bitten between the protector body and the protector cover. In addition, the retained portion of the connector is arranged on the opening side of the protector body. Therefore, for example, the following connector can be used: the connector is provided with a locking portion with an external connector on the side opposite to the retained portion, that is, it is desired to configure the locking portion at a position corresponding to the bottom side of the protector body.

[0012] [2] In the above [1], the cover may include a claw, the protector body may include a locking portion, and the claw may be locked to the locking portion in the closed state of the cover. According to this structure, the cover has a claw, and the protector body has a locking portion. When the cover is closed, the claw is locked to the locking portion, so the cover can be maintained in the closed state. Therefore, for example, when the held portion of the connector is engaged with the holding portion of the cover in the closed state of the cover, the opening action of the cover can be suppressed. Therefore, for example, the assembly performance becomes good.

[0013] [3] In the above [2], the protector cover may restrict the opening movement of the cover by covering the cover in the closed state while covering the opening. According to this structure, the protector cover covers the closed lid while covering the opening, thereby suppressing the opening of the lid, so that the opening of the lid can be further suppressed. Therefore, for example, the connector can be prevented from falling off relative to the protector body.

[0014] [4] In any one of the above [1] to [3], the protector cover may have a suppressing portion, and when the protector cover covers the opening portion, the suppressing portion can engage with the cover in a direction intersecting with the opening and closing direction of the cover to suppress movement of the cover in the direction intersecting with the opening and closing direction of the cover.

[0015] According to this structure, the protector cover has the suppressing portion for suppressing the movement of the cover in the direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover, so that the shaking of the cover in the direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover can be suppressed. Therefore, shaking of the connector can be suppressed.

[0016] [5] In the above-mentioned [4], the cover may have a square hole, and the suppressing portion may be a protrusion that fits into the square hole. According to this structure, since the suppression portion is a protrusion that fits into the square hole of the cover, the shaking of the cover in the direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover can be well suppressed. Therefore, the shaking of the connector can be well suppressed.

[0017] [6] In the above [5], the protrusion may be able to penetrate the square hole and abut against the connector, thereby suppressing movement of the connector by abutting against the connector. According to this structure, the protrusion can pass through the square hole and abut against the connector. The abutment against the connector can suppress the movement of the connector, so the shaking of the connector can be further suppressed.

[0018] [7] In the above [6], the protector body may include a support portion capable of supporting the connector at a position facing the tip of the protrusion. According to this configuration, the protector body has the support portion capable of supporting the connector at a position facing the tip of the protrusion, so that the connector is sandwiched between the support portion and the protrusion, and shaking of the connector can be further suppressed.

[0019] The protector of the present invention, [8] It comprises: a protector body extending along the extension direction of the wire component having a connector fixed at the end thereof, and having a cross-sectional shape formed into a U-shape having an opening portion, for accommodating the wire component; a protector cover covering the opening portion; and a cover connected to the protector body via a hinge portion, and being openably and closably disposed on a part of the opening portion from an open state to a closed state, the cover having a retaining portion, the retaining portion retaining the connector by engaging with a retained portion of the connector, the retaining portion being configured such that the connector can be moved along the extension direction of the wire component in the closed state of the cover, thereby being engaged with the retained portion.

[0020] According to this structure, the connector moves along the extension direction of the wire component when the cover is closed, so that the retained portion is engaged with the retaining portion of the cover and retained. Therefore, before the protector cover is fixed to the protector body, the wire component can be stored in the protector body in advance. In other words, before the protector cover is fixed to the protector body, the wire component can be in a state where it does not extend from the protector body. Therefore, when the protector cover is fixed to the protector body, the wire component can be prevented from being bitten between the protector body and the protector cover. In addition, the retained portion of the connector is arranged on the opening side of the protector body. Therefore, for example, the following connector can be used: the connector is provided with a locking portion with an external connector on the side opposite to the retained portion, that is, it is desired to configure the locking portion at a position corresponding to the bottom side of the protector body.

In addition, the protector body 41 of the present embodiment is a shape corresponding to the branched wire member 20, and branches in the middle. And, in the present embodiment, the portion on one side of the protector body 41 where the above-mentioned connector 30 is arranged is described.

[0029] (Structure of Protector Cover 42) The protector cover 42 extends along the extension direction of the electric wire member 20 and is formed in a plate shape corresponding to the entire opening portion 44 of the protector body 41. The protector cover 42 covers the opening portion 44 of the protector body 41. The protector cover 42 has a fitting portion 46 at a position corresponding to the fitted portion 45. The fitting portion 46 is fitted into the fitted portion 45, so that the protector cover 42 is attached to the protector body 41.

[0030] (Structure of cover 43) like Figure 3 to Figure 5 As shown, the cover 43 is formed in a plate shape corresponding to a portion of the opening 44 of the protector body 41. The cover 43 is arranged at a position corresponding to the position where the connector 30 is arranged. In addition, the cover 43 is connected to the protector body 41 via a hinge portion 47, and can be opened from the open state (see Figure 3 ) to the closed state (refer to Figure 4) is provided in a part of the opening 44 so as to be openable and closable. The hinge 47 is a thin-walled portion formed in a flexible manner, and connects the protector body 41 and the cover 43. That is, the protector body 41 and the cover 43 are made of a resin material and are an integrally formed product connected via the hinge 47 as a thin-walled portion.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 4 , the cover 43 has a claw 48. The claw 48 is provided on the side of the cover 43 opposite to the hinge portion 47. In addition, the protector body 41 has a locking portion 49 (see FIG. 4 ). Figure 2 and Figure 7 ), when the cover 43 is in the closed state, the claw 48 is locked in the locking portion 49. That is, when the cover 43 is in the closed state, the claw 48 is locked in the locking portion 49 of the protector body 41, and the closed state of the cover 43 is maintained.

[0032] In addition, if Figure 3 to Figure 6 As shown, the cover 43 has a square hole 50. The square hole 50 penetrates the plate-shaped cover 43. The square hole 50 is a quadrilateral hole. The square hole 50 is a quadrilateral hole having sides along the extending direction of the protector body 41.

[0033] In addition, if Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , the cover 43 has a holding portion 51, and the holding portion 51 holds the connector 30 by engaging with the held portion 31 of the connector 30. The holding portion 51 extends in the cover 43 in a direction toward the end of the extension direction of the protector body 41. The holding portion 51 is formed in a plate shape that can be inserted into the storage portion 32 of the held portion 31. In addition, the holding portion 51 has a locking claw 33 (see FIG. 1 ) in the storage portion 32 when the holding portion 51 is stored in the storage portion 32. Figure 6 ) a locking hole 52 for locking.

[0034] In other words, the held portion 31 of the connector 30 is configured to engage with the holding portion 51 by moving the connector 30 in the extending direction of the wire member 20 , ie, the extending direction of the protector body 41 , when the cover 43 is closed.

[0035] That is, Figures 4 to 5 As shown, when the connector 30 is moved toward the back of the protector body 41 along the extending direction of the wire member 20 in the closed state of the cover 43 , the held portion 31 is engaged with the holding portion 51 of the cover 43 and is held thereby.

[0036] In addition, the protector cover 42 is configured to suppress the opening action of the cover 43 by covering the lid 43 in the closed state while being assembled to the protector body 41 , that is, covering the opening 44 .

[0037] In addition, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the protector cover 42 has a protrusion 53 as a suppressing portion, and when the protector cover 42 covers the opening portion 44, the protrusion 53 as the suppressing portion can engage with the cover 43 in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover 43, thereby suppressing the movement of the cover 43 in the direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover 43. The protrusion 53 is formed in a manner of being embedded in the square hole 50 of the cover 43. The protrusion 53 of this embodiment is formed in a square cylindrical shape.

[0038] In addition, the protrusion 53 is configured to pass through the square hole 50 and abut against the connector 30, thereby suppressing the movement of the connector 30 by abutting against the connector 30. Specifically, the top of the protrusion 53 is configured to abut against the upper surface of the connector 30, and even if the connector 30 wants to move upward, the connector 30 is suppressed from moving upward by abutting against the connector 30. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In FIG. 1 , the internal cross section of the connector 30 is schematically illustrated together.

[0039] In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, the protector body 41 has a support portion 54 capable of supporting the connector 30 at a position opposite to the top end of the protrusion 53. The support portion 54 protrudes from the bottom of the protector body 41 toward the opening 44 side and can support the lower surface of the connector 30. As a result, the connector 30 is clamped by the support portion 54 and the protrusion 53.

[0040] Next, the operation of the wire harness 10 configured as described above will be described. like Figure 3 As shown, in the wire harness 10 , before the protector cover 42 is fixed to the protector body 41 , that is, in a state where the cover 43 is opened, first, the electric wire member 20 is accommodated in the protector body 41 .

[0041] And, then, if Figure 4 As shown, the cover 43 is in a closed state. And, then, if Figure 5 As shown, the connector 30 moves along the extension direction of the wire member 20, so that the held portion 31 of the connector 30 engages with the holding portion 51 of the cover 43 and is held thereby. In addition, at this time, the wire member 20 may be bent and protrude from the protector body 41, but in this case, the protruding wire member 20 can be pressed in so that the wire member 20 does not protrude from the protector body 41.

[0042] And, then, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, by fixing the protector cover 42 to the protector body 41 , the assembly of the wire harness 10 is completed. Next, the effects of the above-described embodiment will be described below.

[0043] (1) The connector 30 moves in the extending direction of the electric wire member 20 in the closed state of the cover 43, so that the held portion 31 is engaged with the holding portion 51 of the cover 43 and held. Therefore, before the protector cover 42 is fixed to the protector body 41, the electric wire member 20 can be stored in the protector body 41 in advance. In other words, before the protector cover 42 is fixed to the protector body 41, the electric wire member 20 can be in a state where it does not extend from the protector body 41. Therefore, when the protector cover 42 is fixed to the protector body 41, it is possible to prevent the electric wire member 20 from being bitten between the protector body 41 and the protector cover 42. In addition, the held portion 31 of the connector 30 is provided on the side of the opening portion 44 of the protector body 41. Therefore, for example, as in the present embodiment, a connector 30 can be adopted in which the locking portion 34 for the external connector is provided on the side opposite to the held portion 31, that is, the locking portion 34 is provided at a position corresponding to the bottom side of the protector body 41. For example, in the wire harness 10 of the present embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the locking portion 34 of the connector 30 can be visually recognized from the bottom side of the protector body 41 .

[0044] (2) The cover 43 has the claw 48, and the protector body 41 has the locking portion 49. When the cover 43 is in the closed state, the claw 48 is locked to the locking portion 49, so that the cover 43 can be maintained in the closed state. Therefore, for example, when the held portion 31 of the connector 30 is engaged with the holding portion 51 of the cover 43 in the closed state of the cover 43, the opening action of the cover 43 can be suppressed. Therefore, for example, the assembling property becomes good.

[0045] (3) The protector cover 42 covers the closed lid 43 while covering the opening 44, thereby suppressing the opening of the lid 43. Therefore, the opening of the lid 43 can be further suppressed. Therefore, for example, the connector 30 can be prevented from falling off the protector body 41.

[0046] (4) The protector cover 42 has the protrusion 53 as the suppressing portion, and the protrusion 53 as the suppressing portion suppresses the movement of the cover 43 in the direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover 43, thereby suppressing the shaking of the cover 43 in the direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover 43. Therefore, shaking of the connector 30 can be suppressed.

[0047] (5) Since the protrusion 53 is fitted into the square hole 50 of the cover 43, the cover 43 can be well suppressed from rattling in a direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover 43. Therefore, the connector 30 can be well suppressed from rattling.

[0048] (6) The protrusion 53 can pass through the square hole 50 and come into contact with the connector 30 . The contact with the connector 30 suppresses movement of the connector 30 , and thus the shaking of the connector 30 can be further suppressed.

[0049] (7) The protector body 41 has the support portion 54 that can support the connector 30 at a position facing the tip of the protrusion 53 . Therefore, the connector 30 is sandwiched between the support portion 54 and the protrusion 53 , and the shaking of the connector 30 can be further suppressed.

[0050] This embodiment can be implemented as the following modifications. This embodiment and the following modifications can be implemented in combination with each other within the range that there is no technical contradiction. In the above embodiment, the cover 43 has the claw 48 and the protector body 41 has the locking portion 49, but the present invention is not limited thereto and the cover 43 may be configured without the claw 48 and the locking portion 49. In this case, it is necessary to suppress the opening of the cover 43 by a structure other than the claw 48 and the locking portion 49. For example, as in the above embodiment, it is necessary to suppress the opening of the cover 43 by the protector cover 42 or the like.

[0051] In the above embodiment, protector cover 42 covers lid 43 in a closed state while covering opening 44 to suppress opening of lid 43 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be configured not to suppress opening of lid 43 .

[0052] In the above embodiment, the protector cover 42 has the protrusion 53 as the suppressing portion that suppresses the movement of the cover 43 in the direction intersecting the opening and closing direction of the cover 43, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the structure may not have the protrusion 53. In addition, in the above embodiment, the cover 43 has the square hole 50, and the suppressing portion is the protrusion 53 that fits into the square hole 50 of the cover 43, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the structure may not have the square hole 50, or the suppressing portion may not fit into the square hole 50.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the protrusion 53 can penetrate the square hole 50 and abut against the connector 30 to suppress movement of the connector 30 by abutting against the connector 30 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto and the protrusion 53 may be configured not to abut against the connector 30 .

[0054] In the above embodiment, the protector body 41 includes the support portion 54 capable of supporting the connector 30 at a position facing the tip of the protrusion 53 , but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be configured without the support portion 54 .

[0055] In the above embodiment, the hinge portion 47 is a thin-walled portion, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be changed to another structure. For example, the protector body 41 and the cover 43 are integrally formed products connected via the hinge portion 47, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be another formed product.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the held portion 31 of the connector 30 has the storage portion 32 and the locking claw 33, and the holding portion 51 of the cover 43 has the locking hole 52, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be changed to another structure having the same function. That is, the holding portion of the cover 43 may be changed in shape, etc., as long as the connector 30 moves along the extending direction of the electric wire member 20 when the cover 43 is closed so as to be engaged with the held portion of the connector 30.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the wire harness 10 is embodied as the wire member 20 and the protector 40 branched, but the present invention is not limited thereto and the wire harness 10 may be embodied as the wire member 20 and the protector 40 not branched.

[0058] ·like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in the non-limiting wire harness 10, the protector cover 42 may also be provided to cover the entire opening 44 of the protector body 41. Figure 5 , 6 As shown, in the non-limiting wire harness 10 , the length of the cover 43 may be shorter than the length of the connector 30 in the extending direction of the electric wire member 20 .

[0059] ·like Figure 3 , 7 As shown, in the non-limiting wire harness 10, the protector body 41 may also include a bottom wall extending along the extension direction of the wire member 20 and a pair of side walls erected from both ends in the width direction of the bottom wall and defining the opening 44. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , a pair of side walls of the protector body 41 can also support and / or fix the two end portions in the width direction of the cover 43 (for example, the base end portion of the hinge portion 47 and the top end portion of the claw 48) when the cover 43 is in the closed state.

[0060] ·like Figure 3 As shown, the non-limiting wire harness 10 can include a plurality of wire components 20. The plurality of wire components 20 can include at least one first wire component and at least one second wire component, and the first wire component and the second wire component can be arranged to branch off from each other. Figure 3As shown, the protector body 41 can include a main groove for accommodating the bundle of the multiple wire components 20, and a first branch groove and a second branch groove branching from the main groove at a branch point. The first branch groove and the second branch groove can be constructed to respectively accommodate the first wire component and the second wire component branched from the bundle of the multiple wire components 20, and respectively define the layout paths of the first wire component and the second wire component. The first branch groove can extend from the branch point with a relatively short first groove length. The second branch groove can extend from the branch point with a relatively long second groove length. The first wire component can have a connector 30, and the connector 30 has a top length portion and a base length portion. As Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , the first branch groove can be configured to accommodate the base end length portion of the connector 30 of the first wire component and not cover the top end length portion of the connector 30 of the first wire component. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the non-limited wiring harness 10 can include a cover 43 or a hinge that is opened and closed by a hinge portion 47 or a hinge axis. The cover 43 or the hinge can be configured to allow the first wire component and the connector 30 to be stored in the first branch groove and / or removed from the first branch groove in an open state.
