[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. [1] The path limiting member of the present disclosure limits the path of a wire member. The path limiting member includes: a first limiting member having a first connecting portion and a first holding portion for holding the wire member; a second limiting member having a second holding portion for holding the wire member and a second connecting portion connected to the first connecting portion; and an adhesive for bonding the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The first connecting portion has a concave portion, and the second connecting portion has a convex portion that is bonded to the concave portion by the adhesive in a state of being engaged with the concave portion in a concave-convex manner.

[0010] According to this structure, through the adhesive, the convex portion of the second connecting portion and the concave portion of the first connecting portion are bonded in a state of being engaged with each other in a concave-convex manner. Thereby, the convex portion and the concave portion can be firmly connected, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can be firmly connected. As a result, the first limiting member and the second limiting member can be integrated. Thus, one path limiting member can be formed by combining a plurality of first limiting members and second limiting members. Therefore, by appropriately changing the number of the first limiting members and the second limiting members that are connected to each other, etc., the length and shape of the path limiting member can be easily changed. Thus, the versatility of the path limiting member can be improved.

[0011] [2] In the above [1], it may be that an adhesive bag in a split state is provided inside the concave portion. According to this structure, when connecting the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, the adhesive can be placed in the concave portion of the second connecting portion in a state of being accommodated in the adhesive bag. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the adhesive from coming into contact with gases such as air when connecting the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and thus it is possible to suppress the drying of the adhesive.

[0012] [3]In the above [2], it may also be that the adhesive bag in the torn state is disposed inside the concave portion at a portion other than the gap between the side surface of the convex portion and the inner side surface of the concave portion. According to this structure, it is possible to suppress the torn adhesive bag from being caught in the gap between the side surface of the convex portion and the inner side surface of the concave portion. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately suppress the adhesive strength between the convex portion and the concave portion obtained by the adhesive from being reduced due to the torn adhesive bag.

[0013] [4]In the above [2] or [3], it may also be that the front end portion of the convex portion is formed in a sharp shape. According to this structure, when connecting the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, it is possible to appropriately tear the adhesive bag by using the front end portion of the pointed convex portion.

[0014] [5]In the above [4], it may also be that the front end portion is formed in a conical shape. According to this structure, the front end portion of the convex portion is thinner than other portions of the convex portion. Therefore, it is possible to increase the space between the front end portion of the convex portion and the inner side surface of the concave portion. Thereby, it is possible to increase the space for accommodating the torn adhesive bag.

[0015] [6]In the above [4], it may also be that the front end portion is formed in a pincushion shape having a plurality of rod-shaped portions. According to this structure, when connecting the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, it is possible to appropriately tear the adhesive bag by using the plurality of rod-shaped portions. Therefore, even when a plurality of adhesive bags are placed inside the concave portion, it is possible to appropriately tear the plurality of adhesive bags by using the plurality of rod-shaped portions.

[0016] [7]In any one of the above [1] to [6], it may also be that the second connecting portion has: a base portion having a beam portion extending radially outward toward the second holding portion and a protruding portion extending along the axial direction of the second holding portion from the beam portion; and the convex portion provided on the first surface of the base portion, and a corner portion of the beam portion is formed in an R shape. According to this structure, the corner portion of the beam portion supporting the convex portion is formed in an R shape. Therefore, even when an external force such as a bending reaction force is applied to the path restricting member from the wire member, for example, it is possible to appropriately suppress the concentration of the external force on the corner portion of the beam portion. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately suppress damage to the beam portion.

[0017] [8] In any one of the above [1] to [7], it may also be that the second connecting portion includes: an orbit portion provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second holding portion; and a connecting member having an insertion portion inserted into the orbit portion and the convex portion integrally formed with the insertion portion, and the connecting member is a member separate from the second holding portion. According to this structure, the insertion portion of the connecting member is inserted into the orbit portion, and the convex portion of the connecting member is bonded to the concave portion with an adhesive in a state where the convex and concave portions are engaged with the concave portion of the first connecting portion. Thus, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can be interconnected by the connecting member that is formed as a member separate from the second holding portion.

[0018] [9] In the above [8], it may also be that the first holding portion has a first bottom wall and first and second side walls protruding from both side edges of the first bottom wall, the first restricting member has a first end portion and a second end portion in the axial direction of the first restricting member, the first restricting member includes a first connecting portion provided at the first end portion in the first side wall, a third connecting portion provided at the first end portion in the second side wall, a fourth connecting portion provided at the second end portion in the second side wall, and a fifth connecting portion provided at the second end portion in the first side wall, the second restricting member includes a sixth connecting portion connected to the third connecting portion, the third connecting portion has the same structure as the second connecting portion, the fourth connecting portion has the same structure as the first connecting portion, the fifth connecting portion has at least the same structure as the orbit portion of the second connecting portion, and the sixth connecting portion has the same structure as the first connecting portion.

[0019] According to this structure, at the first end portion of the first restricting member, the first connecting portion is provided in the first side wall and the third connecting portion having the same structure as the second connecting portion is provided in the second side wall. On the other hand, at the second end portion of the first restricting member, the fourth connecting portion having the same structure as the first connecting portion is provided in the second side wall and the fifth connecting portion having the same structure as the orbit portion of the second connecting portion is provided in the first side wall. In this way, the fourth connecting portion and the fifth connecting portion at the second end portion of the first restricting member are formed as structures obtained by rotating the structures of the first connecting portion and the third connecting portion other than the connecting member at the first end portion of the first restricting member by 180°. Therefore, the second restricting member can be connected to the first end portion of the first restricting member and can also be connected to the second end portion of the first restricting member. That is, the second restricting member can be connected to either the first end portion or the second end portion of the first restricting member. Thus, the connecting direction of the second restricting member with respect to the first restricting member can be appropriately changed to match the path of the wire member.

[0020]

[10] In any one of the above [1] to [9], it may also be that the first connecting portion is continuously and integrally formed with the outer peripheral surface of the first holding portion, the first connecting portion is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape having the concave portion, and the inner side surface of the concave portion has an inclined surface that inclines radially outward of the first connecting portion as it faces the opening end of the concave portion. According to this structure, when the convex portion is inserted into the concave portion, the front end portion of the convex portion is guided along the inclined surface of the concave portion into the interior of the concave portion. That is, the inclined surface of the concave portion can function as a guiding portion for guiding the convex portion into the interior of the concave portion. Thereby, the convex portion can be easily inserted into the interior of the concave portion.

[0021]

[11] In any one of the above [1] to

[10] , it may also be that the first restricting member is a linear member formed by linearly extending the first holding portion in one direction, and the second restricting member is a bent member having a bent portion in the second holding portion. According to this structure, the first connecting portion of the linear member and the second connecting portion of the bent member can be connected to each other, and the linear member and the bent member can be integrated.

[0022]

[12] In any one of the above [1] to

[10] , it may also be that the first restricting member is a first bent member having a bent portion in the first holding portion, and the second restricting member is a second bent member having the same structure as the first bent member. According to this structure, the two bent members, the first bent member and the second bent member having the same structure as each other, are directly connected. Thereby, compared with the case where there is one bent member, the bending angle of the path restricting member can be changed. In this way, by adjusting the number of connected bent members having the same structure, the bending angle of the path restricting member can be easily changed.

[0023]

[13] The wire harness of the present disclosure includes the path restricting member according to any one of the above [1] to

[12] and the wire member that restricts the path by using the path restricting member. According to this structure, the same effect as the path restricting member of the above [1] can be obtained.

[0024] [Details of the Embodiment of the Present Disclosure] Hereinafter, specific examples of the path limiting member and the wire harness of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In each figure, for ease of explanation, a part of the structure may be shown exaggeratedly or simplified. In addition, the dimensional ratios of the respective parts may be different in each figure. In the present specification, "orthogonal", "parallel", and "full length" include not only the cases of strictly orthogonal, parallel, and full length, but also the cases of being substantially orthogonal, parallel, and full length within the range where the effects of the present embodiment are achieved. In the present specification, "identical" or "equal" includes not only the cases of being exactly the same or exactly equal, but also the cases where there are slight differences between the comparison objects due to the influence of dimensional tolerances or the like. In addition, in the description of the present specification, "tubular" includes not only the shape in which the peripheral wall is continuously formed over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction, but also the shape in which a plurality of components are combined to form a tubular shape, such as a C-shaped or U-shaped shape having a notch in a part of the circumferential direction. In addition, the shape of "tubular" includes a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon having sharp corners or rounded corners, but is not limited thereto. In addition, "opposed" in the present specification means that surfaces or members are located in positions facing each other, and includes not only the case of being located in positions facing each other completely, but also the case of being located in positions facing each other partially. In addition, "opposed" in the present specification includes both the case where another member is sandwiched between two parts and the case where nothing is sandwiched between two parts. In addition, in a part of the drawings, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis orthogonal to each other are shown. In the following description, for convenience, the direction extending along the X-axis is referred to as the X-axis direction, the direction extending along the Y-axis is referred to as the Y-axis direction, and the direction extending along the Z-axis is referred to as the Z-axis direction. In addition, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and is represented by the claims, and is intended to include all changes within the meaning equivalent to the claims and the scope thereof.

[0025] (Overall structure of wire harness 10) Figure 1 The wire harness 10 shown is mounted on a vehicle V such as a hybrid motor vehicle or an electric motor vehicle, for example. The wire harness 10 electrically connects two or more electrical devices to each other. The wire harness 10 electrically connects, for example, an inverter M1 provided at the front of the vehicle V and a high-voltage battery M2 provided behind the inverter M1 in the vehicle V. The wire harness 10 is disposed on the vehicle V in such a manner that an intermediate portion in the length direction of the wire harness 10 passes through the outside of the vehicle body such as under the floor of the vehicle V. The inverter M1 is connected to, for example, a motor for driving wheels (not shown) that serves as a power source for vehicle travel. The inverter M1 generates AC power from the DC power of the high-voltage battery M2 and supplies the AC power to the motor. The high-voltage battery M2 is, for example, a battery capable of supplying a voltage of several hundred volts.

[0026] The wire harness 10 includes a wire member 11. The wire member 11 includes one or more wires 12 and a tubular outer member 13 that surrounds the outer periphery of the wire 12. The first end in the length direction of the wire 12 is connected to the inverter M1, and the second end in the length direction of the wire 12 is connected to the high-voltage battery M2.

[0027] The wire 12 is, for example, a thick wire with a large conductor cross-sectional area. Here, the "thick wire" in this specification refers to a wire with a conductor cross-sectional area of 10 mm 2 (so-called 10 sq) or more. The outer member 13 is formed, for example, in an overall long tubular shape. The outer member 13 has, for example, a function of protecting the internal wire 12 from flying objects and water droplets. The outer member 13 has, for example, flexibility and can be easily bent. As an example of the flexible outer member 13, a synthetic resin corrugated pipe and a rubber waterproof cover can be cited.

[0028] As Figure 2 shown, the wire member 11 is bent two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally, for example, in a state of being mounted on the vehicle V. The wire member 11 of the present embodiment has a straight portion 14A that extends linearly along the X-axis direction, a bent portion 15A provided at the end of the straight portion 14A, and a straight portion 14B that extends obliquely downward to the right in the drawing from the bent portion 15A. The wire member 11 has a bent portion 15B provided at the end of the straight portion 14B, a straight portion 14C that extends linearly along the X-axis direction from the bent portion 15B, and a bent portion 15C provided at the end of the straight portion 14C. The wire member 11 has a straight portion 14D that extends linearly along the Y-axis direction from the bent portion 15C, a bent portion 15D provided at the end of the straight portion 14D, and a straight portion 14E that extends linearly along the X-axis direction from the bent portion 15D. The wire member 11 has a bent portion 15E provided at the end of the straight portion 14E and a straight portion 14F that extends obliquely upward to the right in the drawing from the bent portion 15E. Thus, the wire member 11 of the present embodiment has five bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, and 15E.

[0029] The bent portion 15A is formed, for example, to bend the path of the wire member 11 at a bending angle θ1. Here, the bending angle θ1 is the angle formed by the central axis L1 of the straight portion 14A and the central axis L2 of the straight portion 14B. The bent portion 15A bends the path of the wire member 11 so that the bending angle θ1 becomes 45°. The bent portion 15A is formed, for example, to bend the path of the wire member 11 to the right direction in the drawing with respect to the central axis L1 of the straight portion 14A. That is, the bent portion 15A is formed to bend the path of the wire member 11 to the right with a bending angle θ1 of 45° with respect to the central axis L1 of the straight portion 14A.

[0030] The bent portion 15B bends the path of the wire member 11 such that, for example, the bending angle θ2 formed between the central axis L2 of the straight portion 14B and the central axis L3 of the straight portion 14C is 45°. The bent portion 15B is formed, for example, so as to bend the path of the wire member 11 to the left in the drawing with respect to the central axis L2 of the straight portion 14B. That is, the bent portion 15B is formed so as to bend the path of the wire member 11 to the left with a bending angle θ2 of 45° with respect to the central axis L2 of the straight portion 14B. The bent portion 15C bends the path of the wire member 11 such that, for example, the bending angle θ3 formed between the central axis L3 of the straight portion 14C and the central axis L4 of the straight portion 14D is 90°. The bent portion 15C is formed, for example, so as to bend the path of the wire member 11 to the left with a bending angle θ3 of 90° with respect to the central axis L3 of the straight portion 14C. The bent portion 15D bends the path of the wire member 11 such that, for example, the bending angle θ4 formed between the central axis L4 of the straight portion 14D and the central axis L5 of the straight portion 14E is 90°. The bent portion 15D is formed, for example, so as to bend the path of the wire member 11 to the right with a bending angle θ4 of 90° with respect to the central axis L4 of the straight portion 14D. The bent portion 15E bends the path of the wire member 11 such that, for example, the bending angle θ5 formed between the central axis L5 of the straight portion 14E and the central axis L6 of the straight portion 14F is 45°. The bent portion 15E is formed, for example, so as to bend the path of the wire member 11 to the left with a bending angle θ5 of 45° with respect to the central axis L5 of the straight portion 14E.

[0031] The harness 10 includes one or more path restricting members 20 that restrict the path of the wire member 11. The path restricting member 20 is mounted on the outer periphery of the wire member 11. The path restricting member 20 is provided at at least one of the plurality of bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E of the wire member 11 and maintains the bent shape of the wire member 11 at the bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E. The harness 10 of the present embodiment includes five path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E provided corresponding to the five bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E, respectively.

[0032] The plurality of path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E are, for example, provided separately from each other in the length direction of the wire member 11. The path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E each include, for example, one or more straight members 30 and one or more bent members 60. The path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E are set, for example, such that the combination of the straight member 30 and the bent member 60 is different to match the bent shape of the corresponding bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E.

[0033] (Structure of the path restricting member 20A) As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the path restricting member 20A is configured such that the straight member 30, the bent member 60, and the straight member 30 are arranged in this order along the length direction of the wire member 11. In the following description, for convenience, the straight member 30 provided on the left side of the bent member 60 in the drawing may sometimes be referred to as "straight member 30A", and the straight member 30 provided on the right side of the bent member 60 in the drawing may be referred to as "straight member 30B".

[0034] The straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60 respectively hold the exterior member 13. The exterior member 13 is less likely to bend, for example, compared to a state where the straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60 are not installed. The straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60 are made of, for example, metal or resin. The straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60 of the present embodiment are made of resin. As the materials of the straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60, for example, synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polyamide, and polyacetal can be used. The materials of the straight members 30A, 30B and the material of the bent member 60 may be different materials from each other, or may be the same material as each other.

[0035] The straight member 30A is installed on the outer periphery of the exterior member 13, for example, at the straight portion 14A in the path of the wire member 11. The straight member 30B is installed on the outer periphery of the exterior member 13, for example, at the straight portion 14B in the path of the wire member 11. Each of the straight members 30A, 30B restricts the path of the wire member 11 at the straight portions 14A, 14B. Each of the straight members 30A, 30B includes a holding portion 31 for holding the wire member 11.

[0036] The bent member 60 is installed on the outer periphery of the exterior member 13, for example, at the bent portion 15A in the path of the wire member 11. The bent member 60 restricts the path of the wire member 11 at the bent portion 15A. The bent member 60 includes a holding portion 61 for holding the wire member 11.

[0037] (Structure of the straight members 30A, 30B) Next, the specific structure of the straight member 30A will be described. In addition, since the straight member 30B has the same structure as the straight member 30A, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as those of the straight member 30A, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0038] As Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the linear component 30A of the present embodiment includes a holding portion 31, two connecting portions 40A and 40B having the same structure as each other, and two connecting portions 50A and 50B having the same structure as each other. The linear component 30A is formed, for example, in a face-symmetrical shape with a hypothetical plane that includes the center of the linear component 30A in the Y-axis direction and extends along the XZ plane as the symmetry plane.

[0039] As Figure 4 shown, the holding portion 31 is formed in a cylindrical shape that covers the outer periphery of the outer packaging member 13 on a part of the circumference of the outer packaging member 13. The cross-sectional shape of the holding portion 31 is formed in a U shape as a whole. The holding portion 31 is formed in a shape that extends linearly in one direction. That is, the axial direction of the cylindrical holding portion 31 extends linearly in one direction.

[0040] The holding portion 31 has, for example, a bottom wall 32 and two side walls 33 and 34 that protrude from both side edges of the bottom wall 32. The bottom wall 32 extends linearly, for example, in the X-axis direction. The cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall 32 is formed in an arc shape, for example.

[0041] Each of the side walls 33 and 34 is continuous with the bottom wall 32 and is formed integrally. Each of the side walls 33 and 34 protrudes from the two end edges in the width direction (here, the Y-axis direction) of the bottom wall 32 along the Z-axis direction, for example. The two side walls 33 and 34 are opposed to each other in the width direction of the bottom wall 32, for example. Each of the side walls 33 and 34 is formed in a plate shape, for example. Each of the side walls 33 and 34 extends linearly along the Z-axis direction, for example. Each of the side walls 33 and 34 extends over the entire length in the length direction of the bottom wall 32 along the X-axis direction.

[0042] The linear component 30A has an insertion port 35 that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the linear component 30A. The insertion port 35 is formed by a gap between the upper ends of the side wall 33 and the side wall 34. The insertion port 35 extends over the entire length in the axial direction of the linear component 30A along the axial direction of the linear component 30A, for example. That is, the insertion port 35 is formed to open in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the linear component 30A and to open at both ends in the axial direction of the linear component 30A.

[0043] As Figure 5 shown, the linear component 30A has an end portion 36 and an end portion 37 in the axial direction of the linear component 30A. The end portion 36 is, for example, an end portion opposed to the bending component 60. The end portion 37 is an end portion provided on the opposite side of the end portion 36 in the axial direction of the linear component 30A.

[0044] The linear member 30A has, for example, one or more auxiliary ribs 38 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 31. The linear member 30A of the present embodiment has two auxiliary ribs 38. The auxiliary ribs 38 are formed, for example, over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 31. Each auxiliary rib 38 is formed so as to continuously extend with the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33, the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 32, and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34. Each auxiliary rib 38 is formed to protrude radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 31. By providing the auxiliary ribs 38, the bending rigidity of the linear member 30A can be improved accordingly.

[0045] The linear member 30A has, for example, one or more groove portions 39 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 31. The groove portions 39 are provided between the two auxiliary ribs 38 in the axial direction of the linear member 30. The groove portions 39 are formed so as to be recessed downward from the upper surfaces of the side walls 33 and 34.

[0046] As Figure 6 shown, the connecting portions 40A and 40B are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the side walls 33 and 34 at the end portion 36, respectively. The connecting portions 50A and 50B are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the side walls 33 and 34 at the end portion 37, respectively.

[0047] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the two connecting portions 40A and 40B are formed line-symmetrically with respect to the central axis A1 that passes through the center of the linear member 30A in the Y-axis direction and extends along the X-axis direction in a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction. The two connecting portions 50A and 50B are formed line-symmetrically with respect to the central axis A1.

[0048] Next, the specific structure of the connecting portion 40A will be described. In addition, since the connecting portion 40B has the same structure as the connecting portion 40A, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as those of the connecting portion 40A, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0049] As Figure 5 shown, the connecting portion 40A is integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 at the end portion 36. The connecting portion 40A is formed, for example, so as to be connectable to the connecting portion 80A of the bending member 60. The connecting portion 40A is, for example, a bottomed cylindrical shape that opens upward as a whole. The connecting portion 40A has, for example, a plate-like bottom wall 41, a peripheral wall 42 that extends cylindrically from the outer peripheral portion of the bottom wall 41, and a recess 43 surrounded by the bottom wall 41 and the peripheral wall 42.

[0050] As Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the bottom wall 41 is provided at the lower end of the connecting portion 40A. The bottom wall 41 is formed to close the opening at the lower side of the connecting portion 40A. As Figure 8As shown, the top view shape of the bottom wall 41 as observed from the Z-axis direction is formed into a rectangular shape.

[0051] As Figure 7 shown, the top view shape of the peripheral wall 42 as observed from the Z-axis direction is formed into a rectangular shape. The peripheral wall 42 has, for example, one peripheral wall 42A formed continuously and integrally with the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 and three peripheral walls 42B. In the connecting portion 40A, a square tube shape is formed by the one peripheral wall 42A and the three peripheral walls 42B. A part of the connecting portion 40A is formed, for example, to protrude outward from the axial end surface of the side wall 33 in the axial direction of the linear member 30A (here, the X-axis direction) toward the holding portion 31.

[0052] As Figure 9 shown, the peripheral wall 42 is formed, for example, to extend downward along the Z-axis direction from a position below the upper surface of the side wall 33 in the Z-axis direction. The peripheral wall 42A is formed continuously and integrally with the side wall 33 over the entire length in the height direction of the peripheral wall 42A (here, the Z-axis direction). As Figure 5 shown, the upper end portions of the three peripheral walls 42B have guide portions 44. The guide portions 44 are formed so as to enlarge the inner peripheral dimension (i.e., the opening width of the recess 43) and the outer peripheral dimension of the connecting portion 40A having a bottomed cylindrical shape. As Figure 10 shown, the guide portions 44 are formed such that the opening width of the recess 43 and the outer peripheral dimension of the connecting portion 40A become larger as they approach the opening end of the recess 43 in the axial direction of the connecting portion 40A (here, the Z-axis direction). The inner side surface of the recess 43 at the guide portions 44 has an inclined surface 45 that inclines radially outward of the connecting portion 40A as it approaches the opening end of the recess 43. Further, as Figure 9 shown, the upper end portion of the peripheral wall 42A does not have a guide portion 44.

[0053] The recess 43 extends, for example, along the height direction of the side wall 33 (here, the Z-axis direction). As Figure 7 shown, the top view shape of the recess 43 as observed from the Z-axis direction is formed into a rectangular shape.

[0054] Next, the specific structure of the connecting portion 50A will be described. In addition, since the connecting portion 50B has the same structure as the connecting portion 50A, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as those of the connecting portion 50A, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0055] As Figure 5As shown, the connecting portion 50A is integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 at the end portion 37. The connecting portion 50A is formed, for example, so as to be connectable to the connecting portions 40A and 40B of other linear members 30 or the connecting portions 70A and 70B of the bent member 60. The connecting portion 50A has a base portion 51 that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 toward the outside of the holding portion 31, and a convex portion 52 that protrudes from the lower surface (first surface) of the base portion 51. In the connecting portion 50A, the base portion 51 and the convex portion 52 are continuously and integrally formed.

[0056] As Figure 7 shown, the base portion 51 has, for example, a beam portion 53 that protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 at the end portion 37 toward the outside of the holding portion 31, and a protruding portion 54 that protrudes along the axial direction of the holding portion 31 from the beam portion 53. The beam portion 53 is formed in a cantilever shape with the proximal end connected to the side wall 33 as a fixed end and the distal end located on the opposite side of the proximal end in the Y-axis direction as a free end. The top view shape of the beam portion 53 observed from the Z-axis direction is formed in a rectangular shape. The beam portion 53 has a corner portion C1 provided at a portion connected to the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 and a corner portion C2 provided at the distal end of the beam portion 53. The corner portions C1 and C2 are formed, for example, in a rounded corner shape, that is, an R shape.

[0057] As Figure 10 shown, the length dimension of the beam portion 53 along the Z-axis direction is, for example, equal to the length dimension along the Z-axis direction from the upper surface of the side wall 33 to the upper surface of the peripheral wall 42 of the connecting portion 40A. As Figure 7 shown, the protruding portion 54 protrudes outward from the end surface of the beam portion 53 in the X-axis direction along the axial direction of the holding portion 31 more outward than the holding portion 31. The protruding portion 54 protrudes outward from the end surface in the axial direction of the side wall 33 more outward than the holding portion 31. The protruding portion 54 protrudes only from a part of the beam portion 53 in the Y-axis direction. The length dimension of the protruding portion 54 along the Y-axis direction is smaller than the length dimension of the beam portion 53 along the Y-axis direction. The protruding portion 54 is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 in the Y-axis direction. The proximal end of the beam portion 53 and the corner portion C3 of the protruding portion 54 are formed, for example, in an R shape.

[0058] As Figure 5As shown, the convex portion 52 protrudes downward, for example, from the lower surface of the base portion 51 along the height direction of the side wall 33 (here, the Z-axis direction). The convex portion 52 is formed in a quadrangular prism shape, for example. The convex portion 52 is formed to have a size such that it can be engaged with the concave portion 43 of the connecting portions 40A and 40B of other linear members 30 or the concave portion 43 of the connecting portions 70A and 70B of the bending member 60 in a concave-convex manner. The front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 is formed in a sharp shape, for example. The front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 is formed in a shape with a sharp end (here, the lower end). The front end portion 55 is formed in a pointed shape that tapers as it moves away from the base portion 51. The front end portion 55 is formed in a conical shape, for example. The front end portion 55 of the present embodiment is formed in a gable shape. The lower end of the front end portion 55 of the present embodiment is formed to extend linearly along the Y-axis direction in a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction.

[0059] The outer peripheral dimension of the convex portion 52, specifically, the outer peripheral dimension of the convex portion 52 other than the front end portion 55 is equal to the inner peripheral dimension of the concave portion 43 other than the guide portion 44, for example. As Figure 10 shown, the length dimension of the convex portion 52 along the Z-axis direction is smaller than the length dimension of the concave portion 43 along the Z-axis direction, for example. Therefore, when the convex portion 52 is engaged with the concave portion 43 in a concave-convex manner, the lower end of the convex portion 52 does not contact the bottom surface of the concave portion 43.

[0060] As Figure 8 shown, the convex portion 52 is provided on a part of the lower surface of the base portion 51. The convex portion 52 is provided, for example, on the entire lower surface of the protruding portion 54 and on a part of the lower surface of the beam portion 53. A part of the convex portion 52 protrudes outward from the holding portion 31 beyond the end surface in the axial direction of the side wall 33. The length dimension of the convex portion 52 along the Y-axis direction is equal to the length dimension of the protruding portion 54 along the Y-axis direction, for example. The length dimension of the convex portion 52 along the Y-axis direction is smaller than the length dimension of the beam portion 53 along the Y-axis direction, for example. The length dimension of the convex portion 52 along the X-axis direction is smaller than the length dimension of the beam portion 53 along the X-axis direction, for example.

[0061] A part of the lower surface of the beam portion 53 is exposed from the convex portion 52. As Figure 10 shown, the lower surface of the beam portion 53 exposed from the convex portion 52 functions as a engaging surface that engages with the upper surface of the peripheral wall 42 in the Z-axis direction.

[0062] (Structure of the bending member 60) Next, the specific structure of the bending member 60 will be described. As Figure 5 and Figure 11 shown, the bending member 60 of the present embodiment includes a holding portion 61, two connecting portions 70A and 70B having the same structure as each other, and two connecting portions 80A and 80B having the same structure as each other.

[0063] As Figure 4 shown, the holding part 61 is formed in a cylindrical shape that wraps around the outer peripheral surface of the exterior member 13 in a part of the circumferential direction of the exterior member 13. The cross-sectional shape of the holding part 61 is formed in a U shape as a whole. As Figure 3 shown, the holding part 61 is formed in a bent shape having a bent part 60R bent at a prescribed bending angle θ. The bending angle θ of the bent part 60R in the present embodiment is set to 45°. The axial direction of the cylindrical holding part 61 extends in such a manner as to be bent at the prescribed bending angle θ.

[0064] The holding part 61 has, for example, a bottom wall 62 and two side walls 63, 64 protruding from both side edges of the bottom wall 62. The bottom wall 62 extends, for example, in such a manner as to be bent at the prescribed bending angle θ in a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction. The bottom wall 62 is formed, for example, in such a manner as to be bent in an arc shape in a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction. As Figure 5 shown, the cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall 62 is formed, for example, in an arc shape. The cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall 62 is formed, for example, in the same shape and the same size as the cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall 32.

[0065] Each of the side walls 63, 64 is continuously and integrally formed with the bottom wall 62. Each of the side walls 63, 64 protrudes, for example, from both end edges in the width direction (here, the Y-axis direction) of the bottom wall 62 along the Z-axis direction. The two side walls 63, 64 face each other, for example, in the width direction of the bottom wall 62. The length dimension of the side walls 63, 64 along the Z-axis direction is, for example, equal to the length dimension of the side walls 33, 34 along the Z-axis direction.

[0066] As Figure 3 shown, the side wall 63 is provided, for example, at the end edge located on the inner side of the bend of the bent part 60R among both end edges in the width direction of the bottom wall 62. The side wall 64 is provided, for example, at the end edge located on the outer side of the bend of the bent part 60R among both end edges in the width direction of the bottom wall 62. The inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the side walls 63, 64 are formed, for example, in such a manner as to be bent in an arc shape in a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction. The length dimension of the side wall 63 along the axial direction of the holding part 61 is smaller than the length dimension of the side wall 64 along the axial direction of the holding part 61.

[0067] As Figure 5 shown, the bending member 60 has an insertion port 65 that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the bending member 60. The insertion port 65 is formed by a gap between the upper ends of the side wall 63 and the side wall 64. The insertion port 65 extends, for example, along the entire length in the axial direction of the bending member 60 in the axial direction of the bending member 60. That is, the insertion port 65 is formed to open in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the bending member 60 and to open at both ends in the axial direction of the bending member 60.

[0068] The bent member 60 has axial end portions 66 and 67 of the bent member 60. The end portion 66 is, for example, an end portion facing the end portion 36 of the linear member 30A. The end portion 67 is an end portion provided on the opposite side of the end portion 66 in the axial direction of the bent member 60. The end portion 67 is, for example, an end portion facing the end portion 37 of the linear member 30B (refer to Figure 3 ).

[0069] The bent member 60 has, for example, one or more auxiliary ribs 68 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 61. The bent member 60 of the present embodiment has two auxiliary ribs 68. The auxiliary ribs 68 are formed, for example, over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 61. Each auxiliary rib 68 is formed so as to continuously extend with the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 63, the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 62, and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 64. Each auxiliary rib 68 is formed so as to project radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 61. By providing the auxiliary ribs 68, the bending rigidity of the bent member 60 can be improved.

[0070] As Figure 5 and Figure 11 shown, the connecting portions 70A and 70B are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the side walls 63 and 64 at the end portion 67, respectively. The connecting portions 80A and 80B are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the side walls 63 and 64 at the end portion 66, respectively.

[0071] Here, as Figure 5 shown, the connecting portions 70A and 70B each have the same structure as the connecting portion 40A of the linear member 30A. That is, the connecting portions 70A and 70B are each formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom wall 41, a peripheral wall 42, and a recess 43. The connecting portions 80A and 80B each have the same structure as the connecting portion 50A of the linear member 30A. That is, the connecting portions 80A and 80B each have a base portion 51 and a convex portion 52. Here, the detailed description of the structures of the connecting portions 70A, 70B, 80A, and 80B is omitted.

[0072] As Figure 4 shown, the linear member 30A is connected to the axial end portion 66 of the bent member 60. Specifically, the connecting portion 40A of the linear member 30A and the connecting portion 80A of the bent member 60 are connected to each other. Specifically, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the convex portion 52 of the connecting portion 80A is engaged with the recess 43 of the connecting portion 40A in a concave-convex manner. In addition, an adhesive 90 for bonding the connecting portion 40A and the connecting portion 80A is provided inside the recess 43. As the adhesive 90, silicone resin, epoxy resin, etc. can be used, for example.

[0073] As Figure 9As shown, the adhesive 90 is provided, for example, in such a manner as to bond the side surface of the convex portion 52 to the inner side surface of the concave portion 43. The adhesive 90 is provided, for example, in such a manner as to penetrate into the gap between the side surface of the convex portion 52 and the inner side surface of the concave portion 43. The adhesive 90 is provided, for example, in such a manner as to fill the gap between the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 and the bottom surface of the concave portion 43. Through this adhesive 90, the convex portion 52 and the concave portion 43 can be firmly connected, and the connecting portion 40A and the connecting portion 80A can be firmly connected. For example, even when an external force such as a bending reaction force is applied to the path restricting member 20A from the wire member 11, the connection between the connecting portion 40A and the connecting portion 80A can be appropriately inhibited from being released.

[0074] Inside the concave portion 43, an adhesive bag 91 in a split state or a torn state is provided, for example. The adhesive bag 91 is a bag that houses the adhesive 90, for example, before the convex portion 52 and the concave portion 43 are engaged with each other in a concave-convex manner. The adhesive bag 91 in a split state is provided, for example, in a state of being split into a plurality of parts inside the concave portion 43. The adhesive bag 91 in a split state is, for example, stacked on the bottom surface of the concave portion 43. The adhesive bag 91 in a split state is provided, for example, in the space between the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 having a pointed shape and the inner side surface of the concave portion 43. The adhesive bag 91 in a split state is provided inside the concave portion 43 in a portion other than the gap between the side surface of the convex portion 52 and the inner side surface of the concave portion 43.

[0075] In addition, as Figure 4 shown, the connecting portion 40B of the linear member 30A and the connecting portion 80B of the bent member 60 are connected to each other. Although detailed illustrations are omitted, similar to the connection of the connecting portions 40A and 80A, the connecting portions 40B and 80B are connected by the adhesive 90 (refer to Figure 10 ).

[0076] The linear member 30B is connected to the end portion 67 of the bent member 60. Specifically, the connecting portion 50A of the linear member 30B and the connecting portion 70A of the bent member 60 are connected to each other, and the connecting portion 50B of the linear member 30B and the connecting portion 70B of the bent member 60 are connected to each other. Although detailed illustrations are omitted, similar to the connection of the connecting portions 40A and 80A, the connecting portions 50A and 70A are connected by the adhesive 90 (refer to Figure 10 ), and the connecting portions 50B and 70B are connected by the adhesive 90 (refer to Figure 10 ).

[0077] Here, in the path restricting member 20A in a state where the linear members 30A and 30B are connected to the bent member 60, the insertion port 35 of the linear member 30A, the insertion port 65 of the bent member 60, and the insertion port 35 of the linear member 30B communicate with each other.

[0078] As Figure 3As shown, connecting portions 50A and 50B are provided at the first end portion in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20A so as to protrude outwardly from the holding portion 31 at the end portion 37 of the straight member 30A. Further, connecting portions 40A and 40B are provided at the second end portion in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20A so as to protrude outwardly from the holding portion 31 at the end portion 36 of the straight member 30B. Further, no adhesive 90 and adhesive bag 91 are provided in the recesses 43 of the connecting portions 40A and 40B of the straight member 30B (refer to Figure 10 ).

[0079] As Figure 4 shown, the wire harness 10 has, for example, a sliding restricting member 100 that restricts the sliding movement of the path restricting member 20A in the length direction with respect to the exterior member 13. As the sliding restricting member 100, for example, a resin or metal bundling band, a caulking ring, or an adhesive tape can be used. The sliding restricting member 100 of the present embodiment is a bundling band. The sliding restricting member 100 is provided on each of the straight members 30A and 30B. The sliding restricting member 100 is provided, for example, in a manner of being housed in the groove portions 39 of the respective straight members 30A and 30B. At this time, the groove portion 39 restricts the relative movement of the sliding restricting member 100 with respect to the straight member 30 in the axial direction of the straight member 30. The sliding restricting member 100 is wound, for example, over the outer peripheral surfaces of the straight members 30A and 30B and the outer peripheral surface of the exterior member 13 exposed from the insertion port 35. Further, although not shown, the sliding restricting member 100 is also provided on the Figure 2 path restricting members 20B, 20C, 20D, and 20E shown in

[0080] (Structure of the path restricting members 20B, 20C, 20D, and 20E) As Figure 2 shown, the path restricting member 20B is configured such that the straight member 30, the bent member 60, and the straight member 30 are arranged in this order along the length direction of the wire member 11. Each of the straight members 30 and the bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20B is formed to have the same structure as each of the straight members 30 and the bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20A. However, the path restricting member 20B is arranged in such a manner that the structure of the path restricting member 20A is rotated by 180°. In other words, the bent member 60 can be used commonly in the bent portion 15A as the right bending portion and the bent portion 15B as the left bending portion. That is, in the bent portion 15A as the right bending portion and the bent portion 15B as the left bending portion, the same-structured bent member 60 can be shared.

[0081] As Figure 12As shown, the path restricting member 20D is configured such that the straight member 30, the bent member 60, the bent member 60, and the straight member 30 are arranged in this order along the length direction of the wire member 11. Each straight member 30 and each bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20D are formed into the same structures as the straight member 30 and the bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20A, respectively. The connection between the two bent members 60 can be performed in the same manner as the connection between the straight member 30 and the bent member 60. The two bent members 60 are connected, for example, in a state where the end portion 67 of one bent member 60 (first bent member) faces the end portion 66 of one bent member 60 (second bent member). For example, the connecting portions 70A, 70B at the end portion 67 of one bent member 60 are respectively connected to the connecting portions 80A, 80B at the end portion 66 of one bent member 60. As Figure 2 shown, in the path restricting member 20D provided at the bent portion 15D with a bending angle θ4 of 90°, the two bent members 60 are connected to each other, thereby adjusting the bending angle of the path restricting member 20D.

[0082] The path restricting member 20C is configured such that the straight member 30, the bent member 60, the bent member 60, and the straight member 30 are arranged in this order along the length direction of the wire member 11. Each straight member 30 and each bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20C are formed into the same structures as the respective straight members 30 and bent members 60 in the path restricting member 20D. However, the path restricting member 20C is arranged in such a manner that the structure of the path restricting member 20D is rotated by 180°.

[0083] The path restricting member 20E is configured such that the straight member 30, the bent member 60, and the straight member 30 are arranged in this order along the length direction of the wire member 11. The straight member 30 and the bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20E are formed into the same structures as the straight member 30 and the bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20A, respectively. However, the path restricting member 20E is arranged in such a manner that the structure of the path restricting member 20A is rotated clockwise by 135°.

[0084] (Manufacturing method of the path restricting member 20A) Next, the manufacturing method of the path restricting member 20A will be described. First, in Figure 13 the shown process, the straight member 30A and the bent member 60 are prepared, and the bent member 60 is arranged such that the end portion 66 faces the end portion 36 of the straight member 30A.

[0085] Next, in Figure 14In the process shown, an adhesive bag 91 is placed inside the recess 43 of the connecting portion 40A of the linear member 30A. The adhesive bag 91 stores an adhesive 90 inside. The adhesive bag 91 stores the adhesive 90 in a sealed state, for example. By storing the adhesive 90 in the adhesive bag 91, the drying of the adhesive 90 can be appropriately suppressed.

[0086] Next, in Figure 15 the process shown, the bending member 60 is disposed above the linear member 30A. Specifically, the bending member 60 is disposed above the linear member 30A such that the convex portion 52 of the connecting portion 80A of the bending member 60 overlaps the recess 43 of the connecting portion 40A of the linear member 30A when viewed from above in the Z-axis direction.

[0087] Next, in Figure 16 the process shown, the convex portion 52 of the bending member 60 is engaged with the concave portion 43 of the linear member 30A in a concave-convex manner. At this time, the adhesive bag 91 is cut by the sharp front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 of the bending member 60. In other words, in this process, the convex portion 52 of the bending member 60 is inserted into the concave portion 43 of the linear member 30A until the adhesive bag 91 is cut by the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 of the bending member 60. And when the adhesive bag 91 is cut, the adhesive 90 stored inside the adhesive bag 91 diffuses into the inside of the recess 43. Thus, as Figure 17 shown, the adhesive 90 penetrates into the gap between the side surface of the convex portion 52 and the inner side surface of the recess 43. The convex portion 52 and the concave portion 43 are bonded by this adhesive 90. In this way, the connecting portion 40A of the linear member 30A and the connecting portion 80A of the bending member 60 are connected and integrated. Although not shown, simultaneously with the connection of the connecting portions 40A and 80A, Figure 5 the connecting portion 40B of the linear member 30A shown and the connecting portion 80B of the bending member 60 are connected and integrated. Through the above process, the bending member 60 is connected to the linear member 30A and integrated.

[0088] Next, in Figure 18 the process shown, the linear member 30B is connected to the end portion 67 of the bending member 60 by the same process as in Figures 13 to 17 the process shown. For example, an adhesive bag 91 is placed inside the recesses 43 of the connecting portions 70A and 70B of the bending member 60 (see Figure 14 ). After that, the convex portions 52 of the connecting portions 50A and 50B of the linear member 30B are engaged with the recesses 43 of the connecting portions 70A and 70B of the bending member 60 in a concave-convex manner. Thus, the linear member 30B can be connected to the bending member 60 in the same manner as the connection between the linear member 30A and the bending member 60. In addition, in Figure 14In the process shown, it is also possible to place the adhesive bag 91 into the recesses 43 of the connecting portions 40A and 40B (see Figure 14 ) and at the same time place the adhesive bag 91 into the recesses 43 of the connecting portions 70A and 70B of the bending member 60 (see Figure 14 ). Through the above process, it is possible to manufacture the Figure 4 shown path restricting member 20A.

[0089] Next, the effects of the present embodiment will be described. (1) The path restricting member 20 includes: a straight member 30 having a holding portion 31 for holding the wire member 11 and a connecting portion 40A; and a bending member 60 having a holding portion 61 for holding the wire member 11 and a connecting portion 80A connected to the connecting portion 40A. The path restricting member 20 includes an adhesive 90 for bonding the connecting portions 40A and 80A. The connecting portion 40A has a recess 43. The connecting portion 80A has a convex portion 52 that is bonded to the recess 43 by the adhesive 90 in a state where the convex and concave portions are fitted into each other.

[0090] According to this structure, the convex portion 52 of the connecting portion 80A and the recess 43 of the connecting portion 40A are bonded in a state where the convex and concave portions are fitted into each other by the adhesive 90. As a result, the convex portion 52 and the recess 43 can be firmly connected, and the connecting portion 40A and the connecting portion 80A can be firmly connected. As a result, the straight member 30 and the bending member 60 can be integrated. Thus, one path restricting member 20 can be formed by combining a plurality of restricting members, that is, the straight member 30 and the bending member 60. Therefore, by appropriately changing the number of the straight member 30 and the bending member 60 that are interconnected, etc., the length and shape of the path restricting member 20 can be easily changed. Thus, the versatility of the path restricting member 20 can be improved.

[0091] In addition, by changing the combination and the orientation of the arrangement of the straight member 30 and the bending member 60, the straight member 30 having the same structure and the bending member 60 having the same structure can be used, and the path restricting member 20 corresponding to various bending paths can be formed. For example, by changing the number of the bending members 60 that are directly connected, the bending angle of the path restricting member 20 can be changed. As a result, an increase in the types of components constituting the path restricting member 20 can be suppressed, and the path restricting member 20 corresponding to various bending paths can be formed. As a result, the versatility of the straight member 30 and the bending member 60 can be improved.

[0092] (2) A split adhesive bag 91 is provided inside the recess 43. According to this structure, when connecting the connecting portions 40A and 80A, the adhesive 90 can be placed in the recess 43 of the connecting portion 40A in a state of being accommodated in the adhesive bag 91. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the contact of the adhesive 90 with gases such as air when connecting the connecting portions 40A and 80A, and thus it is possible to appropriately suppress the drying of the adhesive 90.

[0093] (3) The split adhesive bag 91 is provided inside the recess 43 at a portion other than the gap between the side surface of the convex portion 52 and the inner side surface of the recess 43. According to this structure, it is possible to suppress the split adhesive bag 91 from being caught in the gap between the side surface of the convex portion 52 and the inner side surface of the recess 43. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately suppress the bonding strength between the convex portion 52 and the recess 43 obtained by the adhesive 90 from being reduced due to the split adhesive bag 91.

[0094] (4) The front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 is formed in a sharp shape. According to this structure, when connecting the connecting portions 40A and 80A, the front end portion 55 of the pointed convex portion 52 can be used to appropriately split the adhesive bag 91.

[0095] (5) The front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 is formed in a conical shape. According to this structure, the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 is thinner than other portions of the convex portion 52. Therefore, it is possible to increase the space between the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 and the inner side surface of the recess 43. Thereby, it is possible to increase the space in which the split adhesive bag 91 can be accommodated.

[0096] (6) The corner portions C1 and C2 of the beam portion 53 that supports the convex portion 52 are formed in an R shape. Therefore, even when an external force such as a bending reaction force is applied to the path restricting member 20 from the wire member 11, for example, it is possible to appropriately suppress the concentration of this external force on the corner portions C1 and C2 of the beam portion 53. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately suppress damage to the beam portion 53.

[0097] (7) The inner side surface of the recess 43 has an inclined surface 45 that inclines radially outward of the connecting portion 40A as it approaches the open end of the recess 43. According to this structure, when inserting the convex portion 52 into the recess 43, the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 is guided along the inclined surface 45 of the recess 43 into the recess 43. Thereby, it is possible to easily insert the convex portion 52 into the recess 43.

[0098] (Other embodiments) The above embodiments can be implemented with the following changes. The above embodiments and the following modification examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically non - conflicting range.

[0099] · The structures of the connecting portions 40A, 40B, 70A, and 70B of the path restricting member 20 in the above-described embodiments can be appropriately changed. In the following description, a modification example of the connecting portion 40A is illustrated for explanation, but the connecting portions 40B, 70A, and 70B can be changed in the same manner.

[0100] For example, as Figure 19 shown, the guiding portion 44 in the connecting portion 40A can also be omitted. For example, as Figure 20 and Figure 21 shown, the connecting portion 40A can also be formed in a cylindrical shape. In this case, the connecting portion 40A can have a guiding portion 44 as Figure 20 shown, or can also not have a guiding portion 44 as Figure 21 shown.

[0101] · The structures of the connecting portions 50A, 50B, 80A, and 80B of the path restricting member 20 in the above-described embodiments can be appropriately changed. In the following description, a modification example of the connecting portion 80A is illustrated for explanation, but the connecting portions 50A, 50B, and 80B can also be changed in the same manner.

[0102] For example, as Figure 19 shown, the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 of the connecting portion 80A can be formed in a kenzan shape having a plurality of thin rod-shaped portions 55B. Each rod-shaped portion 55B is formed, for example, in a sharp shape with a sharp front end. In this case, the adhesive bag 91 (refer to Figure 14 ) can be cut by the rod-shaped portions 55B.

[0103] For example, as Figure 20 and Figure 21 shown, the convex portion 52 of the connecting portion 80A can also be formed in a cylindrical shape. In addition, as Figure 20 shown, the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 having a cylindrical shape can be formed in a conical shape. In this case, the adhesive bag 91 (refer to Figure 14 ) can be cut by the lower end of the convex portion 52 that becomes the vertex of the cone.

[0104] For example, as Figure 21 shown, the front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 having a cylindrical shape can also be formed in a kenzan shape having a plurality of thin rod-shaped portions 55B. · As Figure 22 and Figure 23As shown, the straight component 30 can also be changed to the straight component 30C, and the bending component 60 can be changed to the bending component 60A. That is, the path limiting member 20 of this modification example is configured such that the straight component 30C is connected to the bending component 60A. Hereinafter, the structures of the straight component 30C and the bending component 60A will be described in detail. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as those of the straight component 30 and the bending component 60, and part or all of the description may be omitted sometimes.

[0105] As Figure 23 shown, the straight component 30C includes a holding portion 31 having a bottom wall 32 and side walls 33, 34, connecting portions 40C, 40D having the same structure as each other, and connecting portions 50C, 50D having the same structure as each other. The bending component 60A includes a holding portion 61 having a bottom wall 62 and side walls 63, 64, connecting portions 70C, 70D having the same structure as each other, and connecting portions 80C, 80D having the same structure as each other.

[0106] The connecting portions 40C, 40D, 70C, 70D respectively have, for example, the same structure as the connecting portion 40A Figure 21 shown. That is, the connecting portions 40C, 40D, 70C, 70D are each formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom wall 41, a peripheral wall 42, and a recess 43.

[0107] As Figure 24 shown, the connecting portion 40C is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 at the end portion 36. The connecting portion 40D is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34 at the end portion 37. The connecting portion 50C is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34 at the end portion 36. The connecting portion 50D is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 at the end portion 37. The two connecting portions 40C, 40D are provided at positions that are point-symmetrical to each other with the central axis of the straight component 30C extending parallel to the Z-axis direction as the center in a top view observed from the Z-axis direction. The two connecting portions 50C, 50D are provided at positions that are point-symmetrical to each other with the central axis of the straight component 30C extending parallel to the Z-axis direction as the center in a top view observed from the Z-axis direction.

[0108] As Figure 23 and Figure 25 shown, the connecting portion 50C includes a rail portion 56 formed integrally with the holding portion 31, and a connecting member 57 that is a component separate from the holding portion 31. The rail portion 56 is formed, for example, to be recessed from the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34 at the end portion 36 toward the radially inner side of the holding portion 31. The rail portion 56 is formed, for example, to extend along the Z-axis direction from the upper surface of the side wall 34. The rail portion 56 is formed to open upward and open toward the radially outer side of the holding portion 31.

[0109] As Figure 24As shown, the rail portion 56 has, for example, a rail portion 56A and a rail portion 56B with an opening width smaller than that of the rail portion 56A. The rail portion 56 is formed in such a way that the rail portion 56A and the rail portion 56B communicate with each other. The opening width of the rail portion 56A in the X-axis direction is larger than the opening width of the rail portion 56B in the X-axis direction. The rail portion 56B is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34. The top view shape of the rail portion 56 as viewed from the Z-axis direction is, for example, formed in a T shape.

[0110] As Figure 23 shown, the connecting member 57 has an insertion portion 58 inserted into the rail portion 56 and a fitting portion 59 that engages with the concave portion 43 of the connecting portion 70C of the bending member 60A in a concave-convex manner. The connecting member 57 is, for example, a single member formed continuously and integrally with the insertion portion 58 and the fitting portion 59. The insertion portion 58 and the fitting portion 59 each extend along the Z-axis direction. The length dimension of the insertion portion 58 in the Z-axis direction is, for example, larger than the length dimension of the fitting portion 59 in the Z-axis direction.

[0111] As Figure 25 shown, the insertion portion 58 has an insertion portion 58A inserted into the rail portion 56A and an insertion portion 58B inserted into the rail portion 56B. The insertion portion 58A is formed to have a larger width than the insertion portion 58B. The length dimension of the insertion portion 58A in the X-axis direction is larger than the length dimension of the insertion portion 58B in the X-axis direction. The top view shape of the insertion portion 58 as viewed from the Z-axis direction is, for example, formed in a T shape. The insertion portion 58 is inserted into the rail portion 56 from above the holding portion 31 along the Z-axis direction. When the insertion portion 58 is inserted into the rail portion 56, the insertion portion 58A engages with the wall portion constituting the rail portion 56B in the radial direction (here, the Y-axis direction) of the holding portion 31. Thereby, relative movement of the insertion portion 58 with respect to the rail portion 56 in the radial direction of the holding portion 31 can be suppressed, and thus the insertion portion 58 can be appropriately prevented from coming off the rail portion 56.

[0112] The fitting portion 59 has the same structure as Figure 20 shown for the connecting portion 80A. That is, the fitting portion 59 has a base portion 51 protruding along the Y-axis direction from the insertion portion 58 and a cylindrical convex portion 52 protruding along the Z-axis direction from the lower surface of the base portion 51. The base portion 51 is connected to the upper end of the insertion portion 58B, for example. The beam portion 53 of the base portion 51 is formed to have a larger width than the insertion portion 58B, for example. The length dimension of the beam portion 53 in the X-axis direction is, for example, larger than the length dimension of the insertion portion 58A in the X-axis direction. The front end portion 55 of the convex portion 52 in this modification example is formed in a conical shape.

[0113] The connecting portion 50D has only the rail portion 56, for example. In other words, the connecting portion 50D does not have the connecting member 57. Specifically, as Figure 23As shown, the connecting portion 50D provided at the end portion (here, the end portion 37) that is not connected to other restricting members (the straight member 30C, the bent member 60A) does not have the connecting member 57.

[0114] As Figure 24 shown, in the bent member 60A, the connecting portion 70C is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 64 at the end portion 66, and the connecting portion 70D is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 63 at the end portion 67. In the bent member 60A, the connecting portion 80C is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 63 at the end portion 66, and the connecting portion 80D is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 64 at the end portion 67. Here, as Figure 23 shown, the connecting portion 80C has the same structure as the connecting portion 50C of the straight member 30C. That is, the connecting portion 80C includes the rail portion 56 and the connecting member 57. The connecting portion 80D has the same structure as the connecting portion 50D of the straight member 30C. That is, the connecting portion 80D only includes the rail portion 56. Thus, the connecting portions 70D, 80D provided at the end portion 67 are formed into structures obtained by rotating the structures in which the connecting members 57 are removed from the connecting portions 70C, 80C provided at the end portion 66 by 180°.

[0115] The bent member 60A is connected to the end portion 36 of the straight member 30C. Specifically, first, the straight member 30C and the bent member 60A are arranged such that the end portion 66 of the bent member 60A contacts the end portion 36 of the straight member 30C. At this time, the connecting portion 40C is provided adjacent to the rail portion 56 of the connecting portion 80C, and the rail portion 56 of the connecting portion 50C is provided adjacent to the connecting portion 70C. Next, the adhesive bag 91 (refer to Figure 14 ) is placed into the recessed portions 43 of the connecting portions 40C, 70C respectively. Next, the connecting member 57 of the connecting portion 80C is inserted into the rail portion 56 of the connecting portion 80C and is engaged with the recessed portion 43 of the connecting portion 40C in a concave-convex manner. Thereby, the convex portion 52 of the connecting member 57 of the connecting portion 80C and the recessed portion 43 of the connecting portion 40C are bonded by the adhesive 90 (refer to Figure 10 ), and the connecting portion 80C and the connecting portion 40C are connected. Similarly, the connecting member 57 of the connecting portion 50C is inserted into the rail portion 56 of the connecting portion 50C and is engaged with the recessed portion 43 of the connecting portion 70C in a concave-convex manner. Thereby, the convex portion 52 of the connecting member 57 of the connecting portion 50C and the recessed portion 43 of the connecting portion 70C are bonded by the adhesive 90 (refer to Figure 10 ), and the connecting portion 50C and the connecting portion 70C are connected.

[0116] ·For example, as Figure 26 and Figure 27 shown, two bent members 60B, 60C may also be connected to form the path restricting member 20. Here, the bent members 60B, 60C respectively have the same as Figure 22It has the same structure as the bending member 60A shown. The bending member 60C is arranged, for example, in a state where the structure of the bending member 60B is rotated by 180°. As Figure 26 shown, the bending member 60B and the bending member 60C are connected to each other in a state where the end portion 67 of the bending member 60B faces the end portion 67 of the bending member 60C. Specifically, the connecting portion 70D provided on the side wall 63 at the end portion 67 of the bending member 60B is connected to the connecting portion 80D provided on the side wall 64 at the end portion 67 of the bending member 60C. Here, the connecting portion 80D of the bending member 60C includes a rail portion 56 and a connecting member 57. And the connecting portion 70D of the bending member 60B and the connecting portion 80D of the bending member 60C are connected to each other by the connecting member 57 of the connecting portion 80D of the bending member 60C. In addition, the connecting portion 80D provided on the side wall 64 at the end portion 67 of the bending member 60B is connected to the connecting portion 70D provided on the side wall 63 at the end portion 67 of the bending member 60C. Here, the connecting portion 80D of the bending member 60B includes a rail portion 56 and a connecting member 57. And the connecting portion 80D of the bending member 60B and the connecting portion 70D of the bending member 60C are connected to each other by the connecting member 57 of the connecting portion 80D of the bending member 60B.

[0117] As Figure 27 shown, the path restricting member 20 of this modification example is formed in a shape in which a right-bent bending portion and a left-bent bending portion are continuous along the axial direction of the path restricting member 20 in a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction.

[0118] In this way, in the bending members 60B and 60C, the end portions 67 can be connected to each other. In addition, in the bending members 60B and 60C, the end portions 66 can be connected to each other, and the end portion 66 and the end portion 67 can be connected. Thereby, the degree of freedom of the combination of the linear member 30C and the bending member 60 in the path restricting member 20 can be improved.

[0119] · The structure of the path restricting member 20 in the above-described embodiment can be appropriately changed. For example, by changing the combination of the linear members 30 and 30C and the bending members 60 and 60A, that is, the number and arrangement directions of the linear members 30 and 30C and the bending members 60 and 60A, the path restricting member 20 can be formed into various structures. The number of each of the linear members 30 and 30C and the bending members 60 and 60A constituting the path restricting member 20 is not particularly limited. For example, the path restricting member 20 can be constituted only by two or more linear members 30 and 30C. For example, the path restricting member 20 can be constituted only by two or more bending members 60 and 60A.

[0120] · In the above-described embodiment, the path restricting members 20 are provided only for the bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E in the wiring path of the wire member 11, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the path restricting members 20 may be provided only for the straight portions 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 14E, 14F. For example, the path restricting member 20 may also be provided for the straight portion 14C provided between the path restricting member 20B and the path restricting member 20C. In this case, the path restricting member 20 is formed by connecting, for example, a plurality of straight members 30 or a plurality of straight members 30C. For example, for the straight portion 14D provided between the path restricting member 20C and the path restricting member 20D, the straight members 30, 30C connected to both the path restricting member 20C and the path restricting member 20D may be provided. In this case, the path restricting member 20C and the path restricting member 20D are integrally formed by the straight members 30, 30C provided on the straight portion 14D. In this case, the top view shape of the path restricting members 20C, 20D is formed in an S shape.

[0121] · The structures of the straight members 30, 30C in the above-described embodiment can be appropriately changed. For example, the auxiliary ribs 38 may be omitted from the straight members 30, 30C. For example, the groove portions 39 may be omitted from the straight members 30, 30C.

[0122] · The structure of the bent member 60 in the above-described embodiment can be appropriately changed. For example, the auxiliary ribs 68 may be omitted from the bent member 60. For example, a groove portion similar to the groove portion 39 shown Figure 5 may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the bent member 60.

[0123] · For example, as Figure 28 shown, the path restricting member 20 may also include a cover portion 200 that closes the insertion openings 35 of the straight members 30A, 30B and the insertion opening 65 of the bent member 60. The cover portion 200 is provided, for example, to close the entire insertion openings 35 of the straight members 30A, 30B and the entire insertion opening 65 of the bent member 60. The cover portion 200 is provided, for example, on the upper surfaces of the side walls 33, 34 of the straight members 30A, 30B and on the upper surfaces of the side walls 63, 64 of the bent member 60. The cover portion 200 is connected to the straight members 30A, 30B and the bent member 60 by a connecting member (not shown). In addition, the cover portion 200 may be formed by using a body panel of the vehicle V.

[0124] · In the manufacturing method of the path restricting member 20 in the above-described embodiment, one adhesive bag 91 is placed in the recess 43 of the connecting portion 40A, but it is not limited thereto. For example, as Figure 29As shown, a plurality of adhesive bags 91 can also be placed in the concave portion 43 of the connecting portion 40A. In this case, the adhesive bags 91 are formed in a relatively small size. By placing a plurality of such small adhesive bags 91 in the concave portion 43 of the connecting portion 40A, the amount of the adhesive 90 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the number of the adhesive bags 91.

[0125] · In the manufacturing method of the path restricting member 20 in the above-described embodiment, the adhesive bag 91 containing the adhesive 90 is placed inside the concave portion 43, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the adhesive 90 may be directly injected into the concave portion 43 using a dispenser or the like. In this case, the cut adhesive bag 91 is not provided in the concave portion 43 of the connecting portion 40A after being connected to the connecting portion 80A.

[0126] · The magnitude of the bending angle θ of the bent portion 60R of the bent members 60 and 60A in the above-described embodiment can be appropriately changed. · The wire member 11 in the above-described embodiment may not necessarily include the outer covering member 13. That is, the structure may be such that the outer covering member 13 is omitted from the wire member 11 and the wire 12 is directly held by the holding portions 31 and 61.

[0127] · The wire member 11 in the above-described embodiment may also include a cylindrical electromagnetic shielding member that surrounds the outer periphery of the wire 12. · The positional relationship between the inverter M1 and the high-voltage battery M2 in the vehicle V is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed according to the vehicle structure.
