The wire harness assembly 1 of the present embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is mounted on a vehicle 100, for example, an automobile, and is used for power supply and signal transmission by connecting devices mounted on the vehicle 100. The wire harness assembly 1 of the present embodiment includes, for example, the wire harness WH, a fixing member 10A having a predetermined rigidity and having a guide space portion 12 in which the wire harness WH is guided, and a slot 20 provided in an outer wall 11 of the fixing member 10A and enabling the wire harness WH to be inserted into the guide space portion 12 from the outside. The wire harness WH is configured to include an electric wire bundle 30 (see FIG. 5 ) in which a plurality of electric wires W having conductivity are bundled.

The body member 10 is, for example, a cylindrical swing arm that constitutes a side sill 3 of the vehicle 100, and is mounted on the vehicle 100 in a state in which both end portions of the guide space portion 12 in an axial direction X are closed. Then, in the present embodiment, the wire harness WH is inserted into and routed in the guide space portion 12 as the inner space portion of the body member 10 through the slot 20. Thereby, for example, as compared with the case where the wire harness WH is routed between the body member 10 and a scrubber plate 4, the position of the scrubber plate 4 can be set lower, and finally, the opening area of the boarding / alighting of the vehicle 100 can be widened, and the passenger can get in and off more smoothly. The slot 20 is installed in the vehicle 100 so as to be covered by the scrubber blade 4, for example.Note that in the following description, among a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction intersecting each other, the first direction is referred to as an "axial direction X", the second direction is referred to as a "width direction Y", and the third direction is referred to as a "height direction Z". Here, the axial direction X, the width direction Y, and the height direction Z are substantially orthogonal to each other. The axial direction X typically corresponds to the extension direction of the wire harness WH, the longitudinal direction of the body member 10 (fixing member 10A), or the like, and extends along a front-rear direction of the vehicle. The width direction Y typically corresponds to a width direction (left-right direction) of the body member 10 (fastening member 10A) or the like, and extends along a width direction of the vehicle. The height direction Z typically corresponds to a height direction (up / down direction) of the body member 10 (fastening member 10A) or the like, and extends along an up / down direction of the vehicle. In addition, each direction used in the following description will be described as a direction in a state where the wire harness assembly 1 is mounted on the vehicle 100 unless otherwise specified. Note that, in FIGS. 2, 8, and the like, the illustration of the plurality of electric wires W constituting the electric wire bundle 30 is simplified for simplicity.FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the body member 10 of the harness assembly 1, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the vicinity of a wide section 22 of the slot 20 of the harness assembly 1. The outer wall 11 is a structural body for partitioning the above-described guide space portion 12 as an inner space portion of the body member 10. The outer wall 11 is configured to include, for example, an upper wall 11 a, a lower wall 11 b, and a pair of side walls 11 cand 11 d.The upper wall 11 aand the lower wall 11 bextend both in a direction orthogonal to the height direction Z and are provided parallel to each other at a distance in the height direction Z.

The side wall 11 cextends between one end portion of the upper wall 11 aand the lower wall 11 bin the width direction Y and forms a right end portion of the body member 10. the side wall 11 dextends between the other end portions of the upper wall 11 aand the lower wall 11 bin the width direction Y and forms a left end portion of the body member 10. the side wall 11 cis facing the vehicle interior of the vehicle 100, and the side wall 11 dis facing a frame or the like of the vehicle 100. The pair of side walls 11 cand 11 dare formed in a flat plate shape extending horizontally along the axial direction X.Here, in the present embodiment, for example, in the upper wall 11 a, the lower wall 11 b, and the pair of side walls 11 cand 11 dforming the outer wall 11, the upper wall 1 11 afacing the vehicle compartment is provided with the slit 20 extending along the axial direction X. The upper wall 11 ais a partition wall that separates the guide space portion 12 of the body member 10 and the vehicle interior from each other. The guide space portion 12 is an interior space portion of the body member 10, and the vehicle interior space is an exterior space portion of the body member 10. Thereby, the electric wire bundle 30 of the wire harness WH can be inserted into the guide space portion 12 from the vehicle interior side through the slit 20. In the present embodiment, the top wall 11 ais an example of a first wall portion.Moreover, the slit 20 is configured to include, for example, a narrow portion 21 and a wide portion 22.

The wide portion 22 is partially provided on the other end portion of the narrow portion 21 in the axial direction X and communicates with the narrow portion 21. The wide portion 22 serves as, for example, an inlet port for inserting a jig 5 into the slot 20 (see FIGS. 8 to 10 ) which will be described later.In addition, in the present embodiment, the opening width d 1 of the narrow portion 21 is formed to be wider than the sum of an outer diameter d 3 (see FIG. 6 ) of an electric wire W having the maximum outer diameter among the plurality of electric wires W constituting the electric wire bundle 30 and a plate thickness d 4 (see FIG. 9 ) of a pair of side walls 5 bof the jig 5 that introduces the electric wire bundle 30 into the guide space portion 12 through the slit 20. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the plurality of electric wires W are configured to have outer diameters corresponding to each other, and the opening width d 1 of the narrow portion 21 is set to a total width of the outer diameters d 3 of about two or three of the plurality of electric wires W.Note that, in the present embodiment, the case where the plurality of electric wires W are configured to have mutually corresponding outer diameters has been exemplified, but is not limited to this example, and for example, at least one of the plurality of electric wires W may be configured to have a different outer diameter with respect to the other electric wires W.Moreover, in the present embodiment, the case where the slit 20 is configured to include the narrow portion 21 and the wide portion 22 has been exemplified, but is not limited to this example, and the slit may be configured to include only the narrow portion 21 without the wide portion 22, for example. In addition, in the present embodiment, the case where the slit 20 is provided via the one end portion and the other end portion of the upper wall 11 ain the axial direction X is exemplified, but is not limited to this example, and for example, the slit may be partially provided at an intermediate position between the one end portion and the other end portion of the upper wall 11 ain the axial direction X. In addition, in the present embodiment, the case where the body member 10 has a rectangular cylindrical cross-sectional shape and the guide space portion 12 is configured to be closed as an inner space portion has been exemplified, but it is not limited to this example, and for example, the body member 10 may be formed to have a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape and the guide space portion 12 may not be closed, and also in this case, the guide space portion 12 may be closed by a member other than the body member 10.FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the wire harness WH, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a binding posture maintaining portion 31 of the wire harness WH, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a binding posture variable portion 32 of the wire harness WH. As illustrated in FIGS. 5 to 7, the wire harness WH includes, for example, the electric wire bundle 30 in which the plurality of electric wires W are bundled. The electric cable W is configured to include a core wire and an insulating sheath surrounding the core wire. The electric wires W extend linearly along the axial direction X and are formed to extend with substantially the same diameter with respect to the axial direction X (extension direction). In addition, for example, in the electric wire W, the cross-sectional shape of the core wire (cross-sectional shape intersecting the axial direction X) is substantially circular, and the cross-sectional shape of the insulating sheath is substantially annular, and the electric wire W is substantially circular in cross-section as a whole.In addition, the electric wire bundle 30 is configured to include, for example, a pair of binding posture maintaining portions 31 and the binding posture variable portion 32. The pair of binding posture maintaining portions 31 are portions located at both end portions 30 aof the electric wire bundle 30 in the axial direction X and are bound to maintain the binding posture. In the present embodiment, a first binding member 40 that binds the plurality of electric wires W is provided in each of the pair of binding posture maintaining portions 31. The pair of first binding members 40 may be, for example, a binding member such as a binding tape, a tape member such as an adhesive tape, or another member. The first binding member 40 binds the plurality of electric wires W to maintain the binding posture of the electric wire bundle 30, in other words, the cross-sectional shape (see FIG. 6 ) of the electric wire bundle 30 intersects the axial direction X.For example, the first binding member 40 extends around the plurality of electric wires W at the same position in the axial direction X of the electric wire bundle 30. that is, the first binding member 40 is wound around the plurality of electric wires W such that a portion located on the inner side and a portion overlapping the outer side are located at the same position in the axial direction X in the overlapping portion. In the electric wire bundle 30, the plurality of electric wires W are exposed in a portion between one and the other of the pair of first binding members 40. Note that, in the present embodiment, the case where the first binding member 40 is formed by encircling the plurality of electric wires W at the same location of the electric wire bundle 30 in the axial direction X has been exemplified, but is not limited to this example, and for example, the first binding member 40 may be formed by spirally wrapping the plurality of electric wires W at different locations of the electric wire bundle 30 in the axial direction X.The binding posture variable portion 32 is a portion that is located between the pair of binding posture maintaining portions 31 of the electric wire bundle 30 in the axial direction X and in which the binding posture is variable. In the present embodiment, the binding posture variable portion 32 is provided with a second binding member 50 that binds the plurality of electric wires W more loosely than the first binding member 40. the second binding member 50 is provided, for example, at a central portion 30 bof the electric wire bundle 30 in the axial direction X. The second binding member 50 may be, for example, a binding member such as a binding tape, a tape member such as an adhesive tape, or another member. The second binding member 50 binds the plurality of electric wires W so that the binding posture of the electric wire bundle 30, in other words, the cross-sectional shape (see FIG. 7 ) of the electric wire bundle 30 intersecting the axial direction X becomes variable.The second binding member 50 has, for example, an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter d (see FIG. 2 ) of the electric wire bundle 30, and is configured to be capable of absorbing displacement of the electric wire bundle 30 along a radial direction. That is, the second binding member 50 is wound around the plurality of electric wires W so that the plurality of electric wires W can move relative to each other to develop. For example, the second binding member 50 may be formed by encircling the plurality of electric wires W at the same location of the electric wire bundle 30 in the axial direction X, and the second binding member 50 may be formed by spirally winding around the plurality of electric wires W at different locations of the electric wire bundle 30 in the axial direction X. In the electric wire bundle 30, the plurality of electric wires W are exposed in a portion between the second binding member 50 and the above-described pair of first binding members 40.Note that, in the present embodiment, the case where the plurality of electric wires W are bound by the second binding member 50 of the binding posture variable portion 32 has been given as an example, but is not limited to this example, and for example, the second binding member 50 may not be provided and the plurality of electric wires W may not be bound. That is, the binding posture variable portion 32 also includes a shape in which the binding member itself, like the second binding member 50, does not exist. The binding posture variable portion 32 is also referred to as a cross-sectional shape variable portion or the like, and the binding posture maintaining portion 31 is also referred to as a cross-sectional shape maintaining portion or the like.FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of the wire harness assembly 1, FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the jig 5, and FIG. 10 is a side view of the jig 5. The mounting device 5 is formed of, for example, a flexible member having flexibility such as synthetic resin, and is configured to include a bottom wall 5 a, the pair of side walls 5 b, a pair of flange walls 5 c, a first cut portion 5 f, and a second cut portion 5 e.The pair of side walls 5 bis a part of the jig 5 that holds the electric wire bundle 30 from both sides in the width direction Y.

One of the two side walls 5 bconstitutes a right end portion of the jig 5, and the other of the two side walls 5 bconstitutes a left end portion of the jig 5.The bottom wall 5 ais a portion that extends in an arc shape along an outer circumferential surface of the electric wire bundle 30 and couples an end portion 5 gof the pair of side walls 5 bin the height direction Z. The bottom wall 5 ahas a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens toward the other side in the height direction Z. The bottom wall 5 aconstitutes an upper end portion of the jig 5 and holds the electric wire bundle 30 from one side in the height direction Z. In the present embodiment, the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bare formed in a conical shape in which the bottom wall 5 ais inclined so as to gradually approach the other end portions 5 hof the pair of side walls 5 bin the height direction Z from the one end portion 5 jside to the other end portion 5 kside in the axial direction X. Accordingly, the insertability of the electric wire bundle 30 into the slot 20 is improved. That is, the bottom wall 5a serves as a guide when the electric wire bundle 30 is inserted into the slot 20.The pair of flange walls 5 care portions provided at the other end portions 5 hof the pair of side walls 5 bin the height direction Z and protruding from the other end portions 5 htoward the sides where they are separated from each other along the width direction Y.The pair of flange walls 5 cis slidably fixed to a peripheral edge portion of the slit 20 on an inner surface 11 a 1 (see FIG. 12 ) on the guide space portion 12 side of the upper wall 11 a. The pair of flange walls 5c extend parallel to the top wall 11a. The protruding amount of the pair of flange walls 5 calong the width direction Y is set according to the opening widths d 1 and d 2 of the slit 20 and the like.The first cut portion 5 fis a portion provided on the other end portion 5 kside of the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bin the axial direction X and extends along the height direction Z across the bottom wall 5 aand the other end portions 5 hof the pair of side walls 5 bas viewed from the width direction Y (see FIG. 10 ). The first cut portion 5 fhas a flat end surface facing the other side in the axial direction X. The first cut portion 5 fis formed by, for example, cutting or the like the other end portion 5 kof the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bin the axial direction X along the height direction Z. The first cut portion 5 fis perpendicular to the two flange walls 5 c. The first cut portion 5 ffunctions as, for example, a portion that prevents the jig 5 from being caught when inserted into the slot 20.The second cut portion 5 eis a portion provided on the one side of the end portion 5 jof the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bin the axial direction X and extends along an inclination direction between the height direction Z and the axial direction X across the bottom wall 5 aand the one end portions 5 jof the pair of side walls 5 bwhen viewed from the width direction Y (see FIG. 10 ). The second cut portion 5 eis provided at a corner portion 5 nwhere the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bintersecate on the one end portion 5 jin the axial direction X. The second cut portion 5 ehas a flat end surface facing one side in the axial direction X and one side in the height direction Z. The second cut portion 5 eis formed by, for example, cutting or the like the corner portion 5 nof the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 balong the inclination direction between the height direction Z and the axial direction X. The second cut portion 5 eis inclined with respect to the pair of flange walls 5 c, the first cut portion 5 f, and the like. The second cut portion 5 efunctions as, for example, a portion that prevents the jig 5 from being caught when inserted into the slot 20.Next, an example of a method of manufacturing the wire harness assembly 1 having the above-mentioned configuration will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing the wire harness assembly 1, FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the wire harness assembly 1 and a view illustrating a first step S 1, FIG. 13 is a perspective view of the wire harness assembly 1 and illustrating a second step S 2, FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the wire harness assembly 1 and illustrating a third step S 3, and FIG. 15 is a perspective view of the wire harness assembly 1 and a view illustrating a fourth step S 4.First, in the course of the first step S 1, as illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12, the electric wire bundle 30 in which the plurality of electric wires W are bundled is held with the jig 5. In this case, the above-described binding posture variable portion 32 of the electric wire bundle 30 is held from both sides in the width direction Y by the pair of side walls 5 bof the jig 5, and the binding posture variable portion 32 is deformed or displaced so as to be in a vertically long state along the height direction Z. In addition, the jig 5 is inclined so that the bottom wall 5 aof the jig 5 is parallel to the electric wire bundle 30 (axial direction X). In this case, the jig 5 is inclined so that the one end portion 5 jin the axial direction X approaches the slit 20 located on the other side in the height direction Z with respect to the other end portion 5 k.Next, in the course of the second step S 2, as illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 13, the jig 5 is inserted into the slot 20 provided in the outer wall 11 of the body member 10 (fastening member 10A). In this case, the jig 5 is inserted into, for example, the wide portion 22 of the slot 20 and obliquely inserted with respect to the wide portion 22. At this time, in the present embodiment, since the above-described second cut portion 5 eis provided at the one end portion 5 jof the jig 5 in the axial direction X, the one end portion 5 jof the jig 5 in the axial direction X is prevented from being caught by an edge portion of the wide portion 22 by the second cut portion 5 e. Then, the jig 5 obliquely inserted into the wide portion 22 is pressed to one side in the axial direction X, and the posture of the jig 5 is restored such that the pair of flange walls 5 cof the jig 5 is parallel to the top wall 11 a. At this time, in the present embodiment, since the above-described first cut portion 5 fis provided at the other end portion 5 kof the jig 5 in the axial direction X, the other end portion 5 kof the jig 5 in the axial direction X is prevented from being caught by the first cut portion 5 ffrom the edge portion of the wide portion 22.Next, in the course of the third step S 3, as illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 14, by sliding the jig 5 along the narrow portion 21 of the slot 20, the electric wire bundle 30 is introduced from the outside into the guide space portion 12 of the body member 10, and the electric wire bundle 30 is deformed or slid to be narrower than the opening width d 1 of the slot 20. The binding posture variable portion 32 of the electric wire bundle 30 is guided to the slot 20 side by the bottom wall 5 aof the jig 5, and the binding posture variable portion 32 falls through an opening 5 dbetween the pair of side walls 5 bto the guide space portion 12 through the slot 20 as a result of the sliding movement of the jig 5 toward one side in the axial direction X with respect to the top wall 11 a.Then, in the course of the fourth step S 4, as illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 15, the jig 5 is removed from the slot 20. In this case, the jig 5 is, for example, pulled out obliquely with respect to the narrow part 21 of the slot 20. In a state where the electric wire bundle 30 is mounted on the body member 10, the binding posture variable portion 32 at the center portion 30 bin the axial direction X is guided in the guide space portion 12, and the pair of binding posture maintaining portions 31 at both end portions 30 ain the axial direction X is pulled out to the outside of the body member 10 through the slit 20. Through the first step S 1 to the fourth step S 4, the electric wire bundle 30 of the wire harness WH can be mounted to the guide space portion 12 of the body member 10 to manufacture the wire harness assembly 1. Note that the mounting device 5 is not limited to use in a direction along a vertical direction (height direction Z) as illustrated in FIGS. 9, 12 and the like, and may be used, for example, in a direction in which it is laid down in a horizontal direction (width direction Y or axial direction X).As described above, in the mounting device 5 of the present embodiment, the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bare formed in a conical shape in which the bottom wall 5 ais inclined so as to gradually approach the other end portions 5 hof the pair of side walls 5 bin the height direction Z from the one end portion 5 jside to the other end portion 5 kside in the axial direction X, and the first cut portion 5 fextending along the height direction Z across the bottom wall 5 aand the other end portions 5 hof the pair of side walls 5 bin the height direction Z as viewed from the width direction Y are provided on the other end portion 5 kside in the axial direction X. With this configuration, for example, with the jig 5, the other end portions 5 kof the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bin the axial direction X can be prevented from being caught by the slit 20 of the body member 10 (fastening member 10A) by the first cut portion 5 f. As a result, the feasibility of fastening work can be improved with the mounting device 5.In addition, in the mounting device 5 of the present embodiment, the pair of side walls 5 bincludes the pair of flange walls 5 cprovided at the other end portions 5 hin the height direction Z protruding toward the sides where the pair of flange walls 5 care separated from each other along the width direction Y and are slidably fixed to the inner surface 11 a 1 of the outer wall 11 on the side of the guide space portion 12. With this configuration, in the mounting device 5, for example, the mounting device 5 can be slid by the pair of flange walls 5 cwith respect to the inner surface 11 a 1 of the outer wall 11, and the workability of the fastening work of the electric wire bundle 30 can be further improved.In addition, in the mounting device 5 of the present embodiment, the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bare configured to include the second cut portion 5 eprovided at the corner portion 5 nwhere the bottom wall 5 aand the pair of side walls 5 bter the one side of the end portion 5 jin the axial direction X intersect and extend along the inclination direction between the height direction Z and the axial direction X across the bottom wall 5 aand the one end portions 5 jof the pair of side walls 5 bin the axial direction X as viewed from the width direction Y. With this configuration, the mounting device 5 can prevent the one end portion 5 jof the mounting device 5 in the axial direction X from being clamped by the second cut portion 5 ewith respect to the slit 20, for example, And the workability of the fastening work can be further improved.Modification: ModificationFIG. 16 is a perspective view of the wire harness WH according to a modification, and FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of the binding posture variable portion 32 of the wire harness WH according to the modification.

Specifically, in the present modification, the second binding member 50A binds the plurality of electric wires W more loosely than the first binding member 40, and is provided at the central portion 30 bof the electric wire bundle 30 in the axial direction X. The second binding member 50A binds the plurality of electric wires W so that the binding posture of the electric wire bundle 30, in other words, the cross-sectional shape (see FIG. 17 ) intersecting the axial direction X of the electric wire bundle 30 becomes variable.The second binding member 50A has, for example, an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter d (see FIG. 2 ) of the electric wire bundle 30, and is configured to be capable of absorbing deformation of the electric wire bundle 30 along a radial direction. That is, the second binding member 50A is wound around the plurality of electric wires W in a state in which the electric wire bundle 30 can be elastically deformed. Note that FIG. 17 illustrates a cross-sectional shape at the time of insertion (at the time of elastic deformation) of the binding posture variable portion 32 bound by the second binding member 50A with respect to the slit 20.As described above, in the wire harness WH of the present modification, the second binding member 50A has an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter d of the electric wire bundle 30, and is configured to be capable of absorbing the deformation of the electric wire bundle 30 along the radial direction. With this configuration, for example, with the wire harness WH, the deformation, the displacement, and the like of the electric wire bundle 30 can be compensated by the second binding member 50A, and finally, the workability of the fastening work of the wire harness WH can be improved.Note that, in the above embodiment and the modification, the case where the fastening member 10A includes the body member 10 constituting the frame of the vehicle 100 has been exemplified, but this is not limited to this example, and the fastening member may include, for example, an outer metal material that regulates the guiding path of the electric wire bundle 30. In addition, in the above embodiment and the modification, the case where the slit 20 is provided in the upper wall 11 aof the body member 10 (fastening member 10A) has been exemplified, but this is not limited to this example, and for example, the slit may be provided in the side wall 11 clocated on the vehicle interior side of the pair of side walls 11 cand 11 d. In this case, the side wall 11 cis an example of the first wall portion.In addition, in the above embodiment and the above modification, the case where the slit 20 is provided to extend along the axial direction X with respect to the outer wall 11 of the body member 10 has been exemplified, but this is not limited to this example, and for example, the slit 20 may be configured to include a first portion extending along the axial direction X and a second portion communicating with the first portion and extending along the width direction Y. In this case, for example, by providing the second portion above the upper wall 11 aand the side wall 11 con the vehicle interior side of the outer wall 11, the portion 31 of the electric wire bundle 30 that maintains the binding posture can be pulled out from the side wall 11 c.Although the embodiment and the modification of the present invention have been exemplified above, the above embodiment and modification are examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The above embodiment and modification can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, combinations, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. Moreover, the specifications (structure, type, direction, shape, size, length, width, thickness, height, number, arrangement, position, material, etc.) can be changed and implemented according to each configuration, shape, etc.In the mounting device according to the present embodiment, a bottom wall and a pair of side walls are formed in a conical shape in which the bottom wall is inclined so as to gradually approach the other end portions of the pair of side walls in a height direction from the one end portion side to the other end portion side in an axial direction, and a first cut portion extending along the height direction across the bottom wall and the other end portions of the pair of side walls in the height direction as viewed from a width direction is provided on the other side of the end portion in the axial direction. With this configuration, for example, with the mounting device, the other end portions of the bottom wall and the pair of side walls in the axial direction can be prevented from being caught by the slit of the fastening member through the first cut portion. As a result, the mounting device has an effect that the workability of the fastening work can be improved.References included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
