[0007] According to the disclosed technical teaching, the locking hole is designed for inserting the clip into the inner sheet metal of the door.
[0008] There is a problem in that the door has reduced water resistance and deteriorated sound insulation properties if the locking hole for fixing the wiring harness is formed in the inner door panel.
[0009] The present invention is therefore based on the objective of providing a technical teaching with which, in an embodiment in which a conductor element is fixed to a box-like element, which is for example a component of a door, the number of holes for fixing the conductor element can be reduced as much as possible. MEANS OF SOLVING THE TASK
[0010] The problem is solved by an installation component with an integrated conductor element according to a first aspect, comprising: an installation component having at least one conductor element receiving groove in a base surface and being installed in a box-like element to separate an inside and an outside of the box-like element; and a conductor element that is held on the installation component, wherein the conductor element is received at least section by section in the conductor element receiving groove in its direction of travel.
[0011] A second aspect is the installation component with integrated guide element according to the first aspect, wherein the installation component is a door component that is installed in an inner sheet metal that is arranged on an inside of a door to close an opening of the inner sheet metal.
[0012] A third aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to the second aspect, where the installation component is a plastic component.
[0013] A fourth aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to the third aspect, wherein a hot-formed section is formed on an opening section of the conductor element receiving groove on a side opposite a bottom of the conductor element receiving groove, which prevents the electrical conductor from coming out of the conductor element receiving groove.
[0014] A fifth aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to one of aspects 1 to 4, wherein the conductor element receiving groove is formed in a section of the installation component that faces an inside or an outside of the box-like element.
[0015] A sixth aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to one of aspects 1 to 5, which further features: a sound insulation element that overlays the installation component on one side where the conductor element receiving groove is formed.
[0016] A seventh aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to one of aspects 1 to 6, wherein a retaining piece is formed on an opening section of the conductor element receiving groove on a side opposite a base of the conductor element receiving groove, which prevents the electrical conductor from coming out of the conductor element receiving groove.
[0017] An eighth aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to one of aspects 1 to 7, which further comprises: a filling fixing section which fills the conductor element receiving groove in order to fix the conductor element in the conductor element receiving groove.
[0018] A ninth aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to one of aspects 1 to 7, wherein the conductor element is held in the conductor element receiving groove in such a way that it is movable along a direction of travel of the conductor element receiving groove.
[0019] A tenth aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to one of aspects 1 to 9, wherein the conductor element comprises several electrical conductors, which are formed parallel to each other in the installation component in several conductor element receiving grooves, and the several electrical conductors are distributed over and held in the several conductor element receiving grooves.

[0021] A twelfth aspect is the installation component with integrated conductor element according to one of aspects 1 to 11, which further features: a cover element that covers the conductor element from one side opposite the installation component. EFFECT OF INVENTION
[0022] According to the first aspect, the conductor element is held by the installation component (integrated component) in a state where it is received in the conductor element receiving groove. Therefore, it is not necessary to form a hole for inserting a clip to secure the conductor element in the section where the conductor element is fixed by the conductor element receiving groove. Consequently, in the design for fixing the conductor element to the box-like element, the number of holes for fixing the conductor element can be reduced as much as possible.
[0023] According to the second aspect, the cable element receiving groove is formed in a mounting component, which is a door component installed in such a way that it covers an opening in the inner sheet metal, and the cable element is housed in and held by the cable element receiving groove.

[0024] According to the third aspect, weight savings can be achieved.
[0025] According to the fourth aspect, the opening section of the conductor element receiving groove, located on the side opposite the base, features a hot-formed section that prevents the electrical conductor from emerging from the receiving groove. This allows the conductor element to be held in the receiving groove without the need for welding, for example, the mounting component and the conductor element.
[0026] According to the fifth aspect, the conductor element can be held in the section of the installation component that faces the inside or the outside of the box-like element.
[0027] According to the sixth aspect, the conductor element can be held in the conductor element by the soundproofing element.
[0028] According to the seventh aspect, the electrical conductor can be released from the conductor element receiving groove by inserting a tool, such as a screwdriver, into the through-hole and lifting the retaining piece.
[0029] According to the eighth aspect, the conductor element can be fixed more reliably in the conductor element receiving groove.
[0030] According to the ninth aspect, any difference that may occur between the conductor element and the installation component due to contraction and / or expansion can be absorbed.
[0031] According to the tenth aspect, the multiple electrical conductors are distributed across and held in the multiple conductor element receiving grooves, which are formed parallel to each other. This allows the multiple electrical conductors to be kept particularly flat.
[0032] According to the eleventh aspect, the multiple electrical conductors are individually held in the multiple conductor element receiving grooves, which are designed parallel to each other. This allows the multiple electrical conductors to be held even flatter.
[0033] According to the twelfth aspect, the conductor element hardly comes into contact with the installation component.

DETAILED EXAMPLES OF THE INVENTION
[0034] The following describes a built-in component with an integrated conductor element according to an exemplary embodiment. An example is given where the built-in component is a plastic component installed in a door, as well as an example of a door-plastic component with an integrated conductor element as a whole. Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic side view illustrating a door 10 into which a door plastic component 20 with integrated conduit element is installed. Fig. Figure 2 shows a schematic cross-sectional view along line II-II in Fig. 1, Fig. Figure 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view along line III-III in Fig. 1, Fig. Figure 4 shows a schematic, disassembled representation of the door plastic component 20 with integrated conductor element, and Fig. Figure 5 shows a schematic cross-sectional view along line VV in Fig. 4.
[0035] Door 10 has a flat design and is a component that can be opened and closed, separating the interior and exterior of a vehicle. Door 10 can be, for example, a driver's side door, a passenger's side door, or a rear seat side door.
[0036] The door 10 comprises a metallic sheet metal element 12 as well as the door plastic component 20 with integrated conductor element.
[0037] The sheet metal element 12 comprises an outer sheet 13 (metallic outer sheet, metallic flat part) and an inner sheet 14 (metallic inner sheet, metallic flat part). The outer sheet 13 is provided in a section of the door 10 that faces the outside of the vehicle and, together with a metal body, defines the vehicle's external appearance. The inner sheet 14 is provided on the inside of the outer sheet 13. An assembled body consisting of the inner sheet 14 and the outer sheet 13 is an example of a box-like element. An opening 15 is provided in the inner sheet 14. The door plastic component 20 with integrated guide element is fitted into the opening 15 and closes the opening 15.A door plastic component 30 is an example of an installation component that is installed in the box-like element to separate an inside and an outside of the box-like element formed by the inner sheet 14 and the outer sheet 13.
[0038] The door plastic component 20 with integrated conductor element comprises the door plastic component 30 and a conductor element 50.
[0039] The door plastic component 30 is a flat plastic component with a surface area substantially equal to or larger than the opening 15. The door plastic component 30 is installed in the opening 15 of the inner panel 14 and closes or covers the opening 15. Accordingly, the door plastic component 30 can separate the inside and outside of the vehicle. The door plastic component 30 is installed in the opening 15 of the inner panel 14, and its installation is maintained, for example, by a screw-in or snap-fit structure. For example, a portion of an edge section of the door plastic component 30 that overlaps the inner panel 14 can be screwed to the inner panel 14, thus effectively closing any gap between them.
[0040] The plastic door component 30 is attached to the inner panel 14, and a space is formed between the outer panel 13, the inner panel 14, and the plastic door component 30. A window of the door 10 can be located in this space. A window exposed to rainwater is located in this space, and an opening slot is formed at the top of the space through which the window can be extended and retracted. Thus, the space is a space into which water can enter. The space is a space that can be connected to an exterior area, and therefore, for example, wind noise from outside can penetrate it.
[0041] Thus, the door plastic component 30 with the inner sheet metal 14 is provided as one element, which serves to completely separate a vehicle interior and an exterior space from each other.
[0042] More precisely, the door plastic component 30 can be a plastic molded part and have a base plate 32 and a section 34 which forms a storage space - hereinafter referred to as "storage compartment 34".
[0043] The base plate 32 is a plate-like part of sufficient size to close or cover the opening 15. The storage compartment 34 is open on one side of a base surface of the skin plate 32 (a side facing the interior of the vehicle) and is designed in the form of a container that projects on one side of the other base surface (outside) of the base plate 32. The storage compartment 34 is designed in the form of a container that is smaller than the opening 15.
[0044] The plastic door component 30 is fitted into the opening 15 of the inner sheet metal 14, and the storage compartment 34 is provided within the opening 15. The base plate 32 covers an area between an opening edge section of the storage compartment 34 and a circumferential edge section of the opening 15.
[0045] For example, an electrical component 18, which is to be installed in the door 10, can be installed in the storage compartment 34 of the door plastic component 30. The electrical component 18 could be, for example, a motor for opening and closing the window, an actuator for locking and unlocking the door 10, and / or various switches.
[0046] From a section of the outer circumference of the storage compartment 34 of the door plastic component 30, the cable guides 36 and 38 extend into the storage compartment 34.
[0047] One cable guide 36 is provided such that it projects from a front section of the outer circumference of the storage compartment 34 into the storage compartment 34, running in a front-to-rear direction. "Front" and "rear" refer to the front and rear of the vehicle, respectively. The cable guide 36 has an inclined surface 37, the height of which gradually decreases from a base surface of the base plate 32 towards an inner surface 35 of the floor of the storage compartment 34.
[0048] The other wiring guide 38 is provided such that it projects from a rear section (a section aft of the vehicle) of the outer perimeter of the storage compartment 34 into the storage compartment 34. When viewing the door plastic component 30 from inside the vehicle, the one projecting wiring guide 36 and the other wiring guide 38 are oriented along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle. The other wiring guide 38 has an inclined surface 39, the height of which gradually decreases from the base surface of the base plate 32 towards the inner surface 35 of the floor of the storage compartment 34.
[0049] End sections of the above-described inclined surfaces 37 and 39 on one side of the floor of the storage compartment 34 are connected to the inner surface 35 of the floor of the storage compartment 34.
[0050] The base plate 32 has a speaker mounting hole 33 for mounting a speaker. However, it is not necessary to form the speaker mounting hole 33 in the door plastic component 30. It is also conceivable that a speaker mounting hole is formed in an inner panel and that the door plastic component 30 is installed in an area that differs from the section where a speaker is installed in the inner panel.
[0051] In one base surface of the door plastic component 30, grooves 41, 42 and 43 are formed for receiving the conductor element. The conductor element 50 is held by the door plastic component 30 in such a way that at least one section of it is received in the conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 in one direction of travel.
[0052] More precisely, the cable element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 are formed along a cable path of the cable element 50 on the door plastic component 30. The cable element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 comprise at least a first cable element receiving groove 41, at least a second cable element receiving groove 42 and at least a third cable element receiving groove 43.
[0053] In the present example, several (three in this example) first cable element receiving grooves 41 are formed. The first cable element receiving grooves 41 are formed along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle from a front section to a rear section of the door plastic component 30. More specifically, the first cable element receiving grooves 41 extend from a vertically intermediate section (an intermediate section not located at either of the two vertical ends) of a front edge section of the base plate 32, across a base surface on a front section of the base plate 32, the inclined surface 37, the inner surface 35 of the floor of the storage compartment 34, the inclined surface 39, and the other base surface on the rear section of the base plate 32 to a vertically intermediate section of a rear edge section of the base plate 32.When viewing the door plastic component 30 from inside the vehicle, the first conductor element receiving grooves 41 are linearly designed in such a way that they run along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0054] The multiple first conductor element receiving grooves 41 are configured such that they run parallel to each other at intervals. Each first conductor element receiving groove 41 is formed in a groove-like shape and can accommodate a first electrical conductor 51. The width of each first conductor element receiving groove 41 is preferably equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the respective first electrical conductor 51. The depth of each first conductor element receiving groove 41 is preferably equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the respective first electrical conductor 51.
[0055] The conductor element 50 of the door 10 is connected to the vehicle at a hinge side of the door 10 and branches out along a path from a front side to a rear side of the door 10 to various electrical components 18. The first conductor element receiving grooves 41 can be used to hold the first electrical conductors 51 which are connected to the electrical component 18 which is installed in the rear side of the door 10, such as a motor for locking and unlocking the door.
[0056] Several (in the present example, two) secondary cable element receiving grooves 42 are formed. Each secondary cable element receiving groove 42 extends from the front section of the door plastic component 30 along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle to an inner section of the cable element receiving groove 41. More specifically, the secondary cable element receiving grooves 42 run above the first cable element receiving grooves 41 from the vertically intermediate section of the front edge section of the base plate 32, across a base surface on the front section of the base plate 32, to a section of the inclined surface 37 that is intermediate in the direction of travel (an intermediate section not located at either end in the direction of travel).When viewing the door plastic component 30 from inside the vehicle, the second conductor element receiving grooves 42 are linearly designed such that they run along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0057] The multiple second conductor element receiving grooves 42 are designed such that they run parallel to each other at intervals. Each second conductor element receiving groove 42 is formed in a groove-like shape and can receive a second electrical conductor 52 in the same way as the first conductor element receiving grooves 41.
[0058] The second conductor element receiving grooves 42 can be used to hold the second electrical conductors 52 which are connected to the electrical component 18 which is installed in the upper side of the storage compartment 34.
[0059] Several (in this example, two) third cable element receiving grooves 43 are formed. Each third cable element receiving groove 43 extends from the front section of the door plastic component 30 along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle to an inner section of the cable element receiving groove 41. More specifically, the third cable element receiving grooves 43 run below the first cable element receiving grooves 41 from the vertically intermediate section of the front edge section of the base plate 32, across a base surface on a front section of the base plate 32, to the horizontally intermediate section of the inclined surface 37. The third cable element receiving grooves 43 are longer than the second cable element receiving grooves 42.When viewing the door plastic component 30 from inside the vehicle, the third conductor element receiving grooves 43 are linearly designed in such a way that they run along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0060] The multiple third conductor element receiving grooves 43 are designed such that they run parallel to each other at intervals. Each third conductor element receiving groove 43 is formed in a groove-like shape and can receive a third electrical conductor 53 in the same way as the first conductor element receiving grooves 41.
[0061] The third conductor element receiving grooves 43 can be used to hold the third electrical conductors 53 which are connected to the electrical component 18 which is installed in the lower side of the storage compartment 34.
[0062] The multiple first cable element receiving grooves 41, the multiple second cable element receiving grooves 42, and the multiple third cable element receiving grooves 43 are formed parallel at regular intervals on a section of the door plastic component 30 near a hinge section, that is, on a base surface of the base plate 32 that is located closer to the front when viewed from the storage compartment 34. The second cable element receiving grooves 42 end, then the third cable element receiving grooves 43 end, and finally only the first cable element receiving grooves 41 extend to the rear, i.e., from the front section to the rear section of the door plastic component 30.
[0063] The conductor element 50 comprises electrical conductors provided in the door 10 and connected to the electrical component(s) 18 provided in the door 10. In this example, the conductor element 50 comprises several electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53. Each electrical conductor 51, 52, and 53 can be an electrical conductor with a metallic core and sheathing around the core. The core can be a solid conductor or a stranded wire.
[0064] In the present example, the multiple electrical lines 51, 52 and 53 comprise at least one first electrical line 51, at least one second electrical line 52 and at least one third electrical line 53. In particular, several (in the present example three) first electrical lines 51 are provided, several (in the present example two) second electrical lines 52 are provided, and several (in the present example two) third electrical lines are provided.
[0065] The first electrical conductors 51, the second electrical conductors 52, and the third electrical conductors 53 are bundled parallel to each other at one end. Assume that one end section of the first electrical conductors 51, the second electrical conductors 52, and the third electrical conductors 53 extends from a hinge side of the door 10, beyond the door 10, into the vehicle interior (the interior of a vehicle body), and is connected by means of a connector to another connector located inside the vehicle. The first electrical conductors 51 extend further than the second electrical conductors 52 and the third electrical conductors 53, and the second electrical conductors 52 and the third electrical conductors 53 branch off from the first electrical conductors 51 in a section intermediate in one direction of travel.Connectors 56 are attached to the other end sections of the first, second and third electrical lines 51, 52, 53, and the first, second and third electrical lines 51, 52, 53 are connected to the respective electrical component 18 via the respective connector 56.
[0066] The multiple first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, 53 are distributed across and held by the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43. In the present example, the multiple first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43 are arranged parallel to each other in a number corresponding to the multiple first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53. The multiple first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53 are individually held in the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43.
[0067] More specifically, each of the several first electrical conductors 51 is housed in exactly one of the several first conductor element receiving grooves 41 and is held by it. Accordingly, the several first electrical conductors 51 are held along a specific path from the vertically intermediate section of the front edge section of the base plate 32, across a surface on the front section of the base plate 32, the inclined surface 37, the inner surface 35 of the floor of the storage compartment 34, the inclined surface 39, and the other surface on the rear section of the base plate 32, to the vertically intermediate section of the rear edge section of the base plate 32 along the several first conductor element receiving grooves 41. The several first electrical conductors 51 continue from a rear section of the door plastic component 30 to be connected to the electrical component 18.
[0068] Each of the several second electrical conductors 52 is housed in exactly one of the several second conductor element receiving grooves 42 and is held by it. Accordingly, the several second electrical conductors 52 are held along a specific path from the vertically intermediate section of the front section of the base plate 32, across a surface on the front of the base plate 32, along the several second conductor element receiving grooves 42 above the first electrical conductors 51, to an intermediate section of the inclined surface 37.
[0069] Each of the several third electrical conductors 53 is housed in exactly one of the several third conductor element receiving grooves 43 and is held by it. Accordingly, the several third electrical conductors 53 are held along a specific path from the vertically intermediate section of the front section of the base plate 32, across a surface on the front of the base plate 32, along the several third conductor element receiving grooves 43 below the first electrical conductors 51, to the intermediate section of the inclined surface 37.
[0070] The multiple second electrical conductors 52 and the multiple third electrical conductors 53 are led out of the second conductor element receiving grooves 42 and the third conductor element receiving grooves 43 into the interior of the storage compartment 34 in the intermediate section of the inclined surface 37 and are connected to the respective electrical component 18 in the storage compartment 34.
[0071] In the present embodiment, the multiple first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53 are each individually housed in one of the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43, respectively. However, all of the multiple electrical conductors can also be housed in and held by a common conductor element receiving groove. It is also conceivable to divide the multiple electrical conductors into several groups, to provide a number of conductor element receiving grooves corresponding to the number of groups, and to house and hold each of the several groups of the multiple electrical conductors in one of the respective conductor element receiving grooves.
[0072] At an opening section (in the area of an opening) on a side opposite a base of each of the conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43, a respective hot-formed section 48 is formed, which prevents the corresponding first, second and third electrical conductors 51, 52 and 53 from coming out of the corresponding conductor element receiving groove 41, 42 and 43 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 3).
[0073] Each hot-formed section 48 is formed in a respective area where the first, second, and third cable element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43 extend through the front section of the base plate 32 and the inclined surface 37. Each hot-formed section 48 is also formed in a respective area where the first cable element receiving grooves 41 extend through the bottom of the storage compartment 34, through the inclined surface 39, and through the rear section of the base plate 32, respectively.
[0074] The respective hot-formed section 48 described above is a projecting section. The projecting section is arranged on a peripheral edge section of the opening section of each of the first, second and third conduit element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 on the side opposite the base and projects in the direction opposite the base, and is melted and deformed by heat to narrow or completely close the opening section.
[0075] The hot-formed section 48 described above narrows or closes the opening of each of the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43, respectively, but is not welded to the first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53 housed therein. Accordingly, the first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53 are held in the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43, respectively, in such a way that they are movable along their direction of travel. Even if the first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53 and the door plastic component 30 expand to different degrees due to, for example, different coefficients of thermal expansion, there is therefore hardly any undue tensile force acting on the first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53.
[0076] However, it is also conceivable to weld the hot-formed section 48 to the first, second and third electrical lines 51, 52 and 53.
[0077] A process is now described by which the first, second and third electrical lines 51, 52 and 53 described above are attached to the door plastic component 30.
[0078] Before the first, second and third electrical conductors 51, 52, 53 described above are attached to the door plastic component 30, a respective protruding section 49 is formed in a section of the door plastic component 30 in which a respective hot-formed section 48 is to be formed (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) For each of the first, second and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43, a respective projecting section 49 is formed on both side sections of an opening in a section in which the respective hot-formed section 48 is to be formed. The projecting section 49 projects in a direction that extends from the base surface of the door plastic component 30.
[0079] The first, second and third electrical conductors 51, 52 and 53 respectively are accommodated in the first, second and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 respectively.
[0080] In this state, a hot-forming die 60, heated to a temperature at which the respective protruding section 49 of the door plastic component 30 can be softened, is pressed onto the respective protruding section 49 (see Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) The respective protruding section 49 is then softened and deformed by the hot forming die 60. The softened and deformed protruding section 49 is pressed and expanded towards the upper side of the opening of the respective first, second, or third conductor element receiving groove 41, 42, or 43, respectively. Accordingly, the opening of the respective conductor element receiving groove 41, 42, and 43 is narrowed or completely closed. The hot forming die 60 is a device with a head surface that can come into contact with the multiple protruding sections 49 and can be heated by a heating element, such as a heater.
[0081] In this way, the first, second and third electrical conductors 51, 52 and 53 are received and held in the first, second and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, 43.
[0082] If the preceding section 49 is deformed too extensively, there is a possibility that the deformed section will enter the inner surface of one of the first, second, or third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, or 43, respectively, and weld to the first, second, or third electrical conductor 51, 52, or 53, respectively. Therefore, the hot forming die 60 is preferably pressed onto the respective preceding section 49 only to such an extent that the deformed preceding section 49 does not enter the inner surface of the respective first, second, or third conductor element receiving groove 41, 42, or 43 excessively.
[0083] The degree of pressure exerted by the hot-forming die 60 can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the distance between the head surface of the hot-forming die 60 and the base surface of the door plastic component 30. To regulate the applied pressure to a constant level, it is preferably possible, as shown in Fig. Figure 7 illustrates that a height compensation projection 70 is formed on each side of the first, second, and third guide element receiving grooves 41, 42, 43 on the base surface of the door plastic component 30. Each height compensation projection 70 is positioned facing a section of the hot forming die 60 that is not heated sufficiently to fuse the height compensation projection 70, for example, a position facing a lateral section of the hot forming die 60. The protruding dimension of the height compensation projection 70 is selected such that the height compensation projection 70 ensures that a head surface of the hot forming die 60 is positioned at a predetermined distance from the base surface of the door plastic component 30.The predetermined distance is chosen such that the respective protruding section 49, which is hot-formed by the hot-forming die 60, can narrow or completely close the opening of each of the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43, but can hardly enter the respective first, second, and third conductor element receiving groove 41, 42, and 43. The predetermined distance can be determined experimentally and empirically.
[0084] The hot forming die 60 is then pressed onto the protruding sections 49 until it comes into contact with the height compensation projection 70, thereby crushing the protruding sections 49 and hot forming them to a substantially constant level. Accordingly, the first, second, and third conductors 51, 52, and 53 can be more reliably held by the protruding sections 49 in the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43, respectively, and welding of the protruding sections 49 to the first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53, respectively, can be prevented.
[0085] It can be difficult to simultaneously arrange the first electrical conductors 51, the second electrical conductors 52, and the third electrical conductors 53 in the first conductor element receiving grooves 41, the second conductor element receiving groove 42, and the third conductor element receiving grooves 43, because the other end sections of the first electrical conductors 51, the second electrical conductors 52, and the third electrical conductors 53 may lead to different destinations. In such a case, the first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53 can be divided into several groups, and each group can be arranged individually.For example, the first electrical conductors 51, the second electrical conductors 52, and the third electrical conductors 53 are sequentially arranged at different times in the first conductor element receiving grooves 41, the second conductor element receiving grooves 42, and the third conductor element receiving grooves 43, respectively. In this case, the process of forming the hot-formed section 48 preferably takes place separately for the first electrical conductors 51, the second electrical conductors 52, and the third electrical conductors 53. Furthermore, in this case, the hot-formed sections 48 can be formed at positions that are offset for the first conductor element receiving grooves 41, the second conductor element receiving grooves 42, and the third conductor element receiving grooves 43, respectively.
[0086] According to the door plastic component 20 with integrated wiring element as described above, the wiring element 50 (the electrical wires 51, the second electrical wires 52, and the third electrical wires 53) is held in the door plastic component 30 in a state where it is accommodated in the wiring element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43. Therefore, it is not necessary to form a hole for inserting a clip for holding the wiring element 50 in the section where the wiring element 50 is held by the wiring element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43. Accordingly, in the design for holding the wiring element 50 in the door 10, the number of holes for fixing the wiring element 50 can be reduced as much as possible.
[0087] The door plastic component 30, which is an example of the installation component, is a plastic component, so downsizing is possible.
[0088] The conductor element 50 can also be held by a clip in a different section than the one in which the conductor element 50 is held by the conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43. Even in this case, the number of holes for holding the clip can still be reduced as much as possible.
[0089] The cable element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43 are formed in the door plastic component 30, which is installed in such a way that it closes the opening 15 of the inner sheet metal 14, and the cable element 50 is received in and held by the cable element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43. This allows the thickness of the door 10 to be reduced and, furthermore, increases the interior space of the vehicle.
[0090] In the opening sections of each of the cable element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 on the side opposite the floor, a respective hot-formed section 48 is arranged. The hot-formed sections 48 reliably prevent the cable element 50 from coming out of the cable element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 without the need to weld the door plastic component 30 and the cable element 50 together.
[0091] This means that an embodiment in which the conductor element is welded to the door plastic component was also considered as a design for holding the conductor element in the door plastic component. However, it is conceivable that adhesion would be reduced if a combination of the conductor element's sheathing material and the door plastic component material has unfavorable adhesive properties. Furthermore, measures would have to be taken to protect the sheathing material from excessive thermal influences. In the present embodiment, however, the conductor element 50 is not welded to the respective hot-formed section 48, but rather the respective hot-formed section 48 narrows or closes the opening of one of the conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43 in order to hold the conductor element 50 in the receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43.Therefore, there is no need to consider, for example, the combination of the sheathing material of the conductor element 50 and the material of the door plastic component 30, or the thermal influence on the sheathing material.
[0092] The conductor element 50 is movable in the conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 along their longitudinal direction. Therefore, even if the conductor element 50 and the door plastic component 30 expand or contract differently under the influence of heat, for example, the conductor element 50 moves in the conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43, and thus differences in thermal expansion or contraction can be absorbed, and there are hardly any excessive tensile forces on the conductor element 50.
[0093] The first, second, and third electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53, which form the conductor element 50, are distributed across the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43, which are parallel to each other, and are held in the first, second, and third conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43. This allows the first, second, and third conductors 51, 52, and 53 to be kept as flat as possible.
[0094] Furthermore, the several first electrical conductors 51, the several second electrical conductors 52 and the several third electrical conductors 53 are individually held in the first conductor element receiving grooves 41, the second conductor element receiving groove 42 and the third conductor element receiving grooves 43, and thus the first electrical conductors 51, the second electrical conductors 52 and the third electrical conductors 53 can be held even flatter. Variation example
[0095] Based on the exemplary embodiment described above, various modification examples are described.
[0096] In the preceding embodiment, it was described by way of example that parts projecting from the bottom on both sides of the peripheral edge section of the opening section of each of the conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43 are melted and deformed by heat in order to narrow or completely close the opening. However, a first modified example is also conceivable, which in Fig. Figure 8 shows that in this modified example, a protruding section 148p is arranged only on exactly one side of the peripheral edge section of the opening section of each of the conductor element receiving grooves 141 opposite a base thereof and is melted by heat and deformed in such a way that it is bent in the direction of the opening of the respective conductor element receiving groove 141 to form the hot-formed section 148, while an electrical conductor 151 is received in each of the conductor element receiving grooves 141, wherein the conductor element receiving grooves 141 are formed in a door plastic component 130 corresponding to the door plastic component 30, and in this way the openings of the conductor element receiving grooves 141 are narrowed or completely closed.For example, a plastic of the preceding section 148p is preferably melted and deformed when the plastic has softened to a certain degree. That is to say, preferably the plastic is softened to a certain degree, and then its original shape is deformed to close at least one section of the opening.
[0097] According to a second variation example, which is in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 9, the first modified example is additionally provided with a cover element 210, which covers a conductor element (the electrical conductors 151) from one side opposite the door plastic component 130. The cover element 210 is a thin element, such as a plastic layer, a plastic film, or a nonwoven fabric. If the cover element 210 has a sound-insulating function, such as a foam plastic (urethane foam) or a nonwoven fabric, the cover element 210 can also be considered a soundproofing element.
[0098] For attaching the cover element 210 to a plastic door component 130, for example, a clamp or clip, double-sided adhesive tape, an adhesive, thermal welding, or ultrasonic welding can be used. According to the present example, the conductor element (the electrical conductors 151) is covered by the cover element 210, which shields it from forces that could cause the conductor element (the electrical conductors 151) to detach from the plastic door component 130, thus making it even less likely that the conductor element (the electrical conductors 151) will come out of the plastic door component 130.
[0099] In the embodiment described above, the guide element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43 are provided in the section of the door plastic component 30 that faces the outside of the box-like element, that is, in the section facing the inside of the vehicle. However, a third variation is also conceivable, which in Fig. Figure 10 illustrates this. Here, grooves 341 for receiving electrical conductors are formed in a section of the door plastic component 330, corresponding to the door plastic component 30, which faces the inside of the box-like element, i.e., in a section facing the outside of the automobile, to accommodate electrical conductors 351 in the grooves 341. In this case, the electrical conductors 351 are held in an inner space between the inner sheet metal 14 and the outer sheet metal 13, which have the box-like shape. In the present modified example, no storage compartment 34 is formed in the door plastic component 330; rather, the door plastic component 330 has an overall flat shape. Of course, a convex-concave section for arranging an electrical component can, for example, be formed in the door plastic component 330.Such a design can be useful if the electrical component is located on the inside of the door.
[0100] In any case, it is conceivable that the conductor element (the electrical conductors 351) is held in the section of the door plastic component 330, which is an example of the installation component, facing the inside or the outside of the box-like element.
[0101] In a fourth variation example, which is in Fig. 11 and Fig. As illustrated in Figure 12, a soundproofing element 410 can overlap a plastic door component 430, which corresponds to the plastic door component 30 described in the exemplary embodiment above, on one side on which the grooves 41, 42, and 43 for receiving the conductor element are formed. Here, the plastic door component 430 is described as having a flat shape; however, it can, for example, have a convex-concave section for receiving an electrical component. The soundproofing element 410 is an element for reducing noise or sound. The soundproofing element can be made of an acoustic material or a sound-insulating material. When considering a cross-section, the acoustic material has cavities in one direction of thickness. For example, the acoustic material absorbs sound energy that penetrates it, thereby reducing sound reflections as much as possible.Suitable acoustic materials include those with a large number of small cavities, such as polyurethane foam or nonwoven fabric. Sound-insulating materials, on the other hand, have no cavities in any direction of thickness when viewed in cross-section. They absorb or reflect sound energy, thereby reducing noise as much as possible. The acoustic material and / or the sound-insulating material can be used as the soundproofing element, depending on the application. The soundproofing element can perform both the acoustic and sound-insulating functions.
[0102] In the present example, the soundproofing element 410 is attached to the plastic door component 430 by means of a fastening component 420, referred to as a clamp or clip. The fastening component 420 has a head section 421, a column section 422, and a snap-in projection 423 and is, for example, made of plastic. The column section 422 is rod-shaped. The plate-like head section 421 is formed at one end section of the column section 422. The snap-in projection 423 has a gradually tapered design towards one end and has a snap-in section 423a at one end section, which can be snapped into a hole formed in the plastic door component 430 in such a way that it cannot detach.
[0103] The head section 421 is in a state in which the locking projection 423 extends through the soundproofing element 410 and the hole in the door plastic component 430, in direct contact with an outer surface of the soundproofing element 410, and the locking projection 423 is engaged with a circumferential edge section of the hole in the door plastic component 430 in such a way that it cannot detach. The soundproofing element 410 is attached to the door plastic component 430 at several positions by means of a respective fastening component 420, in particular at positions on both sides of the multiple cable element receiving grooves 41, 42 and 43.
[0104] According to the present modified example, the sound-insulating element 410, located on the inside and outside of the inner and outer panels 14 and 13, which have a box-like shape, can reduce noise. This reduction can occur both inside and outside the vehicle. Even if abnormal noise arises due to vibrations of the electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53 in the conductor element receiving grooves 41, 42, and 43, the sound-insulating element prevents this noise from penetrating to the outside. The conductor element (the electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53) is covered by the sound-insulating element 410, so that the conductor element (the electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53) barely protrudes from the door plastic component 130. In this respect, the sound-insulating element 410 can also be considered a type of cover element.In this way, both measures for sound insulation and measures for restraining the conductor element (the electrical conductors 51, 52 and 53) can be taken over by the sound insulation element 410.
[0105] In a fifth variation example, which is in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 13, the fourth modification example can further be provided with a cover element 510, which covers the conductor element (the electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53) from a side opposite the door-plastic component 430. The cover element 510 has a similar configuration to the cover element 210 described above and covers the conductor element (the electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53) and the soundproofing element 410 from an outer surface of the soundproofing element 410. Accordingly, the likelihood of the conductor element (the electrical conductors 51, 52, and 53) protruding from the door-plastic component 430 is made even less probable.
[0106] The cover element can be used in the embodiment described above as well as in the other modified examples.
[0107] In a sixth variation example, which is in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 14, conductor element receiving grooves 641 and 642 are formed in a door plastic component 630, which corresponds to the door plastic component 30. In the conductor element receiving grooves 641 (the two in Fig. Electrical conductors 651 are accommodated in the 14 illustrated conductor element receiving grooves 641. A retaining element 610, which prevents the electrical conductors 651 forming the conductor element in the conductor element receiving grooves 641 from emerging from the conductor element receiving grooves 641, is formed on an opening section of the respective conductor element receiving groove 641 opposite its base. That is, the retaining element 610 extends in such a way that it closes at least one section of an opening of the conductor element receiving groove 641 and partially or completely narrows or closes the opening of the conductor element receiving groove 641 in a longitudinal direction (partially in the present example).The retaining element 610 can be a section formed by thermally melting and deforming a protruding piece 610a in the same manner as described in the exemplary embodiment and the first modified example. Alternatively, the retaining element 610 can be a section formed together with the other sections, for example, during the primary forming of the door plastic component 630 by injection molding. In the latter case, the retaining element 610 is preferably elastically deformed to press the electrical conductors 651 into the conductor element receiving grooves 641. The present example describes the first case.
[0108] Each retaining piece 610 has a through-hole 610h. The through-hole 610h is a hole that extends from an outer surface of the retaining piece 610, through it, to an inner surface of the conductor element receiving groove 641. Even if the retaining piece 610 is formed by thermal melting and forming, the through-hole 610 can be formed in the retaining piece 610 by forming a through-hole in the original protruding section and thermally melting and forming the protruding section only to such an extent that the through-hole remains. Alternatively, it is also conceivable to form a protruding section for forming the through-hole 610h in a forming tool itself that performs the hot forming, thus forming the through-hole 610h simultaneously with the hot forming process.
[0109] In an initial state, where the electrical conductors 651 are held in the door plastic component 630, no electrical conductors 651 are held in the other conductor element receiving groove 642. The other conductor element receiving groove 642 is a reserve groove. If there is a problem with one of the electrical conductors 651 held in the conductor element receiving grooves 641, the conductor 651 in question can be released from the corresponding conductor element receiving groove 641 by, for example, inserting a tool 620, such as a slotted screwdriver, into the through-hole 610h described above and lifting the retaining piece 610 using the lever principle. This may result in the destruction of the retaining piece 610.In this case, the electrical conductor 651 can be inserted into the spare conductor element receiving groove 642, and a protruding section 610p can be thermally melted and deformed to hold the electrical conductor 651 in the spare conductor element receiving groove 642. The spare conductor element receiving groove 642 can also be used if a specification changes (if an additional electrical conductor is added to the specification).
[0110] In a seventh variation example, which is in Fig.As illustrated in Figure 15, the conductor element receiving grooves 741 are formed in a door plastic component 730, which corresponds to the door plastic component 30. Instead of forming a hot-formed section, electrical conductors 751, which are received in the conductor element receiving grooves 741, are fixed in the conductor element receiving grooves 741 using respective filler fixing sections 710. The filler fixing sections 710 are formed by solidifying a flowable material with which the conductor element receiving grooves 741, in which the electrical conductors 751 are received, are filled.A flowable material can be a material that transitions into a liquefied state under the influence of heat and assumes a solidified state upon cooling, such as a hot melt adhesive, an adhesive mixed from two liquids, a light-curing adhesive, a thermosetting adhesive or a moisture-curing adhesive.
[0111] According to the present example, the filling and fixing section 710 secures the electrical conductors 751 in the conductor element receiving grooves 741, thereby filling the conductor element receiving grooves 741. Thus, the electrical conductors 751 can be firmly fixed in the conductor element receiving grooves 741. The electrical conductors 751 therefore hardly vibrate in the conductor element receiving grooves 741, thus preventing the occurrence of abnormal noise.
[0112] The preceding embodiment illustrates that the door plastic component 30, which is installed in the opening 15 of the inner sheet metal 14, has grooves 41, 42, and 43 for receiving the cable element, and the cable element 50 is held therein. The cable element can also be installed in a different door plastic component. For example, it is also conceivable that cable element receiving grooves can be formed on the inner side of a plastic trim panel attached to the inner surface of the sheet metal 12 of the vehicle, and that a cable element is housed and held in these grooves. In this case, the metal sheet metal 12 itself serves as the example of the box-like component with an opening to which the plastic trim panel can be attached.
[0113] Based on the preceding embodiment and each of the variations, it has been described by way of example that the conductor element is held by the door's plastic component. However, it is only necessary that the element holding the conductor element be a built-in component installed within the box-like element to separate an inside and an outside of the box-like element. For example, a roof and the roof's inner component also form a box-like element, creating a flat space between them. It is therefore also conceivable that the conductor element receiving grooves are formed in the roof's inner component and that the conductor element is held in these grooves. Similarly, a battery box can represent a box-like component, and the built-in component can be a cover installed in an opening of the battery box.In this case, the conductor element can, for example, be held in the back (on the inside of the box) of the cover. Accordingly, there is an advantage that the conductor element can be routed using the space between the back of the cover and an object (a battery) inside the battery box.
[0114] Based on the preceding embodiment and each of the variations, it has been described by way of example that the plastic door component, which serves as the example for the installation component, is made of plastic. However, the installation component could also be a metal component, for example. It is conceivable, for instance, that a metal plate is used instead of the plastic door component and that the grooves for the conductor element are formed in the metal plate, for example, by pressing or cutting.
[0115] The preceding embodiment described how the conductor element comprises the electrical conductors. However, the conductor element can also be a ribbon-shaped conductor element comprising several linear conductors sheathed parallel to each other, such as a ribbon cable.
[0116] All embodiments described with reference to the exemplary embodiment and its variations can be suitably combined, provided they are not incompatible with each other. For example, the cover element 210 can also be used with the plastic door component 20 with integrated conductor element of the exemplary embodiment and the other variations.
[0117] Although the present invention has been described in detail, the foregoing description is nevertheless illustrative in all aspects and does not limit the invention. It is therefore understood that numerous modifications and variations can be devised without deviating from the scope of protection of the invention.
