Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a wire harness fastening component. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when installing electrical devices in a vehicle, a wire harness connecting the electrical devices may be arranged inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this case, it is common to arrange the wire harness in a position where it is not exposed, such as inside the trim that constitutes the interior of the passenger compartment. In this case, when arranging the wire harness, the trim is temporarily removed, the wire harness is arranged, and then the trim is attached to its original position. This makes it possible to arrange the wire harness inside the trim. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-151778 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When the wire harness is disposed inside the trim as described above, there is a risk that the wire harness may be pinched between the trim and an attachment location in the passenger compartment where the trim is attached. Therefore, in order to prevent the wire harness from being pinched as described above, it is conceivable to dispose the wire harness outside the trim. In this case, if no measures are taken regarding the installation of the wire harness, there is a risk that the wire harness may interfere with the passenger or surrounding parts.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a wire harness fixing part that is capable of suppressing interference with the wire harness while arranging the wire harness on the outer side of the trim. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The wire harness fixing part of the present disclosure is a wire harness fixing part that fixes a wire harness to a trim that constitutes the interior of a passenger compartment in a vehicle, and includes a wire harness holding portion that holds the wire harness by supporting it against the trim, and the wire harness holding portion has an attachment portion that is attached to the trim and a storage portion that stores the wire harness, and when the wire harness holding portion is attached to the trim by the attachment portion, the storage portion is located on the outer side of the trim. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the wire harness fixing component of the present disclosure, it is possible to suppress interference with the wire harness while disposing the wire harness on the outer side of the trim. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. The wire harness fixing component of the present disclosure includes: [1] A wire harness fixing part for fixing a wire harness to a trim constituting the interior of a passenger compartment in a vehicle, the wire harness fixing part having a wire harness holding part that holds the wire harness by supporting the trim, the wire harness holding part having an attachment part that is attached to the trim and a storage part that stores the wire harness, and when the wire harness holding part is attached to the trim by the attachment part, the storage part is located on the outer side of the trim.

[0010] According to this configuration, the housing of the wire harness holding part can be configured as a fixing point of the wire harness arranged outside the trim inside the passenger compartment. Therefore, the housing of the wire harness holding part can restrict the movement of the wire harness arranged outside the trim inside the passenger compartment. As a result, it is possible to suppress interference with the wire harness, such as an occupant or a peripheral part getting caught on the wire harness.

[0011] [2] In the above item [1], the trim may be plate-shaped, and the mounting portion may be configured to be attachable to an edge of the trim so as to slide along the edge. According to this configuration, the wire harness fixing part can be easily attached to the trim by attaching the mounting part of the wire harness holding part to the edge part of the trim so as to slide. Also, since the wire harness fixing part can be attached to the edge part of the trim, there is no need to provide a special structure, such as a fixing hole, in the trim for fixing the wire harness fixing part. Therefore, the wire harness fixing part can be attached to the trim without changing the design of the trim.

[0012] [3] In the above item [2], the mounting portion may have a pair of clamping portions that clamp the edge portion of the trim in a plate thickness direction. According to this configuration, the wire harness fixing component can be easily attached to the edge of the trim by simply clamping the edge of the trim with the pair of clamping portions.

[0013] [4] In the above item [3], at least one of the pair of clamping portions may have a flexible portion that is capable of bending in a direction in which the pair of clamping portions move away from each other. According to this configuration, by bending at least one of the pair of clamping parts in a direction away from each other by the flexible part, it becomes possible to assemble the pair of clamping parts to the edge part of the trim in a state where the trim is attached to the attachment part. Therefore, it becomes possible to fix the wire harness fixing part to the edge part of the trim without removing the trim. This makes it possible to improve the workability of arranging the wire harness.

[0014] [5] In the above [3] or [4], the trim is configured so that the edge portion faces a floor member forming the passenger compartment, the mounting portion has a connecting portion connecting the pair of clamping portions, and when the wire harness holding portion is attached to the edge portion of the trim, the connecting portion may be located between the edge portion of the trim and the floor member.

[0015] With this configuration, the connecting portion of the mounting part, which is part of the wire harness fixing component, fits between the edge of the trim and the floor member, making it possible to clamp the edge of the trim with a pair of clamping parts connected to each other via the connecting portion.

[0016] [6] In the above item [5], the connecting portion may have a positional deviation suppressing portion that suppresses positional deviation of the wire harness fixing part by engaging with the floor member. According to this configuration, the misalignment suppression portion that engages with the floor member can suppress misalignment of the wire harness fixing part. Even if the holding force of the pair of clamping portions against the edge of the trim is reduced, the engagement between the floor member and the misalignment suppression portion can suppress vibration of the wire harness fixing part that may be caused by vibration of the vehicle. As a result, it is possible to suppress the generation of abnormal noise caused by vibration of the wire harness fixing part.

[0017] [7] In the above [6], the position shift prevention portion may include a locking piece protruding from the connecting portion toward the floor member, and the locking piece may be configured to be hooked onto the floor member.

[0018] According to this configuration, the locking piece of the connecting portion is caught on the floor member, so that it is possible to suppress displacement of the wire harness fixing part and vibration of the wire harness fixing part.

[0019] [8] In any one of the above [1] to [7], the wire harness may have an electric wire and a protector surrounding an outer periphery of the electric wire, and the protector may be housed in the housing portion.

[0020] According to this configuration, the electric wires can be protected by the protector surrounding the outer periphery of the electric wires. Also, since the protector is accommodated in the accommodation portion of the wire harness fixing part, the wire harness including the protector can be stably held by the wire harness fixing part.

[0021] [9] In any of the above [1] to [8], the wire harness holding portion may be provided in a plurality of portions along the length of the wire harness, and the wire harness fixing part may include a flexible portion connecting the plurality of wire harness holding portions, and the flexible portion may have a more flexible characteristic than the wire harness holding portion.

[0022] According to this configuration, by bending the flexible portion connecting the wire harness holding portion, it is possible to deform the wire harness fixing part to match the shape of the trim. Also, by cutting the wire harness fixing part at the flexible portion, the length of the wire harness fixing part can be changed according to the size of the trim.

[0023]

[10] In the above [9], the plurality of wire harness holding portions may be provided at equal intervals from each other along a longitudinal direction of the wire harness. According to this configuration, the wire harness holding portions are provided at equal intervals along the length direction of the wire harness, so that it is possible to suitably adjust the length of the wire harness fixing part in accordance with the size of the trim.

[0024]

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

[10] , the length of the wire harness fixing part in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness may be set to a length covering the entire trim in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness.

[0025] According to this configuration, since the wire harness fixing part is attached to the entire trim, the wire harness can be stably held by the wire harness fixing part.

[0026] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wire harness fixing part of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, for convenience of explanation, some of the configurations may be exaggerated or simplified. In addition, the dimensional ratio of each part may differ in each drawing. In this specification, "orthogonal" does not only mean strictly orthogonal, but also includes roughly orthogonal within the scope of the action and effect of this embodiment. "Cylindrical" as used in the description of this specification includes not only those in which a peripheral wall is formed continuously around the entire circumference, but also those in which a plurality of parts are combined to form a cylindrical shape, and those having a notch or the like in a circumferential direction such as a C-shape. In addition, the shape of "cylindrical" includes a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon with a sharp or rounded corner. In addition, "facing" in this specification refers to surfaces or members being in front of each other, and includes not only the case where each is completely in front of the other, but also the case where each is partially in front of the other. In addition, in this specification, "facing" includes both the case where a member other than the two parts is interposed between the two parts and the case where nothing is interposed between the two parts. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," and the like in this specification are used simply to distinguish objects, and are not used to rank the objects. Note that the present invention is not limited to these examples, but is indicated by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0027] 1, a wire harness fixing part 10 of the present embodiment holds a portion of a length direction of a wire harness 13 arranged in a passenger compartment 12 of a vehicle 11. The wire harness 13 electrically connects a first electric device E1 and a second electric device E2, both of which are attached to the vehicle 11.

[0028] The first electric device E1 may be, for example, a sensor device such as an imaging device, etc. The first electric device E1 is provided at a position toward the rear of the passenger compartment 12 of the vehicle 11, such as a back door of the vehicle 11, for example.

[0029] The second electric device E2 may be, for example, an electronic control unit. The second electric device E2 is provided, for example, inside or outside the passenger compartment 12 at a position near the front of the passenger compartment 12. The passenger compartment 12 is a room in the vehicle 11 where passengers including the driver sit. A wire harness 13 connecting the first electric device E1 and the second electric device E2 is routed inside the passenger compartment 12.

[0030] (Configuration of wire harness 13) 2, 3, and 4, the wire harness 13 includes one or more electric wires 14 and a protector 15 that surrounds the outer periphery of the electric wires 14. The wire harness 13 of this embodiment includes, for example, four electric wires 14. The protector 15 is provided on the outer periphery of the electric wires 14 at a portion of the electric wires 14 in the longitudinal direction. The protector 15 protects the electric wires 14 that are routed in the passenger compartment 12.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 4, the protector 15 includes, for example, a first case 16 and a second case 17. The first case 16 and the second case 17 are, for example, separate from each other. The first case 16 and the second case 17 are, for example, made of synthetic resin. The protector 15 is formed into a tubular shape capable of accommodating each electric wire 14 by combining the first case 16 and the second case 17. Therefore, the first case 16 and the second case 17 can cover the entire outer circumference of the four electric wires 14. The cross-sectional shape of each of the first case 16 and the second case 17 is, for example, uniform in the length direction of the wire harness 13. The term "cross section" used in the description of this specification refers to a cross section when cut along a plane perpendicular to the length direction (X-axis direction) of the wire harness 13.

[0032] (Trim 20 configuration) For example, the protector 15 in the wire harness 13 is fixed by the wire harness fixing part 10 to a plate-shaped trim 20 constituting the interior of the passenger compartment 12. The trim 20 is provided in the passenger compartment 12, for example, near a foot pedal. The trim 20 has a surface 21 facing the outside S1 side of the trim 20, a back surface 22 facing the inside S2 side of the trim 20, and an edge portion 23 facing the floor member F. The outside S1 of the trim 20 is a space in which passengers sit. The back surface 22 of the trim 20 faces a trim mounting location of a vehicle body (not shown) to which the trim 20 is attached. In other words, the inside S2 of the trim 20 is a space between the trim 20 and the trim mounting location.

[0033] The floor member F forms the floor surface of the passenger compartment 12. The floor member F is, for example, a floor carpet or a silencer made of nonwoven fabric. When the trim 20 is attached to the trim attachment location, the edge 23 of the trim 20 faces the surface of the floor member F. In the drawings, the edge 23 of the trim 20 is formed in a straight line, but this is not limited to this shape, and the edge 23 may be curved.

[0034] (Configuration of wire harness fixing part 10) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the wire harness fixing part 10 includes a plurality of wire harness holding parts 30 and a flexible part 50 connecting the plurality of wire harness holding parts 30. The plurality of wire harness holding parts 30 are provided, for example, at equal intervals along the length direction of the wire harness 13. The flexible part 50 connects the wire harness holding parts 30 adjacent to each other in the length direction of the wire harness 13. When the wire harness fixing part 10 includes three or more wire harness holding parts 30, a plurality of flexible parts 50 are provided corresponding to each space between the adjacent wire harness holding parts 30. When the plurality of wire harness holding parts 30 are provided at equal intervals along the length direction of the wire harness, the plurality of flexible parts 50 are also provided at equal intervals along the length direction of the wire harness. The wire harness fixing part 10 is, for example, an integrally molded product including the wire harness holding part 30 and the flexible part 50. The entire wire harness fixing part 10, including the wire harness holding portion 30 and the flexible portion 50, is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin.

[0035] In the drawings, an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis, which are mutually orthogonal, are illustrated. When describing the positional relationship of each component of the wire harness fixing part 10, one direction in the X-axis direction along the X-axis is referred to as a first direction X1, and the opposite direction of the first direction X1 is referred to as a first opposite direction X2. In addition, the direction toward the right in FIG. 2 in the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction is referred to as a second direction Y1, and the opposite direction of the second direction Y1 is referred to as a second opposite direction Y2. In addition, the direction toward the upper side in FIG. 2 in the Z-axis direction perpendicular to both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is referred to as a third direction Z1, and the opposite direction of the third direction Z1 is referred to as a third opposite direction Z2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the edge 23 of the trim 20 has a straight line extending along, for example, the X-axis direction. The wire harness fixing part 10 holds the wire harness 13 such that the length direction of the wire harness 13 is along the X-axis direction. That is, the wire harness 13 is held along the edge 23 of the trim 20.

[0037] (Configuration of the wire harness holding portion 30) 4, each wire harness holding portion 30 of the wire harness fastening part 10 holds the wire harness 13 by supporting it against the trim 20. Each wire harness holding portion 30 has an attachment portion 31 attached to the trim 20, and a storage portion 32 that stores the wire harness 13. In a state in which the wire harness holding portion 30 is attached to the trim 20 by the attachment portion 31, the storage portion 32 is located on the exterior S1 side of the trim 20. The cross-sectional shape of the wire harness holding portion 30 is uniform throughout the wire harness holding portion 30 in the X-axis direction, for example.

[0038] (Configuration of mounting portion 31) The mounting portion 31 of the wire harness holding portion 30 is configured to be attachable to the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 by sliding it in the X-axis direction along the edge portion 23, for example. The mounting portion 31 has, for example, a first clamping portion 41, a second clamping portion 42, and a connecting portion 43 connecting the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42. The first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42 cooperate with each other to clamp the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 in the plate thickness direction.

[0039] The connecting portion 43 has a first wall portion 44, a second wall portion 45, and a third wall portion 46. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion 43 is uniform, for example, over the entire X-axis direction of the wire harness holding portion 30. The first wall portion 44 is, for example, in the shape of a flat plate perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. The first wall portion 44 forms, for example, the bottom of the wire harness holding portion 30. A part of the first wall portion 44 in the Y-axis direction is located between the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 and the floor member F. That is, the first wall portion 44 of the connecting portion 43 is inserted between the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 and the floor member F.

[0040] The first clamping portion 41 extends from the upper surface of the first wall portion 44, for example, in an obliquely upward direction between the second opposite direction Y2 and the third direction Z1. The upper surface of the first wall portion 44 is a surface facing the third opposite direction Z1. The lower surface of the first wall portion 44 is a surface facing the third opposite direction Z2. The descriptions of "upper surface" and "lower surface" do not necessarily mean that the wire harness fastening part 10 is used so that the upper surface of the first wall portion 44 faces upward.

[0041] The second wall portion 45 of the connecting portion 43 extends in the third direction Z1 from an upper surface of the first wall portion 44. The second wall portion 45 has a flat plate shape perpendicular to the Y-axis direction. The third wall portion 46 of the connecting portion 43 extends in the second direction Y1 from a tip end of the second wall portion 45 in the third direction Z1. The third wall portion 46 has a flat plate shape perpendicular to the Z-axis direction.

[0042] The second clamping portion 42 of the mounting portion 31 extends, for example, from a tip end of the third wall portion 46 in the second direction Y1 in the third opposite direction Z2. The second clamping portion 42 cooperates, for example, with a tip end of the first clamping portion 41 in the third direction Z1 to clamp the edge portion 23 of the trim 20. The first clamping portion 41 is capable of bending, for example, with a base end portion connected to the first wall portion 44 as a fulcrum such that the tip end in the third direction Z1 is displaced in the Y-axis direction.

[0043] The side surface of the second clamping portion 42 facing the second direction Y1 faces the surface 21 of the trim 20. For example, an inclined surface 42a inclined along the surface 21 of the trim 20 having a curved shape is formed on the side surface of the second clamping portion 42. The inclined surface 42a is inclined, for example, in both the third direction Z1 and the second direction Y1. Since the inclined surface 42a inclines along the curved shape of the trim 20, it is possible to increase the contact area between the second clamping portion 42 and the trim 20. As a result, it is possible for the second clamping portion 42 to hold the trim 20 in an appropriate manner.

[0044] The cross-sectional shape of the entire mounting portion 31 including the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42 is uniform, for example, throughout the X-axis direction of the wire harness holding portion 30. Therefore, the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 can be inserted along the X-axis direction from the end portion of the mounting portion 31 in the X-axis direction between the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42. Thus, the mounting portion 31 can be attached by sliding it along the edge portion 23 of the trim 20.

[0045] (Configuration of storage section 32) As shown in FIG. 4, the accommodation section 32 in the wire harness holding section 30 is formed by, for example, a connecting section 43 and a second clamping section 42. More specifically, the accommodation section 32 is formed as an internal space of the wire harness holding section 30 substantially surrounded by a first wall section 44, a second wall section 45, a third wall section 46, and the second clamping section 42. The protector 15 is disposed between the first wall section 44 and the third wall section 46 in the Z-axis direction. Also, the protector 15 is disposed such that a part of the protector 15 is located between the second wall section 45 and the second clamping section 42 in the X-axis direction. The accommodation section 32 is formed, for example, over the entire wire harness holding section 30 in the X-axis direction. The cross-sectional shape of the accommodation section 32 is, for example, uniform over the entire wire harness holding section 30 in the X-axis direction. In each accommodation section 32 in the wire harness holding section 30, the protector 15 of the wire harness 13 is accommodated along the X-axis direction.

[0046] (Configuration of flexible portion 50) As shown in FIG. 3, each flexible portion 50 in the wire harness fixing part 10 has a flat plate shape in which the first wall portion 44 in the wire harness holding portion 30 is extended in the X-axis direction. That is, the thickness of the flexible portion 50 in the Z-axis direction is equivalent to the thickness of the first wall portion 44 in the Z-axis direction. Also, the width of the flexible portion 50 in the Y-axis direction is equivalent to the width of the first wall portion 44 in the Y-axis direction. The cross-sectional area of ​​the transverse section of the flexible portion 50 is smaller than that of the wire harness holding portion 30. This makes the flexible portion 50 more flexible than the wire harness holding portion 30. That is, the flexible portion 50 is more easily bent than the wire harness holding portion 30.

[0047] (Configuration of position shift suppression unit 60) The connecting portion 43 has a displacement suppression portion 60 on the lower surface facing the floor member F in the connecting portion 43. More specifically, the connecting portion 43 and each flexible portion 50 of each wire harness holding portion 30 form a strip-shaped bottom portion 10a that extends continuously in the X-axis direction in the wire harness fixing component 10. The displacement suppression portion 60 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom portion 10a of the wire harness fixing component 10 formed by each connecting portion 43 and each flexible portion 50. The displacement suppression portion 60 is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom portion 10a of the wire harness fixing component 10 by, for example, adhesion or double-sided tape. As the displacement suppression portion 60, a hook-and-loop fastener, double-sided tape, or the like that can be attached to the surface of the floor member F can be used. By attaching the displacement suppression portion 60 to the surface of the floor member F, the displacement of the wire harness fixing component 10 relative to the floor member F is suppressed.

[0048] Next, an assembly mode of the wire harness 13 and the wire harness fastening part 10 will be described together with the operation of this embodiment. When the first electric device E1 is attached to the vehicle 11, the wire harness 13 extending from the first electric device E1 is disposed in the passenger compartment 12 using the wire harness fixing part 10.

[0049] First, for example, the electric wires 14 and the protector 15 in the wire harness 13 are accommodated in the accommodation portion 32 of the wire harness fixing part 10. At this time, for example, the wire harness 13 including the electric wires 14 and the protector 15 may be passed into the accommodation portion 32 from an opening formed at an end of the accommodation portion 32 in the X-axis direction.

[0050] Next, the wire harness fixing part 10 with the wire harness 13 accommodated in the accommodation portion 32 is attached to the edge portion 23 of the trim 20. Here, the wire harness fixing part 10 is first assembled from the end portion 20a (see FIG. 2) of the trim 20 in the X-axis direction. After the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 is inserted between the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42 of the mounting portion 31 at the end portion 20a of the trim 20, the entire wire harness fixing part 10 is slid in a direction along the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 (in the X-axis direction in this embodiment). As a result, the wire harness fixing part 10 is assembled to the edge portion 23 of the trim 20. In this state, the wire harness 13 accommodated in the accommodation portion 32 of the wire harness fixing part 10 is arranged along the edge portion 23 of the trim 20. Moreover, in a state where the wire harness fixing part 10 is attached to the edge part 23 of the trim 20, the accommodating part 32 and the wire harness 13 are located on the exterior S1 side of the trim 20. In assembling the wire harness fixing part 10 of this embodiment, only a necessary part of the trim 20 may be removed to expose the end part 20a of the trim 20. In addition, if the end part 20a is exposed without removing a part of the trim 20, the wire harness fixing part 10 can be assembled without removing the trim 20.

[0051] In this embodiment, the length of the wire harness fixing part 10 in the length direction of the wire harness 13 (in this embodiment, in the X-axis direction) is set to, for example, the length La across the entire trim 20 in the X-axis direction. As shown in FIG. 5, when the length of the wire harness fixing part 10 in the X-axis direction is longer than the length La of the trim 20, the wire harness fixing part 10 can be cut at the flexible part 50. For example, when the length La of the trim 20 corresponds to the length of four wire harness holding parts 30, the flexible part 50 at the position P1 shown in FIG. 5 can be cut to cut the wire harness fixing part 10 having a length equivalent to the length La of the trim 20. In the wire harness fixing part 10 of this embodiment, since the multiple wire harness holding parts 30 are provided at equal intervals in the X-axis direction, the flexible parts 50 are also provided at equal intervals in the X-axis direction. As a result, the length of the wire harness fixing part 10 can be easily adjusted by cutting the flexible part 50 at a position corresponding to the length La of the trim 20. Furthermore, since the cross-sectional area of ​​the flexible portion 50 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the wire harness holding portion 30, the flexible portion 50 is more flexible than the wire harness holding portion 30, and therefore the flexible portion 50 can be cut relatively easily.

[0052] The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The wire harness fixing part 10 includes a wire harness holding part 30 that holds the wire harness 13 by supporting it on the trim 20. When the wire harness holding part 30 is attached to the trim 20 by the attachment part 31, the housing part 32 that houses the wire harness 13 is located on the exterior S1 side of the trim 20. This configuration makes it possible to configure the housing part 32 of the wire harness holding part 30 as a fixing point for the wire harness 13 that is disposed on the exterior S1 of the trim 20 in the passenger compartment 12. Therefore, the movement of the wire harness 13 that is disposed on the exterior S1 of the trim 20 in the passenger compartment 12 can be restricted by the wire harness holding part 30. As a result, it becomes possible to suppress interference with the wire harness 13, such as an occupant or a peripheral part getting caught on the wire harness 13.

[0053] (2) The mounting portion 31 is configured to be attachable to the edge portion 23 of the plate-shaped trim 20 so as to slide along the edge portion 23. According to this configuration, the mounting portion 31 of the wire harness holding portion 30 is attached to the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 so as to slide, so that the wire harness fixing part 10 can be easily attached to the trim 20. In addition, since the wire harness fixing part 10 can be attached to the edge portion 23 of the trim 20, it is not necessary to separately provide the trim 20 with a special structure for fixing the wire harness fixing part 10, such as a fixing hole. Therefore, the wire harness fixing part 10 can be attached to the trim 20 without changing the design of the trim 20.

[0054] (3) The mounting portion 31 has a first clamping portion 41 and a second clamping portion 42 that clamp the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 in the plate thickness direction. According to this configuration, the wire harness fixing part 10 can be easily attached to the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 simply by clamping the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 with the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42.

[0055] (4) The trim 20 is configured such that the edge portion 23 faces the floor member F that forms the passenger compartment 12. The mounting portion 31 of the wire harness holding portion 30 has a connecting portion 43 that connects the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42. When the wire harness holding portion 30 is attached to the edge portion 23 of the trim 20, the connecting portion 43 is located between the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 and the floor member F. According to this configuration, the connecting portion 43 of the mounting portion 31 enters between the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 and the floor member F, making it possible to clamp the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 with the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42 that are connected to each other by the connecting portion 43.

[0056] (5) The connecting portion 43 has a displacement suppression portion 60 that suppresses displacement of the wire harness fixing part 10 by engaging with the floor member F. According to this configuration, the displacement suppression portion 60 that engages with the floor member F can suppress displacement of the wire harness fixing part 10. Even if the holding force of the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42 with respect to the edge portion 23 of the trim 20 decreases, the engagement between the floor member F and the displacement suppression portion 60 can suppress vibration of the wire harness fixing part 10 that may be caused by vibration of the vehicle 11. As a result, it is possible to suppress the generation of abnormal noise caused by vibration of the wire harness fixing part 10.

[0057] (6) The wire harness 13 has the electric wires 14 and the protector 15 surrounding the outer periphery of the electric wires 14. The protector 15 is accommodated in the accommodation portion 32 of the wire harness holding part 30. According to this configuration, it is possible to protect the electric wires 14 by the protector 15 surrounding the outer periphery of the electric wires 14. In addition, by accommodating the protector 15 in the accommodation portion 32 of the wire harness fixing part 10, it is possible to stably hold the wire harness 13 including the protector 15 by the wire harness fixing part 10.

[0058] (7) A plurality of wire harness holding portions 30 are provided along the length direction of the wire harness 13. The wire harness fixing part 10 includes a flexible portion 50 that connects the plurality of wire harness holding portions 30. The flexible portion 50 has a property superior in flexibility to the wire harness holding portions 30. According to this configuration, by bending the flexible portion 50 that connects the wire harness holding portions 30, it is possible to deform the wire harness fixing part 10 to match the shape of the trim 20. In addition, by cutting the wire harness fixing part 10 at the flexible portion 50, the length of the wire harness fixing part 10 can be changed according to the size of the trim 20.

[0059] (8) The multiple wire harness holding portions 30 are provided at equal intervals along the length direction of the wire harness 13. This makes it possible to suitably adjust the length of the wire harness fastening part 10 in accordance with the size of the trim 20.

[0060] (9) The length of the wire harness fixing part 10 in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness 13 is set to the length of the entire trim 20 in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness 13. According to this configuration, the wire harness fixing part 10 is attached to the entire trim 20, so that the wire harness 13 can be stably held by the wire harness fixing part 10.

[0061] (Other embodiments) The above embodiment can be modified as follows: The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that no technical contradiction occurs.

[0062] The length of the wire harness fixing part 10 in the X-axis direction may be set shorter than the length La of the trim 20 in the X-axis direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, by cutting the flexible part 50 at the position P2 (see FIG. 5) in the wire harness fixing part 10, the length of the wire harness fixing part 10 in the X-axis direction can be set shorter than the length La of the trim 20 in the X-axis direction. This makes it possible to configure the wire harness fixing part 10 to be partially provided on the trim 20 in the X-axis direction. With this configuration, even if the wire harness fixing part 10 cannot be provided on the entire trim 20 in the X-axis direction due to the layout of the passenger compartment 12 or the like, it is possible to fix the wire harness 13 to the trim 20 by the wire harness fixing part 10. The wire harness fixing part 10 may be configured to have only one wire harness holding part 30.

[0063] In the wire harness fixing part 10 of the above embodiment, at least one of the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 may have a flexible part that can bend in a direction in which the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 move away from each other. For example, in the configuration shown in FIG. 6, the first clamping part 41 has a flexible part 70. The flexible part 70 is provided in a curved part 71 from the tip of the first wall part 44 of the connecting part 43 in the second direction Y1 to the first clamping part 41. The curved part 71 extends from the tip of the first wall part 44 in the second direction Y1 while curving in an obliquely upward direction between the second direction Y1 and the third direction Z1. A part of the first clamping part 41 from the curved part 71 to the tip (hereinafter referred to as the first clamping part main body 41a) extends from the curved part 71 in an obliquely upward direction between the second opposite direction Y2 and the third direction Z1. The thickness of the flexible portion 70 is formed to be thinner than, for example, each of the thickness of the first clamping portion body 41a and the thickness of the first wall portion 44. This makes the flexible portion 70 more flexible than the first clamping portion body 41a and the first wall portion 44.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 7, when the wire harness holding part 30 is attached to the edge part 23 of the trim 20, the first clamping part 41 can be elastically deformed in a direction away from the second clamping part 42 due to the bending of the flexible part 70. This makes it possible to easily insert the first clamping part 41 between the edge part 23 of the trim 20 and the floor member F. Since the first clamping part 41 can be inserted between the edge part 23 of the trim 20 and the floor member F, it becomes possible to assemble the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 to the edge part 23 of the trim 20 attached to the attachment location. Therefore, it becomes possible to fix the wire harness fixing part 10 to the edge part 23 of the trim 20 without removing the trim 20. This makes it possible to improve the ease of arrangement of the wire harness 13.

[0065] In the configuration shown in Figure 6, the flexible portion 70 is provided only in the first clamping portion 41 of the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42, but this is not limited to the above, and a flexible portion may be provided in both the first clamping portion 41 and the second clamping portion 42, or only in the second clamping portion 42.

[0066] In the configuration shown in FIG. 6, the connecting portion 43 of the wire harness fixing part 10 has a locking piece 72 as a position shift suppressing part that suppresses position shift of the wire harness fixing part 10 by engaging with the floor member F. The locking piece 72 protrudes, for example, from the lower surface of the first wall portion 44 of the connecting portion 43 in an obliquely downward direction toward the floor member F. More specifically, the locking piece 72 protrudes from the lower surface of the first wall portion 44 in an obliquely downward direction between the second opposite direction Y2 and the third opposite direction Z2. For example, a plurality of locking pieces 72 are provided. Also, the locking piece 72 is provided, for example, over the entire first wall portion 44 in the X-axis direction.

[0067] The tip of each locking piece 72 can be hooked onto the floor member F in the surface direction of the floor member F (here, the Y-axis direction). By hooking each locking piece 72 onto the floor member F, it is possible to suppress misalignment of the wire harness fixing part 10 in the Y-axis direction and vibration of the wire harness fixing part 10. As a result, it is possible to suppress the generation of abnormal noise caused by vibration of the wire harness fixing part 10.

[0068] In the wire harness fixing part 10 of the above embodiment, the multiple wire harness holding portions 30 may be provided at unequal intervals from one another along the length direction of the wire harness 13. Also, the multiple flexible portions 50 may be provided at unequal intervals from one another along the length direction of the wire harness 13.

[0069] In the wire harness fixing part 10 of the above embodiment, the flexible part 50 may be omitted. The entire wire harness fixing part 10 in the X-axis direction may be formed by the wire harness holding part 30.

[0070] In the wire harness fixing part 10 of the above embodiment, the displacement prevention portion 60 may be omitted. Also, in the configuration shown in Fig. 6, the locking pieces 72 serving as the displacement prevention portion may be omitted.

[0071] In the wire harness fastening part 10 of the above embodiment, the wire harness holding portion 30 may be cut to adjust the length of the wire harness fastening part 10 in the X-axis direction.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the wire harness 13 may be assembled into the receiving portion 32 of the wire harness fastening part 10 after the wire harness fastening part 10 is attached to the trim 20 . The wire harness fixing part 10 in the above embodiment is attached to the edge 23 of the trim 20 facing the floor member F, but this is not particularly limited, and the wire harness fixing part 10 may be attached to an edge of the trim 20 that does not face the floor member F.

[0073] The configuration of the wire harness 13 is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be appropriately changed according to the configuration of the vehicle 11. For example, the protector 15 may be omitted from the wire harness 13 in the above embodiment. Furthermore, the number of electric wires 14 included in the wire harness 13 may be one to three, or five or more.

[0074] The first electric device E1 in the above embodiment may be, for example, an imaging device that is provided in the passenger compartment 12 near the driver's seat and captures images of the inside of the passenger compartment 12. The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects, and the present invention is not limited to these examples. That is, the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, and it is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
