DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. In addition, the components in the following embodiments include those that are replaceable and easy for a person skilled in the art, or those that are substantially the same.

[0011] For ease of explanation, FIGS. 2 to 6 only show the housing 1 to which the fixing structure 100 is applied.

[0012] [Embodiment] The wire harness WH shown in Figure 1 is, for example, a composite component made by bundling together multiple wiring materials W used for power supply and signal communication to connect various devices installed in a vehicle, and connecting the multiple wiring materials W to each device using connectors or the like.

[0013] The wire harness WH includes a conductive wiring material W, a housing 1, and a fixing structure 100 provided in the housing 1.

[0014] The wiring material W is, for example, an insulated electric wire in which a core wire formed by bundling a plurality of conductive metal wires is covered with an insulating covering portion. Note that the wiring material W may be a bundle of a plurality of insulated electric wires.

[0015] The housing 1 is formed of an insulating resin material or the like, and is provided on a wiring material W that constitutes a wire harness WH. The housing 1 of this embodiment is a connector holder, and holds a connector C to which a wiring material W is connected by storing the connector C therein.

[0016] The fixing structure 100 is provided on a wall (a side wall 10KB of a base member 10 described later) of the housing 1. The fixing structure 100 of this embodiment is used to fix the housing 1, which is a fixing object M, to a predetermined fixing target portion P (see FIG. 5).

[0017] In the wire harness WH of this embodiment, the fixing structure 100 is composed of a fixing part 110 that fixes the object M to be fixed to the part P to be fixed, and an auxiliary part 120 that suppresses rattling with respect to the part P to be fixed. In the wire harness WH, the rib 122 constituting the auxiliary part 120 is formed in a V-shape, and a tip 122Bb of the rib 122 is stored inside a recess 12h provided in a support part 121 that supports the rib 122 in a cantilevered manner, thereby realizing a configuration that can suppress a component member such as a wiring material W from getting caught on the rib 122. Hereinafter, each component of the wire harness WH will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 1 to 6.

[0018] The fixing target part P here is, for example, an instrument panel, which is an L-shaped panel on which meters are mounted (see FIG. 5).

[0019] In addition, the wire harness WH may further include a protector, an exterior material, a fastener, and the like.

[0020] In the following description, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect with each other, and the first direction is referred to as the "length direction X", the second direction is referred to as the "width direction Y", and the third direction is referred to as the "height direction Z". The length direction X, the width direction Y, and the height direction Z are mutually perpendicular. The length direction X typically corresponds to the fitting direction of the fixing part 110 with respect to the fixing target part P. The height direction Z corresponds to the contact direction of the rib 122 with respect to the fixing target part P. Unless otherwise specified, each direction used in the following description will be described as a direction in a state in which each part of the wire harness WH is assembled.

[0021] [Case] The housing 1 includes a base member 10 that houses a connector C therein, a cover member 20 that is attached to the base member 10, and a lock mechanism 30, as shown in FIG.

[0022] 1 to 4, the base member 10 is a member constituted by a base wall portion 10K. The base member 10 of this embodiment is constituted by a bottom wall portion 10KA and a plurality of side wall portions 10KB as the base wall portion 10K, and each wall portion is integrally formed to form a hollow box shape as a whole. The base member 10 is constituted by a storage space portion 10S as an internal space, and an opening portion 11 that opens in the height direction Z.

[0023] The bottom wall 10KA here is a wall extending along the length direction X and width direction Y, with the height direction Z being the plate thickness direction. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the bottom wall 10KA is disposed at an interval from the opening 11 along the height direction Z, and is positioned opposite the opening 11. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the side wall 10KB is provided in four portions, and is composed of a pair of walls (hereinafter referred to as side wall 10KBa) extending along the length direction X and height direction Z, with the width direction Y being the plate thickness direction, and a pair of walls (hereinafter referred to as side wall 10KBb) extending along the width direction Y and height direction Z, with the length direction X being the plate thickness direction. Each side wall 10KBa (or each side wall 10KBb) is disposed at an interval along the width direction Y (or length direction X), and is positioned opposite each other.

[0024] The storage space 10S is a portion defined and formed by the bottom wall 10KA and the four side wall portions 10KB. The base member 10 of this embodiment is provided with a frame portion 10f that is defined in a plurality of portions in the length direction X and the width direction Y and penetrates in the height direction Z, and the connector C is detachably attached to the portion defined by the frame portion 10f.

[0025] The opening 11 is a portion defined and formed by the side wall portions 10KB. As shown in Fig. 1, the opening 11 in this embodiment is formed by the ends of the side wall portions 10KB and opens along the height direction Z.

[0026] 1 to 3, the cover member 20 is a member constituted by a cover wall portion 20K. The cover member 20 of this embodiment is constituted by including a lid wall portion 20KA as the cover wall portion 20K. The cover member 20 is rotatably supported with respect to the side wall portion 10KBa of the base member 10 via a hinge (not shown) extending along the length direction X, and is held in a position where it partially covers the opening portion 11 of the base member 10 by being assembled via a lock mechanism 30.

[0027] 1 and 2, the locking mechanism 30 is a locking portion provided on the base member 10 and the cover member 20. The locking mechanism 30 of this embodiment includes a locking protrusion 31 provided on the side wall 10KBa of the base member 10, and a locking frame portion 32 provided on the lid wall portion 20KA of the cover member 20 to correspond to the locking protrusion 31. Two locking mechanisms 30 are provided on the opposite side of the above-mentioned hinge (not shown), and the locking mechanisms 30 are arranged at intervals along the length direction X. Therefore, the cover member 20 of this embodiment is assembled to the base member 10 by fitting the claw-shaped protrusion portion of the locking protrusion 31 into the frame portion of the locking frame portion 32.

[0028] [Fixed structure] The fixing structure 100 includes a fixing portion 110 that fixes the housing 1 to a target portion P to which the housing 1 is to be fixed, and an auxiliary portion 120 that contacts the target portion P to suppress rattling relative to the target portion P to which the housing 1 is to be fixed.

[0029] The fixing portion 110 is an anchor clip provided on the base member 10. As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the fixing portion 110 of this embodiment includes a shaft portion 111 provided on the side wall portion 10KBb of the base member 10, and a pair of flexible arm portions 112 provided on the shaft portion 111.

[0030] The shaft portion 111 is a support portion of the anchor clip, and is a portion that supports in a cantilever manner the pair of flexible arm portions 112. The shaft portion 111 in this embodiment is formed in a columnar shape and is formed along the longitudinal direction X that intersects with the side wall portion 10KBb.

[0031] The flexible arm portions 112 are the arms of the anchor clip and are engaged with the target portion P. In this embodiment, the flexible arm portions 112 are configured with one end as a fixed end fixed to the shaft portion 111 and the other end as a free end, and are configured to be elastically deformable. Therefore, the fixing portion 110 in this embodiment is inserted into a mounting hole Ph (see FIG. 6) formed in the target portion P by bending the pair of flexible arm portions 112. Then, the fixing portion 110 is fixed to the target portion P by the pair of flexible arm portions 112 returning to their original shape after coming out of the mounting hole Ph.

[0032] 1 and 3, two fixed parts 110 are provided, and each fixed part 110 is disposed at an interval along the length direction X. Of the two fixed parts 110, the flexible arm part 112 of one fixed part 110 (the fixed part 110 located on the lower side in FIG. 3) is formed so as to expand along the width direction Y from one end side to the other end side. Moreover, the flexible arm part 112 of the other fixed part 110 (the fixed part 110 located on the upper side in FIG. 3) is formed so as to expand along the height direction Z from one end side to the other end side.

[0033] The auxiliary portion 120 includes a support portion 121 provided on the side wall portion 10KBb of the base member 10, and a rib 122 provided on the support portion 121, as shown in FIGS.

[0034] The support portion 121 is a portion that supports the rib 122 in a cantilever manner. As shown in Fig. 1, the support portion 121 in this embodiment is composed of a pair of first support walls 121A formed to protrude from the side wall portion 10KBb in the length direction X, and a second support wall portion 121B extending in the width direction Y and the height direction Z, positioned opposite the side wall portion 10KBb, and connecting the first support walls 121A to each other.

[0035] 1, 3, and 4, the support portion 121 has a recess 121h. The recess 121h in this embodiment is surrounded by the side wall portion 10KBb of the base member 10, the pair of first support wall portions 121A, and the second support wall portion 121B, and is configured as a through hole penetrating along the height direction Z. Therefore, the support portion 121 in this embodiment is formed in a substantially rectangular frame shape, as shown in FIGS.

[0036] The rib 122 is a stabilizing plate (stabilizer) that absorbs the amount of wobble of the fixing part 110 by abutting against the fixing target part P when the rib 122 is fixed to the fixing target part P via the fixing part 110.

[0037] 4, the rib 122 of this embodiment is supported by the second support wall 121B of the support portion 121, and is formed from the second support wall 121B toward the side wall 10KBb. The rib 122 is supported by the second support wall 121B of the support portion 121, and is composed of a first section 122A formed to protrude toward the outside (the fixing target site P side), and a second section 122B formed to protrude from a tip 122Ab of the first section 122A and bent toward the inside (the support portion 121 side). The tip 122Ab (base end 122Ba of the second section 122B) side of the first section 122A is formed to protrude in the height direction Z.

[0038] Therefore, in this embodiment, the rib 122 is formed in a V-shape, and the tip 122Ab of the first section 122A (the base end 122Ba of the second section 122B) side is formed to protrude in the height direction Z. In addition, the rib 122 has a corner portion 122C formed between the tip 122Ab of the first section 122A and the base end 122Ba of the second section 122B. In addition, the base end 122Aa of the first section 122A is configured as a fixed end fixed to the second support wall portion 121B of the support portion 121, and the tip 122Bb of the second section 122B is configured as a free end, so that the rib 122 is elastically deformable. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the tip of the rib 122 (the tip 122Bb of the second section 122B) is stored inside the recess 121h formed in the support portion 121 in a natural state in which no external force is applied.

[0039] Next, a method for fixing the wire harness WH will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0040] 5, the fixing target part P in this embodiment is an L-shaped panel, and is composed of a first part P1 extending along the width direction Y and the height direction Z, with the length direction X being the plate thickness direction, and a second part P2 extending along the length direction X and the width direction Y, with the height direction Z being the plate thickness direction. Furthermore, two mounting holes Ph are provided in the first part P1 of the fixing target part P, and each fixing part 110 is disposed at an interval along the width direction Y. The positions of the two mounting holes Ph are set to match the positions of the two fixing parts 110 provided in the housing 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fitting direction of the fixing part 110 with respect to the part to be fixed P is the length direction X which is the plate thickness direction of the first part P1 of the part to be fixed P (the opening direction of the mounting hole Ph formed in the first part P1). In addition, the contact direction of the rib 122 with respect to the part to be fixed P is the height direction Z which is the plate thickness direction of the second part P2 of the part to be fixed P. Therefore, in this embodiment, the fitting direction of the fixing part 110 with respect to the part to be fixed P and the contact direction of the rib 122 with respect to the part to be fixed P intersect with each other.

[0042] When an operator fixes the housing 1 to a target part P via the fixing part 110, the shaft part 111 of the fixing part 110 is inserted along the length direction X into a mounting hole Ph formed in a first part P1 of the target part P. When the pair of flexible arms 112 supported by the shaft part 111 in a cantilevered manner are inserted into the mounting hole Ph, they are compressed to match the size of the mounting hole Ph. When the pair of flexible arms 112 are removed from the mounting holes Ph and return to their original shape, the fixing part 110 fixes the housing 1 to the target part P by having the tips of the flexible arms 112 come into contact with and get caught on the edges of the mounting holes Ph, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6 .

[0043] 5 and 6, when the housing 1 is fixed to the target part P via the fixing part 110, the corner 122C of the rib 122 comes into contact with the second part P2 of the target part P. When an external force is applied to the corner 122C from the outside (the target part P side) to the inside (the support part 121 side), the rib 122 bends generally toward the inside (the support part 121 side), and the tip (the tip 122Bb of the second section 122) enters further into the recess 121h formed in the support part 121, thereby absorbing the amount of wobble of the fixing part 110 relative to the target part P.

[0044] The wire harness WH described above includes a conductive wiring material W, a housing 1 as a fixing target M provided on the wiring material W, and a fixing structure 100 provided on the housing 1. The fixing structure 100 includes a fixing portion 110 provided on the housing 1 and capable of fixing the housing 1 to a fixing target portion P, a support portion 121 provided on the housing 1, and an auxiliary portion 120 that is supported in a cantilever manner by the support portion 121 and includes a rib 122 that abuts against the fixing target portion P in a state in which the housing 1 is fixed to the fixing target portion P via the fixing portion 110. In addition, the rib 122 is supported by the support portion 121 and is composed of a first section 122A that is formed to protrude from the housing 1 side toward the fixed target portion P side, and a second section 122B that is formed to protrude from a tip 122Ab of the first section 122A and is bent toward the housing 1 side, and the support portion 121 has a recess 121h that houses the tip 122Bb of the second section 122B of the rib 122 inside.

[0045] When the fixing structure 100 of this embodiment is fixed to the fixing target part P via the fixing part 110, the rib 122 is brought into contact with the fixing target part P, so that the fixing structure 100 can function as a stabilizing plate (stabilizer) and can suppress rattling with respect to the fixing target part P. In such a configuration, the fixing structure 100 has the rib 122 constituting the auxiliary part 120 formed in a V-shape, and the tip 122Bb side is bent toward the housing 1 side, so that the tip 122Bb of the rib 122 can be stored inside the recess 121h of the support part 121. In addition, when the rib 122 is brought into contact with the fixing target part P, an external force is applied from the outside (the fixing target part P side) to the inside (the housing 1 side), and the rib 122 is bent overall toward the inside (the housing 1 side), so that the tip 122Bb of the rib 122 can be inserted inside the recess 121h of the support part 121. Therefore, the wire harness WH to which the fixing structure 100 is applied can suppress the occurrence of a gap between the support portion 121 provided on the housing 1, which is the fixing target M, and the rib 122 extending from the support portion 121. When the wire harness WH fixes the housing 1 to the fixing target portion P via the fixing portion 110, the wiring material W and other components are prevented from being caught on the rib 122, thereby suppressing the deformation of the rib 122 in an unintended direction. Therefore, the wire harness WH can abut the rib 122 against the fixing target portion P in an appropriate state, and the rib 122 can more reliably suppress rattling against the fixing target portion P, thereby properly fixing the housing 1 to the fixing target portion P. Furthermore, when the wire harness WH fixes the housing 1 to the fixing target portion P via the fixing portion 110, the wiring material W is prevented from being caught on the rib 122, thereby preventing the wiring material W from being damaged. Therefore, the wiring material W can be properly routed.

[0046] Furthermore, in the above-described rib 122, when the housing 1 as the fixing target M is fixed to the fixing target portion P via the fixing portion 110, the corner portion 122C formed between the first section 122A and the second section 122B abuts against the fixing target portion P. With this configuration, the fixing structure 100 can abut the apex of the V-shaped rib 122 against the fixing target portion P in a more appropriate state. The fixing structure 100 can abut the rib 122 against the fixing target portion P in an appropriate state and bend the rib 122 toward the inside (the support portion 121 side), thereby allowing the tip 122Bb of the rib 122 to enter inside the recess 121h of the support portion 121. Therefore, the wire harness WH to which the fixing structure 100 is applied can more reliably prevent gaps from forming between the support portion 121 provided on the housing 1, which is the fixing object M, and the rib 122 extending from the support portion 121, and can more reliably prevent components such as the routing material W from getting caught on the rib 122 when the housing 1 is fixed to the fixing object P via the fixing portion 110.

[0047] Furthermore, the fixing portion 110 described above has an axis portion 111 formed along a length direction X intersecting with a wall portion (side wall portion 10KBb) of the housing 1 as a fixing target M, and a pair of flexible arm portions 112 supported in a cantilever manner by the axis portion 111. The support portion 121 is composed of a pair of first support walls 121A formed protruding from the side wall portion 10KBb of the housing 1 along the length direction X, and a second support wall portion 121B positioned opposite the side wall portion 10KBb of the housing 1 and connecting the first support walls 121A to each other, and the recess 121h is surrounded by the side wall portion 10KBb of the housing 1, the pair of first support walls 121A, and the second support wall portion 121B, and is composed of a through hole penetrating along a height direction Z intersecting with the length direction X. The rib 122 is supported by the second support wall 121B of the support portion 121, and is formed from the second support wall 121B toward the side wall 10KBb of the housing 1, so that the tip 122Ab side of the first section 122A is formed to protrude in the height direction Z. The fixing target portion P is configured to include a first portion P1 formed along the height direction Z and a second portion P2 formed along the length direction X, and the fixing portion 110 is fixed to the first portion P1 by inserting the shaft portion 111 into the mounting hole Ph formed in the first portion P1 along the length direction X, and the rib 122 abuts against the second portion P2. With this configuration, the fixing structure 100 can appropriately suppress rattling with respect to the fixing target portion P by abutting the rib 122 constituting the auxiliary portion 120 against a portion different from the fixing portion by the fixing portion 110. Therefore, the wire harness WH to which the fixing structure 100 is applied can properly fix the housing 1 to the fixing target portion P. In addition, the wire harness WH can prevent components such as the wiring material W from getting caught on the rib 122 at the second portion P2 side, which is difficult to see from the first portion P1 side, when fixing the housing 1 to the first portion P1 of the fixing target portion P via the fixing portion 110, by storing the tip 122Bb of the rib 122 constituting the auxiliary portion 120 inside the recess 121h of the support portion 121. Therefore, the wire harness WH can prevent the wiring material W from being damaged, and can properly route the wiring material W.

[0048] The fixing structure 100 and the wire harness WH according to the embodiment of the present invention described above are not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims.

[0049] For example, the object M to be fixed on which the fixing structure 100 is provided is not limited to the form of the housing 1 shown in Fig. 1. Also, the housing 1 has been described as a connector holder, but it may be a protector or an electric connection box.

[0050] Furthermore, the location where the fixing portion 110 is provided is not particularly limited.

[0051] Furthermore, the positional relationship between the fixing part 110 and the auxiliary part 120 is not limited to the positional relationship shown in FIG. 1, and although it has been explained that the fitting direction of the fixing part 110 with respect to the fixing target part P and the contact direction of the rib 122 with respect to the fixing target part P intersect with each other, they may also be in the same direction.

[0052] Furthermore, the shape of the support portion 121 is not particularly limited as long as it is capable of supporting the rib 122 in a cantilever manner and has a recess 121h capable of housing the tip 122Bb of the rib 122 therein.

[0053] Furthermore, the location where the rib 122 comes into contact with the target part P is not particularly limited.
