[0010] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0011] The vehicle door of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0012] (1) A vehicle door includes an insertion opening for inserting a linear transmission member for a component mounted on the vehicle door, the insertion opening being located in a position that is hidden by a portion of the vehicle door when viewed from above. According to the present disclosure, since the insertion opening for inserting the linear transmission member is located in a position that is hidden by a portion of the vehicle door when viewed from above, liquids such as rainwater falling from above are less likely to enter the insertion opening. In other words, the intrusion of liquids such as rainwater through the insertion opening is suppressed.

[0013] (2) In the vehicle door of (1), the linear transmission member is preferably a linear transmission member for an optional item mounted on the vehicle door. In this case, the linear transmission member for the optional item can be routed independently of the linear transmission member for the standard equipment mounted on the vehicle door. Therefore, the workability of routing the linear transmission member for the optional item is improved.

[0014] (3) In the vehicle door of (1) or (2), the insertion opening is preferably provided at the bottom of the vehicle door. In this case, liquids such as rainwater are particularly unlikely to enter the insertion opening. The insertion opening is also less noticeable. Furthermore, the linear transmission member inserted into the insertion opening is less noticeable and less likely to be touched by passengers, etc.

[0015] (4) In the vehicle door of (3), it is preferable that the bottom portion has a step portion that makes the rear portion lower than the front portion, and the insertion opening is provided in the step portion. In this case, for example, the linear transmission member can be routed along the front portion of the bottom of the vehicle door and inserted into the insertion opening provided in the step portion. In this way, the linear transmission member inserted into the insertion opening is particularly inconspicuous and particularly difficult to touch.

[0016] (5) In the vehicle door of (4), it is preferable that the step portion is provided rearward of the center of the bottom portion in the front-rear direction. In this case, liquids such as rainwater are sufficiently prevented from running down the front side of the vehicle door and entering the insertion opening. In addition, the insertion opening is particularly hard to notice.

[0017] (6) It is preferable that the vehicle door of any one of (1) to (5) further includes a speaker, and the insertion opening is provided below the speaker. In this case, the insertion opening is not easily noticeable to passengers, etc. Furthermore, the linear transmission member inserted into the insertion opening is not easily noticeable to passengers, etc., and is not easily touched by passengers, etc.

[0018] (7) In the vehicle door of any one of (1) to (6), it is preferable that the linear transmission member is drawn out from a passenger compartment side of a vehicle body entrance / exit opening that is opened and closed by the vehicle door. In this case, the linear transmission member can be easily routed between the vehicle body and the vehicle door.

[0019] (8) In the vehicle door of any one of (1) to (7), it is preferable that the vertical distance between the upper end of the insertion opening and the floor of the vehicle compartment is 5 centimeters or less. In this case, the insertion opening is less noticeable. Furthermore, the linear transmission member inserted into the insertion opening is less noticeable and less likely to be touched by passengers, etc.

[0020] The replacement interior trim for a vehicle door of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0021] (9) A replacement interior trim for a vehicle door that is attached to a panel of the vehicle door, the replacement interior trim having an insertion opening for inserting a linear transmission member for an optional item mounted on the vehicle door, the insertion opening being located in a position that is hidden by a portion of the vehicle door when viewed from above when the replacement interior trim is attached to the panel. The replacement interior trim according to the present disclosure includes an insertion opening for inserting a linear transmission member for an optional item. Therefore, by replacing the existing interior trim with this replacement interior trim and attaching it to the panel, a vehicle door having an insertion opening for inserting a linear transmission member for an optional item can be obtained. In the vehicle door thus obtained, the insertion opening for inserting the linear transmission member is located in a position that is hidden by a portion of the vehicle door when viewed from above, so that liquids such as rainwater falling from above are less likely to enter the insertion opening. In other words, the intrusion of liquids such as rainwater through the insertion opening is suppressed.

[0022] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of vehicle doors and replacement interior trims for vehicle doors according to the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. The present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims. In the following, the term "parallel" does not mean "parallel" in the strict sense, but rather has a broad meaning within the range that can be considered as parallel, as long as the effects of the present invention are achieved.

[0023] [Embodiment] <1. Car body, doors, and wiring structure> The configuration of a vehicle 1 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are schematic diagrams illustrating a portion of the vehicle 1. Fig. 1 shows a state in which a door 3 is open. Fig. 2 shows a state in which the door 3 is closed.

[0024] The vehicle 1 is an automobile, and includes, for example, a vehicle body 2 and a vehicle door 3 (also simply referred to as the door 3). The door 3 is connected to the vehicle body 2 via a hinge 80 so that an entrance / exit opening 20 of the vehicle body 2 can be opened and closed. The vehicle 1 also includes a wiring structure 10 provided between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3.

[0025] (Car Body 2) The vehicle body 2 includes a metal body 21 that forms the exterior. The body 21 is provided with an access opening 20, which is an entrance to the interior (vehicle compartment) of the vehicle body 2. Specifically, the body 21 includes a frame-shaped portion that defines the access opening 20. The portion of this frame-shaped portion that defines the lower edge of the access opening 20 is also referred to as a side sill 211. The access opening 20 is opened and closed by a door 3. In other words, the access opening 20 is covered by the door 3 when the door 3 is closed, and is open when the door 3 is open.

[0026] The vehicle body 2 further includes interior members 22 formed of resin or the like. The interior members of the vehicle body 2 include an instrument panel 221, which is an interior member extending from in front of the driver's seat to in front of the passenger seat. The instrument panel 221 includes, for example, a portion covering instruments and interior members (also called a dashboard) around it (in front of the front seats). The interior members of the vehicle body 2 also include a cowl side trim 222. The cowl side trim 222 is an interior member that covers a portion of the body 21 that forms the interior side of the wheel arch (cowl side). The cowl side trim 222 is provided closer to the interior of the vehicle than the side sill 211. In other words, the cowl side trim 222 is provided closer to the interior of the vehicle than the access door 20. The cowl side trim 222 has a shape that follows the surface shape of the cowl side, for example, and a lower portion thereof reaches the floor surface 24 of the vehicle interior (see FIG. 4, for example).

[0027] The vehicle body 2 further includes a vehicle body-side weatherstrip 23 for waterproofing. The vehicle body-side weatherstrip 23 (also simply referred to as the weatherstrip 23) is attached to the body 21. The weatherstrip 23 is made of rubber or the like. The weatherstrip 23 is provided along the opening edge of the entrance / exit door 20. When the door 3 is closed, the weatherstrip 23 adheres to the outer peripheral edge of the door 3 in a liquid-tight manner.

[0028] (Door 3) The door 3 is, for example, a front side door. The door 3 includes a metal panel 31. The panel 31 is connected to the body 21 of the vehicle body 2 by a hinge 80. The panel 31 includes, for example, an outer panel and an inner panel.

[0029] The door 3 further includes a door trim 32 formed of resin or the like. The door trim 32 is an interior member for the door and forms the interior design of the door 3. The door trim 32 is attached to a panel 31 (specifically, for example, an inner panel).

[0030] The door trim 32 is provided with a protruding portion 321 that protrudes into the interior of the vehicle when the door 3 is closed. A hollow space 301 is formed between the protruding portion 321 and the panel 31. In order to avoid giving a feeling of oppression to the passengers, the protruding portion 321 is provided, for example, at a height lower than the seat surface of a driver's seat provided in the vehicle compartment (see, for example, FIG. 3). The upper surface of the protruding portion 321 may be used, for example, as an armrest. The protruding portion 321 may be provided with a door pocket 322 that opens onto its upper surface. The door trim 32 is also provided with a speaker 323 (see, for example, FIG. 3). The speaker 323 is provided, for example, in the protruding portion 321. The door trim 32 may further be provided with a handle for opening and closing the door 3, a door lock operating unit, a power window control switch, and the like (all of which are omitted from the drawings).

[0031] The door 3 further includes a door-side weatherstrip 33 for waterproofing. The door-side weatherstrip 33 (also simply referred to as the weatherstrip 33) is attached to the panel 31. The weatherstrip 33 is made of rubber or the like. The weatherstrip 33 is provided along the outer periphery of the panel 31. When the door 3 is closed, the weatherstrip 33 comes into liquid-tight contact with the body 21 of the vehicle body 2.

[0032] (Planning structure 10) The wiring structure 10 includes a plurality of linear transmission members 4, 5 wired between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3. The plurality of linear transmission members 4, 5 included in the wiring structure 10 include, for example, a linear transmission member 4 for a standard equipment mounted on the door 3 and a linear transmission member 5 for an optional equipment mounted on the door 3.

[0033] Here, a "linear transmission member" refers to a linear member that transmits electricity, light, or the like. The linear transmission member may be, for example, an electric wire having a core wire and an insulating coating covering the core wire. The linear transmission member may also be a bare conductor, a shielded wire, a twisted wire, an enameled wire, a nichrome wire, an optical fiber, or the like. When transmitting electricity, the linear transmission member may be any of various signal lines or any of various power lines. The linear transmission member may be a single linear object or a composite of multiple linear objects (for example, a twisted wire, or a cable made up of multiple linear objects covered with a sheath, etc.). The linear transmission member may also be called a wiring member.

[0034] Furthermore, "standard equipment" refers to parts that are installed in advance before the vehicle 1 is shipped, and are installed during the manufacturing stage of the vehicle 1. So-called manufacturer options are included in the standard equipment. Standard equipment installed on the doors 3 includes, for example, electrical parts for power windows, electrical parts for door locks, electrical parts for power mirrors, speakers, etc. Hereinafter, simply referring to standard equipment means standard equipment installed on the doors 3.

[0035] On the other hand, "optional items" are parts that are installed after the vehicle 1 is manufactured and shipped, and are installed by a dealer or the like. So-called dealer options are included in optional items. Optional items include not only equipment that is installed in addition to standard equipment, but also equipment that is installed in place of standard equipment. Optional items installed on the door 3 include, for example, cameras, distance measurement sensors, other sensors, etc. Hereinafter, when we simply refer to optional items, we mean optional items installed on the door 3.

[0036] The linear transmission member 4 for the standard-installed item is connected directly or indirectly to the standard-installed item and performs, for example, at least one of power supply and signal transmission to the connected standard-installed item. For example, if the linear transmission member 4 is a member that transmits electricity, such as an electric wire, the linear transmission member 4 is electrically connected to the standard-installed item. The wiring structure 10 may include a plurality of linear transmission members 4 for the standard-installed item. In this case, the plurality of linear transmission members 4 may include, for example, a plurality of electric wires for performing at least one of power supply and signal transmission to the plurality of standard-installed items.

[0037] One end of the linear transmission member 4 for standard equipment is located inside the vehicle body 2, and the other end is located inside the door 3. The linear transmission member 4 for standard equipment is routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, specifically between the body 21 and the panel 31. The portion of the linear transmission member 4 for standard equipment routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 is routed, for example, outside the vehicle cabin relative to the weatherstrips 23, 33. The portion of the linear transmission member 4 for standard equipment routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 is covered with an exterior member 6. The exterior member 6 is, for example, a grommet, but may be something other than a grommet. The exterior member 6 is bridged between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, for example, by having each end connected liquid-tightly to the body 21 and the panel 31, respectively. In the wiring structure 10, for example, one or more linear transmission members 4 and exterior members 6 constitute a wire harness. The wire harness configured to include the linear transmission member 4 and the exterior member 6 can also be regarded as a wiring member.

[0038] The linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is provided in the vehicle 1 depending on the optional item being installed. That is, when an optional item is installed in the door 3, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is directly or indirectly connected to the installed optional item and performs, for example, power supply and / or signal transmission to the connected optional item. For example, if the linear transmission member 5 is a member that transmits electricity, such as an electric wire, the linear transmission member 5 is electrically connected to the optional item. The type of linear transmission member 5 is appropriately selected depending on the installed optional item. For example, if the optional item is an Ethernet-compatible device, an Ethernet cable is used as the linear transmission member 5. The wiring structure 10 may include multiple linear transmission members 5 for the optional item. In this case, the multiple linear transmission members 5 may include, for example, multiple electric wires for at least one of power supply and signal transmission to the multiple optional items. If no optional item is installed in the door 3, unlike the examples shown in Figures 1 and 2, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is not provided in the vehicle 1. That is, in this case, the wiring structure 10 does not include the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item.

[0039] One end of the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is located inside the vehicle body 2, and the other end is located inside the door 3. The linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, specifically, between the cowl side trim 222 and the door trim 32. The portion of the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 is routed, for example, on the passenger compartment side relative to the weatherstrips 23, 33. The portion of the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 is guided, for example, by a wiring guide 7. The wiring guide 7 is bridged between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, for example, by connecting each end to the cowl side trim 222 and the door trim 32, respectively. In the wiring structure 10, a wire harness is configured, for example, by one or more linear transmission members 5 and wiring guides 7. A wire harness configured including the linear transmission member 5 and the wiring guide 7 can also be considered as a wiring member.

[0040] <2. Insertion port> As described above, one end of the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is located inside the car body 2, and the other end is located inside the door 3. The car body 2 and the door 3 are each provided with insertion openings 81, 82 for inserting the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item. When a linear transmission member 5 is provided in accordance with the installation of an optional item, the linear transmission member 5 is inserted into each insertion opening 81, 82. At a stage when no optional item is installed (for example, at the stage when the vehicle 1 is shipped), each insertion opening 81, 82 is in a state in which the linear transmission member 5 is not inserted therein.

[0041] The insertion openings 81, 82 will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4 in addition to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 3 shows the vicinity of the cowl side trim 222 and the door trim 32 when the door 3 is open. Figure 4 shows the state when the door 3 is closed as viewed from the inside of the vehicle. However, Figures 3 and 4 omit the panel 31, the wiring guide 7, and the like.

[0042] An insertion opening (vehicle body-side insertion opening) 81 provided in the vehicle body 2 is provided closer to the interior of the vehicle than the entrance / exit 20. The vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 is provided at a sufficiently low position, that is, at a height sufficiently close to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. As an example, the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 is provided at a position such that the vertical distance from the floor surface 24 is 5 centimeters or less. Here, the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 is provided in the cowl side trim 222. That is, here, the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 is a through-hole that penetrates the cowl side trim 222 in its thickness direction.

[0043] The insertion opening (door-side insertion opening) 82 provided in the door 3 is provided at a position hidden by a part of the door 3 when the door 3 attached to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80 is viewed from above (FIGS. 1 and 2). "Viewed from above" means looking down in the vertical direction. By providing the door-side insertion opening 82 at a position hidden by a part of the door 3 when viewed from above, liquids such as rainwater falling from above are less likely to enter the door-side insertion opening 82 when the door 3 is opened.

[0044] The door-side insertion opening 82 is preferably provided at a height lower than the eye level of the passengers so as to be less noticeable to the passengers, and is preferably provided, for example, lower than the speaker 323. To make the door-side insertion opening 82 less noticeable, it is also preferable that the door-side insertion opening 82 be provided at a sufficiently low position, that is, at a height sufficiently close to the floor surface 24 of the passenger compartment. As an example, the door-side insertion opening 82 is preferably provided at a position such that the vertical distance between its upper end and the floor surface 24 of the passenger compartment is 5 centimeters or less.

[0045] Here, the door-side insertion opening 82 is provided in the bottom 30 of the door 3. The "bottom 30 of the door 3" refers to a portion that can be seen when the door 3 attached to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80 is viewed from below (when viewed vertically upward). Here, a protruding portion 321 is provided in the door trim 32, and a lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321 forms at least a part of the bottom 30 of the door 3. The door-side insertion opening 82 is provided in the lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321. In this case, the door-side insertion opening 82 is hidden by the protruding portion 321 when viewed from above. In other words, the door-side insertion opening 82 is provided at a position that is hidden by the protruding portion 321 when the door 3 attached to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80 is viewed from above.

[0046] The lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321 is formed, for example, by a step portion 324, a front portion 325 forward of the step portion 324, and a rear portion 326 rearward of the step portion 324. Here, when the door 3 is attached to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80, the side closer to the hinge 80 is referred to as the "front" and the side farther from the hinge 80 is referred to as the "rear." The step portion 324 is provided at a position rearward of the center in the fore-and-aft direction on the bottom 30 of the door 3. The step portion 324 has an upper edge, a lower edge lower than the upper edge, and a main surface extending in the height direction therebetween. The step portion 324 is continuous with the front portion 325 at the upper edge and continuous with the rear portion 326 at the lower edge. In other words, the step portion 324 makes the rear portion 326 lower than the front portion 325. The front portion 325 extends horizontally along the fore-and-aft direction. The rear portion 326 is shaped to bend upward in a gentle curve as it extends rearward from a position lower than the front portion 325. The door-side insertion opening 82 is provided in the stepped portion 324. That is, here, the door-side insertion opening 82 is a through-hole that penetrates in the front-rear direction through the main surface of the stepped portion 324, which extends in the height direction.

[0047] When a linear transmission member 5 is provided in accordance with the installation of an optional item, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is inserted through the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and drawn from inside the vehicle body 2 to the door 3 side. In other words, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is drawn from inside the vehicle cabin relative to the entrance / exit 20. The linear transmission member 5 drawn out from the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 is routed in the front-rear direction along the front portion 325 of the door trim 32, and is inserted in the front-rear direction through the door-side insertion opening 82 and introduced into the door 3. In this way, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 (specifically, between the cowl side trim 222 and the door trim 32) through the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82.

[0048] <3. Wiring guide> (composition) The portion of the linear transmission member 5 for optional items that is routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 (also simply referred to as the routed portion) is guided by a wiring guide 7. The configuration of the wiring guide 7 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a perspective view that schematically shows the wiring guide 7.

[0049] The wiring guide 7 includes a first path regulating member 71 and a second path regulating member 72. The first path regulating member 71 and the second path regulating member 72 are connected via a first pivot shaft 73, and each path regulating member 71, 72 can rotate relative to the other. That is, the wiring guide 7 includes a plurality of (here, two) path regulating members 71, 72 that are rotatably connected.

[0050] The first path regulating member 71 has a shape that is bent in the extension direction. The first path regulating member 71 has rigidity and is not easily deformed even when an external force is applied. The first path regulating member 71 is cylindrical. As an example, the first path regulating member 71 has a split cylindrical shape in which a pair of half bodies arranged opposite each other are locked together. As described above, the first path regulating member 71 is connected at one end to the second path regulating member 72 via the first pivot shaft portion 73. An opening 701 is provided on the bottom surface of the other end of the first path regulating member 71. This opening 701 serves as an introduction port for introducing the linear transmission member 5, which is drawn out from the vehicle body-side insertion port 81, into the cylindrical interior of the wiring guide 7.

[0051] The second path restricting member 72 includes an outer tube member 721 and an inner tube member 722. Both the outer tube member 721 and the inner tube member 722 have a shape that extends linearly. Both the outer tube member 721 and the inner tube member 722 have rigidity and are resistant to deformation even when an external force is applied. Both the outer tube member 721 and the inner tube member 722 are cylindrical. As an example, both the outer tube member 721 and the inner tube member 722 are split-tube shapes formed by a pair of opposing half-split bodies that are locked together. The inner diameter of the outer tube member 721 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner tube member 722. The inner tube member 722 is inserted into the outer tube member 721 from one end. An opening 702 on the other end of the inner tube member 722 serves as an outlet for pulling out the linear transmission member 5 from the inside of the tube of the wiring guide 7.

[0052] When the inner tube member 722 advances from the inside of the outer tube member 721, the length of the second path regulating member 72 in the extension direction increases (solid line in FIG. 5). Conversely, when the inner tube member 722 advances into the inside of the outer tube member 721, the length of the second path regulating member 72 in the extension direction decreases (double-dashed line in FIG. 5). In other words, the length of the second path regulating member 72 changes as the inner tube member 722 advances and retreats (sliding) relative to the outer tube member 721. In other words, the second path regulating member 72 is extendable and retractable. A guide structure 720 (for example, a combination of convex and concave strips along the extension direction) for guiding the movement of the inner tube member 722 along its extension direction may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the inner tube member 722 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube member 721.

[0053] The linear transmission member 5 is introduced into the tubular interior of the wiring guide 7 through the opening 701, is inserted successively through the tubular interior of the first path regulating member 71 and the tubular interior of the second path regulating member 72, and is led out from the tubular interior through the opening 702. As a result, the portion of the linear transmission member 5 that is inserted into the tubular interior of the wiring guide 7 (the insertion portion) is guided by the wiring guide 7, and the path of the insertion portion is regulated to a shape that follows the wiring guide 7. In addition, the insertion portion is protected by being covered by the wiring guide 7.

[0054] The wiring unit 700 may be configured to include the linear transmission member 5 and the wiring guide 7. In the wiring unit 700, the linear transmission member 5 may be inserted into the cylindrical interior of the wiring guide 7.

[0055] (Arrangement mode) Next, the arrangement of the wiring guide 7 will be described with reference to Figs. 6 to 8. Figs. 6 to 8 are schematic diagrams showing the cowl side trim 222, the door trim 32, and the wiring guide 7. Fig. 6 shows the door 3 in an open state. Fig. 7 shows the door 3 in a closed state. Fig. 8 shows the door 3 in a closed state as viewed from inside the vehicle. In Figs. 6 to 8, the panel 31 and the like are omitted from the illustration.

[0056] The wiring guide 7 is provided between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3. Specifically, the wiring guide 7 is connected to the cowl side trim 222 at an end of the first path regulating member 71 and connected to the door trim 32 at an end of the second path regulating member 72, so as to bridge between the cowl side trim 222 and the door trim 32.

[0057] That is, an end of the first path-regulating member 71 is connected to the cowl side trim 222, specifically, to the vehicle-body-side insertion opening 81 provided therein. At this connection portion, the opening 701 and the vehicle-body-side insertion opening 81 are arranged to overlap. Also, a second pivot shaft portion 74 is provided at this connection portion, and the first path-regulating member 71 can rotate around the vehicle-body-side insertion opening 81.

[0058] When the door 3 is open, the first path regulating member 71 is disposed in a rotational position so as to straddle the body 21 (specifically, the side sill 211). In this state, the first path regulating member 71 bends to go around the body 21 (specifically, the portion that is connected to the front side of the side sill 211 and rises upward, that is, the so-called front pillar). In other words, when the door 3 is open, the first path regulating member 71 bends to go around the front pillar and straddles the side sill 211.

[0059] The second path restricting member 72 is disposed in a position extending along the front portion 325. Specifically, for example, the door trim 32 is provided with a support plate 327 extending parallel to the front portion 325 at a position lower than the front portion 325 (see FIG. 4 ). The support plate 327 supports the second path restricting member 72 from below, thereby supporting the second path restricting member 72 in a position extending along the front portion 325. However, the support plate 327 does not prevent the second path restricting member 72 from expanding and contracting. In other words, the second path restricting member 72 is supported in a position extending along the front portion 325, while being able to expand and contract in the direction of extension, i.e., along the front portion 325. By being in a position extending along the front portion 325, the second path restricting member 72 is hidden by a part of the door 3 (specifically, the protruding portion 321) when viewed from above. That is, the second path restricting member 72 is provided at a position where it is hidden by a part of the door 3 when the door 3 attached to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80 is viewed from above.

[0060] The tip of the inner tubular member 722 of the second path restriction member 72 is inserted into the door-side insertion opening 82, and the opening 702 is disposed inside the door 3. In this state, a locking portion 7221 provided at the tip of the inner tubular member 722 is locked into the door-side insertion opening 82. This connects the end of the second path restriction member 72 to the door trim 32, specifically, the door-side insertion opening 82 provided therein, and restricts the second path restriction member 72 from rotating relative to the door 3. In other words, the second path restriction member 72 is restricted to a position extending along the front portion 325.

[0061] In this manner, the wiring guide 7 is disposed between the cowl side trim 222 and the door trim 32. The linear transmission member 5 inserted through the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and pulled out therefrom, i.e., the linear transmission member 5 pulled out from the passenger compartment side relative to the entrance 20, is introduced into the tubular interior of the wiring guide 7 through the opening 701, is inserted sequentially through the tubular interiors of the first path regulating member 71 and the second path regulating member 72, is led out of the tubular interior through the opening 702, and is disposed inside the door 3. In other words, by being inserted through the tubular interior of the wiring guide 7, the linear transmission member 5 is inserted through the door-side insertion opening 82. In this manner, the routed portion of the linear transmission member 5, i.e., the portion routed between the cowl side trim 222 and the door trim 32 through the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82, is guided by the wiring guide 7, and the route of the routed portion is restricted to a shape along the wiring guide 7. In addition, the wiring portion is protected by being covered with the wiring guide 7.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 8 , the wiring guide 7 extends in a plane parallel to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment from one end connected to the cowl side trim 222 to the other end connected to the door trim 32. Therefore, the path of the wiring portion of the linear transmission member 5 is restricted to a plane parallel to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. In order to make the wiring guide 7 less noticeable, it is preferable that the wiring guide 7 be disposed at a sufficiently low position, that is, at a height sufficiently close to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. As an example, it is preferable that the wiring guide 7 be disposed at a height such that the vertical distance between its upper surface and the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment is 5 centimeters or less.

[0063] As will be described later, the wiring guide 7 deforms in response to the rotation of the door 3. Specifically, the path restriction members 71, 72 rotate around the respective rotation shafts 73, 74, and the second path restriction member 72 expands and contracts. Here, the rotation axes defined by the rotation shafts 73, 74 are set in a direction perpendicular to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. The direction in which the second path restriction member 72 expands and contracts is limited to a direction along the front portion 325, and this direction is within a plane parallel to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. Therefore, the wiring guide 7 deforms in a plane parallel to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. In other words, the wiring guide 7 deforms in response to the rotation of the door 3 while maintaining the path of the wiring portion of the linear transmission member 5 within a plane parallel to the floor surface 24.

[0064] (Aspects of deformation) When the door 3 is rotated around the hinge 80 to open or close the entrance 20, the wiring guide 7 is deformed to follow the rotation (i.e., to maintain both ends of the wiring guide 7 at the positions of the insertion openings 81, 82). From another perspective, the wiring guide 7 is deformed so as not to hinder the rotation of the door 3. The manner in which the wiring guide 7 is deformed will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams for explaining the manner in which the wiring guide 7 is deformed. FIG. 9 shows the door 3 in a closed state. FIG. 10 shows the door 3 in an open state.

[0065] As described above, the door 3 is connected to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80 and rotates around the hinge 80 to open and close the entrance 20. For example, if a configuration is adopted in which the vehicle-body insertion opening 81 is provided closer to the interior of the vehicle than the entrance 20, it is difficult to align the position of the vehicle-body insertion opening 81 with the position of the hinge 80. If these two positions do not match, the distance between the vehicle-body insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82 changes when the door 3 rotates. Furthermore, if the two positions do not match, for example, even if the direction of the straight path connecting the vehicle-body insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82 matches the extension direction of the door 3 when the door 3 is closed, the direction of this straight path will deviate from the extension direction of the door 3 as the door 3 rotates in the opening direction.

[0066] Even if the position of the vehicle-body-side insertion opening 81 and the position of the hinge 80 do not coincide, the wiring guide 7 can follow the rotation of the door 3 while maintaining the second path-restricting member 72 extending along the door 3. That is, in the wiring guide 7, in response to the rotation of the door 3, the first path-restricting member 71 rotates around the second pivot shaft 74 (i.e., around the vehicle-body-side insertion opening 81) so that the first pivot shaft 73 is maintained in the extension direction of the door 3 (specifically, the front portion 325). The direction of rotation is the same as that of the door 3, but the angle of rotation is not necessarily the same as that of the door 3. The second path-restricting member 72 rotates around the first pivot shaft 73 (i.e., rotates relative to the first path-restricting member 71) in response to the rotation of the first path-restricting member 71, thereby maintaining the orientation of extending along the door 3 (specifically, the front portion 325). On the other hand, the length of the second path regulating member 72 changes (expands and contracts) to compensate for the movement of the first rotation shaft portion 73 in the direction along the door 3. If the vehicle-side insertion opening 81 is located inside the passenger compartment and rearward of the hinge 80, when the door 3 rotates in the direction to open it (opening operation), the first rotation shaft portion 73 moves relative to the door 3 in a direction approaching the hinge 80, and the inner cylindrical member 722 advances from the outer cylindrical member 721 by that amount, and the second path regulating member 72 extends. Conversely, when the door 3 rotates in the direction to close it (closing operation), the first rotation shaft portion 73 moves relative to the door 3 in a direction away from the hinge 80, and the inner cylindrical member 722 advances into the outer cylindrical member 721 by that amount, and the second path regulating member 72 contracts and shortens.

[0067] In this manner, in response to the rotation of the door 3, the first path restriction member 71 rotates around the second pivot shaft 74, and the second path restriction member 72 rotates around the first pivot shaft 73 while changing its length. As a result, the second path restriction member 72 follows the rotation of the door 3 while maintaining a posture in which it extends along the door 3. In other words, when the door 3 rotates, the second path restriction member 72 is maintained in a posture in which it extends along the door 3. Therefore, when passengers get on or off the vehicle, the wiring guide 7 is less likely to be stepped on or caught by the wiring guide 7. In particular, here, the second path restriction member 72 is in a posture in which it extends along the front portion 325. In other words, when the door 3 rotates, the second path restriction member 72 is maintained in a posture in which it extends along the front portion 325, i.e., is hidden by the protruding portion 321 when viewed from above. Therefore, the wiring guide 7 is less noticeable when the door 3 is opened or closed. Furthermore, when passengers get on and off the vehicle, the wiring guide 7 is particularly unlikely to be stepped on.

[0068] <4. Effects etc.> The door 3 configured as described above includes a door-side insertion opening 82 for inserting the linear transmission member 5. This door-side insertion opening 82 is located in a position that is hidden by a part of the door 3 when viewed from above, so that liquids such as rainwater falling from above are less likely to enter the door-side insertion opening 82. In other words, the intrusion of liquids such as rainwater through the door-side insertion opening 82 is suppressed.

[0069] Furthermore, if the door-side insertion opening 82 is for inserting the linear transmission member 5 for an optional item, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item can be routed independently of the linear transmission member 4 for the standard-installed item. If the door does not have the door-side insertion opening 82 for inserting the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item, when a linear transmission member 5 is provided in accordance with the installation of an optional item, the linear transmission member 5 must be routed along the same path as the linear transmission member 4 for the standard-installed item. In other words, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item must be routed inside the exterior member 6 that covers the linear transmission member 4 for the standard-installed item. However, in many cases, this routing work is not easy. Because the exterior member 6 is located on the exterior side of the vehicle relative to the weatherstrips 23 and 33, it is difficult to secure sufficient working space for the routing work, and it is also difficult to secure sufficient extra space within the exterior member 6 to route the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item. As described above, if the door 3 is equipped with a door-side insertion opening 82, the linear transmission member 5 for optional items can be routed independently of the linear transmission member 4 for standard equipment, thereby improving the workability of routing the linear transmission member 5 for optional items.

[0070] Furthermore, when the door-side insertion opening 82 is provided in the bottom portion 30 of the door 3, liquids such as rainwater are particularly unlikely to enter the door-side insertion opening 82. Moreover, the door-side insertion opening 82 is less noticeable, and is less likely to impair the appearance of the door 3. Furthermore, the linear transmission member 5 inserted into the door-side insertion opening 82 is less noticeable, and is less likely to be touched by passengers, etc.

[0071] In particular, when the bottom 30 of the door 3 (specifically, the lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321 that forms at least a part of the bottom 30) has a step portion 324 that makes the rear portion 326 lower than the front portion 325, and the door-side insertion opening 82 is provided in the step portion 324, for example, the linear transmission member 5 can be routed along the front portion 325 and inserted into the door-side insertion opening 82 provided in the step portion 324. In this way, the linear transmission member 5 inserted into the door-side insertion opening 82 is particularly hard to notice and difficult to touch.

[0072] Furthermore, when the step portion 324 is provided rearward of the center in the front-to-rear direction of the bottom portion 30 of the door 3 (specifically, the lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321 that forms at least a part of the bottom portion 30), liquid such as rainwater is sufficiently prevented from running down the front side of the door 3 and entering the door-side insertion opening 82. Furthermore, the door-side insertion opening 82 is particularly less noticeable.

[0073] In addition, when the door-side insertion opening 82 is provided below the speaker 323, the door-side insertion opening 82 is less noticeable to passengers and the like. Furthermore, the linear transmission member 5 inserted through the door-side insertion opening 82 is less noticeable to passengers and the like, and is less likely to be touched by passengers and the like.

[0074] Furthermore, when the linear transmission member 5 inserted into the door-side insertion opening 82 is pulled out from inside the vehicle cabin, further from the boarding / alighting entrance 20 (specifically, from the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 provided inside the vehicle cabin, further from the boarding / alighting entrance 20), the linear transmission member 5 can be routed inside the vehicle cabin, making it easy to route the linear transmission member 5 between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3.

[0075] Furthermore, when the vertical distance between the upper end of the door-side insertion opening 82 and the floor surface 24 of the vehicle interior is 5 centimeters or less, the door-side insertion opening 82 is less noticeable. Furthermore, the linear transmission member 5 inserted into the door-side insertion opening 82 is less noticeable and is less likely to be touched by passengers, etc.

[0076] Furthermore, if the heightwise separation distance between the upper end of the door-side insertion opening 82 and the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment and the heightwise separation distance between the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment are both 5 centimeters or less, there is no need to provide a large height difference when routing the linear transmission member 5 between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, making it particularly easy to route the linear transmission member 5. Furthermore, since the linear transmission member 5 is routed at a sufficiently low position, the routed linear transmission member 5 is less noticeable and less likely to be touched by passengers, etc.

[0077] [Variations] The door 3 according to the above embodiment may be obtained by replacing at least a portion of the existing door trim attached to the panel 31 with a replacement interior trim. Fig. 11 shows an example of a replacement door trim 32a that is a replacement interior trim that is attached to the panel 31.

[0078] Like the door trim 32 according to the above embodiment, the replacement door trim 32a has a door-side insertion opening 82a for inserting the optional linear transmission member 5. The door-side insertion opening 82a is provided at a position that is hidden by a part of the door 3 when viewed from above in a state where the replacement door trim 32a is attached to the panel 31.

[0079] Specifically, for example, the replacement door trim 32a includes a protruding portion 321a, a door pocket 322a, and a speaker 323a provided therein, similar to the door trim 32 according to the above embodiment. The underside 3210a of the protruding portion 321a is formed of, for example, a step 324a provided at a position rearward of the center in the front-to-rear direction, a front portion 325a connected to the upper edge of the step 324a and extending forward, and a rear portion 326a connected to the lower edge of the step 324a and extending rearward. The door-side insertion opening 82a is provided in the step 324a.

[0080] For example, at the stage of shipping the vehicle 1, a door trim 932 without the door-side insertion opening 82a is attached to the panel 31 of the door 3. Then, after shipping the vehicle 1, when providing a linear transmission member 5 in response to the installation of an optional item, at least a part of the existing door trim 932 is replaced with a replacement door trim 32a, which is attached to the panel 31. Specifically, for example, the protruding portion 9321 of the existing door trim 932 is removed from the panel 31, and the replacement door trim 32a is attached to the panel 31 in place of the protruding portion 9321. In this way, a door 3 having the door-side insertion opening 82a is obtained.

[0081] In the door 3 having the replacement door trim 32a attached to the panel 31, the door-side insertion opening 82a for inserting the linear transmission member 5 is located in a position that is hidden by a part of the door 3 when viewed from above, so that liquids such as rainwater falling from above are less likely to enter the door-side insertion opening 82a. In other words, the intrusion of liquids such as rainwater through the door-side insertion opening 82a is suppressed. Furthermore, if the configuration is such that at least a part of the existing door trim 932 is replaced with the replacement door trim 32a when the linear transmission member 5 is installed in accordance with the installation of an optional item after the vehicle 1 is shipped, a situation will not occur in which passengers or the like feel uncomfortable about the presence of the unused door-side insertion opening 82a in the door 3 when the optional item is not yet installed.

[0082] A wiring unit 700a may be configured to include an optional linear transmission member 5, a wiring guide 7, and a replacement door trim 32a. In the wiring unit 700a, the linear transmission member 5 may be inserted into the tubular interior of the wiring guide 7. Furthermore, the wiring guide 7 may be connected at one end to the door-side insertion opening 82a while the second path restricting member 72 is restricted to a position extending along the front portion 325a. In this case, the linear transmission member 5 is inserted into the tubular interior of the wiring guide 7, thereby being inserted into the door-side insertion opening 82a.

[0083] When such a wiring unit 700a is used, by replacing at least a portion of the existing door trim 932 with the replacement door trim 32a and attaching it to the panel 31, one end of the linear transmission member 5 is pulled into the door 3 through the door-side insertion opening 82a, and the linear transmission member 5 is guided by the wiring guide 7 along the way. This simplifies the work of routing the linear transmission member 5 between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3.

[0084] In the above embodiment, the door trim 32 has a step portion 324 provided on the underside 3210 of the protruding portion 321, and the door side insertion opening 82 is provided in the step portion 324, but the door trim 32 does not necessarily have to have the step portion 324, and the door side insertion opening 82 does not necessarily have to be provided in the step portion 324.

[0085] For example, the door trim 32b shown in FIG. 12 includes a protruding portion 321b, a door pocket 322b, and a speaker 323b provided therein, similar to the door trim 32 according to the above embodiment. However, in this door trim 32b, the underside 3210b of the protruding portion 321b is formed from a central portion 324b extending horizontally along the front-to-rear direction, a front curved portion 325b continuing forward from the central portion 324b, and a rear curved portion 326b continuing rearward from the central portion 324b. The front curved portion 325b curves upward from the front end of the central portion 324b, forming a gentle curve as it moves forward. The rear curved portion 326b curves upward from the rear end of the central portion 324b, forming a gentle curve as it moves rearward.

[0086] In such a door trim 32b, the door-side insertion opening 82b may be provided in, for example, the front curved portion 325b. Like the door-side insertion opening 82 according to the above embodiment, such a door-side insertion opening 82b is also hidden by the protruding portion 321b when viewed from above. Also, like the door-side insertion opening 82 according to the above embodiment, the linear transmission member 5 can be inserted in the front and rear directions through such a door-side insertion opening 82b.

[0087] In the above embodiment, the door-side insertion opening 82 is provided in the bottom 30 of the door 3, but the door-side insertion opening 82 may be provided in a position other than the bottom 30. That is, the door-side insertion opening 82 may be provided in a position other than the bottom 30, and in a position that is hidden by a part of the door 3 when viewed from above. For example, if the door 3 has a surface area facing downward or a surface area facing obliquely downward other than the bottom 30, the door-side insertion opening 82 may be provided in that surface area.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the door-side insertion opening 82 is hidden by the protruding portion 321 when viewed from above. However, the portion of the door 3 that hides the door-side insertion opening 82 when viewed from above does not necessarily have to be the protruding portion 321. In other words, the portion of the door 3 that hides the door-side insertion opening 82 may be a portion of the door trim 32 other than the protruding portion 321, or may be a portion of the panel 31. In other words, it is sufficient that at least one of the door trim 32 and the panel 31 has a shape that hides the door-side insertion opening 82. For example, a recess may be formed in a portion of the door 3, and the door-side insertion opening 82 may be provided in the recess. Alternatively, for example, a protrusion may be formed in a portion of the door 3, and the door-side insertion opening 82 may be provided below the protrusion.

[0089] In the above embodiment, the wiring structure 10 does not necessarily have to include the wiring guide 7. Alternatively, the wiring structure 10 may include, instead of the wiring guide 7, a flexible tubular member (for example, a grommet or a corrugated tube) that covers the portion of the linear transmission member 5 that is routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3.

[0090] In the above embodiment, the cowl side trim 222 may be a replaceable member. For example, at the stage of shipping the vehicle 1, a cowl side trim that does not have the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 may be attached to the body 21, and after shipping the vehicle 1, when providing the linear transmission member 5 in response to the installation of an optional item, at least a portion of the existing cowl side trim may be replaced with a replacement cowl side trim that has the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and is attached to the body 21.

[0091] In the above embodiment, when no optional item is installed and the linear transmission member 5 is not inserted through the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82, one or both of the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82 may be blocked by a cover member, a thin film, or the like. In this case, after the vehicle 1 is shipped, when the linear transmission member 5 is installed in accordance with the installation of an optional item, the cover member may be removed or the thin film may be torn, thereby exposing the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82. In addition, the gap between the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the linear transmission member 5 inserted therethrough may be filled with a filler or the like.

[0092] In the above embodiment, the linear transmission member 4 for the standard equipment may be routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 through the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82. That is, each of the insertion openings 81, 82 may be used to insert the linear transmission member 4 for the standard equipment. When the linear transmission member 4 for the standard equipment is inserted through each of the insertion openings 81, 82, a wiring guide 7 may be provided to guide a portion of the linear transmission member 4 for the standard equipment routed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3. For example, when both the linear transmission member 4 for the standard equipment and the linear transmission member 5 for the optional equipment are routed through the vehicle body-side insertion opening 81 and the door-side insertion opening 82, both linear transmission members 4, 5 may be guided together by a common wiring guide 7. Specifically, for example, both linear transmission members 4, 5 may be inserted into the cylindrical interior of the same wiring guide 7.

[0093] Although the vehicle door and the replacement interior trim for the vehicle door have been described in detail above, the above description is merely an example in all respects, and this disclosure is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the configurations described in the above embodiments and modifications can be combined and applied as long as they are not mutually inconsistent. It is understood that countless modifications not illustrated can be envisioned without departing from the scope of this disclosure. [Explanation of symbols]
