DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0010] The clamp of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0011] (1) A clamp for fixing a wire harness to a vehicle body, comprising: a harness fixing portion fixed to the wire harness; a harness side part including a pillar portion protruding from the harness fixing portion and an attachment receiving portion formed on the pillar portion; an attachment portion attached to the attachment receiving portion; and a claw part including a locking claw for locking to the vehicle body.

[0012] In the clamp (1), the attachment portion of the claw is attached to the attachment receptacle formed on the post, making it easy to replace the claw. For example, even if the locking claw of the claw is damaged when the clamp is removed from the vehicle body, the claw can be replaced, making it easy to reuse the harness-side component.

[0013] (2) In the clamp of (1), the attachment direction of the attachment portion and the attachment receiving portion may be a direction intersecting the protruding direction of the pillar portion, thereby making it difficult for the portion where the attachment portion and the attachment receiving portion are attached to be damaged when the clamp is removed from the vehicle body.

[0014] (3) In the clamp of (2), the mounting receiver may have a mounting hole formed inward from the side surface of the column and a locking recess formed on the inner surface of the mounting hole, and the mounting part may have a base part extending along the side surface of the column, an insertion part protruding from the base part and inserted into the mounting hole, and a locking piece protruding from the insertion part and locking in the locking recess. This allows a part where the locking piece and the locking recess engage can be provided inside the column.

[0015] In the clamp of any one of (4) and (3), the locking claw may protrude from a surface of the base portion opposite to a surface from which the insertion portion protrudes, and may be locked to a periphery of a locking hole formed in the vehicle body. This makes it easy to replace the claw part that locks into the locking hole.

[0016] (5) In the clamp of (4), the claw may include a flange that protrudes from an end of the base portion opposite the end from which the locking claw protrudes and covers the peripheral edge of the locking hole opposite the surface where the locking claw engages. When the clamp is removed from the locking hole, the claw may come off the harness-side component. Even in this case, the flange of the claw can hook onto the peripheral edge of the locking hole. This prevents the detached claw from penetrating into the vehicle body through the locking hole, making it easier to retrieve the detached claw.

[0017] (6) In the clamp of (3), the locking claw may protrude from the surface of the base portion from which the insertion portion protrudes and lock onto a locking plate portion on the vehicle body. This makes it easy to replace the claw part that locks onto the locking plate portion.

[0018] (7) In the clamp of any one of (2) to (6), a pair of the claws may be attached to one of the posts, the attachment direction is a direction in which the pair of claws are aligned, and the pair of claws may have the same shape. This allows a pair of claws of the same type to be provided, thereby preventing an increase in the number of types of parts even when the clamp has three or more parts, including the harness-side part and the pair of claws.

[0019] (8) The present disclosure also provides a wire harness including any one of the clamps (1) to (7) and a wire harness main body fixed to the harness fixing part, thereby providing a wire harness in which the claw parts can be easily replaced.

[0020] (9) The clamp set disclosed herein is a clamp set for fixing a wire harness to a vehicle body, and includes multiple types of claw parts and a harness side part to which any one of the multiple types of claw parts is selectively attached, the harness side part including a harness fixing portion fixed to the wire harness, a pillar portion inserted into a locking hole formed in the vehicle body, and an attachment receiving portion formed on the pillar portion, each of the multiple types of claw parts including an attachment portion attached to the attachment receiving portion and a locking claw for engaging with the vehicle body, and the multiple types of claw parts are mutually different in size of the locking claw or protruding direction of the locking claw relative to the attachment portion.

[0021] According to the clamp set (9), the type of the claw parts can be changed depending on the attachment location on the vehicle body, while the harness side parts can be standardized.

[0022] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the clamp, wire harness, and clamp set of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that 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.

[0023] [Embodiment 1] The clamp according to the first embodiment will be described below. Fig. 1 is a front view showing a clamp 10 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the clamp 10. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing how the claw part 40 is attached to the harness-side part 20. Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing how the claw part 40 is attached to the harness-side part 20. In each drawing, three mutually orthogonal directions are indicated as the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction.

[0024] The wire harness 80 comprises a clamp 10 and a wire harness main body 82. The clamp 10 is a member that fixes the wire harness 80 to a vehicle body 90. The wire harness main body 82 comprises at least one wiring member. The wiring member is, for example, an electric wire that transmits electricity or an optical fiber that transmits light. The clamp 10 is fixed to the wire harness main body 82. A locking hole 92 is formed in the vehicle body 90. The clamp 10 is fixed to the locking hole 92. The clamp 10 of the present disclosure is formed by combining multiple parts that are molded separately from each other. The clamp 10 comprises a harness side part 20 and a claw part 40.

[0025] The harness side part 20 includes a harness fixing portion 22, a pillar portion 30, and an attachment receiving portion 32. The harness side part 20 is, for example, a molded part made of a material such as resin. The harness fixing portion 22 is a portion that is fixed to the wire harness main body 82. The pillar portion 30 protrudes from the harness fixing portion 22. The attachment receiving portion 32 is a portion that is used for attachment to the claw part 40. The attachment receiving portion 32 is formed on the pillar portion 30.

[0026] The claw part 40 includes an attachment portion 42 and a locking claw 50. The claw part 40 is, for example, a molded part made of a material such as resin. The attachment portion 42 is a portion that is attached to the attachment receiving portion 32. The locking claw 50 is a portion that is locked to the vehicle body 90. Here, a pair of claw parts 40 is attached to one pillar portion 30. The pair of claw parts 40 have the same shape. The pair of claw parts 40 are attached in opposite directions to each other.

[0027] The shape of the harness fixing portion 22 is not particularly limited and can be set appropriately as long as it can be fixed to the wire harness main body 82. Here, the harness fixing portion 22 has a cable tie structure. Specifically, the harness fixing portion 22 has a band portion 23 and a band fixing portion 24. The band portion 23 is flexible enough to be wrapped around the wire harness main body 82. One end of the band portion 23 is connected to the band fixing portion 24. The other end of the band portion 23 is fixed to the band fixing portion 24. As shown in FIG. 3 , the band fixing portion 24 has a base portion 25, a through hole 26, and a locking protrusion 27. The base portion 25 is formed in a block shape. Here, the base portion 25 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The through hole 26 passes through the base portion 25. Here, the axial direction of the through hole 26 is along the X direction. The locking protrusion 27 locks to the other end of the band portion 23 that is passed through the through hole 26. For example, concave and convex portions are formed on the band portion 23, and the locking protrusions 27 are engaged with concave portions of the concave and convex portions of the band portion 23. Note that the through holes 26 and the locking protrusions 27 are omitted in figures other than Figures 3 and 4.

[0028] The pillar portion 30 protrudes from the base portion 25 on the side opposite to the side from which the band portion 23 protrudes. Here, the pillar portion 30 protrudes in the Z direction from the center of the base portion 25. The pillar portion 30 is formed in a rectangular pillar shape. The base portion 25 extends in the direction in which the clamp 10 is engaged with the vehicle body 90. An attachment receiving portion 32 is provided in the middle of the pillar portion 30 in the Z direction.

[0029] The mounting receiving portion 32 has a mounting hole 34 and a locking recess 36. The mounting hole 34 is formed from the side surface of the column portion 30 toward the inside. The locking recess 36 is formed on the inner surface of the mounting hole 34. Here, the mounting hole 34 is formed as a through-hole that penetrates from one side surface to the other side surface of the column portion 30. The mounting hole 34 extends in the Y direction. Here, two wall portions 35 are provided inside the mounting hole 34 to separate the internal space of the mounting hole 34. The two wall portions 35 are provided with a gap in the X direction. Therefore, the mounting hole 34 has a first hole portion 34A and two second hole portions 34B located on both sides of the first hole portion 34A along the X direction. The first hole portion 34A and the second hole portion 34B are separated by the wall portion 35. A slit 36 ​​is formed in the wall portion 35 in the middle in the Y direction. The portion where the slit 36 ​​is formed is the locking recess 36. The wall portion 35 does not have to be provided inside the mounting hole 34. In this case, the locking recess 36 may be formed on the inner surface of the portion of the pillar portion 30 that has the outer surface.

[0030] The mounting portion 42 can be attached to the mounting receiver 32 by receiving a force in one direction along the mounting direction. Here, the mounting direction between the mounting portion 42 and the mounting receiver 32 is a direction that intersects with the protruding direction of the pillar portion 30. The mounting direction is the Y direction. The mounting direction is the direction in which the pair of claw components 40 are aligned. The mounting portion 42 has a base portion 44, an insertion portion 46, and a locking piece 48. The base portion 44 extends along the side surface of the pillar portion 30. The insertion portion 46 protrudes from the base portion 44. The insertion portion 46 is inserted into the mounting hole 34. The locking piece 48 protrudes from the insertion portion 46. The locking piece 48 locks into the locking recess 36. Here, the insertion portion 46 protrudes in the Y direction from the base portion 44. The tip of the insertion portion 46 is divided into two. A locking piece 48 is provided at each of the two tips. The locking piece 48 protrudes from the insertion portion 46 in the X direction. The two locking pieces 48 are inserted into and locked in the slits 36 of the wall portion 35. Through holes are formed in the base portion 44 on both sides of the base end of the insertion portion 46. The through holes are, for example, holes for removing the locking pieces 48 in a mold. The two tips of the insertion portion 46 are spaced apart in the X direction. This allows the locking pieces 48 to elastically deform so that the two tips approach each other when they contact the wall portion 35. The two tips of the insertion portion 46 may be spaced apart in the Z direction, and the locking pieces 48 may protrude from the insertion portion 46 in the Z direction. Here, the attachment portion 42 and the attachment receiver 32 are provided at only one location in the Z direction. The attachment portion 42 and the attachment receiver 32 may also be provided at multiple locations spaced apart in the Z direction.

[0031] The locking claws 50 are locked to the vehicle body 90 along the locking direction. Here, the Z direction is the locking direction. The mounting direction and the locking direction are perpendicular to each other. The shape of the locking claws 50 is not particularly limited as long as they can be locked to the vehicle body 90, and can be set as appropriate. Here, the locking claws 50 are locked to the periphery of locking holes 92 formed in the vehicle body 90. The locking claws 50 protrude from the surface of the base portion 44 opposite to the surface from which the insertion portion 46 protrudes.

[0032] The claw component 40 includes a flange 52. The flange 52 protrudes from the end of the base portion 44 opposite to the end from which the locking claw 50 protrudes. The flange 52 covers the surface of the periphery of the locking hole 92 opposite to the surface where the locking claw 50 engages.

[0033] The locking claw 50 protrudes from one end of the base portion 44 along the Z direction. The flange 52 protrudes from the other end of the base portion 44 along the Z direction. The locking claw 50 has a base end portion that extends from the tip of the base portion 44 toward the flange 52 in a direction inclined with respect to the Z direction, and a tip end portion that extends from the tip of the base end portion toward the opposite side of the base portion 44. Here, the flange 52 is formed in a plate shape that is larger than the end face of the base portion 44. The edge portion of the flange 52 along the Y direction faces the tip end portion of the locking claw 50. The locking claw 50 and the flange 52 protrude to one side from the base portion 44, and the insertion portion 46 protrudes to the other side from the base portion 44.

[0034] The pair of claw elements 40 are attached to the column portion 30 on opposite sides in the Y direction. In the Y direction, the tip of the locking claw 50 faces the base portion 44 with a gap therebetween. This allows the locking claw 50 to elastically deform so that the tip approaches the base portion 44 when inserted into the locking hole 92. The locking hole 92 is formed to a size that allows the locking claw 50 to pass through when it is elastically deformed so that the tip approaches the base portion 44.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 3 , with the locking claw 50 locked in the locking hole 92, the post portion 30 and the base portion 44 pass through the locking hole 92. The locking claw 50 is locked to the periphery of the locking hole 92 on one side of the vehicle body 90. The flange 52 is locked to the periphery of the locking hole 92 on the other side of the vehicle body 90. The periphery of the locking hole 92 is located between the tip end portion of the locking claw 50 and the outer edge of the flange 52. The periphery of the locking hole 92 and the base portion 44 face each other with a gap between them. The periphery of the locking hole 92 is located on the outer side of the claw component 40 in the mounting direction. This makes it difficult for the claw component 40 to come off the harness-side component 20. The gap between the periphery of the locking hole 92 and the base portion 44 may be equal to or smaller than the protrusion dimension of the insertion portion 46 from the base portion 44. The distance between the periphery of the locking hole 92 and the base portion 44 may be greater than the projection dimension of the insertion portion 46 from the base portion 44 .

[0036] Furthermore, the harness-side component 20 includes an elastic piece 38. The elastic piece 38 protrudes from the base portion 25 of the harness fixing portion 22 toward the side opposite the side where the band portion 23 is located. The elastic piece 38 is formed shorter in the Z direction than the column portion 30. The mounting hole 34 is formed in a tip portion of the column portion 30 that protrudes further in the Z direction than the elastic piece 38. When the clamp 10 engages with the locking hole 92, the elastic piece 38 contacts the periphery of the locking hole 92. The elastic piece 38 in contact with the periphery of the locking hole 92 receives a reaction force from the periphery of the locking hole 92 and bends to reduce its dimension in the Z direction. This suppresses rattle of the clamp 10. Note that in FIG. 3 , the elastic piece 38 shown by solid lines is not bent, while the elastic piece 38 shown by imaginary lines is bent. The elastic piece 38 extends radially outward from the flange 52. Here, the elastic piece 38 is formed in a series of dish shapes in the circumferential direction. The elastic piece 38 may have a shape other than a dish shape. For example, the elastic piece 38 may be provided as a pair spaced apart in the Y direction, similar to the pair of locking claws 50.

[0037] The elastic piece 38 may be provided on the claw part 40 instead of the harness-side part 20. However, by providing the elastic piece 38 on the harness-side part 20 and contacting the periphery of the locking hole 92 to bend, rattle of the harness-side part 20 can be suppressed. This makes it possible to suppress rattle of the wire harness main body 82 fixed to the harness-side part 20.

[0038] When the insertion portion 46 is inserted into the mounting hole 34, the locking piece 48 comes into contact with the wall portion 35. At this time, at least one of the harness-side part 20 and the claw part 40 is elastically deformed, allowing the locking piece 48 to pass through the wall portion 35 in the mounting direction. When the locking piece 48 passes through the wall portion 35 and reaches the locking recess 36, the one that was elastically deformed, either the harness-side part 20 or the claw part 40, elastically returns to its original state. This causes the locking piece 48 to be locked in the locking recess 36. When the base end of the insertion portion 46 is inserted into the mounting hole 34, the side surface of the post portion 30 comes into contact with the main surface of the base portion 44, preventing further insertion.

[0039] With the harness-side component 20 and the claw component 40 attached to the clamp 10, the locking claw 50 can be locked into the locking hole 92. This allows the clamp 10, with the harness-side component 20 and the claw component 40 attached, to be used in the same manner as a well-known band clamp.

[0040] A guide surface is provided at the tip of the clamp 10. When inserting the clamp 10 into the locking hole 92, if the tip position of the clamp 10 is misaligned relative to the locking hole 92 in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, the guide surface comes into contact with the periphery of the locking hole 92, correcting the misalignment. Here, the guide surface is formed at the corner between the tip surface of the clamp 10 and the surface facing the X direction. When viewed from the Y direction, the guide surface is inclined with respect to the X and Z directions. Guide surfaces are formed at the tip of the column portion 30 and the tip of the base portion 44. By forming the guide surfaces, the tip surface of the clamp 10 becomes narrower in the X direction. For example, the dimension of the locking claw 50 in the X direction is the same as the dimension of the tip surface of the clamp 10.

[0041] When the claw part 40 is locked in the locking hole 92, the harness-side part 20 and the claw part 40 cannot be attached or detached without being damaged. In the clamp 10, when the harness-side part 20 and the claw part 40 are to be attached or detached without being damaged, the claw part 40 must be disengaged from the locking hole 92.

[0042] Here, we consider a case in which the locking claw 50 is damaged when an attempt is made to forcibly remove the clamp 10 from the locking hole 92 of a one-piece clamp that does not have a divided structure like the clamp 10. In the case of a one-piece clamp, if the locking claw 50 is damaged, the entire clamp 10, including the undamaged harness fastening portion 22, must be replaced. In contrast, because the clamp 10 is separated into the harness-side part 20 and the claw part 40, even if the locking claw 50 of the claw part 40 is damaged, it is only necessary to replace the damaged claw part 40, and there is no need to replace the harness-side part 20.

[0043] Because the attachment direction of the attachment portion 42 and the attachment receiver 32 is perpendicular to the locking direction, when the clamp 10 is forcibly removed from the locking hole 92, the attachment portion 42 and the attachment receiver 32 are less likely to come off or be damaged than the locking claw 50. For this reason, it is more likely that the locking claw 50 will be damaged and the clamp 10 will come off from the locking hole 92 than that the claw 40 will come off from the harness-side component 20 due to coming off or being damaged by the attachment portion 42 and the attachment receiver 32. In other words, if an attempt is made to remove the clamp 10 from the locking hole 92 while the harness-side component 20 and the claw 40 are attached and the claw 40 is locked in the locking hole 92, the claw 40 is more likely to be broken.

[0044] Even if the claw part 40 comes off the harness-side part 20 without damaging the locking claw 50, the claw part 40 remains locked in the locking hole 92. That is, as shown in FIG. 4 , even when the claw part 40 is locked alone in the locking hole 92, the locking claw 50 and the flange 52 are located on opposite sides of the periphery of the locking hole 92. This makes it difficult for the claw part 40, which has come off the harness-side part 20 and is left alone, to come off the locking hole 92.

[0045] <Effects, etc.> According to the clamp 10 configured as described above, the attachment portion 42 of the claw element 40 is attached to the attachment receiving portion 32 formed on the pillar portion 30, making it easy to replace the claw element 40. For example, even if the locking claw 50 of the claw element 40 is damaged when the clamp 10 is removed from the vehicle body 90, the claw element 40 can be simply replaced, making it easy to reuse the harness-side component 20.

[0046] Furthermore, the attachment direction of the attachment portion 42 and the attachment receiver 32 is a direction that intersects with the protruding direction of the pillar portion 30. This makes it difficult for the portion where the attachment portion 42 and the attachment receiver 32 are attached to be damaged when the clamp 10 is removed from the vehicle body 90.

[0047] Furthermore, the mounting receiver 32 has a mounting hole 34 formed inward from the side surface of the pillar 30, and a locking recess 36 formed on the inner surface of the mounting hole 34, and the mounting portion 42 has a base portion 44 that extends along the side surface of the pillar 30, an insertion portion 46 that protrudes from the base portion 44 and is inserted into the mounting hole 34, and a locking piece 48 that protrudes from the insertion portion 46 and locks into the locking recess 36. This makes it possible to provide a portion inside the pillar 30 where the locking piece 48 and the locking recess 36 lock together.

[0048] The locking claw 50 protrudes from the surface of the base portion 44 opposite to the surface from which the insertion portion 46 protrudes, and locks onto the periphery of a locking hole 92 formed in the vehicle body 90. This makes it easy to replace the claw part 40 that locks into the locking hole 92.

[0049] The claw part 40 also includes a flange 52 that protrudes from an end of the base portion 44 opposite to the end from which the locking claw 50 protrudes, and covers the surface of the periphery of the locking hole 92 opposite to the surface where the locking claw 50 engages. When the clamp 10 is removed from the locking hole 92, the claw part 40 may come off the harness-side part 20. Even in this case, the flange 52 of the claw part 40 can be hooked on the periphery of the locking hole 92. This prevents the detached claw part 40 from penetrating into the vehicle body 90 through the locking hole 92, making it easy to retrieve the detached claw part 40.

[0050] Furthermore, a pair of claw parts 40 are attached to one pillar 30, the attachment direction is the direction in which the pair of claw parts 40 are lined up, and the pair of claw parts 40 have the same shape. This allows one type of claw part 40 to be provided as a pair of claw parts 40, so even if the clamp 10 has three or more parts, namely the harness-side part 20 and the pair of claw parts 40, an increase in the number of part types can be suppressed.

[0051] Furthermore, according to the wire harness 80 including the clamp 10, since the clamp 10 can be separated into the harness-side part 20 and the claw part 40, it is possible to provide a wire harness 80 in which the claw part 40 can be easily replaced.

[0052] [Embodiment 2] A clamp according to embodiment 2 will now be described. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a clamp 210 according to embodiment 2. In the following description, the same components as those described above will be assigned the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

[0053] In the clamp 210, the shape of the locking claw 250 of the claw element 240 is different from the shape of the locking claw 50 of the claw element 40 of the clamp 10. The locking claw 250 protrudes from the surface of the base portion 244 from which the insertion portion 46 protrudes, and engages with the locking plate portion 94 on the vehicle body 90. This makes it easy to replace the claw element 240 that engages with the locking plate portion 94. In the clamp 210, the tip of the base portion 244 protrudes further forward than the tip of the pillar portion 30. The locking claw 250 is located further forward than the pillar portion 30. The locking claws 50 of a pair of claw elements 240 face each other.

[0054] [Embodiment 3] A clamp set according to embodiment 3 will now be described. Fig. 7 is a front view showing a clamp set 300 according to embodiment 3.

[0055] The clamp set 300 differs from the clamps 10 and 210 in that it includes multiple types of claw components 40, 240, and 340. The clamp set 300 includes multiple types of claw components 40, 240, and 340 and a harness-side component 20. One of the multiple types of claw components 40, 240, and 340 is selectively attached to the harness-side component 20. The multiple types of claw components 40, 240, and 340 differ from one another in the size of the locking claws 50, 350 or the protruding direction of the locking claws 50, 250, and 350 relative to the mounting portion 42. With this clamp set 300, the multiple types of claw components 40, 240, and 340 can be changed depending on the attachment location on the vehicle body 90, while the harness-side component 20 can be the same.

[0056] Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the clamp set 300 includes both multiple types of claw elements 40, 340 in which the locking claws 50, 350 are different in size, and multiple types of claw elements 40 (340), 240 in which the locking claws 50 (350), 250 protrude in different directions relative to the mounting portion 42. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the clamp set 300 includes three types of claw elements 40, 240, 340. Of the three types of claw elements 40, 240, 340, two types of claw elements 40, 240 are identical to the above-described claw elements 40, 240. The remaining type of claw element 340 is of a type that engages with the locking hole 92, similar to the claw element 40. The claw elements 40, 340 are of a type that engages with the locking hole 92, and the claw element 240 is of a type that engages with the locking plate portion 94. Therefore, the protruding directions of the locking claws 50 relative to the attachment portion 42 are different between the claw parts 40, 340 and the claw part 240.

[0057] 7, dimension d1 is the dimension in the Y direction from the base portion 44 of the claw part 40 to the locking claw 50. Dimension d2 is the dimension in the Y direction from the base portion 344 of the claw part 340 to the locking claw 50. As shown in FIG. 7, dimension d2 is larger than dimension d1. As a result, the sizes of the locking claws 50 and 350 in the claw parts 40 and 340 are different from each other. The claw part 340 is locked into a locking hole that is larger than the claw part 40.

[0058] The clamp set may include multiple types of claw parts, such as claw part 240, that engage with the locking plate part 94 and have locking claws of different sizes. The clamp set 300 does not need to include both multiple types of claw parts 40, 340 having locking claws 50, 350 of different sizes and multiple types of claw parts 40 (340), 240 having locking claws 50 (350), 250 that protrude in different directions relative to the mounting part 42. The clamp set 300 may include only multiple types of claw parts 40, 340 having locking claws 50, 350 of different sizes, or may include only multiple types of claw parts 40 (340), 240 having locking claws 50 (350), 250 that protrude in different directions relative to the mounting part 42.

[0059] [Note] Although an example in which the harness fixing portion 22 has a band structure has been described above, this is not a required configuration. For example, the harness fixing portion may be formed in a plate shape and fastened to the wire harness main body 82 with tape.

[0060] The configurations described in the above embodiments and modifications can be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually contradictory. [Explanation of symbols]
