[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-92364 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the wiring harness arrangement structure described in Patent Document 1, the silencer is a flexible member, so even if the wiring harness comes into contact with the silencer when it is vibrated or stepped on, a loud contact noise is unlikely to occur.

[0005] In some cases, a spacer that is harder than a silencer is placed on a floor panel, and wiring members are placed in grooves formed in the spacer. In such cases, it is desirable to be able to suppress the generation of contact noise between the wiring members and the spacer.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique that can suppress the generation of contact noise between the wiring member and the spacer. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The wiring module of the present disclosure comprises a spacer having a groove formed therein, a wiring member arranged inside the groove, and a separator provided between the inner surface of the groove and the wiring member, wherein the spacer is a member arranged on a floor panel, and the separator is formed from a material softer than the spacer. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present disclosure, the generation of contact noise between the wiring member and the spacer can be suppressed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

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

[0011] The wiring module of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0012] (1) A wiring module comprising: a spacer having a groove formed therein; a wiring member disposed inside the groove; and a separator disposed between the inner surface of the groove and the wiring member, wherein the spacer is a member disposed on a floor panel, and the separator is formed from a material softer than the spacer.

[0013] According to the wiring module of (1), the separator formed of a material softer than the spacer is provided between the inner surface of the groove and the wiring member, thereby making it possible to suppress the generation of contact noise between the wiring member and the spacer.

[0014] (2) In the wiring module of (1), the separator may be attached to the wiring member, which makes it easy to arrange the separator and the wiring member in the groove.

[0015] (3) In the wiring module of (2), the separator may be formed in a tape shape having a base layer and an adhesive layer, and may be attached to the outer surface of the wiring member by the adhesive layer, thereby facilitating attachment of the separator to the wiring member.

[0016] (4) In the wiring module of any one of (1) to (3), the separators may be provided at a plurality of spaced locations in the section where the grooves are continuous, thereby reducing the amount of separators and suppressing increases in cost and weight.

[0017] (5) In the wiring module of (4), the portion of the wiring member between the separators may sag due to its own weight in a stationary state, and the size of the groove and the spacing of the separators may be set so that the sagging portion of the wiring member between the separators does not come into contact with the inner surface of the groove. This makes it possible to prevent contact between the portion of the wiring member not provided with a separator and the inner surface of the groove when the wiring member is stationary.

[0018] (6) In the wiring module of (4) or (5), the size of the groove and the spacing of the separators may be set so that the portion of the wiring member between the separators does not come into contact with the inner surface of the groove when the wiring member vibrates, thereby suppressing contact between the portion of the wiring member not provided with a separator and the inner surface of the groove when the wiring member vibrates.

[0019] (7) In any one of the wiring modules (1) to (6), a carpet may be provided covering the opening on the opposite side of the bottom surface of the groove, and the wiring member may be attached to the carpet. This allows the wiring member to be integrated with the carpet.

[0020] (8) In the wiring module of (7), the wiring member may be attached to the carpet by the separator, thereby allowing the separator to integrate the wiring member with the carpet.

[0021] (9) A wiring module product group according to the present disclosure is a wiring module product group including a plurality of wiring modules according to any one of (1) to (8), wherein the plurality of wiring modules include a first wiring module and a second wiring module, and the first wiring module and the second wiring module have the same type of spacer but different wiring member thicknesses, and the separator absorbs the difference in wiring member thicknesses. This allows the spacer to be standardized regardless of the thickness of the wiring member.

[0022] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wiring module 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 wiring module according to the first embodiment will be described below. Fig. 1 is a plan view showing the wiring module 10 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is an exploded plan view showing the wiring module 10 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in Fig. 1.

[0024] The wiring module 10 includes a spacer 20, a wiring member 30, and a separator 40. Here, the wiring module 10 includes a carpet 50.

[0025] The spacer 20 is a component placed on the floor panel 80 of the vehicle. The spacer 20 is a component that, for example, flattens the unevenness of the upper surface of the floor panel 80. For example, the lower surface of the spacer 20 may be formed with unevenness corresponding to the unevenness of the upper surface of the floor panel 80. In this case, the convex portions of the lower surface of the spacer 20 are positioned in the concave portions of the upper surface of the floor panel 80, and the concave portions of the lower surface of the spacer 20 are positioned in the convex portions of the upper surface of the floor panel 80. Also, for example, the spacer 20 may be provided in the concave portions of the unevenness of the upper surface of the floor panel 80, so that the convex portions of the upper surface of the floor panel 80 and the upper surface of the spacer 20 are approximately the same height. The spacer 20 may be molded to have a shape corresponding to the floor panel 80. The spacer 20 is made of, for example, foamed resin. The spacer 20 may be made of, for example, expanded polystyrene.

[0026] A wiring member 30 is arranged along a predetermined path on the upper surface of the spacer 20. A groove 22 is formed on the upper surface of the spacer 20. The wiring member 30 is arranged inside the groove 22. The inner surface 23 of the groove 22 has a bottom surface 24 and a pair of side surfaces 25. One of the pair of side surfaces 25 extends from one end of the bottom surface 24, and the other of the pair of side surfaces 25 extends from the other end of the bottom surface 24. The direction connecting the pair of side surfaces 25 is the width direction of the groove 22. The direction in which the side surfaces 25 protrude from the bottom surface 24 is the height direction of the groove 22. The direction in which the bottom surface 24 and the pair of side surfaces 25 are continuous is the extension direction of the groove 22. The groove 22 is open on the side opposite the bottom surface 24. Here, an opening exists at the top of the groove 22, between the tips of the pair of side surfaces 25 of the groove 22.

[0027] A cross section cut by a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of groove 22 is the transverse cross section of groove 22. Here, the transverse cross section of groove 22 is rectangular. The transverse cross section of groove 22 may be rectangular, trapezoidal, semicircular, or the like. Groove 22 may be trapezoidal in that the width dimension at bottom surface 24 is larger than the width dimension at the tips of the pair of side surfaces 25. Groove 22 may be trapezoidal in that the width dimension at bottom surface 24 is smaller than the width dimension at the tips of the pair of side surfaces 25. Here, the width dimension of groove 22 is approximately the same as the height dimension of groove 22. The width dimension of groove 22 may be larger or smaller than the height dimension of groove 22.

[0028] The groove 22 is formed along the path of the wiring member 30. The groove 22 may be formed over the entire path of the wiring member 30 on the spacer 20, or may be formed partially in a portion of the path of the wiring member 30 on the spacer 20 that corresponds to a part of the path.

[0029] Here, the groove 22 has a left groove portion 26, a right groove portion 27, a cross groove portion 28, and a branch groove portion 29. The left groove portion 26 extends in the front-rear direction on the left side of the vehicle. The right groove portion 27 extends in the front-rear direction on the right side of the vehicle. The left groove portion 26 is formed on the inside of the left edge of the spacer 20. The right groove portion 27 is formed on the inside of the right edge of the spacer 20. The front ends of the left groove portion 26 and the right groove portion 27 reach the front edge of the spacer 20. The rear ends of the left groove portion 26 and the right groove portion 27 reach the rear edge of the spacer 20. The left groove portion 26 and the right groove portion 27 are each uniformly continuous from the front edge to the rear edge of the spacer 20. The cross groove portion 28 extends in the left-right direction. One end of the cross groove portion 28 is connected to the left groove portion 26, and the other end is connected to the right groove portion 27. The branched groove portion 29 is a portion that branches off from the left groove portion 26 or the right groove portion 27. The branched groove portion 29 reaches the left edge or the right edge of the spacer 20.

[0030] The wiring member 30 connects devices together in the vehicle. The wiring member 30 includes a plurality of linear transmission members 31. The linear transmission members 31 may be electric wires that transmit electricity or optical fiber cables that transmit light. The plurality of linear transmission members 31 may be grouped together according to their respective paths in the vehicle. The plurality of linear transmission members 31 may be bundled together with a bundling member such as adhesive tape or a cable tie.

[0031] The linear transmission member 31 is a linear member that transmits electricity, light, or the like. It is assumed that the linear transmission member 31 is a member that connects components in a vehicle. The linear transmission member 31 includes a transmission line main body 32 and a coating layer 33. The transmission line main body 32 is a transmission path that transmits electricity or light. For example, if the linear transmission member 31 is an electric wire, the transmission line main body 32 is a conductor core wire. The conductor core wire is composed of one or more element wires. The element wires are formed from copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, or the like. Furthermore, if the linear transmission member 31 is an optical fiber, the transmission line main body 32 is a core and clad. The coating layer 33 is a layer that covers the transmission line main body 32. For example, if the linear transmission member 31 is an electric wire, the coating layer 33 is an insulating coating. The coating layer 33 is composed of, for example, a resin material. The resin material that constitutes the coating layer 33 is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. The linear transmission member 31 may be, for example, a general electric wire having a core wire and a coating layer surrounding the core wire, or may be a shielded wire, a twisted wire, an enameled wire, a nichrome wire, an optical fiber, or the like.

[0032] The linear transmission member 31 for transmitting electricity may be any of various signal lines and power lines. A part of the linear transmission member 31 for transmitting electricity may be used as an antenna, a coil, or the like for sending or receiving a signal or power to or from space.

[0033] Furthermore, the linear transmission member 31 may be a single-core wire. A single-core wire is a single linear object. A single-core wire is a linear transmission member 31 with one transmission path. The linear transmission member 31 may be a multi-core wire. A multi-core wire is a composite of multiple linear objects. A multi-core wire is a linear transmission member 31 with multiple transmission paths. A multi-core wire may be, for example, a twisted wire, a cable in which multiple linear objects are assembled and covered with a sheath, or the like.

[0034] Here, a connector C is provided at the end of the linear transmission member 31. The linear transmission member 31 is connected to a device or another wiring member via the connector C. The connector C has, for example, a connector terminal and a connector housing. The end of the linear transmission member 31 is connected to the connector terminal. The connector terminal is positioned and held in the connector housing. The end of the linear transmission member 31 may also be connected directly to a device or the like without going through the connector C.

[0035] The wiring member 30 has a left wiring portion 36, a right wiring portion 37, a cross wiring portion 38, and a branch wiring portion 39. The left wiring portion 36 is disposed in the left groove portion 26. The right wiring portion 37 is disposed in the right groove portion 27. The cross wiring portion 38 is disposed in the cross groove portion 28. The branch wiring portion 39 is disposed in the branch groove portion 29. The cross section of the portion of the wiring member 30 disposed in each groove 22 is smaller than the cross section of each groove 22.

[0036] The left wiring portion 36 and the right wiring portion 37 each extend along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle. The left wiring portion 36 and the right wiring portion 37 are spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the vehicle. The front ends of the left wiring portion 36 and the right wiring portion 37 each extend from the front edge of the spacer 20 toward the front of the vehicle beyond the spacer 20. The rear ends of the left wiring portion 36 and the right wiring portion 37 each extend from the rear edge of the spacer 20 toward the rear of the vehicle beyond the spacer 20.

[0037] The cross wiring portion 38 extends in the left-right direction of the vehicle. The cross wiring portion 38 is a portion branched off from the left wiring portion 36 and the right wiring portion 37. The linear transmission member 31 of the cross wiring portion 38 is connected to, for example, a device disposed in the first seat or a device disposed around the first seat.

[0038] The branch wiring portion 39 is a portion that branches off from the left wiring portion 36 or the right wiring portion 37. The linear transmission member 31 of the branch wiring portion 39 extends toward the B-pillar or the door for the second seat of the vehicle.

[0039] The separator 40 is provided between the inner surface 23 of the groove 22 and the wiring member 30. The separator 40 is a member that separates the inner surface 23 of the groove 22 from the wiring member 30. The separator 40 is made of a material that is softer than the spacer 20. The separator 40 is made of a material that has cushioning properties. The separator 40 is made of, for example, nonwoven fabric or rubber. The separator 40 has a lower portion 41 and a side portion 42.

[0040] The lower portion 41 is a portion interposed between the wiring member 30 and the bottom surface 24. The lower portion 41 contacts the wiring member 30 and the bottom surface 24. The lower portion 41 may be compressed between the wiring member 30 and the bottom surface 24 by the weight of the wiring member 30. The side portion 42 is a portion interposed between the wiring member 30 and the side surface 25. The side portion 42 contacts the wiring member 30 and the side surface 25.

[0041] Here, the separator 40 has an upper portion 43. The upper portion 43 is a portion interposed between the wiring member 30 and the carpet 50. The upper portion 43 contacts the wiring member 30 and the carpet 50. The separator 40 does not necessarily have to have an upper portion 43. The wiring member 30 may contact the lower surface of the carpet 50.

[0042] The width dimension (left-right dimension) of the cross section of the separator 40 may be larger than the width dimension (left-right dimension) of the cross section of the groove 22. The width dimension of the cross section of the separator 40 is the dimension from the outer surface of one side portion 42 to the outer surface of the other side portion 42. The side portions 42 may be compressed between the pair of side surfaces 25.

[0043] The carpet 50 is placed on the spacer 20. The carpet 50 extends along the upper surface of the spacer 20. The carpet 50 covers the opening (upper opening) of the groove 22 on the opposite side from the bottom surface 24. The carpet 50 hides the groove 22, the wiring member 30, and the separator 40 from occupants. The upper surface of the carpet 50 may be exposed to the interior of the vehicle. The carpet 50 may be made of, for example, a fiber material, rubber, or resin. The carpet 50 may be made of, for example, a material that is more flexible than the spacer 20. The carpet 50 may be made of, for example, a material that generates less friction noise than the spacer 20.

[0044] Here, in the section where the grooves 22 are continuous, the separators 40 are provided at multiple locations spaced apart along the extension direction of the grooves 22. However, the separators 40 may also be provided so as to be continuous, like the grooves 22.

[0045] The portion of the wiring member 30 where the separator 40 is provided is referred to as the supported portion 34. The supported portion 34 is restrained by the separator 40. The supported portion 34 is supported at a fixed position relative to the groove 22. The supported portion 34 is supported at a fixed position relative to the groove 22 even during vehicle vibrations, etc.

[0046] The portions of the wiring member 30 between the separators 40 are free sections 35 that are not directly supported by the separators 40. The free sections 35 can move relatively freely relative to the grooves 22. The free sections 35 can swing relative to the grooves 22 when the vehicle vibrates, for example.

[0047] 4, free section 35 may sag due to its own weight when stationary. The most sagging portion of free section 35 is referred to as maximum sagging portion 35A. Typically, the portion of free section 35 that is located in the middle of two separators 40 is likely to become maximum sagging portion 35A.

[0048] Here, the size of groove 22 and the spacing of separators 40 are set so that maximum sagging portion 35A does not come into contact with inner surface 23 of groove 22. For example, increasing the dimension from the upper opening of groove 22 to bottom surface 24 makes it less likely that maximum sagging portion 35A will come into contact with bottom surface 24 of groove 22. Also, for example, decreasing the spacing of separators 40 reduces the amount of sagging in maximum sagging portion 35A (the vertical dimension between the portion supported by separator 40 and maximum sagging portion 35A). This makes it less likely that maximum sagging portion 35A will come into contact with bottom surface 24 of groove 22.

[0049] Furthermore, the size of the groove 22 and the spacing of the separators 40 are set so that the free section 35 does not come into contact with the inner surface 23 of the groove 22 when it oscillates during vibration. For example, the size of the groove 22 and the spacing of the separators 40 are set so that the free section 35 does not come into contact with the side surface 25 of the groove 22 when it oscillates left and right during vibration. For example, by increasing the spacing between the pair of side surfaces 25, the free section 35 is less likely to come into contact with the side surface 25 of the groove 22 when it oscillates left and right. Furthermore, for example, by decreasing the spacing between the separators 40, the amount of slack in the free section 35 is reduced. This reduces the amplitude of the free section 35 when it oscillates left and right, making it less likely to come into contact with the side surface 25 of the groove 22.

[0050] Here, the separator 40 is attached to the wiring member 30. The separator 40 may be attached to the inner surface 23 of the groove 22. The wiring member 30 may be attached to the carpet 50. The separator 40, the wiring member 30, and the carpet 50 may be assembled together to form a sub-module before being placed on the spacer 20.

[0051] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing how separator 40A is fixed.

[0052] Separator 40A is formed in a tape shape having a base layer 44 and an adhesive layer 45. Base layer 44 is a layer having cushioning properties. The adhesive layer is a layer of an adhesive that is adhesive at room temperature. Separator 40A is attached to the outer surface of wiring member 30 by adhesive layer 45. The surface of base layer 44 contacts inner surface 23 of groove 22.

[0053] 5, the wiring member 30 is attached to the carpet 50 by a separator 40A. A part of the adhesive layer 45 is attached to the wiring member 30, and another part is attached to the carpet 50. The wiring member 30 may be attached to the carpet 50 by a fixing member separate from the separator 40A. The separator 40A may be wrapped around the wiring member 30 one or more times.

[0054] <Effects, etc.> According to the wiring module 10 configured as described above, a separator 40 made of a material softer than the spacer 20 is provided between the inner surface 23 of the groove 22 and the wiring member 30, thereby suppressing the generation of contact noise between the wiring member 30 and the spacer 20.

[0055] Furthermore, the separator 40 is attached to the wiring member 30. This makes it easy to arrange the separator 40 and the wiring member 30 in the groove 22.

[0056] Separator 40A is formed in the shape of a tape having a base layer 44 and an adhesive layer 45, and is attached to the outer surface of wiring member 30 by adhesive layer 45. This makes it easy to attach separator 40A to wiring member 30.

[0057] Furthermore, the separators 40 are provided at a plurality of locations spaced apart in the section where the grooves 22 are continuous, thereby reducing the amount of separator 40 and suppressing increases in cost and weight.

[0058] Furthermore, the size of the groove 22 and the spacing of the separators 40 are set so that the maximum sagging portion 35A of the wiring member 30 does not come into contact with the inner surface 23 of the groove 22. This makes it possible to prevent contact between the free section 35 of the wiring member 30 and the inner surface 23 of the groove 22 when the wiring member 30 is stationary. Furthermore, since the number of fixings can be reduced, the cost of parts and the number of manufacturing or assembly steps can be reduced.

[0059] Furthermore, the size of the grooves 22 and the spacing of the separators 40 are set so that the free sections 35 of the wiring member 30 do not come into contact with the inner surfaces 23 of the grooves 22 when the wiring member 30 sways during vibration. This makes it possible to prevent contact between the free sections 35 and the inner surfaces 23 of the grooves 22 during vibration.

[0060] The wiring module 10 also includes a carpet 50 that covers the opening of the groove 22 on the side opposite to the bottom surface 24, and the wiring member 30 is attached to the carpet 50. This allows the wiring member 30 and the carpet 50 to be integrated together.

[0061] Furthermore, the wiring member 30 is attached to the carpet 50 by the separator 40. This allows the wiring member 30 and the carpet 50 to be integrated by the separator 40.

[0062] [Note] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a wiring module 110 according to a first modified example.

[0063] In the wiring module 110 shown in FIG. 6 , the thickness of the wiring member 130 is thinner than the thickness of the wiring member 30 in the above-described wiring module 10. For example, the number of linear transmission members 31 in the wiring member 130 is smaller than the number of linear transmission members 31 in the wiring member 30, and therefore the thickness of the wiring member 130 is thinner than the thickness of the wiring member 30. The spacers 20 in the wiring module 110 are the same as the spacers 20 in the above-described wiring module 10. Therefore, the distance between the wiring member 130 and the inner surface 23 of the groove 22 is larger than the distance between the wiring member 30 and the inner surface 23 of the groove 22. This difference in distance is absorbed by the separator 140.

[0064] In the wiring module 10 and the wiring module 110, the separators 40, 140 may have the same product number (same size) or different product numbers (different sizes). When the separators 40, 140 have the same product number, the amount of compression of the separator 40 provided on the thick wiring member 30 is greater than the amount of compression of the separator 140 provided on the thin wiring member 130. When the separators 40, 140 have different product numbers, the inner diameter of the separator 140 provided on the thin wiring member 130 is smaller than the inner diameter of the separator 40 provided on the thick wiring member 30. The thickness of the separator 140 provided on the thin wiring member 130 is greater than the thickness of the separator 40 provided on the thick wiring member 30.

[0065] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the wiring module product group 100. As shown in FIG.

[0066] The wiring module product group 100 includes a plurality of wiring modules 10. For example, the wiring module product group 100 includes the above-described wiring module 10 and the above-described wiring module 110. One of the wiring modules 10, 110 is an example of a first wiring module, and the other is an example of a second wiring module. In the wiring modules 10, 110, the spacers 20 are of the same type, but the wiring members 30, 130 have different thicknesses, and the difference in thickness between the wiring members 30, 130 is absorbed by the separators 40, 140.

[0067] This allows the spacer 20 to be standardized regardless of the thickness of the wiring members 30, 130. The spacer 20 is a component that is larger than the separators 40, 140. If the spacer 20 can have a common product number, it is not necessary to store spacers 20 of multiple product numbers separately by product number, which has a significant effect of reducing space.

[0068] The wiring module product group 100 is suitable for cases where the type of floor structure is the same but the types of wiring members 30, 130 are different.
