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

[0010] The vehicle fixing device of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0011] (1) A vehicle fixing device comprising: a harness mounting portion attached to a wire harness; and a vehicle fixing portion connected to the harness mounting portion and engaging with an engaging hole in a panel of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle fixing portion includes a base portion extending along a plane including a first direction and a second direction that are perpendicular to each other; a pillar portion extending from the base portion along a third direction that intersects with the plane; a locking portion including a locking piece protruding from the tip of the pillar portion toward the base portion; and four leaf spring portions scattered on all four sides of the pillar portion and protruding from the base portion toward the tip side of the pillar portion, wherein the locking portion and the four leaf spring portions are formed in exclusive positions when viewed from the third direction.

[0012] According to the vehicle fixing device of (1), the locking portion and the leaf spring portion are formed in exclusive positions, so the vehicle fixing portion can be formed by die-cutting along the third direction. This makes die-cutting easy for the vehicle fixing device. In addition, the leaf spring portions on all four sides of the pillar portion make it less likely for the vehicle fixing portion to rattle when locked into the locking hole.

[0013] (2) In the vehicle fixture of (1), the four leaf spring portions may include two first leaf spring portions spaced apart along the first direction and two second leaf spring portions spaced apart along the second direction, and the corners of the two first leaf spring portions may be rounded, and a connecting portion of the base portion with the column portion may be located between the corner and the second leaf spring portion. This allows the connecting portion to be larger by the amount of rounding of the corners of the first leaf spring portions, making it easier to prevent a decrease in strength of the connecting portion due to the provision of leaf spring portions on all four sides. Furthermore, the connecting portion between the first leaf spring portion and the base portion can be larger than when the first leaf spring portions do not have the rounded corners and the portions closer to the base end than the rounded corners. This increases the strength of the first leaf spring portion.

[0014] (3) In the vehicle fastener of (2), the pillar portion may have a dimension along the first direction that is shorter than a dimension along the second direction, and the tip edge of the first leaf spring portion may be longer than the tip edge of the second leaf spring portion. In this case, even if the corners of the first leaf spring portion are rounded, it is easy to ensure the contact length between the tip edge of the first leaf spring portion and the panel.

[0015] (4) In the vehicle fixing device of (3), the locking pieces may be provided as a pair spaced apart in the second direction. In this case, a pair of locking pieces is provided at a position corresponding to the second leaf spring portion, and no locking piece is provided at a position corresponding to the first leaf spring portion. Even in this case, the long leading edge of the first leaf spring portion makes it easy to suppress rattle even without the locking pieces.

[0016] (5) In the vehicle fixture of any one of (1) to (4), the harness mounting portion may have a protector shape with a housing groove formed therein for housing the wire harness. This allows the vehicle fixture portion integrated with the protector to be easily removed and to be less likely to rattle.

[0017] (6) In the vehicle fixture of (5), the vehicle fixing portion may be the only fixing portion that fixes the harness mounting portion having a protector shape to the vehicle. If the vehicle fixture has no other fixing portions than the vehicle fixing portion, it is desirable that the vehicle fixing portion be able to firmly fix the vehicle. Even in this case, the vehicle fixing portion can be firmly fixed to the vehicle because the leaf spring portions on all four sides make the vehicle fixing portion less likely to rattle.

[0018] (7) In the vehicle fixing device of (5) or (6), the wall of the accommodating groove may have a laterally extending portion that extends to a lateral position along a direction intersecting the third direction relative to the locking portion. If the wall of the accommodating groove has a laterally extending portion and the die-cutting direction of the vehicle fixing portion is along a direction intersecting the third direction, the laterally extending portion may interfere with die-cutting. In contrast, since the vehicle fixing portion can be formed by die-cutting along the third direction, the laterally extending portion is less likely to interfere with die-cutting.

[0019] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the vehicle fixing device 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.

[0020] [Embodiment 1] The vehicle fixing device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described below. FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing the vehicle fixing device 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the vehicle fixing device 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing the vehicle fixing device 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 5 is a front view showing the vehicle fixing device 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 6 is a side view showing the vehicle fixing device 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in FIG. 3. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII in FIG. 3. In each drawing, an X direction, a Y direction, and a Z direction are shown as three mutually orthogonal directions. The X direction corresponds to the first direction, the Y direction corresponds to the second direction, and the Z direction corresponds to the third direction. In addition, in some drawings, a wire harness 80 and a panel 90 with a locking hole 92 are depicted by virtual lines.

[0021] The vehicle fixture 10 is a member that fixes the wire harness 80 to the vehicle. The vehicle fixture 10 includes a harness mounting portion 20 and a vehicle fixing portion 30. The vehicle fixture 10 is, for example, a resin molded product. The vehicle fixture 10 is, for example, an injection molded product made using a mold.

[0022] The harness mounting portion 20 is attached to the wire harness 80. Here, the harness mounting portion 20 has a protector shape with an accommodating groove 21 formed therein. The wire harness 80 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 21. The harness mounting portion 20 may be formed in a shape other than a protector shape. For example, the harness mounting portion 20 may be formed in a plate shape or the like.

[0023] The storage groove 21 extends from a first end 25 to a second end 26. The storage groove 21 has a three-dimensional portion. The first end 25 extends along the X direction. The second end 26 extends in a direction that intersects with both the Y direction and the Z direction in the YZ plane. The storage groove 21 is bent between the first end 25 and the second end 26. At one bent portion, the storage groove 21 bends in both the Y direction and the Z direction from the first end 25 toward the second end 26. The portion including the bent portion forms the three-dimensional portion.

[0024] A bottom wall 22 and at least one side wall 23 are provided as wall portions that form the inner surface of protector-shaped housing groove 21. The portion surrounded by bottom wall 22 and at least one side wall 23 constitutes housing groove 21. Here, at least one side wall 23 has a pair of side walls 23. The pair of side walls 23 protrude from both side edges of bottom wall 22.

[0025] At first end 25, the height of one side wall 23A of the pair of side walls 23 is lower than the height of the other side wall 23B. At the bent portion, side wall 23A is located on the inner circumferential side, and side wall 23B is located on the outer circumferential side. Second end 26 has a portion where the heights of side wall 23A and side wall 23B are approximately the same.

[0026] The harness mounting portion 20 is provided with a first mounting portion 27 and a second mounting portion 28. The first mounting portion 27 is a portion that is attached to the wire harness 80 at the first end portion 25. The second mounting portion 28 is a portion that is attached to the wire harness 80 at the second end portion 26. Here, each of the first mounting portion 27 and the second mounting portion 28 is configured to be attached by binding a binding member together with the wire harness 80. Protrusions that prevent the binding member from coming loose are provided at the tip of the first end portion 25 and the second end portion 26.

[0027] Here, it is assumed that the binding member at the first mounting portion 27 is adhesive tape, and the binding member at the second mounting portion 28 is a cable tie. The first mounting portion 27 is configured to be attached together with the wire harness 80 by wrapping adhesive tape around it. The second mounting portion 28 is configured to be attached together with the wire harness 80 by wrapping a cable tie around it. At the second end 26, an insertion hole is formed in the outer surface of the side wall 23B. A band portion of the cable tie is passed through the insertion hole. At the first end 25, no insertion hole is formed. The first mounting portion 27 and the second mounting portion 28 may both be configured to be attached using adhesive tape. The first mounting portion 27 and the second mounting portion 28 may both be configured to be attached using a cable tie. The first mounting portion 27 or the second mounting portion 28 may be attached using an attachment method other than a binding member.

[0028] In the first mounting portion 27 and the second mounting portion 28, one of the pair of side walls 23 is provided and the other is not provided. This makes it easier for the binding member to come into contact with the wire harness 80. In the first mounting portion 27, the side wall 23B is provided and the side wall 23A is not provided. In the second mounting portion 28, the side wall 23A is provided and the side wall 23B is not provided. In the first mounting portion 27 and the second mounting portion 28, both of the pair of side walls 23 may be provided. Furthermore, in the first mounting portion 27 and the second mounting portion 28, the side wall 23 that is not provided may be the same.

[0029] Here, the harness attachment portion 20 does not have a lid that closes the upper opening of the accommodating groove 21. The harness attachment portion 20 may have a lid that closes the upper opening of the accommodating groove 21.

[0030] The vehicle fixing part 30 is engaged with a locking hole 92 in a panel 90 of the vehicle. The vehicle fixing part 30 includes a base part 32, a locking part 36, and four leaf spring parts 40. The vehicle fixing part 30 is also called a clip or a clamp.

[0031] The base portion 32 extends along a plane (here, the XY plane) that includes a first direction (here, the X direction) and a second direction (here, the Y direction) that are orthogonal to each other. Here, the base portion 32 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the Z direction.

[0032] The locking portion 36 includes a pillar portion 37 and a locking piece 38. The pillar portion 37 extends from the base portion 32 along a third direction (here, the Z direction) intersecting the plane (here, the XY plane). Here, the pillar portion 37 is provided in the center of the base portion 32. The locking piece 38 protrudes from the tip of the pillar portion 37 toward the base portion 32. Here, the locking piece 38 protrudes from the pillar portion 37 in the Y direction. Here, a pair of locking pieces 38 is provided. The pair of locking pieces 38 are spaced apart in the second direction (the Y direction). The pair of locking pieces 38 protrude in opposite directions from the pillar portion 37. Here, no locking piece 38 protruding in the X direction from the pillar portion 37 is provided. A locking piece 38 protruding in the X direction from the pillar portion 37 may be provided.

[0033] The four leaf spring portions 40 are scattered on all four sides of the pillar portion 37. The four leaf spring portions 40 protrude from the base portion 32 toward the tip side of the pillar portion 37. The leaf spring portions 40 and the pillar portion 37 rise in the same direction from the base portion 32 along the Z direction. In each leaf spring portion 40, the tip portion 42 is closer to the pillar portion 37 than the base portion 41.

[0034] The four leaf spring portions 40 include two first leaf spring portions 40A and two second leaf spring portions 40B. The two first leaf spring portions 40A are spaced apart from each other in the X direction. A locking portion 36 is located between the two first leaf spring portions 40A in the X direction. In the X direction, the distance between the tip ends 42 of the two first leaf spring portions 40A is smaller than the distance between the base ends 41 of the two first leaf spring portions 40A. The two second leaf spring portions 40B are spaced apart from each other in the Y direction. A locking portion 36 is located between the two second leaf spring portions 40B in the Y direction. In the Y direction, the distance between the tip ends 42 of the two second leaf spring portions 40B is smaller than the distance between the base ends 41 of the two second leaf spring portions 40B.

[0035] When viewed from the Z direction, the locking portion 36 and the four leaf spring portions 40 are formed in exclusive positions. The locking portion 36 and the four leaf spring portions 40 are positioned so as not to overlap one another in the Z direction. The locking portion 36 and the first leaf spring portion 40A are spaced apart in the X direction. The locking portion 36 and the second leaf spring portion 40B are spaced apart in the Y direction.

[0036] The base portion 32 has through holes 33 formed on all four sides of the portion where the column portion 37 is provided. The through holes 33 penetrate the base portion 32 in the Z direction. The tip portions 42 of the leaf spring portions 40 and the locking pieces 38 are provided so as to block part of the through holes 33 when viewed from the Z direction. When viewed from the Z direction, the portion of the through hole 33 where the leaf spring portions 40 and the locking pieces 38 are not provided forms a slit-like shape that surrounds three sides of the leaf spring portion 40 and three sides of the locking pieces 38. Of the four through holes 33, two through holes 33 corresponding to two first leaf spring portions 40A are referred to as first through holes 33A. Of the four through holes 33, two through holes 33 corresponding to two second leaf spring portions 40B are referred to as second through holes 33B. The locking pieces 38 do not block the first through holes 33A. The locking pieces 38 block the second through holes 33B.

[0037] In the first through hole 33A, when viewed from the Z direction, the portion of the first through hole 33A where the first plate spring portion 40A is not provided is a U-shaped slit. In the second through hole 33B, when viewed from the Z direction, the portion of the through hole 33B where the second plate spring portion 40B and the locking piece 38 are not provided is an H-shaped slit.

[0038] Here, lightening holes are formed on the surface of the base portion 32 opposite to the side from which the pillar portion 37 protrudes. The lightening holes are formed at the four corners of the rectangular base portion 32. The lightening holes are not through holes 33. Here, lightening holes are also formed in the base portion 32 at a position corresponding to the pillar portion 37 (the center of the base portion 32).

[0039] Here, the dimension of the pillar portion 37 along the first direction (X direction) is shorter than the dimension along the second direction (Y direction). For example, the locking hole 92 corresponding to the vehicle fixing portion 30 is formed as an elongated hole that is longer in the Y direction than in the X direction. The locking hole 92 may also be formed in a circular shape.

[0040] The corners 44A of the two first leaf spring portions 40A are rounded. Hereinafter, the corners 44A of the first leaf spring portion 40A may be referred to as rounded corners 44A. The tip portion 42 of the first leaf spring portion 40A includes two rounded corners 44A and one straight portion. The straight portion is located between the two rounded corners 44A along the X direction. The edges of the rounded corners 44A connect the side edges of the first leaf spring portion 40A to the edges of the straight portions. The side edges of the first leaf spring portion 40A are located outward from the pillar portions 37 along the X direction.

[0041] The corners of the two second leaf spring portions 40B are not rounded. The corners of the two second leaf spring portions 40B may also be rounded. If the corners of the second leaf spring portions 40B are rounded, the radius of curvature of the corners of the second leaf spring portions 40B may be smaller than the radius of curvature of the rounded corners 44A of the first leaf spring portion 40A.

[0042] For example, in the Y direction, the dimension of the first plate spring portion 40A is larger than the dimension of the pillar portion 37. For example, in the Y direction, the dimension of the first plate spring portion 40A is smaller than the distance between the outer surfaces of the pair of locking pieces 38. For example, in the Y direction, the dimension of the straight portion of the first plate spring portion 40A is the same as or smaller than the dimension of the pillar portion 37. For example, in the X direction, the dimension of the second plate spring portion 40B is smaller than the dimension of the pillar portion 37. For example, in the X direction, the dimension of the second plate spring portion 40B is the same as the dimension of the locking pieces 38.

[0043] The tip edge 43A of the first plate spring portion 40A is longer than the tip edge 43B of the second plate spring portion 40B. The length of the tip edge 43A of the first plate spring portion 40A is the length of the edge of the straight portion in the X direction. The length of the tip edge 43B of the second plate spring portion 40B is the length of the tip edge 43B of the second plate spring portion 40B in the Y direction. The dimension of the edge of the straight portion in the X direction is larger than the dimension of the tip edge 43B of the second plate spring portion 40B in the Y direction.

[0044] The base portion 32 has a connecting portion 34 with the pillar portion 37. Here, two first through holes 33A and two second through holes 33B are alternately arranged around an axis along the Z direction. The portion located between the first through holes 33A and the second through holes 33B forms the connecting portion 34. Therefore, here, four connecting portions 34 are provided on the base portion 32. The connecting portion 34 is located between the rounded corner portion 44A and the second leaf spring portion 40B. Here, the dimension of the second through hole 33B in the Y direction is smaller than the dimension of the pillar portion 37. Both ends of the pillar portion 37 along the Y direction protrude outward beyond the second through hole 33B. Both ends of the pillar portion 37 along the Y direction are connected to the connecting portion 34. The connecting portion 34 protrudes in the X direction from both ends of the pillar portion 37 along the Y direction.

[0045] One connecting portion 34 faces both the first through hole 33A and the second through hole 33B. Therefore, one connecting portion 34 has an edge portion 35A that forms the periphery of the first through hole 33A and an edge portion 35B that forms the periphery of the second through hole 33B. The edge portion 35A is formed in a curved shape corresponding to the rounded corner portion 44A. The edge portion 35A extends in an arc shape from the pillar portion 37 to the outer edge of the base portion 32. The edge portion 35B extends linearly from the pillar portion 37 to the outer edge of the base portion 32 in the Y direction. As a result, the distance between the edge portion 35A and the edge portion 35B in the X direction increases as the distance from the pillar portion 37 in the Y direction increases. This increases the strength of the connecting portion 34.

[0046] The vehicle fixing portion 30 is connected to the harness mounting portion 20. Here, the vehicle fixing portion 30 is connected to the harness mounting portion 20 via an arm 50. The arm 50 protrudes in the Y direction from the side wall 23B at a middle portion along the extension direction of the accommodating groove 21. The arm 50 offsets the accommodating groove 21 and the locking portion 36. When viewed from the Z direction, the wire harness 80 and the locking portion 36 are offset along a direction intersecting the extension direction of the wire harness 80. When viewed from the Z direction, the locking portion 36 may be provided on the path of the wire harness 80. The locking portion 36 may be provided on the outer surface of the wall portion of the accommodating groove 21.

[0047] The wall of the accommodation groove 21 has a laterally extending portion 24 that extends to a lateral position along a direction intersecting the Z direction with respect to the locking portion 36. Here, as shown in FIG. 5 , the second end 26 is located to the side of the locking portion 36 along the X direction. The wall forming the second end 26 is the laterally extending portion 24. The laterally extending portion 24 passes to the side of the locking portion 36 by extending in a direction intersecting the XY plane.

[0048] 1, the vehicle fixing part 30 is the only fixing part that fixes the protector-shaped harness mounting part 20 to the vehicle. The harness mounting part 20 does not have any other parts that are fixed to the vehicle other than the vehicle fixing part 30.

[0049] The shape of the vehicle fixing part 30 is set so that there is no undercut shape along the Z direction. This allows the vehicle fixing part 30 to be easily formed simply by cutting out the part from a mold along the Z direction. An undercut shape is a shape in which there is a hollow portion between resin parts in the mold cutting direction.

[0050] Here, the vehicle fixture 10, including the harness mounting portion 20, is configured so that there are no undercut shapes along the Z direction. For example, in the harness mounting portion 20, a pair of side walls 23 are spaced apart in a direction intersecting the Z direction. Also, for example, holes formed in the harness mounting portion 20, such as insertion holes for cable ties, penetrate in the Z direction. This allows the vehicle fixture 10 to be easily manufactured simply by punching along the Z direction.

[0051] The locking portion 36 is inserted into the locking hole 92 from the tip of the post portion 37. Before insertion, the distance between the outer surfaces of the pair of locking pieces 38 is larger than the distance between the locking holes 92. When the locking portion 36 is inserted into the locking hole 92 and the pair of locking pieces 38 contact the periphery of the locking hole 92, the pair of locking pieces 38 elastically deform so that the distance between their outer surfaces narrows. This allows the pair of locking pieces 38 to pass through the locking hole 92. After passing through the locking hole 92, the pair of locking pieces 38 elastically return to their original shape and lock onto one main surface of the panel 90. At this time, the tip edges 43A and 43B of the first leaf spring portion 40A and the tip edges 43A and 43B of the second leaf spring portion 40B contact the other main surface of the panel 90. Each leaf spring portion 40 is pressed against the other main surface of the panel 90 and bends toward the through-hole 33 in the Z direction. 7 and 8 show the leaf spring portion 40 before it is deflected.

[0052] <Effects, etc.> According to the vehicle fixing device 10 configured as described above, the locking portion 36 and the leaf spring portion 40 are formed in exclusive positions, so the vehicle fixing portion 30 can be formed by die-cutting along the Z direction. This makes it easy to die-cut the vehicle fixing device 10. Furthermore, since the leaf spring portions 40 are provided on all four sides of the pillar portion 37, the vehicle fixing portion 30 is less likely to rattle when locked in the locking hole 92.

[0053] The four leaf springs 40 include two first leaf springs 40A spaced apart in the X direction and two second leaf springs 40B spaced apart in the Y direction. The corners 44A of the two first leaf springs 40A are rounded, and the connecting portion 34 of the base 32 with the column 37 is located between the rounded corners 44A and the second leaf springs 40B. This allows the connecting portion 34 to be larger by the amount of rounding of the corners 44A of the first leaf springs 40A, thereby making it easier to prevent a decrease in strength of the connecting portion 34 due to the provision of leaf springs 40 on all four sides. Furthermore, the connecting portion between the first leaf springs 40A and the base 32 can be larger than in a case where the rounded corners 44A and the portion of the first leaf spring 40A closer to the base end than the rounded corners 44A are not present. This increases the strength of the first leaf springs 40A.

[0054] Furthermore, the dimension of the pillar portion 37 along the X direction is shorter than the dimension along the Y direction, and the tip edge 43A of the first leaf spring portion 40A is longer than the tip edge 43B of the second leaf spring portion 40B. In this case, even if the corners 44A of the first leaf spring portion 40A are rounded, it is easy to ensure the contact length between the tip edge 43A of the first leaf spring portion 40A and the panel 90.

[0055] Furthermore, a pair of locking pieces 38 are provided spaced apart in the Y direction. In this case, a pair of locking pieces 38 are provided at positions corresponding to the second plate spring portion 40B, and no locking piece 38 is provided at a position corresponding to the first plate spring portion 40A. Even in this case, because the tip edge portion 43A of the first plate spring portion 40A is long, rattle can be easily suppressed even on the side without the locking pieces 38.

[0056] The harness mounting portion 20 has a protector shape in which an accommodating groove 21 is formed to accommodate the wire harness 80. This allows the vehicle fixing portion 30 integrated with the protector to be easily removed and to be less likely to rattle.

[0057] Furthermore, the vehicle fixing portion 30 is the only fixing portion that fixes the protector-shaped harness mounting portion 20 to the vehicle. Here, if the vehicle fixing device 10 has no other fixing portions other than the vehicle fixing portion 30, it is desirable that the vehicle fixing portion 30 can be firmly fixed to the vehicle. Even in this case, the vehicle fixing portion 30 can be firmly fixed to the vehicle because the leaf spring portions 40 on all four sides make the vehicle fixing portion 30 less likely to rattle.

[0058] Furthermore, the wall of the accommodating groove 21 has a laterally extending portion 24 that extends to a lateral position along a direction intersecting the Z direction with respect to the locking portion 36. Here, if the wall of the accommodating groove 21 has the laterally extending portion 24 and the die-cutting direction of the vehicle fixing portion 30 is along a direction intersecting the Z direction, the laterally extending portion 24 may interfere with die-cutting. In contrast, here, the vehicle fixing portion 30 can be formed by die-cutting along the Z direction, so the laterally extending portion 24 is less likely to interfere with die-cutting.
