[Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The wire harness module and method for manufacturing the wire harness module according to the present invention have the effect of enabling the proper routing of wiring materials into a resin-based vehicle reinforcement. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of a wire harness module according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a perspective view of the section taken along line II-II in Figure 1. [Figure 3]Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the II-II section in Figure 1 of a wire harness module according to a modified example of the embodiment 1. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the II-II section in Figure 1 of a wire harness module according to a modified example 2 of the embodiment. [Figure 5] Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating the manufacturing method of a wire harness module according to the embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. Furthermore, some of the components in the following embodiments may be easily substituted or substantially identical to those that are easily substituted by those skilled in the art.

[0011] [Embodiment 1] The wire harness module 1 of this embodiment, shown in Figures 1 and 2, includes a vehicle reinforcement 10, a conductive wiring material W, and double-sided tape 20. The wire harness module 1 is applied to a vehicle V such as an automobile and is used to connect various devices mounted on the vehicle V for power supply and signal communication. The wire harness module 1 may also include various other components such as grommets, electrical connection boxes, and fasteners.

[0012] The wiring material W is composed of, for example, a bundle of multiple electric wires. An electric wire consists of a conductor (core wire) made up of multiple conductive metal strands, with the outside covered by an insulating coating. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the core wire is approximately circular, and the cross-sectional shape of the insulating coating is approximately annular, resulting in an overall approximately circular cross-sectional shape. The wiring material W may also include communication cables such as shielded wires and optical communication cables. Furthermore, the wiring material W may include a main line section containing multiple electric wires and branch lines branching off from the main line section. The main line section can be composed of bundles of multiple electric wires that constitute power lines for power supply, communication lines for signal communication, grounding wires, etc.

[0013] The vehicle reinforcement 10 is made of resin. The vehicle reinforcement 10 can be manufactured, for example, by a resin injection molding machine. The vehicle reinforcement 10 is fixed to the body VB of the vehicle V. In this embodiment, the vehicle reinforcement 10 can be, for example, an instrument panel reinforcement positioned on the back side of the instrument panel (not shown) of the vehicle V.

[0014] In the following explanation, the vehicle longitudinal direction X typically refers to the overall length direction of the vehicle V, corresponding to the longitudinal direction. The vehicle width direction Y typically refers to the overall width direction of the vehicle V, corresponding to the left-right direction. The vehicle height direction Z typically refers to the vehicle height direction of the vehicle V. In addition, in the vehicle longitudinal direction X, the side on which the vehicle V moves forward may be called the front, and the side on which the vehicle V moves backward may be called the rear. In the vehicle width direction Y, the left side facing forward in the vehicle longitudinal direction X may be called the left, and the right side may be called the right. In the vehicle height direction Z, the upper side in the vertical direction may be called the top, and the opposite side may be called the bottom. The vehicle longitudinal direction X, the vehicle width direction Y, and the vehicle height direction Z intersect each other orthogonally.

[0015] As shown in Figure 1, the left and right ends 18 of the vehicle reinforcement 10 can be fixed to, for example, the left and right inner panels IP of the vehicle body VB. The vehicle reinforcement 10 is formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y. That is, the vehicle width direction Y is the direction of extension of the vehicle reinforcement 10.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the vehicle reinforcement 10 has a first support portion 11 and a second support portion 12. Both the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 are formed in a substantially plate-like shape and are elongated along the vehicle width direction Y (extension direction). The first support portion 11 includes a first support surface 11a that faces the vehicle longitudinal direction X (first width direction) which intersects perpendicularly with the vehicle width direction Y. Specifically, the rear side of the first support portion 11 in the vehicle longitudinal direction X is the first support surface 11a. Therefore, the first support surface 11a is formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y.

[0017] Similarly, the second support portion 12 is formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y, and faces the vehicle height direction Z (second width direction) which intersects perpendicularly to the vehicle width direction Y and the vehicle longitudinal direction X, and has a second support surface 12a that faces inward from the first support surface 11a. That is, the second support surface 12a is a surface facing upward in the vehicle height direction Z (height direction in the vehicle V). The second support portion 12 is provided below the first support portion 11 in the vehicle height direction Z. In other words, the second support portion 12 is provided below the cable member W in the vehicle height direction Z. The first support portion 11 is provided in front of the second support portion 12 in the vehicle longitudinal direction X. In other words, the first support portion 11 is provided in front of the cable member W in the vehicle longitudinal direction X.

[0018] The first support surface 11a is provided with a first double-sided tape 21 as the double-sided tape 20. The second support surface 12a is provided with a second double-sided tape 22 as the double-sided tape 20. And the cable laying material W is provided on the vehicle reinforcement 10 along the vehicle width direction Y in the extending direction of the cable laying material W. The cable laying material W is provided so that its outer periphery abuts on both the first double-sided tape 21 and the second double-sided tape 22. The cable laying material W is fixed to the vehicle reinforcement 10 by the double-sided tape 20.

[0019] The vehicle reinforcement 10 is provided with a cable laying material support surface 15 to which the cable laying material W is fixed. The cable laying material support surface 15 includes the first support surface 11a and the second support surface 12a. The cable laying material support surface 15 supports the cable laying material W via the double-sided tape 20 (the first double-sided tape 21, the second double-sided tape 22). In other words, the cable laying material support surface 15 is provided with the double-sided tape 20 for fixing the cable laying material W to the cable laying material support surface 15. The cable laying material support surface 15 is provided facing the space S on the upper side in the vehicle height direction Z of the second support portion 12 and on the rear side in the vehicle front-rear direction X of the first support portion 11.

[0020] The rear side in the vehicle front-rear direction X of the cable laying material support surface 15 will be open. Therefore, for example, when the vehicle reinforcement 10 is an in-pan reinforcement provided on the back side (the front side in the vehicle front-rear direction X) of the instrument panel, it is possible to facilitate the connection of the branch line portion of the cable laying material W to devices such as meters provided on the instrument panel.

[0021] The vehicle reinforcement 10 is formed in a substantially L shape as viewed from the vehicle width direction Y by the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12. The first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 are connected substantially orthogonally as viewed from the vehicle width direction Y. The portion where the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 are connected is defined as the connection portion 13. The first support surface 11a of the first support portion 11 and the second support surface 12a of the second support portion 12 are provided so as to face inward (that is, the direction inside the substantially L shape). The first support surface 11a and the second support surface 12a are connected so as to intersect orthogonally.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1, the cable support surface 15 of the vehicle reinforcement 10 can be provided with a cable fixing member FW, such as a clamp, to fix the cable W to the vehicle reinforcement 10, at approximately the center of the vehicle width direction Y of the vehicle reinforcement 10. The cable W is positioned and fixed on the cable support surface 15 with the position fixed by the cable fixing member FW as the reference position. Considering the intersection of the vehicle width direction Y of the vehicle reinforcement 10, this reference position can be the center position in the vehicle width direction Y of the vehicle V. In addition, the cable fixing member FW can be provided at the left and right ends of the vehicle reinforcement 10 in the vehicle width direction Y. Setting a reference position makes it easier to route the cable W to connectors and other equipment. Known types of cable fixing members FW can be used. For example, a clamp used as a cable fixing member FW can have an anchor and a cable fixing part provided on this anchor that can wrap a band or tape member around the cable W. Alternatively, all or part of the cable fixing member FW can be integrally formed with the vehicle reinforcement 10, which is a resin molded product, during the molding process.

[0023] [Example 1] Next, a modified example 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 3. In this modified example, the wire harness module 1A is provided with a curved connecting surface 13a on the inner portion of the approximately L-shaped vehicle reinforcement 10A, and a single sheet of double-sided tape 20 is provided extending from the first support surface 11a through the curved connecting surface 13a to the second support surface 12a. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the same components and locations as in the above-described embodiment, and their descriptions are omitted or simplified.

[0024] In other words, the connecting portion 13 where the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 are connected has a curved connecting surface 13a that curves to connect the first support surface 11a and the second support surface 12a. The cable support surface 15 of the vehicle reinforcement 10A includes the first support surface 11a, the second support surface 12a, and the curved connecting surface 13a. In this modified example, the double-sided tape 20 is provided on the cable support surface 15, including the curved connecting surface 13a.

[0025] The cable guide W is in contact with the double-sided tape 20 along the circumferential direction of the cable guide W at the cable guide support surface 15 corresponding to the curved connection surface 13a. That is, the radius of curvature r of the curved connection surface 13a is set to correspond to the outer diameter DW of the cable guide W.

[0026] [Differentiation 2] Next, a modified example 2 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 4. The vehicle reinforcement 10B of the wire harness module 1B in this modified example is formed in a substantially L-shape, similar to the vehicle reinforcement 10 of the wire harness module 1 in the above-described embodiment. On the other hand, the length in the vehicle longitudinal direction X at the lower second support portion 12 of the vehicle reinforcement 10B in this modified example is formed to be longer than the length in the vehicle longitudinal direction X at the lower second support portion 12 of the vehicle reinforcement 10 in the above-described embodiment. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the same members and parts as in the above-described embodiment, and their descriptions are omitted or simplified.

[0027] In the above-described embodiment, the wiring member W was formed with a substantially circular cross-section, but in this modified example, the wiring member WB of the wire harness module 1B is formed with a substantially flattened shape. Specifically, the wiring member WB is made substantially flattened so as to form two flattened surfaces WB1 oriented in the vehicle height direction Z. The wiring member WB can be formed, for example, by arranging wires of substantially the same diameter with their radial directions aligned. The two flattened surfaces WB1 are provided opposite each other along the vehicle height direction Z. In addition, the wiring member WB has two side surfaces WB2 oriented in the vehicle longitudinal direction X. The two side surfaces WB2 are provided opposite each other along the vehicle longitudinal direction X.

[0028] The lower flat surface WB1 of the cable guide WB in the vehicle height direction Z is in contact with the second double-sided tape 22 provided on the second support surface 12a of the second support part 12. In addition, the front side surface WB2 of the cable guide WB in the vehicle longitudinal direction X is in contact with the first double-sided tape 21 provided on the first support surface 11a of the first support part 11.

[0029] [Manufacturing method for wire harness modules] Next, the manufacturing methods for wire harness modules 1, 1A, and 1B will be described based on Figure 5.

[0030] Preparation step (step S1): Prepare resin vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B that are fixed to the body VB of the vehicle V. These reinforcements include a first support portion 11 formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y and including a first support surface 11a facing the vehicle front-rear direction X, and a second support portion 12 formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y and facing the vehicle height direction Z, and including a second support surface 12a that is provided so as to face inward from the first support surface 11a.

[0031] Double-sided tape application process (step S2): The double-sided tape 20 is applied to the support surface 15 of the vehicle reinforcement 10, 10A, 10B, including the first support surface 11a and the second support surface 12a, without removing the release paper. As described above, the first double-sided tape 21 and the second double-sided tape 22 can be applied to the first support surface 11a and the second support surface 12a respectively, or a single sheet of double-sided tape 20 can be applied from the first support surface 11a to the second support surface 12a. Alternatively, the double-sided tape 20 can be divided into three or more sheets and applied.

[0032] In the double-sided tape application step (step S2), after applying the double-sided tape 20 to the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B, or before applying the double-sided tape 20 to the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B, the above-mentioned cable fixing member FW (see Figure 1) for setting the reference position of the cable W relative to the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B can be provided on the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B. It is preferable to fix the cable W to the cable fixing member after applying the double-sided tape 20 to the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B.

[0033] Cable securing step (step S3): The release paper of the double-sided tape 20 is peeled off, and the cable securing material W and the double-sided tape 20 are brought into contact to secure the cable securing material W to the cable securing material support surface 15. More specifically, for example, in the cable securing step (step S3), the cable securing material W is placed on the double-sided tape 20 that still has the release paper peeled off, and the cable securing material W and the double-sided tape 20 are brought into close contact via the release paper. Then, while peeling the release paper from between the cable securing material W and the double-sided tape 20, the cable securing material W is brought into contact with the adhesive surface (or tack surface) of the double-sided tape 20 from which the release paper has been peeled off, thereby securing the cable securing material W.

[0034] The wire harness modules 1, 1A, and 1B manufactured in this manner can be attached to the body VB of a vehicle V with the wiring material W already routed to the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B. For example, when routing the wiring material after the vehicle reinforcements have been attached to the body VB of the vehicle V, it may be necessary to insert hands or tools into a narrow space to route the wiring, which can reduce work efficiency. However, with the wire harness modules 1, 1A, and 1B of this embodiment, the wiring can be routed before the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B are attached to the body VB of the vehicle V, thus improving the work efficiency of the wiring.

[0035] The wire harness modules 1, 1A, and 1B described above include a first support portion 11 formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y, which is the extending direction, and facing the vehicle longitudinal direction X, which is a first width direction intersecting the vehicle width direction Y, and a second support portion 12 formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y, facing the vehicle height direction Z, which is a second width direction intersecting the vehicle width direction Y and the vehicle longitudinal direction X, and having a second support portion 12a provided so as to face inward with the first support portion 11a, and are resin vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B fixed to the body VB of the vehicle V, a double-sided tape 20 provided on the wiring material support surface 15 including the first support portion 11a and the second support portion 12a, and fixing the wiring materials W and WB to the wiring material support surface 15, and wiring materials W and WB that are in contact with the double-sided tape 20 and routed along the vehicle width direction Y.

[0036] This allows the wiring materials W and WB to be easily routed and fixed to the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B by simply attaching them to the double-sided tape 20, thus enabling the wiring material W to be properly routed to the resin vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B. In other words, since the wiring materials W and WB are fixed to the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of abnormal noise caused by collisions between the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B and the wiring materials W and WB due to vibrations during vehicle V operation. Furthermore, there is no need to provide sound-absorbing members or other components to reduce such abnormal noise.

[0037] The first support surface 11a of the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B faces the vehicle's longitudinal direction X, and the second support surface 12a faces the vehicle's height direction Z. The cable material W is fixed to the double-sided tape 20 on the first support surface 11a, thereby restricting its movement in the vehicle's height direction Z (up and down movement), and is also fixed to the double-sided tape 20 on the second support surface 12a, thereby restricting its movement in the vehicle's longitudinal direction X (forward and backward movement).

[0038] Furthermore, in the vehicle reinforcement 10A of the wire harness module 1A, a curved connecting surface 13a is formed at the connecting portion 13 where the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 are connected, connecting the first support surface 11a and the second support surface 12a in a curved manner, and the cable support surface 15 includes the curved connecting surface 13a. As a result, the cable W, which has a substantially circular cross-section, is in contact with the double-sided tape 20 along the outer circumference of the cable W, so that the cable W can be fixed to the cable support surface 15 more securely.

[0039] Furthermore, the second support portion 12 is provided below the first support portion 11 in the vehicle height direction Z, with its second support surface 12a facing upward in the vehicle height direction (vehicle height direction Z, second width direction) on the vehicle V. As a result, the second support surface 12a of the second support portion 12 can support the cable member W from below in accordance with the direction of gravity, thereby enabling more reliable support and fixing of the cable member W by the second support surface 12a.

[0040] Furthermore, in the vehicle reinforcement 10B of the wire harness module 1B, the cable material WB is formed in a flat shape having a flattened surface WB1, and the flattened surface WB1 abuts against the double-sided tape 20 (second double-sided tape 22) on the second support surface 12a. As a result, the flattened surface WB1, which has a large surface area, can be brought into contact with the second double-sided tape 22, so that the cable material WB can be fixed to the vehicle reinforcement 10B more reliably.

[0041] Furthermore, the manufacturing method for wire harness modules 1, 1A, and 1B includes a first support portion 11 formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y, which is the extending direction, and facing the vehicle longitudinal direction X, which is a first width direction intersecting the vehicle width direction Y, and a second support portion 12 formed in an elongated shape along the vehicle width direction Y, facing the vehicle height direction Z, which is a second width direction intersecting the vehicle width direction Y and the vehicle longitudinal direction X, and provided so as to face inward with the first support portion 11a, and a double-sided tape application step (step S2) in which double-sided tape 20 is applied to the wire harness support surface 15 including the first support portion 11a and the second support portion 12a of the resin vehicle reinforcement 10, 10A, and 10B fixed to the body VB of the vehicle V without removing the release paper, and a wire harness fixing step (step S3) in which the release paper is removed and the wire harness W and the double-sided tape 20 come into contact.

[0042] This allows the wiring material W to be routed to the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B by bringing the wiring material W into contact with the double-sided tape 20 from which the release paper has been peeled off. This makes the wiring work easier while securely fixing the wiring material W, and thus allows the wiring material W to be properly routed to the resin vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B.

[0043] Furthermore, in the cable securing process (step S3), the cable securing material W is placed on the double-sided tape 20, which still has its release paper attached, and the release paper is peeled off from between the cable securing material W and the double-sided tape 20 to bring the cable securing material W and the double-sided tape 20 into contact. This allows the cable securing material W to be brought into contact with the double-sided tape 20 even more efficiently and reliably.

[0044] The wire harness module and the method for manufacturing the wire harness module according to the embodiments of the present invention described above are not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims.

[0045] In the above description, the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B were described as instrument panel reinforcements, but they can also be used as reinforcements for other parts of the vehicle V. Furthermore, the first support portion 11 of the vehicle reinforcement 10 is provided in front of the second support portion 12, and the second support portion 12 is provided below the first support portion 11, but other positional relationships are also possible; for example, the first support portion 11 can be provided behind the second support portion 12 so that the cable support surface 15 faces forward. Also, the vehicle reinforcements 10, 10A, and 10B are formed in a roughly L-shape when viewed from the vehicle width direction Y, but they can also be shaped in ways other than a roughly L-shape. Additionally, various types of double-sided tape, such as adhesive or tacky types, can be used for the double-sided tape 20.

[0046] The wire harness module and the method for manufacturing the wire harness module according to this embodiment may be constructed by appropriately combining the components of the embodiments and modified examples described above. [Explanation of symbols]
