Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a harness clip and a method for attaching a harness clip. [Background Art]

[0002] Conventionally, harness clips for attaching a wire harness to a structure such as a vehicle body have been known. Patent Document 1 discloses this type of harness clip. The harness clip (band clip) of Patent Document 1 includes a pair of band portions, and each band portion has a locked protrusion that is locked to a corresponding band fixing portion. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2023-131324 [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0004] When attaching the harness clip of Patent Document 1 described above to a wire harness, it is necessary to lock the pair of band portions to the corresponding band fixing portions respectively, and this work is somewhat complicated. In addition, costs related to the pair of band portions are also required. That is, the harness clip of Patent Document 1 has room for improvement in terms of cost and workability.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a harness clip that is low in cost and easy to attach. Means for Solving the Problem and Effect

[0006] The problem to be solved by the present invention is as described above. Next, means for solving the problem and effects thereof will be described.

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a harness clip having the following configuration is provided. That is, the harness clip is for attaching a wire harness to an object. The harness clip comprises a body and a cover. The body is attached to the wire harness with a fastening member. The cover is detachable from the body. The body can be attached to the wire harness with the fastening member when the cover is not attached. By attaching the cover to the body attached to the wire harness, a portion of the fastening member is positioned between the body and the cover. The cover has an anchor that engages with the object.

[0008] This allows the fastening member to be easily wrapped around the wire harness from the outside by removing the cover when attaching the main unit to the wire harness. Then, by attaching the cover to the main unit with the fastening member wrapped around it, the attachment of the harness clip to the wire harness can be completed. Before or after this attachment, the anchor of the cover is engaged with the object, and the wire harness is attached to the object via the harness clip. This series of attachment operations is easy because it requires only one fastening member. It is also low cost because only one fastening member is needed. Furthermore, since the cover with the anchor is separate from the main unit, if different sizes of anchors are required depending on the type of object, only the cover needs to be replaced.

[0009] In the harness clip described above, it is preferable that at least a portion of the anchor is aligned with the portion of the fastening member in the direction opposite to the cover and the main body when the cover is attached to the main body.

[0010] As a result, with the cover attached to the main body, a portion of the fastening member is positioned near the anchor. Therefore, even if the force acting on the wire harness is transmitted to the harness clip via the fastening member, the force can be evenly distributed at the engagement point between the object and the anchor.

[0011] In the harness clip described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, the main body has a first surface, a second surface, and a pair of protruding wall portions. The first surface faces the wire harness when the main body is attached to the wire harness. The second surface is the surface opposite to the first surface. The pair of protruding wall portions protrude from the second surface and face each other. The part of the fastening member is positioned between the pair of protruding wall portions when the main body is attached to the wire harness.

[0012] As a result, with the main body attached to the wire harness, the movement of the fastening member is restricted in the opposing direction of the pair of protruding walls. This restricts the relative movement between the harness clip and the wire harness in that opposing direction.

[0013] In the harness clip described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, the cover has a pair of protruding ribs that face each other in a direction intersecting the opposing direction of the pair of protruding wall portions. A portion of the fastening member is positioned between the pair of protruding ribs when the cover is attached to the main body.

[0014] As a result, with the cover attached to the main body, the movement of the fastening member is restricted in the opposing direction of the pair of protruding ribs. This restricts the relative movement between the harness clip and the wire harness in that opposing direction.

[0015] In the harness clip described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, the cover has a pair of first engaging portions that are positioned on either side of the anchor. The main body has a pair of second engaging portions that engage with the pair of first engaging portions when the cover is attached to the main body.

[0016] This allows the cover to be maintained in the attached state by the engagement between the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion.

[0017] In the harness clip described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, the engagement between one of the first engaging portions and one of the second engaging portions, and the engagement between the other first engaging portion and the other second engaging portion, are both snap-fit ​​engagements. The orientation of the hook portion of the engaging claw of one of the snap-fit ​​engagements is opposite to the orientation of the hook portion of the engaging claw of the other snap-fit ​​engagement.

[0018] This effectively prevents the cover from detaching from the main body, even if the cover and the main body attempt to move relative to each other for any reason, thanks to the snap-fit ​​engagement between them.

[0019] In the harness clip described above, it is preferable that the pair of first engaging portions in the cover have a symmetrical shape and arrangement with respect to the anchor.

[0020] This eliminates the need to manage the orientation of the cover when attaching it to the main unit, making the installation process easier.

[0021] In the harness clip described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, the cover has a third surface on which the anchor is placed. The third surface includes a flat portion located outside the anchor when viewed from its normal direction.

[0022] This allows the cover to be attached to the main body without touching the anchor by pressing the flat part of the third surface.

[0023] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of attaching a harness clip as follows. Specifically, this harness clip attaching method is a method of attaching a harness clip comprising a main body and a cover to a wire harness, wherein the cover is attachable to and detachable from the main body, and the cover has an anchor that engages with an object. The harness clip attaching method comprises a first step and a second step. In the first step, the main body is attached to the wire harness with a binding member in a state where the cover is not attached to the main body. In the second step, after the first step, the cover is attached to the main body, whereby a part of the binding member is disposed between the main body and the cover.

[0024] Thus, in the first step, by keeping the cover removed, the binding member can be easily wrapped around from the outside. Thereafter, in the second step, attaching the cover to the main body wrapped with the binding member completes the attachment of the harness clip to the wire harness. Before or after the attachment, by engaging the anchor of the cover with an object, the wire harness is attached to the object via the harness clip. This series of attaching operations is easy because only one binding member is required, and it is also low-cost because only one binding member is sufficient. Furthermore, since the cover having the anchor is provided separately from the main body, when anchors of different sizes are required depending on the type of the object, this can be handled by replacing only the cover.

[0026] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the configuration of the harness clip 10 according to this embodiment. Figure 2 is another exploded perspective view showing the configuration of the harness clip 10 according to this embodiment. Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the body 11 of the harness clip 10 attached to the wire harness 101 by the fastening member 102. Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the completed attachment of the harness clip 10 to the wire harness 101 by attaching the cover 19 to the body 11. Figure 5 is another perspective view showing the completed attachment of the harness clip 10 to the wire harness 101 by attaching the cover 19 to the body 11.

[0027] The harness clip 10 shown in Figures 1 to 5 is a component for attaching a wire harness 101 to an object not shown (for example, the body of an automobile). The harness clip 10 of this embodiment can be attached to the wire harness 101 by only one fastening member 102 (for example, a cable tie or tape). The harness clip 10 is made of, for example, synthetic resin. The harness clip 10 comprises a body 11 and a cover 19. The body 11 and the cover 19 are separate components.

[0028] The main body 11 is a component that is attached to the wire harness 101 with a fastening member 102. The main body 11 can be attached to the wire harness 101 using the fastening member 102 when the cover 19 is removed (for example, as shown in Figure 3). The main body 11 is formed in a roughly rectangular plate shape overall. Figure 1 shows the longitudinal direction D1 and the width direction D2 of the main body 11. In the center of the longitudinal direction D1 of the main body 11, there is a narrow section 12 that is narrower than the parts on either side. This narrow section 12 is the part to which the fastening member 102 is wrapped.

[0029] The main body 11 has a first surface 13 and a second surface 14. The first surface 13 is the surface that faces the wire harness 101 when the main body 11 is attached to the wire harness 101 (as shown in Figures 3 to 5). The second surface 14 is the surface opposite to the first surface 13. A pair of protruding wall portions 15 protrude from the second surface 14, facing each other with the narrow portion 12 in between. In this embodiment, the direction in which the pair of protruding wall portions 15 face each other coincides with the longitudinal direction D1. In the width direction D2 of the main body 11, the dimensions of each protruding wall portion 15 are greater than the dimensions of the narrow portion 12. In the width direction D2 of the main body 11, each protruding wall portion 15 extends outward beyond both ends of the narrow portion 12.

[0030] The main body 11 has a pair of engaging wall portions 16 that engage with a pair of engaging claws 26 (described later) when the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11 (as shown in Figures 4 and 5). One of the engaging wall portions 16 protrudes from the second surface 14 at one end of the main body 11 in the longitudinal direction D1. The other engaging wall portion 16 protrudes from the second surface 14 at the other end of the main body 11 in the longitudinal direction D1. Each engaging wall portion 16 has an engaging hole 16a, and the engaging claws 26 can engage with its inner wall surface. In the main body 11, the pair of engaging wall portions 16 have a symmetrical shape and arrangement with respect to the narrow portion 12. The pair of engaging wall portions 16 is an example of a pair of second engaging portions.

[0031] The cover 19 is detachable from the main body 11. The cover 19 is formed as a hollow, approximately rectangular parallelepiped. When viewed along the protruding direction of the anchor 23 (described later), the cover 19 is approximately rectangular. The cover 19 is attached to the main body 11 such that its longitudinal direction and width direction coincide with the longitudinal direction D1 and width direction D2 of the main body 11. The cover 19 has an open shape toward one side. When the cover 19 is closed, the main body 11 is located on the open side of the cover 19.

[0032] The cover 19 has a third surface 21 and a fourth surface 25. The third surface 21 is the surface facing away from the main body 11 when the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11. The fourth surface 25 is the surface opposite to the third surface 21. An anchor 23 that engages with an object is positioned on the third surface 21. The anchor 23 is integrally formed with the cover 19. The harness clip 10 is attached to the object by the anchor 23 engaging with a hole or the like formed in the object. The anchor 23 is positioned approximately in the center of the longitudinal direction D1 of the cover 19.

[0033] The third surface 21 includes a flat portion 22 located outside the anchor 23 when viewed from its normal direction. In other words, the flat portion 22 refers to the entire region of the third surface 21 that does not overlap with the anchor 23 when viewed from the normal direction of the third surface 21. Therefore, the flat portion 22 includes at least a first flat portion 22A located on one side of the longitudinal direction D1 of the cover 19 with respect to the anchor 23, and a second flat portion 22B located on the other side of the longitudinal direction D1 of the cover 19 with respect to the anchor 23.

[0034] The cover 19 has a pair of protruding ribs 24 that face each other in a direction that intersects (in this example, perpendicular to) the opposing direction of the pair of protruding wall portions 15. The direction of protrusion of the protruding ribs 24 is opposite to the direction of protrusion of the anchor 23. In this embodiment, the direction in which the pair of protruding ribs 24 face each other coincides with the width direction D2. Each protruding rib 24 is located at both ends of the width direction D2 of the cover 19. Also, each protruding rib 24 is located approximately in the center of the longitudinal direction D1 of the cover 19. Specifically, a pair of side walls are formed so as to protrude from both ends of the width direction D2 of the fourth surface 25, and the protruding ribs 24 are integrally formed with each side wall. When the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11, the pair of protruding ribs 24 face each other in the width direction D2 of the harness clip 10, sandwiching the narrow portion 12 of the main body 11.

[0035] When the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11, the fastening member 102 can be positioned to pass through the gap between one protruding rib 24 and the narrow portion 12, the space between the fourth surface 25 of the cover 19 and the narrow portion 12, and the gap between the other protruding rib 24 and the narrow portion 12. At this time, a part of the fastening member 102 (hereinafter also referred to as the non-exposed portion 102a) is positioned between the main body 11 and the cover 19, as shown in Figure 4. Also, in the same state, at least a part of the anchor 23 (in this example, the central part of the anchor 23) is aligned with the non-exposed portion 102a in the opposing direction D3 between the cover 19 and the main body 11.

[0036] The non-exposed portion 102a of the fastening member 102 is positioned between the pair of protruding wall portions 15 when the main body 11 is attached to the wire harness 101 (as shown in Figures 3 to 5). The non-exposed portion 102a is also positioned between the pair of protruding ribs 24 when the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11 (as shown in Figures 4 and 5). As a result, when the harness clip 10 is attached to the wire harness 101, the movement of the fastening member 102 is restricted, and consequently, the relative movement between the harness clip 10 and the wire harness 101 can be restricted. As a result, rattling of the harness clip 10 and the wire harness 101 can be reduced.

[0037] The cover 19 has a pair of engaging claws 26 positioned on either side of the anchor 23. One engaging claw 26 is positioned at one end of the cover 19 in the longitudinal direction D1. The other engaging claw 26 is positioned at the other end of the cover 19 in the longitudinal direction D1. Each engaging claw 26 is formed to protrude substantially perpendicularly from the fourth surface 25. In the cover 19, the pair of engaging claws 26 have a symmetrical shape and arrangement on either side of the anchor 23. The tips of the engaging claws 26 have hooking portions that protrude toward the anchor 23 (or the center of the cover 19). The pair of engaging claws 26 engage with the pair of engaging wall portions 16 at the same time that the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11. At this time, each engaging claw 26 elastically deforms as appropriate, causing each hooking portion to overcome the engaging wall portion 16, and then each hooking portion enters each engaging hole 16a toward the anchor 23 side (or the center of the cover 19). The pair of engaging claws 26 is an example of a pair of first engaging portions.

[0038] Thus, the engagement between one engaging claw 26 and one engaging wall 16, and the engagement between the other engaging claw 26 and the other engaging wall 16, are both snap-fit ​​engagements. Furthermore, when the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11, the direction in which the hook portion of one engaging claw 26 enters the engagement hole 16a of one engaging wall 16, and the direction in which the hook portion of the other engaging claw 26 enters the engagement hole 16a of the other engaging wall 16 are opposite to each other. For this reason, even if you try to move the cover 19 to one side or the other side of the main body 11 in the longitudinal direction D1, the snap-fit ​​engagement will not be released. Therefore, secure fixing can be achieved.

[0039] In this embodiment, the hooking portion of each engaging claw 26 protrudes toward the center of the cover 19. Therefore, it is easy to position the base of each engaging claw 26 away from the center of the cover 19. This makes it possible to widen the first flat portion 22A and the second flat portion 22B without increasing the overall size in a layout where the base of one engaging claw 26 is positioned at the end of the first flat portion 22A and the base of the other engaging claw 26 is positioned at the end of the second flat portion 22B.

[0040] Next, with reference to Figures 3 to 5, a method for attaching a wire harness according to this embodiment will be described. The method for attaching a wire harness is a method for attaching a harness clip 10 according to this embodiment to a wire harness 101, and comprises a first step, a second step, and a third step.

[0041] In the first step, as shown in Figure 3, the main body 11 is attached to the wire harness 101 with the fastening member 102, with the cover 19 not yet attached.

[0042] In the second step, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, after the first step, the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11, thereby positioning a portion of the fastening member 102 (non-exposed portion 102a) between the main body 11 and the cover 19. At this time, the pair of engaging claws 26 engage with the pair of engaging wall portions 16. This completes the attachment of the harness clip 10 to the wire harness 101.

[0043] In the third step, the anchor 23 is engaged with the object. This attaches the wire harness 101 to the object via the harness clip 10 of this embodiment. The third step may, but is not limited to, being performed after the second step.

[0044] As described above, the harness clip 10 of this embodiment is a harness clip 10 for attaching a wire harness 101 to an object. The harness clip 10 comprises a main body 11 and a cover 19. The main body 11 is attached to the wire harness 101 with a fastening member 102. The cover 19 is detachable from the main body 11. The main body 11 can be attached to the wire harness 101 with the fastening member 102 when the cover 19 is not attached. By attaching the cover 19 to the main body 11 attached to the wire harness 101, a part of the fastening member 102 (non-exposed portion 102a) is positioned between the main body 11 and the cover 19. The cover 19 has an anchor 23 that engages with the object.

[0045] This allows the fastening member 102 to be easily wrapped around the wire harness 101 from the outside by removing the cover 19 when attaching the main body 11 to the wire harness 101. Then, by attaching the cover 19 to the main body 11 with the fastening member 102 wrapped around it, the attachment of the harness clip 10 to the wire harness 101 can be completed. Before or after this attachment, the anchor 23 of the cover 19 is engaged with the object, thereby attaching the wire harness 101 to the object via the harness clip 10. This series of attachment operations is easy because it requires only one fastening member 102. It is also low-cost because only one fastening member 102 is needed. Furthermore, since the cover 19 with the anchor 23 is separate from the main body 11, if different sizes of anchors 23 are required depending on the type of object, only the cover 19 needs to be replaced.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, at least a portion of the anchor 23 of the harness clip 10 is aligned with a portion of the fastening member 102 (non-exposed portion 102a) in the opposing direction D3 between the cover 19 and the main body 11, as shown in Figure 4, when the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11.

[0047] As a result, with the cover 19 attached to the main body 11, a portion of the fastening member 102 (the non-exposed portion 102a) is positioned near the anchor 23. Therefore, even if the force acting on the wire harness 101 is transmitted to the harness clip 10 via the fastening member 102, the force can be received in a balanced manner at the engagement portion between the object and the anchor 23.

[0048] Furthermore, the harness clip 10 of this embodiment has a main body 11 that has a first surface 13, a second surface 14, and a pair of protruding wall portions 15. The first surface 13 faces the wire harness 101 when the main body 11 is attached to the wire harness 101. The second surface 14 is the surface opposite to the first surface 13. The pair of protruding wall portions 15 protrude from the second surface 14 and face each other. A part of the fastening member 102 (non-exposed portion 102a) is positioned between the pair of protruding wall portions 15 when the main body 11 is attached to the wire harness 101.

[0049] As a result, with the main body 11 attached to the wire harness 101, the movement of the fastening member 102 is restricted in the opposing direction of the pair of protruding wall portions 15. This restricts the relative movement between the harness clip 10 and the wire harness 101 in that opposing direction.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness clip 10 has a cover 19 that has a pair of protruding ribs 24 that face each other in a direction intersecting the opposing direction of the pair of protruding wall portions 15. A part of the fastening member 102 (the non-exposed portion 102a) is positioned between the pair of protruding ribs 24 when the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11.

[0051] As a result, with the cover 19 attached to the main body 11, the movement of the fastening member 102 is restricted in the opposing direction of the pair of protruding ribs 24. This restricts the relative movement between the harness clip 10 and the wire harness 101 in that opposing direction.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness clip 10 has a cover 19 that has a pair of engaging claws 26 positioned on either side of the anchor 23. The main body 11 has a pair of engaging wall portions 16 that engage with the pair of engaging claws 26 when the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11.

[0053] This allows the cover 19 to be maintained in the attached state by the engagement between each engaging claw 26 and each engaging wall portion 16.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness clip 10 has a snap-fit ​​engagement between one engaging claw 26 and one engaging wall 16, and between the other engaging claw 26 and the other engaging wall 16. The orientation of the hook portion of one engaging claw 26 is opposite to the orientation of the hook portion of the other engaging claw 26.

[0055] As a result, even if the cover 19 and the main body 11 attempt to move relative to each other for any reason, the snap-fit ​​engagement between the two effectively prevents the cover 19 from detaching from the main body 11.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness clip 10 has a pair of engaging claws 26 on the cover 19 that have a symmetrical shape and arrangement with respect to the anchor 23.

[0057] This eliminates the need to manage the orientation of the cover 19 when attaching it to the main body 11, making the installation process easier.

[0058] Furthermore, the harness clip 10 of this embodiment has a cover 19 which has a third surface 21 on which the anchor 23 is positioned. The third surface 21 includes a flat portion 22 located outside the anchor 23 when viewed from its normal direction.

[0059] This allows the cover 19 to be attached to the main body 11 without touching the anchor 23 by pressing the flat portion 22 of the third surface 21.

[0060] Furthermore, the harness clip attachment method of this embodiment is a method for attaching a harness clip 10, which comprises a main body 11 and a cover 19, to a wire harness 101. The cover 19 is detachable from the main body 11. The cover 19 has an anchor 23 that engages with an object. The harness clip attachment method comprises a first step and a second step. In the first step, the main body 11 is attached to the wire harness 101 with a fastening member 102 while the cover 19 is not attached. In the second step, after the first step, the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11, so that a part of the fastening member 102 (non-exposed portion 102a) is positioned between the main body 11 and the cover 19.

[0061] As a result, in the first step, the cover 19 is removed, allowing the fastening member 102 to be easily wrapped around it from the outside. Then, in the second step, the cover 19 is attached to the main body 11 around which the fastening member 102 is wrapped, completing the attachment of the harness clip 10 to the wire harness 101. Before or after this attachment, the anchor 23 of the cover 19 is engaged with the object, thereby attaching the wire harness 101 to the object via the harness clip 10. This series of attachment operations is easy because it requires only one fastening member 102. It is also low-cost because only one fastening member 102 is needed. Furthermore, since the cover 19 with the anchor 23 is separate from the main body 11, if different sizes of anchors 23 are required depending on the type of object, only the cover 19 needs to be replaced.

[0062] Preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the above configuration can be modified as follows, for example. Modifications may be made individually, or multiple modifications may be made in any combination.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the pair of engaging claws 26 extend inward, but the pair of engaging claws 26 may also extend outward.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the engaging claw 26 and the engaging wall portion 16 are male and female, respectively, but this male-female relationship may be reversed. That is, the main body 11 may be provided with a pair of engaging claws 26, and the cover 19 may be provided with a pair of engaging wall portions 16.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the anchor 23 is integrally formed with the cover 19, but the anchor 23 may be a separate part that can be attached to the cover 19. [Explanation of Symbols]
