Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a wire harness.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, some wire harnesses include an electric wire group routed from a vehicle body to a slide door that can be opened and closed relative to the vehicle body, and a plurality of separate covers that cover the electric wire group (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The plurality of separate covers are arranged side by side along a connecting axis extending in the direction in which the electric wire group extends, and are rotatably connected to each other, so as to protect the electric wire group and allow bending of the electric wire group.

[0003] Each of the separate covers has a separate cover main body and a cover lid. The separate cover main body is formed in a U-shape that opens along a connecting intersecting axis that intersects the connecting axis, and has a locking claw protruding along the connecting intersecting axis. The cover lid has a locking hole that is locked to the locking claw when the locking claw passes through it. The cover lid is moved relative to the separate cover main body along the connecting intersecting axis, so that the locking claw passes through the locking hole. Thereby, the cover lid is fixed to the separate cover main body and closes the opening of the separate cover main body.

Summary of Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, with the wire harness described above, the carrier cover is fixed by a locking claw catching in a locking hole, which leads to a problem where the carrier cover is prone to rattling in the direction along the connecting cross axis relative to the separate carrier body. This can cause the carrier cover to vibrate relative to the separate carrier body, and consequently generate abnormal noise.

[0006] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a wire harness that can suppress rattling in the direction along the connecting cross axis of the carrier cover. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The wire harness of the present disclosure comprises a group of electric wires routed from a vehicle body to a sliding door that can be opened and closed relative to the vehicle body, and a plurality of separate carriers that cover the group of electric wires and are arranged in parallel along a connecting axis in the direction of extension of the group of electric wires, and are rotatably connected to one another, wherein each of the separate carriers has a U-shaped separate carrier body that opens along a connecting cross axis that intersects the connecting axis by having a back wall and a pair of side walls that extend opposite to each other from both ends of the back wall, and a carrier cover that has a plate-like portion that closes the opening of the separate carrier body, wherein the separate carrier body has an engaging portion on each of the pair of side walls, and the carrier cover has an engaging portion that is fixed to the engaging portion by sliding along the connecting axis.

[0010] [Description of Embodiments in this Disclosure] First, the embodiments of this disclosure will be listed and described. [1] The wire harness of the present disclosure comprises a group of electric wires routed from a vehicle body to a sliding door that can be opened and closed relative to the vehicle body, and a plurality of separate carriers that cover the group of electric wires and are arranged in parallel along a connecting axis in the direction of extension of the group of electric wires, and are rotatably connected to one another, wherein each of the separate carriers has a U-shaped separate carrier body that opens along a connecting cross axis that intersects the connecting axis by having a back wall and a pair of side walls that face each other from both ends of the back wall, and a carrier cover that has a plate-like portion that closes the opening of the separate carrier body, wherein the separate carrier body has an engaging portion on each of the pair of side walls, and the carrier cover has an engaging portion that is fixed to the engaging portion by sliding along the connecting axis.

[0011] With this configuration, the carrier cover has an engaging portion that is fixed to the engaged portion of the separate carrier body by sliding along the connecting axis, thus suppressing rattling in the direction along the connecting cross axis. In other words, for example, in a configuration in which the separate carrier body has a locking claw that protrudes along the connecting cross axis and engages with a locking hole in the carrier cover, the carrier cover tends to rattle in the direction along the connecting cross axis, but this configuration makes rattling less likely.

[0012] [2] In the above [1], the engaged portion has an insertion recess formed on the outside along the parallel axis of the pair of side walls and extending from the tip of the pair of side walls along the connecting cross axis, and a slide recess that bends from the insertion recess and extends along the connecting axis, and the engaged portion may have an insertion projection that protrudes from the plate-like portion so as to be insertable into the insertion recess, and a fitting projection that extends from the insertion projection along the connecting axis and can be fitted into the slide recess.

[0013] According to this configuration, the insertion projection portion is inserted into the insertion recess portion along the connecting intersecting axis, and the fitting projection portion is further fitted into the slide recess portion along the connecting axis, whereby the wire cover is fixed to the separate wire body. In this configuration, since the fitting projection portion is fitted into the slide recess portion along the connecting axis, rattling of the wire cover in the direction along the connecting intersecting axis can be suppressed.

[0014] [3] In the above [2], the insertion projection portion may have an inclined surface that increases in distance from the bottom surface of the insertion recess portion toward the tip end. According to this configuration, since the insertion projection portion has the inclined surface that increases in distance from the bottom surface of the insertion recess portion toward the tip end, the operation of inserting the insertion projection portion into the insertion recess portion can be facilitated. That is, the inclined surface can prevent the insertion projection portion from being caught when the insertion projection portion is inserted into the insertion recess portion.

[0015] [4] In any one of the above [1] to the above [3], the wire cover may have a pair of inner walls facing the inner surface of each of the pair of side walls. According to this configuration, since the wire cover has the pair of inner walls facing the inner surface of each of the pair of side walls, for example, significant rattling of the wire cover in the direction along the parallel arrangement axis on which the pair of side walls are arranged side by side can be suppressed.

[0016] [5] In the above [1], the engaged portion is recessed from the outer side along the parallel arrangement axis on which the pair of side walls are arranged side by side, and has an insertion recess portion extending from the tip ends of the pair of side walls along the connecting intersecting axis, and a slide recess portion bent from the insertion recess portion and extending along the connecting axis, and the engaging portion has an insertion projection portion protruding from the plate-shaped portion so as to be insertable into the insertion recess portion, and a fitted projection portion extending from the insertion projection portion along the connecting axis to allow the residual wall formed between the tip ends of the pair of side walls and the slide recess portion to be fitted between the fitted projection portion and the plate-shaped portion.

[0017] In this configuration, the insertion projection is inserted into the insertion recess along the connecting cross axis, and the remaining wall formed between the tip of the pair of side walls and the sliding recess is fitted between the fitted projection and the plate-like part, thereby fixing the carrier cover to the separate carrier body. In this configuration, since the remaining wall is fitted between the fitted projection and the plate-like part along the connecting axis, it is possible to suppress rattling of the carrier cover in the direction along the connecting cross axis.

[0018] [Details of the embodiments of this disclosure] A specific example of the lighting system described herein will be explained below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, some parts of the configuration may be exaggerated or simplified for ease of explanation. Also, the dimensional ratios of each part may differ in each drawing.

[0019] In this specification, "orthogonal" includes not only strictly orthogonal cases, but also cases that are approximately orthogonal within the range that produces the effects described in this embodiment. As used in this specification, the term "tubular" includes not only those with a continuous circumferential wall formed around the entire circumference, but also those formed by combining multiple parts, and those having a notch or other cutout in a part of the circumferential direction, such as a C-shape. The outer circumferential shape of a "tubular" includes, but is not limited to, circular, elliptical, and polygonal shapes with pointed or rounded corners. A "tubular" is a shape having a through hole in a plan view, and includes those where the outer circumferential shape and the inner circumferential shape of the through hole are the same, or where the outer circumferential shape and the inner circumferential shape of the through hole are different. A "tubular" includes those having a predetermined length extending along the axial direction through which the central axis passing through the center of the through hole extends, regardless of the magnitude of that length.

[0020] In this specification, "facing" means that two surfaces or members are facing each other, and includes not only cases where they are completely facing each other, but also cases where they are partially facing each other. Furthermore, in this specification, "facing" includes both cases where another member is interposed between the two parts, and cases where nothing is interposed between the two parts.

[0021] In this specification, terms such as “first,” “second,” etc., are used solely to distinguish between subjects and do not rank them. The present invention is not limited to these examples and is shown in the claims, and all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims are intended.

[0022] (Configuration of wire harness 20) As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the wire harness 20 includes a group of wires 21 routed from the vehicle body 30 to the sliding door 40. The group of wires 21 electrically connects a power control device (not shown) installed on the vehicle body 30 to electrical equipment (not shown) installed on the sliding door 40. The electrical equipment is, for example, a power window motor or a lock actuator, and the power control device is a device for supplying power to that electrical equipment. The vehicle body 30 has an opening 31 that can be opened and closed by the sliding door 40. The vehicle body 30 is also provided with an entry / exit step 32. The entry / exit step 32 is located in a part corresponding to the sliding door 40, and is provided in a part on the inside (upper side in Figure 1) of the opening 31, rather than the outside (lower side in Figure 1) end. The entry / exit step 32 is for the user to place their feet when getting in and out of the vehicle. The sliding door 40 is also provided so as to be able to slide forward and backward (left and right in Figure 1) of the vehicle body 30 by a mechanism (not shown). More specifically, the sliding door 40 can slide from a fully closed position (see Figure 1) towards the outside of the vehicle body 30 (lower side in Figure 1) while sliding towards the rear of the vehicle body 30 (left side in Figure 2) by a mechanism not shown, and can slide all the way to a fully open position (see Figure 3).

[0023] As shown in Figure 4, the wire harness 20 comprises a group of wires 21, multiple separate carriers 22, and rubber boots 23. Figure 4 shows a portion of the wire harness 20 in a disassembled state with one separate carrier 22 and a rubber boot 23. The group of wires 21 is made up of multiple wires bundled together, but in the figure, the individual wires are omitted and they are shown schematically as a single unit.

[0024] (Configuration of multiple separate carriers 22) Multiple separate carriers 22 are made of resin material. Multiple separate carriers 22 cover the group of electric wires 21 and are arranged side by side along a connecting axis X that runs in the direction of extension of the group of electric wires 21, while being rotatably connected to one another. The connecting axis X referred to here is the axis that runs along the group of electric wires 21 when it is in a straight state.

[0025] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, each of the multiple separate carriers 22 has a separate carrier body 50 and a carrier cover 60. The figures also show a connecting axis X, a connecting cross axis Y that intersects the connecting axis X and is perpendicular to the connecting axis X, and a parallel axis Z that is perpendicular to the connecting axis X and the connecting cross axis Y.

[0026] The separate carrier body 50 is formed in a U-shape that opens along the connecting cross axis Y, by having a back wall 51 and a pair of side walls 52 that extend opposite each other from both ends of the back wall 51. In other words, the separate carrier body 50 is formed in a U-shape when viewed along the connecting axis X.

[0027] Furthermore, the carrier cover 60, while fixed to the separate carrier body 50, has a plate-like portion 61 that closes the opening of the U-shaped separate carrier body 50. That is, the carrier cover 60 has a plate-like portion 61 that is positioned to connect the ends of a pair of side walls 52.

[0028] The separate carrier body 50 has an engaging portion 53 on each of its pair of side walls 52. The carrier cover 60 has an engaging portion 62 that is fixed to the engaging portion 53 by sliding along the connecting axis X.

[0029] More specifically, the engaging portion 53 is recessed in the pair of side walls 52 from the outside along the parallel axis Z in which the pair of side walls 52 are aligned. The engaging portion 53 has an insertion recess 53a extending from the tip of the pair of side walls 52 along the connecting cross axis Y, and a slide recess 53b that bends from the insertion recess 53a and extends along the connecting axis X. Furthermore, a locking claw portion 53c is formed in the slide recess 53b. In this embodiment, the locking claw portion 53c is formed to protrude from the tip side (lower side in Figure 10) of the side wall 52 in the slide recess 53b.

[0030] The engaging portion 62 has an insertion projection 62a that protrudes from the plate-shaped portion 61 along the connecting cross axis Y so as to be insertable into the insertion recess 53a, and an insertion projection 62b that extends from the insertion projection 62a along the connecting axis X and is insertable into the slide recess 53b. Furthermore, the insertion projection 62b has a locking claw portion 62c that can be locked onto the locking claw portion 53c. In this embodiment, the locking claw portion 62c is formed so as to protrude further from the tip of the insertion projection 62b along the connecting axis X and be lockable onto the locking claw portion 53c.

[0031] In this embodiment, the recessed projection 62b is set so that there is no gap between it and the slide recess 53b along the connecting cross axis Y. That is, the width of the recessed projection 62b along the connecting cross axis Y and the width of the slide recess 53b along the connecting cross axis Y are set to be the same.

[0032] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the carrier cover 60 of this embodiment is fixed to the separate carrier body 50 by first moving along the connecting cross axis Y, and then sliding along the connecting axis X.

[0033] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 8 and 11, the insertion projection 62a has an inclined surface 62d where the distance from the bottom surface of the insertion recess 53a increases towards the tip. In this embodiment, the inclined surface 62d is formed as a single plane extending from the insertion projection 62a to the insertion projection 62b.

[0034] Furthermore, the carrier cover 60 has a pair of inner walls 63 that face the inner surfaces of each of the pair of side walls 52 in the separate carrier body 50. As shown in Figure 8, the pair of inner walls 63 in this embodiment are formed over the entire width along the connecting axis X in the plate-like portion 61 of the carrier cover 60.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, the separate carrier body 50 has a pivot shaft portion 54 at a first end along the connecting axis X, and a rotatable shaft portion 55 at a second end to which the pivot shaft portion 54 can be connected. The pivot shaft portion 54 protrudes from the outer surface of each of the pair of side walls 52 along the parallel axis Z. The rotatable shaft portion 55 is a hole that penetrates each of the pair of side walls 52. Each of the multiple separate carrier bodies 50 is rotatable relative to an adjacent separate carrier body 50 by rotatably connecting its pivot shaft portion 54 to the rotatable shaft portion 55 of an adjacent separate carrier body 50.

[0036] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the multiple separate carriers 22 of this embodiment are of two types: a first separate carrier 22A (see Figure 5) and a second separate carrier 22B (see Figure 6), each with a different rotatable angle. As shown in Figure 5, the first separate carrier 22A is rotatable 15° counterclockwise in the first rotation direction from a straight position, and 30° clockwise in the second rotation direction from a straight position. As shown in Figure 6, the second separate carrier 22B is not rotatable counterclockwise in the first rotation direction from a straight position, and 45° clockwise in the second rotation direction from a straight position. The rotatable angle of the separate carrier 22 is set by a known structure, such as changing the shape of the engagement portion with an adjacent separate carrier 22 (not shown).

[0037] The multiple separate carriers 22 are arranged such that the wire harness 20 does not protrude beyond the overhang prevention line L (see Figure 3) towards the vehicle body 30 (upper side in Figure 3). The first separate carrier 22A and the second separate carrier 22B are combined to achieve this. The overhang prevention line L is, for example, a line set for each vehicle model to maintain a certain distance from the vehicle body 30.

[0038] As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, for example, a second separate carrier 22B (see Figure 6) is used in the intermediate range A of the wire harness 20. This prevents the wire harness 20 from protruding beyond the overhang prevention line L towards the vehicle body 30 (upper side in Figure 3). Therefore, the wire harness 20 is prevented from colliding with the vehicle body 30. In areas of the wire harness 20 other than the intermediate range A, a first separate carrier 22A (see Figure 5) is used. Of course, the combination of the first separate carrier 22A and the second separate carrier 22B may be appropriately changed according to, for example, the overhang prevention line L set for each vehicle model.

[0039] (Composition of rubber boots 23) The rubber boot 23 is made of rubber material. As shown in Figure 4, the rubber boot 23 is provided to cover a plurality of rotatably connected separate carriers 22. The rubber boot 23 is formed in a cylindrical shape and has a bellows structure by repeating indentations and protrusions in the extending direction. The rubber boot 23 is formed to be easily bent by the bellows structure, allowing the plurality of separate carriers 22 to rotate.

[0040] (Operation of this embodiment) Next, we will explain the operation of the wire harness 20 configured as described above. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, when the carrier cover 60 is first moved along the connecting cross axis Y relative to the separate carrier body 50, and then slid along the connecting axis X, the engaging projection 62b of the engaging portion 62 is fitted into the sliding recess 53b of the engaged portion 53. Also, the locking claw portion 62c is locked to the locking claw portion 53c. As a result, the carrier cover 60 is fixed to the separate carrier body 50. As a result, the entire circumference of the wire group 21 (see Figure 4) is covered by the separate carrier 22.

[0041] (Effects of this embodiment) Next, the effects of the above embodiment are described below. (1) The carrier cover 60 has an engaging portion 62 that is fixed to the engaged portion 53 of the separate carrier body 50 by sliding along the connecting axis X, so rattling in the direction along the connecting cross axis Y can be suppressed. That is, for example, in a configuration in which the separate carrier body 50 has a locking claw that protrudes along the connecting cross axis Y and engages with a locking hole in the carrier cover 60, the carrier cover 60 is prone to rattling in the direction along the connecting cross axis Y. In comparison to this, the carrier cover 60 can be made less prone to rattling in the direction along the connecting cross axis Y. In other words, the amount of rattling of the carrier cover 60 relative to the separate carrier body 50 along the connecting cross axis Y can be reduced. As a result, for example, vibration of the carrier cover 60 relative to the separate carrier body 50 can be suppressed, and consequently, the generation of abnormal noise can be suppressed.

[0042] (2) In this embodiment, the inserting projection 62a is inserted into the inserting recess 53a along the connecting cross axis Y, and the fitting projection 62b is fitted into the sliding recess 53b along the connecting axis X, thereby fixing the carrier cover 60 to the separate carrier body 50. In this configuration, since the fitting projection 62b is fitted into the sliding recess 53b along the connecting axis X, rattling of the carrier cover 60 in the direction along the connecting cross axis Y can be suppressed.

[0043] (3) The insertion projection 62a has an inclined surface 62d that increases in distance from the bottom surface of the insertion recess 53a as it approaches its tip, making it easier to insert the insertion projection 62a into the insertion recess 53a. In other words, the inclined surface 62d prevents the insertion projection 62a from getting caught when inserting it into the insertion recess 53a.

[0044] (4) Since the cabin cover 60 has a pair of inner walls 63 that face the inner surfaces of each of the pair of side walls 52, for example, it is possible to suppress the cabin cover 60 from rattling significantly in the direction along the parallel axis Z of the pair of side walls 52.

[0045] (Example of change) The above embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that they do not contradict each other technically.

[0046] The engaging portion 62 provided on the carrier cover 60 in the above embodiment may be changed to another configuration as long as it is fixed to the engaged portion 53 of the separate carrier body 50 by sliding along the connecting axis X. Of course, the configuration of the engaged portion 53 may also be changed.

[0047] For example, in the above embodiment, the engaging portion 62 has a fitting projection 62b that fits into the sliding recess 53b along the connecting axis X, but other configurations may be used as long as rattling of the carrier cover 60 in the direction along the connecting cross axis Y can be suppressed.

[0048] Specifically, for example, as shown in Figure 12, the engaging portion 70 may have an insertion projection 70a and a receiving projection 70b. The insertion projection 70a protrudes from the plate-like portion 61 so as to be insertable into the insertion recess 53a. The receiving projection 70b extends from the insertion projection 70a along the connecting axis X so as to allow the remaining wall 56 formed between the tip of the pair of side walls 52 (lower end in Figure 12) and the sliding recess 53b to be fitted between itself and the plate-like portion 61. The receiving projection 70b also has a locking claw portion 70c formed thereon that can lock onto the locking claw portion 53c.

[0049] In this configuration, the insertion projection 70a is inserted into the insertion recess 53a along the connecting cross axis Y, and the remaining wall 56 is fitted between the fitted projection 70b and the plate-shaped portion 61, thereby fixing the carrier cover 60 to the separate carrier body 50. In this configuration, since the remaining wall 56 is fitted between the fitted projection 70b and the plate-shaped portion 61 along the connecting axis X, it is possible to suppress rattling of the carrier cover 60 in the direction along the connecting cross axis Y.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the insertion projection 62a has an inclined surface 62d that increases in distance from the bottom surface of the insertion recess 53a as it approaches its tip, but the invention is not limited to this, and a configuration without an inclined surface 62d is also possible.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the cabin cover 60 has a pair of inner walls 63 facing the inner surfaces of each of the pair of side walls 52, but it is not limited to this, and a configuration without inner walls 63 is also possible.

[0052] The locking claw portion 53c in the above embodiment may be provided at other locations on the separate carrier body 50. Also, the locking claw portion 62c may be provided at other locations on the carrier cover 60, as long as it corresponds to the location of the locking claw portion 53c.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the width of the embedded projection 62b along the connecting cross axis Y and the width of the sliding recess 53b along the connecting cross axis Y are set to be the same, but the embodiment is not limited to this.

[0054] For example, the width of the recessed projection 62b along the connecting cross axis Y may be slightly larger than the width of the slide recess 53b along the connecting cross axis Y, and the recessed projection 62b may be press-fitted into the slide recess 53b. Alternatively, for example, the width of the recessed projection 62b along the connecting cross axis Y may be slightly smaller than the width of the slide recess 53b along the connecting cross axis Y, i.e., within a range where the amount of rattle is smaller than in the conventional technology.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the multiple separate carriers 22 are described as being of two types: a first separate carrier 22A and a second separate carrier 22B, each with a different rotatable angle. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the multiple separate carriers 22 may consist of a single separate carrier 22 with a constant rotatable angle, or three or more separate carriers 22, each with a different rotatable angle, may be used.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the wire harness 20 is provided with a rubber boot 23, but it is not limited to this, and a configuration without a rubber boot 23 is also possible. That is, a configuration in which multiple separate carriers 22 are exposed to the outside is also possible.

[0057] The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects, and the present invention is not limited to these examples. That is, the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims, and all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims are intended to be included.
