[0025] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wiring module and wiring module set 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 equivalent to the claims.

[0026] [Embodiment 1] The wiring module according to the first embodiment will be described below.

[0027] <Vehicles in which the wiring module is installed> FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a vehicle 10 in which a wiring module 20 is incorporated. The vehicle 10 includes a body 12. The body 12 is a part that forms the outer shape of the vehicle 10. The body 12 may be a monocoque body, or may be a body mounted on a ladder frame. Here, the body 12 includes side panels that surround the passenger compartment, a roof panel 13, and further door panels for passengers to get in and out of the vehicle, a rear door panel for loading and unloading luggage, and the like. The body 12 may be formed of metal or resin. The body 12 may be configured by a combination of metal and resin. A plate-shaped part of the body 12 that covers the upper part of the passenger compartment is the roof panel 13. In other words, the roof panel 13 forms the roof part of the vehicle 10. The roof panel 13 may be curved partially or entirely to form the outer shape of the body 12. The roof panel 13 may be formed of metal or resin. The roof panel 13 may be configured by a combination of metal and resin. Here, the roof panel 13 is formed with an antenna hole 13h (see FIG. 2).

[0028] The wiring module 20 is assembled into the vehicle 10. In this embodiment, an example in which the wiring module 20 is assembled into the roof portion 14 including the roof panel 13 will be described.

[0029] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the wiring module 20. In FIG. 2, the roof portion 14 is illustrated. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the wiring module 20. The transmission member shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 shows a schematic path, and may include a plurality of electric wires or the like even if it is drawn as a single line. The roof panel 13 and the interior member 16 are illustrated as the roof portion 14. The roof portion 14 may include a frame that supports the roof panel 13. The interior member 16 is a plate-like member formed of resin or the like. The interior member 16 is a part that forms the ceiling shape in the vehicle cabin. The interior member 16 may be curved partially or entirely. The interior member 16 is attached to the lower side of the roof panel 13. The interior member 16 is a part that is exposed to the vehicle cabin. The interior member 16 is sometimes called a roof liner. In this embodiment, the wiring module 20 is provided between the roof panel 13 and the interior member 16.

[0030] <Overall structure of the wiring module> The wiring module 20 includes a functional sheet 30, a transmission member 40, a roof side device 50, and a rigid member 60.

[0031] The functional sheet 30 includes a layer that exhibits at least one of a heat insulating function, a soundproofing function, and a radio wave shielding function. In other words, the functional sheet 30 is a sheet that exhibits at least one of a heat insulating function, a soundproofing function, and a radio wave shielding function in addition to fixing the transmission member 40, the roof side device 50, and the rigid member 60. Specific examples of the functional sheet 30 having these functions will be described later.

[0032] The functional sheet 30 is incorporated into the roof portion 14 so as to spread out over the roof panel 13 and the interior member 16. For example, the functional sheet 30 may be arranged so as to spread over 80% or more of the area of ​​the roof portion 14. Also, for example, the functional sheet 30 may be arranged so as to spread over the entire area above the headrests of multiple passenger seats in the vehicle cabin. By arranging the functional sheet 30 so as to spread out over the roof portion 14, the transmission member 40 and roof side equipment 50 can be supported over as wide an area as possible of the roof portion 14. Also, the function of the functional sheet 30 can be exerted over as wide an area as possible of the roof portion 14.

[0033] The transmission member 40 is a member that transmits electricity or light, and is a member that is provided along a wiring path in the functional sheet 30, at least one end of which is connected to the roof-side device 50. For example, the transmission member 40 may be a general electric wire having a core wire and a coating around the core wire, or may be a bare conductor wire, a shielded wire, an electric cable, an enamel wire, a nichrome wire, a coaxial wire, an optical fiber, or the like. That is, the transmission member 40 may be a linear member that transmits electricity. The linear member that transmits electricity may be various signal lines or various power lines. In addition, the linear transmission member that transmits electricity may be a single linear object or a composite of multiple linear objects (such as a twisted wire or a cable in which multiple linear objects are assembled and covered with a sheath). The transmission member may be formed by applying a conductive paint to the functional sheet, etching a copper foil, or the like. Here, a description will be given assuming that the transmission member 40 is an electric wire.

[0034] The transmission member 40 is provided on the functional sheet 30. Here, providing the transmission member 40 on the functional sheet 30 means that a medium for transmitting electricity or light is shaped to form an electrical or optical path on the functional sheet. For this reason, the transmission member 40 provided on the functional sheet 30 includes a transmission member formed directly on the functional sheet 30 by applying a conductive paint or etching a copper foil, as well as a transmission member in the form of a line-shaped transmission member 40 manufactured separately from the functional sheet 30 and attached in a state in which the line-shaped transmission member 40 is shaped to form a certain path along one or both main surfaces of the functional sheet 30. The specific configuration for supporting the transmission member 40 is not particularly limited.

[0035] For example, the transmission member 40 may be fixed to one main surface of the functional sheet 30. For example, the transmission member 40 may be welded (also called fusion) to one main surface of the functional sheet 30. The welded portion formed by this is in a state where at least one of the transmission member 40 and the functional sheet 30 is melted and attached to each other. The welding between the transmission member 40 and the functional sheet 30 may be performed by ultrasonic welding or heat welding. Also, the transmission member 40 and the functional sheet 30 may be welded by dissolving at least one surface of the transmission member 40 and the functional sheet 30 with a solvent. Also, for example, the transmission member 40 may be fixed to the functional sheet 30 by an adhesive, double-sided tape, or the like. Also, for example, the transmission member 40 may be sewn to the functional sheet 30 by sewing thread or the like. Also, for example, in a state where the transmission member 40 is disposed on one main surface of the functional sheet 30, an adhesive tape may be attached so as to straddle the transmission member 40 from the outside of the one main surface of the functional sheet 30, thereby fixing the transmission member 40 to one main surface of the functional sheet 30. The transmission member 40 does not need to be fixed only to one main surface of the functional sheet 30. The transmission member 40 may have both a portion fixed to one main surface of the functional sheet 30 and a portion fixed to the other main surface of the functional sheet 30. In this case, the transmission member 40 may be attached to the middle part or edge part of the functional sheet 30 so as to pass from one main surface to the other main surface.

[0036] Also, for example, the transmission member 40 may be fixed to the functional sheet 30 by being sandwiched between two sheets. For example, when the functional sheet 30 includes a plurality of layers, the transmission member 40 may be sandwiched between the sheets constituting each layer. Also, when another sheet is superimposed on the functional sheet 30, the transmission member 40 may be sandwiched between the functional sheet 30 and the other sheet. In this case, the two sheets sandwiching the transmission member 40 may be fixed to each other by welding, or may be fixed by an adhesive or double-sided tape.

[0037] Here, the transmission member 40 is provided mainly on the surface of the functional sheet 30 on the interior member 16 side.

[0038] The transmission member 40 is connected to the roof side device 50. The roof side device 50 transmits or receives an electric signal or an optical signal via the transmission member 40. Alternatively, the roof side device 50 receives power supply or distributes power via the transmission member 40. The connection between the transmission member 40 and the roof side device 50 may be made via a connector. The transmission member 40 may be directly introduced into the roof side device 50 and directly connected to an electric element in the roof side device 50.

[0039] The roof-side device 50 is disposed on the roof portion 14 and is a device to which the transmission member 40 is connected. Possible examples of the roof-side device 50 include an electronic control unit, lamps (particularly map lamps and interior lamps), speakers, interior cameras, monitors, projection devices, external communication antennas, interior antennas, and the like.

[0040] The roof side device 50 is a device provided on the functional seat 30. The arrangement position of the roof side device 50 with respect to the functional seat 30 is arbitrary. Preferably, the roof side device 50 is fixed to the functional seat 30 at a position suitable for the role that the roof side device 50 plays. For example, assuming that the roof side device 50 is a map lamp, the roof side device 50 may be fixed to a portion of the functional seat 30 that is disposed diagonally above the front seat. Also, assuming that the roof side device 50 is an interior antenna, the roof side device 50 may be fixed to a portion of the functional seat 30 that is disposed above the front seat or the rear seat.

[0041] The roof side equipment 50 may be finally fixed to the roof panel 13 or the interior member 16, etc. Therefore, it is sufficient that the roof side equipment 50 is held on the functional sheet 30 with a holding force sufficient to keep the roof side equipment 50 at a fixed position on the functional sheet 30. For example, the roof side equipment 50 may be fixed to the functional sheet 30 by an adhesive, a pressure sensitive adhesive, double-sided tape, etc. The roof side equipment 50 may be fixed to the functional sheet 30 by screws, pins, etc. The roof side equipment 50 may be fixed to the functional sheet 30 via a rigid member 60. In this case, the roof side equipment 50 may be fixed to the rigid member 60 by an adhesive, a pressure sensitive adhesive, double-sided tape, etc., or by screws, pins, etc.

[0042] Fig. 4 is a functional block diagram of the wiring module 20. Representative functional parts are shown in Fig. 4, regardless of the number of functional parts. An example of a roof side device 50 will be described with reference to Figs. 2 to 4.

[0043] The multiple roof side devices 50 include an electronic control unit 51, an indoor antenna 52, an external communication antenna unit 53, a lamp 54, a camera 55, and a speaker 56. Hereinafter, when referring to the roof side devices collectively, reference numeral 50 may be referred to, and when distinguishing them individually, reference numerals 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56 may be referred to.

[0044] The electronic control unit 51 is a computer including a processor, a memory, etc., and executes control processing according to a program stored in advance. The electronic control unit 51 is assumed to be, for example, an area ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that controls various devices provided on the roof. The electronic control unit 51 is connected to the vehicle side device 18 via a relay transmission member 19. The vehicle side device 18 is assumed to be another electronic control unit (e.g., a body ECU, a central ECU, etc.) 18 provided below the roof. The vehicle side device 18 may be a power supply device instead of or in addition to the electronic control unit. The relay transmission member 19 includes at least one of a communication line and a power supply line. The relay transmission member 19 is, for example, arranged along a pillar and wired from the roof to the vehicle side device. The electronic control unit 51 is electrically connected to the vehicle side device 18 via the relay transmission member 19.

[0045] The electronic control unit 51 is communicatively connected to other devices provided on the roof, such as an indoor antenna 52, an external communication antenna unit 53, a lamp 54, a camera 55, and a speaker 56, via a transmission member 40. The transmission member 40 may include a communication line. The electronic control unit 51 can control other roof-side devices 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56 provided on the roof via the transmission member 40.

[0046] The transmission member 40 may include a power line. The power line included in the transmission member 40 may be directly connected to the power line included in the relay transmission member 19, or may be directly connected to the power line included in the relay transmission member 19 via a power branch box or the like. The power branch box is a device incorporating a branch circuit formed of a bus bar or the like, a circuit breaker component formed of a fuse or a semiconductor element, or the like. The power branch box may be incorporated in the electronic control unit 51, or may be configured as a device separate from the electronic control unit 51.

[0047] The positions of the roof side devices 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 on the functional sheet 30 and the path of the transmission member 40 are arbitrary. In the example shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the electronic control unit 51 and part of the lamp 54 are provided in the widthwise center of the front area of ​​the functional sheet 30. The external communication antenna unit 53 is provided in the widthwise center of the rear area of ​​the functional sheet 30. The direction in which the vehicle travels is the front, and the opposite is the rear. In addition, the left and right are determined based on the forward facing state. The electronic control unit 51 may be provided biased to the right or left of the functional sheet 30.

[0048] Here, the external communication antenna unit 53 includes external communication antennas 53a and 53b for wireless communication with devices outside the vehicle. Here, the external communication antenna unit 53 is formed in a flat shape. The external communication antennas 53a and 53b are built into the external communication antenna unit 53. The external communication antennas 53a and 53b are, for example, antennas for communicating with a wireless base station in a public communication line or a dedicated communication line, antennas for vehicle-to-vehicle communication or road-to-vehicle communication, and antennas for receiving GPS signals. Here, the external communication antenna unit 53 is a composite antenna unit including multiple external communication antennas 53a and 53b and performing external communication in multiple ways. The external communication antenna unit 53 may include only one antenna, or may include three or more antennas.

[0049] Here, the external communication antenna unit 53 is formed in a thin box shape. The external communication antenna unit may be formed in a fin shape or a rod shape. In this case, the external communication antenna unit formed in a fin shape or a rod shape may be inserted into a hole formed in the roof panel and protrude to the outside of the roof panel. This makes it easy to expose the external communication antenna to the outside, and enables good external communication through the external communication antennas 53a and 53b. It is preferable that the external communication antenna is incorporated in the fin-shaped or rod-shaped external communication antenna unit so as to be located outside the roof panel. The external communication antenna unit may be attached to the body 12 without being attached to the functional sheet 30. In this case, the connector at the end of the transmission member 40 provided on the functional sheet 30 may be connected to the external communication antenna unit on the body 12 side.

[0050] A plurality of cameras 55 are provided separately in the left-hand region and the right-hand region of the functional sheet 30. In each of the left and right regions, the plurality of cameras 55 are provided spaced apart from each other in the front and rear. Also, for example, a plurality of speakers 56 are provided separately in the left-hand region and the right-hand region of the functional sheet 30. In each of the left and right regions, the plurality of speakers 56 are provided spaced apart from each other in the front and rear. Furthermore, for example, a plurality of lamps 54 are provided separately in the left-hand region and the right-hand region of the functional sheet 30. In each of the left and right regions, the plurality of lamps 54 are provided spaced apart from each other in the front and rear.

[0051] In each of the left and right regions of the functional sheet 30, a camera 55 and a lamp 54 are provided around the frontmost speaker 56, a lamp 54 is provided around the middle speaker 56 in the front-to-rear direction, and a camera 55 and a lamp 54 are provided around the rearmost speaker 56.

[0052] Further, a plurality of indoor side antennas 52 are provided separately on the left and right sides of the functional sheet 30. Here, the plurality of indoor side antennas 52 are provided rearward of the electronic control unit 51 and forward of the external communication antenna unit 53. The plurality of indoor side antennas 52 are provided separately on the left and right sides, and furthermore, are provided separately on the front and rear sides. More specifically, the plurality of indoor side antennas 52 are disposed in areas corresponding to the seats, more specifically, above the left and right seating positions of the driver's seat, passenger seat, and rear seat. The indoor side antennas 52 are used, for example, for contactless power supply (Wi-Fi (registered trademark) power supply) and the like.

[0053] Each of the roof-side devices 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 may be provided on any surface of the functional sheet 30. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the external communication antenna unit 53 is provided on the surface of the functional sheet 30 facing the roof panel 13. Also, an example is shown in which the electronic control unit 51, the indoor antenna 52, the lamp 54, the camera 55, and the speaker 56 are provided on the surface of the functional sheet 30 facing the interior member 16.

[0054] The transmission member 40 is connected to each of the roof side devices 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 through a route that branches from the electronic control unit 51 in two directions, left and right. For example, when focusing on an area on the left side of the functional sheet 30, a part of the transmission member 40 extends leftward from the electronic control unit 51. This part of the transmission member 40 bends in front of the left edge of the functional sheet 30, extends forward or backward along the left edge, and is connected to each of the roof side devices 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 provided on the left side of the functional sheet 30. Also, for example, when focusing on an area on the right side of the functional sheet 30, another part of the transmission member 40 extends rightward from the electronic control unit 51. This other part of the transmission member 40 bends in front of the right edge of the functional sheet 30, extends forward or backward along the right edge, and is connected to each of the roof side devices 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 provided on the right side of the functional sheet 30.

[0055] The relay transmission member 19 extends forward from the electronic control unit 51. Here, the relay transmission member 19 is divided into left and right parts from the electronic control unit 51 and extends forward along the left and right edges of the functional sheet 30. The relay transmission member 19 is guided, for example, along the A-pillar to the vehicle body side. The relay transmission member 19 may be directly drawn out from the electronic control unit 51, or may be connected to the electronic control unit 51 via a connector. The relay transmission member 19 may not be attached to the functional sheet 30, and may be guided toward the A-pillar or the like in a state separated from the functional sheet 30.

[0056] In addition, when the roof-side equipment is located on a different surface from the functional sheet 30, the transmission member 40 may penetrate the functional sheet 30. For example, the transmission member 40 connected to the external communication antenna unit 53 may be routed from the electronic control unit 51 through the surface of the functional sheet 30 on the interior member 16 side to near the external communication antenna unit 53, and may penetrate the functional sheet 30 near the external communication antenna unit 53 and be drawn out to the roof panel 13 side.

[0057] The rigid member 60 is a member provided on the functional sheet 30. The rigid member 60 is a member that imparts resistance to deformation to the functional sheet 30. The rigid member 60 is preferably higher in rigidity than the functional sheet 30. The rigidity here may be evaluated, for example, by using a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 60 as a reference plane, and by the bending rigidity of the rigid member 60 on the reference plane and the bending rigidity of a partial region of the functional sheet 30 on which the rigid member 60 is provided on the reference plane. For example, the functional sheet 30 is a laminate of aluminum foil and nonwoven fabric, and the rigid member 60 may be a plate or rod made of a resin (for example, PP (polypropylene), PA (polyamide), etc.) with a filling. The rigid member 60 may be a member that is lightweight while having strength, such as a honeycomb structure member. The rigid member 60 may be formed of a metal such as iron or aluminum.

[0058] The rigid member 60 is fixed to the functional sheet 30 by adhesive, pressure sensitive adhesive, double-sided tape, welding (ultrasonic welding, heat welding, etc.), etc. The rigid member 60 may be fixed to the functional sheet 30 by screws, pins, etc. Here, the rigid member 60 is formed in a long and narrow rectangular plate shape. The length dimension of the rigid member 60 is set to be the same as the width dimension of the functional sheet 30. The length dimension of the rigid member 60 may be smaller than the width dimension of the functional sheet 30 (for example, smaller in the range of 20 cm or less) as long as the edge of the functional sheet 30 does not hang straight down. The rigid member 60 is disposed on the surface of the functional sheet 30 on the roof panel 13 side. The opposing surfaces of the two are joined by an adhesive or the like.

[0059] In this embodiment, a plurality of (here, four) rigid members 60 are fixed to the functional sheet 30. The longitudinal direction of each rigid member 60 is aligned with the width direction of the functional sheet 30. Therefore, the portion of the functional sheet 30 where the rigid members 60 are provided is kept from sagging in the width direction.

[0060] The multiple rigid members 60 are provided at intervals in the front-rear direction with respect to the functional sheet 30. Therefore, the functional sheet 30 can be folded between the multiple rigid members 60. When storing, transporting, etc., the wiring module 20 can be folded between the multiple rigid members 60, thereby making it possible to reduce the storage space and transport space for the wiring module 20.

[0061] The rigid member 60 may be disposed in any desired area on the functional sheet 30. The rigid member 60 may be provided in a partial area on the functional sheet 30.

[0062] Assuming that the speaker 56 of the roof-side equipment 50 is the roof-side equipment to be supported, the rigid member 60 may be provided in the area of ​​the functional sheet 30 where the speaker 56 is provided. In Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, a plurality of speakers 56 are provided in three separate areas, front and rear, in the front-rear direction of the functional sheet 30. The rigid member 60 is provided in the three areas where the speakers 56 are provided. In each of these areas, the rigid member 60 is fixed to the surface of the functional sheet 30 facing the roof panel 13, and the speaker 56 is fixed to the surface facing the interior member 16.

[0063] In addition, assuming that the external communication antenna unit 53 of the roof side equipment 50 is the roof side equipment to be supported, the rigid member 60 may be provided in the area of ​​the functional sheet 30 where the external communication antenna unit 53 is provided. In Figs. 2 and 3, the external communication antenna unit 53 is provided in an area closer to the rear of the functional sheet 30. The rigid member 60 is provided in the area where the external communication antenna unit 53 is provided. In this area, the rigid member 60 is fixed to the surface of the functional sheet 30 on the roof panel 13 side, and the external communication antenna unit 53 is fixed further above the rigid member 60. The external communication antenna unit 53 may be fixed to the functional sheet 30 at an outer portion of the rigid member 60. The external communication antenna unit 53 may be fixed to the rigid member 60.

[0064] The roof-side equipment to be supported may be all or a part of the plurality of roof-side equipment 50. The roof-side equipment to be supported may be a heavy equipment among the plurality of roof-side equipment 50. For example, the speaker 56 and the external communication antenna unit 53 are examples of heavy equipment. The rigid member 60 is provided in the area of ​​the functional sheet 30 where the speaker 56 and the external communication antenna unit 53 are provided, so that the speaker 56 and the external communication antenna unit 53 can be firmly supported. The roof-side equipment to be supported may be equipment exposed to the interior of the vehicle, such as the lamp 54, the camera 55, and the switch. These equipment may be pushed from inside the vehicle. Therefore, if the rigid member 60 is provided on the outside of these equipment, the pushing force can be received by the rigid member 60.

[0065] In addition, with the wiring module 20 incorporated in the roof portion 14, each roof side device 50 may be fixed to any location. The roof side device 50 may be fixed to the roof panel 13 or a frame supporting the roof panel 13. The roof side device 50 may be fixed to the interior member 16. When the rigid member 60 is fixed to the roof panel 13 or a frame supporting the roof panel 13, the roof side device 50 may only be fixed to the rigid member 60.

[0066] The rigid member 60 preferably includes a roof fixing portion 70 that is fixed to the roof portion 14, which is the roof portion of the vehicle. Here, the rigid member 60 is formed with the roof fixing portion 70 that protrudes upward. The roof fixing portion 70 is a portion that is fixed to the roof panel 13 in the roof portion 14 or a frame that supports the roof panel 13. It is assumed that the roof fixing portion 70 is, for example, a clip-shaped portion that is fixed by insertion to prevent it from coming off, or a screw. It is not essential that the rigid member 60 is fixed to the roof portion 14.

[0067] Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the wiring module 20. Fig. 5 shows the roof panel 13, a frame 13F supporting the roof panel 13, and an interior member 16. The frame 13F is, for example, a long rigid member disposed inside the roof panel 13, and is a member called a reinforcing bar or stay. The frame 13F is disposed, for example, along the vehicle width direction.

[0068] As shown in the figure, the rigid member 60 is fixed to the frame 13F via a roof fixing portion 70. The functional sheet 30 is located on the interior member 16 side of the rigid member 60.

[0069] An electronic control unit 51, an interior antenna 52, a lamp 54, a camera 55, a speaker 56, and the like are held on the surface of the functional sheet 30 facing the interior member 16. The electronic control unit 51, the interior antenna 52, the lamp 54, the camera 55, and the speaker 56 may be simply placed on the interior member 16, or may be fixed to the interior member 16 by a fitting structure. The lamp 54 and the camera 55 may be exposed to the interior of the vehicle. In this case, a recess 16h into which the lamp 54 and the camera 55 can be fitted may be formed in the interior member 16, and an opening 16ha for exposing the lamp 54 and the camera 55 to the interior of the vehicle may be formed in the recess 16h.

[0070] 5, the functional sheet 30 is provided above the lamp 54 and the camera 55, and a rigid member 60 is provided further above that. Therefore, even if the lamp 54 and the camera 55 are pushed, the force is received by the rigid member 60, and the lamp 54 and the camera 55 are prevented from retracting from the interior member 16 to the roof panel 13 side.

[0071] An external communication antenna unit 53 is provided on the surface of the functional sheet 30 facing the roof panel 13. A rigid member 60 between the external communication antenna unit 53 and the functional sheet 30 may be fixed to the frame 13F via a roof fixing part 70 on the outer side of the external communication antenna unit 53. The external communication antenna unit 53 is exposed to the outside through an antenna hole 13h formed in the roof panel 13.

[0072] The functional sheet 30 is disposed between the interior member 16 and the roof panel 13. The functional sheet 30 may be fixed to the interior member 16 or the like, or may simply be placed on the interior member 16. For example, the functional sheet 30 may be fixed to the interior member 16 or the like by double-sided tape, adhesive, welding, or the like.

[0073] As described above, the functional sheet 30 includes a layer that has at least one of a heat insulating function, a soundproofing function, and a radio wave shielding function. In FIG. 5, the functional sheet 30 includes a nonwoven layer 32 and a radio wave shielding layer 34. Here, the functional sheet 30 has a multi-layer structure in which the nonwoven layer 32 and the radio wave shielding layer 34 are stacked from the bottom to the top. The order of stacking of the layers is arbitrary. For example, the radio wave shielding layer 34 may be provided below the nonwoven layer 32. When the functional sheet has multiple functional layers, it is not essential that the multiple functional layers are arranged to overlap in the thickness direction of the functional sheet. The multiple functional layers may be provided in different regions within the area in which the functional sheet spreads. For example, the multiple functional layers may be provided side by side within the area in which the functional sheet spreads. One functional layer may be partially provided with another functional layer.

[0074] The nonwoven layer 32 is an example of a layer that exhibits heat insulation properties that make it difficult for heat to be transmitted between one main surface side and the other main surface side of the functional sheet 30. The heat insulation layer may be a layer that reflects thermal radiation energy. The heat insulation layer may be a layer that has a lower thermal conductivity than other layers. For example, the heat insulation layer may be a sheet including fine gaps, such as a foamed sheet, in addition to a nonwoven sheet. The heat insulation layer may be a heat insulating paint or a heat insulating paint.

[0075] The nonwoven layer 32 can be understood as an example of a layer that exhibits soundproofing properties that makes it difficult for sound to be transmitted between one main surface side and the other main surface side of the functional sheet 30. The soundproofing layer may be one that reflects sound or one that absorbs sound energy as thermal energy. For example, in addition to a nonwoven sheet, a sheet that includes fine gaps, such as a foamed sheet, may be used as the soundproofing layer. A sound-absorbing paint may be used as the soundproofing layer.

[0076] The thermal insulation layer and the sound insulation layer may be provided as physically separate layers.

[0077] The radio wave shielding layer 34 is a layer that makes it difficult for radio waves to be transmitted between one main surface side and the other main surface side of the functional sheet 30. The radio wave shielding layer 34 may have radio wave shielding properties for all frequencies. The radio wave shielding layer 34 may have radio wave shielding properties selective to some frequency bands. In this case, radio waves in some frequency bands may be at least one of reflected and absorbed by the radio wave shielding layer. The radio wave shielding layer 34 may be a layer formed of a metal foil such as aluminum or iron. As the radio wave shielding layer 34 having selective radio wave shielding properties, a well-known frequency selective film (FSS: Frequency Selective Surface) may be used. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a frequency selective film. The frequency selective film is a unit cell (element) formed of a metal foil or the like on a base film formed of a resin or the like. Such a frequency selective film has a property of selectively shielding radio waves of one or more frequency bands according to the frequency characteristics of the unit cell (element) and passing radio waves of other frequency bands. The radio wave shielding layer having selective radio wave shielding properties may be formed by printing a conductive paste or the like directly on the heat insulating layer or sound insulating layer.

[0078] The layers may simply be stacked on top of each other, or may be fixed by double-sided tape, adhesive, welding, or the like.

[0079] When the wiring module 20 includes the radio wave shielding layer 34, it is preferable that the external communication antenna unit 53 is provided on the vehicle exterior side with respect to the radio wave shielding layer 34. As a result, radio waves radiated from the external communication antennas 53a, 53b are shielded by the radio wave shielding layer 34 and are less likely to propagate to the interior of the vehicle. In addition, the radio waves radiated from the external communication antennas 53a, 53b are not shielded by the radio wave shielding layer 34 and are propagated to the exterior. For this reason, wireless communication with external devices (base stations, etc.) via the external communication antennas 53a, 53b is performed satisfactorily. In addition, since radio waves are not transmitted to the interior of the vehicle, the efficiency of radiation of radio waves to the exterior of the vehicle is increased. From this point of view, wireless communication with external devices (base stations, etc.) via the external communication antennas 53a, 53b is also performed satisfactorily.

[0080] Also, assuming that the wiring module 20 includes the radio wave shielding layer 34, it is preferable that the indoor antenna 52 is provided on the vehicle interior side with respect to the radio wave shielding layer 34. As a result, radio waves radiated from the indoor antenna 52 and the indoor equipment in the vehicle interior are shielded by the radio wave shielding layer 34 and are less likely to propagate to the vehicle exterior. As a result, radio waves for wireless communication by the indoor antenna 52 are shielded by the radio wave shielding layer 34 and are less likely to propagate to the vehicle exterior. On the other hand, radio waves radiated by the indoor antenna 52 are propagated to the vehicle interior side opposite the radio wave shielding layer 34 with respect to the indoor antenna 52. Therefore, wireless communication can be performed satisfactorily with the indoor equipment through the indoor antenna 52. Also, when the indoor antenna 52 performs wireless power supply to the indoor equipment, radio waves (power) do not leak to the outside of the vehicle, so that wireless power supply is performed efficiently.

[0081] In addition, since the indoor side antenna 52 is relatively thin and lightweight, it only needs to be fixed to the functional sheet 30 and does not need to be fixed to the interior member 16.

[0082] A description will now be given of one specific example of the roof fixing part 70. Figures 6 and 7 are perspective views showing the roof fixing part 70 provided on the rigid member 60. Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the roof fixing part 70.

[0083] The roof fixing portion 70 is configured such that a fitting fixing portion 72 is held in a holding hole 64 formed in the rigid member 60 .

[0084] The retaining hole 64 is formed in the plate-like portion 61 of the rigid member 60. That is, the rigid member 60 is provided with the plate-like portion 61 extending along the main surface direction thereof. The plate-like portion 61 may be a portion integrally formed with the portion of the rigid member 60 that is fixed to the functional sheet 30, or may be a portion that is attached to the portion that is fixed to the functional sheet 30 by separate welding, adhesion, screwing, fitting, or the like.

[0085] A retaining hole 64 is formed at a position spaced inward from the edge of the plate-shaped portion 61. The retaining hole 64 is formed in a circular hole shape. A slit-shaped introduction portion 65 is formed so as to extend from the retaining hole 64 toward the edge of the plate-shaped portion 61. The introduction portion 65 includes a pair of guide edges 65a that gradually narrow from the edge of the plate-shaped portion 61 toward the retaining hole 64. An escape opening 65h is formed in a portion spaced from the pair of guide edges 65a. Therefore, the pair of guide edges 65a can elastically deform so as to narrow the escape opening 65h and widen the space between the pair of guide edges 65a.

[0086] An auxiliary plate-like portion 66 is formed at a distance from the plate-like portion 61. An auxiliary hole 67 is formed in the auxiliary plate-like portion 66 at a portion facing the retaining hole 64. Between the plate-like portion 61 and the auxiliary plate-like portion 66, a gap is provided around the retaining hole 64 in which a head 74, described later, can be disposed. The auxiliary plate-like portion 66 may be omitted.

[0087] The fitting fixing portion 72 includes a fitting main body portion 73 and a fitting state maintaining pin 77 .

[0088] The fitting main body 73 is a member formed of resin or the like, and includes a head 74 and an insertion portion 75. The head 74 is formed in a disk shape. The insertion portion 75 is formed in a shape that protrudes from one main surface of the head 74. More specifically, the insertion portion 75 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The insertion portion 75 has a plurality of slits 75S formed along its axial direction. The tip portion 75e of the insertion portion 75 is formed in a shape that faces inward. The insertion portion 75 can be deformed so as to widen its tip side.

[0089] An opening 74h is formed in the head 74. The fitted state holding pin 77 is fitted into the insertion portion 75 through the opening 74h. The fitted state holding pin 77 includes a pin head 78 and a columnar portion 79. The pin head 78 is formed in a disk shape that can be arranged in the opening 74h. The columnar portion 79 is formed in an elongated shape that protrudes from the pin head 78. The tip of the pin head 78 is formed into a first guide surface 79a that gradually becomes thicker from the tip side toward the base end side. The longitudinal intermediate portion of the pin head 78 is formed into a groove portion 79b that is recessed inward along the circumferential direction. The tip portion 75e of the insertion portion 75 is fitted into this groove portion 79b. The base end of the pin head 78 is formed into a second guide surface 79c that gradually becomes thinner from the tip side toward the base end side.

[0090] The auxiliary hole 67 in the auxiliary plate-like portion 66 is formed with an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the pin head 78 .

[0091] In an initial state, the pin head 78 of the fitted state holding pin 77 protrudes outward beyond the head 74 of the fitting body 73. The base end of the insertion portion 75 of this fitting fixing portion 72 is held within the holding hole 64, and the head 74 is disposed between the plate-like portion 61 and the auxiliary plate-like portion 66, whereby the fitting fixing portion 72 is supported relative to the rigid member 60. In this state, the insertion portion 75 is held by the narrow portion between the holding hole 64 and the introduction portion 65 so as not to come out of the holding hole 64.

[0092] When the rigid member 60 is fixed to the frame 13F or the like, the insertion portion 75 is fitted into the fixing hole 13Fa formed in the frame 13F. After this, the fitting state holding pin 77 is pushed toward the fitting body portion 73. Then, the tip portion 75e of the insertion portion 75 is pushed outward by the first guide surface 79a of the pin head portion 78. As a result, the outward portion of the tip portion of the insertion portion 75 is caught or contacts the fixing hole 13Fa formed in the frame 13F so as to prevent it from coming off. The fitting state holding pin 77 is further pushed in, and the tip portion 75e of the insertion portion 75 fits into the groove portion 79b of the pin head portion 78, so that the fitting fixing portion 72 is kept in a state of being fitted into the fixing hole 13Fa formed in the frame 13F. In this state, the outward surface of the pin head portion 78 may be located on an extension of the outward surface of the head portion 74. This makes it difficult for the pin head portion 78 to be inadvertently pushed in.

[0093] When the pin head 78 is further pressed in from the above state, the fitted state between the tip 75e of the insertion portion 75 and the groove 79b of the pin head 78 is released, and the tip 75e of the insertion portion 75 can be retracted inward relative to the second guide surface 79c of the pin head 78. This eliminates the caught or contact state between the outward portion of the tip of the insertion portion 75 and the fixing hole 13Fa, and the fitted fixing portion 72 can be removed from the fixing hole 13Fa formed in the frame 13F. With this configuration, the rigid member 60 can be easily attached to and removed from the frame 13F.

[0094] According to the wiring module 20 configured in this manner, the roof-side equipment 50 and the transmission member 40 are provided on the functional sheet 30. Therefore, the wiring module 20 can be easily assembled together with the functional sheet 30, the roof-side equipment 50, and the transmission member 40 into the roof portion 14. At this time, it is considered that the functional sheet 30 may sag due to its own weight. It is also considered that the functional sheet 30 may sag due to the weight of the roof-side equipment 50 and the weight of the transmission member 40 provided on the functional sheet 30. Since the wiring module 20 may extend significantly below the roof portion 14, if a part of it sags, it becomes difficult to assemble the wiring module 20 into the roof portion 14.

[0095] In the present wiring module 20, a rigid member 60 is provided on the functional sheet 30. Therefore, the portion of the functional sheet 30 where the rigid member 60 is provided is less likely to sag. This allows the wiring module 20 to be easily incorporated into the roof portion 14.

[0096] For example, FIG. 9 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing the position of the wiring module 20 in the vehicle 10. FIG. 9 shows the positional relationship on a plane perpendicular to the left-right direction. As shown in the figure, the wiring module 20 is provided between the interior member 16 and the roof panel 13. The vehicle side devices 18A and 18B are provided on the vehicle body side. The vehicle side devices 18A and 18B are, for example, devices provided below the interior member 16 in the body 12. As described above, the vehicle side devices 18A and 18B may be a body ECU, a central ECU, or the like, or may be a power supply device. For example, the vehicle side device 18A is an ECU, and the vehicle side device 18B is a power supply device. The relay transmission member 19 drawn from the vehicle side devices 18A and 18B is drawn between the roof panel 13 and the interior member 16 through the A-pillar 11P or the like, and is connected to the electronic control unit 51. As described above, the relay transmission member 19 may be directly introduced into the electronic control unit 51, or may be connected via a connector.

[0097] The wiring module 20 is attached to the roof panel 13, for example, as follows. That is, a worker or the like lifts the wiring module 20 from below the roof panel 13 and attaches it to the roof panel 13. At this time, the worker or the like lifts up the portion of the wiring module 20 where the rigid member 60 is provided from below (see arrow P). Then, even with a relatively small number of support points, the wiring module 20 is attached to the roof panel 13 in a state where it is supported so as not to droop. Therefore, the wiring module 20 can be easily attached to the roof panel 13.

[0098] Furthermore, when the rigid member 60 is provided in an area of ​​the functional sheet 30 where the roof-side equipment to be supported (antenna unit 53 for external communication, lamp 54, camera 55, etc.) are provided, the rigid member 60 can firmly support the roof-side equipment to be supported even if it is pushed from inside the room.

[0099] Furthermore, when the rigid member 60 is fixed to the roof portion 14 via the roof fixing portion 70, the rigid member 60 is firmly fixed to the roof portion 14.

[0100] Furthermore, the retaining holes 64 in the rigid member 60 support the fitting and fixing portion 72 in a state that allows movement in the direction in which the functional sheet 30 spreads. Therefore, when the rigid member 60 in the functional sheet 30 is fixed to the roof portion 14, if there is a manufacturing error, an assembly error, or the like, the position of the fitting and fixing portion 72 is adjusted to match the position of the fixing hole 13Fa in the frame 13F. Therefore, the fitting and fixing portion 72 is easily fitted and fixed to the roof panel 13.

[0101] 10 is a perspective view showing a modification of the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, when the functional sheet 30 is present between the roof side device 50 and the rigid member 60, the roof side device 50 may be directly fixed to the rigid member 60. In this example, a fixing piece 152 is protrudingly provided on the roof side device 50, and an opening 131h is formed in an area of ​​the functional sheet 30 corresponding to the fixing piece 152. Then, a fixing member S such as a screw may be inserted into an insertion hole 152h formed in the fixing piece 152, and may be fixed to a fixing hole formed in the rigid member 60 by screwing through the opening 131h.

[0102] [Embodiment 2] A description will be given of a wiring module set according to embodiment 2. Fig. 11 is an exploded perspective view showing a wiring module set 210. In Fig. 2, the roof portion 14 is shown.

[0103] The wiring module set 210 includes a wiring module 20 and an interior member side wiring module 220 .

[0104] The wiring module 20 may have the same configuration as that described in the first embodiment above.

[0105] The interior member-side wiring module 220 is a wiring module provided in the interior member 16. The interior member-side wiring module 220 includes an interior member-side transmission member 240. The interior member-side transmission member 240 may be the same as the above-mentioned transmission member 40. Here, the description will be given assuming that the interior member-side transmission member 240 is an electric wire.

[0106] The interior member side transmission member 240 is connected to a roof side device 250 that is a part of the devices incorporated in the roof portion 14. The interior member side transmission member 240 may be directly led into the roof side device 250 and directly connected to the electric components therein, or may be connected via a connector. This roof side device 250 is not fixed to the functional sheet 30. The roof side device 250 may be fixed to the interior member 16, the roof panel 13, the frame 13F, etc. FIG. 11 shows an example in which the roof side device 250 is fixed to the interior member 16.

[0107] The interior member-side wiring module 220 may be incorporated into the roof portion 14 together with the roof side device 250, or may be incorporated into the roof portion 14 separately from the roof side device 250 and connected to the roof side device 250 via a connector in the roof portion 14. The interior member-side transmission member 240 may be fixed to the interior member 16 by an adhesive tape, an adhesive, or the like.

[0108] The interior member side transmission member 240 may be a wiring path independent of the wiring module 20. For example, the interior member side transmission member 240 may be connected to the vehicle side device via a relay transmission member 219 different from the relay transmission member 19.

[0109] According to the second embodiment, the interior member side transmission member 240 in the interior member side wiring module 220 and the transmission member 40 in the wiring module 20 can be separately assembled into the roof portion 14 of the vehicle. This makes it easy to deal with different grades, the presence or absence of optional parts, and the like.

[0110] For example, a plurality of roof side devices mounted on the roof portion 14 of the vehicle grade A roof-side device that is installed regardless of the presence or absence of an option (which may be called a common roof-side device, for example, a map lamp, etc.) and a vehicle grade and roof-side equipment that may or may not be incorporated depending on the presence or absence of options (which may be referred to as optional roof-side equipment, for example, a camera, an interior antenna, etc.). Wiring connected to the former roof-side equipment may be incorporated into the interior member-side wiring module 220 as the interior member-side transmission member 240. Wiring connected to the latter roof-side equipment may be incorporated into the wiring module 20 as the transmission member 40. This makes it possible to manufacture the base specifications for the vehicle using the interior member-side wiring module 220, and easily accommodate various uses in which roof-side equipment is added to this by assembling it together with the functional sheet 30 all at once.
