Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a harness mounting member for mounting a second wire harness to a first wire harness, and to a wire harness routing structure in which the harness mounting member is mounted to the first wire harness and the second wire harness. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, a wire harness is arranged in a vehicle taking into consideration the types of electrical devices mounted on the vehicle, the positional relationship with a battery that supplies power, etc. To prevent interference with other components arranged in the vicinity, this wire harness may be housed in an exterior member that is composed of, for example, a base body having an opening for housing the wire harness and a cover that covers the opening (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] In recent years, various electrical devices are often installed in vehicles as options in order to improve operability and safety. For this reason, the wire harnesses installed in a vehicle include a first wire harness that electrically connects the standard installed electrical devices such as the battery, and a second wire harness that connects the optional electrical devices to the battery.

[0004] However, in order to protect the second wire harness using a protector such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a problem in that it requires the time-consuming task of removing a cover covering the opening, making the installation work of attaching the second wire harness to the first wire harness complicated. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-182897 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a harness mounting member and a wire harness routing structure that enable a second wire harness to be easily mounted to a first wire harness. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention relates to a harness mounting member for mounting a second wire harness in parallel to a first wire harness routed along a predetermined routing path, the harness mounting member including an exterior body that exteriors at least a part of the first wire harness along a longitudinal direction, and a band-shaped body that extends from the exterior body in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction and is wound around the outside of the first wire harness, the harness mounting member including a harness placement section that places the second wire harness, a holding member attachment section that attaches a holding member that holds the second wire harness placed in the harness placement section, and a band fixing section that fixes the band body wound around the outside of the first wire harness. The exterior body is provided with a plurality of insertion holes through which the band body is inserted for each of the band bodies, the insertion holes are arranged at different positions from one end side to the other end side in the longitudinal direction, and adjacent insertion holes in the longitudinal direction are arranged on different sides in the intersecting direction. It is characterized by:

[0008] The present invention also relates to a wire harness wiring structure including a first wire harness routed along a predetermined wiring path, a second wire harness arranged parallel to the first wire harness, and the above-mentioned harness mounting member, in which at least a portion of the first wire harness is exteriorized by the exterior body along the longitudinal direction, the band body is wrapped around the outside of the first wire harness and fixed by the band fixing portion, and the second wire harness arranged in the harness arrangement portion is held by the retaining member attached to the retaining member mounting portion.

[0009] The term "parallel" includes not only the case where the first wire harness and the second wire harness are parallel, but also the case where they are arranged substantially parallel, that is, the state where the second wire harness is held so as to be aligned with the first wire harness inserted into the protector.

[0010] The band body may be integrally formed with the exterior body, or may be integrally formed with the exterior body that is separately formed and fixed thereto by welding, adhesion, etc. Note that the band body may be provided in a single piece or in a plurality of pieces. The band fixing portion includes a structure in which the band body is locked to the exterior body, a structure in which the band body is fitted to the exterior body by being pressed into the exterior body, and a structure in which the band body is adhered to the exterior body using an adhesive or the like.

[0011] The holding member includes a tape for fixing the second wire harness to the holding member attachment portion, and other members that can be fixed to the holding member attachment portion by engagement or fitting, etc. The other members may be configured integrally with the exterior body or separately.

[0012] The insertion hole may be provided in a single or multiple number. In addition, when a plurality of insertion holes are provided, the insertion hole may be provided in a multiple number along at least one of the width direction and the length direction. The insertion hole may be provided in a plurality of directions along at least one of the width direction and the length direction.

[0013] According to this invention, the second wire harness can be attached to the first wire harness simply by placing the second wire harness on the exterior body to which the first wire harness is fixed by the band body and holding the second wire harness against the holding member attachment portion with the holding member. Therefore, the second wire harness can be easily attached to the first wire harness.

[0014] The exterior body is provided with an insertion hole through which the band body is inserted. This allows the band body wound around the first wire harness to be inserted into the insertion hole, and the outside of the first wire harness to be further wound with the band body, thereby making it possible to reliably wrap the exterior body around the first wire harness regardless of the outer diameter of the first wire harness.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of the insertion holes are provided for one of the band bodies. This allows the insertion hole through which the band body is inserted to be appropriately selected. For example, the band body can be inserted into an appropriate insertion hole according to the outer diameter of the first wire harness and fixed to the band fixing part. Therefore, the first wire harness can be reliably fixed to the exterior body and the positional deviation of the first wire harness with respect to the exterior body can be prevented.

[0016] In addition, when a plurality of insertion holes are provided along the width direction, a plurality of wire harnesses can be assembled to the exterior body. This allows various designs of wire harnesses to be accommodated. Also, the wire harnesses can be retrofitted to the exterior body.

[0017] The insertion holes are arranged at different positions from one end side to the other end side in the longitudinal direction, and adjacent insertion holes in the longitudinal direction are arranged on different sides in the intersecting direction.

[0018] According to this configuration, the band body can be wound around the first wire harness in a spiral shape by inserting the band body through the insertion holes arranged at different positions from one end side to the other end side in the longitudinal direction. This makes it possible to bring the first wire harness into close contact with the exterior body along the longitudinal direction and suppress bending. Therefore, the first wire harness can be reliably protected and the excess length of the first wire harness can be shortened.

[0019] As an aspect of the present invention, the holding member may be configured with a clamping body that clamps the second wire harness placed in the harness placement portion between the holding member and the harness placement portion, and the clamping body may be provided. The sandwiching body may be formed, for example, of a resin molded member or a resin sheet material. The sandwiching body may be formed integrally with the exterior body or separately, and may be formed integrally with the exterior body that is separately formed by fixing the sandwiching body to the exterior body by welding, adhesion, or the like.

[0020] According to this invention, the second wire harness can be surrounded by the outer casing and the clamping body, so that the second wire harness can be easily and securely held and the second wire harness can be prevented from interfering with and being damaged by other components arranged outside the clamping body.

[0021] In a further aspect of the present invention, the exterior body and the sandwiching body may be made of a resin sheet material. The resin sheet material is not particularly limited as long as it can be folded, and includes both thermoplastic resin sheets and thermosetting resin sheets. In addition, it is preferable that the resin sheet material is a synthetic resin foam sheet material composed of a synthetic resin foam molded into a foamed or porous shape. This makes it possible to provide the harness attachment member with excellent flexibility and cushioning properties, and to further improve wearability and processability.

[0022] According to the present invention, since the resin sheet material has superior processability compared to a resin molded product, the productivity of the exterior body and the sandwiching body can be improved. Also, the weight of the wire harness and the exterior member that are covered with the exterior body can be reduced.

[0023] As a further aspect of the present invention, a hinge portion may be provided that pivotally connects the clamping body and the exterior body. According to this invention, the second wire harness can be easily sandwiched between the harness placement portion and the sandwiching body. Also, since the sandwiching body and the exterior body are integrally formed, the number of parts can be reduced.

[0024] As a further aspect of the present invention, a clamping and fixing part may be provided for fixing the exterior body and the clamping body in a clamped state. According to this invention, the second wire harness can be reliably held, and the second wire harness can be prevented from unintentionally falling off the exterior body.

[0025] In another aspect of the invention, the clamping fixing portion may be formed by a notch provided in the outer body and the clamping body at a corresponding position in the clamped state, and at least one of the clamping fixing portions formed by the notch may elastically deform and engage with the other to fix the clamped state.

[0026] According to this invention, when the clamping fixing part is in a clamped state, the exterior body and the clamping body can be fixed with a simple structure in which at least one of the corresponding exterior body and the clamping body is cut. Also, no other member is required to fix the exterior body and the clamping body, which reduces the number of parts and improves productivity.

[0027] In another aspect of the present invention, a locking portion protruding in the width direction of the band body is provided on the tip side of the band body, and the band fixing portion may be a locking portion that locks with the locking portion of the band body when inserted. According to this invention, the band body can be more easily fixed to the exterior body with a simple configuration, and therefore the first wire harness can be more easily fixed to the exterior body.

[0028] In another aspect of the present invention, the locking portion may be formed in a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the base end side of the band body toward the tip end side, and multiple locking portions formed in a tapered shape may be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the band.

[0029] According to this invention, the tapered locking portion is guided to the locked portion, so that the locking portion can be easily and reliably locked to the locked portion. Also, the locking portions arranged in stages can be locked to the locked portion according to the outer diameter of the first wire harness. Therefore, the first wire harness can be covered with an exterior body, and the first wire harness can be prevented from being displaced.

[0030] As a further aspect of the present invention, the exterior body may be folded in the intersecting direction at a folding portion provided midway in the intersecting direction. According to this invention, by folding the exterior body at the folding portion, the wire harness arranged in the exterior body can be surrounded, so that the wire harness can be protected more reliably. Effect of the Invention

[0031] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a harness mounting member and a wire harness routing structure that can easily mount a second wire harness to a first wire harness. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0037] Here, the up-down direction in Fig. 1 is defined as the up-down direction Z, the extension direction of the wire harness 10 is defined as the longitudinal direction L, and the width direction of the exterior member 20 in Fig. 1 is defined as the width direction W. The right front side in Fig. 1 is defined as the right side Wr, and the left rear side is defined as the left side Wl. The longitudinal direction L, the width direction W, and the up-down direction Z are all perpendicular to each other.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 1, the wire harness arrangement structure 1 includes an exterior member 20 that is arranged to exteriorly cover a part of a wire harness 10 arranged along a longitudinal direction L. The wire harness 10 is composed of a first harness 11 that electrically connects electrical devices that are installed in the vehicle as standard, such as a battery, and two second harnesses 12 that electrically connect optional devices that are installed as options, such as a battery, to the optional devices.

[0039] The first harness 11 is routed along a predetermined routing path in the vehicle. A portion of the first harness 11 that is routed near other components mounted on the vehicle is sheathed with, for example, an exterior member 20. This prevents the first harness 11 from interfering with the other components and being damaged. The second harness 12 is arranged so as to be parallel to the first harness 11 at least in the portion where it is sheathed in the sheathing member 20 .

[0040] The exterior member 20 is a protective member having flexibility and elasticity, and is composed of a flat exterior body 30 aligned along the longitudinal direction L of the wire harness 10, a band body 40 extending from the left end Wl of the exterior body 30 toward the width direction W, and a door portion 50 that holds the second harness 12 together with the exterior body 30.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 2, the exterior body 30 is integrally formed with an exterior body main body 31 having a generally rectangular shape when viewed from above, and wire holding portions 32 protruding in the longitudinal direction L from both ends of the exterior body main body 31 in the longitudinal direction L. The exterior body main body 31, which is generally rectangular in plan view, is made of a rectangular thin plate material punched out from a sheet material 70 described below. The back surface of this exterior body main body 31 constitutes a first arrangement section 311 in which the first harness 11 is arranged, and the front surface of the exterior body main body 31 constitutes a second arrangement section 312 in which the second harness 12 is arranged.

[0042] On one side (left side Wl) of the exterior body main body 31 in the width direction W, two band bodies 40 configured in a belt shape extend along the width direction W. Furthermore, on the other side (right side Wr) of the exterior body main body 31 in the width direction W, two band fixing parts 33 penetrating in the plate thickness direction are provided at a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction L. Furthermore, between the band fixing parts 33 in the exterior body main body 31, body side fixing parts 34 formed by cutting the exterior body main body 31 are provided. In addition, a welded fixing portion 60 is formed at the connecting portion between the exterior body 31 and the electric wire holding portion 32 and at the connecting portion between the exterior body 31 and the band body 40.

[0043] The band fixing portion 33 provided in the exterior body 31 is a through hole configured so that the band body 40 can be inserted therethrough to be locked and fixed. In detail, the band fixing portion 33 is composed of a locking hole 331 that penetrates the exterior body 31 in the plate thickness direction on the inner side in the width direction W of the exterior body 31 than the end portion in the width direction W, and a deformation promoting portion 332 that communicates between the locking hole 331 and the outer side in the width direction W of the exterior body 31.

[0044] The locking hole 331 is a through-hole having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view, penetrating the exterior body 31 in the plate thickness direction of the exterior body 31. The locking hole 331 is configured so that its long side along the longitudinal direction L is generally the same length as the width length (length in the longitudinal direction L) of the band body 41 described below, and its short side along the width direction W is generally the same length as the plate thickness of the band body 41.

[0045] The deformation promoting portion 332 is a through hole that penetrates the exterior body main body 31 in the plate thickness direction of the exterior body main body 31, and is provided on the outside of the locking hole 331 in the width direction W. The deformation promoting portion 332 communicates with a central portion of the locking hole 331 in the longitudinal direction L and the outside of the exterior body main body 31 in the width direction W. The length of the deformation promoting portion 332 in the longitudinal direction L is configured to be shorter than that of the locking hole 331.

[0046] The band fixing part 33 configured in this manner is provided at a position corresponding to the band body 40. In other words, the band fixing part 33 is provided at the end of the exterior body 31 opposite the welded fixing part 60.

[0047] 2, the body-side fixing portion 34 is a generally L-shaped cut in plan view formed by cutting through the other side (right side Wr) of the width direction W of the exterior body main body 31 in the plate thickness direction at the center of the longitudinal direction L of the exterior body main body 31. In detail, the body-side fixing portion 34 is composed of two first body cuts 341 cut along the width direction W from the end on the other side (right side Wr) of the width direction W, and a second body cut 342 extending inward in the longitudinal direction L from the end of the first body cuts 341 on the left side Wl.

[0048] Main body first notch 341 has a length that is about one-quarter of the length of exterior body 31 in width direction W, and main body second notch 342 has a length that is about half of main body first notch 341. The portion surrounded by main body first notch 341 and main body second notch 342 is main body central locking piece 351, and the outer portion in the longitudinal direction L of main body side fixing parts 34, 34 is main body outer locking piece 352. The main body side fixing portion 34 configured in this manner, together with a door side fixing portion 53 provided on the door portion 50 described later, constitutes a sandwiching fixing portion 21 that fixes the door portion 50 and the exterior body 30 together.

[0049] The electric wire holding portion 32 extends from the center portion in the width direction W of the exterior body 31 along the longitudinal direction L. Note that the welding fixing portion 60 is provided at the connecting portion between the electric wire holding portion 32 and the exterior body 31 as described above.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 2, the band body 40 is composed of a band main body 41 extending in the width direction W and a plurality of locking portions 42 provided on the tip side of the band main body 41. The band body 41 is a strip-shaped flat plate having sufficient flexibility and is configured with the same plate thickness as the exterior body 31.

[0051] The locking portion 42 is configured in a generally isosceles trapezoidal shape in plan view, with parts protruding toward both sides in the width direction (longitudinal direction L) of the band body 41 in plan view. In detail, the locking portion 42 is configured in a generally isosceles trapezoidal shape in plan view, with sides along the longitudinal direction L parallel to each other and inclined toward the inside of the longitudinal direction L as it approaches the outside of the width direction W (the direction opposite to the direction in which the band body 41 is connected to the exterior body 30). The length of the short side of the two parallel sides along the longitudinal direction L is the same as the width of the band body 41.

[0052] 2, the locking portion 42 is formed in a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the base end side (the side where the band body 41 is connected to the exterior body 30) of the band body 41 toward the tip end side. The locking portion 42 protrudes in the width direction (longitudinal direction L) of the band body 41 beyond the band body 41 toward the base end side.

[0053] The three locking portions 42 configured in this manner are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction (width direction W) of the band body 41. The interval between the three aligned locking portions 42 is configured to be longer than the plate thickness of the exterior body 31. The three locking portions 42 arranged side by side are referred to as locking portions 42a, 42b, and 42c from the tip end to the base end of the band body 41.

[0054] The door section 50 is composed of a plate-shaped door main body 51, a hinge portion 52 that allows the door main body 51 to pivot freely, and a door side fixing portion 53 that constitutes the clamping fixing portion 21 that fixes the door section 50 and the exterior body 30.

[0055] The door main body 51, like the exterior body 31, is a flat plate cut out from a sheet material 70 described below and has a generally rectangular shape in plan view. 2 and 3, the hinge portion 52 is configured to allow the door main body 51 to pivot relative to the exterior body 31. The hinge portion 52 is cut out integrally with the door main body 51 from the sheet material 70, and an end portion of the hinge portion 52 is welded and fixed to the exterior body 31, thereby connecting the door main body 51 and the exterior body 31.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 2, the door-side fixing portion 53 is a cut that is approximately L-shaped in plan view and is formed by cutting through the left end portion Wl of the door body 51 in the thickness direction at the center portion of the door body 51 in the longitudinal direction L.

[0057] More specifically, the door side fixing portion 53 is composed of two door first notches 531 cut from the left Wl end of the door main body 51 along the width direction W, and a door second notch 532 extending outward in the longitudinal direction L from the right Wr end of the door first notches 531. The door first notches 531 are disposed on the inside in the longitudinal direction L of the main body first notches 341.

[0058] The door first cutout 531 has a length approximately equal to that of the main body first cutout 341, and the door second cutout 532 has a length approximately equal to that of the main body second cutout 342. The portion surrounded by the door first cutout 531 and the door second cutout 532 is the door central locking piece 541, and the area between the door central locking pieces 541, 541 is the central piece 542. As described above, the door side fixing portion 53 configured in this manner, together with the main body side fixing portion 34 provided on the exterior body 30, constitutes the clamping fixing portion 21 that fixes the door portion 50 and the exterior body 30 together.

[0059] The exterior member 20 configured in this manner is manufactured by cutting out shapes corresponding to the exterior body main body 31, the wire holding portion 32, the band body 40, and the door portion 50 from the elastic sheet material 70, which is flexible enough to be bent, and then welding the wire holding portion 32, the band body 40, and the door portion 50 to the cut-out exterior body main body 31 in the desired positions.

[0060] This will be explained in more detail below. The sheet material 70 is a thermoplastic resin foam sheet made of a synthetic resin foam molded into a foamed or porous shape, and has a certain rigidity, flexibility, elasticity, and thermoplasticity. In addition, since it is formed in a sheet shape, it has excellent processability. Furthermore, it is lighter than a molded resin product (e.g., made of polypropylene) having the same shape as the exterior member 20.

[0061] The density of the resin sheet constituting the sheet material 70 is not particularly limited, but for example, in order to prevent anisotropy of the mechanical properties, i.e., to make the mechanical properties isotropic and improve the freedom of design of the exterior member 20, and to further improve the strength against stress of the wire harness 10 exteriorized in the exterior member 20, a density of 200 kg / m3 or more and 1000 kg / m3 or less is preferable, and in order to further improve the balance between light weight and mechanical strength, a density of 300 kg / m3 or more and 600 kg / m3 or less is more preferable, and a density of 350 kg / m3 or more and 550 kg / m3 or less is particularly preferable.

[0062] The thickness of the sheet material 70 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.50 mm or more and 4.0 mm or less, and particularly preferably 1.0 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less, from the viewpoint of further improving the balance between the ease of folding and the mechanical strength, particularly the mechanical strength against the stress applied to the wire harness 10 sheathed in the sheath member 20, and is not particularly limited. The thermoplastic resin foamed sheet may have a non-foamed layer formed on both sides or one side.

[0063] That is, the sheet material 70 (thermoplastic resin foam sheet) may have a foam layer and a non-foam layer formed on the foam layer. By forming a non-foam layer on the surface of the thermoplastic resin foam sheet, the mechanical strength of the exterior member 20 is improved, and the protective performance of the exterior wire harness 10 is further improved. The thickness of the non-foam layer is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 10 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

[0064] The bubble density of the foamed layer of the sheet material 70 is not particularly limited, and the lower limit is preferably 800 bubbles / mm3 or more, and particularly preferably 1000 bubbles / mm3 or more, from the viewpoint of more reliably preventing anisotropy of mechanical properties. On the other hand, the upper limit of the bubble density can be, for example, 1010 bubbles / mm3 or less, from the viewpoint of more reliably obtaining excellent mechanical strength.

[0065] From the sheet material 70 as described above, as shown in FIG. 4, a rectangular mold (main body mold 31A) that matches the outer shape of the exterior body 31, a rectangular mold (fixing portion mold 32A) that matches the outer shape of the wire holding portion 32, a mold (band mold 40A) that matches the outer shape of the band body 40, and a mold (door portion mold 50A) that matches the outer diameter of the door portion 50 are each separately punched out.

[0066] Then, the body mold 31A thus punched out is penetrated in the thickness direction at predetermined positions to provide the band fixing parts 33, 33, and a cut is made between the band fixing parts 33 to form the body side fixing parts 34. Also, a cut is made at a desired position in the door part mold 50A to form the door side fixing parts 53.

[0067] Then, the fixed part mold 32A, the band mold 40A, and the door part mold 50A are placed one on top of the other at a desired position on the main body mold 31A, and heat is applied to weld and fix the fixed part mold 32A, the band mold 40A, and the door part mold 50A to the main body mold 31A. This makes it possible to manufacture the exterior member 20 in which the exterior body 30, the band body 40, and the door part 50 are integrally configured.

[0068] In this manner, the exterior member 20 is formed by separately punching out the exterior body 31, the electric wire holding portion 32, the band body 40, and the door portion 50 from the sheet material 70 and then welding and fixing them. This makes it possible to improve the yield of the sheet material 70 and improve productivity, compared to a case in which the exterior member 20 is punched out from the sheet material 70. In addition, the design of various shapes of the exterior member 20 can be changed according to the arrangement location and arrangement shape relative to the wire harness 10.

[0069] Next, a method for sheathing the first harness 11 and the second harness 12 with the exterior member 20 thus manufactured will be briefly described. First, the first harness 11 is placed in the center of the first placement portion 311 in the width direction W of the exterior body 31, and the first harness 11 and the electric wire holding portion 32 are taped together with the fixing tape B. Then, the band body 40 extending from the width direction W of the exterior body 31 is wound around the outside of the first harness 11, and the locking portion 42 provided at the tip of the band body 41 is inserted into the band fixing portion 33 and locked.

[0070] More specifically, the locking portion 42 (locking portion 42a) provided at the tip of the band main body 41 wound around the outside of the first harness 11 is inserted into the locking hole 331. At this time, since the deformation promoting portion 332 is provided on the outside of the locking hole 331 in the width direction W, by inserting the locking portion 42a into the locking hole 331, the end portion in the longitudinal direction L of the locking hole 331 is pushed by the locking portion 42a and warped toward the back side of the exterior body 31. This allows the locking portion 42a to be inserted into the locking hole 331.

[0071] Then, the locking portion 42a penetrates the locking hole 331, causing the locking hole 331 to return to its original shape, and the band main body 41 is inserted into the locking hole 331, and the rear surface of the exterior body 31 and the locking portion 42 are locked together. This allows the exterior member 20 to be exteriorly attached to the first harness 11 (see FIGS. 5(a) and 7(b)).

[0072] Next, the two exterior members 20 are placed in the second arrangement portion 312, and the exterior members 20 and the electric wire holding portion 32 are fastened with the fixing tape B to hold the exterior members 20 in the electric wire holding portion 32. Then, the door portion 50 is pivoted around the hinge portion 52 as a pivot axis so that the exterior members 20 are sandwiched between the door main body 51 and the second arrangement portion 312 (exterior body 31), and the main body side fixing portion 34 and the door side fixing portion 53 are fixed (see FIG. 5(b)).

[0073] The fixing of the main body side fixing part 34 and the door side fixing part 53 will be described with reference to FIG. With the second harness 12 placed in the second placement section 312 as described above, the door main body 51 is pivoted (see FIG. 6(a)), and the door main body 51 and the exterior body main body 31 are overlapped. When overlapping the door main body 51 and the exterior body main body 31, the door central locking pieces 541, 541 surrounded by the door first notch 531 and the door second notch 532 are curved toward the door section 50, and the main body central locking pieces 351, 351 surrounded by the main body first notch 341 and the main body second notch 342 are curved toward the exterior body 30 (see FIG. 6(b)).

[0074] Then, the main body central locking piece 351, 351 curved toward the door portion 50 is inserted between the door central locking piece 541 and the central piece 542, and the door central locking piece 541, 541 curved toward the outer casing 30 is inserted between the main body central locking piece 351 and the main body outer locking piece 352.

[0075] Here, since the exterior body 30 and the door section 50 have elasticity, a restoring force acts on the body side fixing section 34 and the door side fixing section 53 formed by cutting the exterior body main body 31 and the door main body 51. As a result, the body center locking pieces 351, 351 are sandwiched between the door center locking piece 541 and the center piece 542, and the door center locking pieces 541, 541 are sandwiched between the body center locking piece 351 and the body outer side locking piece 352. Therefore, the body side fixing section 34 and the door side fixing section 53 engage with each other, and the exterior body 30 and the door section 50 can be fixed in a sandwiched state in which the second harness 12 is sandwiched between them.

[0076] Furthermore, when the outer shape of the first harness 11 is small, the locking portion 42 (42b) is inserted into the locking hole 331, thereby enabling the exterior member 20 to be securely fitted around the first harness 11 (see Figs. 7(a) and 7(b)). In this manner, by providing the locking portions 42 in stages, it is possible to properly hold a first harness 11 having a large outer diameter (see Fig. 7(c)) and a first harness 11 having a small outer diameter (see Fig. 7(b)). Therefore, the exterior member 20 can be fitted around first harnesses 11 of various outer diameters.

[0077] In this way, the exterior member 20 is for mounting the second harness 12 in parallel to the first harness 11 routed along a predetermined routing path, and includes an exterior body 30 that covers at least a part of the first harness 11 along the longitudinal direction L, and a belt-shaped band body 40 that extends from the exterior body 30 in the width direction W and wraps around the outside of the first harness 11. The exterior body 30 has a second arrangement section 312 for arranging the second harness 12, a door section 50 that is sandwiched between the electric wire holding section 32 and the second arrangement section 312 and that attaches the fixing tape B that holds the second harness 12 arranged in the second arrangement section 312, and a band fixing section 33 that fixes the band body 40 wound around the outside of the first harness 11.

[0078] The wire harness wiring structure 1 includes a first harness 11 routed along a predetermined wiring path, a second harness 12 arranged substantially parallel to the first harness 11, and an exterior member 20. At least a portion of the second harness 12 is sheathed by an exterior body 30 along the longitudinal direction L, a band body 40 is wound around the outside of the first harness 11 and fixed by a band fixing portion 33, and the second harness 12 arranged in the second arrangement portion 312 is held by a fixing tape B attached to the electric wire holding portion 32.

[0079] As a result, the second harness 12 can be easily attached to the first harness 11 by simply placing the second harness 12 on the exterior body 30 to which the first harness 11 is fixed by the band body 40 and holding it in place with the fixing tape B.

[0080] Furthermore, the door section 50 is provided to sandwich the second harness 12 placed in the second placement section 312 between the second placement section 312, so that the second harness 12 can be surrounded by the exterior body 30 and the door section 50. This makes it possible to easily and reliably hold the second harness 12, and also prevents the second harness 12 from interfering with other members placed outside and being damaged.

[0081] Furthermore, the exterior body 30 and the door section 50 are made of a sheet material 70. This sheet material 70 is excellent in processability and lightweight compared to resin molding, and therefore the productivity of the exterior body 30 and the door section 50 can be improved, and the weight of the wire harness arrangement structure 1 and the exterior member 20 in which the exterior body 30 is arranged on the wire harness 10 can be reduced.

[0082] Furthermore, by providing the hinge portion 52 that pivotally connects the door portion 50 and the exterior body 30, the second harness 12 can be easily sandwiched between the second arrangement portion 312 and the door portion 50. Furthermore, since the door portion 50 and the exterior body 30 are integrally configured, the number of parts can be reduced.

[0083] Furthermore, by providing a clamping fixing portion 21 (main body side fixing portion 34 and door side fixing portion 53) that fixes the outer body 30 and the door portion 50 in a clamped state, it is possible to prevent the second harness 12 from unintentionally falling off the outer body 30.

[0084] Furthermore, the body-side fixing part 34 and the door-side fixing part 53 are formed by notches provided in the exterior body 30 and the door part 50 at positions corresponding to each other in the sandwiched state. The body-side fixing part 34 and the door-side fixing part 53 formed by the notches are configured to elastically deform and engage with the door-side fixing part 53 and the body-side fixing part 34, respectively, thereby fixing the sandwiched state.

[0085] This allows the exterior body 30 and the door section 50 to be fixed with a simple structure in which the exterior body 30 and the door section 50 are cut and formed while the main body side fixing part 34 and the door side fixing part 53 are sandwiched between them. Also, since there is no need to attach other members to fix the exterior body 30 and the door section 50, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and improve productivity.

[0086] Furthermore, the band body 40 is provided at its tip with a band-like locking portion 42 that protrudes in the width direction, and the band fixing portion 33 is configured to lock with the locking portion 42 of the inserted band body 40, so that the band body 40 can be fixed to the exterior body 30 more easily with a simple configuration. Therefore, the first harness 11 can be fixed to the exterior body 30 more easily.

[0087] Furthermore, the locking portion 42 is formed in a tapered shape that gradually narrows from the base end side to the tip end side of the band body 40, and multiple locking portions 42 formed in a tapered shape are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the band, so that the locking portions 42 formed in a tapered shape are guided into the band fixing portion 33.

[0088] This allows the locking portion 42 to be easily and reliably locked to the band fixing portion 33, and the locking portions 42 arranged in stages can be locked to the band fixing portion 33 in accordance with the outer diameter of the first harness 11. Therefore, the exterior body 30 can be fitted around the first harness 11, and displacement of the first harness 11 can be prevented.

[0089] Further, the configuration of the exterior member 20 is not limited to this, and various other embodiments are possible. For example, an exterior member 20x, which is another embodiment of the exterior member 20, and a wire harness arrangement structure 1x in which the exterior member 20x is arranged to exterior the wire harness 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 8 and 9.

[0090] Here, Fig. 8 shows a plan view of the exterior member 20x, and Fig. 9 shows a front view of the wire harness routing structure 1x in which the exterior member 20x is arranged to exteriorly cover the wire harness 10. In Figs. 5 and 6, the same components as those in Figs. 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 8, the exterior member 20x is made up of an exterior body 30x corresponding to the exterior body 30, a band body 40, and a door portion 50. The exterior body 30x is composed of an exterior body main body 31x having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view and an electric wire holding portion 32. The exterior body main body 31x has a belt-shaped band body 40 extending along the width direction W, a plurality of band fixing portions 33 and main body side fixing portions 34 provided therein, and further has an insertion hole 36 provided therein.

[0092] Two insertion holes 36 are provided for each band body 40 at a predetermined interval along the width direction W. That is, a total of four insertion holes 36 corresponding to the two band bodies 40 are provided in the exterior member 20x. The through holes 36 arranged in parallel along the width direction W are referred to as the through hole 36a and the through hole 36b in that order from the left side Wl to the right side Wr.

[0093] The insertion hole 36 is a rectangular through-hole penetrating through the exterior body 31x in the plate thickness direction. More specifically, it is a rectangular through-hole with a long side along the longitudinal direction L and a short side along the width direction W, and the length of the long side is the same as the long side of the locking portion 42 protruding from the width direction of the band body 41. The short side is slightly longer than the plate thickness of the band body 41. In other words, the insertion hole 36 is configured to allow the band body 40 to be inserted therethrough.

[0094] Next, a method for mounting the exterior member 20x thus configured on the wire harness 10 will be briefly described. First, similarly to the exterior member 20, the first harness 11 is placed in the center of the first placement portion 311 in the exterior body 31 in the width direction W, and the first harness 11 and the wire holding portion 32 are fastened together with the fixing tape B.

[0095] Next, the two exterior members 20 are placed in the second arrangement portion 312, and the exterior members 20 and the electric wire holding portion 32 are taped together with the fixing tape B to hold the exterior members 20 in the electric wire holding portion 32. Then, the door portion 50 is pivoted around the hinge portion 52 as a pivot axis so that the exterior members 20 are sandwiched between the door main body 51 and the second arrangement portion 312 (exterior body 31), and the insertion hole 36 and the door-side fixing portion 53 are fixed.

[0096] Then, the band body 40 extending from the width direction W of the exterior body 31 is wound around the outside of the first harness 11, and the band body 40 is inserted into the insertion hole 36b, and the tip of the band body 40 is pulled out to the second placement portion 312 side.

[0097] Next, the band body 40 pulled out from the insertion hole 36b is wound around the outside of the two second harnesses 12, and the tip of the band body 40 is inserted into the insertion hole 36a, and the band body 40 is pulled out toward the first arrangement section 311. Then, the band body 40 pulled out from the insertion hole 36a to the first arrangement section 311 side is wound around the outside of the first harness 11, and the locking section 42 provided at the tip of the band main body 41 is inserted into the band fixing section 33 and locked.

[0098] In this manner, the exterior member 20x can wrap the first harness 11 and the second harness 12 with the band body 40, and can sandwich and protect the second harness 12 between the exterior body main body 31 and the door main body 51, and can fix the first harness 11 and the second harness 12 with the band body 40. This can reliably prevent the second harness 12 from falling off even if the door main body 51 is unintentionally opened relative to the exterior body main body 31.

[0099] The exterior member 20x configured in this manner has a similar configuration to the exterior member 20, and exerts the same effects. In addition, since the exterior body 30 is provided with the insertion hole 36 through which the band body 40 is inserted, the band body 40 wound around the first harness 11 can be inserted into the insertion hole 36, and the band body 40 can be further wound around the outside of the first harness 11. This allows the exterior body 30 to be reliably wrapped around the first harness 11.

[0100] Furthermore, since the exterior member 20x is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 36 for one band body 40, the insertion holes 36 through which the band body 40 is inserted can be appropriately selected according to the outer diameter and the number of wire harnesses 10. For example, as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10(a), the band body 40 can be inserted into an appropriate insertion hole 36 according to the outer diameter of the first harness 11, and the first harness 11 can be fixed to the exterior body 30. Therefore, the first harness 11 can be reliably fixed to the exterior body 30 and positional deviation can be prevented.

[0101] 10(b), for example, a plurality of first harnesses 11 (referred to as first harness 11a and first harness 11b in FIG. 10(b)) can be arranged and fixed in the first arrangement portion 311 according to the outer diameter and the number of the first harnesses 11. This makes it possible to accommodate various designs of the wire harness 10 and to retrofit the wire harness 10 to the exterior body 30.

[0102] Furthermore, an exterior member 20y which is another embodiment of the exterior member 20 and a wire harness wiring structure 1y in which the exterior member 20y is arranged to exteriorly cover the wire harness 10 will be described with reference to Figs. Here, Fig. 11 shows a plan view of the exterior member 20y, and Fig. 12 shows a front view of the wire harness routing structure 1y in which the exterior member 20y is arranged to exteriorly cover the wire harness 10. In Fig. 11 and Fig. 12, the same components as those in Fig. 1 to Fig. 10 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0103] As shown in FIG. 11, the exterior member 20y is made up of an exterior body 30y corresponding to the exterior body 30, one band body 40, and a door portion 50. The exterior body 30y is composed of an exterior body main body 31y and an electric wire holding portion 32, and in addition to one band fixing portion 33, two insertion holes 36 are provided in the exterior body main body 31y.

[0104] The exterior body main body 31y is a rectangular plate-like body punched out of the sheet material 70, similar to the exterior body main body 31, and has wire holding parts 32 welded and fixed to both ends in the longitudinal direction L. Also, one band body 40 is welded and fixed to the other end side (left side Wl) in the width direction W. The band body 40 welded and fixed to the exterior body main body 31y is welded and fixed such that the longitudinal direction of the band body 40 is aligned along a direction inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction L.

[0105] Moreover, unlike the exterior member 20, the band fixing portion 33 provided on the exterior body 31y is provided at a position that is not opposed to the welded fixing portion 60. Specifically, the center point of the exterior body 31y in a plan view is set as an axis of symmetry O, and the welded fixing portion 60 is provided at a position that is point-symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry O.

[0106] The insertion holes 36 are provided at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction L at both ends in the width direction W and between the band body 40 and the band fixing portion 33. The insertion holes 36 on the band body 40 side in the longitudinal direction L are referred to as insertion holes 36c, and the insertion holes 36 on the band fixing portion 33 side in the longitudinal direction L are referred to as insertion holes 36d.

[0107] Next, a method for mounting the exterior member 20y thus configured on the wire harness 10 will be briefly described. First, similarly to the exterior member 20x, the first harness 11 is placed in the center portion in the width direction W of the first placement portion 311 in the exterior body 31y, and the first harness 11 and the electric wire holding portion 32 are fastened with the fixing tape B.

[0108] Next, the two exterior members 20 are placed in the second arrangement portion 312, and the exterior members 20 and the electric wire holding portion 32 are fastened with fixing tape B to hold the exterior members 20 in the electric wire holding portion 32. Then, the door portion 50 is pivoted around the hinge portion 52 as a pivot axis so that the exterior members 20 are sandwiched between the door main body 51 and the second arrangement portion 312 (exterior body 31), and the main body side fixing portion 34 and the door side fixing portion 53 are fixed.

[0109] Next, the band body 40 extending from the width direction W of the exterior body 31y is wound around the outside of the first harness 11, and the band body 40 is inserted into the insertion hole 36c, and the tip of the band body 40 is pulled out to the second arrangement portion 312 side.

[0110] Furthermore, the band body 40 pulled out from the insertion hole 36c is wound around the upper surface side of the door portion 50 that sandwiches the two second harnesses 12 with the exterior body 31y, and the tip of the band body 40 is inserted into the insertion hole 36d and pulled out to the first arrangement portion 311 side. Then, the band body 40 pulled out from the insertion hole 36d to the first arrangement portion 311 side is wound around the outside of the first harness 11, and the locking portion 42 provided at the tip of the band body 41 is inserted into the band fixing portion 33 and locked.

[0111] In this manner, the exterior member 20y can wrap the door portion 50, which sandwiches the second harness 12 together with the exterior body main body 31y, with the band body 40. This makes it possible to prevent the door body 51 from opening relative to the exterior body main body 31y even if the body side fixing portion 34 and the door side fixing portion 53, which fix the exterior body main body 31y and the door body 51, are unintentionally released. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the second harness 12 from falling off the exterior member 20y.

[0112] Furthermore, an exterior member 20z which is another embodiment of the exterior member 20 and a wire harness wiring structure 1z in which the exterior member 20z is arranged to exteriorly cover the wire harness 10 will be described with reference to Figs. Here, Fig. 11 shows a plan view of the exterior member 20z, and Fig. 12 shows a front view of the wire harness routing structure 1z in which the exterior member 20z is arranged to exteriorly cover the wire harness 10. In Fig. 11 and Fig. 12, the same components as those in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 5, and Fig. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0113] 11, the wire harness arrangement structure 1z is composed of an exterior body main body 31z, an electric wire holding portion 32, three band bodies 40, and a door portion 50. The exterior body main body 31z is provided with two band fixing portions 33 corresponding to the band bodies 40.

[0114] Furthermore, the exterior body 31z is provided with a folding portion 37 along the longitudinal direction L on the inside of the width direction W of the band fixing portion 33. This folding portion 37 is configured so that a part of the exterior body 31z can be folded upward (towards the second arrangement portion 312).

[0115] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the exterior member 20z configured in this manner has the wire harness 10 positioned in the central portion of the exterior body main body 31z, and one end side in the width direction W of the exterior body main body 31 can be folded by the folding portion 37.

[0116] In this state, by engaging and fixing the band body 40 to the band fixing portion 33, the exterior member 20z can be covered on the wire harness 10, and the side and bottom surfaces of the wire harness 10 can be protected by the exterior body main body 31z.

[0117] The exterior member 20z configured in this manner has a similar configuration to the exterior member 20, and exerts the same effects. Moreover, the exterior body 30z is folded in the width direction at a folding portion 37 provided in the middle of the width direction W. As a result, by folding the exterior body main body 31 at the folding portion 37, the wire harness 10 arranged in the exterior body main body 31 can be surrounded, so that the wire harness 10 can be protected more reliably.

[0118] In correspondence with the configuration of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiment, The first wire harness corresponds to the first harness 11, Similarly, The second wire harness corresponds to the second harness 12; The harness attachment members correspond to the exterior members 20, 20x, 20y, and 20z, The exterior body corresponds to exterior bodies 30, 30x, 30y, and 30z. The cross direction corresponds to the width direction W, The band body corresponds to the band body 40, The harness placement section corresponds to the second placement section 312, The holding member corresponds to the fixing tape B, The holding member attachment portion corresponds to the electric wire holding portion 32 and the door portion 50, The band fixing part corresponds to the band fixing part 33, The clamping body corresponds to the door portion 50, The hinge portion corresponds to the hinge portion 52, The clamping and fixing portion corresponds to the clamping and fixing portion 21 (the body side fixing portion 34 and the door side fixing portion 53), The resin sheet corresponds to sheet material 70. The locking portion corresponds to the locking portion 42, The engaged portion corresponds to the band fixing portion 33, The through hole corresponds to the through hole 36, The bent portion corresponds to the bent portion 37, The wire harness wiring structure corresponds to the wire harness wiring structure 1, The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

[0119] For example, in this embodiment, the sheet material 70 is made of a synthetic resin foam that is molded into a foamed or porous shape, has thermoplastic properties, and is bendable, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the sheet material 70 may be made of a synthetic resin foam that is molded into a foamed or porous shape, has thermosetting properties, and is bendable. Furthermore, the sheet material 70 may be made of a synthetic resin instead of a synthetic resin foam. It is preferable that the sheet material 70 is a synthetic resin foam sheet material made of a synthetic resin foam that is molded into a foamed or porous shape.

[0120] In addition, in this embodiment, the band fixing portion 33 is configured to engage the band body 40 (locking portion 42) with the exterior body 30, but it may also be configured to engage the band body 40 (locking portion 42) by pressing it into the exterior body 30, for example.

[0121] Furthermore, the exterior member 20 is configured such that the band body 40 and the door portion 50, which are configured as separate bodies, and the exterior body 30 are fixed together by welding to form an integrated structure. However, for example, the exterior body 30, the band body 40, and the door portion 50 may be cut out as an integrated body from a single sheet material 70 to form the exterior member 20 that is configured as an integrated structure, or the exterior body 30 and the band body 40 or the door portion 50 may be fixed together by another method such as adhesion. The band body 40 may be singular or may not be plural.

[0122] Furthermore, the directions in which the band fixing part 33 and the band body 40 are provided do not need to be opposite sides of the width direction W, and both the band fixing part 33 and the band body 40 may be provided on one side of the width direction W. Furthermore, it is not necessary to provide one band fixing part 33 for one band body 40, and multiple band fixing parts 33 may be provided.

[0123] The number of the insertion holes 36 may be appropriately designed according to the wire harness 10 to be sheathed. When a plurality of the insertion holes 36 are provided, the insertion holes 36 may be provided at least along one of the width direction W and the longitudinal direction L, or may be provided randomly.

[0124] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of locking portions 42 are provided on the band body 41, but there may be only one locking portion 42. Also, the locking portion 42 is configured to have an isosceles trapezoidal shape in a plan view, but is not limited to this shape, and may have various shapes such as an approximately isosceles triangle, approximately right-angled triangle, or approximately right-angled trapezoid in a plan view.

[0125] In addition, in this embodiment, the door portion 50 is configured integrally with the exterior body 31 via the hinge portion 52, but for example, it may be configured such that both ends of the exterior body 31 in the width direction W and the door body 51 are fixed by fitting or locking, etc. Furthermore, the door portion 50 is configured from the sheet material 70, but it may also be configured from a resin molded member such as polypropylene resin.

[0126] Furthermore, in this embodiment, cuts are made in both the exterior body main body 31 and the door body 51 to provide the body side fixing part 34 and the door side fixing part 53, but it is also possible to make a configuration in which a cut is made only in one of the exterior body main body 31 or the door body 51. Also, the fixing structure between the exterior body 30 and the door part 50 is not limited to cuts, and it is also possible to use a structure in which they can be fixed by, for example, fitting or locking.

[0127] It should be noted that the above contents can be implemented not only in each aspect, but can be appropriately changed in combination as long as the effect is achieved. [Explanation of symbols]
