[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0010] The wiring module of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0011] (1) A wiring module arranged in an arrangement space between a body panel and an interior member in a vehicle, the wiring module comprising at least one device, a transmission member extending from each of the at least one device, and a rigid member including a panel fixing portion and a plurality of device fixing portions, each of the at least one device being fixed to any one of the device fixing portions selected from the plurality of device fixing portions, and a portion of the transmission member extending from each of the at least one device being held by the rigid member and fixed to the vehicle body panel by the panel fixing portion. Since each of the at least one device is fixed to any one of the device fixing portions selected from the plurality of device fixing portions, it is easy to respond to changes in the mounting position of the device, changes in the specifications of the device, or addition of devices. In addition, the rigidity of the vehicle body panel is usually higher than the rigidity of the interior member. Since the wiring module is fixed to this vehicle body panel, even if the weight of the wiring module increases due to an increase in the number of devices, the wiring module can be properly supported in the vehicle. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the devices arranged in the arrangement space between the vehicle body panel and the interior member in the vehicle can be increased.

[0012] (2) In the wiring module of (1), a plurality of fixing holes may be formed in a surface of the rigid member as the plurality of device fixing portions, and each of the at least one device may be fixed using any combination of fixing holes selected from the plurality of fixing holes. This makes it possible to easily accommodate changes in the fixing position of the device, changes in the size of the device, etc., by changing the combination of fixing holes used to fix the device.

[0013] (3) In the wiring module of (1) or (2), the rigid member may include a wiring holding portion for holding the transmission member, and the wiring holding portion may have a wiring housing portion formed in a groove shape on the surface of the rigid member and housing the transmission member, and a protrusion for preventing the transmission member from slipping out of the wiring housing portion. This eliminates the need to provide a member for holding the transmission member separately from the rigid member. In addition, when changing equipment, the transmission member can be easily attached and detached from the wiring holding portion. In addition, the transmission members of multiple equipment can extend from the rigid member as a group through the outlet of the wiring housing portion, and the transmission members of multiple equipment can be treated as one wiring group.

[0014] (4) In the wiring module of any one of (1) to (3), the arrangement space may be a roof inner space between a roof panel as the vehicle body panel and a roof liner as the interior member, thereby making it possible to easily accommodate changes and additions to devices arranged in the roof inner space.

[0015] (5) In the wiring module according to any one of (1) to (4), a plurality of the rigid members may be provided, and the transmission members extending from the plurality of the rigid members may be bundled together. This makes it easy to handle the transmission members extending from the plurality of rigid members.

[0016] (6) A wiring module-equipped panel according to the present disclosure includes any one of the wiring modules (1) to (5) and the vehicle body panel, and the vehicle body panel is provided with a receiving portion to which the panel fixing portion of the rigid member is fixed, and a panel-side wiring holding portion that holds a portion of the transmission member that extends outwardly of the rigid member. This allows the portions of the transmission members that extend outwardly of the rigid member to be fixed to the vehicle body panel together when the wiring module is fixed to the vehicle body panel.

[0017] (7) In the wiring module-equipped panel of (6), a single vehicle body panel may be provided with a plurality of the wiring modules, the receiving portion, and the panel-side wiring holder, and at least one of the plurality of panel-side wiring holders may collectively hold the transmission members of the plurality of wiring modules. This allows the transmission members of the plurality of wiring modules to be easily held in the single vehicle body panel.

[0018] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wiring module 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.

[0019] [Embodiment 1] The wiring module according to the first embodiment will be described below.

[0020] <Vehicles in which the wiring module is installed> FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an example of 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 formed of 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 11 of the vehicle 10. The roof panel 13 may be curved in part or in whole 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 formed of a combination of metal and resin.

[0021] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the wiring module 20 according to the first embodiment and a wiring module-equipped panel 100 including the wiring module. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the wiring module 20 according to the first embodiment and a wiring module-equipped panel 100 including the wiring module. FIG. 2 shows an X direction, a Y direction, and a Z direction that are orthogonal to each other. In the present disclosure, when the wiring module 20 is arranged in the vehicle 10, the X direction is the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10, the Y direction is the width direction of the vehicle 10, and the Z direction is the vertical direction. The wiring module 20 is assembled in the vehicle 10. The wiring module 20 is arranged in an arrangement space between the vehicle body panel 13 and the interior member 16 in the vehicle 10. The wiring module 20 is fixed to the vehicle body panel 13 to form the wiring module-equipped panel 100. In the present embodiment, an example in which the wiring module 20 is assembled in the roof portion 11 including the roof panel 13 will be described. That is, in this embodiment, the arrangement space of the wiring module 20 is the space within the roof between the roof panel 13 as the vehicle body panel 13 and the roof liner 16 as the interior member 16 .

[0022] In FIG. 2, the roof portion 11 is illustrated. The transmission member 40 illustrated in FIG. 2 shows a schematic path, and may include a plurality of electric wires, etc., even if it is drawn as a single line. The roof panel 13 and the interior member 16 are illustrated as the roof portion 11. The receiving portion 14 and the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 are provided on the inner surface (downward surface) of the roof panel 13. The receiving portion 14 is a member for fixing the rigid member 50 in the wiring module 20. The panel-side wiring holding portion 15 is a member for holding a portion of the transmission member 40 in the wiring module 20 that extends outward from the rigid member 50. When the roof panel 13 is made of metal, the receiving portion 14 and the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 made of metal may be welded to the inner surface of the roof panel 13. The receiving portion 14 and the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 may be provided on a reinforcing member (also called a roof reinforcement or a roof stay, etc.) provided so as to cross the roof in the vehicle 10.

[0023] In this embodiment, the receiving portion 14 is a long and thin member extending along the width direction of the roof panel 13. The receiving portion 14 may be a bracket provided separately from a reinforcing material called a roof reinforcement or a roof stay. Both end portions 14a along the extending direction of the receiving portion 14 are fixed to the inner surface of the roof panel 13 by welding or the like. The middle portion 14b along the extending direction of the receiving portion 14 is located lower than both end portions 14a so as to be spaced apart from the roof panel 13. The receiving portion 14 is formed by bending a long and thin plate material or the like. The rigid member 50 is fixed to the middle portion 14b. For example, a through hole 14c is formed in the middle portion 14b. The rigid member 50 is fixed to the receiving portion 14 by inserting a screw S or a clip into the through hole 14c or the like. The rigid member 50 is suspended and supported by the roof panel 13 via the receiving portion 14. Here, one rigid member 50 is supported by a pair of receiving parts 14 spaced apart in the front-rear direction of the roof panel 13. One rigid member 50 may be supported by one receiving part 14. A part of a fixing member such as a nut, the head of a screw S, or the tip of a clip may be disposed between an intermediate part 14b of the receiving part 14 and the roof panel 13. A plurality of through holes 14c are provided at intervals in the extending direction of the receiving part 14. A reinforcing material called a roof reinforcement or a roof stay may be used as the receiving part 14.

[0024] The panel-side wiring holding portion 15 is provided on the path of the transmission member 40. The portion of the transmission member 40 extending from the rigid member 50 extends toward the front of the vehicle 10 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10 while passing through an edge on the outer side of the rigid member 50 along the width direction of the vehicle 10. The panel-side wiring holding portion 15 is provided at a position closer to the outer edge than the receiving portion 14 along the width direction of the vehicle 10. On the path of the transmission member 40, for example, the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 is provided at a position corresponding to the rigid member 50. The panel-side wiring holding portion 15 is provided at the same position as the rigid member 50 or slightly forward of it in the front-rear direction of the roof panel 13. This allows the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 to hold a portion of the transmission member 40 extending from the rigid member 50 that is close to the rigid member 50. In particular, the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 can hold a portion of the transmission member 40 that is close to the portion that extends laterally from the rigid member 50 and then bends in the front-rear direction.

[0025] The panel-side wiring holding part 15 has a fixing part 15a fixed to the roof panel 13 and a holding part 15b holding the transmission member 40. In this embodiment, the fixing part 15a is formed in a plate shape that spreads along the roof panel 13. The holding part 15b is formed in a plate shape that extends downward from the fixing part 15a. The holding part 15b is formed with a recess 15c that accommodates the transmission member 40. The recess 15c opens to the side. The transmission member 40 is accommodated in the recess 15c from the opening (see FIG. 6). The transmission member 40 is supported by the bottom wall of the recess 15c, and is held by the holding part 15b. A part of the transmission member 40 that extends outward from the rigid member 50 is suspended and supported by the roof panel 13 via the panel-side wiring holding part 15. The opening is smaller than the recess 15c along the height direction of the recess 15c. The opening is provided above the recess 15c along the height direction. A side wall of the recess 15c is provided below the opening. This prevents the transmission members 40 from slipping out of the recess 15c through the opening. In the recess 15c, the dimension in the width direction is greater than the dimension in the height direction. This allows the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 to hold the multiple transmission members 40 in a flat state.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of sets (three sets in the example shown in FIG. 3 ) of wiring modules 20, receiving parts 14, and panel-side wiring retaining parts 15 are provided on one vehicle body panel 13. Three pairs of receiving parts 14 are provided so as to support the rigid members 50 of the three wiring modules 20. The three wiring modules 20 are arranged separately in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10. The three pairs of receiving parts 14 are arranged separately in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10. A plurality of panel-side wiring retaining parts 15 (three in the example shown in FIG. 3 ) are provided at intervals in the front-rear direction of the roof panel 13. The transmission members 40 of the three wiring modules 20 are collectively fixed to at least one of the three panel-side wiring retaining parts 15 (here, the panel-side wiring retaining part 15 on the front side of the vehicle 10).

[0027] The interior member 16 is a plate-like member made of resin or the like. The interior member 16 is a part that forms the shape of the ceiling inside 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 inside the vehicle cabin. The interior member 16 is also called a roof liner.

[0028] The interior member 16 may be provided with a layer that exhibits at least one of a heat insulating function, a soundproofing function, and a radio wave shielding function. A functional sheet having a layer that exhibits at least one of a heat insulating function, a soundproofing function, and a radio wave shielding function may be provided separately from the interior member 16. The functional sheet may be provided between the wiring module 20 and the interior member 16. Note that, when the device 30 in the wiring module 20 needs to be exposed to the vehicle interior in order to perform its function, an insertion hole for passing the device 30 may be formed in the interior member 16 and the functional sheet at a position corresponding to the device 30.

[0029] The layer having a heat insulating function may be, for example, a layer having heat insulating properties that make it difficult for heat to be transmitted between one main surface side and the other main surface side. The layer having a heat insulating function may be a layer that reflects thermal radiation energy. The layer having a heat insulating function may be a layer having a lower thermal conductivity than other layers. For example, the layer having a heat insulating function may be a nonwoven sheet in which multiple fibers are entangled without being woven, or a sheet including fine gaps such as a foamed sheet. The layer having a heat insulating function may be a heat insulating paint or a heat insulating paint.

[0030] The layer having a soundproofing function may be, for example, a layer having soundproofing properties that make it difficult for sound to be transmitted between one main surface side and the other main surface side. The layer having a soundproofing function may be a layer that reflects sound. The layer having a soundproofing function may be a layer that absorbs sound energy as heat energy. For example, the layer having a soundproofing function may be a nonwoven sheet in which multiple fibers are entangled without being woven, or a sheet having fine gaps such as a foamed sheet. A sound-absorbing paint may be used as the layer having a soundproofing function. One layer may have both a heat insulating function and a soundproofing function, or a layer having a heat insulating function and a layer having a soundproofing function may be provided as physically separate layers.

[0031] The layer having a radio wave shielding function is, for example, a layer that makes it difficult for radio waves to be transmitted between one main surface side and the other main surface side. The layer having a radio wave shielding function may have radio wave shielding properties for all frequencies. The layer having a radio wave shielding function may have selective radio wave shielding properties for some frequency bands. In this case, radio waves in some frequency bands may be at least one of reflected and absorbed in the layer having a radio wave shielding function. The layer having a radio wave shielding function may be a layer formed of a metal foil such as aluminum or iron. As a layer having a radio wave shielding function having selective radio wave shielding properties, a well-known frequency selective film (FSS: Frequency Selective Surface) may be used. The frequency selective film may be, for example, 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.

[0032] <About the wiring module> The wiring module 20 will be described in more detail. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the wiring module 20 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 5 is a plan view showing the wiring module 20 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VV in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in Fig. 5. Fig. 8 is an exploded plan view showing the wiring module 20 according to the first embodiment.

[0033] The wiring module 20 includes equipment 30, a transmission member 40, and a rigid member 50. The transmission member 40 extends from each equipment 30. The equipment 30 and the transmission member 40 are fixed to the rigid member 50. The rigid member 50 is fixed to the roof panel 13. The equipment 30 and the transmission member 40 are fixed to the roof panel 13 via the rigid member 50. It is preferable that the rigid member 50 has a rigidity that allows it to maintain a predetermined shape while being fixed to the roof panel 13 while supporting the equipment 30 and the transmission member 40.

[0034] The device 30 is disposed on the roof portion 11 and is a device to which the transmission member 40 is connected. The device 30 transmits or receives an electric signal or an optical signal via the transmission member 40. Alternatively, the device 30 receives or distributes power via the transmission member 40. Examples of the device 30 include an electronic control unit, a lamp (particularly a map lamp or an interior lamp), a speaker, an interior camera, a monitor, a projection device, an external communication antenna, an interior antenna, and the like. The specifications, type, number, and the like of the device 30 may vary depending on the vehicle model, grade, options, and the like.

[0035] The rigid member 50 can flexibly accommodate design changes such as the specifications, type, and number of the devices 30. At least one device 30 is provided on one rigid member 50. Here, a plurality of devices 30 (three in the example shown in FIG. 3) are provided on one rigid member 50. The device 30 may be disposed at any position on the rigid member 50. In addition, when the wiring module 20 is incorporated in the roof portion 11, the device 30 may be disposed at any position on the roof portion 11. Preferably, the device 30 is fixed to a position suitable for the role that the device 30 plays with respect to the roof portion 11. For example, assuming that the device 30 is a map lamp, the device 30 may be fixed to a portion that will be disposed at a position diagonally above and in front of the front seat. In addition, assuming that the device 30 is an external communication antenna, the device 30 may be fixed to a portion that will be disposed at a position corresponding to an antenna hole formed in the roof panel 13.

[0036] The transmission member 40 is a member that transmits electricity or light, etc., and is a member that is provided along a wiring path in which at least one end is connected to the device 30. 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, etc. 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 40 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 40 may be formed by applying a conductive paint to a sheet-like member, etching a copper foil, etc. Here, a description will be given assuming that the transmission member 40 is a general electric wire.

[0037] One end of the transmission member 40 may be connected to the device 30 via a connector. The transmission member 40 may be directly introduced into the device 30 and directly connected to an electrical element in the device 30. The other end of the transmission member 40 extends toward a device other than the device 30 (e.g., an electronic control unit or a power source, etc.). A portion of the transmission member 40 extending from the device 30 is held by the rigid member 50. A portion of the transmission member 40 extending from the rigid member 50 is held by the roof panel 13. A portion of the transmission member 40 on the other end side than the portion held by the roof panel 13 may be drawn out to a pillar or the like and connected to a device below the roof portion 11 in the vehicle 10.

[0038] The rigid member 50 includes a plurality of device fixing portions 52 and a panel fixing portion 60. Each device 30 is fixed to any one of the device fixing portions 52 selected from the plurality of device fixing portions 52. The wiring module 20 is fixed to the vehicle body panel 13 by the panel fixing portion 60. Here, the rigid member 50 further includes a wiring holding portion 54. A portion of the transmission member 40 extending from each device 30 is held by the wiring holding portion 54. Here, the rigid member 50 is formed in a long and narrow rectangular plate shape. The rigid member 50 is disposed on the vehicle 10 such that the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 50 is aligned with the width direction of the vehicle 10. The rigid member 50 may be disposed on the vehicle 10 such that the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 50 is aligned with the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10.

[0039] A plurality of fixing holes 53 are formed on the surface of the rigid member 50 as a plurality of device fixing portions 52. Each device 30 is fixed using any set of fixing holes 53 selected from the plurality of fixing holes 53. When the device 30 is fixed to the rigid member 50, there are fixing holes 53 that are not used to fix the device 30 (fixing holes 53 that were not selected when fixing the device 30). Here, the device 30 and the rigid member 50 are screwed together using the fixing holes 53. The device 30 and the rigid member 50 may be fixed together by inserting a clip into the fixing holes 53, for example.

[0040] There are three regions in which a plurality of fixing holes 53 are regularly formed. In each region, the plurality of fixing holes 53 are arranged in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction. The first direction and the second direction are arbitrary. Here, the first direction is the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 50, and the second direction is a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The intervals between the fixing holes 53 in the first direction and the intervals between the fixing holes 53 in the second direction are arbitrary. Here, the intervals between the fixing holes 53 in the first direction are equal. The intervals between the fixing holes 53 in the second direction are equal. The intervals between the fixing holes 53 in the first direction and the intervals between the fixing holes 53 in the second direction are equal. The three regions are arranged along the first direction. The intervals between the regions in the first direction are greater than the intervals between the fixing holes 53 in the first direction.

[0041] The equipment 30 is fixed to each of the three regions. Therefore, for one rigid member 50, the three equipment 30 are arranged separately along the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 50. There may be equipment arranged across multiple regions. The fixing holes 53 in multiple regions may be used to fix one equipment. When the rigid member 50 is arranged on the vehicle 10 so that the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 50 is along the width direction of the vehicle 10, the multiple equipment 30 provided on one rigid member 50 are arranged separately in the width direction of the vehicle 10.

[0042] FIG. 7 shows an example in which the device 30 is fixed to the device fixing part 52 using a screw S and a nut. The housing 31 of the device 30 is provided with a fixing piece 32. The fixing piece 32 has a fixing hole 33 formed therein. The device 30 and the device fixing part 52 are fixed by fastening a nut to the tip of the screw S in a state in which the screw S penetrates the fixing holes 33 and 53. If a female thread is formed in either of the fixing holes 33 and 53, the nut may be omitted. The fixing manner of the device 30 and the device fixing part 52 may be a fixing manner other than screw fastening using the screw S and the nut. For example, a clip may be provided on the fixing piece 32 so as to protrude downward, and the clip may be configured to be engaged in a fixing hole 53 formed in the device fixing part 52 in a non-removable state. Also, for example, a convex portion provided on the device fixing part 52 may be engaged in the fixing hole 33 formed in the fixing piece 32. Alternatively, the device 30 may be fixed to the device fixing part 52 by riveting or the like.

[0043] A plurality of (four in this example) fixing pieces 32 are provided on one device 30. The four fixing pieces 32 are aligned in a first direction and a second direction. A fixing hole 33 is formed in each fixing piece 32. The interval between the fixing holes 33 in the first direction may be an integer multiple (including equal multiple) of the interval between the fixing holes 53 of the device fixing portion 52 in the first direction. Similarly, the interval between the fixing holes 33 in the second direction may be an integer multiple (including equal multiple) of the interval between the fixing holes 53 of the device fixing portion 52 in the second direction.

[0044] The interval between the fixing holes 33 in the first direction does not have to be an integer multiple (including equal multiple) of the interval between the fixing holes 53 of the equipment fixing part 52 in the first direction. Similarly, the interval between the fixing holes 33 in the second direction does not have to be an integer multiple (including equal multiple) of the interval between the fixing holes 53 of the equipment fixing part 52 in the second direction. When the interval between the fixing holes 33 is different from the interval between the fixing holes 53, the equipment 30 may be fixed to the equipment fixing part 52 via a distance adjustment member 34, as shown in Figures 7 and 8.

[0045] The interval adjusting member 34 is formed in a long and narrow plate shape. Four fixing holes 35a, 35b are formed in the interval adjusting member 34. The interval between two of the fixing holes 35a among the four fixing holes 35a, 35b is equal to the interval between the fixing holes 33. The equipment 30 is fixed to the interval adjusting member 34 using the two fixing holes 35a. The interval between two of the fixing holes 35b among the four fixing holes 35a, 35b is an integer multiple (including equal) of the interval between the fixing holes 53. The interval adjusting member 34 is fixed to the equipment fixing part 52 using the two fixing holes 35b. One equipment 30 is fixed to the equipment fixing part 52 via a pair of interval adjusting members 34. Note that one interval adjusting member may be provided for one fixing piece 32. Also, one interval adjusting member may be provided for four fixing pieces 32.

[0046] 8, the interval between fixing holes 33 is different from the interval between fixing holes 53 in only one of the first direction and the second direction. The interval between fixing holes 33 may be different from the interval between fixing holes 53 in both the first direction and the second direction. In this case, fixing holes 35a, 35b may be formed to be misaligned so that the interval between fixing hole 35b formed in one of a pair of distance adjustment members 34 and fixing hole 35b formed in the other is an integer multiple (including equal multiple) of the interval between fixing holes 53.

[0047] As the panel fixing portion 60, a through hole 61 is formed penetrating the rigid member 50 in the thickness direction. The through hole 61 is formed at a position corresponding to the through hole 14c of the receiving portion 14. FIGS. 6 and 7 show an example in which the panel fixing portion 60 is fixed to the receiving portion 14 using a screw S and a nut. That is, the receiving portion 14 and the panel fixing portion 60 are fixed by fastening a nut to the tip of the screw S in a state in which the screw S penetrates the through holes 14c and 61. Here, the through hole 61 is provided at a position closer to the side edge portion of the rigid member 50 than the device fixing portion 52. At both side edges of the rigid member 50, a plurality of (here, four) through holes 61 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 50. Two of the four through holes 61 are provided between the three regions. The remaining two of the four through holes 61 are provided outside the three regions.

[0048] The rigid member 50 is disposed at a position corresponding to the receiving portion 14. The receiving portion 14 and the rigid member 50 may be disposed in any desired area relative to the roof panel 13. The receiving portion 14 and the panel fixing portion 60 may be fixed in a manner other than fastening with the screw S and nut. For example, a clip may be provided on the roof panel 13 so as to protrude downward, and the clip may be engaged in a hole formed in the rigid member 50 in a non-removable state. Also, for example, a clip provided on the rigid member 50 may be engaged in a hole formed in the receiving portion 14. Alternatively, the rigid member 50 may be fixed to the receiving portion 14 by riveting or the like.

[0049] The wiring holding portion 54 has a wiring accommodating portion 55 and protrusions 58, 59. The wiring accommodating portion 55 is formed in a groove shape on the surface of the rigid member 50. The wiring accommodating portion 55 accommodates the transmission member 40. The protrusions 58, 59 prevent the transmission member 40 from coming out of the upper opening of the wiring accommodating portion 55.

[0050] The wiring housing 55 has a first housing 56 and a second housing 57. The first housing 56 is provided between the fixing hole 53 and the through hole 61 along the width direction of the rigid member 50. The first housing 56 extends along the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 50. One end of the first housing 56 reaches the outer edge of the rigid member 50. Therefore, the first housing 56 opens at the outer edge of the rigid member 50. The transmission member 40 extends outward from the opening. The second housing 57 extends in a direction intersecting with the first housing 56. One end of the second housing 57 communicates with the first housing 56. The second housing 57 extends from the first housing 56 toward the device fixing portion 52. A plurality of second housings 57 (three in this example) are provided at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the first housing 56. The first accommodating section 56 accommodates the transmission members 40 of multiple devices 30, and the second accommodating section 57 accommodates the transmission members 40 of some of the devices 30. For this reason, each second accommodating section 57 is smaller than the first accommodating section 56. In particular, the width dimension of each second accommodating section 57 is smaller than the width dimension of the first accommodating section 56. An inclined surface is provided at the other end of the second accommodating section 57. This allows the transmission member 40 to extend gently from the second accommodating section 57 toward the device 30 via the inclined surface.

[0051] The protrusion 58 is provided in the first accommodating portion 56, and the protrusion 59 is provided in the second accommodating portion 57. The protrusion 58 provided in the first accommodating portion 56 and the protrusion 59 provided in the second accommodating portion 57 have different shapes.

[0052] The protrusion 58 protrudes from the edge of the opening of the first housing portion 56 so as to cover the opening of the first housing portion 56. The protrusion 58 narrows the opening of the first housing portion 56 while covering the upper side of the transmission member 40, thereby suppressing the transmission member 40 from slipping out of the first housing portion 56. The protrusion 58 is also provided so as to open a gap through which the transmission member 40 can pass. The transmission member 40 can be accommodated in the first housing portion 56 through this gap. The size of the gap may be set to be the same as or slightly smaller than the thickness of the transmission member 40. This suppresses the transmission member 40 accommodated in the first housing portion 56 from slipping out through the gap. The protrusion 58 may be provided so as to be elastically deformable so as to increase the gap.

[0053] Here, the protrusions 58 are provided at a plurality of locations spaced apart along the longitudinal direction of the first housing portion 56. A pair of protrusions 58 is provided at each location. The pair of protrusions 58 protrude toward each other from both sides of the first housing portion 56. The above-mentioned gap is generated between the tips of the pair of protrusions 58. The pair of protrusions 58 may be provided to be elastically deformable so that the gap becomes larger.

[0054] The protrusion 59 protrudes from the inner surface of the side wall of the second accommodating portion 57 so as to narrow the accommodating space of the second accommodating portion 57. The protrusion 59 comes into contact with the transmission member 40. The transmission member 40 is press-fitted into the second accommodating portion 57 at the position where the protrusion 59 is provided. The protrusion 59 is provided at one location along the longitudinal direction of each second accommodating portion 57. A pair of protrusions 59 are provided. The pair of protrusions 59 protrude from both sides of the second accommodating portion 57 so as to approach each other. The transmission member 40 is press-fitted between the tips of the pair of protrusions 59.

[0055] The transmission member 40 is press-fitted into the second accommodating portion 57, but not into the first accommodating portion 56. Therefore, the portion of the transmission member 40 accommodated in the first accommodating portion 56 can move relatively more freely than the portion accommodated in the second accommodating portion 57.

[0056] Here, all of the devices 30 are disposed on the upper surface of the rigid member 50. All of the devices 30 may be disposed on the lower surface of the rigid member 50. The devices 30 may be disposed separately on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the rigid member 50. The devices 30 may be selectively provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the rigid member 50 depending on the role they play. For example, if the device 30 is an external communication antenna, it may be provided on the upper surface of the rigid member 50 and housed in an antenna hole formed in the roof panel 13. Also, for example, if the device 30 is a lamp, it may be provided on the lower surface of the rigid member 50 and exposed to the inside of the vehicle cabin through a hole formed in the interior member 16.

[0057] The transmission members 40 of the multiple devices 30 extend collectively from the rigid member 50 through the opening of the first housing portion 56. This allows the transmission members 40 of the multiple devices 30 to be treated as one wiring group, regardless of the number of devices 30.

[0058] The rigid member 50 may have higher rigidity than the interior member 16. The rigidity level here may be evaluated, for example, by using a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 50 as a reference plane, and by the bending rigidity of the rigid member 50 at the reference plane and the bending rigidity of a partial region of the interior member 16 facing the rigid member 50 at the reference plane. For example, the interior member 16 is a laminate in which a skin layer serving as a design surface is provided on urethane foam or the like, and the rigid member 50 may be a plate or rod made of a solid resin (for example, PP (polypropylene), PA (polyamide), etc.) with a filled interior. The rigid member 50 may be a member that is strong and lightweight, such as a honeycomb structure member. The rigid member 50 may be formed of a metal such as iron or aluminum. The length dimension of the rigid member 50 is arbitrary, but is set to be shorter than the width dimension of the vehicle 10, for example.

[0059] <Effects, etc.> According to the wiring module 20 configured as above and the wiring module-equipped panel 100 including the wiring module, each device 30 is fixed to any one of the device fixing parts 52 selected from the plurality of device fixing parts 52, so that it is easy to change the mounting position of the device 30, change the specifications of the device 30, or add more devices 30. In addition, the rigidity of the vehicle body panel 13 is usually higher than the rigidity of the interior member 16. Since the wiring module 20 is fixed to the vehicle body panel 13, even if the weight of the wiring module 20 increases due to an increase in the number of devices 30, the wiring module 20 can be appropriately supported in the vehicle 10. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the device 30 to be arranged in the arrangement space between the vehicle body panel 13 and the interior member 16 in the vehicle 10 can be increased.

[0060] Furthermore, a plurality of fixing holes 53 are formed on the surface of the rigid member 50 as a plurality of device fixing portions 52, and each device 30 is fixed using any pair of fixing holes 53 selected from the plurality of fixing holes 53. This makes it possible to easily accommodate changes in the fixing position of the device 30, changes in the size of the device 30, and the like, by changing the pair of fixing holes 53 used to fix the device 30.

[0061] The rigid member 50 also includes a wiring holding portion 54 for holding the transmission member 40, and the wiring holding portion 54 has a wiring housing portion 55 formed in a groove shape on the surface of the rigid member 50 and housing the transmission member 40, and protrusions 58 and 59 that cover the opening of the wiring housing portion 55 to suppress the transmission member 40 from coming off. This eliminates the need to provide a member for holding the transmission member 40 separately from the rigid member 50. Furthermore, when the device 30 is changed, the transmission member 40 can be easily attached and detached to and from the wiring holding portion 54. Furthermore, the transmission members 40 of the multiple devices 30 can extend as a group from the rigid member 50 through the outlet of the wiring housing portion 55, and the transmission members 40 of the multiple devices 30 can be treated as one wiring group.

[0062] The arrangement space is the space within the roof between the roof panel 13 as the vehicle body panel 13 and the roof liner 16 as the interior member 16. This makes it easy to change or add to the equipment 30 arranged in the space within the roof.

[0063] The vehicle body panel 13 is provided with a receiving portion 14 to which the panel fixing portion 60 of the rigid member 50 is fixed, and a panel-side wiring holding portion 15 that holds a portion of the transmission member 40 that extends outwardly of the rigid member 50. As a result, when the wiring module 20 is fixed to the vehicle body panel 13, the portion of the transmission member 40 that extends outwardly of the rigid member 50 can also be held by the vehicle body panel 13.

[0064] Furthermore, a plurality of wiring modules 20, receiving portions 14, and panel-side wiring holding portions 15 are provided on one vehicle body panel 13, and at least one of the plurality of panel-side wiring holding portions 15 collectively holds the transmission members 40 of the plurality of wiring modules 20. This allows the transmission members 40 of the plurality of wiring modules 20 to be easily held on one vehicle body panel 13.

[0065] For example, the transmission members 40 of the multiple wiring modules 20 are not bundled together before being held by the panel-side wiring holding portion 15. Therefore, the multiple wiring modules 20 can be stored, transported, etc. separately before being fixed to the vehicle body panel 13. This makes it possible to reduce the storage space and transport space for the wiring modules 20. Also, the multiple wiring modules 20 can be assembled separately to the panel.

[0066] [Embodiment 2] A wiring module according to a second embodiment will be described. Fig. 9 is a plan view showing a wiring module 120 according to the second embodiment. Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in Fig. 9. In the description of this embodiment, the same components as those described so far are given the same reference numerals and their description will be omitted. The same applies to the descriptions of the following embodiments and modified examples.

[0067] The wiring module 120 differs from the above-described wiring module 20 in that a flow path 62 is provided in the rigid member 150. Cooling air flows into the flow path 62 from the duct 17. This allows the device 30 fixed to the rigid member 150 to be cooled.

[0068] The duct 17 shown in Fig. 9 is a duct 17 for a rear seat. The duct 17 has duct side flow paths 18A, 18B, and 18C. The duct side flow paths 18A and 18B extend in the X direction on both sides of the vehicle 10. The duct side flow path 18C extends in the Y direction at the rear of the vehicle 10 and connects the duct side flow paths 18A and 18B. The duct 17 is provided with an air outlet 19A facing the rear seat. The air outlet 19 A is, for example, are provided in duct side flow paths 18A, 18B. In the vehicle 10, the main body of the air conditioning equipment, such as an air conditioning unit, is usually not disposed in the space within the roof, but is disposed below the space within the roof (for example, inside the instrument panel or behind the rear seats). The duct 17 for the rear seats is connected to the main body of the air conditioning equipment disposed behind the rear seats, for example, via a duct passing through the C-pillar. Cool air from the main body of the air conditioning equipment is discharged through the air outlet 19. A The air is then released through the air toward the rear seats.

[0069] The flow path 62 of the rigid member 150 is formed inside the hollow rigid member 150. The flow path 62 is formed by the internal space of the rigid member 150 and the inner surface surrounding the space. The flow path 62 extends in the longitudinal direction of the rigid member 150.

[0070] The flow path 62 is connected to the duct side flow path of the duct 17 in the vehicle 10. Here, the flow path 62 is connected to only one of the duct side flow paths 18A of the duct side flow paths 18A, 18B on both sides of the vehicle 10. The flow path 62 opens in three directions. The three openings are an intake port 63, an exposure hole 65, and an exhaust port 64. The flow path 62 does not communicate with the fixing holes 35. For example, the flow path 62 may be provided between the fixing holes 35 along the width direction of the rigid member 150. The device 30 may be arranged to straddle the flow path 62.

[0071] The intake port 63 opens on a surface of the outer surface of the rigid member 150 facing the Y direction (a surface facing the duct side flow path 18A). The intake port 63 is connected to the duct side flow path 18A. This allows cooling air to flow from the duct side flow path 18A through the intake port 63 into the flow path 62. Here, the flow path 62 and the duct side flow path 18A are connected via a tubular member 80. In addition to the air outlet 19A facing the rear seat, the duct side flow path 18A is provided with an air outlet 19B facing the rigid member 50. The air outlet 19B opens on the surface facing the rigid member 50. The intake port 63 and the air outlet 19B are provided at corresponding positions on the XZ plane. The intake port 63 and the air outlet 19B are connected via the tubular member 80. The intake port 63 is an opening smaller than the flow path 62. For this reason, the peripheral portion of the intake port 63 is a flat plate portion that extends along the XZ plane.

[0072] The exposure hole 65 opens on the upper surface of the rigid member 150. The exposure hole 65 opens on a portion of the upper surface facing the device 30. For example, the exposure hole 65 has a rectangular shape that is longer in the Y direction than in the X direction when viewed from the Z direction. However, the size and shape of the exposure hole 65 are not particularly limited and can be set appropriately.

[0073] The exhaust port 64 is an opening separate from the intake port 63 and the exposure hole 65. The device 30 is provided between the intake port 63 and the exhaust port 64 along the extension direction of the flow path 62. The exhaust port 64 is a surface of the outer surface of the rigid member 150 facing the Y direction, Air Intake 63 The exhaust port 64 is an opening of the same size as the flow path 62. The exhaust port 64 is opened on the opposite side to the side on which the flow path 62 opens (the side facing the duct side flow path 18B).

[0074] The device 30 is provided with a heat dissipation section 36. The heat dissipation section 36 faces the exposure hole 65. This allows the heat dissipation section 36 to be in direct contact with the cooling air. Here, the heat dissipation section 36 protrudes toward the exposure hole 65 side from a portion of the housing 31 that contacts the rigid member 150. However, the outer surface of the heat dissipation section 36 may be flush with the portion of the housing 31 that contacts the rigid member 150. Here, the heat dissipation section 36 protrudes to the flow path 62. However, the heat dissipation section 36 may remain within the exposure hole 65 and not protrude to the flow path 62. Here, a heat transfer member 37 and a heat sink 38 are provided as the heat dissipation section 36.

[0075] The heat transfer member 37 is attached to the bottom surface of the housing 31. The heat transfer member 37 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a member that can be in close contact with the housing 31 as closely as possible. Such heat transfer member 37 may be, for example, heat dissipating grease, a heat dissipating sheet, heat dissipating rubber, or the like.

[0076] The heat sink 38 is attached to the lower surface of the heat transfer member 37. The heat sink 38 includes a base and a plurality of fins. The base and the plurality of fins are formed in a flat plate shape. The base extends parallel to the XY plane. The base connects the plurality of fins on the side of the device 30 along the Z direction. The plurality of fins are located in the flow path 62. The plurality of fins protrude in the Z direction parallel to one another from one surface of the base. Each fin extends parallel to the YZ plane. The plurality of fins are spaced apart from one another along the X direction. This allows the cooling air to pass between the opposing fins, increasing the amount of heat exchanged between the heat sink 38 and the cooling air.

[0077] In FIG. 10, the flow of cooling air in the flow path 62 is indicated by an arrow A. The cooling air that has entered the flow path 62 from the intake port 63 passes through the portion in which the equipment 30 is provided on the way to the exhaust port 64. At this time, the cooling air receives heat from the equipment 30 and is warmed. The equipment 30 is cooled by transferring heat to the cooling air. The warmed cooling air is discharged from the exhaust port 64 into the space inside the roof. This prevents the warmed cooling air from remaining in the flow path 62 and the efficiency of heat exchange between the cooling air and the equipment 30 from deteriorating. In other words, when the main body of the air conditioning equipment is operating and the cooling air is sent to the flow path 62, the equipment 30 can always exchange heat with new cooling air.

[0078] In particular, here, the heat sink 38 serving as the heat dissipation section 36 is disposed within the flow path 62. This allows the cooling air flowing through the flow path 62 to exchange heat with the heat sink 38, and a larger amount of heat can be transferred from the device 30 side to the cooling air.

[0079] The tubular member 80 is interposed between the rigid member 150 and the duct 17. The tubular member 80 connects the rigid member 150 and the duct 17 for the rear seat. The tubular member 80 is a rigid member. 1 50, one end of the tubular member 80 is connected to the rigid member 150 and the duct 17. Here, one end of the tubular member 80 is connected to the intake port 63, and the other end of the tubular member 80 is connected to the outlet port 19B. The tubular member 80 includes a bellows-shaped tubular main body and a flange that is wider than the tubular main body. The bellows-shaped tubular main body can absorb misalignment of the intake port 63 and the outlet port 19B. The flanges are provided at both ends of the tubular main body. The flanges maintain both ends of the tubular member 80 connected to the rigid member 150 and the duct 17. More specifically, one end of the tubular member 80 enters the flow path 62 from the intake port 63, and the flange is hooked onto the periphery of the intake port 63. The other end of the tubular member 80 enters the duct side flow passage 18 from the air outlet 19B, and the flange portion is hooked onto the peripheral edge portion of the air outlet 19B.

[0080] FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a first modified example of the wiring module 120 according to the second embodiment.

[0081] In the wiring module 120A of this example, the flow of cooling air indicated by the arrow B in FIG. 11 is different from the flow of cooling air in the wiring module 120. The housing 131A of the device 130A is formed with a housing side intake port 31a. The housing side intake port 31a is formed on a surface of the housing 131A facing the exposure hole 65A of the rigid member 150A. The cooling air flowing through the flow path 62A passes through the exposure hole 65A, the housing side intake port 31a, and the inside of the housing 131A, and is released into the space within the roof. This allows the inside of the housing 131A to be directly cooled by the cooling air.

[0082] In the example shown in FIG. 11, the housing 131A has a first through hole 31a and a second through hole 31b. The first through hole 31a is formed on a surface of the housing 131A facing the exposure hole 65A. The second through hole 31b is formed on a surface of the housing 131A different from the surface on which the first through hole 31a is formed. Inside the housing 131A, a space in which the opening of the first through hole 31a is located is connected to a space in which the opening of the second through hole 31b is located. The first through hole 31a functions as the housing-side intake port 31a. The second through hole 31b functions as the housing-side exhaust port 31b. Note that the second through hole 31b does not need to be formed as the housing-side exhaust port 31b in the housing 131A. For example, when the housing is composed of only a container without a lid, the opening of the container functions as the housing-side exhaust port. Also, for example, when there is a gap connecting the external space and the internal space in the housing, the gap may function as the housing-side exhaust port. Such a gap may be, for example, a gap between a container and a lid, or a gap for exposing a connector to be connected to the transmission member 40, or the like.

[0083] In the rigid member 150A, the exhaust port 64 is omitted. The flow path 62A does not open to any part other than the intake port 63 and the exposure hole 65A. In other words, the flow path 62A is closed to any part other than the intake port 63 and the exposure hole 65A. As a result, the cooling air flowing through the flow path 62A is basically discharged to the space inside the roof through the exposure hole 65A. Therefore, in this example, the exposure hole 65A functions as an exhaust port. The flow path 62A is shorter in the Y direction than the above flow path 62. The flow path 62A is closed at a position slightly beyond the exposure hole 65A along the Y direction.

[0084] In this example, the heat transfer member 37 and the heat sink 38 are not provided as the heat dissipation section 36. In this example as well, either one or both of the heat transfer member 37 and the heat sink 38 may be provided.

[0085] FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a second modified example of the wiring module 120 according to the second embodiment.

[0086] In the wiring module 120B of this example, the flow of cooling air indicated by the arrow C in Fig. 12 is different from the flow of cooling air in the above-mentioned wiring module 120. In this example, a gap is provided between the peripheral portion of the exposure hole 65B on the upper surface of the rigid member 150B and the equipment 30. The cooling air flowing through the flow path 62B passes through the exposure hole 65B and the gap and is released into the space within the roof. This allows the equipment 30 to be directly cooled by the cooling air.

[0087] Here, a recess 66 is formed in a portion of the upper surface of the rigid member 150B next to the exposure hole 65B. The upper surface of the rigid member 150B at the position of the recess 66 is lower than the upper surface of the rigid member 150B at a position around the recess 66. The edge of the recess 66 along the Y direction is located outside the equipment 30. As a result, a gap is generated between the outer surface of the recess 66 and the outer surface of the equipment 30, through which cooling air is released from the exposure hole 65 into the space inside the roof.

[0088] In this example, a heat transfer member 37 is provided as the heat dissipation portion 36. The heat transfer member 37 reduces the gap between the device 30 and the peripheral portion of the exposure hole 65B.

[0089] In this example, two devices 30 are provided. The two devices 30 are provided on one rigid member 150B, spaced apart in the Y direction. Two exposure holes 65B for the two devices 30 are provided on the upper surface of the rigid member 150B.

[0090] A partition 67 is provided inside the rigid member 150B. The partition 67 separates the flow path 62B into a first flow path for one device 30 and a second flow path for the other device 30. This allows the cooling air to flow through separate flow paths when flowing toward the two devices 30. This makes it possible to prevent the amount of cooling air heading toward one device 30 from being too small compared to the cooling air heading toward the other device 30, or to prevent the cooling air warmed by heat exchange with one device 30 from heading toward the other device 30.

[0091] The partition 67 is connected to the inner surface of the flow path 62B on both sides along the X direction. The first end of the partition 67 along the Y direction is located between the exposure hole 65B for one device 30 and the intake port 63. The first end of the partition 67 along the Y direction is not connected to the inner surface of the flow path 62B along the Y direction. The second end of the partition 67 along the Y direction is located between the exposure hole 65B for one device 30 and the exposure hole 65B for the other device 30. The second end of the partition 67 along the Y direction is bent in the Z direction. The second end of the partition 67 is connected to the inner surface located on the upper surface side along the Z direction. The flow path for one device 30 is closed except for the opening on the first end side and the exposure hole 65B for one device 30. The flow path for the other device 30 is closed except for the opening on the first end side and the exposure hole 65B for the other device 30.

[0092] In this example, the exhaust port 64 is omitted in the rigid member 150B. The flow path 62B is closed except for the intake port 63 and the exposure hole 65B. The flow path 62B does not open except for the intake port 63 and the exposure hole 65B. The exposure hole 65B also serves as an exhaust port. As a result, the cooling air flowing through the flow path 62B is basically released into the space inside the roof from the exposure hole 65B. The flow path 62B is shorter in the Y direction than the above-mentioned flow path 62. The flow path 62B is closed at a position slightly beyond the exposure hole 65B along the Y direction.

[0093] Fig. 13 is a perspective view showing a third modified example of the line module 120 according to the embodiment 2. Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing the third modified example of the line module 120 according to the embodiment 2.

[0094] In the wiring module 120C of this example, the duct 17C is not a duct 17 for the rear seats, but a duct 17C for the front seats. The duct 17C is provided with an air outlet 19C facing the front seats. The tubular member 80C connects the rigid member 150C and the duct 17C for the front seats. This allows the rigid member 150C and the duct 17C for the front seats to be connected via the tubular member 80C.

[0095] The duct 17C for the front seats may be disposed in the space within the roof, similar to the above-mentioned duct 17 for the rear seats. The duct 17C for the front seats does not have to be disposed in the space within the roof. For example, the duct 17C for the front seats may be disposed in the space behind the instrument panel.

[0096] The tubular member 80C is formed longer than the tubular member 80. The duct 17C is disposed away from the rigid member 150C in the X direction in the intra-roof space. Alternatively, the duct 17C is not disposed in the intra-roof space but is disposed below the intra-roof space. Therefore, the tubular member 80C extends in the X direction from a connection portion with the rigid member 150C. When the duct 17C is not disposed in the intra-roof space but is disposed below the intra-roof space, the tubular member 80C may extend downward from the intra-roof space along the A-pillar and be connected to the duct 17C.

[0097] The end of the tubular member 80C is provided with a flange, similar to the tubular member 80, to prevent the tubular member 80C from slipping out of the flow path 62C. The tubular main body of the tubular member 80C is straight, but may be bellows-shaped, similar to the tubular main body of the tubular member 80.

[0098] In the rigid member 150C of this example, a gap is provided between the peripheral portion of the exposure hole 65C and the equipment 30, similar to the rigid member 150B. The gap is generated by the recess 66. In addition, the exhaust port 64 is omitted in the rigid member 150C. The flow path 62C is closed except for the intake port 63 and the exposure hole 65C. The rigid member 150C of this example supports one equipment 30. Therefore, as shown by the arrow D in FIG. 14, the cooling air flowing through the flow path 62C is discharged into the space inside the roof through the exposure hole 65C and the gap. This allows the equipment 30 to be directly cooled by the cooling air.

[0099] In this example, a plurality of rigid members 150C are provided. Each of the plurality of rigid members 150C supports a device 30. The plurality of rigid members 150C are provided at intervals in the X direction. One tubular member 80C branches on the way from the duct 17C side toward the plurality of rigid members 150C and is connected to each of the plurality of rigid members 150C. Therefore, a branching portion is provided in the tubular member 80C. This allows the plurality of rigid members 150C and the duct 17C to be connected via the one tubular member 80C. However, the plurality of rigid members 150C may be connected to the duct 17C via different tubular members.

[0100] [Modification of rigid member] FIG. 15 is a plan view showing a rigid member 250 according to a modified example.

[0101] Although it has been described so far that a plurality of wiring modules 20 are provided on one vehicle body panel 13, this is not a required configuration. One wiring module 20 may be provided on one vehicle body panel 13. One rigid member 50 of one wiring module 20 may be formed to a size capable of covering most of the vehicle body panel 13. The rigid member 50 may be configured, for example, such that one molded member can cover most of the vehicle body panel 13. Also, for example, as in the rigid member 250 shown in FIG. 15, a single rigid member 250 may be configured by combining a plurality of divided members 70 each covering a part of the vehicle body panel 13. The connection structure of the plurality of divided members 70 will be described with reference to FIG. 16 to FIG. 18. FIG. 16 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing the connection structure of the plurality of divided members 70. FIG. 17 is a partially exploded perspective view showing the connection structure of the plurality of divided members 70. FIG. 18 is a partially enlarged side view showing the connection structure of the plurality of divided members 70.

[0102] The divided members 70 are connected to each other so as to be displaceable relative to each other. The divided members 70 may be connected to each other so as to be movable toward and away from each other (see arrow E in FIG. 18), to be swingable in the thickness direction of the rigid member 250 (see arrow F in FIG. 18), and to be swingable in a direction intersecting the approaching and separating direction of the divided members 70 and the thickness direction of the rigid member 250 (see arrow G in FIG. 16), and a configuration for this purpose will be described in this embodiment. One of the two connected divided members 70 will be described as divided member 70A, and the other will be described as divided member 70B.

[0103] Separator 70A includes a main body 71A extending like a plate and a connecting piece 74. The connecting piece 74 is provided on an edge of main body 71A facing split member 70B. The connecting piece 74 extends from main body 71A toward split member 70B.

[0104] More specifically, main body 71A and connecting piece 74 are integrally formed from resin by a mold. Connecting piece 74 protrudes from the middle in the thickness direction of the side surface of main body 71A on the divided member 70B side.

[0105] Separate member 70B includes a main body 71B extending like a plate, a first clamping piece 72, and a second clamping piece 73. The first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73 are provided on an edge of main body 71B on the side of separate member 70A. The first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73 extend along the Y direction.

[0106] Here, the main body 71B, the first clamping piece 72, and the second clamping piece 73 are integrally formed from resin by a mold. The first clamping piece 72 protrudes from a position of the main body 71B near the bottom surface of the main body 71B toward the divided member 70A. The second clamping piece 73 protrudes from a position of the main body 71B near the top surface of the main body 71B toward one divided member 70A.

[0107] The first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73 face each other in the thickness direction of the main body 71B so as to overlap in a plan view of the divided member 70B. A gap T2 equal to or larger than the thickness dimension T1 of the connecting piece 74 is formed between the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73. The divided members 70A and 70B are connected with the connecting piece 74 disposed between the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73. Therefore, within the range in which the connecting piece 74 can move between the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73, the divided members 70A and 70B can swing in the thickness direction of the rigid member 250 while suppressing excessive sagging that would hinder assembly.

[0108] A lock piece 75 is provided on one of the divided members 70A and 70B, and a receiving recess 76 is provided on the other. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the lock piece 75 is provided on the divided member 70B, and the receiving recess 76 is provided on the divided member 70A. Conversely, the receiving recess 76 may be provided on the divided member 70B having the pair of clamping pieces 72, 73, and the lock piece 75 may be provided on the divided member 70A having the connecting piece 74.

[0109] The lock piece 75 has a shape in which a lock protrusion 75a is provided at the tip of an elongated portion. The lock protrusion 75a is formed, for example, in a shape having a portion whose protruding dimension gradually decreases toward the tip of the lock piece 75. The surface of the lock protrusion 75a facing the base end side of the lock piece 75 may be a surface perpendicular to the extension direction of the lock piece 75.

[0110] The locking piece 75 is provided between the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73. Here, a pair of locking pieces 75 is provided at both ends of the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73 in the extending direction. The locking piece 75 protrudes between the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73 on the side surface of the main body 71B facing the divided member 70A. The locking protrusion 75a protrudes between the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73 so as to face outward in the longitudinal direction thereof.

[0111] The receiving recess 76 is formed in the connecting piece 74 of the divided member 70A. More specifically, the receiving recess 76 is formed at both longitudinal ends of the connecting piece 74. Here, a rectangular bottomed hole portion 76a is formed so as to extend from the end of the connecting piece 74 on the divided member 70B side toward the main body portion 71A. The receiving recess 76 is formed at the back of this bottomed hole portion 76a. The bottomed hole portion 76a is formed with a size and depth that allows the lock piece 75 to be inserted. The receiving recess 76 is formed in a shape that is recessed (here, opens outward) with respect to the side surface at the back of the bottomed hole portion 76a. The receiving recess 76 is formed with a size that allows the lock protrusion 75a to be placed therein. The receiving recess 76 is set to a size that allows the lock protrusion 75a to move in the thickness direction and the approaching and receding directions of the divided members 70A and 70B. More specifically, in the approaching and separating direction E of the divided members 70A, 70B (the direction in which the divided members 70A, 70B are aligned), the dimension L2 of the receiving recess 76 is larger than the dimension L1 of the locking protrusion 75a. Therefore, the locking protrusion 75a can move within the receiving recess 76 in the direction E. Also, in the thickness direction of the divided members 70A, 70B, the dimension M2 of the receiving recess 76 is larger than the dimension M1 of the locking protrusion 75a. Therefore, the locking protrusion 75a can move within the receiving recess 76 also in the thickness direction of the divided members 70A, 70B.

[0112] In this embodiment, the receiving recess 76 is formed in the connecting piece 74, but this is not essential. A protruding piece may be formed separately from the connecting piece 74, and the receiving recess may be formed in the protruding piece.

[0113] Separate member 70A is provided with an auxiliary piece 77 capable of contacting the outer surface of at least one of first clamping piece 72 and second clamping piece 73. Here, auxiliary piece 77 is provided on a surface of main body 71A facing separate member 70B, at a portion opposing connecting piece 74 via first clamping piece 72. Auxiliary piece 77 is molded integrally with main body 71A from resin by a mold.

[0114] Between the connecting piece 74 and the auxiliary piece 77, a gap larger than the thickness dimension of the first clamping piece 72 is formed. Therefore, the first clamping piece 72 can move between the connecting piece 74 and the auxiliary piece 77 in the thickness direction of the divided members 70A and 70B. However, the divided member 70B is supported by the divided member 70A, and as a result, the auxiliary piece 77 contacts the outward surface (downward surface) of the first clamping piece 72 when the locking protrusion 75a contacts the lower edge in the receiving recess 76. As a result, when the divided members 70A and 70B are displaced relative to each other, the load of the divided member 70B is received not only between the locking protrusion 75a and the receiving recess 76 but also distributedly by the auxiliary piece 77. This makes it difficult for the divided members 70A and 70B to separate.

[0115] It is preferable that the length of protrusion of auxiliary piece 77 from the side surface of main body 71A be set to be smaller than the length of protrusion of connecting piece 74. This prevents auxiliary piece 77 from interfering with the relative displacement of divided members 70A, 70B.

[0116] According to this rigid member 250, the pair of locking pieces 75 are inserted into the bottomed hole portion 76a while the connecting piece 74 is disposed between the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73. Then, the locking protrusions 75a come into contact with the outer side surface of the bottomed hole portion 76a, and the locking pieces 75 are elastically deformed. When the locking protrusions 75a reach the receiving recesses 76, the locking pieces 75 return to their original shape, and the locking protrusions 75a are fitted into the receiving recesses 76.

[0117] In this state, the locking protrusion 75a can move within the receiving recess 76, and the separated members 70A, 70B can be relatively displaced in the thickness direction F of the separated members 70A, 70B and in the approaching / separating direction E of the separated members 70A, 70B within a range in which the connecting piece 74 can move between the first clamping piece 72 and the second clamping piece 73. In addition, because the locking protrusion 75a can move within the receiving recess 76 along the direction E at both ends of the connecting piece 74, it is possible for the locking protrusion 75a to be located close to the main body portion 71A at one end side of the connecting piece 74 and far from the main body portion 71A at the other end side of the connecting piece 74, or vice versa, and as a result, the separated members 70A, 70B can also be relatively swung and displaced in the fore-aft direction G of the vehicle 10.

[0118] Fig. 19 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing a modified connection structure for multiple divided members 70. Fig. 20 is a partially exploded perspective view showing a modified connection structure for multiple divided members 70. Fig. 21 is a cross-sectional view showing a modified connection structure for multiple divided members 70. In the following description, one of the two divided members 70 to be connected is divided member 70C and the other is divided member 70D.

[0119] Separator 70C includes a main body 71C that extends like a plate and a connecting piece 74C. The connecting piece 74C is attached to the edge of main body 71C on the side of split member 70D. The connecting piece 74C extends toward split member 70D.

[0120] The divided member 70D includes a main body 71D that spreads like a plate, a first clamping piece 72D, and a second clamping piece 73D. The first clamping piece 72D and the second clamping piece 73D are provided on the edge of the main body 71D on the divided member 70C side. The first clamping piece 72D and the second clamping piece 73D face each other in the thickness direction of the main body 71D so as to overlap in a plan view of the divided member 70D. A gap T2 that is equal to or larger than the thickness dimension T1 of the connecting piece 74C is formed between the first clamping piece 72D and the second clamping piece 73D. The divided members 70C and 70D are connected with the connecting piece 74C disposed between the first clamping piece 72D and the second clamping piece 73D. Therefore, within the range in which the connecting piece 74C can move between the first clamping piece 72D and the second clamping piece 73D, the divided members 70C and 70D can swing in the thickness direction of the rigid member 250A while preventing excessive sagging that would hinder assembly.

[0121] More specifically, in the divided member 70C, the main body 71C and the connecting piece 74C are formed separately. For example, the main body 71C may be formed of resin, and the connecting piece 74C may be formed of a metal plate. The connecting piece 74C may be formed of resin. The connecting piece 74C is attached to the side of the main body 71C so as to protrude outward. In this embodiment, an elongated groove portion 78g is formed along the side of the divided member 70D side of one surface (upper surface) of the main body 71C. The attachment side portion 74a of the connecting piece 74C on the side attached to the main body 71C is formed in a shape that protrudes through a step portion with respect to the center in the width direction of the connecting piece 74C. Then, the attachment side portion 74a is fixed to the bottom portion of the groove portion 78g by a screw S in a state where the attachment side portion 74a is arranged in the groove portion 78g so as to contact the bottom surface of the groove portion 78g.

[0122] The structure for attaching the connecting piece 74C to the main body 71C is not limited to the above example, and may be another rivet fixing structure, welding fixing structure, etc. Also, it is not essential that the connecting piece 74C is separate from the main body 71C, and the connecting piece 74C and the main body 71C may be molded integrally with a resin by a die.

[0123] The side of the connecting piece 74C facing the divided member 70D is formed into a lateral protrusion 74b that protrudes from the center of the width of the connecting piece 74C via a step toward one surface (lower surface) of the connecting piece 74C. The lateral protrusion 74b extends along the boundary between the divided members 70C and 70D.

[0124] First clamping piece 72D on the divided member 70D side is a long and thin portion that extends along the side of main body 71D on the divided member 70C side. Here, main body 71D and first clamping piece 72D are integrally formed from resin by a mold.

[0125] The first clamping piece 72D is formed with a groove 72g extending along the boundary between the divided members 70C and 70D. The groove 72g is a long and narrow groove extending along the boundary. The planar size of the groove 72g is set to be larger than the side protrusion 74b. For example, in the approaching and separating direction of the divided members 70C and 70D (the direction in which the divided members 70C and 70D are arranged), the width W2 of the groove 72g is larger than the width W1 of the side protrusion 74b. Also, for example, in the direction of the boundary between the divided members 70C and 70D, the length of the groove 72g is larger than the length of the side protrusion 74b. The side protrusion 74b can be accommodated in the groove 72g. With the side protrusion 74b accommodated in the groove 72g, the side protrusion 74b can move within the groove 72g by the amount of the extra size.

[0126] A pair of support protrusions 72t are formed on the outer sides of both longitudinal ends of the groove 72g, protruding from the bottom surface of the groove 72g. The groove 72g is surrounded by walls on all four sides. The protrusion length of the support protrusions 72t from the bottom surface of the groove 72g is greater than the thickness dimension T1 of the connecting piece 74C. Here, the support protrusion 72t is formed with a recess into which the end 14a of the connecting piece 74C can be fitted, and the height of the bottom surface of the recess from the bottom surface of the groove 72g corresponds to the protrusion length of the support protrusions 72t. The dimension T2 of the gap can be set by this protrusion length.

[0127] The second clamping piece 73D is formed separately from the main body 71D. The second clamping piece 73D may be, for example, a metal plate. The second clamping piece 73D is formed in a rectangular plate shape longer than the recessed groove portion 72g. With both ends of the second clamping piece 73D in contact with the support protrusions 72t, the second clamping piece 73D is attached to a fixed position relative to the first clamping piece 72D. For example, with both ends of the second clamping piece 73D overlapping a pair of support protrusions 72t, the end of the second clamping piece 73D is screwed to the support protrusions 72t by a screw S. This part may be fixed by other means such as riveting.

[0128] With the side protrusion 74b housed in the recessed groove 72g, the second clamping piece 73D is attached to the first clamping piece 72D, so that the side protrusion 74b of the connecting piece 74C is sandwiched between the first clamping piece 72D and the second clamping piece 73D. In this state, the second clamping piece 73D faces the connecting piece 74C on the opposite side to the first clamping piece 72D, and keeps the side protrusion 74b housed in the recessed groove 72g.

[0129] Since the second clamping piece 73D is in contact with the support protrusion 72t, a gap of the dimension T2 is secured between the bottom of the recessed groove 72g and the second clamping piece 73D according to the protruding length of the support protrusion 72t. Therefore, the divided members 70C and 70D can swing in their thickness direction F within the range in which the connecting piece 74C can move between the first clamping piece 72D and the second clamping piece 73D. In addition, the side protrusion 74b can move inside the wall surface surrounding the recessed groove 72g on all four sides. In particular, in the direction in which the divided members 70C and 70D are arranged, the width W2 of the recessed groove 72g is larger than the width W1 of the side protrusion 74b. The side protrusion 74b can move in the recessed groove 72g by this larger amount, and the divided members 70C and 70D can move relative to each other in the approaching / separating direction E. In addition, the lateral protrusions 74b can move separately at the longitudinal ends of the grooves 72g. For example, one end of the lateral protrusions 74b can move in the grooves 72g so as to be biased toward the main body 71D, and the other end of the lateral protrusions 74b can move in the grooves 72g so as to be biased away from the main body 71D, and vice versa. This allows the divided members 70C and 70D to move relative to each other so as to swing in the fore-aft direction G of the vehicle 10.

[0130] [Other variations] Although the above description has been given assuming that a plurality of fixing holes 53 are formed as the plurality of device fixing portions 52, this is not a required configuration. For example, a plurality of protrusions may be provided as the plurality of device fixing portions 52.

[0131] Further, although the rigid member 50 has been described so far as including the wiring holding portion 54, this is not a required configuration. In the rigid member 50, the portion where the transmission member 40 is held may be a simple plane. In this case, the transmission member 40 may be fixed to the rigid member 50 with an adhesive, an adhesive tape, or the like. Also, a clip may be provided on the transmission member 40, and the clip may be fixed to an open portion of the fixing hole. Also, even when the wiring holding portion 54 is provided, the configuration of the wiring holding portion 54 is not limited to the above. For example, the second housing portion 57 may be omitted as the wiring housing portion 55, and only the first housing portion 56 may be provided.

[0132] Although the above description assumes that the arrangement space is the space within the roof, this is not a required configuration. The arrangement space of the wiring module 20 may be a space between a door panel as the vehicle body panel 13 and a door trim as the interior member 16.

[0133] Further, although it has been described so far that the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 is provided on the vehicle body panel 13, this is not an essential configuration. The panel-side wiring holding portion 15 does not have to be provided on the vehicle body panel 13. In this case, the portion of the transmission member 40 that extends outward from the rigid member 50 may be supported on the interior member 16. Furthermore, even when the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 is provided on the vehicle body panel 13, the configuration of the panel-side wiring holding portion 15 is not limited to that described above. For example, the holding portion 15b may be a hole capable of fixing a clip or the like provided on the transmission member 40.

[0134] In the example of the first embodiment, the portions of the transmission members 40 of the multiple wiring modules 20 that extend outward from the rigid member 50 may be bundled in advance with a bundling member such as tape or a cable tie before being held by the panel-side wiring holding portion 15. In this case, it can also be considered that multiple rigid members 50 are provided in one wiring module 20. In other words, the wiring module 20 may be provided with multiple rigid members 50, and the transmission members 40 extending from the multiple rigid members 50 may be bundled in one bundle. This makes it easier to handle the transmission members 40 extending from the multiple rigid members 50.

[0135] The configurations described in the above embodiments and modifications can be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually inconsistent. [Explanation of symbols]
