[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-3902 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above-mentioned conventional technology, since the power supply structure for a sliding seat is disposed on the floor, there is a risk that the protector device constituting the power supply structure for a sliding seat may be stepped on by an occupant. As a countermeasure against this, a structure that increases the rigidity so that it can withstand being stepped on has been considered, but this has the problem of increasing in size. In addition, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, as shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, the protector device is long and large in the overall length direction of the vehicle.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has an object to provide a power supply structure and a wire harness for a sliding seat that can be prevented from being stepped on by occupants and can also be made compact. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The power supply structure for a sliding seat of the present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems, as described in claim 1, includes an electric wire for supplying power to a sliding seat that is arranged on a floor and moves in the overall length direction of a vehicle, and a protector device for causing the electric wire to follow the movement of the sliding seat in the overall length direction, the protector device being arranged on a side wall of the vehicle such that the electric wire is routed from the side wall toward a seat side of the sliding seat, the protector device further includes a protector body that houses an intermediate portion of the electric wire, and a rotor that is provided in the intermediate portion of the electric wire, and the protector body includes a guide opening that is elongated and opens along the overall length direction. and a second guide opening that is elongated along the overall length direction. The rotor is formed in a shape in which the middle of the electric wire at the rotor installation position is bent by approximately 90 degrees, and the guide opening and at least one of the second guide openings The guide opening is formed in a shape that allows the seat to slide freely in the full length direction by being guided by the guide opening, and the guide opening is formed around an axis that extends from the side wall toward the side of the seat. and at least one of the second guide openings It is characterized in that it is formed in a shape that allows it to rotate freely.

Also, according to the present invention, the protector device does not need to have a rigidity that can withstand being stepped on by an occupant, so that the protector device can be prevented from becoming large in size.

[0008] Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the protector device includes the protector body and the rotor, and since the rotor is slidable and rotatable as described above, it is possible to provide a better structure in which the electric wires are routed from the side wall of the vehicle toward the side of the sliding seat, and in which the electric wires follow the movement of the sliding seat. Details of the operation will be described later in the section on examples. In the section on examples, it can also be seen that the protector device is shorter and smaller in size in the overall length direction of the vehicle than the conventional example.

[0009] The present invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in the power supply structure for a sliding seat described in claim 1, the sliding seat is arranged in the third row counting from the front in the overall length direction of the vehicle.

[0010] According to the present invention having the features of claim 2, it is possible to supply power to the third row seat (third seat). Since many third row sliding seats are folded up and stored facing the side wall of the vehicle, the power supply structure for a sliding seat of the present invention, which is not disposed on the floor, can be said to be useful.

[0017] The present invention described in claim 6 is characterized in that, in the power supply structure for a slide sheet described in claim 5, a bending restriction portion is formed within the wire accommodating portion to restrict the bending shape of the middle of the wire when the diameter is reduced.

[0018] According to the present invention having the features of claim 6, since the bend restricting portion is formed in the electric wire accommodating portion, the bend shape of the middle part of the electric wire can be restricted when the slide sheet moves so that the diameter of the middle part of the electric wire is reduced. That is, the bend shape of the middle part of the electric wire can be restricted so as not to be abruptly bent.

[0019] The wire harness of the present invention described in claim 7, which has been made to solve the above problems, includes an electric wire for supplying power to a sliding seat that is arranged on a floor and moves in a full-length direction of a vehicle, and a protector device for causing the electric wire to follow the movement of the sliding seat in the full-length direction, the protector device being formed so as to be capable of being arranged and fixed to a side wall of the vehicle and being capable of routing the electric wire from the side wall toward a seat side part of the sliding seat, the protector device further including a protector main body that houses an intermediate portion of the electric wire, and a rotor provided in the intermediate portion of the electric wire, the protector main body having a guide opening that is elongated and opened along the full-length direction. and a second guide opening that is elongated along the overall length direction. The rotor is formed in a shape in which the middle of the electric wire at the rotor installation position is bent by approximately 90 degrees, and the guide opening and at least one of the second guide openingsThe guide opening is formed in a shape that allows the seat to slide freely in the full length direction by being guided by the guide opening, and the guide opening is formed around an axis that extends from the side wall toward the side of the seat. and at least one of the second guide openings It is characterized in that it is formed in a shape that allows it to rotate freely.

[0020] According to the present invention having the features of claim 7, the protector device is disposed on the side wall of the vehicle so that the electric wire is routed from the side wall of the vehicle toward the seat side of the sliding seat, so that the protector device can be prevented from being stepped on by an occupant. Also, according to the present invention, the protector device does not need to have a rigidity that can withstand being stepped on by an occupant, so that the protector device can be prevented from becoming large in size.

[0021] Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the protector device comprises a protector body and a rotor, and since the rotor is freely slidable and rotatable as described above, a better form can be provided in which electric wires are routed from the side wall of the vehicle toward the side of the sliding seat, and in which the electric wires follow the movement of the sliding seat.

[0027] <About the power supply structure for sliding seats 1 and wire harness 2> 1, the power supply structure for a sliding seat 1 is a structure for supplying power and transmitting signals to a sliding seat 3 of a vehicle such as an automobile using a wire harness 2. The power supply structure for a sliding seat 1 and the wire harness 2 are provided for electrically connecting a power source and an ECU (electronic control unit) mounted on the vehicle to electronic devices and various sensors provided on the sliding seat 3.

[0028] The sliding seat 3 in this embodiment refers to a seat that is arranged on the floor 4 of the vehicle interior and moves in the vehicle's overall length direction. The sliding seat 3 refers to a seat arranged in the third row counting from the front in the vehicle's overall length direction, that is, a third seat. Although not shown in particular, the sliding seat 3 can be flipped up and stored toward a side wall panel 6 that constitutes a side wall 5 of the vehicle. The vehicle is not limited to automobiles, and may be, for example, a train, as long as the sliding seat 3 slides along the side wall panel 6. In FIG. 1, the sliding seat 3 shown by the solid line indicates a state in which it is in the rearmost position (the position when pulled all the way back), and the sliding seat 3 shown by the two-dot chain line indicates a state in which it has moved to the foremost position (the position when pulled all the way forward).

[0029] 1 and 2, in the power supply structure for a sliding seat 1, the main structural part 7 is disposed on the side wall panel 6 of the side wall 5. The main structural part 7 is also the main structural part 7 of the wire harness 2. In FIG. 2, a rail 8 is provided on the side wall panel 6. The rail 8 is formed so as to extend straight in the overall length direction of the vehicle. A slider 9 is slidably provided on the rail 8. The slider 9 is connected to the sliding seat 3 (see FIG. 1). The slider 9 moves in the overall length direction in a state in which it accompanies the sliding seat 3. The slider 9 is formed with a part for drawing out a downstream intermediate electric wire 15 (described later with reference to FIG. 9) arranged on the sliding seat 3 (reference numeral omitted, see FIG. 2).

[0030] In Fig. 2, a guide opening 10 is formed in the side wall panel 6. The guide opening 10 on the side wall panel 6 side is formed in a portion that opens elongated along the overall length of the vehicle. At the position of the guide opening 10 on the side wall panel 6 side (on the rear side of the side wall panel 6), main structural parts 7 of the power supply structure for a sliding seat 1 and the wire harness 2 are provided as shown in Fig. 3. The main structural parts 7 will be described below.

[0031] <Regarding the main structural part 7 of the power supply structure 1 for the sliding seat and the wire harness 2> 4 and 11, the main structural part 7 of the power supply structure for a sliding seat 1 and the wire harness 2 is configured to include electric wires 11 routed from the power source and ECU (electronic control unit) to the sliding seat 3, and a protector device 12 for causing the electric wires 11 to follow the movement of the sliding seat 3 in the above-mentioned overall length direction. The side of the main structural part 7 visible in FIG. 4 is fixed to the rear surface of the side wall panel 6.

[0032] <About Electric Wire 11> In Fig. 4, Fig. 5, and Fig. 9, the electric wire 11 is configured so as to be capable of supplying power to the slide sheet 3 (see Fig. 1). The electric wire 11 in this embodiment is formed so as to be covered with a sheath collectively (this is an example). The electric wire 11 has flexibility, and is adapted to have a shape such as a 90-degree bend or a sagging shape due to its own weight. The protector device 12 is disposed in the electric wire intermediate portion 13, which is the middle of the electric wire 11. With regard to the electric wire intermediate portion 13, the upstream side of the protector device 12 (the side where the power source and the like are present) is referred to as the upstream electric wire intermediate portion 14. Also, the downstream side of the protector device 12 (the side where the slide sheet 3 is arranged) is referred to as the downstream electric wire intermediate portion 15. The upstream electric wire intermediate portion 14 and the downstream electric wire intermediate portion 15 are fixed at the position where they are pulled out from the protector device 12, for example, using a cable tie or the like. 8 and 15 is secured within the protector device 12. The length of the intermediate wire 13 within the protector device 12 is significantly shorter than that of Patent Document 1 (which results in a smaller protector device 12 than that of Patent Document 1).

[0033] <Regarding the protector device 12> 4 and 11, the protector device 12 is disposed in the middle 13 of the electric wires so that the electric wires 11 follow the movement of the sliding sheet 3 (see FIG. 1) in the above-mentioned overall length direction. The protector device 12 is fixed to the rear surface of the side wall panel 6 (see FIG. 3). The protector device 12 is also fixed in accordance with the position of the guide opening 10 on the side wall panel 6 side. Such a protector device 12 is configured to include a protector body 16 made of resin and a rotor 17 also made of resin.

[0034] <About the protector body 16> 4, 5, 11, and 12, the protector body 16 is configured to include a protector base 18 and a protector cover 19 that fits into the protector base 18. The protector body 16 thus configured is formed into the illustrated shape, having a rotor slide portion 20, an electric wire housing portion 21, and a panel fixing portion (not shown).

[0035] The rotor slide portion 20 is formed in a portion where the rotor 17 can slide freely in the full length direction while "swinging" as described later. To explain in more detail, the rotor slide portion 20 is formed such that a guide opening 22 is formed on the protector base 18 side, and a second guide opening 23 is formed on the protector cover 19 side, and the rotor 17 slides in the full length direction while "swinging" by these guide openings 22 and second guide opening 23. The guide opening 22 is formed in a portion that opens elongatedly along the full length direction. The guide opening 22 is arranged to match the position of the guide opening 10 (see FIG. 2) on the side wall panel 6 side. The second guide opening 23 is formed in a portion that opens elongatedly along the full length direction like the guide opening 22. The second guide opening 23 is arranged in a position opposite to the guide opening 22. The guide opening 22 and the second guide opening 23 are formed to open in accordance with the sliding amount (length, distance) of the slide sheet 3 (see FIG. 1).

[0036] The above-mentioned "oscillation" refers to the manner in which the rotor 17 moves in the rotational direction around the axis CL. That is, the manner in which the rotor 17 moves as shown in Figures 5 to 8 and Figures 12 to 15 is called "oscillation." The axis CL extends straight from the side wall 5 (see Figure 1) toward the seat side portion 33 of the sliding seat 3 (see Figure 1), and the direction in which the axis CL extends is perpendicular to the overall length direction and the up-down direction.

[0037] The electric wire housing 21 is formed in a portion housing the electric wire intermediate 13. Such an electric wire housing 21 is disposed on the floor 4 (see FIG. 1) side of the rotor slide portion 20. It is possible to dispose the electric wire housing 21 on the upper side of the rotor slide portion 20, but in this case, for example, a spring part or the like is required to restrict the sagging of the housed electric wire intermediate 13 due to its own weight, so the structure of this embodiment is of course preferable. The electric wire housing 21 is formed in a substantially V-shape in side view that is convex toward the floor 4 side. Since the electric wire housing 21 is substantially V-shaped in side view that is convex toward the floor 4 side, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 13, the housed state of the electric wire intermediate 13 can be improved. In addition, the housed state of the electric wire intermediate 13 can be stabilized. A bend restricting portion 24 is formed on the protector base 18 side of the electric wire housing 21. The bend restricting portion 24 is formed in the illustrated shape as a portion that restricts the bend shape of the electric wire intermediate portion 13 when the diameter of the electric wire intermediate portion 13 is reduced (see FIG. 12). The bend restricting portion 24 may be formed on the protector cover 19 side. Reference numeral 25 in the electric wire accommodating portion 21 denotes an electric wire outlet. The upstream electric wire intermediate portion 14 is drawn out from the electric wire outlet 25.

[0038] <About Rotor 17> 4 to 17, the rotor 17 is attached to the electric wire intermediate portion 13 closer to the downstream electric wire intermediate portion 15 in such a state that the electric wire intermediate portion 13 is bent 90 degrees. The rotor 17 is configured to include a first rotor part 26 and a second rotor part 27 that fit together. The first rotor part 26 is formed into the illustrated shape having a first tubular portion 28 and a lid portion 29. The first tubular portion 28 is formed into a cylindrical shape. The electric wire intermediate portion 13 is inserted into the first tubular portion 28. The first tubular portion 28 is formed so as to be inserted into the guide opening 22 and guided slidably and rotatably in the above-mentioned overall length direction. The lid portion 29 is formed in a portion of the second rotor part 27 that covers a housing portion 30 described later.

[0039] The second rotor part 27 is formed into the illustrated shape and has an accommodation portion 30 and a second tubular portion 31. The accommodation portion 30 has an electric wire pull-out portion 32. The accommodation portion 30 is formed into a substantially groove-shaped (substantially box-shaped) portion that accommodates the electric wire intermediate portion 13 so that it is pulled out from the electric wire pull-out portion 32. The second tubular portion 31 is formed to be inserted into the second guide opening 23 and guided so as to be slidable and rotatable in the overall length direction.

[0040] <About the movement of the rotor 17 and the wire intermediate portion 13> The following describes the movement state of the rotor 17 and the wire intermediate portion 13 when the slide sheet 3 is moved from its rearmost position (the position when pulled all the way back) to its frontmost position (the position when pulled all the way forward) as shown in FIG.

[0041] First, in the first movement position, the rotor 17 is in a state as shown in Figures 4, 5, 11, and 12. That is, the rotor 17 is in a state in which the first tubular portion 28 and the second tubular portion 31 are located at the rear ends of the guide opening 22 and the second guide opening 23, and the cover portion 29 and the accommodating portion 30 have their electric wire pull-out portions 32 facing the front ends of the guide opening 22 and the second guide opening 23. At this time, the bending state of the electric wire middle portion 13 is restricted by the bending restriction portion 24.

[0042] Next, in the second movement position, the rotor 17 is in the state shown in Figures 6 and 13. That is, the rotor 17 rotates while sliding, and the electric wire pull-out portion 32 faces obliquely downward. At this time, the electric wire middle portion 13 is bent so as to contact the inclined surface of the electric wire accommodating portion 21.

[0043] Next, in the third movement position, the rotor 17 is in the state shown in Figures 7 and 14. That is, the rotor 17 rotates while sliding, and the electric wire pull-out portion 32 faces downward. At this time, the electric wire middle portion 13 is bent and raised from the inclined surface of the electric wire accommodating portion 21.

[0044] Finally, in the fourth movement position, the rotor 17 is in the state shown in Figures 8 and 15. That is, the rotor 17 rotates while sliding, and the first tubular portion 28 and the second tubular portion 31 are positioned at the front ends of the guide opening 22 and the second guide opening 23. At this time, the wire middle portion 13 is in a state of extending obliquely and substantially straight.

[0045] When the slide seat 3 is moved from the frontmost position to the rearmost position, the above-mentioned operations are reversed, and therefore the explanation thereof will be omitted here.

[0046] <About the effects> As described above with reference to Figs. 1 to 17, the power supply structure for a sliding seat 1 and the wire harness 2 according to one embodiment of the present invention can supply power to the sliding seat 3 (third seat). In addition, the power supply structure for a sliding seat 1 and the wire harness 2 can prevent the protector device 12 from being stepped on by an occupant because the main structural portion 7 is disposed on the side wall panel 6 of the side wall 5. If the protector device 12 can be prevented from being stepped on by an occupant, it is not necessary to provide the protector device 12 with the conventional rigidity, and therefore the protector device 12 can be prevented from being enlarged. In addition, as can be seen from the above description of the moving state and the illustrated shape, the protector device 12 can be made smaller than the conventional one.

[0047] Of course, the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
