DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. The wire harness of the present disclosure includes: [1] A wire harness main body having an electric wire member and an exterior member covering an outer periphery of the electric wire member, a first path regulating member attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member and regulating a path of the wire harness main body, and an attachment member attached to the outer periphery of the first path regulating member at a portion of its longitudinal direction, wherein the first path regulating member has an insertion opening that opens in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first path regulating member and extends over the entire longitudinal direction of the first path regulating member, and the attachment member has a receiving portion that covers a portion of the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member, a lid that covers the entire periphery of the first path regulating member together with the receiving portion, and a suppressing member that holds down the lid from the outside to suppress the lid from separating from the receiving portion, and the receiving portion and the lid sandwich the first path regulating member.

[0010] According to this configuration, the lid is prevented from being separated from the receiving part because the suppressing member that suppresses the lid from being separated from the receiving part is provided from the outside of the lid. The receiving part and the lid sandwich the first path regulating member. In this way, rattling between the receiving part and the lid is suppressed compared to a configuration in which, for example, the lid is integrally molded with the receiving part via a thin hinge part, and the lid is simply locked to the receiving part by engagement of the claw part in the closed state. That is, in a configuration having a thin hinge part and a claw part, rattling between the receiving part and the lid is likely to occur at each part of the hinge part and the claw part, but this can be avoided. Therefore, the first path regulating member can be sandwiched between the receiving part and the lid without rattling, and rattling between the first path regulating member and the mounting member can be suppressed.

[0011] [2] It is preferable that the suppression member is a flexible C-ring that covers the receiving portion and the lid from the outside. According to this configuration, the suppression member is a flexible C-ring that covers the receiving portion and the lid from the outside, so that the simple configuration can suppress the lid from coming off the receiving portion.

[0012] [3] It is preferable that one circumferential end of the receiving portion and the other circumferential end of the lid are connected via a hinge portion, and the suppressing member is a spring member that biases the other circumferential end side of the receiving portion and the one circumferential end side of the lid in a direction toward each other.

[0013] According to this configuration, the restraining member is a spring member that biases the other circumferential end side of the receiving portion and the one circumferential end side of the lid in a direction to bring them closer together, so that the biasing force of the spring member can effectively prevent the lid from separating from the receiving portion.

[0014] [4] It is preferable that the restraining member is a cable tie that covers the entire circumferential direction of the receiving portion and the lid and binds the receiving portion and the lid together. According to this configuration, the restraining member is a cable tie that binds the receiving portion and the lid while covering the entire circumferential direction of the receiving portion and the lid, so that with a simple configuration, the lid can be prevented from separating from the receiving portion.

[0015] [5] It is preferable that at least one of the receiving portion and the cover has an engaging portion capable of engaging with the restraining member in the longitudinal direction of the mounting member. According to this configuration, at least one of the receiving portion and the lid has an engaging portion that can engage with the restricting member in the longitudinal direction of the mounting member, so that the restricting member can be prevented from shifting in the longitudinal direction of the mounting member.

[0016] [6] It is preferable that the mounting member is a second path regulating member attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member and regulating the path of the wire harness main body, and the receiving portion is provided at a longitudinal end of the second path regulating member and covers a circumferential portion of the longitudinal end of the first path regulating member.

[0017] According to this configuration, the receiving portion is provided at the end of the second path regulating member in the longitudinal direction and covers a part of the circumferential direction at the end of the first path regulating member in the longitudinal direction, so that the first path regulating member and the second path regulating member are connected in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the path of the wire harness main body is continuously regulated by the first path regulating member and the second path regulating member.

[0018] [7] It is preferable that the first path regulating member regulates the path of a straight portion, which is a straight portion in the path of the wire harness main body, and the second path regulating member regulates the path of a bent portion, which is a bent portion in the path of the wire harness main body.

[0019] According to this configuration, the path of the straight portion is restricted by the first path restricting member, and the path of the bent portion is restricted by the second path restricting member, thereby continuously preventing the paths of the straight portion and the bent portion of the wire harness main body from deviating from the desired paths.

[0020] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wire harness of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, for convenience of explanation, some of the configuration may be exaggerated or simplified. In addition, the dimensional ratio of each part may differ in each drawing. In this specification, "parallel" and "orthogonal" do not only mean strictly parallel or orthogonal, but also include roughly parallel or orthogonal within the range in which the action and effect of this embodiment is achieved. Note that the present invention is not limited to these examples, but is indicated by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0021] (Overall configuration of the wire harness 10) A wire harness 10 shown in FIG. 1 is mounted on a vehicle V such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle. The wire harness 10 electrically connects two or more in-vehicle devices to each other. The in-vehicle devices are electrical devices mounted on the vehicle V. The wire harness 10 electrically connects, for example, an inverter M1 installed at the front of the vehicle V and a high-voltage battery M2 installed behind the inverter M1 on the vehicle V. The wire harness 10 is formed in an elongated shape so as to extend, for example, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle V. The wire harness 10 is routed in the vehicle V so that, for example, a middle portion of the length of the wire harness 10 passes outside the passenger compartment, such as under the floor of the vehicle V.

[0022] The inverter M1 is connected to, for example, a wheel drive motor (not shown) that serves as a power source for driving the vehicle. The inverter M1 generates AC power from DC power of a high-voltage battery M2 and supplies the AC power to the motor. The high-voltage battery M2 is, for example, a battery capable of supplying a voltage of several hundred volts.

[0023] The wire harness 10 has a wire harness main body 11. The wire harness main body 11 has an electric wire member 20 and a cylindrical exterior member 30 that covers the outer periphery of the electric wire member 20. The wire harness 10 has connectors C1, C2 attached to both ends of the electric wire member 20. One end in the length direction of the electric wire member 20 is connected to the inverter M1 via the connector C1, and the other end in the length direction of the electric wire member 20 is connected to the high-voltage battery M2 via the connector C2.

[0024] 2 and 3, the wire harness 10 has a first path regulating member 40 attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30, and a second path regulating member 60 as an attachment member attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30. The first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 regulate the route along which the wire harness main body 11 is routed. Note that the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 are not shown in FIG.

[0025] (Configuration of the electric wire member 20) As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the electric wire member 20 may be, for example, one or more electric wires, and in this embodiment, it has two electric wires 21 and a braided member 25 that collectively surrounds the outer periphery of the multiple electric wires 21.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 5, each electric wire 21 is a covered electric wire having a conductive core wire 22 and an insulating covering 23 that surrounds the outer periphery of the core wire 22 and has insulating properties. Each electric wire 21 is, for example, a high-tension electric wire that can handle high voltage and large current. Each electric wire 21 may be, for example, a non-shielded electric wire that does not have an electromagnetic shield structure itself, or a shielded electric wire that has an electromagnetic shield structure itself. Each electric wire 21 in this embodiment is a non-shielded electric wire.

[0027] The core wire 22 may be, for example, a stranded wire made of a plurality of metal wires stranded together, or a single core wire made of a single conductor. The single core wire may be, for example, a columnar conductor made of a single metal rod having a solid interior structure, or a tubular conductor having a hollow interior structure. The core wire 22 may be a combination of a stranded wire, a columnar conductor, and a tubular conductor. The material of the core wire 22 may be, for example, a copper-based or aluminum-based metal material.

[0028] The insulating coating 23, for example, covers the entire outer circumferential surface of the core wire 22. The insulating coating 23 is made of, for example, a resin material having insulating properties. The cross-sectional shape of each electric wire 21 cut by a plane perpendicular to the length direction of each electric wire 21, that is, the transverse cross-sectional shape of each electric wire 21, can be formed into any shape. The transverse cross-sectional shape of each electric wire 21 is formed into, for example, a circular shape, a semicircular shape, a polygonal shape, a square shape, a flat shape, or the like. The transverse cross-sectional shape of each electric wire 21 in this embodiment is formed into a circular shape.

[0029] The braided member 25 has, for example, a cylindrical shape that collectively surrounds the outer circumference of the plurality of electric wires 21. As the braided member 25, for example, a braided wire in which a plurality of metal wires are woven, or a braided wire in which metal wires and resin wires are combined and woven, can be used. As the material of the metal wires, for example, a copper-based or aluminum-based metal material can be used. Although not shown in the drawings, both ends of the braided member 25 in the length direction are earthed, for example, by connectors C1 and C2 (see FIG. 1).

[0030] (Configuration of exterior member 30) As shown in Fig. 4, the exterior member 30 has a tubular shape surrounding the outer periphery of the electric wire member 20 over the entire circumferential direction. The exterior member 30 of this embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape. For example, the exterior member 30 has a peripheral wall formed continuously over the entire circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. For example, the exterior member 30 seals the inside of the exterior member 30 over the entire circumferential direction. The exterior member 30 has a function of protecting the electric wire member 20 from flying objects and water droplets, for example.

[0031] The exterior member 30 is, for example, flexible and easily bendable. Examples of the flexible exterior member 30 include, for example, a resin corrugated tube and a rubber waterproof cover. The exterior member 30 of this embodiment is a resin corrugated tube having a bellows shape in which the diameters are repeatedly increased and decreased in the length direction of the exterior member 30. That is, the exterior member 30 of this embodiment has a bellows structure in which large diameter parts 31 and small diameter parts 32 having a diameter smaller than the large diameter parts 31 are alternately provided along the length direction of the exterior member 30. Each of the large diameter parts 31 and the small diameter parts 32 is, for example, an annular shape that goes around once along the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. As the material of the exterior member 30, for example, a synthetic resin such as polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, or ABS resin can be used. In addition, in Figs. 1 to 3, the exterior member 30 is illustrated in a simplified form in order to simplify the drawings.

[0032] (Configuration of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60) As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 holds the exterior member 30. Each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 is, for example, harder than the exterior member 30. Each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 has a hardness that makes it difficult to bend in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the wire harness main body 11 compared to the exterior member 30. As a result, each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 regulates the path of the wire harness main body 11. For example, each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 assists the exterior member 30 so that the wire harness main body 11 does not bend due to its own weight or the like and deviate from a desired path.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 2, the first path regulating member 40 is provided partially in the length direction of the wire harness main body 11. The first path regulating member 40 is attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30, for example, at a straight portion 11A that is a straight portion of the path of the wire harness main body 11. The first path regulating member 40 regulates the path of the wire harness main body 11 at the straight portion 11A. Here, the straight portion 11A is a portion where the path of the wire harness main body 11 extends linearly in one direction. Note that one or more first path regulating members 40 are provided depending on the path of the wire harness main body 11.

[0034] The second path regulating member 60 is provided partially in the length direction of the wire harness main body 11. The second path regulating member 60 is attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 at, for example, a bent portion 11B which is a bent portion of the path of the wire harness main body 11. The second path regulating member 60 regulates the path of the wire harness main body 11 at the bent portion 11B. Here, the bent portion 11B is a portion where the path of the wire harness main body 11 is bent so as to deviate from a straight line. Note that one or more second path regulating members 60 are provided depending on the path of the wire harness main body 11.

[0035] (Configuration of the first path regulating member 40) As shown in FIG. 5, the first path regulating member 40 covers a part of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 in the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. The first path regulating member 40 has a shape that covers the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 in a part of the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. The cross-sectional shape of the first path regulating member 40 is generally C-shaped. The first path regulating member 40 covers, for example, a range larger than half of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30. That is, the first path regulating member 40 covers, for example, a range larger than half of the entire circumferential direction of the exterior member 30 in the outer periphery of the exterior member 30. As shown in FIG. 2, the first path regulating member 40 extends along the length direction of the exterior member 30 in the straight portion 11A. The first path regulating member 40 is formed, for example, in a shape that extends linearly in one direction. The cross-sectional shape of the first path regulating member 40 is, for example, uniform over the entire length of the first path regulating member 40 in the length direction.

[0036] The first path regulating member 40 is made of, for example, metal or resin. The first path regulating member 40 of this embodiment is made of resin. As the material of the first path regulating member 40, for example, synthetic resin such as polypropylene, polyamide, polyacetal, etc. can be used. The first path regulating member 40 can be manufactured by a well-known manufacturing method such as extrusion molding or injection molding. In this embodiment, the first path regulating member 40 is an extrusion molded product manufactured by extrusion molding. Therefore, the first path regulating member 40 can be easily manufactured by using an extrusion molding machine that extrudes the raw material of the first path regulating member 40 in the length direction. In addition, a single extrusion molding machine can be used to manufacture multiple types of first path regulating members 40 with different length dimensions. For example, a cutting machine can be used to cut the base material of the first path regulating member 40 formed by a single extrusion molding machine at any length to manufacture multiple types of first path regulating members 40 with different length dimensions.

[0037] The first path regulating member 40 has an insertion opening 40X that opens in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the first path regulating member 40. The insertion opening 40X extends over the entire length direction of the first path regulating member 40. The first path regulating member 40 has a first end 41 and a second end 42 that are both ends of the first path regulating member 40 in the circumferential direction and form the insertion opening 40X. The first path regulating member 40 has a connecting portion 43 that connects the first end 41 and the second end 42. In other words, the first path regulating member 40 has the connecting portion 43 formed so as to cover a part of the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30, the first end 41 and the second end 42 provided at both ends of the connecting portion 43, and the insertion opening 40X formed by the first end 41 and the second end 42.

[0038] 5, the connecting portion 43 constitutes a main portion of the first path regulating member 40. The radial thickness of the connecting portion 43 is, for example, uniform in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion 43 is, for example, formed into a shape that follows the outer surface of the exterior member 30. The cross-sectional shapes of the first end portion 41, the second end portion 42, and the connecting portion 43 are, for example, formed into an arc shape.

[0039] The first end 41 and the second end 42 are provided on opposite sides of the first path regulating member 40 in the circumferential direction. The first end 41 and the second end 42 are provided apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40, sandwiching the insertion opening 40X therebetween. In other words, a gap between the first end 41 and the second end 42 in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40 is configured as the insertion opening 40X. In this manner, the first path regulating member 40 is formed in a C-shape having the insertion opening 40X at a portion of the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40.

[0040] The cross-sectional shape of the tip of the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 is formed into a curved shape. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the tip of the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 is formed into an arc shape.

[0041] The first path regulating member 40 has a protruding portion 45 protruding from the inner surface of the first end portion 41 and a protruding portion 46 protruding from the inner surface of the second end portion 42. Each of the protruding portions 45, 46 protrudes toward the exterior member 30 inserted inside the first path regulating member 40 and contacts the outer surface of the exterior member 30. Each of the protruding portions 45, 46 contacts the outer surface of the large diameter portion 31 of the exterior member 30. The protruding portion 45 protrudes, for example, from the inner surface of the tip of the first end portion 41. The protruding portion 46 protrudes, for example, from the inner surface of the tip of the second end portion 42. The cross-sectional shape of each of the protruding portions 45, 46 is formed, for example, in a curved shape. The cross-sectional shape of each of the protruding portions 45, 46 in this embodiment is formed in an arc shape.

[0042] 3, each of the protrusions 45, 46 extends in the length direction of the first path regulating member 40. Each of the protrusions 45, 46 extends, for example, over the entire length of the first path regulating member 40 in the length direction.

[0043] The protruding portions 45, 46 press the exterior member 30 from the outside of the exterior member 30. The exterior member 30 is elastically sandwiched between the protruding portions 45, 46, and the connecting portion 43. This makes the connection of the first path regulating member 40 to the exterior member 30 strong.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 5, the opening width of the insertion opening 40X, that is, the shortest distance between the first end 41 and the second end 42, is smaller than the outer diameter of the exterior member 30. The opening width of the insertion opening 40X becomes larger as the first path regulating member 40 elastically deforms. For example, the opening width of the insertion opening 40X becomes larger as the exterior member 30 is inserted into the insertion opening 40X from a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the first path regulating member 40. When the exterior member 30 is inserted into the first path regulating member 40, the first path regulating member 40 elastically returns to its original shape. As a result, the opening width of the insertion opening 40X becomes smaller than the outer diameter of the exterior member 30, and the first path regulating member 40 is attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30.

[0045] (Configuration of the second path regulating member 60) 2, the second path regulating member 60 is attached to the outer periphery of a portion of the first path regulating member 40 in the longitudinal direction. The second path regulating member 60 is attached to the outer periphery of an end portion of the first path regulating member 40 in the longitudinal direction. The second path regulating member 60 is also attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 at the bent portion 11B. The second path regulating member 60 extends along the longitudinal direction of the exterior member 30 at the bent portion 11B. The second path regulating member 60 is bent, for example, to follow the shape of the bent portion 11B.

[0046] The second path regulation member 60 includes a second path regulation body 61 , a cover 62 , and a suppression member 63 . The second path regulating member 60 is made of, for example, metal or resin. In this embodiment, the second path regulating member 60 is made of resin. As a material for the second path regulating member 60, for example, synthetic resin such as polypropylene, polyamide, polyacetal, etc. can be used. The second path regulating member 60 can be manufactured by a well-known manufacturing method such as injection molding.

[0047] The second path regulating body 61 has a main body portion 64 and a receiving portion 65. In this embodiment, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 configure a covering portion 66. The main body portion 64 covers a part of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 in the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. The main body portion 64 has a shape that covers the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 in a part of the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. The cross-sectional shape of the main body portion 64 is a semi-cylindrical shape as a whole. The main body portion 64 covers half of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30. As shown in FIG. 2, the main body portion 64 extends along the length direction of the exterior member 30 at the bent portion 11B. The main body portion 64 is bent along the shape of the bent portion 11B.

[0048] The receiving portion 65 is provided at the end of the second path regulating member 60 in the length direction, which is also the end of the main body portion 64 in the length direction. The receiving portion 65 covers a part of the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40 among the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40. The receiving portion 65 covers a part of the circumferential direction at the end of the length direction of the first path regulating member 40. The receiving portion 65 is shaped to cover the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40 in a part of the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40. The cross-sectional shape of the receiving portion 65 is a semi-cylindrical shape as a whole. The receiving portion 65 is shaped as a semi-cylindrical shape with a diameter larger than that of the main body portion 64. The receiving portion 65 covers half of the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40.

[0049] The receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are integrally molded products made of the same material. That is, the second path regulating member 60 of this embodiment is an integrally molded product in which the entire second path regulating body 61 and the lid 62 are made of the same material. The lid 62 is connected to the receiving portion 65 via a thin hinge portion 67. More specifically, one end of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction is connected to the other end of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction via the thin hinge portion 67. The lid 62 can rotate around the hinge portion 67 with respect to the receiving portion 65. The covering portion 66 can be transformed into a closed state in which the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are closed, and an open state in which the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are open. The covering portion 66 covers the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40 in the closed state.

[0050] The lid 62 has a claw portion 68. Furthermore, the receiving portion 65 has an engaged portion 69 with which the claw portion 68 can engage. More specifically, the engaged portion 69 is provided at the other circumferential end of the receiving portion 65. The claw portion 68 is provided at one circumferential end of the lid 62. The claw portion 68 engages with the engaged portion 69 when the covering portion 66 is in the closed state. The claw portion 68 engages with the engaged portion 69, whereby the lid 62 is fixed so as not to be rotatable relative to the receiving portion 65. More specifically, when the claw portion 68 engages with the engaged portion 69, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are prevented from rotating relative to each other, and the covering portion 66 is maintained in the closed state.

[0051] The lid 62 covers the entire circumference of the first path regulating member 40 together with the receiving portion 65. More specifically, when the covering portion 66 is in the closed state, the lid 62 covers the entire circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40 together with the receiving portion 65. The lid 62 of this embodiment covers a part of the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40 and a part of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 exposed from the insertion opening 40X. The cross-sectional shape of the lid 62 is semicylindrical as a whole. The lid 62 has a semicylindrical shape with the same diameter as the diameter of the receiving portion 65. The lid 62 covers a part of the circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40 that is not covered by the receiving portion 65, and covers half of the circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, the lid 62 has one or more protrusions 70 protruding from the inner surface of the lid 62, and in this embodiment, five protrusions 70. The multiple protrusions 70 are provided at intervals in the length direction of the second path regulating member 60. Each protrusion 70 is provided, for example, in the middle part of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 5, each protrusion 70 protrudes toward the exterior member 30 inserted inside the second path regulating member 60, for example, when the covering portion 66 is in the closed state and the lid 62 is in the closed position. Each protrusion 70 is formed, for example, so that the tip of the protrusion 70 contacts the outer circumferential surface of the small diameter portion 32. The tip of each protrusion 70 is, for example, arc-shaped along the outer circumferential surface of the small diameter portion 32. This suppresses the movement of the exterior member 30 relative to the second path regulating member 60 in the length direction of the exterior member 30. Therefore, it is possible to suitably suppress the second path restricting member 60 from being misaligned with respect to the exterior member 30 in the length direction of the wire harness main body 11 .

[0053] 2 and 5, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 constituting the covering portion 66 have an engagement recess 71 as an engagement portion. The engagement recess 71 is provided in the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the covering portion 66. The engagement recess 71 is recessed from the outer circumferential surfaces of the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62. The engagement recess 71 is provided over most of the portions of the outer periphery of the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 where the hinge portion 67, the claw portion 68, and the engaged portion 69 are not provided.

[0054] The restricting member 63 restricts the lid 62 from being separated from the receiving portion 65 by pressing down the lid 62 from the outside. More specifically, the suppression member 63 of this embodiment is a flexible C-ring that covers the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 from the outside. The suppression member 63 is C-shaped. In other words, the suppression member 63 is a C-shaped member having a shape obtained by removing a range of less than 180° from a circle. The suppression member 63 of this embodiment is a C-shaped member having a shape obtained by removing a range of less than 90° from a circle.

[0055] The suppression member 63 is made of, for example, metal or resin. In this embodiment, the suppression member 63 is made of resin. As the material of the suppression member 63, for example, synthetic resin such as polypropylene, polyamide, polyacetal, etc. can be used. The suppression member 63 can be manufactured by a well-known manufacturing method such as extrusion molding or injection molding.

[0056] The suppressing member 63 is attached to the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 so as to fit into the engagement recess 71. The suppressing member 63 is engaged with the engagement recess 71 in the length direction of the second path regulating member 60, thereby suppressing the second path regulating member 60 from being displaced in the length direction. The suppressing member 63 has a recess 72 on the inner surface at the center in the circumferential direction of the suppressing member 63. The suppressing member 63 is attached to the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 so that the hinge portion 67 fits into the recess 72. The suppressing member 63 presses the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 together. The suppressing member 63 attached in this manner holds down the lid 62 from the outside of the receiving portion 65 to suppress the lid 62 from being separated from the receiving portion 65 even if the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 try to be slightly separated due to the engagement state between the claw portion 68 and the engaged portion 69, deformation of the hinge portion 67, or the like. As a result, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 sandwich the first path regulating member 40. In other words, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are maintained in a state in which the first path regulating member 40 is sandwiched between them by the suppressing member 63.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 2, the wire harness 10 has a slide restricting member 73 that restricts the sliding movement of the first path restricting member 40 in the length direction of the exterior member 30. The wire harness 10 has a slide restricting member 74 that restricts the sliding movement of the second path restricting member 60 in the length direction of the exterior member 30. As the slide restricting members 73 and 74, for example, a resin or metal cable tie, a crimping ring, or an adhesive tape can be used. The slide restricting members 73 and 74 in this embodiment are adhesive tapes. The slide restricting member 73 is wrapped around an end of the first path restricting member 40 on the side not connected to the second path restricting member 60 and the exterior member 30. The slide restricting member 74 is wrapped around an end of the second path restricting member 60 on the side not connected to the first path restricting member 40 and the exterior member 30.

[0058] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are prevented from separating from each other by the prevention member 63. Therefore, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 constituting the covering portion 66 maintain a state in which the first path regulating member 40 is sandwiched between them. Therefore, the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 maintain a connected state. Therefore, the path of the wire harness main body 11 is continuously regulated.

[0059] Next, the effects of the above embodiment will be described below. (1) The lid 62 is prevented from being separated from the receiving portion 65 because the suppressing member 63 is provided to suppress the lid 62 from being separated from the receiving portion 65 from the outside. The receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 sandwich the first path regulating member 40. In this manner, rattling between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 is suppressed compared to a configuration in which, for example, the lid 62 is integrally molded with the receiving portion 65 via the thin hinge portion 67, and the lid 62 is simply locked to the receiving portion 65 by the engagement of the claw portion 68 in the closed state. That is, in a configuration having the thin hinge portion 67 and the claw portion 68, rattling between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 is likely to occur at each portion of the hinge portion 67 and the claw portion 68, but this can be avoided. Therefore, the first path regulating member 40 can be sandwiched between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 without rattling, and rattling between the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 can be suppressed. As a result, for example, damage to the attachment portion between the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 can be suppressed, and the path of the wire harness main body 11 can be stably regulated.

[0060] (2) The suppression member 63 is a flexible C-ring that covers the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 from the outside. Therefore, with a simple structure, the suppression member 63 can suppress the lid 62 from being separated from the receiving portion 65. (3) The receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 have the engagement recess 71 as an engagement portion that can engage with the suppression member 63 in the longitudinal direction of the second path regulating member 60, so that the suppression member 63 can be prevented from shifting in the longitudinal direction of the second path regulating member 60.

[0061] (4) The attachment member attached to the first path-regulating member 40 is the second path-regulating member 60 that is attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 and regulates the path of the wire harness main body 11. The receiving portion 65 is provided at an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the second path-regulating member 60 and covers a part of the circumferential direction at the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the first path-regulating member 40, so that the first path-regulating member 40 and the second path-regulating member 60 are connected in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the path of the wire harness main body 11 is continuously regulated by the first path-regulating member 40 and the second path-regulating member 60.

[0062] (5) The first path regulating member 40 regulates the path of the straight portion 11A of the wire harness main body 11, and the second path regulating member 60 regulates the path of the bent portion 11B of the wire harness main body 11. This continuously prevents the paths of the straight portion 11A and the bent portion 11B of the wire harness main body 11 from deviating from the desired paths.

[0063] (Other embodiments) The above embodiment can be modified as follows: The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that no technical contradiction occurs.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the suppression member 63 is a flexible C-ring that covers the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 from the outside, but the suppression member may be changed to one with a different configuration as long as it can hold down the lid 62 from the outside to prevent the lid 62 from separating from the receiving portion 65.

[0065] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the structure may be modified. In this example, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are connected to one end of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction and the other end of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction via a thin hinge portion 67, as in the above embodiment. The receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 in this example do not have the engagement recess 71 of the above embodiment. The suppressing member 81 in this example is a spring member that biases the other end of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction and the one end of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction in a direction that brings them closer together. The suppressing member 81 is made of metal. The suppressing member 81 is a spring member, and more specifically, a torsion coil spring. The suppressing member 81 has a coil portion 82 and arm portions 83 extending from both ends of the coil portion 82. The coil portion 82 is disposed at a position corresponding to the hinge portion 67, and the arm portions 83 are disposed along the outer circumferential surfaces of the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62, respectively. The tip portions of the arm portion 83 are engaged with the other circumferential end side of the receiving portion 65 and one circumferential end side of the lid 62. The suppressing member 81 biases the other circumferential end side of the receiving portion 65 and one circumferential end side of the lid 62 by the tip portions of the arm portion 83 in a direction that brings the other circumferential end side of the receiving portion 65 and the one circumferential end side of the lid 62 closer to each other.

[0066] Even in this manner, the first path regulating member 40 can be sandwiched between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 without rattling, thereby suppressing rattling between the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60. Furthermore, since the suppressing member 81 is a spring member that biases the other circumferential end side of the receiving portion 65 and the one circumferential end side of the lid 62 in a direction to approach each other, the biasing force of the spring member can effectively suppress the lid 62 from being separated from the receiving portion 65.

[0067] Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 may be modified. In this example, one end of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction and the other end of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction are connected via a hinge portion 85. In this example, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are separate bodies. The hinge portion 85 is configured by combining a hinge component 86 provided on the receiving portion 65 and a hinge component 87 provided on the lid 62. The lid 62 is rotatable about the hinge portion 85 with respect to the receiving portion 65. Note that the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 in this example are configured not to have the engagement recess 71 of the above embodiment. In this example, the suppressing member 88 is a spring member that biases the other end side of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction and the one end side of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction in a direction that brings them closer to each other. The suppressing member 88 is made of metal. The suppressing member 88 is a spring member, specifically, a C-shaped spring. The suppressing member 88 is disposed along the outer peripheral surfaces of the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62. Both ends of the suppressing member 88 are engaged with the other end side of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction and one end side of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction, respectively. The suppressing member 88 biases the other end side of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction and the one end side of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction by both ends of the suppressing member 81 in a direction to bring the other end side of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction and the one end side of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction closer to each other. In addition, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 have gripping pieces 89, 90 protruding from the vicinity of the hinge constituent parts 86, 87, respectively. The gripping pieces 89, 90 intersect. For example, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are relatively rotated and opened by the gripping pieces 89, 90 being gripped by an operator.

[0068] Even in this manner, the first path regulating member 40 can be sandwiched between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 without rattling, and rattling between the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 can be suppressed. In addition, since the suppression member 88 is a spring member that biases the other circumferential end side of the receiving portion 65 and the one circumferential end side of the lid 62 in a direction to approach each other, the biasing force of the spring member can effectively suppress the lid 62 from being separated from the receiving portion 65. In addition, since the suppression member 88 has the gripping pieces 89, 90, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 can be easily opened.

[0069] Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the structure may be modified. In this example, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 are connected to one end of the receiving portion 65 in the circumferential direction and the other end of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction via a thin hinge portion 67, as in the above embodiment. The receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 in this example do not have the engagement recess 71 of the above embodiment. The suppressing member 91 in this example is a cable tie that binds the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 while covering the entire circumferential direction of the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62. The suppressing member 91 is made of metal or resin. The suppressing member 91 in this example is made of resin. The suppressing member 91 has a flexible band-shaped portion 92 having flexibility and a locking portion 93 provided at an end of the band-shaped portion 92 in the length direction. The locking portion 93 restricts the movement of the band-shaped portion 92 in the removal direction, which is the opposite direction to the passing direction, when the band-shaped portion 92 is passed through, thereby locking the band-shaped portion 92. The restricting member 91 fastens the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 together by passing the band-shaped portion 92 through the locking portion 93 in a state in which the band-shaped portion 92 covers the entire circumferential direction of the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 .

[0070] Even in this manner, the first path regulating member 40 can be sandwiched between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 without rattling, and rattling between the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 can be suppressed. In addition, the suppression member 91 is a cable tie that fastens the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 while covering the entire circumferential direction of the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62, and therefore, with a simple configuration, it is possible to suppress the lid 62 from coming off the receiving portion 65.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 have the engagement recess 71 as an engagement portion that can engage with the suppression member 63 in the length direction of the second path regulating member 60, but this is not limited thereto, and for example, a configuration without an engagement portion may be used. Also, for example, the engagement recess 71 may be changed to an engagement rib as an engagement portion protruding from the outer circumferential surfaces of the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62.

[0072] In the above embodiment, only one suppression member 63 is provided, but this is not limited thereto. For example, two or more suppression members may be provided in the longitudinal direction of the covering portion 66.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the lid 62 has five protrusions 70, but this is not limited to this. For example, the number of protrusions 70 may be changed, or the lid 62 may not have any protrusions 70.

[0074] The second path regulating member 60 in the above embodiment is formed to regulate the path of the bent portion 11B of the wire harness main body 11, but is not limited thereto. For example, the second path regulating member 60 may be changed to a shape that regulates the path of the straight portion 11A of the wire harness main body 11. In this case, for example, the bent shape of the main body portion 64 of the second path regulating member 60 is changed to a shape that extends linearly.

[0075] In the above embodiment, the attachment member attached to the first path regulating member 40 is embodied as the second path regulating member 60, but is not limited thereto. For example, the attachment member may be embodied as a vehicle attachment member for attaching the first path regulating member 40 to the vehicle V.

[0076] The structure of the first path regulating member 40 in the above embodiment can be modified as appropriate. For example, as long as the first path regulating member 40 has an insertion opening 40X and has a structure that allows it to be attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30, other structures are not particularly limited.

[0077] The protrusion 45 of the above embodiment may be provided at a position farther from the insertion opening 40X than the tip of the first end 41 in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40. The protrusion 46 in the above embodiment may be provided at a position farther from the insertion opening 40X than the tip of the second end 42 in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40.

[0078] The protruding portions 45 and 46 in the above embodiment may be provided partially in the length direction of the first path regulating member 40 . At least one of the protruding portions 45, 46 in the above embodiment may be omitted.

[0079] In the first path control member 40 of the above embodiment, the radial thickness of the connecting portion 43 may be configured to vary in the circumferential direction. The shape of the connecting portion 43 of the first path regulating member 40 in the above embodiment is not limited to a circular arc shape, but may be changed to, for example, an elliptical arc shape or a U-shape.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 are harder than the exterior member 30, but the present invention is not limited to this and may have a hardness equal to or less than that of the exterior member 30. In other words, the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 may act to make the wire harness main body 11 less likely to bend than the wire harness main body 11 in a state in which the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 are not attached.

[0081] The exterior member 30 in the above embodiment may be, for example, a metal layer containing a metal material provided on the outer surface of a corrugated tube made of resin. The exterior member 30 in the above embodiment is not limited to a corrugated tube, and may be, for example, an exterior member that does not have the large diameter portion 31 and the small diameter portion 32.

[0082] The exterior member 30 in the above embodiment may have a slit extending in the length direction of the exterior member 30. In the above embodiment, the electric wire 21 is a high-voltage electric wire, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the electric wire 21 may be a low-voltage electric wire.

[0083] In the electric wire member 20 of the above embodiment, the electromagnetic shielding member is embodied as the braided member 25, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the electromagnetic shielding member in the electric wire member 20 may be embodied as a metal foil.

[0084] The braided member 25 in the electric wire member 20 of the above embodiment may be omitted. In the above embodiment, the electric wire member 20 includes two electric wires 21, but is not limited to this. The number of electric wires 21 may be one, or three or more.

[0085] The relative positions of the inverter M1 and the high-voltage battery M2 in the vehicle V are not limited to those in the above embodiment, and may be changed as appropriate depending on the vehicle configuration. In the above embodiment, the multiple on-board devices electrically connected to the wire harness 10 are embodied as the inverter M1 and the high-voltage battery M2, but are not limited thereto. The multiple on-board devices electrically connected to the wire harness 10 are not particularly limited as long as they are electrical devices mounted on the vehicle V.

[0086] The embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not by the above meaning, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.
