Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a fixing structure and a method for fixing an object to be fixed. [Background technology]

[0002] There is known a fixing structure that fixes cables, wiring, etc. to a fixed member by a harness clip or a cable tie. In Patent Document 1, the harness clip has a gripping part that holds the cable in an inserted state and both fastening parts extended from the gripping part, and the overlapped both fastening parts are fixed to the fixed member by one screw member. The fixed member in Patent Document 1 is, for example, the hood part of a range hood. In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a bundling and fixing structure that bundling and fixing a plurality of wires to the fixed member by a cable tie that passes through a first insertion part and a second insertion part formed on the fixed member. The fixed member in Patent Document 2 is a wall part of a housing. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5160960 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6299506 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In Patent Documents 1 and 2, a through hole must be provided in the fixed member in order to fix cables, wiring, etc. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the fixing structures of Patent Documents 1 and 2 to fixed members that require airtightness.

[0005] In addition, when the fixing structure of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 is used to fix a cable to a housing that houses an electrical device, a through hole must be formed in advance in the housing to prevent failure of the electrical device due to dust generated when forming the through hole. Therefore, it is difficult to change the fixing position of the cable, and multiple types of housings must be prepared in advance according to the electrical devices to be stored. Furthermore, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the screw member or cable tie that fixes the harness clip protrudes from the outer surface of the fixed member, so it is necessary to provide a space between the fixed member and other members, structures, etc.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has an object to provide a fixing structure and a fixing method for an object to be fixed, which can easily and stably fix an object to a member to be fixed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The fixing structure includes an adhesive and a sealing member. The adhesive bonds the fixing object to the fixed member. The sealing member is disposed between the adhesive and the adhesive portion of the fixing object bonded to the fixed member, and is bonded to the fixed member by the adhesive. The fixing device has a predetermined pattern or color on a surface opposite to the surface covering the adhesive portion and the adhesive of the fixing object. The pattern or color is detected by a detection device, and functions as an identification pattern or identification color that is identified as the fixing position of the fixing object when detected by the detection device. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present disclosure, since an object to be fixed is fixed to a member to be fixed using an adhesive and a sealing member, there is no need to form a through hole in the member to be fixed, and the object to be fixed can be easily and stably fixed to the member to be fixed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, a fixing structure according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] <Embodiment 1> A fixing structure 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 10. In this embodiment, the fixing structure 100 will be described using a control panel 10 as an example. A housing 12 of the control panel 10, which will be described later, is an example of a member to be fixed, and a cable 20, which will be described later, is an example of an object to be fixed.

[0012] 1, the control panel 10 houses electric equipment 18, electric components, etc. connected via cables 20 within a housing 12. Examples of the electric equipment 18 include a transformer, a switching power supply, etc. Examples of the electric components include an electromagnetic relay, a breaker, an inverter, etc.

[0013] The housing 12 of the control panel 10 is box-shaped and contains cables 20, electrical equipment 18, electrical components, etc. The opening of the housing 12 is opened and closed by an opening / closing door 13. Inside the housing 12, a shelf board 14 is provided between the inner side surface 12A and the inner side surface 12B of the housing 12. For example, electrical equipment 18 is placed on the shelf board 14. The housing 12, the opening / closing door 13, and the shelf board 14 are formed from iron plates, and the surfaces of the housing 12, the opening / closing door 13, and the shelf board 14 are covered with paint or plating.

[0014] 2, the cable 20 has a conductor 22 formed by twisting together a plurality of wires formed by stretching a metal, and a protective coating 24 that covers the outer periphery of the conductor 22 and electrically insulates the conductor 22. The protective coating 24 is made of an insulator.

[0015] The cable 20 electrically connects the electric devices 18, electric components, etc. housed in the housing 12 of the control panel 10. Both ends of the cable 20 are connected to the electric devices 18, electric components, etc. by connectors or soldering. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, the cable 20 is fixed to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 by a fixing structure 100. For ease of understanding, in Fig. 3, the direction in which the cable 20 extends is defined as the +X direction, the direction parallel to the inner side surface 12A and perpendicular to the X direction is defined as the +Y direction, and the direction perpendicular to the +X direction and the +Y direction is defined as the +Z direction.

[0016] 4, the fixing structure 100 includes an adhesive 30 that adheres the cable 20 to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12, and a seal member 40 that straddles the adhesive 30 and the adhesive portion 26 adhered to the inner side surface 12A of the cable 20. The seal member 40 is adhered to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 by the adhesive 30.

[0017] The adhesive 30 is, for example, a curing agent mixed type adhesive. The adhesive 30 bonds the cable 20 and the seal member 40 to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12.

[0018] The seal member 40 straddles the adhesive portion 26 of the cable 20 and the adhesive 30. The seal member 40 covers the adhesive 30 to protect it. The seal member 40 has a thin sheet shape and is made of a deformable resin. In order to protect the adhesive 30, the seal member 40 is preferably made of a resin that prevents the intrusion of moisture, ultraviolet rays, oxygen, and the like. The seal member 40 is made of, for example, a silicone resin.

[0019] In this embodiment, the fixing structure 100 adheres the cable 20 to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 with an adhesive 30, and fixes the cable 20 with the adhesive 30 and a seal member 40 that covers the adhesive 30. Therefore, there is no need to provide a through hole in the housing 12, and the airtightness of the housing 12 can be ensured. Also, since there is no member that protrudes outside the housing 12, there is no need to provide a space outside the housing 12 to avoid interference. Furthermore, the position where the cable 20 is fixed can be easily changed, and the number of types of housings 12 can be reduced. Furthermore, since the seal member 40 protects the adhesive 30, deterioration of the adhesive 30 can be suppressed.

[0020] A method for fixing the cables 20 will be described. In this embodiment, a case in which two cables 20 are fixed by one fixing structure 100 will be described.

[0021] First, a fixing jig 60 used in the method for fixing the cable 20 will be described. When fixing the cable 20 to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12, the fixing jig 60 is attached to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 via a seal member 40, as shown in Fig. 5. For ease of understanding, the description will be given assuming that the direction in which the cable 20 extends in Fig. 5 is the X direction, the direction perpendicular to the X direction within the plane of the inner side surface 12A is the Y direction, and the direction perpendicular to the X direction and the Y direction is the Z direction.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the fixing jig 60 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and has a groove 64 at a tip portion 62. The seal member 40 is attached to the tip portion 62 along the groove 64. As shown in Fig. 7, the groove 64 accommodates the number of cables 20 to be fixed. In this embodiment, the number of cables to be fixed is two. In order to easily attach the fixing jig 60 to the housing 12, the fixing jig 60 is formed from a magnet. Also, in this embodiment, an adhesive layer (not shown) is provided on the tip portion 62 to easily attach the seal member 40 to the tip portion 62.

[0023] 6, the length L1 in the X direction of the fixing jig 60 is shorter than the length L3 in the X direction of the sealing member 40. Furthermore, the length L2 in the Y direction of the fixing jig 60 is shorter than the length L4 in the Y direction of the sealing member 40 when the sealing member 40 is attached to the tip portion 62 along the groove portion 64. In other words, the sealing member 40 attached to the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60 protrudes from the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60.

[0024] 8 is a flowchart showing a method for fixing the cable 20. The method for fixing the cable 20 includes an application step (step S10) of applying adhesive 30 to at least one of the cable 20 and the fixing position on the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12, an arrangement step (step S20) of arranging the cable 20 at the fixing position on the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12, a seal member attachment step (step S30) of attaching the seal member 40 to the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60, a fixing jig attachment step (step S40) of attaching the fixing jig 60 to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 in a state in which the seal member 40 straddles the cable 20 and is attached to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 by the adhesive 30, and a removal step (step S50) of removing the fixing jig 60 from the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12.

[0025] First, the adhesive 30 and the seal member 40 are prepared. The adhesive 30 is, for example, a curing agent mixed type adhesive. The seal member 40 is a thin, deformable sheet-like member as shown in Fig. 9. The seal member 40 is made of, for example, a silicone resin.

[0026] 8, in the application step (step S10), adhesive 30 is applied to at least one of the fixed positions of cable 20 and the inner side surface 12A of housing 12. In this embodiment, adhesive 30 is applied to the portion of cable 20 that is fixed to the inner side surface 12A of housing 12, i.e., adhesive portion 26 of cable 20.

[0027] In the arrangement step (step S20), the two cables 20 coated with adhesive 30 are arranged at fixed positions on the inner side surface 12A. In this embodiment, the adhesive portions 26 of the cables 20 coated with adhesive 30 are arranged at fixed positions on the inner side surface 12A. As a result, the adhesive portions 26 of the cables 20 are attached to the fixed positions on the inner side surface 12A, as shown in FIG.

[0028] Returning to FIG. 8, in the seal member attachment step (step S30), the seal member 40 is attached to the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60 along the groove portion 64 of the tip portion 62. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the seal member 40 is attached to the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60 at a position protruding from the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60. In this embodiment, since an adhesive layer is provided on the tip portion 62, the seal member 40 can be easily attached to the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60. Furthermore, since the seal member 40 is attached to a position protruding from the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60, when the fixing jig 60 is attached to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 in the fixing jig attachment step (step S40), the adhesive 30 does not adhere to the fixing jig 60, and the fixing jig 60 can be quickly reused.

[0029] In the fixing jig attachment step (step S40), as shown in FIG. 5, the fixing jig 60 with the sealing member 40 attached to the tip 62 is attached to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12. In this case, the sealing member 40 spreads the adhesive 30, straddles the adhesive portion 26 of the cable 20, and is attached to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 by the adhesive 30. In this embodiment, the fixing jig 60 is formed from a magnet, and the housing 12 is formed from an iron plate, so that the tip 62 of the fixing jig 60 is attracted to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12, and the fixing jig 60 can be easily attached to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12. In addition, the fixing jig 60 can continue to hold the cable 20 at a fixed position on the inner side surface 12A while being close to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12. Therefore, the cable 20 can be easily and reliably fixed to the fixed position on the inner side surface 12A.

[0030] Returning to FIG. 8, in the removal process (step S50), after the adhesive 30 has hardened, the fixing jig 60 is removed from the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12. When the fixing jig 60 is removed from the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12, the sealing member 40 is adhered to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 by the hardened adhesive 30, so the sealing member 40 is peeled off from the fixing jig 60, and the fixing structure 100 is formed. Note that, if the fixing jig 60 is removed from the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 before the adhesive 30 hardens, the sealing member 40 remains at the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60. Therefore, when the fixing jig 60 is removed from the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12, it is also possible to determine whether the adhesive 30 has hardened or not depending on whether the sealing member 40 remains on the fixing jig 60 or on the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12. In this manner, the two cables 20 can be fixed to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12.

[0031] As described above, the fixing structure 100 adheres the cable 20 to the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12 with the adhesive 30, and fixes the cable 20 with the adhesive 30 and the sealing member 40 that covers the adhesive 30, so there is no need to provide a through hole in the housing 12, and the fixing structure 100 can easily and stably fix the cable 20 to the housing 12. In addition, the method of fixing the cable 20 is to attach the sealing member 40 using the fixing jig 60, so that the cable 20 can be easily and reliably fixed to the fixing position on the inner side surface 12A.

[0032] <Embodiment 2> In the first embodiment, the housing 12 of the control panel 10 is an example of a member to be fixed, and the cable 20 is an example of an object to be fixed. The member to be fixed is not limited to the housing 12 of the control panel 10. Furthermore, the object to be fixed is not limited to the cable 20. For example, the member to be fixed may be a cast iron housing having an uneven surface. Furthermore, the object to be fixed may be a measuring unit that is attached to the member to be fixed and measures a physical quantity. In this embodiment, the fixing structure 110 of this embodiment will be described using the housing 72 of the rotating electric machine 70 as an example of a member to be fixed, and the temperature measuring unit 82 of the thermocouple 80 as an example of an object to be fixed.

[0033] The rotating electric machine 70 is, for example, an electric motor. The rotating electric machine 70 has a housing 72 as an exterior. The housing 72 is formed from iron by forging. The rotating electric machine 70 is an example of an electric machine. Other examples of electric machines include consumer electric appliances, communication machines, electric measuring instruments, and the like.

[0034] The thermocouple 80 is used to measure the temperature of the rotating electric machine 70. As shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the temperature measuring unit 82 of the thermocouple 80 is fixed to the housing 72 of the rotating electric machine 70 by a fixing structure 110. The thermocouple 80 is connected to a temperature measuring instrument (not shown) via a compensation conductor 84. The thermocouple 80 is made of platinum, a platinum-rhodium alloy, or the like. For ease of understanding, the following description will be given assuming that the direction in which the thermocouple 80 extends at the fixed position of the temperature measuring unit 82 in Fig. 11 is the +X direction, the direction perpendicular to the housing 72 and toward the outside of the housing 72 is the +Z direction, and the direction perpendicular to the +X direction and the +Z direction is the +Y direction. The temperature measuring unit 82 of the thermocouple 80 is an example of a measuring unit that is attached to a fixed member and measures a physical quantity. Another example of a measuring unit that is attached to a fixed member and measures a physical quantity is a magnetic sensor.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 12, the fixing structure 110 of this embodiment includes an adhesive 30 that bonds the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 to the housing 72, and a seal member 40 that straddles the temperature measuring portion 82 and the adhesive 30. The seal member 40 is bonded to the housing 72 by the adhesive 30. The adhesive 30 is, for example, a curing agent mixed type adhesive, as in the first embodiment. The seal member 40 is formed, for example, from a silicone resin, as in the first embodiment. The seal member 40 covers the adhesive 30 to protect it. In this embodiment, the entire temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 corresponds to the adhesive portion of the fixed object.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the fixing structure 110 also adheres the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 to the housing 72 with the adhesive 30, and fixes the cable 20 with the adhesive 30 and the sealing member 40. Since the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 is adhered with the adhesive 30, the fixing structure 110 can closely adhere the temperature measuring portion 82 even to a housing 72 having an uneven surface. Furthermore, with the fixing structure 110, there is no need to provide a through hole in the housing 72, and further, the position where the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 is fixed can be easily changed. Furthermore, since the sealing member 40 protects the adhesive 30, deterioration of the adhesive 30 can be suppressed.

[0037] The method for fixing the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 is similar to the method for fixing the cable 20 in embodiment 1. Here, a fixing jig 60A used in the method for fixing the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 will be described.

[0038] As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the fixing jig 60A has a groove 64A for accommodating the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 at a tip portion 62A having a curved surface that fits along the surface of the housing 72. The seal member 40 is attached to the tip portion 62A along the groove 64A, similar to the fixing jig 60 of the first embodiment. The groove 64A of the fixing jig 60A opens at the side surface on the +X side to which the thermocouple 80 extends, as shown in Figure 14. As with the fixing jig 60 of the first embodiment, the fixing jig 60A is formed from a magnet, and an adhesive layer (not shown) is provided at the tip portion 62A.

[0039] In this embodiment, the tip 62A has a curved surface that fits along the surface of the housing 72, and the groove 64A that houses the temperature measuring unit 82 opens on the side surface on the +X side along which the thermocouple 80 extends, so that when the fixing jig 60A is attached to the housing 72 in the fixing jig attachment step (step S40), the fixing jig 60A does not swing. Therefore, the fixing jig 60A continues to hold the temperature measuring unit 82 at a fixed position on the housing 72 while being close to the housing 72, and the temperature measuring unit 82 can be easily and reliably bonded with the adhesive 30.

[0040] As described above, the fixing structure 110 adheres the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 to the housing 72 with the adhesive 30, and fixes the cable 20 with the adhesive 30 and the seal member 40 that covers the adhesive 30. Therefore, there is no need to provide a through hole in the housing 72, and the fixing structure 110 can easily and stably fix the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 to the housing 72. In addition, the fixing jig 60A can easily and reliably adhere the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80 with the adhesive 30.

[0041] <Modification> Although a number of embodiments have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.

[0042] The seal member 40 preferably blocks at least one of the following substances that deteriorate the adhesive 30 : moisture, ultraviolet light, and oxygen, as well as gas, liquid, and light from entering or entering the adhesive 30 .

[0043] The seal member 40 may have an adhesive layer on the surface that is attached to the tip portions 62, 62A of the fixing jigs 60, 60A. In this case, it is not necessary to provide an adhesive layer on the tip portions 62, 62A of the fixing jigs 60, 60A.

[0044] Although the sealing member 40 in the first and second embodiments is made of a deformable resin, the sealing member 40 may be made of a thin and flexible iron plate. The sealing member 40 made of a thin and flexible iron plate is attracted to the fixing jigs 60 and 60A made of a magnet, so that the adhesive layer of the fixing jigs 60 and 60A can be removed.

[0045] 15, the sealing member 40 may have a preset graphic 42 on a surface 40a opposite to the surface covering the adhesive 30 and the bonded portion 26 of the cable 20 or the temperature measuring portion 82 of the thermocouple 80. The graphic 42 functions as an identification graphic that can be identified by a detection device such as an imaging device or a 3D scanner. By identifying the graphic 42 with the detection device and determining the fixing position of the cable 20 or the temperature measuring portion 82, the fixing position can be compiled into a database, and further, it is possible to easily inspect the fixing state, match a simulation with the actual product, and the like.

[0046] The graphic 42 is not limited to the cross shown in Fig. 15, and may be a two-dimensional barcode, a QR (Quick Response) code, or the like. The seal member 40 may have a preset color on the surface 40a. The preset color functions as an identification color that is identified by a detection device, similar to the graphic 42. An example of the preset color is a fluorescent color.

[0047] The adhesive 30 is not limited to a curing agent mixed type adhesive, but may be, for example, a heat curing type adhesive.

[0048] Although the fixing jig 60 of the first embodiment and the fixing jig 60A of the second embodiment are formed from magnets, the material forming the fixing jig 60, 60A is not limited to magnets. For example, the fixing jig 60 may include a body portion 66 formed from resin and a plate-shaped magnet 68 embedded in the body portion 66, as shown in Figs. 16 and 17. The body portion 66 is formed from, for example, a fluororesin having low affinity for the adhesive 30. By forming the body portion 66 from a resin having low affinity for the adhesive 30, adhesion of the adhesive 30 to the fixing jig 60 is suppressed. Therefore, it is not necessary to set the size of the fixing jig 60 to a size that causes the seal member 40 attached to the tip portion 62 to protrude. Furthermore, when the seal member 40 is attached to the tip portion 62 of the fixing jig 60, the positioning accuracy of the seal member 40 can be relaxed.

[0049] The object to be fixed is not limited to the cable 20 and the temperature measuring unit 82 of the thermocouple 80, but may be wiring, a cord, various sensors, etc. The member to be fixed is not limited to the housing 12 of the control panel 10 and the housing 72 of the rotating electric machine 70, but may be a housing of an electric machine, an electronic device, an electronic component, a machine tool, etc.

[0050] In the application step (step S10) in the fixing method of the first embodiment, the adhesive 30 is applied to the bonding portion 26 of the cable 20, but the adhesive 30 may be applied to the fixing position of the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12. Also, the adhesive 30 may be applied to the bonding portion 26 of the cable 20 and the fixing position of the inner side surface 12A of the housing 12.

[0051] In the fixing method of the first embodiment, the arrangement step (step S20) is performed after the application step (step S10), but the application step (step S10) may be performed after the arrangement step (step S20). For example, the adhesive 30 may be applied to the adhesive portion 26 of the cable 20 after the adhesive portion 26 of the cable 20 is arranged at the fixing position on the inner side surface 12A.
