Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a clip for attaching a wire harness. [Background technology]
[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a clip for fixing a wire harness to a vehicle body. The clip includes a band portion for fastening the wire harness and a locking portion fixed to the band portion. The locking portion includes linearly extending legs, a clamping flange provided at the base of the legs, and a pair of elastic locking claws tapered so as to gradually widen from the tip of the legs toward the base.
[0003] The clip is attached by inserting the engagement portion into the attachment opening of the protector. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-133872 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, in the case of the clip described in Patent Document 1, in order to restrain the wire harness at two points, two clips or a path regulating member separate from the clips are required, which causes a problem of an increase in the number of parts.
[0006] In addition, in order to change the restraining state of the wire harness according to the thickness and wiring path of the wire harness, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of types of clips having band portions with different widths. For these reasons, there is a demand for an improvement in the restraining performance of the wire harness. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] A wire harness attachment clip that solves the above problem is a clip for attaching a wire harness to an attachment target, and includes a clip body and a cable tie that binds a first part of the wire harness, and the clip body has a base portion having an insertion hole through which the cable tie is inserted, a tongue portion extending from the base portion at least in the width direction of the insertion hole and being wrapped with tape together with a second part of the wire harness to regulate the path of the wire harness, and a fixing portion protruding from the base portion in a direction intersecting both the insertion direction of the insertion hole and the width direction, and being inserted into the attachment target and fixed.
[0008] According to the above configuration, the first portion of the wire harness is tied to the clip body by the cable tie inserted through the insertion hole of the base portion. The second portion of the wire harness is wrapped with tape together with the tongue portion while being arranged along the tongue portion. Then, the wire harness restrained at the above two points can be attached to the attachment object by inserting the fixing portion into the attachment object.
[0009] Here, since the cable tie is configured as a separate body from the clip body, a plurality of types of cable ties with different widths can be inserted into the insertion hole, and thus the restraining state of the first portion of the wire harness can be adjusted by selecting the cable tie according to the thickness of the wire harness and the wiring route.
[0010] In addition, the position where the tape is wrapped in the extending direction of the tongue portion can be changed to adjust the restraining state of the second portion of the wire harness. Therefore, the wire harness attachment clip can improve the restraining performance of the wire harness without increasing the number of parts.
[0011] In the above-mentioned wire harness mounting clip, the inner surface of the insertion hole has a first opposing surface and a second opposing surface that respectively face the inner and outer surfaces of the cable tie, and a pair of inner sides located between the first opposing surface and the second opposing surface, and it is preferable that a protrusion is provided on at least one of the first opposing surface and the second opposing surface, and that the protrusion is positioned so that a gap is formed between at least one of the pair of inner sides.
[0012] According to the above configuration, for example, when a cable tie having a width smaller than the distance between the inner surface and the protrusion in the width direction of the insertion hole is placed between the inner surface and the protrusion, the movement of the cable tie in the width direction is restricted by the inner surface and the protrusion. This makes it possible to suppress the cable tie from shifting while increasing the width of the insertion hole. Therefore, the first portion of the wire harness can be appropriately restrained.
[0013] In the above wire harness attaching clip, the protrusion is preferably provided on the first opposing surface. According to the above configuration, a protrusion is provided on the first opposing surface of the insertion hole. Since the first opposing surface is fastened by the cable tie, it becomes even more difficult for the cable tie to get over the protrusion. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately prevent the cable tie from shifting out of position.
[0014] In the above-mentioned wire harness mounting clip, it is preferable that the protrusion is provided in the center of the first opposing surface in the width direction, and the width of the cable tie is smaller than the distance between the inner surface and the protrusion in the width direction.
[0015] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the cable tie can be disposed on either one side or the other side of the protrusion in the width direction of the insertion hole, so that the restraining state of the wire harness can be adjusted according to the position of the cable tie.
[0016] In the above-mentioned wire harness attaching clip, it is preferable that the tongue portion is inclined with respect to the width direction. The degree to which the wire harness bends changes depending on where the clip is attached.
[0017] In this regard, according to the above-mentioned configuration, the tongue portion is inclined with respect to the base portion, and thus, by adjusting the inclination angle of the tongue portion, it is possible to realize the restriction of the path of the wire harness in accordance with the bending state of the wire harness.
[0018] In the above-mentioned wire harness attachment clip, it is preferable that a restricting protrusion is provided on a surface of the tongue portion opposite to the surface facing the wire harness, for restricting movement of the tape in the extending direction of the tongue portion.
[0019] According to the above configuration, the movement of the tape in the extending direction of the tongue portion is restricted, so that the second portion of the wire harness can be appropriately restrained. In the above-mentioned wire harness attaching clip, it is preferable that the restricting projections are provided at intervals from each other in the extending direction of the tongue portion.
[0020] According to the above configuration, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in the manner in which the second portion of the wire harness is restrained, while restricting the movement of the tape. A wire harness attachment clip that solves the above problem is a clip for attaching a wire harness to an attachment target, and includes a base portion having an insertion hole through which a cable tie that binds a first part of the wire harness is inserted, a tongue portion that extends from the base portion at least in the width direction of the insertion hole and is wrapped with tape together with a second part of the wire harness to regulate the path of the wire harness, and a fixing portion that protrudes from the base portion in a direction intersecting both the insertion direction and the width direction of the insertion hole, and is inserted into the attachment target and fixed.
[0021] According to the above configuration, the first portion of the wire harness is tied to the base portion by a cable tie inserted into the insertion hole of the base portion. Also, the second portion of the wire harness is wrapped with tape together with the tongue portion while being arranged along the tongue portion. Then, by inserting the fixing portion into the attachment target, the wire harness restrained at the above two points can be attached to the attachment target.
[0022] Here, since the cable tie is configured as a separate body from the clip, a plurality of types of cable ties with different widths can be inserted into the insertion hole, and thus the restraining state of the first portion of the wire harness can be adjusted by selecting the cable tie according to the thickness of the wire harness and the wiring route.
[0023] In addition, the position where the tape is wrapped in the extending direction of the tongue portion can be changed to adjust the restraining state of the second portion of the wire harness. Therefore, the wire harness attachment clip can improve the restraining performance of the wire harness without increasing the number of parts. Effect of the Invention
[0024] According to the present invention, the restraining performance of the wire harness can be improved without increasing the number of parts. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0025] [Figure 1] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the wire harness is restrained by a clip. [Diagram 2] FIG. [Diagram 3] 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the vicinity of an insertion hole of the clip. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0026] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a wire harness attachment clip will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. In the following, the wire harness attachment clip will be referred to as a clip.
[0027] <Clip composition> 1, the clip 10 attaches a wire harness Wh to a vehicle body 100. The vehicle body 100 is an example of an object to which the wire harness Wh is attached. The clip 10 includes a clip body 20 and a cable tie 30.
[0028] <Clip body configuration> As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the clip body 20 has a base portion 40, a fixing portion 50, and a tongue portion 60. The base portion 40 is shaped like a long plate. The direction in which the long edge of the base portion 40 extends is the long side direction A. The direction in which the short edge of the base portion 40 extends is the short side direction B. The thickness direction of the base portion 40 is C. The long side direction A and the short side direction B are perpendicular to each other. The long side direction A and the thickness direction C are perpendicular to each other. The short side direction B and the thickness direction C are perpendicular to each other. The thickness direction C intersects with both the long side direction A and the short side direction B.
[0029] The base portion 40 has a first surface 40a and a second surface 40b. The second surface 40b is located on the opposite side to the first surface 40a in the thickness direction C of the base portion 40. The base portion 40 has a pair of side surfaces 40c. The pair of side surfaces 40c are surfaces located at both ends of the short side direction B of the base portion 40.
[0030] The base portion 40 has an insertion hole 41. The insertion hole 41 penetrates the base portion 40 in a short side direction B. The short side direction B is an example of an insertion direction of the insertion hole 41. When the side surface 40c is viewed from the front, the insertion hole 41 is an elongated hole whose long side extends in a long side direction A. The dimension of the insertion hole 41 in the long side direction A is longer than the dimension of the insertion hole 41 in a thickness direction C. The long side direction A is an example of a width direction of the insertion hole 41.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the fixing part 50 is provided on the second surface 40b of the base part 40. The fixing part 50 has a leg part 51 and a pair of elastic locking claws 52. The leg part 51 protrudes linearly from the second surface 40b. The pair of elastic locking claws 52 are provided at the tip of the leg part 51. The pair of elastic locking claws 52 are tapered so as to gradually widen toward the base of the leg part 51. The fixing part 50 protrudes from the base part 40. The fixing part 50 is inserted into a locking hole 101 provided in the vehicle body 100. When the fixing part 50 is inserted into the locking hole 101, the pair of elastic locking claws 52 are elastically deformed so as to approach each other due to the inner circumferential surface of the locking hole 101. When the pair of elastic locking claws 52 pass through the locking hole 101, they are elastically deformed so as to move away from each other. Then, the tips of the pair of elastic locking claws 52 are positioned outside the locking hole 101. In the thickness direction C, the vehicle body 100 is sandwiched between the tips of the pair of elastic locking claws 52 and the second surface 40b of the base portion 40. The fixing portion 50 is inserted into and fixed to the vehicle body 100. When the fixing portion 50 is fixed to the vehicle body 100, the first surface 40a of the base portion 40 faces upward. When the fixing portion 50 is fixed to the vehicle body 100, the second surface 40b of the base portion 40 faces downward.
[0032] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the tongue portion 60 is in the shape of a long plate. The tongue portion 60 is integral with the base portion 40. The tongue portion 60 is inclined in the long side direction A so that the further it is from the base portion 40, the more it approaches the protruding direction of the fixed portion 50. The tongue portion 60 is inclined with respect to the long side direction A. The tongue portion 60 extends from the base portion 40 at least in the long side direction A. The long edge of the tongue portion 60 extends in the long side direction A in a direction away from the base portion 40. The direction in which the short edge of the tongue portion 60 extends coincides with the short side direction B. The direction in which the tongue portion 60 extends from the base portion 40 is defined as the extension direction D of the tongue portion 60. The extension direction D and the long side direction A intersect.
[0033] The tongue portion 60 has a first surface 60a and a second surface 60b. The first surface 60a is continuous with the first surface 40a of the base portion 40. The second surface 60b is located on the opposite side to the first surface 60a in the thickness direction of the tongue portion 60. The second surface 60b is continuous with the second surface 40b of the base portion 40.
[0034] <Base section configuration> The configuration of the base portion 40 will now be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 41 has a first inner surface 41a, a second inner surface 41b, and a pair of inner side surfaces 41c. The first inner surface 41a and the second inner surface 41b face each other in the thickness direction C. The first inner surface 41a is located higher than the second inner surface 41b in the thickness direction C. The first inner surface 41a and the second inner surface 41b are parallel to each other. The pair of inner side surfaces 41c are located between the first inner surface 41a and the second inner surface 41b in the thickness direction C. The pair of inner side surfaces 41c connect the first inner surface 41a and the second inner surface 41b. The pair of inner side surfaces 41c are parallel to each other.
[0035] The base portion 40 has a protrusion 42. The protrusion 42 is provided on the first inner surface 41a. The protrusion 42 protrudes from the first inner surface 41a toward the second inner surface 41b. The tip of the protrusion 42 does not contact the second inner surface 41b. The protrusion 42 is provided in the center of the first inner surface 41a in the long side direction A. A gap S1 is formed between one of the pair of inner surfaces 41c and the protrusion 42, and a gap S2 is formed between the other of the pair of inner surfaces 41c and the protrusion 42. The protrusion 42 is arranged such that gaps S1 and S2 are formed between the pair of inner surfaces 41c.
[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the protrusion 42 is provided over the entire length in the short side direction B of the first inner surface 41a. 3, the distance between one of the pair of inner sides 41c and the protrusion 42 is defined as L1. The distance between the other of the pair of inner sides 41c and the protrusion 42 is defined as L2. The distance L1 is smaller than the distance L2. Note that the distance L1 may be the same as the distance L2, or may be larger than the distance L2.
[0037] <Tongue section configuration> The configuration of the tongue portion 60 will be described in further detail below. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the tongue portion 60 has two restricting protrusions 61. The two restricting protrusions 61 are provided on the second surface 60b of the tongue portion 60. The two restricting protrusions 61 protrude from the second surface 60b. The two restricting protrusions 61 protrude in a direction perpendicular to the second surface 60b. The two restricting protrusions 61 extend over the entire length of the second surface 60b in the short side direction B. The two restricting protrusions 61 are arranged at intervals from each other in the extension direction D. One of the two restricting protrusions 61 is arranged at a predetermined distance from the base portion 40. The remaining one of the two restricting protrusions 61 is arranged at a predetermined interval from the tip of the tongue portion 60 in the extension direction D. In other words, the two restricting protrusions 61 are arranged so as to divide the second surface 60b into three regions in the extension direction D. The divided regions are, for example, a first region R1, a second region R2, and a third region R3. The first region R1 is located between one of the two regulating protrusions 61 and the base portion 40. The second region R2 is located between the two regulating protrusions 61. The third region R3 is located between the remaining one of the two regulating protrusions 61 and the tip of the tongue portion 60. The first region R1, the second region R2, and the third region R3 are arranged in this order in the extension direction D.
[0038] <Cable tie configuration> The configuration of the binding band 30 will be described below. As shown in Fig. 1, the cable tie 30 has a band portion 31 and a base end portion 32. The band portion 31 is in the form of a flexible string and a long plate. The cable tie 30 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin. The direction in which the long edge of the band portion 31 extends is defined as a bending direction E. The direction perpendicular to both the bending direction E and the thickness direction of the band portion 31 is defined as a width direction F of the band portion 31.
[0039] The band portion 31 has a first surface 31a and a second surface 31b. A plurality of long grooves 31c extending in the width direction F are formed on the first surface 31a. The plurality of long grooves 31c are arranged adjacent to each other in the bending direction E. A plurality of long teeth 31d are formed on the first surface 31a by forming the plurality of long grooves 31c. The plurality of long teeth 31d extend over the entire length of the first surface 31a in the width direction F. The second surface 31b is a flat surface.
[0040] The base end 32 is fixed to the base end 32 at the base end in the bending direction E of the band portion 31. The base end 32 has an insertion hole 33 through which the tip of the band portion 31 in the bending direction E is inserted. Inside the insertion hole 33, a restricting structure (not shown) that engages with the long groove 31c and long tooth 31d of the band portion 31 is provided. The long groove 31c, the long tooth 31d, and the restricting structure engage with each other, so that the band portion 31 is allowed to enter the insertion hole 33 but cannot be removed from the insertion hole 33. When the band portion 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 33, the band portion 31 becomes annular. When the band portion 31 is annular, the first surface 31a becomes the outer peripheral surface of the cable tie 30, and the second surface 31b becomes the inner peripheral surface of the cable tie 30.
[0041] The width W of the band portion 31 in the width direction F shown in Figs. 2 and 3 is smaller than the distance L1. <Wire harness restraint mode> With a portion of the wire harness Wh in contact with the first surface 40a of the base portion 40, the cable tie 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 41. The band portion 31 is inserted into the gap S1 of the insertion hole 41. The second surface 31b of the annular band portion 31 is pressed against the surface of the wire harness Wh. The second surface 31b of the annular band portion 31 is pressed against the first inner surface 41a. Thus, a portion of the wire harness Wh is tied to the base portion 40 by the cable tie 30. The first inner surface 41a is an example of a first opposing surface that faces the second surface 31b of the cable tie 30. The second inner surface 41b is an example of a second opposing surface that faces the first surface 31a of the cable tie 30.
[0042] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, another portion of the wire harness Wh is fixed to the tongue portion 60 by the tape 70. The tape 70 passes between the two regulating protrusions 61 in the extending direction D. The tape 70 is wound in the second region R2 together with a portion of the wire harness Wh. The two regulating protrusions 61 regulate the movement of the tape 70 in the extending direction D. The tongue portion 60 regulates the path of the wire harness Wh by being wound by the tape 70 together with the second portion Wh2.
[0043] The wire harness Wh is formed with a first portion Wh1 and a second portion Wh2. The first portion Wh1 is a portion of the wire harness Wh located on the first surface 40a of the base portion 40. The cable tie 30 binds the first portion Wh1 of the wire harness Wh. The second portion Wh2 is a portion of the wire harness Wh located on the first surface 60a of the tongue portion 60. The first surface 60a is a surface facing the wire harness in the claims.
[0044] <Action of this embodiment> The first portion Wh1 of the wire harness Wh is tied to the clip body 20 by the cable tie 30 inserted into the insertion hole 41 of the base portion 40. The second portion Wh2 of the wire harness Wh is wrapped with the tape 70 together with the tongue portion 60 in a state where it is arranged along the tongue portion 60. Then, the fixing portion 50 is inserted into the vehicle body 100, whereby the wire harness Wh in the state where it is restrained at the above two points is attached to the vehicle body 100.
[0045] Since the cable tie 30 is configured as a separate body from the clip body 20, a plurality of types of cable tie 30 having different widths W can be inserted into the insertion hole 41. As a result, by selecting the cable tie 30 according to the thickness and wiring route of the wire harness Wh, the restraining state of the first portion Wh1 of the wire harness Wh can be adjusted.
[0046] For example, assume that the cable tie 30 is disposed in the gap S2 as shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 2. When the first portion Wh1 is bent starting from the cable tie 30, the first portion Wh1 may be bent sharply. In this case, stress is concentrated more than necessary on the first portion Wh1, so that the bending of the first portion Wh1 is alleviated by inserting the cable tie 30 into the gap S1 described in this embodiment. That is, the restraining state of the first portion Wh1 of the wire harness Wh is adjusted.
[0047] Moreover, by changing the position where the tongue portion 60 is wrapped with the tape 70 in the extending direction D, the restraining manner of the second portion Wh2 of the wire harness Wh can be adjusted. For example, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, assume that the third region R3 is wrapped with the tape 70 together with the second portion Wh2. When the distance between the cable tie 30 and the tape 70 is long, the second portion Wh2 is easily separated from the tongue portion 60. Then, the tongue portion 60 loosens the restriction of the path of the second portion Wh2. In this case, by providing the tape 70 at the position described in the present embodiment, the second portion Wh2 is easily maintained along the tongue portion 60. Also, the first region R1 may be wrapped with the tape 70 together with the second portion Wh2. In this way, the bending degree of the second portion Wh2 extending in the extension direction D from the tape 70 is mitigated, so that the second portion Wh2 is less likely to be subjected to excessive stress. That is, the position where the tape 70 is wrapped can be appropriately changed according to the wiring path of the wire harness Wh when the second portion Wh2 is restrained by the tape 70. That is, the restraining mode of the second portion Wh2 of the wire harness Wh is adjusted.
[0048] Not limited to the above assumptions, the positions of the binding band 30 and the tape 70 are adjusted according to the needs of the restraining state of the wire harness Wh when the wire harness Wh is attached to the vehicle body 100.
[0049] <Effects of this embodiment> The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) One clip 10 can restrain the wire harness Wh at two locations. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which one clip restrains only one location of the wire harness Wh, the number of clips for restraining the wire harness Wh can be reduced. In addition, the positions of the cable tie 30 and the tape 70 can be adjusted according to the needs for the restraining mode of the wire harness Wh. Therefore, the restraining performance of the wire harness Wh can be improved without increasing the number of parts.
[0050] (2) When using multiple types of cable ties 30 with different widths W, it is necessary to increase the width of insertion hole 41. For example, when cable ties 30 with width W smaller than distance L1 are disposed between inner surface 41c and protrusion 42, there is a risk that cable ties 30 will be significantly misaligned in long side direction A if protrusion 42 is not provided.
[0051] In this regard, by providing the protrusion 42 on the first inner surface 41a, when the cable tie 30 having a width W smaller than the distance L1 is disposed between the inner surface 41c and the protrusion 42, the movement of the cable tie 30 in the long side direction A is restricted by the inner surface 41c and the protrusion 42. This makes it possible to suppress misalignment of the cable tie 30 while increasing the width of the insertion hole 41. Therefore, the first portion Wh1 of the wire harness Wh can be appropriately restrained.
[0052] (3) The first inner surface 41a is provided with the protrusions 42. Since the first inner surface 41a is fastened by the cable tie 30, it becomes even more difficult for the cable tie 30 to get over the protrusions 42. Therefore, the positional displacement of the cable tie 30 can be appropriately restricted.
[0053] (4) The width W of the cable tie 30 is smaller than the distances L1 and L2. Therefore, the cable tie 30 can be disposed on either side of the protrusion 42 in the long side direction A. This makes it possible to adjust the restraint state of the wire harness Wh according to the position of the cable tie 30.
[0054] (5) The degree of bending of the wire harness Wh changes depending on the attachment position of the clip 10. In the present embodiment, the tongue portion 60 is inclined with respect to the long side direction A. Thus, by adjusting the inclination angle of the tongue portion 60, it is possible to realize the restriction of the path of the wire harness Wh that is suited to the degree of bending of the wire harness Wh.
[0055] (6) The two regulating protrusions 61 are provided with a gap between them in the extending direction D. Therefore, each regulating protrusion 61 can increase the degree of freedom in the manner in which the second portion Wh2 of the wire harness Wh is restrained while restricting the movement of the tape 70 in the extending direction D.
[0056] <Example of change> This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that no technical contradiction occurs.
[0057] The clip 10 may be composed of only the clip body 20. The cable tie 30 can be replaced with a commercially available cable tie. In other words, the cable tie 30 does not need to be a cable tie dedicated to the clip 10 of this embodiment, but may be a general-purpose cable tie. Even with such a modification, the same effect as this embodiment can be achieved.
[0058] Only one regulating protrusion 61 may be used, or three or more may be used. The more regulating protrusions 61 there are, the more precise the adjustment of the position of the tape 70 can be performed. However, it is preferable to determine the number of regulating protrusions 61 in consideration of the ease of winding the tape 70.
[0059] The restricting protrusion 61 may be provided on the first surface 60 a of the tongue portion 60 . The restricting protrusion 61 may be omitted. The tongue portion 60 does not have to be inclined with respect to the long side direction A. The tongue portion 60 may extend only in the long side direction A. In other words, the tongue portion 60 may extend in the same direction as the base portion 40.
[0060] Two or more protrusions 42 may be used. The more protrusions 42 there are, the more precisely the position of the cable tie 30 can be adjusted. The number of protrusions 42 may be changed as appropriate depending on the type of cable tie 30 used.
[0061] Although the protrusion 42 extends over the entire length of the first inner surface 41a in the short side direction B, the dimension in the short side direction B may be changed as appropriate. The distance between the tip of the protrusion 42 and the second inner surface 41b may be greater than the thickness of the band portion 31. By changing it in this way, for example, when a cable tie 30 having a width W greater than the distance L2 is used, the cable tie 30 can be inserted between the tip of the protrusion 42 and the second inner surface 41b. This increases the number of types of cable tie 30 that can be applied to the clip 10. This increases the variety of adjustments for the restraint mode of the wire harness Wh.
[0062] The protrusion 42 does not have to be provided in the center of the first inner surface 41a in the long side direction A. For example, the protrusion 42 may be provided integrally with one of the pair of inner surfaces 41c. In other words, one of the gaps S1, S2 may be omitted.
[0063] The protrusion 42 may be provided in the center of the second inner surface 41b in the long side direction A. In such a case, the height of the protrusion 42 from the second inner surface 41b should be large enough to restrict the movement of the band portion 31.
