[0003] Some protectors include a protector body, a cover member, and a locking mechanism. The protector body has a storage space that stores multiple wiring materials, and an opening / closing opening that connects the storage space to the outside. The cover member is provided on the protector body and opens and closes the opening. The locking mechanism locks the cover member to the protector body (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-19424 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the above-mentioned protector, even if the multiple wiring materials are stored in the storage space in a normal arrangement or in an irregular arrangement, the locking mechanism can lock the cover member to the protector body. Therefore, there was a risk that a protector with multiple wiring materials stored in the storage space in an irregular arrangement would be shipped.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a protector that does not allow the cover member to be engaged with the protector body when multiple routing materials are stored in the storage space in an irregular arrangement. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the protector according to the present invention comprises a protector body having an accommodation space for accommodating a first wiring material and a second wiring material having a diameter larger than that of the first wiring material, and an opening / closing opening that connects the accommodation space to the outside, a cover member provided on the protector body for opening and closing the opening, and a locking mechanism for locking the cover member to the protector body, the cover member having a ceiling portion that faces a bottom portion of the protector body in a closed state in which the accommodation space of the protector body is closed, and a locking mechanism that faces the bottom side in the closed state. The locking mechanism has a protruding portion that protrudes from the bottom, and when the protruding portion is accommodated in the storage space in an irregular arrangement in which the peripheral surface of the first wiring material contacts the bottom and the peripheral surface of the second wiring material contacts the peripheral surface of the first wiring material, the peripheral surface of the second wiring material contacts the protruding portion as the locking mechanism transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state, whereas when the protruding portion is accommodated in the storage space in a regular arrangement in which the peripheral surface of the second wiring material contacts the bottom and the peripheral surface of the second wiring material contacts the peripheral surface of the first wiring material, the locking mechanism transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state. Effect of the Invention

[0008] Because the protector of this embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to provide a protector in which the cover member cannot be engaged with the protector body when multiple routing materials are stored in the storage space in an irregular arrangement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a protector according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. In addition, the components in the following embodiments include those that can be easily imagined by a person skilled in the art or those that are substantially the same.

[0011] [Embodiment] Fig. 1 is a plan view of the protector 1 according to this embodiment. Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the protector 1 according to this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a state in which the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are properly arranged and accommodated in the accommodation space 2s. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a state in which the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are improperly arranged and accommodated in the accommodation space 2s.

[0012] In the following description, Y is the opposing direction in which a pair of main body side walls 22a, 22b in the protector main body 2 oppose each other in the protector 1 according to this embodiment. Moreover, Z is an orthogonal direction perpendicular to the opposing direction Y in the protector 1 according to this embodiment. Moreover, the orthogonal direction Z is the attachment / detachment direction of the cover member 3 to the protector main body 2. More specifically, one direction Z1 of the orthogonal directions Z is the assembly direction in which the cover member 3 is assembled to the protector main body 2, and the other direction Z2 of the orthogonal directions Z is the removal direction in which the cover member 3 is removed from the protector main body 2. Furthermore, X is the extension direction of the first wiring material W1 and the extension direction of the second wiring material W2 in the protector 1 according to this embodiment. In the protector 1 according to this embodiment, the extension direction X, the opposing direction Y, and the orthogonal direction Z are mutually orthogonal.

[0013] 1 is incorporated in a wire harness WH1 mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile, and protects a first wiring material W1 and a second wiring material W2, that is, wiring materials W. The wire harness WH1 is, for example, a collective component made by bundling a plurality of wiring materials W used for power supply and signal communication to connect each device mounted on the vehicle, and connects the plurality of wiring materials W to each device with connectors or the like.

[0014] The wire harness WH1 according to the present embodiment includes a first wiring material W1 having a conductive first core material Wa1, a second wiring material W2 having a conductive second core material Wa2, and a protector 1 that protects the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 from the outside. The first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are, for example, made of electric wires. The electric wire is, for example, a core material Wa1, Wa2 that is a conductor portion made of a plurality of conductive metal wires, the outside of which is covered with insulating covering portions Wb1, Wb2 (see FIG. 3). The first wiring material W1 has a first peripheral surface (peripheral surface) W1o as shown in FIG. 3. The second wiring material W2 has a second peripheral surface (peripheral surface) W2o. In addition, the wire harness WH1 may be configured to further include a connector, an electrical connection box, a grommet, a fixing device, and the like. The configuration of the protector 1 will be described in detail below with reference to the respective drawings.

[0015] The protector 1 is formed of an insulating synthetic resin material. The protector 1 of this embodiment includes a first wiring material W1 and a second wiring material W2 as wiring materials W to be protected. As shown in FIG. 3, a second diameter (diameter) R2 of the second wiring material W2 is larger than a first diameter (diameter) R1 of the first wiring material W1. The protector 1 includes a protector main body 2, a cover member 3, a locking mechanism 4, and a guide mechanism 5.

[0016] The protector body 2 is formed in a gutter shape. The protector body 2 has a bottom 21 and a pair of body side walls 22a, 22b that face each other in the facing direction Y. The bottom 21 is formed in a flat plate shape. Each of the body side walls 22a, 22b is formed in a flat plate shape. The protector body 2 also has an accommodation space 2s that accommodates the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2, and an opening / closing opening 23 that connects the accommodation space 2s to the outside. The pair of body side walls 22a, 22b face each other in the facing direction Y across the bottom 21. Each of the body side walls 22a, 22b protrudes from an end of the bottom 21 in the facing direction Y toward one side of the perpendicular direction Z (more specifically, toward the removal direction Z2).

[0017] The opening / closing opening 23 is opened by the cover member 3, for example, when the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are inserted into the storage space 2s, and is closed by the cover member 3 after the wiring material W is inserted into the storage space 2s. The opening / closing opening 23 is formed at one end of the protector body 22 in the orthogonal direction Z. In other words, the opening / closing opening 23 is formed on the opposite side of the orthogonal direction Z from the side where the bottom 21 is formed. That is, the opening / closing opening 23 is formed on the removal direction Z2 side of the body side walls 22a, 22b.

[0018] Furthermore, the protector body 2 has a plurality of insertion openings 24 that communicate the storage space 2s with the outside and through which the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are inserted. The protector 1 according to this embodiment has three insertion openings 24. The protector 1 according to this embodiment has a first insertion opening 24a and a second insertion opening 24b at both ends in the length direction of the protector 1, and has a third insertion opening 24c midway in the length direction.

[0019] 1 and 2 opens and closes the opening 23. More specifically, the cover member 3 can close the storage space 2s of the protector body 2 to a closed state by closing the opening 23, and can open the storage space 2s of the protector body 2 to an open state by opening the opening 23.

[0020] The lid member 3 includes a ceiling portion 31, a lid side wall portion 32, and a protrusion portion 33. The ceiling portion 31 is formed in a flat plate shape. The lid side wall portion 32 is formed in a flat plate shape. A pair of lid side walls 32 according to this embodiment are provided on the lid member 3. More specifically, the pair of lid side walls 32a, 32b face each other in the facing direction Y with the ceiling portion 31 in between. Each of the lid side walls 32a, 32b protrudes from an end of the ceiling portion 31 in the facing direction Y toward the other side in the perpendicular direction Z (more specifically, toward the assembly direction Z1).

[0021] The lid member 3 according to this embodiment has lid side walls 32a, 32b overlapping with the main body side walls 22a, 22b when viewed from the opposing direction Y. In other words, the lid member 3 has lid side walls 32a, 32b overlapping with at least one of the pair of main body side walls 22a, 22b when viewed from the opposing direction Y.

[0022] In the above-described closed state, the ceiling portion 31 faces the bottom portion 21 of the protector body 2. More specifically, the ceiling portion 31 faces the bottom portion 21 of the protector body 2 in the orthogonal direction Z in the above-described closed state.

[0023] In the above-mentioned closed state, the protrusion 33 protrudes from the ceiling 31 toward the bottom 21. The protrusion 33 according to this embodiment is formed in a flat plate shape. The protrusion 33 is provided so as to close a part of the third insertion opening 24c provided in the middle of the length direction of the protector 1. The protrusion 33 also connects the ceiling 31 and the lid side wall 32a. The protrusion 33 has a contact surface 33f on the bottom 21 side in the orthogonal direction Z in the above-mentioned closed state. The contact surface 33f is inclined with respect to the orthogonal direction Z so as to move from the ceiling 31 side toward the bottom 21 side toward the lid side wall 32a, 32b. When viewed from the extension direction X, the protrusion 33 according to this embodiment is formed in a substantially triangular shape having a base on the ceiling 31 side and a vertex on the bottom 21 side.

[0024] The protruding amount of the protruding portion 33 from the ceiling surface located on the storage space 2s side of the cover member 3 toward the assembly direction Z1 is set as follows: In other words, the protruding amount of the protruding portion 33 is set so that when the multiple wiring materials W are arranged in the storage space 2s in a regular arrangement, the contact surface 33f of the protruding portion 33 does not come into contact with the first peripheral surface W1o of the first wiring material W1, whereas when the multiple wiring materials W are arranged in an irregular arrangement in the storage space 2s, the contact surface 33f of the protruding portion 33 comes into contact with the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2.

[0025] The locking mechanism 4 locks the cover member 3 to the protector body 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking claw 41 and a lock receiving portion 42 that is provided so as to be able to be locked to the locking claw 41. A plurality of locking mechanisms 4 are provided at intervals along the extension direction X of the first wiring material W1.

[0026] More specifically, in this embodiment, the multiple locking mechanisms 4 are provided adjacent to each insertion opening 24, and a separate locking mechanism 4 is provided between the locking mechanisms 4 provided adjacent to each insertion opening 24.

[0027] In the locking mechanism 4 according to this embodiment, the locking claw 41 is provided on the protector body 2, while the locking receiving portion 42 is provided on the cover member 3. Moreover, in the protector 1 according to this embodiment, the locking receiving portion 42 and the protrusion 33 are integrally provided. That is, in the cover member 3 according to this embodiment, the ceiling portion 31, the pair of cover side walls 32a, 32b, the protrusion 33, and the locking receiving portion 42 are integrally formed from a synthetic resin material. More specifically, the protrusion 33 functions as a rib that connects the ceiling portion 31 and the locking receiving portion 42 and improves the rigidity of the ceiling portion 31 and the locking receiving portion 42.

[0028] The guide mechanism 5 has a guide claw 51 and a guide receiving portion 52 that can be inserted into the guide claw 51. When assembling the cover member 3 to the protector body 2, the guide claw 51 of the guide mechanism 5 is inserted into the guide receiving portion 52 before the locking claw 41 is locked with the locking receiving portion 42, and the guide mechanism 5 guides the locking claw 41 toward the locking hole of the locking receiving portion 42.

[0029] Next, in the protector 1 according to this embodiment, a case where the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are accommodated in the accommodation space 2s and the cover member 3 is locked to the protector body 2 by the locking mechanism 4 will be described.

[0030] First, the worker inserts the first wiring material W1 into the storage space 2s through the opening 23.

[0031] Next, the worker inserts the second wiring material W2 into the storage space 2s through the opening and closing opening 23. That is, in this case, the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are stored in the storage space 2s in an irregular arrangement.

[0032] Next, the worker inserts the tip of the guide claw 51 into the guide receiving portion 52, and then moves the cover member 3 in the assembly direction Z1 relative to the protector body 2, and brings the locking receiving portion 42 close to the locking claw 41 in the perpendicular direction Z.

[0033] However, in the middle of the transition from the non-locked state to the locked state, the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2 comes into contact with the protrusion 33, as shown in Fig. 4, so that the transition to the locked state is restricted. In this state, for example, the locking claw 41 of the other of the pair of main body side walls 22a, 22b and the locking receiving portion 42 of the other of the pair of lid side walls 32a, 32b are in an locked state. On the other hand, the locking claw 41 of one of the pair of main body side walls 22a, 22b and the locking receiving portion 42 of one of the pair of lid side walls 32a, 32b are in an non-locked state. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a part of the locking claw 41 is inserted into a part of the locking receiving portion 42, but the locking claw 41 cannot be locked into the locking receiving portion 42, resulting in a semi-locked state.

[0034] Therefore, when the locking mechanism 4 cannot lock the lid member 3 to the protector body 2, the worker visually checks the arrangement of the multiple wiring materials W in the storage space 2s and the contact state between the protrusion 33 and the multiple wiring materials W through the insertion opening 24. Then, since the arrangement of the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 is not regular, the worker separates one of the body side wall portions 22a and one of the lid side wall portions 32a in the perpendicular direction Z, and swaps the positions of the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material, thereby storing the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 in the regular arrangement in the storage space 2s.

[0035] Next, the worker brings one of the main body side walls 22a close to one of the lid side walls 32a in the orthogonal direction Z, and brings the lock receiving portion 42 close to the locking claw 41.

[0036] Next, the worker inserts the locking claw 41 into the locking receiving portion 42 to lock the locking claw 41 and the locking receiving portion 42 together, and the locking mechanism 4 locks the cover member 3 to the protector main body 2 .

[0037] The protector 1 according to this embodiment has the following configuration. When the protrusion 33 is accommodated in the accommodation space 2s in an irregular arrangement in which the first peripheral surface W1o of the first wiring material W1 contacts the bottom 21 and the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2 contacts the first peripheral surface W1o of the first wiring material W1, the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2 contacts the protrusion 33 during the transition of the locking mechanism 4 from the unlocked state to the locked state. In addition, when the protrusion 33 is accommodated in the accommodation space 2s in a regular arrangement in which the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2 contacts the bottom 21 and the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2 contacts the first peripheral surface W1o of the first wiring material W1, the locking mechanism 4 transitions from the unlocked state to the locked state. Therefore, according to the protector 1 according to this embodiment, if the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are arranged in an irregular manner, the locking mechanism 4 cannot be locked, and the worker can recognize that the multiple wiring materials W are not arranged in a regular manner. Therefore, the worker can correct the multiple wiring materials W from an irregular arrangement to a regular arrangement and then lock the locking mechanism 4. As a result, the protector 1 according to this embodiment can provide a protector 1 that cannot lock the cover member 3 to the protector body 2 when the multiple wiring materials W are accommodated in the accommodation space 2s in an irregular arrangement. Therefore, the protector 1 according to this embodiment can arrange the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 on a preset route, and can prevent one wiring material W from straddling the other wiring material W. Therefore, the protector 1 according to this embodiment can prevent the excess length preset for the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 from being wasted. Therefore, the protector 1 according to this embodiment can prevent a decrease in the efficiency of the electrical connection work of the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 in the later process.

[0038] The protector 1 according to this embodiment has the following configuration. The protrusion 33 blocks a part of the insertion opening 24. Therefore, when the locking mechanism 4 cannot lock the cover member 3 to the protector body 2, the worker can visually confirm the arrangement of the multiple wiring materials W in the accommodation space 2s and the contact state between the protrusion 33 and the multiple wiring materials W at the insertion opening 24. As a result, the worker can visually confirm at the insertion opening 24 the reason why the locking mechanism 4 cannot lock the cover member 3 to the protector body 2 in the protector 1 according to this embodiment.

[0039] The protector 1 according to this embodiment has the following configuration. Each locking receiving portion 42 is provided on the cover member 3. The protruding portion 33 is formed integrally with the locking receiving portion 42. However, if the locking receiving portions 42 and the protruding portions 33 are formed separately, there is a risk that the cover member 3 will be elastically deformed when an operator applies force to press the cover member 3, and the cover member 3 will be locked to the protector body 2 by the locking mechanism 4. On the other hand, the protector 1 according to this embodiment can improve the rigidity of the cover member 3 compared to when the protruding portions 33 and the locking receiving portions 42 are formed separately, and therefore elastic deformation of the cover member 3 can be suppressed.

[0040] The protector 1 according to this embodiment has the following configuration. The protrusion 33 connects the ceiling 31 and the lid side wall 32a. Therefore, according to the protector 1 according to this embodiment, the rigidity of the lid member 3 can be improved compared to a lid member 3 in which the protrusion 33 is not connected to the lid side wall portions 32a, 32b.

[0041] The protector 1 according to this embodiment has the following configuration. The protrusion 33 has a contact surface 33f that contacts the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2 when the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are arranged in the storage space 2s in an irregular arrangement. The contact surface 33f is inclined with respect to the orthogonal direction Z so as to approach the lid side wall portion 32a as it moves from the ceiling portion 31 side to the bottom portion 21 side. However, if the protrusion 33 has a corner on the bottom portion 21 side, when the worker presses the lid member 3 against the protector main body 2, the corner of the protrusion 33 may be pressed against the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2, causing damage to the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2. On the other hand, the protrusion 33 of the protector 1 according to this embodiment has a contact surface 33f that is inclined with respect to the orthogonal direction Z so as to approach the lid side wall portion 32a as it moves from the ceiling portion 31 side to the bottom portion 21 side. Therefore, even if the first wiring material W1 and the second wiring material W2 are accommodated in the storage space 2s in an irregular arrangement, the above-mentioned contact surface 33f of the protrusion 33 comes into contact with the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2, thereby preventing damage to the second peripheral surface W2o of the second wiring material W2.

[0042] The protector 1 according to this embodiment has the following configuration. The protector body 2 has a plurality of insertion openings 24 through which the wiring material W is inserted into the storage space 2s. The protrusion 33 is provided in any one of the plurality of insertion openings 24. Therefore, the protector 1 according to this embodiment can reduce the amount of material required to form the cover member 3, compared to a protector in which the protrusion 33 is provided in each of the plurality of insertion openings 24.

[0043] The protrusion 33 according to the above embodiment has been described as closing a part of the insertion opening 24. However, the protector 1 according to the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and the protrusion 33 may be provided in the accommodation space 2s in the protector body 2.

[0044] Also, the protrusion 33 according to the embodiment described above is provided at the third insertion opening 24c provided midway in the length direction of the protector 1. However, the protector 1 according to this embodiment may be provided at either one of the insertion openings 24a, 24b provided at both ends of the protector 1 in the length direction.

[0045] Further, the protector 1 according to the embodiment described above has been described as having the protrusion 33 provided at any one of the multiple insertion openings 24. However, the protector 1 according to the embodiment is not limited to this, and the protrusion 33 may be provided at each of the multiple insertion openings 24.

[0046] Also, the protector 1 according to the above embodiment has been described as having the protector body 2 and the lid member 3 provided separately. However, the protector 1 according to the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the protector body 2 and the lid member 3 may be provided integrally. For example, the protector body 2 and the lid member 3 may be provided integrally via a hinge.

[0047] Furthermore, the protrusion 33 according to the embodiment described above is described as connecting the ceiling 31 and the lid side wall 32a. However, the protrusion 33 according to the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and does not have to connect the ceiling 31 and the lid side wall 32a.

[0048] Also, the contact surface 33f of the protrusion 33 according to the embodiment described above is inclined with respect to the orthogonal direction Z so as to move from the ceiling 31 side toward the bottom 21 side toward one of the lid side walls 32a. However, the contact surface 33f of the protrusion 33 according to the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and may be provided linearly from the ceiling 31 side toward the bottom 21 side.

[0049] Furthermore, the protrusion 33 according to the embodiment described above is described as being formed in a substantially triangular shape having a base on the ceiling portion 31 side and a vertex on the bottom portion 21 side when viewed from the extension direction X. However, the shape of the protrusion 33 according to the present embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the protrusion 33 may be formed in a rectangular shape. [Explanation of symbols]
