MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0010] [Description of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure] First, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.
[0011] The movable path regulation component for the electric wire of the present disclosure is as follows.
[0012] (1) A movable path regulation component for an electric wire that regulates the movable paths of at least one first electric wire and at least one second electric wire spanned between a first component and a second component that moves relative to the first component, the movable path regulation component for an electric wire comprising a main body component that is rotatably connected to another movable path regulation component for an electric wire, and a mounting component that is separate from the main body component and is attached to the main body component, wherein the main body component has an accommodation opening for the first electric wire and a first electric wire accommodation space that accommodates the at least one first electric wire in a penetrating state on the back side of the accommodation opening, the mounting component has a lid main body portion that closes the accommodation opening and an additional enclosure portion that forms a second electric wire accommodation space that accommodates the at least one second electric wire in a penetrating state, the second electric wire accommodation space is partitioned from the first electric wire accommodation space by the lid main body portion, and the additional enclosure portion includes an additional lid portion that is openable and closable between a state of surrounding the second electric wire accommodation space and a state of opening at least a part around the second electric wire accommodation space.
[0013] According to this wire movable path restricting component, even if a second wire is added, the first wire based on the basic design is path-restricted within the first wire accommodating space. Therefore, the addition of the second wire hardly affects the movement of the first wire. Also, the second wire is path-restricted within a second wire accommodating space partitioned from the first wire accommodating space. The first wire is path-restricted within the first wire accommodating space, and separately from this, the second wire is path-restricted within the second wire accommodating space. For this reason, the change in the path length according to the change in the paths of the first wire and the second wire is reduced. Thereby, the variation in the loads acting on the first wire and the second wire when the paths of the first wire and the second wire change is reduced.
[0014] Also, with the additional lid portion in the open state, at least one second wire can be easily arranged within the second wire accommodating space. After this, by closing the additional lid portion, at least one second wire can be path-restricted by the second wire accommodating space.
[0015] (2) The wire movable path restricting component according to (1), wherein the mounting component may include a hinge portion that swingably supports the additional lid portion on one side of the additional lid portion, an additional lid locking portion provided on the other side of the additional lid portion, and an additional lid mating side locking portion that can be locked with the additional lid locking portion.
[0016] In this case, by rotating the additional lid portion around the hinge portion to close the additional lid portion, the additional lid locking portion can be easily locked to the additional lid mating side locking portion.
[0017] (3) The wire movable path restricting component according to (2), wherein the hinge portion may be a thin hinge portion formed thinner than a pair of adjacent portions continuous with the hinge portion. Thereby, by making the lid main body portion and the additional surrounding portion into an integrally formed die component, the number of components can be reduced while easily forming the hinge portion.
[0018] (4) A movable path regulating part for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (3), wherein the main body part may be harder than the mounting part. Thereby, the strength of the movable path regulating part for an electric wire can be ensured by the main body part that is harder than the mounting part. In addition, the mounting part that is softer than the main body part is suitable for providing a structure for opening and closing the additional lid part with respect to the lid main body part and a locking structure for keeping the closed state.
[0019] (5) A movable path regulating part for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (4), wherein the main body part has locking parts located on both side parts of the accommodating opening, the lid main body part has a locked part to which the locking parts are locked, and the additional surrounding part may be formed at a position where it can be mold-formed inside the locked part. The additional surrounding part and the locked part can be easily mold-formed.
[0020] (6) A movable path regulating part for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (5), wherein the number of the at least one second electric wire accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space may be less than the number of the at least one first electric wire accommodated in the first electric wire accommodating space. In this case, the fewer second electric wires can be easily added.
[0021] (7) A movable path regulating part for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (6), wherein the mounting part may have a regulated shape surface symmetry with respect to a surface orthogonal to the width direction and a regulated shape surface symmetry with respect to a surface orthogonal to the penetrating direction of the second electric wire accommodating space. Thereby, since the mounting part can be attached to the main body part without worrying about the orientation, the assembling workability of the movable path regulating part for an electric wire is improved.
[0022] (8) A movable path regulating part for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (7), wherein the length of the additional surrounding part in the penetrating direction of the second electric wire accommodating space may gradually decrease as it moves away from the main body part. Thereby, when the movable path regulating part for an electric wire rotates with respect to another electric wire path regulating part, the additional surrounding part is less likely to interfere with the other electric wire path regulating part.
[0023] (9) Any one of the wire movable path restricting components according to (1) to (8), wherein a portion of the additional enclosure portion opposite to the main body component may be formed in an arc shape when viewed along the penetration direction of the second wire accommodation space. In this way, when a portion of the additional enclosure portion opposite to the main body component is in an arc shape, it is easy to cover the wire movable path restricting component with an exterior component such as a rubber boot.
[0024] Also, the path restricting wire harness according to the present disclosure is as follows.
[0025] (10) A path restricting wire harness including any one of the wire movable path restricting components according to (1) to (9), the at least one first wire, and the at least one second wire, wherein the plurality of wire movable path restricting components are rotatably connected to each other in a row, the at least one first wire is accommodated in the plurality of wire movable path restricting components through the first wire accommodation space, and the at least one second wire is accommodated in the plurality of wire movable path restricting components through the second wire accommodation space.
[0026] Thereby, it is possible to easily cope with the addition of wires, and in the path restricting wire harness, when the paths of the first wire and the second wire change, the variation in the load acting on the first wire and the second wire is reduced.
[0027] [Details of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure] Specific examples of the wire movable path restricting component and the path restricting wire harness of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.
[0028] [Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, the wire movable path restricting component and the path restricting wire harness according to the embodiment will be described.
[0029] <Examples of Application Targets of Route-Regulating Wire Harnesses> FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing a state where a route-regulating wire harness 20 is disposed between a vehicle body main body 10 and a slide door 14. In FIG. 1, the movement path of the slide door 14 when the slide door 14 is opened and closed is indicated by an arrow A. Further, the state change of the route-regulating wire harness 20 accompanying the opening and closing of the slide door 14 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.
[0030] The relationship between the vehicle body main body 10 and the slide door 14 will be described. The automobile includes a vehicle body main body 10 and a slide door 14 provided on one side portion of the vehicle body main body 10. A boarding opening 11 through which a person can get on and off is provided on one side portion of the vehicle body main body 10. The slide door 14 is supported movably between a position (closed position P1) for closing the boarding opening 11 and a position (open position P2) for opening the boarding opening 11 by a slide support mechanism portion including a guide rail 12 and a movable support portion or the like that supports the slide door 14 in a state movable along the guide rail 12. In the present embodiment, the closed position P1 is located forward of the open position P2.
[0031] The slide door 14 slides laterally of the vehicle body main body 10 to open and close the boarding opening 11. Here, the slide door 14 slides from the closed position P1 toward the open position P2 while being displaced outward in the vehicle width direction (see arrow A). The vehicle body main body 10 is an example of a first component, and the slide door 14 is an example of a second component that moves relative to the vehicle body main body 10.
[0032] The route-regulating wire harness 20 is laid between the vehicle body main body 10 and the slide door 14 as described above. When the slide door 14 moves relative to the vehicle body main body 10, the route-regulating wire harness 20 moves along with the movement of the slide door 14. The range of movement of the route at this time is regulated by a movable route-regulating component 30 for electric wires. Thereby, it is suppressed that the route-regulating wire harness 20 interferes with the peripheral portion of the boarding opening 11 of the vehicle body main body 10 and the slide door 14.
[0033] The first component and the second component to which the routing control wire harness 20 is routed are not limited to the above example. The routing control wire harness 20 is routed between the first component and the second component that moves relative to the first component. For example, the first component may be a vehicle body (e.g., a floor), and the second component may be a slide seat.
[0034] <Regarding the routing control wire harness> FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a part of the routing control wire harness 20, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III of FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, the state where the connected movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires are rotated is shown by a two-dot chain line.
[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the routing control wire harness 20 includes a plurality of movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires, at least one first electric wire 22, and at least one second electric wire 24. In FIG. 2, a plurality of first electric wires 22 are shown as one bundle.
[0036] A plurality of movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires are connected in a row so as to be rotatable relative to each other. In the present embodiment, adjacent movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires are connected so as to be rotatable around one axis. For this reason, adjacent movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires are in a state where rotation around an axis different from the one axis is restricted. By connecting a plurality of movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires so as to be rotatable around an axis parallel to the one axis, the plurality of movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires are connected so as to be able to bend on one plane, and bending in a direction hanging down from the one plane is suppressed.
[0037] Also, the rotation range around one axis is restricted between adjacent movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires. Thereby, the bending direction and the bending range of the plurality of movable routing control parts 30 for electric wires on the one plane are restricted. The configuration for restricting this rotation range will be described later.
[0038] The movable path regulating component 30 for an electric wire has a first electric wire accommodating space 36 and a second electric wire accommodating space 68. The first electric wire accommodating space 36 and the second electric wire accommodating space 68 are adjacent to each other in a partitioned state.
[0039] The first electric wire 22 is a wiring member that electrically connects the electrical components on the vehicle body main body 10 side and the electrical components on the slide door 14 side. The first electric wire 22 may be one or a plurality of wires. The second electric wire 24 is a wiring member that electrically connects the electrical components on the vehicle body main body 10 side and the electrical components on the slide door 14 side. The second electric wire 24 may be one or a plurality of wires. The first electric wire 22 has, for example, a core wire 22a and an insulating coating 22b that covers the core wire 22a. The second electric wire 24 has, for example, a core wire 24a and an insulating coating 24b that covers the core wire 24a. The first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 are spanned between the vehicle body main body 10 and the slide door 14 and connected to the respective electrical components.
[0040] The first electric wire 22 is assumed to be a wiring material that connects the electrical components installed in the basic design stage of the automobile, for example. The second electric wire 24 is assumed to be a wiring material that is connected to the electrical components added by equipment addition or the like after the basic design stage of the automobile. For this reason, it is assumed that the number of the second electric wires 24 is smaller than the number of the first electric wires 22.
[0041] The first electric wire 22 is accommodated through each first electric wire accommodating space 36 in a plurality of movable path regulating components 30 for electric wires arranged in a row. The second electric wire 24 is accommodated through each second electric wire accommodating space 68 in a plurality of movable path regulating components 30 for electric wires arranged in a row. For this reason, the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 are path-regulated in separate spaces 36 and 68 of the plurality of movable path regulating components 30 for electric wires while maintaining a parallel state.
[0042] The first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 may be signal electric wires or power electric wires. The plurality of first electric wires 22 may be bundled in the form of a stranded wire or may be bundled in a state covered within a sheath. Similarly, the plurality of second electric wires 24 may also be bundled by being stranded or covered with a sheath. Further, the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 may include a coaxial cable.
[0043] <Regarding the movable path regulating component for electric wires> The movable path regulating component 30 for electric wires will be described. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the movable path regulating component 30 for electric wires. FIG. 5 is a In FIG. 2 V-V cross-sectional view showing the movable path regulating component 30 for electric wires.
[0044] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the movable path regulating component 30 for electric wires includes a main body component 32 and a mounting component 50. The main body component 32 and the mounting component 50 are components separately formed by a mold, for example, with resin.
[0045] The main body component 32 is rotatably connected to the main body component 32 of another movable path regulating component 30 for electric wires. The main body component 32 has a housing opening 38 and a first electric wire housing space 36. The housing opening 38 is an opening for housing the first electric wire 22 within the main body component 32. The first electric wire housing space 36 is a space for housing the first electric wire 22 in a penetrating state on the back side of the housing opening 38.
[0046] More specifically, the main body component 32 is a component integrally formed by a mold with resin and includes a bottom piece 34 and a pair of side pieces 40.
[0047] The side piece 40 is formed in an elongated plate shape. A connecting recess 41 is formed at one longitudinal end of the side piece 40. In the present embodiment, the connecting recess 41 is a round through hole. The outer peripheral edge at one longitudinal end of the side piece 40 is formed as an arcuate edge 42 protruding outward.
[0048] A connecting protrusion 44 is formed on the outer-facing surface of the other end in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. In the present embodiment, the connecting protrusion 44 is a short cylindrical protrusion. The connecting protrusions 44 at the other ends in the longitudinal direction of the pair of side pieces 40 are fitted into the connecting recesses 41 at one ends in the longitudinal direction of the other pair of side pieces 40. Thereby, a plurality of adjacent main body parts 32 are connected so as to be rotatable around the central axis of the pair of connecting protrusions 44.
[0049] Of the tip surface of the connecting protrusion 44, the portion closer to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 is formed as a guide surface 44g that reduces the protruding length as it goes toward the other end in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. Connecting protrusion 44 For this reason, one end of the side piece 40 can easily ride onto the connecting protrusion 44 of the other side piece 40 by using the guide surface 44g of the connecting protrusion 44. Thereby, the connecting protrusion 44 can be easily fitted into the connecting recess 41.
[0050] The outer-facing surface of the other end in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 is recessed more than the outer-facing surface of one end in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. Thereby, when the other end of the side piece 40 to and one end of the other side piece 40 is are overlapped, the step between the outer surface of one end of the side piece 40 and the outer surface of the portion of the other side piece 40 one end can be reduced.
[0051] The outer peripheral edge of the other end in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 is formed in a shape that restricts the rotation range with respect to the other side piece 40. In the present embodiment, the outer peripheral edge of the other end in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 has a first restricting edge 46a along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 and a second restricting edge 46b inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The first restricting edge 46a and the second restricting edge 46b face opposite to each other.
[0052] When the above-mentioned connecting protrusion 44 is fitted into the connecting recess 41, the two side pieces 40 are connected. When the two side pieces 40 extend linearly, the first regulating edge 46a of one side piece 40 contacts the inward protrusion 45 of the other side piece 40 (the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 3). When the two side pieces 40 rotate relative to each other, the second regulating edge 46b of one side piece 40 contacts the bottom piece 34 of the other side piece 40 (the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). Therefore, the rotation range of the two side pieces 40 is restricted to the range where the two regulating edges 46a and 46b of one side piece 40 contact the inward protrusion 45 or the bottom piece 34 of the other side piece 40.
[0053] According to the required rotation range between adjacent side pieces 40, the shapes of the first regulating edge 46a and the second regulating edge 46b are set as appropriate.
[0054] The bottom piece 34 connects the one-side edges of the pair of side pieces 40. The first wire accommodation space 36 is a space surrounded by the bottom piece 34 and the pair of side pieces 40. The first wire accommodation space 36 is open on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The direction passing through the two openings of the first wire accommodation space 36 is the penetration direction of the first wire accommodation space 36. This penetration direction is along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The first wire 22 can be accommodated in the first wire accommodation space 36 in a penetrating state extending on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The first wire accommodation space 36 is also open on the side opposite to the bottom piece 34. This opening is the accommodation opening 38 for accommodating the first wire 22. The first wire accommodation space 36 is located on the side of the bottom piece 34 with respect to the accommodation opening 38, that is, on the inner side. The first wire 22 passes through the accommodation opening 38 and is accommodated in the first wire accommodation space 36 in a penetrating state.
[0055] On the other-side edges of the pair of side pieces 40, inward protrusions 45 protruding toward the center in the width direction of the pair of side pieces 40 are formed. The inward protrusions 45 are formed at the longitudinal middle portions of the other-side edges of the pair of side pieces 40. There is a gap between the tip ends of the pair of inward protrusions 45. The gap is set to a size that allows the first wire 22 to pass through.
[0056] The above-mentioned inward protrusion 45 can be in contact with the above-mentioned first regulation edge 46a. The surface of the inward protrusion 45 on the side opposite to the negative film 34 is formed with a support surface 45f along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 and the direction perpendicular to the side piece 40. The mounting component 50 is stably supported on the support surface 45f.
[0057] The main body component 32 has locking protrusions 48 as locking parts located on both sides of the accommodating opening 38. Here, a long hole 45g is formed along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 in the middle part in the longitudinal direction of the inward protrusion 45. The locking protrusions 48 as locking parts project through the long hole 45g from the other edge of the side piece 40. The locking protrusion 48 has a plate part 48a protruding outward in the width direction of the side piece 40 and a protrusion 48b protruding from the tip of the plate part 48a in the thickness direction of the plate part 48a. The plate part 48a is formed at a distance from the inner peripheral surface of the long hole 45g and can be elastically deformed within the long hole 45g. The protrusion 48b protrudes outward of the pair of side pieces 40. The tip of the protrusion 48b is formed with a guide surface 48g whose height gradually decreases toward the tip of the plate part 48a.
[0058] The mounting component 50 is a component separate from the main body component 32. In this embodiment, the entire mounting component 50 is integrally formed by the same resin in a mold. Also, the mounting component 50 is a component attached to the main body component 32. The mounting component 50 has a lid main body part 52 and an additional surrounding part 60.
[0059] The lid main body part 52 includes a plate-like part that closes the accommodating opening 38. The lid main body part 52 does not need to completely close the accommodating opening 38, and it is sufficient to close the accommodating opening 38 to prevent the first electric wire 22 from coming off from the accommodating opening 38. In this embodiment, the lid main body part 52 closes the accommodating opening 38 at the part where the inward protrusion 45 exists.
[0060] More specifically, the lid main body portion 52 includes a rectangular plate-like portion. The width of the lid main body portion 52 is set to be larger than the interval between the pair of side pieces 40. The length of the lid main body portion 52 is set to a length that can cover the inward projecting portions 45. The lid main body portion 52 can cover the storage opening 38 in a state of being placed on the support surfaces 45f of the pair of inward projecting portions 45.
[0061] The lid main body portion 52 has positioning auxiliary protrusions 53 extending on the outer surfaces of the other side edges of the pair of side pieces 40. In a state where the lid main body portion 52 closes the storage opening 38, the pair of positioning auxiliary protrusions 53 contact the outer surfaces of the pair of side pieces 40, and positioning in the width direction of the lid main body portion 52 is performed.
[0062] The lid main body portion 52 has a locking hole portion 54 as a portion to be locked where the locking protrusion 48 locked acts. In the present embodiment, the locking hole portion 54 is formed at the corner portion from the portion placed on the support surface 45f to the positioning auxiliary protrusion 53 of the lid main body portion 52. The edge portion 53a formed on the positioning auxiliary protrusion 53 of the locking hole portion 54 faces the protruding direction of the locking protrusion 48. Therefore, when the protrusion 48b of the locking protrusion 48 engages with the edge portion 53a, the lid main body portion 52 is locked so as not to separate from the other side edge of the side piece 40.
[0063] The locking hole portion 54 also extends to the portion of the lid main body portion 52 placed on the support surface 45f. The locking protrusion 48 can elastically deform in the thickness direction of the plate portion 48a by using the portion of the locking hole portion 54 that extends on the support surface 45f.
[0064] Then, by the pair of locking protrusions 48 being snap-locked to the pair of locking hole portions 54, the mounting component 50 is attached to the main body component 32. Note that a locking hole portion may be formed in the main body component and a locking protrusion may be formed in the mounting component.
[0065] The lid main body 52 has a pair of auxiliary pieces 55 that extend toward the bottom plate 34 inside the tip of the inward protrusion 45. In a state where the attachment part 50 is attached to the main body part 32, the pair of auxiliary pieces 55 come into contact with the tip of the inward protrusion 45, thereby suppressing the rattling of the lid main body 52 with respect to the main body part 32.
[0066] The additional enclosure part 60 is a part that forms a second wire accommodation space 68 for accommodating the second wire 24 in a penetrating state. The second wire accommodation space 68 is a space partitioned by the lid main body 52 with respect to the first wire accommodation space 36.
[0067] The additional enclosure part 60 includes an additional lid part 64 that can be opened and closed between a state of surrounding the second wire accommodation space 68 and an open state in which at least a part around the second wire accommodation space 68 is opened.
[0068] In the present embodiment, the additional enclosure part 60 has a pair of additional side wall parts 61 and an additional lid part 64.
[0069] The pair of additional side wall parts 61 are located inside the pair of lock hole parts 54. The pair of additional side wall parts 61 are long plate-shaped along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 and protrude on the side opposite to the main body part 32 with respect to the lid main body 52. The dimension in the longitudinal direction of the additional side wall part 61 is formed so as to gradually decrease as it moves away from the lid main body 52.
[0070] The additional lid part 64 connects between the tips of the pair of additional side wall parts 61 at a position away from the lid main body 52. In the present embodiment, the additional lid part 64 is square plate-shaped. The width of the additional lid part 64 is larger than the interval between the pair of additional side wall parts 61. The length of the additional lid part 64 along the longitudinal direction of the additional side wall part 61 is set to a size corresponding to the length of the tip of the additional side wall part 61.
[0071] It should be noted that it is not essential for the additional lid part 64 to be square plate-shaped. The additional lid part may be, for example, U-shaped plate-shaped or V-shaped plate-shaped that protrudes outward when viewed along the longitudinal direction of the additional side wall part 61.
[0072] One of the pair of additional side wall portions 61 of The tip portion and Additional lid part 64 One side portion of are connected by a hinge portion 63. By this hinge portion 63, Additional lid part 64 Is swingably supported on one side thereof.
[0073] In the present embodiment, the hinge portion 63 is a thin-walled hinge formed thinner than a pair of adjacent portions continuous with the hinge portion 63. In the present embodiment, the pair of adjacent portions continuous with the hinge portion 63 are one of the additional side wall portions 61 and one side portion of the additional lid portion 64, and the hinge portion 63 is formed thinner than these portions.
[0074] The thin-walled hinge is a portion integrally formed with the additional side wall portion 61 and the additional lid portion 64 by a mold. Therefore, the additional lid portion 64 can be easily integrally formed with the same resin by a mold together with the portions of the mounting component 50 other than the additional lid portion 64.
[0075] It is not essential that the hinge portion 63 has the above configuration. For example, the hinge portion may have a configuration in which a pin-shaped shaft portion protruding from one of one of the additional side wall portion 61 and one side portion of the additional lid portion 64 is rotatably fitted into a recess formed in the other. Then, the additional lid portion 64 may be opened and closed by the shaft portion rotating within the recess.
[0076] An additional lid locking portion 65 is provided on the other side of the additional lid portion 64. The mounting component 50 has an additional lid mating-side locking portion 61p capable of locking the additional lid locking portion 65.
[0077] In the present embodiment, the additional lid locking portion 65 is formed in a plate shape extending from the other side portion of the additional lid portion 64 the other Along the outer surface of the additional side wall portion 61 toward its base end. A locking hole 65h for locking the additional lid mating-side locking portion 61p is formed in the additional lid locking portion 65.
[0078] The additional lid mating-side locking portion 61p is the otherIt is a protruding locking projection provided on the outer surface of the additional side wall portion 61. The mating-side lock portion 61p for the additional lid is formed in a shape such that the protruding length gradually decreases as it extends toward the distal end side of the additional side wall portion 61.
[0079] Then, when attempting to close the additional lid portion 64 by rotating the additional lid portion 64 around the hinge portion 63, the lock portion 65 for the additional lid the other moves toward the base end side along the additional side wall portion 61. Then, the leading edge of the lock portion 65 for the additional lid contacts the inclined surface of the mating-side lock portion 61p for the additional lid, the other and at least one of the following occurs: the additional side wall portion 61 elastically deforms inward, and the lock portion 65 for the additional lid elastically deforms outward. Utilizing this elastic deformation, the mating-side lock portion 61p for the additional lid is locked within the locking hole 65h. As a result, the additional lid portion 64 is kept in the closed state.
[0080] Note that locking holes may be formed on the other side of the additional lid portion 64, and locking protrusions may be formed on the additional side wall portion 61 side.
[0081] Note that it is not essential that the additional lid portion 64 One additional side wall part 61 is supported to be openable and closable with respect to []. For example, the additional lid portion may be supported to be openable and closable with respect to the lid main body portion via a hinge portion. In this case, in order to form a recess for accommodating the second electric wire in the additional lid portion, the additional lid portion may have a side wall portion corresponding to the additional side wall portion 61. Therefore, it is not essential that the additional side wall portion 61 is integrally formed with the lid main body portion 52. In other words, the entire additional surrounding portion may be the additional lid portion.
[0082] Also, the additional lid portion 64 may be a separate component with respect to the lid main body portion 52. For example, a component in which the portions corresponding to the additional lid portion 64 and the pair of additional side wall portions 61 are integrally formed by a mold with the same resin, and separately, a component in which the portion corresponding to the additional lid portion 64 is integrally formed by a mold with the same resin may be used. In this case, both side portions of the portion corresponding to the additional lid portion 64 may be locked to the portions corresponding to the pair of additional side wall portions 61 by a configuration similar to the locking configuration.
[0083] The above-mentioned additional surrounding portion 60 is formed at a position where it can be formed by a mold inside the pair of locking hole portions 54. In the present embodiment, in a state where the additional lid portion 64 is opened, the additional lid portion 64 is one positioned on the extension of the tip side of the additional side wall portion 61 of. In this form, the pair of additional side wall portions 61 and the additional lid portion 64 can be formed by a mold inside the pair of locking hole portions 54.
[0084] The space surrounded by the lid main body portion 52, the pair of additional side wall portions 61, and the additional lid portion 64 is the second wire accommodation space 68 for accommodating the second wire 24. The second wire accommodation space 68 is open on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the pair of additional side wall portions 61. The penetration direction of the second wire accommodation space 68 is along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The second wire 24 is accommodated in the second wire accommodation space 68 in a penetrating state along the longitudinal directions of the side piece 40 and the pair of additional side wall portions 61. The second wire accommodation space 68 is partitioned from the first wire accommodation space 36 by the lid main body portion 52.
[0085] Therefore, the first wire 22 is accommodated in the first wire accommodation space 36, and separately from this, the second wire 24 is accommodated in the second wire accommodation space 68. It is suppressed that the first wire 22 enters the second wire accommodation space 68 or the second wire 24 enters the first wire accommodation space 36.
[0086] As described above, it is assumed that the second wire 24 is less than the first wire 22. For this reason, when viewed along the longitudinal directions of the first wire 22 and the second wire 24, the second wire accommodation space 68 is the first wire accommodation space 36 more may be smaller. Thereby, a smaller number of the second wires 24 can be accommodated in a narrower space, and a larger number of the first Electric wire 22 can be accommodated in a wider accommodation space.
[0087] The materials of the above-mentioned main body component 32 and the mounting component 50 are arbitrary, but the main body component 32 may be harder than the mounting component 50. Here, the evaluation of which of the two components is hard (or soft) may be made based on, for example, the value obtained by a hardness test according to ISO / TS 19278:2019. For example, the main body component 32 may be formed of polyamide 66 (PA66), and the mounting component 50 may be formed of polypropylene (PP). The main body component 32 may contain glass fibers.
[0088] If the main body component 32 is hard, the connection between the movable path regulating components 30 for electric wires is difficult to come off, and the regulation of the rotation range between the movable path regulating components 30 for electric wires is firmly performed. For this reason, the path regulation of the path regulation wire harness 20 is firmly performed. Then, by utilizing the fact that the mounting component 50 is soft, the locking protrusion 48 is inserted into the locking hole portion 54 locked The operation of inserting and the operation of locking the additional lid mating side locking portion 61p to the locking hole 65h can be easily performed.
[0089] The above-mentioned mounting component 50 has a regulated shape surface symmetry with respect to a plane orthogonal to its width direction. Further, the mounting component 50 has a regulated shape surface symmetry with respect to a plane orthogonal to the penetrating direction of the second wire accommodation space 68.
[0090] Here, the regulated shape surface symmetry means having surface symmetry with respect to the shape for regulating the paths of the electric wires 22 and 24, that is, the regulating surface (for example, the surface defining the first wire accommodation space 36 or the second wire accommodation space 68) for keeping the mounting component 50 and the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 within a predetermined range and the functional part related to regulating the range in which the movable path regulating component 30 for electric wires rotates are surface-symmetrical. For this reason, for example, the hinge portion 63, the additional lid locking portion 65, and the additional lid mating side locking portion 61p are not the regulating surfaces for keeping the electric wires 22 and 24 within a predetermined range, and do not affect the regulation of the rotation range, so they do not necessarily have the above-mentioned surface symmetry. Also, with respect to the design-shaped portions of the mounting component 50 that do not affect the above-mentioned regulating surface and the shape, the above-mentioned surface symmetry does not necessarily have to be present.
[0091] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the lid main body 52 restricts the accommodation range of the first electric wire 22 as a part of the surface that defines the first electric wire accommodation space 36. Also, the central portion in the width direction of the outer surface of the lid main body 52, the inner surfaces of the pair of additional side wall portions 61, and the inward-facing surface of the additional lid portion 64 define the second electric wire accommodation space 68. These respective surfaces are formed in a symmetric shape with respect to left and right along the width direction. Also, these respective surfaces are formed in a symmetric shape with respect to the front and rear direction, which is the penetration direction of the second electric wire accommodation space 68.
[0092] Also, in a state where the adjacent wire movable path restricting components 30 are bent, the adjacent mounting components 50 are set so as not to contact each other.
[0093] Thus, the mounting component 50 according to this embodiment has restricting shape surface symmetry in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction. For this reason, even if the mounting direction of the mounting component 50 is reversed left and right, the accommodation range of the first electric wire 22 by the first electric wire accommodation space 36 and the accommodation range of the second electric wire 24 by the second electric wire accommodation space 68 do not change. Also, the rotation range between the adjacent wire movable path restricting components 30 does not change. Therefore, for this reason, even if the mounting direction of the mounting component 50 with respect to the main body component 32 is reversed left and right, the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 can be path-restricted in the same manner.
[0094] The path-restricting wire harness 20 is manufactured, for example, as follows.
[0095] First, a plurality of wire movable path restricting components 30 connected in a row are prepared. In this state, the first electric wire accommodation spaces 36 of the respective wire movable path restricting components 30 are arranged so as to be aligned in a row. Also, the first electric wire accommodation space 36 opens through the accommodation opening 38. The accommodation openings 38 are also aligned in a row.
[0096] The first electric wire 22 is disposed between a pair of side pieces 40 through the accommodation opening 38. Next, a pair of locking protrusions 48 are inserted into a pair of locking hole portions 54, and the protrusion 48b is locked to the locking hole portion 54. Thereby, with the lid main body portion 52 closing the accommodation opening 38, the mounting component 50 is attached to the main body component 32. In this state, the first electric wire 22 is kept accommodated in the first electric wire accommodation space 36 arranged in a row.
[0097] In the state after the mounting component 50 is mounted, the plurality of hinge portions 63 may be arranged in a row closer to one side of the main body component 32. In this case, in the next step, since the plurality of additional lid portions 64 may be rotated in the same direction and closed, the operation of closing the plurality of additional lid portions 64 is easy. The hinge portions 63 located closer to one side of the main body component 32 and the hinge portions 63 located closer to the other side may be mixed. In the state after the mounting component 50 is attached to the main body component 32, the mating locking portion 61p for the additional lid is not engaged with the locking hole 65h, and the additional lid portion 64 is in an open state.
[0098] Next, the second electric wire 24 is disposed between a pair of additional side wall portions 61. Thereafter, the additional lid portion 64 is closed, and the mating locking portion 61p for the additional lid is engaged with the locking hole 65h. Thereby, the second electric wire 24 is kept accommodated in the second electric wire accommodation space 68 arranged in a row.
[0099] With the additional lid portion 64 open, the second electric wire 24 may be disposed on the lid main body portion 52, and then the additional lid portion 64 may be closed. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform an operation such as passing the second electric wire 24 through the second electric wire accommodation space 68. Thereby, the holding operation of the second electric wire 24 can be easily performed.
[0100] Note that the plurality of movable path regulating components 30 for electric wires connected in a row may be covered with an exterior member 70 formed in a cylindrical shape by rubber or the like (see FIGS. 1 and 5). The exterior member may be, for example, a member also called a rubber boot.
[0101] <Operation of the path regulating wire harness> An operation example of the path control wire harness 20 will be described.
[0102] The path control wire harness 20 is disposed so as to be spanned between the vehicle body main body 10 and the slide door 14. In this state, one end of the plurality of movable path control parts 30 for electric wires connected in a row is connected to the vehicle body main body 10. The other end of the plurality of movable path control parts 30 for electric wires is connected to the slide door 14. As a result, the plurality of movable path control parts 30 for electric wires move so as to bend as the slide door 14 opens and closes. Between adjacent movable path control parts 30 for electric wires, they are restricted to rotate around the axis of the pair of connecting protrusions 44. Also, between adjacent movable path control parts 30 for electric wires, the rotation range is restricted by the shapes of the first restricting edge 46a and the second restricting edge 46b. For this reason, the plurality of movable path control parts 30 for electric wires are path-controlled so as to bend in a preset bending form.
[0103] The first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 can bend while being path-controlled by the plurality of movable path control parts 30 for electric wires as the slide door 14 opens and closes. At this time, the first electric wire 22 is path-controlled by the plurality of first electric wire accommodation spaces 36 arranged in a row. The second electric wire 24 is path-controlled by the plurality of second electric wire accommodation spaces 68 arranged in a row adjacent to the first electric wire 22.
[0104] If the first electric wire accommodation space 36 and the second electric wire accommodation space 68 are continuous with each other, the first electric wire 22 moves to the second electric wire accommodation space 68 side, and the second electric wire 24 On the side of the first electric wire accommodation space 36 may move. In that case, the degree of freedom of the positions of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 in the movable path control part 30 for electric wires increases. For this reason, when the path control wire harness 20 is bent, an unstable state occurs in which the first electric wire 22 outside is located on the outer peripheral side or the second electric wire 24 is located on the inner peripheral side. Then, for each of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24, the change in the path length corresponding to the change in the path of the path control wire harness 20 may increase.
[0105] In this embodiment, the first electric wire 22 is path-restricted by the first electric wire accommodation space 36, and the second electric wire 24 is path-restricted by the second electric wire accommodation space 68 adjacent to the first electric wire 22. Therefore, the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 are path-restricted within a limited range as compared with the case where the first electric wire accommodation space 36 and the second electric wire accommodation space 68 are continuous with each other. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the change in the path length of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 due to the change in the path of the path-restricted wire harness 20.
[0106] For this reason, it is easy to predict the required lengths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24. Also, it is easy to predict the bending manner of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 within the path-restricted wire harness 20. For this reason, it becomes easy to predict the bending performance of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24. Note that the bending performance can be evaluated, for example, by the number of bending times until the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 are disconnected when repeated bending is performed under the conditions path-restricted by the movable path-restricting component 30 for electric wires.
[0107] <Usage example> The above-described path-restricted wire harness 20 can be used, for example, in the following scenarios.
[0108] For example, in the basic design, assume that a path-restricted wire harness including at least one first electric wire 22 and not including the second electric wire 24 is designed. The basic design is, for example, a design related to the initial model of an automobile. In the basic design, the electrical components incorporated in the sliding door 14 are set. As the path-restricted wire harness according to the basic design, a path design for path-restricting the bending of the first electric wire 22 connected to the electrical components incorporated in the sliding door 14 is made. As this path-restricted wire harness, a movable path-restricting component for electric wires with the additional enclosure 60 omitted in the above-described path-restricted wire harness 20 is adopted.
[0109] Subsequently, it is assumed that an additional design is made to add electrical components to the sliding door 14. In this case, the routing of the second electric wire 24 connected to the additional electrical components will be additionally regulated. The first electric wire accommodation space 36 is designed to regulate the routing of the first electric wire 22 in the basic design. Therefore, there may be no remaining space in the first electric wire accommodation space 36 for accommodating the second electric wire 24. Also, if the second electric wire 24 is added to the first electric wire accommodation space 36, the behavior of the first electric wire 22 within the first electric wire accommodation space 36 may change, and the bending performance of the first electric wire 22 may also change.
[0110] Therefore, as described above, the mounting component 50 with the additional enclosure 60 is set. Instead of the mounting component adopted in the basic design, the mounting component 50 having the additional enclosure 60 is attached to the main body component 32. The main body component 32 is the same as the main body component 32 in the basic design.
[0111] In this case, for the first electric wire 22, the routing is regulated in the same manner as in the basic design. Therefore, for the second electric wire 24, it is only necessary to predict the bending performance. Since the second electric wire 24 is routed within the second electric wire accommodation space 68 partitioned from the first electric wire accommodation space 36, the bending behavior of the second electric wire 24 is stable, and the variation in the routing length due to bending is also small. Therefore, it is easy to predict the bending performance due to the addition of the second electric wire 24.
[0112] <Effects, etc.> According to the movable path restricting component 30 for electric wires and the path restricting wire harness 20 configured as described above, even if the second electric wire 24 is added to the path restricting wire harness based on the basic design, the first electric wire 22 is path-restricted within the first electric wire accommodation space 36 based on the basic design. Therefore, the addition of the second electric wire 24 hardly affects the movement of the first electric wire 22. Also, the second electric wire 24 is path-restricted within the second electric wire accommodation space 68 partitioned from the first electric wire accommodation space 36. Since the first electric wire 22 is path-restricted within the first electric wire accommodation space 36 and the second electric wire 24 is path-restricted within the second electric wire accommodation space 68, the ranges of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 during path changes are limited. For this reason, the change in path length corresponding to the change in the paths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 is reduced. Thereby, the variation in the loads acting on the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 when the paths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 change is reduced. As a result, it becomes easy to predict the bending performance of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24.
[0113] Also, since the additional lid portion 64 can be opened and closed, operations such as threading the electric wire 22 in advance into the second electric wire accommodation space 68 are unnecessary. This facilitates the holding operation of the second electric wire 24. Also, operations such as attaching a connector to the second electric wire 24 in advance or bundling a plurality of second electric wires can be carried out beforehand. In the state before the second electric wire 24 is held by the movable path restricting component 30 for electric wires, operations such as automatically temporarily bundling a plurality of second electric wires by automatic equipment are also easy.
[0114] Also, for the main body component 32, the one at the time of basic design can be reused, so it is not necessary to start a new mold. For the lid main body portion 52 as well, since it is only necessary to add the additional surrounding portion 60 to the shape at the time of basic design, the design is easy.
[0115] In addition, the additional lid portion 64 is supported on one side thereof so as to be swingable. The mating lock portion 61p for the additional lid engages with the locking hole 65h of the additional lid locking portion 65 on the other side of the additional lid portion 64, thereby maintaining the additional lid portion 64 in a closed state. For this reason, by rotating the additional lid portion 64 around the hinge portion 63 to close the additional lid portion 64, the additional lid locking portion 65 can be easily locked to the mating lock portion 61p for the additional lid. The operation of rotating the additional lid portion 64 around the hinge portion 63 is easy to perform by mechanical work using automatic equipment.
[0116] In addition, if the hinge portion 63 is a thin-walled hinge, the additional lid portion 64 can be made of the same resin as the lid main body portion 52 by integrally forming them with a mold. This enables the hinge portion 63 to be easily formed while reducing the number of parts. Surrounding part 60 The additional lid portion 64 and the lid main body portion 52 can be made into mold-integrated parts made of the same resin. Thereby, while reducing the number of parts, the hinge portion 63 can be easily formed.
[0117] Also, if the main body component 32 is harder than the mounting component 50, the harder main body component 32 can ensure the strength of the movable path regulating component 30 for the electric wire, which is preferable for path regulation and protection of the electric wires 22 and 24. Further, the mounting component 50, which is softer than the main body component 32, is suitable for forming the hinge portion 63 as a structure for enabling the additional lid portion 64 to be opened and closed with respect to the lid main body portion 52. Further, it is suitable for forming the additional lid locking portion 65 and the mating lock portion 61p for the additional lid as a locking structure for keeping the closed state by utilizing elastic deformation.
[0118] In addition, since the additional surrounding portion 60 is formed at a position where it can be formed by a mold inside the pair of locking hole portions 54, when the additional surrounding portion 60 is formed by a mold, the pair of locking hole portions 54 can be easily formed by a mold.
[0119] Also, if the second electric wire 24 is less than the first electric wire 22, the second electric wire 24 can be easily added. Further, by accommodating the added second electric wire 24 in the second electric wire accommodating space 68, which is smaller than the first electric wire accommodating space 36, the movable range during path regulation of the second electric wire 24 is limited. This makes it easier to predict the bending performance of the second electric wire 24.
[0120] Further, since the mounting component 50 has symmetry of the regulating shape surfaces in the left - right direction and symmetry of the regulating shape surfaces in the front - rear direction, the mounting component 50 can be mounted on the main body component 32 without worrying about the orientation.
[0121] [Modification Example] A modification example will be described on the premise of the above - described embodiment. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a mounting component 150 according to the modification example. FIG. 7 is a cross - sectional view showing the mounting component 150 according to the modification example.
[0122] In the present embodiment, an additional lid portion 164 corresponding to the additional lid portion 64 is disposed between the tip ends of a pair of additional side wall portions 61 at a position away from the lid main body portion 52. The additional lid portion 164 is formed in a plate shape that draws an arc shape convex on the side opposite to the bottom plate 34 when viewed along the longitudinal direction of the additional side wall portion 61 (the penetrating direction of the second wire accommodation space 68). Therefore, in the present embodiment, an additional enclosure portion 160 corresponding to the additional enclosure portion has a U - shape in which a pair of additional side wall portions 61 are continuous at both ends of the additional lid portion 164 when viewed along the longitudinal direction of the additional side wall portion 61.
[0123] A thin - walled hinge portion 63 is formed between one side portion of the additional lid portion 164 and one of the additional side wall portions 61. The additional lid portion 164 can rotate around the hinge portion 63 to open and close. A plate - shaped additional lid locking portion 165 is formed on the other side portion of the additional lid portion 164, and a locking hole 165h is formed in the additional lid locking portion 165.
[0124] And when the additional lid portion 164 is closed, the other An additional lid mating - side locking portion 61p protruding from the outer surface of the additional side wall portion 61 is locked to the locking hole 165h. Thereby, the additional lid portion 164 is kept in a closed state.
[0125] The length of the additional enclosure part 160 in the penetrating direction of the second wire accommodation space 68 is formed so as to gradually decrease as it moves away from the main body part 32. In this modified example, a pair of additional side wall parts 61 are formed so as to gradually become narrower as they move away from the lid main body part 52. The additional lid part 64 is also formed so that its length gradually becomes shorter as it moves away from the lid main body part 52. Therefore, when looking at the additional enclosure part 160 along the width direction of the lid main body part 52, the additional enclosure part 160 has a trapezoidal shape that gradually becomes narrower as it moves away from the lid main body part 52.
[0126] For this reason, when the adjacent wire movable path regulating parts 30 are rotated in the direction of approaching the additional enclosure part 160, it becomes difficult for the adjacent additional enclosure parts 160 to interfere with each other. Thereby, the rotation range of the adjacent wire movable path regulating parts 30 can be set large.
[0127] Also, since the part of the additional enclosure part 160 on the side opposite to the main body part 32 is arc-shaped when viewed along the penetrating direction of the second wire accommodation space 68, when covering the wire movable path regulating part 30 with an exterior part such as a rubber boot, it is difficult for the additional enclosure part 160 to get caught on the exterior member 70. For this reason, it is easy to cover the exterior member 70 on the wire movable path regulating part 30. Also, Second electric wire 24 it is easy to maintain at the center in the width direction of the additional enclosure part 160.
[0128] In addition, each configuration described in the above embodiment and each modified example can be appropriately combined as long as they do not conflict with each other.
