Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to, for example, a mounting member to be attached to a band portion that holds a flat electric wire, a band clamp for a flat electric wire, and a holding structure for a flat electric wire. [Background technology]

[0002] A long wire harness that electrically connects electrical devices mounted on a vehicle is routed in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional complex routing path that combines straight and curved sections, and is attached to a vehicle body panel via a band clamp such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1.

[0003] The band clamp disclosed in Patent Document 1 will be described in detail. This band clamp can hold a wire harness by wrapping a strip-shaped band around the wire harness and inserting and tightening a tip end of the band into a buckle connected to the base end of the band. Then, the wire harness can be fixed to the vehicle body panel by inserting and fixing a fixing member (anchor) of the band clamp holding the wire harness into an insertion hole in the vehicle body panel.

[0004] In recent years, the amount of electric current required by vehicles has increased with the increase in the number of electrical devices installed in vehicles, and the diameter of the wires in the wire harnesses has also increased accordingly. However, by using flat wires in the wire harness, it is possible to prevent the wire harness from becoming too large.

[0005] However, when a flat electric wire is held by the above-mentioned band clamp, the band portion inserted into the band locking portion and fastened becomes substantially circular and cannot fit along the outer surface of the flat electric wire, which causes a gap between the band portion and the flat electric wire, causing the flat electric wire to deform to fit the shape of the band portion, and preventing the flat electric wire from being stably fixed by the band portion.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-282352 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting member, a band clamp for flat electric wires, and a holding structure for flat electric wires, which can stably fix flat electric wires with a band portion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention provides a vehicle wiring harness comprising: a band arrangement section for arranging a belt-shaped band section wound around a flat electric wire to be laid out in a vehicle; and a spacing maintaining section that is arranged between the band section wound around the flat electric wire and the flat electric wire and maintains a spacing between the band section and the flat electric wire. The band placement section is provided with a restricting section that restricts movement of the band section, and the band placement section is configured with a through hole that penetrates along the longitudinal direction of the placed band section, and an opening that communicates with the outside is provided along the longitudinal direction in the through hole in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. It is a mounting member.

[0009] The present invention also provides a band clamp having a belt-like band portion wound around a flat electric wire to be laid in a vehicle and a band locking portion for locking and fixing the band portion, and an attachment member attached to the band portion, the attachment member having a band placement portion for placing the band portion, and a spacing retaining portion that is placed between the band portion wound around the flat electric wire and the flat electric wire and maintains a spacing between the band portion and the flat electric wire. The band placement section is provided with a restricting section that restricts movement of the band section, and the band placement section is configured with a through hole that penetrates along the longitudinal direction of the placed band section, and an opening that communicates with the outside is provided along the longitudinal direction in the through hole in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. This is a band clamp for flat electric wires.

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention provides a band clamp including a flat electric wire to be routed in a vehicle, a belt-shaped band portion wound around the flat electric wire, and a band locking portion that locks and fixes the band portion, and an attachment member attached to the band portion, the attachment member having a band placement portion that places the band portion, and a spacing retaining portion that is placed between the band portion and the flat electric wire and that maintains the spacing between the band portion and the flat electric wire. The band placement section is provided with a restricting section that restricts movement of the band section, and the band placement section is configured with a through hole that penetrates along the longitudinal direction of the placed band section, and an opening that communicates with the outside is provided along the longitudinal direction in the through hole in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. This is a holding structure for flat electric wires.

[0011] The band arrangement portion may be configured to simply arrange the band portion, or to arrange the band portion and restrict movement of the band portion in the thickness direction or width direction. Note that one or more band arrangement portions may be provided along the longitudinal direction of the band portion to be arranged.

[0012] The spacing retaining portion may directly or indirectly contact the flat electric wire to retain the spacing between the band portion and the flat electric wire, i.e., may contact the flat electric wire via another member to retain the spacing between the band portion and the flat electric wire.

[0013] The spacing portion may be provided in a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction of the band portion disposed in the band placement portion. The spacing portion and the band placement portion may be provided in the same number or different numbers, and the spacing portion and the band placement portion may be integral or separate.

[0014] The restricting portion may be any portion capable of restricting movement of the band portion in the thickness direction or width direction, and may be, for example, an insertion hole through which the band portion is inserted, or a hook shape that hooks onto the outer surface of the band portion.

[0015] According to this invention, the flat electric wires can be fastened by the band portion while maintaining a gap between the flat electric wires and the band portion, so that the flat electric wires can be stably fixed by the band portion. In more detail, by disposing the spacing retaining portion between the flat electric wire and the band portion, the flat electric wire having a flat cross section can be wound with the band portion having a large bending radius. That is, since the bending radius of the band portion is larger than when the band portion is wound along the outer surface of the flat electric wire, the localized tightening by the band portion is alleviated, and deformation of the flat electric wire by the band portion can be prevented.

[0016] Furthermore, with the gap between the band portion and the flat electric wires filled with the spacing retaining portion, the outer surface of the flat electric wires can be supported by the spacing retaining portion. Therefore, the flat electric wires can be supported by the spacing retaining portion while preventing deformation of the flat electric wires due to fastening of the band portion, and therefore the flat electric wires can be stably fixed by the band portion.

[0017] Also, The band placement section is provided with a restricting section that restricts movement of the band section. There are. This prevents the mounting member from shifting relative to the band portion, thereby more stably fixing the flat electric wires with the band portion. Furthermore, when the movement of the band portion in the thickness direction is restricted, the band portion can be prevented from unintentionally falling off the mounting member, so that the flat electric wires can be reliably supported by the spacing retaining portion.

[0018] And again The band placement portion is configured with a through hole that penetrates along the longitudinal direction of the placed band portion. are. This means: Since the movement of the band portion toward the outside in the thickness direction of the band portion can be more reliably restricted, even if a reaction force in the thickness direction of the band portion acts on the band portion when the band portion is tightened, the attachment member can be prevented from falling off the band portion, and the flat electric wire can be tightened with the band portion while maintaining the shape of the band portion along the outer surface of the flat electric wire. Therefore, the flat electric wire can be fixed with the band portion more reliably and stably.

[0019] In addition, an opening communicating with the outside is provided along the longitudinal direction of the through hole in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. There are . According to this, Since the band portion can be inserted into the through-hole via the opening, the attachment member can be easily attached to the band portion, thereby improving the workability of attaching the attachment member to the band portion.

[0020] Furthermore, the present invention provides a vehicle having a band arrangement section that arranges a belt-shaped band section wound around a flat electric wire to be laid out in a vehicle, and a spacing maintaining section that is arranged between the band section wound around the flat electric wire and the flat electric wire and maintains a spacing between the band section and the flat electric wire, The band placement section is formed in an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction of the placed band section, and a plurality of the spacing retaining sections are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the band placement section. It is a mounting member. The above-mentioned phrase "the spacing maintaining portions are spaced apart at predetermined intervals" does not necessarily mean that the spacing maintaining portions are spaced at equal intervals, but also includes cases where the spacing maintaining portions are spaced at unequal intervals.

[0021] According to this invention, The band can tighten the flat wire while maintaining the gap between the flat wire and the band, so the flat wire can be stably fixed in place by the band. A plurality of spacing retaining portions are provided for the long band placement portion. That is, a single long band placement portion is provided with a plurality of spacing retaining portions. This allows the flat electric wires to be supported by the spacing retaining members while the band portion is easily placed in the band placement portion, and therefore the flat electric wires can be easily and stably fixed by the band portion.

[0022] In addition, since the flat electric wires can be supported while filling the gaps between the band portion and the flat electric wires with the multiple spacing retaining portions, deformation of the flat electric wires can be more reliably prevented and the flat electric wires can be stably fixed. Furthermore, since the multiple spacing retaining portions abut against the flat electric wires, the force acting on the flat electric wires due to tightening of the band portion can be dispersed by the spacing retaining portions, thereby further preventing deformation of the flat electric wires. Therefore, the flat electric wires can be more stably fixed by the band portion.

[0023] Furthermore, the present invention provides a vehicle having a band arrangement section that arranges a belt-shaped band section wound around a flat electric wire to be laid out in a vehicle, and a spacing maintaining section that is arranged between the band section wound around the flat electric wire and the flat electric wire and maintains a spacing between the band section and the flat electric wire, A plurality of the spacing retaining portions are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the band portion to be placed in the band placement portion, and a connecting portion is provided to connect adjacent spacing retaining portions along the longitudinal direction. It is a mounting component .

[0024] The above-mentioned phrase "the spacing maintaining portions are spaced apart at predetermined intervals" does not necessarily mean that the spacing maintaining portions are spaced at equal intervals, but also includes cases where the spacing maintaining portions are spaced at unequal intervals. The connecting portion may be capable of separating adjacent spacing portions from each other. Note that the case where adjacent spacing portions can be separated from each other includes a case where a separating mechanism for separating the spacing portions from each other is provided, or a case where the spacing portions can only be separated from each other, such as by physically cutting the connecting portion.

[0025] With this invention, The flat wire can be fastened by the band while maintaining the gap between the flat wire and the band, so the flat wire can be stably fixed by the band.Since the gaps between the band portion and the flat electric wires can be filled with the multiple spacing retaining portions, deformation of the flat electric wires can be more reliably prevented and the multiple spacing retaining portions can support the flat electric wires. Furthermore, since the multiple spacing retaining portions abut against the flat electric wires, the force acting on the flat electric wires due to tightening of the band portion can be dispersed by the spacing retaining portions, further preventing deformation of the flat electric wires. Therefore, the flat electric wires can be more stably fixed by the band portion.

[0026] Furthermore, if the adjacent spacing portions can be separated by the connecting portions, the length of the mounting member can be shortened to match the width of the flat electric wire. Therefore, the flat electric wire can be supported by an appropriate number of spacing portions, and the flat electric wire can be more stably fixed by the band portion.

[0027] As another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion may be provided with a bending promoting portion that promotes bending of the band portion that is placed in the band placement portion in the thickness direction. According to this invention, when the band portion is fastened, the mounting member can be bent so as to fit along the outer surface of the flat electric wire, so that the flat electric wire can be supported by the plurality of spacing retaining portions arranged along the outer surface of the flat electric wire, and the flat electric wire can be more reliably and stably fixed by the band portion.

[0028] Furthermore, since the mounting member can be bent along the outer surface of the flat electric wire, the distance between the band portion and the flat electric wire can be reliably maintained even at a point where the flat electric wire with a flat cross section is bent from the short direction to the long direction, thereby maintaining the bending radius of the band portion at a predetermined value and preventing deformation of the flat electric wire.

[0029] As another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion may detachably connect adjacent spacing portions to each other. According to this invention, the number of the spacing retaining portions can be increased or decreased according to the width of the flat electric wire, so that the flat electric wire can be supported by a desired number of spacing retaining portions, and therefore the flat electric wire can be more stably fixed by the band portion.

[0030] Furthermore, the position of the spacing portion can be appropriately adjusted to fit the outer surface of the flat electric wire, for example, by partially separating the connecting portions so that the spacing portion is not disposed at a location corresponding to a curved portion in the orthogonal cross section of the flat electric wire. This allows the position of the spacing portion to be adjusted to fit the cross-sectional shape of the flat electric wire, and the spacing portion can be reliably aligned along the outer surface of the flat electric wire.

[0031] The present invention also provides a band clamp including a flat electric wire to be routed in a vehicle, a belt-shaped band portion wound around the flat electric wire, and a band locking portion that locks and fixes the band portion, and an attachment member attached to the band portion, the attachment member having a band placement portion that places the band portion, and a spacing retaining portion that is placed between the band portion and the flat electric wire and that maintains a spacing between the band portion and the flat electric wire. a plurality of the spacing retaining portions are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the band portion, and a connecting portion is provided to connect adjacent spacing retaining portions, and the spacing retaining portions are arranged on both sides of the flat electric wire; This is a holding structure for flat electric wires.

[0032] With this invention, The flat wire can be fastened by the band while maintaining the gap between the flat wire and the band, so the flat wire can be stably fixed by the band. Since the band portion can be wound around the outer surface of the flat electric wire on both sides of the flat electric wire while maintaining the gap between the band portion and the flat electric wire, deformation of the flat electric wire can be more reliably prevented. [Effects of the Invention]

[0033] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mounting member capable of stably fixing a flat electric wire with a band portion, a band clamp for a flat electric wire, and a holding structure for a flat electric wire. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0040] 1, the vertical direction is defined as the insertion direction H, and the longitudinal direction of the flat electric wire 100 is defined as the extension direction L. The insertion direction H and the extension direction L are perpendicular to each other. The direction perpendicular to the insertion direction H and the extension direction L is defined as the width direction W. The lower side along the insertion direction H is defined as the insertion direction Hd, and the upper side is defined as the anti-insertion direction Hu. The directions in FIG. 1 also apply to FIGS. 2 to 4 and 8 to 10. In addition, in FIG. 1, a view seen from left to right along the width direction W is a front view.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 1, the flat electric wire holding structure 1 is composed of a flat electric wire 100 to be routed in a vehicle and a flat electric wire band clamp 10 that holds the flat electric wire 100. For convenience, only one flat electric wire band clamp 10 is shown for the flat electric wire 100 in Fig. 1, but in reality, a plurality of flat electric wire band clamps 10 are fixed to the flat electric wire 100 along the extension direction L, and each flat electric wire band clamp 10 is fixed to a body panel of the vehicle.

[0042] 3, the flat electric wire 100 has a plurality of conductor wires 110, each of which is a bundle of conducting wires, arranged along the width direction W and covered with an insulating resin insulating cover 120. An orthogonal cross section of the flat electric wire 100, which is perpendicular to the extending direction L, is formed into a substantially flat plate-like shape with its long side aligned with the width direction W and its short side aligned with the insertion direction H.

[0043] The band clamp 10 for a flat electric wire that holds the flat electric wire 100 is made up of a band clamp 20 and an attachment member 30 that is attached to the band clamp 20, as shown in FIG. As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the band clamp 20 has a vehicle body fixing portion 21 that is fixed to a vehicle body panel in a vehicle, a band portion 22 that is wound around the flat electric wire 100 that is arranged in the vehicle, and a band locking portion 23 that locks and fixes the band portion 22.

[0044] The vehicle body fixing portion 21 is a so-called anchor, and includes an insertion shaft portion 211 extending along the insertion direction H, a pair of locking arms 212, 212 provided at the tip of the insertion shaft portion 211, and an elastic flange 213 having a spherical cross section.

[0045] In this embodiment, the vehicle body fixing portion 21 is an anchor that is inserted into an insertion hole provided in the vehicle body panel to fix it, but it may also be a stud bolt that is inserted into a bolt fixed to the vehicle body panel to fix it.

[0046] 4(a), the locking arms 212, 212 have their tips connected to the tip of the insertion shaft portion 211 and extend in the width direction W. The locking arms 212, 212 gradually move away from the insertion shaft portion 211 from the tip side (insertion direction Hd side) to the base side (anti-insertion direction Hu side) of the insertion shaft portion 211.

[0047] The locking arms 212, 212 have locking claws 214 that bulge outward from the tip (end in the insertion direction Hd) of the insertion shaft portion 211. The locking claws 214 are provided with a step portion 214a that bulges outward and a tapered portion 214b that extends in the counter-insertion direction Hu. The tapered portion 214b is formed so that the thickness on the counter-insertion direction Hu side is thinner than the thickness on the insertion direction Hd side.

[0048] When the locking arms 212, 212 configured in this manner are inserted into an insertion hole provided in a vehicle body panel, the boundary between the step portion 214a and the tapered portion 214b of the locking claw 214 locks onto the edge of the insertion hole on the side of the vehicle body panel in the insertion direction Hd, and the elastic flange 213 abuts against the vehicle body panel on the side of the vehicle body panel opposite the insertion direction Hu (not shown). This allows the vehicle body fixing part 21 to be fixed to the vehicle body panel.

[0049] As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), the band portion 22 is a flexible, strip-shaped band with a tapered tip, which extends from the band engaging portion 23 toward one side in the width direction W and has a curved base end portion so that the tip faces the anti-insertion direction Hu.

[0050] On the outer surface of the band portion 22, a locking portion 221 is provided which locks and fixes the band portion 22 to the band locking portion 23 by inserting the band portion 22 around which the flat electric wire 100 is wound into the band locking portion 23. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the locking portion 221 has a groove 221a on the inner side of the width direction of the band portion 22, which is a slightly recessed outer surface, and multiple locking pieces 221b formed in an approximately triangular shape protruding toward the outer surface of the locking portion 221.

[0051] Groove 221a extends to the tip of band 22, which has a tapered shape. That is, the tip of band 22 is thinner than the base. Furthermore, a side wall 221c is formed on the widthwise outer side of band 22 in groove 221a. The tip portion of side wall 221c gradually becomes lower toward the tip, and the tip has the same plate thickness as groove 221a. The locking piece 221b has a cross section of a substantially right-angled triangle with the base end side at a substantially right angle to the groove portion 221a, and is configured so that the apex of the triangle is substantially flush with the outer surface of the vehicle body fixing portion 21.

[0052] 4(b), the band locking portion 23 integrally fixes the vehicle body fixing portion 21 and the band portion 22. More specifically, the vehicle body fixing portion 21 is fixed integrally to the lower end (end portion in the insertion direction H) of the band locking portion 23 so as to extend in the insertion direction Hd, and the band portion 22 is integrally connected to one side in the width direction W of the upper end (end portion opposite to the insertion direction Hu) of the band locking portion 23. A through-hole 231 that penetrates in the width direction W is provided in the center of the band locking portion 23 in the insertion direction H.

[0053] The through-hole 231 has an insertion opening 231a for inserting the band portion 22 on the other side in the width direction W, and an outlet 231b for withdrawing the band portion 22 on one side in the width direction W. The outlet 231b is provided below the base end of the band portion 22 (insertion direction Hd), and has approximately the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the base end side of the band portion 22 in rear view. Note that the insertion opening 231a has a shape that is slightly larger than the outlet 231b in front view.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 4(b), the through-hole 231 is provided with an elastic piece 232 inside, which protrudes from the lower end of the through-hole 231 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction Hu. The elastic piece 232 is connected to the inner wall of the through-hole 231 on the insertion direction Hd side on the other side in the width direction W, and is a protruding piece that inclines toward the anti-insertion direction Hu as it moves toward one side in the width direction W, and the thickness of the plate becomes thinner as it moves from the base end (the other side in the width direction W) to the tip end (one side in the width direction W).

[0055] A space is formed below the tip portion of the elastic piece 232 (on the insertion direction Hd side), and the elastic piece 232 can be elastically deformed in the insertion direction Hd with the base end of the elastic piece 232 as a fulcrum. 4(b), two locking pieces 232a protruding in the counter-insertion direction Hu are provided at the tip of the elastic piece 232. Each locking piece 232a has a cross section that is approximately a right-angled triangle with one side in the width direction W forming an approximately right angle.

[0056] The mounting member 30 can be attached to the band portion 22 by inserting the band portion 22 into the mounting member 30 (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), the mounting member 30 includes a band arrangement portion 31 through which the band portion 22 to be wound around the flat electric wire 100 is inserted, and a restricting portion 32 that is disposed on the outer side in the plate thickness direction of the band portion 22 inserted into the band arrangement portion 31, and is composed of a plurality of separators 40 that are connected in a predetermined direction via connecting portions 33.

[0057] 6(a) and 6(b), the separator 40 constituting the mounting member 30 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing whose width is longer than its depth, and has a through-hole 41 that penetrates along the depth direction. A separation restricting portion 42 is provided above the through-hole 41 in the height direction, and a spacing retaining portion 43 is provided below the through-hole 41 in the height direction.

[0058] Here, the depth direction refers to the left-right direction in FIG. 6(b), the width direction refers to the up-down direction in FIG. 6(b), and the height direction refers to the left-right direction in FIG. 6(a).

[0059] The length of the through hole 41 in the width direction is sufficiently longer than the width of the band portion 22, and the length of the through hole 41 in the height direction is sufficiently longer than the thickness of the band portion 22. Therefore, even a band that is wider and thicker than the band portion 22 can be inserted through the through hole 41. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a), an opening 44 that connects the through hole 41 to the outside is provided on one side of the through hole 41 in the width direction along the depth direction. The length of the opening 44 in the height direction is slightly shorter than the thickness of the band portion 22. In other words, the opening 44 is configured so that the spacing in the height direction is shorter than that of the through hole 41.

[0060] Since the through-hole 41 is provided in the center of the separator 40 in the height direction, the separation restricting portion 42 and the spacing retaining portion 43 have a predetermined thickness. That is, a predetermined distance is provided between the bottom of the spacing retaining portion 43 and the through-hole 41.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 6, the spacing portion 43 is provided with a connecting recess 45 that protrudes toward one side in the depth direction, and a connecting protrusion 46 that protrudes toward the other side in the depth direction. The connecting recess 45 is composed of a flat protruding plate 451 that protrudes from the spacing retaining portion 43 toward one side in the depth direction, and protruding pieces 452, 452 that protrude from both ends of the width of the protruding plate 451 toward one side in the depth direction.

[0062] As shown in Figures 6(b) and 7(a), the tip of the protruding piece 452 is provided with locked portions 453, 453 that protrude outward in the width direction. Then, as shown in Figure 7(a), spherical recesses 453a, 453a that are recessed outward in a hemispherical shape are provided on the inside of the locked portions 453, 453.

[0063] The connecting protrusion 46 is a plate-like body that protrudes toward the other side in the depth direction, and is configured so that the length along the width direction is approximately equal to the distance between the protruding pieces 452, 452. More specifically, the connecting protrusion 46 is composed of an inclined plate 461 that inclines downward from the spacing retaining portion 43, and a flat plate 462 that extends along the depth direction on the other side of the inclined plate 461 in the depth direction, and as shown in Figures 6(b) and 7(b), hemispherical locking protrusions 463, 463 that protrude outward in the width direction are provided at the tip of the flat plate 462. The locking protrusions 463 are hemispherical and have approximately the same radius as the spherical recess 453a.

[0064] The connecting recess 45 and connecting protrusion 46 configured in this manner can connect to each other between adjacent separators 40. Specifically, by fitting the flat plate 462 between the protruding pieces 452 and fitting the locking protrusions 463 to the locked portions 453, respectively, the adjacent separators 40 can be pivotally connected to each other with the line connecting the centers of the locking protrusions 463 serving as the pivot axis (see FIG. 7(c)).

[0065] In addition, in the connected connecting recess 45 and connecting protrusion 46, the connecting recess 45 and connecting protrusion 46 can be separated by widening the protruding pieces 452, 452 in the width direction and releasing the engagement between the engaged portions 453, 453 and the engaging protrusions 463, 463.

[0066] By connecting a plurality of separators 40 along the depth direction in this manner, it is possible to form a mounting member 30 along the depth direction (see FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b)). In this embodiment, the separator 40 (separator 40a) that constitutes one side end of the mounting member 30 in the depth direction does not have a connecting recess 45, and the separator 40 (separator 40b) that constitutes the other side end of the mounting member 30 in the depth direction does not have a connecting protrusion 46, but they may each have a connecting recess 45 and a connecting protrusion 46.

[0067] Furthermore, in the mounting member 30 in which a plurality of separators 40 are connected, the through holes 41 arranged along the depth direction form band arrangement sections 31 in which the band section 22 is inserted to arrange the band section 22. The separation restricting sections 42 form restricting sections 32 that restrict movement of the band section 22 in the width direction and upwards when inserted into the through holes 41. Furthermore, the mounting member 30 has five spacing retaining sections 43 arranged along the depth direction at predetermined intervals.

[0068] Furthermore, the connecting recesses 45 and connecting protrusions 46 that connect adjacent separators 40, 40 to each other form connecting portion 33 that detachably connects adjacent spacing retaining portions 43, 43. Also, connecting portion 33 that connects connecting recesses 45 and connecting protrusions 46 with locked portions 453 and locking protrusions 463 is provided with bending promoting portion 34 that promotes bending of adjacent separators 40 in the height direction, with a line connecting the centers of locking protrusions 463, 463 as a pivot axis.

[0069] Next, a method for holding the flat electric wire 100 with the band clamp 20 to which the mounting member 30 is attached will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in Fig. 8(a), the mounting member 30 is placed on one side of the band portion 22 in the extending direction L so that the opening 44 is aligned with the longitudinal direction (insertion direction H) of the band portion 22. Then, the mounting member 30 can be attached to the band portion 22 by inserting it into the band placement portion 31 (through hole 41) that penetrates the band portion 22 in the longitudinal direction via the opening 44. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8(b), when the mounting member 30 is attached to the band portion 22, the connecting portion 33 is located on the inner surface side of the band portion 22.

[0070] 8(b) and 9(a), the band portion 22 to which the mounting member 30 is attached is wound around the flat electric wire 100 placed on the upper surface of the band locking portion 23. At this time, three separators 40 are arranged on the surface of the flat electric wire 100 facing the anti-insertion direction Hu so that the spacing retaining portions 43 abut against it. In other words, the spacing retaining portions 43 are arranged between the flat electric wire 100 and the band portion 22, and the spacing between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 can be maintained.

[0071] 9(b), the band portion 22 is wound around the flat electric wire 100 so as to follow the outer surface of the other side in the width direction W of the flat electric wire 100. Here, the connecting portion 33 connecting adjacent separators 40 is provided with the bending promoting portion 34 formed by the locked portion 453 and the locking protrusion 463, so that the mounting member 30 can be bent in the thickness direction of the band portion 22 arranged in the band arrangement portion 31 so that the spacing maintaining portion 43 abuts against the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100.

[0072] In this way, by using the bending promoting portion 34 to bend the separator 40 along the outer surface of the mounting member 30, the separator 40 can be arranged at the other end of the flat electric wire 100 in the width direction W and also in the insertion direction Hd of the flat electric wire 100. This allows the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100 to be supported by a plurality of separators 40 along the circumferential direction.

[0073] Then, the tip of the band portion 22 wound around the flat electric wire 100 is inserted into the through-hole 231 (insertion opening 231a) and pulled to one side in the width direction W, whereby the locking piece 221b is locked to the locked piece 232a, and the band portion 22 can be locked and fixed to the band locking portion 23.

[0074] By winding the band portion 22 inserted into the band arrangement portion 31 around the flat electric wire 100 in this manner, the band portion 22 is arranged in the band arrangement portion 31, and the plurality of spacing portions 43 spaced at predetermined intervals abut against the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100. Therefore, the spacing portions 43 are arranged between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100, and can maintain the spacing between the flat electric wire 100 and the band portion 22 along the circumferential direction of the flat electric wire 100.

[0075] This prevents the band portion 22 from bending excessively compared to when the band portion 22 is wound directly around the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100. Therefore, localized tightening by the band portion 22 is alleviated, preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100. Furthermore, since the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by the plurality of spacing retaining portions 43, the flat electric wire 100 can be stably held by the band portion 22.

[0076] Moreover, since the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by the spacing retaining portions 43 provided at predetermined intervals, the flat electric wire 100 can be supported in a well-balanced manner. Furthermore, since the gap between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 can be filled by the spacing retaining portions 43, deformation of the flat electric wire 100 that would cause it to enter the gap between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 can be prevented. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be more stably held by the band portion 22.

[0077] Furthermore, the mounting member 30 has the connecting portion 33 configured to allow the separators 40 to be detachably attached, so that the number of separators 40 constituting the mounting member 30 can be increased or decreased in accordance with the flat electric wires 100 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10(a), in the case of a flat electric wire 100x that is wider and longer than the flat electric wire 100, by increasing the number of separators 40, the spacing retaining portion 43 can be reliably positioned between the flat electric wire 100x and the band portion 22.

[0078] In this case, the separator 40 can be attached to the band portion 22 wound around the flat electric wire 100x through the opening 44, so that the band clamp 20 with the mounting member 30 attached can be loosely wound around the flat electric wire 100, and then the separator 40 can be attached to the band portion 22 and connected to the mounting member 30, and the band portion 22 can be tightened.

[0079] Similarly, when reducing the separator 40 to match the width of the flat electric wire 100, the band clamp 20 to which the mounting member 30 is attached can be loosely wound around the flat electric wire 100, and then the separator 40 can be separated and removed through the opening 44, and then the band portion 22 can be tightened.

[0080] Furthermore, depending on the width of the flat electric wire 100, it may not be possible to arrange the spacing retaining portion 43 along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100. Specifically, when the band clamp 10 for a flat electric wire is wound around a flat electric wire 100y that is wider than the flat electric wire 100 but shorter than the flat electric wire 100x, adjacent spacing portions 43 may interfere with each other.

[0081] In such a case, as shown in Figure 10(b), for example, by separating two separators 40 at the tip end and three separators 40 at the base end using a connecting portion 33, the separators 40 can be positioned at a desired position, for example, at the other end of the flat electric wire 100y in the width direction W and on the other side of the flat electric wire 100y in the insertion direction Hd.

[0082] In addition, since the mounting member 30 is attached to the band portion 22 by inserting the band portion 22 into the band placement portion 31 formed by the through hole 41, the band clamp 20 to which the mounting member 30 is attached can be loosely wound around the flat electric wire 100, and then the separator 40 can be separated and the band portion 22 can be tightened.

[0083] In this way, the mounting member 30 is provided with a band placement section 31 for placing the band-shaped band section 22 that is wound around the flat electric wire 100 to be laid out in the vehicle, and a spacing retaining section 43 that is placed between the band section 22 wound around the flat electric wire 100 and the flat electric wire 100 and maintains the spacing between the band section 22 and the flat electric wire 100.

[0084] The band clamp 10 for flat electric wires is provided with a band clamp 20 having a belt-shaped band portion 22 that is wound around a flat electric wire 100 to be laid out in a vehicle and a band locking portion 23 that locks and secures the band portion 22, and an attachment member 30 attached to the band portion 22, and the attachment member 30 is provided with a band placement portion 31 that places the band portion 22, and a spacing retention portion 43 that is placed between the band portion 22 wound around the flat electric wire 100 and the flat electric wire 100 and maintains the spacing between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100.

[0085] Furthermore, the flat electric wire holding structure 1 is provided with a flat electric wire 100 to be arranged in a vehicle, a band clamp 20 having a belt-shaped band portion 22 wound around the flat electric wire 100 and a band locking portion 23 that locks and fixes the band portion 22, and an attachment member 30 attached to the band portion 22, the attachment member 30 having a band placement portion 31 for placing the band portion 22, and a spacing retention portion 43 that is placed between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 and maintains the spacing between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100.

[0086] This allows the flat electric wire 100 to be fastened by the band portion 22 while maintaining a gap between the flat electric wire 100 and the band portion 22, so that the flat electric wire 100 can be stably fixed by the band portion 22. More specifically, by disposing the spacing retaining portion 43 between the flat electric wire 100 and the band portion 22, the flat electric wire 100 having a flat cross section can be wound with the band portion 22 having a large bending radius. That is, compared to when the band portion 22 is wound along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100, the bending radius of the band portion 22 is larger, so that the local tightening by the band portion 22 is alleviated, and deformation of the flat electric wire 100 by the band portion 22 can be prevented.

[0087] Furthermore, with the gap between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 filled with the spacing retaining portion 43, the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by the spacing retaining portion 43. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by the spacing retaining portion 43 while preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100 due to fastening of the band portion 22, and therefore the flat electric wire 100 can be stably fixed by the band portion 22.

[0088] In addition, since the band placement section 31 is provided with a regulating section 32 that regulates the movement of the band section 22, it is possible to prevent the mounting member 30 from shifting position relative to the band section 22, and the flat electric wire 100 can be fixed more stably by the band section 22.

[0089] Furthermore, the band placement portion 31 is configured with through holes 41 that penetrate along the longitudinal direction of the placed band portion 22, thereby more reliably restricting movement of the band portion 22 outward in the thickness direction of the band portion 22. This prevents the attachment member 30 from falling off the band portion 22 even if a reaction force in the thickness direction of the band portion 22 acts on the band portion 22 when the band portion 22 is tightened, and allows the band portion 22 to tighten the flat electric wire 100 while maintaining the shape of the band portion 22 along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be fixed by the band portion 22 more reliably and stably.

[0090] Furthermore, openings 44 that communicate with the outside are provided along the longitudinal direction of through-hole 41 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, so that band portion 22 can be inserted into through-hole 41 via openings 44, making it possible to easily attach mounting member 30 to band portion 22. This improves the workability of attaching mounting member 30 to band portion 22.

[0091] In addition, multiple spacing retaining portions 43 are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 22 arranged in the band arrangement portion 31, and connecting portions 33 are provided to connect adjacent spacing retaining portions 43 along the longitudinal direction.

[0092] As a result, the gaps between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 can be filled by the plurality of spacing retaining portions 43, which more reliably prevents deformation of the flat electric wire 100 and allows the plurality of spacing retaining portions 43 to support the flat electric wire 100. Furthermore, since the plurality of spacing retaining portions 43 abut against the flat electric wire 100, the force acting on the flat electric wire 100 due to tightening of the band portion 22 can be dispersed by the spacing retaining portions 43, which further prevents deformation of the flat electric wire 100. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be fixed by the band portion 22 more stably.

[0093] Furthermore, since the adjacent spacing portions 43 can be separated by the connecting portions 33, the length of the mounting member 30 can be shortened to match the width of the flat electric wire 100. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by an appropriate number of spacing portions 43, and the flat electric wire 100 can be fixed by the band portion 22 more stably.

[0094] Furthermore, the connecting portion 33 is provided with bending promoting portions 34 (the locked portions 453 and the locking protrusions 463) that promote bending of the band portion 22 placed in the band placement portion 31 in the thickness direction, so that the mounting member 30 can be bent so as to fit along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100 when the band portion 22 is fastened. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by the multiple spacing retaining portions 43 placed along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100, and the flat electric wire 100 can be more reliably and stably fixed by the band portion 22.

[0095] Furthermore, since the mounting member 30 can be bent along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100, the distance between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 can be reliably maintained even at a portion where the flat electric wire 100 with a flat cross section is bent from the short direction to the long direction. Therefore, the bending radius of the band portion 22 can be maintained at a predetermined size, and deformation of the flat electric wire 100 around which the band portion 22 is wound can be prevented.

[0096] Furthermore, the connecting portion 33 detachably connects adjacent spacing portions 43 to each other, so that the number of spacing portions 43 can be increased or decreased according to the width of the flat electric wire 100, and therefore the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by a desired number of spacing portions 43. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be fixed more stably by the band portion 22 (see FIG. 10(a)).

[0097] 10(b), the connecting portions 33 can be partially separated so that the spacing portions 43 are not disposed at locations corresponding to curved portions in the orthogonal cross section of the flat electric wire 100, and the positions of the spacing portions 43 can be appropriately adjusted to fit the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100. This allows the positions of the spacing portions 43 to be adjusted to fit the cross-sectional shape of the flat electric wire 100, and the spacing portions 43 can be reliably aligned along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100.

[0098] In addition, multiple spacing retaining portions 43 are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 22, and connecting portions 33 are provided to connect adjacent spacing retaining portions 43, and the spacing retaining portions 43 are arranged on both sides of the flat electric wire 100 (the side opposite to the insertion direction Hu and the side in the insertion direction Hd).

[0099] This allows the band portion 22 to be wound around the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100 while maintaining the gap between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 on both sides of the flat electric wire 100, thereby more reliably preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100. Furthermore, by arranging the spacing retaining portion 43 in the insertion direction Hd of the flat electric wire 100, excessive bending of the band portion 22 due to the band portion 22 being locked and fixed to the band locking portion 23 can be prevented, thereby more reliably preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100.

[0100] In correspondence between the configuration of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiment, The opening corresponds to the opening 44, and similarly The flat electric wire holding structure corresponds to the flat electric wire holding structure 1, The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and many other embodiments can be obtained.

[0101] For example, in this embodiment, the band portion 22 is inserted into a through hole 41 (band placement portion 31) that penetrates the central portion of the separator 40, but this configuration is not necessarily required. For example, instead of the band placement portion 31, a configuration may be used that restricts only the movement of the band portion 22 in the width direction. Hereinafter, attachment members 30x and 30y, which are other embodiments having a configuration for restricting movement of the band portion 22, will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

[0102] Here, Fig. 11(a) shows a schematic perspective view of the mounting member 30x, Fig. 11(b) shows a schematic perspective view of another shape of the mounting member 30x, and Fig. 11(c) shows a schematic perspective view of the mounting member 30y. Furthermore, components that are substantially the same as those in the present embodiment described above are assigned the same numbers as in the present embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 11, the band portions 22 attached to the attachment members 30x and 30y are shown by dotted lines for the sake of convenience so that the positions at which they are attached can be seen.

[0103] 11(a), the mounting member 30x connects a plurality of separators 40x formed of housings. The upper surface of each separator 40x is provided with a recess 41x recessed in the height direction, and the band portion 22 can be placed in the recess 41x. The plurality of recesses 41x form a band placement portion 31x where the band portion 22 is placed, and the separators 40x below the recesses 41x form a spacing portion 43. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11(b), a recess 41x formed by recessing the top surface of the separator 40x may be provided with a movement restricting portion 411x that restricts upward movement.

[0104] In addition, in this embodiment, the separators 40 that make up the mounting member 30 each have the through holes 41 and spacing portions 43 that make up the band placement section 31, but the numbers of through holes 41 and spacing portions 43 may be different. For example, multiple spacing portions 43 may be provided for one band placement section 31. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting member 30 is not limited to this configuration in which adjacent separators 40 can be attached and detached to each other by having a connecting portion 33 formed by a connecting recess 45 and a connecting protrusion 46.

[0105] For example, as shown in Figure 11(c), the mounting member 30y may have a band placement portion 31y that is configured in an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 22, and multiple spacing retaining portions 43 that are equally spaced along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 22.

[0106] In this way, the mounting member 30y has a plurality of spacing retaining portions 43 provided in one band placement portion 31y formed in an elongated shape, so that the flat electric wires 100 can be supported by the spacing retaining portions 43 while the band portion 22 can be easily placed in the band placement portion 31. Therefore, the flat electric wires 100 can be easily and stably fixed by the band portion 22.

[0107] Moreover, since the plurality of spacing retaining portions 43 can support the flat electric wire 100 while filling the gap between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100, deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be more reliably prevented and the flat electric wire 100 can be stably fixed. Furthermore, since the plurality of spacing retaining portions 43 abut against the flat electric wire 100, the force acting on the flat electric wire 100 due to tightening of the band portion 22 can be dispersed by the spacing retaining portions 43, and deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be further prevented. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be fixed by the band portion 22 more stably.

[0108] Another embodiment of the mounting member 30z will be briefly described with reference to Figures 12(a) and 12(b). Figure 12(a) shows a schematic perspective view of the mounting member 30z, and Figure 12(b) shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the mounting member 30z cut at the center in the width direction as viewed from the width direction. Components that are substantially the same as those in the present embodiment are numbered the same as in the present embodiment, and their description will be omitted. In Figure 12(a), the band portion 22 attached to the mounting member 30z is indicated by a dotted line for convenience in order to clarify its position.

[0109] The mounting member 30z is integrally formed of a plurality (five) of continuous separators 40z, and is provided with band placement portions 31z so that the band portion 22 can be inserted therein. The separators 40z may be made of a flexible resin that is more rigid than the band portion 22, and separation restriction portions 42z that restrict movement of the band portion 22 in the thickness direction and spacing retention portions 43z that come into contact with the flat electric wires 100 are alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction.

[0110] The separation regulating portion 42z is configured as a concave portion that opens downward, and the spacing maintaining portion 43z is configured as a concave portion that opens upward.The separation regulating portion 42z and the spacing maintaining portion 43z arranged on one side of the separation regulating portion 42z in the longitudinal direction are configured as one unit via a first bridging portion 47 that connects the upper surface of the separation regulating portion 42z and the side surface of the spacing maintaining portion 43z.

[0111] On the other hand, the spacing retaining portion 43z and the separation restricting portion 42z arranged on one longitudinal side of the spacing retaining portion 43z are integrally formed via a second bridging portion 48 that connects the bottom surface of the spacing retaining portion 43z to the side surface of the separation restricting portion 42z. The separation restricting portion 42z and the spacing retaining portion 43z are arranged at a predetermined interval in the height direction, thereby forming a band arrangement portion 31z through which the band portion 22 is inserted. In addition, when the band portion 22 with the separator 40z attached is wound around the flat electric wire 100, the spacing retaining portion 43 that faces the flat electric wire 100 is configured to have a thickness greater than that of the separation restricting portion 42 (see Figure 12 (b)).

[0112] The separator 40z configured in this manner can be attached to the band portion 22 by inserting the band portion 22 into the band placement portion 31z. Since the band portion 22 and the separator 40z are flexible, the flat electric wire band clamp 10z with the separator 40z attached to the band portion 22 can be wound around the flat electric wire 100. This allows the spacing retaining portion 43z to come into contact with the flat electric wire 100, thereby retaining the spacing between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100.

[0113] By attaching the attachment member 30z to the band portion 22 in this way, the bending radius of the band portion 22 can be increased and localized tightening by the band portion 22 can be alleviated compared to when the band portion 22 is directly fitted along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100. Therefore, the attachment member 30z can support the flat electric wire 100 with the spacing retaining portion 43z while preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100 due to tightening of the band portion 22, and therefore the flat electric wire 100 can be stably fixed with the band portion 22.

[0114] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the multiple spacing portions 43 are arranged at equal intervals, but the multiple spacing portions 43 may be arranged at unequal intervals, for example, by changing the length of the connecting portion 33.

[0115] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the spacing retaining portion 43 is in direct contact with the flat electric wire 100, but for example, another member may be placed between the flat electric wire 100 and the spacing retaining portion 43, and the flat electric wire 100 may be indirectly supported by the spacing retaining portion 43.

[0116] In addition, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 33 is configured to be detachable, but for example, the connecting portion 33 may be configured not to be detachable. In this case, the connecting portion 33 may be configured to be only separable, such as by being physically cut.

[0117] Furthermore, the bending promoting portion 34 is configured to promote bending of the mounting member 30 by assembling the locked portion 453 and the locking protrusion 463, but is not limited to this configuration and may be other pivotable configurations, such as a hinge structure.

[0118] The above-described configurations can be combined as long as the desired effect is achieved. [Explanation of symbols]
