Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a clamp for fixing a wire harness to, for example, a body panel of a vehicle, and a clamp-equipped wire harness. [Background technology]

[0002] A long wire harness electrically connecting 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 body panel of the vehicle 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 a tip end of the band into a buckle connected to the base end of the band and tightening it. 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 a through-hole, which is a fixing location in the vehicle body panel.

[0004] Long wire harnesses are routed along complex routing paths and are therefore fixed to vehicle body panels using multiple band clamps. However, in recent years, the excess length of wire harnesses has been shortened in order to reduce the vehicle's weight. This has led to problems such as the inability to install other band clamps or the need for laborious installation if an installation error occurs in a band clamp.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-282352 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a clamp and a clamp-equipped wire harness that allow adjustment of the position of a fixing member relative to a fixing point on a vehicle body panel. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention relates to a clamp for fixing a wire harness to a vehicle body panel, the clamp comprising: a fixing member for fixing the wire harness to a fixing location on the vehicle body panel; a harness holding member for holding the wire harness; and a connecting member for connecting the fixing member and the harness holding member, wherein at least the connecting member is provided with a position adjustment portion for adjusting the relative position of the harness holding member with respect to the fixing member in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle body panel and intersecting a fixing direction for fixing the fixing member to the fixing location. The position adjustment portion is composed of a convex portion provided on at least one of the fixing member and the harness holding member and protruding in the fixing direction, and a concave guide groove portion provided on the connecting member and along which the convex portion is guided. The connecting member is provided with an insertion portion into which the convex portion is inserted into the guide groove portion. The connecting member is composed of a fitting portion provided with the guide groove portion and a fitted portion into which the fitting portion is fitted. The fitted portion is provided with a movement restricting portion that blocks at least a part of the insertion portion and restricts movement of the convex portion when fitted with the fitting portion. It is characterized by: The present invention also provides a clamp-equipped wire harness including the clamp described above and the wire harness held by the harness holding member.

[0008] The wire harness includes a covered electric wire formed by bundling a plurality of round electric wires, a bundle of the covered electric wires, and a flat electric wire. The fixing member includes, for example, an anchor that is inserted into an insertion hole provided in the vehicle body panel for fixing, or a stud bolt that is inserted into a bolt fixed to the vehicle body panel for fixing.

[0009] The above-mentioned direction that is perpendicular to the vehicle body panel and intersects with the fixing direction in which the fixing member is fixed to the fixing location includes not only a direction perpendicular to the fixing direction, i.e., a direction parallel to the vehicle body panel, but also a direction inclined with respect to the vehicle body panel.

[0010] The connecting member may be formed separately from the fixing member and the harness holding member, or may be formed integrally with at least one of the fixing member and the harness holding member, i.e., may be formed by combining a part of the connecting member that connects to the fixing member with a part of the connecting member that connects to the harness holding member.

[0011] The protrusion may be provided at the center of the fixing member or the harness holding member, or at a position off-center of the fixing member or the harness holding member. The protrusion may be provided so that the fixing member or the harness holding member is spaced a predetermined distance from the connecting member in a direction intersecting the fixing direction.

[0012] When the convex portion is provided on both the fixing member and the harness holding member, a plurality of the guide groove portions may be provided on the connecting member so as to correspond to the convex portion. Note that the case where a plurality of the guide groove portions are provided on the connecting member includes a case where a plurality of the guide groove portions are formed in the same direction, a case where a plurality of the guide groove portions are formed in different directions, or a case where a portion of the guide groove portions is formed in the same direction.

[0013] The fitting portion and the fitted portion may be integrally formed or may be separate. The engagement of the engaging portion with the mated portion is not particularly limited as long as they can be engaged with each other, and includes, for example, cases in which the engaging portion is engaged by sliding in a direction perpendicular to the fixing direction or in the fixing direction relative to the mated portion, or cases in which the engaging portion is engaged by pivoting relative to the mated portion.

[0014] According to this invention, since the harness holding member and the fixing member can be moved relative to each other via the position adjustment unit, even if there is an error in the attachment position of the fixing member relative to the fixing point, the position of the fixing member can be adjusted with respect to the harness holding member while the wire harness is held by the harness holding member. As a result, since the position of the fixing member can be adjusted with respect to the fixing point, the fixing member can be reliably fixed to the fixing point.

[0015] Also, The position adjustment portion is composed of a convex portion provided on at least one of the fixing member and the harness holding member and protruding in the fixing direction, and a concave guide groove portion provided on the connecting member and in which the convex portion is guided. There are .

[0016] This means: The fixing member can be moved relative to the harness holding member with a simple structure in which a convex portion on at least one of the fixing member and the harness holding member is guided into a concave guide groove on the connecting member, so that the position of the fixing member with respect to the fixing location can be easily adjusted while holding the wire harness.

[0017] Ma Ta, The connecting member is provided with an insertion portion into which the protrusion is inserted into the guide groove. are. This means: The protrusion can be easily inserted into the guide groove from the insertion portion, so that at least one of the fixing member and the harness holding member can be easily connected to the connecting member, thereby efficiently connecting the fixing member and the harness holding member to the connecting member.

[0018] Also, The connecting member is composed of a fitting portion provided with the guide groove portion and a fitted portion into which the fitting portion is fitted, and the fitted portion is provided with a movement restricting portion that blocks at least a part of the insertion portion and restricts movement of the protrusion when the fitting portion is fitted with the fitting portion. There are.

[0019] This means: When the mating portion and the mated portion are mated, the movement restricting portion can block at least a portion of the insertion portion, thereby preventing the protrusion from falling out of the guide groove while restricting excessive movement of the protrusion along the guide groove when the harness holding member is assembled to the mating portion.

[0020] In another aspect of the present invention, the fitting portion and the fitted portion may be connected by a pivot portion. The pivot portion may be integral with the fitting portion and the fitted portion, or may be pivotally configured by combining the fitting portion and the fitted portion. That is, the connecting member may be configured such that the fitting portion and the fitted portion are integral with or separate from each other via the pivot portion.

[0021] According to this invention, since the mating portion and the mated portion can be easily and reliably mated, the harness holding member that holds the wire harness can be easily connected to the fixing member. That is, the efficiency of the work of connecting at least one of the fixing member and the harness holding member to the connecting member can be improved. Furthermore, if the mating portion and the mated portion are configured integrally via a pivot portion, the number of parts can be reduced.

[0022] In another aspect of the present invention, the insertion portion may be provided on the fitting portion on the opposite side to the pivot portion. The insertion portion is provided on the opposite side to the pivot portion with respect to the central portion of the fitting portion as a base point. In other words, the insertion portion faces the pivot portion with respect to the central portion of the fitting portion as a base point.

[0023] According to this invention, since the insertion portion is provided on the opposite side of the pivot portion, i.e., the insertion portion is provided on the tip side in the pivot direction around the pivot portion as the pivot axis, the movement restricting portion can be reliably fitted to the insertion portion during pivoting. Therefore, the insertion portion can be reliably blocked by the movement restricting portion simply by fitting the fitting portion and the fitted portion together around the pivot portion as the pivot axis.

[0024] In another aspect of the present invention, an engaging portion may be provided on one of the convex portion and the mated portion, and an engaged portion that engages with the engaging portion may be provided on the other of the convex portion and the mated portion, and the engaging portion and the engaged portion may be engaged and fixed by pressing the harness holding member toward the fixing member along the fixing direction.

[0025] The engaging portion and the engaged portion may be capable of fixing the convex portion and the engaged portion together, and may include, for example, a structure that can fix the convex portion and the engaged portion together by fitting or locking one of the convex portion or the engaged portion into the other.

[0026] According to this invention, by pressing the fixing member in the fixing direction via the harness holding member and fixing it to the fixing location, the engaging portion and the engaged portion are engaged with each other and fixed. This allows the fixing member and the harness holding member, which are movable relative to each other, to be fixed. Therefore, movement of the harness holding member relative to the fixing member due to vehicle vibrations, etc. can be prevented, loads can be prevented from being applied to the wire harness, and abnormal noise can be prevented.

[0027] As another aspect of the present invention, the guide grooves may be provided radially from a base point of the connecting member. The base point of the connecting member mentioned above includes the midpoint of the connecting member, more specifically, when the center of the fixing member and the center of the holding member are arranged on a straight line along the fixing direction, the midpoint that is the center of the connecting member arranged on the straight line, as well as base points other than the midpoint.

[0028] When the base point of the connecting member is located at the midpoint, the guide grooves can be uniformly extended radially from the midpoint. On the other hand, when the base point is a point other than the midpoint, the lengths of the guide grooves extending radially from the base point in a predetermined direction can be adjusted.

[0029] According to this invention, the convex portions can be guided by the guide grooves arranged radially, which means that the harness holding member and the fixing member can be moved relative to each other in various directions, which can accommodate various misalignments between the fixing member and the fixing point, and allows the fixing member to be inserted reliably into the fixing point.

[0030] As another aspect of the present invention, a position restricting portion may be provided that restricts the position of the convex portion disposed in the central portion of the guide groove portion. According to this invention, since the convex portion is located in the central portion when the harness holding member and the fixing member are connected, the distance of relative movement between the harness holding member and the fixing member can be reduced when fixing the fixing member to the fixing location. This allows the fixing member to be fixed to the fixing location efficiently. In addition, noise can be prevented from being generated during transportation of the wire harness to which the clamp is attached.

[0031] In another aspect of the present invention, the wire harness may be made up of flat electric wires. According to this invention, the bulkiness of the flat electric wire in the plate thickness direction can be reduced, thereby enabling effective use of space. Furthermore, when the position adjustment part adjusts the relative position of the harness holding member with respect to the fixing member in the width direction that intersects the longitudinal direction and fixing direction of the flat electric wire, the positions of the fixing points and the fixing member can be reliably adjusted even for flat electric wires that are difficult to deform in the width direction, so that the fixing member can be easily inserted into the fixing point and fixed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0032] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a clamp and a clamp-equipped wire harness that allow adjustment of the position of a fixing member relative to a fixing point on a vehicle body panel. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0041] 1, the up-down direction is defined as a height direction H, and the longitudinal direction of the flat electric wire 100 is defined as an extension direction L. The height direction H and the extension direction L are perpendicular to each other. The direction perpendicular to the height direction H and the extension direction L is defined as a width direction W. The lower side along the height direction H is defined as an insertion direction Hd, and the upper side along the height direction H is defined as a counter-insertion direction Hu. The directions in FIG. 1 also apply to FIGS.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 1, the clamp-equipped wire harness 1 is composed of clamps 10 and flat electric wires 100 held by the clamps 10. This clamp-equipped wire harness 1 can fix the flat electric wires 100 to a vehicle and route them by fixing the clamps 10 to a vehicle body panel P. Note that, for convenience, only one clamp 10 is shown for the flat electric wire 100 in Fig. 1, but in reality, a plurality of clamps 10 are fixed to the flat electric wire 100 along the extending direction L, and each clamp 10 is fixed to the vehicle body panel P.

[0043] 3, the flat electric wire 100 is composed of a conductor electric wire 110 formed by bundling a plurality of conductor wires arranged along the width direction W, and an insulating coating 120 made of insulating resin that covers the conductor electric wire 110. An orthogonal cross section of the flat electric wire 100 that is orthogonal to the extension direction L is formed in a substantially flat plate shape with its long sides aligned with the width direction W and its short sides aligned with the height direction H.

[0044] 2, the clamp 10 for fixing the flat electric wire 100 to the vehicle body panel P is made up of a harness holding member 20 for holding the flat electric wire 100, a fixing member 30 for fixing the flat electric wire 100 by inserting it into an insertion hole P1 in the vehicle body panel P, and a connecting member 40 for connecting the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30. In this embodiment, the fixing member 30 and the connecting member 40 are integrally formed.

[0045] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the harness holding member 20 is composed of a flat plate-shaped mounting portion 21, a base 22 provided in the central part of the bottom surface of the mounting portion 21, and a guide protrusion 23 protruding from the base 22 in the insertion direction Hd.

[0046] The placing portion 21 is a flat plate extending along the extending direction L and having a width slightly shorter than the width (length in the width direction W) of the flat electric wire 100, and is provided at both ends in the extending direction L with protruding portions 211, 211 protruding outward in the width direction W. In addition, the placing portion 21 is provided at the center in the extending direction L with width restricting portions 212, 212 protruding in the anti-insertion direction Hu.

[0047] The protrusions 211, 211 are protrusions that lock the mounting portion 21 on which the flat electric wire 100 is mounted and the fixing tape T that is wound around the flat electric wire 100 (see FIG. 1). The width restriction portions 212, 212 protrude slightly in the width direction W from the central portion of the placing portion 21 in the extension direction L and also protrude in the anti-insertion direction Hu. The distance between the width restriction portions 212, 212 is configured to be equal to the width of the flat electric wire 100, and the length of the width restriction portions 212 in the height direction H is configured to be slightly shorter than the plate thickness of the flat electric wire 100. The width restriction portions 212, 212 can restrict movement of the flat electric wire 100 placed on the placing portion 21 in the width direction W.

[0048] As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), the base 22 is composed of six inclined ribs 221 that incline toward the insertion direction Hd as they approach the central part of the extension direction L, and a flat portion 222 formed on the insertion direction Hd side of the inclined ribs 221.

[0049] The inclined ribs 221 are provided on one side and the other side in the extension direction L with respect to the central portion of the mounting portion 21 as the center. These inclined ribs 221 are arranged in groups of three at predetermined intervals along the width direction W. The outer end portions of the inclined ribs 221 in the extension direction L are arranged further outward in the extension direction L than the outer end of the width restriction portion 212.

[0050] As shown in Fig. 4(a), the flat portion 222 is a plane parallel to the mounting portion 21 and is provided in the center of the mounting portion 21. The length of this flat portion 222 along the extension direction L is about one-third of the length of the width restriction portion 212, and the flat portion 222 is configured in a rectangular shape when viewed from the bottom with its long sides along the width direction W. At the center of this flat portion 222, a guide protrusion 23 protrudes in the insertion direction Hd (see Fig. 4(b)).

[0051] The guide protrusion 23 is composed of a cylindrical shaft portion 231 protruding from the center of the flat portion 222 in the insertion direction Hd, and an approximately rectangular engaging plate 232 provided at the tip of the shaft portion 231, and is provided with a cylindrical mating protrusion 233 protruding from the center of the engaging plate 232 in the insertion direction Hd.

[0052] 4(a) and 4(b), the shaft portion 231 is a cylinder having a radius that is approximately one-sixth the length in the width direction W of the flat portion 222. The locked plate 232 is configured as a flat plate that is approximately square in bottom view and has sides that are approximately twice the diameter of the shaft portion 231. In addition, the fitting protrusion 233 that protrudes downward from the locked plate 232 is a cylinder having a radius that is shorter than the radius of the shaft portion 231.

[0053] The fixing member 30 is a so-called anchor, and comprises an insertion shaft portion 31 extending in the insertion direction Hd, a pair of locking arms 32, 32 provided at the tip of the insertion shaft portion 31, and an elastic flange 33 having a spherical cross section.

[0054] 5(b), the locking arms 32, 32 have their tips connected to the tip of the insertion shaft 31 and extend in the width direction W. The locking arms 32, 32 gradually move away from the insertion shaft 31 from the tip side (insertion direction Hd side) to the base side (anti-insertion direction Hu side) of the insertion shaft 31.

[0055] The locking arms 32, 32 have locking claws 34 that bulge outward from the tip (end in the insertion direction Hd) of the insertion shaft portion 31. The locking claws 34 are provided with a step portion 341 that bulges outward and a tapered portion 342 that extends in the counter-insertion direction Hu. The tapered portion 342 is formed so that the thickness on the counter-insertion direction Hu side is thinner than the thickness in the insertion direction Hd.

[0056] When the locking arms 32, 32 configured in this manner are inserted into the insertion hole P1 and attached to the vehicle body panel P, the boundary between the step portion 341 and the tapered portion 342 of the locking claw 34 is locked onto the edge of the insertion hole P1 on the side of the vehicle body panel P in the insertion direction Hd, and the vehicle body panel P abuts against the elastic flange 33 on the side of the vehicle body panel P opposite the insertion direction Hu, thereby fixing the locking member 30 to the vehicle body panel P (see Figure 8(c)).

[0057] 2, 5, and 6, the connecting member 40 is a housing having a substantially square shape in plan view with the fixing member 30 fixed to the bottom, and is composed of a fitting portion 50 and a fitted portion 60 that fit together, and a pivot portion 70 that connects the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60. The pivot portion 70 connects the fitting portion 50 to the fitted portion 60 so that the fitting portion 50 can pivot.

[0058] The mating portion 50 is a housing configured in a roughly square shape in plan view, with the mating portion 60 side open when mated with the mated portion 60, and is connected to the mated portion 60 via a pivot portion 70 provided on one side in the width direction W, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.

[0059] The other end of the fitting portion 50 in the width direction W is provided with locking protrusions 51, 51 that lock onto the fitted portion 60 in the fitted state. Also, a guide recess 52 that is cross-shaped in plan view and penetrates in the plate thickness direction (height direction H) is formed on the upper surface portion 50a of the fitting portion 50 in the fitted state.

[0060] As shown in Figure 5(b), the locking protrusions 51, 51 are protrusions that protrude outward by a length approximately equal to the thickness of the vertical wall 61 described later, and the surface on the mating portion 60 side in the mated state is inclined toward one side in the width direction W (the side where the pivot portion 70 is provided) as it moves toward the anti-insertion direction Hu.

[0061] As shown in Figures 6(a) and 6(b), when the mating portion 50 and the mated portion 60 are open so that the upper surface portion 50a and the bottom surface portion 63 described later are parallel (hereinafter referred to as the "non-mated state"), the guide recess 52 is composed of a first groove portion 521 provided in the anti-insertion direction Hu and a second groove portion 522 provided in the insertion direction Hd.

[0062] The first groove portion 521 is a groove having a width slightly longer than one side of the locked plate 232 . The second groove portion 522 is a groove having a width longer than the diameter of the shaft portion 231 and sufficiently shorter than the side of the locked plate 232 .

[0063] That is, when viewed from the direction along the groove, the guide recess 52 is formed as a two-stage groove in which the second groove portion 522 configured in the insertion direction Hd protrudes further inward than the first groove portion 521 configured in the anti-insertion direction Hu.

[0064] As shown in FIGS. 5(a), 6(a) and 6(b), the second groove portion 522 is provided with four pairs of position restriction portions 53, 53 that protrude toward the inside of the groove at the cross intersection. More specifically, the position restriction portions 53, 53 protrude opposite each other toward the inside of the second groove portion 522 at the cross portion of the second groove portion 522 along the width direction W and the extension direction L. More specifically, in the second groove portion 522 along the width direction W, four position restriction portions 53 protrude along the extension direction L, sandwiching the cross intersection portion, and in the second groove portion 522 along the extension direction L, four position restriction portions 53 protrude along the width direction W, sandwiching the cross intersection portion.

[0065] The distance between the opposing position restriction portions 53, 53 is configured to be approximately the same length as the diameter of the shaft portion 231. Both ends of the position restriction portions 53, 53 are inclined so that they have a generally trapezoidal shape in a plan view that tapers toward the protruding direction (not shown).

[0066] On the other side of the guide recess 52 configured in this manner in the width direction W, in other words, at a position opposite the pivot portion 70, an insertion opening 523 is provided that communicates with the outside of the fitting portion 50 in the width direction W. More specifically, the insertion opening 523 is provided on the opposite side to the side on which the pivot part 70 is provided, with respect to a plane along the extension direction L that passes through the center of the fitting part 50. In other words, the insertion opening 523 faces the pivot part 70, with the plane along the extension direction L that passes through the center of the fitting part 50 as a plane of symmetry.

[0067] The insertion opening 523 is provided along the width direction W at a position facing the pivot part 70, and the spacing between the grooves becomes wider toward the other side in the width direction W. Note that there is a space formed by the guide recess 52 on one side of the insertion opening 523 in the width direction W.

[0068] The mated portion 60 is a frame body that is slightly larger than the mating portion 50, has an opening in the anti-insertion direction Hu in the non-mated state, and is composed of a vertical wall 61 along the extending direction L, horizontal walls 62, 62 extending from both ends of the vertical wall 61 in the extending direction L along the width direction W, and a bottom surface portion 63 that is integrally connected to the fixing member 30. That is, as shown in Figures 5(a), 6(a), and 6(b), the mated portion 60 is a frame body that is formed in a U-shape in a plan view and has openings on the other side in the width direction W and in the anti-insertion direction Hu.

[0069] The vertical wall 61 and the horizontal walls 62, 62 are configured to be slightly longer than the length of the corresponding sides of the fitting portion 50 so that the fitting portion 50 can be fitted into the fitted portion 60. Furthermore, the heights of the vertical wall 61 and the horizontal walls 62, 62 are configured so that the upper surface portion 50a and the upper end of the vertical wall 61 are flush with each other when the fitting portion 50 is fitted into the fitted portion 60.

[0070] As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 6(a), a movement restricting portion 64 that protrudes toward the other side in the width direction W is provided at the center portion of the vertical wall 61 in the extending direction L. When viewed in a plane, the movement restricting portion 64 has a tapered shape that slopes inward in the extension direction L as it moves toward the other side in the width direction W, and fits into the insertion opening 523 when fitted with the fitting portion 50.

[0071] Furthermore, the vertical wall 61 is provided with locking windows 65, 65 penetrating in the thickness direction on either side of the movement restricting portion 64. These locking windows 65, 65 are configured to lock onto the locking protrusions 51, 51 when the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 are fitted together (see FIG. 2).

[0072] The bottom surface portion 63 constitutes the bottom surface of the connecting member 40, and as shown in Figures 5(b) and 6(b), the fixing member 30 is integrally connected to the central portion in the insertion direction Hd, and the pivot portion 70 is integrally connected to one side in the width direction W. In addition, a plurality of engagement recesses 66 that are formed in a concave shape and have a circular shape in a plan view are provided on the bottom surface portion 63 in the anti-insertion direction Hu (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b)).

[0073] The engagement recess 66 is a cylindrical recess having a diameter slightly smaller than that of the fitting protrusion 233. The depth of the engagement recess 66 is approximately equal to half the height of the fitting protrusion 233. 6(a), four engaging recesses 66 configured in this manner are provided at predetermined intervals along the extension direction L and the width direction W, with one recessed portion located at the center of the bottom surface portion 63. That is, the engaging recesses 66 are arranged in a cross shape in the anti-insertion direction Hu of the bottom surface portion 63.

[0074] Next, a method for attaching the flat electric wire 100 to the clamp 10 configured as above and fixing the clamp 10 to the vehicle body panel P will be briefly described with reference to FIGS. First, the mounting portion 21 is placed at a predetermined position on the flat electric wire 100, and the fixing tape T is wound around the flat electric wire 100 and the mounting portion 21 so that the fixing tape T is engaged with the protruding portion 211. In this way, the flat electric wire 100 can be fixed to the harness holding member 20.

[0075] Next, as shown in Figure 7(a), the mating portion 50 and the mated portion 60 are placed in a non-mated state, and the harness holding member 20 is positioned on the other side of the mating portion 50 in the width direction W so that the guide protrusion 23 in the harness holding member 20 to which the flat electric wire 100 is fixed is positioned corresponding to the guide recess 52.

[0076] Then, at a position where the locked plate 232 corresponds to the first groove 521 and the shaft 231 corresponds to the second groove 522, the harness holding member 20 is moved relative to the fitting portion 50 in the width direction W, and the guide protrusion 23 is inserted into the guiding recess 52 through the insertion opening 523. This allows the harness holding member 20 to be assembled to the fitting portion 50 so that the locked plate 232 and the shaft 231 are guided along the first groove 521 and the second groove 522, and the guide protrusion 23 can move along the guiding recess 52.

[0077] Furthermore, the guide protrusion 23 is slid along the guide recess 52 so that the guide protrusion 23 passes over the position restricting portions 53, 53 and is positioned in the center of the guide recess 52. Here, the distance between the position restricting portions 53, 53 is approximately the same as the diameter of the shaft portion 231, so the position of the guide protrusion 23 positioned in the center can be restricted so as not to move unintentionally. Therefore, unintentional relative movement of the harness holding member 20 can be suppressed, and the harness holding member 20 can be positioned in the center of the fitting portion 50 (see FIG. 7(b)).

[0078] Next, by pivoting the fitted portion 60 relative to the fitting portion 50, the locking protrusions 51 are locked in the locking windows 65, and the fitting portion 50 can be fitted inside the fitted portion 60 (see FIGS. 7(b) and 7(c)). At this time, the movement restricting portion 64 is fitted into the insertion opening 523 that is arranged opposite the pivoting portion 70, so that the harness holding member 20 can be prevented from falling out of the insertion opening 523, and a cross-shaped guide recess 52 having the same length in the width direction W and the extension direction L is formed. This makes it possible to restrict excessive movement of the guide protrusions 23 along the guide recess 52.

[0079] Furthermore, since the guide recess 52 is formed along the width direction W on one side of the insertion opening 523 in the width direction W, when the fitted portion 60 is pivoted relative to the fitting portion 50, the movement restricting portion 64 can be reliably fitted into the insertion opening 523 without interfering with the outer frame of the guide recess 52. In other words, the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 can be fitted together easily and reliably. The engaging recess 66 provided on the bottom surface portion 63 is positioned to correspond to the guide recess 52 along the width direction W and the extension direction L when the engaging portion 50 and the engaged portion 60 are engaged with each other.

[0080] In this way, by assembling the guide protrusions 23 into the guide recesses 52 and pivoting the fitted portions 60 relative to the fitting portions 50 to fit them, the harness holding member 20 holding the flat electric wires 100 and the fixing member 30 can be connected via the connecting members 40. That is, a clamp-equipped wire harness 1 in which the flat electric wires 100 are held by the clamps 10 can be obtained.

[0081] Furthermore, when the harness holding member 20 is connected to the connecting member 40, the guide protrusion 23, which is movable along the guide recess 52, and the guide recess 52 constitute a position adjustment section 80 that can move the harness holding member 20 relative to the fixed member 30 in the width direction W or extension direction L, thereby adjusting the relative position of the harness holding member 20 with respect to the fixed member 30.

[0082] Here, when the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 are assembled, the guide recesses 52 are arranged on a straight line connecting the centers of the placing portion 21 and the insertion shaft portion 31 in the height direction H, and extend radially from the midpoint of the fitting portion 50 in the extension direction L and width direction W. Note that the engagement recesses 66 arranged in the central portion of the fitted portion 60 are also arranged on a straight line connecting the centers of the placing portion 21 and the insertion shaft portion 31 in the height direction H.

[0083] Next, a method for adjusting the position of the harness holding member 20 relative to the fixing member 30 using the position adjusting portion 80 and fixing the fixing member 30 to the insertion hole P1 in the vehicle body panel P will be described with reference to FIG. A plurality of clamps 10 are fixed to the flat electric wire 100, and each clamp 10 is inserted into an insertion hole P1 to arrange the flat electric wire 100 in the vehicle body panel P. Here, when one clamp 10 is inserted into a predetermined insertion hole P1 and fixed, an installation error may occur between the fixing member 30 of another clamp 10 and the corresponding insertion hole P1.

[0084] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8(a), when the harness holding member 20 is positioned at the center of the connecting member 40, in other words, when the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 are arranged in a straight line along the height direction H, the fixing member 30 may be misaligned to the other side in the width direction W relative to the insertion hole P1.

[0085] In particular, unlike a round electric wire, the flat electric wire 100 configured in a flat plate shape can be deformed somewhat in the extension direction L, but is difficult to deform in the width direction W, so it is difficult to correct positional deviation in the width direction W by deforming the flat electric wire 100 in the width direction W.

[0086] In response to such misalignment of the fixing member 30 with respect to the insertion hole P1, the harness holding member 20 can be moved along the guide recess 52 to the other side in the width direction W, thereby moving the fixing member 30 relative to the harness holding member 20 to one side in the width direction W (see FIG. 8(b)). This absorbs the attachment error between the fixing member 30 and the insertion hole P1, and allows the fixing member 30 to be positioned in the anti-insertion direction Hu of the insertion hole P1.

[0087] In addition, since the base 22 is formed so as to tilt inward in the extending direction L as it moves toward the insertion direction Hd, it is possible to reduce the contact area between the base 22 and the connecting member 40. As a result, when the fixing member 30 is moved relative to the harness holding member 20, it is possible to reduce the resistance between the base 22 and the connecting member 40 (fitting portion 50).

[0088] In this state, the harness holding member 20 holding the flat electric wires 100 is pressed in the insertion direction Hd so that the insertion shaft portion 31 faces the insertion hole P1. As a result, the locking arm 32 is elastically deformed and inserted into the insertion hole P1, and the step portion 341 passes over the insertion hole P1, so that the boundary portion between the step portion 341 and the tapered portion 342 is locked to the edge of the insertion hole P1 on the insertion direction Hd side of the vehicle body panel P. In addition, the vehicle body panel P abuts against the elastic flange 33 on the side of the vehicle body panel P opposite to the insertion direction Hu, so that the fixing member 30 can be fixed to the vehicle body panel P (see FIG. 8(c)).

[0089] Furthermore, before the fixing member 30 is fixed to the insertion hole P1, the guide protrusions 23 are arranged in the anti-insertion direction Hu of the multiple engagement recesses 66 provided on the bottom surface portion 63 (see FIGS. 9(a) and 9(b)). In this state, by pressing the harness holding member 20 holding the flat electric wires 100 in the insertion direction Hd so that the insertion shaft portion 31 faces the insertion hole P1, the guide protrusions 23 are press-fitted into the engagement recesses 66 as shown in FIGS. 9(c) and 9(d). Therefore, by pressing the harness holding member 20 holding the flat electric wires 100 in the insertion direction Hd, the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 can also be fixed together.

[0090] The clamp 10 that fixes the flat electric wire 100 to the vehicle body panel P in this manner includes a fixing member 30 that fixes it to the insertion hole P1 in the vehicle body panel P, a harness holding member 20 that holds the flat electric wire 100, and a connecting member 40 that connects the fixing member 30 and the harness holding member 20, and at least the connecting member 40 is provided with a position adjustment portion 80 that adjusts the relative position of the harness holding member 20 to the fixing member 30 in a direction (extension direction L or width direction W) that is perpendicular to the vehicle body panel P and intersects with the height direction H, which is the direction in which the fixing member 30 is fixed to the insertion hole P1.

[0091] As a result, the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 can be moved relative to each other via the position adjustment unit 80, so that even if there is an error in the attachment position of the fixing member 30 relative to the insertion hole P1 as shown in Fig. 8, the position of the fixing member 30 can be adjusted relative to the harness holding member 20 while the flat electric wires 100 are held by the harness holding member 20. In this way, since the position of the fixing member 30 relative to the insertion hole P1 can be adjusted, the fixing member 30 can be reliably fixed to the insertion hole P1.

[0092] The position adjustment section 80 is composed of a guide protrusion 23 provided on the harness holding member 20 and protruding in the insertion direction Hd, and a concave guide recess 52 provided on the connecting member 40 for guiding the guide protrusion 23. This allows the fixing member 30 to move relatively to the harness holding member 20 with a simple structure in which the guide protrusion 23 provided on the harness holding member 20 is guided by the concave guide recess 52 provided on the connecting member 40. Therefore, the position of the fixing member 30 with respect to the insertion hole P1 can be easily adjusted while holding the flat electric wire 100.

[0093] The connecting member 40 is also provided with an insertion opening 523 for inserting the guide protrusion 23 into the guide recess 52. This allows the guide protrusion 23 to be easily inserted into the guide recess 52 from the insertion opening 523, making it possible to easily connect the harness holding member 20 to the connecting member 40. This allows the work of assembling the harness holding member 20 to the connecting member 40 to be carried out efficiently.

[0094] Furthermore, the connecting member 40 is composed of an engaging portion 50 having a guide recess 52 and an engaged portion 60 into which the engaging portion 50 is engaged, and the engaged portion 60 is provided with a movement restricting portion 64 that blocks the insertion opening 523 and restricts the movement of the guide protrusion 23 when engaged with the engaging portion 50.

[0095] As a result, when the mating portion 50 and the mated portion 60 are mated, the movement restricting portion 64 can block the insertion opening 523, and when the harness holding member 20 is assembled to the mating portion 50, the guide protrusion 23 can be prevented from falling off from the guide recess 52 while restricting the guide protrusion 23 from moving excessively along the guide recess 52.

[0096] Furthermore, since the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 are connected by the pivot portion 70, the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 can be easily and reliably fitted together by pivoting the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60, and the harness holding member 20 held by the flat electric wire 100 can be easily connected to the fixing member 30. In other words, the work efficiency of assembling the harness holding member 20 to the connecting member 40 can be improved. Furthermore, since the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 are configured integrally via the pivot portion 70, the number of parts can be reduced.

[0097] Furthermore, an insertion opening 523 is provided in the fitting portion 50 on the opposite side to the pivot portion 70. That is, since the insertion opening 523 is provided on the tip side in the pivot direction about the pivot portion 70 as the pivot axis, the movement restricting portion 64 can be reliably fitted into the insertion opening 523 during pivoting operation about the pivot portion 70 as the pivot axis. Therefore, the insertion opening 523 can be reliably blocked by the movement restricting portion 64 simply by fitting the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 together about the pivot portion 70 as the pivot axis.

[0098] In addition, an engaging protrusion 233 is provided on the guide convex portion 23, and an engaging recess 66 is provided on the mated portion 60, which engages with the engaging protrusion 233 by press-fitting, and the engaging protrusion 233 and the engaging recess 66 are engaged and fixed by pressing the harness holding member 20 toward the fixing member 30 along the height direction H.

[0099] According to this, by pressing the fixing member 30 in the insertion direction Hd via the harness holding member 20 and inserting and fixing the fixing member 30 into the insertion hole P1, the fitting protrusion 233 and the engaging recess 66 are engaged with each other and fixed (see FIG. 9). That is, the fixing member 30 and the harness holding member 20, which are relatively movable, can be fixed. Therefore, movement of the harness holding member 20 relative to the fixing member 30 due to vibrations of the vehicle or the like can be prevented, and loads on the flat electric wires 100 can be prevented, as well as the generation of abnormal noise.

[0100] The guide recesses 52 are arranged in a cross shape that radiates from the midpoint of the fitting portion 50, which is located on a straight line connecting the centers of the mounting portion 21 and the insertion shaft portion 31 along the height direction H. This allows the guide protrusions 23 to be guided by the guide recesses 52 that are arranged radially. That is, since the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 can be moved relative to each other in the extension direction L and the width direction W, it is possible to accommodate various misalignments between the fixing member 30 and the insertion hole P1, and the fixing member 30 can be reliably inserted into the insertion hole P1.

[0101] Furthermore, the clamp 10 has a position restricting portion 53 that restricts the position of the guide protrusion 23 that is located in the center portion of the guide recess 52. As a result, when the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 are connected, the guide protrusion 23 is located in the center portion. Therefore, when the fixing member 30 is inserted into the insertion hole P1, the distance of relative movement between the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 can be reduced. Therefore, the work of inserting the fixing member 30 into the insertion hole P1 can be performed efficiently. In addition, the generation of abnormal noise can be prevented during transportation of the flat electric wire 100 to which the clamp 10 is attached.

[0102] Furthermore, the flat electric wire 100 is configured to have a flat cross section. This reduces the bulkiness of the flat electric wire 100 in the plate thickness direction, thereby enabling effective use of space. Furthermore, the flat electric wire 100 has a structure that makes it difficult for its shape to change in the width direction W that intersects with the longitudinal direction (extension direction L) and height direction H of the flat electric wire 100. However, since the position adjustment portion 80 can adjust the relative position of the harness holding member 20 with respect to the fixing member 30 along the width direction W, the fixing member 30 can be easily inserted into the insertion hole P1 and fixed in place in the width direction W as well.

[0103] In the correspondence between the configuration of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiment, the wire harness corresponds to the flat electric wire 100, and similarly, The fixing point corresponds to the insertion hole P1, The fixing direction corresponds to the height direction H, The protrusion corresponds to the guide protrusion 23, The guide groove corresponds to the guide recess 52, The insertion portion corresponds to the insertion port 523, The engaging portion corresponds to the fitting protrusion 233, The engaged portion corresponds to the engaging recess 66, The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and many other embodiments can be obtained.

[0104] For example, in this embodiment, the wire harness is made of the flat electric wire 100 having a flat cross section, but the flat electric wire 100 may be replaced with a covered electric wire made by bundling a plurality of round electric wires or a bundle of the covered electric wires. In addition, in this embodiment, the fixing member 30 is an anchor that is inserted into an insertion hole P1 provided in the vehicle body panel P to fix it, but it may also be a stud bolt that is inserted into a bolt fixed to the vehicle body panel P to fix it.

[0105] In addition, in this embodiment, the guide recess 52 can move the harness holding member 20 relative to the fixing member 30 along the extension direction L or width direction W perpendicular to the height direction H, but it can also move relative to the fixing member 30 not only in a direction parallel to the vehicle body panel P but also in a direction inclined relative to the vehicle body panel P.

[0106] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed member 30 and the connecting member 40 (fitted portion 60) are configured as a single unit, and the harness holding member 20 is configured as a separate body, but the harness holding member 20 may be configured as a single unit with the connecting member 40 (fitted portion 50). In this case, a configuration corresponding to the guide protrusion 23 may be provided on the fixed member 30, and a configuration corresponding to the guide recess 52 may be provided on the fitted portion 60.

[0107] Furthermore, the connecting member 40 may be formed by fitting a fitted portion 60 provided with a guide groove portion that guides a structure corresponding to the guide protrusion 23 provided on the fixing member 30 to a fitting portion 50 having a guide recess 52 that guides the guide protrusion 23. In other words, the fixing member 30 and the harness holding member 20 may each move relative to the connecting member 40. In this case, the guide recess 52 provided in the fitting portion 50 and the guide groove portion provided in the fitted portion 60 may be formed along the same direction, or along different directions, or may be partially formed along the same direction.

[0108] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness holding member 20 is provided with the guide protrusion 23 and the fitting portion 50 is provided with the guide recess 52, but the fitting portion 50 may be provided with a protrusion corresponding to the guide protrusion 23, and the harness holding member 20 may be provided with a guide groove corresponding to the guide recess 52. The same applies to the fixing member 30 and the fitted portion 60. Furthermore, both the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 may be provided with at least one of a protrusion corresponding to the guide protrusion 23 and a guide groove corresponding to the guide recess 52, and protrusions and guide grooves corresponding to the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 may be provided.

[0109] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the movement restricting portion 64 fits into the insertion opening 523, but the movement restricting portion 64 may be configured to block a portion of the insertion opening 523 so that the guide protrusion 23 does not fall out of the insertion opening 523. Furthermore, although the insertion opening 523 is provided on the other side in the width direction W, the position is not limited to this, and for example, the insertion opening 523 may be provided in the center of the cross-shaped guide recess 52, and a portion of the insertion opening 523 may be blocked by the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 fitting together.

[0110] Furthermore, although in this embodiment the guide recesses 52 are cross-shaped extending in all four directions, the guide recesses 52 may be radially shaped extending in six or eight directions. When the mated portion 60 provided with a guide groove that guides a structure corresponding to the guide protrusions 23 provided on the fixing member 30 is mated with the mating portion 50 having the guide recesses 52 that guide the guide protrusions 23 to form the connecting member 40, the guide grooves provided on the mated portion 60 and the guide recesses 52 may be combined to form a radial shape.

[0111] In addition, in this embodiment, the base point of the radially extending guide recess 52 is the midpoint of the engaging portion 50, which is located on a straight line connecting the centers of the mounting portion 21 and the insertion shaft portion 31 along the height direction H, but the base point may be somewhere other than this midpoint.

[0112] Note that by using the midpoint of the fitting portion 50, which is located on a line connecting the centers of the mounting portion 21 and the insertion shaft portion 31 along the height direction H, as the base point, the guide recesses 52 can be made to extend radially evenly from the midpoint along the extension direction L and the width direction W. On the other hand, when a base point other than the midpoint is used as the center, the lengths of the guide recesses 52 extending radially from the base point, which extend in a predetermined direction (for example, one side of the extension direction L), may be appropriately adjusted by increasing the lengths.

[0113] In addition, in this embodiment, the guide protrusion 23 is provided in the center of the harness holding member 20, but it may be provided at a position off the center of the harness holding member 20. In addition, the guide protrusion 23 may be provided so as to be spaced a predetermined distance from the connecting member 40 in a direction intersecting with the height direction H.

[0114] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mating portion 50 and the mated portion 60 are integrally formed via the pivot portion 70, but the mating portion 50 and the mated portion 60 may be formed as separate bodies without the pivot portion 70. In this case, the fitting of the fitting portion 50 to the fitted portion 60 is not particularly limited as long as they can be fitted to each other, and for example, the fitting portion 50 may be fitted to the fitted portion 60 by sliding it in a direction perpendicular to the height direction H or in the height direction H.

[0115] Furthermore, the pivoting portion 70 is configured integrally with the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60, but may also be configured to be pivotable by combining the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60. In other words, the pivoting portion 70 may be configured to pivot the fitting portion 50 and the fitted portion 60 by connecting parts of the pivoting portion 70 configured separately.

[0116] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness holding member 20 and the fixing member 30 are fixed together by press-fitting the mating protrusions 233 provided on the guide protrusions 23 into the engaging recesses 66 provided on the bottom surface portion 63. However, this configuration is not necessarily required, and for example, the mating protrusions 233 that protrude in the counter-insertion direction Hu may be provided on the bottom surface portion 63, and the guide protrusions 23 may be provided with the engaging recesses 66 that fit with the mating protrusions 233.

[0117] Furthermore, the mating protrusion 233 and the engagement recess 66 are only required to be able to fix the guide protrusion 23 and the mated portion 60 together, and include a structure that can fix the guide protrusion 23 and the mated portion 60 together, for example, by mating or locking one of the guide protrusion 23 or the mated portion 60 with the other. The above-described configurations can be combined as appropriate within the scope in which at least the effects of each configuration are exhibited. [Explanation of symbols]
