Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a harness mounting member for mounting a second harness to a first harness, a harness fixing structure, and a harness mounting method. [Background technology]

[0002] A long wire harness electrically connecting electrical devices mounted on a vehicle is routed in a two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally complex routing path that combines straight and curved portions to fit the vehicle's uneven shape, and is attached to a mounting location on a body panel of the vehicle via a mounting member such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1.

[0003] More specifically, the mounting member disclosed in Patent Document 1 accommodates the wire harness inside through an opening in a harness accommodating section that is integral with the anchor, and then engages and fixes the locking and fixing section to close the opening to prevent the wire harness from falling out, thereby mounting the wire harness to the mounting member.Then, the anchor is inserted into a through-hole (mounting location) provided in a body panel, thereby mounting the wire harness to the mounting location.

[0004] In recent years, various electrical devices have been developed to improve vehicle comfort, and the number of electrical devices being added to or removed from vehicles is increasing. As a result, there has been an increase in the number of new wire harnesses (tentatively referred to as "second harnesses") being installed alongside the existing wire harnesses (tentatively referred to as "first harnesses").

[0005] However, with the harness clamp disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to release the locking and fixing of the locking and fixing part every time a second harness is added, which causes a problem of poor work efficiency. Therefore, it is desired to easily attach the second harness, which is connected to the electric equipment to be installed, to the first harness. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-336509 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a harness mounting member, a harness fixing structure, and a harness mounting method that allow a second harness to be easily mounted to a first harness. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention provides a harness clamp having a harness fixing portion for fixing a long, longitudinally extending first harness and a stud mounting portion into which a stud bolt provided at a mounting location for mounting the first harness is inserted, and a fitting portion fitted over the anti-insertion side of the stud mounting portion, which is opposite to the insertion side of the stud bolt, and a harness mounting portion for mounting a second harness, the fitting portion having a locking and fixing portion that locks and fixes to the stud mounting portion, and the second harness is mounted to the first harness mounted at the mounting location by the harness clamp. The fitting portion is provided with a side wall portion that fits along the outer surface of the stud mounting portion, and the fitting portion is provided with a fitting opening that fits the buckle portion of the harness fixing portion, which is composed of a band portion that is wound around the first harness and a buckle portion that fixes the band portion. A harness mounting member.

[0009] The present invention also provides a harness clamp including a harness fixing portion for fixing a long, longitudinally extending first harness and a stud mounting portion into which a stud bolt provided at a mounting location for mounting the first harness is inserted, the harness clamp fixing the first harness to the harness fixing portion, and inserting the stud bolt into the stud mounting portion. ofa harness mounting member including a fitting portion that fits over the stud mounting portion of the harness clamp on the anti-insertion side opposite the insertion side of the stud bolt, and a harness mounting portion for mounting a second harness, and a locking and fixing portion provided on the fitting portion is engaged with the stud mounting portion to fix the fitting portion, thereby mounting the second harness to the first harness that has been mounted to the mounting portion by the harness clamp; The fitting portion is provided with a side wall portion that fits along the outer surface of the stud mounting portion, and the fitting portion is provided with a fitting opening that fits into the buckle portion of the harness fixing portion, which is composed of a band portion that is wound around the first harness and a buckle portion that fixes the band portion. This is a structure for fixing the harness.

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for attaching the first harness to the harness fixing portion using the above-mentioned harness attaching member. but The stud bolt is fixed to the stud mounting portion. of This is a harness installation method in which the second harness is attached to the first harness attached to the installation location by inserting the harness clamp and installing it at the installation location, and then installing the second harness to the first harness attached to the installation location by installing the second harness to the stud installation location.

[0011] The first harness and the second harness include a case where one is a so-called main harness and the other is a sub-harness, and a case where both are main harnesses or sub-harnesses. In other words, the first harness and the second harness are not specific wire harnesses.

[0012] The stud mounting portion can be inserted into and attached to the erected stud bolt, and there is no particular limitation on the shape as long as the fitting portion can be fitted externally on the side opposite to the insertion side. For example, the portion where the fitting portion is fitted externally may be solid or hollow. The locking and fixing portion includes a structure that can be locked and fixed to the inner surface, the outer surface, or both of the stud mounting portion.

[0013] In the method of attaching the harness, the second harness may be fixed to the harness attachment portion after the harness attachment member is fitted to the harness clamp attached to the attachment location, or the second harness may be fixed to the harness attachment portion after the harness attachment member is fitted to the harness clamp attached to the attachment location.

[0014] According to this invention, the fitting portion can be fixed to the stud mounting portion by engaging the locking and fixing portion provided on the fitting portion from the anti-insertion side of the stud mounting portion that is attached to the stud bolt. In this way, the harness mounting member can be attached to the harness clamp simply by engaging and fixing the fitting portion to the stud mounting portion from the anti-insertion side. Therefore, a harness mounting member having a harness mounting portion to which a second harness can be attached can be easily and reliably attached to a harness clamp with a first harness attached to its harness fixing portion. Therefore, the second harness can be easily and reliably attached to the first harness.

[0015] Also, The fitting portion is provided with a side wall portion along the outer surface of the stud mounting portion. are. The phrase "along the outer surface of the stud mounting portion" as mentioned above means "along the entire or part of the outer surface that constitutes the stud mounting portion."

[0016] This means: This improves the strength of the fitting portion. Furthermore, when the fitting portion is fitted into the stud mounting portion, the side wall portion can be aligned along the outer peripheral surface of the stud mounting portion, allowing the fitting portion to be stably attached to the stud mounting portion. Therefore, the second harness attached to the harness mounting portion can be stably aligned along the first harness.

[0017] Also, The fitting portion is provided with a fitting opening into which the buckle portion of the harness fixing portion, which is configured with a band portion that is wound around the first harness and a buckle portion that fixes the band portion, is fitted. There are.

[0018] This means: Because the fitting opening can be fitted into the buckle portion, the side wall portion does not interfere with the first harness or the buckle portion, and the fitting portion can be fitted more securely onto the stud mounting portion. Furthermore, because the side wall portion can be fitted along the outer peripheral surface of the stud mounting portion while the harness mounting member is fixed to the stud mounting portion at multiple locations between the locking and fastening portion and the fitting opening, the harness mounting member can be stabilized relative to the stud mounting portion. Therefore, the harness mounting member can be easily and securely attached to the harness clamp, and the harness mounting member can be stabilized relative to the harness clamp.

[0019] child In one aspect of the invention, the fitting portion may be provided with an insertion piece that is inserted into the stud mounting portion through an opening provided on the opposite side of the stud mounting portion. According to this invention, by inserting the insertion piece through the opening, the fitting portion can be guided into the stud mounting portion, making it easier to lock and fix the locking portion to the stud mounting portion. Furthermore, because the insertion piece is inserted into the stud mounting portion from the opposite side of the opening, the harness mounting member can be prevented from falling off the harness clamp even if the locking and fixing of the locking portion is released.

[0020] As another aspect of the present invention, the insertion piece may be provided with a protrusion that protrudes toward an inner surface of the stud attachment portion in the longitudinal direction. According to this invention, the protrusion interferes with the inner surface of the stud mounting portion, preventing the harness mounting member from shifting position relative to the harness clamp, thereby reliably preventing the locking and fixing of the locking and fixing portion from being released.

[0021] Furthermore, if the stud mounting portion has a side wall that fits along the outer surface of the stud mounting portion, the stud mounting portion can be sandwiched and held between the protrusion and the side wall, more reliably fixing and stabilizing the harness mounting member to the harness clamp, thereby enabling the second harness to be attached to the first harness in a more stable state.

[0022] In another aspect of the present invention, the locking and fixing portion may be configured to lock onto flange portions that protrude outward in the longitudinal direction and are provided on both sides of the stud mounting portion in the anti-insertion direction.

[0023] According to this invention, the locking and fixing part can be locked and fixed to the flange part, so that the locking and fixing part can be reliably locked. Furthermore, by providing the flange part to the stud attachment part, the strength of the stud attachment part is improved, so that the second harness attached to the first harness can be more stable.

[0024] As another aspect of the present invention, the fitting portion may be provided with a mounting portion that is mounted on the flange portion. According to this invention, the fitting portion is placed on the flange portion, thereby stabilizing the harness mounting member relative to the stud mounting portion, thereby preventing the engagement of the engagement portion with the flange portion from being released and enabling the second harness to be stably attached to the first harness.

[0025] As another aspect of the present invention, the fitting portion may be provided with a through-hole that penetrates the fitting portion in a mounting direction in which the fitting portion is mounted on the stud mounting portion. According to this invention, the stud mounting portion can be visually observed through the through hole, so that the fitting portion can be fitted more easily and reliably to the stud mounting portion.

[0026] As a further aspect of the present invention, the harness mounting portion may be configured as an extension body that extends in the longitudinal direction and fixes the placed second harness with a fixing tape. According to this invention, the second harness can be easily attached and can be stably fixed.

[0027] As a further aspect of the present invention, the extension body may be formed to have an L-shaped cross section, with a side portion extending in the longitudinal direction on the side opposite to the first harness. This invention prevents the first and second harnesses from overlapping in a specific direction, allowing the second harness to be stably fixed and space to be used effectively.In addition, since the second harness can be fixed to either the opposite side or the non-insertion side of the first harness, the second harness can be fixed to the extension body depending on the installation location of the stud mounting part and the space in the vehicle.

[0028] As a further aspect of the present invention, a plurality of ribs spanning the inner corner portion may be provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction on the inner corner side of the extension body formed in an L-shaped cross section. According to this invention, the rigidity of the extension body can be improved, and therefore the second harness can be fixed more stably.

[0029] In another aspect of the present invention, a protrusion for preventing the fixing tape from coming off may be provided near an end of the extension body. According to this invention, the protrusion can prevent the fixing tape from coming off, so the second harness can be fixed to the extension body more reliably.

[0030] As another aspect of the present invention, the longitudinal direction of the second harness attached to the harness attachment portion may be substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the first harness. According to this invention, interference between the first harness and the second harness can be reliably prevented. [Effects of the Invention]

[0031] The present invention can provide a harness mounting member, a harness fixing structure, and a harness mounting method that allow a second harness to be easily mounted to a first harness. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0033] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The harness fixing structure 1 of this embodiment is a structure in which a harness clamp 10 fitted with a harness mounting member 20 is fixed to a predetermined mounting location in a vehicle. A first harness WH1 is fixed to the harness clamp 10, and a second harness WH2 is attached to the harness mounting member 20.

Note that Fig. 9 shows a cross-sectional view corresponding to the cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in Fig. 3(b). 10 is a schematic perspective view of the harness fastening structure 1 in a state where the second harness WH2 is attached to another position on the harness attaching member 20. As shown in FIG.

[0037] 1 is defined as a height direction D, a direction perpendicular to the height direction D and in which the first harness WH1 extends is defined as a longitudinal direction L, and a direction perpendicular to the height direction D and the longitudinal direction L is defined as a width direction W. In addition, in FIG. 1, the upper side along the height direction D is defined as the top, and the lower side along the height direction D is defined as the bottom. These directions are the same in FIGS. 2 to 12.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the harness fixing structure 1 is a structure in which a first harness WH1 is fixed, and a harness mounting member 20 to which a second harness WH2 is attached is fitted onto a harness clamp 10 attached to a panel P, thereby attaching the second harness WH2 to the first harness WH1.

[0039] The first harness WH1 fixed to the harness clamp 10 is a main harness that electrically connects electrical equipment (standard equipment) such as a battery that is installed as standard equipment in the vehicle, and is fixed to the panel P via the harness clamp 10 at a predetermined position in the wiring path.

[0040] The second harness WH2 is a sub-harness that electrically connects electrical equipment installed in the vehicle as an additional option with standard equipment, and is routed approximately parallel to the first harness WH1 at the attachment point where the harness clamp 10 is fixed to the panel P.

[0041] In this embodiment, for convenience, the first harness WH1 is the main harness and the second harness WH2 is the sub-harness, but this is not limited to this embodiment, and for example, both the first harness WH1 and the second harness WH2 may be main harnesses or sub-harnesses.

[0042] As described above, the harness clamp 10 is a fixing device for fixing the first harness WH1 in a predetermined position for wiring, and as shown in FIG. 2, it includes a stud mounting portion 11 into which a stud bolt V erected on the panel P is inserted for installation, and a harness fixing portion 12 for fixing the elongated first harness WH1 extending in the longitudinal direction L.

[0043] 3 and 4, the stud mounting portion 11 is a cylindrical body that is roughly oval in plan view and has an insertion hole that passes through in the height direction D, and has an opening 13 on the upper side of the stud mounting portion 11 that is an opening portion that passes through the insertion hole. In addition, a bolt fixing portion 14 is provided at the lower end of the stud mounting portion 11 through which a stud bolt V is inserted to fix the stud mounting portion 11, and flanges 15, 15 are provided at the upper end of the stud mounting portion 11 along the width direction W, protruding from both sides of the stud mounting portion 11 in the longitudinal direction L.

[0044] As shown in Figures 3(b) and 4, the base end of the bolt fixing portion 14 protrudes inward in the longitudinal direction L from both inner walls of the stud mounting portion 11, and the tip has a substantially circular notch whose inner diameter is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the stud bolt V. By press-fitting the stud bolt V into the bolt fixing portion 14 configured in this manner, the bolt fixing portion 14 and the stud bolt V can be locked and fixed together. This allows the stud mounting portion 11 to be fixed to the panel P.

[0045] 2 and 3, the flanges 15, 15 protruding outward in the longitudinal direction L from the upper end of the stud mounting part 11 are formed in an arc shape that follows the outer shape of the stud mounting part 11. Specifically, the flanges 15, 15 protrude most outward in the longitudinal direction L at a position corresponding to the center of the bolt fixing part 14, and are formed in an arc shape in plan view with one side in the width direction W positioned more inward in the longitudinal direction L than the other side.

[0046] As shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), the harness fixing portion 12 is composed of a flexible flat band portion 16 formed in an elongated shape, and a band fixing portion 17 that inserts the band portion 16 inside and locks it in place, and can fix the first harness WH1 to the other side of the stud mounting portion 11 in the width direction W.

[0047] The band fixing portion 17 is formed integrally with the stud mounting portion 11 on the other side of the stud mounting portion 11 in the width direction W, and an insertion space is provided along the height direction D on one side in the width direction W, into which the band portion 16 can be inserted and locked. The band portion 16 extends from the lower end portion of the band fixing portion 17 toward the other side in the width direction W.

[0048] As shown in Figures 2, 5 and 6, the harness mounting member 20 is integrally constructed of a mounting body 30 that can be fitted to the harness clamp 10, and an extension body 40 that extends outward in the longitudinal direction L above the mounting body 30.

[0049] As shown in Figures 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c), when the harness mounting member 20 is fitted to the harness clamp 10, the mounting body 30 is integrally formed of an upper portion 31 positioned above the stud mounting portion 11, locking pieces 32, 32 extending downward from both ends of the upper portion 31 in the longitudinal direction L, a one-side support piece 33 protruding downward from one side of the locking piece 32 in the width direction W of the upper portion 31, another-side support pieces 34, 34 protruding downward from the other side of the locking piece 32 in the width direction W of the upper portion 31, and insertion pieces 35, 35 protruding downward from the inside of the locking piece 32 in the longitudinal direction L.

[0050] 5(a), the upper portion 31 is formed in the shape of a flat plate that is generally rectangular in plan view and slightly larger than the outer shape of the stud mounting portion 11, and has a through-hole H that penetrates the central portion in the plate thickness direction (height direction D). One end side of the upper portion 31 in the width direction W is formed integrally with the extension body 40.

[0051] More specifically, the upper portion 31 is composed of an outer frame portion 311 that forms the outer periphery of the through hole H, and bridging portions 312, 312 that are provided along the width direction W, on the inner side in the longitudinal direction L of both ends of the outer frame portion 311. Here, of the through hole H, the portion formed between the bridging portions 312, 312 is referred to as a first through hole H1, and the portions formed between the outer frame portion 311 and the bridging portions 312 arranged at both ends in the longitudinal direction L are referred to as second through holes H2, H2.

[0052] 5(a), the outer frame portion 311 is a frame body having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view. The spacing in the longitudinal direction L of this outer frame portion 311, i.e., the spacing between the outer ends of the second through holes H2, H2 in the longitudinal direction L, is configured to be generally equal to the spacing between the outer ends of the flanges 15, 15 protruding outward in the longitudinal direction L from the upper end of the stud mounting portion 11.

[0053] Furthermore, the spacing in the width direction W of the outer frame 311, i.e., the spacing in the width direction W of the first through holes H1, is configured to be approximately equal to the spacing in the width direction W of the stud mounting portion 11. In other words, the first through holes H1 are formed to approximately coincide with the insertion holes of the tubular stud mounting portion 11. Therefore, when the mounting portion main body 30 is fitted into the harness clamp 10, the outer frame 311 rests on the upper surface of the stud mounting portion 11, including the flanges 15, 15.

[0054] As shown in Figure 5(b), at the center of the width direction W at both ends of the longitudinal direction L of this outer frame portion 311, locking pieces 32, 32 protrude downward, and one-side support pieces 33 protrude downward on one side of the locking pieces 32, 32 in the width direction W of the outer frame portion 311, and other-side support pieces 34, 34 protrude downward on the other side.

[0055] As shown in Figure 6(a), the locking piece 32 is composed of a locking shaft 321 extending along the height direction D from the inner end in the longitudinal direction L of the outer frame portion 311, which is formed in a hollow rectangular shape when viewed in a plane, and a locking claw 322 protruding inward in the longitudinal direction L from the lower end of the locking shaft 321.

[0056] The locking shaft 321 extending downward is configured with a substantially flat plate having an arc-shaped inner surface in the longitudinal direction L, and in the fitted state, is in face contact with the opposing flange 15. In addition, when an external force acts on the locking piece 32 in the longitudinal direction L, the locking shaft 321 has enough elasticity to be elastically deformed in the longitudinal direction L with the upper end of the locking shaft 321 as a fulcrum. Both ends of the outer frame portion 311 in the longitudinal direction L protrude outward in the longitudinal direction L beyond the locking shaft 321 .

[0057] The locking claws 322 are formed in a generally right-angled triangular shape in side view, inclined so as to protrude inward in the longitudinal direction L as they extend upward from the lower end of the locking shaft 321, and the inner surface in the longitudinal direction L is formed in an arc shape that follows the outer surface of the harness fixing part 12, similar to the upper part 31. The amount by which the locking claws 322 protrude inward in the longitudinal direction L is slightly smaller than the amount by which the flanges 15, 15 protrude outward in the longitudinal direction L from the outer surface of the stud mounting part 11. The distance between the upper end surface of the locking claws 322 and the lower end surface of the outer frame part 311 is generally equal to the plate thickness of the flanges 15.

[0058] The one-side support piece 33 is composed of flange contact portions 331, 331 formed in an arc shape so as to follow the outer surfaces of the flanges 15, 15 on one side in the width direction W when the harness clamp 10 and the harness mounting member 20 are fitted together, and a first side wall portion 332 connecting one end side in the width direction W of the flange contact portions 331, 331 arranged on both sides in the longitudinal direction L. The first side wall portion 332 extends along the longitudinal direction L and, in the fitted state, abuts against the outer peripheral surface of one end side in the width direction W of the stud mounting portion 11.

[0059] As shown in Figure 5(b), the other side support piece 34 is composed of a support portion 341 that extends along the longitudinal direction L on the other side of the width direction W of the locking piece 32, and a second side wall portion 342 that is approximately arc-shaped and extends from the inner end of the support portion 341 in the longitudinal direction L toward the inside in the longitudinal direction L. The support portions 341, 341 come into contact with the other ends of the flanges 15, 15 in the width direction W in a fitted state in which the harness attaching member 20 is fitted to the harness clamp 10.

[0060] The second side wall portion 342, which is formed in a substantially arcuate shape, has its inner end in the longitudinal direction L positioned at a position corresponding to the locking piece 32, and in the mated state, abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the other side in the width direction W of the stud mounting portion 11. In addition, a mating opening 36 is provided between the second side walls 342, 342 positioned on the outside in the longitudinal direction L, as shown in Figure 5(c), into which the band fixing portion 17 can fit when the harness clamp 10 and the harness mounting member 20 are mated together.

[0061] As shown in Figures 5(b) and 6(b), the insertion piece 35 is composed of an approximately flat insertion portion 351 that protrudes downward from the bridging portions 312, 312 that connect the outer frame portion 311 along W, and a protruding portion 352 that protrudes outward in the longitudinal direction L from the central portion of the insertion portion 351 in the width direction W. The insertion portion 351 extending downward from the bridge portion 312 in the height direction D is configured to be longer than the locking shaft 321, as shown in FIG. 6(a).

[0062] The protrusion 352 has an end face formed in an arc shape, and as shown in Fig. 6(a), it is gently inclined downward from the upper end toward the inside in the longitudinal direction L. The lower end portion of the insertion piece 35 has a steeper inclination angle than the upper portion.

[0063] The extension body 40 extends from one side in the width direction W toward both sides in the longitudinal direction L, and the second harness WH2 can be fixed with a fixing tape T. In more detail, the extension body 40 has an L-shaped cross section formed by an upper surface portion 41 extending in the longitudinal direction L along the upper surface of the upper portion 31, and a side portion 42 extending downward from one side of the upper portion 31 in the width direction W, and the ends of the upper surface portion 41 and the side portion 42 are respectively provided with an upper convex portion 411 and a lateral convex portion 421 which prevent the fixing tape T from coming off.

[0064] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5(b), on the inner angle formed by the upper surface portion 41 and the side surface portion 42, multiple ribs 43 that straddle the upper surface portion 41 and the side surface portion 42 are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction L, thereby improving the rigidity of the extension body 40.

[0065] The harness mounting member 20 thus configured with the mounting portion main body 30 and the extension body 40 can be fitted to the harness clamp 10. Below, a brief description will be given of a method for fitting the harness mounting member 20 to the harness clamp 10 and attaching the second harness WH2 to the first harness WH1.

[0066] First, the first harness WH1 is placed on the other side of the harness fixing part 12 in the width direction W, and the first harness WH1 is wound around the band part 16. Then, the band part 16 is inserted into an insertion hole provided in the band fixing part 17 and engaged and fixed to the band fixing part 17. This allows the first harness WH1 to be fixed to the harness fixing part 12.

[0067] Next, the stud bolt V, which is erected at a predetermined mounting location on the panel P, is inserted into the stud mounting portion 11 of the harness clamp 10 to which the first harness WH1 is fixed, so that the stud bolt V is press-fit into the bolt fixing portion 14, and the bolt fixing portion 14 and the stud bolt V are engaged and fixed. This allows the harness clamp 10 to which the first harness WH1 is fixed to be mounted to the panel P (see FIG. 7).

[0068] Next, the harness mounting member 20, with the second harness WH2 fixed to the extension body 40 with the fixing tape T, is placed above the harness clamp 10 so that the second harness WH2 and the first harness WH1 are approximately parallel, and the harness mounting member 20 is attached to the harness clamp 10 from above.

[0069] At this time, as shown in Figure 8, the opening 13 (stud bolt V) can be visually observed from the second through hole H2 along the height direction D, so the harness mounting member 20 can be accurately moved relative to the harness clamp 10 so that the insertion portions 351, 351 are inserted into the opening 13.

[0070] Furthermore, since the insertion portions 351, 351 are configured to be longer than the locking shafts 321, 321, the insertion portions 351, 351 are inserted first into the interior of the stud attachment portion 11 (see FIG. 9(a)). More specifically, by moving the harness mounting member 20 downward, the inclined protrusions 352, 352 gradually come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the stud mounting portion 11, and the harness mounting member 20 can be guided so that the mounting portion main body 30 is at a desired position relative to the stud mounting portion 11. Therefore, the harness mounting member 20 can be moved reliably and accurately relative to the harness clamp 10.

[0071] In this way, by moving the harness mounting member 20 downward, the locking claws 322 come into contact with the flanges 15. At this time, an external force acts on the locking pieces 32 outward in the longitudinal direction L, causing the locking shafts 321 to elastically deform outward in the longitudinal direction L (see FIG. 9(a)).

[0072] Furthermore, by moving the harness mounting member 20 downward, the upper ends of the locking claws 322 are positioned below the flanges 15. This releases the urging force that has been acting inward in the longitudinal direction L on the locking shafts 321, causing the locking claws 322 to move inward in the longitudinal direction L, and the flanges 15 and the locking claws 322 are locked together. Therefore, the mounting portion main body 30 is fitted to the stud mounting portion 11 (see FIG. 9(b)).

[0073] At this time, the outer frame portion 311 is placed on the upper end surface (opening 13) of the stud mounting portion 11, and the one side support piece 33 and the other side support pieces 34, 34, particularly the first side wall portion 332 and the second side wall portion 342, 342 abut against the outer peripheral surface of the stud mounting portion 11, so that the mounting portion main body 30 is attached to the stud mounting portion 11 in a stable state.

[0074] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9(b), the upper ends of the protrusions 352, 352 abut against the inner surface of the stud mounting portion 11, preventing the mounting portion main body 30 from shifting in the longitudinal direction L, and allowing the stud mounting portion 11 (flanges 15, 15) to be sandwiched between the locking shafts 321, 321 and the protrusions 352, 352, making the mounting portion main body 30 more stable relative to the stud mounting portion 11.

[0075] In this way, the harness mounting member 20 is provided with a harness fixing portion 12 that fixes the long first harness WH1 extending in the longitudinal direction L, and a stud mounting portion 11 into which a stud bolt V provided at the mounting location to mount the first harness WH1 is inserted, a mounting portion main body 30 that is fitted over the anti-insertion side (upper side) of the stud mounting portion 11 of the harness clamp 10, which is opposite to the insertion side (lower side) of the stud bolt V, and an extension body 40 for mounting the second harness WH2, and the mounting portion main body 30 is provided with a locking piece 32 that locks onto and fixes the stud mounting portion 11, and the second harness WH2 is mounted to the first harness WH1 mounted at the mounting location by the harness clamp 10.

[0076] The harness fixing structure 1 fixes the first harness WH1 to the harness fixing portion 12 of the harness clamp 10, which is provided with a harness fixing portion 12 that fixes the long first harness WH1 extending in the longitudinal direction L and a stud mounting portion 11 into which a stud bolt V provided at the mounting location where the first harness WH1 is to be mounted is inserted, and the first harness WH1 is mounted at the mounting location by inserting the stud bolt V into the stud mounting portion 11, and the harness mounting member 20 is provided with an mounting portion main body 30 that is fitted over the anti-insertion side (upper) of the stud mounting portion 11, which is opposite to the insertion side (lower) of the stud bolt V at the harness clamp 10, and an extension body 40 for mounting the second harness WH2. The mounting portion main body 30 has a locking piece 32 that is provided on the mounting portion main body 30 and is engaged with the stud mounting portion 11 to fix the mounting portion main body 30, and the second harness WH2 is mounted to the first harness WH1 mounted at the mounting location by the harness clamp 10.

[0077] This harness mounting member 20 can be fixed to the stud mounting portion 11 by engaging the locking piece 32 provided on the mounting portion main body 30 from the anti-insertion side (above) of the stud mounting portion 11 that is attached to the stud bolt V. In this way, the harness mounting member 20 can be attached to the harness clamp 10 simply by engaging and fixing the mounting portion main body 30 to the stud mounting portion 11 from the anti-insertion side (above). Therefore, the harness mounting member 20, which includes the extension body 40 that can attach the second harness WH2, can be easily and reliably attached to the harness clamp 10 in which the first harness WH1 is attached to the harness fixing portion 12. Therefore, the second harness WH2 can be easily and reliably attached to the first harness WH1.

[0078] Furthermore, the mounting body 30 is provided with a first side wall 332 and a second side wall 342 that fit along the outer surface of the stud mounting portion 11, thereby improving the strength of the mounting body 30. Furthermore, when the mounting body 30 is fitted into the stud mounting portion 11, the first side wall 332 and the second side wall 342 fit along the outer peripheral surface of the stud mounting portion 11, thereby enabling the mounting body 30 to be stably attached to the stud mounting portion 11. Therefore, the second harness WH2 attached to the extension body 40 can be stably fitted along the first harness WH1.

[0079] In addition, the mounting body 30, more specifically between the first side wall portions 332, 332, has an engagement opening 36 into which the band fixing portion 17 of the harness fixing portion 12, which is composed of a band portion 16 that is wound around the first harness WH1 and a band fixing portion 17 that fixes the band portion 16, is fitted.

[0080] This allows the fitting opening 36 to fit onto the band fixing portion 17, and the first side wall portions 332, 332 do not interfere with the first harness WH1 or the band fixing portion 17, allowing the mounting portion main body 30 to be more reliably fitted onto the stud mounting portion 11. Furthermore, the harness mounting member 20 can be fixed to the stud mounting portion 11 at multiple locations between the locking pieces 32 and the fitting opening 36, while the first side wall portion 332 and the second side wall portion 342 can be aligned along the outer peripheral surface of the stud mounting portion 11, thereby stabilizing the harness mounting member 20 relative to the stud mounting portion 11. Therefore, the harness mounting member 20 can be easily and reliably attached to the harness clamp 10, and the harness mounting member 20 can be stabilized relative to the harness clamp 10.

[0081] The mounting body 30 is also provided with an insertion piece 35 that is inserted into the stud mounting portion 11 from an opening 13 provided on the anti-insertion side (upper side) of the stud mounting portion 11. By inserting the insertion piece 35 through the opening 13 in this way, the mounting body 30 can be guided into the stud mounting portion 11, making it possible to more easily lock and fix the locking piece 32 to the stud mounting portion 11. Furthermore, because the insertion piece 35 is inserted into the stud mounting portion 11 from the anti-insertion side (upper side) of the opening 13, the harness mounting member 20 can be prevented from falling off the harness clamp 10 even if the locking fixation of the locking piece 32 is released.

[0082] Furthermore, the insertion piece 35 is provided with a protrusion 352 that protrudes toward the inner surface of the stud mounting portion 11 in the longitudinal direction L. As a result, for example, when the mounting portion main body 30 moves in the longitudinal direction L, the protrusion 352 interferes with the inner surface of the stud mounting portion 11, preventing the harness mounting member 20 from shifting position relative to the harness clamp 10 and reliably preventing the locking piece 32 from being released.

[0083] Furthermore, because the first side wall 332 and second side wall 342 are provided along the outer surface of the stud mounting portion 11, the stud mounting portion 11 can be sandwiched and held between the protrusion 352 and the first and second side wall 332, 342, thereby more reliably fixing and stabilizing the harness mounting member 20 to the harness clamp 10. Therefore, the second harness WH2 can be attached to the first harness WH1 in a more stable state.

[0084] The locking pieces 32 are configured to lock onto flanges 15 that protrude outward in the longitudinal direction L and are provided on both sides of the stud mounting part 11 in the longitudinal direction L on the side opposite to the insertion side. This allows the locking pieces 32 to be locked and fixed to the flanges 15, ensuring reliable locking of the locking pieces 32. Furthermore, providing the stud mounting part 11 with the flanges 15 improves the strength of the stud mounting part 11, thereby making it possible to further stabilize the second harness WH2 attached to the first harness WH1.

[0085] Furthermore, by engaging and fixing the locking piece 32 to the flange 15 protruding outward in the longitudinal direction L from both sides in the longitudinal direction L, the locking piece 32 can be prevented from coming off the flange 15 even if the center of gravity of the second harness WH2 moves in the longitudinal direction L due to vibration or the like.

[0086] Furthermore, since the mounting body 30 is provided with a mounting portion that is placed on the flange 15, the mounting body 30 can be placed on the flange 15, and the harness mounting member 20 can be stabilized relative to the stud mounting portion 11. This prevents the locking piece 32 from being released from the flange 15, and allows the second harness WH2 to be stably attached to the first harness WH1.

[0087] Furthermore, the mounting body 30 is provided with a through hole H (second through hole H2) that penetrates in the mounting direction of the mounting body 30 to the stud mounting portion 11. This allows the stud mounting portion 11 to be visually observed through the through hole H (H2), making it possible to fit the mounting body 30 to the stud mounting portion 11 more easily and reliably.

[0088] The extension body 40 extends in the longitudinal direction L and is configured to fix the placed second harness WH2 with a fixing tape T. This allows the second harness WH2 to be easily attached and also allows the second harness WH2 to be stably fixed.

[0089] Furthermore, the extension body 40 has an L-shaped cross section with a side portion 42 extending in the longitudinal direction L on the side opposite the first harness WH1, so the first harness WH1 and the second harness WH2 do not overlap in a particular direction, allowing the second harness WH2 to be stably fixed and space to be used effectively. Furthermore, because the second harness WH2 can be fixed either on the opposite side or above the first harness WH1, the second harness WH2 can be fixed to the extension body 40 depending on the mounting location of the stud mounting portion 11 and the space in the vehicle.

[0090] Furthermore, on the inner corner side of the extension body 40 formed in an L-shaped cross section, a plurality of ribs 43 spanning the inner corner portion are provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction L. This improves the rigidity of the extension body 40, and therefore the second harness WH2 can be fixed more stably.

[0091] Additionally, an upper protrusion 411 and a side protrusion 421 are provided near the end of the extension body 40 to prevent the fixing tape T from coming off. As a result, the upper protrusion 411 and the side protrusion 421 can prevent the fixing tape T from coming off, so that the second harness WH2 can be fixed to the extension body 40 more reliably.

[0092] Furthermore, the longitudinal direction L of the second harness WH2 attached to the extension body 40 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction L of the first harness WH1, thereby reliably preventing interference between the first harness WH1 and the second harness WH2.

[0093] In the correspondence between the configuration of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiment, the longitudinal direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction L, and similarly hereinafter, The first harness corresponds to the first harness WH1, The harness fixing portion corresponds to the harness fixing portion 12, The stud bolts are compatible with V stud bolts. The stud mounting portion corresponds to the stud mounting portion 11, The harness clamp is compatible with the harness clamp 10. The fitting portion corresponds to the mounting portion main body 30, The second harness corresponds to the second harness WH2, The harness attachment portion and the extension body correspond to the extension body 40, The locking and fixing portion corresponds to the locking piece 32, The harness attachment member corresponds to the harness attachment member 20, The side wall portions correspond to the first side wall portion 332 and the second side wall portion 342, The band corresponds to band 16, The buckle part corresponds to the band fixing part 17, The mating opening corresponds to the mating opening 36; The opening corresponds to opening 13, The insert corresponds to insert 35, The protrusion corresponds to protrusion 352, The flange part corresponds to flange 15, The through hole corresponds to the through hole H, The fixed tape corresponds to the fixed tape T, The side surface corresponds to the side surface 42, The rib corresponds to rib 43, The convex portions correspond to the upper convex portion 411 and the side convex portion 421, The harness fixing structure corresponds to the harness fixing structure 1, The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and many other embodiments can be obtained.

[0094] For example, in the present embodiment, the second harness WH2 is fixed to the top surface portion 41 with tape, but as shown in Fig. 10, it may also be fixed to the side surface portion 42 with tape. In this way, in the present invention, by forming the extension body 40 with an L-shaped cross section, the second harness WH2 is fixed at two locations, and the fixing locations can be selected depending on the wiring route and wiring space of the wire harness.

[0095] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the extension body 40 has an L-shaped cross section, but this does not necessarily have to be L-shaped, and other configurations may be used that allow the second harness WH2 to be fixed on the side of the mounting portion main body 30 that is away from the first harness WH1 and on the upper side. Specifically, when viewed along the longitudinal direction L, the extension body 40 may have a substantially T-shaped cross section having a side extending along the height direction D and a side extending along the width direction W from approximately the center of the side extending along the height direction D.

[0096] As a result, as in this embodiment, the second harness WH2 can be routed on the side away from or above the first harness WH1 on the mounting body 30, making it possible to select the routing position of the second harness WH2. In addition, since the second harness WH2 can be routed both on the side away from and above the first harness WH1 on the mounting body 30, it is possible to add more electronic devices.

[0097] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the stud mounting portion 11 is hollow, but there are no particular limitations on its shape as long as it can be inserted into and mounted on the erected stud bolt V and the mounting portion main body 30 can be fitted externally on the side opposite to the insertion side. For example, the portion where the mounting portion main body 30 is fitted externally may be solid, and the mounting portion main body 30 may appear to have no insertion piece 35.

[0098] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the locking piece 32 is configured to be locked and fixed to the flange 15, but the flange 15 is not necessarily required. For example, as shown in Figure 11(a), an outer locking groove 18 for locking the locking claw 322 may be provided on the outer surface of the stud mounting portion 11.

[0099] 11(a), 11(b) and 12 show schematic cross-sectional views corresponding to the cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3(b) in another embodiment of the harness fixing structure 1, and the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those in the harness fixing structure 1, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0100] 11(b), the locking piece 32 may be configured so that the locking shaft 321 extends downward from the bridge portion 312 and the locking claw 322 protrudes outward in the longitudinal direction L, and the locking claw 322 is locked and fixed in the inner locking groove 19 provided on the inner surface of the stud mounting part 11. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11(b), the insertion piece 35 may be provided so as to abut against the outer surface of the stud mounting part 11, or the insertion piece 35 may not be provided.

[0101] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12 , the mounting body 30 may be provided with a pair of locking pieces 32, 32 at both ends in the longitudinal direction L, which protrude along the longitudinal direction L with the locking claws 322 facing each other, and the pair of locking pieces 32, 32 may clamp the wall surface of the stud mounting section 11, with each locking claw 322, 322 engaging with an outer locking groove 18 provided on the outer surface of the stud mounting section 11 and an inner locking groove 19 provided on the inner surface of the stud mounting section 11.

[0102] In addition, in order to provide the guiding function of the insertion piece 35, the inner locking groove 19 may be located lower than the outer locking groove 18, and the locking piece 32 that engages with the inner locking groove 19 may be longer than the locking piece 32 that engages with the outer locking groove 18.

[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the locking pieces 32 are configured to lock along the longitudinal direction L, but this is not limited thereto, and they may be configured to lock in the width direction W. In this case, by locking and fixing the locking pieces 32 to the inner peripheral surface of the stud mounting portion 11, interference between the locking pieces 32 and the first harness WH1 can be prevented.

[0104] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the harness mounting member 20 to which the second harness WH2 is fixed with tape is fitted to the harness clamp 10, but this method is not necessarily required.The harness mounting member 20 may be fitted to the harness clamp 10 fixed at a predetermined location, and then the second harness WH2 may be fixed to the extension body 40 with tape.
