Description

[Technical Field]

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

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

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

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

[0005] However, when a flat electric wire is held by the above-mentioned band clamp, the band portion inserted into the band locking portion and tightened becomes substantially circular and cannot fit along the outer surface of the flat electric wire. This causes a gap between the band portion and the flat electric wire, making it difficult to firmly hold the flat electric wire. Therefore, a method for firmly holding a flat electric wire using a conventional band clamp has been desired. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-282352 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 mounting member and a holding structure for a flat electric wire that can be attached to a band portion to firmly hold a flat electric wire. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention provides an arrangement body at least partially disposed between a band portion wound around a flat electric wire to be laid in a vehicle and the flat electric wire, the arrangement body being provided with a first direction restricting portion that restricts the position of the band portion along a first direction, and a second direction restricting portion that restricts the position of the band portion along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The arrangement body includes a bottom surface portion facing the flat electric wire, an upper surface portion disposed at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface portion, and a connecting portion connecting the bottom surface portion and the upper surface portion on at least one side in the first direction. It is a mounting member.

[0009] The present invention also provides a flat electric wire to be routed in a vehicle, a band clamp having a band portion wound around the flat electric wire and a band locking portion for locking and fixing the band portion, and an attachment member attached to the band portion, wherein the attachment member is provided with an arrangement body at least partially disposed between the flat electric wire and the band portion, and the arrangement body is provided with a first direction restricting portion that restricts the position of the band portion along a first direction and a second direction restricting portion that restricts the position of the band portion along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the attachment member is attached to the band portion so as to be aligned with the first direction restricting portion or the second direction restricting portion with respect to the band portion wound around the flat electric wire. The arrangement body includes a bottom surface portion facing the flat electric wire, an upper surface portion disposed at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface portion, and a connecting portion connecting the bottom surface portion and the upper surface portion on at least one side in the first direction. This is a holding structure for flat electric wires.

[0010] The arrangement includes, for example, a case in which the band portion is wound around the opposite side of the flat electric wire in the arrangement body together with the flat electric wire, so that the entire arrangement body is arranged between the flat electric wire and the band portion, and a case in which the band portion is inserted into the arrangement body and the arrangement body and the flat electric wire are wound around the band portion, so that a part of the arrangement body is arranged between the flat electric wire and the band portion.

[0011] The first direction corresponds to the longitudinal direction or width direction of the flat electric wire at a location where the band portion is wound around the flat electric wire via the arrangement body. The second direction is a direction perpendicular to the first direction and corresponds to the width direction or longitudinal direction of the flat electric wire at the point where the band portion is wound around the flat electric wire via the arranging body.

[0012] The connecting portion may connect the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion from one end to the other end, or may connect a portion of the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion. In addition, when the connecting portion connects a portion of the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion, it may be provided on at least one side in the second direction.

[0013] According to this invention, the flat electric wire can be supported by the attachment member by winding the band part to which the attachment member is attached so as to align with the first direction restricting part or the second direction restricting part around the flat electric wire. Therefore, the band part can firmly hold the flat electric wire via the attachment member.

[0014] Furthermore, by placing the locating body in a location that is prone to deformation due to tightening of the band portion, such as the central portion of the width of the flat electric wire, deformation of the flat electric wire due to wrapping of the band portion can be prevented, and the flat electric wire can be firmly held by the band portion while maintaining its shape.

[0015] Furthermore, since the mounting member can be attached so that one of the first direction regulating portion and the second direction regulating portion is aligned with the band portion, the direction in which the band portion is aligned can be selected depending on, for example, the width and length of the flat electric wire and the working environment, thereby improving workability.

[0016] The arranging body further comprises a bottom surface portion facing the flat electric wire, an upper surface portion disposed at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface portion, and a connecting portion connecting the bottom surface portion and the upper surface portion on at least one side of the first direction.

[0017] Therefore, the band portion along the first direction restricting portion or the second direction restricting portion is sandwiched between the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion, preventing the band portion from unintentionally falling off the mounting member. This allows the mounting member to be securely attached to the band portion, and the flat electric wire can be firmly supported by the bottom surface portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the band portion and the flat electric wire, and the flat electric wire can be firmly held.

[0018] As an aspect of the present invention, the arrangement body may have a length along the first direction different from a length along the second direction. This invention allows the direction in which the band portion is placed to match the width and length of the flat electric wire to be selected from the first direction or the second direction, so that flat electric wires of different widths and lengths can be firmly held by the band portion with a single mounting member.

[0019] Furthermore, since the length along the first direction is different from the length along the second direction, the mounting members can be arranged on the flat electric wire in a plurality of arrangement patterns by arranging a plurality of mounting members with selected arrangement directions on the flat electric wire. In other words, one type of mounting member can be used for flat electric wires of various widths and lengths.

[0020] Furthermore, by adjusting the arrangement direction of multiple mounting members, the mounting members can be intentionally arranged in locations that are prone to bending due to tightening of the band portion, such as the central part of the flat electric wire in the width direction, thereby more reliably preventing deformation of the flat electric wire.

[0021] As another aspect of the present invention, the ratio of the length of the arrangement body along the first direction to the length of the arrangement body along the second direction may be 4:3. According to this invention, the entire length of the arranging bodies arranged along the width direction of the flat electric wire can be divided into small sections, and the arranging bodies can be arranged in a large number of arrangement patterns.

[0022] In another aspect of the present invention, a protrusion may be provided that protrudes toward the flat electric wire. According to this invention, it is possible to prevent the flat electric wire from being displaced relative to the mounting member, improve the efficiency of the work of winding the band portion around the flat electric wire, and prevent the flat electric wire from moving and being deformed.

[0023] In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion may connect the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion on one side and the other side of the second direction, and the second direction regulating portion may be composed of a through hole that penetrates the connecting portion in the second direction.

[0024] This invention allows the band portion to be inserted between the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion with a simple structure. Also, because the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion are connected by the connecting portion on one side and the other side in the second direction, the rigidity of the arrangement body can be improved and the arrangement body can firmly support the flat electric wires.

[0025] In another aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion connects the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion on one side of the second direction, and an opening is formed between the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion on the other side of the second direction, and the second direction regulating portion may be composed of a through hole that penetrates the connecting portion in the second direction.

[0026] According to this invention, by inserting the band portion between the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion through the opening, the band portion can be aligned with the first direction restricting portion formed between the connecting portion and the opening, thereby improving the efficiency of the attachment work of attaching the attachment member to the band portion.

[0027] Furthermore, when aligning the band portion with the second direction restricting portion, the band portion can be easily aligned with the second direction restricting portion by inserting the band portion into the through hole provided on only one side in the second direction and then pulling it out to the outside through the opening along the first direction.

[0028] In another aspect of the present invention, at least one of the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion is provided with a regulating protrusion that protrudes toward the opposing top surface portion or bottom surface portion on the other side of the second direction, and the first direction regulating portion may be composed of the connecting portion and the regulating protrusion. According to this invention, movement of the band portion to the other side in the second direction can be reliably restricted, and therefore, the band portion can be prevented from unintentionally falling off from the opening in the band portion.

[0029] As another aspect of the present invention, at least one of the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion may have a connecting portion that connects to at least one of the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion of another adjacent mounting member. The connecting portion is not limited to a method for connecting adjacent mounting members, and may be connected by fitting or locking.

[0030] The connection portion includes not only a case where the connection portion is connected in both the first direction and the second direction, but also a case where the connection portion is connected in at least one of the first direction and the second direction. Furthermore, the connecting portion may be provided on the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion, and may connect the bottom surface portion to the top surface portion of another adjacent mounting member.

[0031] According to this invention, when multiple aligning bodies are arranged along the outer surface of a flat electric wire, adjacent aligning bodies can be connected to each other. Therefore, even if the boundary between aligning bodies is arranged in a location that is prone to bending due to tightening of the band portion, such as the central portion in the width direction of the flat electric wire, the flat electric wire can be supported at the connection portion, and deformation of the flat electric wire can be prevented.

[0032] In another aspect of the present invention, at least one of the bottom surface portion and the top surface portion may be provided with an engaging protrusion extending along at least one of the first direction and the second direction, and an engaging recess recessed along at least one of the first direction and the second direction for engaging with the engaging protrusion, and the connection portion may be composed of the engaging protrusion and the engaging recess.

[0033] According to this invention, adjacent arranging bodies can be connected with a simple structure. Furthermore, when multiple arranging bodies are arranged along the outer surface of a flat electric wire, even if the connection portion is arranged at a part of the flat electric wire that is prone to bending, the fitting convex portion can support the part of the flat electric wire that is prone to bending, so that deformation of the flat electric wire can be more reliably prevented.

[0034] In another aspect of the present invention, the mounting member may be disposed at a central portion in the width direction of the flat electric wire. According to this invention, the flat electric wire can be supported by the arranging body at a portion thereof that is likely to bend when fastened by the band portion, such as the central portion in the width direction of the flat electric wire, so that deformation of the flat electric wire can be more reliably prevented.

[0035] In another aspect of the present invention, a plurality of the attachment members may be attached to the band portion. According to the present invention, flat electric wires of various widths and lengths can be securely held. The plurality of attachment members may be arranged at predetermined intervals or may be arranged so as to be connected to each other.

[0036] In another aspect of the present invention, the attachment member may have a length along the first direction that is different from a length along the second direction, and the direction in which the attachment member is attached to the band portion may be different. According to this invention, the mounting member can be intentionally placed at a location of the flat electric wire that is prone to bending due to fastening of the band, such as the central portion in the width direction of the flat electric wire, and the prone to bending portion of the flat electric wire can be reliably supported, thereby more reliably preventing deformation of the flat electric wire.

[0037] In another aspect of the present invention, the mounting members may be disposed on both sides of the flat electric wire. According to this invention, both sides of the flat electric wire can be supported by the mounting member, so that deformation of the flat electric wire can be more reliably prevented. [Effects of the Invention]

[0038] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mounting member and a holding structure for a flat electric wire that can be attached to a band portion to firmly hold a flat electric wire. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0040] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The flat electric wire holding structure 1 of this embodiment holds a flat electric wire 100 to be routed in a vehicle with a band clamp 10 for a flat electric wire.

[0041] The band clamp 10 for a flat electric wire is composed of a band clamp 20 and an attachment member 30 attached to the band clamp 20, and can route a flat electric wire 100 in the vehicle by fixing it to a body panel of the vehicle. Such an attachment member 30 and a flat electric wire holding structure 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 9.

[0045] 7(b) and 9 are schematic cross-sectional views corresponding to the cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3(a).

[0046] 1, the vertical direction is defined as an insertion direction H, and the direction in which the flat electric wire 100 extends is defined as an extension direction L. The insertion direction H and the extension direction L are perpendicular to each other. The direction perpendicular to the insertion direction H and the extension direction L is defined as a width direction W. The lower side along the insertion direction H is defined as an insertion direction Hd, and the upper side is defined as a counter-insertion direction Hu. The directions in FIG. 1 also apply to FIGS. 2, 3, and 7 to 9.

[0047] As shown in Fig. 1, the flat electric wire holding structure 1 is composed of a flat electric wire 100 to be routed in a vehicle and a flat electric wire band clamp 10 that holds the flat electric wire 100. For convenience, only one flat electric wire band clamp 10 is shown for the flat electric wire 100 in Fig. 1, but in reality, a plurality of flat electric wire band clamps 10 are fixed to the flat electric wire 100 along the extension direction L, and each flat electric wire band clamp 10 is fixed to a body panel of the vehicle.

[0048] 2, the flat electric wire 100 has a plurality of conductor electric wires 110, each of which is a bundle of conducting wires, arranged along the width direction W and covered with an insulating resin insulating coating 120. An orthogonal cross section of the flat electric wire 100, which is perpendicular to the extending direction L, is formed into a substantially flat plate-like shape with its long side aligned with the width direction W and its short side aligned with the insertion direction H.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, the band clamp 10 for a flat electric wire is composed of a band clamp 20 and two mounting members 30 that are attached to the band clamp 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the band clamp 20 has a vehicle body fixing portion 21 that is fixed to a vehicle body panel in the vehicle, a band portion 22 that is wound around the flat electric wire 100 that is arranged in the vehicle, and a band locking portion 23 that locks and fixes the band portion 22.

[0050] The vehicle body fixing portion 21 is a so-called anchor, and includes an insertion shaft portion 211 extending along the insertion direction H, a pair of locking arms 212, 212 provided at the tip of the insertion shaft portion 211, and an elastic flange 213 having a spherical cross section.

[0051] 3(a), the locking arms 212, 212 have their tips connected to the tip of the insertion shaft portion 211 and extend in the extension direction L. The locking arms 212, 212 gradually move away from the insertion shaft portion 211 from the tip side (insertion direction Hd side) to the base side (anti-insertion direction Hu side) of the insertion shaft portion 211.

[0052] The locking arms 212, 212 have locking claws 214 that bulge outward from the tip (end in the insertion direction Hd) of the insertion shaft portion 211. The locking claws 214 are provided with a step portion 214a that bulges outward and a tapered portion 214b that extends in the counter-insertion direction Hu. The tapered portion 214b is formed so that the thickness on the counter-insertion direction Hu side is thinner than the thickness on the insertion direction Hd side.

[0053] When the locking arms 212, 212 configured in this manner are inserted into an insertion hole provided in a vehicle body panel, the boundary between the step portion 214a and the tapered portion 214b of the locking claw 214 locks onto the edge of the insertion hole on the side of the vehicle body panel in the insertion direction Hd, and the elastic flange 213 abuts against the vehicle body panel on the side of the vehicle body panel opposite the insertion direction Hu. This allows the vehicle body fixing part 21 to be fixed to the vehicle body panel (not shown).

[0054] As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the band portion 22 is a flexible strip-shaped band, and extends from the band locking portion 23 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction Hu. On the outer surface of the band portion 22, a locking portion 221 is provided which locks and fixes the band portion 22 and the band locking portion 23 by inserting the band portion 22 wound around the flat electric wire 100 into the band locking portion 23.

[0055] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the locking portion 221 has a groove 221a formed by slightly recessing the outer surface on the inside of the width direction of the band portion 22, from which multiple locking pieces 221b formed in an approximately triangular shape protrude toward the outer surface side of the locking portion 221.

[0056] Groove 221a extends to the tip of band portion 22, which has a tapered shape. That is, the tip of band portion 22 is thinner than the base end. Furthermore, a side wall portion 221c is formed on the outer side of groove 221a in the width direction of band portion 22. The tip portion of this side wall portion 221c gradually becomes lower toward the tip, and the tip has the same plate thickness as groove 221a. The locking piece 221b has a cross section of a substantially right-angled triangle with the base end side at a substantially right angle to the groove 221a, and is configured so that the apex of the triangle is flush with the outer surface of the vehicle body fixing part 21.

[0057] 3(b), the band locking portion 23 integrally fixes the vehicle body fixing portion 21 and the band portion 22. More specifically, the vehicle body fixing portion 21 is fixed integrally to the band locking portion 23 so as to extend in the insertion direction Hd from the lower end (end portion in the insertion direction H) of the band locking portion 23, and the band portion 22 extends in the counter-insertion direction Hu from one side in the width direction W at the upper end (end portion in the counter-insertion direction Hu) of the band locking portion 23.

[0058] A through-hole 231 that penetrates in the width direction W is provided in the center of the band locking portion 23 in the insertion direction H. An insertion opening 231a for inserting the band portion 22 is provided on the other side of the through-hole 231 in the width direction W, and a withdrawal opening 231b for withdrawing the band portion 22 is provided on one side in the width direction W.

[0059] The outlet 231b is provided on the lower side (insertion direction Hd) of the base end of the band part 22, and has substantially the same cross-sectional shape as the base end side of the band part 22 when viewed from the rear. Note that the insertion opening 231a has a shape that is slightly larger than the outlet 231b when viewed from the front.

[0060] Further, as shown in FIG. 3(b), inside the through-hole 231, an elastic piece 232 is provided that protrudes upward from the lower end side of the through-hole 231. The elastic piece 232 is a protruding piece that is connected to the inner wall of the through portion 231 in the insertion direction Hd on the other side in the width direction W, and is inclined in the anti-insertion direction Hu as it moves toward one side in the width direction W, with the plate thickness becoming thinner as it moves from the other side to one side in the width direction W. In addition, a space is formed below the tip portion of the elastic piece 232, and the elastic piece 232 can be elastically deformed in the insertion direction Hd with the base end of the elastic piece 232 as a fulcrum.

[0061] 3(b), two locking pieces 232a protruding upward are provided at the tip of the elastic piece 232. Each locking piece 232a has a cross section in the shape of a substantially right-angled triangle, with one side in the width direction W forming a substantially right angle.

[0062] 4 to 6, the mounting member 30 is configured with a main body 31 that is substantially rectangular parallelepiped with a substantially U-shaped cross section when viewed along the first direction X, which penetrates along the first direction X and has an opening 31a that communicates with the outside on the other side in the second direction Y, and a locking protrusion 32 that protrudes downward from the main body 31. Such mounting member 30 is configured from an insulating synthetic resin that is more rigid than the band portion 22. In this embodiment, the mounting member 30 is made of synthetic resin, but it does not have to be synthetic resin and may be made of a conductive metal such as aluminum, copper, iron, or an alloy of these.

[0063] Here, the height direction Z refers to the up-and-down direction in FIG. 4, and the first direction X refers to the direction from the lower left to the upper right in FIG. 4. The height direction Z and the first direction X are perpendicular to each other, and the direction perpendicular to the height direction Z and the first direction X is referred to as the second direction Y. In other words, the second direction Y refers to the direction from the upper left to the lower right in FIG. 4. The upper side in FIG. 4 is referred to as the top, and the lower side is referred to as the bottom. The height direction Z, the first direction X, and the second direction Y are the same in FIGS.

[0064] The main body 31 is composed of a bottom surface portion 33, an upper surface portion 34 facing the bottom surface portion 33 at a predetermined distance, and a connecting portion 35 connecting the bottom surface portion 33 and the upper surface portion 34 on one side of the mounting member 30 in the second direction Y. The bottom surface portion 33 is a flat plate having a generally rectangular shape in plan view, with a length ratio between the first direction X and the second direction Y of 4:3. The width of the bottom surface portion 33 (the length along the second direction Y) is sufficiently longer than the width of the band portion 22.

[0065] As shown in Figure 5(a), the lower end of this bottom surface portion 33 is provided with a first mating protrusion 331 that protrudes from one end in the second direction Y toward one side in the second direction Y, and a first mating recess 332 that is recessed at the other end in the second direction Y toward one side in the second direction Y.

[0066] 5(b) and 6(a), a second mating protrusion 333 is provided in the approximate center of the thickness of the bottom surface portion 33, protruding from one end portion in the first direction X toward one side in the first direction X, and a second mating recess 334 is provided in the other end portion in the first direction X, recessed toward one side in the first direction X.

[0067] The first fitting protrusion 331 is a flat plate-like protrusion having a predetermined thickness, and is formed along the first direction X. The first fitting recess 332 is a recess formed by recessing the other end of the bottom surface portion 33 in the second direction Y by the plate thickness of the first fitting protrusion 331. The length of the first fitting recess 332 in the second direction Y is the same as the length of the first fitting protrusion 331 protruding in the second direction Y.

[0068] 4, 5(b), and 6(a), the second fitting protrusion 333 is a flat protrusion having the same thickness as the first fitting protrusion 331, and the length of the bottom surface portion 33 in the first direction X is the same as the length of the first fitting protrusion 331 in the second direction Y. The width of the second fitting protrusion 333 is shorter than the width of the bottom surface portion 33 by the length of the first fitting protrusion 331 in the second direction Y.

[0069] 6(a), the second fitting recess 334 is a recess formed by recessing the other end of the bottom surface portion 33 in the first direction X by twice the plate thickness of the first fitting protrusion 331. The length of the second fitting recess 334 in the first direction X is the same as the length of the second fitting protrusion 333 in the first direction X.

[0070] The ends of the second mating protrusion 333 and the second mating recess 334 on one side in the second direction Y are flush with the connecting portion 35, and the ends of the second mating protrusion 333 and the second mating recess 334 on the other side in the second direction Y are flush with the end of the first mating recess 332 on one side in the second direction Y, i.e., the wall surface of the recess (see Figure 5(a)).

[0071] Further, downward restricting protrusions 335, 335 protruding upward are provided on both end portions in the first direction X at the other end of the bottom surface portion 33 in the second direction Y. The outer ends of the downward restricting protrusions 335, 335 are inclined toward one side in the second direction Y as they extend upward.

[0072] A third fitting recess 336 is provided in the first direction X at a location of the bottom surface portion 33 sandwiched between the downward restricting protrusions 335, 335. The third fitting recess 336 is recessed upward on the lower surface side by the same length as the plate thickness of the second fitting protrusion 333. That is, the third fitting recess 336 is provided at the other end of the bottom surface portion 33 in the second direction Y, where the first fitting recess 332 is further recessed by the plate thickness of the second fitting protrusion 333.

[0073] The bottom surface portion 33 configured in this manner is provided with four locking projections 32 that protrude downward along the first direction X, as shown in FIG. 5(b). The locking protrusion 32 has a bottom surface that is approximately a right-angled triangular prism in side view, with the other side in the first direction X perpendicular to the bottom surface portion 33 and that slopes toward one side in the first direction X as it extends upward, and has a height (length along the second direction Y) that is approximately one-third of the bottom surface portion 33.

[0074] 5 and 6, the top surface portion 34 is configured to be plane-symmetrical to the bottom surface portion 33. That is, the top surface portion 34 is a flat plate having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view, with a length ratio in the first direction X to the second direction Y of 4:3, and is provided with a first fitting convex portion 341 corresponding to the first fitting convex portion 331, a first fitting concave portion 342 corresponding to the first fitting concave portion 332, a second fitting convex portion 343 corresponding to the second fitting convex portion 333, a second fitting concave portion 344 corresponding to the second fitting concave portion 334, upper restricting convex portions 345, 345 corresponding to the lower restricting convex portions 335, 335, and a third fitting concave portion 346 corresponding to the third fitting concave portion 336.

[0075] The first mating protrusion 341, the first mating recess 342, the second mating protrusion 343, the second mating recess 344, the upper regulating protrusions 345, 345, and the third mating recess 346 have the same configuration as the first mating protrusion 331, the first mating recess 332, the second mating protrusion 333, the second mating recess 334, the lower regulating protrusions 335, 335, and the third mating recess 336, except that they are plane-symmetrical with respect to the height direction Z, and therefore will not be described here.

[0076] 6(a) and 6(b), the connecting portion 35 connecting one end side in the second direction Y of the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 is provided with a through-hole 351 penetrating in the second direction Y at the center portion in the first direction X. The width of the through-hole 351 is sufficiently longer than the width of the band portion 22.

[0077] When two mounting members 30 configured in this manner are arranged side by side in the first direction X, the first fitting protrusions 331, 341 can fit into the first fitting recesses 332, 342 of the adjacent mounting member 30. When two mounting members 30 are arranged side by side in the second direction Y, the second fitting protrusions 333, 343 can fit into the second fitting recesses 334, 344.

[0078] Furthermore, by arranging the two mounting members 30 in parallel so that the first direction X and the second direction Y are aligned, the second fitting protrusions 333, 343 can be fitted into the third fitting recesses 336, 346, respectively. In this way, the first mating protrusions 331, 341 and the first mating recesses 332, 342, and the second mating protrusions 333, 343 and the second mating recesses 334, 344 or the third mating recesses 336, 346, are mated with each other to form a connection portion 36 that can connect adjacent and separating mounting members 30 together.

[0079] Furthermore, the band portion 22 can be inserted through the opening 31a of the mounting member 30 along the first direction X, and by inserting the band portion 22 into the through-hole 351, the band portion 22 can be inserted along the second direction Y. In other words, the band portion 22 can be inserted in directions perpendicular to each other.

[0080] The band portion 22 inserted in the first direction X in this manner is positioned along the first direction X by the downward restricting protrusions 335, 335, the upward restricting protrusions 345, 345 and the connecting portion . Furthermore, the band portion 22 inserted in the second direction Y is positioned along the second direction Y by the lower restricting protrusions 335, 335 and the upper restricting protrusions 345, 345 and the through holes 351.

[0081] Here, the connecting portion 35, the downward restricting protrusions 335, 335 and the upward restricting protrusions 345, 345 constitute a first direction restricting portion 37, and the through hole 351, the downward restricting protrusions 335, 335 and the upward restricting protrusions 345, 345 constitute a second direction restricting portion .

[0082] Next, a brief description will be given of a method for holding the flat electric wire 100 with the band clamp 10 for flat electric wire in which the mounting members 30 are attached to the band portion 22. Here, a description will be given of a case in which the flat electric wire 100 is held with the band clamp 10 for flat electric wire in which two mounting members 30 are attached to the band portion 22.

[0083] First, the band portion 22 is inserted through the through-hole 351 of the mounting member 30 (hereinafter referred to as the first mounting member 30A) so that the locking protrusions 32 protrude from the inner surface side of the band portion 22, and the band portion 22 is aligned with the second direction restricting portion 38. This allows the first mounting member 30A to be mounted so that the band portion 22 is aligned with the second direction Y.

[0084] Next, the band portion 22 is inserted through the opening 31a of the second mounting member 30 (hereinafter referred to as the second mounting member 30B) along the first direction X so that the locking protrusions 32 protrude from the inner surface side of the band portion 22, and the band portion 22 is aligned with the first direction restricting portion 37. This allows the second mounting member 30B to be attached so that the band portion 22 is aligned with the first direction X.

[0085] In this way, the band clamp 10 for flat electric wires in which the first attachment member 30A and the second attachment member 30B are attached to the band portion 22 can be prepared. The first mounting member 30A is disposed on the base end side of the band portion 22, and the second mounting member 30B is disposed on the tip side of the first mounting member 30A. Furthermore, the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B can be connected by fitting the first fitting protrusions 331, 341 of the second mounting member 30B into the third fitting recesses 336, 346 of the first mounting member 30A.

[0086] Then, the locking protrusions 32 of the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B are brought into contact with the flat electric wire 100, and the band clamp 10 for flat electric wires is wound around the flat electric wire 100. At the same time, the tip of the band portion 22 is inserted into the insertion opening 231a and pulled out from the pull-out opening 231b, thereby locking and fixing the band portion 22 to the band locking portion 23 (see FIG. 7(b)). This allows the flat electric wire 100 to be held by the band clamp 20 to which the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B are attached.

[0087] In this way, the flat electric wire holding structure 1 that holds the flat electric wire 100 with the band clamp 10 for the flat electric wire aligns the band portion 22 with the second direction regulating portion 38 of the first mounting member 30A and also aligns the band portion 22 with the first direction regulating portion 37 of the second mounting member 30B, thereby making the length in the width direction W of the connected first mounting member 30A and second mounting member 30B approximately the same as the width length of the flat electric wire 100.

[0088] This allows the flat electric wire 100 to be firmly supported by the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B along the width direction W, preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100 and allowing the flat electric wire 100 to be stably fixed by the band portion 22 inserted into the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B.

[0089] Furthermore, by providing the locking protrusions 32, it is possible to maintain the distance between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100 while preventing the flat electric wire 100 from moving during winding, and therefore the bending radius of the band portion 22 can be made larger than when the band portion 22 is arranged along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100. This reduces localized tightening by the band portion 22, and makes it possible to more reliably prevent deformation of the flat electric wire 100 by the band portion 22.

[0090] Furthermore, since the mounting member 30 is made of a synthetic resin having higher rigidity than the band portion 22, the outer shape of the band portion 22 wound around the flat electric wire 100 can be formed to fit the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100. This makes it possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the flat electric wire 100 and the band portion 22, and to more reliably prevent deformation of the flat electric wire 100.

[0091] Furthermore, since the band portion 22 of the mounting member 30 can be inserted through both the first direction restricting portion 37 and the second direction restricting portion 38, the arrangement direction of the mounting member 30 can be changed as needed. For example, when a flat electric wire 100x that is wider than the flat electric wire 100 is held by the flat electric wire band clamp 10, as shown in Fig. 8(a), the band portion 22 can be inserted along the first direction restricting portions 37 of the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B, thereby allowing the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B to be arranged on the flat electric wire 100 so that the first direction X is aligned with the width direction W.

[0092] Here, the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B can be connected by fitting the second fitting convex portions 333, 343 of the first mounting member 30A into the second fitting concave portions 334, 344 of the second mounting member 30B. This allows the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B to support the flat electric wire 100x along the width direction W, and deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be reliably prevented.

[0093] In addition, in the case of a flat electric wire 100y having a width shorter than that of the flat electric wire 100, by inserting the band portion 22 into the second direction regulating portion 38 of the first mounting member 30A and into the second direction regulating portion 38 of the second mounting member 30B, the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B can be arranged on the flat electric wire 100 so that the second direction Y is aligned with the width direction W, as shown in Figure 8(b). Here, the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B can be connected by fitting the first fitting convex portions 331, 341 of the first mounting member 30A into the third fitting concave portions 336, 346 of the second mounting member 30B.

[0094] This allows the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B to support the flat electric wire 100y along the width direction W, similar to when the flat electric wire 100 or the flat electric wire 100x is held by the band clamp 10 for flat electric wires, thereby reliably preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100.

[0095] In this way, by changing the combination of the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B, or by placing only the first mounting member 30A or the second mounting member 30B, it is possible to select from multiple arrangement patterns (here, five patterns) with different lengths along the width direction W, and the mounting members 30 can be appropriately arranged according to the width length of the flat electric wire 100.

[0096] Furthermore, in the flat electric wire holding structure 1, the second mounting member 30B can be arranged so as to straddle the central portion of the flat electric wire 100, which is a portion that is prone to deformation, so that deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be prevented more reliably. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b), even if the boundary between the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B is located in the central portion of the flat electric wires 100x, 100y, which is a location that is prone to deformation, the connection portion 36 supports the flat electric wire 100 in the central portion of the flat electric wire 100, thereby preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100.

[0097] 9, when the flat electric wire 100z protrudes beyond the band fastening portion 23 to the other side in the width direction W, the flat electric wire band clamp 10z having three mounting members 30 attached to the band portion 22 can be wound around the flat electric wire 100, thereby arranging the mounting member 30 (referred to as a third mounting member 30C) in the insertion direction Hd of the flat electric wire 100z. This allows the mounting members 30 to support the flat electric wire 100 in the insertion direction Hd, and more reliably prevents the flat electric wire 100z from being deformed by the band portion 22.

[0098] In this way, the mounting member 30 has a main body 31, a part of which is arranged between the band portion 22 wrapped around the flat electric wire 100 to be arranged in a vehicle and the flat electric wire 100, and the main body 31 is provided with a first direction regulating portion 37 that regulates the position of the band portion 22 along the first direction X, and a second direction regulating portion 38 that regulates the position of the band portion 22 along the second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0099] As a result, by winding the band portion 22, to which the mounting member 30 (main body 31) is attached, around the flat electric wire 100 so that it aligns with the first direction control portion 37 or the second direction control portion 38, the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by the mounting member 30, and the band portion 22 can firmly hold the flat electric wire 100 via the mounting member 30.

[0100] Furthermore, by placing the mounting member 30 at a location that is prone to deformation due to tightening of the band portion 22, such as the central portion of the flat electric wire 100 in the width direction W, deformation of the flat electric wire 100 due to wrapping of the band portion 22 can be prevented, and the flat electric wire 100 can be firmly held by the band portion 22 while maintaining its shape.

[0101] Furthermore, since the mounting member 30 can be attached so that one of the first direction regulating portion 37 and the second direction regulating portion 38 is aligned with the band portion 22, the direction in which the band portion 22 is aligned can be selected depending on, for example, the width and length of the flat electric wire 100 and the working environment, thereby improving workability.

[0102] Furthermore, since the length of the main body 31 along the first direction X is different from the length along the second direction Y, the direction along which the band portion 22 is to be placed can be selected from the first direction X or the second direction Y according to the width of the flat electric wire 100. Therefore, with one main body 31, flat electric wires 100 of different widths can be firmly held by the band portion 22.

[0103] Specifically, the length of the main body 31 along the first direction X is longer than the length along the second direction Y. Therefore, if the width of the flat electric wire 100 is shorter than the length of the main body 31 along the first direction X, the mounting member 30 can be arranged to match the width of the flat electric wire 100 by arranging the main body 31 so that the width direction W of the flat electric wire 100 coincides with the second direction Y.

[0104] Furthermore, if the width of the flat electric wire 100 is longer than the length of the main body 31 along the second direction Y and shorter than the length of the main body 31 along the first direction X, the main body 31 can be positioned so that the first direction X coincides with the width direction W of the flat electric wire 100, thereby allowing the mounting member 30 to be positioned to match the length of the width direction W of the flat electric wire 100.

[0105] In this way, by selecting the direction in which the main body 31 is disposed depending on the width of the flat electric wire 100, the flat electric wire 100 and the main body 31 can be wound around the band body without excessively bending the band portion 22 for flat electric wires 100 of different widths. Therefore, the flat electric wire 100 can be firmly held by the band portion 22.

[0106] Furthermore, since the length along the first direction X is different from the length along the second direction Y, by arranging a plurality of mounting members 30 in selected arrangement directions on the flat electric wire 100, the mounting members 30 can be arranged on the flat electric wire 100 in a plurality of arrangement patterns. In other words, one type of mounting member 30 can be used for flat electric wires 100 of various widths and lengths.

[0107] Furthermore, by adjusting the arrangement direction of the multiple main bodies 31, the mounting member 30 can be intentionally arranged in a location that is prone to bending due to tightening of the band portion 22, such as the central part of the flat electric wire 100 in the width direction W, thereby more reliably preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100.

[0108] Furthermore, since the ratio of the length of the main body 31 along the first direction X to the length along the second direction Y is 4:3, the mounting member 30 can be arranged in a variety of arrangement patterns while finely dividing the entire length of the main body 31 arranged along the width direction W of the flat electric wire 100.

[0109] Specifically, when it is desired to prevent deformation of a flat electric wire 100 having a width approximately equal to the short side of the main body 31 (a width corresponding to a ratio of 3), the deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be prevented by arranging one mounting member 30 so that the short side of the main body 31 is along the width direction W. Also, when it is desired to prevent deformation of a flat electric wire 100 having a width approximately equal to the long side of the main body 31 (a width corresponding to a ratio of 4), the deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be prevented by arranging one mounting member 30 so that the long side of the main body 31 is along the width direction W.

[0110] Furthermore, when the width of the flat electric wire 100 is longer than the same width as the long side of the main body 31 (a width corresponding to a ratio of 4), for example, by arranging two mounting members 30 so that the short side of the main body 31 is aligned with the width direction W, deformation of the flat electric wire 100 having a width appropriate for twice the length of the short side of the main body 31 (a width corresponding to a ratio of 6) can be prevented (see Figure 8(b)). Also, by arranging one mounting member 30 so that the short side of the main body 31 is aligned with the width direction W and arranging another mounting member 30 so that the long side of the main body 31 is aligned with the width direction W, deformation of the flat electric wire 100 having a width appropriate for the sum of the lengths of the short side and long side of the main body 31 (a width corresponding to a ratio of 7) can be prevented. Furthermore, by arranging two mounting members 30 so that the long side of the main body 31 is aligned with the width direction W, deformation of the flat electric wire 100 having a width appropriate for twice the length of the long side of the main body 31 (width corresponding to a ratio of 8) can be prevented (see Figure 8(a)).

[0111] As described above, the ratio of the length of the main body 31 along the first direction X to the length along the second direction Y is 4:3, and therefore, by changing the number and arrangement direction of the mounting members 30, the length of the mounting members 30 along the width direction W can be divided into smaller sections, and flat electric wires 100 of various widths can be accommodated. Furthermore, when the number of mounting members 30 is limited to three or less, by changing the arrangement direction of the mounting members 30, the lengths along the width direction W do not overlap. As a result, mounting members 30 of the same shape can be used to arrange the mounting members 30 on the flat electric wires 100 so as to accommodate the widths of the flat electric wires 100 having various widths, and deformation of the flat electric wires 100 having various widths can be reliably prevented.

[0112] Furthermore, since the mounting member 30 is provided with a locking protrusion 32 that protrudes toward the flat electric wire 100, it is possible to prevent the flat electric wire 100 from shifting position relative to the mounting member 30, and it is possible to improve the efficiency of the work of winding the band portion 22 around the flat electric wire 100 while preventing the flat electric wire 100 from moving and deforming.

[0113] The main body 31 also has a bottom surface portion 33 facing the flat electric wire 100, an upper surface portion 34 arranged at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface portion 33, and a connecting portion 35 connecting the bottom surface portion 33 and the upper surface portion 34 on at least one side in the width direction W.

[0114] As a result, the band portion 22 arranged in the first direction restricting portion 37 or the second direction restricting portion 38 is sandwiched between the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34, preventing the band portion 22 from unintentionally falling off the mounting member 30. This allows the mounting member 30 to be reliably attached to the band portion 22, and the flat electric wire 100 to be firmly supported by the bottom surface portion 33. This prevents a gap from being formed between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100, allowing the flat electric wire 100 to be firmly held.

[0115] Furthermore, the connecting portion 35 connects the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 on one side in the second direction Y, and on the other side in the second direction Y, an opening 31a is formed between the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34, and the second direction restricting portion 38 is composed of a through hole 351 that penetrates the connecting portion 35 in the second direction Y.

[0116] As a result, by inserting the band portion 22 between the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 through the opening 31a, the band portion 22 can be aligned with the first direction restricting portion 37 formed between the connecting portion 35 and the opening 31a. This improves the efficiency of the attachment work of attaching the attachment member 30 to the band portion 22.

[0117] Furthermore, when aligning the band portion 22 with the second direction restricting portion 38, the band portion 22 can be easily aligned with the second direction restricting portion 38 by inserting the band portion 22 into the through hole 351 provided on only one side in the second direction Y and then extracting it to the outside through the opening 31a along the first direction X.

[0118] Further, the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 are provided with downward restricting protrusions 335, 335 and upward restricting protrusions 345, 345 that protrude toward the opposing top surface portion 34 and bottom surface portion 33 on the other side in the second direction Y, and the first direction restricting portion 37 is composed of the connecting portion 35, the downward restricting protrusions 335, 335, and the upward restricting protrusions 345, 345. This restricts movement of the band portion 22 toward the other side in the second direction Y. This prevents the band portion 22 from unintentionally falling off from the opening 31 a of the band portion 22.

[0119] Furthermore, the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 have the connection portions 36 that connect to the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 of another adjacent mounting member 30, so that when a plurality of bodies 31 are arranged along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100, adjacent bodies 31 can be connected to each other. As a result, even when the boundary between the bodies 31 is arranged in a location that is prone to bending due to fastening of the band portion 22, such as the central portion in the width direction W of the flat electric wire 100, the connection portions 36 can support the flat electric wire 100, and deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be prevented.

[0120] Further, the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 are provided with first mating protrusions 331, 341 extending along the second direction Y and second mating protrusions 333, 343 extending along the first direction X, as well as first mating recesses 332, 342 that fit with the first mating protrusions 331, 341 and are recessed along the width direction W, or second mating recesses 334, 344 that fit with the second mating protrusions 333, 343 and are recessed along the first direction X, and third mating recesses 336, 346, and the connecting portion 36 is composed of the first mating protrusions 331, 341, the second mating protrusions 333, 343, the first mating recesses 332, 342, the second mating recesses 334, 344, and the third mating recesses 336, 346.

[0121] This allows for a simple structure to connect adjacent bodies 31. Furthermore, when multiple bodies 31 are arranged along the outer surface of the flat electric wire 100, even if the connection portion 36 is arranged at a portion of the flat electric wire 100 that is prone to bending, the first fitting protrusions 331, 341 and the second fitting protrusions 333, 343 can support the portion of the flat electric wire 100 that is prone to bending, thereby preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100.

[0122] Furthermore, since the mounting member 30 is positioned so as to straddle the center of the width direction W of the flat electric wire 100, the main body 31 can support the portion of the flat electric wire 100 that is prone to bending due to tightening of the band portion 22, thereby more reliably preventing deformation of the flat electric wire 100.

[0123] Furthermore, by attaching a plurality of attachment members 30 (first attachment member 30A and second attachment member 30B) to the band portion 22, flat electric wires 100 of various widths and lengths can be firmly held. In this embodiment, the multiple mounting members 30 (first mounting member 30A and second mounting member 30B) are connected to each other, but they do not necessarily have to be connected, and the first mounting member 30A and the second mounting member 30B may be arranged at a predetermined distance from each other.

[0124] Furthermore, since the mounting members 30 attached to the band portion 22 are oriented in different directions, the main body 31 can be intentionally positioned at a location that is prone to bending due to fastening of the band portion 22, thereby reliably supporting the prone-to-bend portion of the flat electric wire 100. Therefore, deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be more reliably prevented.

[0125] Furthermore, since the mounting members 30 are arranged on both sides of the flat electric wire 100, as shown in FIG. 9, both sides of the flat electric wire 100 can be supported by the mounting members 30, so that the mounting members 30 can receive the local tightening force of the band portion 22 wound around the flat electric wire 100, and deformation of the flat electric wire 100 can be more reliably prevented.

[0126] In correspondence between the configuration of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiment, The arrangement corresponds to the main body 31, and similarly The protrusion corresponds to the locking protrusion 32, The restricting protrusion corresponds to the downward restricting protrusion 335, The restricting protrusion corresponds to the upper restricting protrusion 345, The mating protrusions correspond to the first mating protrusions 331, 341 and the second mating protrusions 333, 343, The fitting recesses correspond to the first fitting recesses 332, 342, the second fitting recesses 334, 344, and the third fitting recesses 336, 346, The flat wire holding structure corresponds to the flat wire holding structure 1. The present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-described embodiments, and many other embodiments can be obtained.

[0127] For example, in this embodiment, the length ratio of the main body 31 in the first direction X to the second direction Y is 4:3, but this is not limited thereto, and the length in the first direction X may be longer than the length in the second direction Y. Furthermore, the length in the first direction X and the length in the second direction Y may be the same.

[0128] In the present embodiment, the connecting portion 35 connects one side of the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 in the second direction Y from one end to the other along the first direction X, but it may connect only a portion. In addition, when the connecting portion 35 connects a portion of the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34, one or more connecting portions 35 may be provided on at least one side in the second direction Y.

[0129] Furthermore, for example, in this embodiment, the main body 31 is shaped so that the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 are connected by a connecting portion 35 on one side in the second direction Y, but it may also be shaped like a tube having connecting portions 35, 35 that connect the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 on one side and the other side in the second direction Y, and the second direction restricting portion 38 may be formed by a through hole 351 that penetrates the connecting portions 35, 35 in the second direction Y. The connecting portions 35, 35 constitute a first direction restricting portion 37 that restricts the band portion 22 to be aligned along the first direction X.

[0130] This allows the band portion 22 to be inserted between the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 with a simple structure. Furthermore, since the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34 are connected by the connecting portions 35 on one side and the other side in the second direction Y, the rigidity of the main body 31 can be improved. Therefore, the main body 31 can firmly support the flat electric wire 100.

[0131] In addition, in this embodiment, the band portion 22 is inserted between the bottom surface portion 33 and the top surface portion 34, but this shape is not limited to this, and for example, the band portion 22 may be placed on top of a solid housing, so that the entire main body 31 is placed between the band portion 22 and the flat electric wire 100.
