[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. The wire harness of the present disclosure includes: [1] A wire harness main body having an electric wire member and an exterior member covering the outer periphery of the electric wire member; a first path regulating member attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member and regulating the path of the wire harness main body; and an attachment member attached to the outer periphery of the first path regulating member at a portion in the longitudinal direction, wherein the first path regulating member has an insertion opening that opens in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first path regulating member and extends over the entire longitudinal direction of the first path regulating member; the attachment member has a receiving portion that covers a portion of the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member, and a lid that, together with the receiving portion, covers the entire periphery of the first path regulating member; the receiving portion has a rail portion that extends along the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion; and the lid has a sliding portion that is engaged with the rail portion and is slidable along the rail portion so that the lid does not separate from the receiving portion; and the receiving portion and the lid sandwich the first path regulating member with the sliding portion engaged with the rail portion.
[0010] According to this configuration, the receiving portion has a rail portion extending along the length of the receiving portion, and the lid has a sliding portion that engages with the rail portion and slides along the rail portion to prevent the lid from separating from the receiving portion, thereby preventing the receiving portion and the lid from separating. That is, when the sliding portion engages with the rail portion and slides to attach the lid to the receiving portion, the rail portion and the sliding portion prevent the receiving portion and the lid from separating in the radial direction of the first path restricting member. This configuration reduces rattle between the receiving portion and the lid compared to, for example, a configuration in which the lid is integrally molded with the receiving portion via a thin hinge portion and the lid is locked to the receiving portion by engaging the claw portion in the closed state. That is, in a configuration with thin hinge portions and claw portions, rattle between the receiving portion and the lid is likely to occur at the hinge portion and the claw portion, but this configuration can avoid this. Therefore, the first path restricting member can be sandwiched between the receiving portion and the lid without rattle, thereby reducing rattle between the first path restricting member and the attachment member.
[0011] [2] It is preferable that the receiving portion has a mating portion, the lid has a lid rotation portion that can rotate via a thin-walled hinge portion, and the lid rotation portion has a lid mating portion that is mated with the mating portion in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion as it rotates.
[0012] According to this configuration, the lid rotation portion of the lid has a lid fitting portion that fits into the fitting portion of the receiving portion in a direction intersecting the length direction of the receiving portion as the lid pivots, thereby preventing the lid from coming off the receiving portion. Because the lid fitting portion is configured to fit into the fitting portion in a direction intersecting the direction in which the sliding portion slides, sliding movement of the sliding portion can be strongly prevented. Therefore, the lid can be strongly prevented from coming off the receiving portion.
[0013] [3] The receiving portion has a fitted portion and a rotating portion that can rotate via a thin hinge portion, and the rotating portion has a fitting portion that is fitted into the fitted portion in a direction intersecting the length direction of the receiving portion as the rotating portion rotates, and it is preferable that the fitting portion prevents the sliding movement of the sliding portion when fitted into the fitted portion.
[0014] According to this configuration, the rotating portion of the receiving portion has a fitting portion that fits into the fitting-receiving portion of the receiving portion in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion as the rotating portion itself rotates.The rotating portion prevents the sliding portion from sliding when the fitting portion is fitted into the fitting-receiving portion, thereby preventing the lid from coming off the receiving portion.Since the fitting portion is configured to fit into the fitting-receiving portion in a direction intersecting the direction in which the sliding portion slides, the sliding portion can be strongly prevented from sliding.Therefore, the lid can be strongly prevented from coming off the receiving portion.
[0015] [4] It is preferable that the rail portion has an engaging protrusion that engages with the sliding portion in a direction to remove the lid from the state where it is attached to the receiving portion while allowing the sliding portion engaged with the rail portion to move.
[0016] According to this configuration, the rail portion has an engaging protrusion that engages with the slide portion in the direction of removing the lid from the receiving portion while allowing the slide portion engaged with the rail portion to move, thereby preventing the lid from coming off the receiving portion.
[0017] [5] It is preferable that the rail portion is provided over the entire length of the receiving portion. According to this configuration, the rail portion is provided over the entire length of the receiving portion, so that, for example, the lid can be attached to the receiving portion from either side in the length direction.
[0018] [6] The rail portion has a rail main body groove that extends at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion so as to gradually move away from the circumferential end of the receiving portion when viewed from the radial direction of the receiving portion, a branch groove that branches off from the base side of the rail main body groove and extends in a direction away from the circumferential end of the receiving portion, and an engaging groove that bends from the tip side of the branch groove and extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion, and the sliding portion has a sliding main body portion that is provided at one end side of the longitudinal direction of the lid and is movable while fitting into the rail main body groove, and an engaging portion that is provided at the other end side of the longitudinal direction of the lid and is movable while fitting into the branch groove and the engaging groove, and it is preferable that the lid is attached to the receiving portion with the sliding main body portion positioned at the tip side of the rail main body groove and the engaging portion positioned in the engaging groove.
[0019] According to this configuration, the lid can be attached to the receiving portion from a direction inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion, which makes the attachment work easier. [7] It is preferable that the mounting member is a second path-regulating member attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member and regulating the path of the wire harness main body, and the receiving portion is provided at the longitudinal end of the second path-regulating member and covers a circumferential portion of the longitudinal end of the first path-regulating member.
[0020] According to this configuration, the receiving portion is provided at the longitudinal end of the second path regulating member and covers a part of the circumferential direction at the longitudinal end of the first path regulating member, thereby connecting the first path regulating member and the second path regulating member in the longitudinal direction, and thus the path of the wire harness main body is continuously regulated by the first path regulating member and the second path regulating member.
[0021] [8] It is preferable that the first path regulating member regulates the path of a straight portion, which is a straight portion in the path of the wire harness main body, and the second path regulating member regulates the path of a bent portion, which is a bent portion in the path of the wire harness main body.
[0022] According to this configuration, the path of the straight portion is restricted by the first path restricting member, and the path of the bent portion is restricted by the second path restricting member, thereby continuously preventing the path of the straight portion and the path of the bent portion of the wire harness from deviating from the desired path.
[0023] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wire harness of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, for convenience of explanation, some of the configuration may be exaggerated or simplified. Furthermore, the dimensional ratios of each part may differ from one drawing to another. In this specification, "parallel" and "orthogonal" do not only refer to cases where the wiring harness is strictly parallel or orthogonal, but also include cases where the wiring harness is roughly parallel or orthogonal within the scope of the effects of this embodiment. Note that the present invention is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.
[0024] (Overall configuration of the wire harness 10) The wire harness 10 shown in FIG. 1 is mounted on a vehicle V, such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle. The wire harness 10 electrically connects two or more on-board devices to each other. The on-board devices are electrical devices mounted on the vehicle V. The wire harness 10 electrically connects, for example, an inverter M1 installed in the front of the vehicle V to a high-voltage battery M2 installed behind the inverter M1 on the vehicle V. The wire harness 10 is formed in an elongated shape so as to extend in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle V. The wire harness 10 is routed in the vehicle V so that, for example, an intermediate portion of the wire harness 10 in the longitudinal direction passes outside the passenger compartment of the vehicle V, such as under the floor of the vehicle V.
[0025] The inverter M1 is connected to, for example, a wheel drive motor (not shown) that serves as a power source for running the vehicle. The inverter M1 generates AC power from DC power from a high-voltage battery M2 and supplies the AC power to the motor. The high-voltage battery M2 is, for example, a battery capable of supplying a voltage of several hundred volts.
[0026] The wire harness 10 has a wire harness main body 11. The wire harness main body 11 has an electric wire member 20 and a cylindrical exterior member 30 that covers the outer periphery of the electric wire member 20. The wire harness 10 has connectors C1 and C2 attached to both ends of the electric wire member 20. One end in the longitudinal direction of the electric wire member 20 is connected to the inverter M1 via the connector C1, and the other end in the longitudinal direction of the electric wire member 20 is connected to the high-voltage battery M2 via the connector C2.
[0027] 2 and 3, the wire harness 10 has a first path-regulating member 40 attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30, and a second path-regulating member 60 as an attachment member attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30. The first path-regulating member 40 and the second path-regulating member 60 regulate the routing path of the wire harness main body 11. Note that the first path-regulating member 40 and the second path-regulating member 60 are not shown in FIG.
[0028] (Configuration of the electric wire member 20) As shown in Figures 4 and 7, the electric wire member 20 may be, for example, one or more electric wires 21, and in this embodiment, it has two electric wires 21 and a braided member 25 that collectively surrounds the outer periphery of the multiple electric wires 21.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 7 , each electric wire 21 is a coated electric wire having a conductive core wire 22 and an insulating coating 23 that surrounds the outer periphery of the core wire 22 and has insulating properties. Each electric wire 21 is, for example, a high-voltage electric wire that can handle high voltages and large currents. Each electric wire 21 may be, for example, a non-shielded electric wire that does not have an electromagnetic shielding structure itself, or a shielded electric wire that has an electromagnetic shielding structure itself. Each electric wire 21 in this embodiment is a non-shielded electric wire.
[0030] The core wire 22 may be, for example, a stranded wire made of multiple stranded metal wires or a single-core wire made of a single conductor. The single-core wire may be, for example, a columnar conductor made of a single columnar metal rod with a solid interior, or a tubular conductor with a hollow interior. The core wire 22 may be a combination of a stranded wire, a columnar conductor, and a tubular conductor. The core wire 22 may be made of, for example, a copper-based or aluminum-based metal material.
[0031] The insulating coating 23, for example, covers the entire circumferential circumference of the outer circumferential surface of the core wire 22. The insulating coating 23 is made of, for example, a resin material having insulating properties. The cross-sectional shape of each electric wire 21 cut along a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the electric wire 21, i.e., the transverse cross-sectional shape of each electric wire 21, can be formed into any shape. The transverse cross-sectional shape of each electric wire 21 is formed into, for example, a circular shape, a semicircular shape, a polygonal shape, a square shape, a flat shape, etc. In this embodiment, the transverse cross-sectional shape of each electric wire 21 is formed into a circular shape.
[0032] The braided member 25 has, for example, a cylindrical shape that collectively surrounds the outer peripheries of the plurality of electric wires 21. The braided member 25 may be, for example, a braided wire formed by weaving together a plurality of metal wires, or a braided wire formed by weaving together metal wires and resin wires. The metal wires may be made of, for example, a copper-based or aluminum-based metal material. Although not shown, both longitudinal ends of the braided member 25 are grounded, for example, via connectors C1 and C2 (see FIG. 1 ).
[0033] (Configuration of exterior member 30) As shown in Fig. 4, the exterior member 30 has a cylindrical shape that surrounds the outer periphery of the electric wire member 20 over the entire circumferential direction. The exterior member 30 of this embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape. For example, the exterior member 30 has a peripheral wall that is continuously formed over the entire circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. For example, the exterior member 30 seals the interior of the exterior member 30 over the entire circumferential direction. The exterior member 30 has a function of protecting the electric wire member 20 from, for example, flying objects and water droplets.
[0034] The exterior member 30 is, for example, flexible and easily bendable. Examples of flexible exterior members 30 include a corrugated tube made of resin and a waterproof cover made of rubber. The exterior member 30 of this embodiment is a corrugated tube made of resin having a bellows shape with diameters that repeatedly increase and decrease in size along the length of the exterior member 30. That is, the exterior member 30 of this embodiment has a bellows structure in which large-diameter portions 31 and small-diameter portions 32, each having a diameter smaller than the large-diameter portions 31, are alternately arranged along the length of the exterior member 30. Each of the large-diameter portions 31 and the small-diameter portions 32 forms, for example, a ring that completes one revolution along the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. Examples of materials that can be used for the exterior member 30 include synthetic resins such as polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, and ABS resin. For simplicity of illustration, the exterior member 30 is illustrated in simplified form in FIGS. 1 to 3 .
[0035] (Configuration of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60) 2 and 3, each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 holds the exterior member 30. For example, each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 is harder than the exterior member 30. Each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 has a hardness that makes it less likely to bend in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the wire harness main body 11 than the exterior member 30. As a result, each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 regulates the path of the wire harness main body 11. For example, each of the first path regulating member 40 and the second path regulating member 60 supports the exterior member 30 so that the wire harness main body 11 does not bend due to its own weight or the like and deviate from the desired path.
[0036] As shown in FIG. 2 , the first path restricting member 40 is provided partially in the length direction of the wire harness main body 11. The first path restricting member 40 is attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30, for example, at a straight portion 11A, which is a straight portion of the path of the wire harness main body 11. The first path restricting member 40 restricts the path of the wire harness main body 11 at the straight portion 11A. Here, the straight portion 11A is a portion where the path of the wire harness main body 11 extends linearly in one direction. Note that one or more first path restricting members 40 may be provided depending on the path of the wire harness main body 11.
[0037] The second path restricting member 60 is provided partially in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness main body 11. The second path restricting member 60 is attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30, for example, at a bent portion 11B, which is a bent portion of the path of the wire harness main body 11. The second path restricting member 60 restricts the path of the wire harness main body 11 at the bent portion 11B. Here, the bent portion 11B is a portion where the path of the wire harness main body 11 is bent so as to deviate from a straight line. Note that one or more second path restricting members 60 are provided depending on the path of the wire harness main body 11.
[0038] (Configuration of the first path regulating member 40) As shown in FIG. 7 , the first path regulating member 40 covers a portion of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 in the circumferential direction. The first path regulating member 40 has a shape that covers the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 in a portion of the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. The cross-sectional shape of the first path regulating member 40 is generally C-shaped. The first path regulating member 40 covers, for example, an area larger than half of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30. That is, the first path regulating member 40 covers an area larger than half of the entire circumferential direction of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30. As shown in FIG. 2 , the first path regulating member 40 extends along the length of the linear portion 11A of the exterior member 30. The first path regulating member 40 is formed, for example, in a shape that extends linearly in one direction. The cross-sectional shape of the first path regulating member 40 is, for example, uniform over the entire length of the first path regulating member 40 in the longitudinal direction.
[0039] The first path regulating member 40 is made of, for example, metal or resin. In this embodiment, the first path regulating member 40 is made of resin. Examples of materials that can be used for the first path regulating member 40 include synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polyamide, and polyacetal. The first path regulating member 40 can be manufactured by well-known manufacturing methods, such as extrusion molding and injection molding. In this embodiment, the first path regulating member 40 is an extrusion-molded product manufactured by extrusion molding. Therefore, the first path regulating member 40 can be easily manufactured by using an extruder that extrudes the raw material of the first path regulating member 40 in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, a single extruder can be used to manufacture multiple types of first path regulating members 40 with different longitudinal dimensions. For example, multiple types of first path regulating members 40 with different longitudinal dimensions can be manufactured by cutting the base material of the first path regulating member 40 formed by a single extruder to any desired length using a cutting machine.
[0040] The first path regulating member 40 has an insertion opening 40X that opens in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first path regulating member 40. The insertion opening 40X extends over the entire longitudinal direction of the first path regulating member 40. The first path regulating member 40 has a first end portion 41 and a second end portion 42 that are both circumferential end portions of the first path regulating member 40 and form the insertion opening 40X. The first path regulating member 40 has a connecting portion 43 that connects the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42. In other words, the first path regulating member 40 has the connecting portion 43 formed to cover a portion of the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30, the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 provided at both ends of the connecting portion 43, and the insertion opening 40X formed by the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42.
[0041] 7, the connecting portion 43 constitutes a main portion of the first path regulating member 40. The radial thickness of the connecting portion 43 is, for example, uniform in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion 43 is, for example, formed into a shape that follows the outer surface of the exterior member 30. The cross-sectional shapes of the first end portion 41, the second end portion 42, and the connecting portion 43 are, for example, formed into an arc shape.
[0042] The first end 41 and the second end 42 are provided on opposite sides of the first path regulating member 40 in the circumferential direction. The first end 41 and the second end 42 are provided apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40, with the insertion opening 40X sandwiched between them. In other words, the gap between the first end 41 and the second end 42 in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40 constitutes the insertion opening 40X. In this way, the first path regulating member 40 is formed in a C-shape, with the insertion opening 40X located at a portion of the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40.
[0043] The cross-sectional shape of the tip of the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 is formed to be curved. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the tip of the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 is formed to be arc-shaped.
[0044] The first path regulating member 40 has a protruding portion 45 protruding from the inner surface of the first end portion 41 and a protruding portion 46 protruding from the inner surface of the second end portion 42. Each of the protruding portions 45, 46 protrudes toward the exterior member 30 inserted inside the first path regulating member 40 and contacts the outer surface of the exterior member 30. Each of the protruding portions 45, 46 contacts the outer surface of the large diameter portion 31 of the exterior member 30. The protruding portion 45 protrudes, for example, from the inner surface of the tip of the first end portion 41. The protruding portion 46 protrudes, for example, from the inner surface of the tip of the second end portion 42. The cross-sectional shape of each of the protruding portions 45, 46 is formed, for example, in a curved shape. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of each of the protruding portions 45, 46 is formed in an arc shape.
[0045] 3, each of the protrusions 45, 46 extends in the length direction of the first path regulating member 40. Each of the protrusions 45, 46 extends, for example, over the entire length of the first path regulating member 40 in the length direction.
[0046] The protrusions 45, 46 press the exterior member 30 from the outside of the exterior member 30. The exterior member 30 is elastically sandwiched between the protrusions 45, 46 and the connecting portion 43. This makes the connection of the first path regulating member 40 to the exterior member 30 strong.
[0047] As shown in FIG. 7, the opening width of the insertion opening 40X, that is, the shortest distance between the first end 41 and the second end 42, is smaller than the outer diameter of the exterior member 30. The opening width of the insertion opening 40X increases as the first path regulating member 40 elastically deforms. For example, the opening width of the insertion opening 40X increases as the exterior member 30 is inserted into the insertion opening 40X from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first path regulating member 40. When the exterior member 30 is inserted into the first path regulating member 40, the first path regulating member 40 elastically returns to its original shape. As a result, the opening width of the insertion opening 40X becomes smaller than the outer diameter of the exterior member 30, and the first path regulating member 40 is attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30.
[0048] (Configuration of the second path regulating member 60) 2, the second path regulating member 60 is attached to the outer periphery of a portion of the first path regulating member 40 in the longitudinal direction. The second path regulating member 60 is attached to the outer periphery of an end portion of the first path regulating member 40 in the longitudinal direction. The second path regulating member 60 is also attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 at the bent portion 11B. The second path regulating member 60 extends along the longitudinal direction of the exterior member 30 at the bent portion 11B. The second path regulating member 60 is bent, for example, to follow the shape of the bent portion 11B.
[0049] The second path regulation member 60 includes a second path regulation body 61 and a lid 62 . The second path regulating body 61 and the lid 62 constituting the second path regulating member 60 are each made of, for example, metal or resin. In this embodiment, the second path regulating body 61 and the lid 62 are made of resin. As materials for the second path regulating body 61 and the lid 62, for example, synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polyamide, and polyacetal can be used. The second path regulating body 61 and the lid 62 can be manufactured by a well-known manufacturing method such as injection molding.
[0050] The second path regulation body 61 has a body portion 64 and a receiving portion 65 . The main body portion 64 covers a portion of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 in the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. The main body portion 64 has a shape that covers the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 in a portion of the circumferential direction of the exterior member 30. The cross-sectional shape of the main body portion 64 is a semi-cylindrical shape as a whole. The main body portion 64 covers half of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30. As shown in FIG. 2, the main body portion 64 extends along the length direction of the exterior member 30 at the bent portion 11B. The main body portion 64 is bent to follow the shape of the bent portion 11B.
[0051] The receiving portion 65 is provided at the end of the second path regulating member 60 in the longitudinal direction, which is also the end of the main body portion 64 in the longitudinal direction. The receiving portion 65 covers a portion of the circumferential direction of the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40. The receiving portion 65 covers a portion of the circumferential direction of the end of the first path regulating member 40 in the longitudinal direction. The receiving portion 65 has a shape that covers the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40 in a portion of the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40. The cross-sectional shape of the receiving portion 65 as a whole is semi-cylindrical. The receiving portion 65 has a semi-cylindrical shape with a diameter larger than that of the main body portion 64. The receiving portion 65 covers half of the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40.
[0052] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 , the receiving portion 65 has a rail portion 66 that extends along the length of the second path regulating member 60, which is also the length of the receiving portion 65. The rail portion 66 is a groove that is recessed from the outer periphery of the receiving portion 65. In this embodiment, the rail portion 66 is not inclined with respect to the length of the receiving portion 65, but extends parallel to the length of the receiving portion 65. The rail portion 66 is provided near both ends of the circumferential direction of the receiving portion 65. The rail portion 66 is provided over the entire length of the receiving portion 65. In other words, the rail portion 66 is open at both ends of the length of the receiving portion 65. The rail portion 66 has an engaging protrusion 67. As shown in FIG. 5 , two engaging protrusions 67 are provided in the length direction of the rail portion 66. The engaging protrusions 67 are provided on the rail portion 66 near the ends of the rail portion 66 in the length direction. The engaging protrusion 67 protrudes radially outward from the bottom of the rail portion 66. The engaging protrusion 67 has a spherical shape. More specifically, the engaging protrusion 67 has a shape in which less than half of a sphere is cut off along a single plane.
[0053] The lid 62, together with the receiving portion 65, covers the entire periphery of the first path regulating member 40. More specifically, the lid 62, together with the receiving portion 65, covers the entire circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40. The lid 62 of this embodiment covers a part of the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40 and a portion of the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 that is exposed from the insertion opening 40X. The cross-sectional shape of the lid 62 is semicylindrical as a whole. The lid 62 has a semicylindrical shape with the same diameter as the receiving portion 65. The lid 62 covers a portion of the circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40 that is not covered by the receiving portion 65, that is, half of the circumferential direction along the outer periphery of the first path regulating member 40.
[0054] 4 to 7, the lid 62 has a slide portion 68. The slide portion 68 is slidable along the rail portion 66 while engaging with the rail portion 66 so that the lid 62 does not separate from the receiving portion 65.
[0055] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 , extending portions 69 are provided at both circumferential ends of the lid 62. The extending portions 69 protrude radially outward from the lid 62, bend further, and extend to positions facing the rail portions 66. Slide portions 68 are provided at the tips of the extending portions 69 and protrude radially inward from the lid 62 to fit into the rail portions 66. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the slide portions 68 extend along the length of the lid 62. The slide portions 68 are fitted into and engaged with the rail portions 66 and slide along the rail portions 66, thereby facing the receiving portions 65 and attaching the lid 62 to the receiving portions 65 to sandwich the first path regulating member 40 therebetween. That is, the receiving portions 65 and the lid 62 sandwich the first path regulating member 40 with the slide portions 68 fitted into and engaged with the rail portions 66.
[0056] The sliding portion 68 is disposed between the engaging protrusions 67 when the lid 62 is attached to the receiving portion 65. In other words, the engaging protrusions 67 are provided on both sides of the sliding portion 68 when the lid 62 is attached to the receiving portion 65. Here, the engaging protrusions 67 allow movement of the sliding portion 68 that is fitted into and engaged with the rail portion 66. That is, the engaging protrusions 67 protrude to an extent that the sliding portion 68 can overcome the engaging protrusions 67 when the lid 62 is attached to the receiving portion 65, for example, by slight bending of the lid 62. Furthermore, the engaging protrusions 67 engage with the sliding portion 68 in a direction in which the lid 62 is removed from the receiving portion 65, thereby preventing the lid 62 from falling off the receiving portion 65. That is, the engaging protrusions 67 engage with the sliding portion 68 to an extent that the attached lid 62 does not slide along the length direction of the receiving portion 65 even when a small force such as vibration is applied to the second path restricting member 60.
[0057] 2 , the wire harness 10 includes a slide restricting member 70 that restricts sliding movement of the first path restricting member 40 in the length direction of the exterior member 30. The wire harness 10 includes a slide restricting member 71 that restricts sliding movement of the second path restricting member 60 in the length direction of the exterior member 30. Examples of the slide restricting members 70 and 71 that can be used include resin or metal cable ties, crimping rings, and adhesive tapes. The slide restricting members 70 and 71 in this embodiment are adhesive tapes. The slide restricting member 70 is wrapped around an end of the first path restricting member 40 that is not connected to the second path restricting member 60 and the exterior member 30. The slide restricting member 71 is wrapped around an end of the second path restricting member 60 that is not connected to the first path restricting member 40 and the exterior member 30.
[0058] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 maintain a state in which the first path-regulating member 40 is sandwiched between them by the rail portion 66 and the slide portion 68. Therefore, the first path-regulating member 40 and the second path-regulating member 60 maintain a connected state. Therefore, the path of the wire harness main body 11 is continuously regulated.
[0059] Next, the effects of the above embodiment will be described below. (1) The receiving portion 65 has a rail portion 66 extending along the length of the receiving portion 65, and the lid 62 has a slide portion 68 that is slidable along the rail portion 66 while engaging with the rail portion 66 so as to prevent the lid 62 from separating from the receiving portion 65. This prevents the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 from separating. That is, when the slide portion 68 slides while engaging with the rail portion 66 to attach the lid 62 to the receiving portion 65, the rail portion 66 and the slide portion 68 prevent the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 from separating in the radial direction of the first path restricting member 40. This reduces rattling between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 compared to, for example, a configuration in which the lid 62 is integrally molded with the receiving portion 65 via a thin hinge portion and the lid 62 is locked to the receiving portion 65 by engagement of a claw portion in the closed state. That is, in a configuration having thin hinge portions and claw portions, rattles tend to occur between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 at the hinge portions and the claw portions, but this can be avoided. Therefore, the first path restricting member 40 can be sandwiched between the receiving portion 65 and the lid 62 without rattles, and rattles between the first path restricting member 40 and the second path restricting member 60 can be suppressed. As a result, for example, damage to the attachment portions of the first path restricting member 40 and the second path restricting member 60 can be suppressed, and the path of the wire harness main body 11 can be stably restricted.
[0060] (2) The rail portion 66 has an engaging protrusion 67 that engages with the slide portion 68 in the direction of removing the lid 62 from the state in which it is attached to the receiving portion 65, while allowing the slide portion 68 engaged with the rail portion 66 to move, thereby preventing the lid 62 from coming off the receiving portion 65.
[0061] (3) The rail portion 66 is provided over the entire length of the receiving portion 65, so that, for example, the lid 62 can be attached to the receiving portion 65 from either side in the length direction. (4) The attachment member attached to the first path-regulating member 40 is the second path-regulating member 60 that is attached to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30 and regulates the path of the wire harness main body 11. The receiving portion 65 is provided at an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the second path-regulating member 60 and covers a part of the circumferential direction at the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the first path-regulating member 40, thereby connecting the first path-regulating member 40 and the second path-regulating member 60 in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the path of the wire harness main body 11 is continuously regulated by the first path-regulating member 40 and the second path-regulating member 60.
[0062] (5) The first path-regulating member 40 regulates the path of the straight portion 11A of the wire harness main body 11, and the second path-regulating member 60 regulates the path of the bent portion 11B of the wire harness main body 11. This continuously prevents the path of the straight portion 11A and the path of the bent portion 11B of the wire harness main body 11 from deviating from the desired path.
[0063] (Other embodiments) The above embodiment can be modified as follows: The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other within the scope of technical compatibility.
[0064] In the above embodiment, the lid 62 has a semi-cylindrical shape with the same diameter as the receiving portion 65, but the shape may be changed to another shape as long as it covers the entire circumference of the first path regulating member 40 together with the receiving portion 65.
[0065] For example, as shown in Fig. 8, the lid 80 may be an arc-shaped lid with a diameter larger than that of the receiving portion 65. Note that the lid 80 in this example does not have the extension portion 69 of the above embodiment. The slide portion 68 protrudes radially inward from both ends of the lid 80 in the circumferential direction. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained.
[0066] In the above embodiment, the rail portion 66 is not inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion 65, but extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion 65. However, the rail portion 66 may be configured to extend along the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion 65 while being inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion 65. In this case, it is of course necessary to change the configuration of the slide portion 68 of the lid 62.
[0067] 9 and 10, for example, the configuration may be modified. A rail portion 82 of a receiving portion 81 in this example has a rail main body groove 83 that extends at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion 81 so as to gradually move away from the circumferential end of the receiving portion 81 when viewed in the radial direction of the receiving portion 81. The rail portion 82 also has a branch groove 84 that branches off from the base side of the rail main body groove 83 and extends in a direction away from the circumferential end of the receiving portion 81, and an engaged groove 85 that bends from the tip side of the branch groove 84 and extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion 81.
[0068] In this example, the slide portion 87 of the lid 86 has a slide main body portion 88 that is provided at one end of the length of the lid 86 and is movable while fitting into the rail main body groove 83, and a locking portion 89 that is provided at the other end of the length of the lid 86 and is movable while fitting into the branch groove 84 and the locking groove 85.
[0069] 10 , the lid 86 is attached to the receiving part 81 by arranging the slide main body part 88 on the tip side of the rail main body groove 83 and arranging the locking part 89 in the locked groove 85. More specifically, the lid 86 is slid along the rail main body groove 83 while the slide main body part 88 is fitted into and engaged with the rail main body groove 83, and then the locking part 89 is moved through the branch groove 84 to reach the locked groove 85, thereby attaching the lid 86 to the receiving part 81. The lid 86 attached in this manner sandwiches the first path-restricting member 40 between itself and the receiving part 81.
[0070] In this way, the lid 86 can be attached to the receiving portion 81 from a direction inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the receiving portion 81. This makes the attachment work easier. In the above embodiment, the rail portion 66 has an engaging protrusion 67 that engages with the slide portion 68, which prevents the lid 62 from coming off the receiving portion 65, but other structures may also be used to prevent the lid 62 from coming off the receiving portion 65.
[0071] For example, it may be modified as shown in Figures 11 to 14. In this example, the same components as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. 11 and 12, the receiving portion 91 in this example has a fitted portion 92. The fitted portion 92 is provided at an end of the receiving portion 91 in the longitudinal direction. The fitted portion 92 is provided at an end of the receiving portion 91 on the main body portion 64 side of the second path regulating main body 61. The fitted portion 92 is provided at both circumferential ends of the receiving portion 91.
[0072] 13 and 14, the lid 62 of this example has a lid rotation part 94 that is rotatable via a thin hinge part 93. The hinge part 93 is provided at an end of the lid 62 in the longitudinal direction. The hinge part 93 is provided at the center of the lid 62 in the circumferential direction. The cross-sectional shape of the lid rotation part 94 is semi-cylindrical as a whole, similar to the lid 62. In other words, the cross-sectional shape of the lid rotation part 94 is formed so as to form a cylindrical shape together with the receiving part 91.
[0073] The lid rotation part 94 has lid claw parts 95 as lid fitting parts that fit into the fitted part 92 in the length direction of the receiving part 91 as the lid rotation part 94 rotates, i.e., in a direction intersecting the direction along the rail part 66. The lid claw parts 95 are engageable in a direction that fits into the fitted part 92 in a direction intersecting the length direction of the receiving part 91 as the lid rotation part 94 rotates, but does not come off the fitted part 92. Furthermore, the lid claw parts 95 are engageable with the fitted part 92 in the length direction of the receiving part 91 when fitted into the fitted part 92.
[0074] In this example, the slide portion 68 engages with the rail portion 66 while sliding, thereby preventing the receiving portion 91 and the lid 62 from moving radially apart, and further, the slide portion 68 is prevented from sliding by the lid claw portion 95 being fitted into the fitted portion 92.
[0075] That is, in this example, the lid 62 is further prevented from coming off the receiving portion 91. The lid claw portion 95 is configured to be fitted into the fitted portion 92 in a direction intersecting the direction in which the sliding portion 68 slides, and therefore, the sliding portion 68 can be strongly prevented from sliding. Therefore, the lid 62 can be strongly prevented from coming off the receiving portion 91.
[0076] 12 , the lid rotation portion 94 in this example has one or more, two protrusions 96 in this example, protruding from the inner surface of the lid rotation portion 94. The multiple protrusions 96 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the second path regulating member 60. Each protrusion 96 is provided, for example, at the central portion in the circumferential direction of the lid rotation portion 94. Each protrusion 96 is formed, for example, to fit between the large diameter portions 31 of the exterior member 30 when the lid claw portion 95 is fitted into the fitting portion 92. Each protrusion 96 is formed, for example, so that the tip of the protrusion 96 contacts the outer circumferential surface of the small diameter portion 32. This suppresses movement of the exterior member 30 relative to the second path regulating member 60 in the longitudinal direction of the exterior member 30. This effectively suppresses positional displacement of the second path regulating member 60 relative to the exterior member 30 in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness main body 11.
[0077] As shown in Figures 13 and 14, in this example, the rail portion 66 is configured to have the engaging protrusion 67, but this is not limited to this and the rail portion 66 may be configured not to have the engaging protrusion 67.
[0078] In this example, the fitted portion 92 is provided at the end of the receiving portion 91 on the main body portion 64 side of the second path regulating main body 61, but it may be provided at the end opposite to the main body portion 64, or at both longitudinal ends of the receiving portion 91. In this case, it is preferable to provide a lid rotation portion 94 according to the position of the fitted portion 92.
[0079] In addition, in this example, the lid rotation portion 94 has two protrusions 96, but this is not limited to this, and the number of protrusions 96 may be changed, or the lid rotation portion 94 may not have any protrusions 96.
[0080] Also, for example, modifications may be made as shown in Figures 15 and 16. In this example, the same components as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the receiving portion 97 in this example has a fitted portion 98. The fitted portion 98 is provided at an end of the receiving portion 97 in the longitudinal direction. The fitted portion 98 is provided at the end of the receiving portion 97 opposite the main body portion 64 of the second path regulating main body 61. The fitted portion 98 is provided at one circumferential end of the receiving portion 97. Note that the circumferential length of the receiving portion 97 at the portion where the fitted portion 98 is provided is shorter than the circumferential length of the receiving portion 97 at the portion where the rail portion 66 is provided.
[0081] 15 , the receiving portion 97 in this example has a rotating portion 100 that is rotatable via a thin hinge portion 99. The hinge portion 99 is provided at the end of the receiving portion 97 opposite to the main body portion 64 of the second path regulation main body 61. The hinge portion 99 is provided at the other end in the circumferential direction of the receiving portion 97. The cross-sectional shape of the rotating portion 100 and the receiving portion 97 is formed to be cylindrical.
[0082] The rotating part 100 has a claw part 101 as a fitting part that fits into the fitted part 98 in the length direction of the receiving part 97, i.e., in a direction intersecting the direction along the rail part 66, as the rotating part 100 itself rotates. The claw part 101 is engageable in a direction that fits into the fitted part 98 in a direction intersecting the length direction of the receiving part 97 as the rotating part 100 rotates, and does not come off the fitted part 98. Furthermore, the claw part 101 is engageable with the fitted part 98 in the length direction of the receiving part 97 when fitted into the fitted part 98. With the claw part 101 fitted into the fitted part 98, the rotating part 100 is positioned to engage with the lid 62, and together with the lid 62, prevents the sliding part 68 from sliding.
[0083] In this example, the slide portion 68 engages with the rail portion 66 while sliding, thereby preventing the receiving portion 97 and the lid 62 from separating radially, and further, the claw portion 101 is fitted into the fitted portion 98, thereby preventing the slide portion 68 from sliding.
[0084] That is, in this example, the lid 62 is further prevented from coming off the receiving portion 97. The claw portion 101 is configured to be fitted into the fitted portion 98 in a direction intersecting the direction in which the sliding portion 68 slides, and therefore, the sliding portion 68 can be strongly prevented from sliding. Therefore, the lid 62 can be strongly prevented from coming off the receiving portion 97.
[0085] 15, the rotating portion 100 in this example has one or more, in this example, two, protrusions 102 protruding from the inner surface of the rotating portion 100. The multiple protrusions 102 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the second path-restricting member 60. Each protrusion 102 is provided, for example, at the central portion in the circumferential direction of the rotating portion 100. Each protrusion 102 is formed, for example, to fit between the large-diameter portions 31 of the exterior member 30 when the claw portions 101 are fitted into the fitting portions 98. Each protrusion 102 is formed, for example, so that the tip of the protrusion 102 contacts the outer circumferential surface of the small-diameter portion 32. This suppresses movement of the exterior member 30 relative to the second path-restricting member 60 in the longitudinal direction of the exterior member 30. This effectively suppresses positional displacement of the second path-restricting member 60 relative to the exterior member 30 in the longitudinal direction of the wire harness main body 11.
[0086] 16, in this example, the rail portion 66 is configured to have the engaging protrusion 67, but is not limited to this and may be configured not to have the engaging protrusion 67. Also, the rail portion 66 may be configured so that the end of the receiving portion 97 on the main body portion 64 side of the second path regulation main body 61 is not open.
[0087] In addition, in this example, the rotating part 100 has two protrusions 102, but this is not limited to this, and the number of protrusions 102 may be changed, or the rotating part 100 may not have any protrusions 102.
[0088] In the above embodiment, the rail portion 66 has two engaging protrusions 67, but this is not limited to this. For example, the rail portion 66 may have only one engaging protrusion 67, or may have no engaging protrusions 67 at all.
[0089] In the above embodiment, the rail portion 66 is provided over the entire length of the receiving portion 65, but this is not limitative and the rail portion 66 may not extend to either end of the length of the receiving portion 65. In other words, the rail portion 66 may be open only at one end of the length of the receiving portion 65 and not open at the other end of the length of the receiving portion 65.
[0090] Although the second path restricting member 60 in the above embodiment is formed to restrict the path of the bent portion 11B of the wire harness main body 11, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the second path restricting member 60 may be modified to have a shape that restricts the path of the straight portion 11A of the wire harness main body 11. In this case, for example, the bent shape of the main body portion 64 of the second path restricting member 60 is modified to have a shape that extends linearly.
[0091] In the above embodiment, the attachment member attached to the first path-regulating member 40 is embodied as the second path-regulating member 60, but this is not limiting. For example, the attachment member may be embodied as a vehicle attachment member for attaching the first path-regulating member 40 to the vehicle V.
[0092] The structure of the first path regulating member 40 in the above embodiment can be modified as appropriate. For example, as long as the first path regulating member 40 has an insertion opening 40X and is configured to be attachable to the outer periphery of the exterior member 30, other structures of the first path regulating member 40 are not particularly limited.
[0093] The protrusion 45 of the above embodiment may be provided at a position farther from the insertion opening 40X than the tip of the first end 41 in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40. The protrusion 46 in the above embodiment may be provided at a position farther from the insertion opening 40X than the tip of the second end 42 in the circumferential direction of the first path regulating member 40.
[0094] The protrusions 45 and 46 in the above embodiment may be provided partially in the length direction of the first path regulating member 40 . At least one of the protrusions 45, 46 in the above embodiment may be omitted.
[0095] In the first path restriction member 40 of the above embodiment, the radial thickness of the connecting portion 43 may be configured to vary in the circumferential direction. The shape of the connecting portion 43 of the first path regulating member 40 in the above embodiment is not limited to a circular arc shape, but may be changed to, for example, an elliptical arc shape or a U-shape.
[0096] In the above embodiment, the first path restricting member 40 and the second path restricting member 60 are harder than the exterior member 30, but this is not limiting and the first path restricting member 40 and the second path restricting member 60 may have a hardness equal to or less than that of the exterior member 30. In other words, the first path restricting member 40 and the second path restricting member 60 only need to act to make the wire harness main body 11 less likely to bend than the wire harness main body 11 in a state where the first path restricting member 40 and the second path restricting member 60 are not attached.
[0097] The exterior member 30 of the above embodiment may be, for example, a corrugated tube made of resin, on the outer surface of which a metal layer containing a metal material is provided. The exterior member 30 in the above embodiment is not limited to a corrugated tube, and may be, for example, an exterior member that does not have the large diameter portion 31 and the small diameter portion 32.
[0098] The exterior member 30 in the above embodiment may have a slit extending in the length direction of the exterior member 30. In the above embodiment, the electric wire 21 is a high-voltage electric wire, but this is not limiting. For example, the electric wire 21 may be a low-voltage electric wire.
[0099] In the electric wire member 20 of the above embodiment, the electromagnetic shielding member is embodied as the braided member 25, but this is not limiting. For example, the electromagnetic shielding member in the electric wire member 20 may be embodied as a metal foil.
[0100] The braided member 25 in the electric wire member 20 of the above embodiment may be omitted. In the above embodiment, the electric wire member 20 includes two electric wires 21, but this is not limitative. The number of electric wires 21 may be one, or three or more.
[0101] The relative positions of the inverter M1 and the high-voltage battery M2 in the vehicle V are not limited to those in the above embodiment, and may be changed as appropriate depending on the vehicle configuration. In the above embodiment, the multiple on-board devices electrically connected by the wire harness 10 are embodied as the inverter M1 and the high-voltage battery M2, but are not limited thereto. The multiple on-board devices electrically connected by the wire harness 10 are not particularly limited as long as they are electrical devices mounted on the vehicle V.
[0102] The embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not by the above meaning, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.
