[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.
[0010] The wiring structure of the wire harness of the present disclosure is as follows.
[0011] (1) A wiring structure for a wire harness relative to a plate-shaped wiring target member having a first surface and a second surface, the wiring harness including a base, a wiring member to be routed on the base, and a fixing portion for fixing the base to the wiring target member, wherein the base includes a first planar portion covering the first surface, a second planar portion covering the second surface, and a connecting portion that bendably connects the first planar portion and the second planar portion to each other on one side of the wiring target member, and the wiring member includes a first wiring member held on the first planar portion and a second wiring member held on the second planar portion.
[0012] According to the wiring structure of the wire harness of (1), by attaching the base on which the first wiring member and the second wiring member are arranged to the plate-shaped wiring target member, the wire harness can be easily arranged on both sides of the plate-shaped wiring target member. Since the base includes a connecting portion, compared to when the first planar portion and the second planar portion are connected so as not to bend, the wiring harness can be easily arranged on the first planar portion and the second planar portion. 2 This makes it easy to route the second wiring member to the planar portion.
[0013] (2) In the wiring structure of the wire harness of (1), both the first planar portion and the second planar portion may have a rigidity that makes them more difficult to bend than the connecting portion, thereby making both the first planar portion and the second planar portion members of high rigidity, and facilitating their arrangement opposite a plate-shaped wiring target member.
[0014] (3) In the wiring structure of the wire harness of (2), the base may be a single rigid plate material from the first planar portion to the second planar portion, and the connecting portion may be formed in a hinge shape that is more easily bent than the first planar portion and the second planar portion, thereby suppressing an increase in the number of parts of the base.
[0015] (4) In the wiring structure of the wire harness of (1), either the first planar portion or the second planar portion may have a rigidity that makes it more difficult to bend than the connecting portion, thereby making either the first planar portion or the second planar portion a member with high rigidity, and making it easy to arrange the first planar portion or the second planar portion opposite the wiring target member.
[0016] (5) In the wiring structure of any one of (1) to (4), the fixing portion may fix each of the first planar portion and the second planar portion to the wiring target member, thereby making it possible to firmly fix each of the first planar portion and the second planar portion to the wiring target member.
[0017] (6) In the wiring structure of any one of (1) to (4), the fixing portion may fix the first planar portion and the second planar portion on the side opposite to the connecting portion, whereby the base is maintained in a state surrounding the wiring target member, and the base is fixed to the wiring target member.
[0018] (7) In the wiring structure of any one of (1) to (6), the first wiring member may extend to pass through the base, and an end of the second wiring member may be located on the base. This makes it easy to route the first wiring member, which passes through the wiring target member, and the second wiring member, which is connected to a device or the like at the position of the wiring target member, separately to the wiring target member.
[0019] (8) In the wiring structure of any one of (1) to (7), the wire harness may have a branch portion branching from a trunk portion into the first wiring member and the second wiring member, and a distance between the base and the branch portion may be shorter than a length of the first wiring member extending on the first planar portion. This makes it easy to position the branch portion of the first wiring member and the second wiring member near the base.
[0020] (9) In the wiring structure of any one of (1) to (8), the wiring target member may be a part of a frame of a vehicle seat, thereby making it possible to easily wire the wire harness in the vehicle seat.
[0021] (10) Furthermore, the wire harness of the present disclosure is a wire harness to be routed to a plate-shaped routing target member including a first surface and a second surface, and includes: a base including a first planar portion covering the first surface, a second planar portion covering the second surface, and a connecting portion that flexibly connects the first planar portion and the second planar portion to each other; and a wiring member including a first wiring member held on the first planar portion and a second wiring member held on the second planar portion.
[0022] According to the wire harness of (10), by attaching the base on which the first wiring member and the second wiring member are arranged to the plate-shaped wiring target member, the wire harness can be easily arranged on both sides of the plate-shaped wiring target member. Since the base includes a connecting portion, compared to when the first planar portion and the second planar portion are connected so as not to bend, the wiring harness can be easily arranged on the first planar portion and the second planar portion. 2 This makes it easy to route the second wiring member to the planar portion.
[0023] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the wiring structure of the wire harness of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present disclosure 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] [Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, the wiring structure of the wire harness according to the first embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view showing the wiring structure 20 of the wire harness according to the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the wiring structure 20 of the wire harness according to the first embodiment. Figs. 3 and 4 are explanatory views showing how the wire harness 30 is attached to the wiring target member 14. Note that Fig. 3 assumes that the first planar portion 33 is attached to the wiring target member 14 before the second planar portion 34, and Fig. 3 shows a front view of the wire harness 30 before being bent. Fig. 4 assumes that the second planar portion 34 is attached to the wiring target member 14 before the first planar portion 33, and Fig. 4 shows a back view of the wire harness 30 before being bent. The front-rear directions (FRONT, REAR), left-right directions (LEFT, RIGHT), and up-down directions (UP, LOW) shown in each figure correspond to the front-rear directions, left-right directions, and up-down directions in the vehicle.
[0025] The wiring harness routing structure 20 is configured to route wiring members 40 to both the first surface 15 and the second surface 16 of a plate-shaped routing target member 14 including a first surface 15 and a second surface 16. First, the routing target member 14 will be described.
[0026] Here, it is assumed that the routing target component 14 is part of the framework 11 of a vehicle seat 10. The seat 10 includes the framework 11 and a cushion 18. The framework 11 includes a lower frame 12 that supports a portion of the cushion 18 that serves as a seat surface, and an upper frame 13 that supports a portion of the cushion 18 that serves as a backrest. The lower frame 12 is supported by the floor. The lower frame 12 may be supported slidably relative to the floor via slide rails, or may be supported non-slidably. For example, the upper frame 13 has a left frame portion 13L, a right frame portion 13R, and a connecting frame portion 14. The left frame portion 13L and the right frame portion 13R extend from the lower frame 12 in the height direction of the backrest on both the left and right sides of the seat 10. The connecting frame portion 14 extends in the left-right direction to connect the left frame portion 13L and the right frame portion 13R at a position close to the lower frame 12. Here, the connecting frame portion 14 is the routing target component 14.
[0027] The routing target component 14 is, for example, a plate-like component having a rectangular shape. The main surfaces of the routing target component 14 extend in the left-right direction and in the height direction of the backrest portion. The height direction of the backrest portion is the extension direction of the backrest portion from the seat portion. The backrest portion can be rotated relative to the seat portion. The height direction of the backrest portion may be inclined with respect to the up-down direction. The direction connecting the front and rear surfaces of the backrest portion is the thickness direction of the routing target component 14. In the routing target component 14, the surface located on the front side of the backrest portion is the first surface 15, and the surface located on the rear side of the backrest portion is the second surface 16. The routing target component 14 is formed in a rectangular shape. The long sides of the routing target component 14 extend in the left-right direction, and the short sides extend in the height direction of the backrest portion.
[0028] Here, the routing target component 14 is a rigid component made of metal. The routing target component 14 may be made of resin. A through hole 17 is formed in the routing target component 14, extending from the first surface 15 to the second surface 16. The first surface 15 and the second surface 16 may be flat surfaces except for the portions where the through hole 17 is formed. The first surface 15 and the second surface 16 may be provided with an uneven portion in order to increase the rigidity of the routing target component 14. The uneven portion may be a rib, or may be a portion where a plate material is bent in the thickness direction.
[0029] The routing target component 14 is not limited to the above. The routing target component 14 may be any plate-shaped component that is disposed in a vehicle and has wiring components routed on both sides. It is also preferable that one side of the routing target component 14 has a space in which a connecting portion 35 of a base 32 (described later) can be disposed.
[0030] The wiring structure 20 for a wire harness includes a wire harness 30 and a fixing portion 60. The wire harness 30 includes a base 32 and a wiring member 40 that is routed on the base 32. The fixing portion 60 fixes the wire harness 30 to a routing target member 14.
[0031] The base 32 includes a first planar portion 33 covering the first surface 15, a second planar portion 34 covering the second surface 16, and a connecting portion 35 connecting the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34. The first planar portion 33 has a first inner surface 33A facing the routing target component 14 and a first outer surface 33B opposite the first inner surface 33A. The second planar portion 34 has a second inner surface 34A facing the routing target component 14 and a second outer surface 34B opposite the second inner surface 34A. The first inner surface 33A and the second outer surface 34B face toward the rear of the vehicle, and the first outer surface 33B and the second inner surface 34A face toward the front of the vehicle. The connecting portion 35 bendably connects the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 to each other on one side of the routing target component 14. Here, both the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 have rigidity that makes them more difficult to bend than the connecting portion 35 .
[0032] Here, the base 32 is a single rigid plate 132A extending from the first planar portion 33 to the second planar portion 34. The first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 are difficult to bend due to the rigidity of the rigid plate 132A. The connecting portion 35 is formed to have a hinge-shaped portion 36 that is easier to bend than the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34. The hinge-shaped portion 36 partially reduces the rigidity of the rigid plate 132A. For example, the hinge-shaped portion 36 may be formed by cutting a slit in the rigid plate 132A or by partially cutting out a part of a rigid member. Alternatively, the rigid plate 132A may be formed in advance to have a partially thin portion, and the thin portion may be the hinge-shaped portion 36.
[0033] Here, two hinge-shaped portions 36 are provided. One hinge-shaped portion 36 is connected to the first planar portion 33, and the other hinge-shaped portion 36 is connected to the second planar portion 34. The two hinge-shaped portions 36 and the portion between them form a connecting portion. There may be only one hinge-shaped portion 36. In this case, the single hinge-shaped portion 36 forms the connecting portion. There may be three or more hinge-shaped portions 36.
[0034] The base 32 is made of resin or metal. For example, the base 32 may be a plate material having a hollow structure such as plastic corrugated cardboard, or may be a solid plate material having no hollow structure.
[0035] The wiring member 40 supplies power to the equipment in the seat 10 and transmits signals between the equipment in the seat 10 and equipment in the vehicle body. The wiring member 40 is a transmission member that transmits electricity or light, such as an electric wire or an optical fiber cable. The wiring member 40 includes a first wiring member 41 held by the first planar portion 33 and a second wiring member 42 held by the second planar portion 34.
[0036] The ends of the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 on the seat 10 side are provided with a seat 10-side connector or the like that is connected to equipment in the seat 10. The ends of the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 on the vehicle body side are provided with a connector or the like that is connected to equipment in the vehicle body.
[0037] The first wiring member 41 extends to pass through the base 32. The first wiring member 41 extends from outside the first planar portion 33 toward the first planar portion 33 on one side of the base 32 in the left-right direction, and extends out of the base 32 on the other side. As shown in FIG. 1 , the first connector 43, which is the seat-side connector of the first wiring member 41, is not located on the base 32. The path and fixed position of the first wiring member 41 on the first planar portion 33 are not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. An end of the first wiring member 41 may be located on the base 32.
[0038] An end of the second wiring member 42 is located on the base 32. The second wiring member 42 extends from outside the second planar portion 34 toward the second planar portion 34 on one side of the base 32 in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 1 , a second connector 44, which is a seat-side connector of the second wiring member 42, is located on the base 32. The second connector 44 may or may not be fixed to the second planar portion 34. Here, the second planar portion 34 is shorter in the left-right direction than the first planar portion 33. The left end of the second planar portion 34, opposite a branch portion 46 described below, is located closer to the branch portion 46 (to the right) than the left end of the first planar portion 33. The path and fixed position of the second wiring member 42 on the second planar portion 34 are not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. The second wiring member 42 may extend so as to pass through the base 32.
[0039] The wire harness 30 has a branch portion 46 that branches from a trunk portion 45 into a first wiring member 41 and a second wiring member 42. In the trunk portion 45, the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 are held together by an exterior member. For example, the exterior member may be a binding member such as an adhesive tape 47 or a cable tie 50, a protective tube or protector, or a sheath.
[0040] The branch portion 46 may be disposed near the base 32. For example, the distance between the base 32 and the branch portion 46 may be shorter than the length of the first wiring member 41 extending on the first planar portion 33. For example, the distance between the base 32 and the branch portion 46 may be shorter than the length of the second wiring member 42 extending on the second planar portion 34.
[0041] The first wiring member 41 is not routed on the first outer surface 33B, but is routed on the first inner surface 33A. The second wiring member 42 is not routed on the second inner surface 34A, but is routed on the second outer surface 34B. Therefore, here, one of the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 is routed on the inner surface of the base 32, and the other is routed on the outer surface of the base 32. The first wiring member 41 may be routed on the first outer surface 33B, and the second wiring member 42 may be routed on the second inner surface 34A.
[0042] Both the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 may be arranged on the outer surface of the base 32. Both the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 may be arranged on the inner surface of the base 32. The first wiring member 41 may be routed on either the first inner surface 33A or the first outer surface 33B. Furthermore, the first wiring member 41 may be routed on both the first inner surface 33A and the first outer surface 33B. The second wiring member 42 may be routed on either the second inner surface 34A or the second outer surface 34B. Furthermore, the second wiring member 42 may be routed on both the second inner surface 34A and the second outer surface 34B.
[0043] The structure for holding the base 32 and the wiring member 40 is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. Here, the wiring member 40 is held to the base 32 by a cable tie 50. The cable tie 50 has a band portion 51 and a band fixing portion 52. A pair of band insertion holes 37 is formed in the base 32 for each holding portion of one cable tie 50. The wiring member 40 is disposed between the pair of band insertion holes 37. The band fixing portion 52 fixes the band portion 51 in a state in which the band portion 51 wraps around the wiring member 40 and the portion of the base 32 between the pair of band insertion holes 37. The band fixing portion 52 may be located on the inner surface or the outer surface of the base 32.
[0044] The fixing portion 60 fixes the base 32 to the routing target component 14. The configuration of the fixing portion 60 is not particularly limited as long as it can fix the base 32 to the routing target component 14, and can be set as appropriate. The number and positions of the fixing portions 60 are not particularly limited, and can be set as appropriate. Here, the fixing portions 60 fix each of the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 to the routing target component 14. Here, a clip 61 is provided as the fixing portion 60. The clip 61 has an engaging portion 62, a pillar portion 63, and a plate portion 64. The pillar portion 63 protrudes from a main surface of the plate portion 64. The engaging portion 62 protrudes from the tip of the pillar portion 63 toward the plate portion 64. The plate portion 64 is arranged on the inner surface of the base 32, and a cable tie 50 is wrapped around the plate portion 64 and the base 32, thereby fixing the clip 61 to the base 32. By bringing the plate portion 64 into contact with the inner surface of the base 32, it becomes easier to obtain a state in which the column portion 63 protrudes in the normal direction of the inner surface of the base 32.
[0045] When the base 32 is a rigid member, the clip 61 may be molded integrally with the base 32. In this case, the plate portion 64 of the clip 61 may be omitted, and the pillar portion 63 and the locking portion 62 may be configured to protrude from the base 32.
[0046] <Effects, etc.> According to the wiring harness routing structure 20 configured as described above, by attaching the base 32 on which the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 are routed to the plate-shaped routing target member 14, the wire harness 30 can be easily routed on both sides of the plate-shaped routing target member 14. Since the base 32 includes the connecting portion 35, compared to when the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 are connected so as not to bend, the wiring harness 30 can be easily routed on both sides of the plate-shaped routing target member 14. 2 Planar part 3 4 This makes it easy to route the second wiring member 42 to the wiring board 41 .
[0047] The procedure for fixing the wire harness 30 to the routing target component 14 is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , the first planar portion 33 of the wire harness 30 may be fixed to the first surface 15 first, and then the second planar portion 34 may be fixed to the second surface 16. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , the second planar portion 34 of the wire harness 30 may be fixed to the second surface 16 first, and then the first planar portion 33 may be fixed to the first surface 15. The connecting portion 35 may be bent after one of the planar portions is fixed. The first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 may be fixed to the routing target component 14 in a state where the connecting portion 35 is bent and the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 face the routing target component 14.
[0048] Moreover, both the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 have rigidity that makes them more difficult to bend than the connecting portion 35. This makes both the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 highly rigid members, making it easy to arrange them opposite the plate-shaped routing target member 14.
[0049] The base 32 is made of a single rigid plate 132A from the first planar portion 33 to the second planar portion 34, and the connecting portion 35 is formed into a hinge-shaped portion 36 that is easier to bend than the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34. This makes it possible to prevent an increase in the number of parts of the base 32.
[0050] Furthermore, the fixing portion 60 fixes each of the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 to the routing target component 14. This allows each of the first planar portion 33 and the second planar portion 34 to be firmly fixed to the routing target component 14.
[0051] Furthermore, the first wiring member 41 extends to pass through the base 32, and an end of the second wiring member 42 is located on the base 32. This makes it easy to route the first wiring member 41, which passes through the routing target member 14, and the second wiring member 42, which is connected to equipment or the like at the position of the routing target member 14, separately to the routing target member 14.
[0052] The wire harness 30 has a branch portion 46 that branches from a trunk portion 45 into a first wiring member 41 and a second wiring member 42, and the distance between the base 32 and the branch portion 46 is shorter than the length of the first wiring member 41 extending on the first planar portion 33. This makes it easy to position the branch portion 46, where the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 are located, near the base 32.
[0053] The wiring target member 14 is a part of the frame 11 of the vehicle seat 10. This allows the wire harness 30 to be easily routed in the vehicle seat 10.
[0054] [Note] FIG. 5 is a side view showing a modified example of the wire harness 30. As shown in FIG.
[0055] In a wire harness 130 according to a modified example shown in Fig. 5, either the first planar portion 133 or the second planar portion 134 has a rigidity that makes it more difficult to bend than the connecting portion 35. This makes either the first planar portion 133 or the second planar portion 134 a highly rigid member, making it easy to arrange the first planar portion 133 or the second planar portion 134 facing the routing target component 14. When either the first planar portion 133 or the second planar portion 134 is a highly rigid member, as in the wire harness 130, it is preferable to fix the highly rigid member to the routing target component 14 first.
[0056] Here, the base 132 of the wire harness 130 includes a rigid plate 132A and a flexible sheet 132B. The rigid plate 132A is provided only on either the first planar portion 133 or the second planar portion 134. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the rigid plate 132A is provided only on the first planar portion 133. 1 The rigid plate member 132A is provided only on the second planar portion 33. 1 The flexible sheet 132B may be provided only on the first planar portion 133 and the second planar portion 134. The flexible sheet 132B is provided so as to cover the entire surface of the rigid plate 132A. The flexible sheet 132B may be provided so as to cover only a portion of the rigid plate 132A, including the edge on the connecting portion 135 side.
[0057] The first planar portion 133 includes a rigid plate 132A and a flexible sheet 132B. The rigid plate 132A and the flexible sheet 132B are fixed together. The manner of fixation is not particularly limited, and they may be attached by fusion or adhesive, or fastened with clips or the like. The second planar portion 134 does not include the rigid plate 132A but includes the flexible sheet 132B. The connecting portion 135 also does not include the rigid plate 132A but includes the flexible sheet 132B. Because the flexible sheet 132B forms the connecting portion 135, the connecting portion 135 is flexible at any position between the first planar portion 133 and the second planar portion 134.
[0058] Here, the first wiring member 41 and the second wiring member 42 are respectively held by the flexible sheet 132B. The holding structure between the flexible sheet 132B and the wiring members 41, 42 is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. For example, the flexible sheet 132B and the wiring members 41, 42 may be fused together or may be bonded with an adhesive or the like.
