[0010] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.
[0011] The movable path-controlling component for an electric wire according to the present disclosure is as follows.
[0012] (1) A movable wire path regulating component that regulates the movable paths of at least one first electric wire and at least one second electric wire that are stretched between a first component and a second component that moves relative to the first component, the movable wire path regulating component comprising: a main component that is rotatably connected to another movable wire path regulating component; and a lid component that is separate from the main component and attached to the main component, wherein the main component has an accommodating opening for the first electric wire and a first electric wire accommodating space that accommodates the at least one first electric wire in a penetrating state at the back side of the accommodating opening, the lid component has a lid main component that closes the accommodating opening, and an additional enclosing component that forms a second electric wire accommodating space that accommodates the at least one second electric wire in a penetrating state, the second electric wire accommodating space is partitioned from the first electric wire accommodating space by the lid main component, and the additional enclosing component has an electric wire accommodating slit that extends from an opening edge on one side of the second electric wire accommodating space to an opening edge on the other side.
[0013] According to the present disclosure, even when a second electric wire is added, the path of the first electric wire based on the basic design is restricted within the first electric wire accommodating space. Therefore, the addition of the second electric wire is unlikely to affect the movement of the first electric wire. Furthermore, the path of the second electric wire is restricted within a second electric wire accommodating space that is separated from the first electric wire accommodating space. The path of the first electric wire is restricted within the first electric wire accommodating space, and separately, the path of the second electric wire is restricted within the second electric wire accommodating space. Therefore, changes in the path length due to changes in the paths of the first electric wire and the second electric wire are reduced. This reduces variations in the load acting on the first electric wire and the second electric wire when the paths of the first electric wire and the second electric wire change.
[0014] Also, the second electric wire can be easily accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space via the electric wire accommodating slit.
[0015] (2) In the movable wire path control component of (1), the body component and the cover component may be formed of a fiber-reinforced resin. In this case, the body component and the cover component made of a fiber-reinforced resin can ensure the strength of the movable wire path control component.
[0016] (3) In the movable path control component for an electric wire according to (1) or (2), the electric wire accommodating slit may include a curved portion that bends between an opening edge on one side and an opening edge on the other side of the second electric wire accommodating space. In this case, since the electric wire accommodating slit includes the bent portion, the second electric wire accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space is less likely to slip out through the electric wire accommodating slit.
[0017] (4) In the movable path-controlling component for an electric wire according to (3), the bent portion may be bent to form a curved line. The curved edges on both sides of the electric wire accommodating slit are unlikely to be pressed strongly against the second electric wire.
[0018] (5) In the movable path control component for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (4), the outer width of the electric wire accommodating slit may be equal to or greater than the diameter of the second electric wire, thereby making it easier to insert the second electric wire into the electric wire accommodating slit.
[0019] (6) Any one of (1) to (5) movable path control components for electric wires, wherein the overall width of the electric wire accommodating slit is diameter This makes it easier to insert the second electric wire into the electric wire accommodating slit.
[0020] (7) In the movable path control component for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (5), the minimum width of the electric wire accommodating slit may be smaller than the diameter of the second electric wire, thereby making it difficult for the second electric wire to slip out through the electric wire accommodating slit.
[0021] (8) In the movable path control component for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (7), the electric wire accommodating slit may be formed in the widthwise center of the cover component. In this case, even if the left and right sides of the plurality of cover components are different, the second electric wire can be accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space through the electric wire accommodating slit at the widthwise center position of the plurality of cover components.
[0022] (9) In the movable wire path control component of any one of (1) to (8), the main body component may have locking portions located on both sides of the accommodation opening, the lid main body component may have locked portions to which the locking portions are engaged, and the additional surrounding portion may be located inside the locked portions. This allows the locked portions to be easily molded.
[0023] (10) In the movable path control component for an electric wire according to any one of (1) to (9), the number of the at least one second electric wire accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space may be smaller than the number of the at least one first electric wire accommodated in the first electric wire accommodating space, making it easy to add a small number of second electric wires.
[0024] (11) In the movable electric wire path regulation component according to any one of (1) to (10), the length of the additional enclosing part in the penetration direction of the second electric wire accommodating space may be gradually reduced as it becomes farther from the main part. In this case, when the movable electric wire path regulation component rotates relative to the other electric wire path regulation component, the additional enclosing part is less likely to interfere with the other electric wire path regulation component.
[0025] (12) In the movable wire path control component according to any one of (1) to (11), the portion of the additional enclosing part opposite to the main body part may be formed in an arc shape when viewed along the penetration direction of the second wire accommodating space. In this case, it is easy to cover the movable wire path control component with an exterior part such as a rubber boot.
[0026] The path-regulating wire harness according to the present disclosure is as follows.
[0027] (13) A path-regulated wire harness comprising any one of the movable path-regulating components for electric wires (1) to (12), the at least one first electric wire, and the at least one second electric wire, wherein the plurality of movable path-regulating components for electric wires are rotatably connected to each other in a row, the at least one first electric wire is accommodated in the plurality of movable path-regulating components for electric wires through the first electric wire accommodating space, and the at least one second electric wire is accommodated in the plurality of movable path-regulating components for electric wires through the second electric wire accommodating space.
[0028] This path-regulated wire harness can easily accommodate the addition of electric wires, and reduces variations in the load acting on the first electric wire and the second electric wire when the paths of the first electric wire and the second electric wire are changed in the path-regulated wire harness.
[0029] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the movable wire path-regulating component and the path-regulating 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 of the claims.
[0030] [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a movable path-regulating component for an electric wire and a path-regulating wire harness according to an embodiment will be described.
[0031] <Examples of application of routing-regulated wire harnesses> Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view showing a state in which a path-regulating wire harness 20 is arranged between a vehicle body 10 and a sliding door 14. In Fig. 1, the movement path of the sliding door 14 when the sliding door 14 is opened or closed is indicated by an arrow A. Also, the state change of the path-regulating wire harness 20 accompanying the opening and closing of the sliding door 14 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.
[0032] The relationship between the vehicle body 10 and the sliding door 14 will now be described. The automobile includes the vehicle body 10 and a sliding door 14 provided on one side of the vehicle body 10. A passenger entrance 11 through which passengers can get in and out is provided on one side of the vehicle body 10. The sliding door 14 is supported by a slide support mechanism including a guide rail 12 and a movable support part that supports the sliding door 14 in a state where it can move along the guide rail 12, so as to be movable between a position where the passenger entrance 11 is closed (closed position P1) and a position where the passenger entrance 11 is opened (open position P2). In this embodiment, the closed position P1 is located rearward of the open position P2.
[0033] The sliding door 14 slides on the side of the vehicle body 10 to open and close the entrance 11. Here, the sliding door 14 slides from a closed position P1 to an open position P2 while displacing outward in the vehicle width direction (see arrow A). The vehicle body 10 is an example of a first part, and the sliding door 14 is an example of a second part that moves relative to the vehicle body 10.
[0034] The path-regulating wire harness 20 is laid between the vehicle body 10 and the sliding door 14 as described above. When the sliding door 14 moves relative to the vehicle body 10, the path-regulating wire harness 20 moves in conjunction with the movement of the sliding door 14. The range of path movement at this time is regulated by the movable path-regulating component for electric wires 30. This prevents the path-regulating wire harness 20 from interfering with the peripheral edge of the boarding entrance 11 of the vehicle body 10 and the sliding door 14.
[0035] The first and second parts around which the path-regulating wire harness 20 is passed are not limited to the above example. The path-regulating wire harness 20 is passed between the first part and a second part that moves relative to the first part. For example, the first part may be the vehicle body (e.g., a floor), and the second part may be a sliding seat.
[0036] <About routing regulation wire harnesses> Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a part of the path-regulating wire harness 20, and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 2. In Fig. 3, the state in which the connected movable path-regulating component for electric wires 30 has rotated is shown by a two-dot chain line.
[0037] 1 to 3, the path-regulating wire harness 20 includes a plurality of movable path-regulating components 30 for electric wires, at least one first electric wire 22, and at least one second electric wire 24. In FIG. 2, the plurality of first electric wires 22 are shown as a bundle.
[0038] A plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 are connected in a row so as to be rotatable with respect to each other. In this embodiment, adjacent movable electric wire path regulating components 30 are connected so as to be rotatable about one axis. Therefore, adjacent movable electric wire path regulating components 30 are restricted from rotating about an axis different from the one axis. By connecting a plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 so as to be rotatable about an axis parallel to the one axis, the plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 are connected so as to be able to bend on one plane, and bending in a direction hanging down from the one plane is suppressed.
[0039] Furthermore, the rotation range around one axis is restricted between adjacent movable wire path control components 30. This restricts the direction and range in which the plurality of movable wire path control components 30 can bend on the same plane. The configuration for restricting this rotation range will be described later.
[0040] The movable path control component for an electric wire 30 has a first electric wire accommodating space 36 and a second electric wire accommodating space 64. The first electric wire accommodating space 36 and the second electric wire accommodating space 64 are adjacent to each other and separated from each other.
[0041] The first electric wire 22 is a wiring member that electrically connects electrical components on the vehicle body 10 side with electrical components on the sliding door 14 side. There may be one or more first electric wires 22. The second electric wire 24 is a wiring member that electrically connects electrical components on the vehicle body 10 side with electrical components on the sliding door 14 side. There may be one or more second electric wires 24. The first electric wire 22 has, for example, a core wire 22a and an insulating coating 22b that covers the core wire 22a. The second electric wire 24 has, for example, a core wire 24a and an insulating coating 24b that covers the core wire 24a.
[0042] The first electric wires 22 are assumed to be wiring materials that connect electrical components that were installed in the basic design stage of the automobile, for example. The second electric wires 24 are assumed to be wiring materials that are connected to electrical components that were added after the basic design stage of the automobile due to additional equipment, etc. For this reason, the number of second electric wires 24 is assumed to be smaller than the number of first electric wires 22.
[0043] The first electric wire 22 is accommodated in the plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 arranged in a row, passing through each of the first electric wire accommodating spaces 36. The second electric wire 24 is accommodated in the plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 arranged in a row, passing through each of the second electric wire accommodating spaces 64. Therefore, the paths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 are regulated in the separate spaces 36, 64 of the plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 while maintaining a parallel state.
[0044] The first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 may be signal electric wires or power electric wires. The multiple first electric wires 22 may be bundled together in the form of a twisted electric wire or may be bundled together in a state covered in a sheath. Similarly, the multiple second electric wires 24 may be bundled together by twisting them together or by being covered in a sheath. Furthermore, the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 may include a coaxial cable.
[0045] <About the wire routing control device> The movable wire path regulating component 30 will now be described. Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the movable wire path regulating component 30. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the movable wire path regulating component 30. Figure 2 Cross-sectional view along line VV.
[0046] The movable wire path regulating component 30 includes a main body component 32 and a cover component 50. The main body component 32 and the cover component 50 are components that are molded separately from resin, for example.
[0047] The main body component 32 is rotatably connected to the main body component 32 of another movable electric wire path control component 30. The main body component 32 has a storage opening 38 and a first electric wire storage space 36. The storage opening 38 is an opening for storing the first electric wire 22 in the main body component 32. The first electric wire storage space 36 is a space on the far side of the storage opening 38 that stores the first electric wire 22 in a passing state.
[0048] More specifically, the main body part 32 is a part that is integrally molded from resin using a mold, and includes a bottom piece 34 and a pair of side pieces 40 .
[0049] The side piece 40 is formed in the shape of a long, narrow plate. A connecting recess 41 is formed at one longitudinal end of the side piece 40. In this embodiment, the connecting recess 41 is a round through-hole. The outer peripheral edge of the one longitudinal end of the side piece 40 is formed into an outwardly convex arc-shaped edge 42.
[0050] A connecting protrusion 44 is formed on the outward surface of the other longitudinal end of each side piece 40. In this embodiment, the connecting protrusion 44 is a short cylindrical protrusion. The connecting protrusion 44 at the other longitudinal end of one pair of side pieces 40 is fitted into the connecting recess 41 at one longitudinal end of another pair of side pieces 40. This connects adjacent main body components 32 rotatably around the central axis of the pair of connecting protrusions 44.
[0051] The portion of the tip surface of the connecting protrusion 44 near the other longitudinal end of the side piece 40 is formed as a guide surface 44g that reduces the protruding length toward the other longitudinal end of the side piece 40. Therefore, one end of the side piece 40 can easily ride up onto the connecting protrusion 44 of the other side piece 40 by utilizing the guide surface 44g of the connecting protrusion 44. This allows the connecting protrusion 44 to be easily fitted into the connecting recess 41.
[0052] The outward surface of the other longitudinal end of the side piece 40 is recessed more than the outward surface of one longitudinal end of the side piece 40. This allows the other end of the side piece 40 to be placed on the outer surface of one end of the other side piece 40. other end and the outer surface of the other side piece 40 One end This reduces the difference in level between the outer surface and the
[0053] The outer peripheral edge of the other longitudinal end of the side piece 40 is formed in a shape that restricts the range of rotation relative to the other side piece 40. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral edge of the other longitudinal end of the side piece 40 has a first restricting edge 46a that runs along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 and a second restricting edge 46b that is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The first restricting edge 46a and the second restricting edge 46b face in opposite directions.
[0054] The two side pieces 40 are connected by fitting the connecting protrusion 44 into the connecting recess 41. When the two side pieces 40 extend linearly, the first restricting edge 46a of one side piece 40 contacts the inward protrusion 45 of the other side piece 40 (as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3). When the two side pieces 40 are rotated relative to each other, the second restricting edge 46b of one side piece 40 contacts the bottom piece 34 of the other side piece 40 (as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). Therefore, the rotation range of the two side pieces 40 is restricted to the range in which the two restricting edges 46a, 46b of one side piece 40 contact the inward protrusion 45 or the bottom piece 34 of the other side piece 40.
[0055] The shapes of the first and second restricting edges 46a, 46b are set appropriately depending on the range of rotation required between adjacent side pieces 40.
[0056] The bottom piece 34 connects one side edges of the pair of side pieces 40 to each other. The first wire accommodating space 36 is a space surrounded by the bottom piece 34 and the pair of side pieces 40. The first wire accommodating space 36 is open on both longitudinal sides of the side piece 40. The direction penetrating both openings of the first wire accommodating space 36 is the penetration direction of the first wire accommodating space 36. This penetration direction is along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The first wire 22 can be accommodated in the first wire accommodating space 36 in a penetrated state extending to both longitudinal sides of the side piece 40. The first wire accommodating space 36 also has an opening on the side opposite the bottom piece 34. This opening is an accommodation opening 38 for accommodating the first wire 22. The first wire accommodating space 36 is located on the bottom piece 34 side, i.e., on the back side, of the accommodation opening 38. The first electric wire 22 passes through the receiving opening 38 and is received in the first electric wire receiving space 36 in a penetrating state.
[0057] An inward protrusion 45 that protrudes toward the center in the width direction of the pair of side pieces 40 is formed on the other side edge of the pair of side pieces 40. The inward protrusion 45 is formed in the longitudinal middle part of the other side edge of the pair of side pieces 40. A gap exists between the tip ends of the pair of inward protrusions 45. The gap is set to a size that allows the first electric wire 22 to pass through.
[0058] The first restricting edge 46a can come into contact with the inward protrusion 45. The surface of the inward protrusion 45 opposite the bottom piece 34 is formed as a support surface 45f that extends along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40 and a direction perpendicular to the side piece 40. The lid component 50 is stably supported on the support surface 45f.
[0059] The main body component 32 has locking protrusions 48 located on both sides of the storage opening 38. Here, a long hole 45g is formed in the longitudinal middle of the inward protrusion 45, extending along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The locking protrusion 48 protrudes from the other side edge of the side piece 40 through the hole 45g. The locking protrusion 48 includes a plate portion 48a that protrudes outward in the width direction of the side piece 40 and a protrusion 48b that protrudes from the tip of the plate portion 48a in the thickness direction of the plate portion 48a. The plate portion 48a is spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the hole 45g and can elastically deform within the hole 45g. The protrusion 48b protrudes outward from the pair of side pieces 40. The tip of the protrusion 48b is formed on a guide surface 48g that gradually decreases in height toward the tip of the plate portion 48a.
[0060] 6 is a plan view showing the lid part 50. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the lid part 50 is a part that is integrally formed from resin by a mold, separately from the main body part 32. The lid part 50 has a lid main body part 52 and an additional surrounding part 60.
[0061] The lid main body 52 includes a plate-like portion that closes the storage opening 38. The lid main body 52 does not need to close the entire storage opening 38, but only needs to close the storage opening 38 to the extent that it prevents the first electric wire 22 from coming off the storage opening 38. In this embodiment, the lid main body 52 closes the storage opening 38 at the portion where the inward protrusion 45 is present.
[0062] More specifically, the lid main body 52 includes a rectangular plate-shaped portion. The width of the lid main body 52 is set to be larger than the distance between the pair of side pieces 40. The length of the lid main body 52 is set to be long enough to cover the inward protrusions 45. When the lid main body 52 is placed on the support surfaces 45f of the pair of inward protrusions 45, it can cover the storage opening 38.
[0063] The lid main body 52 has positioning assisting protrusions 53 extending from the outward surfaces of the other side edges of the pair of side pieces 40. When the lid main body 52 closes the storage opening 38, the pair of positioning assisting protrusions 53 come into contact with the outward surfaces of the pair of side pieces 40, thereby positioning the lid main body 52 in the width direction.
[0064] The lid main body 52 has a locking protrusion 48. Locking In this embodiment, the locking hole 54 is formed in a corner portion from the portion of the lid main body 52 that is placed on the support surface 45f to the positioning auxiliary protrusion 53. An edge 53a of the locking hole 54 formed on the positioning auxiliary protrusion 53 faces the protruding direction of the locking protrusion 48. Therefore, the protrusion 48b of the locking protrusion 48 engages with the edge 53a, thereby locking the lid main body 52 so that it does not come off the other side edge of the side piece 40.
[0065] The locking hole 54 also extends to the portion of the lid main body 52 that is placed on the support surface 45f. The locking protrusion 48 can elastically deform in the thickness direction of the plate portion 48a by utilizing the portion of the locking hole 54 that extends onto the support surface 45f.
[0066] The pair of locking protrusions 48 are then locked into the pair of locking holes 54 to prevent removal, thereby attaching the cover component 50 to the main body component 32. Note that the locking holes may be formed in the main body component, and the locking protrusions may be formed in the cover component.
[0067] The lid main body 52 has a pair of auxiliary pieces 55 that extend toward the bottom piece 34 inside the tip of the inward protrusion 45. When the lid part 50 is attached to the main body part 32, the pair of auxiliary pieces 55 come into contact with the tip of the inward protrusion 45, thereby suppressing rattling of the lid main body 52 relative to the main body part 32.
[0068] The additional enclosure 60 is a portion that forms a second wire accommodating space 64 that accommodates the second wire 24 in a passing state. The second wire accommodating space 64 is a space that is separated from the first wire accommodating space 36 by the lid main body 52.
[0069] In this embodiment, the additional surrounding portion 60 has a pair of base ends 61 and a surrounding main body portion 62 .
[0070] The pair of base end portions 61 are located inside the pair of locking hole portions 54. The pair of base end portions 61 are plate-shaped and long along the longitudinal direction of the side pieces 40, and protrude from the lid main body portion 52 on the side opposite to the main body part 32.
[0071] The enclosure main body 62 connects the tip ends of the pair of base ends 61 at a position away from the lid main body 52. In this embodiment, the enclosure main body 62 is formed in the shape of a plate that describes an arc that is convex on the side opposite the bottom piece 34 when viewed along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. Therefore, in this embodiment, the additional enclosure 60 has a U-shape when viewed along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40, with the pair of base ends 61 connected to both ends of the enclosure main body 62.
[0072] Since the pair of base ends 61 are located inside the pair of locking hole portions 54 and the enclosure main body portion 62 connects the pair of base ends 61, the additional enclosure portion 60 as a whole is located inside the pair of locking hole portions 54.
[0073] It is not essential that the enclosure main body 62 be U-shaped when viewed along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The enclosure main body 62 may be connected to the pair of base ends 61 at an angle such as a right angle. The enclosure main body 62 may be in the shape of a flat plate or a V-shaped plate.
[0074] The space surrounded by the lid main body 52, the pair of base ends 61, and the lid main body 52 is a second wire accommodating space 64 that accommodates the second wire 24. The second wire accommodating space 64 is open on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The penetration direction of the second wire accommodating space 64 is along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The second wire 24 is accommodated in the second wire accommodating space 64 in a penetrated state along the longitudinal direction of the side piece 40. The second wire accommodating space 64 is separated from the first wire accommodating space 36 by the lid main body 52.
[0075] Therefore, the first electric wire 22 is accommodated in the first electric wire accommodating space 36, and separately, the second electric wire 24 is accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space 64. The first electric wire 22 is prevented from entering the second electric wire accommodating space 64, and the second electric wire 24 is prevented from entering the first electric wire accommodating space 36.
[0076] As described above, it is assumed that the number of second electric wires 24 is smaller than the number of first electric wires 22. Therefore, when viewed along the longitudinal direction of the first electric wires 22 and the second electric wires 24, the second electric wire accommodating space 64 may be smaller than the first electric wire accommodating space 36. This allows a smaller number of second electric wires 24 to be accommodated in a narrower space, and a larger number of first electric wires 24 to be accommodated in a narrower space. 22 can be accommodated in a larger storage space.
[0077] An electric wire accommodating slit 66 is formed in the additional enclosing part 60. The electric wire accommodating slit 66 is a slit that extends from one opening edge 64a of the second electric wire accommodating space 64 to the other opening edge 64b in the penetration direction of the second electric wire accommodating space 64. The inner side of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 opens toward the second electric wire accommodating space 64, and the outer side of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 opens to the outside of the additional enclosing part 60. Therefore, the second electric wire 24 is accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space 64 by arranging the second electric wire 24 along the electric wire accommodating slit 66 from the outside of the additional enclosing part 60 and pushing the second electric wire 24 into the electric wire accommodating slit 66.
[0078] In this embodiment, the wire accommodating slit 66 includes a bent portion 66v that bends between the opening edge 64a on one side and the opening edge 64b on the other side. Here, the bent portion 66v is bent to draw a curve. More specifically, the wire accommodating slit 66 extends to bend to draw a sine curve. In this embodiment, the wire accommodating slit 66 extends to draw a sine curve with one cycle of repeated concave and convex portions, and includes two bent portions 66v. The number of repeated concave and convex portions in the wire accommodating slit 66 is arbitrary, and the number of bent portions 66v is arbitrary. It is preferable that the wire accommodating slit 66 has at least one bent portion 66v. It is preferable that the bent portion 66v is a portion bent to draw a curve, but this is not essential. The bent portion may be a portion bent at an angle.
[0079] When the electric wire accommodating slit 66 includes the bent portion 66v, the second electric wire 24 is less likely to pass through the electric wire accommodating slit 66 and slip out of the second electric wire accommodating space 64 to the outside.
[0080] The width of the wire accommodating slit 66 is Second Wire 24 If it is expected that the width of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 will expand due to deformation of the additional surrounding portion 60, the width of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 should be Second Wire 24 If the width of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 is not expected to be expanded significantly due to the deformation of the additional surrounding portion 60, the width of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 is Second Wire 24 It is preferable that the diameter of the hole is equal to or larger than the diameter of the hole.
[0081] In this embodiment, the outer width W1 of the wire accommodating slit 66 is equal to or greater than the diameter φ of the second wire 24. For example, the outer width W1 of the wire accommodating slit 66 is equal to or greater than the diameter φ of the second wire 24. 24 When second electric wires 24 with different diameters are accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space 64, the diameter φ of the second electric wire 24 may be the largest diameter.
[0082] The outer width W1 of the wire accommodating slit 66 is 24If the diameter φ is equal to or larger than the diameter φ of the additional enclosing portion 60, the second electric wire 24 can be easily pushed into the outer portion of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 from the outside of the additional enclosing portion 60.
[0083] In this embodiment, the overall width of the wire accommodating slit 66 is equal to or greater than the diameter φ of the second wire 24. The overall width of the wire accommodating slit 66 refers to the width at all positions along the extension direction of the wire accommodating slit 66, the width at the outer and inner sides of the wire accommodating slit 66, and the width at all positions in the intermediate portions thereof. For example, the overall width of the wire accommodating slit 66 is the same as the diameter φ of the second wire 24. When second wires 24 of different diameters are accommodated in the second wire accommodating space 64, the diameter φ of the second wire 24 may be the largest diameter, as described above.
[0084] If the overall width of the wire accommodating slit 66 is equal to or greater than the diameter φ of the second wire 24, the second wire 24 can easily pass through the wire accommodating slit 66 even when deformation of the additional enclosing portion 60 is unlikely to occur.
[0085] 7, the minimum width W2 of the electric wire accommodating slit 166 corresponding to the electric wire accommodating slit 66 may be smaller than the diameter φ of the second electric wire 24. Here, the outer width W1 of the electric wire accommodating slit 166 is equal to or larger than the diameter φ. The electric wire accommodating slit 166 gradually narrows toward the second electric wire accommodating space 64, and the inner width W2 on the second electric wire accommodating space 64 side is smaller than the diameter φ.
[0086] In this case, it is conceivable that when the second electric wire 24 is pushed into the electric wire accommodating slit 166, the additional enclosing portion 60 is elastically deformed, pushing open the electric wire accommodating slit 166 and entering into the second electric wire accommodating space 64. After the second electric wire 24 passes through the electric wire accommodating slit 166, it is conceivable that the additional enclosing portion 60 returns to its original shape, and the inner width W2, which is the minimum width of the electric wire accommodating slit 166, becomes smaller than the second electric wire 24. For this reason, it is difficult for the second electric wire 24 to pass through the electric wire accommodating slit 166 and be extracted.
[0087] The wire accommodating slit 66 is formed in the widthwise center of the cover part 50. In this embodiment, the amplitude center of the sine curve drawn by the wire accommodating slit 66 is located in the widthwise center of the cover part 50. Therefore, when multiple movable wire path regulating components 30 are connected side by side, even if the left and right cover parts 50 are swapped, the wire accommodating slit 66 itself is located in the widthwise center of the movable wire path regulating components 30. Therefore, the second wire 24 can be continuously inserted into the wire accommodating slits 66 one after another in the widthwise center of the movable wire path regulating components 30.
[0088] However, the position of the wire accommodating slit 66 in the additional surrounding portion 60 is arbitrary. For example, the wire accommodating slit 66 may be formed closer to either of the base end portions 61.
[0089] As described above, the enclosure main body portion 62, which is the portion of the additional enclosure 60 opposite the main body component 32, is formed in an arc shape that convex outward when viewed along the penetration direction of the second electric wire accommodating space 64. For this reason, the height of the widthwise center portion of the second electric wire accommodating space 64 is greater than that of both sides thereof.
[0090] The length of the additional enclosing portion 60 in the penetration direction of the second wire accommodating space 64 is formed to gradually decrease as it moves away from the main body component 32. In this embodiment, the pair of base ends 61 are formed to gradually narrow as it moves away from the lid main body portion 52. The enclosing main body portion 62 is also formed to gradually shorten in length as it moves away from the lid main body portion 52. Therefore, when the additional enclosing portion 60 is viewed along the width direction of the lid main body portion 52, the additional enclosing portion 60 has a trapezoidal shape that gradually narrows as it moves away from the lid main body portion 52.
[0091] Therefore, when adjacent movable wire path regulating components 30 are rotated in a direction that brings the enclosure main body parts 62 closer to each other, the adjacent enclosure main body parts 62 are less likely to interfere with each other. This makes it possible to set a large rotation range for the adjacent movable wire path regulating components 30.
[0092] The body component 32 and the cover component 50 may be made of any material. For example, the body component 32 and the cover component 50 may be made of fiber-reinforced resin. Fiber-reinforced resin is resin reinforced with fibers such as glass fiber or carbon fiber. The resin composited with the fibers is, for example, polyamide 66 (PA66). In this case, the entire movable wire path-control component 30 can be made high in strength.
[0093] The body part 32 may be harder than the lid part 50. Whether one of the two parts is harder (or softer) may be determined, for example, by a value determined by a hardness test according to ISO / TS 19278:2019. For example, the body part 32 may be made of polyamide 66 (PA66), and the lid part 50 may be made of polypropylene (PP). The body part 32 may contain glass fiber.
[0094] If the main body component 32 is hard, the connection between the movable electric wire path regulating components 30 is difficult to come loose, and the rotation range between the movable electric wire path regulating components 30 is firmly regulated. This firmly regulates the path of the path-regulated wire harness 20. Furthermore, by utilizing the fact that the cover component 50 is soft, the electric wire accommodating slit 66 can be opened to easily accommodate the second electric wire 24.
[0095] The lid part 50 has a restrictive shape plane symmetry with respect to a plane perpendicular to its width direction. That is, the pair of positioning auxiliary protrusions 53 and the pair of locking holes 54 in the lid main body 52 are formed symmetrically in the left-right direction along the width direction. The additional enclosing part 60 is also formed symmetrically in the left-right direction. The lid part 50 also has a restrictive shape plane symmetry with respect to a plane perpendicular to the penetration direction of the second electric wire accommodating space 64. That is, the pair of positioning auxiliary protrusions 53 and the pair of locking holes 54 in the lid main body 52 are formed symmetrically in the front-rear direction, which is the penetration direction of the second electric wire accommodating space 64. The additional enclosing part 60 is also formed symmetrically in the front-rear direction.
[0096] Therefore, even if the mounting orientation of the lid component 50 relative to the body component 32 is reversed, the combined shape of the body component 32 and the lid component 50 remains the same. In other words, based on the combination of the pair of locking protrusions 48 and the pair of locking holes 54, there are two possible mounting orientations for the lid component 50 relative to the body component 32. In either orientation, the combined shape of the body component 32 and the lid component 50 remains the same.
[0097] Here, the term "planar symmetry of the restricting shape" means that the cover part 50 has planar symmetry with respect to the shape for restricting the paths of the electric wires 22 and 24, that is, planar symmetry with respect to the functional parts related to restricting the paths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 and restricting the range of rotation of the movable electric wire path-regulating part 30. For this reason, for example, a shape part such as the wire accommodating slit 66, which is a configuration for accommodating the second electric wire 24 and does not affect the restriction of the path-regulating range and the rotation range, does not need to have the planar symmetry. Furthermore, a shape part of the design of the cover part 50 that does not affect the above functions does not need to have the planar symmetry.
[0098] If the lid part 50 has symmetry of the restricted shape with respect to a plane perpendicular to its width direction, the lid part 50 can be attached to the body part 32 without regard to the orientation.
[0099] The path-regulating wire harness 20 is manufactured, for example, as follows.
[0100] First, a plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 are prepared, connected in a row. In this state, the first electric wire accommodating spaces 36 of the movable electric wire path regulating components 30 are arranged in a row. The first electric wire accommodating spaces 36 are open through the accommodating openings 38. The accommodating openings 38 are also arranged in a row.
[0101] The first electric wires 22 are placed between the pair of side pieces 40 through the accommodation opening 38. Next, the pair of locking protrusions 48 are inserted into the pair of locking hole portions 54, and the protrusions 48b are engaged with the locking hole portions 54. As a result, the lid part 50 is attached to the main body part 32 with the lid main body portion 52 closing the accommodation opening 38. In this state, the first electric wires 22 are maintained in a state of being accommodated in the first electric wire accommodation spaces 36 that are aligned in a row.
[0102] After the lid part 50 is attached, the second electric wire accommodating spaces 64 are also arranged in a row on the outside of the lid main body 52. The second electric wires 24 are sequentially pushed into the row of electric wire accommodating slits 66. At this time, the second electric wires 24 are bent into a shape corresponding to the bending portions 66v of the electric wire accommodating slits 66 (see the two-dot chain line Lv in FIG. 6 ) and are arranged in the outer openings of the electric wire accommodating slits 66. As the second electric wires 24 are further pushed in, the second electric wires 24 pass over the electric wire accommodating slits 66 and enter the second electric wire accommodating spaces 64. As a result, the second electric wires 24 are accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating spaces 64.
[0103] When the second electric wire 24 is accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space 64, the second electric wire 24 extends in a more linear shape than the bent shape when passing through the electric wire accommodating slit 66. This prevents the second electric wire 24 from passing through the electric wire accommodating slit 66 having the bent portion 66v and coming out.
[0104] As described above, the second electric wire 24 is accommodated in the second electric wire accommodating space 64 through the electric wire accommodating slit 66. 64 This makes it possible to easily hold the second electric wire 24.
[0105] The plurality of movable wire path control components 30 connected in a row may be covered with an exterior member 70 made of rubber or the like and formed into a cylindrical shape (see FIGS. 1 and 5). The exterior member may be, for example, a member also called a rubber boot.
[0106] <Operation of the routing regulation wire harness> An example of the operation of the path-regulating wire harness 20 will be described.
[0107] The path-regulating wire harness 20 is disposed so as to span between the vehicle body 10 and the sliding door 14. In this state, one end of the plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 connected in a row is connected to the vehicle body 10. The other end of the plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 is connected to the sliding door 14. As a result, the plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 move to bend in accordance with the opening and closing of the sliding door 14. Adjacent movable electric wire path regulating components 30 are restricted to rotate about the axes of the pair of connecting protrusions 44. Furthermore, the shape of the first restricting edge 46a and the second restricting edge 46b restricts the range of rotation between adjacent movable electric wire path regulating components 30. Therefore, the paths of the plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 are restricted so as to bend in a predetermined bending pattern.
[0108] The first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 can bend while their paths are restricted by the plurality of movable electric wire path-controlling components 30 as the sliding door 14 opens and closes. At this time, the path of the first electric wire 22 is restricted by the plurality of first electric wire accommodating spaces 36 arranged in a row. The path of the second electric wire 24 is restricted by the plurality of second electric wire accommodating spaces 64 arranged in a row next to the first electric wire 22.
[0109] If the first electric wire accommodating space 36 and the second electric wire accommodating space 64 were spaces that were continuous with each other, the first electric wire 22 would move toward the second electric wire accommodating space 64, and the second electric wire 24 would First electric wire receiving space 36 side In this case, the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 may move to the inner circumferential side. In this case, the degree of freedom of the position of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 within the movable path-regulating component 30 for electric wires increases. Therefore, when the path-regulated wire harness 20 is bent, an unstable state occurs in which the first electric wire 22 is positioned on the inner circumferential side or the second electric wire 24 is positioned on the inner circumferential side. In this case, there is a possibility that the change in the path length of each of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 in response to the change in the path of the path-regulating wire harness 20 will become large.
[0110] In the present embodiment, the path of the first electric wire 22 is restricted by the first electric wire accommodating space 36, and the path of the second electric wire 24 is restricted by the second electric wire accommodating space 64 adjacent to the first electric wire 22. Therefore, the paths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 are restricted in a limited range compared to when the first electric wire accommodating space 36 and the second electric wire accommodating space 64 are continuous with each other. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a change in the path lengths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 due to a change in the path of the path-restricted wire harness 20.
[0111] This makes it easy to predict the necessary lengths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24. It also makes it easy to predict how the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 will bend in the path-regulated wire harness 20. This makes it easy to predict the bending performance of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24. Note that the bending performance can be evaluated, for example, by the number of times the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 are bent until they break when the wire is repeatedly bent under path-regulated conditions by the movable electric wire path-regulating component 30.
[0112] <Usage example> The above-described path-regulating wire harness 20 can be used, for example, in the following situations.
[0113] For example, suppose that a basic design involves designing a route-regulated wire harness that includes at least one first electric wire 22 but does not include a second electric wire 24. The basic design is, for example, a design related to an initial model of an automobile. In the basic design, electrical components to be incorporated into the sliding door 14 are set. As the route-regulated wire harness according to the basic design, a route design is made to regulate the route of the bend of the first electric wire 22 connected to the electrical component to be incorporated into the sliding door 14. As this route-regulated wire harness, a movable route-regulating component for electric wires is adopted, which is the route-regulated wire harness 20 described above without the additional enclosing portion 60.
[0114] Suppose that additional design is subsequently performed to add an electrical component to the sliding door 14. In this case, the route of the second electric wire 24 connected to the additional electrical component will need to be additionally regulated. The first electric wire accommodating space 36 is designed to regulate the route of the first electric wire 22 in the basic design. For this reason, there is a possibility that there will be no space remaining in the first electric wire accommodating space 36 to accommodate the second electric wire 24. Furthermore, adding the second electric wire 24 to the first electric wire accommodating space 36 may change the behavior of the first electric wire 22 within the first electric wire accommodating space 36, which may result in a change in the bending performance of the first electric wire 22.
[0115] Therefore, as described above, the lid component 50 is set to have the additional surrounding portion 60 added. In place of the lid component used in the basic design, the lid component 50 having the additional surrounding portion 60 is attached to the main body component 32. The main body component 32 is the same as the main body component 32 in the basic design.
[0116] In this case, the path of the first electric wire 22 is restricted in the same way as in the basic design. Therefore, it is only necessary to predict the bending performance of the second electric wire 24. Because the path of the second electric wire 24 is restricted within the second electric wire accommodating space 64, which is separated from the first electric wire accommodating space 36, the bending behavior of the second electric wire 24 is stable and there is little change in the path length due to bending. Therefore, it is easy to predict the bending performance when the second electric wire 24 is added.
[0117] <Effects, etc.> According to the movable path-regulating component 30 for an electric wire and the path-regulated wire harness 20 configured as described above, even if the second electric wire 24 is added to the path-regulated wire harness based on the basic design, the path of the first electric wire 22 is regulated within the first electric wire accommodating space 36 based on the basic design. Therefore, the addition of the second electric wire 24 is unlikely to affect the movement of the first electric wire 22. Furthermore, the path of the second electric wire 24 is regulated within the second electric wire accommodating space 64 that is separated from the first electric wire accommodating space 36. Since the path of the first electric wire 22 is regulated within the first electric wire accommodating space 36 and the path of the second electric wire 24 is regulated within the second electric wire accommodating space 64, the ranges of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 when the path changes are limited. Therefore, a change in the path length corresponding to a change in the path of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 is reduced. This reduces variations in the load acting on the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 when the paths of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24 are changed. As a result, it becomes easier to predict the bending performance of the first electric wire 22 and the second electric wire 24.
[0118] Furthermore, since the main body component 32 can be reused from the basic design, there is no need to create a new mold. The lid main body 52 can also be designed easily by simply adding the enclosure 60 to the shape of the basic design.
[0119] In addition, since the additional enclosure 60 is formed with a slit 66 for accommodating electric wires, Second Wire 24 The second wire accommodation space 64 This eliminates the need for work such as pre-passing the second electric wire 24 inside the movable electric wire path-controlling component 30. This facilitates the work of holding the second electric wire 24. Furthermore, work such as attaching a connector to the second electric wire 24 in advance or bundling a plurality of second electric wires can be performed in advance. Before the second electric wire 24 is held by the movable electric wire path-controlling component 30, work such as automatically temporarily bundling a plurality of second electric wires using automated equipment can also be easily performed.
[0120] Furthermore, since the cover component 50 can be configured as a single component, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the second electric wire 24 can be easily accommodated while reducing the number of components.
[0121] Also, if the lid part No. 2 If a lid that can be opened and closed with a thin hinge is provided to accommodate electric wires, it would be difficult to use a hard resin because the thin hinge would need to be elastically deformed. In this embodiment, the lid component 50 does not need to have a high degree of flexibility, so the lid component 50 can also be made of a hard resin.
[0122] In particular, the main body component 32 and the cover component 50 can be formed from reinforced resin. This makes it possible to ensure the strength of the movable wire route control component by using the main body component and the cover component formed from fiber-reinforced resin.
[0123] The wire accommodating slit 66 also includes a bent portion 66v that bends between the opening edges 64a, 64b. Therefore, by bending the second wire 24 along the bent portion 66v, the second wire 24 passes through the wire accommodating slit 66 and is disposed in the second wire accommodating space 64. The second wire in the second wire accommodating space 64 24 For example, when the wire receiving slit 66 is in the position where the second wire is inserted, the wire is difficult to be extracted from the second wire receiving space 64 to the outside. 24 Even if the diameter φ is equal to or larger than this, the second electric wire 24 is difficult to pull out from the second electric wire accommodating space 64.
[0124] Furthermore, the bent portion 66v is bent to form a curved line. Therefore, when the second electric wire 24 passes through the electric wire accommodating slit 66, even if it hits the edges on both sides of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 that are bent according to the bent portion 66v, it is prevented from being pressed against with a strong force.
[0125] Furthermore, because the outer width W1 of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 is equal to or greater than the diameter φ of the second electric wire 24, the second electric wire 24 can be easily pushed into the outer portion of the electric wire accommodating slit 66. If the second electric wire 24 can be pushed into the outer portion of the electric wire accommodating slit 66, even if the inner width of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 is narrowed, the second electric wire 24 can be easily passed through the electric wire accommodating slit 66 and enter the second electric wire accommodating space 64 by further pushing the second electric wire 24.
[0126] Furthermore, if the overall width of the electric wire accommodating slit 66 is equal to or greater than the diameter φ of the second electric wire 24, the second electric wire 24 can be easily inserted into the electric wire accommodating slit 66. This is particularly effective when the cover part 50 is made of a hard resin and it is difficult to significantly deform the additional enclosing part 60.
[0127] Furthermore, if the wire accommodating slits 66 are formed in the widthwise center of the cover part 50, even if the left and right mounting orientations of the multiple cover parts 50 are different, the wire accommodating slits 66 will be aligned in the widthwise center of the cover part 50. This makes it easy to continuously accommodate the second wires 24 in the second wire accommodating spaces 64 through the multiple wire accommodating slits 66.
[0128] Furthermore, if the number of second electric wires 24 is smaller than the number of first electric wires 22, the second electric wires 24 can be easily added. Furthermore, by accommodating the added second electric wires 24 in the second electric wire accommodating space 64, which is smaller than the first electric wire accommodating space 36, the range of movement of the second electric wires 24 when restricting their routing is limited. This makes it easier to predict the bending performance of the second electric wires 24.
[0129] Furthermore, since the additional surrounding portion 60 is provided inside the lock hole portion 54, the lock hole portion 54 can be easily molded using a die without the additional surrounding portion 60 getting in the way.
[0130] Furthermore, the front-to-rear length of the additional enclosing portion 60 is set to gradually decrease as it gets farther away from the main body component 32. Therefore, when a movable electric wire path regulating component 30 rotates relative to an adjacent movable electric wire path regulating component 30, the additional enclosing portion 60 is less likely to interfere with the adjacent additional enclosing portion 60. Therefore, it is easy to set a large rotation range between adjacent movable electric wire path regulating components 30.
[0131] In addition, the portion of the additional surrounding portion 60 opposite to the main body component 32 is formed in an arc shape. Therefore, when the exterior member 70 is placed over the outside of a plurality of movable electric wire path regulating components 30 arranged in a row, the additional surrounding portion 60 is less likely to get caught on the exterior member 70, making it easier to place the exterior member 70 over the movable electric wire path regulating components 30. Second Wire 24This makes it easier to maintain the additional surrounding portion 60 at the center in the width direction.
[0132] The configurations described in the above embodiment and modifications can be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually contradictory. [Explanation of symbols]
