[0004] In recent years, the number and types of electric devices installed in vehicles have increased with the trend toward electrification of vehicles. Furthermore, because the space inside a vehicle is limited, there are significant restrictions on where the harness body of a wire harness that supplies power to the electric devices can be fixed. As a result, there is sometimes a lack of space to fix the harness body to the vehicle.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to fix the harness body to the vehicle even when the space for fixing the harness body to the vehicle is limited. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A wire harness comprising a first harness main body and a fixing member fixed to a vehicle, wherein the first harness main body is a member constituting an electrical path, the fixing member has a first accommodating portion and a second accommodating portion, the first accommodating portion is a portion that completely surrounds a portion of the first harness main body, the second accommodating portion is a portion that completely surrounds a portion of the second harness main body, and the second harness main body is a wire harness that is a member that constitutes an electrical path in a wire harness other than the wire harness.

[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 comprising a first harness main body and a fixing member fixed to a vehicle, wherein the first harness main body is a member constituting an electrical path, the fixing member has a first accommodating portion and a second accommodating portion, the first accommodating portion is a portion that surrounds a portion of the first harness main body over its entire circumference, the second accommodating portion is a portion that surrounds a portion of the second harness main body over its entire circumference, and the second harness main body is a member that constitutes an electrical path in a wire harness other than the wire harness.

[0010] In the above configuration, a portion of the first harness main body is accommodated in the first accommodating portion, thereby fixing the first harness main body to the vehicle. Furthermore, a portion of the second harness main body is accommodated in the second accommodating portion, thereby fixing the second harness main body to the fixing member. That is, a wire harness including the second harness main body is fixed to a wire harness including the first harness main body and the fixing member. This can prevent a need to secure additional space for contact with the vehicle body, which arises when fixing the second harness main body to the vehicle. Therefore, even when the space for fixing the wire harness to the vehicle is limited, it is possible to fix the first harness main body and the second harness main body to the vehicle.

[0011] [2] The fixing member comprises a base member, a first lid portion and a second lid portion, the base member having a first opening and a second opening formed therein, the first storage portion having a hollow structure with the first opening sealed by the first lid portion, the second storage portion having a hollow structure with the second opening sealed by the second lid portion, and it is preferable that the surface of the base member facing the first lid portion sealing the first opening and the surface of the base member facing the second lid portion sealing the second opening face each other.

[0012] In the above configuration, since the first opening is provided, the first harness body can be easily accommodated in the first housing portion, and since the second opening is provided, the second harness body can be easily accommodated in the second housing portion.

[0013] However, between the two processes of accommodating the first harness main body in the first housing and the second harness main body in the second housing, a process of fixing the fixing member to the vehicle body may be performed. In such a case, even if the first opening and the second opening are provided on the same surface, it is difficult to integrate the first cover portion and the second cover portion. Furthermore, when the first cover portion and the second cover portion are arranged side by side, the area of ​​the surface on which they are arranged tends to be large.

[0014] In contrast, in the above configuration, the surface of the base member facing the first lid portion that closes the first opening and the surface of the base member facing the second lid portion that closes the second opening are opposed to each other, which prevents the fixing member from becoming larger and allows steps such as fixing the fixing member to the vehicle body to be performed between the above two steps.

[0015] [3] It is preferable that a predetermined lid portion, which is either the first lid portion or the second lid portion, is disposed facing the floor surface of the vehicle. In the above configuration, after the predetermined harness main body is accommodated in the predetermined accommodation portion formed by the predetermined lid portion, the fixing member can be attached to the vehicle body, and the harness main body other than the predetermined harness main body out of the first harness main body and the second harness main body can be fixed to the vehicle body by the fixing member.

[0016] [4] It is preferable that the fixing member comprises a base member and a first lid portion, a first opening is formed in the base member, the first accommodating portion has a hollow structure with the first opening sealed by the first lid portion, the first harness body comprises a corrugated tube, and the first lid portion has a rib formed thereon.

[0017] In the above configuration, when the first harness main body is accommodated in the first accommodation section, the rib is disposed between two adjacent annular protrusions formed on the outer periphery of the corrugated tube. When the first harness main body attempts to displace in the longitudinal direction, the rib comes into contact with the annular protrusions. This prevents the corrugated tube from displacing in the longitudinal direction.

[0018] [5] It is preferable that the fixing member comprises a base member and a first lid portion, a first opening is formed in the base member, the first accommodating portion has a hollow structure with the first opening sealed by the first lid portion, the first harness main body comprises a corrugated tube, and a rib is formed on a portion of the base member facing the first harness main body accommodated in the first accommodating portion.

[0019] In the above configuration, when the first harness main body is accommodated in the first accommodation section, the rib is disposed between two adjacent annular protrusions formed on the outer periphery of the corrugated tube. When the first harness main body attempts to displace in the longitudinal direction, the rib comes into contact with the annular protrusions. This prevents the corrugated tube from displacing in the longitudinal direction.

[0020] [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 between drawings. Furthermore, "orthogonal" in this specification does not only mean a strict orthogonal relationship, but also includes a case where the wiring harness is roughly orthogonal within a range in which the functions and effects of this embodiment are achieved.

[0021] In addition, "facing" in this specification refers to surfaces or components facing each other, and includes not only cases where they are completely facing each other, but also cases where they are partially facing each other. In addition, "facing" in this specification includes both cases where a component separate from the two components is interposed between the two components, and cases where nothing is interposed between the two components.

[0022] "Overall structure of wire harness" The high-voltage wire harness 10 shown in Fig. 1 is mounted on a vehicle V. The vehicle V may be, for example, an electric vehicle. Alternatively, the vehicle V may be, for example, a hybrid electric vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine in addition to a motor generator 16 as an on-board prime mover.

[0023] The high-voltage wire harness 10 electrically connects an inverter 14 installed in the front of the vehicle V to a high-voltage battery 12 installed behind the inverter 14 on the vehicle V. The high-voltage wire harness 10 is formed in an elongated shape so as to extend in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle V.

[0024] The inverter 14 converts the terminal voltage of the high-voltage battery 12, which is a DC voltage source, into AC voltage and applies it to the motor generator 16. The terminal voltage of the high-voltage battery 12 is, for example, several hundred volts. The terminal voltage of the high-voltage battery 12 is higher than that of the low-voltage battery that serves as the power source for the on-board computer.

[0025] The high-voltage wire harness 10 includes connectors 20 and 22, a high-voltage harness body 30, and a protector 60. The connectors 20, 22 are provided at both ends of the high-voltage wire harness 10. The connectors 20, 22 form an interface that electrically connects the high-voltage harness main body 30 to electronic equipment. The high-voltage harness main body 30 is an elongated member that forms an electrical path.

[0026] FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the high-voltage harness main body 30. As shown in FIG. 2, the high-voltage harness main body 30 includes an insulated wire 36. The insulated wire 36 includes a conductive core wire 32 and an insulating coating 34 that surrounds the core wire 32 and has insulating properties. The core wire 32 may be, for example, a stranded wire formed by twisting together a plurality of metal wires. Alternatively, the core wire 32 may be, for example, a single-core wire formed of a single conductor. The insulating coating 34 covers, for example, the outer circumferential surface of the core wire 32 over the entire circumferential direction. The insulating coating 34 is, for example, made of an insulating resin material.

[0027] The high-voltage harness main body 30 includes a corrugated tube 40 surrounding the insulated wires 36. The outer peripheral surface of the corrugated tube 40 constitutes the outer peripheral surface of the high-voltage harness main body 30. The corrugated tube 40 is flexible and therefore easily bendable. The corrugated tube 40 has a bellows structure in which annular recesses 42 and annular protrusions 44 are alternately arranged along its length. Each of the annular recesses 42 and annular protrusions 44 forms a ring that completes one revolution along the circumferential direction of the corrugated tube 40. The corrugated tube 40 can be made of a synthetic resin such as polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, or ABS resin.

[0028] About the Protector FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of the protector 60 and its vicinity in the high-voltage wire harness 10. As shown in FIG. The protector 60 includes a base member 70, a lid portion 90, and a lid portion 120. The protector 60 is made of resin. The material of the protector 60 may be, for example, a synthetic resin such as polyolefin, polyamide, polyester, or ABS resin.

[0029] The protector 60 accommodates a portion of the high-voltage harness main body 30. In other words, the protector 60 surrounds a portion of the high-voltage harness main body 30 over the entire circumference of the high-voltage harness main body 30. In other words, in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the high-voltage harness main body 30, all semi-lines extending radially from the central axis of the high-voltage harness main body 30 intersect the protector 60. This allows the high-voltage harness main body 30 to be fixed to the vehicle body. The longitudinal direction of the high-voltage harness main body 30 is the direction in which current flows in the high-voltage harness main body 30.

[0030] The protector 60 also houses a portion of the low-voltage harness main body 50 that constitutes the low-voltage wire harness. That is, the protector 60 surrounds a portion of the low-voltage harness main body 50 over the entire circumference of the low-voltage harness main body 50. In other words, in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the low-voltage harness main body 50, all semi-lines extending radially from the central axis of the low-voltage harness main body 50 intersect the protector 60. This secures the low-voltage harness main body 50 to the protector 60. The low-voltage harness main body 50 forms an electrical path for transmitting power supplied by a low-voltage battery. In addition to the low-voltage harness main body 50, the low-voltage wire harness also includes a connector and the like. The longitudinal direction of the low-voltage harness main body 50 is the direction in which current flows in the low-voltage harness main body 50.

[0031] Figure 4 shows the structure of the portion of the protector 60 that houses a portion of the low-voltage harness main body 50. As shown in Figure 4, the base member 70 of the protector 60 has a bottom surface 72 and side walls 74, 76. The bottom surface 72 and the side walls 74, 76, together with the lid portion 90, form a housing portion that houses a portion of the low-voltage harness main body 50. In other words, the protector 60 has a hollow structure that can house the low-voltage harness main body 50, thanks to the bottom surface 72, the side walls 74, 76, and the lid portion 90.

[0032] The base member 70 also has a protrusion 80. A male member 82 is provided on the protrusion 80. The male member 82 is a member for fixing the protector 60 to the vehicle body. That is, the vehicle body is provided with a female member into which the male member 82 is fitted. The base member 70 also has an insertion hole 84. The bolt 28 shown in FIG. 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 84. This fixes the protector 60 to the vehicle body.

[0033] The base member 70 is also provided with an insertion hole 78 for fixing the lid portion 90. The insertion portion 92 of the lid portion 90 is fitted into the insertion hole 78, thereby fixing the lid portion 90 to the base member 70. When the lid portion 90 is removed from the base member 70, an opening of a housing portion for accommodating the low-voltage harness main body 50 is formed. A portion of the low-voltage harness main body 50 is accommodated in the housing portion through this opening.

[0034] Figure 5 shows the structure of a portion of the protector 60 that houses a portion of the high-voltage harness main body 30. As shown in Figure 5, the base member 70 of the protector 60 has a bottom surface 102 and side walls 104, 106. The bottom surface 102 and the side walls 104, 106, together with the lid portion 120, form a housing portion that houses a portion of the high-voltage harness main body 30. In other words, the protector 60 has a hollow structure that can house the high-voltage harness main body 30, thanks to the bottom surface 102, the side walls 104, 106, and the lid portion 120.

[0035] A rib 110 is provided at one end of the housing portion of the base member 70 that houses a portion of the high-voltage harness main body 30. A rib 124 is provided at one end of the housing portion of the lid portion 120 that houses a portion of the high-voltage harness main body 30.

[0036] An insertion hole 108 is provided in the base member 70. An insertion portion 122 is provided in the lid portion 120. The insertion portion 122 is fitted into the insertion hole 108, thereby fixing the lid portion 120 to the base member 70. When the lid portion 120 is removed from the base member 70, an opening of a housing portion that houses the high-voltage harness main body 30 is formed. A portion of the high-voltage harness main body 30 is housed in the housing portion through this opening.

[0037] 3 to 5, the opening of the housing that houses the high-voltage harness main body 30 and the opening of the housing that houses the low-voltage harness main body 50 are formed on opposite sides of the base member 70, i.e., on the front and back sides of the base member 70. That is, the bottom surface 72 that the lid portion 90 faces and the bottom surface 102 that the lid portion 120 faces face each other on the base member 70. In other words, the bottom surface 72 that the lid portion 90 faces and the bottom surface 102 that the lid portion 120 faces are disposed on opposite sides of the base member 70.

[0038] In this embodiment, the housing portion that houses the high-voltage harness main body 30 is bent in the longitudinal direction due to layout considerations. Accordingly, ribs 112 are provided to increase the strength of the protector 60. The longitudinal direction of the housing portion that houses the high-voltage harness main body 30 refers to the longitudinal direction of the high-voltage harness main body 30.

[0039] "Actions and Effects of the Present Embodiment" The high-voltage wire harness 10 includes a protector 60 in addition to a high-voltage harness main body 30. The protector 60 is fixed to the vehicle body by fitting a male member 82 into a predetermined female member. The protector 60 is also fixed to the vehicle body by fastening bolts 28. This fixes the high-voltage harness main body 30 to the vehicle body. In other words, a portion of the high-voltage wire harness 10 is fixed to the vehicle body.

[0040] Furthermore, a portion of the low-voltage harness main body 50 is housed in a protector 60 that constitutes the high-voltage harness main body 30. This secures the low-voltage harness main body 50 to the protector 60. In other words, a low-voltage wire harness including the low-voltage harness main body 50 is secured to the high-voltage wire harness 10. This prevents the need to secure additional space for contact with the vehicle body that would arise from securing the low-voltage harness main body 50 to the vehicle. Therefore, even when the space for securing the wire harnesses to the vehicle is limited, it is possible to secure the high-voltage wire harness 10 and the low-voltage wire harness to the vehicle.

[0041] According to the present embodiment described above, the following actions and effects can be further obtained. (1) The protector 60 includes a base member 70 and a lid 90. As a result, by removing the lid 90 from the base member 70, an opening for the accommodation portion in which the low-voltage harness main body 50 is accommodated is formed. Therefore, the low-voltage harness main body 50 can be easily accommodated in the accommodation portion defined by the bottom surface 72, the side walls 74, 76, and the lid 90.

[0042] (2) The protector 60 is provided with a base member 70 and a lid 120. As a result, by removing the lid 120 from the base member 70, an opening for the accommodation portion in which the high-voltage harness main body 30 is accommodated is formed. Therefore, the high-voltage harness main body 30 can be easily accommodated in the accommodation portion defined by the bottom surface 102, the side walls 104, 106, and the lid 120.

[0043] (3) The opening of the housing that houses the high-voltage harness main body 30 and the opening of the housing that houses the low-voltage harness main body 50 are formed on opposite sides of the base member 70. This makes it easy to insert a step of fixing the protector 60 to the vehicle body between the two steps of housing the high-voltage harness main body 30 in the protector 60 and housing the low-voltage harness main body 50 in the protector 60.

[0044] That is, if a process such as fixing the protector 60 to the vehicle body is performed between the above two processes, it is difficult to simultaneously fit the lid portion 90 and the lid portion 120 to the base member 70. Furthermore, if the opening of the housing portion that houses the high-voltage harness main body 30 and the opening of the housing portion that houses the low-voltage harness main body 50 are provided facing each other on the same surface of the base member 70 and the lid portions 90, 120 are separate bodies, the surfaces that the openings face are likely to become large.

[0045] In response to this, by arranging the pair of openings facing each other on opposite surfaces of the base member 70, it is possible to prevent the protector 60 from becoming large. (4) The lid 90 is disposed facing the floor F. In this case, the protector 60 can be fixed to the vehicle body by storing the low-voltage harness main body 50 in the protector 60 and closing the lid 90. The high-voltage harness main body 30 can then be fixed to the vehicle body by the protector 60.

[0046] (5) The base member 70 of the protector 60 has a rib 110 on the bottom surface 102 that constitutes the housing that houses the high-voltage harness main body 30. As a result, when the high-voltage harness main body 30 is housed in the housing, the rib 110 is disposed between two adjacent annular protrusions 44 formed on the outer periphery of the corrugated tube 40. Therefore, when the high-voltage harness main body 30 attempts to displace in the longitudinal direction, the rib 110 comes into contact with the annular protrusions 44. This prevents the high-voltage harness main body 30 from displacing in the longitudinal direction.

[0047] (6) A rib 124 is provided on the surface of the cover 120 facing the high-voltage harness main body 30. As a result, when the high-voltage harness main body 30 is accommodated in the accommodation portion, the rib 124 is disposed between two adjacent annular protrusions 44 formed on the outer periphery of the corrugated tube 40. Therefore, when the high-voltage harness main body 30 attempts to displace in the longitudinal direction, the rib 124 comes into contact with the annular protrusions 44. This prevents the high-voltage harness main body 30 from displacing in the longitudinal direction.

[0049] <Other embodiments> This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined and implemented within the scope of technical compatibility.

[0050] "About the first harness body and the second harness body" The corrugated tube 40 constituting the high-voltage harness main body 30 is not limited to being made of resin, but may be made of metal, for example.

[0051] The high-voltage harness main body 30 does not necessarily have to include the corrugated tube 40. For example, the first harness main body may include a resin pipe with a smooth surface. Alternatively, for example, the first harness main body may include a metal pipe with a smooth surface.

[0052] The first harness main body does not necessarily have to be the high-voltage harness main body 30. For example, it may be a low-voltage harness main body 50. The second harness main body does not necessarily have to be the low-voltage harness main body 50. For example, it may be the high-voltage harness main body 30.

[0053] It is not essential that one of the first harness body and the second harness body be the high-voltage harness body 30 and the other be the low-voltage harness body 50. For example, both the first harness body and the second harness body may be high-voltage harness bodies.

[0054] "Regarding the specified lid" The predetermined lid portion facing the floor portion F is not limited to the lid portion 90. For example, the lid portion 120 may be used.

[0055] "About fixing parts" In the above embodiment, the path between the first harness body and the second harness body is bent, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0056] In the above configuration, the lid 90 is configured to be detachable from the base member 70, but this is not limiting. For example, the lid 90 may be connected to the base member 70 by a hinge mechanism. In this case, the opening formed by the bottom surface 72 and the side walls 74, 76 can be opened while the lid 90 remains connected to the base member 70.

[0057] In the above configuration, the lid 120 is configured to be detachable from the base member 70, but this is not limiting. For example, the lid 120 may be connected to the base member 70 by a hinge mechanism. In this case, the opening formed by the bottom surface 102 and the side walls 104, 106 can be opened while the lid 120 remains connected to the base member 70.

[0058] It is not essential that the first opening for accommodating the first harness main body and the second opening for accommodating the second harness main body are formed on the front and back sides of the base member 70. For example, the lid portions 90 and 120 may be arranged side by side on the same surface of the base member 70.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the protector 60 is illustrated as having a male member 82 and an insertion hole 84 for the bolt 28, but it is not essential that the fixing member have one male member 82 and one insertion hole 84 for fixing to the vehicle body. For example, the fixing member may have two or more male members. Also, for example, the fixing member may have two or more insertion holes. Also, for example, the fixing member may have only one male member or one insertion hole for fixing to the vehicle body. Even in this case, depending on the shape of the undulations on the vehicle body, it is possible to firmly fix the fixing member to the vehicle body by using the undulations as a member for restricting displacement of the fixing member.

[0060] The fixing member does not necessarily have to have a lid portion that can open and close the storage space that houses the first harness main body. For example, the fixing member may be a member that does not have a lid portion and has an insertion hole through which the first harness main body is inserted. Specifically, for example, the protector 60 may have an insertion hole through which the high-voltage harness main body 30 is inserted, without having a lid portion 120.

[0061] The fixing member does not necessarily have to have a lid portion that can open and close the storage space that houses the second harness main body. For example, the fixing member may be a member that does not have a lid portion and has an insertion hole through which the second harness main body is inserted. Specifically, for example, the protector 60 may have an insertion hole through which the low-voltage harness main body 50 is inserted, without having a lid portion 90.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the rib 110 is provided only at one end of the base member 70 in the longitudinal direction of the high-voltage harness main body 30, but this is not limitative. For example, ribs may be provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the rib 124 is provided only at one end of the lid 120 in the longitudinal direction of the high-voltage harness main body 30, but this is not limited to this. For example, ribs may be provided at both longitudinal ends. Note that the configuration in which ribs are provided only at one longitudinal end of the high-voltage harness main body 30 on both the base member 70 and the lid 120 is not limited to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 5. In other words, it is not necessary for the rib provided on the base member 70 and the rib provided on the lid 120 to be at opposite ends of each other.

[0064] The fixing member does not necessarily have to be made of resin. For example, it may be made of metal. The vehicle body with which the fixed member comes into contact is not limited to the floor F. The fixing member does not necessarily have to be disposed inside the vehicle V. For example, it may be fixed to the floor F by contacting the outside of the vehicle V.

[0065] "About the Applications of High-Voltage Wire Harnesses" It is not essential that the high-voltage wire harness 10 constitute an electrical path that electrically connects the high-voltage battery 12 and the inverter 14. For example, the high-voltage wire harness 10 may constitute an electrical path that electrically connects the motor generator 16 and the inverter 14. This can be achieved, for example, by arranging the motor generator 16 at the front of the vehicle V and arranging the inverter 14 and the high-voltage battery at the rear of the vehicle V.

[0066] The high-voltage wire harness 10 does not necessarily have to form a single electrical path. For example, it may form a Y-shaped electrical path that electrically connects the high-voltage battery and two inverters.

[0067] "Wire harness layout" It is not essential that the wire harness constitute a path electrically connecting electronic devices arranged in the front of the vehicle V with electronic devices arranged in the rear of the vehicle V. This can be achieved, for example, in a configuration in which a motor generator is arranged in the front of the vehicle and a high-voltage battery and inverter are arranged in the rear of the vehicle V. In other words, it is sufficient that the wire harness constitutes an electrical path electrically connecting the high-voltage battery and the inverter. Even in this case, by providing a protector on the wire harness, the wire harness can be fixed by the protector. Moreover, another wire harness can also be fixed by the same protector.
