[0012] As shown in FIG. 1 , the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment is mounted on a vehicle 100 such as an automobile. The wiring structure 1 has a protector 2, a rotating member 3, an exterior member 4, and an electric wire W. The wiring structure 1 connects a vehicle body 110 of the vehicle 100 and a sliding body 120. The sliding body 120 is, for example, a sliding door. The sliding body 120 moves relative to the vehicle body 110 along a first direction X. The first direction X is, for example, the front-rear direction of the vehicle 100. The sliding body 120 may slide by the operation of a link mechanism connecting the vehicle body 110 and the sliding body 120. The sliding body 120 may slide while being guided by a rail arranged on the vehicle body 110.

[0013] The sliding body 120 moves between a first position P1 and a second position P2. The first position P1 is a first end of the sliding range of the sliding body 120, and the second position P2 is a second end of the sliding range of the sliding body 120. The first position P1 is, for example, a fully closed position of the sliding door. The second position P2 is, for example, a fully open position of the sliding door.

[0014] The protector 2 is disposed on a vehicle body 110 of a vehicle 100. The protector 2 is a tubular member having a wiring path 50 in which an electric wire W is routed. The protector 2 is molded from, for example, an insulating synthetic resin.

[0015] The rotating member 3 is rotatably supported by the protector 2. The rotating member 3 has a tubular portion 31 through which the electric wire W is inserted, and is disposed in the wiring path 50 of the protector 2. The rotating member 3 rotates between a first rotation position and a second rotation position. The position of the rotating member 3 shown by a solid line in FIG. 1 is the first rotation position. The first rotation position is a rotation position where the tubular portion 31 faces the sliding body 120 at the first position P1. The position of the rotating member 3 shown by a dashed line in FIG. 1 is the second rotation position. The second rotation position is a rotation position where the tubular portion 31 faces the sliding body 120 at the second position P2.

[0016] The exterior member 4 is a cylindrical protective member that covers the electric wires W. The exterior member 4 is, for example, a bellows-shaped member called a corrugated tube. One end of the exterior member 4 is held by the rotating member 3. The other end of the exterior member 4 is held by a holding member 130 arranged on the sliding body 120.

[0017] The wiring structure 1 has at least one electric wire W. The electric wire W is wired through the protector 2, the rotating member 3, the exterior member 4, and the holding member 130. The electric wire W is connected to a device disposed on the sliding body 120. The electric wire W includes, for example, a power line and a communication line.

[0018] The holding member 130 is disposed on the sliding body 120 and moves together with the sliding body 120 in the first direction X. The holding member 130 is, for example, a rotor member that is rotatably supported. In this case, the holding member 130 allows the exterior member 4 to extend in a substantially straight line from the rotating member 3 to the holding member 130.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2 , the protector 2 has a lower cover 5 and an upper cover 6. The lower cover 5 has a groove-shaped wiring passage 50 in which the electric wire W is routed. The upper cover 6 engages with the lower cover 5 so as to cover the wiring passage 50. The wiring passage 50 has a first opening 51 and a second opening 52. The first opening 51 is an opening through which the electric wire W is drawn toward the vehicle body 110. The second opening 52 is an opening through which the electric wire W is drawn toward the slide body 120.

[0020] The lower cover 5 has a through hole 53 that rotatably supports the rotating member 3. The through hole 53 is disposed near the second opening 52 in the wiring passage 50. The through hole 53 penetrates the lower cover 5 along the engagement direction in which the lower cover 5 and the upper cover 6 engage with each other. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper cover 6 has a recess 61. The recess 61 faces the through hole 53 of the lower cover 5. The upper cover 6 rotatably supports the rotating member 3 by means of the recess 61. As shown in FIG. 2, an engagement portion 54 is provided on the outer surface of the lower cover 5. The upper cover 6 has an engagement portion 62 that engages with the engagement portion 54. The lower cover 5 and the upper cover 6 have fixing portions 55, 63 that are fixed to the vehicle body 110. The fixing portions 55, 63 have through holes into which fastening members such as bolts are inserted.

[0021] As shown in Figure 4, the rotating member 3 has a first member 7 and a second member 8. The first member 7 and the second member 8 are molded from, for example, an insulating synthetic resin. The first member 7 has an opposing wall 70, a first side wall 71, and a second side wall 72. The second member 8 has an opposing wall 80, a first side wall 81, and a second side wall 82. The first member 7 and the second member 8 engage with each other with the opposing walls 70, 80 facing each other.

[0022] 5, the first member 7 has a shaft 73. The shaft 73 is inserted into the through hole 53 of the protector 2 and is rotatably supported by the through hole 53. The shaft 73 protrudes from the opposing wall 70 toward the side opposite to the side of the side walls 71 and 72. The shaft 73 is disposed at a first end 70a in the longitudinal direction of the opposing wall 70. The first end 70a is an end from which the electric wire W is drawn toward the first opening 51 of the protector 2.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 4 , the side walls 71 and 72 of the first member 7 extend from the edge of the opposing wall 70. The opposing wall 70, the first side wall 71, and the second side wall 72 form a passage with a rectangular cross-section. In this embodiment, the first side wall 71 extends linearly. The second side wall 72 has a curved end. More specifically, the second side wall 72 curves away from the first side wall 71 as it approaches the first end 70a of the opposing wall 70. The width of the opposing wall 70 varies according to the curved shape of the second side wall 72, widening as it approaches the first end 70a. The edge 70b of the first end 70a has a generally arcuate shape. The second end 70c of the opposing wall 70 has a rib 74 that engages the end of the exterior member 4. The second end 70c is the end of the opposing wall 70 opposite the first end 70a.

[0024] The second member 8 has a shaft portion 83. The shaft portion 83 is inserted into the recess 61 of the protector 2 and is rotatably supported by the recess 61. The shaft portion 83 protrudes from the opposing wall 80 toward the side opposite to the side of the side walls 81, 82. The shaft portion 83 is disposed at a first end portion 80a in the longitudinal direction of the opposing wall 80. The first end portion 80a is an end portion that faces the first end portion 70a of the first member 7.

[0025] The side walls 81, 82 of the second member 8 stand upright from the edge of the opposing wall 80. The opposing wall 80, the first side wall 81, and the second side wall 82 form a passage with a rectangular cross-section. The first side wall 81 extends linearly. The second side wall 82 has a curved end portion corresponding to the second side wall 72 of the first member 7. More specifically, the second side wall 82 curves away from the first side wall 81 as it approaches the first end 80a of the opposing wall 80. Therefore, the width of the opposing wall 80 increases as it approaches the first end 80a. The edge 80b of the first end 80a has a generally arcuate shape.

[0026] The first member 7 has an engaging portion 75. The second member 8 has an engaging portion 85 that engages with the engaging portion 75. The first member 7 and the second member 8 are combined to form a rectangular cylindrical tubular portion 31. The electric wire W is drawn out from the second end portion 70c toward the slider 120.

[0027] 6 shows the rotating member 3 in the first rotation position. extend from the rotating member 3 toward the sliding body 120 at the first position P1. FIG. 7 shows the rotating member 3 at the second rotation position. The exterior member 4 and the electric wire W extend from the rotating member 3 toward the sliding body 120 at the second position P2. The rotating member 3 of this embodiment rotates about the axis CX. As will be described below, the position of the axis CX is determined so as to form an appropriate bend R in the electric wire W.

[0028] FIG. 8 shows the rotating member 3 alone. The axis CX is the central axis of the shaft portion 83. The shaft portion 73 is arranged coaxially with the shaft portion 83. Therefore, the axis CX is also the central axis of the shaft portion 73. The position of the axis CX is shifted from the central axis CL of the tubular portion 31. The position of the axis CX is set so that the length of the wiring path of the electric wire W is equal when the rotating member 3 is in the first rotation position and when the rotating member 3 is in the second rotation position.

[0029] 9, the routing path W2 of the electric wire W when the slider 120 is at the second position P2 is shown by a dashed dotted line. The bending radius R of the electric wire W inside the protector 2 changes depending on the direction in which the electric wire W is pulled out toward the slider 120. In the arrangement of the protector 2 of this embodiment, the bending radius R of the electric wire W when the slider 120 is at the second position P2 is smaller than when the slider 120 is at the first position P1. The routing path W2 is a target path, and is set so that the bending radius R at the base point WB is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. When the slider 120 moves, the bending direction of the electric wire W changes with the base point WB as the base point.

[0030] 9 shows the axial direction WX of the base point WB. Here, if the width Wd is shortened to make the protector 2 more compact, the deflection angle of the wire W with respect to the axial direction WX is likely to become uneven. More specifically, when the sliding body 120 is in the first position P1, the deflection angle of the wire W with respect to the axial direction WX is a first angle θ1. When the sliding body 120 is in the second position P2, the deflection angle of the wire W with respect to the axial direction WX is a second angle θ2. If the width Wd is shortened, the second angle θ2 becomes larger than the first angle θ1.

[0031] When the deflection angles of the electric wire W become uneven in this way, it is necessary to control the bending radius R of the electric wire W when the slider 120 is in the second position P2 so that it does not become too small. Fig. 10 shows a rotation member 300 of a comparative example. In the rotation member 300 of the comparative example, the axis CX is disposed on the central axis CL of the tubular portion 31. In the wiring path W3 of the electric wire W formed by the rotation member 300 of the comparative example, the bending radius R of the electric wire W becomes small. The reason for this is that the path length from the first opening 51 to the tip 31a of the tubular portion 31 becomes short due to the shortened width Wd.

[0032] 11, in the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment, when the rotating member 3 is in the second rotation position, the axis CX is located on the side of the first opening 51 with respect to the central axis CL of the tubular portion 31. In other words, the axis CX is eccentric with respect to the central axis CL of the tubular portion 31. A comparison line CL0 shown in FIG. 11 is the central axis of the tubular portion 31 when the rotating member 300 of the comparative example shown in FIG. 10 is in the second rotation position. In other words, the comparison line CL0 is the central axis of the tubular portion 31 when the axis CX is set on the central axis CL.

[0033] 11 , when the rotating member 3 is in the second rotation position, the central axis CL of this embodiment is located farther from the first opening 51 than the comparison line CL0. Therefore, according to the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment, the bending R of the electric wire W inside the protector 2 can be increased.

[0034] The position of the axis CX is preferably set, for example, so that the path length of the electric wire W at the first rotation position is equal to the path length of the electric wire W at the second rotation position. Here, the two path lengths are path lengths from the first opening 51 of the protector 2 to the tip 31a of the tubular portion 31. The path length at the second rotation position is set so that the bending radius R of the electric wire W inside the protector 2 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

[0035] Here, an example of a method for determining the position of the axis center CX will be described. Figure 12 shows two designed wiring paths W1 and W2. The wiring path W1 is a wiring path for the electric wire W when the sliding body 120 is in the first position P1. The wiring path W1 is determined based on the relative position of the holding member 130 with respect to the protector 2, the shape of the wiring path 50, and the like. In this embodiment, when the sliding body 120 is in the first position P1, the holding member 130 is positioned in the extension direction D1 of the wiring path 50 with respect to the protector 2. Therefore, the electric wire W extends from the protector 2 along the extension direction D1. Therefore, the wiring path W1 curves gently in the wiring path 50.

[0036] When the slider 120 is in the second position P2, the holding member 130 is positioned in a direction D2 intersecting the extension direction D1 relative to the protector 2. Therefore, the electric wire W extends from the protector 2 along the direction D2. In this embodiment, the direction D2 intersects with the extension direction D1 at an angle close to a right angle. Therefore, the wiring path W2 curves so as to significantly change the orientation of the electric wire W in the wiring path 50. The wiring path W2 is set so that the bend R formed in the electric wire W is equal to or greater than a predetermined value R1.

[0037] A target position of the rotating member 3 is set based on the wiring paths W1 and W2. Two positions 3A and 3B of the rotating member 3 are shown in Fig. 12. Position 3A is the target position of the rotating member 3 when the slider 120 is in the first position P1. In other words, position 3A is a position where the electric wire W is extended along the wiring path W1. Position 3A is determined, for example, so that the center line of the wiring path W1 and the central axis line CL of the tubular portion 31 coincide with each other.

[0038] Position 3B is a target position of the rotating member 3 when the slider 120 is in the second position P2. That is, position 3B is a position where the electric wire W extends along the wiring path W2. Position 3B is determined, for example, so that the center line of the wiring path W2 and the central axis line CL of the tubular portion 31 coincide with each other. The two positions 3A and 3B are set so that the electric wire lengths from the first opening 51 to the tip 31a of the tubular portion 31 are equal. The position of the axis center CX is set so as to achieve both positions 3A and 3B, as will be described below.

[0039] As shown in Figure 13, the cylindrical portion 31 has two corners 31b, 31c. Figure 13 also shows a line segment L1 connecting the corner 31b at position 3A with the corner 31b at position 3B, and a perpendicular bisector B1 of the line segment L1. Furthermore, a line segment L2 connecting the corner 31c at position 3A with the corner 31c at position 3B, and a perpendicular bisector B2 of the line segment L2 are also shown. The axis CX is set at the intersection of the two perpendicular bisectors B1, B2. This positions the rotating member 3 at the two target positions 3A, 3B.

[0040] 14, when the rotating member 3 has a protruding portion 32, the axis CX may be located at the protruding portion 32. The rotating member 3 shown in FIG. 14 has the protruding portion 32 that protrudes relative to the cylindrical portion 31. The protruding portion 32 protrudes in a direction away from the central axis CL relative to the cylindrical portion 31. By locating the axis CX at the protruding portion 32, the distance from the central axis CL to the axis CX becomes large.

[0041] As described above, the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment has the protector 2 and the rotating member 3. The protector 2 is disposed in the car body 110 of the vehicle 100, and has the wiring path 50. An electric wire W connecting the car body 110 and the sliding body 120 is routed in the wiring path 50. The rotating member 3 is disposed in the wiring path 50. The rotating member 3 has a tubular portion 31 through which the electric wire W is inserted, and is rotatably supported by the protector 2. The wiring path 50 has a first opening 51 through which the electric wire W is drawn toward the car body 110, and a second opening 52 through which the electric wire W is drawn toward the mating sliding body 120.

[0042] The rotating member 3 rotates between a first rotation position and a second rotation position. The first rotation position is a rotation position where the tubular portion 31 faces the sliding body 120 when the mating sliding body 120 is at a first position P1 in the sliding direction. The second rotation position is a rotation position where the tubular portion 31 faces the sliding body 120 when the mating sliding body 120 is at a second position P2 in the sliding direction. The electric wire W curves between the first opening 51 and the rotating member 3 when the rotating member 3 is at the second rotation position. The axis CX of the rotation shaft that rotates the rotating member 3 is located on the first opening 51 side with respect to the central axis CL of the tubular portion 31 when the rotating member 3 is at the second rotation position. According to the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment, the bend R of the electric wire W inside the protector 2 can be adjusted so as not to be too small.

[0043] The rotating member 3 may have a protruding portion 32 that protrudes from the cylindrical portion 31 in a direction away from the central axis CL. In this case, the axis CX may be located at the protruding portion 32. The protruding portion 32 may be provided so as to include the intersection of the two perpendicular bisectors B1 and B2 in FIG. 13. In other words, the protruding portion 32 may be provided according to the position of the target axis CX.

[0044] The protector 2 and the rotating member 3 may be disposed on the sliding body 120. Fig. 15 shows the wiring structure 1 having the protector 2 and the rotating member 3 disposed on the sliding body 120. The protector 2 is disposed on the sliding body 120 and fixed to the sliding body 120. In this case, the electric wire W is drawn from the first opening 51 of the wiring path 50 toward the sliding body 120. In addition, the electric wire W is drawn from the second opening 52 toward the vehicle body 110, which is the counterpart.

[0045] The holding member 130 is disposed on the vehicle body 110 and holds an end portion of the exterior member 4. The holding member 130 is, for example, a rotor member that is rotatably supported. A vehicle body side protector 140 that rotatably supports the holding member 130 may be disposed on the vehicle body 110. In this case, the electric wire W is drawn from the vehicle body side protector 140 toward a power source or the like.

[0046] The rotating member 3 is disposed in the wiring path 50 of the protector 2, and is rotatably supported by the protector 2. The rotating member 3 rotates so as to extend the exterior member 4 toward the holding member .

[0047] 15, the position of the rotating member 3 indicated by the solid line is the first rotation position. The first rotation position is a rotation position where the tubular portion 31 faces the mating vehicle body 110 when the sliding body 120 is at the first position P1 in the sliding direction. More specifically, the rotating member 3 in the first rotation position faces the tubular portion 31 toward the holding member 130.

[0048] The position of the rotating member 3 indicated by the dashed line is the second rotation position. The second rotation position is a rotation position where the tubular portion 31 faces the mating vehicle body 110 when the sliding body 120 is at the second position P2 in the sliding direction. More specifically, the rotating member 3 in the second rotation position faces the tubular portion 31 toward the holding member 130.

[0049] The electric wire W is bent between the first opening 51 and the rotating member 3 when the rotating member 3 is in the second rotation position. As described with reference to Fig. 11 , the axis CX of the rotation shaft that rotates the rotating member 3 is located on the first opening 51 side with respect to the central axis CL of the tubular portion 31 when the rotating member 3 is in the second rotation position. The wiring structure 1 of this embodiment can adjust the bend R of the electric wire W inside the protector 2 so that it does not become too small, even when the protector 2 and the rotating member 3 are arranged on the sliding body 120.

[0050] The shape and arrangement of the protector 2 are not limited to the illustrated shape and arrangement. The shape and arrangement of the rotating member 3 are not limited to the illustrated shape and arrangement. The sliding body 120 is not limited to a sliding door. The sliding body 120 may be another member that slides relative to the vehicle body 110.
