Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the configuration of wrapping and holding the harness with a sheet-like exterior material as in the above Patent Document 1 has room for improvement in terms of stabilizing the mounting position of the harness.

[0005] In consideration of the above facts, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle harness support member and a vehicle seat that are composed of fewer parts and can stabilize the mounting position of the harness.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The vehicle harness support member of the present invention as described in claim 1 comprises a sheet-like outer material that encloses the harness, and a mounting member provided that penetrates the outer material, wherein the mounting member has a holding portion on the inside of the outer material that holds the harness when the harness is enclosed in the outer material, and a locking portion on the outside of the outer material that can be locked at a predetermined position in the vehicle interior. The retaining portion comprises a first retaining portion formed integrally with the locking portion and a second retaining portion connected to the first retaining portion. The first retaining portion includes a band portion that is wrapped around the harness and a head portion through which the tip of the band portion is inserted and locked. The second retaining portion includes a connecting portion through which the band portion is inserted and a clip portion formed integrally with the connecting portion. The clip portion is made of an elastic piece formed in a substantially C shape. .

[0007] The vehicle harness support member of the present invention as described in claim 1 comprises a sheet-like outer material that encloses the harness and a mounting member provided that penetrates the outer material. The mounting member has a holding portion on the inside of the outer material when the harness is enclosed in the outer material, and the harness is held in place by the holding portion. The mounting member also has a locking portion on the outside of the outer material, and the locking portion is attached to a predetermined position inside the vehicle interior.

[0008] Thus, in the vehicle harness support member, the mounting member is provided so as to penetrate the sheet-like exterior material, and the exterior material and the mounting member can be considered as essentially a single component. For this reason, the vehicle harness support member can be constructed with fewer parts. In addition, since the retaining part that holds the harness is provided on the mounting member together with the locking part, the mounting position of the harness can be stabilized. Furthermore, the mounting member has a first holding portion formed integrally with the locking portion, and a second holding portion connected to the first holding portion. Therefore, after a predetermined harness is held by the first holding portion, other harnesses that are assembled later can be held by the second holding portion. This allows for stable support of harnesses added later according to the assembly process, and enables the harnesses to be covered with a common exterior material.

[0009] The vehicle harness support member of the present invention as described in claim 2 has the configuration described in claim 1, wherein the exterior material has a bending rigidity higher than that of the harness.

[0010] In the vehicle harness support member of the present invention as described in claim 2, the outer material has a bending rigidity higher than that of the harness, so it is less likely to deform due to interference with the harness enclosed inside, and can maintain its shape. As a result, when performing work such as attaching or detaching the harness while it is enclosed in the outer material, the harness can be stably supported.

[0013] Claim 3The vehicle harness support member of the present invention described herein is Claim 1 In the configuration described above, the second retaining portion is detachably connected to the first retaining portion.

[0014] Claim 3 In the vehicle harness support member of the present invention described herein, the second retaining portion of the mounting member is detachably connected to the first retaining portion. As a result, depending on the number of harnesses to be bundled, the second retaining portion can be omitted by disconnecting it from the first retaining portion in places where it is not needed, thereby optimizing the number of parts. The vehicle harness support member of the present invention as described in claim 4 has the configuration described in claim 1, wherein the second holding portion is formed integrally with the first holding portion.

[0015] The vehicle harness support member of the present invention as described in claim 5 has the configuration described in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the exterior material is folded along a predetermined fold line and is configured to wrap the harness between a first side surface and a second side surface that overlap in the thickness direction, and the mounting member is provided penetrating the first side surface.

[0016] In the vehicle harness support member of the present invention as described in claim 5, the exterior material is folded along a predetermined fold line and is configured to enclose the harness between the first and second side surfaces that overlap in the thickness direction. With this configuration, the exterior material can be easily modified according to the mounting position of the harness, and is highly versatile.

[0017] The vehicle seat of the present invention as described in claim 6 comprises a seat frame constituting the skeleton of the vehicle seat, a seat spring stretched across the seat frame, a plate-shaped mounting panel integrally molded with the seat spring, and a vehicle harness support member attached to the mounting panel, wherein the vehicle harness support member comprises a sheet-shaped outer material that encloses the harness and a mounting member provided through the outer material, the mounting member having a holding portion on the inside of the outer material that holds the harness when the harness is enclosed in the outer material, and having a locking portion on the outside of the outer material that can be locked to the mounting panel The retaining portion comprises a first retaining portion formed integrally with the locking portion and a second retaining portion connected to the first retaining portion. The first retaining portion includes a band portion that is wrapped around the harness and a head portion through which the tip of the band portion is inserted and locked. The second retaining portion includes a connecting portion through which the band portion is inserted and a clip portion formed integrally with the connecting portion. The clip portion is made of an elastic piece formed in a substantially C shape. .

[0018] In the vehicle seat of the present invention according to claim 6, an attachment panel is integrally formed on a seat spring spanned across a seat frame, and a vehicle harness support member is attached via the attachment panel.

[0019] Here, since the exterior material of the vehicle harness support member is a sheet-like member as described above, it can follow the deformation of the seat spring. Therefore, the harness can be attached to the seat spring without inhibiting the reaction force performance of the seat spring that affects the sitting comfort of the vehicle seat.

[0020] Also, according to the vehicle harness support member, a plurality of harnesses can be held by the holding portion of the attachment member, and thus a plurality of harnesses can be externally covered using a common exterior material. Thereby, even when the number of harnesses increases with the electrification of the vehicle seat, it is possible to cope without changing the design of the seat spring, and it has excellent versatility. Furthermore, the mounting member has a first holding portion formed integrally with the locking portion, and a second holding portion connected to the first holding portion. Therefore, after a predetermined harness is held by the first holding portion, other harnesses that are assembled later can be held by the second holding portion. This allows for stable support of harnesses added later according to the assembly process, and enables the harnesses to be covered with a common exterior material.

[0021] The vehicle seat of the present invention according to claim 7 has, in the configuration according to claim 6, a plurality of the seat springs spanned across the seat frame at a predetermined interval, and the attachment panel is provided to connect between the plurality of seat springs.

[0022] According to the vehicle seat of the present invention according to claim 7, the attachment panel is provided to connect between a plurality of seat springs. Therefore, the load of the harness transmitted through the attachment panel is dispersed to the plurality of seat springs. Thereby, when the number of harnesses increases with the electrification of the both-purpose seat, the load of the harness can be borne by the plurality of seat springs, so that a decrease in the reaction force performance of each seat spring can be suppressed, and the sitting comfort of the vehicle seat can be improved.

Advantages of the Invention

[0023] As described above, in the vehicle harness support member and the vehicle seat according to the present invention, it is composed of a small number of parts and can stabilize the mounting position of the harness.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0025] The vehicle harness support member 10 (hereinafter also simply referred to as "harness support member 10") according to this embodiment and the vehicle seat 12 to which the harness structure using the harness support member 10 is applied will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 5. In each figure, arrows FR indicate the front direction of the seat, arrows UP indicate the upward direction of the seat, and arrows RH indicate the right direction of the seat. Also, in each figure, reference numerals may be omitted for the sake of clarity.

[0026] The vehicle seat 12 is, for example, positioned as the driver's seat, passenger seat, rear seat, etc., in a vehicle not shown. This vehicle seat 12 is equipped with various electrical components, such as an electric seat sliding mechanism and an electric reclining mechanism.

[0027] Figure 1 shows a bottom view of the seat cushion 14 of the vehicle seat 12, viewed from below the seat. As shown in this figure, the vehicle seat 12 includes a seat cushion 14 that supports the buttocks and thighs of the seated occupant, a seat back (not shown) that supports the back of the seated occupant, and a headrest (not shown) that supports the head of the seated occupant.

[0028] As an example, the seat cushion 14 houses the drive unit 22 of the electric seat sliding mechanism 20. The harness H extending from the drive unit 22 is routed along the seat cushion frame 40, which constitutes the frame of the seat cushion 14, and is connected to the vehicle's power supply (not shown). The seat cushion frame 40 also has harnesses H routed to it that are connected to the buckle unit 30 and the side airbag unit (not shown).

[0029] As described above, multiple harnesses H connected to various electrical components are routed through the seat cushion frame 40. These multiple harnesses H are attached to the seat spring 50, which is stretched across the seat cushion frame 40, while being enclosed by the outer material 60 of the harness support member 10. The details of the vehicle seat 12 will be described below.

[0030] (Seat cushion frame) The seat cushion frame 40 includes a pair of side frames 41, a pan frame 42 spanning between the front ends of the left and right side frames 41, and a rear frame 43 spanning between the rear ends of the left and right side frames 41.

[0031] Upper rails 24, which constitute the electric seat sliding mechanism 20, are fixed to the left and right side frames 41, and these upper rails 24 are supported by lower rails 26, which are fixed to the floor of the vehicle body (not shown).

[0032] The drive unit 22 of the electric seat slide mechanism 20 is not particularly limited, but as an example, it includes an electric motor 22A mounted on the lower side of the seat of the pan frame 42. The electric motor 22A is operated by operation of an operating unit 28 provided on the side of the seat cushion 14. This electric motor 22A is the drive source for a rotating shaft 22B that extends in the seat width direction. Driven by the electric motor 22A, the rotating shaft 22B rotates in forward and reverse directions around the axis in the seat width direction, and rotates a seat slide screw (not shown) fixed to the upper rail 24 side via a worm gear (not shown). The seat slide screw is screwed into a nut (not shown) fixed to the lower rail 26 side, and the forward and reverse rotation of the seat slide screw causes the upper rail 24 to move in the seat front-rear direction relative to the lower rail.

[0033] Below the seat cushion frame 40, harnesses H extending from the electric motor 22A and the control unit 28 are routed, as well as harnesses H extending from the buckle unit 30 located on the side of the seat, and harnesses H that pass below the seat cushion 14 and are connected to the side airbag unit (not shown) which is connected to the vehicle's power supply. These harnesses H are attached to the seat spring 50 via harness support members 10, which will be described later.

[0034] (Seat spring) The seat spring 50 is a metal wire spring and is stretched between the pan frame 42 and the rear frame 43. In this embodiment, four seat springs 50, each made of S-springs, are stretched across the seat at predetermined intervals in the seat width direction. The S-spring has a shape in which a single wire is continuously meandered in an S-shape.

[0035] Each seat spring 50 has an S-shaped meandering form, and curved portions 51 that protrude in an arc along the seat width direction are alternately formed on both sides in the extension direction of the spring (seat front-rear direction). Each seat spring is provided so that the positions of the curved portions 51 are aligned side by side along the seat width direction. In addition, a mounting panel 52 is provided to connect the adjacent curved portions 51.

[0036] The mounting panel 52 is a long, plate-shaped resin member integrally formed with the seat spring 50 by injection molding or the like. The mounting panel 52 is provided with the plate thickness direction in the vertical direction of the seat and connecting adjacent seat springs 50 in the seat width direction. Multiple mounting holes 54 are formed through the mounting panel 52 along the connection direction of the seat springs 50 (i.e., the seat width direction). The locking portion 74 of the harness support member 10, which will be described later, can be locked into these mounting holes 54.

[0037] (Vehicle harness support member) Figure 2 shows a cross-section of the harness support member 10 cut along the line 2-2 in Figure 1. As shown in this figure, the harness support member 10 has a sheet-like exterior material 60 and a mounting member 70 that penetrates the exterior material 60.

[0038] (Exterior materials) The exterior material 60 is composed of a single sheet-like member. The material of the exterior material 60 is not particularly limited. In one example of this embodiment, the exterior material 60 is composed of a woven fabric made by interweaving chemical fibers such as nylon and polyurethane.

[0039] Since the exterior material 60 is used to enclose multiple harnesses H in a bundled manner, it is preferable that it has a higher bending rigidity than the bending rigidity of the harnesses H enclosed inside. This makes it less susceptible to deformation due to interference with the harnesses and allows the exterior material to maintain its shape.

[0040] Figure 3 shows the unfolded state of an exterior material 60 that is in the form of a single sheet. As shown in this figure, the exterior material 60 is cut into a shape that is symmetrical with respect to a predetermined fold line P, and by folding the exterior material 60 along the fold line P, it has a first side surface 61 and a second side surface 62 that overlap in the thickness direction.

[0041] The outer edges of the first side surface 61 and the second side surface 62 are provided with joints 64 that join the overlapping ends in the thickness direction when the exterior material 60 is folded. In one example of this embodiment, the outer edge of the first side surface 61 is the male side 64A of the joint 64, and the outer edge of the second side surface 62 is the female side 64B of the joint 64.

[0042] The male side 64A of the joint 64 has a fabric that has been processed to have a hook-shaped nap on its surface, similar to the male side of a so-called "hook-and-loop fastener," and is fixed to it by sewing or the like. On the other hand, the female side 64B of the joint 64 is made of a fabric that has been napped in a loop shape, similar to the female side of a so-called "hook-and-loop fastener," so that the fibers of the hook-shaped napped male side 64A can easily adhere to it. The female side 64B may be formed by fixing a fabric with a loop-shaped nap on its surface to the outer edge of the exterior material 60 by sewing or the like, but in this embodiment, it is formed by pulling out the fibers at the end of the exterior material 60 and napping them in a loop shape. That is, in this embodiment, the female side 64B of the joint 64 is formed by applying the same processing to the exterior material 60 itself as to the female side of a "hook-and-loop fastener."

[0043] As the exterior material 60 is folded along the fold line P, the outer edges of the first side surface 61 and the second side surface 62 overlap in the thickness direction, and the fibers of the male side 64A of the joint 64 engage with the fibers of the female side 64B. This creates an inner space inside the exterior material 60 that encloses the harness (see Figure 2).

[0044] (Mounting components) The mounting member 70 is composed of a first holding portion 71 capable of holding the harness H, a second holding portion 72 connected to the first holding portion 71, and a locking portion 74 integrally formed with the first holding portion 71.

[0045] The first retaining portion 71 has a configuration similar to that of a so-called "cable tie," and includes a band portion 711 formed in the shape of a long strip, and a head portion 712 through which the tip of the band portion 711 is inserted. The band portion 711 is provided with a plurality of protrusions (not shown) along its extending direction.

[0046] The head portion 712 has a cylindrical shape through which the band portion 711 can be inserted, and the projection of the band portion 711 can engage with the claw (not shown in the reference numerals) formed on its inner surface. The head portion 712 is also provided with a retaining piece 713 that extends in an overhang shape toward the locking portion 74, which will be described later. This retaining piece 713 is provided in a pair and elastically deforms so as to spread apart when the locking portion 74 is locked to the mounting panel 52. As a result, the exterior material 60 is pressed against the mounting panel 52 by the elastic return of the retaining piece 713.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4(A), when the band portion 711 is wrapped around the harness H and the end of the band portion 711 is inserted into the head portion 712 and pulled, the projection of the band portion 711 engages with the claw of the head portion. As a result, the harness H is held in place by the first retaining portion 71.

[0048] Here, we will describe the second retaining part 72 connected to the first retaining part 71. The second retaining part 72 has a connecting part 721 that connects to the first retaining part 71 and a clip part 722 that can hold the harness H. The connecting part 721 is provided on the base end side of the second retaining part 72 and has a cylindrical shape. The second retaining part 72 is connected to the first retaining part 71 by inserting the band part 711 of the first retaining part 71 through the connecting part 721.

[0049] The clip portion 722 is provided on the tip side of the second holding portion 72 and is formed integrally with the connecting portion 721. The clip portion 722 is an elastic piece molded in a roughly C shape, and is configured to insert and hold the harness H while pressing it against the C-shaped opening.

[0050] The second holding part 72 allows additional harnesses H added in a later process to be held integrally with the first holding part 71 after the harness H has been held by the first holding part 71. Furthermore, since the second holding part 72 is detachable from the first holding part 71, it can be omitted where it is not needed.

[0051] Although Figures 2, 3, and 5 show the first holding part 71 and the second holding part 72 holding one harness H, the system is not limited to this configuration. Multiple harnesses H may be held by a single holding part.

[0052] The first retaining portion 71 and the second retaining portion 72 are positioned inside the outer material 60 when the harness H is encased in the outer material 60.

[0053] On the other hand, the locking portion 74 is positioned on the outside of the exterior material 60 when the harness H is encased in the exterior material 60. The locking portion 74 is made up of a roughly wedge-shaped clip and has a wedge-shaped projection 741. The locking portion 74 is attached by inserting it into a mounting hole 54 formed in the mounting panel 52 while elastically deforming the projection 741. When the projection 741 overcomes the mounting hole 54, it elastically returns to its original position and locks onto the periphery of the mounting hole 54. In this way, the mounting member 70 is fixed to the mounting panel 52 of the seat spring 50.

[0054] (Mechanism of action and effect) Next, referring to Figure 5, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be explained while describing the procedure for supporting the harness H in a predetermined position inside the vehicle. Note that in Figure 5, the shapes of the exterior material 60 and the mounting member 70 are simplified for clarity.

[0055] As shown in Figure 5(A), first, the sheet-like exterior material 60 is unfolded, and through holes 68 are formed that penetrate the first side surface 61 of the exterior material 60 in the thickness direction.

[0056] As shown in Figure 5(B), the locking portion 74 of the mounting member 70 is inserted through the through hole 68, and the second holding portion 72 is inserted through the band portion 711 of the first holding portion 71 to connect them.

[0057] As shown in Figure 5(C), the harness H is held by the first holding part 71 and the second holding part 72.

[0058] Subsequently, the exterior material 60 is folded along a predetermined folding line P, so that the harness H is wrapped by the exterior material 60 (Figure 5(D)). In this state, the locking portion 74 protruding from the outside of the exterior material 60 is inserted into a mounting hole 54 provided at a predetermined position inside the vehicle interior and locked in place (Figure 5(E)). In this embodiment, the mounting panel 52 is integrally formed with the seat spring 50 which is stretched across the cushion frame, and the locking portion 74 (harness support member 10) is locked into the mounting hole 54 formed in the mounting panel 52. This allows multiple harnesses H to be bundled together and attached to the seat spring 50 while being covered by the exterior material.

[0059] As described above, in the vehicle harness support member 10 of this embodiment, the mounting member 70 is provided so as to penetrate the sheet-like exterior material 60, and the exterior material 60 and the mounting member 70 can be considered as substantially a single component. For this reason, the vehicle harness support member 10 can be constructed with fewer parts. In addition, since the first holding portion 71 for holding the harness H is provided on the mounting member 70 together with the locking portion 74, the mounting position of the harness H can be stabilized.

[0060] Furthermore, since the outer material 60 has a higher bending rigidity than the harness H, it is less likely to deform due to interference with the harness H enclosed inside, and can maintain its shape. As a result, when the harness H is enclosed in the outer material 60, the harness H can be stably supported when performing tasks such as installation and removal of the harness H.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting member 70 has a first holding portion 71 formed integrally with the locking portion 74, and a second holding portion 72 connected to the first holding portion 71. Therefore, after holding a predetermined harness H with the first holding portion 71, other harnesses H that are assembled later can be held by the second holding portion 72. This allows for stable support of harnesses H that are added later according to the assembly process, and enables the use of a common exterior material for the exterior.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second retaining portion 72 is detachably connected to the first retaining portion 71. This allows the second retaining portion 72 to be omitted in locations where it is not needed, depending on the number of harnesses being bundled, by disconnecting it from the first retaining portion 71, thereby optimizing the number of parts.

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the exterior material 60 is in the form of a single sheet. As a result, the exterior material 60 is folded along a predetermined fold line P and is configured to enclose the harness H between the first side surface 61 and the second side surface 62 which overlap in the thickness direction. With this configuration, the exterior material 60 can be easily modified according to the mounting position of the harness, and is highly versatile.

[0064] Furthermore, as in this embodiment, when the harness H supported by the seat spring 50 is covered with the harness support member 10, the sheet-like covering material follows the deformation of the seat spring 50. Therefore, the harness H can be attached to the seat spring 50 without hindering the reaction force performance of the seat spring 50, which affects the seating comfort of the vehicle seat 12.

[0065] Furthermore, the mounting panel 52, which is provided as a mounting surface for the harness support member 10, is provided by connecting multiple seat springs 50. Therefore, the load of the harness H transmitted via the mounting panel 52 is distributed among the multiple seat springs 50. As a result, when the number of harnesses H increases due to the electrification of the vehicle seat 12, the load of the harness H can be borne by multiple seat springs 50, thereby suppressing a decrease in the reaction force performance of individual seat springs 50 and improving the seating comfort of the vehicle seat 12.

[0066] [Explanation of variations] The vehicle harness support member 10 according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, as shown in Figure 6, a notch 80 may be provided in the first side surface 61 of the exterior material 60 for inserting the curved portion 51 of the seat spring 50. According to this modified example, by inserting the curved portion 51 of the seat spring 50 into the notch 80 of the exterior material 60, the exterior material 60 can be stably supported by the seat spring 50. This makes it easier to position the locking portion 74 with respect to the mounting hole 54 on the seat side, resulting in excellent workability.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the case in which the exterior material is composed of a single sheet-like member was described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Figures 7(A) and 7(B), the exterior material may be composed of multiple sheet-like members.

[0068] The exterior material 90 shown in Figure 7(A) is configured to enclose the harness H by overlapping two sheet-like members, exterior material 90A and exterior material 90B, in the thickness direction. In this modified example, the male side 64A of the joint 64 is provided at the end of exterior material 90A, and the female side 64B of the joint 64 is provided at the end of exterior material 90B, and a mounting member 70 is provided passing through one of the exterior material 90A and exterior material 90B (in the figure, the exterior material 90A side).

[0069] On the other hand, the joint that connects the ends of the exterior material 60 is not limited to having the same configuration as a hook-and-loop fastener as in the above embodiment. As shown in Figure 7(B), the ends of the exterior material may be joined using a joining member 92 such as a clip. In this modified example, a through hole 94 is provided in one of the exterior materials 90A and 90B, which are made up of a pair of sheet-like members (on the exterior material 90B side in the figure). A joining member 92 is also provided in the other exterior material 90A and 90B, and when the exterior material 90A and the exterior material 90B are overlapped in the thickness direction, the joining member 92 is inserted through the through hole 94 and locked in place.

[0070] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the second retaining portion 72 is provided in a manner that allows it to be separated from the first retaining portion 71, but the invention is not limited to this configuration. As shown in the mounting member 700 in Figure 8, the first retaining portion 71 and the second retaining portion 72 may be formed integrally.

[0071] Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes a case where the exterior material has a bending rigidity higher than that of the harness, the physical properties of the exterior material are not limited to materials with high rigidity. For example, when attaching a clip-shaped locking part to a seat spring, the exterior material may be made of an expandable and contractible sheet-like member, from the viewpoint of allowing the exterior material to follow the deflection of the seat spring.

[0072] Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes an example in which the harness support member 10 is applied to a harness fixed to the seat spring of the seat cushion frame, it is not limited to this. Mounting holes 54 can also be formed in the seat cushion frame and the harness support member 10 can be assembled thereto. The harness support member 10 can also be assembled to the seat back frame that constitutes the skeleton of the seat back, or to the seat spring that spans the seat back frame. In the above embodiment, the seat spring is made of an S-spring, but it is not limited to this. The seat spring may be made of formed wire, a flat mat, or the like.
