Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the harness fixture and the vehicle body of Patent Document 1, dimensional errors can occur individually. Therefore, when the dimensional errors of both sides act cumulatively, it may become difficult to fix the harness fixture to the vehicle body, or the harness fixture may be excessively deformed. However, the harness fixture of Patent Document 1 does not have a structure for eliminating the influence caused by the overlap of the dimensional errors of both sides.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main object is to provide a harness protector that can absorb the influence even when the dimensional errors on the harness protector side and the vehicle body side act cumulatively. Means and Effects for Solving the Problems

[0006] The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above. Next, the means for solving this problem and its effects will be described.

[0007] In view of the present invention, a harness protector having the following configuration is provided. That is, the harness protector comprises a housing portion and a fixing portion. The housing portion houses a wire harness. The fixing portion is connected to the housing portion and fixed to the vehicle body. The fixing portion comprises a clamp portion and a holder. The clamp portion clamps and fixes a protruding portion that protrudes in a direction protruding from the vehicle body by inserting the protruding portion into the clamp portion. The holder is capable of mounting the clamp portion and has an opening formed therein into which the clamp portion can be inserted from a first vertical direction perpendicular to the protruding direction.

[0008] Since the clamp portion is movable in the first vertical direction relative to the holder, the range of motion in that direction tends to be large, thus absorbing dimensional errors in the first vertical direction between the vehicle body and the harness protector.

[0009] In the harness protector described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, an engagement hole is formed in one of the clamp portion and the holder. An engagement claw that can engage with the engagement hole is formed in the other of the clamp portion and the holder. When the direction perpendicular to the first vertical direction in a plane perpendicular to the protruding direction is referred to as the second vertical direction, the size of the engagement hole in the first vertical direction is larger than the size of the engagement claw in the first vertical direction. The size of the engagement hole in the second vertical direction is larger than the size of the engagement claw in the second vertical direction.

[0010] Because the engagement holes are larger than the engagement claws in two directions, they can absorb dimensional errors in the first and second vertical directions between the vehicle body and the harness protector.

[0011] In the harness protector described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, in a plane perpendicular to the protruding direction, the direction perpendicular to the first vertical direction is referred to as the second vertical direction. The clamp portion comprises a main body portion and a reinforcing portion. The main body portion clamps the protruding portion. The reinforcing portion is connected to the end of the main body portion furthest from the vehicle body, and its size in the second vertical direction is larger than that of the main body portion.

[0012] The clamp section can be reinforced to increase its impact resistance.

[0013] In the harness protector described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, an engagement hole is formed in one of the clamp portion and the holder. An engagement claw that can engage with the engagement hole is formed in the other of the clamp portion and the holder. The reinforcing portion comprises a first reinforcing portion and a second reinforcing portion located outward from the main body portion in the second vertical direction. The engagement hole or the engagement claw is formed in both the first reinforcing portion and the second reinforcing portion of the clamp portion.

[0014] Since engagement holes or claws can be formed at two relatively distant locations, the clamp can be stably attached to the holder.

[0015] In the harness protector described above, the following configuration is preferable. That is, the holder comprises a first retaining surface and a second retaining surface. The first retaining surface is in surface contact with the first reinforcing portion. The second retaining surface is in surface contact with the second reinforcing portion. The engagement hole or the engagement claw is formed on both the first retaining surface and the second retaining surface of the holder.

[0016] Because the clamp and the holder make surface contact at two points, the holder can stably hold the clamp.

[0017] In the harness protector described above, it is preferable that the holder has a protective surface that covers at least a portion of the end face of the clamp portion that is furthest from the vehicle body.

[0018] By providing a protective surface, the clamp portion can be protected from stones bounced on the road surface or the like.

[0019] In the harness protector, it is preferable that a viewing hole is formed at a position corresponding to the protruding portion in the protective surface.

[0020] Since there is a viewing hole, the operation of inserting the protruding portion into the fixing portion can be easily performed.

[0021] In the harness protector, it is preferable to provide a cover that covers at least a part of the opening portion.

[0022] When the opening portion is covered with a cover, the clamp portion can be protected from stones bounced on the road surface or the like.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A wire harness is routed in an automobile. A wire harness is an automobile component in which electric wires are bundled together and connectors or terminals are connected to the electric wires. The harness protector 1 of this embodiment covers and protects the wire harness and also fixes the wire harness to the automobile body 90.

[0025] Specifically, the harness protector 1 comprises a housing section 2 and a fixing section 3. The housing section 2 is a member with a space formed inside. The harness is protected by housing it in the space of the housing section 2. The shape of the housing section 2 shown in Figure 1 is an example and may differ from that of this embodiment. The fixing section 3 is connected to the housing section 2. The housing section 2 and the fixing section 3 may be integrally molded or connected by a snap fit or fastener. The fixing section 3 is fixed to a protruding section 91 of the vehicle body 90. The housing section 2 and the fixing section 3 are made of resin. However, at least a portion of the housing section 2 and the fixing section 3 may be made of a material other than resin.

[0026] The harness protector 1 is fixed to the vehicle body 90 at multiple locations. Specifically, at the first fixing location shown in Figure 1, the fixing portion 3 of the harness protector 1 is fixed to a protruding portion 91 that protrudes from the vehicle body 90. At the second fixing location, a part of the housing portion 2 is fixed to the vehicle body 90 using a fastener 92. The fastener 92 is, for example, a bolt, rivet, or pin. The harness protector 1 may be fixed to the vehicle body 90 at one location or at three or more locations.

[0027] Here, the vehicle body 90 and the harness protector 1 are separate parts, and dimensional errors may occur in each. As mentioned above, with conventional harness fasteners, if the dimensional errors between the vehicle body and the harness fastener accumulate, it may become difficult to fix the harness fastener to the vehicle body, or the harness fastener may become excessively deformed. In this respect, the harness protector 1 of this embodiment has a fixing part 3 that will be described later, so that even if the dimensional errors between the vehicle body 90 and the harness protector 1 accumulate, the harness protector 1 can be properly fixed to the vehicle body 90.

[0028] Next, with reference to Figures 2 to 6, the fixing portion 3 of the harness protector 1 will be described in detail. In the following description, as shown in Figure 2, the direction in which the protruding portion 91 protrudes will be simply referred to as the "protruding direction," one of the directions perpendicular to the protruding direction (details will be described later) will be referred to as the "first vertical direction," and the direction perpendicular to the first vertical direction in a plane perpendicular to the protruding direction will be referred to as the "second vertical direction."

[0029] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the fixing part 3 comprises a holder 4, a clamp part 5, and a cover 6.

[0030] A space for positioning the clamp portion 5 is formed inside the holder 4. By positioning the clamp portion 5 in this space, the clamp portion 5 is protected from stones and other objects kicked up from the road surface. The holder 4 in this embodiment is substantially rectangular parallelepiped in shape, and the holder 4 has a protective surface 10, a first side surface 11, a second side surface 12, a third side surface 13, and a mounting surface 14. When the protective surface 10 is considered an end surface (top or bottom surface), the first side surface 11, the second side surface 12, the third side surface 13, and the mounting surface 14 correspond to the sides.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1, the protective surface 10 is a surface facing downwards, or in other words, the protective surface 10 is the surface facing the road surface. Therefore, by forming the protective surface 10 on the holder 4, the clamp portion 5 can be protected from stones and other objects kicked up from the road surface. In addition, a viewing hole 10a is formed in the protective surface 10. The viewing hole 10a is a hole for checking the positional relationship between the clamp portion 5 and the protruding portion 91 when fixing the fixing portion 3 to the protruding portion 91.

[0032] No holes are formed on the first side surface 11, the second side surface 12, and the third side surface 13. A mounting hole 14a is formed on the mounting surface 14. The mounting hole 14a is used to attach the cover 6 to the fixing part 3. Furthermore, an opening 20 is formed on the mounting surface 14. The opening 20 is a part for inserting and attaching the clamp part 5. Here, the first vertical direction is the direction in which the clamp part 5 is inserted into the holder 4. In other words, the first vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 14.

[0033] The opening 20 is roughly T-shaped and can be divided into a first opening 21 and a second opening 22. The first opening 21 is the vertical part of the T, and the second opening 22 is the horizontal part of the T. Therefore, the second vertical size of the first opening 21 is smaller than the second vertical size of the second opening 22. Also, the second opening 22 is formed on the side that protrudes more than the first opening 21 (downstream in the protruding direction).

[0034] Inside the holder 4, a first retaining surface 25 and a second retaining surface 26 are formed. The first retaining surface 25 and the second retaining surface 26 are formed on the outside of the first opening 21 in the second vertical direction. The first retaining surface 25 and the second retaining surface 26 constitute the inner wall surface of the second opening 22. The first retaining surface 25 and the second retaining surface 26 are planes perpendicular to the protruding direction. Engagement holes 27 for attaching the clamp portion 5 are formed in the first retaining surface 25 and the second retaining surface 26, respectively.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3, the clamp portion 5 comprises a main body portion 30 and a reinforcing portion 40.

[0036] A through hole 31 is formed in the main body 30. The axial direction of the through hole 31 is parallel to the projection direction. As shown in Figure 5, a plurality of hooking portions 30a are formed on the inner wall surface of the through hole 31. By inserting the projection 91 into the through hole 31, the plurality of hooking portions 30a catch on the surface of the projection 91, clamping the projection 91. In this way, the clamp portion 5 fixes the projection 91. If the projection 91 is a stud bolt, the tips of the hooking portions 30a fit into the grooves of the stud bolt. Note that the configuration of the main body 30 may differ from that of this embodiment as long as the projection 91 can be fixed.

[0037] The reinforcing portion 40 is connected to the end of the main body portion 30 that is furthest from the vehicle body 90. The reinforcing portion 40 comprises a first reinforcing portion 41 and a second reinforcing portion 42. The first reinforcing portion 41 and the second reinforcing portion 42 are located on the outside of the main body portion 30 in the second vertical direction. As a result, the clamp portion 5 is approximately T-shaped. This makes it possible to increase the strength of the clamp portion 5 compared to when the clamp portion 5 is composed only of the main body portion 30.

[0038] The clamp portion 5 can be inserted into the holder 4 along the first vertical direction. By inserting the clamp portion 5 into the holder 4, the main body portion 30 is inserted into the first opening 21, and the first reinforcing portion 41 and the second reinforcing portion 42 are inserted into the second opening 22. As a result, even if one tries to move the clamp portion 5 in the opposite direction of the protrusion, the first reinforcing portion 41 and the first holding surface 25 interfere with each other (furthermore, the second reinforcing portion 42 and the second holding surface 26 also interfere), so the clamp portion 5 cannot be moved. In other words, during the installation of the clamp portion 5, it becomes difficult for the clamp portion 5 to detach from the holder 4. Therefore, the installation of the clamp portion 5 can be easily performed.

[0039] Furthermore, by inserting the clamp portion 5 into the holder 4, the first holding surface 25 and the first reinforcing portion 41 face each other or make surface contact, and the second holding surface 26 and the second reinforcing portion 42 face each other or make surface contact. Also, as shown in Figure 4, an engaging claw 43 is formed on the side of the first reinforcing portion 41 facing the vehicle body 90 (in other words, the side facing the first holding surface 25). Similarly, an engaging claw 43 is also formed on the same side of the second reinforcing portion 42. The engaging claw 43 can engage with the engaging hole 27. By engaging the engaging claw 43 with the engaging hole 27, the clamp portion 5 can be attached to the holder 4. In addition, in this embodiment, multiple (two) engaging claws 43 are formed on the first reinforcing portion 41, and multiple (two) engaging claws 43 are also formed on the second reinforcing portion 42. This allows the clamp portion 5 to be firmly attached to the holder 4.

[0040] Thus, in this embodiment, the holder 4 and the clamp portion 5 can be engaged on one side and the other side of the main body portion 30. Therefore, the clamp portion 5 can be firmly attached to the holder 4 compared to the case where the engagement points are close together. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the holder 4 and the clamp portion 5 are in surface contact on one side and the other side of the main body portion 30, rattling is less likely to occur, and the clamp portion 5 can be stabilized relative to the holder 4.

[0041] Here, the holder 4 and the clamp portion 5 are relatively movable in the first vertical direction during the installation process. Therefore, even after the clamp portion 5 is attached to the holder 4, by simply leaving a gap in the engagement portion, the holder 4 and the clamp portion 5 can be slightly moved relative to each other in the first vertical direction. For example, even if the misalignment of the protruding portion 91 includes a misalignment in the first vertical direction, and the misalignment of the through hole 31 also includes a misalignment in the first vertical direction, and both misalignments act cumulatively, it is possible that these misalignments can be absorbed by the relative movement of the holder 4 and the clamp portion 5. Consequently, even if the above misalignments occur, the clamp portion 5 can be attached to the holder 4 without force (while suppressing excessive deformation).

[0042] The gap between the engaging claw 43 and the engaging hole 27 will be explained in more detail. As shown in Figure 6, the size of the engaging hole 27 in the first vertical direction is larger than the size of the engaging claw 43 in the first vertical direction. Specifically, the engaging hole 27 is larger than the engaging claw 43 in the first vertical direction by an amount corresponding to the length La + Lb in Figure 6. Therefore, even if the above-mentioned misalignment in the first vertical direction occurs, if this misalignment is less than or equal to La + Lb, the clamp portion 5 can be attached to the holder 4 without difficulty. The length La + Lb is, for example, 1 mm or more and 3 mm or less, but it may be a value outside this range.

[0043] In this embodiment, the effects of dimensional errors in the second vertical direction can also be absorbed. As shown in Figure 6, the size of the engagement hole 27 in the second vertical direction is larger than the size of the engagement claw 43 in the second vertical direction. Specifically, the engagement hole 27 is larger than the engagement claw 43 in the second vertical direction by an amount corresponding to the length Lc+Ld in Figure 6. Therefore, if the length of the displacement in the second vertical direction is less than or equal to Lc+Ld, the clamp portion 5 can be attached to the holder 4 without difficulty. The length Lc+Ld is, for example, 1 mm or more and 3 mm or less, but it may be a value outside this range.

[0044] Note that the mounting structure of the holder 4 and the clamp portion 5 is an example and can be changed. For example, the holder 4 may have an engaging claw and the clamp portion 5 may have an engaging hole. The engaging hole 27 may be formed at a position different from the first holding surface 25 and the second holding surface 26. Instead of attaching the clamp portion 5 to the holder 4 using the engaging claw and engaging hole, the clamp portion 5 may be attached to the holder 4 using a different fastener.

[0045] The cover 6 is flat and has mounting claws 51 formed on it for attachment to the holder 4. The mounting claws 51 are engageable with the mounting holes 14a. By engaging the mounting claws 51 with the mounting holes 14a, the cover 6 can be attached to the holder 4. Note that this mounting structure is just one example, and the holder 4 may have mounting claws formed on it and the cover 6 may have mounting holes formed on it. Instead of using the engaging claws and engaging holes to attach the cover 6 to the holder 4, the cover 6 may be attached to the holder 4 using a different fastener.

[0046] Next, the protection of the clamp portion 5 will be explained. When the main body portion 30 of the clamp portion 5 is subjected to external force, the hook portion 30a may deform, potentially causing the fixation with the protruding portion 91 to be released or the fixing force to weaken. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the main body portion 30 of the fixing portion 3 from stones and other objects kicked up from the road surface.

[0047] In this embodiment, the main body 30 is covered by the protective surface 10, first side surface 11, second side surface 12, third side surface 13 of the holder 4, and the cover 6. This provides sufficient protection for the main body 30. Furthermore, even if a stone kicked up from the road surface were to pass through the viewing hole 10a and hit the clamp portion 5, it would instead hit the protruding portion 91 or the reinforcing portion 40. Since the reinforcing portion 40 is stronger than the main body 30, the impact of the collision would be minimal.

[0048] The viewing hole 10a is formed to confirm the positions of the protruding portion 91 and the through hole 31 when fixing the harness protector 1 to the vehicle body 90. Therefore, the viewing hole 10a is formed in a position corresponding to the protruding portion 91. In other words, when viewed in the direction of protrusion, the protruding portion 91 is positioned inside the viewing hole 10a. Consequently, a stone may strike the protruding portion 91 through the viewing hole 10a. Although the protruding portion 91 has higher strength than the main body portion 30, it is preferable to avoid a stone striking the protruding portion 91. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the protruding portion 91 is positioned so as not to protrude outside the viewing hole 10a. Consequently, stones and the like that bounced up from the road surface are less likely to strike the protruding portion 91.

[0049] Thus, by using the harness protector 1 of this embodiment, damage to the main body 30 and other parts caused by stones or other debris kicked up from the road surface can be suppressed.

[0050] As described above, the harness protector 1 of this embodiment comprises a housing section 2 and a fixing section 3. The housing section 2 houses the wire harness. The fixing section 3 is connected to the housing section 2 and fixed to the vehicle body 90. The fixing section 3 comprises a clamp section 5 and a holder 4. The clamp section 5 clamps and fixes the protruding section 91, which protrudes from the vehicle body 90 in a protruding direction, by inserting the protruding section 91 into the clamp section 5. The holder 4 is capable of mounting the clamp section 5 and has an opening 20 into which the clamp section 5 can be inserted from a first vertical direction perpendicular to the protruding direction.

[0051] Since the clamp portion 5 is movable in the first vertical direction relative to the holder 4, the range of motion in that direction tends to be large, and thus it can absorb dimensional errors in the first vertical direction between the vehicle body 90 and the harness protector 1.

[0052] In the harness protector 1 of this embodiment, an engagement hole 27 is formed in one of the clamp portion 5 and the holder 4. An engagement claw 43 that can engage with the engagement hole 27 is formed in the other of the clamp portion 5 and the holder 4. The first vertical size of the engagement hole 27 is larger than the first vertical size of the engagement claw 43. The second vertical size of the engagement hole 27 is larger than the second vertical size of the engagement claw 43.

[0053] Since the engagement hole 27 is larger than the engagement claw 43 in two directions, it can absorb dimensional errors in the first and second vertical directions between the vehicle body 90 and the harness protector.

[0054] In the harness protector 1 of this embodiment, the clamp portion 5 comprises a main body portion 30 and a reinforcing portion 40. The main body portion 30 clamps the protruding portion 91. The reinforcing portion 40 is connected to the end of the main body portion 30 that is farther from the vehicle body 90, and its size in the second vertical direction is larger than that of the main body portion 30.

[0055] The clamp portion 5 is equipped with a reinforcing portion 40, which increases its impact resistance.

[0056] In the harness protector 1 of this embodiment, an engagement hole 27 is formed in one of the clamp portion 5 and the holder 4. An engagement claw 43 that can engage with the engagement hole 27 is formed in the other of the clamp portion 5 and the holder 4. The reinforcing portion 40 comprises a first reinforcing portion 41 and a second reinforcing portion 42 located outward from the main body portion 30 in the second vertical direction. An engagement hole 27 or an engagement claw 43 is formed in both the first reinforcing portion 41 and the second reinforcing portion 42 of the clamp portion 5.

[0057] Since engagement holes 27 or engagement claws 43 can be formed at two relatively distant locations, the clamp portion 5 can be stably attached to the holder 4.

[0058] In the harness protector 1 of this embodiment, the holder 4 comprises a first retaining surface 25 and a second retaining surface 26. The first retaining surface 25 is in surface contact with the first reinforcing portion 41. The second retaining surface 26 is in surface contact with the second reinforcing portion 42. Engaging holes 27 or engaging claws 43 are formed on both the first retaining surface 25 and the second retaining surface 26 of the holder 4.

[0059] Since the clamp portion 5 and the holder 4 make surface contact at two points, the holder 4 can stably hold the clamp portion 5.

[0060] In the harness protector 1 of this embodiment, the holder 4 is provided with a protective surface 10 that covers at least a portion of the end face of the clamp portion 5 that is furthest from the vehicle body 90.

[0061] By providing the protective surface 10, the clamp portion 5 can be protected from stones and other debris kicked up from the road surface.

[0062] In the harness protector 1 of this embodiment, a viewing hole 10a is formed on the protective surface 10 at a position corresponding to the protruding portion 91.

[0063] Because there is a viewing hole 10a, the operation of inserting the protruding part 91 into the fixing part 3 can be easily performed.

[0064] The harness protector 1 of this embodiment includes a cover 6 that covers at least a portion of the opening 20.

[0065] The opening 20 is covered by the cover 6, which protects the clamp portion 5 from stones and other debris kicked up from the road surface. [Explanation of symbols]
