Wire Harness Module With Sequential Bent-State Fixation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wire harness fixation methods require complex operations to combine vehicle fixation components, complicating the process of fixing a bent wire harness to a vehicle.
Innovation Solution
A wire harness module with dual-purpose vehicle fixation components that can maintain a wire harness in a bent form and be easily fixed to a vehicle, allowing for simplified mounting by separating and combining fixation components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If vehicle fixation components are combined by locking vehicle fixation portions to each other, then the wire harness can be maintained in a bent state during transport, but the operation of fixing the wire harness to the vehicle becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle fixation component is divided into separate functional portions: a vehicle fixation portion for attaching to the vehicle and a harness holding portion for maintaining the bent state. This segmentation allows the harness holding portion to be released after mounting, simplifying the fixation operation while maintaining the bent state during transport.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire harness is pre-configured in a bent state using the vehicle fixation component before installation. The harness holding portion temporarily maintains this bent state during transport and installation, then is released to allow the harness to be straightened and properly fixed to the vehicle, eliminating the need for complex post-installation adjustments.
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple vehicle fixation components are used to maintain bent state, then the wire harness can be protected during transport, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle fixation component is designed with multi-functionality: it serves both as a structural support to maintain the bent state during transport and as a temporary fixation device during installation. The same component structure performs multiple functions, reducing the need for additional separate components and simplifying the overall device complexity.

AI summary
Provided is a technique suitable for fixing, to a vehicle, a part of a wire harness that is maintained in a bent state, and thereafter straightening the wire harness and mounting the wire harness to a vehicle. A wire harness module includes: a wire harness including a plurality of wires; and a plurality of vehicle fixation components that are attached to the wire harness and are attachable to a vehicle. In a state in which at least one of the plurality of vehicle fixation components stays fixable to the vehicle, at least one of the plurality of vehicle fixation components keeps the wire harness in a bent form.
