Wiring Member Structure for Secure Wire Holding on Sheet Surfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wire harness technologies face challenges in securely holding electrical wires on sheet materials when the outer material and surface material do not fuse well, leading to instability and potential detachment.
Innovation Solution
A wiring member configuration that includes a base member with a holding surface, where wire-like transmission members are disposed and intersected by wire-like members fused to the holding surface on both sides, ensuring secure attachment and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the electrical wire is directly bonded to the sheet material by welding, then the bonding process is simple, but the holding strength is insufficient when the materials are hard to fuse
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wire-like member as an intermediary element between the electrical wire and the sheet material. This mediator wire is fused to the sheet material at multiple positions and intersects with the electrical wire, providing secure holding without requiring direct fusion between the electrical wire and sheet material. This resolves the contradiction by enabling strong holding through the intermediary wire while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
2Strength
If the wire-like member is fused strongly to the holding surface, then the holding strength is improved, but the ease of manufacture deteriorates when fusion is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial fusion action by fusing the wire-like member to the sheet material at multiple discrete positions rather than requiring complete or excessive fusion along the entire contact length. This partial fusion approach achieves sufficient holding strength while reducing manufacturing difficulty, as not the entire wire needs to be fully fused to the sheet material.
3Reliability
If multiple wire-like members are used to intersect and hold the transmission member, then the holding reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the holding function by using multiple wire-like members that intersect with the electrical wire at different positions. Each wire-like member provides independent holding at its fusion points with the sheet material, and together they create a distributed holding system. This segmentation improves reliability through redundancy while keeping individual components simple.

AI summary
A wiring member includes: a base member including a holding surface; a wire-like transmission member disposed on a side of the holding surface; and a wire-like member disposed on the side of the holding surface, wherein the wire-like member intersects with the wire-like transmission member at a plurality of positions from a side opposite to the base member, and the wire-like member is fused to the holding surface on both sides of the wire-like transmission member.
