Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply fasten flat conductors to a panel and prevent the increase in the number of parts, by so constituting the panel that the flat conductors are stored in a flat-conductor storing portion formed integrally with the panel. SOLUTION: An integration panel 1 has a wire-harness storing portion 2 with a lateral U-shaped section and a groove type flat-conductor storing portion 3, formed on the outer bottom surface of the portion 2. When using the panel 1, wire harnesses 5 are stored in the wire-harness storing portion 2, and flat conductors 6 are stored in the flat-conductor storing portion 3. Also, the size of the flat-conductor storing portion 3 is designed to make the overall flat conductors 6 storable therein, and when the entire flat conductors 6 are stored in the flat-conductor storing portion 3, the protection and insulations of the flat conductors 6 can be secured by the flat-conductor storing portion 3. As a result, the flat conductors 6 can be simply fastened to the panel, and since no fastening member of an independent part is required, the increase in the number of parts can be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flat electric wiring used for an internal wiring of an automobile or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, copper wires,
A flat conductor is used in which a flat circuit conductor formed by arranging a plurality of bare wires, covered wires, and the like in parallel is insulated and protected by a laminate film. In addition, a flat conductor in which a plurality of enamel wires are arranged in parallel and fixed in order to omit the laminate film has been proposed.

Further, in recent years, flat conductors are directly arranged on a panel itself such as an integration panel, and the panel is assembled to a vehicle component such as a car or an instrument panel in an assembling process in an automobile manufacturing line. It has been proposed that the flat conductor can be simultaneously wired to a vehicle or a vehicle component, thereby improving the workability of assembling the flat conductor.

[0004]

Conventionally, when wiring a flat conductor to a panel such as an integration panel, a fixing member for fixing the flat conductor to the panel is attached to the panel, and the flat conductor is fixed to the panel by the fixing member. Was fixed.

[0005] However, when the fixing member is used, the operation for fixing the flat conductor to the panel is troublesome, and the number of parts is increased, resulting in a problem of high cost.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a wiring structure for a flat conductor which solves the above-mentioned problems. The structure of the flat conductor is provided by assembling a panel on which a flat conductor is routed to a car. In a wiring structure of a flat conductor configured to be wired to a car, the flat conductor is fixed to a flat conductor fixing portion formed integrally with the panel.

If a flat conductor fixing portion is formed integrally with the panel and the flat conductor is fixed to the flat conductor fixing portion, the flat conductor can be easily fixed to the panel. In addition, since a separate fixing member is not required, the number of components does not increase.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a flat conductor wiring structure according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes an integration panel formed of plastic or the like. The integration panel 1 includes a wire harness storage section 2 having a U-shaped cross section and a groove-shaped flat conductor fixing section 3 formed on the lower surface thereof.

In use, the wire harness 5 is stored in the wire harness storage section 2 and the flat conductor 6 is stored in the flat conductor fixing section 3.

[0010] The flat conductor fixing portion 3 includes a flat conductor 6
It is large enough to hold the whole. When the entire flat conductor 6 is accommodated in the flat conductor fixing portion 3 as described above, there is an advantage that protection and insulation of the flat conductor 6 can be ensured by the flat conductor fixing portion 3.
This advantage is remarkable when a flat conductor in which a plurality of enamel wires are arranged in parallel and fixed is used as the flat conductor 6.

The flat conductor fixing portion 3 having the above structure is formed integrally with the integration panel 1. However, the flat conductor fixing portion 3 is not formed in a groove shape in advance, but is formed in a straight line as shown in FIG. Is also good. In addition, FIG.
(B) As shown in FIG.
And the flat conductor 6 and the wire harness 5 may be fixed by rolling. Further, the flat conductor fixing portion 3 may be formed in two layers as shown in FIG. In this case, the two-layer flat conductor fixing portion 3 may be formed not in a groove shape but in a straight line and then bent. Further, it is needless to say that the flat conductor fixing portion 3 may be composed of three or more layers.

FIG. 5 shows a case where the wire harness 5 is housed in the integration panel 1 in which the wire harness housing 2 and the flat conductor fixing part 3 are integrally formed, and the flat conductor 6 is housed in the flat conductor fixing part 3. FIG. The devices 7 and 8 are fixed to the bottom plate 1A of the integration panel 1, and the side plate 1B of the integration panel 1 is provided with a concave groove 9 for leading out the branch portion 5A of the wire harness. FIG. 5
, 5B indicates a connector.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory sectional view showing a state in which the wire harness 5 is stored in the wire harness storage section 2 of the integration panel 1 and the flat conductor 6 is stored in the flat conductor fixing section 3. Both ends of the flat conductor 6 fixed to the flat conductor fixing portion 3 penetrate the bottom plate 1A of the integration panel 1 and are led out to the upper surface thereof and connected to the devices 7 and 8. The wire harness 5 stored in the wire harness storage section 2
In the figure, both end portions and the branch portion 5A are led out from the integration panel 1. Although not shown, the wire harness 5 is fixed so as not to fall off from the integration panel 1.

As described above, the work of arranging the wire harness 5 and the flat conductor 6 on the integration panel 1 is performed in a factory, and the integration panel 1 is mounted on a vehicle in a mounting process in an automobile manufacturing line. is there. Thereby, the wiring of the wire harness 5 and the flat conductor 6 can be performed simultaneously with the assembly of the integration panel 1.

In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the integration panel has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the integration panel, but can be applied to a panel in which flat conductors are routed in a factory. is there. Also, the shape of the flat conductor fixing portion is not particularly limited, and the flat conductor fixing portion 3 has a shape that covers only a part of the flat conductor 6 instead of the shape that covers the entire flat conductor 6 as shown in FIG. Is also good.

[0016]

As described above, the flat conductor wiring structure according to the present invention provides a flat conductor wiring configured to wire a flat conductor to a car by assembling a panel on which the flat conductor is arranged to the car. In the structure, the flat conductor is characterized by being fixed to a flat conductor fixing portion formed integrally with the panel,
Since the flat conductor can be easily fixed to the panel and a separate fixing member is not required, the number of parts does not increase.
