- In a vehicle such as a hybrid motor vehicle, plural types of electric wires, such as a power electric wire, through which a high voltage and large current flows, an electric wire of a weak current system and the like are arranged. At this point, for example, in the case that the power electric wire and the electric wire of the weak current system are inserted into a same pipe, it is necessary to insert them into the pipe after applying a shield, such as a braided wire, to the electric wire of the weak current system to prevent an influence of an electromagnetic noise generated by the power electric wire. Therefore, there is a problem that the number of the parts used is increased and it takes labor in processing.
- As a result of studying the problem, it was found that the above problem can be solved by dividing an inner portion of the pipe into two or more sections by a flat partition wall. However, there has been a problem that, when a bending processing is applied to from the pipe having the above structure into a shape which is suited to an arranged position, the partition wall serves as a beam and it is hard to deform the pipe to an intended shape.

- The present invention is a shield conducting path including a plurality of electric wires each of which is formed by enclosing an electric conductor with an insulation coating, and a metallic pipe which protects and shields the electric wires by inserting them therethrough. The shield conducting path has a tube main body which has a tubular shape and through which the electric wires are inserted, and a partition wall which is extended from an inner wall of the tube main body and partitions an inner portion of the tube main body. The partition wall has a cross section of a curved shape or a bent shape when cut in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the tube main body.
- In the present invention, since the inner portion of the tube main body of the pipe is partitioned by the partition wall, it is possible to insert the plural types of electric wires without applying any shield, and it does not take labor in processing.
- Further, in the present invention, since the cross section of the partition wall partitioning the tube main body is curved or bent, it is easily deformed. As a result, according to the present invention, it is possible to insert the plural types of electric wires, and it is also possible to provide a shield conducting path which can be easily processed into a desired shape.
- It is preferable that the present invention is structured as follows.
- When it is structured such that a clearance is provided between an insertion space which is enclosed by the inner wall of the tube main body and the partition wall and an outer peripheral surface of the insulation coating, the electric wire is not damaged when carrying out a bending processing on the shield conducting path.
- When it is structured such that the partition wall is formed line symmetrically or point symmetrically, or otherwise is configured by a plurality of partition parts which is of the same shape and extended from the inner wall of the tube main body to an axial center of the tube main body and are arranged in the inner wall of the tube main body so as to be spaced at even intervals, the partition wall is bent easily. Therefore, it becomes easier to process into the desired shape.

In the present embodiment, since theinner portion 81B of thecylinder portion 81 of the pipe is partitioned by thepartition wall 82, it is not necessary to apply any shield when inserting plural types ofelectric wires - When arranging the
shield conducting path 40 according to the present embodiment which is manufactured as mentioned above, it is deformed into a shape suited to the arranged position. In the present embodiment, since the cross sectional shape of thepartition wall 82 partitioning thecylinder portion 81 is formed in a curved shape, it is easily deformed. - Particularly, in the present embodiment, since the
clearances respective insertion spaces insulation coatings - As mentioned above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the
shield conducting path 40 which allows insertion of three types ofelectric wires - The present invention is not limited to the embodiments which are described by the above descriptions and the drawings. However, for example, the following embodiments are included in the technical scope of the present invention.
- (1) In the above embodiment, as the partition wall, there are shown the structure in which the cross sectional shape is curved and point symmetric, and the structure configured by a plurality of partition parts which is of the same shape and extended from the inner wall of the tube main body to the axial center of the tube main body and are arranged in the inner wall of the tube main body so as to be spaced at even intervals. However, the structure is not limited to this.
- The structure of the partition wall may be optional as long as the cross section has a curved shape or a bent shape. For example, the partition wall may have a bent cross section as shown in
FIG. 3 . It is to be noted that the shield conducting path shown inFIG. 3 has the same structure as the shield conducting path according to the first embodiment except that the cross sectional shape of the partition wall is the bent shape. - Further, the partition wall maybe formed line symmetrically, a partition wall having a circular arc shaped cross section may be formed at a position which does not uniformly divide the inner portion of the tube main body, or a plurality of partition walls may be arranged. Further, the partition wall may be formed by arranging a plurality of partition parts of the same shape at uneven intervals. Further, the partition wall maybe formed by arranging a plurality of partition parts having different shapes at either even or uneven intervals.
- (2) In the above embodiment, the plural types (two types or three types) of electric wires are inserted into the insertion spaces of the tube main body by type. However, a plurality of electric wires of the same type may be inserted separately into a plurality of separate insertion spaces.
- (3) The cross sectional shape of the pipe may be an approximate oval or an approximate polygon instead of a approximate circle.
- (4) The metal pipe may be formed by welding in addition to the structure which is integrally formed by extrusion molding.
- (5) A wire rod such as an optical fiber or the like may be additionally inserted into the pipe.
- (6) The cross section of the electric wire may be formed into a flat shape, an approximately oval shape, an approximately elliptic shape, an approximately rectangular shape and the like in addition to the approximately circular shape.
- (7) The diameter of the cross section of the inserted electric wire may be the same or about the same.
