Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for a kind of harness arranging-purpose (wire harness), and a kind of wiring harness arrange fixture, wherein the electric wire group of the predetermined portions of wiring harness is formed by many wiring harnesses together, it is unclamped and arranges in order to be coated with waterproofing agent.More particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of electric wire keeper that is used for harness arranging-purpose, and a kind of wiring harness aligning method, said apparatus and method are applicable to many electric wires (for example auto harness designing) are arranged in a row, then, waterproofing agent be coated onto on the electric wire, fill gaps between electric wires, so that part of water-proofing treatment that provides of wiring harness is provided, and the described that part of grommet (grommet) that is used to pass, described grommet is assemblied on the body panels element of vehicle.
Background technology
In order to make wiring harness stride across panel element on the automobile, generally wiring harness is passed the through wires hole (harness-passing hole) in the grommet, then, described grommet is assembled on the panel element.At this moment, invade from the outside for anti-sealing, waterproofing agent is applied to that part of of wiring harness, described part will be passed the through wires hole of grommet, fill gaps between electric wires thus.
Also the someone advises adopting such method for waterproofing, has obtained traditional wiring harness waterproof construction, shown in Figure 19 A to 19C.
As shown in the figure, wiring harness W is used in the automobile circuit, when one group of electric wire will form the arrangement form consistent with arrangement form on the vehicle, carry out water-proofing treatment will for those parts of electric wire, described those parts will be passed grommet 3, described grommet is assemblied in the through hole, and described through hole is formed on the vehicle panel element of automobile.
More particularly, at first grommet 3 to be assemblied in the predetermined portions of the wiring harness W shown in Figure 19 A, then, to be in non-solid-state waterproofing agent 6 is filled in the gap, predetermined period between through wires hole 3a inner surface and the electric wire group 4, shown in Figure 19 B, is passed through again in described gap in grommet 3, to solidify waterproofing agent, thus, provide a waterproof construction, wherein, the waterproofing agent 6 that is cured in the gap between electric wire group 4 and grommet 3 is filled, shown in Figure 19 C.
Yet, in such wiring harness production method, pass in the electric wire group between any two adjacent wire 4 of grommet portion, remain with a very little gap, therefore, what allow the people worries is, because there is capillarity in these very little gaps, so extraneous rainwater can be invaded along electric wire 4, so caused a problem, promptly can not obtain enough waterproof effects.
In other words, in described method for waterproofing, by the grommet 3 that is assemblied on the wiring harness 1, pour into waterproofing agent 6, therefore, waterproofing agent 6 can not fully be penetrated in the grommet 3 in the gap or space between the electric wire in the through wires hole 3b 4, can not fully be penetrated in the gap between electric wire group 4 and the through wires hole 3b inner surface, can not fully be penetrated in a large amount of very little gaps that are retained in the waterproofing agent 6 that has solidified.In addition, must use the very low waterproofing agent 6 of viscosity, so that waterproofing agent 6 can fully be penetrated in these gaps.Yet bad if the viscosity of the waterproofing agent of selecting for use is selected, so, waterproofing agent 6 will flow down from through wires hole 3b, thereby forms similar gap.
Therefore, for gap between the sealed wire 4 or space, the production method shown in Figure 20-21F is adopted in suggestion.
As shown in the figure, a kind of wiring harness production method is disclosed in JP-A-10-224960, wherein, on installation plate 11, assembled in advance many electric wire group gripping clamping apparatus 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e... and an arrange fixture 13, described gripping clamping apparatus is used for supporting being in the electric wire group of the wiring harness W of branch's form, it is consistent with the predetermined arrangement form, arrange fixture is used for being coated with waterproofing agent based on the purpose of waterproof, installation plate is used for the electric wire group of wiring harness W is arranged to the predetermined arrangement form, and this is consistent with the arrangement form on the vehicle.
Arrange fixture 13 is made up of a basic part 13a and a pair of electric wire keeper 14, and basic part fixedly is assemblied on the installation plate 11, and described keeper fixedly is assemblied on the basic part 13a, and is spaced apart at a predetermined distance from each other.
Each electric wire keeper 14 all has a wire insertion slot 14a, and described groove has an openend, and is formed by a pair of relative arm 14b and 14c.
The determining of the width of insertion groove 14a depends on, be convenient to vertically arrange one by one these parts of electric wire, and this part forms the ring portion of reeving of wiring harness.
This is consistent with the wire length of those part electric wires of wiring harness W to the distance between the electric wire keeper 14, and described part will be bundled in together, forms a waterproof construction.
The waterproof construction of the ring portion of reeving of wiring harness is to utilize arrange fixture 13 to form, and process is consistent with the process shown in the accompanying drawing 21A to 21F.
That is to say, at first the ring portion electric wire of reeving of wiring harness W is inserted into one by one among each groove 14a in two electric wire keepers 14 and 14, and the ring portion of reeving of electric wire group 16 vertically in one plane is arranged in a row, shown in Figure 21 A.Then, by the nozzle 18 that is coated with waterproofing agent, the waterproofing agent that will be in non-solid state is applied on that part of surface of arranging good electric wire group 16, and described part is between this is to groove 14a, shown in Figure 21 B.At this moment, waterproofing agent 19 is penetrated in the gap between any two adjacent wire.In general, use moisture-curable silicones RTV as waterproofing agent 19.
Then, the band shape film 21 that is used for tying electric wire group 16 is attached to a surface of electric wire group 16, described surface scribbles waterproofing agent 19, these electric wires are interconnected, this moment, these electric wires were arranged in a row, and afterwards, the anchor clamps of arranging 13 were moved down, thus electric wire group 16 is removed from arrange fixture 13, shown in Figure 21 C.
Then, will be with shape film 21 to roll tightly, and make it that electric wire group 16 is tied the wiring harness that becomes to have circular cross section, shown in Figure 21 D.Furtherly, be wound on that part of of electric wire bundle by belt 23 again, that part of by what be with shape film 21 to tie exactly, thus wiring harness is formed such circular cross sectional shape and size, so that wiring harness can just in time be assembled to the threading portion of grommet, shown in Figure 21 E, and waterproofing agent is cured., grommet 25 be assemblied in wiring harness that part of above, twining belt 23 on the described part, shown in Figure 21 F thereafter.
