Figs. 1A and 1B are diagrams showing electric wires according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.Fig. 1A shows a later fitting circuit andFig. 1B shows a previous fitting circuit. - The
electric wire 1 shown inFig. 1A indicates a laterfitting circuit 10. The laterfitting circuit 10 is theelectric wire 1 to be attached by a manual operation of an operator for forming a wire harness. Such a laterfitting circuit 10 has a structure that a core wire as an electric conductor part is covered with an insulatingcover part 11. - Further, connection destination circuit information C indicating a connection destination of the
electric wire 1 is formed on the laterfitting circuit 10 at equal intervals. Thecover part 11 is white, black or original color of its cover resin (refer it to as original color, hereinafter). The connection destination circuit information C is expressed by symbols or a printing to the white, black or original colorelectric wire 1. Further, to an end part of the laterfitting circuit 10, a terminal 12 is connected. The terminal 12 is electrically conducted to the core wire exposed by removing off thecover part 11 of the laterfitting circuit 10 and connected to a prescribed connector. On the connector, information (for instance, color or cavity number) corresponding to the connection destination circuit information C is formed. The operator may refer to the connection destination circuit information C and the information of the connector and recognize that both the information corresponds to each other. - Further, on the later
fitting circuit 10, later fitting circuit information A indicating the later fitting circuit is formed between the connection destination circuit information C. Since the later fitting circuit information A is formed on the electric wire, the operator can recognize that theelectric wire 1 is the laterfitting circuit 10. - An

electric wire 2 is formed on the previousfitting circuit 20 at equal intervals. Thecover part 21 of the previousfitting circuit 20 is also white, black or original color. The connection destination circuit information C of the previousfitting circuit 20 is expressed by symbols or a printing to the white, black or original colorelectric wire 2 similarly to the laterfitting circuit 10. Further, to an end part of the previousfitting circuit 20, a terminal 22 is connected. The terminal 22 is electrically conducted to the core wire exposed by peeling off thecover part 21 of the previousfitting circuit 20 and connected to a prescribed connector. On the connector, information (for instance, color or cavity number) corresponding to the connection destination circuit information C is formed. Thus, the machine reads the connection destination circuit information C of the electric wire and the information of the connector so that the terminal 22 is connected to the connector so as to allow both the information to correspond to each other. - Further, to the previous
fitting circuit 20, color is not formed between the connection destination circuit information C as in the laterfitting circuit 10. Since the previousfitting circuit 20 does not need to be attached by the manual operation of the operator and is attached by the machine which decides the connection destination circuit information C, the color is not formed between the connection destination circuit information C on the electric wire.

As compared therewith, as shown inFig. 2A , on a previousfitting circuit 20 according to the first modified example, connection destination circuit information C1 expressed only by one symbol "-" is formed. Further, in the second modified example, as shown inFig. 2B , connection destination circuit information C2 expressed only by one symbol "/" is formed. Further, in the third modified example, as shown inFig. 2C , connection destination circuit information C3 expressed by two symbols "/" and "-" respectively is formed. - In the modified examples shown in
Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B , either the one symbol "/" or the one symbol "-" is formed on the circuit.

However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto and three or more symbols may be formed on the circuit. - Further, as shown in
Fig. 2D , in connection destination circuit information C4, an entire part of anelectric wire 2 may be colored by one color (for instance, white color). In such a way, the connection destination circuit information C is not limited to an example that the connection destination circuit information is expressed by symbols. The connection destination circuit information C may be expressed by an entire part which is colored. The connection destination circuit information C4 is not limited to the expression of the entire part colored, and may be expressed by a part colored. - Further, the connection destination circuit information C may be a form of printing a character, may be applied by the number or combination of print points or may be applied by dots.

Fig. 3A , a combination of two symbols "-" with the first color E1, two symbols "-" with the second color E2 and two symbols "-" with the third color E3. - Further, later fitting circuit information A2 of the second modified example is expressed by, as shown in
Fig. 3B , two symbols "-" with the third color E3. Further, later fitting circuit information A3 of the third modified example is expressed by, as shown inFig. 3C , two symbols "-" with the second color E2. - As described above, the later fitting circuit information A is not limited to the example shown in
Fig. 1A and may be variously changed. Namely, as shown inFig. 3D , later fitting circuit information A4 may be expressed by combining the example shown inFig. 3B with the example shown inFig. 3C . Further, the later fitting circuit information may be expressed by adding the first color E1 or by a combination having only the first color E1 or including the first color E1. - Further, as shown in
Fig. 3E , later fitting circuit information A5 may be expressed to be colorless if possible. Thus, a quantity of use of ink is more reduced. -
Figs. 1A and 1B are referred to again. Further, in the present exemplary embodiment, the later fitting circuit information A is colored by ink which is lower than the connection destination circuit information C in respect of at least one of an adhesive property, a weather resistance, a heat resistance and a chemical resistance. The above-described work is done because the later fitting circuit information A may be kept colored until an afterward fitting stage by the operator and there is no problem even when the later fitting circuit information A disappears after the wire harness is completed. Thus, the later fitting circuit information A is colored by inexpensive ink, so that the production cost can be suppressed - Now, a manufacturing method of the wire harness according to the present exemplary embodiment will be described below.
Fig. 4 is a process diagram showing the manufacturing method of the wire harness according to the present exemplary embodiment. As shown inFig. 4 , initially, when an order of the wire harness is received (S1), electric wire quantity data necessary for manufacturing the wire harness is sent to an electric wire factory (S2). - In the electric wire factory, electric wire data of the original color to the cover resin is generated (S3). In accordance with the electric wire data, the original color
electric wires electric wires electric wires - When the order of the wire harness is received (S1), wire harness manufacture quantity data indicating quantity of the wire harnesses to be manufactured is transmitted to the wire harness factory (S6).
- In the wire harness factory, cutting data and coloring data are generated in accordance with the wire harness manufacture quantity data (S7). Here, the cutting data indicates data indicating to what meters and to what numbers the continuously supplied
electric wires - Then, in a coloring device, the electric wires are colored. At this time, the connection destination circuit information C indicating the connection destinations of the
electric wires electric wires - Then, the cutting data is transmitted to a cutting device from the coloring device (S8). Thus, the
electric wires electric wire 2 forming the previousfitting circuit 20 of the cutelectric wires - Further, on the
electric wire 1 of the cutelectric wires fitting circuit 10, the later fitting circuit information A is formed at all parts or a part between the connection destination circuit information C formed at equal intervals (S10). Since this process is not applied to the previousfitting circuit 20, the previous fitting circuit information is not formed on the previousfitting circuit 20. In addition, in this process, the later fitting circuit information A is colored by the ink which is lower than the connection destination circuit information C in respect of at least one of the adhesive property, the weather resistance, the heat resistance and the chemical resistance. Then, the laterfitting circuit 10 is supplied to the wire harness assembling part (S11). - In the wire harness assembling part, the various kinds of cut
electric wires 1 and 2 (the laterfitting circuit 10 and the previous fitting circuit 20) are assembled to form the wire harness. Namely, the previousfitting circuit 20 is attached by the machine and the laterfitting circuit 10 is attached by recognizing the later fitting circuit information A and the connection destination circuit information C by the operator. - As described above, in the
electric wire 1 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the connection destination circuit information C indicating the connection destination is formed on thecover part 11 at equal intervals. Accordingly, even when the terminal is burnt or the electric wire is cut, if the connection destination circuit information C is formed on an intermediate part of the electric wire, the connection destination circuit information C can be read, which is different from a case that the connection destination circuit information is formed on an end part of the electric wire. - Further, since the later fitting circuit information A indicating the later
fitting circuit 10 is colored by the ink which is lower than the connection destination circuit information C in respect of at least one of the adhesive property, the weather resistance, the heat resistance and the chemical resistance, the later fitting circuit information is colored by the inexpensive ink. Thus, the production cost can be suppressed. - Accordingly, the production cost can be suppressed and a situation can be prevented that the connection destination circuit information C cannot be read.
- Further, in the wire harness according to the present exemplary embodiment, since the previous
fitting circuit 20 is provided in which the previous fitting circuit information indicating the previous fitting circuit is not formed between the connection destination circuit information C which are formed at equal intervals, the quantity of use of the ink can be the more reduced and the production cost can be the more suppressed due to an absence of the previous fitting circuit information. - Further, in the usual electric wire, the connection circuit information C is not formed and pigment is mixed in an insulator of the electric wire to change color so that a cavity to be inserted may be decided. Accordingly, the electric wires of many colors are necessary. However, in the later
fitting circuit 10, the previousfitting circuit 20 and the wire harness formed by assembling them according to the present exemplary embodiment, since the connection destination circuit information C is formed by the symbols, the number of colors of the electric wire can be reduced without deteriorating an identification property. - As described above, the present disclosure is explained in accordance with the exemplary embodiment. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto and may be changed within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present disclosure.
- For instance, the connection destination circuit information C and the later fitting circuit information A are not limited to the forms shown in the drawings and other forms or patterns may be used.
- Further, in the above-described exemplary embodiment, the
cover parts cover parts cover parts - The present application is based on
Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-233595 filed on October 25, 2011 - By the above electric wire, the production cost can be suppressed and a situation can be prevented that the connection destination circuit information C cannot be read.
