Abstract
In a method of producing different wiring harnesses, a subassembly (1x) of the harness that is common to all harnesses is formed using a bridging connector rather than a splice. The wires forming the subassembly are laid out using an automatic wiring machine, and portions of the wires are secured with tape (40) so that the bundle of wires is not loosened. Consequently, the subassemblies are easily united because the bundle is kept secure by the taping. In addition, the number of types of subassemblies can be decreased, and the number of wires in a subassembly can be increased. The subassemblies are easily produced using the automatic wiring machine because they have no splices. <IMAGE>
Description
DESCRIPTION
METHOD OF PRODUCING WIRING HARNESSES
The present invention relates generally to a method of producing wiring harnesses, and more particularly, to a method of producing wiring harnesses by sharing in which circuits concerning a common function and a common electrical equipment are constituted by a shared circuit in producing a plurality of types of wiring harnesses.
It is known that a wiring harness incorporated in an automobile or a copying machine is an electrical wiring system comprising a lot of electric wires, terminals connectors and the like. Since the wiring harness includes a lot of circuits, it is not easy to assemble a finished product at a time. Therefore, producing steps of dividing a wiring harness into a plurality of subassembly units to make subassembly circuits and then, uniting together the subassembly circuits to obtain a finished product have been conventionally adopted.
Therefore, it has been desired to realize the production by sharing of the wiring harness by constructing some of the subassembly circuits as sharable circuits.
However, the conventional design of subassembly circuits by division has been made under the following conditions:
(1) A circuit having a splice cannot be divided into different subassembly circuits.
(2) Subassembly circuits are so designed in a branched manner utilizing as a starting point a basic connector in which electric wires are concentrated that they are in such a shape as to be easily united together, not to be tangled and to be easily separated from each other, as illustrated in, for example, Fig.
12.
Therefore, a circuit concerning another function and another electrical equipment may be connected or may not be connected to a circuit concerning the same function and the same electrical equipment by a splice for each wiring harness, thereby to make it very difficult to make sharable subassembly circuits.
On the other hand, the prior art concerning a versatile wiring harness is disclosed in Japanese
Patent Laid-Open Gazette No. 283708/1989.
The wiring harness described in this official gazette is so constructed that the wiring harness is divided into a master portion and a branch portion and both the master portion and the branch portion are connected to each other by a connector. The master portion shall be sharable irrespective of the grades of vehicles, and a plurality of types of branch portions are made so as to correspond to the grades of vehicles. The master portion and the branch portion corresponding to the grade of a vehicle are connected to each other by a connector, thereby to complete a wiring harness.
However, in the wiring harness described in this official gazette, the shared master portion must be correspond to a vehicle of the highest grade. The reason for this is that the master portion to which any one of the plurality of types of branch portions is selectively connected must comprise, when the branch portion of the most complicated construction (the branch portion comprising the largest number of connectors) is connected, a circuit for transmitting a signal inputted from each of the connectors in the branch portion or a circuit for transmitting a signal outputted to each of the connectors in the branch portion.
Therefore, the versatile wiring harness described in the official gazette is a wiring harness including a lot of useless circuits in a master portion in cases other than a case where it is applied to a vehicle of the highest grade, so that electric wires forming the circuits are useless and the weight of the wiring harness is increased, which is unfavourable.
A primary object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing a shared subassembly circuit which can be shared among wiring harnesses given a plurality of product numbers and producing the wiring harnesses given a plurality of product numbers using the shared subassembly circuit.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of producing wiring harnesses comprising the steps of:
(a) extracting as a subassembly circuit a constituent element which is common to wiring harnesses given a plurality of product numbers which are objects to be produced;
(b) designing the shared subassembly circuit extracted for a spliceless circuit using branch connecting means;
(c) forming the designed shared subassembly circuit; and
(d) securing together predetermined portions of the formed shared subassembly circuit so that the shared subassembly circuit is not loosened.
In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of producing a shared subassembly circuit, comprising the steps of
laying out a plurality of electric wires each having a predetermined length in a predetermined configuration so that the electric wires to be connected are concentrated in one portion;
stripping insulative sheaths at ends of the electric wires laid out, press-connecting terminals to the exposed electric wires at the ends, and inserting the terminals into connector housings, respectively;
connecting the electric wires to be connected which are concentrated in one portion using branch connecting means; and
securing predetermined portions of a bundle of electric wires laid out so that the bundle of electric wires is not loosened.
In the present invention, a constituent element which is common to wiring harnesses given a plurality of product numbers is extracted as a shared subassembly circuit. The shared subassembly circuit extracted is designed for a spliceless circuit using a branch connector (e.g. a junction block, a joint connector or the like) and using no splice. If circuits are all coupled to one another by a branch connector because the circuits have no splices, this shared temporary subassembly and the other subassembly circuit are coupled to each other by the branch connector used in the shared subassembly circuit.
Consequently, the shared subassembly circuit is made versatile.
Furthermore, predetermined portions of a bundle of electric wires laid out so as to form the shared subassembly circuit are secured, e.g. with tape, so that the bundle of electric wires is not loosened.
Accordingly, the shared subassembly circuit is in such a shape as not to be loosened and tangled.
Consequently, subassembly circuits thus produced are easily united together.

Some terms used in this specification will be defined as follows:
(1) splice
As illustrated in a diagram showing an image of Fig.
lA, a splice means, for example, a connecting portion in which a core wire exposed by stripping an insulative sheath in a halfway portion of an electric wire 1 and a core wire exposed by stripping an insulative sheath at one end of an electric wire 2, which are overlapped with each other, and a joint terminal 3 are pressed together in crimp contact with one another or a connecting portion of electric wires which is similar thereto.The "similar" connecting portion means, for example, a connecting portion in which core wires exposed by stripping insulative sheaths in halfway portions of two electric wires and a joint terminal are pressed together in crimp contact with one another, or a connecting portion in which core wires exposed by stripping insulative sheaths at ends of three electric wires and a joint terminal are pressed together in crimp contact with one another.
In the specification, a joint terminal means a part which connects wires for making a splice.
(2) Junction block
As illustrated in a diagram showing an image of Fig.
lC, a junction block means a member having housings 8,9 and 10 in which respective one ends of a plurality of electric wires are inserted, and a connection box 11 to which the housings 8, 9 and 10 are attached. The connection box 11 comprises a bus bar 12 for short-circuiting a plurality of circuits, and a circuit including function elements such as a fuse, a relay and the like as required. The use of this junction block allows a plurality of electric wires 5,6 and 7 to be connected to one another in a desirable state.
(3) Joint connector
As illustrated in Fig. lD, a joint connector means a press-connecting member 13 for simply short-circuiting respective ends of electric wires 5, 6 and 7 or a member similar thereto.
Furthermore, the joint connector also includes, for example, a press-connecting joint connector 4 for electrically and mechanically connecting portions to be connected of electric wires 1 and 2 without stripping insulative sheaths of the electric wires, as illustrated in a diagram showing an image of Fig. lB.
In the specification, as the comprehensive concept of the junction block, the joint connector and the like, a term "branch connector" is used.
Description is now made of the specific embodiment of the present invention in comparison with the prior art.
As a plurality of wiring harnesses to be produced, there shall be two types of wiring harnesses for an automobile given a product number A and a product number B.
The product number is a representation of the name of a component of an automobile and its area, and the type, the grade, the contents of the design changes of the automobile by ten-odd figures. The product number is used so as to specify the type of wiring harness.
The wiring harness given the product number A and the wiring harness given the product number B differ from each other in construction. Specifically, the wiring harness given the product number A includes no circuit of a connector for a compact disc player (CD), while the wiring harness given the product number B includes a circuit of a connector for a CD.
Figs. 2 and 3 respectively show a wiring harness given a product number A and a wiring harness given a product number B which are produced by the prior art.
The wiring harness given the product number A is constituted by a single subassembly circuit la having circuits connected to each other by a plurality of splices 20, as illustrated in Fig. 2.
The wiring harness given the product number B is so constructed that a circuit of a connector for a CD 21 is added to the wiring harness given the product number A by a splice 20, as illustrated in Fig. 3. This wiring harness given the product number B is constructed by uniting together a subassembly circuit ib shown in Fig. 4 and a subassembly circuit 2b shown in Fig. 5. In designing the wiring harness given the product number B by dividing the wiring harness into the subassembly circuit ib shown in Fig. 4 and the subassembly circuit 2b shown in Fig. 5, circuits connected to one another by the splices 20 are all included in the subassembly circuit lb shown in Fig. 4, while circuits having no splices 20 are included in the subassembly circuit 2b shown in Fig, 5.
As a result, in order to produce the two types of wiring harnesses given the product number A and the product number B, three types of subassembly circuits, that is, the subassembly circuit la (this subassembly circuit alone constitutes the wiring harness given the product number A in the prior art), the subassembly circuit ib, and the subassembly circuit 2b must be made.
Although the wiring harness given the product number B thus differs from the wiring harness given the product number A only in that it has the circuit of the connector for a CD 21, it is impossible to make the wiring harness given the product number B by making the circuit of the connector for a CD 21 and uniting the circuit with the wiring harness given the product number A shown in Fig. 2, that is, the subassembly circuit la in the prior art.
On the other hand, in the present invention, the sharing of a subassembly circuit is realized, as described below.
Figs. 6 and 7 are diagrams respectively showing a wiring harness given a product number A and a wiring harness given a product number B which are produced on the basis of one embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in
Figs. 6 and 7, the wiring harness according to the present embodiment is a spliceless circuit using a junctionblock 30.
Furthermore, the wiring harness given the product number A shown in Fig. 6 is constituted by a single subassembly circuit lx, and the wiring harness given a product number B shown in Fig. 7 is constructed by uniting together a subassembly circuit lx shown in Fig. 8 and a subassembly circuit 2x shown in Fig. 9.
Although in the present embodiment, the wiring harness given the product number A and the wiring harness given the product number B are treated as finished products for convenience of illustration, the wiring harnesses given the product number A and the product number B may be respectively subassembly circuits, which are united with the other subassembly circuits.
As apparent from comparison between the wiring harness given the product number A shown in Fig. 6 and the subassembly
circuit lx shown in Fig. 8, both are exactly the same circuit. In producing the wiring harnesses given the product number A and the product number B on the basis of the present embodiment, therefore, the two types of subassemlby circuits lx and 2x shown in Figs. 8 and 9 may be made. Specifically, the subassembly circuit lx shown in Fig. 8 is a subassembly circuit which can be shared between the wiring harness given the product number A and the wiring harness given the product number B.
Furthermore, another feature of the present invention is that predetermined portions of a bundle of electric wires laid out which form the subassembly circuit lx are secured with tape 40 so that the bundle of electric wires is not loosened. Similarly, predetermined portions of a bundle of electric wires laid out which form the subassembly circuit 2x shown in Fig. 9 are secured with tape 40 so that the bundle of electric wires is not loosened. This produces such an effect that the subassembly circuit lx shown in Fig. 8 and the subassembly circuit 2x shown in Fig.
9 can be smoothly united together in making the wiring harness given the product number B.
Additionally, this produces such an effect that even in a case where the subassembly circuit lx shown in Fig.
8 is the wiring harness given the product number A, the wiring harness given the product number A is kept in shape, to be easily treated.
The effects of taping will be described more concretely with reference to the drawings. The wiring harness given the product number A (that is, the subassembly circuit lx) which is produced in the present embodiment is in the shape shown in Fig. 10 as a product. As illustrated in Fig.
10, a bundle of electric wires forming the subassembly circuit lx is secured with tape 40 for each predetermined unit, so that the bundle of electric wires is not loosened.
On the other hand, if a bundle of electric wires forming the subassembly circuit lx is not secured with tape, the bundle of electric wires is liable to be loosened as illustrated in Fig. 11.
Still another feature of the present embodiment is that electric wires are laid out using an automatic wire laying out machine in the shared subassembly circuit ix shown in Fig. 8 and the subassembly circuit 2x shown in Fig.
9. Since both the subassembly circuit lx shown in
Fig. 8 and the subassembly circuit 2x shown in Fig. 9 are spliceless circuits, they are suited to laying out of the electric wires using the automatic wire laying out machine.
In addition, work for securing predetermined portions of the bundle of electric wires laid out with tape 40 may be preferably performed mechanically using an automatic taping device immediately after the electric wires are laid out.
If the bundle of electric wires is thus secured with tape immediately after the electric wires are laid out using the automatic wire laying out machine, the taping work is performed easily and in a short time. Specifically, a combination of work of laying out electric wires using an automatic wire laying out machine and work of securing a bundle of electric wires with tape improves the production efficiency as a whole. It is the combination that is significant.
Meanwhile, the taping work may be manually performed using a so-called handy type taping machine.
The comparison between the above described prior art and one embodiment of the present invention is shown in
Table 1:
(Table l]
classification prior art embodiment subassembly product la ib 2b lx 2x number A 0 0 B 0000 As shown in Table 1, in the prior art, there exists no subassembly circuit which can be shared between the two wiring harnesses given the product number A and the product number B, so that a total of three types of subassembly circuits la, ib and 2b must be produced so as to produce the wiring harnesses given the product number
A and the product number B.
On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, a subassembly circuit lx can be shared between the wiring harnesses given the product number A and the product number B. Accordingly, it is possible to produce the wiring harnesses having the product number A and the product number
B by producing a total of two types of subassembly circuits Ix and 2x.
Although description was made by taking as an example the wiring harnesses given the product number A and the product number B which are relatively simple, the actual wiring harness has a more complicated circuit arrangement than the above described one, so that the present invention has a great advantage.
For example, if a method of producing by sharing respective wiring harnesses, for example, a wiring harness given a product number A which is constituted by three subassembly circuits, and wiring harnesses given product numbers B and C which are constituted by four subassembly circuits is taken as an example, the division of the wiring harnesses into subassembly circuits in the prior art is shown in the following table 2, and the division of the wiring harnesses into subassembly circuits based on the present invention is as shown in Table 3.
Table 2]
subassembly product - la 2a 3a ib 2b 3b 4 Ic 2c 3c 5 number A 0 0 O ~ ~ L B 0 0000 V V C 000~n Cable 3]
subassembly product \ lx 2x 3x 4 5 number A O O 0 O 000 B 0000 C 000 0 As apparent from comparison between Table 2 and Table 3, in the conventional method of dividing the wiring harnesses into subassembly circuits, subassembly circuits la, ib and lc cannot be shared among the wiring harnesses, subassembly circuits 2a, 2b and 2c cannot be shared among the wiring harnesses, and subassembly circuits 3a, 3b and 3c cannot be shared among the wiring harnesses. In order to produce the wiring harnesses given the product numbers A, B and C, therefore, a total of 11 types of subassembly circuits must be made.
On the other hand, according to the present invention, subassembly circuits lx, 2x and 3x are shared among the wiring harnesses given the product numbers A, B and C, so that a total of five types of subassembly circuits may be made.
According to the present invention, a shared subassembly
circuit which can be shared among wiring harnesses given a plurality of product numbers in a certain area is constructed as a spliceless circuit using a branch connector. Accordingly, the number of types of subassembly
circuits is rapidly decreased, and the number of lots in a shared portion is increased. In addition, the shared subassembly circuits can be easily made using an automatic wire laying out machine because they have no splices. Furthermore, a bundle of electric wires is secured e.g. with tape, so as not to be loosened, thereby to make it possible to increase the production efficiency of a method of producing wiring harnesses by sharing.
Although the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the spirit and scope of the present invention being limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
