DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric wire arranging member, and more particularly to an electric wire arranging member. The present invention relates to an improvement in an electric wire routing member formed with the above conductor circuit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 14 shows a conventional example of a wire routing member. The support base material 2 having a desired shape in the electric wire routing member 1 shown here includes a plurality of wire press-fit ribs 3 protruding at appropriate intervals along a wiring path of the electric wire on the support base material 2. It is formed integrally with an insulating resin or the like. The wire press-fitting rib 3 has a configuration in which a straight wire holding groove 3a capable of pushing a wire is formed by a pair of opposed walls 3b, 3b. As shown in FIG. The corner 3b of the wire holding groove 3a is usually provided with a chamfer C so that the wire can be pushed easily.

As shown in FIG. 17, such an electric wire routing member 1 causes an electric wire 5 to be held in an electric wire holding groove 3a of each electric wire press-fitting rib 3 in accordance with an arrangement order along an electric wiring route. Thereby, the conductor circuit 6 passing through the plurality of wire press-in ribs 3 in order is formed. The conductor circuit 6 formed as described above may be, for example, a conductor circuit for supplying power to a light bulb in a vehicle combination lamp, or a vehicle circuit, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-275117. Is used as a conductor circuit for connecting to a bus bar or the like in the electric junction box.

[0004] By the way, automation for saving power is widely used for vehicle parts, and the work of arranging the electric wire 5 on the electric wire arranging member 1 also uses the electric wire laying machine 7 as shown in FIG. Automation is being pursued. As shown in FIG. 16A, the electric wire laying machine 7 shown here includes a wiring head 7a for automatically sending out the electric wire 5 from the distal end of the sending pipe, and a wiring laying member for connecting the wiring head 7a. 1, a head moving mechanism (not shown) for moving the head in an arbitrary direction, and a press-fitting blade 7b provided at a position behind the wiring head 7a so as to be vertically movable and capable of entering the wire holding groove 3a. It is. Then, after the electric wire 5 is put on the electric wire holding groove 3a by the moving operation of the wiring head 7a, as shown in FIG. 16B, the electric wire 5 is held by the press-fitting blade 7b. By pushing the wire 5 into the wire 3a, the wire 5 is held in the wire holding groove 3a.

[0005]

As shown in FIG. 18, when the installation directions of the wire press-fitting ribs 31 and 32 adjacent to each other on the support base material 2 are different from each other, if the installation directions are different, the wiring ribs are located upstream of the wiring route. The wire outlet 3c of the wire holding groove 3a of the located wire pressing rib 31 is deviated from the extending direction L of the wire holding groove 3a of the wire pressing rib 32 downstream of the wiring route.

[0006] Between the wire press-fitting ribs 31 and 32 having different installation directions, the wire laying machine 7 is used to press-fit the downstream wire press-fitting rib 31 from the outlet 3c of the wire holding groove 3a to the downstream wire press-fitting rib 3a. When the electric wire 5 is guided to the outlet of the electric wire holding groove 3a of the rib 32, as shown in FIG. 19, the electric wire 5 may be in a state of obliquely crossing the upper end surface of the one opposing wall 3b.

As described above, the electric wire 5 obliquely crosses over the upper end surface of the one opposing wall 3b, and
If the chamfer C is not properly carried out, it is difficult to push the electric wire 5 by the press-fitting blade 7b, or an accident such as breakage of the electric wire 5 may be caused, which has been a major obstacle to automation of electric wiring. . In addition, in order to reliably route the wire between the wire press-fit ribs 31 and 32 having different installation directions, for example, the wire laying machine is provided with a mechanism for hammering the wire 5 in a form that matches a predetermined path in advance. However, such a measure would lead to a large-scale improvement in the electric wire laying machine, resulting in a significant cost increase.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and a plurality of wire press-fitting ribs arranged on a support base in the order of the routing route to hold the wires in the wire holding grooves so that the wires have a predetermined shape. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric wire routing member that can facilitate automation of the routing operation for forming the conductor circuit.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a support base, a plurality of wire press-in ribs projecting at appropriate intervals along a wire routing path on the support base, and A wire pressing member which is positioned on the upstream side on the wire routing path in a wire arranging member provided with an electric wire constituting a conductor circuit by being sequentially press-fitted and held in the wire holding groove of the electric wire pressing rib. In the portion of the wire press-out rib located on the downstream side where the wire outlet is deviated from the extending direction of the wire holding groove, the wire outlet is connected to the wire drawn out from the wire press-in rib on the upstream side to guide the wire. A direction changing means capable of changing the direction according to the extending direction of the wire holding groove of the downstream wire press-fitting rib is provided between the wire press-fitting ribs. Is done.

[0010] According to the above configuration, even between the wire press-fitting ribs having different installation directions on the supporting base material, the wire pressing groove of the wire press-fitting rib located on the upstream side of the wire routing path using the wire laying machine is used. By circumscribing the wire coming out of the wire outlet to the direction changing means, the guiding direction of the wire is changed in accordance with the extending direction of the wire holding groove of the downstream wire press-fitting rib, and the downstream wire press-fitting is performed. The direction of the electric wire introduced into the rib can be corrected to the direction of the electric wire holding groove of the electric wire press-fitting rib.

Therefore, even when wires are laid along various types of wire laying routes using a wire laying machine, the wires are obliquely placed on the upper end surface of the downstream wire press-fitting rib. There is no danger of crossing, and the wire can be securely pressed and held in the wire holding groove. Therefore, even if no special improvement is made to the conventional wire laying machine, the work of pushing the wires into the wire holding grooves of the respective wire press-fitting ribs between the wire press-fitting ribs having different installation directions can be easily and reliably performed, This makes it easy to automate the work of arranging electric wires, and reduces the cost of arranging electric wires.

Preferably, the direction changing means comprises a direction correcting rib provided with an electric wire insertion groove for inserting and holding the electric wire. In this case, similarly to the operation of press-fitting and holding the wire in the wire holding groove of the press-fitting rib, the wire drawn from the upstream wire press-fitting rib using the wire laying machine is inserted and held in the wire insertion groove of the direction correcting rib. By doing so, it is possible to change the direction of guiding the electric wire according to the extending direction of the electric wire holding groove of the electric wire press fitting rib on the downstream side, and it is possible to easily apply the conventional electric wiring machine.

Preferably, the direction changing means comprises an L-shaped direction correcting projection provided with a wire engaging portion extending along the surface of the support base. In this case, the wire drawn out from the upstream wire press-fitting rib is circumscribed to the wire engaging portion of the direction correcting projection, so that the guiding direction of the wire is extended in the wire holding groove of the downstream wire press-fitting rib. Therefore, a three-dimensional three-dimensional conductor circuit can be easily arranged on a supporting base material having a complicated surface shape.

Further, in this case, for example, by winding an electric wire around the direction correcting projection, the direction of guidance of the electric wire is changed, and at the same time, the movement of the electric wire already press-fitted into the upstream press-fitting rib is restricted. However, it is possible to prevent the wire press-fitted into the upstream wire press-fitting rib from dropping out of the wire holding groove due to tension or the like acting during the downstream routing work. Therefore, the direction correcting projections can prevent the routed wires from being loosened by the tension or the like acting during the routing work, and it is necessary to increase the wire press-in holding force of the wire press-fitting ribs more than necessary. Also, the operation of pushing the electric wire into the electric wire holding groove by the electric wire laying machine becomes easy.

[0015]

FIG. 2 is a plan view of a wire routing member showing a state where wires are routed on a supporting base material shown in FIG. 1.

An electric wire routing member 11 according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the support base 12 has a plurality of wire press-in ribs 31, 32, projecting at appropriate intervals along a wire routing path on the substantially flat support base 12.・ ・ ・ ・ ・
And the direction correcting ribs 13 arranged between the wire press-fitting ribs 31 and 32 which are arranged in the order in which the wires are routed and have different installation directions are integrally formed of an insulating resin or the like.

The wire press-fitting ribs 31 and 32 have the same structure as the wire press-fitting rib 3 shown in FIG. 15, and have a straight wire holding groove 3a into which the wire 5 can be pushed.
b, 3b, and the corners of the pair of opposing walls 3b, 3b on the side of the wire holding groove 3a are chamfered so that the wires can be pushed easily. As shown in FIG. 2, the installation directions of these wire press-in ribs 31 and 32 are shifted from each other by approximately 90 degrees, and therefore, the wire press-in ribs 3a of the wire press-in ribs 31 located on the upstream side of the wire routing path.
Of the wire press-fit rib 3 located on the downstream side
The second wire holding groove 3b is out of the extending direction L1. That is, the illustrated portion corresponds to the wire outlet 3 of the wire pinching groove 3a of the wire press-in rib 31 located on the upstream side on the wire routing route.
1c is a part of the electric wire routing member 11 that is deviated from the extending direction of the electric wire holding groove 3a of the electric wire press-fit rib 32 located on the downstream side.

The direction correcting rib 13 has a similar structure to the wire press-fitting ribs 31 and 32, and has a straight wire insertion groove 13a through which the wire 5 can be inserted.
b, 13b. However, since the electric wire insertion groove 13a does not need to hold the electric wire 5, the groove width is set wider than the electric wire holding groove 3a of the electric wire press-fit ribs 31,32.

The direction correcting rib 13 circumscribes the wire 5 drawn out from the upstream wire press-fitting rib 31 so as to change the guiding direction of the wire 5 to the wire holding groove 3a of the downstream wire press-fitting rib 32. Direction changing means capable of changing the direction in accordance with the extending direction of the wire, wherein the wire outlet 3c of the wire pinching groove 3a of the wire press-in rib 31 located on the upstream side on the wire routing path has the wire press-fitting located on the downstream side. The rib 32 protrudes from a portion of the rib 32 that is deviated from the extending direction of the wire holding groove 3a.

Therefore, the direction correcting rib 13 is moved from the wire holding groove 3a of the wire press-fitting rib 31 by matching the direction of the wire insertion groove 13a with the wire holding groove 3a of the upstream wire press-fitting rib 31. The wiring of the electric wire 5 into the groove 13a is facilitated. In addition, the direction correcting rib 13
As shown in FIG. 2, the position of the end face 13c of the opposing walls 13b, 13b located at the outlet of the wire insertion groove 13a is aligned with the extending direction L1 of the wire pinching groove 3a of the downstream wire press-fit rib 32. Then, the end face 13c circumscribes the electric wire 5 passing through the electric wire insertion groove 13a, and the guiding direction of the electric wire 5 is substantially perpendicular to the extending direction L1 of the electric wire holding groove 3a of the electric wire press-in rib 32 on the downstream side. Change direction.

Then, using the electric wire laying machine 17, the electric wire 5
The wire press fitting ribs 31, 32,
By successively inserting the electric wires 5 into the electric wire holding grooves 3a and the electric wire insertion grooves 13a of the direction correcting ribs 13, as shown in FIG.
The conductor circuits 16 sequentially passing through 32,...

As shown in FIG. 3, the electric wire laying machine 17 includes a wiring head 17a for automatically sending out the electric wire 5 from the distal end of the sending tube, and a wiring head 17a for connecting the electric wire 5 to the electric wire arranging member 11.
Head moving mechanism (not shown) for moving in any direction above
And a press-fitting blade 17b which is provided at the rear position of the wiring head 17a so as to be vertically movable and can enter the wire holding groove 3a and the wire insertion groove 13a.

After the electric wire 5 is put on the electric wire holding groove 3a by the moving operation of the wiring head 17a, the electric wire 5 is pushed into the electric wire holding groove 3a by the press-fitting blade 17b. As shown in FIG. 4, the electric wire 5 is held in the electric wire holding groove 3a. The conductor circuit 16 thus formed
Is used, for example, as a conductor circuit for supplying power to a light bulb in a combination lamp for a vehicle, or as a conductor circuit for connecting to a bus bar or the like in an electric junction box for a vehicle.

That is, according to the above-described electric wire routing member 11 of the present embodiment, the electric wire distribution machine 17 is used to arrange electric wires between the electric wire press-fit ribs 31 and 32 having different installation directions on the support base 12. The electric wire 5 coming out of the electric wire outlet 31c of the electric wire holding groove 3a of the electric wire press-fitting rib 31 located on the upstream side of the cable route is inserted into the electric wire insertion groove 13a of the direction correcting rib 13 so as to circumscribe the electric wire 5, Is changed in accordance with the extending direction L1 of the wire holding groove 3a of the downstream wire press-fitting rib 32, and the direction of the electric wire 5 introduced into the downstream wire press-fitting rib 32 is changed. In the direction of the wire holding groove 3a.

Therefore, even when the electric wire 5 is laid along the electric wire laying path of various forms using the electric wire laying machine 17, the electric wire 5 is connected to one of the downstream wire press fitting ribs 32 on the downstream side. There is no possibility that the wire 5 will cross the upper end surface of the opposing wall 3b obliquely, and the wire 5 can be securely pressed and held in the wire holding groove 3a. Therefore, even if the conventional wire laying machine 17 is not specially improved, the wire press-fit ribs 3 having different installation directions are provided.
The operation of pushing the electric wire 5 into the electric wire holding grooves 3a of the electric wire press-fit ribs 31 and 32 between the electric wire press-fitting ribs 31 and 32 can be easily and reliably performed, thereby facilitating the automation of the wiring operation of the electric wire 5 and the electric wire wiring. Cost can be reduced.

In addition, since the direction changing means in the electric wire routing member 11 according to the first embodiment comprises the direction correcting rib 13 having the electric wire insertion groove 13a for inserting and holding the electric wire 5, the electric wire 5 Press-fit ribs 31, 32, ...
The wire 5 pulled out from the wire press-in rib 31 on the upstream side by using the wire laying machine 17 is inserted into the wire insertion groove 1 of the direction correcting rib 13 in the same manner as the operation of press-fitting and holding the wire 5 in the wire holding groove 3a.
3a, the guiding direction of the wire 5 is changed to the extending direction L1 of the wire pinching groove 3a of the wire pressing rib 32 on the downstream side.
Can be changed in accordance with the above, and the conventional electric wire laying machine 17 can be easily applied.

The guide direction of the electric wire 5 is adjusted by circumscribing the electric wire 5 drawn out from the upstream electric wire press-in rib 31 so as to match the extending direction of the electric wire holding groove 3a of the downstream electric wire press-in rib 32. The changeable direction changing means according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the direction correcting rib 13 in the first embodiment. For example, like the support base 22 in the electric wire routing member 30 according to the second embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, a support 21 a vertically suspended on the surface of the support base 22, A wire engaging portion 21 extending along the surface of the support base 22 from the tip of the support portion 21a
The direction changing means can also be constituted by the L-shaped direction correcting projection 21 provided with b.

As shown in FIG. 6, the direction correcting projections 21 are formed by a wire press-in rib 33 located at the lower stage and a wire press-in rib 34 located at the upper stage at the stepped portion on the support base 22. It protrudes between them. The wire press-in ribs 33, 34 have basically the same configuration as the wire press-in ribs 31, 32 described above, and have the wire holding grooves 3a. These wire press-fitting ribs 33 and 34 are provided at different protruding steps, but the respective wire holding grooves 3 a are located on the same vertical plane standing on the surface of the support base material 22.

Further, the direction correcting projection 21 is provided on the surface of the support base 22 at the same level as the wire press-fitting rib 33 located on the upstream side of the wire routing path.
The formation position of b is set so as to regulate the electric wire 5 at a position lower than the upper end opening of the electric wire holding groove 3a in the electric wire press-fit rib 33.

The wiring of the wire 5 between the wire press-fitting ribs 33 and 34 is performed by first holding the wire 5 between the lower wire press-fitting ribs 33 on the upstream side of the wire-laying route, and then correcting the direction. After the electric wire 5 is locked by the electric wire engaging portion 21b of the projection 21, the electric wire 5 is clamped by the upper electric wire press-fitting rib 34. That is, the wiring head of the electric wire laying machine clamps the electric wire 5 between the electric wire press-fitting ribs 33 and moves around the direction correcting protrusion 21 as shown by the movement trajectory indicated by the one-dot chain line (a) in FIG. The electric wire 5 is sunk under the electric wire engaging portion 21b of the direction correcting projection 21 by performing a moving operation so as to make a detour. Next, the wiring head is moved to the downstream wire press-fitting rib 34 side so that the wire press-fitting rib 34 moves.
The electric wire 5 can be guided to the electric wire holding groove 3a.
The points (b) and (c) indicated by □ on the dashed line (a) in FIG. 7 are the press-fitting work positions by the press-fitting blades of the electric wire laying machine.

Therefore, the electric wire 5 pulled out from the upstream electric wire press-in rib 33 is connected to the electric wire engaging portion 2 of the direction correcting projection 21.
1b, the guide direction of the electric wire 5 can be changed upward in accordance with the extending direction of the electric wire holding groove 3a of the electric wire press-fitting rib 34 on the downstream side. The three-dimensional three-dimensional conductor circuit 16 can be easily routed to a part having a step.

The wire engaging portion 2 of the direction correcting projection 21
1b, the wire 5 sandwiched by the upstream wire press-in ribs 33 is restrained from moving upward, so that the wires 5 press-fitted and held in the wire press-in ribs 33 are arranged on the downstream side. The wire does not fall out of the wire holding groove 3a of the wire press-fitting rib 33 due to the tension or the like that sometimes acts, so that the reliability of the wire routing can be improved.

The supporting base material 42 of the electric wire routing member 40 according to the third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS.
The two wire press-fitting ribs 35, 36 are arranged on the surface of the support base 42 at substantially the same height, and the direction correcting projections 21 are formed with valleys 42a formed between the wire press-fitting ribs 35, 36.
It protrudes from the bottom surface. The wire press-fitting ribs 35,
36 has the same configuration as the above-described wire press-fitting ribs 33 and 34, and has the wire pinching grooves 3a located on the same straight line with each other.

The wiring of the electric wire 5 between the above-described electric wire press-in ribs 35 and 36 is performed by first holding the electric wire 5 by the upper electric wire press-in rib 35 on the upstream side of the electric wire arrangement route, After the electric wire 5 is locked to the direction correcting projection 21 protruding from the bottom surface of the wire 42a, the electric wire 5 is again clamped by the upper wire press-fitting rib 36. In other words, the wiring head of the electric wire laying machine clamps the electric wire 5 between the electric wire press-fitting ribs 35 as shown by the trajectory indicated by the dashed line (f) in FIG. The electric wire 5 is sunk under the electric wire engaging portion 21b of the direction correcting projection 21 by performing a moving operation so as to make a detour. Next, the wiring head can guide the electric wire 5 to the electric wire holding groove 3 a of the electric wire press-fit rib 36 by moving above the electric wire press-fit rib 36 on the downstream side. The points (g) and (h) indicated by □ on the one-dot chain line (f) in FIG. 7 are the press-fitting work positions by the press-fitting blade of the electric wire laying machine.

Accordingly, the electric wire 5 drawn out from the upper wire press-in rib 35 located on the upper side is wound around the electric wire engaging portion 21b of the direction correcting projection 21 protruding from the bottom surface of the valley portion 42a and externally connected thereto. Then, the wire holding groove 3a of the downstream wire press-fitting rib 36 located at the upper side in the guiding direction of the wire 5
The direction can be changed upward according to the extension direction of
The three-dimensional three-dimensional conductor circuit 16 can also be easily routed to the portion of the support base 42 having the valleys 42a.

The wire engaging portion 2 of the direction correcting projection 21
When the electric wire 5 routed along the bottom of the valley 42a is restrained from moving upward by being wrapped around the bottom 1b, the electric wire press-in rib is provided on the bottom of the valley 42a to press-fit and hold. As described above, the wires 5 do not fall out of the wire holding grooves due to the tension or the like acting during the wiring work on the downstream side located at the upper side, and the reliability of the wire routing can be improved.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
Is detoured to the valley portion 42a,
Wires 51 forming another circuit can be inserted into the empty space secured above the
Even when a bare wire is used, there is no risk that the wire 5 will fall out of the wire holding groove carelessly and cause a short circuit accident, and a more complicated three-dimensional conductor circuit can be arranged. In addition, the locking of the electric wire 5 in the direction correcting protrusion 21 is not limited to a form in which the electric wire 5 is simply wound around the support portion 21a and the electric wire engaging portion 21b, and as shown in FIG. It is also possible to adopt a form in which one or more turns are wound around the periphery.

As shown in FIG. 11, the support base 52 on which the wire press-fitting ribs 31, 32, 33 protrude is provided with a valley 5
2a, and both sides of the valley 52a are slopes 52b,
In the case where the lower ends of the slopes 52b, 52c are connected to the bottom of the valley 52a without a step, the direction correcting ribs 13 according to the present invention are connected to the wire press-fitting ribs 31, 32 as shown in the figure. , 33, and it is preferable to route the electric wire 5 around a place connected to the bottom of the valley 52a without any step.

That is, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the wire press-fitting rib 32 is protruded from the stepped valley portion 52a, and the wire press-fitting rib 32 is used to cross the valley portion 52a without detouring. When the electric wires 5 are routed as described above, tension in the direction in which the electric wires 5 are pulled out (upward) from the electric wire press-in ribs 32 protruding from the valleys 52a easily acts, and the electric wires from the electric wire holding grooves 3a of the electric wire press-in ribs 32 are easily applied. There is a risk of causing a problem such as dropping of the wire 5. In addition, the configuration of the support base material, the wire press-fitting ribs, the direction changing means, and the like in the wire routing member of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and various configurations may be made based on the gist of the present invention. It goes without saying that it can be taken.

[0040]

By circumscribing the wire coming out of the wire outlet of the wire holding groove of the press-fitting rib to the direction changing means, the direction of guidance of the wire is changed according to the extending direction of the wire holding groove of the downstream wire-pressing rib. The direction of the wire introduced into the downstream wire press-fitting rib can be corrected to the direction of the wire holding groove of the wire press-fitting rib.
