<Embodiment 1>
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The electric wire holding structure according to the first embodiment exemplifies a structure for holding an electric wire 60 extending from a wheel speed sensor of an ABS (anti-lock brake system) equipped in an automobile, and includes an electric wire holder 10 and a bracket. 40.

  The bracket 40 is a metal plate material, and as shown in FIG. 1, a mounting groove 41 is formed at the upper end thereof. The wire holder 10 is inserted into the mounting groove 41 of the bracket 40 from above. A pair of locking portions 42 are formed to protrude inwardly on both side edges in the width direction on the opening side of the mounting groove 41. The groove width on the opening side of the mounting groove 41 is narrower than the back side by both locking portions 42.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the upper surfaces of both locking portions 42 are along the height direction (the depth direction of the mounting groove 41 and the insertion direction of the wire holder 10 into the mounting groove 41). The guide surface 43 is inclined with a gentle inclination angle. The electric wire holder 10 is inserted into the mounting groove 41 after sliding on the guide surface 43. Further, the lower surfaces of both locking portions 42 are locking surfaces 44 that are inclined with a gentle inclination angle with respect to the width direction so as to be along the width direction (direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the wire holder 10 into the mounting groove 41). It is said that. The electric wire holder 10 is configured to be prevented from being detached from the mounting groove 41 by abutting against the locking surface 44. The inclination angle of the locking surface 44 with respect to the width direction is smaller than the inclination angle of the guide surface 43 with respect to the height direction.

  The electric wire holder 10 is made of rubber, and as shown in FIG. 1, a circular electric wire insertion hole 11 is formed through the front and rear in a lower portion at a position off the center. The electric wire 60 is inserted into the electric wire insertion hole 11, and the inserted electric wire 60 is held by the electric wire holder 10 with its outer peripheral surface closely contacting the inner peripheral surface of the electric wire insertion hole 11. The upper surface of the electric wire holder 10 is a substantially horizontal flat surface 12, and a concave groove 13 having a substantially U-shaped cross section having both ends opened to the flat surface 12 is formed in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire holder 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the electric wire holder 10 has a flat block shape in which both front and rear surfaces are substantially flat, and is integrally connected to the insertion main body 14 and both front and rear sides sandwiching the insertion main body 14. Counter plate part 15. The concave groove 13 is defined between the opposing surfaces of the opposing plate portions 15 and the outer peripheral surface of the insertion main body portion 14, and the concave groove 13 is fitted to the groove edge of the mounting groove 41 when inserted into the mounting groove 41. It comes to be worn.

  The insertion main body portion 14 is a portion inserted into the mounting groove 41 and has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the mounting groove 41. Both opposing plate portions 15 are made slightly larger than the insertion main body portion 14 and are disposed so as to cover both front and rear openings of the attachment groove 41 when inserted into the attachment groove 41. A pair of left and right (a pair in the width direction) sandwiching ribs 16 are formed on the upper opposing surfaces of the opposing plate portions 15 so as to extend in the height direction. A bracket 40 can be elastically clamped in the thickness direction between the clamping ribs 16 of the opposing plate portions 15.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a pair of left and right engaged portions 17 are formed in a recessed manner on the upper outer peripheral surface (the upper groove surface of the concave groove 13) of the insertion main body portion 14. The inner upper surfaces of the both locked portions 17 are inclined surfaces 18 that expand upward, and the inner and lower surfaces of the both locked portions 17 are locked surfaces 19 that gently slant along the width direction. Yes. When inserted into the mounting groove 41, the locking portion 42 is fitted into the locked portion 17, whereby the inclined surface 18 faces the guide surface 43 and the locked surface 19 faces the locking surface 44. It is like that.

  Now, a pair of left and right through holes 21 is formed in the electric wire holder 10, and a pair of left and right elastic locking portions 22 are formed outside the both through holes 21. Both through-holes 21 are configured to penetrate both the insertion main body portion 14 and both opposing plate portions 15 in the front-rear direction, and have a width sandwiching the axial core portion 23 located directly above the wire insertion hole 11. It is arranged in pairs on both sides in the direction. Both elastic locking portions 22 extend in the height direction along both side edges of the electric wire holder 10 and have a doubly-supported beam shape with both ends in the extending direction (height direction) as fixed ends. Both elastic locking portions 22 can be bent and deformed inward to narrow the width of the through holes 21. As shown in FIG. 5, in the insertion main body portion 14, the upper edges of both elastic locking portions 22 are partitioned by the locked surface 19 of the locked portion 17, so that the thickness of both elastic locking portions 22 is obtained. The (width dimension) is substantially uniform over the entire length.

Next, a specific operation when inserting the electric wire holder 10 into the mounting groove 41 of the bracket 40 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the electric wire holder 10 is inserted into the mounting groove 41 of the bracket 40 from above. In the insertion process, the outer peripheral surface of the elastic locking portion 22 of the insertion main body portion 14 slides on the guide surface 43 of the locking portion 42, so that the elastic locking portion 22 faces inward with both fixed ends as fulcrums. It can be bent and deformed. Therefore, the sliding resistance generated between the insertion main body portion 14 and the locking portion 42 is alleviated by the bending operation of the elastic locking portion 22. When the elastic locking part 22 gets over the locking part 42, the elastic locking part 22 is displaced in a direction to return elastically, and accordingly, the locking part 42 fits into the locked part 17. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the inclined surface 18 of the locked portion 17 abuts on the guide surface 43 of the locking portion 42 in a substantially surface contact state.

  In the state immediately after the electric wire holder 10 is inserted into the mounting groove 41 in this way, the electric wire 60 inserted into the electric wire insertion hole 11 of the electric wire holder 10 is in the height direction of the mounting groove 41 as shown in FIG. It is arranged in a relaxed state on the groove bottom side (back side) from the center. Further, the elastic locking portion 22 is substantially restored to the natural state, and a gap is formed between the locked surface 19 of the elastic locking portion 22 and the locking surface 44 of the locking portion 42. This state corresponds to the initial position of the wire holder 10.

  Subsequently, when the electric wire 60 is pulled and tensioned, as shown in FIG. 8, the electric wire 60 is displaced upward (opening side of the attachment groove 41) from the initial position, and accordingly the insertion main body portion 14 is attached to the attachment groove 41. Emerges from the bottom of the groove. When the electric wire 60 is further displaced upward, the locked surface 19 of the elastic locking portion 22 is pressed tightly against the locking surface 44 of the locking portion 42, so that the elastic locking portion 22 is locked. The locking allowance (locking force) with the locking surface 44 is increased so as to be increased more than when overcoming the above. This state corresponds to the holding position of the electric wire holder 10. In the holding position, the elastic locking portion 22 is locked tightly with the locking portion 42 by its elastic restoring force. For this reason, the electric wire holder 10 is firmly held by the bracket 40.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the electric wire 60 is pulled after the electric wire holder 10 is inserted into the attachment groove 41, the electric wire holder 10 moves in the attachment groove 41 from the standby position to the holding position. As a result, the elastic locking portion 22 is pressed against the locking portion 42 of the mounting groove 41 and is deformed to increase the locking force with the locking portion 42, so that the holding force of the wire holder 10 is increased. Can be secured. On the other hand, when the elastic locking part 22 gets over the locking part 42 during the insertion process into the mounting groove 41, the elastic locking part 22 is bent between the elastic locking part 22 and the locking part 42 by the bending operation. Since sliding resistance can be made small, the insertion force of the electric wire holder 10 can be made low.

  Moreover, since the elastic latching | locking part 22 is formed in the double-supported beam shape which uses the both ends of the insertion direction to the attachment groove 41 as a fixed end, the retention strength of the electric wire holder 10 can be made higher. Further, the locking portions 42 are formed in pairs on both side edges in the width direction on the opening side of the mounting groove 41, and the elastic locking portions 22 are formed in pairs on both side edges in the width direction of the wire holder 10. Therefore, in the process of inserting into the mounting groove 41, the posture of the electric wire holder 10 is restricted from tilting in the width direction.

  Further, since the locking portion 42 has a guide surface 43 that is inclined along the direction of insertion into the mounting groove 41, the guide surface 43 guides the insertion of the wire holder 10 into the mounting groove 41, so that the wire holder The smoothness of the 10 insertion operations is ensured.

  Furthermore, since the locking portion 42 is formed on the groove surface of the mounting groove 41, the elastic locking portion 22 can be formed in the portion of the wire holder 10 that is inserted into the mounting groove 41. The structure of the holder 10 can be made relatively simple. Moreover, since the locking portion 42 is formed on the groove surface on the opening side of the mounting groove 41, the locking position locked by the locking portion 42 in the electric wire holder 10 and the bottom surface of the mounting groove 41 on the groove bottom side. A large height dimension between the position (lower end) can be secured. As a result, the holding force of the electric wire holder 10 in the mounting groove 41 can be further increased.

It is done. Then, the locked surfaces 19A of both elastic locking portions 22A are pressed against the locking surfaces 44A of both locking portions 42A, and both elastic locking portions 22A are elastically expanded and deformed. As a result, the free ends of both elastic locking portions 22A are brought into close contact with both corners 49 on the opening side of the mounting groove 41A, and the locking force between the elastic locking portions 22A and the locking portions 42A is increased. According to the second embodiment, since the elastic locking portion 22A is formed in a cantilever shape with the rear end in the insertion direction into the mounting groove 41A as a free end, the insertion force of the electric wire holder 10A is further reduced. Can do.

The upper surfaces of both locking portions 42D are guide surfaces 43D that are inclined downward toward the protruding end side, and the lower surfaces of both locking portions 42D are locking surfaces 44D that are substantially horizontal in the width direction. The structure of the bracket 40D is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment.

  The electric wire holder 10D is made of rubber and has a block-shaped insertion main body portion 14D. A circular electric wire insertion hole 11D into which the electric wire 60 can be inserted is formed through the insertion main body portion 14D. In addition, a pair of inclined surfaces 29D that are inclined along the direction of insertion into the attachment groove 41D are formed at the lower end of the insertion main body portion 14D, as in the third embodiment. Both inclined surfaces 29D are configured to expand in a tapered shape from the center in the width direction of the lower end of the insertion main body portion 14D to both side edges. In short, the lower end portion of the insertion main body portion 14D is tapered in the direction of insertion into the mounting groove 41D.

  A pair of shoulder portions 33 are cut out at both side edges of the upper end of the insertion main body portion 14D. Both shoulder portions 33 have an L-shaped cross section, and a pair of elastic locking portions 22D are formed on the lower side thereof. The upper ends of both elastic locking portions 22D are locked surfaces 19D that define the lower ends of both shoulder portions 33, and are arranged substantially horizontally in the width direction. The insertion body 14D is solid except for the wire insertion hole 11D.

  At the initial stage when the electric wire holder 10D is inserted into the mounting groove 41D of the bracket 40D, the inclined body 29D of the insertion main body portion 14D is retracted in the insertion direction into the mounting groove 41D. It is avoided that 14D interferes with the locking portion 42D. In the middle stage of insertion into the mounting groove 41D, the inclined surface 29D of the insertion main body portion 14D slides on the guide surface 43D of the locking portion 42D, and the elastic locking portion 22D is bent and deformed inward. When the electric wire holder 10D is inserted into the mounting groove 41D and reaches the initial position, the elastic locking portion 22D is elastically restored, and the locking portion 42D is fitted into the shoulder portion 33. At the same time, the locked surface 19D of the elastic locking portion 22D is disposed so as to be able to contact the locking surface 44D of the locking portion 42D from below. When the electric wire 60 is pulled in this state, the electric wire holder 10D is displaced toward the opening side of the mounting groove 41D, and the locked surface 19D of the elastic locking portion 22D closely contacts the locking surface 44D of the locking portion 42D. Touched.

  According to the fifth embodiment, since the lower end portion of the electric wire holder 10D (tip portion in the insertion direction to the attachment groove 41D) is formed in a tapered shape, the electric wire holder 10D is inserted into the attachment groove 41D. The sliding resistance resulting from contact with the groove surface (including the locking portion 42D) of the mounting groove 41D can be kept small. As a result, the operability when inserting the wire holder 10D into the mounting groove 41D is improved, and the work load is reduced.
