When the tolerance between the holes Pa is larger than the tolerance between the anchor parts 3, the anchor part 3 at the center part is moved in the longitudinal direction B of the outer sheath protection member 2 and absorbs the tolerance between the holes Pa, and thereby reducing the misalignment between the anchor parts 3 and the holes Pa. As a result, the wiring harness A is securely and stably attached to the vehicle body panel P of a vehicle.

Description

  The present invention relates to a wire harness fixture used when a wire harness routed in an automobile is attached to a vehicle body panel of the automobile.

Conventionally, as a method of attaching the above-described wire harness to a vehicle body panel, for example, a wire harness fixture including a fixing member that is fixed to the wire harness and a vehicle body locking member that is detachably attached to the fixing member has been proposed. (See Patent Document 1). The fixing device for a wire harness is provided so that the attachment position of the vehicle body locking member to the fixing member, that is, the attachment position and the attachment direction of the clip portion formed on the vehicle body locking member with respect to the wire harness can be adjusted.
However, the wire harness fixing tool of Patent Document 1 and the number of parts constituting the fixing tool are large, and the work of attaching to the wire harness takes time and effort. Further, since the structure of each part is complicated, there is a problem that the processing cost of a mold for molding each part is high, and the overall manufacturing cost is high.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, a wire harness fixing tool in which a wedge-shaped anchor portion 130 is fixed at three positions in the longitudinal direction B with respect to the upper surface of the exterior protection member 120. There are 100. When the wire harness A is attached to the vehicle body panel P of the automobile using the wire harness fixing tool 100, the anchor portions 130 of the exterior protection member 120 are respectively inserted into the hole portions Pa of the vehicle body panel P and fixed at three locations.

  However, when the tolerance between the hole portions Pa is larger than the tolerance between the anchor portions 130, it is impossible to move the anchor portion 130 to a position where insertion into the hole Pa is allowed. Even if it is going to be forcibly inserted into the hole Pa, the tolerance between the holes Pa cannot be absorbed, and all three places cannot be fixed. In addition, if the anchor portion 130 is forcibly inserted into the hole portion Pa, the stress acting on the anchor portion 130 increases, so that there is a high concern that the anchor portion 130 will break.

  Further, when the number of the hole portions Pa of the vehicle body panel P and the anchor portions 130 locked to the hole portions Pa is reduced, the exterior protection member 120 is long, so that it is given to one anchor portion 130. The load is large, and the anchor portion 130 is broken or deformed. For this reason, the state which attached the wire harness A with respect to the vehicle body panel P of a motor vehicle cannot be maintained.

JP 2009-273278 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a wire harness fixture that can attach a wire harness to a vehicle body panel of an automobile reliably and stably with a single component while having a simple shape and structure. .

The present invention is a wire harness fixture for attaching a wire harness routed to an automobile to a vehicle body panel of the automobile, and includes an exterior protection member attached to an outer surface of the wire harness, and the vehicle body panel. An anchor portion that is locked to the formed hole portion, the anchor portion corresponding to a plurality of hole portions formed in the vehicle body panel at a predetermined interval with respect to the longitudinal direction of the exterior protection member. It is a wire harness fixture that is disposed at a plurality of locations and is provided so as to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction with respect to the hole.
The movable anchor portion can be, for example, an anchor portion that moves relative to the exterior protection member, or an anchor portion that moves together with the exterior protection member to which the anchor portion is fixed.

  When attaching the wire harness to the vehicle body panel of the automobile using the wire harness fixture described above, after mounting the exterior protection member so as to cover the outer surface of the wire harness, the anchor portion is inserted into the hole of the vehicle body panel. If locked, the wire harness can be attached to the body panel of the automobile.

  In addition, if the tolerance between the holes is larger than the tolerance between the anchors, and the positional relationship between the anchors and the holes is greatly deviated within the allowable range of mutual locking, it is movable. By moving the anchor portion in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction with respect to the hole portion of the vehicle body panel and absorbing the tolerance between the hole portions, the positional deviation between the anchor portion and the hole portion can be reduced.

Thereby, not only when the anchor portion is inserted into the hole portion but also after insertion, a large stress is not applied to the anchor portion, and the anchor portion can be prevented from being broken.
As a result, the wire harness can be securely and stably attached to the vehicle body panel of the automobile. In addition, since the anchor portion is only provided so as to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction with respect to the hole portion, the shape and structure of the entire wire harness fixture can be simplified and configured with one component.

  As an aspect of the present invention, one anchor portion arranged at the center or one end side among the plurality of anchor portions can be provided movably in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction with respect to the hole.

By moving the anchor part at one place (for example, the central part, the left end side, the right end side, etc.) arranged at the center part or one end side as described above, and absorbing the tolerance between the hole parts, Misalignment can be reduced.
As a result, the misalignment between the anchor portion and the hole portion can be corrected within a range where mutual locking is allowed. Moreover, the anchor part and hole part of the location which a position shift produced can be latched reliably.

  Further, since the plurality of anchor portions are respectively locked to the plurality of hole portions corresponding to the respective anchor portions, the load of the exterior protection member is not applied to only one anchor portion, Since it is distributed and applied to the anchor portion, the anchor portion can be prevented from being damaged.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention, two anchor portions arranged closer to both end sides or one end side among the plurality of anchor portions are provided so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction with respect to the hole portion. it can.

Either one or two anchors can be moved among the two positions arranged near both ends or one end (for example, the left end and the right end, the left end and the center, the right end and the center, etc.) Thus, by absorbing the tolerance between the hole portions, the positional deviation between the anchor portion and the hole portion can be reduced.
As a result, the misalignment between the anchor portion and the hole portion can be corrected within a range where mutual locking is allowed. Moreover, the anchor part and hole part of 1 place or 2 places which position shift produced can be latched reliably.

  As an aspect of the present invention, all the anchor portions at the plurality of locations can be provided so as to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction with respect to the hole.

By moving the anchor portion at a desired location (for example, a plurality of locations such as 1 location, 2 locations, 3 locations, etc., or all locations) among the above-described multiple anchor portions to absorb tolerances between the holes. The positional deviation between the anchor part and the hole part can be reduced.
As a result, regardless of the location where the misalignment between the anchor portion and the hole portion occurs, the misalignment can be corrected within a range where mutual locking is allowed. In addition, regardless of where the positional deviation occurs, the anchor portion and the hole portion at that location can be reliably locked.
In addition, when the wire harness is routed with sufficient margin to the body panel, even if the positional relationship between the anchor part of the wire harness fixture fixed to the wire harness and the hole part of the body panel is shifted, the anchor part and the hole The portion can be securely locked.

  In addition, there is no allowance for the wiring length of the wire harness routed along the vehicle body panel, and the positional relationship between the anchor portion of the wire harness fixture fixed to the wire harness and the hole portion of the vehicle body panel is shifted. However, by moving the desired or all of the anchor portions, the anchor portion and the hole portion can be reliably locked.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention, the entire length of the exterior protection member is divided into a plurality in the longitudinal direction, and the anchor portions are arranged on the respective protection members obtained by dividing the exterior protection member, and each of the protection members Can be movably provided in the longitudinal direction of the exterior protection member.

By moving the protective member divided into a plurality of parts as described above and absorbing tolerances between the hole portions, it is possible to reduce the positional deviation between the anchor portion arranged on the protective member and the hole portion of the vehicle body panel.
As a result, the misalignment between the anchor portion and the hole portion can be corrected within a range where mutual locking is allowed. Moreover, the anchor part and hole part of the location which a position shift produced can be latched reliably.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention, a flexible connecting portion connects between the exterior protection member and the anchor portion or between each protection member formed by dividing the exterior protection member into a plurality of portions. In addition, the connecting portion can be formed in a shape that meanders along the longitudinal direction of the exterior protection member in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction.

  Since the connecting portion described above meanders along the longitudinal direction of the exterior protection member in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction with respect to the hole portion of the vehicle body panel, when reducing the positional deviation between the anchor portion and the hole portion, The anchor portion can be moved in the longitudinal direction and the short direction of the exterior protection member, but cannot be moved in a direction parallel to the insertion direction with respect to the hole portion.

Accordingly, the anchor portion locked to the hole portion of the vehicle body panel does not move in a direction parallel to the insertion direction, and the anchor portion can be prevented from falling off from the hole portion.
As a result, the state in which the wire harness is attached to the vehicle body panel of the automobile can be maintained.

  According to the present invention, the wire harness can be reliably and stably attached to the vehicle body panel of an automobile with a single component while having a simple shape and structure.

FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged front view of the fixture 1, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line AA of the wire harness fixture 1 of FIG. 1.

  The wire harness fixture 1 of the present embodiment includes an exterior protection member 2 mounted on the outer surface of the wire harness A, and a hole Pa (see FIG. 2) formed on a wiring surface of a vehicle body panel P of an automobile (not shown). ) And the three anchor portions 3 to be locked.

  Of the three anchor portions 3 disposed on the upper surface of the exterior protection member 2, the central anchor portion 3 disposed in the middle is provided so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction B of the exterior protection member 2.

  The exterior protection member 2 is formed in a size and shape that covers the entire outer peripheral surface of the wire harness A except for a part of the outer peripheral surface of the wire harness A. Moreover, the cross-sectional shape cut | disconnected by the surface orthogonal to the longitudinal direction B of the exterior protection member 2 is formed in the hook shape which opened one side full length in parallel with the longitudinal direction B seeing from one end side.

The exterior protection member 2 includes a lower side wall portion 2x, an upper surface side wall portion 2y, and a rear side wall portion 2z, and the interval W between the vertically facing wall portions 2x and 2y is such that the wire harness A is held. Separated by an acceptable interval. That is, the space between the wall portions 2x and 2y of the exterior protection member 2 is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the wire harness A and at an interval at which the wire harness A is held in the radial direction.
Furthermore, the exterior protection member 2 cuts out the center of the upper side wall portion 2y to form a left protection member 2a and a right protection member 2b.

The anchor portions 3 are arranged at three locations with a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction B along the upper surface of the exterior protection member 2. In other words, the three holes Pa formed on the wiring surface of the vehicle body panel P are arranged in series with an interval to be locked to the hole Pa.
The hole portions Pa of the vehicle body panel P are arranged in series at a predetermined interval along the wiring surface of the vehicle body panel P.

  The anchor portion 3 includes a base portion 3a that is rectangular when viewed from above, a shaft portion 3b that protrudes straight upward with respect to the center of the upper surface of the base portion 3a, and a base end of the shaft portion 3b. A concave dish portion 3c formed in a circular shape when viewed from above, and a wedge-shaped locking portion 3d locked to a hole portion Pa of the vehicle body panel P formed at the tip of the shaft portion 3b. (Refer to the enlarged view of part a in FIG. 1).

  In the anchor portion 3 in the center, the base portion 3a of the anchor portion 3 is disposed between the opposing end portions of the left protective member 2a and the right protective member 2b. Further, both ends of the base portion 3a and the end portions of the left and right protection members 2a and 2b are integrally connected by a flexible connecting portion 4 formed in a wave shape when viewed from above.

The connecting portion 4 meanders along the longitudinal direction B of the exterior protection member 2 in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction D with respect to the hole portion Pa of the vehicle body panel P, and is formed in a wave shape when viewed from above. In addition, the anchor portions 3 on both the left and right ends integrally fix the base portion 3a of the anchor portion 3 to the upper surfaces of the central portions of the left and right protection members 2a and 2b.
That is, due to the flexibility of the connecting portion 4 that connects the base portion 3a of the anchor portion 3 and the protection members 2a and 2b, the central anchor portion 3 is directed in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction D with respect to the hole Pa. It can be moved.

  Moreover, since the connection part 4 meanders along the longitudinal direction B of the exterior protection member 2 in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction D with respect to the hole Pa, if the connection part 4 is flexible, the anchor part 3 Can be moved in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction D with respect to the hole Pa, that is, in the longitudinal direction B and the short direction C of the exterior protection member 2. However, it cannot be moved in a direction parallel to the insertion direction D with respect to the hole Pa.

Thereby, the anchor part 3 locked to the hole Pa of the vehicle body panel P does not move in a direction parallel to the insertion direction D, and the anchor part 3 can be prevented from falling off from the hole Pa.

The exterior protection member 2 is fixed integrally to the outer surface of the wire harness A (see FIG. 1).

  Next, the anchor portion 3 of the exterior protection member 2 is inserted into the three hole portions Pa of the vehicle body panel P and locked at three locations (see FIG. 2). Thereby, the wire harness A can be attached along the routing surface of the vehicle body panel P.

  In addition, when the tolerance between the hole portions Pa is larger than the tolerance between the anchor portions 3, and the positional relationship between the anchor portion 3 and the hole portion Pa is greatly deviated within a range where mutual locking is allowed. The connecting portion 4 is flexed so that the central anchor portion 3 is moved in the left-right direction perpendicular to the insertion direction D with respect to the hole Pa of the vehicle body panel P, and adjusted to a position where it is inserted into the substantially middle of the hole Pa. (See FIGS. 3 and 4).

  That is, the anchor part 3 in the center is moved in the longitudinal direction B (direction indicated by the arrow in the figure) of the exterior protection member 2 to absorb the tolerance between the hole parts Pa, thereby fixing the anchor part 3 and the hole part Pa. Can be reduced. Further, the positional deviation between the anchor portion 3 and the hole portion Pa can be corrected within a range where mutual locking is allowed.
