<Example 1>
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The grommet covers the harness 10 penetrating through the opening 91 provided in the panel 90 of the vehicle body and seals between the harness 10 and the panel 90. The grommet includes a grommet body 20 made of an elastic member such as rubber. The inner member 21 made of a synthetic resin having higher rigidity than the grommet body 20 is provided.

  The panel 90 is a metal plate material that partitions the inside and outside of the vehicle, and has an opening 91 that communicates with the inside and outside. In the case shown in FIG. 2, a part such as a pipe (hereinafter referred to as an interfering object 92) is installed in the vicinity of the panel 90 in the vehicle (vehicle compartment side). The interfering object 92 is disposed so as to cover the opening 91.

  The harness 10 includes a plurality of electric wires 11 and a corrugated tube 12. Each electric wire 11 is provided over the entire path of the harness 10 and penetrates the opening 91 of the panel 90 from the outside to the inside of the vehicle. A terminal fitting (not shown) is connected to the end of each electric wire 11, and the terminal fitting is accommodated in a connector (not shown). The corrugated tube 12 is disposed outside the portion covered with the grommet, has a bellows shape that collectively surrounds the electric wires 11, and can be bent according to the routing route of the harness 10. The end portion of the corrugated tube 12 is fixed by being wound around a wire lead-out portion 22, which will be described later, of the grommet body 20.

  The inner member 21 includes a cylindrical portion 23 that collectively surrounds the electric wires 11 in the opening 91 of the panel 90, a lock portion 24 that is connected to the cylindrical portion 23 and is elastically locked to the panel 90, and And a second lock portion 25. The cylindrical portion 23 has an annular cross-section that is continuously continuous over the entire circumference, and is formed at the rear end (the end opposite to the side where the lock portion 24 and the second lock portion 25 are located and the end outside the vehicle). It has a flange portion 28 that projects outward in the radial direction. The lock part 24 and the second lock part 25 are provided in pairs on both sides in the radial direction at the front end of the cylindrical part 23.

  Further, the lock part 24 and the second lock part 25 are configured to bend and extend so as to be bent back so as to protrude forward from the front end of the tubular part 23, and the front end of the tubular part 23 is substantially supported as a fulcrum. As shown in FIG. When the inner member 21 is attached to the panel 90, the lock portion 24 and the second lock portion 25 are inserted into the opening 91 from the rear, and a locking projection 26 and a second locking projection 27 described later are provided on the inner surface side of the panel 90. It comes to face. At the front end of the cylindrical portion 23, an annular rib 29 that projects radially inward is provided over the entire circumference.

  The second lock portion 25 has one second locking projection 27 at the distal end in the extending direction. The second locking protrusion 27 has a substantially triangular cross-section that gradually increases in thickness toward the rear, and the rear end stands upright along the radial direction so that an opening is formed in the inner surface of the panel 90 (the surface facing the inside of the vehicle). It can be brought into contact with the edge portion 91.

  The lock portion 24 has three locking protrusions 26 arranged in the front-rear direction (a direction parallel to the axial direction of the tubular portion 23) on the outer portion after folding back backward. Each of the locking projections 26 has a substantially triangular shape in cross section that gradually increases in thickness toward the rear, has the same shape and the same size, and has a sawtooth shape as a whole. The rear ends of the respective locking projections 26 are arranged so as to stand up along the radial direction. The rear end of any one of the locking protrusions 26 can selectively contact the edge of the opening 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90. Note that the rear surface of the rear locking projection 26 is disposed at substantially the same position as the rear surface of the second locking projection 27 in the front-rear direction.

  The grommet body 20 has a cylindrical covering portion 31 that covers the cylindrical portion 23 of the inner member 21 at the opening 91 of the panel 90. The covering portion 31 has a bulging ring portion 32 having a substantially U-shaped cross section that bulges outward in the radial direction over the entire circumference and is fitted to the flange portion 28 of the inner member 21 in a covering state. A portion of the covering portion 31 behind the bulging ring portion 32 is configured to gradually reduce the diameter toward the rear end, and a tubular wire lead-out portion 22 is continuously provided at the rear end. In the state shown in FIG. 1, the wire lead-out portion 22 is disposed substantially parallel to the panel 90 so that each wire 11 is inserted in a watertight manner.

  The covering portion 31 has a seal portion 33 that expands in a trumpet shape forward from the front end of the bulging ring portion 32. The seal portion 33 is provided over the entire circumference at the front end of the covering portion 31, and has two inner and outer annular lip portions 34. Both lip portions 34 of the seal portion 33 are elastically adhered to the edge portion of the opening portion 91 on the outer surface (outside of the vehicle) of the panel 90, and watertight between each electric wire 11 in the covering portion 31 and the panel 90. It is designed to be sealed.

Next, the function and effect of the first embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, when the interfering object 92 in the vehicle is installed in the vicinity of the panel 90, it is necessary to avoid that each electric wire 11 that has passed through the opening 91 of the panel 90 interferes with the interfering object 92. In addition, there is a situation in which the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 with respect to the opening 91 (the inclination angle of each electric wire 11 with respect to the panel 90) cannot be increased. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, one of the three locking protrusions 26 is selectively locked to the panel 90, so that the mounting angle of the inner member 21 with respect to the panel 90 is increased. It is possible to regulate, and by extension, the penetration angle of each electric wire 11.

  In the case shown in FIG. 2, among the three locking projections 26 of the lock portion 24, the locking projection 26 located in the middle (center in the front-rear direction) is locked to the edge of the opening 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90. At this time, the second locking projection 27 is elastically locked to the edge of the opening 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90 at a portion on the opposite side to the portion locked to the locking projection 26 in the radial direction. The Thereby, the mounting angle of the inner member 21 with respect to the panel 90 is inclined, and specifically, the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 23 is inclined from the direction orthogonal to the plane direction of the panel 90. When the inner member 21 is tilted in this manner, the posture of the grommet body 20 covering the inner member 21 is tilted, and the wire lead-out portion 22 is tilted in a direction approaching the panel 90. As a result, each electric wire 11 held by the electric wire lead-out portion 22 is also inclined in a direction approaching the panel 90, and the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 with respect to the opening 91 is reduced. It is routed at a position where interference can be avoided. Of the seal portion 33 of the grommet main body 20, the portion on the side where the locking projection 26 is located is in light contact with the edge of the opening 91 on the outer surface of the panel 90, while the second locking projection 27 is positioned. The side portion is in close contact with the edge of the opening 91.

  In addition, when the interfering object 92 in the vehicle is installed closer to the panel 90, it is necessary to further reduce the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 with respect to the opening 91. In such a case, the locking protrusion 26 positioned on the front side is locked to the edge of the opening 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90, and the mounting angle of the inner member 21 with respect to the panel 90 is further inclined.

  On the other hand, unlike the above, when the interference 92 in the vehicle is installed away from the panel 90 or when the interference 92 is not installed in the vehicle, it is necessary to reduce the penetration angle of each wire 11 with respect to the opening 91. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the locking protrusion 26 located on the rear side is locked to the edge of the opening 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90. As a result, the inner member 21 is inserted straight into the opening 91 of the panel 90 without being inclined, and the electric wire lead-out portion 22 is kept substantially parallel to the panel 90. As a result, each electric wire 11 can be routed as usual in the vehicle.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, one of the three locking projections 26 of the lock portion 24 is selectively locked to the edge of the opening 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90. By doing so, the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 with respect to the panel 90 is adjusted without difficulty to a position where interference with the interference object 92 can be avoided. For this reason, the freedom degree of the routing route of the harness 10 improves, for example, as a result of being applicable also to a different vehicle model, versatility is improved.

  Moreover, since the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 can be adjusted by changing the attachment angle of the inner member 21 with respect to the panel 90, setting of angle adjustment becomes easy and reliability can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 with respect to the panel 90 can be selected from among the three locking projections 26 and can be changed in multiple steps, it can be reliably adjusted to a predetermined angle.

  Furthermore, since the lock portion 24 has both a lock function and an angle adjustment function, it is functionally superior to those that simply perform the lock function, and the effectiveness is enhanced.

<Example 2>
3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the inner member 21 is provided with a fulcrum portion 35 instead of the second lock portion 25.

  The fulcrum portion 35 is configured to protrude radially outward at a portion of the cylindrical portion 23 opposite to the side where the lock portion 24 is located, and is substantially inflexible and non-deformable. A concave curved surface 36 having a cross-sectional arc shape is formed in the distal end surface of the fulcrum portion 35 in the protruding direction. The concave curved surface 36 of the fulcrum part 35 is disposed so as to straddle the inside and outside of the opening 91 of the panel 90.

  Here, the lock portion 24 is inserted into the opening portion 91, and one selected locking protrusion 26 is elastically locked to the edge portion of the opening portion 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90. Then, the concave curved surface 36 of the fulcrum part 35 extends from the lock part 24 to the part of the inner surface of the opening 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90 that is located on the opposite side to the part locked by the locking projection 26 in the radial direction. Contact while receiving elastic reaction force. Further, when a locking protrusion 26 different from the above is locked to the edge of the opening 91, the concave curved surface 36 of the fulcrum 35 changes the contact angle with the inner surface of the opening 91 and makes contact with the panel 90. Maintain state. Therefore, according to the second embodiment, when the inclination angle of the inner member 21 with respect to the panel 90 is adjusted, the fulcrum portion 35 having a relatively simple structure can be provided instead of the second lock portion 25.

<Example 3>
5 to 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the shape of the cylindrical portion 23A and the lock portion 24A of the inner member 21A is different from that of the first embodiment, and the opening portion 91A of the panel 90 is also different from the first embodiment in the shape of an oval (including an ellipse). ). Further, the wire lead-out portion 22A extends in the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the cylindrical portion 23 </ b> A has a pair of long side portions 37 that divide both left and right sides, and a pair of short side portions 38 that divide both the upper and lower sides. The long side portion 37 is configured to extend long along the vertical direction. The short side portion 38 extends shorter than the long side portion 37 and is curved in the left-right direction.

  The lock portion 24 </ b> A has a pair of horizontal lock portions 39 at the substantially central portion in the extending direction of both short side portions 38. As shown in FIG. 7, both horizontal lock portions 39 are paired in the long side direction, and are arranged so that the tip portions (tip portions in the extending direction described later) are aligned with each other in the front-rear direction. Specifically, both horizontal lock portions 39 are configured to bend and extend so as to be folded back so as to protrude forward and are configured to have the same extension length.

  In addition, the lock portion 24 </ b> A has a pair of stepped lock portions 41 at a substantially central portion in the extending direction of both long side portions 37. As shown in FIG. 6, the two-stage locking portions 41 are paired in the short side direction, and the tip portions (tip portions in the extending direction described later) are arranged at different positions in the front-rear direction. Specifically, the two-stage locking portion 41 is configured to bend and extend so as to protrude forward and then be folded back. Among these, the extension length of one step lock portion 41 (right side in FIG. 6) is longer than the extension length of the other step lock portion 41 (left side in FIG. 6). More specifically, the extension length of the inner portion before folding in the one stepped locking portion 41 is longer than the extension length of the inner portion before folding in the other stepped locking portion 41, and one stepped locking portion The front end portion in the extending direction of 41 is located on the front side of the front end portion in the extending direction of the other stepped lock portion 41.

  When both the horizontal lock portions 39 and the both-stage lock portions 41 are inserted into the opening portions 91 </ b> A of the panel 90, the leading ends in the extending direction of both the horizontal lock portions 39 are the edges of the long-diameter direction of the opening portions 91 </ b> A on the inner surface of the panel 90. The front end portion of the two-stage locking portion 41 in the extending direction elastically contacts the edge portion in the short diameter direction of the opening portion 91A on the inner surface of the panel 90, and the inner member 21A is in contact with the panel 90. Is held in a state of being prevented from coming off. Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the two horizontal lock portions 39 abut on the edge in the long diameter direction of the opening 91 </ b> A, so that the portion on the long side 37 side of the inner member 21 </ b> A is disposed substantially parallel to the panel 90. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the two-stage locking portion 41 abuts against the edge of the opening 91 </ b> A in the short diameter direction, the portion on the short side portion 38 side of the inner member 21 </ b> A is in contact with the panel 90. It is arranged to be inclined at a predetermined angle.

  Therefore, when each electric wire 11 penetrating the opening 91A extends in the minor axis direction and is routed, the inner member 21A is provided even if the interfering object 92 in the vehicle is installed facing the minor axis direction. As the mounting angle on the short side portion 38 side is inclined with respect to the panel 90 and the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 is reduced, each electric wire 11 is routed to a position where interference with the interference object 92 can be avoided. . On the other hand, when each electric wire 11 passing through the opening 91A extends in the major axis direction and is routed, if the interfering object 92 in the vehicle is not installed facing the major axis direction, the length of the inner member 21A is increased. Since the side-side mounting angle is maintained horizontally with respect to the panel 90, each electric wire 11 can be routed without hindrance.

  Thus, according to Example 3, the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 with respect to the opening 91A is set such that the major axis direction of the opening 91A (the longer side direction of the inner member 21A) and the minor axis direction (the shorter side direction of the inner member 21A). ) And can be different.

<Example 4>
8 and 9 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the form of the lock portion 24B of the inner member 21B is different from that of the first embodiment. A fulcrum part 35 similar to that of the second embodiment is provided on the part opposite to the side in which the lock part 24B is located across the cylindrical part 23.

  The lock portion 24B includes a base portion 42 that is connected to the front end of the cylindrical portion 23 and protrudes radially outward, and a lock main body portion 44 that is connected to the base portion 42 via a flexible hinge 43 so as to be displaceable. Have. The base 42 has an insertion hole 45 into which the lock main body 44 is inserted. The lock main body 44 is configured to extend in the front-rear direction so as to be orthogonal to the hinge 43 in a state where the hinge 43 is disposed along the radial direction together with the base 42 (deployed state shown in FIG. 8). On one side edge of the lock main body 44, three holding projections 46 are provided side by side in the extending direction. Each holding projection 46 has a sawtooth shape as a whole. In addition, a locking projection 26 </ b> B is provided at the front end portion (front end portion) on the other side edge of the lock main body portion 44 so as to protrude in the opposite direction to each holding projection 46.

  The lock main body 44 is inserted from the front into the insertion hole 45 of the base portion 42, and one of the three holding projections 46 is positioned on the edge of the insertion hole 45 on the rear surface of the base portion 42. While being elastically locked, one adjacent holding projection 46 is elastically locked to the edge of the insertion hole 45 on the front surface of the base 42. In this way, both the holding projections 46 sandwich the base portion 42 in the front-rear direction, whereby the lock main body portion 44 is held by the base portion 42.

  In the above case, the distance from the base 42 to the locking projection 26B is determined depending on which of the holding projections 46 is selected. For example, when the holding projection 46 positioned farthest from the hinge 43 and the holding projection 46 positioned in the middle are locked to the base portion 42 (in the state shown in FIG. 9, hereinafter referred to as the first mode), The distance from the base portion 42 to the locking projection 26B is shortened, and when the holding projection 46 located in the middle and the holding projection 46 positioned closest to the hinge 43 are locked to the base portion 42 (in the state shown in FIG. 10). The distance from the base portion 42 to the locking projection 26B becomes longer.

  Therefore, when the interference object 92 in the vehicle is located in the vicinity of the panel 90, when it is necessary to avoid that the electric wires 11 interfere with the interference object 92, the lock portion 24B is in the second mode, and the state Then, the harness 10 is transported to the assembly site. At the assembly site of the harness 10, as shown in FIG. 10, the inner member 21 </ b> B is inserted into the opening 91 of the panel 90 from the front (inside), and the locking protrusion 26 </ b> B is the edge of the opening 91 on the outer surface of the panel 90. By being elastically locked to the inner member 21, the inner member 21 </ b> B is prevented from coming off from the panel 90. Further, since the locking projection 26B is locked to the panel 90 to prevent the inner member 21B from being inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the panel 90, the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 passing through the opening 91 interferes. It is defined as an angle at which interference with the object 92 can be avoided.

  On the other hand, when the interferer 92 in the vehicle is installed away from the panel 90 or when the interferer 92 is not installed in the vehicle, the lock portion 24B is in the first mode, and the harness 10 is assembled in this state. It is transported to the site. At the assembly site of the harness 10, the inner member 21B is inserted into the opening 91 of the panel 90 from the front (inside) in the same manner as described above. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the locking protrusion 26 </ b> B is locked to the edge of the opening 91 on the outer surface of the panel 90, and the withdrawal of the inner member 21 </ b> B from the panel 90 is restricted. Further, the locking projection 26B is locked to the panel 90 so that the inner member 21B is inserted straight into the opening 91 of the panel 90 without being inclined, and the electric wires 11 are routed in the vehicle as before. can do.

  According to the fourth embodiment, the lock portion 24B has a function of adjusting the front-rear position of the locking projection 26B, and the front-rear position of the locking projection 26B can be defined in advance before transport to the assembly site. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the penetration angle of each wire 11 with respect to the opening 91 at the assembly site, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which an operator attaches the inner member 21B to the panel 90 at an incorrect installation angle at the assembly site. can do.

<Example 5>
11 and 12 show a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The fifth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the adjustment member 47 is provided in the lock portion 24C of the inner member 21C.

  The lock portion 24 </ b> C is separate from the base portion 48 and the base portion 48 that project outward in the radial direction at a portion of the front end portion of the cylindrical portion 23 opposite to the side where the second lock portion 25 is located. The lock main body member 49 that can come into contact with the base portion 48 from the front and the adjustment member 47 that connects the lock main body member 49 and the base portion 48 to each other are provided. The base 48 has an insertion hole 51 that penetrates in the front-rear direction. The lock main body member 49 has a screw hole 52 that opens on a surface facing the base portion 48. Further, the lock main body member 49 has a resiliently deformable elastic locking piece 53 projecting obliquely outward. The adjustment member 47 is made of a screw or a bolt and has a screw portion 54 that is screwed into the screw hole 52.

Here, in a state where the lock body member 49 faces the front surface of the base portion 48 and the screw hole 52 and the insertion hole 51 are aligned, the adjustment member 47 is inserted from the insertion hole 51 to the screw hole 52, and the screw portion 54. Is screwed into the screw hole 52.
When the inner member 21C is inserted into the opening 91 of the panel 90, the distal end portion of the elastic locking piece 53 of the lock portion 24C is elastically locked to the edge of the opening 91 on the inner surface of the panel 90, and The second locking protrusion 27 of the second lock portion 25 is elastically locked to a portion of the edge portion of the opening 91 opposite to the side where the elastic locking piece 53 is located. Here, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 12, the front-rear position of the elastic locking piece 53 is changed steplessly by adjusting the screwing amount of the adjustment member 47. As a result, the attachment angle of the inner member 21 </ b> C with respect to the panel 90 is changed, and the penetration angle of each electric wire 11 with respect to the opening 91 is defined as an angle that can avoid interference with the interference object 92.
