Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-166461

By the way, in the wire harness protector disclosed in Patent Document 1, the wiring outlet is provided on the side wall of the protector body, and the closing wall for closing the wiring outlet extends downward on the upper wall of the lid. are connected like this. Then, when the cover is attached to the protector body, the wiring outlet is closed by the closing wall.

Thus, when the protector cover (lid) has an extending wall (closing wall) projecting in one direction, the extending wall (closing wall) opens (moves) in a direction intersecting with the one direction. In order to suppress this, it is preferable to provide the protector main body with a restricting wall.

However, if the restricting wall is simply provided on the protector main body, the protector cover cannot be attached to the protector main body in a locked state even in a state where the extended wall is not in a proper position with respect to the restricting wall. is possible.

That is, in the above-described conventional technique, the protector cover may be attached in a locked state to the protector main body in a state where the extension wall is not in a proper position with respect to the regulation wall.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art. An object of the present invention is to provide a wire harness protector that can prevent the protector cover and the protector body from being locked when the extension wall is not in a proper position with respect to the regulation wall. to provide.

A wire harness protector according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a protector body having an opening that opens in one direction and into which a wire harness can be introduced; and a protector body covering the opening of the protector body. a protector cover that is attached to the protector main body in a state in which the protector cover is attached to the protector main body; The protector cover includes a covering wall that covers the opening of the protector body, and an extension wall that extends from the covering wall toward the other side in the one direction, and the protector body: A regulating wall is provided for regulating movement of the extension wall in a direction intersecting with the one direction, and the protector body is provided with a protrusion projecting in one side of the one direction. The cover is provided with a through hole through which the projection is allowed to pass when the extended wall is in a normal position with respect to the regulation wall. The tip is formed so as to project from the through hole when the protector main body and the protector cover are fitted together.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the protrusion and the through hole in the state shown in FIG. 8; It is a figure which shows the modification of the vertical wall with which a protector cover is provided, and the control wall with which a protector main body is provided.

Hereinafter, the wire harness protector according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the dimensional ratios in the drawings are exaggerated for convenience of explanation, and may differ from the actual ratios.

In the following description, the up-down direction of the wire harness protector is defined with the protector main body positioned downward and the protector cover positioned upward.

The wire harness protector 10 according to the present embodiment accommodates and holds a part of the wire harness W routed in the vehicle interior (for example, an engine room), so that the wire harness W is arranged in the vehicle interior. It is a member for suppressing interference with other members.

In this embodiment, the wire harness protector 10 includes a protector body 20 and a protector cover 30 provided separately from the protector body 20, as shown in FIGS. By attaching the protector cover 30 to the protector main body 20, the wire harness protector 10 is formed. At this time, an accommodation space S1 capable of accommodating a part of the wire harness W is formed inside the wire harness protector 10 .

As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodation space S1 communicates with the outside through a first through hole S1a and a second through hole S1b. The wire harness W is accommodated in the accommodation space S1 with one end drawn out from the first through hole S1a and the other end drawn out from the second through hole S1b.

In addition, in this embodiment, the first through-hole S1a and the second through-hole S1b are formed so that the opening directions thereof intersect with each other. Therefore, the wire harness W is accommodated in the accommodation space S1 in a bent state.

Further, in this embodiment, the wire harness protector 10 is provided with four lock portions 11 . When the protector cover 30 is attached to the protector main body 20, the protector cover 30 is fitted to the protector main body 20 by the locking portion 11, so that the protector cover 30 is maintained in the attached state to the protector main body 20. I have to. A specific configuration of the lock portion 11 will be described later.

The protector body 20 includes a bottom wall 21 and a peripheral wall 22 extending upward in the vertical direction (the other side in one direction) from the outer peripheral end of the bottom wall 21 . , an introduction space S2 defined by the bottom wall 21 and the peripheral wall 22 is formed. The introduction space S2 has an opening S2a that opens upward in the vertical direction, and is a space that allows the wire harness W to be introduced from above. By attaching the protector cover 30 to the protector main body 20 and covering the opening S2a with the protector cover 30, the housing space S1 is formed.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the peripheral wall 22 is formed with a first notch 221 and a second notch 222 that open upward. Then, the protector cover 30 is attached to the protector main body 20, and the upper openings of the first notch 221 and the second notch 222 are covered with the protector cover 30, thereby forming the first through hole S1a and the second through hole S1b. It has become so.

Thus, in the present embodiment, the wire harness W can be introduced into the introduction space S2 simply by moving the wire harness W downward relative to the protector body 20 arranged so that the opening S2a faces upward. We are making it possible. With the wire harness W introduced into the lead-in space S2, the protector cover 30 is attached to the protector main body 20 from above, so that part of the wire harness W is accommodated in the accommodation space S1 of the wire harness protector 10. I am making it possible. That is, the wire harness W can be housed in the housing space S1 with one end pulled out from the first through hole S1a and the other end pulled out from the second through hole S1b. By doing so, it is possible to omit the step of inserting the ends of the wire harness W into the first through hole S1a and the second through hole S1b, thereby improving the assembling workability.

Here, in the present embodiment, the second through holes S1b are formed so as to be located below the first through holes S1a. Therefore, if the plate-shaped protector cover 30 is used to improve assembly workability, a large gap is formed above the second through hole S1b, through which foreign matter enters the housing space S1. There is a risk of doing so.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the protector cover 30 includes a ceiling wall (covering wall) 31 that covers the opening S2a of the protector body 20, and a ceiling wall 31 that extends downward in the vertical direction (the other side in one direction). A vertical wall (extended wall) 32 is provided. Then, when the protector cover 30 is attached to the protector main body 20 from above, the upper portion of the second notch 222 (part on the other side in one direction) is closed by the vertical wall 32 . By doing so, the second through hole S1b exists below the first through hole S1a.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the protector main body 20 is provided with the restricting wall 24 to prevent the vertical wall 32 from opening (moving) in the thickness direction of the vertical wall 32 (the direction intersecting one direction). I'm trying Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 , one end side in the width direction of the peripheral edge portion of the second notch 222 in the peripheral wall 22 is a first restricting wall 241 , and the other end side is a second restricting wall 242 . When the wire harness protector 10 is viewed along the thickness direction of the vertical wall 32 (the direction that intersects with one direction), both ends in the width direction of the vertical wall 32 are the first restricting wall 241 and the second restricting wall. 242, respectively.

Further, the regulation wall 24 has a rail structure 2410 so that movement of the vertical wall 32 to both sides in the thickness direction (the direction intersecting one direction) of the vertical wall 32 is regulated.

Specifically, a rail structure 2410 is formed on the first regulation wall 241 so that one end of the vertical wall 32 in the width direction is fitted to the rail structure 2410 when the protector cover 30 is attached to the protector main body 20 . I have to.

In this embodiment, the rail structure 2410 is formed to extend in the vertical direction, and has a substantially U-shaped rail wall 2411 in plan view (when viewed along one direction). and a rail groove 2412 defined by . The rail groove 2412 is formed so as to open to the other widthwise end side and upward, so that one widthwise end of the vertical wall 32 can be inserted into the rail groove 2412 from above.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a rail structure 320 is also formed at the other end of the vertical wall 32 in the width direction, so that when the protector cover 30 is attached to the protector body 20, the width of the second regulation wall 242 is reduced. One end is fitted to the rail structure 320 .

The rail structure 320 is also formed to extend in the vertical direction, and is defined by a rail wall 321 having a substantially U-shape in plan view (when viewed along one direction) and the rail wall 321. and a rail groove 322 . The rail groove 322 is formed so as to open at one end in the width direction and downward so that one end in the width direction of the second restricting wall 242 can be inserted into the rail groove 322 from below. .

By doing so, both ends of the vertical wall 32 in the width direction are moved to both sides in the thickness direction (the direction intersecting one direction) of the vertical wall 32 by the regulating walls 24 (the first regulating wall 241 and the second regulating wall 242). movement is regulated.

In this embodiment, the bottom wall 21 includes a bottom wall main body 211 to which the peripheral wall 22 is connected, and an extension portion 212 extending outside the bottom wall main body 211 . The extending portion 212 extends to the lower end portion of the second notch 222 so that the wire harness W pulled out from the second through hole S1b is held (protected) by the extending portion 212. It's becoming A cover (not shown) is attached to the extending portion 212 from above.

In this embodiment, the lock portion 11 includes a body-side lock portion 23 provided on the protector main body 20 and a cover-side lock portion 33 provided on the protector cover 30 .

Specifically, the body-side lock portion 23 protrudes upward (the other side in one direction: the protector cover 30 side), and is elastically deformable in the plate thickness direction. and a locking claw 232 provided on the side.

On the other hand, the cover-side lock portion 33 includes a lock frame 331 which is formed in a substantially frame shape and on which the locking claw 232 is hooked from above, and a lock hole 332 which is formed vertically through the inside of the lock frame 331 . , is equipped with

By inserting the locking claw 232 into the lock hole 332 from below while elastically deforming it and hooking the locking claw 232 on the upper end of the lock frame 331 , the protector main body 20 and the protector cover 30 are locked by the locking portion 11 . It is designed to be mated.

By doing so, only by moving the protector cover 30 downward relative to the protector main body 20 arranged so that the opening S2a faces upward, the vertical wall 32 and the restricting wall 24 are fitted to the rail structure. , can be locked by a lock portion 11. As shown in FIG.

Further, in the present embodiment, the locking piece 231 and the locking claw 232 are provided on the protector main body 20, and the lock frame 331 is provided on the protector cover 30, so that the locked state of the lock portion 11 can be confirmed (visually) from above. (See Fig. 4).

By the way, if the restricting wall 24 is simply provided on the protector main body 20, the protector main body 20 and the protector cover 30 will remain locked even in a state where the vertical wall 32 is not in a proper position with respect to the restricting wall 24. 11 may cause a locking fit.

For example, even if the vertical wall 32 and the restricting wall 24 are not in the normal state as shown in FIG. 7 but in the half-fitted state as shown in FIG. 11 may cause a locking fit. Note that the normal state means a fitted state in which the vertical wall 32 and the second restricting wall 242 are fitted to the rail structure. The semi-fitted state is a state in which the vertical wall 32 is not fitted to the rail structure 2410 of the first restricting wall 241 (or the second restricting wall 242 is fitted to the rail structure 320 of the vertical wall 32). state).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the protector cover 30 and the protector main body 20 from being locked in a state where the vertical wall 32 is not in a proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24. there is

Specifically, the protector main body 20 is provided with a protrusion 25 that protrudes upward in the vertical direction. A through hole 34 is provided through which insertion is permitted.

A protrusion 25 is formed so that the tip 25 a protrudes from the through hole 34 when the protector body 20 and the protector cover 30 are fitted together by the locking portion 11 .

By doing so, it is possible to confirm the fitting state between the protector main body 20 and the protector cover 30 simply by confirming whether or not the tip 25 a of the protrusion 25 protrudes from the through hole 34 .

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the protrusion 25 has the first protrusion 251 and the second protrusion 252 , and the through hole 34 has the first through hole 341 and the second through hole 342 .

When the protector cover 30 is attached to the protector main body 20, the tip 251a of the first protrusion 251 protrudes from the first through hole 341, and the tip 252a of the second protrusion 252 protrudes from the second through hole 342. I'm trying Thus, in this embodiment, two pairs of protrusions 25 and through holes 34 are provided.

Further, in the present embodiment, the outline shape C1 of the protrusion 25 and the shape of the through hole 34 are designed to suppress relative movement of the protector cover 30 with respect to the protector main body 20 . Specifically, the contour shape C1 of the first projection 251 in a plan view (viewed along one direction) is made to be substantially L-shaped, and the contour shape C1 of the second projection 252 is substantially rectangular. I'm trying to be. The shape of the through hole 34 is designed to correspond to the contour shape C1 of the protrusion 25 . That is, the through hole 34 is formed so as to have the same shape and substantially the same size as the contour shape C1 of the protrusion 25 . Therefore, the shape of the first through-hole 341 is a substantially L-shape penetrating vertically, and the shape of the second through-hole 342 is a substantially rectangular shape penetrating vertically.

By doing so, it is possible to prevent the protector cover 30 from moving (for example, rotating) relative to the protector main body 20 while the protrusion 25 is inserted through the through hole 34 . That is, the protector cover 30 is positioned with respect to the protector main body 20 by inserting the protrusion 25 into the through hole 34 .

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the protrusion amount L1 of the protrusion 25 is set by the locking portion 11 when the tip 25a of the protrusion 25 abuts against the protector cover 30. 30 is set so that it does not fit. Specifically, when the tip 25a of the protrusion 25 abuts against the lower surface of the top wall 31 of the protector cover 30, the protrusion 25 is positioned such that the locking claw 232 is positioned below the lock frame 331. A protrusion amount L1 is set.

This prevents the protector main body 20 and the protector cover 30 from being fitted together by the locking portion 11 when the protrusion 25 is not inserted through the through hole 34 . That is, it is possible to more reliably prevent the protector cover 30 and the protector main body 20 from being locked with the protector cover 30 being displaced from the protector main body 20 .

The protrusion 25 and the through hole 34 are configured so that the upward movement of the protector cover 30 in the vertical direction is not restricted by the protrusion 25 when the protrusion 25 is inserted into the through hole 34 . Thus, in this embodiment, the projection 25 and the through hole 34 do not have a locking function to lock the protector cover 30 to the protector main body 20 .

This eliminates the need to confirm the fitting state of the projection 25 and the through hole 34 when confirming the insertion of the projection 25 into the through hole 34, and makes it easier to insert the projection 25 into the through hole. The insertion into 34 can be confirmed. Thus, in this embodiment, the protrusion 25 and the through-hole 34 are provided for checking the displacement of the vertical wall 32 and the like.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first protrusion 251 is formed on the extension of the rail structure 2410 . Also, the second projecting portion 252 is formed on the extension of the second restricting wall 242 .

By doing so, the amount of movement of the protrusion 25 is increased when the vertical wall 32 is not in the proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24 . Further, it is possible to more reliably prevent the protrusion 25 from being inserted into the through-hole 34 when the vertical wall 32 is not in the proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24 . Furthermore, if the first protrusion 251 is formed on the extension of the rail structure 2410, it becomes possible to form the first protrusion 251 more easily. Also, if the second projection 252 is formed on the extension of the second restricting wall 242, the second projection 252 can be formed more easily.

As described above, in this embodiment, by providing a rail structure, movement of the vertical wall 32 to both sides in the thickness direction of the vertical wall 32 (direction intersecting with one direction) is restricted. exemplified.

However, it is also possible to restrict the movement of the vertical wall 32 to both sides in the thickness direction of the vertical wall 32 (the direction intersecting one direction) without providing the rail structure.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11 , one end of the vertical wall 32 in the width direction is prevented from moving to one side (inward) in the thickness direction (the direction intersecting the one direction) of the vertical wall 32 by the first restricting wall 241 . It is possible to make it regulated. Then, the other end of the vertical wall 32 in the width direction is restricted by the second restricting wall 242 from moving to the other side (outside) in the thickness direction (the direction intersecting the one direction) of the vertical wall 32. Is possible.

In this way, movement of the vertical wall 32 to both sides in the thickness direction (direction intersecting one direction) of the vertical wall 32 can be restricted without providing a rail structure.

It is also possible to restrict the movement of the vertical wall 32 only to one side in the thickness direction of the vertical wall 32 (the direction intersecting the one direction) by the restricting wall 24, or to the other side. It is also possible to restrict only the movement of the vertical wall 32 by the restricting wall 24 .

[Action/Effect]
Below, the characteristic configuration of the wire harness protector shown in the above embodiment and its modified example and the effects obtained thereby will be described.

The wire harness protector 10 shown in the above embodiment and its modification has an opening S2a that opens upward in the vertical direction (one side in one direction), and the protector body into which the wire harness W can be introduced. 20. The wire harness protector 10 also includes a protector cover 30 that is attached to the protector body 20 so as to cover the opening S2a of the protector body 20 . Further, the wire harness protector 10 includes a locking portion 11 for fitting the protector body 20 and the protector cover 30 so that the protector cover 30 is kept attached to the protector body 20 .

Here, the protector cover 30 includes a top wall (covering wall) 31 that covers the opening S2a of the protector main body 20, and a vertical wall that extends downward in the vertical direction (the other side in one direction) from the top wall 31. (Extension wall) 32 is provided. On the other hand, the protector main body 20 has a restricting wall 24 that restricts movement of the vertical wall 32 in the thickness direction (direction intersecting one direction).

The protector main body 20 is provided with a protrusion 25 that protrudes upward in the vertical direction. A through hole 34 is provided through which the wire 25 is allowed to pass.

Projection 25 is formed such that tip 25 a protrudes from through hole 34 when protector body 20 and protector cover 30 are fitted together by locking portion 11 .

In this way, when the protector main body 20 and the protector cover 30 are fitted together by the locking portion 11, the protector main body 20 and the protector can be connected by simply checking whether the tip 25a of the protrusion 25 protrudes from the through hole 34 or not. It becomes possible to check the fitting state with the cover 30 . That is, it is possible to more easily confirm the fitting state between the protector main body 20 and the protector cover 30 .

Also, when the vertical wall 32 is in a regular position with respect to the regulation wall 24, the projection 25 is allowed to pass through the through hole 34. As shown in FIG. By doing so, for example, when the vertical wall 32 and the restricting wall 24 are in a half-fitted state, the vertical wall 32 is not in a proper position with respect to the restricting wall 24, and the protruding portion can be removed. 25 can be prevented from being inserted into the through hole 34 . As a result, it is possible to prevent the protector cover 30 from fitting into the protector main body 20 in a state where the vertical wall 32 is not in a proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24 .

As described above, in the case of the wire harness protector 10 shown in the above embodiment and its modification, the protector cover 30 and the protector main body are in a state where the vertical wall 32 is not in the proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24. 20 can be suppressed.

Further, the outline shape C<b>1 of the protrusion 25 and the shape of the through hole 34 may have shapes that suppress relative movement of the protector cover 30 with respect to the protector body 20 .

By doing so, it is possible to prevent the protector cover 30 from moving (for example, rotating) relative to the protector main body 20 in a state in which the protrusion 25 is inserted into the through hole 34 . That is, the protector cover 30 can be positioned with respect to the protector main body 20 by inserting the protrusion 25 into the through hole 34 . As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the protector cover 30 from being attached to the protector main body 20 while the protrusion 25 is inserted into the through hole 34 and a part of the lock portion 11 is not fitted. become. Thus, if the outline shape C1 of the protrusion 25 and the shape of the through hole 34 are configured to suppress relative movement of the protector cover 30 with respect to the protector main body 20, the protector cover 30 and the protector main body 20 are more securely locked. It becomes possible to mate.

Further, if the protector cover 30 is positioned with respect to the protector main body 20 by inserting the protrusion 25 into the through hole 34, the protrusion 25 can be displaced from the position of the through hole 34 with respect to the protrusion 25. is prevented from being inserted into the through hole 34. For example, when the position of the through hole 34 relative to the protrusion 25 is displaced due to the vertical wall 32 not being in the proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24, the protrusion 25 is inserted into the through hole 34. It becomes possible to prevent it from being done. By doing so, it is possible to confirm that the vertical wall 32 is in the correct position with respect to the regulation wall 24 by confirming that the protrusion 25 is inserted into the through hole 34 . That is, it becomes possible to more easily confirm whether or not the vertical wall 32 is in the correct position with respect to the regulation wall 24 .

Also, the shape of the through hole 34 may have a shape corresponding to the contour shape C<b>1 of the protrusion 25 .

By doing so, it is possible to more reliably prevent the protector cover 30 from moving (for example, rotating) relative to the protector main body 20 while the protrusion 25 is inserted into the through hole 34 . become.

Further, the protrusion amount L1 of the protrusion 25 is set to a length such that the lock portion 11 does not fit the protector body 20 and the protector cover 30 when the tip 25a of the protrusion 25 abuts against the protector cover 30. You may

By doing so, it is possible to prevent the protector main body 20 and the protector cover 30 from being fitted to each other by the locking portion 11 when the protrusion 25 is not inserted through the through hole 34 . As a result, locking of the protector cover 30 and the protector main body 20 in a state where the protector cover 30 is displaced from the protector main body 20 can be more reliably suppressed.

Further, the upward movement of the protector cover 30 in the vertical direction may not be restricted by the protrusion 25 while the protrusion 25 is inserted into the through hole 34 .

This eliminates the need to check the fitting state of the protrusion 25 and the through hole 34 when checking whether the protrusion 25 is inserted into the through hole 34 , so that the through hole of the protrusion 25 can be checked more easily. 34 can be confirmed.

Further, the regulation wall 24 may have a rail structure 2410 that slidably holds the vertical wall 32 and regulates the movement of the vertical wall 32 to both sides in the thickness direction (direction intersecting one direction). .

By doing so, it is possible to more reliably prevent the vertical wall 32 from being displaced with respect to the regulation wall 24, for example, the vertical wall 32 being opened.

Moreover, the protrusion 25 may be formed on the extension of the rail structure 2410 .

By doing so, it is possible to increase the amount of movement of the protrusion 25 when the vertical wall 32 is not in the proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24 . Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the protrusion 25 from being inserted into the through-hole 34 when the vertical wall 32 is not in the proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24 . Also, if the protrusion 25 is formed on the extension of the rail structure 2410, the protrusion 25 can be formed more easily.

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present embodiment is not limited to these, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present embodiment.

For example, in the above-described embodiment and its modification example, two sets of protrusions 25 and through holes 34 are provided, but it is also possible to provide only one set of protrusions 25 and through holes 34. It is also possible to provide three or more pairs of the protrusion 25 and the through hole 34 . Even with such a configuration, locking between the protector cover 30 and the protector main body 20 can be suppressed when the vertical wall 32 is not in the proper position with respect to the regulation wall 24 .

When only one pair of the protrusion 25 and the through-hole 34 is provided, the outline shape C1 of the protrusion 25 and the shape of the through-hole 34 are designed to suppress relative movement of the protector cover 30 with respect to the protector main body 20. It is preferable to

Further, the contour shape C1 of the protrusion 25 and the shape of the through hole 34 can be various shapes such as an elliptical shape and a V shape.

Further, in the above-described embodiment and its modification, the projecting portion 25 is formed on the extension of the rail structure 2410, but the projecting portion 25 can be provided at various locations on the protector body 20. .

In this way, the projections 25 and the through holes 34 can have various shapes, and the positions at which the projections 25 and the through holes 34 are formed can also be varied.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment and its modification, the bent vertical wall (extended wall) 32 was illustrated, but the shape of the vertical wall (extended wall) 32 is not limited to such a shape. For example, a plate-like vertical wall (extending wall) 32 may be used.

Moreover, although the wire harness protector 10 that bends and holds the wire harness is exemplified in the above embodiment and its modification, it is also possible to use a wire harness protector that holds the wire harness without bending it.

It is also possible to configure the locking portion by providing the locking piece and the locking claw on the protector cover and providing the lock frame on the protector body.

In addition, the protector main body, protector cover, and other detailed specifications (shape, size, layout, etc.) can be changed as appropriate.
