Description

本発明は、電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスに関する。 The present invention relates to wire protection components and wire harnesses.

従来、車両に搭載されるワイヤハーネスには、電線を周辺部品との干渉等から保護する電線保護部品が設けられている。そして、その電線保護部品は、電線を内方に挿通させるコルゲートチューブ等の外装部材を備えている。例えば、この種の電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、下記の特許文献1に開示されている。この特許文献1のワイヤハーネスは、配索経路上の下端位置において、分割した外装部材の間から電線を露出させ、その電線の露出部分を水抜き穴付きのプロテクタで覆うことによって、外装部材の中に入り込んだ水を排出させると共に、電線の露出部分を保護している。 2.

ところで、従来の電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、水抜きのために外装部材を分割しているので、部品点数の増加を引き起こす。また、従来の電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、その外装部材の分割に伴い露出してしまった電線を保護するためのプロテクタが必要になるので、この点でも部品点数の増加を引き起こす。このように、従来の電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、部品点数の増加に伴う原価の高騰を招く虞がある。 By the way, in the conventional wire protection component and wire harness, the exterior member is divided for draining water, which causes an increase in the number of components. In addition, conventional wire protection parts and wire harnesses require a protector to protect the exposed wires due to the division of the exterior member, which also causes an increase in the number of parts. As described above, conventional wire protection components and wire harnesses are likely to increase in cost due to an increase in the number of components.

そこで、本発明は、原価の高騰を抑え得る電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスを提供することを、その目的とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wire protection component and a wire harness capable of suppressing an increase in cost.

上記目的を達成する為、本発明に係る電線保護部品は、電線を内方で保護する外装部材を備え、前記外装部材は、管状に形成され、管内に前記電線を挿通させる管部と、前記管部の軸線上の同じ位置で前記管部の外周壁から突出させ且つ内部空間を前記管部の前記管内に連通させた複数の突起部の集まりである少なくとも1組の突起群と、を有し、前記突起群における複数の前記突起部の内の少なくとも1つは、前記内部空間を外部に開放させる開口部を有することを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, a wire protection component according to the present invention comprises an exterior member for protecting an electric wire from the inside, the exterior member being formed in a tubular shape and having a tubular portion through which the electric wire is inserted; at least one set of protrusions, which is a group of protrusions that protrude from the outer peripheral wall of the tube at the same position on the axis of the tube and communicate the internal space with the inside of the tube of the tube. At least one of the plurality of projections in the group of projections has an opening that opens the internal space to the outside.

上記目的を達成する為、本発明に係るワイヤハーネスは、電線と、前記電線を保護する電線保護部品と、を備え、前記電線保護部品は、前記電線を内方で保護する外装部材を備え、前記外装部材は、管状に形成され、管内に前記電線を挿通させる管部と、前記管部の軸線上の同じ位置で前記管部の外周壁から突出させ且つ内部空間を前記管部の前記管内に連通させた複数の突起部の集まりである少なくとも1組の突起群と、を有し、前記突起群における複数の前記突起部の内の少なくとも1つは、前記内部空間を外部に開放させる開口部を有することを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, a wire harness according to the present invention comprises a wire and a wire protection component that protects the wire, the wire protection component comprises an exterior member that protects the wire inside, The exterior member is formed in a tubular shape, protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the tubular portion at the same position on the axis of the tubular portion as the tubular portion through which the electric wire is inserted, and forms an internal space inside the tubular portion. and at least one set of protrusions that are a group of a plurality of protrusions communicating with each other, and at least one of the plurality of protrusions in the protrusion group is an opening that opens the internal space to the outside. It is characterized by having a part.

本発明に係る電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、外装部材に設けた突起部の開口部を水抜き孔として利用できるので、この外装部材を水抜きのために従来のように分割しなくてもよい。このため、この電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、部品点数を減らすことができる。更に、本発明に係る電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、従来のように、外装部材の分割に伴い露出してしまった電線を保護するためのプロテクタを必要としない。このため、この電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、この点でも部品点数を減らすことができる。このように、本発明に係る電線保護部品及びワイヤハーネスは、部品点数を減らすことができるので、原価の高騰を抑えることができる。 In the wire protection component and the wire harness according to the present invention, the openings of the protrusions provided in the exterior member can be used as drain holes, so the exterior member need not be divided for draining water as in the conventional case. . Therefore, this wire protection component and wire harness can reduce the number of components. Further, the wire protection component and the wire harness according to the present invention do not require a protector for protecting the wires exposed due to the splitting of the exterior member, unlike the conventional case. For this reason, this wire protection component and wire harness can reduce the number of components in this respect as well. As described above, the wire protection component and wire harness according to the present invention can reduce the number of components, thereby suppressing a rise in cost.

The wire protection component 1 shown here includes, in addition to the exterior member 10, a fixing member 20 that is attached to the exterior member 10 from the outside and attached to the vehicle AM (FIGS. 5 to 9).

外装部材10は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で管状に成形される。この外装部材10は、その管内に電線Weを収容しておくことによって、この管内の電線Weを周辺部品との干渉等から保護するものである。 The exterior member 10 is formed in a tubular shape from an insulating material such as synthetic resin. The exterior member 10 protects the electric wires We in the pipe from interference with peripheral components by housing the electric wires We in the pipe.

この外装部材10は、管状に形成され、管内に電線Weを挿通させる管部11を有する(図1から図3)。この管部11は、その軸線を配索経路に沿わせた管状に形成される。また、この管部11は、直管状に形成された直管部11aを有するものとして形成される。その直管部11aは、真っ直ぐな管状で且つ外周壁及び内周壁が滑らかな壁面を成すものとして形成されている。 This exterior member 10 is formed in a tubular shape and has a tube portion 11 through which the electric wire We is inserted (FIGS. 1 to 3). The pipe portion 11 is formed in a tubular shape with its axis along the wiring route. Further, the pipe portion 11 is formed to have a straight pipe portion 11a formed in a straight pipe shape. The straight tube portion 11a is formed in a straight tubular shape and has smooth outer and inner peripheral walls.

また、この管部11は、配索経路如何で、交差させた2つの直管部を繋ぐ屈曲部(図示略)を有している。その屈曲部は、予め配索経路に沿った形状に折り曲げられた部位であってもよい。また、この屈曲部は、折り曲げ可能な可撓管部であり、配索経路に沿って折り曲げていくことのできるものであってもよい。その可撓管部とは、折り曲げ可能な柔軟性を持つものであり、コルゲートチューブの如き蛇腹形状に形成されている。例えば、ここで示す管部11は、複数の直管部11aと少なくとも1つの可撓管部とを有している。 In addition, this pipe portion 11 has a bent portion (not shown) that connects two crossed straight pipe portions depending on the wiring route. The bent portion may be a portion that is preliminarily bent into a shape along the wiring route. Also, the bent portion may be a bendable flexible tube portion that can be bent along the wiring route. The flexible tube portion has a bendable flexibility and is formed in a bellows shape like a corrugated tube. For example, the tubular portion 11 shown here has a plurality of straight tubular portions 11a and at least one flexible tubular portion.

ここで示す管部11は、円管状に形成されている(図1から図3)。また、ここで示す図中の管部11は、直管部11aを抜き出したものである。 The tube portion 11 shown here is formed in a circular tube shape (FIGS. 1 to 3). Further, the pipe portion 11 in the drawings shown here is obtained by extracting the straight pipe portion 11a.

It has at least one set of protrusions 12A (FIGS. 1 to 3). The plurality of protrusions 12 in the protrusion group 12A are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral wall of the tube portion 11 . Here, four protrusions 12 are arranged at regular intervals in the circumferential direction.

突起部12は、管部11の外周壁側を固定端とする片持ちで、かつ、管部11の管内に連通させる内部空間が設けられた中空形状に形成される(図1から図3)。この突起部12は、管部11の軸線に交差させた筒軸を有し、かつ、その筒軸方向の一端を管部11の管内に開口させた筒状に形成されている。ここで示す突起部12は、管部11の軸線に直交させた筒軸を有する円筒状に形成されている。 The projecting portion 12 is cantilevered with the outer peripheral wall side of the tube portion 11 as a fixed end, and is formed in a hollow shape provided with an internal space that communicates with the inside of the tube of the tube portion 11 (FIGS. 1 to 3). . The projecting portion 12 has a cylindrical axis that intersects the axis of the pipe portion 11 and is formed in a cylindrical shape with one end in the direction of the cylindrical axis opened into the pipe of the pipe portion 11 . The projecting portion 12 shown here is formed in a cylindrical shape having a cylinder axis perpendicular to the axis of the tube portion 11 .

ここで、突起群12Aにおける複数の突起部12の内の少なくとも1つは、内部空間を外部に開放させる開口部12aを有している(図3)。この外装部材10においては、その突起群12Aにおける1つの突起部12の開口部12aを水抜き孔として利用し、管部11の中に浸入した水を開口部12aから外部に排出させる。そこで、この外装部材10は、その開口部12aを鉛直下方に向けた状態で、車両AMの例えば車体に取り付ける。更に、この外装部材10においては、管部11における配索経路上の最下端に突起群12Aを設ける。ここで示す外装部材10は、管部11における配索経路上の最下端に直管部11aを配置し(図4)、この直管部11aに突起群12Aを設けている。 Here, at least one of the plurality of protrusions 12 in the protrusion group 12A has an opening 12a that opens the internal space to the outside (Fig. 3). In the exterior member 10, the opening 12a of one projection 12 in the projection group 12A is used as a drain hole, and water that has entered the pipe portion 11 is drained to the outside through the opening 12a. Therefore, the exterior member 10 is attached to, for example, the vehicle body of the vehicle AM with the opening 12a facing vertically downward. Furthermore, in this exterior member 10, a projection group 12A is provided at the lowermost end of the wiring path in the pipe portion 11. As shown in FIG. The exterior member 10 shown here has a straight pipe portion 11a arranged at the lowermost end of the wiring path in the pipe portion 11 (FIG. 4), and a projection group 12A is provided on the straight pipe portion 11a.

突起群12Aにおいては、複数の突起部12の全てが開口部12aを有するものであってもよく、複数の突起部12の中で開口部12aを有するものと開口部12aを有しないものとが混在していてもよい。開口部12aを有する突起部12は、その筒軸方向の他端に開口部12aを有している。また、開口部12aを有しない突起部12は、その筒軸方向の他端を閉塞させている。ここでは、突起群12Aにおける複数の突起部12の内、開口部12aが設けられた1つの突起部12を主突起部12dとし、この1つの主突起部12dの開口部12aを水抜き孔として利用する。ここで示す突起群12Aにおいては、4つの突起部12の内の1つだけに開口部12aを設けており、この開口部12aを有する突起部12が主突起部12dとなる(図3)。 In the group of protrusions 12A, all of the plurality of protrusions 12 may have openings 12a. May be mixed. The protrusion 12 having the opening 12a has the opening 12a at the other end in the cylinder axis direction. The projection 12 without the opening 12a closes the other end in the cylinder axis direction. Here, among the plurality of protrusions 12 in the protrusion group 12A, one protrusion 12 provided with an opening 12a is used as a main protrusion 12d, and the opening 12a of this one main protrusion 12d is used as a drain hole. use. In the protrusion group 12A shown here, only one of the four protrusions 12 is provided with an opening 12a, and the protrusion 12 having this opening 12a serves as the main protrusion 12d (FIG. 3).

この外装部材10においては、開口部12aを有しない突起部12の少なくとも自由端側を刃物で切断することによって、この突起部12に開口部12aを形成する(図3)。このため、開口部12aを有する突起部12は、その開口部12aの周縁に当該開口部12aと同一平面上の切断面12bを有している。 In this exterior member 10, an opening 12a is formed in the projection 12 by cutting at least the free end side of the projection 12 without the opening 12a (FIG. 3). For this reason, the projection 12 having the opening 12a has a cut surface 12b on the same plane as the opening 12a at the periphery of the opening 12a.

この外装部材10は、外側から組み付けた固定部材20を車両AMの例えば車体に取り付けることによって、車両AMに固定する。固定部材20は、合成樹脂等の絶縁性材料で成形される。この固定部材20は、車両AMに対する外装部材10の固定機能のみを有するものであってもよく、この固定機能と共に、外装部材10の外から電線Weを保護するプロテクタとしての保護機能を有するものであってもよい。 The exterior member 10 is fixed to the vehicle AM by attaching a fixing member 20 assembled from the outside to, for example, the vehicle body of the vehicle AM. The fixing member 20 is molded from an insulating material such as synthetic resin. The fixing member 20 may have only the function of fixing the exterior member 10 to the vehicle AM, and in addition to this fixing function, it also has a protective function as a protector that protects the wires We from the outside of the exterior member 10. There may be.
