Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a suspension wiring structure in which the number of parts is reduced, the assembly work is simplified, and the weight is reduced.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a conventional suspension wiring has a screw hole 2 formed in a side surface of a groove type suspension link 1 and a pipe-shaped protector 3 having wiring 4 for antilock brakes, for example. The bracket 5 is integrally attached to the outer surface of the protector 3, and the bolt 7 is inserted into the hole 6 formed in the bracket 5 to secure the screw hole 2
The wiring 4 is attached to the outer surface of the suspension link 1 via the protector 3 by fastening the wiring 4 to the outer surface of the suspension link 1.

As another conventional example, a U-shaped bracket 9 is integrally fixed to the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical suspension link 8 and a screw hole 10 is formed in this bracket 9 as shown in FIG. In the same manner as the above, the pipe-shaped protector 3 is protected by, for example, wiring 4 for an anti-lock brake, a bracket 5 is integrally attached to the outer surface of the protector 3, and a bolt 7 is inserted into a hole 6 formed in the bracket 5 to screw a hole 10 The wiring 4 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the suspension link 1 via the protector 3 by being fastened.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above conventional example,
First, the protector 3 for protecting the wiring 4 is required, and the processing step of attaching the bracket 5 to the protector 3 is required, which causes a problem in terms of productivity and cost. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10, when the suspension link 8 is a cylinder, the suspension link 8
It is necessary to attach a U-shaped bracket 9 to the outer periphery of the bracket, and a process for attaching the U-shaped bracket 9 and a step of attaching the bracket 9 to the suspension link 8 are required, which causes problems in productivity and cost. is there.

In assembly, since the protector 3 having the bracket 5 integrated therein is fastened with the bolts 7, the number of parts is increased and there is a problem in assembling. Further, the protector 3 is attached to the outside of the suspension link. Therefore, for example, when the vehicle body is jacked up, the protector 3 may be damaged depending on the installation position of the jack, and the wiring may be damaged, which is a structural problem. Further, since the protector 3 and the bolt 7 are used, there is a problem that the weight becomes large.

The present invention provides a suspension wiring structure that eliminates processed parts to improve productivity and cost, and further reduces the number of parts to improve assemblability and weight. is there.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems, a suspension link is formed into a groove type, and a clamp locking hole and a wiring take-out hole are provided on a side surface of the groove type suspension link. The wiring is passed through the inside of the groove type suspension link, and the wiring is clamped using the clamp locking hole.

[0008]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects. That is, the suspension link is formed into a groove type, a clamp locking hole and a wiring take-out hole are provided on the side surface of the groove type suspension link, and a wire is passed inside the groove type suspension link to connect the wiring to the clamp locking hole. Since it is clamped by using, the wiring is protected by the groove type suspension itself, and it is possible to eliminate the need for a protector. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the processing man-hours and the number of parts, and to reduce the weight. Since it suffices to mount the directly by the clamp, it becomes possible to improve the assembling property.

[0009]

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below. The suspension link 8 shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 (corresponding to the suspension link type shown in FIG. 10) is shown in FIG.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, it has a groove shape, and a side surface thereof is provided with a clamp locking hole 9 and a wiring take-out hole 10 for taking out the wiring 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the wiring 4 is directly attached to the inside of the groove type suspension link 8 by the clamp 11, and both ends of the wiring 4 are taken out from the wiring take-out hole 10 as shown in FIG. Can be connected.

Further, since the suspension link 8 is located near the ground as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, there is a high possibility that stones and water will fly during traveling, for example, in a portion near the tire 13. A lid plate may be attached to a part of the groove-shaped opening of the suspension link 8. In the figure, 14 is a shock absorber, 15 is a spring, 16
Is a bump stopper and 17 is a lateral rod.

The operation of this embodiment having the above-mentioned structure will be described below. Since the suspension link 8 is formed into a groove type and the wiring 4 is attached to the inside thereof, the wiring 4 is protected by the groove type suspension link 8 and a protector as in the conventional case is not required, which reduces the number of processing steps and the number of parts. Reduction and weight reduction are possible. Further, even if the suspension 8 is jacked up and jacked up, the wiring 4 is not damaged.

Since the clamp locking hole 9 and the wiring take-out hole 10 are provided on the side surface of the groove type suspension link 8, the wiring 4 is assembled inside the groove type suspension link 8 as shown in FIG. Pass the wire 4 through the
It suffices to insert the locking portion 12 of the clamp 11 into the clamp locking hole 9 such that the clamp 11 is sandwiched between the clamp 11 and the assembling property can be improved, and both ends of the wiring 4 can be taken out from the wiring taking-out hole 10. This enables electrical connection with the outside.

[0014]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the suspension link is formed in the groove type, and the wiring is attached to the inside thereof. Therefore, the wiring is protected by the groove type suspension link, and the protector as in the prior art is used. Is unnecessary, and the number of processing steps and the number of parts can be reduced and the weight can be reduced.

Further, since the clamp locking hole and the wiring take-out hole are provided on the side surface of the groove type suspension link, the wiring is assembled by passing the wiring inside the groove type suspension link and sandwiching the wiring with the clamp. It is sufficient to simply insert the locking portion of the clamp into the clamp locking hole so that the assemblability can be improved.
