Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is a wire which is attached to the outer periphery of a wire harness, and which is used to fix an upright locking part in a fitting hole of a vehicle body / equipment or the like to arrange and hold the wire harness. The present invention relates to a harness clamp.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The wire harness clamp is a locking part made up of a cantilever elastic locking piece or the like that is fitted and locked in the fitting hole on the vehicle body / device side at the mounting part to be mounted on the outer periphery of the wire harness, or It has a basic structure with a stud bolt locking part that fits and locks on a stud bolt protruding from the vehicle body / device side. The mounting part and the locking part are integrated and "released to the vehicle body etc. Is being used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When the above conventional wire harness clamp is used, when the wire harness is to be removed from the vehicle body or the like for some reason, it is extremely possible to disengage the locking part that is locked to the vehicle body and free the wire harness. Since it is difficult, there is no choice but to work to remove the wire harness by separating the attachment part and the engagement part with a tool while the engagement state with the vehicle body is maintained. However, this cutting work creates a work environment in a narrow space that is difficult to access, and since the number of clamps to be cut is considerably large in a single wire harness, it is extremely difficult and time-consuming work. There is a strong demand for workability improvements.

On the other hand, in recent years, automobile parts are strongly required to be recycled, and there is a tendency that the number of cases in which the wire harness is detached from the vehicle body and reused is increasing. Therefore, measures for the recycling use are required. The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and provides a wire harness clamp that meets the technical requirements of the field.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The wire harness clamp of the present invention that solves the above technical problem is a combination of "a mounting member that is mounted on the outer periphery of the wire harness and a clamp member that has a locking portion that locks to the vehicle body / device standing upright at the base, The mounting member is provided with a clamp member receiving portion that prevents the base portion from slipping upward and slides, and has a free end on the insertion side of the clamp member in the middle of the clamp member receiving portion in the sliding direction. A cantilever-shaped elastic locking piece that extends and has a locking claw on the upper surface on the slide side is provided, and further, the base of the clamp member is in a normal insertion posture into the clamp member receiving portion, In the free state of the elastic locking piece, a structure is provided in which a retaining pawl for retaining that engages with the locking pawl is provided. "

[0006]

[Action]

 The wire harness clamp of the present invention having the above-described structure includes the mounting member having the clamp member receiving portion whose main part is the elastic locking piece having the above structure, and the clamp member slidably inserted into the clamp member receiving portion. When the clamp members are combined, and the clamp members are mounted in the clamp member receiving portions, the clamp members in the mounting posture are locked together in a retaining shape, so that the clamp members function as a single wire harness clamp. When the elastic locking piece of the mounting portion is elastically bent with a fingertip or the like, the engagement between the locking claw and the pawl is disengaged, and the clamp member can be removed. Therefore, the mounting member and the clamp member can be very easily separated while being attached to the wire harness, and the wire harness disposed on the vehicle body or the like can be easily removed from the vehicle body or the like by the separation.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. That is, the wire harness clamp of the present invention comprises a horizontally elongated mounting member 1 for tape-wrapping around the outer periphery of the wire harness 10 and a fitting hole (not shown) of the vehicle body at the center of the upper surface of the base 3 of the rectangular plate. It is a combination of two separate members from the clamp member 2 in which the engaging portion 4 for fitting and locking is provided upright. At the center of the mounting member 1, there is formed a clamp member receiving portion 5 consisting of a pair of hook-shaped guide strips 6A and 6B which slidably receive the left and right side edges 3A of the base portion 3 in the groove. When the clamp member 2 is inserted from the front end of the clamp member receiving portion 5, the guide members 6A and 6B guide the clamp member 2 in a state where it is prevented from pulling up, and the clamp member 2 can be inserted and attached.

Further, in the center of the clamp member receiving portion 5, there is provided a free end 8 at a front end on the insertion side of the clamp member 2, and an elastic locking piece 7 of a cantilever beam extending in the sliding direction. A locking claw 11 is provided on the upper surface of the elastic locking piece 7, and a pawl 12 is provided at the center of the lower surface of the base 3 of the clamp member 2. Then, referring to FIG. 1B, when the clamp member 2 is inserted into the clamp member receiving portion 5 and is in a normal combined posture, the locking claw 11 of the elastic locking piece 7 in the free state and the pawl of the base portion 3 are stopped. The claws 12 engage with each other to prevent the clamp member 2 from coming off, and the engaging member 4 is erected at the center of the mounting member 1 in the combined posture to form a single wire harness clamp. When the elastic locking piece 7 in the combined state is bent downward with a fingertip or the like as shown by the dotted line in the figure, the engagement between the locking claw 11 and the pawl claw 12 is disengaged, and the clamp member 2 moves in the direction of the arrow A in the figure. The structure is such that it can be removed from the mounting member 1.

In the above wire harness clamp, the clamp member 2 is retrofitted to the mounting member 1 fixed to the wire harness 10 by the tape winding 18 to form a single wire harness clamp, or in advance. A combination of the member 1 and the clamp member 2 is attached to the wire harness 10 for use. The locking portion 4 of this embodiment has a known shape including a blade-shaped locking piece 15 vertically extending from the upper end of a locking column 14 provided upright on the base 3, and Reference numeral 16 in the drawing is a publicly known press-contact piece that prevents “rattle” by press-contacting the periphery of the fitting hole when the locking portion 4 is fitted in the fitting hole of the vehicle body. Is a stopper of the clamp member 2.

In the wire harness clamp according to the above-described embodiment, even when the wire harness 10 is attached to the wire harness 10 and the locking portion 4 is locked to the vehicle body, the free end 8 of the elastic locking piece 7 is fixed to the tool or fingertip. Since it can be separated very easily into the locking member 2 locked to the vehicle body side and the mounting member 1 mounted to the wire harness 10 by flexing downward with the wire harness provided in the single wire harness 10. Even with a large number of clamps for use, the wire harness 10 disposed and locked in the vehicle body can be easily removed from the vehicle body and recycled for reuse by separating the clamps.

The wire harness clamp of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and although not shown, the wire harness clamp is also applied to a stud bolt type clamp having a locking portion for locking the stud bolt on the vehicle body side. The locking portions thereof may have known shapes other than those shown in the drawings.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the wire harness clamp of the present invention can be very easily separated from the body / device side member and the wire harness side member from the state of being attached to the wire harness and locked to the vehicle body or the like. As a result, the workability of removing the wire harness from the vehicle body / equipment is significantly improved, and the recycling of the wire harness is promoted to meet the demands of the field.
