Abstract

PURPOSE: To dispense with tape winding fixing work and tape stripping work, so as to achieve simplification by bringing the tips of mustache-shaped protrusions in pressure-contact with the outer peripheral surface of a wire harness inserted into a cap through a process of making it flex, and by locking the wire harness into the cap. CONSTITUTION: An annular tip 5 of a wire harness W/H is pressed and inserted from the opening end in the direction of the arrow while making mustache- shaped protrusions 16 flex. The tips of the mustache-like protrusions 16 make possible the insertion of the annular tip 5 while being bent and made flex in the close end direction. After the completion of the insertion, the mustache- shaped protrusions 16 are brought in pressure-contact with the outer peripheral surface of the annular tip 5 in a state where they are made flex from the facing positions in the radial direction. When a cap 10 is removed after it is arranged in a body in a state where it is attached to the annular tip 5 of the wire harness W/H, the annular tip 5 is pulled out with force. At this time, the annular tip 5 can be pulled out while the mustache-like protrusions 16 are made flex to the opening end side.

A cap to be put on the upper part of the wire harness so that the cap does not easily come off from the wire harness when the cap is penetrated, and the cap is made to come off when the wire harness is strongly pulled after the cap is penetrated.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When wiring a wire harness to an automobile,
As shown in FIG. 15, from the through hole 1a provided on the upper end of the back door frame 1 to the through hole 1b provided on the lower side, the wire harness W /
It is often necessary to penetrate H. In order to prevent the interference with the peripheral parts and facilitate the penetration of the wire harness at such a wire harness installation location, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (A), (B), and (C), the wire harness W /
The tip of H is bent and fixed with a tape 2, and the tip is covered with a cap 3 made of resin and having a shell shape.

That is, the connector 4 is attached to the tip of the wire harness W / H, and when the connector 4 is passed through the tip of the wire harness W / H while being hung, the connector 4 is passed through the inner peripheral wall of the through passage. It may be difficult to insert it into the connector and the connector may be damaged. Therefore,
A wire harness W is formed by bending the tip of the wire harness W / H, winding the connector 4 at the bent tip around the trunk line of the wire harness W / H with tape 2A, and fixing it.
The cap 3 is put on the tip portion 5 of / H. In order to prevent the cap 3 from coming off the wire harness W / H when it penetrates, the opening end of the cap 3 and the wire harness W / H
Tape 2B is wrapped around H.

Further, in order to make it easier to insert the wire harness, the cap 3 has the opening end 3a widened as shown in FIGS. 17 (A) and 17 (B). Therefore, the cross-sectional area on the opening end side and the wire harness. In order to match the cross-sectional area of the W / H insertion portion, as shown in FIGS. 16B and 16C, the wire harness W / H is further bent a required number of times to increase the cross-sectional area of the wire harness W / H, and the tape is applied to the bent portion. 2C is wound and fixed.

The cap 3 is a wire harness W / H.
After wiring in a state of covering the tip of the wire, that is, in the back door shown in FIG. 15, after passing through the through passage 1c through the through hole 1a and taking out through the through hole 1b, the tape 2B is peeled off and the wire harness W / It is removed from H and is disposable. Further, the other tapes 2A and 2C are also removed, the wire harness W / H is returned to the original state, and the connector 4 is connected to the connector at a predetermined position.

[0006]

As described above, in order to prevent the cap 3 from coming off from the wire harness W / H at the time of penetration, it is necessary to wind it with the tape 2B and fix it to the wire harness. Later tape 2B
It is necessary to remove the cap 3 and remove the cap 3 from the wire harness, which requires a large number of work steps and is troublesome. In particular, the work of peeling off the tape to remove the cap is a powerful work. Furthermore, there is a problem that the cost of the tape increases due to the increase of the tape winding portion, and the operation cost also increases due to the increase of the above-mentioned man-hours.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The cap can be retained and retained without being fixed to the wire harness by tape winding, and can be easily removed from the wire harness after penetration. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cap for wire harness installation, which does not require the tape winding fixing work and the tape stripping work which are conventionally required.

[0008]

To achieve the above object, according to the present invention, in claim 1, the tip of the wire harness is bent and taped, and the tip of the annular wire harness is detachably covered. A resin cap that passes through the through-passage of the vehicle body and is removed from the wire harness after it penetrates, and has a generally shell shape with one end being a closed end and the other end being an open end, except for the reduced-diameter closed end side. A large number of thin, long and flexible whiskers are provided on the entire surface, and the tip of the whiskers is bent and pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the wire harness inserted in the cap. (EN) Provided is a wire harness wiring cap configured to lock a harness in the cap. The whiskers are also inserted and locked in the space between both sides of the annular tip.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the cap is divided into two along an axis in the lengthwise direction, and both divided portions are provided with a lock portion and a locked portion to be fitted at the time of closing. Offers a cap. The cap may be composed of separate members. In that case, it is preferable to form the lock portion and the locked portion so that the same members can be joined and used. In the third aspect, the divided part divided into two parts provides a cap in which a part of the divided edge is connected via a thin hinge. The connecting portion by the thin hinge may be provided at one end edge of the divided end portion in the length direction. In this case, it is preferable that the lock portion and the locked portion are provided on both the closed end side and the open end side. Alternatively, the thin hinge may be provided at a divided closed end, and in this case, the lock portion and the locked portion may be provided on the open end side.

As the lock portion and the locked portion, various forms can be adopted. For example, a lock portion provided with a lock hole is projected from one of the divided ends, and the outer peripheral surface on the other divided end side. You may project the locked part which consists of a locking protrusion which locks in a lock hole. Further, a lock portion and a locked portion may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of each of the divided portions so as not to protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the cap.

In claim 4, the whiskers have a length and / or
Alternatively, the present invention provides a cap for wire harness installation in which those having different thicknesses are provided in a mixed manner at required positions.

The whiskers have a diameter of 0.5 m.
m to 1 mm, the protrusion amount is 5 mm to 10 mm, about 3
The protrusions are provided with an interval of 5 mm to 5 mm. Further, the shape may be any of columnar shape, thin plate shape, conical shape, and pyramidal shape.
In addition, a long beard-shaped protrusion (having a high protrusion height) and a short beard-shaped protrusion may be alternately provided in the axial direction of the cap, or may be arranged closer to the closed end than to the open end. The length may be sequentially increased toward the end. Furthermore, a protrusion having a large length and a protrusion having a short length may be provided to face each other in the radial direction. Also, if the length of the protrusion is large, the thickness is thin so that it can be easily bent, while if the length of the protrusion is short, the thickness is large so that it does not easily bend. May be. In addition, when the sheet-shaped material in which the whiskers are planted is not attached to the cap and the sheet-shaped material is attached to the cap later, the diameter of the whiskers can be further reduced and the gap can be reduced. .

[0013]

In the cap according to the first aspect, when inserting the tip of the annular wire harness into the cap, the whisker-like projection protruding inward is pushed in while bending. The tips of the whiskers flex towards the closed end, allowing the insertion of the annular tip of the wire harness. When the annular tip portion of the wire harness is pushed into the vicinity of the closed end side of the cap, substantially the entire outer peripheral portion of the inserted annular tip portion of the wire harness is pressed against the bent tip portion of the whisker-like projection, so to speak,
The outer peripheral portion of the wire harness is sandwiched by the whiskers from the circumferential direction, and the whiskers enter the inner space of the annular portion, so that the wire harness is locked to the cap by both actions. Therefore, in order to pull out the wire harness from the cap, it is necessary to raise the beard-shaped protrusion that is bent toward the closed end side and bend the wire harness toward the open end side to pull out the wire harness. Even if some pulling force is applied, the wire harness is not easily pulled out from the cap. On the other hand, when the cap is removed from the wire harness after the wiring harness is installed, pulling the cap or the wire harness in the removing direction with a strong force allows the beard-shaped projection to bend and be removed.

In the cap according to claim 2, since the cap is divided along the axial direction, it is not necessary to insert it from the open end when inserting the annular tip of the wire harness. It is possible to eliminate the need for inserting force while bending the protrusion. Further, even when the cap is removed from the wire harness, it suffices to release the lock, open the divided cap, and take out the wire harness, so that the pulling force at the time of removal is not necessary. In the cap according to the third aspect, since the divided parts are integrated through the thin hinge, the cap is easy to handle and easy to store.

In the cap according to the fourth aspect, since the whiskers having different lengths and / or thicknesses are mixed and provided at a required position, the locking force by the whiskers can be adjusted. It is possible to cope with the difference in diameter of the wire harness.
That is, when the wire harness has a small diameter, it can be locked by the long whiskers, while when the wire harness has a large diameter, it can be locked by the short whiskers. In addition, for example, if the whiskers on the open end side are made thin while the whiskers on the closed end side are made thick, the wire harness can be easily inserted from the open end side and the whiskers on the closed end side can be inserted after insertion. Can be firmly locked.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. 1 to 6 show the cap 10 of the first embodiment.
The cap 10 is made of a resin made of nylon and having rigidity. The cap 10 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in (2), it is a type that is divided into two parts along the axial direction. When the upper and lower divided portions 11 and 12 are closed, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the cross section perpendicular to the axial direction has an elliptic cylindrical shape, and one end in the axial direction is formed. The diameter is reduced to form the closed end 13, and the other end is expanded to form the open end 14 in a substantially shell shape.

The divided portions 11 and 12 are integrally formed by connecting one end edges of straight portions at divided ends via a thin hinge 15. On the inner peripheral surfaces of these divided portions 11 and 12, except for the vicinity of the closed end 13 having a reduced diameter, whiskers 16 are provided with a gap therebetween so as to project.

In this embodiment, the whisker-like protrusions 16 are formed in a cylindrical shape, and the amount of protrusion thereof is, as shown in FIG. 1 (B) and FIG. 2 (B), toward the divided edges of the divided portions 11 and 12, respectively. The amount of protrusion is gradually reduced, and the tips of the whiskers 16 are set to be aligned. The whisker-like protrusion located at the center of the divided portions 11 and 12 and having the largest protrusion amount is 7 mm. These whiskers have a diameter of 1 m
m, and a gap of 3 mm is provided. Since the thickness of the cap 10 is 0.5 mm, the length of the cap in the axial direction is 50 mm, and the inner diameter of the open end 13 is about 16 mm, the divided portions 11 and 12 are closed to face each other in the radial direction. There is a gap of about 2 mm between the tips of the whiskers 16 that protrude.

Further, the upper and lower divided portions 11 and 12 are provided with a lock portion 17 and a locked portion 18 which are locked at the time of closing at the other end division edge where the thin hinge 15 is not provided. That is, the lock hole 1 is provided on the opening end side of the divided edge of the upper divided portion 11.
A lock portion 17 provided with 7a is provided in a protruding manner, and a locked portion 18 to be inserted and locked in the lock hole 17a is provided in a protruding manner at an opposing divided edge of the lower divided portion 12.

The wire harness W / H to which the cap 10 is attached is bent in the same way as in the prior art FIGS. An annular tip portion 5 is provided at the tip of the harness W / H. As shown in FIG. 3, the cap 10 is attached to the annular tip 5 of the wire harness W / H with the annular tip 5 being opened in a state where the divided parts 11 and 12 are opened. From above, the tip 5a of the annular tip is positioned and inserted on the closed end 13 side, and as shown by the arrow, the upper divided portion 11 is rotated downward with the thin hinge 15 as a fulcrum to divide the divided portion. The divided edges 11 and 12 are joined to close the cap 10. At the time of this closing, the lock part 17 is fitted and locked to the locked part 18 to be locked.

For the annular tip 5 of the wire harness inserted between the locked split parts 11 and 12,
As shown in FIG. 4 (A), the tips of the whiskers 16 protruding from the inner surfaces of the divided portions 11 and 12 are pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the wire harness of the annular tip portion 5 while being pressed from a plurality of radial positions. To do. Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the whiskers 16 enter the gap between the both sides of the annular tip portion 5. By both of these actions, the annular tip portion 5 of the wire harness is locked by the whiskers 16 so that it cannot be easily pulled out from the cap 10.

With the cap 10 attached to the annular tip of the wire harness W / H as described above, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the wiring is routed through the through passage 1c provided in the vehicle body. After the installation, after unlocking the lock part 17 and the locked part 18 and opening the divided parts 11 and 12,
The cap 10 can be easily removed from the tip locking portion 5 of the wire harness.

As an alternative to the method described above, before inserting the annular tip 5 of the wire harness into the cap 10, the split parts 11 and 12 of the cap 10 are closed to lock the lock part 17 and the locked part 18. It is also possible to make a shell-shaped tubular shape and insert the annular tip portion 5 of the wire harness into the tubular cap 10.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C, the annular tip 5 of the wire harness is inserted from the open end 13 by bending the whiskers 16 in the direction of the arrow. The tip end of the whisker-like projection 16 is curved and bent toward the closed end 12 while allowing the annular tip end portion 5 to be inserted. In the insertion completed state shown in FIG. 5 (C), whiskers 16 are pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the annular tip portion 5 in a state of being bent from opposing positions in the radial direction. That is, similarly to FIGS. 4A and 4B, the whisker-like projections 16 are pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the annular tip portion 5 of the wire harness, and the whisker-like projections 16 are provided between both side portions of the annular tip portion. Enter and lock the annular tip 5.

After the cap 10 is attached to the annular tip portion 5 of the wire harness W / H as described above and is routed to the vehicle body, when the cap 10 is removed, as shown in FIGS.
As shown in (C), the annular tip portion 5 of the wire harness is pulled out by applying force in the direction of the arrow. Figure 6
As shown in (B) and (C), the whiskers 16 allow the annular tip 5 to be pulled out while bending toward the open end side.

In the first embodiment, the divided portions 11 and 12 are connected by providing the thin hinge 15 at one end of the divided end in the length direction, but as shown in the modification of FIG. The closed end 13 side may be connected via the thin hinge 15.

FIG. 8 shows a cap of the second embodiment, in which the cap 10 is formed as an integral type without being divided, and a whisker-like projection 16 is provided on the inner peripheral surface thereof. The cap 10 uses, for example, a tube having a protrusion on its outer peripheral surface as a core, and the cap 10 having a whisker-like protrusion 16 is formed between the mold and a mold in a state where pressure is applied to the inside of the core. After molding, the pressure can be applied to the core and the unwinding core can be contracted and pulled out to form the core.

The insertion of the annular tip portion 5 of the wire harness into the integrated cap 10 is the same as that shown in FIG. 5, and the pulling out is the same as that shown in FIG.

9A and 9B show the cap of the third embodiment, in which the shape and arrangement of the whiskers 16 are changed.
Incidentally, the cap itself is the split type and the second type of the first embodiment.
It can be applied to any of the integrated type of the embodiments. That is,
In the cap 10 of the third embodiment, the whiskers 16 have a conical shape, and as shown in FIG. 9 (A), the whiskers 16 having the same amount of projection are staggered in the lengthwise direction so as to project in the radial direction. The beard-like protrusions 16 face each other and do not project. Further, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), they are provided so as to be displaced in the radial direction as well. In this way, if the whiskers 16 are provided so as to be offset, even if the whiskers 16 are thick and difficult to bend, a large-diameter wire harness can be easily inserted.

10 (A) and 10 (B) show a cap of the fourth embodiment, in which the whisker-like projections 16 are in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid, and the long projections 16A with a large projection amount and the short projections 16B with a small projection amount are shown.

6B are alternately provided, and the short protrusion 16B and the long protrusion 16A are opposed to each other and protrude in the radial direction.

In the cap 10 of the fourth embodiment, the wire harness having a large diameter can be locked by pressing the tip of the short protrusion 16B while the long protrusion 16A is largely bent. On the other hand, in the case of a wire harness having a small diameter, the tip of the long protrusion 16A is slightly bent so that it can be pressed and locked. By providing the long protrusions 16A and the short protrusions 16B in this way, it is possible to accommodate wire harnesses having different diameters.

FIG. 11 shows a cap of the fifth embodiment, in which the protrusion amount of the whiskers is gradually increased from the open end 14 side of the cap 10 toward the closed end 13. By thus reducing the protrusion amount of the whiskers 16 on the side of the open end 14, as shown in FIG. 5, when inserting the wire harness, the initial insertion force can be reduced, and the wire harness can be easily inserted into the cap. . On the other hand, after the insertion is completed, the long whiskers 16 on the closed end side can strongly lock.

12A, 12B and 12C show the cap 10 of the sixth embodiment, in which the cap 10 is completely divided into two parts in the axial direction, and is a separate member. A lock mechanism is provided so that the same member can be used as. That is, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), a dividing member 20 having a shape obtained by dividing the cap into two is provided, and the dividing member 20 has a linear shape in its lengthwise direction on both the closed end side and the open end side. , On the dividing edge of the inner surface of the substantially semicircular shape,
Locking portions 21 and 22 that bulge from the inside to the upper surface position are provided facing each other. As shown in FIG. 12B, the locking portion 21 located at one of the divided edges is provided with a lock pin 23 so as to project into a lock portion 24, while the locking portion located at the other of the divided edges. 22 is provided with a lock hole 25 into which the lock pin 23 is press fitted, and a locked portion 26 is provided. Moreover, at one of the divided edges on the same side, the lock portion 24 is provided on the closed end side,
The locked portion 26 is provided on the open end side, and the locked portion 26 is provided on the closed end side and the lock portion 24 is provided on the open end side at the other divided edge.

When the lock mechanism is provided as described above, when the upper and lower members are joined together by using the same split member 20, the lock portion 24 and the locked portion 26 are located at opposite positions, and the same member is used as the upper and lower split members. Can be used. Further, since the lock mechanism is located on the inner peripheral surface of the cap and does not protrude to the outside, it is possible to prevent the lock portion protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cap from interfering with an external member during wiring of the wire harness.

FIGS. 13A, 13B and 13C show a modified example of the sixth embodiment. Instead of providing a lock portion and a locked portion on the divided end edge of the straight portion on the closed end side, the closed end is provided. A locking portion 30 shown in FIG. 13 (B) is provided at the end point on the side. The locking portion 30 has a lock hole 30a and a lock protrusion 30b press-fitted into the lock hole 30a. On the open end side of the cap 10, as in the sixth embodiment of FIG. 12, a lock portion 24 is provided on one divided edge and a locked portion 26 is provided on the other divided edge.

Even in the case of the shape shown in FIG. 13, the same dividing member 20 can be used as the upper and lower dividing members for locking. That is, in the locking portion 30 at the tip of the closed end, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (C), the lock protrusions 30b are press-fitted into and locked in the lock holes 30a. In this way, when the tip of the closed end is locked, the pressure contact area increases and the locking force can be increased, so that the tip of the cap can be reliably closed.

14 (A), (B), (C), and (D) show a cap of the seventh embodiment, in which the cap 10 is disposed at a substantially central portion in the lengthwise direction of the divided edge and is opposed to the radial direction. A pair of lock mechanisms 32 are provided. In FIG. 14 (B), the beard-like protrusion 16 is partially omitted to show the lock mechanism. In the cap, as shown in FIG. 14 (C), a lock portion 33 having a lock hole 33a is provided so as to project in the circumferential direction from the inner peripheral surface of one of the divided edges of the divided member 20, while the other divided edge is provided. The locked portion 34 that fits into the lock hole 33a from the inner surface of the
Is protruding. Therefore, the split member 2 made of the same member
When 0 is vertically joined, as shown in FIG. 14D, the lock portion 3 of the lower split member 20 is provided on one side of the split edge.
3 engages with the locked portion 34 of the upper split member 20, and on the other side, the upper locking portion 33 engages with the lower locked portion 34. Also in this seventh embodiment, since the lock mechanism is located on the inner peripheral surface of the cap and does not protrude from the outer peripheral surface,
There is an advantage that it does not interfere with external members.

[0038]

As is apparent from the above description, in the cap according to claim 1 of the present invention, the annular tip end of the wire harness inserted into the cap is pressed against the whiskers from a plurality of radial directions by whiskers. The whisker-like projections are sandwiched between the side edges of the annular tip while being pinched by the protrusions. The action of both of these whiskers causes the annular tip of the wire harness inserted into the cap. Is firmly locked, and the wire harness does not easily come out of the open end of the cap. On the other hand, when the cap is removed after the wire harness is routed, if the wire harness or the cap is strongly pulled in the direction of removing each other, the whiskers can be bent to remove the cap from the wire harness.

Therefore, since the tape winding for fixing the cap and the wire harness, which is conventionally required, can be omitted, the work for attaching the cap is simplified, and the tape needs to be torn when removing the cap. Because there is no cap, the work of removing the cap becomes easy. In addition, the amount of tape used can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced as well as the number of working steps. Further, the cap removed from the wire harness does not have the remaining pieces of the stripped tape as in the conventional case, and thus can be reused.

Further, in the cap according to the second aspect, since the cap is of a split type, the beard-shaped projections can be easily formed integrally with the cap. Also, if the annular tip of the wire harness is inserted with the cap divided, it is not necessary to insert it from the open end, and after inserting it into the lower divided part or the divided member from above, the upper divided part or divided member is joined. Then, when the cap is closed, the annular tip portion of the wire harness can be easily inserted into the cap. Also, at the time of removal, it can be easily removed by opening the divided portion of the cap.

Further, in the cap according to the third aspect, since the divided parts are connected through the thin hinge, the cap can be constructed by one member, and the handling becomes easy.

In the cap according to the fourth aspect, by adjusting the length of the whiskers, it is possible to adjust the locking force with respect to the annular tip of the wire harness to be inserted, and to cope with the difference in the diameter of the wire harness. can do.
