Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire harness manufacturing facility.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wire harness is, for example, a plurality of electric wires for transmitting electric signals, electric power, etc. between devices, which are arranged so that they can be connected to each device as needed, and each electric wire is covered with an outer casing material such as vinyl tape. Are bundled and fixed so that they do not scatter, and a connector for connecting to each device is provided at the end of the electric wire.
Normally, when assembling such a wire harness, the electric wire is flexible and cannot hold any shape as it is.Therefore, a wiring jig is used to wire the above electric wires and other parts to maintain a temporary shape. Use the wire harness assembly drawing board that is attached to the board.

For example, a conventional wire harness assembly drawing board is made of a veneer board or a metal board, and a jig mounting hole is formed on the surface for each type of wire harness, and a wiring jig or the like is inserted into the jig mounting hole. , Which are fixed with screws or the like (not shown).

[0004]

However, if the conventional wire harness assembly drawing board is a veneer board as described above, when the manufactured wire harness is changed in product type or design, the wire harness assembly drawing used once is obtained. Since it is difficult to re-use the plate by further providing a jig mounting hole, a new substrate is required, which causes a problem that the equipment cost increases. Also,
Applying a metal plate to the wiring harness assembly drawing board, jig mounting holes are preliminarily formed vertically and horizontally at regular intervals so that it can be used for any wire harness design, and the wiring jig can be repeatedly attached and detached. When it is formed, it is reusable, but its weight is considerably larger than that of the veneer board, and there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to move equipment such as setup change due to the type and design change of the wire harness.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to reduce the weight while maintaining sufficient strength as a manufacturing facility, and to cope with a change in the type of wire harness (product) or a design change. It is intended to provide a possible wiring harness assembly drawing board.

A wire harness assembly drawing board according to claim 1, wherein a honeycomb-shaped projection (1) is formed on at least one surface of a substrate (7), and a jig is attached to a hole (2) surrounded by the honeycomb-shaped projection (1). The hole 3 is formed, and the wiring jig 4 is provided in the jig mounting hole 3.
The honeycomb shape usually indicates a hexagonal honeycomb shape, but may be a polygon such as a triangle or a quadrangle, or a sine waveform. By forming the honeycomb-shaped projections 1 on the substrate 7, the mechanical strength of the substrate 7 is increased in comparison with a flat plate due to its structure. Further, by forming the jig mounting hole 3 in the hole portion 2 and providing the wiring jig 4 in the jig mounting hole 3, even if there are many kinds of wire harnesses to be manufactured, the wiring jig 4 can be manufactured.
Can be easily attached to and detached from any place on the substrate 7 by screwing or the like.

According to the wire harness assembly drawing board of claim 2,
The fixing part 4a of the wiring jig 4 is fitted in the hole portion 2. When the wiring jig 4 and the substrate 7 are fixed with screws, the fixed component 4a corresponds to, for example, a nut. The outer shape of the nut is not particularly limited,
Any shape and size that can be fitted in the hole 2 may be used. For example, if the hole 2 has a hexagonal shape, the nut may be a hexagonal shape and have substantially the same size or a slightly smaller nut. As described above, when the fixing component 4a of the wiring jig 4 is fitted into the hole 2, vibration or unexpected external force is transmitted to the wiring jig 4, and the screw loosens, causing a problem. This can be prevented. Further, even if the fixing component 4a is embedded in the hole 2, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

[0008]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the structure of an embodiment of a wire harness assembly drawing board according to the present invention. Among them, Figure 1
(A) shows the longitudinal cross-sectional view of a wire harness assembly drawing board. And FIG.1 (b) shows the front view of a wire harness assembly drawing board. Moreover, FIG.1 (c) shows the side view of a wiring harness assembly drawing board.

(Example 1) In this wiring harness assembly drawing board 10, a wiring jig 4 has a substantially Y-shaped outer shape as shown in FIG. It is bifurcated so that it can be temporarily fastened at the time of drawing, and a screw is formed at the other end in consideration of fixing to the substrate 7, and a fixing component 4a such as a nut is fitted to the screw and fixed to the substrate 7. The points are the same as the conventional ones. The outer shape of the wire laying jig 4 may be any shape as long as it can temporarily hold an electric wire during wiring.
It is not limited to the above-mentioned Y-shape.

As shown in FIG. 1, the wire harness assembly drawing board of the present invention has a honeycomb-shaped protrusion 1 formed on at least one surface of a substrate 7, and a jig is attached to a hole 2 surrounded by the honeycomb-shaped protrusion 1. The feature is that the hole 3 is formed and the wiring jig 4 is provided in the jig mounting hole 3.

The substrate 7 is preferably made of a material that is relatively inexpensive, lightweight and has good workability, for example, plastic. Also,
As shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 1 (c), the substrate 7 is formed with a connecting locking portion 7a which can connect and lock a plurality of substrates 7 near both ends of the substrate 7. By arranging and connecting a plurality of single substrates 7 side by side as shown in FIG. 2, it is considered that the degree of freedom in manufacturing the wire harness can be increased.

The above-mentioned honeycomb-shaped projection 1 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), a hexagonal honeycomb shape is desirable, and it is preferable to form the hexagonal honeycomb shape integrally with the substrate 7 at substantially the same height on one side of the substrate 7. Of course, they may not be integrated, but may be provided separately. Furthermore, if it is desired to increase the strength, the honeycomb-shaped protrusions 1 may be formed on both surfaces of the substrate 7. In addition,
The honeycomb-shaped protrusion 1 may be a quadrangle or a triangle as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). Alternatively, it may be a quadrangle, a polygon other than a triangle, or a sine waveform (not shown).

The jig mounting hole 3 is provided with the honeycomb-shaped projection 1.
It should be formed in a substantially central portion of the hole portion 2 surrounded by, and may have a size and a shape such that the fixed end of the wiring jig 4 can be inserted sufficiently. For example, a circular through hole as shown in FIG. desirable.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1A, the substrate 7

In the first embodiment, the fixing structure of the wire laying jig 4 and the substrate 7 is not limited to the above-described one, and although not shown, the jig mounting hole 3 and the fixed end of the wire laying jig 4 are not shown. Any fixing structure may be used as long as the two are securely fixed, such as forming a screw in which both are fitted and fixing them.

By forming the honeycomb-shaped projections 1 on the substrate 7 as described above, the mechanical strength of the substrate 7 increases, so that the weight of the substrate 7 can be reduced. Also,
Since the jig mounting holes 3 are vertically and horizontally formed on the board 7 at intervals suitable for the wire harness design, the wire harness assembly drawing board 10 can be used for manufacturing a variety of wire harnesses with one board 7. .
