Description
本発明は、例えば、自動車の床などの車体と、この車体に対しスライド自在に設けられたシートなどのスライド体とに亘ってワイヤハーネスを配索するワイヤハーネス配索装置に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a wire harness routing device for routing a wire harness across a vehicle body such as a floor of an automobile and a slide body such as a seat slidably provided on the vehicle body.
自動車には、車体としての乗員室の床などに対してスライド自在なスライド体としてのシートが設けられていることがある。また、前記シートには、例えば乗員が着座しているか否かを検出する着座センサ等の電子機器が取り付けられている。このため、前述したスライド自在なシートを有した自動車には、前記シートに取り付けられた電子機器と前記床に固定された電子機器とを接続するために、前記床と前記シートとに亘ってワイヤハーネスを配索する種々のワイヤハーネス配索装置が用いられてきた(例えば特許文献1を参照。)。
An automobile may be provided with a seat as a slide body that is slidable with respect to a floor of a passenger compartment as a vehicle body. In addition, an electronic device such as a seating sensor for detecting whether or not an occupant is seated is attached to the seat. For this reason, in order to connect the electronic device attached to the said sheet | seat and the electronic device fixed to the said floor to the motor vehicle which has the slidable sheet | seat mentioned above, a wire is passed over the said floor and the said sheet | seat. Various wire harness routing devices for routing a harness have been used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
例えば特許文献1に記載された上記ワイヤハーネス配索装置は、前記シートの足部を支持する支持体をスライド自在に取り付ける支持レールと平行に配置されたワイヤハーネスレールと、このワイヤハーネスレールにスライド自在に取り付けられかつ前記シートに連動してスライドするプロテクタと、を有している。前記支持レール及び前記ワイヤハーネスレールは、マットの下に配置されている。また、前記ワイヤハーネスレールは、ワイヤハーネスを取り付けた前記プロテクタをスライド自在に取り付けるプロテクタ移動部と、前記ワイヤハーネスの余長部分を収容する余長収容部と、を有している。前記プロテクタは、前記マットに設けられた切れ目を通されて乗員室側に突出しており、前記ワイヤハーネスの一端部を乗員室側に配置された前記シートに導く。
For example, the wire harness routing device described in Patent Document 1 includes a wire harness rail arranged in parallel with a support rail that slidably attaches a support that supports the foot portion of the seat, and slides on the wire harness rail. And a protector that is freely attached and slides in conjunction with the seat. The support rail and the wire harness rail are disposed below the mat. Moreover, the said wire harness rail has a protector moving part which attaches the said protector which attached the wire harness so that sliding is possible, and the surplus length accommodating part which accommodates the surplus length part of the said wire harness. The protector protrudes toward the passenger compartment through a slit provided in the mat, and guides one end of the wire harness to the seat disposed on the passenger compartment side.
このような従来のワイヤハーネス配索装置においては、部品点数が多く、大きな設置スペースが必要になる上に、当該ワイヤハーネス配索装置が取り付けられる自動車のマットに、前記支持体を乗員室側に突出させるための切れ目の他に、前記プロテクタを乗員室側に突出させるための切れ目を設ける必要があり、数多くの切れ目をマットに設けなければならないという問題があった。
In such a conventional wire harness routing device, the number of parts is large, a large installation space is required, and the support is placed on the passenger compartment side on the mat of the automobile to which the wire harness routing device is attached. In addition to the cuts for projecting, it is necessary to provide cuts for projecting the protector toward the passenger compartment, and there is a problem in that many cuts must be provided on the mat.
また、特許文献2に記載されたワイヤハーネス配索装置100は、図13に示すように、シート101の足部102を支持する支持体103と、この支持体103をスライド自在に取り付ける支持レール104と、ワイヤハーネス105の余長部分を渦巻状に巻き取った状態でハウジング107内に収容した巻取装置106と、を有している。
Further, as shown in FIG. 13, a wire harness routing device 100 described in Patent Document 2 includes a support body 103 that supports a foot portion 102 of a seat 101, and a support rail 104 that slidably mounts the support body 103. And a winding device 106 accommodated in a housing 107 in a state where the extra length of the wire harness 105 is wound in a spiral shape.
この巻取装置106のハウジング107の導出口107aから引き出されたワイヤハーネス105の一端部105aは、支持レール104の一端部に位置する開口部から当該支持レール104内に引き込まれるとともに当該支持レール104内を通され、支持体103の内部空間に装着されたガイドパイプ(不図示)の内側を通され、そして、支持体103に設けられた穴を通されて支持体103外に引き出され、足部102に接続されている。また、図13においては、前記マットは省略しているが、このマットには、支持レール104にスライド自在に取り付けられた支持体103を乗員室側に突出させるための切れ目が設けられている。
One end portion 105 a of the wire harness 105 drawn out from the outlet 107 a of the housing 107 of the winding device 106 is drawn into the support rail 104 through an opening located at one end portion of the support rail 104 and the support rail 104. It passes through the inside of a guide pipe (not shown) mounted in the internal space of the support body 103, passes through a hole provided in the support body 103, and is pulled out of the support body 103. Connected to the unit 102. In FIG. 13, the mat is omitted, but the mat is provided with a cut for projecting the support body 103 slidably attached to the support rail 104 toward the passenger compartment.
上記巻取装置106は、図14に示すように、ハウジング107と、リール132と、渦巻きスプリング133と、を有している。リール132は、ハウジング107の中央部に軸支されており、その中心部にはワイヤハーネス105の他端部105bが導出されて抜け止めされている。従って、ワイヤハーネス105は、リール132が一側に回転することでその外周面周りに巻き取られ、リール132が他側に回転することでその外周面周りから繰り出される。渦巻きスプリング133は、一端部がハウジング107に係止され、他端部がリール132に係止されている。この渦巻きスプリング133は、リール132を一側に回転させる付勢力を発生するためのものである。従って、ワイヤハーネス105は、この渦巻きスプリング133の付勢力によって巻き取られ、また、この付勢力に抗して繰り出されることで常に緊張状態に保持される。
As shown in FIG. 14, the winding device 106 includes a housing 107, a reel 132, and a spiral spring 133. The reel 132 is pivotally supported at the central portion of the housing 107, and the other end portion 105 b of the wire harness 105 is led out from the central portion to prevent the reel 132 from coming off. Accordingly, the wire harness 105 is wound around the outer peripheral surface when the reel 132 rotates to one side, and is fed out from the outer peripheral surface when the reel 132 rotates to the other side. One end of the spiral spring 133 is locked to the housing 107 and the other end is locked to the reel 132. The spiral spring 133 is for generating a biasing force that rotates the reel 132 to one side. Therefore, the wire harness 105 is wound up by the urging force of the spiral spring 133 and is always kept in a tensioned state by being drawn out against the urging force.
このようなワイヤハーネス配索装置100においては、支持レール104内にワイヤハーネス105を引き込むようにして、特許文献1に記載されたワイヤハーネスレールを省いているので、このワイヤハーネスレールの設置スペースが不要になる上に、マットに設けられる切れ目の数を少なくすることができる。
In such a wire harness routing device 100, the wire harness 105 described in Patent Document 1 is omitted by pulling the wire harness 105 into the support rail 104, so that the installation space for this wire harness rail is small. In addition to being unnecessary, the number of cuts provided in the mat can be reduced.
しかしながら、図13及び図14に示されたワイヤハーネス配索装置100は、上述したように非常に複雑な構成の巻取装置106が必要であるという問題があった。また、巻取装置106は、ハウジング107の一辺の寸法を、ハーネス105の渦巻状に巻き取られた部分の直径よりも小さくすることができず、さらに、リール132と渦巻きスプリング133の2段構造で厚みが必要となることから、大きな設置スペースが必要になるという問題があった。また、ワイヤハーネス配索装置100は、支持体103の内部空間に前記ガイドパイプを装着したり、支持体103に前記ガイドパイプから引き出されたハーネス105の一端部105aを通す前記穴(大きな穴)を設けなければならず、非常に複雑な構成の支持体103が必要であるという問題があった。また、前記ガイドパイプを支持体103に装着したり、装着されたガイドパイプにハーネス105を通す作業は、非常に煩雑で、容易に行える作業ではないという問題があった。
However, the wire harness routing device 100 shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 has a problem that the winding device 106 having a very complicated configuration is necessary as described above. Further, the winding device 106 cannot make the dimension of one side of the housing 107 smaller than the diameter of the portion of the harness 105 wound up in a spiral shape, and further has a two-stage structure of a reel 132 and a spiral spring 133. However, there is a problem that a large installation space is required because the thickness is required. Further, the wire harness routing device 100 attaches the guide pipe to the internal space of the support body 103, or passes the one end portion 105a of the harness 105 drawn from the guide pipe to the support body 103 (the large hole). There is a problem that the support body 103 having a very complicated configuration is necessary. In addition, the work of attaching the guide pipe to the support 103 or passing the harness 105 through the attached guide pipe is very complicated and not easy to perform.
したがって、本発明は、大きな設置スペースを必要とせず、かつ、簡素な構成のワイヤハーネス配索装置を提供することを目的とする。
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wire harness routing device that does not require a large installation space and has a simple configuration.
