Description

ワイヤーハーネスの組み付け方法及びワイヤーハーネスモジュールAssembly method of wire harness and wire harness module
　この発明は、分岐を有するワイヤーハーネスにおいて、分岐した枝線に設けられるコネクタを接続する技術に関する。 This invention relates to a technique for connecting a connector provided on a branched branch line in a wire harness having a branch.
　車両等に配設されるワイヤーハーネスは、複数の電線が幹線部から少なくとも１つの枝線部が分岐する態様で束ねられている場合がある。このようなワイヤーハーネスが例えば、特許文献１に開示されている。 In some cases, a wire harness disposed in a vehicle or the like is bundled in such a manner that a plurality of electric wires are branched from at least one branch line portion from the main line portion. Such a wire harness is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.
　特許文献１に記載のワイヤーハーネスは、分岐を両端部と１つの中間部とに集中させることで、ワイヤーハーネスのうち分岐以外の部分を直線状としてテープ等を巻回しやすくするものである。 The wire harness described in Patent Document 1 makes it easy to wind a tape or the like by concentrating the branch at both end portions and one intermediate portion so that the portion other than the branch of the wire harness is linear.
　また、特許文献２には、枠部と仕切部とを備え、複数のコネクタを所定の位置関係を維持した状態で保持可能なコネクタ保持用枠体が開示されている。 Patent Document 2 discloses a connector holding frame that includes a frame portion and a partition portion and can hold a plurality of connectors while maintaining a predetermined positional relationship.

　しかしながら、特許文献１に記載のワイヤーハーネスの場合、複数の枝線の端部にそれぞれ設けられたコネクタを、コネクタごとに別々にそれぞれの相手側コネクタに接続する必要があるため、作業工数の増加につながる恐れがあった。 However, in the case of the wire harness described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to connect the connectors provided at the ends of the plurality of branch lines to the respective mating connectors separately for each connector. There was a fear of leading to.
　また、特許文献２に記載のコネクタ保持用枠体では、コネクタに形成されている溝部をコネクタ保持用枠体への係止に使用しているが、当該溝部は本来、相手側コネクタとの接続に用いられるものである。このため、相手側コネクタとの接続の際には、コネクタをコネクタ保持用枠体から取り外さなければならない。従って、特許文献２に記載のコネクタ保持用枠体は、複数のコネクタを、所定位置を維持して一括して搬送することは可能であるが、一括して接続することはできない構成となっている。つまり、特許文献２に記載のコネクタ保持用枠体も、特許文献１に記載のワイヤーハーネスの場合と同様に、コネクタごとに別々にそれぞれの相手側コネクタに接続する必要があるため、作業工数の増加につながる恐れがあった。 Moreover, in the connector holding frame described in Patent Document 2, the groove formed in the connector is used for locking to the connector holding frame, but the groove is originally connected to the mating connector. It is used for. For this reason, when connecting with the counterpart connector, the connector must be removed from the connector holding frame. Therefore, the connector holding frame described in Patent Document 2 can transport a plurality of connectors in a batch while maintaining a predetermined position, but cannot be connected in a batch. Yes. That is, since the connector holding frame described in Patent Document 2 also needs to be connected to each counterpart connector separately for each connector, as in the case of the wire harness described in Patent Document 1, the number of work steps is reduced. There was a risk of an increase.
　そこで、本発明は、ワイヤーハーネスの製造工程から車両への組み付け工程にかけて、複数のコネクタの取り扱いにかかる作業を容易にすることができる技術を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of facilitating the work for handling a plurality of connectors from the manufacturing process of the wire harness to the assembly process to the vehicle.
　上記課題を解決するため、第１の態様に係るワイヤーハーネスの組み付け方法は、複数の電線が、幹線部から複数の枝線部が分岐する態様で束ねられたワイヤーハーネスを車両に組み付けるワイヤーハーネスの組み付け方法であって、（ａ）複数のコネクタを保持可能なコネクタ保持部材が図板上に固定されたものを準備する工程と、（ｂ）前記図板上で、前記枝線部の端部にそれぞれ設けられたコネクタを前記コネクタ保持部材に保持させるとともに、前記電線部分を配設経路に沿って配設し、前記コネクタ保持部材が取り付けられたままのワイヤーハーネスモジュールを製造する工程と、（ｃ）前記コネクタ保持部材を図板から取り外し、前記工程（ｂ）で製造された前記ワイヤーハーネスモジュールのうち前記電線部分を車両に配設するとともに、前記コネクタ保持部材に保持された複数の前記コネクタを一括して車両の複数の相手側コネクタに接続する工程と、を備える。 In order to solve the above-described problem, a method of assembling a wire harness according to a first aspect is a method of assembling a wire harness that is assembled in a vehicle in which a plurality of electric wires are bundled in a form in which a plurality of branch lines are branched from a main line.

　以下、実施形態に係るワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０について説明する。図１は、実施形態に係るワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０を示す斜視図である。図２は、実施形態に係るワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０を示す正面図である。 Hereinafter, the wire harness module 10 according to the embodiment will be described. Drawing 1 is a perspective view showing wire harness module 10 concerning an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the wire harness module 10 according to the embodiment.
　実施形態に係るワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０は、ワイヤーハーネス１２と、保護部材６０と、コネクタ保持部材２０とを備える。ワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０は、２輪車に搭載されてもよいし、４輪車等、他の種類の車両に搭載されてもよい。 The wire harness module 10 according to the embodiment includes a wire harness 12, a protection member 60, and a connector holding member 20. The wire harness module 10 may be mounted on a two-wheeled vehicle or may be mounted on another type of vehicle such as a four-wheeled vehicle.
　ワイヤーハーネス１２は、複数の電線が、幹線部１４から複数の枝線部１６が分岐する態様で束ねられている。 In the wire harness 12, a plurality of electric wires are bundled in such a manner that a plurality of branch lines 16 branch from the main line 14.
　電線は、芯線の外周に樹脂が押出被覆等されることで被覆部が形成された構成とされている。電線の端部（ここでは、枝線部１６の端部）にはコネクタ１８が設けられ、車両等の配設対象箇所に配設された状態で、車両等に搭載された各種電気機器同士を電気的に接続するものとして用いられる。なお、ワイヤーハーネス１２には、光ファイバ等が電線に沿って配設されていてもよい。 The electric wire has a configuration in which a covering portion is formed by extrusion coating of resin on the outer periphery of the core wire. A connector 18 is provided at the end of the electric wire (here, the end of the branch line portion 16). Used as an electrical connection. In the wire harness 12, an optical fiber or the like may be disposed along the electric wire.
　保護部材６０は、幹線部１４の周囲に取り付けられている。保護部材６０は、幹線部１４の少なくとも一部を保護可能である。ここでは、保護部材６０としてコルゲートチューブ６２が用いられている。 The protective member 60 is attached around the trunk portion 14. The protection member 60 can protect at least a part of the main line portion 14. Here, a corrugated tube 62 is used as the protective member 60.
　コルゲートチューブ６２は、環状凸部６４と環状凹部６６とが長手方向に沿って交互に連続する態様で形成されている。これにより、コルゲートチューブ６２は曲げ容易とされている。また、コルゲートチューブ６２は、内部にワイヤーハーネス１２を収容可能に設けられている。ここでは、コルゲートチューブ６２は、幹線部１４の長手方向に沿って、幹線部１４から枝線部１６が分岐する部分を挟むように分岐部分の前後に一対取り付けられている。コルゲートチューブ６２とワイヤーハーネス１２とは、その周囲にテープ等が巻回されることで固定されているとよい。 The corrugated tube 62 is formed in such a manner that the annular convex portions 64 and the annular concave portions 66 are alternately continued along the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the corrugated tube 62 is easily bent. Moreover, the corrugated tube 62 is provided so that the wire harness 12 can be accommodated therein. Here, a pair of corrugated tubes 62 are attached to the front and rear of the branch portion so as to sandwich the portion where the branch line portion 16 branches from the main line portion 14 along the longitudinal direction of the main line portion 14. The corrugated tube 62 and the wire harness 12 are preferably fixed by winding a tape or the like around them.
　もっとも、保護部材６０としてコルゲートチューブ６２が用いられることは必須ではなく、例えば、保護部材として、長手方向に沿って凹凸のない円筒状に形成され、コルゲートチューブ６２よりも剛性が大きく曲げにくい保護部材、いわゆる硬質チューブ等が用いられる場合もあり得る。また、保護部材として、角筒状に形成されると共に長手方向に沿ってリブが設けられ、曲げにくい形状に形成されたもの、或いは、上記リブが長手方向に沿って部分的になく、当該リブがない部分で曲げ容易とされたものなども考えられる。また、筒状に形成されたものの中間部分に枝線を引き出すための孔が設けられたものも考えられる。これらの場合でも、コネクタ保持部材に嵌め込むなどすることで固定することができる。 However, it is not essential that the corrugated tube 62 is used as the protective member 60. For example, the protective member is formed in a cylindrical shape having no irregularities along the longitudinal direction, and is more rigid and hard to bend than the corrugated tube 62. A so-called hard tube or the like may be used. Further, the protective member is formed in a rectangular tube shape and provided with a rib along the longitudinal direction, and is formed in a shape that is difficult to bend, or the rib is not partially along the longitudinal direction, and the rib It is also conceivable that it is easy to bend at the part where there is no. Moreover, the thing provided with the hole for drawing out a branch line in the intermediate part of what was formed in the cylinder shape is also considered. Even in these cases, it can be fixed by being fitted into the connector holding member.
　次に、コネクタ保持部材２０について、図１及び図２に加えて図３及び図４を交えて説明する。図３は、コネクタ１８を保持する前のコネクタ保持部材２０を示す斜視図である。図４は、コネクタ１８を保持した後のコネクタ保持部材２０を示す斜視図である。なお、図３及び図４は、図１とは反対側から見た斜視図である。 Next, the connector holding member 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 in addition to FIGS.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the connector holding member 20 after holding the connector 18. 3 and 4 are perspective views seen from the side opposite to FIG.
　コネクタ保持部材２０は、保持部４０と取付部３０とを含む。ここでは、保持部４０と取付部３０とが別体で形成されると共に着脱可能に係合している。さらにここでは、コネクタ保持部材２０は、図板固定部２２を含む。ここでは、図板固定部２２と取付部３０とが別体で形成されると共に着脱可能に係合している。 The connector holding member 20 includes a holding portion 40 and an attachment portion 30. Here, the holding part 40 and the attachment part 30 are formed separately and are detachably engaged. Furthermore, here, the connector holding member 20 includes a drawing plate fixing portion 22. Here, the figure board fixing | fixed part 22 and the attaching part 30 are formed separately, and are engaged so that attachment or detachment is possible.
　保持部４０は、複数の枝線部１６の端部にそれぞれ設けられた複数のコネクタ１８を一括接続可能な状態で保持可能に形成されている。ここでは、保持部４０は、枝線収容部４２と係合部４６とを含む。 The holding part 40 is formed so as to be able to hold the plurality of connectors 18 provided at the ends of the plurality of branch line parts 16 in a state where they can be connected together. Here, the holding part 40 includes a branch line accommodating part 42 and an engaging part 46.
　枝線収容部４２は、少なくとも１つの枝線部１６の入口４３と、複数の枝線部１６の出口４４とを有し、枝線部１６を収容可能に形成されている。ここでは、枝線収容部４２は、１つの入口４３と５つの出口４４を有しているものとして説明する。つまりここでは、入口４３から枝線収容部４２内に進入した枝線部１６が枝線収容部４２の内部で順次分岐し、５つの出口からそれぞれ出てくるように設けられている。 The branch line accommodating part 42 has an inlet 43 of at least one branch line part 16 and outlets 44 of the plurality of branch line parts 16 and is formed so as to accommodate the branch line part 16. Here, the branch line accommodation portion 42 will be described as having one inlet 43 and five outlets 44. That is, here, the branch line part 16 that has entered the branch line accommodation part 42 from the inlet 43 is sequentially branched inside the branch line accommodation part 42 and is provided so as to come out from five outlets, respectively.
　より具体的には、枝線収容部４２は、ここでは、四角筒状のうち周方向の一方が開口する樋状に形成されている。そして、枝線収容部４２の長手方向一端部に入口４３が設けられ、枝線収容部４２のうち入口４３が設けられた一端部から他端部に向けて長手方向に間隔をあけて５つの出口４４が設けられている。なお、ここでは、出口４４は入口４３が向いている方向に直交する方向を向くように設けられているが、このことは必須ではない。出口４４の向きは、コネクタ１８の配設箇所に応じて任意の向きに設定されていればよい。 More specifically, the branch line accommodation part 42 is here formed in a bowl shape in which one of the circumferential directions of the rectangular tube shape is open. In addition, an inlet 43 is provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the branch line accommodating portion 42, and five branches are spaced in the longitudinal direction from one end of the branch line accommodating portion 42 where the inlet 43 is provided to the other end. An outlet 44 is provided. In addition, although the exit 44 is provided so that it may face in the direction orthogonal to the direction where the entrance 43 is facing here, this is not essential. The direction of the outlet 44 may be set to an arbitrary direction according to the location of the connector 18.
　係合部４６は、枝線収容部４２の複数の出口４４にそれぞれ設けられている。ここでは、枝線収容部４２が５つの出口４４を有しているため、係合部４６も５つ設けられている。係合部４６は、枝線部１６の端部に設けられたコネクタ１８の基端部に外嵌め可能に形成されている。なお、ここでは、５つの係合部４６は、それぞれ異なるタイプのコネクタ１８に嵌合可能に形成されているが、少なくとも一部が同じタイプのコネクタ１８に嵌合可能に形成されていてもよい。 The engaging portion 46 is provided at each of the plurality of outlets 44 of the branch line accommodating portion 42. Here, since the branch line accommodating part 42 has the five exits 44, the five engaging parts 46 are also provided. The engaging portion 46 is formed so as to be able to be fitted on the base end portion of the connector 18 provided at the end portion of the branch line portion 16. Here, the five engaging portions 46 are formed so as to be able to be fitted to different types of connectors 18, but at least a part thereof may be formed to be able to be fitted to the same type of connectors 18. .
　より具体的には、係合部４６は、コネクタ収容部４７と係合片４８とを含む。 More specifically, the engaging portion 46 includes a connector housing portion 47 and an engaging piece 48.
　コネクタ収容部４７は、枝線収容部４２の出口４４に連なるように設けられている。コネクタ収容部４７は、枝線収容部４２と同様に周方向の一方が開口した樋状に形成され、その内面がコネクタ１８の基端部の外面に沿うように形成されている。 The connector housing portion 47 is provided so as to be connected to the outlet 44 of the branch wire housing portion 42. The connector housing portion 47 is formed in the shape of a bowl having one circumferential opening as in the branch wire housing portion 42, and the inner surface thereof is formed along the outer surface of the proximal end portion of the connector 18.
　係合片４８は、コネクタ収容部４７の壁部の一部の役割を担うと共に、その先端にコネクタ１８の外面の凹凸に嵌まる突起が設けられている。また、係合片４８は、外側に向けて広がるように弾性変形可能に形成されている。これにより、係合部４６に対して外側からコネクタ１８を近づけていくと、係合片４８が外側に広がるように弾性変形することでコネクタ１８の凸部が係合片４８の突起を通過可能となる。そして、コネクタ１８の凸部が係合片４８の突起を通過した後にコネクタ１８がコネクタ収容部４７に収まった状態で弾性変形していたものが元に戻ることで、コネクタ１８に係合部４６が外嵌めされた状態となる。 The engaging piece 48 serves as a part of the wall portion of the connector housing portion 47, and is provided with a protrusion that fits in the irregularities on the outer surface of the connector 18 at the tip. The engagement piece 48 is formed to be elastically deformable so as to spread outward. Thereby, when the connector 18 is brought closer to the engaging portion 46 from the outside, the protruding portion of the connector 18 can pass through the protrusion of the engaging piece 48 by elastically deforming so that the engaging piece 48 spreads outward. It becomes. Then, after the convex portion of the connector 18 passes through the protrusion of the engaging piece 48, the one that has been elastically deformed in a state in which the connector 18 is accommodated in the connector housing portion 47 returns to the original state, so Is in a state of being externally fitted.
　この際に、係合部４６は、コネクタ１８の基端部に外嵌めされているため、コネクタ１８の先端が相手側コネクタ９０と嵌合することを妨げない。これにより、係合部４６がコネクタ１８に外嵌めされた状態で、複数のコネクタ１８を一括して相手側コネクタ９０に接続することができる。 At this time, since the engaging portion 46 is externally fitted to the proximal end portion of the connector 18, it does not prevent the distal end of the connector 18 from fitting with the mating connector 90. Thereby, a plurality of connectors 18 can be connected to the mating connector 90 in a state where the engaging portion 46 is externally fitted to the connector 18.
　取付部３０は、保護部材６０に取り付け可能に形成されている。ここでは、取付部３０は、コルゲートチューブ６２の外周面の凹凸に対応する内周面を有する。取付部３０が、一方のコルゲートチューブ６２の外周面に嵌り込むことで、コネクタ保持部材２０が一方のコルゲートチューブ６２に取り付けられている。 The attachment part 30 is formed so that attachment to the protection member 60 is possible. Here, the attachment portion 30 has an inner peripheral surface corresponding to the unevenness of the outer peripheral surface of the corrugated tube 62. The connector holding member 20 is attached to one corrugated tube 62 by fitting the attachment portion 30 into the outer peripheral surface of the one corrugated tube 62.
　取付部３０の内周面は、周方向に１８０度より大きい領域（ここでは、２１０度分）で形成されている。これにより、取付部３０が、コルゲートチューブ６２の外周面に嵌り込んだ状態でコルゲートチューブ６２が取付部３０から外れにくくなる。 The inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion 30 is formed in a region larger than 180 degrees in the circumferential direction (here, 210 degrees). Accordingly, the corrugated tube 62 is unlikely to be detached from the mounting portion 30 in a state where the mounting portion 30 is fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the corrugated tube 62.
　つまり、ここでは、取付部３０の内周面に設けられた凸部３１がコルゲートチューブ６２の外周面の環状凹部６６に嵌まることでコルゲートチューブ６２が取付部３０に対してその長手方向に沿って移動することが抑制される。さらに、ここでは、取付部３０の内周面が周方向に２１０度分形成されていることにより、コルゲートチューブ６２が取付部３０に対してその径方向に沿って移動することが抑制される。 That is, here, the convex portion 31 provided on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion 30 is fitted into the annular concave portion 66 on the outer peripheral surface of the corrugated tube 62, so that the corrugated tube 62 extends along the longitudinal direction with respect to the mounting portion 30. Movement is suppressed. Further, here, the inner peripheral surface of the attachment portion 30 is formed by 210 degrees in the circumferential direction, so that the corrugated tube 62 is suppressed from moving along the radial direction with respect to the attachment portion 30.
　図板固定部２２は、ここでは、図板８０に設けられた保持部材用保持具８２に突設された棒状の突設部８２ｃを挿通可能な貫通孔２６が形成された板状部２４を含む。この貫通孔２６に図板８０に設けられた棒状の突設部８２ｃを挿通するとともに、保持部材用保持具８２に設けられた箱部８２ｂに図板固定部２２を収容することで、図板８０に図板固定部２２が固定された状態となる。 Here, the plate fixing portion 22 includes the plate-like portion 24 in which the through hole 26 into which the rod-like protruding portion 82c protruding from the holding member holder 82 provided on the drawing plate 80 can be inserted is formed. Including. By inserting the rod-shaped projecting portion 82 c provided on the drawing plate 80 into the through hole 26 and accommodating the drawing plate fixing portion 22 in the box portion 82 b provided on the holding member holder 82. The figure board fixing portion 22 is fixed to 80.
　ここで、取付部３０と保持部４０、及び、取付部３０と図板固定部２２とはそれぞれ、凸部と凸部に嵌まる凹部との組み合わせで着脱可能とされている。 Here, the attachment part 30 and the holding part 40, and the attachment part 30 and the drawing board fixing part 22 are each detachable by a combination of a convex part and a concave part that fits into the convex part.
　より詳細には、保持部４０のうち枝線収容部４２の入口４３付近の外周面であって、出口４４が設けられる側とは反対側を向く外周面から突出するように第１凸部４９が形成されている。そして、取付部３０の外周面であって、側方を向く面（側面）に第１凸部４９と嵌合する第１凹部３２が形成されている。ここでは、取付部３０の外周面から一対の嵌合片３４が互いに間隔をあけて平行に突出することで、一対の嵌合片３４の間の間隙が第１凹部３２となっている。 More specifically, the first convex portion 49 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 40 in the vicinity of the inlet 43 of the branch line accommodating portion 42 and facing the side opposite to the side where the outlet 44 is provided. Is formed. And the 1st recessed part 32 fitted to the 1st convex part 49 is formed in the outer peripheral surface of the attaching part 30, and the surface (side surface) which faces a side. Here, the pair of fitting pieces 34 protrudes in parallel from the outer peripheral surface of the attachment portion 30 with a space therebetween, so that the gap between the pair of fitting pieces 34 is the first recess 32.
　また、取付部３０の外周面であってコルゲートチューブ６２を嵌めるための開口とは反対側に位置する面（底面）の４隅から突出するように４つの第２凸部３６が形成されている。そして、図板固定部２２のうち、貫通孔２６が形成された板状部２４から突出する一対の突出部２８の先端面に第２凸部３６と嵌合可能な第２凹部がそれぞれ２つずつ形成されている。 Further, four second convex portions 36 are formed so as to protrude from the four corners of the surface (bottom surface) located on the outer peripheral surface of the attachment portion 30 and opposite to the opening for fitting the corrugated tube 62. . In the drawing plate fixing portion 22, there are two second concave portions that can be fitted to the second convex portions 36 on the tip surfaces of the pair of protruding portions 28 protruding from the plate-like portion 24 in which the through hole 26 is formed. It is formed one by one.
　もっとも、図板固定部２２が取付部３０と着脱可能に設けられていることは必須ではなく、図板固定部２２と取付部３０とは一体に形成され、着脱不能であってもよい。 However, it is not essential that the figure board fixing part 22 is provided so as to be detachable from the attachment part 30, and the figure board fixing part 22 and the attachment part 30 may be integrally formed and may not be detachable.

At this time, the plurality of connectors 18 provided at the end portions of the branch line portions 16 are collectively held by the holding portion 40 on the drawing plate 80, and the plurality of connectors 18 are collectively held by the holding portion 40. Transport and assemble as it is. Here, after manufacturing the wire harness module 10 which concerns on embodiment on the drawing board 80, what attaches the manufactured wire harness module 10 to a vehicle is demonstrated to an example.
　まず、図板８０上でワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０を製造する工程について説明する。 First, the process of manufacturing the wire harness module 10 on the drawing board 80 will be described.
　図板８０上でワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０を製造するには、最初に、複数のコネクタ１８を保持可能なコネクタ保持部材２０が図板８０上に固定されたものを準備する（工程（ａ））。次に、図板８０上で、枝線部１６の端部にそれぞれ設けられたコネクタ１８をコネクタ保持部材２０に保持させるとともに、電線部分を配設経路に沿って配設し、コネクタ保持部材２０が取り付けられたままのワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０を製造する（工程（ｂ））。 In order to manufacture the wire harness module 10 on the drawing board 80, first, a connector holding member 20 capable of holding a plurality of connectors 18 is fixed on the drawing board 80 (step (a)). Next, on the drawing board 80, the connector 18 provided at the end of the branch line portion 16 is held by the connector holding member 20, and the electric wire portion is arranged along the arrangement path. The wire harness module 10 is manufactured as is attached (step (b)).
　具体的には、図５に示されるように、図板８０上に配設経路に沿ってワイヤーハーネス１２を支持可能なＵ冶具８６が配置されるとともに、コネクタ保持部材２０を固定可能な保持部材用保持具８２が配置される。ここで、図板８０上での配設経路とは、実際の車両での配線経路に応じて決定され、一般的には、２次元に展開されたものである。そして、コネクタ保持部材２０を保持部材用保持具８２に固定するとともに、ワイヤーハーネス１２を構成するための電線又はサブアッシーを配設経路に沿って配設し、Ｕ冶具８６に支持させる。ここで、サブアッシーとは、完成品となるワイヤーハーネスよりも小さい形態である。ワイヤーハーネスを製造する際には、複数のサブアッシーに分けて製造し、そのサブアッシーを複数組み合わせてワイヤーハーネスの完成形態とする工法が採用される。サブアッシーの状態では、コネクタに挿入されていない端子が存在する場合もある。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, a U jig 86 capable of supporting the wire harness 12 is disposed on the drawing plate 80 along the arrangement path, and a holding member capable of fixing the connector holding member 20. A holding tool 82 is arranged. Here, the arrangement route on the drawing board 80 is determined according to the wiring route in the actual vehicle, and is generally developed two-dimensionally. Then, the connector holding member 20 is fixed to the holding member holder 82, and an electric wire or a sub-assembly for constituting the wire harness 12 is arranged along the arrangement path and supported by the U jig 86. Here, the sub-assembly is a form smaller than the wire harness that is the finished product. When manufacturing a wire harness, it is divided into a plurality of subassemblies, and a construction method is adopted in which a plurality of subassemblies are combined to form a completed wire harness. In the sub-assembly state, there may be a terminal that is not inserted into the connector.
　この際に、ここでは、コネクタ保持部材２０のうち図板固定部２２を、まず保持部材用保持具８２に固定する。ここでは、保持部材用保持具８２は、図板８０上に突設された棒治具８２ａと、棒治具８２ａの先端上に設けられた箱部８２ｂと、箱部８２ｂの底面から突設され、図板固定部２２に形成された貫通孔２６に挿通可能な突設部とを含む。そして、箱部８２ｂに図板固定部２２を収めるとともに、突設部８２ｃを貫通孔２６に通すことで図板固定部２２が図板８０上に固定された状態となる。なお、突設部８２ｃの先端にねじが切られ、突設部８２ｃを貫通孔２６に挿通した状態でさらにナットが通されることで図板固定部２２がねじ止めされる構成であってもよい。 At this time, here, the board fixing portion 22 of the connector holding member 20 is first fixed to the holding member holder 82. Here, the holding member holder 82 projects from a bar jig 82a projecting on the drawing plate 80, a box part 82b provided on the tip of the bar jig 82a, and a bottom surface of the box part 82b. And a projecting portion that can be inserted into the through hole 26 formed in the figure plate fixing portion 22. Then, the figure plate fixing portion 22 is housed in the box portion 82b and the protruding portion 82c is passed through the through hole 26, whereby the figure plate fixing portion 22 is fixed on the figure plate 80. In addition, even if it is the structure by which a screw is cut at the front-end | tip of the protrusion part 82c, and the figure board fixing | fixed part 22 is screwed by passing a nut further in the state which penetrated the protrusion part 82c to the through-hole 26. Good.
　図６は、図板８０上でワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０が完成した状態を示す斜視図である。この状態にするには、図７に示されるように、図板８０上に固定された図板固定部２２に取付部３０を嵌めるとともに、取付部３０に保持部４０を嵌める。さらに、保持部４０に枝線部１６の端部に設けられたコネクタ１８を嵌めるとともに、取付部３０に幹線部１４の周囲に取り付けられたコルゲートチューブ６２を嵌める。これにより、図６に示されるような状態となり、ワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０が完成となる。 FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which the wire harness module 10 is completed on the drawing board 80. To achieve this state, as shown in FIG. 7, the attachment portion 30 is fitted to the drawing plate fixing portion 22 fixed on the drawing plate 80, and the holding portion 40 is fitted to the attachment portion 30. Further, the connector 18 provided at the end of the branch line portion 16 is fitted into the holding portion 40, and the corrugated tube 62 attached around the main line portion 14 is fitted into the attachment portion 30. Thereby, it will be in a state as shown in FIG. 6, and the wire harness module 10 will be completed.
　より詳細には、ワイヤーハーネス１２を構成する電線又はサブアッシーが配設経路に沿って配設された図５のような状態で、分岐部のコネクタ１８に枝線部１６の端部の端子を挿入する。これと同時に又は前後して、コネクタ保持部材２０を所定の位置にセットするとともに、コネクタ１８をコネクタ保持部材２０に取り付ける。こののち、電線を束ねる、コルゲートチューブ６２を幹線部１４に取り付ける、及び、コルゲートチューブ６２をコネクタ保持部材に保持させる等の作業を行うことで、図板８０上でワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０が完成する。 More specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 5 in which the electric wires or sub-assemblies constituting the wire harness 12 are arranged along the arrangement path, the terminal at the end of the branch line portion 16 is connected to the connector 18 at the branch portion. insert. Simultaneously or before and after this, the connector holding member 20 is set at a predetermined position, and the connector 18 is attached to the connector holding member 20. After that, the wire harness module 10 is completed on the drawing board 80 by performing operations such as bundling electric wires, attaching the corrugated tube 62 to the main line 14, and holding the corrugated tube 62 on the connector holding member.
　もっとも、図板固定部２２に取付部３０が嵌った状態で、図板固定部２２を図板８０上に固定してもよい。この際に、保持部４０は、取付部３０に嵌っていてもよいし嵌っていなくてもよい。また、取付部３０にコルゲートチューブ６２が嵌った状態で、取付部３０を図板固定部２２に嵌めてもよい。また、保持部４０がコネクタ１８を保持した状態で、保持部４０を取付部３０に嵌めてもよい。図板８０上への図板固定部２２の固定からワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０の完成までの工程は順不同で行うことが可能である。 However, the drawing plate fixing portion 22 may be fixed on the drawing plate 80 in a state in which the attachment portion 30 is fitted to the drawing plate fixing portion 22. At this time, the holding part 40 may or may not fit into the attachment part 30. Further, the attachment portion 30 may be fitted to the drawing plate fixing portion 22 in a state where the corrugated tube 62 is fitted to the attachment portion 30. Further, the holding part 40 may be fitted to the attachment part 30 in a state where the holding part 40 holds the connector 18. The steps from the fixing of the drawing plate fixing portion 22 onto the drawing plate 80 to the completion of the wire harness module 10 can be performed in any order.
　ワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０が完成したら、次に車両への組み付け工程に移る。具体的には、コネクタ保持部材２０を図板８０から取り外し、工程（ｂ）で製造されたワイヤーハーネスモジュール１０のうち電線部分を車両に配設するとともに、コネクタ保持部材２０に保持された複数のコネクタ１８を一括して車両の複数の相手側コネクタ９０に接続する（工程（ｃ））。 Once the wire harness module 10 is completed, the process moves to the vehicle assembly process. Specifically, the connector holding member 20 is removed from the drawing plate 80, the electric wire portion of the wire harness module 10 manufactured in the step (b) is disposed in the vehicle, and a plurality of pieces held by the connector holding member 20 are provided. The connectors 18 are collectively connected to a plurality of counterpart connectors 90 of the vehicle (step (c)).
