Description

クランプ及びクランプ付電線Clamp and electric wire with clamp
 この発明は、電線又は電線に取付けられた外装部品を識別可能にする技術に関する。 The present invention relates to a technique that makes it possible to identify an electric wire or an exterior part attached to the electric wire.
 電線又は電線に取付けられた外装部品を識別可能にする技術が、例えば、特許文献1及び特許文献2に開示されている。 For example, Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 disclose a technique that makes it possible to identify an electric wire or an exterior part attached to the electric wire.
 特許文献1に記載のタグ付き束線具は、電線を束線する束線具にICタグが装着されることで当該タグ付き束線具に束ねられた電線に識別情報を付与するとされる。 In the bundled wire fitting with a tag described in Patent Literature 1, identification information is given to the electric wire bundled in the bundled wire bundle with the tag by attaching the IC tag to the bundled wire bundle that bundles the electric wires.
 また、特許文献2に記載の識別情報付きケーブルは、ICタグ付きのテープ状の担体をケーブルに巻付けることでケーブルに識別情報を付与するとされる。 Further, the cable with identification information described in Patent Document 2 is given identification information to the cable by winding a tape-shaped carrier with an IC tag around the cable.

 ここで、通常、ICタグに含まれるアンテナには指向性があることによって、ICタグには検出しにくい方向が存在する場合がある。 Here, the antenna included in the IC tag usually has directivity, so that there are cases where the IC tag has a direction that is difficult to detect.
 例えば、特許文献1に記載のタグ付き束線具では、ICタグが一つしか設けられていないため、束線具の向きによっては、特定の方向からの検出に対して検出されない場合があり得る。 For example, in the bundled wire fitting with a tag described in Patent Document 1, since only one IC tag is provided, it may not be detected for detection from a specific direction depending on the direction of the bundled wire fitting. .
 また、特許文献2に記載のICタグ付きの担体では、ケーブルの周囲に巻いた場合でもケーブルの太さとテープの延在方向に対するICタグの間隔との関係性によっては、ケーブルの周方向に同じ位置にICタグが位置してしまうことで、複数のICタグが同様の指向性を呈してしまい、特定の方向からの検出に対して検出されない場合があり得る。これを回避するには、ケーブルの太さによって別種類のICタグ付きの担体を使い分ける必要が有る。 Further, in the carrier with an IC tag described in Patent Document 2, even when wound around the cable, depending on the relationship between the thickness of the cable and the interval of the IC tag with respect to the extending direction of the tape, the same in the circumferential direction of the cable If the IC tag is located at a position, a plurality of IC tags may exhibit the same directivity and may not be detected with respect to detection from a specific direction. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to use different types of carriers with IC tags depending on the thickness of the cable.
 そこで、本発明は、電線又は電線に取付けられた外装部品の識別情報をなるべく簡易な構成でなるべく多くの方向から識別可能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 identifying identification information of an electric wire or an exterior part attached to the electric wire from as many directions as possible with as simple a configuration as possible.

 {第1実施形態}
 以下、第1実施形態に係るクランプ及びクランプ付電線について説明する。図1は、第1実施形態に係るクランプ20を示す斜視図である。図2は、第1実施形態に係るクランプ付電線10を示す正面図である。
{First embodiment}
Hereinafter, the clamp and electric wire with a clamp concerning a 1st embodiment are explained. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a clamp 20 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the clamped electric wire 10 according to the first embodiment.
 第1実施形態に係るクランプ20は、電線12に取付けられ、電線12を車両のパネル90等の取付対象物に固定するための部材である。クランプ20は、形状の似たものも多いため、取付ミスなどの不具合も多く発生している。このため、その識別を簡易に行うことは、製造効率を向上させる上で有用となる。ここでは、クランプ20は、ICタグが設けられることで、その識別を容易に行えるようになっている。具体的には、クランプ20は、クリップ部22と、ICタグ60とを備える。 The clamp 20 according to the first embodiment is a member that is attached to the electric wire 12 and that fixes the electric wire 12 to an attachment object such as a vehicle panel 90. Since many clamps 20 are similar in shape, there are many problems such as mounting mistakes. For this reason, it is useful to improve the manufacturing efficiency to perform the identification easily. Here, the clamp 20 is provided with an IC tag so that it can be easily identified. Specifically, the clamp 20 includes a clip portion 22 and an IC tag 60.
 <クリップ部>
 クリップ部22は、電線12に取付可能に、且つ、電線12に取付けられた状態で車両のパネル90等の取付対象物に係止可能に設けられている。具体的には、クリップ部22は、係止部30とハーネス取付部40とを含む。
<Clip part>
The clip part 22 is provided so that it can be attached to the electric wire 12 and can be locked to an attachment object such as a panel 90 of the vehicle while being attached to the electric wire 12. Specifically, the clip portion 22 includes a locking portion 30 and a harness attachment portion 40.
 係止部30は、取付対象物に係止可能に形成されている。具体的には、ここでは、係止部30は、パネル90等の取付対象物に形成された取付孔に挿入可能に、かつ、挿入後に係止可能に形成されている。より具体的には、係止部30は、皿部32と係止片36とを含む。 The latching part 30 is formed so as to be latched to the attachment object. Specifically, here, the locking portion 30 is formed so that it can be inserted into an attachment hole formed in an attachment object such as the panel 90 and can be locked after insertion. More specifically, the locking part 30 includes a dish part 32 and a locking piece 36.
 皿部32は、皿バネ状に形成されている。より具体的には、皿部32は、底部33と胴部34とを含む。底部33は、長円形の平板状に形成され、その主面がハーネス取付部40の後述する基板部42の一方主面に接するように設けられている。胴部34は、底部33の外縁から外方に向けて広がるように傾斜しつつ突出している。胴部34の外縁は、取付対象物に形成された取付孔よりも大きく設定されている。係止部30が取付孔に係止した状態で、胴部34の外縁は、取付孔の周縁に当接可能に形成されている。 The dish part 32 is formed in a disk spring shape. More specifically, the dish part 32 includes a bottom part 33 and a body part 34. The bottom portion 33 is formed in an oval flat plate shape, and is provided so that its main surface is in contact with one main surface of a substrate portion 42 described later of the harness mounting portion 40. The trunk portion 34 protrudes while inclining so as to spread outward from the outer edge of the bottom portion 33. The outer edge of the trunk | drum 34 is set larger than the attachment hole formed in the attachment target object. In a state where the locking portion 30 is locked to the mounting hole, the outer edge of the body portion 34 is formed so as to be able to contact the peripheral edge of the mounting hole.
 係止片36は、取付孔に挿入可能であり、挿入後に抜止可能な形状に形成されている。より具体的には、係止片36は、棒状部37と、羽部38とを含む。 The locking piece 36 can be inserted into the mounting hole and is formed in a shape that can be removed after insertion. More specifically, the locking piece 36 includes a rod-shaped portion 37 and a wing portion 38.
 棒状部37は、底部33(ここでは、底部33の中心)から底部33の主面に直交する態様で延びるように形成されている。棒状部37は、係止部30が取付孔に係止した状態で取付孔の内側に位置する部分を含む。羽部38は、棒状部37の先端から底部33側へ向かって傾斜する態様で延びるように一対形成されている。 The rod-shaped portion 37 is formed so as to extend from the bottom portion 33 (here, the center of the bottom portion 33) in a manner orthogonal to the main surface of the bottom portion 33. The rod-shaped portion 37 includes a portion located inside the mounting hole in a state where the locking portion 30 is locked to the mounting hole. A pair of wing portions 38 are formed so as to extend in a manner inclined from the tip of the rod-shaped portion 37 toward the bottom 33 side.
 一対の羽部38の先端側には、段差部が設けられている。当該段差部の基端側部分に、一対の羽部38の外向き面の間隔が最大となる部分(最外寸部)が設けられており、当該最外寸部の間隔は、取付孔よりも大きく設定されている。また、一対の羽部38は、最外寸部の間隔が取付孔以下となるように弾性変形可能に形成されている。 A stepped portion is provided on the tip side of the pair of wing portions 38. The base end side portion of the stepped portion is provided with a portion (outermost dimension portion) in which the distance between the outward faces of the pair of wing portions 38 is maximized. The distance between the outermost dimension portions is greater than the mounting hole. Is also set larger. Further, the pair of wing portions 38 are formed to be elastically deformable so that the distance between the outermost dimension portions is equal to or less than the attachment hole.
 係止部30を取付孔に挿入させていくと、最外寸部の間隔が小さくなるように羽部38が弾性変形しつつ、取付孔内を進んでいく。そして、最外寸部が取付孔を抜けると、羽部38が弾性復帰し始め、段差部が取付孔を抜けることで段差部が取付孔の周縁に引っ掛かる。これにより、係止部30を取付孔から抜こうとしても、段差部が取付孔の周縁に引っ掛かることによって、移動不可となる。また、この状態で、さらに係止部30を取付孔に挿入させようとすると、胴部34が取付孔の周縁に引っ掛かり、移動不可となる。以上により、係止部30が取付孔に係止した状態となり、これを以て、クリップ部22がパネル90に取り付けられた状態となる。 When the locking portion 30 is inserted into the mounting hole, the wing portion 38 is elastically deformed so that the interval between the outermost dimension portions is reduced, and proceeds in the mounting hole. Then, when the outermost dimension part passes through the attachment hole, the wing part 38 begins to return elastically, and the step part is caught on the periphery of the attachment hole by passing through the attachment hole. Thereby, even if it is going to extract the latching | locking part 30 from an attachment hole, a level | step-difference part will be hooked on the periphery of an attachment hole, and it will become immovable. In this state, if the locking portion 30 is further inserted into the mounting hole, the body portion 34 is caught on the periphery of the mounting hole and cannot be moved. Thus, the locking portion 30 is locked in the mounting hole, and the clip portion 22 is mounted on the panel 90.
 ハーネス取付部40は、係止部30に連なる。ハーネス取付部40は、電線12に取付け可能に形成されている。具体的には、ここでは、ハーネス取付部40は、板状に形成され、テープ72等の結束部材により電線12と共に結束されることで電線12に固定される。より具体的には、ハーネス取付部40は、基板部42と突出部44とを含む。 The harness mounting portion 40 is continuous with the locking portion 30. The harness attachment part 40 is formed so that attachment to the electric wire 12 is possible. Specifically, here, the harness attachment portion 40 is formed in a plate shape, and is fixed to the electric wire 12 by being bound together with the electric wire 12 by a binding member such as a tape 72. More specifically, the harness attachment part 40 includes a substrate part 42 and a protruding part 44.
 基板部42は、略長方形板状に形成されている。基板部42の一方主面に係止部30が設けられている。 The substrate part 42 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape. A locking portion 30 is provided on one main surface of the substrate portion 42.
 ハーネス取付部40の突出部44は、基板部42から側方に突出するように形成されている。突出部44は、テープ72等の結束部材により電線12と共に結束される部分である。ここでは、突出部44は、基板部42から両側方に突出するように設けられているが、このことは必須ではない。突出部44は、基板部42から一側方に突出するように形成されていてもよい。 The protruding portion 44 of the harness mounting portion 40 is formed so as to protrude sideways from the substrate portion 42. The protruding portion 44 is a portion that is bound together with the electric wire 12 by a binding member such as the tape 72. Here, the protruding portion 44 is provided so as to protrude from the substrate portion 42 to both sides, but this is not essential. The protruding portion 44 may be formed to protrude from the substrate portion 42 to one side.
 <ICタグ60>
 次に、ICタグ60について説明する。ICタグ60には、識別情報が保存されている。そして、ICタグ60に保存された当該識別情報は、検出器80(リーダ又はリーダライタ等)によって取出し可能である。
<IC tag 60>
Next, the IC tag 60 will be described. Identification information is stored in the IC tag 60. The identification information stored in the IC tag 60 can be taken out by a detector 80 (reader or reader / writer).
 ここで、ICタグ60を検出器80で検出する様子を、図3を用いて説明する。図3は、ICタグ60を検出器80で検出する様子を説明する説明図である。 Here, how the IC tag 60 is detected by the detector 80 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining how the IC tag 60 is detected by the detector 80.
 ICタグ60は、ICチップ62とアンテナ64とを含む。検出器80は、制御部82とアンテナ84とを含む。 The IC tag 60 includes an IC chip 62 and an antenna 64. Detector 80 includes a control unit 82 and an antenna 84.
 検出器80によってICタグ60内に保存された情報を取り出すに当たって、まずは、検出器80のアンテナ84から情報を電波又は磁界に乗せて送信する。ICタグ60のアンテナ64が、検出器80からのこの電波又は磁界を受信すると、誘導起電力が発生する又は共振することによりICタグ60内に電力が生じる。この電力によりICチップ62で必要な処理を行った後、ICチップ62に保存された情報をアンテナ64から電波又は磁界に乗せて発信する。そして、検出器80のアンテナ84がこの電波又は磁界を受信し、制御部82で必要な処理を行うことで、ICチップ62に保存された情報を取り出すことができる。 In taking out the information stored in the IC tag 60 by the detector 80, first, the information is transmitted from the antenna 84 of the detector 80 on a radio wave or a magnetic field. When the antenna 64 of the IC tag 60 receives this radio wave or magnetic field from the detector 80, an induced electromotive force is generated or resonates to generate electric power in the IC tag 60. After the necessary processing is performed in the IC chip 62 by this electric power, information stored in the IC chip 62 is transmitted from the antenna 64 on a radio wave or a magnetic field. Then, the antenna 84 of the detector 80 receives this radio wave or magnetic field, and the control unit 82 performs necessary processing, whereby information stored in the IC chip 62 can be extracted.
 なお、ICタグ60及び検出器80間で使用する周波数は、135kHz帯でもよいし、13.56MHz帯でもよいし、2.45GHz帯でもよい。また、UHF帯(860~960MHz)でもよい。例えば、ワイヤーハーネスを一方向から検査する時等に想定されるICタグ60と検出器80との距離に応じて設定されるとよい。この際、電波の伝達方式は、通常、上記周波数によって異なる。一例としては、135kHz帯又は13.56MHz帯の場合、電磁誘導方式が採用され、UHF帯又は2.45GHz帯の場合、電波方式が採用される。 The frequency used between the IC tag 60 and the detector 80 may be a 135 kHz band, a 13.56 MHz band, or a 2.45 GHz band. Further, the UHF band (860 to 960 MHz) may be used. For example, it may be set according to the distance between the IC tag 60 and the detector 80 assumed when the wire harness is inspected from one direction. At this time, the radio wave transmission method usually varies depending on the frequency. As an example, the electromagnetic induction method is adopted for the 135 kHz band or 13.56 MHz band, and the radio wave method is adopted for the UHF band or 2.45 GHz band.
 以下、ICタグ60について詳述する。 Hereinafter, the IC tag 60 will be described in detail.
 ICチップ62は、識別情報を保存すると共に、情報を処理する部分である。ICチップ62は、例えば、情報を記憶するためのメモリと、検出器80との通信を制御するための制御回路とを含む。ICチップ62に保存される識別情報としては、例えば、当該ICチップ62を含むICタグ60が取り付けられるクランプ20の識別情報であることが考えられる。より詳細には、クランプ20を含むワイヤーハーネスにおいて、当該クランプ20の種類(例えば、品番及び製造履歴)と当該クランプ20の車両における取付位置(つまり、ワイヤーハーネスにおける取付位置)とを対応付けた識別情報、さらには、ワイヤーハーネス本体の識別情報及び製造履歴などであることが考えられる。 The IC chip 62 is a part that stores the identification information and processes the information. The IC chip 62 includes, for example, a memory for storing information and a control circuit for controlling communication with the detector 80. The identification information stored in the IC chip 62 may be, for example, the identification information of the clamp 20 to which the IC tag 60 including the IC chip 62 is attached. More specifically, in the wire harness including the clamp 20, the identification of the type of the clamp 20 (for example, the product number and the manufacturing history) and the mounting position of the clamp 20 in the vehicle (that is, the mounting position in the wire harness). It may be information, and further, identification information and manufacturing history of the wire harness body.
 アンテナ64は、ICチップ62に接続されている。アンテナ64は、上記電波又は磁界の送受信を行う部分である。アンテナ64は、エッチング方式又は印刷方式等の公知の手段で形成されていればよい。 The antenna 64 is connected to the IC chip 62. The antenna 64 is a part that transmits and receives the radio wave or magnetic field. The antenna 64 may be formed by a known means such as an etching method or a printing method.
 ここで、アンテナ64には、通常、指向性が存在する。指向性とは、電波又は磁界の放射方向と放射強度との関係を表すものである。アンテナ64の指向性に関し、本明細書中においてアンテナ64からの放射強度が最大となる方向を最大放射方向と呼ぶものとする。なお、1つのアンテナ64における最大放射方向は、アンテナ64の形状によっては多方向に及ぶ場合もあり得る。 Here, the antenna 64 usually has directivity. The directivity represents the relationship between the radiation direction of radio waves or magnetic fields and the radiation intensity. Regarding the directivity of the antenna 64, the direction in which the radiation intensity from the antenna 64 is maximum is referred to as the maximum radiation direction in this specification. Note that the maximum radiation direction of one antenna 64 may extend in multiple directions depending on the shape of the antenna 64.
 アンテナ64の指向性は、アンテナ64の形状により異なる。アンテナ64の形状としては、例えば、導体線が環状のコイル状に巻かれた形状、いわゆるループアンテナ、又は、ダイポールアンテナ等が考えられる。アンテナ64の形状は、上記周波数等に応じて適宜設定されていればよい。 The directivity of the antenna 64 varies depending on the shape of the antenna 64. As the shape of the antenna 64, for example, a shape in which a conductor wire is wound in an annular coil shape, a so-called loop antenna, or a dipole antenna can be considered. The shape of the antenna 64 may be set as appropriate according to the frequency and the like.
 なお、ここでは、ICタグ60は円板状に形成されているが、このことは必須ではない。ICタグは、角形板状等、クリップ部22のうち取り付けられる部分に応じた形状に形成されていればよい。 Here, the IC tag 60 is formed in a disc shape, but this is not essential. The IC tag should just be formed in the shape according to the part attached among the clip parts 22, such as square plate shape.
 ICタグ60は、クリップ部22に複数設けられている。複数のICタグ60は、それぞれのアンテナ64の最大放射方向が交差(ここでは、直交)する態様でクリップ部22に設けられている。ここでは、2つのICタグ60がクリップ部22に設けられている。2つのICタグ60は同じ検出器80で検出可能に設定されているとよい。これにより、検出器80を変えて検査する必要がなくなる。また、2つのICタグ60のアンテナ64は、同形状に設定されているとよい。これにより、ICタグ60をクリップ部22に取り付ける際の最大放射方向の設定等が容易になる。また、2つのICタグ60は、クランプ20に関する同じ識別情報を有しているとよい。 A plurality of IC tags 60 are provided in the clip portion 22. The plurality of IC tags 60 are provided in the clip portion 22 in such a manner that the maximum radiation directions of the respective antennas 64 intersect (here, orthogonal). Here, two IC tags 60 are provided in the clip portion 22. The two IC tags 60 are preferably set to be detectable by the same detector 80. This eliminates the need to change the detector 80 for inspection. The antennas 64 of the two IC tags 60 are preferably set to the same shape. This facilitates setting of the maximum radiation direction when the IC tag 60 is attached to the clip portion 22. Further, the two IC tags 60 may have the same identification information regarding the clamp 20.
 ここで、ICタグ60をクリップ部22に固定するには、例えば、貼付けが考えられる。即ち、ICタグ60の一面に両面テープを貼り付ける又は接着剤等を塗布することでICタグ60のうち両面テープが貼り付けられた面又は接着剤が塗布された面をクリップ部22に貼り付けることが考えられる。または、ICタグ60よりも大きい片面テープにICタグ60を貼り付けたうえで、当該ICタグ60付きの片面テープをクリップ部22に貼り付けることが考えられる。ICタグ60がクリップ部22に貼り付けられていると、ICタグ60をクリップ部22に容易に設けることができる。 Here, in order to fix the IC tag 60 to the clip part 22, for example, pasting is conceivable. That is, a surface of the IC tag 60 to which the double-sided tape is applied or a surface to which the adhesive is applied is attached to the clip portion 22 by applying a double-sided tape on one surface of the IC tag 60 or applying an adhesive or the like. It is possible. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the IC tag 60 is attached to a single-sided tape larger than the IC tag 60 and then the single-sided tape with the IC tag 60 is attached to the clip portion 22. When the IC tag 60 is attached to the clip part 22, the IC tag 60 can be easily provided on the clip part 22.
 また、ICタグ60をクリップ部22に固定するに当たり、例えば、ICタグ60をクリップ部22に埋め込むことが考えられる。ICタグ60をクリップ部22に埋め込むには、例えば図5に示すように、クリップ部22に設けられた窪み22hにICタグ60を配設した状態で樹脂70又は接着剤等によってモールドすることが考えられる。ICタグ60がクリップ部22に埋め込まれるように設けられていると、ICタグ60がクリップ部22から外れにくい。 Further, when the IC tag 60 is fixed to the clip part 22, for example, the IC tag 60 can be embedded in the clip part 22. In order to embed the IC tag 60 in the clip portion 22, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the IC tag 60 is molded in a recess 22 h provided in the clip portion 22 with a resin 70 or an adhesive. Conceivable. If the IC tag 60 is provided so as to be embedded in the clip portion 22, the IC tag 60 is unlikely to be detached from the clip portion 22.
 ここでは、2つのICタグ60は、それぞれのアンテナ64の最大放射方向が直交するように設けられている。さらにここでは、アンテナ64の最大放射方向が係止部30の挿入方向と一致するようにクリップ部22に設けられている。 Here, the two IC tags 60 are provided so that the maximum radiation directions of the respective antennas 64 are orthogonal to each other. Further, here, the clip portion 22 is provided so that the maximum radiation direction of the antenna 64 coincides with the insertion direction of the locking portion 30.
 具体的には、2つのICタグ60のうち一方を棒状部37の先端面に設けられた窪み37hに取り付けると共に、他方を基板部42の底面(電線側を向く面)に取り付ける。この際、2つのICタグ60のうちどちらか一方の最大放射方向が取付孔に対する係止部30の挿入方向(つまり、ここでは棒状部37の底部33からの延在方向)と一致するように設けられる。そして、2つのICタグ60のうち残った方の最大放射方向が係止部30の挿入方向と直交するように設けられる。 Specifically, one of the two IC tags 60 is attached to a recess 37 h provided on the tip surface of the rod-shaped portion 37, and the other is attached to the bottom surface (surface facing the electric wire side) of the substrate portion 42. At this time, the maximum radiation direction of one of the two IC tags 60 coincides with the insertion direction of the locking portion 30 with respect to the mounting hole (that is, the extending direction from the bottom portion 33 of the rod-shaped portion 37 here). Provided. The remaining maximum radial direction of the two IC tags 60 is provided so as to be orthogonal to the insertion direction of the locking portion 30.
 なお、アンテナ64の最大放射方向が係止部30の挿入方向と一致するのは、棒状部37の先端面に設けられた窪み37hに取り付けられたICタグ60であってもよいし、基板部42の底面に取り付けられたICタグ60であってもよい。アンテナ64の形状及びICタグ60を取付ける向き等により適宜設定される。例えば、図1に示す例では、窪み37hの内周面に取り付けられたICタグ60のアンテナ64の最大放射方向が係止部30の挿入方向と一致し、基板部42の底面に取り付けられたICタグ60のアンテナ64の最大放射方向が係止部30の挿入方向及び電線12の延在方向に直交する方向に設定されている。 Note that the maximum radiation direction of the antenna 64 may coincide with the insertion direction of the locking portion 30 may be the IC tag 60 attached to the recess 37h provided on the tip surface of the rod-shaped portion 37, or the substrate portion. The IC tag 60 attached to the bottom surface of 42 may be used. It is set as appropriate depending on the shape of the antenna 64 and the direction in which the IC tag 60 is attached. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the maximum radiation direction of the antenna 64 of the IC tag 60 attached to the inner peripheral surface of the recess 37 h matches the insertion direction of the locking portion 30, and is attached to the bottom surface of the substrate portion 42. The maximum radiation direction of the antenna 64 of the IC tag 60 is set in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the locking portion 30 and the extending direction of the electric wires 12.
 さらにここでは、1つのクランプ20における2つのICタグ60のアンテナ64の最大放射方向は、クランプ20が電線12に取付けられた際に、電線12の延在方向に交差(ここでは、直交)する方向に設定されている。 Furthermore, here, the maximum radiation direction of the antenna 64 of the two IC tags 60 in one clamp 20 intersects (here, orthogonal) the extending direction of the electric wire 12 when the clamp 20 is attached to the electric wire 12. Set to direction.
 1つのクリップ部22に2つのICタグ60を取り付けるに当たり、その固定方法は、同じであってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。例えば、棒状部37の先端面に設けられた窪み37hに取り付けられるICタグ60は埋め込み式で取り付けられ、基板部42の底面に取り付けられるICタグ60は貼付け式で取り付けられていてもよい。 When attaching the two IC tags 60 to one clip portion 22, the fixing method may be the same or different. For example, the IC tag 60 attached to the recess 37h provided on the tip surface of the rod-like part 37 may be attached in an embedded manner, and the IC tag 60 attached to the bottom surface of the substrate part 42 may be attached in an adhesive manner.
 クランプ付電線10は、上記クランプ20と電線12とを備える。上述したように、クランプ20はハーネス取付部40の突出部44と電線12との周囲にテープ72等の結束部材が巻付けられることで電線12に固定されている。 The electric wire 10 with a clamp includes the clamp 20 and the electric wire 12. As described above, the clamp 20 is fixed to the electric wire 12 by winding a binding member such as the tape 72 around the protruding portion 44 of the harness attachment portion 40 and the electric wire 12.
 次に、図4を参照しつつ、クランプ付電線10を含むワイヤーハーネス100に対する検査について説明する。図4は、ワイヤーハーネス100を検査する様子を説明する説明図である。 Next, the inspection for the wire harness 100 including the clamped electric wire 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a state in which the wire harness 100 is inspected.
 ワイヤーハーネス100の製造に当たり、通常、完成したワイヤーハーネス100におけるクランプ20の位置が正しいかどうかなどの検査が行われる。当該検査をするに当たり、ここではICタグ60が用いられる。 In manufacturing the wire harness 100, it is usually inspected whether the position of the clamp 20 in the completed wire harness 100 is correct. Here, the IC tag 60 is used for the inspection.
 より詳細には、完成したワイヤーハーネス100の検査をするに当たり、平面状に展開された状態のワイヤーハーネス100に対して検査する手法がとられることがある。以下、ICタグ60を検出するに当たっても、この手法が採用されるものとして説明する。この場合、図4に示すように、ワイヤーハーネス100が展開された平面に対して、交差(ここでは、直交)する方向から検出器80をかざしてICタグ60を検出する方法がとられることが考えられる。 More specifically, when inspecting the completed wire harness 100, a method of inspecting the wire harness 100 in a state of being flatly developed may be used. Hereinafter, it will be described that this method is adopted even when the IC tag 60 is detected. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, a method may be used in which the IC tag 60 is detected by holding the detector 80 from a direction intersecting (here, orthogonal) with respect to the plane on which the wire harness 100 is developed. Conceivable.
 図4に示す例では、ワイヤーハーネス100に3つのクランプ20が設けられている例で説明する。3つのクランプ20は、ワイヤーハーネス100の延在方向に沿って間隔をあけて設けられている。3つのクランプ20のICチップ62には、それぞれ異なる識別情報、より具体的には、3つのクランプ20の取付位置等に応じた識別情報が保存されている。また、ここでは、3つのクランプ20は係止部30の挿入方向の向きがそれぞれ異なるように電線12に取り付けられている。なお、3つのクランプ20のクリップ部22の形状は同じであってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。 In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, an example in which three clamps 20 are provided in the wire harness 100 will be described. The three clamps 20 are provided at intervals along the extending direction of the wire harness 100. The IC chips 62 of the three clamps 20 store different identification information, more specifically, identification information corresponding to the attachment positions of the three clamps 20 and the like. Here, the three clamps 20 are attached to the electric wire 12 so that the directions of the engaging portions 30 in the insertion direction are different. In addition, the shape of the clip part 22 of the three clamps 20 may be the same, and may differ.
 図4に示す例のように、完成したワイヤーハーネス100においてクランプ20の向きは一定であるとは限らない。このため、ワイヤーハーネス100が平面状に展開された際にすべてのクランプ20の向きを揃えることは難しい。従って、ワイヤーハーネス100が平面状に展開された際に、ICタグ60によってはワイヤーハーネス100が展開された平面に直交する方向に対して十分な放射強度が得られない場合もあり得る。 As in the example shown in FIG. 4, the orientation of the clamp 20 in the completed wire harness 100 is not always constant. For this reason, it is difficult to align all the clamps 20 when the wire harness 100 is deployed in a planar shape. Therefore, when the wire harness 100 is deployed in a planar shape, depending on the IC tag 60, sufficient radiation intensity may not be obtained in the direction orthogonal to the plane in which the wire harness 100 is deployed.
 これに対して、ここでは、1つのクランプ20においてICタグ60がクリップ部22に2つ、そのアンテナ64の最大放射方向が直交するように設けられているため、1つのクランプ20において2つのICタグ60のうちどちらか一方は当該平面に直交する方向に対して十分な放射強度を担保することができると考えられる。これにより、1つのクランプ20に設けられた2つのICタグ60のうち少なくとも一方を検出器80で確実に検出しやすくなる。そして、1つのクランプ20に設けられた2つのICタグ60にクランプ20に対する同じ識別情報が保存されていれば、当該クランプ20を検出器80でより確実に検出することができる。そして、検出したクランプ20を設計上の情報(例えば、設計上のクランプ20の位置及びクリップ部22の形状等)と比較するなどすることによって、クランプ20が誤った位置に取付けられていること又はクランプ20が取付け忘れられていることなどの取付けミスを認知することができる。 On the other hand, in this case, two IC tags 60 are provided in the clip portion 22 in one clamp 20 so that the maximum radiation direction of the antenna 64 is orthogonal to each other. One of the tags 60 is considered to be able to ensure sufficient radiation intensity in the direction orthogonal to the plane. Accordingly, it becomes easy to reliably detect at least one of the two IC tags 60 provided on one clamp 20 by the detector 80. If the same identification information for the clamp 20 is stored in the two IC tags 60 provided in one clamp 20, the clamp 20 can be detected more reliably by the detector 80. Then, by comparing the detected clamp 20 with design information (for example, the design position of the clamp 20 and the shape of the clip portion 22), the clamp 20 is attached at an incorrect position, or It is possible to recognize a mounting error such as the clamp 20 being forgotten to be mounted.
 さらに、ワイヤーハーネス100が展開された平面は、ワイヤーハーネス100の延在方向を含む平面である。これに対して、1つのクランプ20における2つのICタグ60のアンテナ64の最大放射方向は、当該平面に交差する方向に設定されている。このため、1つのクランプ20における2つのICタグ60の少なくとも一方の最大放射方向が当該平面に対して検出器80側に延在する。これにより、1つのクランプ20における2つのICタグ60の少なくとも一方を検出器80で検出しやすくなる。 Furthermore, the plane in which the wire harness 100 is developed is a plane including the extending direction of the wire harness 100. On the other hand, the maximum radiation direction of the antennas 64 of the two IC tags 60 in one clamp 20 is set in a direction intersecting the plane. For this reason, the maximum radiation direction of at least one of the two IC tags 60 in one clamp 20 extends toward the detector 80 with respect to the plane. As a result, at least one of the two IC tags 60 in one clamp 20 can be easily detected by the detector 80.
 このようなクランプ20によると、取付対象物に係止可能に形成された係止部30と、係止部30に連なり、電線12に取付けられるハーネス取付部40とを含むクリップ部22と、ICチップ62とICチップ62に接続されたアンテナ64とを含み、アンテナ64からの放射強度が最大となる最大放射方向が交差する態様でクリップ部22に複数設けられたICタグ60と、を備えるため、当該クランプ20のICタグ60を特定の方向から読み取ろうとした場合に、複数のICタグ60のうちの少なくとも1つが読み取り容易となる。この際、1つのクリップ部22に設けられた複数のICタグ60に電線12又は電線12に取付けられた外装部品の同じ識別情報が保存されていれば、当該識別情報が識別可能になる。これにより、電線12又は電線12に取付けられた外装部品の識別情報をなるべく簡易な構成でなるべく多くの方向から識別可能にすることができる。このため、ワイヤーハーネス100の検査等が容易になり、不良品生産又は不良品修正の低減につながる。また、設計段階においてもワイヤーハーネス100におけるクランプの向きを考慮する必要性が低下するため、設計自由度の拡大につながる。 According to such a clamp 20, a clip portion 22 that includes a locking portion 30 that can be locked to an attachment object, a harness mounting portion 40 that is connected to the locking portion 30 and is attached to the electric wire 12, and an IC. In order to include an IC tag 60 including a chip 62 and an antenna 64 connected to the IC chip 62, and a plurality of IC tags 60 provided in the clip portion 22 in such a manner that the maximum radiation directions from which the radiation intensity from the antenna 64 becomes maximum intersect. When trying to read the IC tag 60 of the clamp 20 from a specific direction, at least one of the plurality of IC tags 60 can be easily read. At this time, if the same identification information of the electric wire 12 or the exterior part attached to the electric wire 12 is stored in the plurality of IC tags 60 provided in one clip portion 22, the identification information can be identified. Thereby, the identification information of the electric wire 12 or the exterior component attached to the electric wire 12 can be identified from as many directions as possible with a simple configuration. For this reason, the inspection etc. of the wire harness 100 become easy, and it leads to reduction of defective product production or defective product correction. Moreover, since the necessity of considering the direction of the clamp in the wire harness 100 falls also in a design stage, it leads to the expansion of a design freedom.
 また、ICタグ60は、それぞれのアンテナ64の最大放射方向が直交するように2つ設けられているため、ICタグ60の増加を抑えつつ、識別情報がなるべく多くの方向から識別可能になる。 Further, since two IC tags 60 are provided so that the maximum radiation directions of the respective antennas 64 are orthogonal to each other, identification information can be identified from as many directions as possible while suppressing an increase in the number of IC tags 60.
 また、2つのICタグ60のうち一方は、アンテナ64の最大放射方向が、係止部30の挿入方向と一致するようにクリップ部22に設けられているため、当該クランプ20に対して検出器80を特定の方向からかざした場合でも、クランプ20に設けられた2つのICタグ60のうちどちらか一方をより確実に検出することができる。 In addition, one of the two IC tags 60 is provided on the clip portion 22 so that the maximum radiation direction of the antenna 64 coincides with the insertion direction of the locking portion 30. Even when 80 is held from a specific direction, one of the two IC tags 60 provided on the clamp 20 can be detected more reliably.
 {第2実施形態}
 次に、第2実施形態に係るクランプ20Aについて説明する。図6は、第2実施形態に係るクランプ20Aを示す斜視図である。なお、本実施の形態の説明において、第1実施形態で説明したものと同様構成要素については同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。
{Second Embodiment}
Next, the clamp 20A according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a clamp 20A according to the second embodiment. In the description of the present embodiment, the same components as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
 第2実施形態に係るクランプ20Aは、クリップ部22Aの形状が第1実施形態に係るクランプ20のクリップ部22の形状とは異なる。 In the clamp 20A according to the second embodiment, the shape of the clip portion 22A is different from the shape of the clip portion 22 of the clamp 20 according to the first embodiment.
 具体的には、クリップ部22Aのハーネス取付部40Aは、ここでは、電線12に対してバンドで固定されるように形成されている。より詳細には、ハーネス取付部40Aは、バンド部50とバンド固定部52とを含む。 Specifically, the harness attachment portion 40A of the clip portion 22A is formed so as to be fixed to the electric wire 12 with a band. More specifically, the harness attachment part 40 </ b> A includes a band part 50 and a band fixing part 52.
 バンド部50は、長尺帯状に形成されるとともに、電線12の周囲に巻回可能に形成されている。バンド部50の先端部は、先端に行くにつれて幅が狭くなると共に、厚みが薄くなるように形成されている。これにより、バンド部50を後述するバンド固定部52の挿通孔54hに挿し込みやすくなる。また、ここでは、バンド部50の先端側部分には、係止凹部50hが形成されている。 The band portion 50 is formed in a long band shape and is formed so as to be wound around the electric wire 12. The front end portion of the band portion 50 is formed so that the width becomes narrower and the thickness becomes thinner toward the front end. Thereby, it becomes easy to insert the band part 50 in the insertion hole 54h of the band fixing | fixed part 52 mentioned later. Further, here, a locking recess 50 h is formed in the tip side portion of the band portion 50.
 係止凹部50hは、ここでは、バンド部50の一対の主面のうち少なくとも一方(ここでは、バンド部50が電線12の周囲に巻回された状態で外側を向く側の主面)に形成されている。係止凹部50hは、バンド部50の外向きの主面の一部が反対側の主面に向かって凹むように形成されている。係止凹部50hは、バンド部50の延在方向に沿って複数設けられている。係止凹部50hは、後述する挿通孔54hの内周面に突設された係止突起に選択的に係止可能に形成されている。 Here, the locking recess 50h is formed on at least one of the pair of main surfaces of the band portion 50 (here, the main surface facing outward with the band portion 50 wound around the electric wire 12). Has been. The locking recess 50h is formed such that a part of the outward main surface of the band portion 50 is recessed toward the opposite main surface. A plurality of locking recesses 50 h are provided along the extending direction of the band portion 50. The locking recess 50h is formed so as to be selectively lockable with a locking protrusion protruding from an inner peripheral surface of an insertion hole 54h described later.
 バンド固定部52は、バンド部50の一端につながっている。また、バンド固定部52は、バンド部50が電線12の周囲に巻回された状態でバンド部50の他端を固定可能に形成されている。 The band fixing part 52 is connected to one end of the band part 50. The band fixing portion 52 is formed so that the other end of the band portion 50 can be fixed in a state where the band portion 50 is wound around the electric wire 12.
 具体的には、バンド固定部52は、略直方体状に形成されたバンド固定本体部54を含む。バンド固定本体部54には、バンド固定本体部54の一対の主面を貫く挿通孔54hが形成されている。バンド部50は、挿通孔54hの開口が形成された主面と直交する1つの主面から突出する態様で設けられている。また、係止部30は、バンド固定本体部54のうちバンド部50が突出する主面とは反対側の主面に設けられている。 Specifically, the band fixing portion 52 includes a band fixing main body portion 54 formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The band fixing main body portion 54 is formed with an insertion hole 54 h that penetrates a pair of main surfaces of the band fixing main body portion 54. The band part 50 is provided in such a manner as to protrude from one main surface orthogonal to the main surface in which the opening of the insertion hole 54h is formed. Moreover, the latching | locking part 30 is provided in the main surface on the opposite side to the main surface from which the band part 50 protrudes among the band fixing main-body parts 54. FIG.
 挿通孔54hの幅寸法は、バンド部50の幅寸法と同じかそれよりも大きく(ここでは、若干大きく)設定されている。また、挿通孔54hの高さ寸法は、バンド部50の厚み寸法と同じかそれよりも大きく(ここでは、若干大きく)設定されている。また、挿通孔54hの内周面には、係止突起が突設されている。 The width dimension of the insertion hole 54h is set to be equal to or larger than the width dimension of the band portion 50 (here, slightly larger). Further, the height dimension of the insertion hole 54h is set to be equal to or larger than the thickness dimension of the band portion 50 (here, slightly larger). Further, a locking projection is projected from the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 54h.
 係止突起は、ここでは、バンド部50に複数設けられた係止凹部50hに選択的に係止可能に形成されている。具体的には、ここでは、係止凹部50hがバンド部50の外向きの主面に形成されているため、係止突起は、挿通孔54hの内周面のうち係止部30側の内周面から突出している。 Here, the locking projections are formed so as to be selectively lockable in a plurality of locking recesses 50 h provided in the band portion 50. Specifically, here, since the locking recess 50h is formed on the outwardly facing main surface of the band portion 50, the locking projection is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 54h on the locking portion 30 side. It protrudes from the peripheral surface.
 また、バンド部50が挿通孔54hの開口から開口に向けて挿通され係止突起が係止凹部50hに係止している状態で、バンド部50が挿通される向きには移動可能であると共に、挿通される向きとは反対側の向きには移動不可となるように、係止突起と係止凹部50hの形状が形成されている。このような、係止突起と係止凹部50hとの形状としては、例えば、以下のような形状が考えられる。 In addition, the band portion 50 is movable from the opening of the insertion hole 54h toward the opening and is movable in the direction in which the band portion 50 is inserted while the locking protrusion is locked to the locking recess 50h. The shapes of the locking projections and the locking recesses 50h are formed so that they cannot move in the direction opposite to the direction in which they are inserted. As such shapes of the locking projection and the locking recess 50h, for example, the following shapes are conceivable.
 即ち、係止突起は、バンド部50が挿通される側の開口を向く第1の面と、その反対側の開口を向く第2の面とを有する。第1の面は、係止突起が突出する挿通孔54hの内周面に対して傾斜する傾斜面をなしており、傾斜面の先端側にいくにつれて反対側の開口に近づくように設定されている。また、第2の面は、上記内周面に対して直交する直交面をなしている。同様に、複数の係止凹部50hの内周面もそれぞれ、第1の面と第2の面とを有し、第1の面がバンド部50の先端側を向くと共に、バンド部50の延在方向に対して傾斜する傾斜面をなし、第2の面がバンド部50の延在方向に直交する直交面をなしている。 That is, the locking projection has a first surface facing the opening on the side through which the band portion 50 is inserted and a second surface facing the opening on the opposite side. The first surface has an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 54h from which the locking projection protrudes, and is set so as to approach the opening on the opposite side toward the tip side of the inclined surface. Yes. Further, the second surface is an orthogonal surface orthogonal to the inner peripheral surface. Similarly, the inner peripheral surfaces of the plurality of locking recesses 50h each have a first surface and a second surface, the first surface faces the front end side of the band portion 50, and the band portion 50 extends. An inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the current direction is formed, and the second surface is an orthogonal surface that is orthogonal to the extending direction of the band unit 50.
 バンド部50が挿通孔54hの開口から開口に向けて挿通されていくと、係止凹部50hの傾斜面と係止突起の傾斜面とが接する。この状態からさらに挿通される向きにバンド部50を移動させようとすると、係止凹部50hの内周面と係止突起との少なくとも一方が弾性変形し、係止突起が係止しているバンド凹部を越えて、次の係止凹部50hに係止する。これを繰り返すことで、バンド部50は、挿通される向きに挿通孔54hを移動可能となる。 When the band portion 50 is inserted from the opening of the insertion hole 54h toward the opening, the inclined surface of the locking recess 50h and the inclined surface of the locking protrusion come into contact with each other. If the band portion 50 is further moved from this state in the direction of insertion, at least one of the inner peripheral surface of the locking recess 50h and the locking protrusion is elastically deformed, and the band in which the locking protrusion is locked Over the recess, it is locked in the next locking recess 50h. By repeating this, the band portion 50 can move through the insertion hole 54h in the insertion direction.
 係止突起が係止凹部50hに係止している状態で、バンド部50を挿通される向きとは反対側の向きに移動させようとすると、係止凹部50hの直交面と係止突起の直交面とが接するため、係止凹部50hの内周面と係止突起との両方が弾性変形しにくい。これにより、係止突起が係止凹部50hに係止している状態で、バンド部50は、挿通される向きとは反対側の向きには、移動不可となる。そして、バンド部50を電線12の周囲に巻回してきつく締めることで、バンド部50は、挿通方向のどちらの向きにも移動不可となり、以て、クランプ20Aが、電線12に固定された状態となる。 If the band projection 50 is moved in the direction opposite to the direction in which the band portion 50 is inserted while the locking projection is locked to the locking recess 50h, the orthogonal surface of the locking recess 50h and the locking projection Since the orthogonal surfaces are in contact with each other, both the inner peripheral surface of the locking recess 50h and the locking protrusion are not easily elastically deformed. Thereby, in a state where the locking projection is locked to the locking recess 50h, the band portion 50 cannot move in the direction opposite to the direction in which the band portion 50 is inserted. And by winding the band part 50 around the electric wire 12 and tightening it, the band part 50 becomes immovable in either direction of the insertion direction, and thus the clamp 20A is fixed to the electric wire 12. It becomes.
 当該クランプ20Aのクリップ部22Aにも2つのICタグ60が設けられている。そのうち一方は、第1実施形態に係るクランプ20と同様に、係止部30の棒状部37の先端に設けられた窪み37hに取付けられている。また、他方は、バンド固定本体部54のうちバンド部50が突出する主面に設けられている。これにより、当該クランプ20Aにおける2つのICタグ60の位置関係は、第1実施形態に係るクランプ20における2つのICタグ60の位置関係と同様になる。従って、このようなクランプ20Aによっても、電線12への固定以外の効果については、第1実施形態に係るクランプ20と同様の効果を得ることができる。 The two IC tags 60 are also provided in the clip portion 22A of the clamp 20A. One of them is attached to a recess 37 h provided at the tip of the rod-shaped portion 37 of the locking portion 30, similarly to the clamp 20 according to the first embodiment. The other is provided on the main surface of the band fixing main body 54 from which the band 50 protrudes. Thereby, the positional relationship between the two IC tags 60 in the clamp 20A is the same as the positional relationship between the two IC tags 60 in the clamp 20 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, also with such a clamp 20A, the same effects as those of the clamp 20 according to the first embodiment can be obtained for effects other than the fixing to the electric wire 12.
 また、このようなクランプ20Aによると、テープ72等の他の部材を用いずともクランプ20Aを電線12に取り付けることができる。 Moreover, according to such a clamp 20A, the clamp 20A can be attached to the electric wire 12 without using other members such as the tape 72.
 なお、上記各実施形態で説明した各構成は、相互に矛盾しない限り適宜組み合わせることができる。 In addition, each structure demonstrated by each said embodiment can be suitably combined unless it mutually contradicts.
 以上のようにこの発明は詳細に説明されたが、上記した説明は、すべての局面において、例示であって、この発明がそれに限定されるものではない。例示されていない無数の変形例が、この発明の範囲から外れることなく想定され得るものと解される。 Although the present invention has been described in detail as described above, the above description is illustrative in all aspects, and the present invention is not limited thereto. It is understood that countless variations that are not illustrated can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention.
