ワイヤハーネス配索装置Wire harness wiring device
 本明細書に開示される技術は、ワイヤハーネス配索装置に関する。 The technology disclosed herein relates to a wire harness routing device.
 従来、自動車等の車両には、スライド可能なシートが備えられており、このシートには電動リクライニング装置やシートヒータなどの電装品が装備されているものがある。これらの電装品と車体側の機器等との間を接続するワイヤハーネスは、シートと車体との間でシートのスライドに追従するため、シートと車体との間にワイヤハーネスの余長を収容する構成が備えられている。特許文献1には、シート下の空間に、シート側から延びるワイヤハーネスを導くスライダをシートの移動と連動してスライド可能に取り付ける移動部と、移動部の一端側から引き出されたワイヤハーネスの余長部分をU字形状に折り返した状態で収容する収容部と、を有する電線配索装置が開示されている。収容部は移動部の隣に並べられており、U字形状に折り返されたワイヤハーネスの余長部は移動部に対して横並びの状態で収容部内に収容されている。 2.

 ところで、特許文献1の構成では、上述したようにワイヤハーネスの余長を収容するための収容部が必要であるが、収容部の分だけ車両における使用可能なスペースが少なくなるという問題があった。 By the way, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, as described above, the accommodating portion for accommodating the extra length of the wire harness is required, but there is a problem that the usable space in the vehicle is reduced by the amount of the accommodating portion. .
 本明細書に開示された技術は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、ワイヤハーネスの余長を収容する収容部を小型化することを目的とする。 The technique disclosed in the present specification is completed based on the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to miniaturize the accommodating portion for accommodating the extra length of the wire harness.
 本明細書に開示される技術は、レールに対してスライド可能に取り付けられたスライダに連結されたワイヤハーネスと、前記ワイヤハーネスを前記レールの側方かつ前記レールに沿う方向に案内する案内部と、前記レールの側方に並んで設けられ、前記案内部によって案内された前記ワイヤハーネスを内部に収容する収容部と、を備え、前記ワイヤハーネスは前記収容部内において、上下方向に折り返された状態で前記スライダの移動に伴って移動可能に収容されているワイヤハーネス配索装置である。 The technology disclosed in the present specification includes a wire harness connected to a slider slidably attached to a rail, and a guide unit for guiding the wire harness in the lateral direction of the rail and along the rail. And an accommodating portion provided side by side with the rail and accommodating the wire harness guided by the guiding portion inside, wherein the wire harness is folded back in the vertical direction in the accommodating portion. The wire harness arranging device is accommodated so as to be movable with the movement of the slider.
 上記構成によれば、ワイヤハーネスは収容部内において上下方向に折り返された縦型の状態でレールに沿うように収容されているから、従来のように横方向(レールと並ぶ方向)に湾曲させて折り返す構成と比較して、収容部が必要とする床の設置面積が小さくなる。すなわち、車両における使用可能なスペースが従来よりも広くなる。 According to the above configuration, since the wire harness is accommodated along the rail in the vertical state in which the wire harness is folded back in the vertical direction, the wire harness is curved in the lateral direction (the direction in line with the rail) as in the prior art Compared to the folded configuration, the floor area required by the housing is smaller. That is, the usable space in the vehicle becomes wider than before.
 上記ワイヤハーネス配索装置は、以下の構成を備えていてもよい。 The said wire harness wiring apparatus may be equipped with the following structures.
 ワイヤハーネスは複数本の電線を有するとともに、当該複数本の電線が一列に並べられて扁平な形状とされており、収容部内において上方および下方に向けて扁平な面が配される向きで収容されている構成としてもよい。 The wire harness has a plurality of electric wires, and the plurality of electric wires are arranged in a line to form a flat shape, and is accommodated in a direction in which the flat surface is disposed upward and downward in the accommodation portion The configuration may be
 このような構成によれば、ワイヤハーネスが複数本の電線を有する場合でも、ワイヤハーネスを上下方向に簡単に折り返すことが可能となり、収容部の高さも低く抑えることができる。 According to such a configuration, even when the wire harness has a plurality of electric wires, the wire harness can be easily folded back in the vertical direction, and the height of the housing portion can be suppressed to a low level.
 ワイヤハーネスは複数本の電線の周囲を外装体により被覆してなり、外装体は一方向にのみ曲げが許容されている構成としてもよい。 The wire harness may be formed by covering the periphery of a plurality of electric wires with an outer package, and the outer package may be configured to be allowed to bend in only one direction.
 上記一方向とは、ワイヤハーネスの折り返し方向である。したがって、このような構成によれば、上下方向に折り返されたワイヤハーネスのうち上段に配されるワイヤハーネスの重力による撓みを大幅に軽減することができるから、収容部側に撓みを規制する構成が不要となり、収容部を簡易な構成とすることができる。 The above one direction is the turning direction of the wire harness. Therefore, according to such a configuration, bending due to gravity of the wire harness disposed on the upper stage of the wire harness folded back in the vertical direction can be significantly reduced, so that the deflection is restricted on the housing portion side Can be eliminated, and the storage unit can be configured simply.
 本明細書に開示される技術によれば、ワイヤハーネスの余長を収容する収容部を小型化することができる。 According to the technology disclosed in the present specification, it is possible to miniaturize the accommodating portion that accommodates the extra length of the wire harness.
