Description
最初に本開示の実施態様を列記して説明する。
本開示の複合ワイヤハーネスは、
[1]第1電線、及び前記第1電線を覆う第1外装部材を有する第1ワイヤハーネスと、第2電線、及び前記第2電線を覆う第2外装部材を有する第2ワイヤハーネスと、前記第1ワイヤハーネス及び前記第2ワイヤハーネスに取り付けられる第1経路規制部材と、を備え、前記第1ワイヤハーネスは、前記第2ワイヤハーネスと並んで配置されており、前記第1経路規制部材は、前記第1外装部材及び前記第2外装部材の外周の一部を覆う第1本体部と、前記第1本体部の周方向の両端部である第1端部及び第2端部によって形成される第1挿入口と、を有し、前記第1挿入口は、前記第1経路規制部材の長さ方向に延びる開口であるとともに前記第1経路規制部材の全長にわたって延びており、前記第1経路規制部材は、前記第1ワイヤハーネスと前記第2ワイヤハーネスとを一括して保持している。
この構成によれば、堅硬な第1経路規制部材によって、第1ワイヤハーネス及び第2ワイヤハーネスの経路をより強固に規制することができる。
また、第1外装部材が、第1経路規制部材と第2経路規制部材とによって2重で覆われることから、外部から第1外装部材への熱の伝達をより好適に抑えることができる。
この構成によれば、堅硬な第2経路規制部材によって、第1ワイヤハーネスの経路をより強固に規制することができる。
この構成によれば、例えば、第1ワイヤハーネスが第2ワイヤハーネスよりも長い区間の経路規制を必要とする場合に、第1経路規制部材を長くして対応するのではなく、第1外装部材に取り付けられた第2経路規制部材を長くして対応することで、経路規制を必要とする箇所のみを規制することが可能となる。すなわち、第2ワイヤハーネスにおいて経路規制を必要としない区間にまで第1経路規制部材を拡げなくて済み、その結果、第1経路規制部材の小型化に寄与し、ひいては複合ワイヤハーネスの軽量化に寄与できる。
この構成によれば、第1外装部材が第2挿入口を通じて第2経路規制部材から外れることを第3突出部によって抑制できる。これにより、第2経路規制部材が意図せず外れることが抑制されるため、複合ワイヤハーネスの組立作業性をより向上できる。
また、第1外装部材及び第2外装部材が、第1経路規制部材と第3経路規制部材とによって2重で覆われることから、外部から第1外装部材及び第2外装部材への熱の伝達をより好適に抑えることができる。
この構成によれば、堅硬な第3経路規制部材によって、第1ワイヤハーネス及び第2ワイヤハーネスの経路をより強固に規制することができる。
この構成によれば、複合ワイヤハーネスにおいて第3経路規制部材を必要とする箇所のみに第3経路規制部材を設けることが可能となる。従って、第3経路規制部材を必要としない箇所にまで第3経路規制部材を延ばさなくて済み、その結果、第3経路規制部材の小型化に寄与し、ひいては複合ワイヤハーネスの軽量化に寄与できる。
この構成によれば、金属材料にて構成された第3経路規制部材によって、外部から第1外装部材及び第2外装部材に伝わる熱を効果的に遮熱することが可能となる。
この構成によれば、第1外装部材及び第2外装部材と第3経路規制部材との間に設けられる第1経路規制部材が、合成樹脂材料にて構成される。このため、金属製の第3経路規制部材が第1外装部材及び第2外装部材に触れることを、合成樹脂製の第1経路規制部材によって抑制することが可能となる。その結果、金属製の第3経路規制部材との接触による第1外装部材及び第2外装部材の摩耗を抑制可能となる。
この構成によれば、表面に塗装などを施さずとも第3経路規制部材を所望の色とすることが可能となる。例えば、第1電線及び第2電線の少なくとも一方が高圧電線のとき、第1経路規制部材の色を、第1電線及び第2電線の少なくとも一方が高圧電線であることを作業者が認識可能な色にすることで、高圧電線を含む複合ワイヤハーネスを作業者が誤って切断しないように注意を促すことができる。
この構成によれば、表面に塗装などを施さずとも第1経路規制部材及び第3経路規制部材を所望の色とすることが可能となる。例えば、第1電線及び第2電線の少なくとも一方が高圧電線のとき、第1経路規制部材の色を、第1電線及び第2電線の少なくとも一方が高圧電線であることを作業者が認識可能な色にすることで、高圧電線を含む複合ワイヤハーネスを作業者が誤って切断しないように注意を促すことができる。
この構成によれば、表面に塗装などを施さずとも第2経路規制部材を所望の色とすることが可能となる。例えば、第1電線が高圧電線のとき、第2経路規制部材の色を、第1電線が高圧電線であることを作業者が認識可能な色にすることで、高圧電線を含む第1ワイヤハーネスを作業者が誤って切断しないように注意を促すことができる。
この構成によれば、表面に塗装などを施さずとも第1経路規制部材及び第2経路規制部材を所望の色とすることが可能となる。例えば、第1電線が高圧電線のとき、第1経路規制部材及び第2経路規制部材の色を、第1電線が高圧電線であることを作業者が認識可能な色にすることで、高圧電線を含む第1ワイヤハーネスを作業者が誤って切断しないように注意を促すことができる。
この構成によれば、表面に塗装などを施さずとも第1経路規制部材を所望の色とすることが可能となる。例えば、第1電線及び第2電線の少なくとも一方が高圧電線のとき、第1経路規制部材の色を、第1電線及び第2電線の少なくとも一方が高圧電線であることを作業者が認識可能な色にすることで、高圧電線を含む複合ワイヤハーネスを作業者が誤って切断しないように注意を促すことができる。
この構成によれば、金属材料にて構成された第1経路規制部材によって、外部から第1外装部材及び第2外装部材に伝わる熱を効果的に遮熱することが可能となる。
この構成によれば、第1経路規制部材は、外形の大きさが互いに異なる第1外装部材と第2外装部材とを一括して保持して、第1ワイヤハーネス及び第2ワイヤハーネスの経路を規制する。すなわち、第1外装部材と第2外装部材との外形の大きさが互いに異なる場合であっても、1つの第1経路規制部材によって複数のワイヤハーネスの経路を規制することができる。これにより、複合ワイヤハーネスの部品点数の削減に寄与できる。
本開示の複合ワイヤハーネスの具体例を、以下に図面を参照しつつ説明する。各図面では、説明の便宜上、構成の一部を誇張または簡略化して示す場合がある。また、各部分の寸法比率については各図面で異なる場合がある。また、本明細書における「平行」や「直交」は、厳密に平行や直交の場合のみでなく、本実施形態における作用ならびに効果を奏する範囲内で概ね平行や直交の場合も含まれる。
以下、複合ワイヤハーネスの第1実施形態について説明する。
図1に示す複合ワイヤハーネス10は、例えば、車両Vに設けられた機器同士を接続するものである。複合ワイヤハーネス10は、例えば、複合ワイヤハーネス10の長さ方向の中間部が車両Vの床下などの車室外を通るように車両Vに配置されている。
図3に示すように、第1ワイヤハーネス11は、第1電線21及び第1外装部材22を有している。第1電線21は、例えば複数設けられている。第1外装部材22は、例えば円筒状をなしている。第1外装部材22は、例えば、複数の第1電線21を一括して包囲している。なお、第1電線21の一端部は前記第1機器M1に接続され、第1電線21の他端部は前記第2機器M2に接続される。第1電線21は、高電圧・大電流に対応可能な高圧電線である。
図3に示すように、第2ワイヤハーネス12は、第2電線31及び第2外装部材32を有している。第2電線31は、例えば複数設けられている。第2外装部材32は、例えば円筒状をなしている。第2外装部材32は、例えば、複数の第2電線31を一括して包囲している。なお、第2電線31の一端部は前記第3機器M3に接続され、第2電線31の他端部は前記第4機器M4に接続される。第2電線31は低圧電線である。
図2及び図3に示すように、第1経路規制部材40は、第1外装部材22と第2外装部材32とを一括して保持する。また、第1経路規制部材40は、第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32よりも堅硬である。すなわち、第1経路規制部材40は、第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32に比べて、第1ワイヤハーネス11及び第2ワイヤハーネス12の長さ方向に直交する方向に曲がり難い硬さを有している。これにより、第1経路規制部材40は、第1ワイヤハーネス11の経路及び第2ワイヤハーネス12の経路を規制する。つまり、第1経路規制部材40は、第1ワイヤハーネス11及び第2ワイヤハーネス12が自重などで撓んで所定の経路から外れないように、第1ワイヤハーネス11及び第2ワイヤハーネス12を補助する。従って、第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32は、第1経路規制部材40が取り付けられていない状態よりも曲がり難くなっている。
第1本体部41は、並設方向Xに並ぶ第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32の外周の一部を覆っている。第1本体部41は、第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32の長さ方向に沿って例えば直線状に延びている。第1本体部41の横断面形状は、例えば略C字状をなしている。なお、第1経路規制部材40の横断面形状は、例えば、第1経路規制部材40の全長にわたって一様である。また、第1本体部41の径方向の厚さは、例えば、周方向において一様である。
一対の腕部44a,44bは、並設方向Xにおける被覆部43の両端部からそれぞれ延びている。一対の腕部44a,44bは、並設方向Xの両側から、第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32をまとめて挟んでいる。各腕部44a,44bは、Y軸方向において被覆部43が覆う側とは反対側まで延びている。すなわち、腕部44aの第1端部45と、腕部44bの第2端部46とは、Y軸方向において被覆部43が覆う側とは反対側に位置している。腕部44aは、第1外装部材22の並設方向Xの側方を覆っている。腕部44bは、第2外装部材32の並設方向Xの側方を覆っている。
本実施形態の複合ワイヤハーネス10によれば、第1経路規制部材40が取り付けられた部分では、第1経路規制部材40の剛性によって、第1ワイヤハーネス11及び第2ワイヤハーネス12が自重などによって撓むことが抑制される。つまり、第1経路規制部材40は、第1ワイヤハーネス11及び第2ワイヤハーネス12の両方の経路を規制する。
(1)第1経路規制部材40の第1挿入口42は、第1経路規制部材40の長さ方向に延びる開口であるとともに第1経路規制部材40の全長にわたって延びている。この構成によれば、第1電線21及び第2電線31の各々の長さ方向の端部にコネクタを取り付けるなどの端末処理を行った後、第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32に対して第1挿入口42から第1経路規制部材40を取り付けることが可能である。このように、第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32に対して第1経路規制部材40を後付け可能であるため、複合ワイヤハーネス10の組立作業性を向上させることが可能となる。
次に、複合ワイヤハーネスの第2実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態では、第1実施形態との相違点について主に説明し、第1実施形態と同様の構成には同じ符号を付して、説明の一部又は全部を割愛する場合がある。
(7)第1経路規制部材40において、第1外装部材22を配置する部分と第2外装部材32を配置する部分との区画分けが仕切り部49によってなされる。このため、第1経路規制部材40に第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32を組み付ける際の作業性を向上させることができる。
次に、複合ワイヤハーネスの第3実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態では、第1実施形態との相違点について主に説明し、第1実施形態と同様の構成には同じ符号を付して、説明の一部又は全部を割愛する場合がある。
第2経路規制部材50は、第1外装部材22の外周における周方向の一部を覆っている。また、第2経路規制部材50は、第1外装部材22よりも堅硬である。すなわち、第2経路規制部材50は、第1外装部材22に比べて、第1ワイヤハーネス11の長さ方向に直交する方向に曲がり難い硬さを有している。これにより、第2経路規制部材50は、第1外装部材22が自重などで撓んで所定の経路から外れないように第1外装部材22を補助する。すなわち、第1外装部材22は、第2経路規制部材50が取り付けられていない状態よりも曲がり難くなっている。
第2本体部51は、第1外装部材22の外周面における周方向の一部を覆っている。例えば、第2本体部51は、第1外装部材22の外周における半分よりも大きい範囲を覆う。また、第2本体部51は、第1外装部材22の長さ方向に沿って延びている。第2本体部51の横断面形状は、例えば円弧状をなしている。なお、第2本体部51の径方向の厚さは、例えば、周方向において一様である。なお、第2経路規制部材50の横断面形状は、例えば、第2経路規制部材50の全長にわたって一様である。また、第2本体部51の横断面における中心軸線Cは例えば直線をなす。すなわち、第2本体部51は、一方向に直線状に延びる形状をなしている。
(9)第1経路規制部材40と第2経路規制部材50とによって、第1ワイヤハーネス11及び第2ワイヤハーネス12の経路をより好適に規制することが可能となる。
次に、複合ワイヤハーネスの第4実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態では、第1実施形態との相違点について主に説明し、第1実施形態と同様の構成には同じ符号を付して、説明の一部又は全部を割愛する場合がある。
図8及び図9に示すように、第3経路規制部材60は、第1経路規制部材40の外周の一部を覆う第3本体部61と、第3挿入口62とを備えている。なお、第3経路規制部材60は、例えば、金属材料にて構成されている。第3経路規制部材60は、例えば、金属板のプレス加工や鋳造などの方法によって成形することができる。
一対の腕部64a,64bは、並設方向Xにおける被覆部63の両端部からそれぞれ延びている。一対の腕部64a,64bは、並設方向Xの両側から第1経路規制部材40を挟んでいる。腕部64aは、第1経路規制部材40の腕部44aに接触している。また、腕部64bは、第1経路規制部材40の腕部44bに接触している。
(17)第1経路規制部材40と第3経路規制部材60とによって、第1ワイヤハーネス11及び第2ワイヤハーネス12の経路をより好適に規制することが可能となる。
次に、複合ワイヤハーネスの第5実施形態について説明する。なお、本実施形態では、第2実施形態との相違点について主に説明し、第2実施形態と同様の構成には同じ符号を付して、説明の一部又は全部を割愛する場合がある。
図11に示すように、第1ワイヤハーネス11Aは、2本の第1電線21と、2本の第1電線21を一括して包囲する筒状の第1外装部材22とを有している。第2ワイヤハーネス12Aは、3本の第2電線31と、3本の第2電線31を一括して包囲する筒状の第2外装部材32とを有している。
第1経路規制部材40は、第1本体部41と、第1挿入口42とを有している。第1本体部41は、被覆部43と、一対の腕部44a,44bと、第1端部45と、第2端部46とを有している。被覆部43は、例えば、第1経路規制部材40の長さ方向及び並設方向Xと平行な平板状に形成されている。腕部44a,44bは、第1経路規制部材40の長さ方向から見て、互いに反対側に凸となる円弧状に湾曲した板状に形成されている。腕部44aは、例えば、第1経路規制部材40の長さ方向から見て、第1外装部材22の外周面に沿って円弧状に湾曲した形状に形成されている。腕部44bは、例えば、第1経路規制部材40の長さ方向から見て、第2外装部材32の外周面に沿って円弧状に湾曲した形状に形成されている。
図12に示すように、第1収容部81及び第2収容部82の各々は、第1経路規制部材40の長さ方向に沿って延びている。第1収容部81及び第2収容部82の各々は、第1経路規制部材40の全長にわたって延びている。
図11に示すように、仕切り部70は、被覆部43に接続された基端部と、基端部とY軸方向において反対側に設けられた先端部と、それら基端部と先端部との間に設けられた中間部73とを有している。
(21)第1経路規制部材40において、第1外装部材22を配置する部分と第2外装部材32を配置する部分との区画分けが仕切り部70によってなされる。このため、第1経路規制部材40に第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32を組み付ける際の作業性を向上させることができる。
(第3実施形態の変更例)
・上記第3実施形態では、第1ワイヤハーネス11の長さ方向において、第2経路規制部材50を第1経路規制部材40よりも長く構成したが、これに限らず、第1経路規制部材40を第2経路規制部材50よりも長く構成してもよい。この構成によれば、第1経路規制部材40によって、第1ワイヤハーネス11及び第2ワイヤハーネス12の経路を広範囲にわたって規制しつつ、第1ワイヤハーネス11においてより強固な経路規制が必要な箇所に第2経路規制部材50を設けることで好適な経路規制が実現できる。
・上記第3実施形態では、第2経路規制部材50を合成樹脂材料にて構成したが、これに限らず、第2経路規制部材50を例えば金属材料にて構成してもよい。
・上記第4実施形態では、第3経路規制部材60を金属材料にて構成したが、これ以外に例えば、第3経路規制部材60を、有色の合成樹脂材料にて構成してもよい。この構成によれば、表面に塗装などを施さずとも第3経路規制部材60を所望の色とすることが可能となる。これにより、第3経路規制部材60の色を、複合ワイヤハーネス10Bが高圧電線としての第1電線21を含むことを作業者が認識可能な色にすることで、第1電線21を作業者が誤って切断しないように注意を促すことができる。また、第3経路規制部材60を第1経路規制部材40と同色とすることで、複合ワイヤハーネス10Bが高圧電線を含むことを、作業者により好適に認識させることが可能となる。なお、第3経路規制部材60の材料としては、例えば、ポリプロピレン、ポリアミド、ポリアセタールなどの合成樹脂を用いることができる。第3経路規制部材60は、例えば、押出成形や射出成形などの周知の方法によって成形することができる。
・上記第5実施形態の第1経路規制部材40の構造は適宜変更可能である。
・例えば図13に示すように、被覆部43のうち、第1裾部71の一端と第2裾部72の一端とを連結する部分を省略してもよい。この場合の第1経路規制部材40は、例えば、C字状の第1収容部81とC字状の第2収容部82とが仕切り部70の中間部73により連結された構造に形成される。また、本変更例の第1経路規制部材40では、第1裾部71と第2裾部72との間の空間S1がY軸方向において中間部73から離れる方向に開口している。このため、第1経路規制部材40とは別の部材が第1経路規制部材40の近傍に設けられる場合に、例えば別の部材を空間S1に逃がすことにより、その別の部材と第1経路規制部材40とが干渉することを好適に抑制できる。
・上記第1~第3実施形態及び上記第5実施形態では、第1経路規制部材40が合成樹脂材料にて構成されたが、これ以外に例えば、第1経路規制部材40を金属材料にて構成してもよい。この構成によれば、金属材料にて構成された第1経路規制部材40によって、外部から第1外装部材22及び第2外装部材32に伝わる熱を効果的に遮熱することが可能となる。なお、第3実施形態では、第1経路規制部材40を金属製とした場合、金属製の第1経路規制部材40が第1外装部材22に触れることを、合成樹脂製の第2経路規制部材50によって抑制することが可能となる。その結果、金属製の第1経路規制部材40との接触による第1外装部材22の摩耗を抑制可能となる。
前記一対の腕部(44a,44b)の一方の内周面には、前記第2本体部(51)の外周面における前記一方の腕部(44a)側の半分が密着してもよい。
