Moreover, the shield member can suppress the influence of electromagnetic waves generated from the high voltage line from reaching the low voltage line.

First, an insulating coating is applied to the inner and outer peripheries of a metal cylinder to form the conductive pipe 20 (see FIG. 2). The outer periphery of the electric wire 10 is covered with a shield member 30. The electric wire 10 is passed through the conductive pipe 20 while being covered with the shield member 30 (see FIG. 2). The first connecting portion 43 of the first additional electric wire 40 is fixed by the first fixing member 44 while being in contact with the first exposed surface 24 of the conductive pipe 20 (see FIG. 3).

The first waterproof member 61 is connected to the conductive pipe 20 by a connecting member 62 and to the first exterior member 60 by a connecting member 63. A connector 14 is attached to one end of the electric wire 10. Connector 14 is connected to high voltage battery 93.

A connector 45 is attached to the end of the first supplementary wire 40 on the opposite side from the first connection portion 43 side. Connector 45 is connected to low voltage battery 94 .

 第2防水部材71及び第2外装部材70の内部には、導電パイプ20の他方の開口から出た電線10と第2継ぎ足し電線50とが通される(図2、図3参照)。第2防水部材71は、連結部材72によって導電パイプ20に連結され、連結部材73によって第2外装部材70に連結される。電線10の他端には、コネクタ15が取り付けられる。コネクタ15は、第1車載機器91に接続される。これにより、電線10の他端が、第1車載機器91に電気的に接続される。第2継ぎ足し電線50の第2接続部53側とは反対側の端部には、コネクタ55が取り付けられる。コネクタ55は、第2車載機器92に接続される。これにより、第2継ぎ足し電線50の第2接続部53側とは反対側の端部が、第2車載機器92に電気的に接続される。 The electric wire 10 coming out from the other opening of the conductive pipe 20 and the second additional electric wire 50 are passed through the second waterproof member 71 and the second exterior member 70 (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

(ワイヤハーネスWの作用)
 ワイヤハーネスWは、電線10を高圧線として利用し、電線10の外周を覆う導電パイプ20を低圧線として利用することができる。このため、構造の簡易化を図りつつ、高圧線と低圧線を並走させることができる。更に、電線10と導電パイプ20との間には、シールド部材30が介在しており、電線10の外周は、シールド部材30によって覆われている。このため、シールド部材30によって、高圧線から生じた電磁波の影響が低圧線に及ぶことを抑制するとともに、ワイヤハーネスWの外部に漏れることを抑制することができる。また、導電パイプ20によって構成される低圧線の強度を高めることができるとともに、導電パイプ20によって、内部に配置された電線10を保護することができる。
(Function of wire harness W)
The wire harness W can use the electric wire 10 as a high-voltage line, and use the conductive pipe 20 covering the outer periphery of the electric wire 10 as a low-voltage line. Therefore, the high voltage line and the low voltage line can be made to run in parallel while simplifying the structure. Further, a shield member 30 is interposed between the electric wire 10 and the conductive pipe 20, and the outer periphery of the electric wire 10 is covered with the shield member 30. Therefore, the shield member 30 can suppress the influence of electromagnetic waves generated from the high voltage line from reaching the low voltage line, and can also suppress leakage to the outside of the wire harness W. Further, the strength of the low voltage line constituted by the conductive pipe 20 can be increased, and the electric wire 10 disposed inside can be protected by the conductive pipe 20.
 更に、導電パイプ20は、筒状の導電層21と、導電層21の内周を覆う筒状の内側絶縁層22と、を有している。このため、導電パイプ20の導電層21がシールド部材30に接触することを回避できる。 Further, the conductive pipe 20 includes a cylindrical conductive layer 21 and a cylindrical inner insulating layer 22 that covers the inner circumference of the conductive layer 21. Therefore, the conductive layer 21 of the conductive pipe 20 can be prevented from contacting the shield member 30.
 更に、導電パイプ20は、導電層21の外周を覆う筒状の外側絶縁層23を有している。このため、導電パイプ20の導電層21が外部の導体に接触することを回避できる。 Further, the conductive pipe 20 has a cylindrical outer insulating layer 23 that covers the outer periphery of the conductive layer 21. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the conductive layer 21 of the conductive pipe 20 from coming into contact with an external conductor.
 更に、導電層21の外周面は、導電パイプ20の長さ方向の一方側の端部に外側絶縁層23から露出した第1露出面24と、他方側の端部に外側絶縁層23から露出した第2露出面25と、を有している。ワイヤハーネスWは、第1露出面24に電気的に接続される第1継ぎ足し電線40と、第2露出面25に電気的に接続される第2継ぎ足し電線50と、を備えている。第1継ぎ足し電線40及び第2継ぎ足し電線50は、いずれも可撓性を有している。この構成によれば、導電パイプ20によって剛性の高い導電路を構成することができ、第1継ぎ足し電線40及び第2継ぎ足し電線50によって撓みやすい導電路を構成することができる。また、第1継ぎ足し電線40及び第2継ぎ足し電線50が導電層21の外周面に接続されるため、第1継ぎ足し電線40及び第2継ぎ足し電線50がシールド部材30に接触することを回避できる。 Further, the outer peripheral surface of the conductive layer 21 includes a first exposed surface 24 exposed from the outer insulating layer 23 at one end of the conductive pipe 20 in the length direction, and a first exposed surface 24 exposed from the outer insulating layer 23 at the other end. It has a second exposed surface 25. The wire harness W includes a first supplementary electric wire 40 electrically connected to the first exposed surface 24 and a second supplementary electric wire 50 electrically connected to the second exposed surface 25. Both the first additional electric wire 40 and the second additional electric wire 50 have flexibility. According to this configuration, a highly rigid conductive path can be configured by the conductive pipe 20, and a flexible conductive path can be configured by the first supplementary electric wire 40 and the second supplementary electric wire 50. Further, since the first supplementary electric wire 40 and the second supplementary electric wire 50 are connected to the outer peripheral surface of the conductive layer 21, it is possible to avoid the first supplementary electric wire 40 and the second supplementary electric wire 50 from coming into contact with the shield member 30.
 更に、ワイヤハーネスWは、導電パイプ20の一方側の開口から出た電線10と第1継ぎ足し電線40とを内部に配置させる筒状の第1外装部材60と、他方側の開口から出た電線10と第2継ぎ足し電線50とを内部に配置させる筒状の第2外装部材70と、を備えている。第1外装部材60及び第2外装部材70は、いずれも可撓性を有している。この構成によれば、導電パイプ20の一方側の開口から出た電線10と第1継ぎ足し電線40を第1外装部材60の内部でまとめて配置させることができ、他方側の開口から出た電線10と第2継ぎ足し電線50を第2外装部材70の内部でまとめて配置させることができる。しかも、導電パイプ20の一方側の開口から出た電線10と第1継ぎ足し電線40を第1外装部材60とともに曲げやすく、他方側の開口から出た電線10と第2継ぎ足し電線50を第2外装部材70とともに曲げやすい。 Furthermore, the wire harness W includes a cylindrical first exterior member 60 in which the electric wire 10 and the first supplementary electric wire 40 that come out from an opening on one side of the conductive pipe 20 are disposed, and an electric wire that comes out from an opening on the other side. 10 and a cylindrical second exterior member 70 in which the second additional electric wire 50 is disposed. Both the first exterior member 60 and the second exterior member 70 have flexibility. According to this configuration, the electric wire 10 coming out of the opening on one side of the conductive pipe 20 and the first additional electric wire 40 can be arranged together inside the first exterior member 60, and the electric wire coming out from the opening on the other side 10 and the second additional electric wire 50 can be arranged together inside the second exterior member 70. Moreover, the electric wire 10 and the first supplementary electric wire 40 coming out from the opening on one side of the conductive pipe 20 are easily bent together with the first exterior member 60, and the electric wire 10 and the second supplementary electric wire 50 coming out from the opening on the other side can be easily bent with the second exterior member 60. It is easy to bend together with the member 70.
 更に、ワイヤハーネスWは、導電パイプ20の外側絶縁層23と第1外装部材60との端部同士をつなぎ、第1露出面24に対する第1継ぎ足し電線40の第1接続部43を覆う筒状の第1防水部材61を備えている。この構成によれば、第1露出面24に対する第1継ぎ足し電線40の第1接続部43を、第1防水部材61によって防水することができる。また、ワイヤハーネスWは、導電パイプ20の外側絶縁層23と第2外装部材70との端部同士をつなぎ、第2露出面25に対する第2継ぎ足し電線50の第2接続部53を覆う筒状の第2防水部材71を備えている。この構成によれば、第2露出面25に対する第2継ぎ足し電線50の第2接続部53を、第2防水部材71によって防水することができる。 Furthermore, the wire harness W has a cylindrical shape that connects the ends of the outer insulating layer 23 of the conductive pipe 20 and the first exterior member 60, and covers the first connecting portion 43 of the first supplementary wire 40 to the first exposed surface 24. The first waterproof member 61 is provided. According to this configuration, the first connection portion 43 of the first additional electric wire 40 to the first exposed surface 24 can be waterproofed by the first waterproof member 61. The wire harness W also has a cylindrical shape that connects the ends of the outer insulating layer 23 of the conductive pipe 20 and the second exterior member 70 and covers the second connecting portion 53 of the second additional electric wire 50 to the second exposed surface 25. The second waterproof member 71 is provided. According to this configuration, the second connection portion 53 of the second supplementary electric wire 50 to the second exposed surface 25 can be waterproofed by the second waterproof member 71.
 更に、外側絶縁層23は、高圧線が配策されていることを示す色に着色されている。このため、導電層21の外周を覆う外側絶縁層23の色によって、高圧線が配策されていることを示すことができる。 Further, the outer insulating layer 23 is colored to indicate that a high voltage line is installed therein. Therefore, the color of the outer insulating layer 23 covering the outer periphery of the conductive layer 21 can indicate that a high voltage line is installed.

 実施形態1では、第1継ぎ足し電線及び第2継ぎ足し電線を導電パイプに圧着する構成であったが、別の方法で接続してもよい。実施形態2では、溶接によって接続する構成について説明する。以下では、実施形態1と同じ構成について同じ符号を付し、詳しい説明を省略する。
<Embodiment 2>
In the first embodiment, the first supplementary electric wire and the second supplementary electric wire are crimped to the conductive pipe, but they may be connected by another method. In Embodiment 2, a configuration in which connections are made by welding will be described. In the following, the same components as in Embodiment 1 will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed explanations will be omitted.
 実施形態2の導電パイプ220は、図6及び図7に示すように、電線10の外周を覆う筒状をなしている。導電パイプ220は、導電性を有している。導電パイプ220は、筒状の導電層221と、導電層221の内周を覆う筒状の内側絶縁層222と、導電層221の外周を覆う筒状の外側絶縁層223と、を有している。 The conductive pipe 220 of the second embodiment has a cylindrical shape that covers the outer periphery of the electric wire 10, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The conductive pipe 220 has electrical conductivity. The conductive pipe 220 includes a cylindrical conductive layer 221, a cylindrical inner insulating layer 222 that covers the inner periphery of the conductive layer 221, and a cylindrical outer insulating layer 223 that covers the outer periphery of the conductive layer 221. There is.
 実施形態2の導電パイプ220は、図6及び図7に示すように、長さ方向の一方側の端部に設けられた第1平板部226と、他方側の端部に設けられた第2平板部227と、を有している。導電パイプ220は、第1平板部226及び第2平板部227を有する点で実施形態1の導電パイプ20とは異なり、その他の点で共通する。第1平板部226は、外側絶縁層223から露出した第1露出平面226Aを有している。第2平板部227は、外側絶縁層223から露出した第2露出平面227Aを有している。第1露出平面226A及び第2露出平面227Aは、「露出面」の一例に相当する。第1平板部226及び第2平板部227は、例えばプレス加工によって形成される。 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the conductive pipe 220 of Embodiment 2 has a first flat plate portion 226 provided at one end in the length direction, and a second flat plate portion 226 provided at the other end. It has a flat plate part 227. The conductive pipe 220 differs from the conductive pipe 20 of Embodiment 1 in that it has a first flat plate part 226 and a second flat plate part 227, but is common in other respects. The first flat plate portion 226 has a first exposed plane 226A exposed from the outer insulating layer 223. The second flat plate portion 227 has a second exposed plane 227A exposed from the outer insulating layer 223. The first exposed plane 226A and the second exposed plane 227A correspond to an example of an "exposed surface". The first flat plate portion 226 and the second flat plate portion 227 are formed, for example, by press working.
 第1継ぎ足し電線40の第1接続部43は、第1露出平面226Aに溶接(例えば、超音波溶接)によって接続されている。第2継ぎ足し電線50の第2接続部53は、第2露出平面227Aに溶接(例えば、超音波溶接)によって接続されている。この構成によれば、溶接される面が平面であるため、溶接しやすい。 The first connecting portion 43 of the first additional electric wire 40 is connected to the first exposed plane 226A by welding (for example, ultrasonic welding). The second connecting portion 53 of the second supplementary electric wire 50 is connected to the second exposed plane 227A by welding (for example, ultrasonic welding). According to this configuration, since the surface to be welded is a flat surface, it is easy to weld.
