- Each second locking portion 322A has a cantilever structure. Therefore, when viewed from the X direction, the pair of second locking portions 322A can bend toward the outside of the first left guide groove 320A in the Y direction. That is, when viewed from the X direction, the left second locking portion 322A can bend toward the left, and the right second locking portion 322A can bend toward the right.
- a second locking protrusion 322aA is provided at the upper end of each second locking portion 322A.
- each second locking protrusion 322aA protrudes toward the inside of the first left guide groove 320A in the Y direction. That is, when viewed from the X direction, the left second locking protrusion 322aA protrudes toward the right, and the right second locking protrusion 322aA protrudes toward the left.
- the upper surface of each second locking protrusion 322aA is inclined downward as it approaches the inside of the first left guide groove 320A in the Y direction.
- the lower surface of each second locking protrusion 322aA is inclined upward as it approaches the inside of the first left guide groove 320A in the Y direction.
- the pair of first locking portions 312A form a locking structure that locks the first low-voltage wiring member 510A inserted into the first right guide groove 310A. Specifically, the pair of first locking portions 312A detachably lock the first low-voltage wiring member 510A into the first right guide groove 310A.
- the first low-voltage wiring member 510A is placed above the pair of first locking portions 312A.
- the minimum value of the width in the Y direction of the gap between the pair of first locking protrusions 312aA is less than the diameter of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A in a direction perpendicular to the X direction.
- the first low-voltage wiring member 510A is moved toward the first right guide groove 310A so that the lower surface of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A and the upper surfaces of each first locking protrusion 312aA come into contact with each other.
- the first low-voltage wiring member 510A is then pushed toward the first right guide groove 310A.
- the lower surface of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A slides against the upper surfaces of the pair of first locking protrusions 312aA and the pair of first locking portions 312A bend outward in the Y direction of the first right guide groove 310A.
- the first low-voltage wiring member 510A passes through the gap between the pair of first locking protrusions 312aA and enters the first right guide groove 310A.
- the pair of first locking portions 312A no longer receive external force from the first low-voltage wiring member 510A, and the Y-direction deflection of the pair of first locking portions 312A is released. Therefore, the minimum value of the Y-direction width of the gap between the pair of first locking protrusions 312aA becomes less than the diameter of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A in a direction perpendicular to the X-direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first low-voltage wiring member 510A from detaching from the first right guide groove 310A through the gap between the pair of first locking protrusions 312aA. Therefore, the first low-voltage wiring member 510A is locked in the first right guide groove 310A.
- the following describes how to remove the first low-voltage wiring member 510A from the first right guide groove 310A.
- the first low-voltage wiring member 510A is moved upward so that the upper surface of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A and the lower surfaces of each of the first locking projections 312aA come into contact with each other.
- the first low-voltage wiring member 510A is pushed upward into the first right guide groove 310A.
- the upper surface of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A slides against the lower surfaces of the pair of first locking projections 312aA and the pair of first locking portions 312A bend outward in the Y direction of the first right guide groove 310A.
- the first low-voltage wiring member 510A passes through the gap between the pair of first locking protrusions 312aA and comes out of the first right guide groove 310A.
- the pair of first locking portions 312A no longer receive external force from the first low-voltage wiring member 510A, and the bending of the pair of first locking portions 312A in the Y direction is released.
- each first locking projection 312aA when viewed from the X direction, the upper surface of each first locking projection 312aA is inclined downward as it approaches the inside of the first right guide groove 310A in the Y direction. Therefore, compared to when the upper surface of each first locking projection 312aA is approximately parallel to the Y direction, when the first low-voltage wiring member 510A is pushed toward the first right guide groove 310A with the lower surface of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A and the upper surfaces of each first locking projection 312aA in contact with each other, the pair of first locking portions 312A can be easily deflected toward the outside of the first right guide groove 310A in the Y direction.
- each first locking projection 312aA when viewed from the X direction, the lower surface of each first locking projection 312aA is inclined upward as it approaches the inside of the first right guide groove 310A in the Y direction. Therefore, compared to a case in which the upper surface of each first locking projection 312aA is approximately parallel to the Y direction, when the first low-voltage wiring member 510A is pushed upward into the first right guide groove 310A with the upper surface of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A and the lower surfaces of each first locking projection 312aA in contact with each other, the pair of first locking portions 312A can be easily deflected toward the outside of the first right guide groove 310A in the Y direction.
- each first locking protrusion 312aA when viewed from the X direction, is curved along the outer surface of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A inserted into the first right guide groove 310A. Therefore, when viewed from the X direction, the gap between the lower surface of each first locking protrusion 312aA and the outer surface of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A can be reduced. Therefore, rattling of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A within the first right guide groove 310A can be suppressed.
- the pair of second locking portions 322A form a locking structure that locks the first lower high-voltage wiring member 520A inserted into the first left guide groove 320A.
- the pair of second locking portions 322A detachably lock the first lower high-voltage wiring member 520A to the first left guide groove 320A.
- the diameter of the first lower high-voltage wiring member 520A in a direction perpendicular to the X direction is less than the diameter of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A in a direction perpendicular to the X direction.
- the relationship between the diameter of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A and the diameter of the first lower high-voltage wiring member 520A is not limited to this example.
- the first guide member 300A will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 8, and, if necessary, Figures 6 and 7.
- the first right guide groove 310A has multiple pairs of first locking portions 312A arranged at non-equidistant intervals and substantially parallel to the X direction. However, the multiple pairs of first locking portions 312A may also be arranged at equal intervals and substantially parallel to the X direction.
- the first left guide groove 320A has multiple pairs of second locking portions 322A arranged at non-equidistant intervals and substantially parallel to the X direction. However, the multiple pairs of second locking portions 322A may also be arranged at equal intervals and substantially parallel to the X direction.
- the X-direction positions of the first locking portions 312A and the X-direction positions of the second locking portions 322A are offset from each other and are substantially parallel to the X-direction. Specifically, none of the first locking portions 312A provided on the first partition 308A and none of the second locking portions 322A provided on the first partition 308A are aligned in the X-direction.
- the strength of the first partition 308A around each of the first locking portions 312A and each of the second locking portions 322A can be improved with the width of the first partition 308A in the Y-direction narrowed. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to achieve both a smaller size and higher strength for the first guide member 300A compared to the above-mentioned case.
- the X-direction spacing between each first locking portion 312A provided on first partition 308A and each second locking portion 322A provided on first partition 308A can be, for example, 50% or more of the Y-direction width of first partition 308A.
- the durability of first partition 308A around first locking portion 312A and second locking portion 322A can be improved compared to when the spacing is less than this numerical value.
- the distance in the X direction between each of the first locking portions 312A provided on the first partition 308A and each of the second locking portions 322A provided on the first partition 308A is the distance in the X direction between the portion of each of the first locking portions 312A closest to each of the second locking portions 322A and the portion of each of the second locking portions 322A closest to each of the first locking portions 312A, as illustrated by the letter "d" in FIG. 8.
- the first locking portion 312A is provided on both the first right wall 304A and the first partition 308A.
- the first locking portion 312A may not be provided on the first right wall 304A, and the first locking portion 312A may be provided on the first partition 308A.
- the second locking portion 322A is provided on both the first left wall 306A and the first partition 308A.
- the second locking portion 322A may not be provided on the first left wall 306A, and the second locking portion 322A may be provided on the first partition 308A.
- the letters "LV” are marked in three places on the top surface of the first bottom 302A in the first right guide groove 310A.
- "LV" means, for example, low pressure. Therefore, by marking with letters, numbers, figures, symbols, etc. on at least one of the top surface of the first bottom 302A in the first right guide groove 310A and the top surface of the first bottom 302A in the first left guide groove 320A, it is possible to indicate the wiring member to be inserted into each groove. Therefore, compared to a case where the mark is not marked, it is possible to prevent the wiring member from being erroneously inserted into each groove.
- the method of forming the mark is not particularly limited.
- the mark may be formed, for example, by embossing or by a laser marker.
- the engagement of the first low voltage wiring member 510A in the first right guide groove 310A and the engagement of the first lower high voltage wiring member 520A in the first left guide groove 320A described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 to FIG. 8 can be similarly applied to the engagement of the second lower high voltage wiring member 520B in the second right guide groove 310B and the engagement of the second lower high voltage wiring member 520B in the second left guide groove 320B.
- the second guide member 300B has a pair of third engagement portions 312B and a pair of fourth engagement portions 322B.
- the pair of third engagement portions 312B are provided in the second right guide groove 310B.
- the pair of fourth engagement portions 322B are provided in the second left guide groove 320B.
- the first guide member 300A will be described with reference to Figure 9, and if necessary, with reference to Figure 3.
- a retaining protrusion 307A protrudes upward from the upper end of the first left wall 306A.
- the retaining protrusion 307A retains the right end of the first mounting protrusion 420A. Therefore, the Z-direction position of the first support 400A is higher than the Z-direction position of the first low voltage wiring member 510A and the Z-direction position of the first lower high voltage wiring member 520A. Therefore, the upper high voltage wiring member 530 can be supported at a higher position in the Z direction than the first right guide groove 310A and the first left guide groove 320A.
- noise interference between the upper high voltage wiring member 530 and the first low voltage wiring member 510A can be suppressed compared to the case where the Z-direction position of the upper high voltage wiring member 530 and the Z-direction position of the first low voltage wiring member 510A are aligned in the Z direction.
- noise interference between the first lower high-voltage wiring member 520A and the upper high-voltage wiring member 530 can be suppressed compared to when the Z-direction position of the upper high-voltage wiring member 530 and the Z-direction position of the first lower high-voltage wiring member 520A are aligned in the Z direction.
- the diameter of the upper high-voltage wiring member 530 in a direction perpendicular to the X direction is smaller than both the diameter of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A in a direction perpendicular to the X direction and the diameter of the first lower high-voltage wiring member 520A in a direction perpendicular to the X direction.
- the relationship between the diameter of the first low-voltage wiring member 510A, the diameter of the first lower high-voltage wiring member 520A, and the diameter of the upper high-voltage wiring member 530 is not limited to this example.
- the positional relationship between the first low voltage wiring member 510A, the first lower high voltage wiring member 520A, and the upper high voltage wiring member 530 described with reference to Figures 9 and 3 can also be applied to the positional relationship between the second low voltage wiring member 510B, the second lower high voltage wiring member 520B, and the upper high voltage wiring member 530.
- FIG. 10 shows a modified example of FIG. 7.
- a convex portion 321A is provided on the upper surface of the first bottom portion 302A in the first left guide groove 320A.
- the convex portion 321A is formed, for example, by a mark such as "LV" shown in FIG. 8.
- the Z-direction height of the convex portion 321A is adjusted to an appropriate height, even if a wiring member having a diameter larger than the diameter of the wiring member to be inserted into the first left guide groove 320A is inserted into the first left guide groove 320A, the pair of second locking protrusions 322aA contact the wiring member, and the Y-direction deflection of the pair of second locking portions 322A is not released. Therefore, compared to when the protrusion 321A does not exist, it is possible to prevent the wiring member from being erroneously inserted into the first left guide groove 320A. Also, the markings such as "LV" can be visually recognized as grooves through which wiring for the Lower Voltage side should be passed.
- each guide member defines two guide grooves extending in a given direction.
- a guide member may define three or more guide grooves extending in a given direction.
