DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a clip for fixing a wire harness to a mounting plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 13 is an overall perspective view showing a conventional clip of this type, and FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a mounted state of the clip shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 13, a clip 1 is formed by bending an elastic metal plate, and has a flat harness fixing portion 3 to which a wire harness W is fixed by a tape or the like.
And a clip portion 5 integrally bent from the harness fixing portion 3. The clip portion 5 has two inclined plate portions 7 which are folded and have a substantially V-shaped cross section and are opposed to each other, and the harness fixing portion 3 side (anti-V-shaped tip side) of both inclined plate portions 7 is substantially parallel. It is bent to become. Opposite slits 9 are formed in both inclined plate portions 7.

[0004] A mounting groove 13 is formed in the mounting plate portion 11 on which the clip 1 is mounted. For mounting the clip 1, the slit 9 is aligned with the mounting plate portion 11, and the clip portion 5 is inserted into the mounting groove 13 from the V-shaped tip 7a. In the mounted state in which the V-shaped tip 7a is in contact with the bottom 13a of the mounting groove 13, as shown in FIG.
1 a is inserted, the mounting plate portion 11 is fitted into the slit 9, and the slit starting portion 9 a on the V-shaped tip 7 a side is elastically supported by the opposing wall 11 a of the mounting groove 13 by the elastic force of the inclined plate portion 7. The clip 1 in such a mounted state is in the anti-insertion direction (the arrow Y direction in FIG. 14) given from the wire harness W.
In the direction of crossing with the mounting plate 11 (FIG. 14), the slit starting portion 9a and the opposing wall 11a engage with each other.
With respect to the force in the direction intersecting with the inner surface of the sheet, the slit 9 and the mounting plate 11 are firmly held by the fitting between the slit 9 and the mounting plate 11 without causing displacement or rattling.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional clip 1, since the harness fixing portion 3 is made of a metal plate, when a strong force is applied to the fixed wire harness W, There is a possibility that the coating material of the wire harness W that contacts the corner of the harness fixing portion 3 may be damaged.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, a strong force acts on the wire harness W fixed to the clip 1 in the mounted state in a direction crossing the inclined plate portion 7 (the direction of arrow Z in FIG. 15). In this case, the inclined plate portion 7 is elastically deformed and the slit 9
The clip 1 is tilted about the slit starting portion 9a while the wire harness W is fitted to the mounting plate 11, and the wire harness W may be displaced up and down or rattled largely.

[0007] Further, the clip 1 in the mounted state has the slit starting portion 9a of the inclined plate portion 7 having the opposite wall 11a of the mounting groove 13.
When the wire harness W is removed together with the clip 1 from the mounting plate portion 11 for maintenance or the like, if the clip 1 is to be pulled out as it is, the slit start portion 9a is attached to the opposing wall 11a of the mounting groove 13. There was a risk that the opposing wall 11a would be cut off and the mounting plate 11 would need to be replaced.

In order to prevent such inconvenience, the clip 1 is pulled out while pressing the clip portion 5 from both outer sides so that the opening angle of the V-shaped tip (7a) side of the clip portion 5 is reduced. It is sufficient that the slit 9
The inclined plate portions 7 facing each other on both sides separated by the (mounting plate portion 11) must be pressed at the same time, which requires a jig having a special shape, and the operation is complicated.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention can obtain a strong mounting state against forces from all directions without fear of damaging the wire harness, and can be easily removed without damaging the mounting plate portion. It is intended to provide clips that can be used.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, slits are formed opposite to each other at two opposing inclined plate portions of an elastic metal plate folded in a substantially V-shaped cross section. In a state in which a mounting groove having a mounting groove with an open end is formed, the opposed wall of the mounting groove is inserted into the slit and the mounting plate is fitted in a state where the mounting groove is pushed into the mounting groove from the V-shaped front end. In addition, a clip body in which a slit start portion on a V-shaped tip side is elastically supported by an opposing wall of the mounting groove by an elastic force of the inclined plate portion, a clip body holding portion that holds the clip body, and a wire harness, A resin-made harness fixing portion fixed in a non-contact state with the clip body; and a harness fixing portion provided inside the V-shape of the clip body and inserted into the mounting groove inserted inside the slit and contacting the inner surface of the mounting groove. Contact and hold the clip body And a base body having a tilt restricting portion that suppresses tilting of the clip body, wherein both of the inclined plate portions separated by the slit are elastically adjusted so that the opening angle of the V-shaped tip side of the clip body is reduced. It is characterized in that a release mechanism capable of holding in a deformed state is provided.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the wire harness is provided with the resin harness fixing portion to be fixed in a non-contact state with the clip body, there is no possibility that the fixed wire harness is damaged.

[0012] Also, so that the slit fits the mounting plate portion,
When the clip body is inserted into the mounting groove from the V-shaped tip, the clip is mounted on the mounting plate portion. In this mounting state, both inclined plate portions are elastically deformed to the inside of the V shape, and the opposing walls of the mounting groove are inserted into the slit. The mounting plate portion is fitted into the slit, the slit starting portion on the V-shaped tip side is elastically supported by the opposing wall of the mounting groove by the elastic force of the inclined plate portion, and further inside the mounting groove inserted inside the slit. Since the tilt restricting portion is inserted, the clip in the mounted state does not respond to the force in the direction opposite to the insertion direction due to the engagement between the slit start portion and the opposing wall due to the engagement in the opposite direction. The fitting between the slit and the mounting plate, and the contact between the tilt control part and the inner surface of the mounting groove against the force in the direction intersecting with the inclined plate, is strong without displacement or backlash. Is held.

Further, the release mechanism elastically deforms both of the inclined plate portions separated by the slit so that the opening angle at the V-shaped tip side of the clip body is narrowed, thereby releasing the elastic support of the slit start portion with respect to the opposing wall. The clip can be easily detached from the mounting plate without damaging the mounting plate by pulling the clip out of the mounting groove in this state.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the clip according to the first aspect, wherein the release mechanism includes a first locking position and a V-shape of the clip body more than the first locking position. At least two of the distal end second locking positions are supported so as to be freely engageable with the base body, and when in the first locking position, they are not in contact with the inclined plate portion of the clip body and the second And a holder having a pressing portion for pressing the outer surface of the inclined plate portion when it is at the locking position.

According to the second aspect of the invention, in addition to the operation of the first aspect, when the clip is used, the holder is supported by the base body at the first locking position, and the clip is removed. If so, the holder is moved to the second locking position. When the holder is moved to the second locking position, the pressing portion presses the outer surface of the inclined plate portion, and both of the inclined plate portions separated by the slit are elastically deformed. It is kept in the released state. Therefore, since the holder is supported at the second locking position and the clip may be pulled out from the mounting groove as it is, the clip can be more easily removed.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the clip according to the first aspect, wherein the release mechanism is provided on a locking portion provided on both inclined plate portions of the clip body and on the base body. And an engaging portion which is engageable with the engaging portion when the two inclined plate portions of the clip body are elastically deformed in a direction approaching each other.

According to the third aspect of the invention, in addition to the operation of the first aspect, when the clip is detached,
The engaging portion of the clip body is moved inward of the V-shape to engage the engaging portion of the base body. When the engaging portion is engaged with the engaging portion,
Both of the inclined plate portions separated by the slit are elastically deformed, and the elastic support of the slit start portion with respect to the opposing wall is maintained in a released state. Therefore, it is not necessary to simultaneously press both of the inclined plate portions separated by the slit, and the engaging portion can be sequentially engaged with the engaging portion and the clip can be pulled out from the mounting groove as it is, so that the clip can be further simplified. Can be removed.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the clip according to the first aspect, wherein the release mechanism is provided on both outer sides of the V-shape of the clip body and receives a pressing force from both outer sides of the V-shape. A flexible arm that is deformed toward the inclined plate portion of the clip body, and a projection portion that is provided on the arm and elastically deforms the inclined plate portion in a direction in which the inclined plate portion approaches under the pressing force. It is characterized by having.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, in addition to the operation of the first aspect of the invention, when the clip is detached,
The arm is pressed from both sides of the V-shape. When the arm is pressed, both of the inclined plate portions separated by the slits are pressed by the protrusions to be elastically deformed, and are held in a state where the elastic support of the slit start portion with respect to the opposing wall is released. Therefore,
By pulling out the clip from the mounting groove while pressing the arm, the clip can be easily removed, and after pulling out, the clip can be reused just by stopping the pressing of the arm.

The insertion base 37 is connected to the V of the clip body 23.
In the assembled state inserted into the inside of the character, the inclination of the clip body 23 about the front end 37a of the insertion base 37 is regulated by the clip body inclination regulating portion 43.
Before mounting on the slanting plate, the inclined plate portion 27 is inclined, and the locking between the claw portion 29 and the locking protrusion 57 is hardly released. Accordingly, the clip body 23 can be reliably prevented from coming off the base body 25, and the workability of mounting the clip 21 to the mounting plate 11 can be improved.

To remove the clip 21 from the mounting plate 11, the base body 25 is strongly pressed together with the wire harness W in the insertion direction while pulling the flange portion 59 of the holder 51 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction (the direction of arrow Y in FIG. 4). I do. As a result, the side walls 51c and 51d of the holder 51 bend outward and the locking projections 45 are disengaged from the first engagement holes 61, and when further pressed, the locking projections 45 engage with the second engagement holes 63. And

It is a through-hole formed in the insertion base 37 of the base body 25 so as to engage with the locking portion 73 moved toward. When the two locking portions 73 are respectively engaged with the engaging portions 75, the inclined plate portions 27 on the side where the locking portions 29 are provided are elastically deformed on both sides of the slit 31, respectively. The opening angle on the V-shaped tip 27a side becomes smaller.

As shown in FIG. 8, the engaging portion 75 is inserted from the engaging portion 73 of the clip body 23 in the insertion direction (the direction of arrow Y in FIG. 8) while the clip body 23 is held by the base body 25.
Is provided at a position slightly shifted along with the locking portion 73 (for example, the shift t between the two is 0 mm <t <1 mm). The reason why the engaging portion 75 is slightly shifted from the locking portion 73 in the insertion direction is that the clip inclined plate portion 27 is provided.
When an external force P acts on the outside of the V-shape, the locking portion 73 moves to the inside of the V-shape while escaping in the anti-insertion direction (the direction of arrow Q in FIG. 8). This is to prevent the engaging portion 73 from being unnecessarily engaged with the engaging portion 75 due to the action of the external force P during the mounting operation or the like. Note that the engaging portions 75 may be provided separately for the two locking portions 73, or may be provided integrally.

According to the present embodiment, when the clip 71 is to be removed from the mounting plate portion 11, the two locking portions 73 of the clip body 23 are fixed to the jig 77 so that the locking projections 39 are bent.

When the engaging portion 73 is engaged with the engaging portion 75, both of the inclined plate portions 27 separated by the slit 31 are elastically deformed so as to narrow the opening angle on the V-shaped tip 27a side, and the slit to the opposing wall 11a starts. The elastic support of the portion 31a is kept released.

As described above, there is no need to simultaneously press both of the inclined plate portions 27 separated by the slits 31.
Two locking parts 7 by a simple jig 77 such as a screwdriver
3 is sequentially engaged with the engaging portion 75, and then the clip 71 can be pulled out of the mounting groove 13 by applying a force only in the pulling-out direction, so that the clip 71 can be easily removed without damaging the mounting plate portion 11. Can be removed.

The clip 71 removed from the mounting plate portion 11 can be reused by removing the locking portion 73 from the engaging portion 75.

It should be noted that the fixed wire harness W is not damaged, and the clip 71 in the mounted state is firmly held against forces from all directions. The same is true.

Next, a third embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a main part of the clip according to the present embodiment, FIG. 11 is a side cross-sectional view showing a mounted state of the clip of FIG. 10, and FIG. 12 is a side cross-sectional view showing a state of removing the clip of FIG. FIG. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

The clip 81 according to this embodiment is similar to the clip 81 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 0, an arm 85 and a projection 83 as a release mechanism are provided in place of the holder 51 of the first embodiment.

The arm 85 has both ends 87 at the both sides of the base body 25 so as to extend along the direction crossing the V-shaped cross section on both outer sides of the V-shaped body of the clip body 23 held by the base body 25. It is supported by the part 35. Accordingly, the arm 85 is deformed toward the inclined plate portion 27 of the clip body 23 under the pressing force from both outsides of the V-shape.

The projections 83 are provided at four positions of the arm 85 so as to face the four inclined plate portions 27 separated by the slits 31 respectively. Projection 83
When the arm 85 receives the pressing force, the arm 85 presses the inclined plate portion 27 to elastically deform the opposed inclined plate portion 27 in a direction approaching each other. In a state where the projection 83 is not receiving the pressing force, the projection 83 comes into contact with the inclined plate portion 27 of the clip body 23 to regulate the inclination of the clip body 23 about the distal end 37 a of the insertion base 37 substantially at the center. Therefore, the clip 81 is not provided with the separate clip body inclination restricting portion 43 as in the first embodiment.

According to the present embodiment, when the clip 81 is to be removed from the mounting plate portion 11, the approximate center of the arm 85 is pressed from both outer sides of the V-shape (see FIG. 11). When the arm 85 is pressed, both the inclined plate portions 27 separated by the slits 31 are pressed by the protrusions 83 and elastically deform so as to narrow the opening angle on the V-shaped tip 27a side, and the slit start portion 31a with respect to the opposing wall 11a. Is held in a state where the elastic support is released (see FIG. 12). Therefore, by pulling out the clip 81 from the mounting groove 13 while pressing the arm 85, the clip 8 can be removed without damaging the mounting plate 11.

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the wire harness is fixed to the resin harness fixing portion provided in non-contact with the clip body, the wire harness may be damaged. There is no.

When the clip is mounted, the mounting plate portion is fitted into the slit, and the slit starting portion on the V-shaped tip side is elastically supported by the opposing wall of the mounting groove by the elastic force of the inclined plate portion. Since the tilt restricting portion is inserted inside the mounting groove inserted into the mounting groove, the force in the direction intersecting with the mounting plate portion due to the engagement between the slit start portion and the opposing wall against the force in the anti-insertion direction. When the slit is fitted to the mounting plate, and when the force in the direction crossing the inclined plate is in contact with the tilt control part and the inner surface of the mounting groove, misalignment or rattling may occur. And a strong mounting state against forces from all directions can be obtained.

Further, the clip can be pulled out from the mounting groove while the elastic support of the slit start portion with respect to the opposing wall is released by the release mechanism, and the clip can be easily removed from the mounting plate without damaging the mounting plate. Can be removed.

According to the second or third aspect of the invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, when the clip is pulled out from the mounting groove, a force may be applied only in the pulling direction. Therefore, the clip can be more easily removed.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, after the clip is removed from the mounting plate, the clip can be reused immediately just by stopping the pressing of the arm.
