Here, the end portion of the wire harness on the body side extends further from the body side bracket. At this time, in the state where the body side bracket is temporarily fixed to the door panel, the end portion extending from the body side bracket may interfere with the door panel depending on the extending shape of the end portion and the shape of the temporarily fixed portion on the door panel. .. It is desirable that such interference between the end of the wire harness and the door panel be suppressed as much as possible from the viewpoint of protecting the wire harness.

Up to this point, regarding the problem of interference at the end of the wire harness extending from the bracket in the wire harness with bracket, the wire harness with bracket provided with the wire harness routed from the door panel of the vehicle to the body is taken as an example. I mentioned and explained. However, such problems can generally occur with bracketed wire harnesses, one attached to two structures assembled to the other.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wire harness with a bracket that can suppress interference between the end of the wire harness that has passed through the bracket and the target structure when the bracket is temporarily fixed to the target structure. And.

In order to solve the above problems, in the wire harness with bracket of the present invention, the first end is fixed to the first structure and the wire harness is routed to the second structure to which the first structure is assembled. The wire harness has a tubular shape, and the second end portion of the wire harness is passed through the inside and fixed to the second structure, and is related to the first structure before being assembled to the second structure. A bracket provided with a stoptable hook portion protruding from the outer peripheral surface is provided, and the second end portion of the wire harness is the bracket in a plan view of the bracket viewed from the protruding side of the hook portion. After passing through, one of the left and right regions sandwiching the central axis of the bracket extends as a passing region, and the hook portion has an fitting groove into which the locked portion in the first structure is fitted. It is characterized in that it is provided so as to extend in an inclined direction in which the side of the passing region is higher than the opposite side with respect to the reference plane including the central axis parallel to the viewing plane in the plan view.

In the wire harness with a bracket of the present invention, the bracket can be temporarily fixed via the hook portion of the first structure before being assembled to the second structure as the target structure. At this time, the fitting groove in the hook portion is provided so as to extend in the inclined direction in which the side of the passing region of the second end portion of the wire harness is higher than the opposite side. As a result, the bracket is temporarily fixed in an inclined posture so that the passing region of the second end portion is separated from the first structure. Therefore, the second end portion of the wire harness and the target structure for temporary fixing are temporarily fixed. Interference with the first structure is suppressed. As described above, according to the wire harness with a bracket of the present invention, when the bracket is temporarily fixed to the target structure, the second end (end) of the wire harness passing through the bracket interferes with the target structure. Can be suppressed.

FIG. 5 is a view of the body-side bracket of the wire harness with bracket temporarily fixed to the door panel as viewed from the direction of arrow V13 in FIG. In FIG. 4, the upper side in the figure corresponds to the upper side in the door panel DR, that is, the upper side in the vehicle. That is, FIG. 5 shows a top view of the vehicle in which the body side bracket 13 is temporarily fixed to the door panel as viewed from above. Further, in both FIGS. 4 and 5, the body-side end 112 and the body-side connector 14 of the wire harness 11 are shown only for the stage of step S4 in which the temporary fixing is completed.

Here, FIGS. 1 to 3 and 6 to 11 which will be referred to later show a wire harness with a bracket attached to the right door panel in the vehicle. On the other hand, FIGS. 4 and 5 show a wire harness with a bracket attached to the left door panel in the vehicle. However, since the wire harness with a bracket of the present embodiment is equivalent on the left and right except that it is mirror-symmetrical, the left and right will be described below with the same reference numerals without any particular distinction.

First, at the stage of step S1 in which the door panel side bracket 12 of the wire harness 1 with bracket is fixed to the door panel DR, the wire harness 11 hangs down and the hook portion 132 faces the side opposite to the wide area wall DR 11 in the door panel DR. There is. Here, in the present embodiment, the through hole DR13 is provided in the side wall DR12 formed by bending the wide area wall DR11 from the edge of the wide area wall DR11 to the outside of the vehicle in the door panel DR. The through hole DR13 is used for assembling a door, but in the present embodiment, the inner edge of the through hole DR13 is used as a locked portion to which the hook portion 132 is locked.

In temporarily fixing the body-side bracket 13, the wire harness 11 hanging downward is first lifted in the direction of arrow D12 in FIG. 4 until the extension opening 131 of the body-side end 112 faces upward (step). S2). After that, in steps S3 and S4, the direction of the body side bracket 13 is changed to the direction of the arrow D13 in FIG. 5, and the hook portion 132 is locked to the inner edge of the through hole DR13 in the side wall DR12 of the door panel DR.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a body-side bracket temporarily fixed to the door panel.

As described above, the body side bracket 13 is temporarily fixed to the door panel DR by engaging the hook portion 132 with the inner edge of the through hole DR 13 in the side wall DR 12 of the door panel DR. At this time, in the present embodiment, the groove width W11 of the fitting groove 132c in the hook portion 132 is formed wider than the thickness T11 of the inner edge of the through hole DR13 as the locked portion to be fitted into the fitting groove 132c.

On the other hand, in the wire harness 11, the wire harness 11 is in a locked state in which the hook portion 132 is locked to the inner edge of the through hole DR13 by changing the direction of the body side bracket 13 in the direction of the arrow D13 when temporarily fixing the wire harness 11. It becomes a twisted state twisted in the direction of arrow D14 around the axis. At this time, in this locked state, a restoring force F11 in the direction of the arrow D15 that tries to return from the twisted state acts on the wire harness 11.

FIG. 7 is a plan view of the body-side bracket shown in FIG. 6 as viewed from the direction of arrow V12 in the drawing. Further, FIG. 8 is a view showing a body-side end portion of the wire harness passing through the inside of the body-side bracket, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross section taken along the line V14-V14 in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, the wire harness 11 has a structure in which the electric wire bundle 11b is passed through the inside of the corrugated tube 11a. At the body side end 112, the corrugated tube 11a is terminated inside the tube holding portion 135 of the body side bracket 13. Then, the spherical portion 11c shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is fixed to the terminal portion of the corrugated tube 11a. The wire bundle 11b that has passed through the end portion of the corrugated tube 11a at the body side end portion 112 passes through the inside of the spherical portion 11c and extends from the extension opening 131 of the body side bracket 13. Then, the body-side connector 14 connected to the tip of the electric wire bundle 11b is fixed to the flat surface 133a on the outer peripheral surface 133 of the body-side bracket 13 in an inclined lateral posture as described above.

Here, a pair of locking projections 11c-1 project in the normal direction from the outer surface of the spherical portion 11c at the body side end portion 112. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, a pair of locking projections 135a project inward from the inner surface of the tube holding portion 135 of the body side bracket 13.

When the direction of the body-side bracket 13 is changed in the direction of the arrow D13 during temporary fixing, the body-side bracket 13 is spherical until the locking projection 135a on the inner surface abuts on the locking projection 11c-1 of the spherical portion 11c. It moves relative to the part 11c. Eventually, after the locking projections 135a and 11c-1 come into contact with each other, the spherical portion 11c moves in the same arrow D14 direction as the arrow D13 direction together with the body side bracket 13. As a result, the corrugated tube 11a fixed to the spherical portion 11c and the electric wire bundle 11b passing through the inside, that is, the wire harness 11 is twisted in the direction of arrow D14 about the axis. Then, by being twisted in this way, a restoring force F11 in the direction of the arrow D15 that tries to return from the twisted state acts on the wire harness 11.

As described with reference to FIG. 6, the groove width W11 of the fitting groove 132c in the hook portion 132 of the body side bracket 13 is formed to be wider than the thickness T11 of the inner edge of the through hole DR13 as the locked portion. ing. That is, the hook portion 132 is locked to the inner edge of the through hole DR13 with some rattling. At this time, the restoring force F11 acts on the locked wire harness 11. By this restoring force F11, the facing inner surfaces of the fitting grooves 132c in the hook portion 132 locked with rattling are both pressed against the inner edge of the through hole DR13. By this pressing, rattling in locking of the hook portion 132 is suppressed.

In the wire harness 1 with a bracket of the present embodiment described above, the body side bracket 13 can be temporarily fixed via the hook portion 132 of the door panel DR before being assembled to the body BD as a target structure. At this time, the fitting groove 132c in the hook portion 132 is provided so as to extend in the inclined direction D11 in which the side of the passing region AR12 of the body side end portion 112 of the wire harness 11 is higher than the opposite side. As a result, the body side bracket 13 is temporarily fixed to the door panel DR as follows.

FIG. 10 is a view of the body-side bracket temporarily fixed to the door panel as viewed from the direction of arrow V15 in FIG. 6, that is, from the upper side of the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 10, the through hole DR13 in which the hook portion 132 of the body side bracket 13 is locked to the inner edge is the side wall DR12 formed by bending outward from the edge of the wide area wall DR11 in the door panel DR. It is provided in. The edge wall DR14 is provided by being bent along the wide area wall DR11 from the outer edge of the side wall DR12. When the body-side bracket 13 is temporarily fixed to the door panel DR via the hook portion 132, the edge of the door panel DR reaches the body-side end 112 of the wire harness 11 that passes through the body-side bracket 13 and reaches the body-side connector 14. The wall DR14 is in an extended state.

FIG. 11 shows a comparative example for comparison with the wire harness with brackets shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 so that the body-side bracket temporarily fixed to the door panel is viewed from above in the vehicle, as in FIG. It is a figure shown.

The bracketed wire harness 5 of the comparative example shown in FIG. 11 is equivalent to the bracketed wire harness 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 except for the hook portion 532 of the body side bracket 53. Therefore, in FIG. 11, components equivalent to the components shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 are designated by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 10, and in the following, these equivalent components will be referred to. I will omit the duplicate explanation of.

In this comparative example, the fitting groove 532c in the hook portion 532 is parallel to the viewing plane in a plan view of the body side bracket 53 viewed from the protruding side of the hook portion 532, and the reference plane BP51 including the central axis 53a of the body side bracket 53 is included. It is provided so as to extend parallel to the relative. Further, the hook portion 532 is provided at a position corresponding to the central axis 53a in the above plan view. As a result, in a state where the body side bracket 53 is temporarily fixed to the door panel DR by locking the hook portion 532 to the inner edge of the through hole DR 13 of the side wall DR 12, the body side bracket 53 is in a posture of facing parallel to the side wall DR 12. Become. Then, the body-side end 112 of the wire harness 11 that has passed through the body-side bracket 53 in such a posture interferes with the edge DR14a in the edge wall DR14 of the door panel DR. It is desirable that such interference be suppressed as much as possible from the viewpoint of protecting the wire harness 11.

In contrast to the comparative example described above, in the wire harness 1 with a bracket of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the fitting groove 132c of the hook portion 132 extends in the inclination direction D11 as described above. It is provided. As a result, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the body-side bracket 13 is tilted so that the passage region AR12 of the body-side end 112 is separated from the edge DR14a of the edge wall DR14 of the door panel DR. Will be temporarily fixed at. As a result, the interference between the body side end portion 112 of the wire harness 11 and the edge DR14a of the edge wall DR14 in the door panel DR as the target structure for temporary fixing is suppressed. As described above, according to the wire harness 1 with a bracket of the present embodiment, when the body-side bracket 13 is temporarily fixed, the body-side end 112 of the wire harness 11 passing through the body-side bracket 13 and the above-mentioned edge DR14a Interference with can be suppressed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, a gap Ga 11 is secured between the body side end portion 112 of the wire harness 11 and the edge DR 14a.

Further, in the present embodiment, in a plan view when the body side bracket 13 is viewed from the protruding side of the hook portion 132, the hook portion 132 is located on the side opposite to the passing region AR12 of the body side end portion 112 from the central axis 13a. It is provided at a displaced position. As a result, the body-side bracket 13 is temporarily fixed in an inclined posture so that the passing region AR12 of the body-side end portion 112 is further separated from the edge DR14a. As a result, the interference of the wire harness 11 with the edge DR14a of the body side end portion 112 can be further suppressed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the body-side connector 14 is fixed to the flat surface 133a facing the door panel DR side near the extension opening 131 on the outer peripheral surface 133 of the body-side bracket 13. The body-side connector 14 is fixed in a sideways posture with its connection side with the body-side end 112 toward the passing region AR12. The lateral posture is such that the connection side with the body side end portion 112 is tilted so as to be closer to the tip on the extension opening 131 side than the opposite side in the above plan view.

The body-side connector 14 in such a sideways posture serves to guide the body-side end 112 extending the extension opening 131 to the tip on the side of the extension opening 131 in the above-mentioned plan view. As a result, the body-side end 112 that has passed through the body-side bracket 13 passes through a path further distant from the edge DR 14a when the body-side bracket 13 is temporarily fixed to the door panel DR. As a result, the interference of the wire harness 11 with the edge DR14a of the body side end portion 112 can be further suppressed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the extension opening 131 of the body side end portion 112 of the body side bracket 13 guides the body side end portion 112 to the side opposite to the protruding side of the hook portion 132 and extends the body side end portion 112. It is open to. The protruding side of the hook portion 132 in the body side bracket 13 is the side facing the side wall DR 12 of the door panel DR to which the hook portion 132 is locked. In the present embodiment, the extension opening 131 of the body side bracket 13 guides and extends the body side end portion 112 to the side opposite to the facing side, that is, the side away from the side wall DR12. As a result, the body-side end 112 that has passed through the body-side bracket 13 is further separated from the edge DR14a of the edge wall DR14 that extends from the edge of the side wall DR12 when the body-side bracket 13 is temporarily fixed to the door panel DR. It will pass through the route. As a result, the interference of the wire harness 11 with the edge DR14a of the body side end portion 112 can be further suppressed.

In the present embodiment, in anticipation of the suppression of interference with the edge DR14a due to the positional deviation of the hook portion 132 from the central axis 13a, the lateral posture of the body-side connector 14, and the orientation of the extension opening 131, respectively. At the time of design, the hook portion 132 is downsized. As a result, the body side bracket 13 is downsized.

Further, in the present embodiment, the wire harness 11 is twisted around the axis of the wire harness 11 in a locked state in which the hook portion 132 of the body side bracket 13 is locked to the inner edge of the through hole DR 13 of the door panel DR. It becomes a state. At this time, the groove width W11 of the fitting groove 132c in the hook portion 132 is formed wider than the thickness T11 of the inner edge of the through hole DR13 that fits into the fitting groove 132c. Then, in the above-mentioned locked state, the opposing inner surfaces of the fitting groove 132c are both pressed against the inner edge of the through hole DR13 by the restoring force F11 that the wire harness 11 tries to return from the twisted state. According to the present embodiment, since the groove width W11 of the fitting groove 132c in the hook portion 132 is formed to be wide as described above, the hook portion 132 is locked to the door panel DR under good workability. Can be done. On top of that, in the locked state, the restoring force F11 in the wire harness 11 presses the facing inner surfaces of the fitting groove 132c together against the inner edge of the through hole DR13, so that the groove width W11 is formed wider. It is also possible to suppress rattling caused by being present.
