First embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a conceptual configuration of the electric wire holder 1. This electric wire holder 1 is used, for example, when manufacturing a wire harness for a vehicle, and holds an electric wire. More specifically, the electric wire holder 1 includes a plurality of holding members 10 and a connecting member 20. The plurality of holding members 10 are separate from each other, and each hold at least one electric wire 40. In the illustration of FIG. 1, the plurality of holding members 10 are arranged side by side in the direction D1 (hereinafter referred to as the arrangement direction D1). The connecting member 20 fixes the plurality of holding members 10 so as to be detachable.

  In the illustration of FIG. 1, the electric wires 40 held by one holding member 10 are illustrated, and the electric wires 40 held by the other holding members 10 are omitted.

  According to the electric wire holder 1, since the plurality of holding members 10 are separate from each other and are detachably connected by the connecting member 20, the plurality of holding members 10 can be separated from each other. Therefore, when a failure occurs in any of the plurality of holding members 10, only the holding member 10 in which the failure has occurred can be replaced without removing the other holding members 10.

  Hereinafter, an example of a detailed structure of the holding member 10 and the connecting member 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 is a front view of the holding member 10, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the holding member 10 in the AA section of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a top view of the holding member 10, and FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the holding member 10. ing. In FIG. 2, the design of the holding member 10 omitted in FIG. 1 is also displayed. However, since it is not related to the essence of the present application, detailed description will not be made. In FIG. 3, the connecting member 20 is also indicated by a two-dot chain line in order to clarify the position of the connecting member 20 with respect to the holding member 10.

  Here, an example of a structure for holding the electric wire 40 will be described first. Each of the plurality of holding members 10 has a holding portion 11. The holding portion 11 is made of, for example, an elastic resin material (for example, an elastic material mainly composed of an organic polymer). In the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, the holding portion 11 has a substantially rectangular plate shape when viewed from a direction D2 intersecting the arrangement direction D1 (here, a horizontal direction D2 substantially perpendicular to the arrangement direction D1). The one side of the rectangle is arranged in a posture along the arrangement direction D1.

  Further, the holding portion 11 is formed with a cut portion 11a penetrating itself in the horizontal direction D2. In the illustration of FIG. 1, the cut portion 11a extends along the vertical direction D3 from the end surface of the holding portion 11 located on one side (for example, the upper side) of the vertical direction D3 that is substantially perpendicular to the directions D1 and D2, for example. ing. However, it is not always necessary to extend along the vertical direction D3, and the cut portion 11a may extend while being inclined in the vertical direction D3. The holding portion 11 can hold the electric wire 40 with the electric wire 40 inserted into the cut portion 11 a from the end face.

  1 and 2, the width of the gap in the cut portion 11a in the arrangement direction D1 is the largest in the end face of the holding portion 11 and is narrowed toward the other side (for example, the lower side) of the vertical direction D3. It is constant. Since the gap of the cut portion 11a on the end face side of the holding portion 11 functions as an entrance into which the electric wire 40 is inserted, according to this shape, the electric wire 40 can be easily inserted into the cut portion 11a.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 1, each of the plurality of holding members 10 may have a pair of holding portions 11 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). The pair of holding portions 11 have, for example, the same shape and face each other with a gap in the horizontal direction D2. The holding member 10 holds the electric wires 40 at two locations by inserting one electric wire 40 (or an electric wire group, the same applies hereinafter) to both of the cut portions 11a belonging to the pair of holding portions 11 respectively. (See FIG. 1). Thereby, the holding force with respect to the electric wire 40 of the holding member 10 can be improved.

  1 and 3, the pair of holding portions 11 are connected to each other by a connecting portion 12. The connection part 12 has, for example, a U-shape that opens to one side (for example, the upper side) in the vertical direction D3 when viewed from the horizontal direction D2. That is, the connecting portion 12 includes a bottom surface portion 12a and side surface portions 12b and 12c (see FIG. 3). The bottom surface portion 12a has, for example, a rectangular plate shape when viewed from the vertical direction D3, and one side of the rectangle is arranged in a posture along the arrangement direction D1. The side surfaces 12b and 12c have, for example, a rectangular plate shape when viewed from the arrangement direction D1, and one side of the rectangle is arranged in a posture along the vertical direction D3. The side surface portions 12b and 12c are respectively arranged at both end portions in the arrangement direction D1 of the bottom surface portion 12a (see FIG. 4), and face each other through a gap.

  A pair of holding | maintenance part 11 is each arrange | positioned at the both ends in the horizontal direction D2 of the bottom face part 12a, for example, is respectively fixed to side part 12b, 12c. For example, screw holes are formed in the end surfaces of the side surfaces 12b and 12c in the horizontal direction D2, and through holes 11b are formed in the holding portion 11 corresponding to the screw holes (see FIG. 2). The screw passes through the through hole 11b along the horizontal direction D2 and is screwed into the screw hole. Accordingly, the pair of holding portions 11 are fixed to the side surface portions 12b and 12c.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the connecting portion 12 may include a protrusion 12 d. The protruding portion 12d protrudes from the end portion of the bottom surface portion 12a in the horizontal direction D2 toward the holding portion 11 along the vertical direction D3. On the other hand, the holding portion 11 is formed with a recess 11c that sandwiches the protrusion 12d in the horizontal direction D2. Thereby, when attaching the holding | maintenance part 11 to the connection part 12, positioning of the holding | maintenance part 11 with respect to the connection part 12 can be made easy. This is because the position of the holding portion 11 with respect to the bottom surface portion 12a is determined by covering the holding portion 11 with the protrusion 12d.

  Next, an example of the connecting member 20 and an example of a connecting structure of the holding member 10 that is detachably connected thereto will be described.

  The connecting member 20 is formed with an inserted portion 21 into which a part of the holding member 10 is inserted along the arrangement direction D1 (see FIG. 1). Details will be described below. The connecting member 20 extends along the arrangement direction D1. The connecting member 20 has a space (inserted portion 21) that opens toward one side in the arrangement direction D1 and extends along the arrangement direction D1. As will be described later, a part of the holding member 10 is inserted into the space. In the illustration of FIG. 1, the space only has to open to at least one side of the arrangement direction D <b> 1 though it penetrates the connecting member 20 in the arrangement direction D <b> 1. In addition, the space opens even if it faces one side (for example, the upper side) in the vertical direction D3. Such an opening extends along the arrangement direction D1 from one end of the connection member 20 in the arrangement direction D1.

  1 and 3, the connecting member 20 has a lower surface portion 20a, side surface portions 20b and 20c, and an upper surface portion 20d, which form the above-described space. The lower surface portion 20a has a rectangular plate shape that is long in the arrangement direction D1 when viewed from the vertical direction D3. The side surface portions 20b and 20c are provided at both ends in the horizontal direction D2 of the lower surface portion 20a, and have a rectangular plate shape that is long in the arrangement direction D1 when viewed from the horizontal direction D2. The upper surface portion 20d is provided at one end of the side surface portions 20b and 20c on the side opposite to the lower surface portion 20a. The upper surface portion 20d has a rectangular plate shape that is long in the arrangement direction D1 when viewed from the vertical direction D3, and faces the lower surface portion 20a in the vertical direction D3. The upper surface portions 20d are separated from each other in the horizontal direction D2. By this separation, the space opens to one side in the vertical direction D3. The separation width in the horizontal direction D2 is substantially equal regardless of the vertical direction D3.

  On the other hand, the holding member 10 includes an insertion portion 13 that is inserted into the inserted portion 21 (see particularly FIG. 3). The insertion part 13 is connected to the holding part 11. Here, the insertion portion 13 is provided on the bottom surface portion 12 a and is connected to the holding portion 11 via the connection portion 12. The insertion portion 13 includes, for example, a narrow portion 13a and a wide portion 13b. The width in the horizontal direction D2 of the narrow portion 13a is narrower than the width in the horizontal direction D2 of the gap between the upper surface portions 20d. The width of the narrow portion 13a in the vertical direction D3 is wider than the width of the upper surface portion 20d in the vertical direction D3. The wide portion 13b is connected to the narrow portion 13a on the opposite side of the holding member 10 (or the bottom surface portion 12a) with respect to the narrow portion 13a, and the width in the horizontal direction D2 is larger than the width of the gap between the upper surface portions 20d. Is also wide. The outline of the wide portion 13b viewed from the arrangement direction D1 is surrounded by the outline of the inner surface of the connecting member 20 viewed from the arrangement direction D1.

  According to the electric wire holder 1, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the wide portion 13 b is moved to the connecting member 20 (more specifically, the inserted portion 21) by moving the holding member 10 along the arrangement direction D1. And can be inserted. At this time, the narrow portion 13a passes between the upper surface portions 20d. In addition, in FIG. 6, the shape of the insertion part 13 is simplified and shown as a rectangular parallelepiped. By such insertion, the narrow portion 13a is sandwiched between the upper surface portion 20d in the horizontal direction D2, and the wide portion 13b is sandwiched between the lower surface portion 20a and the upper surface portion 20d in the vertical direction D3. Therefore, the holding member 10 is fixed to the connecting member 20 in the horizontal direction D2 and the vertical direction D3. The fixing of the holding member 10 with respect to the connecting member 20 in the arrangement direction D1 may be realized by friction between the holding member 10 and the connecting member 20, for example. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a fixing member 30 may be provided at one end of the plurality of holding members 10 in the arrangement direction D1. The fixing member 30 has a connection structure (insertion portion) similar to that of the holding member 10 and is inserted into the connection member 20. Accordingly, the movement of the holding member 10 in the arrangement direction D1 is hindered, and thus the fixing force in the arrangement direction D1 of the holding member 10 can be improved.

  According to the electric wire holder 1, after removing the fixing member 30, each of the plurality of holding members 10 can be sequentially removed from the connecting member 20 by moving along the arrangement direction D <b> 1. Therefore, it is possible to replace only the holding member 10 in which a problem has occurred and insert the plurality of holding members 10 into the connecting member 20 in order along the arrangement direction D1 again. Therefore, it is possible to replace only the holding member 10 in which a problem has occurred.

  In particular, if the holding portion 11 is made of an elastic resin material (for example, a resin mainly composed of an organic polymer), the holding portion 11 is worn by friction with the electric wire 40 as compared with a case where the holding portion 11 is made of metal. Cheap. Therefore, the frequency of requesting replacement of the holding portion 11 is relatively high, and the electric wire holder 1 is particularly effective.

  If the holding portion 11 is detachably provided with the connecting portion 12, the holding portion 11 may be removed from the connecting portion 12 and replaced with the holding member 10 inserted into the connecting member 20. In this case, the connection part 12 and the insertion part 13 may be grasped as a part of the connection member 20.

  In addition, since each of the plurality of holding members 10 is detachably fixed to the connecting member 20, the number of holding members 10 attached to the connecting member 20 can be adjusted. Thereby, the electric wire holder 1 corresponding to various wire harnesses can be easily assembled. For example, when ten places for holding the electric wire are necessary in manufacturing the wire harness, the ten holding members 10 may be attached to the connecting member 20.

  Moreover, in the electric wire holder 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6, a plurality of holding members 10 having different widths in the arrangement direction D <b> 1 may be employed. Thereby, the space | interval in the arrangement direction D1 of the notch parts 11a can be adjusted suitably. For example, in the illustration of FIG. 1, since the plurality of holding members 10 have the same shape, the cut portions 11a are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the arrangement direction D1. On the other hand, if one of the plurality of holding members 10 has a width different from that of the other holding member 10, the gap between the cut portion 11a of the hold member 10 and the adjacent cut portion 11a. Is different from the interval between the cut portions 11 a of the other holding members 10. Therefore, the space | interval between the notch parts 11a can be adjusted suitably by arrange | positioning the several holding member 10 from which the width | variety in the arrangement | positioning direction D1 mutually differs suitably. Thereby, the electric wire holder 1 corresponding to various wire harnesses can be assembled.

  Further, an identification unit may be provided for each of the plurality of holding members 10. Such identification means is realized, for example, by coloring the holding portion 11. For example, the same identification means (same color) is given to the holding members 10 having the same width, and different identification means are held to the holding members 10 having different widths. Thereby, the time required for the assembly of the wire holder 1 can be shortened.

  Further, the pair of holding portions 11 and the connecting portion 12 may be integrated. In other words, it may be integrally made of the same material. Thereby, the holding member 10 can be created without generating a gap between the holding portion 11 and the connecting portion 12. Therefore, the situation where the electric wire 40 is caught in the gap can be avoided. Thereby, the work efficiency at the time of setting the electric wire 40 to the electric wire holder 1 can be improved. Moreover, it is possible to avoid a situation in which unexpected deformation occurs in the electric wire 40 when the electric wire 40 is sandwiched between the gaps.

  Further, the connection structure is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 1, and for example, the holding members 10 may be fixed along the arrangement direction D <b> 1 by screws, magnets, mechanical locking structures, or the like. In this case, a screwing mechanism, a magnet, or a locking structure can be grasped as a connecting member.

Second embodiment.
An example of the conceptual configuration of the electric wire holder 1 according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as the electric wire holder 1 of FIG. However, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the holding portion 11 is formed with a plurality of slits 11 d that intersect with the cut portions 11 a. The plurality of slits 11d are formed side by side along the extending direction of the cut portion 11a, and penetrate the holding portion 11 in the extending direction of the electric wire (here, the horizontal direction D2). In the illustration of FIG. 7, the slit 11d has a long rectangular shape in the arrangement direction D1 when viewed from the horizontal direction D2. The slits 11d are formed on both sides in the arrangement direction D1 with respect to the cut portion 11a. Hereinafter, the portion adjacent to the slit 11d in the vertical direction D3 in the holding portion 11 is also referred to as a comb tooth portion 11e.

  According to the holding member 10, as described in detail below, the electric wire 40 can be prevented from overflowing from the cut portion 11a. Here, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 shows a state in which two electric wires 40a and 40b are inserted into the holding member 10 illustrated in FIG. In the illustration of FIG. 8, the electric wire 40a having a relatively small diameter is positioned closer to the entrance side of the cut portion 11a than the electric wire 40b having a relatively large diameter. In this state, the electric wire 40b widens the interval in the arrangement direction D1 at the cut portion 11a. Since no slit is formed in the holding portion 11 in FIG. 8, the interval is the largest at the center of the electric wire 40b and gradually decreases as the distance from the center increases in the vertical direction D3. The interval increases as the diameter of the electric wire 40b increases. Therefore, for example, if the distance from the entrance of the cut portion 11a to the electric wire 40b is short and the diameter of the electric wire 40b is large, the interval near the entrance of the cut portion 11a also increases. In this case, the electric wire 40a having a relatively small diameter can overflow from the cut portion 11a.

  On the other hand, in the illustration of FIG. 9, the electric wire 40b is arrange | positioned at the slit 11d in the notch part 11a. At this time, the electric wire 40b is in contact with the four comb tooth portions 11e. In the illustration of FIG. 9, the diameter of the electric wire 40b is larger than the width of the slit 11d in the vertical direction D3. Therefore, the comb tooth portion 11e that contacts the electric wire 40b above the center of the electric wire 40b is bent upward, and the comb tooth portion 11e that contacts the electric wire 40b below the center of the electric wire 40b is bent downward. However, the four comb teeth 11e and the comb teeth 11e adjacent to each other in the vertical direction D3 are not deformed or the deformation is small. This is because the adjacent comb tooth portion 11e is deformed only when the bending amount of the comb tooth portion 11e (here, the deformation amount in the vertical direction D3) is larger than the width of the slit 11d in the vertical direction D3. Therefore, it is hard to change in the space | interval in the arrangement direction D1 of the notch part 11a in the adjacent comb-tooth part 11e, and it can suppress that the electric wire 40a overflows from the notch part 11a.

  Moreover, according to the holding member 10 provided with the slit 11d, the force in the vertical direction D3 that the holding portion 11 acts on the electric wire 40 is increased. This is because the main direction of the elastic force of the comb tooth portion 11e is the vertical direction D3, whereas the main direction of the elastic force of the holding portion 11 where the slit 11d is not provided is the arrangement direction D1.

Third embodiment.
An example of the conceptual configuration of the electric wire holder 1 according to the third embodiment is substantially the same as the electric wire holder 1 of FIG. However, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the holding portion 11 includes a pair of holding plate portions 111 and 112 facing each other in the horizontal direction D2. The pair of holding plate portions 111 and 112 have, for example, the same shape as each other and the same shape as the holding portion 11 described in the first embodiment. That is, the cut portion 11a is formed in the pair of holding plate portions 111 and 112, and extends from the end surfaces (one end surface in the vertical direction D3) of the pair of holding plate portions 111 and 112. Further, the pair of holding plate portions 111 and 112 are continuous with each other in the portion including at least the cut portion 11a in the end surface. Accordingly, in the cross section including the cut portion 11a (the cross section in FIG. 10), the holding plate portions 111 and 112 have, for example, a substantially U-shaped shape.

  If a force is applied to the holding portion 11 from one side in the vertical direction D3, the force is applied to the holding plate portions 111 and 112 on the opposite sides in the horizontal direction D2, as illustrated in FIG. Therefore, when the electric wire 40 is inserted into the cut portion 11a, as shown in FIG. 12, the holding plate portions 111 and 112 are bent and bent in the horizontal direction D2 as viewed from the vertical direction D3. The electric wire 40 is pinched in the state. Such a phenomenon is more likely to occur as the width of the holding plate portions 111 and 112 in the horizontal direction D2 is narrower.

  Here, for comparison, consider the case where the electric wire 40 is inserted into the cut portion 11a of the holding portion 11 according to FIG. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 13, when viewed from the vertical direction D <b> 3, the bending direction in the horizontal direction D <b> 2 of the portions of the holding portion 11 that are located on both sides of the arrangement direction D <b> 1 can be opposite to each other. In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the electric wire 40 is bent and held.

  On the other hand, in the illustration of FIG. 12, since the force acts more evenly on the electric wire 40, the inclination of the posture of the electric wire 40 can be reduced. Moreover, since the electric wire 40 is fixed at four places, the holding force can be improved. For example, if the electric wire 40 is pulled to one side in the horizontal direction D2, for example, the lower side of the drawing, the holding plate portion 112 is more strongly repelled. This is because the holding plate portion 112 is bent to the other side (the upper side in the drawing) in the horizontal direction D2, and the bending direction and the moving direction of the electric wire 40 are opposite to each other. Further, if the electric wire 40 is pulled to the other side in the horizontal direction D2, for example, the upper side of the drawing, the holding plate portion 111 rebounds more firmly. Therefore, the electric wire 40 can be more firmly held in the horizontal direction D2.

  The holding portion 11 may be created as follows, for example. FIG. 14 shows one elastic resin material. In the illustration of FIG. 14, the elastic resin material has a rectangular plate shape that is long in the longitudinal direction. The elastic resin material has a cut portion 11a that extends through the elastic resin material in the longitudinal direction through the elastic resin material. And the holding | maintenance part 11 is created by folding an elastic resin material by making the virtual line B perpendicular | vertical with respect to the notch part 11a into a crease | fold. That is, portions of the elastic resin material on both sides in the longitudinal direction with respect to the virtual line B function as the holding plate portions 111 and 112, respectively.

  Note that the cut portion 11a does not necessarily have to be linear, and it is only necessary to be provided symmetrically with respect to the virtual line B. Thus, when the elastic resin material is folded using the imaginary line B as a crease, the cut portions 11a on both sides of the imaginary line B coincide with each other in the folded state. As a result, a pair of holding plate portions 111 and 112 into which the electric wire 40 can be inserted into the cut portion 11a can be created.

  According to this creation method, the holding portion 11 can be easily created without going through a complicated manufacturing process.

  Note that a plurality of slits may be formed in the holding member 10 as in the second embodiment.
