（手順３・・加圧作業）案内部１０へセットされたシート部材９０に加圧する。詳しくは、ワイヤハーネス８０がセットされたシート部材９０を加圧ローラ４１，４２付近まで搬送する。次に、シリンダ４５を作動させ、そのアクチュエータ部材４５ａにより、加圧前に退避位置にあった駆動モータ４４及び加圧ローラ４２を加圧位置まで移動させて、ワイヤハーネス８０がセットされたシート部材９０を、加圧ローラ４１及び加圧ローラ４２のニップ部に挟み込む。次に、駆動モータ４３及び４４の駆動により、加圧ローラ４１及び４２を回転させ、そのニップ部に挟まれたシート部材９０を加圧しながらコネクタ保持部５０側へ送り出す。その結果、シート部材９０が二つ折りに折り曲げられると共に、その端部９０ａ及び９０ｂ付近の内側接着面同士が加圧により貼り合わせられ、接着される（図３（Ａ）参照）。なお、接着時の第１の案内部材１２の内側案内面１２ａと第２の案内部材１３の内側案内面１３ａとの間隔は、シート部材９０で包まれた電線８２の外径が変形しない程度の間隔に設定されている。   (Procedure 3 .. Pressurization Work) The sheet member 90 set in the guide unit 10 is pressurized. Specifically, the sheet member 90 on which the wire harness 80 is set is conveyed to the vicinity of the pressure rollers 41 and 42. Next, the cylinder 45 is actuated, and the actuator member 45a moves the drive motor 44 and the pressure roller 42, which were in the retracted position before pressurization, to the pressurization position, and the sheet member on which the wire harness 80 is set. 90 is sandwiched between the nip portions of the pressure roller 41 and the pressure roller 42. Next, by driving the drive motors 43 and 44, the pressure rollers 41 and 42 are rotated, and the sheet member 90 sandwiched between the nip portions is pressed and sent to the connector holding portion 50 side. As a result, the sheet member 90 is folded in half, and the inner adhesive surfaces in the vicinity of the end portions 90a and 90b are bonded together by pressure (see FIG. 3A). The distance between the inner guide surface 12a of the first guide member 12 and the inner guide surface 13a of the second guide member 13 at the time of bonding is such that the outer diameter of the electric wire 82 wrapped with the sheet member 90 is not deformed. The interval is set.

（手順４・・外装部材付きワイヤハーネスの取り出し作業）完成した外装部材付きワイヤハーネス８０を取り出す。詳しくは、シート部材９０が加圧接着されたワイヤハーネス８０は、コネクタ８１を保持したコネクタ部５０を図示しない移動手段で取り出し方向（図１の矢印左側方向）に移動させる。それにより、外装部材付きワイヤハーネス８０の取り出し作業が完了する。   (Procedure 4 .. Removal operation of wire harness with exterior member) The completed wire harness with exterior member 80 is removed. Specifically, the wire harness 80 to which the sheet member 90 is pressure-bonded moves the connector portion 50 holding the connector 81 in the take-out direction (the arrow left direction in FIG. 1) by a moving means (not shown). Thereby, the taking-out operation of the wire harness 80 with the exterior member is completed.

以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、シート部材９０を、案内部１０で案内し、加圧部４０で加圧しながら通過させることにより、簡単かつ確実にワイヤハーネス８０の電線８２部分にシート部材９０が組み付けられ、図４に示すように、電線８２部分がシート部材９０によって保護された外装部材付きワイヤハーネスが製造される。保護すべき電線部分が長くなると、それに応じて取り付けるシート部材も長くなり、従来の手作業で取り付ける場合、大きな力が必要となると共に、接着面の貼り合わせ部分にムラができたりして、製品が成立しなくなることがある。しかしながら、本実施形態によれば、保護すべき電線部分が長くなりそれに対応してシート部材の長さがいくら長くなっても、加圧部４０の加圧ローラ４１及び４２の加圧により一括貼り合わせを行うことができ、外装部材の貼り合わせ品質が安定化する。さらに、電線８２部分の一方の端部をコネクタ保持部５０で保持するので、シート部材組付時に作業者がワイヤハーネス８０を保持しておく必要がないことから、シート部材９０の組付作業をさらに効率よく行うことができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the sheet member 90 is guided by the guide unit 10 and passed while being pressed by the pressurizing unit 40, so that the sheet member 90 can be easily and reliably attached to the electric wire 82 portion of the wire harness 80. The sheet member 90 is assembled, and as shown in FIG. 4, a wire harness with an exterior member in which the electric wire 82 portion is protected by the sheet member 90 is manufactured. If the wire part to be protected becomes longer, the sheet member to be attached becomes longer accordingly, and when it is attached by conventional manual work, a large force is required, and unevenness may occur in the bonded part of the adhesive surface. May not hold. However, according to this embodiment, no matter how long the wire portion to be protected becomes longer and the length of the sheet member correspondingly increases, the pressure roller 41 and the pressure roller 41 of the pressure unit 40 press the batch. Can be combined, and the bonding quality of the exterior member is stabilized. Further, since one end portion of the electric wire 82 portion is held by the connector holding portion 50, it is not necessary for the operator to hold the wire harness 80 when the sheet member is assembled. Furthermore, it can carry out efficiently.

以上の通り、本発明の一実施形態について説明したが、本発明はこれに限らず、種々の変形、応用が可能である。   As described above, one embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications and applications are possible.

However, the bending means and the conveying means may be provided separately.

また、上述の実施形態では、電線９２の一端部側を保持する電線保持手段として、電線９２の一端部側に接続されたコネクタ８１を保持するコネクタ保持部５０を備えているが、両端にコネクタが接続されていない電線部分に外装部材を取り付ける際は、電線９２の一端部側を保持する電線保持部を設けてもよい。   Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the connector holding part 50 holding the connector 81 connected to the one end part side of the electric wire 92 is provided as an electric wire holding means holding the one end part side of the electric wire 92, a connector is provided in both ends. When the exterior member is attached to the electric wire portion to which is not connected, an electric wire holding portion that holds one end of the electric wire 92 may be provided.

また、外装部材としてのシート部材は、上述の実施形態では、保護層と接着層とを有するものが用いられているが、加圧により接着するもの（例えば、自己融着性を有するシート部材や加圧接着剤付きシート部材等）や、加熱により接着するもの（例えば、ホットメルト付きシート部材等）を用いてもよい。なお、加熱接着の場合は、案内部に加熱手段を設ける。   In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the sheet member as the exterior member has a protective layer and an adhesive layer. However, the sheet member that adheres by pressurization (for example, a sheet member having self-bonding property or the like) A sheet member with a pressure adhesive or the like) or a member that is bonded by heating (for example, a sheet member with a hot melt) may be used. In the case of heat bonding, a heating means is provided in the guide portion.

また、シート部材供給部２０は、リール２１に巻かれたシート部材９０と種類や幅の異なるシート部材が巻かれたリール２１′をリール２１と切り替えて供給するための図示しないシート部材切替手段を含むように構成しても良い。この場合は、種類の異なるシート部材や幅の異なるシート部材を用いて、ワイヤハーネスの電線の本数の違いによってシート部材の幅を変更する必要がある場合等に対応することができる。   Further, the sheet member supply unit 20 includes sheet member switching means (not shown) for switching and supplying a reel 21 ′ wound with a sheet member 90 having a different type and width from the sheet member 90 wound around the reel 21. You may comprise so that it may be included. In this case, it is possible to cope with a case where it is necessary to change the width of the sheet member due to the difference in the number of wires of the wire harness using different types of sheet members or different sheet members.
