【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、扁平状のワイヤハーネス、フレキシブルフラットケーブル(FFC)、フレキシブルプリント回路体(FPC)等のフラットケーブルを車体等の固定部材に固定するためのフラットケーブル用取付部材に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
自動車には、各種制御等のために多数の電子機器や機械部品が搭載されている。これら電子機器等は、扁平状のワイヤハーネス、フレキシブルフラットケーブル(FFC)、フレキシブルプリント回路体(FPC)等の可撓性を有するフラットケーブルによって電気的に接続される。このように車両には多数の例えばFFCが配索されており、これらFFCは、周囲の部品と干渉したり、可動部品に噛み込まれたりしないように、例えばフラットケーブル用取付部材を用いて所定箇所ごとに車体に固定される。
【0003】
フラットケーブル用取付部材としては種々のものが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1、2参照。)。
例えば、特許文献1に開示されている第1のフラットケーブル用取付部材としてのフラットケーブル用クランプは、図4に示すように、係止部材101を係止孔102から抜き出し、係止部材101の下側から張出部材103の下側に向けてフラットケーブル104を挿入し、フラットケーブル104の一方の側端を挟持部105内に差し込む。次いで、フラットケーブル104の他方の側端を挟持部106上に位置決めした後、係止部材101を係止孔102内に挿通する。これにより、バネ片107によってフラットケーブル104が幅用弾性部及びリブ109、110に押圧されるので、クランプ100をフラットケーブル104に固定することができる。このクランプ100の弾性爪部材111を車体の所定の位置に形成されている係止孔に圧入することで、フラットケーブル104を所定位置に固定させることができる。
【0004】
また、特許文献2に開示されている第2のフラットケーブル用取付部材としてのクランプは、図5に示すように、フラットケーブル201の挿通係止部202に収容部203の係止突起204を挿通させながら、フラットケーブル201を収容部203に収容する。収容後、カバー本体205の他端部を上方に回動させて、ロック突起(図示せず)とロックアーム206とを係合してカバー本体205により収容部203の開口を完全に閉鎖させる。これにより、板部207、208によってフラットケーブル201が収容部203の底壁209に押圧されるので、クランプ200をフラットケーブル201に固定することができる。このクランプ200のクリップ210を車体の所定の位置に形成されている係止孔に圧入することで、フラットケーブル201を所定位置に固定させることができる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、FFCを配索する車体内は狭く作業し難いと共に、FFCを直線状に配索することはほとんどなくいろいろな方向に曲って配索されることがあるため、FFCの配索作業性は悪い。しかも、FFCを車体に配索する場合、1つのFFCにフラットケーブル用取付部材を多数取り付けると共に、車体に配索するFFCも1つではなく多数存在する。このため、車体にFFCを1つずつ配索するのではなく、車体外の例えば周囲に邪魔物がない配索台上で、車体に配索する形状とほぼ同じ形状に複数のFFCを配索する。この配索した各FFCの所定の個所(車体に固定する箇所)毎に予めフラットケーブル用取付部材等を取り付ける。そして、このフラットケーブル用取付部材等を取り付けたFFCをそのまま車体の配索位置に位置決めする。位置決め後、各フラットケーブル用取付部材等を車体に固定することにより、FFCへのフラットケーブル用取付部材等の取付を狭い車体内で行うのではなく、車体外の広い例えば配索台上で行うので、FFCの配索作業性が向上する。
【0007】
しかし、FFCは長くしかもいろいろな方向に曲っていることがあるため、配索台上に配索したFFCの所定の箇所にフラットケーブル用取付部材を取り付けても、実際に車体にFFCを位置決めしたときに、フラットケーブル用取付部材の位置が車体の例えば係止孔の位置とずれる(寸法誤差が生じる)ことがある。その場合、フラットケーブル用取付部材である前述のフラットケーブル用クランプ又はクランプをFFCから一旦取り外し、再度所定の位置に取り付けなければならない。つまり、フラットケーブル用クランプ又はクランプは、FFCに固定されているため、係止部材を係止孔内から抜き出して係合を解除したり、ロック突起とロックアームとの係合を解除したりしなければならないが、通常これらの係合は解除することを前提としていないので、係合の解除を行い難い。しかも、作業する場所が車体内の狭い箇所であるとよけい作業しずらく、結果的には、FFCの車体への配索(組付け)作業性が低下することもあった。
【0008】
そこで、本発明は、このような実情に鑑みなされたものであり、その目的は、フラットケーブの車体への組付け作業性を向上させることができるフラットケーブル用取付部材を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、本発明のフラットケーブル用取付部材は、フラットケーブルに取り付けられると共に、車体等の固定部材に固定されるフラットケーブル用取付部材であって、前記フラットケーブルの一部を囲繞すると共にそのフラットケーブルの長手方向に対する移動を許容すべくフラットケーブルに取り付けられる取付部材本体と、前記固定部材に固定されたとき、該固定部材によって前記フラットケーブルを前記取付部材本体に固定する固定手段とを備え
前記取付部材本体が、平板状の基部と、その基部の両端部に設けられて基部とで断面コ字状に形成された一対の壁部と、それら壁部の先端部に、前記基部とほぼ平行でかつ対向して設けられて壁部とで断面ほぼL字状に形成されると共に、先端部の間隔がフラットケーブルの幅方向の長さより短く、かつ、該間隔からフラットケーブルを両壁部間に挿入しうる寸法に形成された当接部とからなり、前記基部の外表面に、前記固定部材に係止される係止部材を設け、前記固定手段が、前記基部に設けられた貫通孔と、その貫通孔に挿入されて、前記係止部材を前記固定部材に係止させたとき、一端部が前記固定部材に接触して他端部が前記取付部材本体内のフラットケーブルを前記当接部に押圧する押圧部材とからなるものである。
このように、取付部材本体をフラットケーブルに取り付けることにより、フラットケーブル用取付部材はフラットケーブルの長手方向に対する移動が許容されているので、フラットケーブルに仮係止状態に取り付けられることになる。このため、フラットケーブル用取付部材を予め取り付けたFFC等のフラットケーブルを車体等の固定部材に配索するときに、フラットケーブル用取付部材と固定部材との相対位置がずれても(寸法誤差が生じても)、フラットケーブル用取付部材をフラットケーブルの長手方向に移動させることで、容易に位置調節を行える。そして、フラットケーブル用取付部材を固定部材に固定することで、固定手段によって取付部材本体がフラットケーブルに固定されるので、フラットケーブル用取付部材をフラットケーブルに取り付けるための作業(動作)が必要ない。
したがって、FFC等のフラットケーブルの車体等の固定部材への組付け作業性が向上するフラットケーブル用取付部材が得られることになる
また、簡単な構造でフラットケーブル用取付部材を構成することができる。
前記貫通孔が、前記壁部に沿って延在する長孔に形成され、前記押圧部材が平板状に形成されていることが好ましい。
これにより、押圧部材が接触する固定部材の表面が多少曲ったり窪みができてたりしても、固定手段によるフラットケーブルのフラットケーブル用取付部材への固定を確実に行えることになる。
前記貫通孔が、前記基部の両当接部と対向する箇所にそれぞれ設けられ、これら貫通孔にそれぞれ前記押圧部材が挿入されていることが好ましい。
これにより、フラットケーブルを両当接部に押圧することができ、フラットケーブル用取付部材をフラットケーブルに確実に固定することができる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて詳述する。
図1乃至図3は本発明のフラットケーブル用取付部材の一例が示されている図である。
【0011】
本発明のフラットケーブル用取付部材は、図1乃至図3に示すように、フラットケーブル2に取り付けられると共に、固定部材例えば車体3に固定されるものである。このフラットケーブル用取付部材1は、フラットケーブル2の一部(一部の外周全部)を囲繞すると共にそのフラットケーブル2の長手方向に対する移動を許容すべくフラットケーブル2に取り付けられる取付部材本体5と、車体3に固定されたとき、該車体3によってフラットケーブル2を取付部材本体5に固定する固定手段6とを備えたことに特徴がある。
【0012】
フラットケーブル2としては、可撓性を有する扁平状の電線であればどのようなものでもよく、例えば、扁平状のワイヤハーネス、フレキシブルフラットケーブル(FFC)、フレキシブルプリント回路体(FPC)等が挙げられる。例えば、FFCを例に挙げて説明すると、複数の銅製等の導体を所定の間隔を隔てて並列し、これら導体を並列の状態のまま2枚の塩化ビニル等の絶縁シートで挟み込む。2枚の絶縁シートが互いに接する部分を溶着(加熱接着)して一体的に融合してなるものである。このFFC2は、屈曲性や摺動性に優れるので、車体3の配線に利用されている。
【0013】
取付部材本体5は、FFC2にその長手方向に対する移動ができるように取り付けられるならばどのように形成してもよい。取付部材本体5としては、例えば、矩形筒体状に形成してもよいが、好ましくは、その矩形筒体の一方の長辺部の中央部をスリット状に開口させた形状に形成することがよい。
【0014】
すなわち、取付部材本体5は、平板状の基部10と、その基部10の両端部に設けられて基部10とで断面コ字状に形成される一対の壁部11、11と、その壁部11の先端部に設けられて壁部11とで断面L字状に形成される当接部12とからなる。基部10、壁部11及び当接部12は、一体的に設けても個別に設けてよく、それらの材質は、一般的にフラットケーブル用取付部材やプロテクタ等に用いられているものと同じものが用いられる。
【0015】
基部10は、矩形平板状に形成されている。
基部10の長さ(FFC2に取り付けたときのFFC2の長手方向に沿った長さ(幅方向に対して直交する方向の長さ))は、特に限定されるものではなく、FFC2とフラットケーブル用取付部材1とを十分に固定し得る範囲から任意に選択される。
【0016】
基部10の幅方向の長さ(壁部11、11間の長さ)は、FFC2の幅方向の長さより少し短い寸法でもよいが、好ましくはFFC2の幅方向の長さ以上の寸法に形成することがよい。基部10の幅方向の長さの上限は、取付部材本体5内に収容された(位置された)FFC2がその幅方向に大きく移動しない値にすることが好ましい。
【0017】
基部10の厚さは、後述するクリップ部20を車体3の係止孔4に挿入して係止するときに変形することがない寸法であって、かつ、後述する押圧部材31を貫通孔30の貫通長さによってガイドし得る寸法であることが好ましい。
【0018】
壁部11は、基部10の両端部に例えば一体的に設けられている。壁部11の高さは、FFC2の厚さより長い寸法に形成するようにする。
【0019】
当接部12は、基部10とほぼ平行でかつ対向して壁部11の先端部に例えば一体的に設けられている。
当接部12の先端部間のスリット13が取付部材本体5をFFC2に取り付けるための開口部として形成されている。この開口部13(当接部12の長さ)は、FFC2の幅方向の長さより短く、かつ、取付部材本体5を主体とした場合、開口部13からFFC2を取付部材本体5内(壁部11、11間)に挿入し得ると共に、その開口部13からFFC2が容易に抜け出ないような寸法に形成することが好ましい。
【0020】
この当接部12及び壁部11は、それぞれ板状に形成されるが、その厚さは、当接部12にFFC2が当接されるので、材質により一概には決められないが、変形しない範囲から設定することが好ましい。
【0021】
基部10の外表面の中央部には、係止部材である例えば合成樹脂製のクリップ部20が立設されている。クリップ部20は、車体3の係止孔4に挿入されて係止され、フラットケーブル用取付部材1を車体3に固定し得るものであればどのように構成してもよい。
【0022】
クリップ部20は、例えば、基部10の表面から突設された支持部21と、その支持部21の先端部から基部10方向に延在すると共に先端部に係止段部22を有する一対の可撓性係止部23とからなる。
【0023】
支持部21の先端部及び可撓性係止部23の根元部は、車体3の係止孔4に挿入し得る大きさ及び形状に形成され、例えば、ほぼ半球面状、ほぼ半楕円面状等の曲面状等に形成されている。
【0024】
可撓性係止部23は、外力をかけない自然状態において外表面が先端部に行くに連れて支持部21から離間する方向に傾斜して形成されている。
可撓性係止部23は、根元のみが支持部21の先端部に一体的に設けられ、それ以外の支持部21との間には空間が形成されている。これにより、可撓性係止部23を空間方向に押圧すると(外力を作用させると)、可撓性係止部23がその空間へ(内側へ)と付勢力に反して可撓して車体3の係止孔4を貫通し得るようになっている。
【0025】
係止段部22は、付勢力に反して可撓性係止部23が可撓して車体3の係止孔4を貫通して、付勢力により元の形状に戻った、又は元の形状に戻ろうとして移動したときに、係止孔4を形成する車体3の周縁に係止するものである。このとき、基部10の外表面と車体3の表面とが面接触するようにクリップ部20の支持部21の長さを設定することが好ましい。
【0026】
固定手段6は、クリップ部20を車体3に係止させてフラットケーブル用取付部材1を車体3に固定したときに、車体3によって取付部材本体5内のFFC2を固定するものであり、どのように構成してもよい。
固定手段6は、具体的には例えば、基部10に設けられる貫通孔30と、その貫通孔30に挿入されて、クリップ部20を車体3に係止させたとき、一端部が車体3に接触して他端部が取付部材本体5内のFFC2を当接部12に押圧する押圧部材31とからなる。
【0027】
貫通孔30は、基部10の2つの当接部12、12と対向する箇所にそれぞれ設けられている。貫通孔30は、その基部10の表面に対してほぼ直交する方向(壁部11の表面)に沿って延在し、押圧部材31をその方向に沿って移動させるガイドとして形成されている。
貫通孔30は、押圧部材31の形状に応じて形成されるが、例えば、基部10の幅方向と直交する方向(壁部11の表面)に沿って延在する長孔に形成されている。
【0028】
押圧部材31は、例えば、図示するように、貫通孔30に挿嵌される摺動部32と、その摺動部32の他端部に設けられ、FFC2に当接する押圧部33とからなる。この押圧部材31は、摺動部32の一端部(押圧部33とは反対側の端部)を取付部材本体5内から基部10の外表面に突出するように貫通させた状態で取付部材本体5に装着される。
【0029】
押圧部33は、例えば、貫通孔30の形状より大きな相似形状に形成されており、押圧部材31のストッパとしての機能を有するが、取付部材本体5内のFFC2を当接部12に押圧するものである。押圧部33のFFC2に当接する面は、FFC2を当接部12に押圧して、取付部材本体5をFFC2に固定することができるならばどのように形成してもよく、図示するように平面状に形成してもよいし、他の形状例えば凹凸状に形成してもよい。また、押圧部33のFFC2に当接する面に複数の突部を設けるようにしてもよい。また、押圧部33のFFC2に当接する面に、摩擦係数の小さな摩擦防止部材を設けるようにしてもよい。
【0030】
摺動部32は、断面が貫通孔30の形状よりほぼ同じ形状の板状に形成されており、摺動部32(押圧部材31)が基部10の表面に対してほぼ直交する方向に沿って移動(摺動)可能になっている。
摺動部32の長さは、クリップ部20を車体3に係止させたとき、押圧部33によってFFC2が当接部12に押圧される寸法に形成するようにする。つまり、摺動部32の長さは、図2に示すように、取付部材本体5内にFFC2を位置させて、一端部が基部10の表面から突出し、クリップ部20を車体3に係止させる。そのとき、その一端部が車体3に接触して、クリップ部20の車体3の係止孔4への挿入が行われる(取付部材本体5が車体3に近づく)。これにより、押圧部材31がその一端部から押圧部33方向に沿って移動して、クリップ部20が図3に示すように車体3の係止孔4に完全に挿入されて係止されると、押圧部33によってFFC2が当接部12に押圧される寸法に形成するようにする。
【0031】
また、貫通孔30及び押圧部材31は、前述の形状に限定されず、他の形状でもよく、例えば、貫通孔を円形状に形成すると共に、押圧部材も断面円形の棒状に形成してもよい。この場合、貫通孔は、基部の幅方向と直交する方向に沿って所定の間隔を隔てて複数基部に形成し、これら貫通孔毎に押圧部材をそれぞれ配置するようにすることが好ましい。
【0032】
さて、このフラットケーブル用取付部材1を用いてFFC2を車体3に固定するには、まず、FFC2の一方の側端部とフラットケーブル用取付部材1の開口部13とを対向させる。このフラットケーブル用取付部材1をFFC2の一方の側端部が開口部13から一方の壁部11の内壁に接触するように移動させる。移動後(接触後)、フラットケーブル用取付部材1を、一方の壁部11を支点として他方の壁部11に設けられている当接部12がFFC2と接触するように動かす。つまり、FFC2の他方の壁部が開口部13から他方の壁部11内に入るようにフラットケーブル用取付部材1を動かす。または、FFC2の他方の壁部を中央部側に撓ませて、これを開口部13から取付部材本体5内に押し込む。
【0033】
これにより、図1及び図2に示すように、FFC2の一方の表面が基部10と対向する(平行になる)と共に、FFC2の他方の表面の両側端部がそれぞれ当接部12、12と対向するので、取付部材本体5がFFC2から簡単に取れることなくFFC2の一部に取り付けられる。すなわち、フラットケーブル用取付部材1をFFC2の所定の位置に簡単に取り付けることができる。
【0034】
この状態では、FFC2は押圧部材31によって当接部12に押圧されていない。つまり、フラットケーブル用取付部材1はFFC2の長手方向に対する移動が許容されているので、FFC2に仮係止状態に取り付けられていることになる。このため、フラットケーブル用取付部材1をこのように予めFFC2に取り付けてから、このFFC2を車体3に位置決めしたときに、フラットケーブル用取付部材1のクリップ部20と車体3の係止孔4との相対位置がずれていても(寸法誤差が生じていても)、フラットケーブル用取付部材1をFFC2から取り外すことなく、フラットケーブル用取付部材1をFFC2の長手方向に沿って簡単に移動させることができ、フラットケーブル用取付部材1の取付位置を容易に調節することができる。
【0035】
そして、フラットケーブル用取付部材1のクリップ部20を、図2に示すように、車体3の係止孔4に突き合わせ、この状態のままフラットケーブル用取付部材1を車体3に接触させる。つまり、クリップ部20を係止孔4に挿入するようにフラットケーブル用取付部材1を車体3方向に移動させる。
【0036】
すると、クリップ部20の支持部21の先端部及び可撓性係止部23の根元部が係止孔4内に入る。さらに、フラットケーブル用取付部材1が車体3に近づくと、可撓性係止部23が係止孔4を形成する車体3に接触して、支持部21方向に付勢力に反して可撓して、係止孔4内に進入する。係止段部22を除いた可撓性係止部23が係止孔4を貫通すると、図3に示すように、可撓性係止部23は付勢力により元の形状に戻ろうとして移動し、係止段部22が係止孔4を形成する車体3の周縁に係止する。このとき、基部10の外表面が車体3の表面に接触してフラットケーブル用取付部材1が車体3に固定される。
【0037】
また、フラットケーブル用取付部材1が車体3に近づくと、基部10の表面から突出している2つの押圧部材31(摺動部32)の先端部(一端部)がそれぞれ車体3に接触する。フラットケーブル用取付部材1の車体3方向への移動に伴って2つの押圧部材31が、それぞれ車体3によって押圧されて先端部から押圧部33方向に沿って移動する。このとき、各押圧部材31の押圧部33が取付部材本体5内のFFC2の両壁部の近くにそれぞれ当接し、押圧部材31の移動と共にFFC2が当接部12方向に移動する。そして、クリップ部20が車体3の係止孔4に係止されると共に、基部10の外表面が車体3の表面に接触してフラットケーブル用取付部材1が車体3に固定されると、図3に示すように、2つの押圧部33がそれぞれFFC2の壁部近傍を当接部12に押圧する。これにより、FFC2は、当接部12と押圧部材31によって挟持されて、フラットケーブル用取付部材1がFFC2に固定される。
【0038】
したがって、本発明のフラットケーブル用取付部材1は、FFC2に取り付けた後に、その位置を容易に調節することができるので、FFC2の車体3への組付け作業性を向上させることができる。
【0039】
また、クリップ部20を車体3の係止孔4に係止して、フラットケーブル用取付部材1を車体3に固定することにより、押圧部材31によってFFC2がフラットケーブル用取付部材1に固定されるので、FFC2をフラットケーブル用取付部材1に取り付けるための作業(動作)が必要ない。よって、FFC2の車体3への組付け作業性を一層向上させることができる。
【0040】
また、取付部材本体5が、平板状の基部10と、その基部の両端部に設けられた一対の壁部11,11と、それら壁部11,11の先端部に設けられた当接部12,12とからなり、基部の外表面に、クリップ部20を設け、かつ、固定手段6が、貫通孔30と押圧部材31とからなることにより、簡単な構造でフラットケーブル用取付部材1を構成することができる。
【0041】
また、貫通孔30が壁部11に沿って延在する長孔に形成されると共に、押圧部材31が平板状に形成されていることにより、押圧部材31が接触する車体3の表面が多少曲ったり窪みができてたりしても、押圧部材31が車体3に確実に接触するので、フラットケーブル用取付部材1をFFC2に確実に固定することができる。また、押圧部材31が平板状に形成されているため、振動や衝撃により押圧部材31が壊れることがないと共に長期間使用しても壊れ難い。
【0042】
また、貫通孔30が基部10の両当接部12,12と対向する箇所にそれぞれ設けられ、これら貫通孔30,30にそれぞれ押圧部材31が挿入されているので、FFC2を2つの押圧部材31によって挟持することができ、フラットケーブル用取付部材1を確実にFFC2に固定することができる。
また、貫通孔30が押圧部材31のガイドして設けられていると、押圧部材31のFFC2の当接部12への押圧を確実に行えることになり、フラットケーブル用取付部材1を一層確実にFFC2に固定することができる。
【0043】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a flat cable mounting member for fixing a flat cable such as a flat wire harness, a flexible flat cable (FFC), and a flexible printed circuit body (FPC) to a fixing member such as a vehicle body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A large number of electronic devices and machine parts are mounted on the automobile for various controls. These electronic devices and the like are electrically connected by a flat cable having flexibility such as a flat wire harness, a flexible flat cable (FFC), and a flexible printed circuit body (FPC). In this way, a large number of FFCs, for example, are arranged in the vehicle, and these FFCs are predetermined using, for example, a flat cable mounting member so as not to interfere with surrounding parts or to be bitten by movable parts. Each part is fixed to the car body.
[0003]
Various flat cable mounting members have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a flat cable clamp as a first flat cable mounting member disclosed in Patent Document 1 is obtained by extracting the locking member 101 from the locking hole 102. The flat cable 104 is inserted from the lower side toward the lower side of the overhang member 103, and one side end of the flat cable 104 is inserted into the holding portion 105. Next, after positioning the other side end of the flat cable 104 on the clamping portion 106, the locking member 101 is inserted into the locking hole 102. Thereby, the flat cable 104 is pressed against the elastic portions for width and the ribs 109 and 110 by the spring piece 107, so that the clamp 100 can be fixed to the flat cable 104. The flat cable 104 can be fixed at a predetermined position by press-fitting the elastic claw member 111 of the clamp 100 into a locking hole formed at a predetermined position of the vehicle body.
[0004]
Further, the clamp as the second flat cable mounting member disclosed in Patent Document 2 is inserted through the locking protrusion 204 of the housing portion 203 into the insertion locking portion 202 of the flat cable 201 as shown in FIG. Then, the flat cable 201 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 203. After the housing, the other end of the cover main body 205 is rotated upward to engage a lock protrusion (not shown) and the lock arm 206 to completely close the opening of the housing 203 by the cover main body 205. Accordingly, the flat cable 201 is pressed against the bottom wall 209 of the housing portion 203 by the plate portions 207 and 208, so that the clamp 200 can be fixed to the flat cable 201. The flat cable 201 can be fixed at a predetermined position by press-fitting the clip 210 of the clamp 200 into a locking hole formed at a predetermined position of the vehicle body.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, the inside of the vehicle body in which the FFC is routed is difficult to work narrowly, and since the FFC is rarely routed in a straight line and may be routed in various directions, the routing workability of the FFC is bad. In addition, when the FFC is routed to the vehicle body, many flat cable attachment members are attached to one FFC, and there are many FFCs wired to the vehicle body instead of one. For this reason, instead of routing FFCs one by one on the vehicle body, a plurality of FFCs are routed in a shape substantially the same as that to be installed on the vehicle body on a wiring stand outside the vehicle body, for example, without any obstacles around it. To do. A flat cable attachment member or the like is attached in advance to each predetermined portion (location to be fixed to the vehicle body) of each routed FFC. Then, the FFC to which the flat cable mounting member and the like are mounted is positioned as it is in the car body routing position. After positioning, each flat cable mounting member or the like is fixed to the vehicle body, so that the flat cable mounting member or the like is not mounted in the narrow vehicle body, but on a wide cable platform outside the vehicle body, for example. Therefore, the workability of FFC routing is improved.
[0007]
However, since the FFC is long and may be bent in various directions, the FFC is actually positioned on the vehicle body even if a flat cable attachment member is attached to a predetermined portion of the FFC arranged on the arrangement table. Sometimes, the position of the flat cable mounting member is displaced from the position of, for example, the locking hole of the vehicle body (a dimensional error occurs). In that case, the flat cable clamp or clamp described above, which is a flat cable mounting member, must be once removed from the FFC and mounted again at a predetermined position. In other words, since the flat cable clamp or clamp is fixed to the FFC, the engagement member can be removed from the engagement hole to release the engagement, or the engagement between the lock protrusion and the lock arm can be released. However, since it is not premised that these engagements are usually released, it is difficult to release the engagements. Moreover, it is difficult to work if the place where the work is performed is a narrow place in the vehicle body, and as a result, the workability of assembling (assembling) the FFC to the vehicle body may be reduced.
[0008]
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a flat cable mounting member capable of improving the workability of assembling the flat cable to the vehicle body.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the flat cable mounting member of the present invention is a flat cable mounting member that is attached to a flat cable and is also fixed to a fixing member such as a vehicle body. An attachment member main body that is attached to the flat cable so as to allow movement in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable, and a fixing that fixes the flat cable to the attachment member main body by the fixing member when fixed to the fixing member. and means,
The mounting member body includes a flat base, a pair of walls provided at both ends of the base and formed in a U-shaped cross section with the base, and a distal end of the walls, and substantially the base Parallel and opposed, and formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section with the wall portion, the interval between the tip portions is shorter than the length in the width direction of the flat cable, and the flat cable is connected to both wall portions from the interval. A locking member that is locked to the fixing member on the outer surface of the base, and the fixing means is a through-hole provided in the base. When the locking member is locked to the fixing member by being inserted into the hole and the through-hole, the one end contacts the fixing member and the other end connects the flat cable in the mounting member main body. It consists of a pressing member that presses against the contact part .
In this way, by attaching the attachment member main body to the flat cable, the flat cable attachment member is allowed to move in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable, so that it is attached to the flat cable in a temporarily locked state. For this reason, when a flat cable such as an FFC in which a flat cable mounting member is mounted in advance is routed to a fixing member such as a vehicle body, even if the relative position between the flat cable mounting member and the fixing member is shifted (a dimensional error is generated). Even if it occurs, the position can be easily adjusted by moving the flat cable mounting member in the longitudinal direction of the flat cable. Then, by fixing the flat cable mounting member to the fixing member, the mounting member main body is fixed to the flat cable by the fixing means, so that the work (operation) for mounting the flat cable mounting member to the flat cable is not required. .
Therefore, a flat cable mounting member that improves the workability of assembling a flat cable such as FFC to a fixing member such as a vehicle body can be obtained .
In addition , the flat cable mounting member can be configured with a simple structure.
It is preferable that the through hole is formed as a long hole extending along the wall portion, and the pressing member is formed in a flat plate shape.
Thereby, even if the surface of the fixing member with which the pressing member contacts is slightly bent or depressed, the flat cable can be reliably fixed to the flat cable mounting member by the fixing means.
It is preferable that the through holes are provided at locations facing both contact portions of the base, and the pressing members are inserted into the through holes, respectively.
Thereby, a flat cable can be pressed to both contact parts, and the attachment member for flat cables can be reliably fixed to a flat cable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 to 3 are views showing an example of a flat cable mounting member of the present invention.
[0011]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the flat cable attachment member of the present invention is attached to the flat cable 2 and fixed to a fixing member such as the vehicle body 3. The flat cable mounting member 1 surrounds a part of the flat cable 2 (the entire outer periphery of the flat cable 2), and attaches to the flat cable 2 to allow the flat cable 2 to move in the longitudinal direction. The fixing device 6 includes a fixing means 6 for fixing the flat cable 2 to the mounting member main body 5 when the vehicle body 3 is fixed to the vehicle body 3.
[0012]
The flat cable 2 may be any flat electric wire having flexibility, and examples thereof include a flat wire harness, a flexible flat cable (FFC), and a flexible printed circuit body (FPC). It is done. For example, a description will be given by taking FFC as an example. A plurality of conductors made of copper or the like are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval, and these conductors are sandwiched between two insulating sheets such as vinyl chloride in a parallel state. A portion where two insulating sheets are in contact with each other is welded (heat-bonded) and integrally fused. The FFC 2 is used for wiring of the vehicle body 3 because it has excellent flexibility and slidability.
[0013]
The attachment member body 5 may be formed in any manner as long as it can be attached to the FFC 2 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction. For example, the attachment member body 5 may be formed in a rectangular cylindrical shape, but preferably, it is formed in a shape in which the central portion of one long side portion of the rectangular cylindrical body is opened in a slit shape. Good.
[0014]
That is, the attachment member main body 5 includes a flat base portion 10, a pair of wall portions 11 and 11 which are provided at both ends of the base portion 10 and are formed in a U-shaped cross section with the base portion 10, and the wall portion 11. The abutting portion 12 is provided at the tip end portion and formed with the wall portion 11 in an L-shaped cross section. The base part 10, the wall part 11 and the contact part 12 may be provided integrally or individually, and their materials are the same as those generally used for flat cable mounting members, protectors, etc. Is used.
[0015]
The base 10 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape.
The length of the base 10 (the length along the longitudinal direction of the FFC 2 when attached to the FFC 2 (the length in the direction orthogonal to the width direction)) is not particularly limited. For the FFC 2 and the flat cable It is arbitrarily selected from a range in which the attachment member 1 can be sufficiently fixed.
[0016]
The length in the width direction of the base portion 10 (the length between the wall portions 11, 11) may be a little shorter than the length in the width direction of the FFC 2, but is preferably formed to have a length greater than the length in the width direction of the FFC 2. It is good. The upper limit of the length in the width direction of the base portion 10 is preferably set to a value at which the FFC 2 housed (positioned) in the attachment member body 5 does not move greatly in the width direction.
[0017]
The thickness of the base portion 10 is a dimension that does not deform when a clip portion 20 to be described later is inserted into the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3 and locked, and the pressing member 31 to be described later is inserted into the through hole 30. It is preferable that it is a dimension which can be guided by the penetration length.
[0018]
The wall portion 11 is integrally provided at both end portions of the base portion 10, for example. The height of the wall 11 is formed to be longer than the thickness of the FFC 2.
[0019]
The abutting portion 12 is, for example, integrally provided at the distal end portion of the wall portion 11 so as to be substantially parallel to and opposed to the base portion 10.
A slit 13 between the tips of the contact portion 12 is formed as an opening for attaching the attachment member body 5 to the FFC 2. When the opening 13 (the length of the contact portion 12) is shorter than the length in the width direction of the FFC 2 and the mounting member main body 5 is mainly used, the FFC 2 is moved from the opening 13 into the mounting member main body 5 (wall portion). 11, 11), and the FFC 2 is preferably formed in such a size that the FFC 2 does not easily come out from the opening 13.
[0020]
The abutment portion 12 and the wall portion 11 are each formed in a plate shape, but the thickness thereof is not generally determined by the material because the FFC 2 is abutted against the abutment portion 12 but is not deformed. It is preferable to set from the range.
[0021]
A clip portion 20 made of, for example, synthetic resin, which is a locking member, is erected at the center portion of the outer surface of the base portion 10. The clip portion 20 may be configured in any manner as long as it can be inserted into the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3 and locked to fix the flat cable mounting member 1 to the vehicle body 3.
[0022]
The clip portion 20 includes, for example, a pair of movable portions 21 that protrude from the surface of the base portion 10, and extend from the distal end portion of the support portion 21 toward the base portion 10 and have a locking step portion 22 at the distal end portion. It consists of a flexible locking part 23.
[0023]
The distal end portion of the support portion 21 and the base portion of the flexible locking portion 23 are formed in a size and shape that can be inserted into the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3, for example, a substantially hemispherical shape or a substantially semi-elliptical surface shape. It is formed in a curved surface shape.
[0024]
The flexible locking portion 23 is formed so as to be inclined in a direction away from the support portion 21 as the outer surface goes to the tip portion in a natural state where no external force is applied.
Only the base of the flexible locking portion 23 is integrally provided at the distal end portion of the support portion 21, and a space is formed between the other support portions 21. Thus, when the flexible locking portion 23 is pressed in the space direction (when an external force is applied), the flexible locking portion 23 is flexed against the space (inward) against the biasing force. 3 through-holes 4 can be penetrated.
[0025]
The locking step 22 is returned to its original shape by the urging force, or the flexible locking portion 23 is flexed through the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3 against the urging force. When it moves to return to, it locks to the periphery of the vehicle body 3 that forms the locking hole 4. At this time, it is preferable to set the length of the support portion 21 of the clip portion 20 so that the outer surface of the base portion 10 and the surface of the vehicle body 3 are in surface contact.
[0026]
The fixing means 6 fixes the FFC 2 in the attachment member body 5 by the vehicle body 3 when the clip portion 20 is locked to the vehicle body 3 and the flat cable attachment member 1 is fixed to the vehicle body 3. You may comprise.
Specifically, the fixing means 6 includes, for example, a through hole 30 provided in the base portion 10, and when the clip portion 20 is locked to the vehicle body 3 by being inserted into the through hole 30, one end portion contacts the vehicle body 3. The other end portion is composed of a pressing member 31 that presses the FFC 2 in the attachment member main body 5 against the contact portion 12.
[0027]
The through holes 30 are respectively provided at locations facing the two contact portions 12, 12 of the base 10. The through hole 30 extends along a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the base portion 10 (the surface of the wall portion 11), and is formed as a guide for moving the pressing member 31 along that direction.
The through hole 30 is formed according to the shape of the pressing member 31. For example, the through hole 30 is formed as a long hole extending along a direction (surface of the wall portion 11) orthogonal to the width direction of the base portion 10.
[0028]
For example, as shown in the drawing, the pressing member 31 includes a sliding portion 32 that is inserted into the through hole 30 and a pressing portion 33 that is provided at the other end of the sliding portion 32 and contacts the FFC 2. The pressing member 31 has an attachment member main body in a state where one end portion of the sliding portion 32 (an end portion opposite to the pressing portion 33) is penetrated so as to protrude from the attachment member main body 5 to the outer surface of the base portion 10. 5 is attached.
[0029]
For example, the pressing portion 33 is formed in a similar shape larger than the shape of the through hole 30 and has a function as a stopper of the pressing member 31, but presses the FFC 2 in the mounting member main body 5 against the contact portion 12. It is. The surface of the pressing portion 33 that contacts the FFC 2 may be formed in any way as long as it can press the FFC 2 against the contacting portion 12 and fix the attachment member body 5 to the FFC 2. You may form in shape, and you may form in another shape, for example, uneven | corrugated shape. Moreover, you may make it provide a some protrusion in the surface contact | abutted to FFC2 of the press part 33. FIG. Moreover, you may make it provide a friction prevention member with a small friction coefficient in the surface contact | abutted to FFC2 of the press part 33. FIG.
[0030]
The sliding portion 32 is formed in a plate shape whose cross section is substantially the same shape as the shape of the through hole 30, and the sliding portion 32 (pressing member 31) is along a direction substantially orthogonal to the surface of the base portion 10. It can move (slide).
The length of the sliding portion 32 is formed such that the FFC 2 is pressed against the contact portion 12 by the pressing portion 33 when the clip portion 20 is locked to the vehicle body 3. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the length of the sliding portion 32 is such that the FFC 2 is positioned in the mounting member main body 5, one end portion projects from the surface of the base portion 10, and the clip portion 20 is locked to the vehicle body 3. . At that time, the one end portion comes into contact with the vehicle body 3, and the clip portion 20 is inserted into the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3 (the attachment member main body 5 approaches the vehicle body 3). Thereby, when the pressing member 31 moves along the direction of the pressing portion 33 from one end thereof, the clip portion 20 is completely inserted into the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3 and locked as shown in FIG. The FFC 2 is formed in a size that is pressed against the contact portion 12 by the pressing portion 33.
[0031]
Further, the through hole 30 and the pressing member 31 are not limited to the above-described shapes, and may have other shapes. For example, the through hole may be formed in a circular shape, and the pressing member may be formed in a rod shape having a circular cross section. . In this case, it is preferable that the through holes are formed in the plurality of base portions at predetermined intervals along a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the base portion, and the pressing member is arranged for each of the through holes.
[0032]
In order to fix the FFC 2 to the vehicle body 3 using the flat cable mounting member 1, first, one side end portion of the FFC 2 and the opening 13 of the flat cable mounting member 1 are opposed to each other. The flat cable mounting member 1 is moved so that one side end of the FFC 2 comes into contact with the inner wall of the one wall 11 from the opening 13. After the movement (after contact), the flat cable mounting member 1 is moved so that the contact portion 12 provided on the other wall portion 11 contacts the FFC 2 with the one wall portion 11 as a fulcrum. That is, the flat cable mounting member 1 is moved so that the other wall portion of the FFC 2 enters the other wall portion 11 from the opening portion 13. Or the other wall part of FFC2 is bent to the center part side, and this is pushed in into the attachment member main body 5 from the opening part 13. As shown in FIG.
[0033]
As a result, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one surface of the FFC 2 faces the base 10 (becomes parallel), and both end portions of the other surface of the FFC 2 face the contact portions 12 and 12, respectively. Therefore, the attachment member main body 5 is attached to a part of the FFC 2 without being easily removed from the FFC 2. That is, the flat cable attachment member 1 can be easily attached to a predetermined position of the FFC 2.
[0034]
In this state, the FFC 2 is not pressed against the contact portion 12 by the pressing member 31. That is, since the flat cable mounting member 1 is allowed to move in the longitudinal direction of the FFC 2, it is attached to the FFC 2 in a temporarily locked state. For this reason, after attaching the flat cable mounting member 1 to the FFC 2 in advance and positioning the FFC 2 on the vehicle body 3, the clip portion 20 of the flat cable mounting member 1 and the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3 The flat cable mounting member 1 can be easily moved along the longitudinal direction of the FFC 2 without removing the flat cable mounting member 1 from the FFC 2 even if the relative positions of the flat cable are shifted (even if a dimensional error occurs). The mounting position of the flat cable mounting member 1 can be easily adjusted.
[0035]
Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the clip portion 20 of the flat cable mounting member 1 is brought into contact with the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3, and the flat cable mounting member 1 is brought into contact with the vehicle body 3 in this state. That is, the flat cable mounting member 1 is moved in the direction of the vehicle body 3 so that the clip portion 20 is inserted into the locking hole 4.
[0036]
Then, the distal end portion of the support portion 21 of the clip portion 20 and the root portion of the flexible locking portion 23 enter the locking hole 4. Further, when the flat cable mounting member 1 approaches the vehicle body 3, the flexible locking portion 23 comes into contact with the vehicle body 3 forming the locking hole 4 and flexes against the biasing force in the direction of the support portion 21. And enters the locking hole 4. When the flexible locking portion 23 excluding the locking step portion 22 penetrates the locking hole 4, as shown in FIG. 3, the flexible locking portion 23 moves to return to its original shape by the biasing force. Then, the locking step 22 is locked to the periphery of the vehicle body 3 forming the locking hole 4. At this time, the outer surface of the base 10 contacts the surface of the vehicle body 3, and the flat cable mounting member 1 is fixed to the vehicle body 3.
[0037]
Further, when the flat cable mounting member 1 approaches the vehicle body 3, the front end portions (one end portions) of the two pressing members 31 (sliding portions 32) protruding from the surface of the base portion 10 come into contact with the vehicle body 3. As the flat cable mounting member 1 moves in the direction of the vehicle body 3, the two pressing members 31 are pressed by the vehicle body 3 and move along the direction of the pressing portion 33 from the tip portion. At this time, the pressing portion 33 of each pressing member 31 abuts near both wall portions of the FFC 2 in the attachment member main body 5, and the FFC 2 moves in the direction of the abutting portion 12 as the pressing member 31 moves. When the clip portion 20 is locked in the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3 and the outer surface of the base portion 10 is in contact with the surface of the vehicle body 3, the flat cable mounting member 1 is fixed to the vehicle body 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the two pressing portions 33 press the vicinity of the wall portion of the FFC 2 against the contact portion 12. Thereby, FFC2 is clamped by the contact part 12 and the press member 31, and the attachment member 1 for flat cables is fixed to FFC2.
[0038]
Therefore, since the position of the flat cable mounting member 1 of the present invention can be easily adjusted after being attached to the FFC 2, the workability of assembling the FFC 2 to the vehicle body 3 can be improved.
[0039]
Further, the FFC 2 is fixed to the flat cable mounting member 1 by the pressing member 31 by locking the clip portion 20 in the locking hole 4 of the vehicle body 3 and fixing the flat cable mounting member 1 to the vehicle body 3. Therefore, the work (operation | movement) for attaching FFC2 to the attachment member 1 for flat cables is unnecessary. Therefore, the workability of assembling the FFC 2 to the vehicle body 3 can be further improved.
[0040]
The mounting member body 5 includes a flat base 10, a pair of wall portions 11, 11 provided at both ends of the base portion, and a contact portion 12 provided at the distal end portion of the wall portions 11, 11. , 12, the clip portion 20 is provided on the outer surface of the base portion, and the fixing means 6 includes the through hole 30 and the pressing member 31, thereby constituting the flat cable mounting member 1 with a simple structure. can do.
[0041]
In addition, the through hole 30 is formed as a long hole extending along the wall portion 11 and the pressing member 31 is formed in a flat plate shape, so that the surface of the vehicle body 3 with which the pressing member 31 contacts is slightly bent. Even if a depression is formed, the pressing member 31 reliably contacts the vehicle body 3, so that the flat cable mounting member 1 can be securely fixed to the FFC 2. Moreover, since the pressing member 31 is formed in a flat plate shape, the pressing member 31 is not broken by vibration or impact, and is difficult to break even when used for a long time.
[0042]
Further, since the through holes 30 are provided at locations facing the both contact portions 12, 12 of the base portion 10, and the pressing members 31 are respectively inserted into the through holes 30, 30, the FFC 2 is connected to the two pressing members 31. Thus, the flat cable mounting member 1 can be reliably fixed to the FFC 2.
Further, when the through hole 30 is provided as a guide for the pressing member 31, the pressing member 31 can be surely pressed against the abutting portion 12 of the FFC 2, and the flat cable mounting member 1 is more reliably secured. It can be fixed to FFC2.
[0043]
