Title: Wire harness fixing member

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to a wire harness fixing member. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Conventionally, as a wire harness fixing member for fixing a wire harness to a vehicle body, there is a wire harness fixing member that is provided with a plurality of fixing portions that are to be fixed to a fixing target of a vehicle body (e.g., a vehicle body panel). Such fixing members include a first fixing portion that is to be fixed to a first fixing target portion of the vehicle body and a second fixing portion that is to be fixed to a second fixing target portion of the vehicle body. When such fixing members are molded, errors may occur with respect to the distance between the first fixing target portion and the second fixing target portion of the vehicle body. In view of this, by employing a straight sliding structure, for example, in which either the first fixing portion or the second fixing portion is the fixing portion shown in Patent Document 1 and comes into planar contact with the corresponding fixing target portion, it is possible to absorb error in the distance between the first fixing target portion and the second fixing target portion of the vehicle body.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION TO EXECUTE THE INVENTION 
     Description of Embodiments of Present Disclosure 
     First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. 
     A wire harness fixing member according to the present disclosure is 
     [1] a wire harness fixing member for fixing a wire harness to a vehicle body, the wire harness fixing member including: a first fixing portion configured to be fixed to a first fixing target portion of the vehicle body; a second fixing portion configured to be fixed to a second fixing target portion of the vehicle body; a body portion having a support portion configured to support the wire harness; and a rotation member rotatably provided in the body portion, wherein the first fixing portion is provided so as to not be capable of moving relative to the body portion, the second fixing portion is provided on the rotation member, and the distance between the second fixing portion and the first fixing portion changes as the rotation member rotates. 
     According to the above aspect, the position of the second fixing portion relative to the first fixing portion can be adjusted by rotating the rotation member. This makes it possible to easily accommodate dimensional error between the first fixing target portion and the second fixing target portion of the vehicle body. 
     [2] It is preferable that the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are provided in a region on one widthwise side of a center line in a width direction of the body portion, and a rotation axis of the rotation member is provided in a region on another widthwise side of the center line. According to this aspect, it is possible to ensure a certain length from the rotation axis of the rotation member to the second fixing portion. 
     [3] It is preferable that the rotation member includes a shaft portion that has a circular cross-section and forms the rotation axis, and the shaft portion comes into contact with an outer wall that constitutes one widthwise side face of the body portion. According to this aspect, the rotation axis (shaft portion) of the rotation member can be set at a position toward one end portion of the body portion in the width direction. Accordingly, this configuration is more favorable for ensuring a certain length from the rotation axis of the rotation member to the second fixing portion. 
     [4] It is preferable that the second fixing target portion is a hole, and the second fixing portion is provided projecting from the body portion so as to be able to be inserted into the second fixing target portion. According to this aspect, in the fixing structure in which the second fixing portion is inserted into and fixed to a hole of the vehicle body, it is possible to easily accommodate dimensional error between the first fixing target portion and the second fixing target portion of the vehicle body. 
     [5] It is preferable that the body portion includes a rotation member housing portion configured to house the rotation member, and a lid configured to cover an opening of the rotation member housing portion. According to this aspect, by placing the rotation member in the rotation member housing portion while the lid is open and then closing the lid, the rotation member can be more reliably held in the rotation member housing portion. 
     Details of Embodiments of Present Disclosure 
     A specific example of a wire harness fixing member according to the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not intended to be limited to these examples, but rather is indicated by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims. Also, the term “parallel” in the present disclosure does not mean being parallel in a strict sense, but rather is to be interpreted broadly, such as that the effect of the present invention is exhibited as long as the positional relationship is considered to be parallel. Also, the term “orthogonal” in the present disclosure does not mean being orthogonal in a strict sense, but rather is to be interpreted broadly, such as that the effect of the present invention is exhibited as long as the positional relationship is considered to be orthogonal. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , a bracket  10  of the present embodiment is for use in a vehicle, and is for fixing a vehicle wire harness (not shown) to a vehicle body panel P. Note that out of X, Y, and Z axes that are orthogonal to each other in the drawings, the X axis represents the width direction of the bracket  10 , the Y axis represents the depth direction of the bracket  10 , and the Z axis represents the height direction of the bracket  10 . 
     The bracket  10  includes a bracket body portion  11  that supports a connector of a wire harness (not shown), and a rotation member  12  that is assembled to the bracket body portion  11 . 
     Configuration of Bracket Body Portion  11   
     The bracket body portion  11  is an injection-molded part that is made of a synthetic resin material. The bracket body portion  11  has a connector attachment portion  13  to which the connector is to be attached, and an assembly portion  14  to which the rotation member  12  is assembled. The connector attachment portion  13  has a substantially rectangular frame shape when viewed from the Y axis direction. When the connector is mounted the frame of the connector attachment portion  13 , the wire harness is thus supported by the bracket  10 . 
     The connector attachment portion  13  has an extension portion  15  that extends to one side in the width direction (X axis direction) from one end portion (the upper end portion in  FIGS. 1 and 2 ) in the height direction (Z axis direction) of the connector attachment portion  13 . A first fixing portion  16  is provided at the leading end portion of the extension portion  15  in the X axis direction. Note that the assembly portion  14  to which the rotation member  12  is assembled is integrally formed on the other end side (the lower side in  FIGS. 1 and 2 ) of the connector attachment portion  13  in the height direction (Z axis direction). 
     Configuration of First Fixing Portion  16   
     The first fixing portion  16  is provided so as to project in the X axis direction from the leading end face of the extension portion  15 . The first fixing portion  16  is formed as a single piece with the extension portion  15  or separately therefrom. Also, the first fixing portion  16  is provided so as to not be capable of moving relative to the bracket body portion  11 . The first fixing portion  16  is fixed to the vehicle body panel P in a state of being inserted into a first fixing hole Pa formed so as to pass through the vehicle body panel P. Specifically, the first fixing portion  16  has an umbrella-shaped biasing portion  16   a  and a pair of locking portions  16   b  that face the biasing portion  16   a . When the vehicle body panel P is sandwiched between the biasing portion  16   a  and the locking portions  16   b  in the thickness direction, the first fixing portion  16  is thus fixed to the vehicle body panel P. Note that it is preferable that the entire outer peripheral edge of the umbrella-shaped biasing portion  16   a  comes into contact with the periphery of the first fixing hole Pa on one side surface of the vehicle body panel P. 
     Configuration of Rotation Member  12   
     As shown in  FIG. 3 , the rotation member  12  is assembled to the assembly portion  14  of the bracket body portion  11 . The rotation member  12  is an injection-molded part that is made of a synthetic resin material. The rotation member  12  and the bracket body portion  11  are formed as separate bodies, that is to say separate parts. The rotation member  12  is an elongated member that is arranged extending along the width direction (X axis direction) of the bracket body portion  11 . The rotation member  12  includes a cylindrical shaft portion  21 , a body portion  22  that extends radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion  21 , and a second fixing portion  23  provided at the leading end portion of the body portion  22 . The central axis of the shaft portion  21  is parallel to the Y axis direction. The central axis of the shaft portion  21  is a rotation axis L 1  of the rotation member  12 . Also, the rotation axis L 1  is orthogonal to a later-described assembly direction in which the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  are assembled to the vehicle body panel P (the projection direction of the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23 ). Also, the rotation axis L 1  is orthogonal to a direction (Z axis direction) that is parallel to a straight line that connects the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  when viewed from the front face (Y axis direction) of the bracket  10 . In other words, the direction of the rotation axis L 1  is set such that when the rotation member  12  rotates about the rotation axis L 1 , the second fixing portion  23  that rotates integrally with the rotation member  12  moves toward or away from the first fixing portion  16 . 
     The body portion  22  of the rotation member  12  has a base portion  24 , an intermediate portion  25 , and a flange portion  26 . The base portion  24  is a plate-shaped portion that extends radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion  21 . The base end portion side of the base portion  24  is connected to the shaft portion  21 , and the leading end portion side is connected to the intermediate portion  25 . When viewed from the axial direction (Y axis direction) of the shaft portion  21 , the thickness of the base portion  24  is smaller than the diameter of the shaft portion  21 . 
     The base end portion side of the intermediate portion  25  is connected to the base portion  24 , and the leading end portion side is connected to the flange portion  26 . When viewed from the axial direction (Y axis direction) of the shaft portion  21 , the thickness of the intermediate portion  25  is larger than that of the base portion  24 . The flange portion  26  formed at the leading end portion of the intermediate portion  25  extends to both sides in the thickness direction of the intermediate portion  25 . 
     Configuration of Second Fixing Portion  23   
     The second fixing portion  23  is provided so as to project in the X axis direction from the leading end face of the body portion  22  of the rotation member  12 . The second fixing portion  23  projects in substantially the same direction as the projection direction of the first fixing portion  16 . Note that the second fixing portion  23  is formed as a single piece with the body portion  22  or separately therefrom. 
     The second fixing portion  23  is fixed to the vehicle body panel P in a state of being inserted into a second fixing hole Pb formed so as to pass through the vehicle body panel P. Specifically, the second fixing portion  23  has an umbrella-shaped biasing portion  23   a  and a pair of locking portions  23   b  that face the biasing portion  23   a . When the vehicle body panel P is sandwiched between the biasing portion  23   a  and the locking portions  23   b  in the thickness direction, the second fixing portion  23  is thus fixed to the vehicle body panel P. Note that it is preferable that the entire outer peripheral edge of the umbrella-shaped biasing portion  23   a  comes into contact with the periphery of the second fixing hole Pb on one side face of the vehicle body panel P. Also, the biasing portion  23   a  is configured so as to be able to come into contact with the flange portion  26 . The flange portion  26  serves to press the biasing portion  23   a  such that the biasing portion  23   a  is favorably in contact with the vehicle body panel P side. Also, a substantially columnar extension portion  23   c  that extends along the lengthwise direction of the rotation member  12  is formed at the leading end portion of the second fixing portion  23 . 
     Configuration of Assembly Portion  14   
     The assembly portion  14  of the bracket body portion  11  has a rotation member housing portion  31  that houses the rotation member  12 . The rotation member housing portion  31  includes a bearing portion  32  that pivotally supports the shaft portion  21  of the rotation member  12 , a body portion housing portion  33  that houses the body portion  22  of the rotation member  12 , and an opening portion  34  for allowing the leading end portion of the rotation member  12  to project out from the rotation member housing portion  31 . 
     The bearing portion  32  has a space that is partitioned by a pair of support wall portions  35  that each have an arc-shaped support face  35   a  that extends along the outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion  21 , and an outer wall  36  that forms one width-direction side face of the bracket body portion  11 . The outer wall  36  forms a portion of the outer shape of the bracket body portion  11  as viewed from the direction of the rotation axis L 1 . When rotatably housed in the bearing portion  32 , the shaft portion  21  comes into contact with the inner face of the outer wall  36 . The pair of support wall portions  35  face each other in the height direction (Z axis direction). 
     The body portion housing portion  33  is in communication with the bearing portion  32 . The body housing portion  33  has a pair of limiting walls  37  that limit the rotation angle of the rotation member  12  to a predetermined range θ. The limiting walls  37  face each other in the height direction (Z axis direction). The body portion  22  of the rotation member  12  is housed between the limiting walls  37 . The limiting walls  37  extend up to one widthwise side face  11   a  of the bracket body portion  11  (the side face on the side opposite to the outer wall  36  in the width direction). The opening portion  34  is formed in the one widthwise side face  11   a  of the bracket body portion  11 , at a position between the limiting walls  37 . 
     The second fixing portion  23  provided at the leading end portion of the rotation member  12  is configured to project in the width direction (X axis direction) from the one widthwise side face  11   a  of the bracket body portion  11 . Also, the flange portion  26  of the rotation member  12  is configured to face the one widthwise side face  11   a  of the bracket body portion  11 . Moreover, the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  are provided in a region (first region A 1 ) on one widthwise side of a center line L 2  in the width direction (X axis direction) of the bracket body portion  11 . On the other hand, the bearing portion  32  and the rotation axis L 1  (shaft portion  21 ) of the rotation member  12  are provided in a region (second region A 2 ) on the other widthwise side of the center line L 2 . Note that the center line L 2  in the width direction of the bracket body portion  11  is set at the center between the one widthwise side face  11   a  of the bracket body portion  11  and the outer face of the outer wall  36 . 
     The rotation member housing portion  31  has an opening on one side in the Y axis direction so that the rotation member  12  can be attached from one side in the Y axis direction, and the opening is closed by a lid  41 . Note that  FIGS. 1 to 3  show a state in which the lid  41  is open. The free ends of the limiting walls  37  and the one end of the bearing portion  32  in the Y axis direction are covered by the lid  41 . The lid  41  of the present embodiment is formed as a single piece with the bracket body portion  11 . The lid  41  is provided in a lower end portion of the bracket body portion  11  so as to be capable of rotating via a hinge portion  42 . Also, the assembly portion  14  of the bracket body portion  11  is provided with a lock partner portion  14   a  that is fixed by being locked to a locking portion  43  of the lid  41  at a position where the lid  41  covers the rotation member housing portion  31 . 
     Operations of the present embodiment will be described below. 
     The rotation member  12  rotates about the rotation axis L 1  of the shaft portion  21 , which is pivotally supported by the bearing portion  32 , within the rotation range defined by the limiting walls  37 . As the rotation member  12  rotates, the position of the second fixing portion  23  in the height direction (Z axis direction) changes. The second fixing portion  23  opposes the first fixing portion  16  in the height direction (Z axis direction). In other words, as the rotation member  12  rotates about the rotation axis L 1 , the distance between the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  changes. 
     Also, out of the first region A 1  and the second region A 2  that are divided by the center line L 2  in the width direction of the bracket body portion  11 , the rotation axis L 1  of the rotation member  12  is set in the second region A 2 , rather than in the first region A 1  in which the second fixing portion  23  is provided. Accordingly, a certain length can be ensured from the rotation axis L 1  to the second fixing portion  23 . By increasing the length from the rotation axis L 1  to the second fixing portion  23 , it is possible to reduce the angle by which the rotation member  12  needs to rotate in order to obtain a desired swing width (adjustment width) of the second fixing portion  23  in the height direction. 
     Furthermore, the shaft portion  21  of the rotation member  12  is configured to be in contact with the outer wall  36  on the side opposite to the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  in the width direction. Accordingly, this configuration is more favorable for ensuring a certain length from the rotation axis L 1  to the second fixing portion  23 . 
     Effects of the present embodiment will be described below. 
     (1) The bracket  10  includes the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  that are configured to be fixed to the vehicle body panel P, and the rotation member  12  that is pivotably provided in the bracket body portion  11 , and the second fixing portion  23  is provided on the rotation member  12 . The rotation axis L 1  of the rotation member  12  is set orthogonal to the assembling direction (X axis direction) of the second fixing portion  23  and the height direction (Z axis direction) of the bracket  10  (i.e., is set along the Y axis direction of bracket  10 ). The distance between the second fixing portion  23  and the first fixing portion  16  changes as the rotation member  12  rotates about the rotation axis L 1 . According to this aspect, the position of the second fixing portion  23  relative to the first fixing portion  16  can be adjusted by rotating the rotation member  12 . Accordingly, it is possible to accommodate dimensional error between the first fixing hole Pa and the second fixing hole Pb of the vehicle body. Note that in the present disclosure, dimensional error between the first fixing target portion and the second fixing target portion of the vehicle body includes, for example, error in the distance or the shortest distance between the first fixing hole Pa and the second fixing hole Pb that arises due to variation in the positions at which the first fixing hole Pa and the second fixing hole Pb are formed in the vehicle body panel P, and/or error in the distance or the shortest distance between the first fixing hole Pa and the second fixing hole Pb that arises due to variation in the hole diameters of the first fixing hole Pa and the second fixing hole Pb. 
     Also, unlike the prior art, the configuration of the present embodiment is not a configuration in which a sliding member provided with a fixing portion comes into planar contact with a bracket body portion, but rather the rotation member  12  is configured to be able to rotate via the shaft portion  21 . For this reason, the frictional resistance generated due to adjustment of the position of the second fixing portion  23  (i.e., rotation of the rotation member  12 ) can be made extremely small, and as a result, it is possible to easily accommodate dimensional error between the first fixing hole Pa and the second fixing hole Pb of the vehicle body. 
     (2) The first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  are provided in a region (first region A 1 ) on one widthwise side of the center line L 2  in the width direction of the bracket body portion  11 . Also, the rotation axis L 1  of the rotation member  12  is provided in a region (second region A 2 ) on the other widthwise side of the center line L 2 . According to this aspect, it is possible to ensure a certain length from the rotation axis L 1  of the rotation member  12  to the second fixing portion  23 . By increasing the length from the rotation axis L 1  to the second fixing portion  23 , it is possible to reduce the angle by which the rotation member  12  needs to rotate in order to obtain a desired swing width (adjustment width) of the second fixing portion  23  in the height direction. 
     Here, according to the configuration in which the second fixing portion  23  is provided on the rotation member  12  as described above, depending on the rotation position of the rotation member  12 , instead of the second fixing portion  23  being parallel with the first fixing portion  16 , the second fixing portion  23  may be inclined relative to the bearing surface of the vehicle body panel P (the surface surrounding the second fixing hole Pb). At this time, if the amount of inclination of the second fixing portion  23  (the angle of the rotation member  12 ) is large, the second fixing portion  23  cannot be favorably fixed to the second fixing hole Pb. In other words, it is preferable that the amount of inclination of the second fixing portion  23  is limited to a range in which the locking portions  23   b  can come into contact with the vehicle body panel P, and furthermore the entire outer peripheral edge of the umbrella-shaped biasing portion  23   a  can come into contact with the vehicle body panel P. In view of this, in the present embodiment, a certain length from the rotation axis L 1  to the second fixing portion  23  is ensured such that the position of the second fixing portion  23  can be adjusted as desired even if the rotation angle of the rotation member  12  is small. 
     (3) The rotation member  12  includes the shaft portion  21  that has a circular cross-section and forms the rotation axis L 1 , and the shaft portion  21  is in contact with the outer wall  36  that constitutes one widthwise side face of the bracket body portion  11 . According to this aspect, the rotation axis L 1  (shaft portion  21 ) of the rotation member  12  can be set at a position toward one end portion of the bracket body portion  11  in the width direction. Accordingly, this configuration is even more favorable to ensuring a certain length from the rotation axis L 1  of the rotation member  12  to the second fixing portion  23 . 
     (4) The second fixing portion  23  is provided projecting from the bracket body portion  11  so as to be able to be inserted into the second fixing hole Pb. According to this aspect, in the fixing structure in which the second fixing portion  23  is inserted into and fixed to the second fixing hole Pb of the vehicle body, it is possible to easily accommodate dimensional error between the first fixing hole Pa and the second fixing hole Pb of the vehicle body. 
     (5) The bracket body portion  11  includes the rotation member housing portion  31  that houses the rotation member  12 , and the lid  41  that covers the opening of the rotation member housing portion  31 . According to this aspect, by placing the rotation member  12  in the rotation member housing portion  31  while the lid  41  is open and then closing the lid  41 , the rotation member  12  can be more reliably held in the rotation member housing portion  31 . 
     The present embodiment can be implemented with modifications such as the following. The present embodiment and the following variations can be implemented in combination with each other as long as no technical contradictions arise. 
     In the above embodiment, the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  are configured to project from the bracket body portion  11  in the width direction (X axis direction), but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first fixing portion  16  and the second fixing portion  23  may be configured to project from the bracket body portion  11  in the depth direction (the Y axis direction, which is parallel to the rotation axis L 1 ). 
     The fixing structure of the first and second fixing portions  16  and  23  of the bracket  10  and the first and second fixing holes Pa and Pb of the vehicle body panel P is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be changed to bolt fastening, for example. 
     The rotation axis L 1  of the rotation member  12  may be set in the first region A 1 . 
     The lid  41  may be configured separately from the bracket body portion  11 . 
     In the above embodiment, the bracket  10  is fixed to the vehicle body panel P, but alternatively, for example, a configuration is possible in which an intervening member such as a bracket attached to the vehicle body panel P or the like is the fixing target, and the bracket  10  is attached to the intervening member. 
     It is sufficient that the distance between the first fixing portion  16  of the bracket body portion  11  and the second fixing portion  23  of the rotation member  12  can be adjusted according to the rotation angle of the rotation member  12  around the rotation axis L 1  relative to the bracket body portion  11 . For example, the bracket body portion  11  may be configured to allow the rotation member  12  to rotate about the rotation axis L 1  in a predetermined limited rotation angle range. Alternatively, a configuration is possible in which the bracket body portion  11  holds the rotation member  12  at a predetermined selected angle in a predetermined limited rotation angle range, and the rotation member  12  does not rotate in the state where the rotation member  12  has been attached to the bracket body portion  11 . 
     The rotation member  12  of the embodiment is one example of a lever that rotates about the rotation axis L 1 . The body portion  22  of the rotation member  12  of the embodiment is an example of an elongated portion that extends orthogonally to the rotation axis L 1 . The shaft portion  21  of the rotation member  12  may be formed at the base end portion of the elongated portion that can be the body portion  22 . The second fixing portion  23  of the rotation member  12  may be formed at the leading end portion or the tip of an elongated portion that can be the body portion  22 . 
     The connector attachment portion  13  of the embodiment is an example of a wire harness support portion configured to support the wire harness, and may be simply referred to as a support portion. 
     The present disclosure includes the following implementation example. Reference symbols have been added to the components of the embodiments, not for limitation, but as an aid to understanding.
