Abstract
A wire harness having a bent router configured to be routed in a bent manner in a vehicle, the wire harness including: a wire; an exterior tube enclosing an outer peripheral surface of the wire; and a heat transfer tube having a rectangular tubular shape, provided between the wire and the exterior tube, and contacting an entire periphery of both the outer peripheral surface of the wire and an inner peripheral surface of the exterior tube, wherein the wire has an exposed part not covered by the heat transfer tube.
Claims16
A wire harness having a bent router configured to be routed in a bent manner in a vehicle, the wire harness comprising:
- a wire;
- an exterior tube enclosing an outer peripheral surface of the wire;
- fixing members attached on an outer peripheral surface of the exterior tube and configured to be fixed to the vehicle;
- and
- a plurality of heat transfer tubes provided between the wire and the exterior tube such that the heat transfer tubes are arranged at intervals throughout the wire harness in an extending direction of the wire and contact both the outer peripheral surface of the wire and an inner peripheral surface of the exterior tube, wherein:
- the wire has exposed parts not covered by the heat transfer tubes,
- the heat transfer tubes each have a rectangular tubular shape, and
- the fixing members are attached on the outer peripheral surface of the exterior tube at positions corresponding to the heat transfer tubes, respectively.
A wire harness having a bent router configured to be routed in a bent manner in a vehicle, the wire harness comprising:
- a wire;
- an exterior tube enclosing an outer peripheral surface of the wire;
- fixing members attached on an outer peripheral surface of the exterior tube and configured to be fixed to the vehicle;
- and
- a plurality of heat transfer tubes provided between the wire and the exterior tube such that the heat transfer tubes are arranged at intervals throughout the wire harness in an extending direction of the wire and contact both the wire and the exterior tube, wherein:
- the wire has exposed parts not covered by the heat transfer tubes,
- the bent router includes a curved part that is curved and a non-curved part that is located on both sides of the curved part and is not curved,
- at least one of the heat transfer tubes is arranged in the non-curved part of the bent router and none of the heat transfer tubes are arranged in the curved part, and
- the fixing members are attached on the outer peripheral surface of the exterior tube at positions corresponding to the heat transfer tubes, respectively.
A wire harness having a bent router configured to be routed in a bent manner in a vehicle, the wire harness comprising:
- a wire;
- an exterior tube enclosing an outer peripheral surface of the wire;
- fixing members attached on an outer peripheral surface of the exterior tube and configured to be fixed to the vehicle;
- and
- a plurality of heat transfer tubes provided between the wire and the exterior tube such that the heat transfer tubes are arranged at intervals throughout the wire harness in an extending direction of the wire and contact both the wire and the exterior tube, wherein:
- the wire has exposed parts not covered by the heat transfer tubes,
- the exterior tube is a corrugated tube having annular raised and recessed corrugations in an extending direction of the exterior tube,
- each of the heat transfer tubes has a raised part that fits into a recessed part in the corrugated tube and prevents displacement in the extending direction of the exterior tube,
- an outer peripheral surface of each of the heat transfer tubes located on both sides of the raised part contacts an opening edge of the recessed part of the corrugated tube, and
- the fixing members are attached on the outer peripheral surface of the exterior tube at positions corresponding to the heat transfer tubes, respectively.
