Wire harness installation structure
View Patent ↗In a wire harness installation structure, a main wire W 1 of a wire harness WH is installed in such a manner that it is fixed to a vehicle body panel 1 , and an electric connection box 2 is connected to a branch wire W 2 branching off from the main wire W 1 of the wire harness WH, and the electric connection box 2 is mounted in a predetermined receiving position within a vehicle body. The branch wire W 2 is installed along a bottom surface 2 a of the electric connection box 2 , and is connected at its distal end S to a portion of the bottom surface 2 a of the electric connection box 2 which is spaced a distance, larger than the shortest distance between a branching position P of the branch wire W 2 and the electric connection box, from the branching position P.
1. A wire harness installation structure comprising:
a main wire of a wire harness is installed in such a manner that the main wire is fixed to a vehicle body panel;
a branch wire branching off from the main wire of the wire harness; and
a mounting part connected to the branch wire is mounted in a predetermined receiving position within a vehicle body,
wherein the branch wire is connected to a portion of the mounting part which is located farther away from a branching position of the branch than the shortest distance defined between the branching position of the branch wire and the mounting part in a mounted condition of the mounting part, and is disposed on a surface of the mounting part other than a surface thereof which extends upwardly from a portion of the mounting part disposed nearest to the branching position.
2. A wire harness installation structure according to claim 1 , the branch wire is installed along a lower surface of the mounting part such that the branch wire is led from the branching position to a portion of the lower surface with a distance larger than the shortest distance between the branching position and the mounting part.
3. A wire harness installation structure according to claim 1 , wherein the branch wire is connected to a bottom surface of the mounting part.
