Electric wire and wire harness
View Patent ↗An electric wire and a wire harness include a linear conductor, and a covering member configured to include a covering main body that covers an outer circumferential side of the conductor, and a rib portion that is formed integrally with the covering main body, as a protrusion, on an outer circumferential surface of the covering main body.
1. An electric wire comprising:
a linear conductor; and
a covering member configured to include a covering main body that covers an outer circumferential side of the conductor, and a rib portion that is formed integrally with the covering main body, as a protrusion, on an outer circumferential surface of the covering main body, wherein
the covering member includes a straight portion in which the rib portion is formed along an extending direction of the conductor, and a bent portion that is provided beside the straight portion along the extending direction of the conductor and in which the rib portion is less dense than that in the straight portion, and
the bent portion is provided with the rib portion.
2. An electric wire comprising:
a linear conductor; and
a covering member configured to include a covering main body that covers an outer circumferential side of the conductor, and a rib portion that is formed integrally with the covering main body, as a protrusion, on an outer circumferential surface of the covering main body, wherein
the covering member includes a bent outer part in which the rib portion is formed and a bent inner part that is provided beside the bent outer part along a circumferential direction of the covering main body and in which the rib portion is less dense than that in the bent outer part.
3. The electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein
the covering member includes sites having different density of the rib portion from each other in the extending direction of the conductor.
4. The electric wire according to claim 2 , wherein
the covering member includes sites having different density of the rib portion from each other in the extending direction of the conductor.
5. The electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the covering member includes sites having different density of the rib portion from each other in a circumferential direction of the covering main body.
6. The electric wire according to claim 2 , wherein
the covering member includes sites having different density of the rib portion from each other in the circumferential direction of the covering main body.
7. The electric wire according to claim 3 , wherein
the covering member includes sites having different density of the rib portion from each other in the circumferential direction of the covering main body.
8. The electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein
the covering member is a sheath that covers an outer circumferential side of an insulated wire obtained by covering the conductor with an insulator.
9. The electric wire according to claim 2 , wherein
the covering member is a sheath that covers an outer circumferential side of an insulated wire obtained by covering the conductor with an insulator.
10. The electric wire according to claim 3 , wherein
the covering member is a sheath that covers an outer circumferential side of an insulated wire obtained by covering the conductor with an insulator.
11. The electric wire according to claim 4 , wherein
the covering member is a sheath that covers an outer circumferential side of an insulated wire obtained by covering the conductor with an insulator.
12. The electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein
the covering member is an insulator that covers the outer circumferential side of the conductor.
13. The electric wire according to claim 2 , wherein
the covering member is an insulator that covers the outer circumferential side of the conductor.
14. The electric wire according to claim 3 , wherein
the covering member is an insulator that covers the outer circumferential side of the conductor.
15. The electric wire according to claim 4 , wherein
the covering member is an insulator that covers the outer circumferential side of the conductor.
16. A wire harness comprising:
an electric wire that includes a linear conductor, and a covering member configured to include a covering main body that covers an outer circumferential side of the conductor, and a rib portion that is formed integrally with the covering main body, as a protrusion, on an outer circumferential surface of the covering main body; and
a connecting unit provided at an end portion of the electric wire, wherein
the covering member includes a straight portion in which the rib portion is formed along an extending direction of the conductor, and a bent portion that is provided beside the straight portion along the extending direction of the conductor and in which the rib portion is less dense than that in the straight portion,
the straight portion constitutes a linear conductive path, and
the bent portion constitutes a bent conductive path provided with the rib portion.
17. A wire harness comprising:
an electric wire that includes a linear conductor, and a covering member configured to include a covering main body that covers an outer circumferential side of the conductor, and a rib portion that is formed integrally with the covering main body, as a protrusion, on an outer circumferential surface of the covering main body; and
a connecting unit provided at an end portion of the electric wire, wherein
the covering member includes a bent outer part in which the rib portion is formed and a bent inner part that is provided beside the bent outer part along a circumferential direction of the covering main body and in which the rib portion is less dense than that in the bent outer part.
