Corrugated tube and wire harness
A corrugated tube includes: a tubular body including outer-face bellows recess sections outer-face bellows protruding sections in a circumferential direction as viewed from an outside, wherein the outer-face bellows recess section and the outer-face bellows protruding section are alternately arranged continuously in an axial direction of the tubular body. Deep groove sections are formed in some of the outer-face bellows recess sections. The deep groove section has: a shape being recessed partially in a predetermined range in the circumferential direction; a shape protruding toward an inner side of the tubular body; and a shape having a pair of tapered sections as viewed from the axial direction of the tubular body.
1. A corrugated tube comprising:
a tubular body including outer-face bellows recess sections and outer-face bellows protruding sections in a circumferential direction as viewed from an outside, wherein the outer-face bellows recess section and the outer-face bellows protruding section are alternately arranged continuously in an axial direction of the tubular body,
wherein deep groove sections are formed in some of the outer-face bellows recess sections,
wherein each of the deep groove sections has: a shape being recessed partially in a predetermined range in the circumferential direction; a shape protruding toward an inner side of the tubular body; and a shape having a pair of tapered sections as viewed from the axial direction of the tubular body, and
wherein each of the deep groove sections has a closed bottom portion so that inside and outside of the tubular body are not communicated to each other.
2. The corrugated tube according to claim 1 ,
wherein the deep groove sections are arranged in the axial direction of the tubular body, and the deep groove sections are formed and disposed such that depths thereof change gradually in the axial direction of the tubular body.
3. The corrugated tube according to claim 1 ,
wherein the deep groove sections are arranged in the axial direction of the tubular body, and reinforcing sections having a rib shape as viewed from the outside of the tubular body are formed at the deep groove sections.
4. The corrugated tube according to claim 1 , where the deep groove sections are disposed zigzag on upper and lower sides of the tubular body along the axial direction.
5. The corrugated tube according to claim 1 , where the deep groove sections are disposed on a same side of the tubular body along the axial direction.
6. The corrugated tube according to claim 1 , where the deep groove sections are arranged in a spiral shape about the axial direction of the tubular body.
7. A wire harness comprising:
a corrugated tube formed by a tubular body including outer-face bellows recess sections and outer-face bellows protruding sections in a circumferential direction as viewed from an outside, wherein the outer-face bellows recess section and the outer-face bellows protruding section are alternately arranged continuously in an axial direction of the tubular body, and
one or more conductive paths inserted into the tubular body,
wherein deep groove sections are formed in some of the outer-face bellows recess sections in the tubular body, and
wherein each of the deep groove section sections has: a shape being recessed partially in a predetermined range in the circumferential direction; a shape protruding toward an inner side of the tubular body; and a shape having a pair of tapered sections as viewed from the axial direction of the tubular body, and
wherein each of the deep groove sections has a closed bottom portion so that inside and outside of the tubular body are not communicated to each other.
8. The wire harness according to claim 7 , where the deep groove sections are disposed zigzag on upper and lower sides of the tubular body along the axial direction.
9. The wire harness according to claim 7 , where the deep groove sections are disposed on a same side of the tubular body along the axial direction.
10. The wire harness according to claim 7 , where the deep groove sections are arranged in a spiral shape about the axial direction of the tubular body.
11. The wire harness according to claim 7 , wherein the deep groove sections are arranged in the axial direction of the tubular body, and the deep groove sections are formed and disposed such that depths thereof change gradually in the axial direction of the tubular body.
12. The wire harness according to claim 7 , wherein the deep groove sections are arranged in the axial direction of the tubular body, and reinforcing sections having a rib shape as viewed from the outside of the tubular body are formed at the deep groove sections.
