Abstract

A wire harness includes: a trunk line section obtained by bundling a plurality of power supply lines serving as wiring bodies wired in a vehicle; a trunk line middle distributor to which a power storage device that is mounted on the vehicle and accumulates electric power is connected, the trunk line middle distributor being interposed between both ends of the trunk line section; and a pair of trunk line end distributors each of which is connected to a corresponding one of both ends of the trunk line section and distributes electric power from the power storage device to each appliance to be connected.

Claims (43)

1. A wire harness comprising:

a trunk line section obtained by bundling a plurality of power supply lines and a communication line serving as wiring bodies wired in a vehicle;

a trunk line middle distributor to which a power storage device that is mounted on the vehicle and accumulates electric power is connected, the trunk line middle distributor being interposed between both ends of the trunk line section; and

a pair of trunk line end distributors each of which is connected to a corresponding one of both ends of the trunk line section,

wherein the pair of trunk line end distributors and the trunk line middle distributor are configured to distribute electric power from the power storage device to each appliance to be connected.

2. A wire harness comprising:

a trunk line section obtained by bundling a plurality of power supply lines serving as wiring bodies wired in a vehicle;

a trunk line middle distributor to which a power storage device that is mounted on the vehicle and accumulates electric power is connected, the trunk line middle distributor being interposed between both ends of the trunk line section;

a pair of trunk line end distributors each of which is connected to a corresponding one of both ends of the trunk line section and distributes electric power from the power storage device to each appliance to be connected; and

a communication line for signal communication serving as a wiring body wired in the vehicle separately from the trunk line section, wherein

the trunk line section is wired on one side of a metal flooring material of the vehicle with respect to a vertical direction, and

the communication line is wired on another side of the metal flooring material with respect to the vertical direction.

3. The wire harness according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a communication line for signal communication serving as a wiring body wired in the vehicle separately from the trunk line section, wherein

the trunk line section is wired on one side of a metal flooring material of the vehicle with respect to a vertical direction, and

the communication line is wired on another side of the metal flooring material with respect to the vertical direction.

4. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein

the power supply lines include a power line for power supply and a ground line for grounding.

5. A wire harness comprising:

a trunk line section obtained by bundling a plurality of power supply lines serving as wiring bodies wired in a vehicle;

a trunk line middle distributor to which a power storage device that is mounted on the vehicle and accumulates electric power is connected, the trunk line middle distributor being interposed between both ends of the trunk line section;

a pair of trunk line end distributors each of which is connected to a corresponding one of both ends of the trunk line section and distributes electric power from the power storage device to each appliance to be connected; and

a communication line for signal communication serving as a wiring body wired in the vehicle separately from the trunk line section, wherein

the trunk line section is wired on one side of a metal flooring material of the vehicle with respect to a vertical direction,

the communication line is wired on another side of the metal flooring material with respect to the vertical direction, and

the trunk line middle distributor or the trunk line end distributors include a plurality of divided bodies that are able to be coupled to each other via a coupling unit and are able to be divided from each other via the coupling unit.

6. The wire harness according to claim 3 , wherein

the power supply lines include a power line for power supply and a ground line for grounding.

7. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein

the trunk line middle distributor or the trunk line end distributors include a fastened and grounded part that is fastened to the vehicle and grounded.

8. The wire harness according to claim 7 , wherein

the trunk line middle distributor or the trunk line end distributors include a plurality of divided bodies that are able to be coupled to each other via a coupling unit and are able to be divided from each other via the coupling unit.

9. The wire harness according to claim 3 , wherein

the trunk line middle distributor or the trunk line end distributors include a fastened and grounded part that is fastened to the vehicle and grounded.

10. The wire harness according to claim 4 , wherein

the trunk line middle distributor or the trunk line end distributors include a fastened and grounded part that is fastened to the vehicle and grounded.

11. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein

the trunk line middle distributor or the trunk line end distributors include a plurality of divided bodies that are able to be coupled to each other via a coupling unit and are able to be divided from each other via the coupling unit.

12. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein one of the pair of trunk line end distributors is connected to a second power storage device.

13. The wire harness according to claim 3 , wherein

the trunk line middle distributor or the trunk line end distributors include a plurality of divided bodies that are able to be coupled to each other via a coupling unit and are able to be divided from each other via the coupling unit.

14. The wire harness according to claim 4 , wherein

the trunk line middle distributor or the trunk line end distributors include a plurality of divided bodies that are able to be coupled to each other via a coupling unit and are able to be divided from each other via the coupling unit.
