Abstract

A vehicle wire harness includes first to third cables to be respectively connected to different connection target objects, a sheath covering all the first to third cables together, and a molded resin member covering a portion of the sheath and a portion of each of the first to third cables. The first to third cables are led out of the molded resin member in different directions from each other.

Claims (19)

1. A vehicle wire harness, comprising:

first to third cables to be respectively connected to different connection target objects;

a sheath covering all the first to third cables together; and

a molded resin member covering a portion of the sheath and a portion of each of the first to third cables,

wherein the first to third cables are led out of the molded resin member in different directions from each other,

wherein the third cable is led out of the molded resin member along a direction inclined with respect to an imaginary plane that is parallel to a lead-out direction of the first cable and a lead-out direction of the second cable from the molded resin member, and

wherein an imaginary extended line of the third cable led out of the molded resin member penetrates through the imaginary plane.

2. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first to third cables comprises a plurality of insulated wires each formed by covering a center conductor with an insulation, the center conductor of the insulated wire of the first cable has a larger outer diameter than the center conductors of the insulated wires of the second and third cables, and the first cable is led out of the molded resin member in a direction parallel to the sheath located inside the molded resin member.

3. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the first cable comprises a plurality of power lines to be connected to an electric parking brake device.

4. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the third cable comprises a plurality of signal lines to be connected to a wheel speed sensor.

5. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the imaginary plane, the third cable is located between the first cable and the second cable.

6. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein an angle formed by the imaginary plane and the third cable comprises an acute angle.

7. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein an angle formed by the imaginary plane and a lead-out direction of the third cable led out of the molded resin member comprises an acute angle.

8. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein an angle formed by the imaginary extended line of the third cable and a lead-out direction of the third cable comprises an acute angle.

9. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the imaginary plane, the third cable extends in a direction inclined with respect to the first cable and the second cable so as to be separate from the first cable and the second cable.

10. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the imaginary plane, the first cable, second cable, and third cable are all separate from one another.

11. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein when viewed in a direction parallel to the imaginary plane, the third cable extends in a direction inclined with respect to the first cable and the second cable so as to be separate from the first cable and the second cable.

12. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein an angle of inclination of the third cable with respect to the imaginary plane is an acute angle.

13. The vehicle wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the imaginary plane, the third cable extends in the direction inclined with respect to the first cable and the second cable, so as not to overlap the first cable and the second cable.
