Abstract

A harness wiring structure includes a first link that has a first fixing member, a second link that has a second fixing member, and a shaft portion that swingably connects the first link to the second link. When the first link and the second link are extended to each other, a wire harness is wired in a straight line so as to pass above the shaft portion and is fixed to the first link and the second link by the first fixing member and the second fixing member respectively.

Claims (17)

1. A harness wiring structure, comprising:

a first link that has a first fixing member;

a second link that has a second fixing member; and

a shaft portion that swingably connects the first link to the second link,

wherein a wire harness is fixed by the first and second fixing member so as to extend adjacent a distal end face of the shaft portion, said wire harness extending substantially in a straight line when the first link and the second link extend along a straight line;

wherein the first and second fixing member are disposed along a same longitudinal axis when the first link and second link extend along a straight line; and

wherein the wire harness is wired on an imaginary line deviating from a centerline of at least one of the first link and the second link.

2. The harness wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the wire harness is wired on a centerline of at least one of the first link and the second link.

3. The harness wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first fixing member is provided on a centerline of the first link or on an imaginary line deviating from the centerline of the first link.

4. The harness wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second fixing member is provided on a centerline of the second link or on an imaginary line deviating from the centerline of the second link.

5. The harness wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein a first distance is set so as to be equal to a second distance;

wherein the first distance is defined as a distance between the shaft portion and the first fixing member; and

wherein the second distance is defined as a distance between the shaft portion and the second fixing member.

6. The harness wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein a stepped portion for receiving a bent portion of the wire harness is provided on at least one of the first link and the second link at a shaft portion side thereof.

7. The harness wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft portion is extended in a first direction perpendicular to a wiring of face of the first link on which the wire harness is wired;

wherein the second link is rotated around a shaft center of the shaft portion, the shaft center extending in the first direction; and

wherein the distal end face is located at one end of the shaft portion in the first direction.
