Harness routing structure
A harness routing structure comprises: a battery case that defines an internal space which houses a battery and an electric appliance on a hybrid motor vehicle, and that is formed of a first member; a reinforcement that is provided in the battery case, and that is formed of a second member having a greater strength than the first member and that reinforces the battery case; and a harness routed at a position along the reinforcement.
1. A harness routing structure for a vehicle comprising:
a case body adapted to be placed in said vehicle such that a shorter side thereof substanitally coincides with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and a longer side thereof substantially coincides with the transverse direction of the vehicle, defining an internal space which houses a high-voltage electric component part in the vehicle, and being formed of a first member;
a reinforcing member provided on the case body, formed of a second member having a greater strength than the first member, and reinforcing the case body; and
a harness routed at a position along the reinforcing member, wherein the high-voltage electric component part is a battery unit that includes a battery and an appliance juxtaposed with the battery in a vehicular transverse direction,
the harness is connected to the high-voltage electric component part, and
the reinforcing member is provided on a vehicular rearward side of the case body so as to be astride the battery and the appliance.
2. The harness routing structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is disposed at a side of the harness opposite from the high-voltage electric component part housed in the internal space, in a sectional view taken on a plane orthogonal to an extending direction of the harness.
3. The harness routing structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is angularly bent so that a recess portion is formed at a side of the harness opposite from the high-voltage electric component part housed in the internal space, and faces the harness, in a sectional view taken on a plane orthogonal to an extending direction of the harness.
4. The harness routing structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is curved so that a recess portion is formed at a side of the harness opposite from the high-voltage electric component part housed in the internal space, and faces the harness, in a sectional view taken on a plane orthogonal to an extending direction of the harness.
5. The harness routing structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the harness is routed in the internal space.
6. The harness routing structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the harness is routed outside the internal space.
7. The harness routing structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member is formed of a metal.
8. The harness routing structure for a vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the reinforcing member is formed of a steel.
