DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a storage device for storing an object such as an electronic device to which a wire harness is connected.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, for example, a storage device for storing an electronic device or the like to which a wire harness is connected is provided so that the electronic device can be taken in and out from the front side in order to adjust and maintain the stored electronic device. Various things have been devised. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-138746) The general structure of such a storage device is shown in FIG. 4, and the storage device 1 will be described. The floor plate 3 on which the electronic device 2 is placed is the bottom plate. 4 is provided at a constant distance from the base plate 4, and the space 5 between the floor plate 3 and the bottom plate 4 provides good air permeability, so that heat is radiated from the electronic device 2 and the invaded water is discharged.

Further, the floor plate 3, the side plate 6 erected on the floor plate 3, and the floor plate 3
An accommodating portion for accommodating the electronic device 2 is formed by the upper plate 7 provided in parallel with the above, and a lid plate 9 which can be opened and closed by a hinge 8 is attached to the front surface of the accommodating portion. And
The stored electronic device 2 can be pulled forward by opening the cover plate 9 and sliding the top surface of the floor plate 3.

On the other hand, the wire harness 10 provided at the rear end of the electronic device 2 is detachably connected to the wire harness 11 from the outside by the connector 12.

Here, these wire harnesses 10 and 11 are used for the electronic device 2
When the electronic device 2 is stored, the electronic device 2 is bent and slackened between the rear end of the electronic device 2 and the side plate 6, and is extended when the electronic device 2 is pulled out.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-described conventional storage device 1 has the following problems.

First, when the electronic device 2 is stored, since the wire harnesses 10 and 11 are folded and housed in a narrow space, the connection between the electronic device 2 and the wire harnesses 10 and 11 and between the wire harnesses 10 and 11 and the connector 12 is performed. There is a problem in that an excessive force is applied to the part when it is bent, and the connection part comes off or contact failure occurs.

In addition, when the electronic device 2 is stored, the wire harness 10,1
There is a problem in that 1 needs to be pushed in carefully so as not to be sandwiched between the electronic device 2 and the floor plate 3, which is troublesome.

Furthermore, if the wire harnesses 10 and 11 are made thicker or the number of wires is increased, there are problems that the electronic device 2 cannot be stored and the storage portion must be enlarged.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to smoothly insert and remove an object to be stored without applying an excessive force to the wire harness. .

(Means for Solving Problems) As a means for solving the above problems and achieving the object, a floor plate is provided above the bottom plate with a distance, and the floor plate is oriented in the direction in which articles to be stored are taken in and out. A long hole is provided, and a clamp for fixing the wire harness along the long hole is attached to the front end side of the long hole and the back surface of the floor plate.
A vinyl tube is wound around a portion along the long hole of the wire harness, and a connector is provided in the portion of the wire harness that extends from the stored object to the long hole.

(Function) By winding a vinyl tube around the long hole of the wire harness, the rigidity of that part increases, and when the wire harness is bent at the position fixed by the clamp, it rotates in a straight state. To do. Therefore, when the stored object is pulled out, the wire harness is extended by rotating in the direction in which the stored product is pulled out through the long hole while keeping the wound portion of the vinyl tube straight. In addition, when the stored item is stored, the bending at the clamp part of the wire harness is restored, and the part where the vinyl tube is wound rotates in the direction opposite to that when it is pulled out and passes through the long hole. It is placed between the bottom plate and the floor plate.
In this case, the weight of the connector provided in the middle of the portion of the wire harness that comes out of the stored object and reaches the elongated hole cooperates with the weight of the vinyl tube to pull the wire harness in the vertical direction. The wire harness will be located within the width of the slot when loading and unloading the contents. If the wire harness is located within the width of the long hole, it can be smoothly taken in and out of the long hole.

In this way, items to be stored can be taken in and out without slackening the wire harness.

(Example) Next, the Example of this invention is described based on drawing. It should be noted that members that are the same as or correspond to those of the storage device 1 described in the related art are assigned the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The storage device 13 of this embodiment is provided on the upper surface of the step 14a of the three-wheel type electric vehicle 14 shown in FIG. 5, so that the stored electronic device 2 can be pulled out to the front side of the vehicle. Has become. Further, the battery 15 is placed on the upper surface of the upper plate 7 of the storage device 13, and the whole is covered with the sheet 16.

Next, details of the storage device 13 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

A floor plate 3 is provided at a distance above the bottom plate 4 attached to the rear end of the step 14a. Then, the storage unit for storing the electronic device 2 is, like the conventional storage device,
It comprises a floor plate 3, side plates 6, an upper plate 7, and a lid plate 9 which can be opened and closed by a hinge 8.

A long hole 3a is formed in the floor plate 3 in the direction of taking in and out the electronic device 2. A clamp 17 for fixing the wire harness 11 along the elongated hole 3a is attached to the front end side of the elongated hole 3a and the back surface of the floor plate 3.

Further, the wire harness 10 comes out from the electronic device 2 and the long hole 3a
A connector 12 for connecting the wire harnesses 10 and 11 is connected to the wire harness 10 in a suspended manner in the middle of the portion up to. A vinyl tube 18 is wound around the portion of the wire harness 11 between the connector 12 and the clamp 17 along the elongated hole 3a.

The operation of the above configuration will be described.

When the electronic device 2 is taken out for adjustment or maintenance, the lid plate 9 is opened and the electronic device 2 is pulled out. At this time,
Since the portion of the wire harness 11 around which the vinyl tube 18 is wound has a large rigidity, when the wire harness 11 is bent at the position of the clamp 17, the wire harness 10 rotates in a substantially straight state and passes through the long hole 3a. 11 is extended forward (see Fig. 3).

When the electronic device 2 is to be housed, when the electronic device 2 is pushed in, the portion of the wire harness 11 around which the vinyl tube 18 is wound rotates in the direction opposite to the direction in which it is pulled out and passes through the long hole 3a to pass through the bottom plate. It is stored in a space 5 between the floor 4 and the floorboard 3. At this time, the weight of the connector 12 provided on the way from the electronic device 2 of the wire harness 10 to the elongated hole 3a cooperates with the weight of the vinyl tube 18 and the wire harness 10,1
It acts to pull 1 in the vertical direction.
Since the wire harnesses 10 and 11 are positioned within the width of the long hole 3a when the work is taken in and out, the wire harnesses 10 and 11 can be smoothly taken in and out from the long hole 3a.

In this way, when the electronic device 2 is taken in and out, the wire harnesses 10 and 11 are only bent at the clamps 17 and the vinyl tubes 18 only rotate, and there is no need to slacken the wire harnesses. Unnecessary force will not be applied to the connection between the electronic device 2 or the wire harnesses 10 and 11 and the connector 12.

Since the long hole 3a provided in the floor plate communicates the storage portion and the space 5, the air permeability is improved.

(Effect of the Invention) As described in detail above, according to the present invention, a wire harness whose rigidity is increased by a vinyl tube is bent at a position where it is fixed by a clamp so that the wire harness can be loaded and unloaded without sagging. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent an unreasonable force from being applied to the connection portion such as the wire harness and the object to be stored, and to prevent the disconnection of the connection portion and the failure due to the poor contact.

In addition, the weight of the connector suspended in the middle of the wire harness works together with the weight of the vinyl tube to pull the wire harness in the vertical direction. As a result, it can be smoothly inserted and removed from the long hole. As a result, the wire harness can be smoothly taken in and out without the wire harness being entangled or the wire harness being sandwiched between the object to be stored and the floorboard or the like. By smoothly putting in and out the wire harness from the long hole,
There is no need to increase the width of the slot to reduce its strength.

Further, since the wire harness is housed in the space provided for improving the air permeability between the bottom plate and the floor plate,
Even if the wire harness is thickened or the number of wire harnesses is increased, it becomes possible to store the objects to be stored, and it is not necessary to expand the storage space.
