Abstract: This invention is to provide a protector capable of discharging water into an outside and a wire harness including the protector. A drainage hole is formed as a portion so as to discharge water collecting in an electrical wire receiving portion into an outside. The drainage hole is formed so as to penetrate through the electrical wire receiving portion and toward the rear of a vehicle. Further, the drainage hole is formed so as to gradually slope from the electrical wire receiving portion toward the ground surface. The drainage hole is a through hole which is formed at a position near an end portion of a protection member for the vehicle interior. The drainage hole is formed and located in a portion of the wire harness which is the closest to the ground surface.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a protector capable of discharging water into an outside and a wire harness including the protector [Means for Solving Problem] A drainage hole 46 is formed as a portion so as to discharge water collecting in an electrical wire receiving portion 45 into an outside. The drainage hole 46 is formed so as to penetrate through the electrical wire receiving portion 45 and toward the rear of a vehicle. Further, the drainage hole 46 is formed so as to gradually slope from the electrical wire receiving portion 45 toward the ground surface. The drainage hole 46 is a through hole which is formed at a position near an end portion of a protection member for the vehicle interior 27. The drainage hole 46 is formed and located in a portion of the wire harness which is the closest to the ground surface.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a wire harness allowing a relatively large number of electrical wires to be passed under the floor of a vehicle body. [Means for Solving Problem] A wire harness 21 is provided with a plurality of high-voltage electrical wires 22, a protection member 23 which protects the high-voltage electrical wires 22, fixed members 24, 25 which fix the wire harness in a vehicle, and a low-voltage electrical wire 26. The protection member 23 has two protection members for body under floor 29 and a body under floor protection member 30. The protection members thereof are flat-corrugated tubes. In the two protection members for body under floor protection member 29, circuits 22a, 22b which have the plurality of high-voltage electrical wires 22 are respectively received. Also, in the protection member 30 for body under floor, a circuit 26a which has the low-voltage electrical wire 26 is received. The two protection members 29 and the protection member 30 are arranged side by side.

Abstract: There is provided a wire harness which can improve the workability, stability, durability and safety. The wire harness 21 includes a plurality of high-voltage electric wires 22 connecting an inverter 4 and the battery 5, a protection member 23 protecting the plurality of high-voltage electric wires 22, and a fixation member 24 for a fixation with respect to a vehicle. The wire harness 21 is arranged to extend from a front portion inside vehicle 6 through a vehicle under-floor 10 to a rear portion inside vehicle 7. The protection member 23 includes an in-vehicle protection member 26, 27 and an under-floor protection member 28. The under-floor protection member 28 is a flat-shaped tube having a non-circular cross-sectional shape, is made of insulating synthetic resin and is formed into a concertina-shape having independent, circumferential projection portion and recess portion arranged alternatively in a continuous manner.

Abstract: In a first production process, firstly, a flat corrugate tube 23 having a necessary length for wiring is prepared. Next, a grommet 25 and a protector 24 are assembled with the flat corrugate tube 23 at predetermined positions. In a second production process, high-voltage power lines 22 and low-voltage electric wires 27 are inserted into the flat corrugate tube 23 from the one opening 40 toward the other opening 41. In a third production process, ends of the high-voltage power lines 22 and the low-voltage electric wires 27 exposed from the one opening 40 and the other opening 41 of the flat corrugate tube 23 are treated. When the third production process is finished, the production of the wiring harness 21 is finished.

Abstract: A buffering part 34 is formed by turning an end side of a wiring harness 30 in a U-shape, and by detachably holding a neighbor of an end of the wiring harness 32 with a retainer 29 of a protector 24 disposed on a middle of the wiring harness 33. A circular portion of the buffering part 34 can work as a buffer. The buffer performance of the buffering part 34 depends on flexibility and resiliency of a corrugate tube 25 and on a circular shape formed between a holding position of the retainer 29 and the neighbor of the end of the wiring harness 32.
