Electric-wire protecting pipe and wire harness |
摘要 |
It is an object of the exemplary embodiments to obtain a long electric-wire protection pipe having a flat outer shape, using a simple press working process, while reducing or even preventing warping problems. An electric-wire protection pipe is a metal pipe that surrounds an electric wire, and has a reinforced section (11) and a flat pipe section. The reinforced section is a section that is located at a part in the circumferential direction of the electric-wire protection pipe while extending along the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the electric-wire protection pipe, and that is thicker than other sections. The flat pipe section is a section that constitutes at least a part in the longitudinal direction of the electric-wire protection pipe, and is flattened by press working. |

1. An electric-wire protection pipe having a first circumferential region and a second circumferential region, the electric-wire protection pipe being formed of a material that includes metal and being configured to surround an electric wire, the electric-wire protection pipe comprising:
a first reinforced section located at the first circumferential region in the circumferential direction of the electric-wire protection pipe, the first reinforced section being configured to extend along the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the electric-wire protection pipe, and being thicker than other sections in the circumferential direction of the electric-wire protection pipe; and a flat pipe section constituting at least a part of the electric-wire protection pipe in the longitudinal direction, the flat pipe section being configured such that an outer size of the flat pipe section in a first direction is smaller than an outer size of the flat pipe section in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein the first direction is a direction from a first circumferential region, in which the first reinforced section is formed, in the circumferential direction of the electric-wire protection pipe toward a second circumferential region that is opposite to the first circumferential region. |
