Abstract

A sensor harness fixing structure comprises a case having a protrusion on the outer surface thereof, and another case having a notch to be fitted with the protrusion, and disposed outside the case. A curved portion is provided at the bottom of the notch, and another curved portion is provided in a portion of the protrusion opposed to the curved portion. A harness from ultrasonic sensors disposed inside the case is interposed and held between the curved portion and the other curved portion via an elastic material such as rubber. The harness is fixed reliably with high waterproofness.

Claims

1. A sensor harness fixing structure, comprising:

a first case accommodating sensors in an interior thereof, and having a protrusion on an outer surface thereof; and

a second case having a notch to be fitted with said protrusion, and disposed outside said first case, and wherein

a curved portion is provided at a bottom of said notch,

other curved portion is provided in a portion of said protrusion opposed to said curved portion, and

a harness for said sensors is interposed and held between said curved portion and said other curved portion.

2. The sensor harness fixing structure according to claim 1, wherein

said harness is interposed and held via an elastic material.

3. The sensor harness fixing structure according to claim 2, wherein

said elastic material is a corrugated tube covering said harness,

said corrugated tube has projections and depressions formed on a surface thereof, and

projections and depressions corresponding to said projections and depressions are formed in said first case and said second case.
