Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An engine cover member mounting structure, including: an engine body; a peripheral member arranged on an outer wall of the engine body; a cover member arranged between the outer wall and the peripheral member; and a harness routed between the outer wall and the peripheral member, wherein the harness is held on a surface of the cover member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An engine cover member mounting structure, comprising: an engine body mounted on a vehicle, having a cylinder block and a cylinder head; a peripheral member arranged on an outer wall of the engine body; a cover member arranged between the outer wall and the peripheral member; and a harness routed between the outer wall and the peripheral member, wherein the cover member includes a groove formed in the surface of the cover member facing the outer wall, the groove receiving the harness, the width of the groove is substantially equal to the diameter of the harness, the depth of the groove is greater than the diameter of the harness, and the harness is held in the groove at a predetermined distance from the outer wall. 2. The engine cover member mounting structure of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral member is attached to the outer wall of the engine body via a support, and the support is provided with a guide mechanism that allows the peripheral member to move toward the engine body when a load is inputted to the peripheral member in a direction toward the engine body. 3. The engine cover member mounting structure of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral member is an accessory. 4. The engine cover member mounting structure of claim 3 , wherein the accessory is an alternator. 5. The engine cover member mounting structure of claim 1 , wherein a connector portion is formed on at least one end of the harness for connection to a different member, and the connector portion is positioned outside the cover member. 6. An engine cover member mounting structure, comprising: an engine body mounted on a vehicle, having a cylinder block and a cylinder head; an accessory arranged on an outer wall of the engine body facing forward in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle; a cover member arranged between the outer wall and the accessory; and a harness routed between the outer wall and the accessory, wherein the accessory is attached to the outer wall of the engine body via a support, and the support is provided with a guide mechanism that allows the accessory to move rearward when a load toward a rear side in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is inputted to the accessory, the harness is held in a groove formed to be recessed in a thickness direction of the cover member in a surface of the cover member facing the outer wall, the width of the groove is substantially equal to the diameter of the harness, the depth of the groove is greater than the diameter of the harness, the harness is held in the groove at a predetermined distance from the outer wall, a connector portion is formed on at least one end of the harness for connection to a different member, and the connector portion is positioned outside the cover member and the accessory when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
