Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rearview mirror wiring harness connection technology, specifically a rearview mirror wiring harness connection and fixing structure. Background Technology
[0002] The rearview mirror harness connector refers to the wiring harness plug on the car's rearview mirror. It is an important component that connects the rearview mirror to the vehicle's electrical system. These harnesses typically contain wires with multiple functions, such as motor wires, turn signal wires, and heating wires, which control functions such as rearview mirror adjustment, turn signal display, and heating and defogging, respectively.
[0003] Currently, when the wiring harness connector is installed in the rearview mirror housing, the wiring harness is usually only glued to the inside of the rearview mirror housing. This method of fixing is usually not secure enough. When the vehicle vibrates, the internal wiring harness will vibrate and move, which will cause it to bump against the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing. Over time, the bumping may cause the wiring harness connector to loosen, resulting in vehicle malfunction. Utility Model Content

The connector 44 is a connecting structure used to connect the mounting components and fixing components on both sides.
[0026] The first mounting component 2 and the second mounting component 22 have a first connection port 24 on one side of their top, and the first fixing component 3 and the second fixing component 33 have a first connecting bolt 34 on one side of their bottom. The first connecting bolt 34 is movably connected to the first connection port 24, that is, the first connecting bolt 34 connects to the first connection port 24, so that the first fixing component 3 and the second fixing component 33 are respectively installed on the first mounting component 2 and the second mounting component 22. The first connecting bolt 34 moves on the first connection port 24, so that the fixing component can be folded on the mounting component, thereby placing and removing the plug 12 and the socket 13. The first mounting component 2, the second mounting component 22, the first fixing component 3, and the second fixing component 33 have retaining rings 15 on their inner sides, and the plug 12 and the socket 13 have retaining grooves 14 on their outer sides. When the fixing component is closed, the retaining rings 15 on both sides are locked in the retaining grooves 14, thereby fixing the connection between the plug 12 and the socket 13.
[0027] The connector 44 is provided with a second connecting bolt 43 at the top. The first fixing part 3 and the second fixing part 33 are provided with a second connecting port 35 on the other side of their bottoms. The second connecting bolt 43 is movably connected to the second connecting port 35, that is, the second connecting bolt 43 connects to the second connecting port 35, so that the connector 44 is installed on the fixing part.

The second fixing component 33 has a threaded opening 32 at the top, and the threaded rod 41 is threadedly connected to the threaded opening 32. That is, by rotating the rotating bolt 4, the threaded rod 41 drives the second fixing component 33 and the second mounting component 22 to move. The limit rails 21 limit the limit grooves 23, so that the second fixing component 33 and the second mounting component 22 remain stable when moving. That is, the connection between the fixed plug 12 and the socket 13 can be effectively prevented from loosening.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By installing the plug 12 and socket 13 of the wire harness on the first mounting member 2 and the second mounting member 22 respectively, and by moving the first connecting bolt 34 on the first connecting port 24, the fixing member is folded and closed on the mounting member, so that the plug 12 and socket 13 are installed inside the first fixing member 3 and the second fixing member 33. When the fixing member is closed on the mounting member, the bolt 42 rotates in the threaded hole 5, so that the fixing bolt 45 is inserted into the fixing port 25, thereby fixing the fixing member on the mounting member and fixing the plug 12 and socket 13 on the inside. When the fixing member is closed, the retaining rings 15 on both sides are locked in the retaining groove 14, thereby fixing the connection between the plug 12 and socket 13. By rotating the rotating bolt 4, the threaded rod 41 drives the second fixing member 33 and the second mounting member 22 to move. The limiting rail 21 limits the limiting groove 23, so that the second fixing member 33 and the second mounting member 22 remain stable when moving, that is, fixing the connection between the plug 12 and the socket 13, which can effectively prevent loosening.
