Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wire technology, specifically relating to wire storage, and more particularly to a wire coil storage structure. Background Technology
[0002] As the core power component of a vehicle, the car engine needs to transmit power and exchange signals with surrounding electrical equipment through wires (or wiring harnesses). In actual assembly, the connecting wires between the two often need to span a certain length. Since the relative position between the engine and the components is fixed but the distance fluctuates (e.g., assembly tolerances of different models, differences in component installation angles, etc.), the actual length of the connecting wires used is often greater than the theoretical minimum required length, thus forming a hanging excess wire segment between the two.
[0003] In related technologies, the storage of dangling excess wires is achieved by wrapping an elastic cord around the excess wire section and tightening it, using the elastic binding force of the cord to secure the wire; or by using plastic or metal cable ties to pass through the excess wire section and securing the wire with the locking structure at the end of the cable tie.
[0004] However, wires simply tied together with elastic cords or cable ties are temporarily secured, but still lack effective restraint. In bumpy environments, they are prone to shaking, swaying, and even rubbing against each other. Their outer insulation layer frequently comes into contact with other components in the engine compartment (such as metal brackets, sharp edges, etc.), which can easily lead to insulation layer damage and short circuits, resulting in circuit failures and even affecting the stability and safety of the vehicle's electrical system.
[0005] Therefore, how to solve the problem of excessive hanging wires being worn down during bumpy rides is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Utility Model Content
[0007] This disclosure provides at least one cable coiling structure to solve the technical problem of dangling excess cable being worn down during bumpy rides.
[0008] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a coiling structure for electrical wires, comprising: a winding post with spacers spirally arranged along its height direction, forming a winding cavity between adjacent spacers; a positioning disk disposed at both ends of the winding post, with multiple locking notches on its circumferential surface; wherein, the electrical wire is adapted to be coiled on the winding post along the winding cavity, and excess length of the electrical wire is inserted into any one of the locking notches and passes through the adjacent locking notch to continue coiling on the winding post along the winding cavity.
[0009] In one optional embodiment, the end face of the positioning disk is provided with a guide ring groove, which communicates with the locking notch. The depth of the guide ring groove is 1.5-2 times the diameter of the wire. The excess length of the wire is inserted into any one of the locking notches, then passes through the guide ring groove from the position of the adjacent locking notch, and continues to be coiled on the winding post along the winding cavity.
[0010] In one optional embodiment, the spacer is provided with an elastic anti-detachment member, and a threading gap is formed between the end faces of two adjacent anti-detachment members, the height of which is less than the diameter of the wire; wherein the wire is adapted to enter the winding cavity from the threading gap and be coiled on the winding post along the spacer, and the anti-detachment member is adapted to limit the wire within the winding cavity.
[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the anti-detachment component has a chamfered surface on its end face facing the outside of the winding cavity.
[0012] In one optional embodiment, a limiting groove suitable for arranging wires is provided on the end face of the partition, which is semi-circular and the radius matches the radius of the wire.
[0013] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a coiling structure for electrical wires, comprising: a winding post, with spacers spirally arranged along its height direction, and a winding cavity formed between adjacent turns of spacers; an elastic anti-detachment member is provided on the spacer, and a threading gap is formed between the end faces of adjacent turns of the anti-detachment member, the height of the threading gap being less than the diameter of the electrical wire; wherein, the electrical wire is adapted to enter the winding cavity from the threading gap and be coiled on the winding post along the spacers, and the anti-detachment member is adapted to limit the electrical wire within the winding cavity.
[0014] In one optional embodiment, positioning discs are provided at both ends of the winding post, and multiple locking notches are provided on their circumferences; wherein, the wire is adapted to be coiled on the winding post along the winding cavity, and the excess length of the wire is inserted into any one of the locking notches and passes through the adjacent locking notch position to continue to be coiled on the winding post along the winding cavity.
[0015] In one optional embodiment, the end face of the positioning disk is provided with a guide ring groove, which communicates with the locking notch. The depth of the guide ring groove is 1.5-2 times the diameter of the wire. The excess length of the wire is inserted into any locking notch, passes through the guide ring groove from the position of the adjacent locking notch, and continues to be coiled on the winding post along the winding cavity.
[0016] In one optional embodiment, a limiting groove suitable for arranging wires is provided on the end face of the partition, which is semi-circular and the radius matches the radius of the wire.
[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the anti-detachment component has a chamfered surface on its end face facing the outside of the winding cavity.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that it provides a wire coiling structure. By spirally setting a spacer on the winding post, the wire can be coiled along the winding cavity and placed on the winding post in a built-in state. Excess wire can be inserted into any locking notch and then passed through an adjacent locking notch to continue coiling along the winding cavity and onto the winding post until the desired length of wire is coiled. Finally, its tail end is inserted into one of the locking notches for fixation. This achieves the effect of internally storing excess wire and tightening and fixing it after storage, preventing the wire from loosening under vibration and effectively solving the problem of excess wire being worn during bumpy conditions.

[0035] Research has revealed the shortcomings of existing technologies: for storing dangling excess wires, one method is to wrap an elastic cord around the excess wire section and tighten it, using the elastic binding force of the cord to secure the wire; or to use plastic or metal cable ties to pass through the excess wire section and use the locking structure at the end of the cable tie to tighten and fix the wire.
[0036] However, wires simply tied together with elastic cords or cable ties are temporarily secured, but still lack effective restraint. In bumpy environments, they are prone to shaking, swaying, and even rubbing against each other. Their outer insulation layer frequently comes into contact with other components in the engine compartment (such as metal brackets, sharp edges, etc.), which can easily lead to insulation layer damage and short circuits, resulting in circuit failures and even affecting the stability and safety of the vehicle's electrical system.
[0037] Therefore, how to solve the problem of excessive hanging wires being worn down during bumpy rides is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.
[0038] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the utility model inventor's practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as contributions made by the utility model inventor to this disclosure.
[0039] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0040] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, some embodiments provide a wire coiling structure, including: a winding post 1, which serves as a support, with spacers 2 spirally arranged along its height, and a winding cavity 21 formed between two adjacent spacers 2; a limiting groove 22 suitable for arranging wires is provided on the end face of the spacer 2, which is semi-circular and its radius matches the radius of the wire. Excess wires are wound from the winding cavity 21 at the appropriate position until the excess wires are collected. The wires wound on the winding post 1 are accommodated in the upper and lower limiting grooves 22 formed between the two spacers 2. When winding the next wire, the wires are arranged in sequence around the first wire, that is, in the limiting groove 22 of another row.
[0042] To secure the ends of excess wire, positioning discs 4 are installed at both ends of the winding post 1. Multiple locking notches 41 are provided on the circumference of the positioning discs 4. The wire is suitable for being coiled along the winding cavity 21 on the winding post 1. Excess wire is inserted into any locking notch 41 and passes through an adjacent locking notch 41 to continue coiling along the winding cavity 21 on the winding post 1. Once the desired winding position is determined, the starting end of the excess wire can be inserted into the locking notch 41 and then spirally wound along the direction of the spacer 2. After winding to the positioning disc 4 at the other end, if there is still excess length, it can be inserted into the locking notch 41 to change direction. After changing direction, it is then coiled along the winding cavity 21 on the winding post 1 until the excess length is finished winding.
[0043] Specifically, the end face of the positioning disk 4 is provided with a guide ring groove 42. The guide ring groove 42 plays a reversing role, allowing the excess length of the wire to be wound into the winding cavity 21 after passing through the locking notch 41. It is connected to the locking notch 41. The depth of the guide ring groove 42 is 1.5-2 times the diameter of the wire. Its main purpose is to completely enclose the wire and prevent the wire from being exposed and rubbed by external parts. The excess length of the wire is inserted into any locking notch 41, then passes through the guide ring groove 42 from the position of the adjacent locking notch 41, and continues to be coiled on the winding post 1 along the winding cavity 21.
[0044] To further enhance winding stability, an elastic anti-detachment element 3 is provided on the spacer 2. A threading gap 31 is formed between the end faces of two adjacent turns of the anti-detachment element 3. The height of the threading gap 31 is less than the diameter of the wire. The wire is adapted to enter the winding cavity 21 through the threading gap 31 and be coiled on the winding post 1 along the spacer 2. The anti-detachment element 3 is adapted to confine the wire within the winding cavity 21. A chamfered surface 32 is provided on the end face of the anti-detachment element 3 facing the outside of the winding cavity 21. The main purpose of the chamfered surface 32 is to facilitate the wire insertion, and the height of the threading gap 31 effectively prevents the wire from detaching.
[0045] Some embodiments provide a coiling structure for wires, including: a winding post 1, with spacers 2 spirally arranged along its height direction, and a winding cavity 21 formed between two adjacent turns of spacers 2; a limiting groove 22 suitable for arranging wires is provided on the end face of the spacer 2, which is semi-circular and its radius matches the radius of the wire.
[0046] The spacer 2 is provided with an elastic anti-detachment member 3, and a wire threading gap 31 is formed between the end faces of two adjacent anti-detachment members 3. The height of the wire threading gap 31 is less than the diameter of the wire. The wire is adapted to enter the winding cavity 21 from the wire threading gap 31 and be coiled on the winding post 1 along the spacer 2. The anti-detachment member 3 is adapted to limit the wire within the winding cavity 21. The end face of the anti-detachment member 3 facing the outside of the winding cavity 21 is provided with a chamfered surface 32.
[0047] Positioning discs 4 are provided at both ends of the winding post 1, and multiple locking notches 41 are provided on their circumference. The wire is suitable for being coiled on the winding post 1 along the winding cavity 21. The excess length of the wire is inserted into any locking notch 41 and passes through the adjacent locking notch 41 to continue being coiled on the winding post 1 along the winding cavity 21.
[0048] The end face of the positioning disk 4 is provided with a guide ring groove 42, which is connected to the locking notch 41. The depth of the guide ring groove 42 is 1.5-2 times the diameter of the wire. The excess length of the wire is inserted into any locking notch 41, passes through the guide ring groove 42 from the position of the adjacent locking notch 41, and continues to be coiled on the winding post 1 along the winding cavity 21.
[0049] In summary, this utility model, by spirally arranging the spacer 2 on the winding post 1, allows the wire to be coiled along the winding cavity 21 on the winding post 1 in a built-in state. Excess wire can be inserted into any locking notch 41, and then passed through an adjacent locking notch 41 to continue coiling along the winding cavity 21 on the winding post 1 until the desired length of wire is coiled. Finally, its tail end is inserted into one of the locking notches 41 for fixation. This achieves the effect of internally storing excess wire and tightening it after storage, preventing the wire from loosening under vibration and effectively solving the problem of excess wire being worn during bumpy conditions.
