A wire harness arrangement device

Abstract

This invention discloses a wire harness arrangement device, including a track for sliding a seat. The track has a first component and a second component, with a wiring groove between the first and second components. It further includes a constraint tube, in which the wire harness passes, and the constraint tube is arranged along the wiring groove. The constraint tube includes multiple unit rings arranged axially thereon; and constraint ribs arranged axially along the constraint tube to connect the multiple unit rings and / or multiple connecting rings, with the constraint ribs located at the highest and / or lowest positions of the connecting rings and / or unit rings. In this application, the constraint tube constrains the wire harness, allowing the wire harness to be placed outside the slide rail and laid along the wiring groove, eliminating the need for routing through the interior of the slide rail. Furthermore, the space of the wiring groove between the first and second components is much larger than the space inside the slide rail, allowing for the arrangement of more wire harnesses.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive internal wiring technology, and more particularly to a wiring harness arrangement device. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of electronic devices in cars requiring wire connections, the number of wiring harnesses in vehicles has grown significantly, placing higher demands on wiring methods. For example, the wiring under car seats needs to move as the seats adjust forward and backward. Therefore, the harness cannot be rigidly tied to the car floor, nor can it be allowed to move freely, which would result in a messy wiring harness. Thus, the wiring harness needs to be vertically constrained during routing, ensuring it moves orderly along the seat's contours.

[0003] In existing wiring solutions under car seats, the wiring harness is run inside the seat rail, and the upper and lower surfaces of the rail limit the wiring harness to prevent it from moving vertically.

[0004] However, existing wiring solutions have the following drawbacks: First, the wiring harness needs to be run inside the slide rail, which limits the number of harnesses that can be routed within the slide rail's internal space, making it insufficient to accommodate the increasing number of wiring harnesses in a car. Second, during car assembly, the wiring harness must first be laid inside the slide rail, then the slide rail is connected to the floor, then carpet is laid, and finally trim strips are installed. Subsequent assembly processes cannot proceed before the wiring harness is laid. Therefore, this wiring harness routing method delays the car assembly process and reduces assembly efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a wire harness arrangement device to solve the problem that the number of wire harnesses is limited due to the need to lay the wire harnesses inside the slide rail in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is a wire harness arrangement device, including a track for sliding a seat, the track having a first component and a second component, a wire routing groove between the first component and the second component, and further including:

[0007] The constraint tube contains the wire harness, which is laid along the wiring groove. The constraint tube includes multiple unit rings arranged along its axial direction, with a connecting ring between any two adjacent unit rings, and one side of the connecting ring is connected to a unit ring. Each unit ring includes a first semicircle and a second semicircle, and the connecting ring includes a third semicircle and a fourth semicircle.

[0008] A constraint rib is provided along the axial direction of the constraint tube to connect multiple unit rings and / or multiple connecting rings, and the constraint rib is located at the highest and / or lowest position of the connecting ring and / or unit ring; when the constraint rib is located at the highest and / or lowest position of the unit ring, the first semicircle and the second semicircle are simultaneously connected to the constraint rib; when the constraint rib is located at the highest and / or lowest position of the connecting ring, the third semicircle and the fourth semicircle are simultaneously connected to the constraint rib.

[0009] Furthermore, two constraint ribs are provided, one of which is located at the highest position of the unit ring, and the other constraint rib is located at the lowest position of the unit ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the highest and lowest positions of the connecting ring are recessed towards the unit ring to form a constraint portion.

[0011] Furthermore, two constraint ribs are provided, one of which is located at the highest position of the connecting ring, and the other constraint rib is located at the lowest position of the connecting ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the highest and lowest positions of the unit ring are recessed towards the connecting ring to form a constraint portion.

[0013] Furthermore, two constraint ribs are provided, one of which is located at the highest position of the unit ring, and the other constraint rib is located at the lowest position of the connecting ring.

[0014] Furthermore, the highest position of the connecting ring faces the groove in the direction of the unit ring to form a constraint part; the lowest position of the unit ring faces the groove in the direction of the connecting ring to form a constraint part.

[0015] Furthermore, the side wall of the constraint tube is provided with a groove, and the groove extends through both ends of the constraint tube.

[0016] Furthermore, the cross-section of the constraint tube is circular, rectangular, waist-shaped, or elliptical.

[0017] Furthermore, the constraint part is provided with a constraint plate that penetrates the constraint tube.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) Setting a constraint tube to constrain the wire harness enables the wire harness to be placed outside the slide rail and laid along the wiring groove, without having to pass through the inside of the slide rail for wiring. The space of the wiring groove between the first component and the second component is much larger than the space inside the slide rail, so that the wiring method of this application can lay more wire harnesses.

[0020] (2) By laying the wire harness outside the slide rail, it is not necessary to assemble the wire harness and slide rail first and then carry out other assembly processes. The wiring of the wire harness will not affect other assembly processes, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-14 This invention discloses a wiring harness arrangement device, including a track for sliding a seat, the track having a first component 200 and a second component 300, a wiring groove between the first component 200 and the second component 300, and further comprising:

[0041] A constraint tube 100 is provided, in which the wire harness passes and is arranged along the wiring groove; the constraint tube 100 includes a plurality of unit rings 110 arranged along its axial direction, and a connecting ring 120 is provided between any two adjacent unit rings 110, and one side of the connecting ring 120 is connected to a unit ring 110; the unit ring 110 includes a first semicircle 111 and a second semicircle 112, and the connecting ring 120 includes a third semicircle 121 and a fourth semicircle 122;

[0042] A constraint rib 130 is arranged along the axial direction of the constraint tube 100 to connect multiple unit rings 110 and / or multiple connecting rings 120, and the constraint rib 130 is located at the highest and / or lowest position of the connecting rings 120 and / or unit rings 110; when the constraint rib 130 is located at the highest and / or lowest position of the unit rings 110, the first semicircle 111 and the second semicircle 112 are simultaneously connected to the constraint rib 130; when the constraint rib 130 is located at the highest and / or lowest position of the connecting rings 120, the third semicircle 121 and the fourth semicircle 122 are simultaneously connected to the constraint rib 130.

[0043] Specifically, the constraint tube 100 includes multiple unit rings 110 and multiple connecting rings 120, which are connected in an alternating manner. One side of each of the multiple unit rings 110 can move closer to or further away from each other to allow the constraint tube 100 to bend laterally, so that the constraint tube 100 not set in the wiring groove can bend laterally to achieve wiring. At the same time, since the constraint tube 100 is located in the wiring groove between the first component 200 and the second component 300, the first component 200 and the second component 300 will laterally limit the constraint tube 100, which can prevent the constraint tube 100 in the wiring groove from bending laterally.

[0044] Meanwhile, a constraint rib 130 is provided to connect the first semicircle 111 and the second semicircle 112, or to connect the third semicircle 121 and the fourth semicircle 122. Since the constraint rib 130 is set at the highest and / or lowest position, when the constraint tube 100 has a tendency to bend longitudinally, the constraint rib 130 is subjected to longitudinal force to counteract the tendency, enhance the longitudinal bending resistance of the constraint tube 100, and thus prevent the longitudinal bending of the constraint tube 100, avoid the wire harness from moving arbitrarily in the vertical direction, and enable the wire harness to be routed in an orderly manner.

[0045] First, by setting the constraint tube 100 to constrain the wire harness, this application allows the wire harness to be placed outside the slide rail and laid along the wiring groove, without needing to pass through the interior of the slide rail for wiring. Furthermore, the space of the wiring groove between the first component and the second component 300 is much larger than the space inside the slide rail, allowing for the laying of more wire harnesses using this wiring method. Second, by laying the wire harness outside the slide rail, this application eliminates the need to assemble the wire harness and the slide rail first, followed by other assembly processes. The wire harness routing does not affect other assembly processes, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, there are two constraint ribs 130, one of which is located at the highest position of the unit ring 110, and the other constraint rib is located at the lowest position of the unit ring 110.

[0047] Furthermore, the highest and lowest positions of the connecting ring 120 are recessed toward the unit ring 110 to form a constraint portion.

[0048] The third semicircle 121 and the fourth semicircle 122 each extend a connecting segment that connects to the constraint rib 130. The two connecting segments and the constraint rib 130 form a groove, which is the constraint part. When the constraint tube 100 is subjected to longitudinal force, the constraint part can resist the force and improve the longitudinal bending strength of the constraint tube 100.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 5-6As shown, there are two constraint ribs 130, one of which is located at the highest position of the connecting ring 120, and the other constraint rib 130 is located at the lowest position of the connecting ring 120.

[0050] Furthermore, the highest and lowest positions of the unit ring 110 are recessed toward the connecting ring 120 to form a constraint portion.

[0051] The first semicircle 111 and the second semicircle 112 each extend a connecting segment that connects to the constraint rib 130. The two connecting segments and the constraint rib 130 form a groove, which is the constraint part. When the constraint tube 100 is subjected to longitudinal force, the constraint part can resist the force and improve the longitudinal bending strength of the constraint tube 100.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figures 7-8 As shown, there are two constraint ribs 130, one of which is located at the highest position of the unit ring 110, and the other constraint rib is located at the lowest position of the connecting ring 120.

[0053] Furthermore, the highest position of the connecting ring 120 has a groove facing the unit ring 110 to form a constraint part; the lowest position of the unit ring 110 has a groove facing the connecting ring 120 to form a constraint part.

[0054] One of the constraint ribs 130 is provided on the connecting ring 120 to connect the third semicircle 121 and the fourth semicircle 122; the other constraint rib 130 is provided on the unit ring 110 to connect the first semicircle 111 and the second semicircle 112.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figures 9-10 As shown, the side wall of the constraint tube 100 is provided with a groove 140, and the groove 140 passes through both ends of the constraint tube 100.

[0056] Because of the slot 140 and the elasticity of the constraint tube 100, the slot 140 can be opened, and the wire harness can be directly inserted into the constraint tube 100 from the slot 140 without having to pass the wire harness through the end of the constraint tube 100, making the operation more convenient.

[0057] Furthermore, the cross-section of the constraint tube 100 is circular, rectangular, waist-shaped, or elliptical.

[0058] When the cross-section of the constraint tube 100 is rectangular, slotted, or elliptical, and the longitudinal height is greater than the transverse width, the bending strength of the constraint tube 100 under longitudinal stress can be increased.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figures 13-14As shown, the constraint part is provided with a constraint plate 150 that penetrates the constraint tube 100.

[0060] When the constraint plate 150 is set up, the constraint tube 100 tends to bend longitudinally under longitudinal force. The constraint plate 150 is subjected to longitudinal force to counteract this tendency, thereby enhancing the longitudinal bending strength of the constraint tube 100.

[0061] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0062] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving terms such as "first," "second," and "a" are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0063] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0064] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
