[0031] With the vigorous development of the automobile industry, the difficulty of automobile design is increasing day by day, and the difficulty of wiring harness layout is also increasing. In the process of improving the performance indicators of the whole vehicle, the design space of the wiring harness is bound to be compressed, resulting in a serious shortage of wiring harness layout space, and when the layout environment cannot optimize the wiring harness, the wiring harness needs to design its own solution.

[0032] The existing structure cannot meet the current wiring harness layout and fixation requirements, so for the new vehicle environment, we can only consider redesigning the wiring harness guide and fixation structure to meet the wiring harness layout requirements in a harsh space environment. Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the wiring harness cannot be arranged due to the harsh wiring harness layout environment, the present application provides a wiring harness guide structure and a vehicle.

[0033] The embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with Figures 1-5.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1, which shows a three-dimensional diagram of a wire harness guiding structure in an embodiment of the present application. An embodiment of the present application provides a wire harness guiding structure for restraining, guiding, fixing and protecting the wire harness 7 to meet the installation requirements of the wire harness 7 in a harsh laying environment.

[0035] Specifically, the wire harness guide structure includes a support member 1, a clamping assembly 2 and an installation assembly 3. The clamping assembly 2 is connected to the support member 1, and a clamping channel 6 is formed between the clamping assembly 2 and the support member 1. The wire harness 7 can enter and pass through the clamping channel 6 from any end of the clamping channel 6, so that the wire harness 7 is accommodated and clamped in the clamping channel 6. The installation assembly 3 is connected between the support member 1 and the clamping assembly 2, and is used to fix the clamping assembly 2 and the support member 1 to the vehicle frame to achieve a stable connection between the wire harness 7 and the frame.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2 , FIG. 2 shows a front view of the wire harness guide structure in an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 3 includes two mounting members 31, and the two mounting members 31 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the support member 1, and all the mounting members 31 are arranged on the same side of the extension direction of the support member 1. Since the layout space is tight and demanding, it is necessary to simplify the design of the wire harness guide structure. Therefore, two points of fixation are selected in the present application, which can save the layout space while ensuring the installation stability of the wire harness guide structure, thereby avoiding abnormal movement of the wire harness 7 during the operation of the vehicle, and avoiding abnormal noise caused by the shaking of the wire harness 7 and hitting the frame during driving.

[0037] Specifically, the mounting member 31 includes a mounting portion 311 and a connecting portion 312, the connecting portion 312 is connected between the support member 1 and the clamping assembly 2, the mounting portion 311 is integrally formed with the connecting portion 312, and extends in a direction away from the clamping assembly 2. Taking FIG. 2 as an example, the two mounting portions 311 extend in opposite directions, one of which extends toward the top of the clamping assembly 2, and the other extends toward the bottom of the clamping assembly 2, so as to fix the wire harness guide structure in the diagonal direction.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting portion 312 includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs integrally formed on the outer sides of the clamping assembly 2 and the support member 1, and the reinforcing ribs are criss-crossedly arranged on the periphery of the clamping assembly 2 and the support member 1 to increase the connection area between the clamping assembly 2 and the support member 1, so that the mounting portion 311 can achieve a stable connection with the clamping assembly 2 and the support member 1 with the aid of the connecting portion 312.

[0039] Furthermore, the mounting portion 311 is configured as a plate-like structure, and a mounting hole for fasteners to pass through is provided on the surface of the mounting portion 311. In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of weight-reducing grooves (not shown) are also provided on the surface of the mounting portion 311, and the weight-reducing grooves are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the mounting hole to reduce the deadweight of the mounting portion 311, which helps to achieve a lightweight design of the vehicle body structure while ensuring the structural strength of the wiring harness guide structure itself.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, Figure 3 shows a top view of the wire harness guide structure in an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the extension direction of the support member 1 has a clearance angle 5, and the clearance angle 5 has a certain curvature, which is used to avoid surrounding components (not shown). The clamping channel 6 defined by the clamping assembly 2 and the support member 1 is consistent with the extension direction of the support member 1, so that the wire harness 7 in the clamping channel 6 can be adaptively bent along the curvature of the clearance angle 5 under the constraint of the wire harness guide structure, thereby satisfying the safety gap between the wire harness 7 and the surrounding components under the extreme arrangement here.

[0041] Specifically, the support member 1 includes a first support section 11 and a second support section 12, and the first support section 11 and the second support section 12 are both configured as long strip-shaped plate-like structures. In the embodiment of the present application, the first support section 11 and the second support section 12 can be arranged in different planes, and the central axis of the first support section 11 and the central axis of the second support section 12 intersect and form the above-mentioned yield angle 5 to achieve avoidance of surrounding components.

[0042] In some other embodiments, the support member 1 also includes a bending section 13, which is integrally formed and connected between the first support section 11 and the second support section 12, and is arranged in different planes with the first support section 11 and the second support section 12, and the bending curvature of the bending section 13 corresponds to the angle of the yield angle 5.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the outer edge of the bending section 13 is configured as a rounded arc structure to achieve a smooth transition between the first support section 11 and the second support section 12, thereby avoiding the appearance of sharp corners at the contact point between the clamping assembly 2 and the wiring harness 7, reducing the possibility of the wiring harness 7 being worn by the wiring harness guide structure after long-term use, and helping to extend the service life of the wiring harness 7.

[0044] Preferably, the angle of the yield angle 5 is controlled between 90° and 180°.

[0045] Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 , the clamping assembly 2 includes a first clamping member 21 and a second clamping member 22 connected to the support member 1. The first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 are respectively arranged on both sides of the extension direction of the support member 1 and are arranged along the extension direction of the support member 1. The first clamping member 21, the support member 1 and the second clamping member 22 jointly form the above-mentioned clamping channel 6. After the wire harness 7 is installed in the clamping channel 6, it will bend along the extension direction of the support member 1 under the joint abutment of the first clamping member 21, the support member 1 and the second clamping member 22 when passing through the yield angle 5. In the embodiment of the present application, the first clamping member 21, the second clamping member 22 and the support member 1 are integrally formed and arranged to meet the structural strength requirements of the overall wire harness guide structure.

[0046] Compared with the traditional guide structure that is constructed as a cylindrical structure that passes through from front to back, the wire harness guide structure in the present application cancels the upper cover design, and the overall structural design is more streamlined. While ensuring the stable fixation of the wire harness 7, it also reduces the layout of redundant structures, which helps to reduce design costs and lightweight design of the vehicle, thereby reducing the overall manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0047] In addition, taking Figure 1 as an example, the wire harness guiding structure in the present application cancels the design of the upper cover. When fixing the wire harness 7, the operator can pass the wire harness 7 from one end of the wire harness guiding structure to the other end to achieve the assembly and fixation of the wire harness 7.

[0048] When the operation space is small and it is inconvenient to lay the wire harness 7, the wire harness 7 can also be directly embedded in the clamping channel 6 from the top of the wire harness guide structure, so that the wire harness 7 does not need to be inserted from one side port of the clamping channel 6 and then passed out from the other port, and the wire harness 7 can be conveniently assembled in a limited installation space to improve the installation convenience of the wire harness 7. In addition, as the wire harness 7 is installed in the clamping channel 6, the wire harness 7 can form corresponding bends under the clamping action of the clamping assembly 2, thereby avoiding the surrounding components, maintaining a certain safety gap with the surrounding components, and improving the safety of the wiring harness 7 of the whole vehicle.

[0049] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, Figure 4 shows a stereoscopic view of the wire harness guide structure and the wire harness 7 in an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 5 shows a stereoscopic view of the wire harness guide structure and the wire harness 7 in another perspective in an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the wire harness guide structure further includes a plurality of fixing members 4, and the fixing members 4 are used to fix adjacent wire harnesses 7 on the wire harness guide structure to fix the installation positions of adjacent wire harnesses 7.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, three fixing parts 4 are arranged on each section of the wiring harness guiding structure as an example. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, especially for the case where the wiring harness 7 is arranged in a complex environment, a larger number of fixing parts 4 can be arranged on each section of the wiring harness guiding structure to achieve stable fixation of the surrounding wiring harnesses 7, thereby avoiding the situation where the wiring harnesses 7 are entangled with each other.

[0051] Specifically, all the fixing members 4 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the support member 1 and are arranged on both sides of the extension direction of the support member. Some of the fixing members 4 are integrally formed on the surface of the support member 1, and the remaining fixing members 4 are integrally formed on the surface of the clamping assembly 2.

[0052] The fixing member 4 includes a fixing portion 41 and a clamping portion 42, wherein the fixing portion 41 is integrally formed on the surface of the supporting member 1 or the first clamping member 21 or the second clamping member 22, and extends in a direction away from the supporting member 1. The clamping portion 42 is detachably connected to the fixing portion 41, and is used to clamp the adjacent wire harnesses 7 on the fixing portion 41, so as to constrain and fix the adjacent wire harnesses 7, so that multiple wire harnesses 7 can be neatly and orderly arranged in a limited layout space, so as to reduce the situation where the wire harnesses 7 are entangled with each other, and improve the safety and aesthetics of the layout of the wire harnesses 7.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, all the fixing portions 41 are configured as a plate-like structure, and the surface of the fixing portion 41 is penetrated by a fixing hole. The clamping portion 42 can specifically be a buckle that is detachably inserted into the fixing hole, one end of the buckle is set as a connecting end for clamping the adjacent wiring harness 7, and the other end has a pair of barb structures, and the barb structures are inclined toward one side of the connecting end. During actual assembly, the operator passes the end of the buckle with the barb structure through the fixing hole, and then the barb structure is unfolded and clamped to the surface of the fixing portion 41, and the connecting end has an interlocking groove (not shown), and the adjacent wiring harness 7 can be adapted and fixed in the interlocking groove to achieve the integrated fixation of multiple wiring harnesses 7.

[0054] As shown in the wire harness guiding structure of the present application, as shown in FIG1 , when the wire harness 7 does not have this structure, the wire harness 7 cannot bend by itself and cannot meet the safety gap with surrounding parts. Therefore, this guiding structure is designed, and a bend is designed in the middle of the bracket structure to meet the safety gap between the wire harness 7 and surrounding parts under the extreme arrangement.

[0055] First, the harness guide structure is composed of two mounting parts 31, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Because the space is tight and demanding, the fixed structure design needs to be streamlined, so two points are selected for fixing to save space and fix firmly. Secondly, the harness guide structure is designed with a three-sided enclosed structure, as shown in Figure 4, eliminating the upper cover, streamlining the design, reducing design redundancy, and reducing design costs.

[0056] At the same time, the harness guide structure is provided with three fixing parts 4 for fixing other surrounding harnesses 7, see FIG5, this design solves the problem that the surrounding harnesses 7 cannot be fixed and arranged. This harness guide structure design makes efficient use of space and has high integration. By using the multi-faceted design of the clamping structure, both the harness 7 and the surrounding harnesses 7 are effectively fixed, providing support for the space design of the whole vehicle, meeting the design requirements of the whole vehicle, and avoiding major changes such as changes in the shape of the whole vehicle and performance indicators due to the impracticability of the harness 7.

[0057] The above four design structures are concentrated in one harness guide structure, which meets the function of the structure is highly concentrated and effective. Different from the existing bracket design system, it better solves the problem that the harness 7 cannot be arranged due to the tight layout environment of the whole vehicle. At the same time, it has horizontal expansion and can be used in the same position of other models, thereby solving the wiring harness 7 layout problem of other models.

[0058] In some embodiments, the present application also provides a vehicle, which includes a wire harness guiding structure as shown in any of the above embodiments.

[0059] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0060] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
