It is an indispensable component in various electrical and electronic equipment. Traditional electronic wiring harnesses usually use fixed connection methods. In some scalable devices, when the structure of the device changes or different circuit connection combinations are required, traditional wiring harnesses cannot meet the needs of rapid adaptation and adjustment, which will limit the performance of the device or even make it unable to work properly. Summary of the invention

[0025] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the same components are represented by the same reference numerals.

[0026] It should be noted that the words "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up" and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the drawings, and the words "inside" and "outside" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0027] In order to make the contents of the present invention more clearly understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an adjustable electronic wiring harness includes a male plug 1, a female plug 2, an adjustment mechanism 3 and a wiring harness body 4.

[0029] The adjustment mechanism 3 is electrically connected to the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 through the harness body 4. The harness body 4 is composed of multiple insulated wires. The specifications and lengths of the wires are determined according to the connection relationship between the male plug 1, the female plug 2 and the adjustment mechanism 3.

[0030] The adjustment mechanism 3 includes an upper shell 5 and a lower shell 6 fixedly connected to the upper shell 5 by bolts. The upper shell 5 is rotatably connected to a plurality of evenly distributed knobs 7, the knobs 7 are made of insulating material, a conductive ring 8 is rotatably connected to the knob 7, the conductive ring 8 is made of metal material with good conductive properties, the conductive ring 8 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 5, and the male plug 1 is fixedly connected to the plurality of conductive rings 8 through the wiring harness body 4.

[0031] The knob 7 is provided with a mounting groove 9, in which a contact ring 10 is installed. The contact ring 10 is made of phosphor bronze, a conductive material with good elasticity. A fixing seat 11 is fixedly provided on the lower shell 6. The knob 7 is rotatably connected to the fixing seat 11. The fixing seat 11 is provided with a plurality of contacts 12 distributed in a circular array, one of which is in contact with the contact ring 10. The fixing seat 11 is made of insulating material, and mounting holes for the contacts 12 distributed in a circular array are processed on the fixing seat 11. The contacts 12 are made of metal conductive material, such as gold-plated copper contacts. The contacts 12 are installed in the holes of the fixing seat 11 and are firmly fixed by welding or riveting. The number of contacts 12 on each fixing seat 11 is determined according to the actual circuit design requirements.

[0032] The contact ring 10 is arranged to be in contact with the conductive ring 8, and different contacts 12 on each fixing seat 11 are connected in series with different contacts 12 on other fixing seats 11 through wires. The contact ring 10 is installed in the installation groove 9 of the knob 7, so that the contact ring 10 can always maintain a good contact state with the conductive ring 8 when the knob 7 rotates, thereby ensuring stable transmission of current.

[0033] The female plug 2 is fixedly connected to different contacts 12 on each fixing seat 11 through the wiring harness body 4 .

[0034] The male plug 1 is connected to each conductive ring 8 by welding or crimping through the harness body 4. Similarly, the female plug 2 is connected to different contacts 12 on each fixing seat 11 through the harness body 4 to ensure a firm connection and good conductivity.

[0035] A limit assembly 13 is provided below each contact 12, the knob 7 is provided with limit holes 14 having the same number as the contacts 12, a groove 15 is provided on the fixing seat 11, a spring 16 is placed in the groove 15, and one end of the spring 16 is connected to a limit ball 17. The spring 16 is provided with a suitable elastic coefficient, which can ensure that the limit ball 17 can be inserted into the limit hole 14 of the knob 7 under normal conditions to play a limit role, and when the knob 7 needs to be rotated, the limit ball 17 compresses the spring 16 to disengage from the limit hole 14 by applying a certain external force, so as to facilitate the rotation of the knob 7.

[0036] The fixing base 11 with the contacts 12 and the limit assembly 13 installed is installed on the lower shell 6, and screw fixing or slot clamping is adopted to ensure that the fixing base 11 is firmly connected to the lower shell 6 and the position is accurate.

[0037] The upper housing 5 assembled with the conductive ring 8, the contact ring 10 and the knob 7 is butted against the lower housing 6, and the upper housing 5 and the lower housing 6 are fixedly connected by bolts. During the fixing process, care should be taken to ensure that the knob 7 and the fixing seat 11 are smoothly connected in rotation, and that the contact ring 10 on each knob 7 can normally contact with the contact point 12 on the corresponding fixing seat 11.

[0038] The assembled adjustment mechanism 3 is comprehensively inspected, including whether the connection between the shells is tight and not loose, whether the knob 7 rotates flexibly, whether the contact 12 and the contact ring 10 and the conductive ring 8 are in good contact, whether the connection between the wiring harness body 4 and each plug and the adjustment mechanism 3 is firm, etc.

[0039] When using the adjustable electronic wiring harness, the corresponding knob 7 is rotated according to the circuit requirements of the electronic device.

[0040] When the knob 7 rotates, the contact ring 10 rotates with the knob 7. Due to the action of the limit assembly 13, the knob 7 stops rotating at a specific angle. At this time, the contact ring 10 contacts the specific contact 12 on the fixing seat 11, thereby changing the connection path of the circuit.

[0041] For example, in an electronic device that needs to switch the power supply of different functional modules, the circuit connection between the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 can be switched to the corresponding functional module circuit by rotating the knob 7 to enable or disable the functional module.

[0042] Since the contacts 12 on each fixing seat 11 are connected in series with the contacts 12 on other fixing seats 11 through wires, and the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 are respectively connected to the conductive ring 8 and the contacts 12 on the fixing seat 11, complex and diverse circuit connection combinations can be achieved by rotating different combinations of multiple knobs 7 to meet the circuit requirements of electronic equipment under different working conditions.

[0043] For example, in an automation device with multiple sensors and actuators, the signal transmission path and power supply relationship between the sensor and the actuator can be changed by adjusting the knob 7 of the electronic harness, thereby realizing different control logics and working mode switching of the device.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
