[0025] With reference to Figures 1 to 5 In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a wire harness arrangement support applied to the arrangement of multiple-direction wire harnesses in a vehicle, which can solve the problem that the existing wire harness shaping support only supports single-path wire harness fixation and effectively realize the path arrangement of multiple-direction wire harnesses, and is especially suitable for narrow wire harness arrangement space in a vehicle.

[0026] It can be understood that the multiple-direction wire harness includes a main wire harness 101 and a side wire harness 102, wherein the main wire harness 101 can have multiple branch wire harnesses 103.

[0027] In the present embodiment, the wire harness arrangement support includes a main guide structure 201 and a side guide structure 301. The main guide structure 201 is hollow to form a guide cavity 204 for limiting the direction of the main wire harness 101.

In addition, due to the provision of the wire outlet 217 on the side wall of the main guide structure 201, the branch wire harness 103 branched from the main wire harness 101 can extend out of the guide cavity 204 through the wire outlet 217, so as to facilitate the path arrangement of the branch wire harness 103.

[0029] In some embodiments, in combination with the actual direction of the wire harness, the wire outlet 217 is arranged on the groove wall of one of the guide grooves 205, and is communicated with the guide cavity 204 through the guide groove 205.

[0037] In some embodiments, the wire harness arrangement support further comprises a first mounting block 210, a second mounting block 211 and a clamping nail 214.

[0038] In the installation, the clamping nail 214 is directly fixed on the sheet metal of the vehicle, and then the bolts are connected to the corresponding positions of the sheet metal through the waist-shaped hole 213, so as to realize the effective fixation of the wire harness arrangement support and the wire harness. The clamping nail 214 can effectively realize the pre-hanging of the wire harness arrangement support, save the assembly time and reduce the cost.

[0039] In some embodiments, the wire harness arrangement support further comprises a connector 215 which is detachably connected to the first mounting block 210. It can be understood that the connector 215 can realize the transmission function of current or signal. In some embodiments, the connector 215 is provided with a third clamping block, and a third clamping groove is arranged on the first mounting block 210 to cooperate with the third clamping block. The connector 215 is detachably connected to the first mounting block 210 through the clamping action of the third clamping block and the third clamping groove, and the connection process is quick and simple.

[0040] In some embodiments, the rear wall of the main guide structure 201 is provided with a plurality of pairs of strap holes 216 which are in communication with the guide cavities 204.

It can be understood that after the main wire harness 101 is arranged in the guide cavities 204, the strap is used to pass through the strap holes 216 on both sides of the main wire harness 101, and the main wire harness 101 is stably installed in the guide cavities 204 by the strap, so as to avoid the position movement of the main wire harness 101, and the fixation of the main wire harness 101 and the wire harness arrangement support is reliable.

[0041] The above various designs are concentrated in one arrangement scheme, meet the functional high concentration and effectiveness of the structure, are different from the existing support arrangement system, and better solve the problem that multiple walkway wire harnesses cannot be arranged in a narrow space. Meanwhile, the arrangement scheme has horizontal expansion, can be used at the same position of other vehicle models, and solves the wire harness arrangement problem of other vehicle models. In a second aspect, the embodiment of the present application also provides a multiple walkway wire harness arrangement method, which arranges multiple walkway wire harnesses by using the wire harness arrangement support according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect. The use of the wire harness arrangement support can reduce the diameter of the wire harness main stem, effectively save space, and be applied to different vehicle models. In the embodiment, the multiple walkway wire harness arrangement method includes steps S100, S200, S300, and S400, which are described with reference to Figure 6 .

[0042] In step S100, the layout of the main wire harness 101 and the side wire harness 102 is determined, and the wire harness arrangement support is made according to the layout. It can be understood that the layout of the wire harness is determined according to the actual wiring space of the vehicle, and the wire harness arrangement support is made according to the layout. The guide angle and the size of the guide groove 205 of the wire harness arrangement support are combined with the arrangement space and the wire bending radius to set the subsequent installation of the wire harness, so that the wire harness can be arranged according to the predetermined layout.

[0043] In step S200, the main wire harness 101 is fixed to the guide cavity 204, so that the two ends of the main wire harness 101 extend along the guide groove 205, and the branch wire harness 103 extends out through the wire outlet 217.
