[0024] In related technologies, the gap between the right rear seat and the vehicle side panel is too small to accommodate the main body wiring harness, requiring it to pass through the area between the seat frame and the vehicle floor. Since the seat is adjustable, when adjusted to its lowest point, the gap between the seat frame and the vehicle floor approaches its limit, further compressing the space between them. Simultaneously, because the main body wiring harness is circular with a large number of loops, interference occurs between the main body wiring harness and the lower edge of the seat frame.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The following are several embodiments of a novel shaped bracket, a wiring harness arrangement method, and a vehicle according to the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the novel shaped bracket 400 of this embodiment is located between the seat frame and the vehicle floor. Specifically, the novel shaped bracket 400 is connected to the vehicle floor, allowing the vehicle wiring harness to be laid between the seat frame and the vehicle floor. The structure is simple and easy to operate. The novel shaped bracket 400 includes a bracket body 500, which is designed according to the wiring harness's routing and arrangement requirements and the shape of the vehicle floor sheet metal structure, ensuring that the novel shaped bracket 400 encloses the wiring harness and improves the overall aesthetics of the wiring harness routing.

[0027] It is understandable that the wire harness includes the wire harness backbone 910 and the wire harness branches 920, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0028] It is understandable that the bracket body 500 has a recessed and convex groove for the main cable 510, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main cable tray is used to load the main cable harness 910. Specifically, the main cable harness 910 is laid in the main cable tray 510 with a flat cable harness, so that the upper end of the main cable harness 910 is not higher than the upper edge of the bracket body 500, so as to avoid interference between the main cable harness 910 and adjacent vehicle components, which would cause wear to the main cable harness 910.

[0029] It is understandable that the support body 500 has a branch cable outlet structure 600 along its edge, and the branch cable outlet structure 600 forms a branch cable outlet groove 610, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the branch cable outlet 610 is connected to the main cable outlet 510, and the branch cable outlet 610 is used to load the cable harness branch 920. Specifically, the cable harness branch 920 is a cable harness split from the main cable harness 910. The cable harness branch 920 outputs a new type of shaped bracket 400 from the branch cable outlet 610. The cable harness branch 920 is used to connect to nearby electrical equipment to realize the power supply and circuit control of the electrical equipment.

[0030] Understandably, the wiring harness branch 920 is split from the wiring harness trunk 910 to reduce the thickness of the wiring harness trunk 910 and further avoid interference with the wiring harness trunk 910 when the seat moves down.

[0031] With this configuration, the main body wiring harness 910 can be fixed between the seat frame and the vehicle floor by the new plastic bracket 400. The new plastic bracket 400 is sturdy and reliable, ensuring good overall passability of the main body wiring harness 910. The wiring harness is not exposed in the area covered by the bracket body 500, and the height of the main body wiring harness 910 in the vertical direction is compressed to ensure that the main body wiring harness 910 does not interfere with the lowered seat. This makes the new plastic bracket 400 easy to install and simple in structure.

[0032] Understandably, the branch cable outlet structure 600 is located on the side of the bracket body 500 facing the electrical equipment, so that the branch cable outlet structure 600 is close to the corresponding electrical equipment, enabling the split wire harness branch 920 to be quickly connected to the electrical equipment. The connection distance between the two is short, saving the laying cost of the wire harness branch 920.

[0033] It is understandable that the number of branch outgoing line structures 600 can be one or more, and the specific number of branch outgoing line structures 600 is set according to the number of electrical equipment required.

[0034] In this embodiment, two branch cable outlet structures 600 are provided and located on the same side of the support body 500. Specifically, the two branch cable outlet structures 600 are located between the two ends of the main cable trench 510.

[0035] It is understandable that both the main cable tray 510 and the branch cable tray 610 have their openings facing upwards, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main wire harness 910 and the branch wire harness 920 can be laid inside the bracket body 500 through the opening.

[0036] It is understandable that the edge of the support body 500 is provided with a connecting part 700, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. Specifically, the connecting part 700 is used to connect the sheet metal structure, so that the bracket body 500 is firmly connected to the vehicle floor, ensuring that the main wire harness 910 is stably laid along the main wire groove 510, and the branch wire harness 920 is stably laid along the branch wire outlet groove 610.

[0037] It is understandable that the sheet metal structure is connected with welded studs, and correspondingly, the connecting part 700 is provided with a connecting hole 710, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the connecting part 700 is fitted with a welding stud, which passes through the connecting hole 710. The welding nut is threaded onto the welding stud and screwed downwards to abut against the connecting part 700. This ensures that the connecting part 700 is abutted between the welding nut and the sheet metal structure, thus guaranteeing that the new plastic bracket 400 is connected and fixed to the vehicle floor. This makes installation convenient and operation simple.

[0038] In this embodiment, the welding nut is an M6 nut.

[0039] In this embodiment, three connecting portions 700 are provided. Thus, by utilizing the principle of three points being coplanar, the three connecting portions 700 ensure the flatness of the novel molded bracket 400 on the vehicle floor, preventing the novel molded bracket 400 from tilting. Specifically, two of the connecting portions 700 are located on the side of the bracket body 500 where the branch cable outlet structure 600 is connected. The two connecting portions 700 and the two branch cable outlet structures 600 are staggered along the extension direction of the main cable trench 510, with one connecting portion 700 close to one end of the main cable trench 510. The other connecting portion 700 is located on the other side of the bracket body 500, also close to the other end of the main cable trench 510, ensuring that the three connecting portions 700 are evenly distributed on the bracket body 500, further improving the stability of the novel molded bracket 400.

[0040] It is understandable that two of the connecting holes 710 located on opposite sides of the bracket body 500 are both oblong holes 720, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. Specifically, the welding stud can slide along the elongated hole 720 to adjust the relative position of the new plastic bracket 400 and the vehicle floor, so that the position of the new plastic bracket 400 is more in line with the laying of the main wire harness 910.

[0041] In this embodiment, on one side of the bracket body 500 that connects the two connecting parts 700, the connecting hole 710 near the end of the main wire trough 510 is a positioning circular hole corresponding to the diameter of the welding stud, so that the position adjustment of the new plastic bracket 400 is rotated around the positioning circular hole as the center.

[0042] Understandably, the new orthopedic support 400 also includes a fastener 800, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the fastener 800 is used to fix the wire harness in the main trunk burial groove 510 or the branch branch outlet groove 610, ensuring that the wire harness is firmly and reliably attached to the new plastic bracket 400, which facilitates product transportation, packaging and on-site assembly.

[0043] In some embodiments, one end of the fastener 800 is hinged to the bracket body 500, and the other end of the fastener 800 is snapped into the bracket body 500. The wire harness is confined within the cavity formed by the bracket body 500 and the fastener 800, thereby ensuring that the wire harness is fixed to the bracket body 500 and preventing the wire harness from detaching from the novel molded bracket 400.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fastener 800 is abrasion-resistant tape. Specifically, the abrasion-resistant tape adheres the wire harness to the new shaped bracket 400, ensuring that the main wire harness 910 is laid along the main wire burial groove 510 and that the wire harness branches 920 are laid along the branch outlet groove 610, thus ensuring that the wire harness is fixed and secure to the new shaped bracket 400.

[0045] Understandably, the new shaped bracket 400 includes a bracket body 500, a connecting part 700, and a fixing part 800, which can facilitate assembly, fixation, constraint and protection of the wire harness, and optimize the path of the wire harness in a confined area.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the wire harness arrangement method of this invention is applied to a novel shaped bracket 400. The wire harness arrangement method includes steps S100, S200 and S300.

[0047] Step S100: Lay the main wire harness 910 flat in the main wire trough 510.

[0048] It is understandable that the main wire harness 910 is arranged along the main wire groove 510, and the main wire harness 910 is prevented from extending beyond the upper edge of the bracket body 500.

[0049] Step S200: Separate the wire harness branch 920 from the wire harness trunk 910 and lay it in the branch outlet groove 610.

[0050] Understandably, the wire harness branch 920 separates from the wire harness trunk 910 to reduce the diameter and thickness of the wire harness trunk 910. The wire harness branch 920 can output the bracket body 500 along the branch outlet slot 610 and connect to the nearby electrical equipment to realize the circuit connection and circuit control of the electrical equipment.

[0051] In step S300, the fastener 800 connects the wire harness to the new molded bracket 400. This ensures a stable connection between the wire harness and the new molded bracket 400 and simplifies assembly.

[0052] The vehicle of this invention includes a vehicle body floor, a seat frame, and a novel shaping bracket 400. The novel shaping bracket 400 has a simple structure and is located between the vehicle body floor and the seat frame. The space required for the novel shaping bracket 400 and the wiring harness to be laid in the vertical direction is reduced, thereby reducing the gap between the seat frame and the vehicle body floor.

[0053] Understandably, the vehicle can be a private car, such as a sedan, SUV, MPV, or pickup truck. It can also be a commercial vehicle, such as a van, bus, small truck, or large semi-trailer. The vehicle must have an electric motor capable of outputting power or acting as a generator to store mechanical energy. When the vehicle is a new energy vehicle, it can be a hybrid or a pure electric vehicle.

[0054] Since the vehicle incorporates all the technical solutions of the new shaping bracket 400, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
