[0026] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment", "in another embodiment", "in yet another embodiment" or "in other embodiments", all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present invention.

[0027] The utility model provides a wire protection box structure, comprising a wire protection box body 1 and a water retaining cover 2, wherein the wire protection box body 1 is used to be connected to a connector, and the water retaining cover 2 is connected to the top of the wire protection box body 1 and covers the wire protection box body 1 vertically.

[0028] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wire protection box body 1 can adopt any wire protection box structure design, as long as it can be connected to the connector of the relevant functional wire harness on the car to achieve the protection function of the wire harness. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the wire protection box body 1 is not limited; the water retaining cover 2 is integrally connected to the top of the wire protection box body 1 (the Z axis in the figure represents the vertical direction, and the top of the wire protection box body 1 is the end of the wire protection box body 1 along the positive direction of Z in the figure, that is, the end facing the upper direction of the vehicle), and the water retaining cover 2 covers the wire protection box body 1 in the Z direction in the figure.

[0029] The water retaining cover 2 covers the wire protection box body 1 in the vertical direction, that is, the vertical projection of the wire protection box body 1 is located within the edge of the vertical projection of the water retaining cover 2. Figure 2 It can be seen that the vertical projection of the edge of the water retaining cover 2 located on the positive side of the X-axis in the figure is more inclined to the outside of the wire protection box body 1 than the vertical projection of the edge of the wire protection box body 1. Figure 3 It can be seen that the vertical projection of the edge of the water retaining cover 2 located on the positive side of the Y axis in the figure coincides with the vertical projection of the edge of the wire protection box body 1.

[0030] The wire protection box structure of the utility model has a wire protection box body 1 connected to a connector, thereby realizing a protection function for a wire harness used for relevant functions on a car. A water retaining cover 2 is connected to the top of the wire protection box body 1 and covers the wire protection box body 1 vertically, so that when, for example, a user sprays water to clean a windshield and causes water to flow onto the top of the wire protection box structure, the water retaining cover 2 prevents water from contacting the wire protection box body 1 below, thereby improving the protection performance of the wire protection box structure for the wire harness, preventing water from rusting and damaging the connector and wire harness terminals on the wire protection box body 1, and ensuring the service life of the wire harness connected to the wire protection box body 1. Ensure the smooth realization of relevant functions of the whole vehicle; compared with the solution of using a separate water leakage box installed above the wire protection box structure, the water retaining cover 2 of this solution is connected to the wire protection box body 1, and there is no need to develop a separate mold. The water retaining cover 2 and the wire protection box body 1 can be produced and manufactured with one mold, saving production costs and improving production efficiency; in addition, since the water retaining cover 2 is located at the top of the wire protection box body 1, compared with the water leakage box solution, the water retaining cover 2 of this solution is closer to the wire protection box body 1, so it can be designed to be smaller, as long as it can cover the wire protection box body 1 vertically, thereby reducing the occupied space.

[0031] Furthermore, the wire protection box body 1 includes a dangerous side 11 and a safe side 12, and a wire protection through hole 13 is provided on the wire protection box body 1 to connect the dangerous side 11 and the safe side 12, and the wire protection through hole 13 is used to accommodate the connector, and the end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the safe side 12 is arranged lower than the end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the dangerous side 11.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wire protection box body 1 is located on the positive side of the X-axis in the figure as the safe side 12, and is located on the negative side of the X-axis in the figure as the dangerous side 11. The wire protection through hole 13 connects the dangerous side 11 and the safe side 12. The wire harness to be connected can be inserted into the wire protection through hole 13 from the safe side 12 and the dangerous side 11 respectively for connection. The wire protection through hole 13 is as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, there can be multiple, and the safe side 12 and the dangerous side 11 of the wire protection box body 1 need to be determined according to the actual distribution of the wire harness. Figure 2The paths of multiple wiring harnesses are shown in the figure. It can be seen that the wiring harness on the safe side 12 extends from the wire protection box body 1 in the opposite direction of the Z axis (i.e., the direction below the vehicle), while the wiring harness on the dangerous side 11 extends from the wire protection box body 1 in the positive direction of the Z axis (i.e., the direction above the vehicle). Because the risk of water ingress to the wire protection box structure mainly comes from the upper direction, the wiring harness on the dangerous side 11 extends upward from the wire protection box body 1, and there is a risk that water will be diverted to the wire protection through hole 13 by the wiring harness on the dangerous side 11. The end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the safe side 12 is set lower than the end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the dangerous side 11, so that after the water flows to the water retaining cover 2 and is blocked, it will flow out from the lower end, that is, it will stay from the safe side 12, and will not directly contact the connectors and terminals and other components in the wire protection through hole 13, nor will it flow to the wire protection through hole 13 along the wiring harness, thereby preventing the connectors, terminals and other components from being corroded by water, and ensuring the service life of the wiring harness connected to the wire protection box body 1.

[0033] Furthermore, a blocking structure 21 is provided at an edge of one end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the dangerous side 11 .

[0034] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a blocking structure 21 is provided at the edge of one end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the dangerous side 11. The blocking structure 21 in this embodiment is similar to a flange structure, so that the end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the dangerous side 11 is surrounded by the blocking structure 21, and its specific size can be designed according to actual needs.

[0035] In this way, after water flows onto the water retaining cover 2, it can be better ensured that water will not flow out from the end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the dangerous side 11, thereby preventing water from flowing along the wire harness on the dangerous side 11 into the wire protection through hole 13 to affect the service life of the wire harness.

[0036] Furthermore, one end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the safety side 12 is connected to the wire protection box body 1 through a connecting plate 22 .

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one end of the water retaining cover 2 close to the safety side 12 is connected to the wire protection box body 1 through a connecting plate 22. In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the connecting plate 22 are respectively integrally connected to the water retaining cover 2 and the wire protection box body 1.

[0038] Furthermore, a shield 23 is provided on the surface of the connecting plate 22 facing the safety side 12 .

[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a retaining eave 23 extending toward the outside of the wire protection box body 1 is provided on the surface of the connecting plate 22 facing the safety side 12. The specific size of the retaining eave 23 can be designed according to demand. When water flows out from the water retaining cover 2 in the reverse direction along the X-axis, the retaining eave 23 can also play a certain blocking role, preventing water from falling on the wire harness on the safety side 12 and splashing onto the wire protection through hole 13, further improving the protection performance of the wire harness and extending the service life of the wire harness.

[0040] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib 24 is provided between the eaves 23 and the connecting plate 22 .

[0041] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the reinforcing ribs 24 can form a reinforcement between the retaining eaves 23 and the connecting plate 22, thereby reinforcing the water retaining cover 2 to a certain extent and ensuring the stability of the connection between the water retaining cover 2 and the wire protection box body 1.

[0042] Furthermore, a mounting plate 25 is connected between the water retaining cover 2 and the wire protection box body 1, and the mounting plate 25 is used for being mounted on a vehicle body.

[0043] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 25 are integrally connected to the water retaining cover 2 and the wire protection box body 1. In this embodiment, a mounting hole is provided on the mounting plate 25, and the mounting plate 25 can be mounted to the vehicle body by fasteners.

[0044] Furthermore, the wire protection box body 1 is also connected to a first clamping member 14, and the first clamping member 14 is used for clamping to the vehicle body.

[0045] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping member 14 is a buckle structure, one end of which is clamped on the wire protection box body 1, and the other end can be clamped and fixed with a structure such as a slot provided on the vehicle body, thereby connecting and fixing the wire protection box structure to the vehicle body.

[0046] Furthermore, a second clamping member 15 is provided on the inner wall of the wire protection through hole 13, and the second clamping member 15 is used for clamping with the connector.

[0047] Combination Figure 3 As shown, a second clamping member 15 is provided on the inner wall of the wire protection through hole 13, and a clamping groove and other structures are provided on the outer surface of the connector. After the connector is inserted into the wire protection through hole 13, the second clamping member 15 is clamped and fixed with the clamping groove, thereby forming a protective function for the wiring harness.

[0048] The utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising the wire protection box structure.

[0049] The vehicle of the utility model adopts the above-mentioned wire protection box structure, and its wire protection box body 1 is connected to the connector, so as to realize the protection function of the wire harness used by the relevant functions on the car, and the water retaining cover 2 is connected to the top of the wire protection box body 1, and covers the wire protection box body 1 vertically, so that when the user sprays water to clean the windshield and causes water to flow to the top of the wire protection box structure, the water retaining cover 2 prevents the water from contacting the wire protection box body 1 below, thereby improving the protection performance of the wire protection box structure for the wire harness, avoiding water rust and damaging the connector and wire harness terminals on the wire protection box body 1, and ensuring the use of the wire harness connected to the wire protection box body 1 The service life of the vehicle can be extended to ensure the smooth realization of relevant functions of the whole vehicle; compared with the solution of using a separate water leakage box to be installed above the wire protection box structure, the water retaining cover 2 of this solution is connected to the wire protection box body 1, and there is no need to develop a separate mold. The production of the water retaining cover 2 and the wire protection box body 1 can be completed by one mold, saving production costs and improving production efficiency; in addition, since the water retaining cover 2 is located at the top of the wire protection box body 1, compared with the water leakage box solution, the water retaining cover 2 of this solution is closer to the wire protection box body 1, so it can be designed to be smaller, as long as it can cover the wire protection box body 1 vertically, thereby reducing the occupied space.
