[0020] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] The utility model provides a wiring harness, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, a high-voltage wire harness in an embodiment includes a wire harness body 11 and an adapter 12. The wire harness body 11 includes a first wire harness 111 and a second wire harness 112. The first wire harness 111 is an aluminum wire, and the second wire harness 112 is a copper wire. At least one of the two ends of the first wire harness 111 is connected to the second wire harness 112. The adapter 12 is used to make the line unobstructed and ensure the safe operation of the circuit. The first wire harness 111 and the second wire harness 112 are interconnected through the adapter 12. Both the first wire harness 111 and the second wire harness 112 can be electrically connected to electronic equipment to realize the transmission of power, signals and data, wherein the end of the second wire harness 112 facing away from the first wire harness 111 is electrically connected to the high-voltage vibrator.

[0022] It should be noted that the first wire harness 111 is formed by bundling a plurality of aluminum wires, and the second wire harness 112 is formed by bundling a plurality of copper wires. The high-voltage wire harness in this embodiment is an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) wire harness.

[0023] The high-voltage vibration component in this embodiment specifically refers to electronic equipment such as motors, electronic controls and reducers.

[0024] In this embodiment, the harness body 11 of the high-voltage harness is composed of two sections, a first harness 111 and a second harness 112, which are connected to each other through an adapter 12. One end of the first harness 111 away from the adapter 12 and one end of the second harness 112 away from the adapter 12 are electrically connected to the electronic device respectively. Among them, one end of the second harness 112 away from the adapter 12 is electrically connected to a high-voltage vibrator (such as a motor), which can resist the vibration generated by the high-voltage vibrator to a large extent.

[0025] It can be understood that the wiring harness body 11 can also be composed of three sections, namely, the second wiring harness 112, the first wiring harness 111 and the second wiring harness 112. The first wiring harness 111 and the second wiring harness 112 are connected to each other through the adapter 12. The two second wiring harnesses 112 located at both ends of the first wiring harness 111 can be electrically connected to the high-voltage vibrating component to resist the vibration generated by the high-voltage vibrating component. The material of the middle part of the wiring harness that does not need to be electrically connected to the high-voltage vibrating component is replaced from copper wire to aluminum wire, which reduces the overall weight of the wiring harness body 11 and also reduces the cost.

[0026] In this embodiment, the length of a single copper wire is 0.25 m, and the length of a single aluminum wire is 2.75 m.

[0027] In the high-voltage wire harness of the utility model, by combining the first wire harness 111 whose conductor material is aluminum and the second wire harness 112 whose conductor material is copper into a wire harness body 11, the problem that the high-voltage wire harness using only aluminum wire cannot be applied to the vibration part is solved, which not only retains the high strength of the original copper wire, but also realizes the use of copper instead of aluminum, reduces the overall weight, and reduces the production cost at the same time.

[0028] In this embodiment, the adapter 12 may be an adapter box. The adapter 12 is a key connector, which is designed according to the connected first wire harness 111 and second wire harness 112, and is designed to meet performance technical requirements, including vibration, EMC (electromagnetic shielding) and waterproof requirements.

[0029] When the first wiring harness 111 and the second wiring harness 112 are connected via an adapter box, the main function of the adapter box is to make the line unobstructed and ensure the safe operation of the circuit. Especially when the line is relatively long or the wire tube needs to turn a corner, the adapter box is very practical as a transition tool. For example, in home decoration, the wires will pass through the wire tube, and at this time, a junction box is required between the wire tube and the joint. After the wire tube is connected to the junction box, the wires in the wire tube are connected in the junction box, which not only protects the wires but also realizes the connection of the wires.

[0030] In this embodiment, Figure 3-4 As shown, the high-voltage wiring harness also includes a first connector 13 and a second connector 14, which are fixedly connected to both ends of the wiring harness body 11. The wiring harness body 11 is electrically connected to the electronic device through the first connector 13 and the second connector 14 to achieve transmission of power, signals and data.

[0031] Specifically, the first connector 13 is an IPT (Inductive Power Transfer) connector. The IPT connector can enhance the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) performance and provide a low contact resistance shielding layer. This is very important for high-voltage applications running in electric vehicles, because it can effectively prevent electromagnetic interference and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Secondly, the IPT connector has a sealing level of IP67, IP68 and IP6K9K. This means that they can prevent dust, moisture and other harmful substances from entering the connector, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the connector and the electrical system. Especially in hybrid vehicles or electric vehicles, such a level of protection is particularly important. In addition, IPT connectors can also improve assembly efficiency. Because they adopt a single harness design and have a convenient mounting hole processing process, they can significantly simplify the assembly process and save production time. At the same time, the IPT connector provides flexible wire selection, and 50mm can be selected according to specific application requirements. 2、70mm 2 and 95mm 2 In general, the use of IPT connectors at the ends of high-voltage wire harnesses can improve the performance and reliability of the electrical system, while also improving production efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, the second connector 14 is a sheet connector. Due to the compact design of sheet connectors, they can save space, which is very important for equipment that needs to be installed in a small or narrow space. Secondly, this type of connector provides good electrical performance, which can effectively prevent electromagnetic interference and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. In addition, the sheet connector also has excellent protection performance, which can prevent dust, moisture and other harmful substances from entering the connector, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the connector and the electrical system. At the same time, the use of sheet connectors can also improve assembly efficiency. Because they adopt a modular design and have a convenient installation method, the assembly process can be significantly simplified and production time can be saved. In addition, sheet connectors also have good heat resistance and vibration resistance, which enables them to work stably in various harsh environments. In general, the use of sheet connectors at the end of the high-voltage wiring harness can improve the performance and reliability of the electrical system, while also improving production efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first connecting member 13 is fixedly connected to the first wire harness 111 by ultrasonic welding, and the second connecting member 14 is fixedly connected to the second wire harness 112 by ultrasonic welding.

[0034] In this embodiment, the leftmost end of the harness body 11 (at the first connector 13) is a two-in-one end, namely, PDU (Power Distribution Unit, in this embodiment, a high-voltage distribution box) and DCDC (DC-to-DC converter, in this embodiment, a DC-DC converter); the rightmost end of the harness body 11 (at the second connector 14) is a three-in-one end, namely, a motor, an electronic control, and a reducer. It should be noted that the MCU in this embodiment is an electronic control.

[0035] In this embodiment, the distance between the adapter 12 and the second connector 14 is 0.20m to 0.30m. Those skilled in the art can set the distance to 0.20m, 0.21m, 0.23m, 0.24m, 0.25m, 0.27m, 0.29m, 0.30m, etc. according to actual conditions, and this is not a sole limitation.

[0036] Specifically, the distance between the adapter 12 and the second connecting member 14 in this embodiment is 0.25 m. Placing the adapter 12 at this position can better absorb the vibration energy of the high-voltage vibrating member during the vibration process.

[0037] When the high-voltage wire harness is working, the first wire harness 111 is in a static process, and the second wire harness 112 is in a dynamic process. The second wire harness 112 can be connected to vibration parts such as motors to effectively absorb vibration energy, realizing the application of aluminum wires on high-voltage vibration parts. At the same time, the high-voltage wire harness as a whole can achieve weight reduction and cost reduction.

[0038] In this embodiment, the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the aluminum conductor is 65 mm 2 ~75mm 2 , the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the copper conductor is 45mm 2 ~55mm 2 The technicians in this field can set the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the aluminum wire to 65mm according to the actual situation. 2 、66mm 2 、68mm 2 、69mm 2 , 70mm 2 、71mm 2 、73mm 2 、74mm 2 , 75mm 2 The technicians in this field can set the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the copper wire to 45mm according to the actual situation. 2 、46mm 2 、47mm 2 、49mm 2 , 50mm 2 、52mm 2 、53mm 2 、55mm 2 Etc.; this is not the only limitation.

[0039] It should be noted that the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the aluminum wire mentioned above refers to the radial cross-sectional area of ​​a single aluminum wire, and the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the copper wire refers to the radial cross-sectional area of ​​a single copper wire.

[0040] In this embodiment, the high-voltage wire harness further includes a protective cover, which is disposed on the first wire harness 111 and the second wire harness 112 , and is used to prevent the first wire harness 111 and the second wire harness 112 from mechanical impact and wear.

[0041] In another preferred embodiment, the protective cover can be a braided mesh tube. Most existing protective covers are corrugated tubes. Replacing the corrugated tube with a braided mesh tube can better save layout space.

[0042] In this embodiment, there are two first wire harnesses 111 and two second wire harnesses 112 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the high-voltage wire harness further includes a clamping member 16, which is used to fix the two first wire harnesses 111 or the second wire harnesses 112. The two first wire harnesses 111 are fixed side by side by the clamping member 16, and the two second wire harnesses 112 are fixed side by side by the clamping member 16. The clamping members 16 of different specifications and sizes can be set according to different wire diameters.

[0044] In another preferred embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the high-voltage wiring harness also includes a bracket 17, the bracket 17 is fixedly connected to the vehicle's body floor, and the adapter 12 is fixedly connected to the bracket 17. When the wiring harness body 11 is electrically connected to an electronic component (such as a motor), the motor will generate vibrations during operation, thereby driving the adapter 12 to float up and down, which may cause the adapter 12 to crack and burn. Therefore, by providing a bracket 17 to support the adapter 12, that is, the adapter 12 is fixedly connected to the bracket 17, and at the same time, the bracket 17 is fixedly connected to the vehicle's body floor, it is possible to prevent the electronic components such as motors that have large vibrations during operation from driving the adapter 12 to float up and down, thereby avoiding the risk of cracking and burning.

[0045] Specifically, the bracket 17 includes a first section 171, a second section 172 and a third section 173 connected in sequence. The first section 171 and the third section 173 are parallel to each other. The first section 171 is fixedly connected to the adapter 12, and the third section 173 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body bottom plate. The second section 172 can effectively resist the vibration generated by the high-pressure vibrating part during operation, and plays a role in vibration reduction.

[0046] According to the current-carrying curve, because the conductivity of aluminum alloy is 60% of that of copper alloy, under the condition of meeting the same current-carrying capacity, the high-voltage wire harness is changed from the original 50mm2 copper wire to 70mm2 aluminum wire; the left side is the two-in-one end (PDU and DCDC end), the right side is the three-in-one end (motor, electronic control and reducer end), and a new adapter box is added in the middle. The adapter box is located 0.25m away from the MCU end. The left side of the adapter box is 70mm2 aluminum wire (5.5m long) and the right side is the original 50mm2 copper wire (0.5m long). The adapter box is connected to the copper-aluminum wires at both ends by ultrasonic welding. The PDU-end socket model and the MCU-end socket and plug do not need to be changed, only some clips need to be changed to adapt to the change in wire diameter. At the same time, in order to better save layout space, the corrugated tube is changed to a braided mesh tube, so as to meet the space requirements in terms of layout direction and not interfere with surrounding parts. In addition, in order to prevent the motor vibration from causing the adapter box to float up and down, thereby starting the risk of cracking and heat accumulation, a new bracket is added to support the adapter box and fix it to the bottom plate of the vehicle body.

[0047] In this document, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0049] In this document, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion of elements other than those listed and may also include additional elements not expressly listed.

[0050] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
