DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3, a wiring harness installation structure provided by the utility model is now described. A wiring harness installation structure includes an electric strut connector and a mounting sleeve 300. The electric strut connector includes a male terminal 100 and a female terminal 200 connected in sequence, the female terminal 200 is used to connect the electric strut wiring harness 400, and the male terminal 100 is used to connect the cockpit wiring harness 500. The mounting sleeve 300 is sleeved on the outside of the female terminal 200, and the male terminal 100 is located at one end of the mounting sleeve 300 close to the cockpit, and the mounting sleeve 300 is plug-fitted with the wiring harness through hole 610 of the side panel metal 600.

[0027] The utility model provides a wiring harness installation structure. Compared with the prior art, the male terminal 100 and the female terminal 200 of the electric strut connector are connected in sequence, and the electric strut connector and the mounting sleeve 300 form an integrated structure, wherein the female terminal 200 is located inside the mounting sleeve 300 and is connected to the electric strut wiring harness 400, the male terminal 100 is located at the end of the mounting sleeve 300 and is connected to the cockpit wiring harness 500 through a plug-in cockpit connector 700, the mounting sleeve 300 is inserted into the wiring harness through hole 610 of the side panel sheet metal 600 from the side of the luggage compartment, and the mounting sleeve 300 is plug-fitted with the wiring harness through hole 610. When the electric strut needs to be repaired, grasp the end of the mounting sleeve 300 located in the trunk room with your hand, and pull the mounting sleeve 300 out of the wiring harness through hole 610 toward the side of the trunk room. The electric strut wiring harness 400 and the cockpit wiring harness 500 at both ends of the mounting sleeve 300 remain connected. At this time, the plug-in electric strut connector and the cockpit connector 700 can be manually unplugged on one side of the trunk room. There is no need to remove other structural parts such as the trunk cover, left and right trunk trim panels, left and right C-pillar upper trim panels, and ceiling trim panels. The operation is simple and the maintenance cost is reduced.

[0028] The end of the mounting sleeve 300 close to the luggage compartment is provided with a limiter, which is used to limit the depth of the mounting sleeve 300 inserted into the harness through hole 610. During the process of inserting the mounting sleeve 300 from the luggage compartment into the harness through hole 610, the depth of the mounting sleeve 300 inserted into the harness through hole 610 gradually increases until the limiter blocks the side of the harness through hole 610 close to the luggage compartment, thereby blocking the mounting sleeve 300 from being further inserted, so that the mounting sleeve 300 remains stable in this state.

[0029] Specifically, the limiting portion includes a limiting cone 310 disposed at one end of the mounting sleeve 300 close to the luggage compartment, and the limiting cone 310 is integrally formed with the mounting sleeve 300. The outer diameter of the limiting cone 310 increases from the direction close to the luggage compartment to the direction away from the luggage compartment, and a limiting retaining ring 311 is formed at the end of the limiting cone 310 away from the luggage compartment, and the outer diameter of the limiting retaining ring 311 is greater than the outer diameter of the mounting sleeve 300, which can prevent the mounting sleeve 300 from further inserting into the wiring harness through hole 610.

[0030] Among them, the limit retaining ring 311 is inclined from the outside to the inside toward the side of the luggage compartment, so that an inclined surface is formed in the circumferential direction of the limit retaining ring 311, and the installation sleeve 300 is inserted into the wiring harness via 610. The limit retaining ring 311 of the limiting cone 310 is against the end surface of the wiring harness via 610 close to the luggage compartment. The inclined surface will be deformed due to extrusion, thereby improving the sealing effect of the wiring harness via 610, so as to achieve the effects of waterproofing, dustproofing and preventing abnormal noise.

[0031] The end of the mounting sleeve 300 close to the cabin is provided with a guide portion, which is used to guide the mounting sleeve 300 to be inserted into the harness through hole 610. When the mounting sleeve 300 is inserted from the luggage compartment into the harness through hole 610, the guide portion is located at the insertion end of the mounting sleeve 300, which can guide the mounting sleeve 300 to be inserted into the harness through hole 610, so as to make the operation more convenient.

[0032] Specifically, the guide portion includes a guide cone 320 disposed at one end of the installation sleeve 300 close to the cockpit, and the guide cone 320 is integrally formed with the installation sleeve 300. The outer diameter of the guide cone 320 increases from close to the cockpit to away from the cockpit, and the guide cone 320 can be inserted into the harness through hole 610 before the installation sleeve 300. Since the outer diameter of the guide cone 320 close to the cockpit is smaller than the inner diameter of the harness through hole 610, it is more convenient for the installation sleeve 300 to be smoothly inserted into the harness through hole 610. In order to improve the sealing effect, the outer diameter of the installation sleeve 300 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the harness through hole 610, and the elasticity of the installation sleeve 300 itself is used to form an interference fit relationship between the two.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 A limiting ring 330 is integrally formed at one end of the mounting sleeve 300 close to the guide cone 320, and a clamping gap is formed between the limiting ring 330 and the limiting retaining ring 311 of the limiting cone 310. When the mounting sleeve 300 passes through the wiring harness through hole 610, the limiting ring 330 and the limiting retaining ring 311 of the limiting cone 310 use the above-mentioned clamping gap to clamp together on both sides of the wiring harness through hole 610, thereby maintaining the stability of the mounting sleeve 300.

[0034] The limiting ring 330 is integrally formed with the installation sleeve 300, and the width of the clamping gap between the limiting ring 330 and the limiting retaining ring 311 remains unchanged, which can be applied to the thickness of conventional sheet metal. At this time, the limiting ring 330 is a conical ring elastic structure, and its outer diameter decreases from the direction close to the luggage compartment to the direction away from the luggage compartment. In the process of using the installation sleeve 300 to pass through the wiring harness through hole 610, the limiting ring 330 of the conical ring elastic structure is squeezed and gradually deformed by the wiring harness through hole 610, until the limiting ring 330 completely passes through the wiring harness through hole 610, and then the limiting ring 330 is restored, so that the limiting retaining ring 311 of the limiting cone 310 is clamped on both sides of the wiring harness through hole 610, so that the installation sleeve 300 remains stable.

[0035] In another embodiment, see Figure 3 The outer wall of the mounting sleeve 300 is integrally formed with a plurality of elastic claws 340 in the circumferential direction. The elastic claws 340 are inclined outward from the direction away from the luggage compartment to the direction close to the luggage compartment. The end of the elastic claw 340 away from the luggage compartment is integrally formed on the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 300. The end of the elastic claw 340 close to the luggage compartment is a free end, and its end is an arc structure. In the process of using the mounting sleeve 300 to pass through the harness through hole 610, when the plurality of elastic claws 340 pass through the harness through hole 610, the plurality of elastic claws 340 are squeezed by the harness through hole 610, and the free ends thereof are retracted inward until the plurality of elastic claws 340 completely pass through the harness through hole 610, and the plurality of elastic claws 340 are restored. Afterwards, the free ends of the plurality of elastic claws 340 are supported on the end surface of the sheet metal away from the luggage compartment, so as to cooperate with the limiting retaining ring 311 of the limiting cone 310 to be clamped on both sides of the harness through hole 610, so that the mounting sleeve 300 remains stable. The width of the clamping gap between the free ends of the plurality of elastic claws 340 and the limit retaining ring 311 is variable, and can be applied to sheet metals of different thicknesses.

[0036] Preferably, the cross-section of the mounting sleeve 300 is oblong, elliptical or polygonal, and the wiring harness via 610 is also designed to be a shape that matches the cross-section of the mounting sleeve 300. When the mounting sleeve 300 is inserted into the wiring harness via 610, the mounting sleeve 300 will not rotate relative to the wiring harness via 610, thereby avoiding twisting of the wiring harness.

[0037] Preferably, the mounting sleeve 300 is made of polycarbonate material, which has good wear resistance and temperature resistance, and also has functions such as waterproof, dustproof, and anti-abnormal noise.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2The utility model also provides a wiring harness module, including the above-mentioned wiring harness installation structure, the electric strut wiring harness 400 and the cockpit wiring harness 500, the electric strut wiring harness 400 is connected to the female terminal 200, the cockpit wiring harness 500 is connected to the male terminal 100, and the cockpit wiring harness 500 is a shape memory material. Specifically, the insulation skin of the cockpit wiring harness 500 adopts shape memory polymer material. Shape memory polymer material is a kind of polymer material obtained by molecular combination and modification of general polymer materials using modern polymer physics theory and polymer synthesis and modification technology, such as polyethylene, polyisoprene, polyester, copolyester, polyamide, copolyamide, polyurethane and other polymer materials. Molecular design and molecular structure adjustment are carried out to give them a certain shape (initial state) under certain conditions. When the external conditions change, it can change the shape accordingly and fix it (deformation). If the external environment changes again in a specific way and law, they can reversibly recover to the initial state. After the installation sleeve 300 is installed, the cockpit wiring harness 500 returns to its original shape by virtue of its shape memory property, and is staggered with the sheet metal layout position, thereby improving the reliability and maintainability of the product.

[0039] In addition, the utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned wiring harness module.

[0040] 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 should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
