Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted electronic accessories, and more particularly to a bracket for vehicle-mounted electronic accessories. The present application also relates to a pump. Background Art

[0002] Accessories, such as electronic accessories, are arranged in the engine compartment of the vehicle. Electronic accessories are mounted on other brackets, such as metal brackets of the vehicle to reduce vibration. The vehicle does not provide dedicated fixing points for the wiring harness of electronic accessories. Generally, during the installation of electronic accessories, a possible location is found for fixing the wiring harness based on the actual situation in the vehicle. When the space in the engine compartment is limited, the fixing point is difficult to determine, which increases the difficulty of fixing the wiring harness. An alternative method is to use other existing fixing points, that is, to combine the wiring harness of the electronic accessory with other wiring harnesses and then fix them. However, the working conditions of the vehicle are numerous and complex, and the wiring harness faces the risk of being detached from the fixing point or being pulled at an inappropriate fixing point. Utility Model Content

[0003] One aspect of the present application is to provide a bracket for vehicle-mounted electronic accessories, wherein the bracket provides a fixing point for a wiring harness of the electronic accessories.

[0004] The present application relates to a bracket for vehicle-mounted electronic accessories, comprising: a seat having a first space for holding the accessory; and a clip attached to the seat, the clip having a clamp opening and a second space for fixing a wiring harness of the electronic accessory, the clamp opening being configured to communicate with the second space and the wiring harness entering the second space via the clamp opening.

[0005] In an embodiment of the bracket, the clamping opening is defined by a pair of clamping arms having opposite curved surfaces and a spacing between the curved surfaces gradually decreases toward the second space to guide the wire harness through the clamping opening.

[0006] In one embodiment of the bracket, the clip is made of elastic material so that the clamp opening can expand when the wiring harness passes through the clamp opening; and / or the clip is integrated with the seat so that the clip provides the first fixing point for the wiring harness after leaving the electronic accessory.

[0014] The present application provides a solution for conveniently fixing the wiring harness of electronic accessories. The bracket fixes both the electronic accessory and its wiring harness, which not only provides a dedicated fixing point for the wiring harness, but also reduces the risk of the wiring harness breaking away and being torn off by the electronic accessory when the electronic accessory vibrates under complex working conditions. The present application facilitates the positioning of the wiring harness by additionally providing a clip on the bracket and further providing a fixing method for the wiring harness.

[0015] The clip is integrated with the seat, thus facilitating the clip molding. The clip is also made of elastic material to generate appropriate deformation during positioning and fixing of the wire harness.

[0016] Overall, the bracket has an inclined side in shape to provide a stable structure to resist vibration of the electronic accessories. A groove for reducing weight is provided at the bottom of the bracket. The bracket is connected to other brackets at the bottom through a connector, and the sleeve can prevent the connector from being disconnected.

[0017] The electronic accessory may be an electronic pump, the structure of which is optimized and the mechanical performance is improved.

[0018] Other aspects and features of the present application will become apparent from the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the drawings are designed for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application, as reference should be made to the appended claims. It should also be understood that the drawings are intended only to conceptually illustrate the structures and processes described herein and, unless otherwise indicated, are not necessarily drawn to scale. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The present application will be more fully understood by referring to the following detailed description of specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals in the drawings always refer to the same elements in the drawings.

[0020] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of a bracket for vehicle-mounted electronic accessories involved in the present application; and

[0021] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic cross-section of the bracket. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to help those skilled in the art to accurately understand the subject matter for which protection is sought in the present application, the specific implementation of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a bracket for vehicle-mounted electronic accessories involved in the present application. The bracket 10 includes a seat 12 and a clip 14. The clip 14 is attached to the seat 12. The seat 12 has a first space 16 to hold an electronic accessory not shown. The electronic accessory is, for example, an electronic pump used in a cooling circuit. The clip 14 has a second space 20 to fix the wiring harness of the electronic accessory. The clip 14 also has a clamping opening 18, which is connected to the second space 20. The wiring harness enters the second space 20 via the clamping opening 18.

[0024] The jaws 18 are defined by a pair of jaws 22, 24. Figure 2 As shown, the clamp arms 22 , 24 face each other and each have a curved surface 28 , 30 , and the distance between the two curved surfaces 28 , 30 gradually decreases toward the second space 20 , which is beneficial for guiding the wire harness to smoothly enter the second space 20 .

[0025] The clamp 14 and the seat 12 are integrally formed, and the clamp 14 provides the first fixing point after the wire harness leaves the electronic accessory. The clamp 14 and the seat 12 are made of elastic material, such as rubber. When the wire harness passes through the clamp opening, the clamp arms 22, 24 can be slightly expanded, and when the wire harness completely passes through the clamp opening, the clamp arms 22, 24 are restored, thereby providing a good installation feel for the wire harness.

[0026] The first space 16 and the second space 20 are holes respectively. The first space 16 is used for the housing of the electronic pump, and the second space 20 is used for the wiring harness. The size of the hole of the second space 20 is designed to be interference fit with the wiring harness.

[0027] Continue to see Figure 1The bracket 10 has an arched bracket body 34, a block bottom 36, and inclined side portions 38, 40 between the arched surface 32 of the bracket body and the block bottom 36. The shape of the inclined side portions 38, 40 is designed to gradually increase toward the block bottom 36. In terms of thickness, the thickness of the block bottom 36 is greater than that of the arched bracket body 34. The thickness of the clip 14 is consistent with the thickness of the arched bracket body 34, and it is arranged along the arched surface 32 and arranged radially outside the arched surface 32. The position of the clip 14 does not occupy the structure of the bracket body 34, so it does not affect the mechanical properties and strength of the bracket body 34.

[0028] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross section of the bracket in FIG. The block bottom 36 of the bracket 10 has a joint surface 35 for connecting with another bracket 54. The other bracket 54 is, for example, a bracket made of metal material in a vehicle. The joint surface 35 is provided with a groove 37 formed toward the inside of the block bottom 36 to appropriately reduce the weight of the bracket.

[0029] The two inclined side portions 38, 40 each have a connection hole 41 that passes through the block bottom 36. The connection member 47 is connected to the other bracket 54 at the block bottom 36. The connection member 47 is, for example, a screw. The side portions 38, 40 are inclined and enlarged toward the block bottom 36. Such a structure is conducive to the connection of the electronic accessory bracket with other brackets at the bottom. When the connection member 47 is connected to the other bracket 54 below the electronic accessory bracket, the force generated by the side portions 38, 40 is downward. Under complex working conditions, especially when vibration occurs, the downward force helps the electronic accessory bracket to press against other brackets.

[0030] The connection hole 41 is provided with a step section 43 at the block bottom 36. A sleeve 48 is further provided between the connection member 47 and the connection hole 41. The sleeve 48 is made of a metal material and has a flange 50. The flange 50 abuts against the step surface 44 of the connection hole 41, and the end of the connection member 47 is pressed against the flange 50 and then threadedly connected with another bracket 54, thereby fixing the bracket. The provision of the sleeve 48 helps to transmit the pressing force of the connection member 47 at the flange 50, and such a design prevents the connection member 47 from escaping from the connection hole 41.

[0031] The present application also relates to a pump having a bracket, wherein the housing of the pump is held in a first space 16 of a seat 12 of the bracket, and a wiring harness of the pump is fixed in a second space 20 of a clip 14. The pump is connected to other brackets in the vehicle through the bottom of the bracket, thereby being installed in place.

[0032] Although specific embodiments of the present application have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the principles of the present application, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in other ways without departing from such principles.
