Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transportation tools, in particular to a wiring harness connector protective shell and a vehicle thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of vehicle technology, there are more and more wiring harnesses on vehicles, and naturally there are more and more wiring harness connectors. More wiring harness connectors are prone to wear and tear or cross-stack of wiring harnesses during use, which not only easily causes safety problems, but also causes inconvenience in wiring harness maintenance and repair. As the passage of electrical components in the vehicle, the protection of wires is crucial, which requires the protection of wiring harness connectors to prevent wear or scratches after the wiring harness connectors are exposed, causing circuit hazards and thus affecting driving safety.

[0003] Most of the wire harness connector shields in the related art use ordinary shields. For ease of installation, the shields are connected by hinges. However, the hinges are prone to wear and breakage during long-term operation, resulting in failure of the shield's function. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a wiring harness connector protective shell and a vehicle thereof that can stably and reliably protect the wiring harness connector even when the hinge is broken.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A wiring harness connector protective shell comprises: a shell, comprising a first shell and a second shell, wherein the first shell and the second shell are spliced ​​together and can enclose a channel for accommodating the wiring harness connector; a hinge, located on one side of the first shell, and the first shell and the second shell are hingedly connected by the hinge so that the first shell and the second shell can rotate relative to each other; a first snap-fit ​​structure, located on a side of the first shell having the hinge, used to enable a snap-fit ​​connection between the first shell and the second shell; a second snap-fit ​​structure, located on one side of the first shell, used to enable a snap-fit ​​connection between the first shell and the second shell; wherein the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure are located on opposite sides of the shell.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​structure is located at the position where the hinge is located.

[0008] It is understandable that the hinge may break after working for a long time, and the first buckle structure is arranged at the position where the hinge is located so that the first buckle structure can bear part of the force, thereby delaying the hinge from breaking and effectively increasing the working life of the hinge.

[0009] In one of the embodiments, along a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the channel, the first buckle structure at least partially overlaps with the hinge.

[0010] It can be understood that, by at least partially overlapping the first buckle structure with the hinge, the first buckle structure can further be made to withstand the force acting on the hinge, thereby reducing the force acting on the hinge.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first buckle structure includes a first buckle and a first buckle groove, one of the first buckle and the first buckle groove is arranged on the first shell, and the other is arranged on the second shell, and the first buckle can extend into the first buckle groove and be buckled and connected with the first buckle groove.

[0012] In one embodiment, the second buckle structure includes a second buckle and a second buckle groove, one of the second buckle and the second buckle groove is arranged on the first shell, and the other is arranged on the second shell, and the second buckle can extend into the second buckle groove and be buckled and connected with the second buckle groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the channel includes a first half groove and a second half groove, one of the first half groove and the second half groove is opened on the first shell, and the other is opened on the second shell; wherein a plug-in column is provided on the groove wall of the first half groove, and after the first shell and the second shell are spliced ​​together, the plug-in column can be inserted into the second half groove.

[0014] It is understandable that the wiring harness is composed of multiple wires, and it is inevitable that the wires will be misplaced or arranged in a disordered manner during use. The first half groove and the second half groove can restrain, guide and facilitate the arrangement of the wires, and the closed channel can compress the wires so that the arranged wires will not be misplaced. In addition, the arrangement of the plug-in column inserted into the second half groove can make the housing more firmly closed in the closed state. At the same time, the channel formed between the plug-in columns is narrower, which is conducive to the fixation of the wire harness by the channel.

[0015] In one embodiment, a guide surface is provided at one end of the plug-in post away from the first half groove.

[0016] It can be understood that the provision of the guide surface can guide the wiring harness connector when the first shell and the second shell are spliced ​​together, so that the wiring harness connector can be better accommodated in the channel.

[0017] In one of the embodiments, a plurality of spaced-apart snap-in plates are provided on the inner wall of the channel along the extension direction of the channel.

[0018] It is understandable that, through the multiple clamping pieces, after the first shell and the second shell are spliced, the clamping pieces can fix the wire harness, thereby preventing the wire harness from moving, thereby improving the stability of the joint.

[0019] In one embodiment, one of the first shell and the second shell is provided with a plurality of limiting posts, and the other is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves; after the first shell and the second shell are spliced ​​together, the plurality of limiting posts correspond to the plurality of limiting grooves one by one and cooperate in limiting positions.

[0020] It can be understood that by arranging a plurality of limit posts and limit grooves that engage with each other on the first shell and the second shell, the first shell and the second shell are limited after being spliced, and the first shell and the second shell cannot move relative to each other. That is, through the cooperation of the limit posts and the limit grooves, the effects on the joints such as the hinges, the first snap-fit ​​structure, and the second snap-fit ​​structure can be reduced, thereby further improving the overall stability and service life of the wiring harness connector shield.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the wiring harness connector housing and the vehicle thereof are provided with a first buckle structure and a second buckle structure, and the first buckle structure is arranged on one side of the hinge, and the first buckle structure and the second buckle structure are located on opposite sides of the housing. In this way, not only can the hinge be protected by the first buckle structure to increase the service life of the hinge, but also the arrangement of the first buckle structure and the second buckle structure can still keep the first housing and the second housing in a buckled state even when the hinge is broken, thereby protecting the wiring harness connector.

The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a wiring harness connector protective shell 100, which is mainly used for protecting and fixing the wiring harness connector on the vehicle, so that the wiring harness connector is fully protected to avoid wear or scratches on the wiring harness connector after being exposed, causing circuit safety hazards, that is, improving the safety of the lines in the vehicle.

[0035] Specifically, combined Figure 2 The wiring harness connector housing 100 includes a housing 10, a hinge 20, a first snap-fit ​​structure 30 and a second snap-fit ​​structure 40; the housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, and the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are spliced ​​and can enclose a channel 13 for accommodating the wiring harness connector; the hinge 20 is located on one side of the first housing 11, and the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are hingedly connected by the hinge 20 so that the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can rotate relative to each other; the first snap-fit ​​structure 30 is located on one side of the first housing 11 having the hinge 20, and is used to make the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 snap-fit ​​connected; the second snap-fit ​​structure 40 is located on one side of the first housing 11, and is used to make the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 snap-fit ​​connected; wherein the first snap-fit ​​structure 30 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 40 are located on opposite sides of the housing 10. In this way, by providing the first buckle structure 30 and the second buckle structure 40, and making the first buckle structure 30 arranged on one side of the hinge 20, the first buckle structure 30 and the second buckle structure 40 are located on opposite sides of the housing 10. In this way, not only can the hinge 20 be protected by the first buckle structure 30 to improve the service life of the hinge, but also through the arrangement of the first buckle structure 30 and the second buckle structure 40, even if the hinge 20 is broken, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can still be in a buckled state, thus protecting the wiring harness connector.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be configured as a plastic shell or a metal shell. In this embodiment, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are configured as a plastic shell.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, one of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 is provided with a plurality of limiting posts 14, and the other is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 15; after the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are spliced, the plurality of limiting posts 14 correspond to the plurality of limiting grooves 15 one by one and are limited in position. By the one-to-one correspondence and limiting manner of the plurality of limiting posts 14 and the plurality of limiting grooves 15, the structure of the shell 10 can be made more stable, and the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are not easily misaligned.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting column 14 is provided on the first housing 11, and the limiting groove 15 is provided on the second housing 12. Of course, the limiting column 14 and the limiting groove 15 may also be provided on both the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

[0039] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting posts 14 are arranged at intervals around the first housing 11, and correspondingly, a plurality of limiting grooves 15 are also arranged at intervals around the second housing 12. In this way, after the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are spliced, the limiting posts 14 and the limiting grooves 15 can be limited in multiple different directions, thereby improving the connection stability and reliability between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and further realizing the protection of the wiring harness connector.

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 Along the extension direction of the channel 13, a plurality of spaced card pieces 16 are provided on the inner wall of the channel 13. In this way, after the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are spliced, the card pieces 16 can fix the wiring harness, thereby preventing the wiring harness from moving, thus improving the stability and reliability of the wiring harness connector protection.

[0041] Optionally, the number of the card connecting pieces 16 can be set to two, three, four, etc. Of course, not limited thereto, the number of the card connecting pieces 16 can also be set to other numbers, and the specific number can be selected and set according to actual conditions, which will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the channel 13 includes a first half groove 131 and a second half groove 132, one of which is opened on the first shell 11, and the other is opened on the second shell 12. When the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are spliced, the first half groove 131 and the second half groove 132 enclose the channel 13 to form a complete shape.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first half groove 131 and the second half groove 132 are both provided with a clamping piece 16 on the groove wall. In this way, after the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are spliced, the clamping piece 16 on the first half groove 131 and the second half groove 132 can clamp the wire harness from different directions to improve the stability of the wire harness fixing.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, a plug-in column 133 is provided on the groove wall of the first half groove 131. After the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are spliced, the plug-in column 133 can be inserted into the second half groove 132. It can be understood that by providing the plug-in column 133, the cross-sectional area of ​​the channel 13 can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the restraint effect on the wire harness, so that the wire harness can be stably restrained in the channel 13. In addition, the structure of the plug-in column 133 and the second half groove 132 can effectively play a fixing role in the splicing of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12.

[0045] Furthermore, a guide surface 1331 is provided at one end of the plug-in column 133 away from the first half groove 131. Thus, the plug-in column 133 can be inserted into the second half groove 132 more smoothly by providing the guide surface 1331.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the first buckle structure 30 is located at the position where the hinge 20 is located. The hinge 20 will break after working for a long time, and the first buckle structure 30 is set at the position where the hinge 20 is located, so that a part of the force can be borne by the first buckle structure 30, thereby delaying the breakage of the hinge 20, effectively improving the working life of the hinge 20, that is, improving the wiring harness connector housing 100.

[0047] Preferably, the first buckle structure 30 at least partially overlaps with the hinge 20 along the extension direction perpendicular to the channel 13. It is understandable that by at least partially overlapping the first buckle structure 30 with the hinge 20, the first buckle structure 30 can further withstand the force at the hinge, thereby reducing the force on the hinge 20.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first buckle structure 30 includes a first buckle 31 and a first buckle groove 32, one of which is provided on the first housing 11, and the other is provided on the second housing 12, and the first buckle 31 can extend into the first buckle groove 32 and be buckled with the first buckle groove 32. That is, in this embodiment, the first buckle 31 can be provided on the first housing 11, and the first buckle groove 32 is provided on the second housing 12. Alternatively, the first buckle groove 32 is provided on the first housing 11, and the first buckle 31 is provided on the second housing 12.

[0049] In one embodiment, along an extension direction perpendicular to the channel 13 (ie, an axial direction of the channel 13 ), the first buckle 31 is arranged to overlap with at least a portion of the hinge 20 .

[0050] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the second buckle structure 40 includes a second buckle 41 and a second buckle groove 42, one of which is provided on the first shell 11, and the other is provided on the second shell 12, and the second buckle 41 can extend into the second buckle groove 42 and be buckled and connected with the second buckle groove 42. That is, the second buckle 41 can be provided on the first shell 11, and the second buckle groove 42 is provided on the second shell 12. Alternatively, the second buckle groove 42 is provided on the first shell 11, and the second buckle 41 is provided on the second shell 12.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second buckle 41 and the first buckle 31 are both arranged on the first shell 11, and the first buckle groove 32 and the second buckle groove 42 are both opened on the second shell 12. When the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 need to be buckled, the second shell 12 can be rotated relative to the first shell 11, and then the first buckle 31 and the second buckle 41 are respectively snapped into the corresponding first buckle groove 32 and the second buckle groove 42, so as to realize the buckle connection between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. When disassembly is required, the first buckle 31 and the second buckle 41 only need to be withdrawn from the first buckle groove 32 and the second buckle groove 42 respectively, so as to realize the opening of the first shell 11 relative to the second shell 12.

[0052] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
