Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of corrugated pipes, in particular to an ultra-flat plastic corrugated pipe structure used for protecting wire harnesses in a vibration environment. Background Art

[0002] A corrugated tube usually refers to a tubular elastic sensitive element, which is made of foldable corrugated sheets connected along the folding and stretching direction. Among the corrugated tubes, the harness corrugated tube is a tube with a concave and convex waveform, which is often used in the parts of the harness that are subject to more mechanical shock to protect the harness from damage. The ultra-flat corrugated tube is a corrugated tube with a special structure, and its trough width is 3-5 times that of other wave types. This design effectively increases the contact area between the wire and the inner wall of the corrugated tube, thereby providing better protection for the PVC surface of the wire.

[0003] However, when used in a vibrating environment, although the traditional ultra-flat corrugated tube can increase the contact area to provide protection, the wires will still experience swinging contact wear at the gap between the two in a vibrating environment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an ultra-flat plastic bellows structure for protecting wiring harnesses in a vibration environment to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides an ultra-flat plastic bellows structure for protecting wire harnesses in a vibrating environment to solve the problem that when the existing bellows are used in a vibrating environment, although the contact area can be increased to play a protective role, the wires will still produce swinging contact wear at the gap connecting the two in a vibrating environment.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] An ultra-flat plastic corrugated pipe structure for protecting a wire harness in a vibration environment, comprising: a corrugated pipe, an end pipe;

[0008] End pipes are installed at both ends of the corrugated pipe, one end is the incoming line end, and the other end is the outgoing line end. The end pipe is sleeved with the mounting pipe so that the limiting mechanism set on the outer end surface of the mounting pipe is placed inside the end pipe. A shock-absorbing strip is installed inside the corrugated pipe.

[0009] In one embodiment, a threaded protrusion is formed on the outer circumference of the end tube, and a threaded groove meshing with the threaded protrusion is formed on the inner circumference of the mounting tube.

[0010] In one embodiment, a limiting mechanism is installed on the outer end surface of the mounting tube, and a plurality of limiting mechanisms are arranged in a circular array at intervals. Parts of the limiting mechanism located at the end tube and the mounting tube are spaced apart from the walls of both.

[0011] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism is composed of a connecting plate, a limiting plate, and a pad. The connecting plate is an L-shaped structure as a whole, and its horizontal section is connected to the mounting tube, and the bottom of the vertical section is connected to the limiting plate. The limiting plate extends toward the inside of the mounting tube, and the bottom of the limiting plate is an arc-shaped surface. The limiting plate is an elastic steel sheet structure as a whole, and the part located in the mounting tube is inclined downward. Pads are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the arc-shaped surface of the limiting plate. The pads are made of hard rubber and abut against the outer sheath of the wire.

[0012] In one embodiment, the shock-absorbing strip is generally in the shape of a circular ring, and its outer circumference is in contact with the inner wall of the trough of the corrugated tube. The interior of the shock-absorbing strip is made of synthetic cotton, and the exterior is covered with insulating cloth. The number of the shock-absorbing strips is consistent with the number of troughs of the corrugated tube. The shock-absorbing strips are connected by insulating strips, and intermittent grooves are provided on the circumference of the insulating strips.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] (1) The utility model inserts an integrated shock-absorbing strip into the interior of the corrugated tube so that the shock-absorbing strip abuts against the trough of the corrugated tube. The provision of the insulating strip and the discontinuous groove facilitates the installation of the shock-absorbing strip. At the same time, the insulating strip helps to reduce the friction between the corrugated tube and the wire.

[0015] (2) The utility model screws the installation tube and the end tube into place so that the limit plate is located inside the end tube and abuts against the outer skin of the wire. The end of the wire is limited by the cooperation of the cushion block and the limit plate to avoid excessive friction between the end tube and the inner wall of the corrugated tube. The two are connected when they are disassembled. Even if the end tube is damaged, the installation tube can still be used for the next end tube. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
