Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle parts, in particular to a wire harness sealing component and an automobile body. Background Art

[0002] When the automobile wiring harness passes through a via, in order to prevent the wiring harness from being damaged and to fix and seal the wiring harness, a rubber piece is usually provided outside the wiring harness. The rubber piece has a through hole for the wiring harness to pass through and a mounting surface that is interference fit with the wiring harness via. The rubber piece is interference fit with the via to achieve fixation and sealing of the wiring harness at the via.

[0003] For the wiring harness that needs to pass through the via hole from the outside of the vehicle body to enter the passenger compartment, especially when the via hole is at the bottom of the vehicle body, considering the weight of the wiring harness, there is a risk of rubber parts falling off, and it is not waterproof and has poor sealing. In response to this problem, Chinese utility model patent CN214589428U proposes a wiring harness fixing device for automobiles, which accommodates cables through a fixed cover and a fixed body that are fixedly connected; the fixed body is installed in the via hole through the fixing body buckles and bolts located on the mounting surfaces at both ends of the via hole; and a waterproof sealing plug is provided inside the fixing body, and a sealing ring is provided outside to improve the sealing performance. This solution can solve the problem of preventing falling off, but since the sealing ring is clamped between the fixed body and the through hole, the fixed body buckle is made of a material with a certain elasticity, and the connection reliability is not high. If the fixed body is deflected in the through hole, the sealing effect of the sealing ring may be affected. In addition, since the sealing plug is only arranged inside the fixed body, in order to achieve the sealing effect, the wire harness outlet end (that is, the end of the fixed body passing through the through hole) is small in size, and the wire harness is restricted by the fixed body structure at the outlet end. The direction of the wire harness is restricted after passing through the through hole. The structure of the fixing device is also relatively complex and inconvenient to install. In addition, the fixing device has a connecting hole in the vehicle body and is connected to the vehicle body by bolts, which has a certain impact on the strength of the vehicle body.

[0004] When the wiring harness is used in harsh working conditions such as through-holes under the vehicle, sealing failure, sealing parts falling off upside down, and inconvenient installation are problems that need to be urgently solved in this field. Utility Model Content

A plurality of the first reinforcing ribs are evenly distributed on the body along the circumferential direction. The inner annular surface of the mounting plate is radially recessed outward to form a plurality of receiving grooves, and the first reinforcing ribs are installed in the receiving grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, the cross-section of the body is annular, and the outer surface of the body between the wire harness inlet and the wire harness outlet forms a flange-shaped connecting portion radially outwardly abutting against the mounting plate, and the connecting portion protrudes on the surface close to the wire harness outlet to form a sealing ring.

Preferably, the connector is a bolt, and a stud is welded on the mounting surface on the outer side of the body, the wiring harness sealing assembly is sleeved on the stud, and then fastened by a nut, thereby avoiding opening an additional hole on the body bottom plate, thereby meeting the requirements of body strength, etc.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The wire harness sealing assembly of the utility model comprises a body 1 and a mounting plate 2 sleeved on the body 1; the body 1 is preferably made of rubber, and the mounting plate 2 is preferably a sheet metal. The body 1 is provided with a receiving hole 11 for passing the wire harness, and the two ends of the receiving hole 11 are a wire harness inlet 111 and a wire harness outlet 112 respectively.

[0027] Furthermore, the surface of the main body 1 near the wire harness entry port 111 protrudes outward to form a first reinforcing rib 12. The number of the first reinforcing ribs 12 is preferably multiple and evenly distributed on the main body 1 along the circumferential direction. The first reinforcing ribs 12 can enhance the overall strength and rigidity of the main body 1 and reduce the deformation degree of the surface of the main body 1 when the wire harness is passed through the main body 1, thereby supporting the wire harness and the main body 1.

[0028] Preferably, the first reinforcing rib 12 is integrally formed with the body 1 and is made of rubber; the first reinforcing rib 12 may also be made of a rigid material such as metal, fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2, preferably integrally formed with the mounting plate 2, or welded to the surface of the mounting plate 2 near the wire harness inlet. When the first reinforcing rib 12 is made of metal, it has a supporting surface that matches the surface of the body 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the inner annular surface of the mounting plate 2 is recessed radially outward to form a plurality of accommodating grooves 23, and the first reinforcing rib 12 is installed in the accommodating groove 23. When the first reinforcing rib 12 is made of a rubber material integrally formed with the body 1, preferably, the first reinforcing rib 12 and the accommodating groove 23 are clearance-matched for easy installation. The first reinforcing rib 12 and the accommodating groove 23 may also be interference-fitted, so that the accommodating groove 23 can play a certain supporting role for the first reinforcing rib 12, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the body 1.

[0030] The number of the first reinforcing ribs 12 and the accommodating grooves 23 can be adjusted according to the wire diameter of the wire harness and the size requirements of the via hole. Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the number of the first reinforcing ribs 12 and the number of the accommodating grooves 23 are both 3. If the wire diameter of the wire harness is increased, the number of the first reinforcing ribs 12 and the number of the accommodating grooves 23 can be 4 or more.

[0031] Furthermore, the cross section of the body 1 is annular, and the outer surface of the body 1 between the wire harness inlet 111 and the wire harness outlet 112 is radially outwardly formed with a flange-shaped connection portion 13 that abuts against the mounting plate 2. Preferably, the connection portion 13 protrudes on the surface close to the wire harness outlet 112 to form a sealing ring 133. Alternatively, the connection portion 13 may protrude on the surface close to the wire harness outlet 112 to form a sealing boss, or a sealing ring made of a flexible material such as rubber may be provided on one side of the body 1 close to the wire harness outlet 112.

[0032] Furthermore, the mounting plate 2 is provided with mounting holes 21, 22 for inserting fasteners such as bolts, and the connecting portion 13 is provided with connecting holes 141, 142 communicating with the mounting holes 21, 22. The connecting portion 13 is abutted between the mounting plate 2 and the mounting surface, and the wire harness outlet 112 passes through the through hole, so that the wire harness inlet 111 and the wire harness outlet 112 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting surface. According to the size of the wire diameter of the wire harness, the number of the mounting holes and the connecting holes can be one or more.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in a specific embodiment, the mounting hole includes a first mounting hole 21 and a second mounting hole 22, and the connecting hole includes a first connecting hole 131 and a second connecting hole 132, and the first mounting hole 21 and the first connecting hole 131 are preferably round holes, and the second mounting hole 22 and the second connecting hole 132 are preferably oblong holes. And in this embodiment, two bolts are welded on the mounting surface of the vehicle body. When in use, the connecting portion 13 on the main body 1 abuts between the mounting plate 2 and the mounting surface on the vehicle body, and the first connecting hole 131 and the first mounting hole 21 are sequentially sleeved outside the first bolt, and the second connecting hole 132 and the second mounting hole 22 are sequentially sleeved outside the second bolt. The shape of the oblong hole of the second mounting hole 22 and the second connecting hole 132 allows for quick positioning when sleeved on the second bolt, and is fastened by a nut for easy installation, and sealing is achieved at the through hole by a sealing ring 133.

[0034] Preferably, if Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the body 1 is provided with a cylindrical harness guide 14, which includes a harness inlet 141 and a harness outlet 142. The harness inlet 141 is a free end, and the harness outlet 142 is connected to the harness inlet 111 and communicates with the harness inlet 111. According to the wiring harness routing requirements, the harness inlet 141 and the harness outlet 142 can be at any angle, such as Figure 1 As shown, for example, when the wire harness is on the outside of the bottom of the vehicle body, the wire harness guide portion 14 can change the direction of the wire harness arranged transversely when passing through the through hole.

[0035] Preferably, if Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the wire harness entry end 141 forms an annular sealing rib 143 radially inward. When the wire harness is inserted into the wire harness entry end 141, it is engaged with the sealing rib 143. When in use, the wire harness can be restricted in its position in the main body 1 by engaging with the sealing rib 143, thereby fixing the wire harness, and the sealing rib 143 can improve the sealing performance.

[0036] Preferably, the outer wall of the wire harness entry end 141 forms an annular flange 144 radially outward. During installation, the flange 144 and the sealing rib 143 can increase the end surface area of ​​the wire harness entry end 141, thereby facilitating the insertion of the wire harness and further facilitating installation.

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in order to further prevent the body 1 from falling off from the through hole, preferably, the body 1 protrudes radially outward at the edge of the harness outlet 112 to form a second reinforcing rib 15. Since the body 1 is made of a non-rigid material such as rubber, during installation, the second reinforcing rib 15 passes through the through hole and engages with the surface on the other side of the mounting surface on the vehicle body to further fix the body 1.

[0038] According to the different functions of the wiring harness in the car, different types of wiring harnesses have different corresponding sizes, weights and installation environments. Therefore, the shapes and sizes of the main body 1, the mounting plate 2, the wiring harness inlet terminal 141, etc. in the utility model are not limited to the above specific embodiments.

[0039] The above is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
