[0041] The technical solution of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments. It should be understood that one or more steps mentioned in the present utility model do not exclude the existence of other methods and steps before and after the combined steps, or other methods and steps can be inserted between these clearly mentioned steps. It should also be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present utility model and not to limit the scope of the present utility model. Unless otherwise specified, the numbers of each method step are only for the purpose of identifying each method step, rather than restricting the arrangement order of each method or limiting the implementation scope of the present utility model. The change or adjustment of its relative relationship can also be regarded as the implementable scope of the present utility model under the condition of no substantial technical content change.

[0042] There is no specific restriction on the sources of the raw materials and instruments used in the embodiments, and they can be purchased in the market or prepared according to the conventional methods well-known to those skilled in the art.

[0043] During the design of the automotive wiring harness, considering that the moving parts will reserve a length of the wiring harness to absorb the movement of the moving parts, and there is no device for storing this length of the wiring harness, which results in the messy arrangement of the wiring harness in the vehicle. At the same time, the moving parts will rub against the wiring harness during the movement process, causing irreversible damage to the wiring harness and affecting the running safety of the vehicle. Therefore, a wire reel for storing the excess length of the automotive wiring harness and capable of replacing the quick-release buckle is designed. It can be adapted to smaller buckles, and waterproof buckles can also be used to fix it in some places where waterproofing is required. When assembling the automotive wiring harness, if the wiring harness is too long, the excess wiring harness needs to be fixed or bundled separately. When bundling the wiring harness, the minimum bending radius shall not be less than 2 times the diameter of the wiring harness. The prior art generally directly increases the length of the wiring harness to ensure that there is enough excess length of the wiring harness and the roots of the connector terminals will not be stressed.

[0044] Based on the existing technology, the present utility model improves the existing structure and applies it to the field of automotive wire harnesses. It also adds replaceable quick-release buckles and a buckle mounting structure fixed on the vehicle body. The wire harness is wound around a spiral hairspring to achieve the storage of the wire harness. The spiral hairspring can tighten or loosen the wire harness, greatly improving the service life of the wire harness. The disc-shaped structure facilitates the tightening of the wire harness from both sides and also increases the space utilization rate. The replaceable quick-release buckle can select a suitable quick-release buckle according to different surrounding environments, and for parts with waterproof requirements, a waterproof buckle can also be adapted for fixation. In addition, the housing of the reel can be adjusted at a certain angle according to different surrounding environments to facilitate adaptation to various environments, increasing the practicality of the reel.

[0045] As Figures 1-3 shown, a reel with replaceable quick-release buckles for automotive wire harness storage includes a housing 3. Inside the housing 3, there is a central column 6. A spiral hairspring 4 is sleeved on the central column 6. Outside the housing 3, there is a buckle fixing component 2. The buckle fixing component 2 is snap-connected with the quick-release buckle 1. There is a buckle mounting structure (not shown in the figure) on the vehicle body. The buckle mounting structure matches the quick-release buckle 1. The storage wire harness reel is installed on the vehicle body by snap-connecting the quick-release buckle 1 to the buckle mounting structure on the vehicle body.

[0046] Among them, the quick-release buckle 1 is a replaceable buckle. The replaceable buckle can select different buckles according to different environments. If there is a waterproof requirement, a waterproof buckle can also be selected. For places with a narrow mounting surface, a smaller-sized quick-release buckle can also be selected for fixation.

[0047] According to the actual situation, the quick-release buckle 1 can be one or more of a flat buckle, a cross-shaped buckle, a round buckle, a fir-tree-shaped buckle, and a special-shaped hole buckle. As Figure 4 shown, the quick-release buckle 101 is a 7*12mm horizontal waterproof buckle, 102 is a φ6.5mm fir-tree-shaped buckle, 103 is a 7*12mm vertical waterproof buckle, 104 is a φ6.5mm waterproof buckle, 105 is a 7.5*12mm special-shaped hole vertical buckle, and 106 is a 7*12mm horizontal buckle. Figures 5-9 It is a schematic structural diagram of different types of quick-connect buckles installed on the buckle fixing component.

[0048] The automotive wire harness 5 is wound around the spiral hairspring 4. The two ends of the wire harness respectively extend out of the two ends of the housing 3. When the automotive wire harness is pulled out under the action of an external force, the spiral hairspring 4 is in a tightened state. When the automotive wire harness 5 is in a relaxed state, the spiral hairspring 4 changes from a tightened state back to a relaxed state. At this time, a pulling force will be given to the automotive wire harness 5 to store the automotive wire harness 5 inside the plastic housing 3.

[0049] Figure 10 、Figure 11 , Figure 12 is another embodiment of the present utility model. The housing 3 includes a first housing mounting member 301 and a second housing mounting member 302. The first housing mounting member 301 rotates at a certain angle relative to the second housing mounting member 302 along the central column 6 with the central column as the axis. Preferably, the rotation angle is 0 to 150°, and more preferably, the rotation angle is 0 to 90°.

[0050] In some embodiments, a through hole is provided in the center of the housing 3, and the snap fixing member 1 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the central column 6.

[0051] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present utility model is for purposes of illustration and exemplification. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present utility model to the precise forms disclosed, and it is obvious that many changes and variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The purpose of selecting and describing the exemplary embodiments is to explain the specific principles of the present utility model and its practical applications, so that those skilled in the art can implement and utilize the various different exemplary embodiments of the present utility model, as well as various different selections and changes. The scope of the present utility model is intended to be defined by the claims and their equivalents.
