[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of a vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle 1000 may include, but is not limited to, a sky door 300, a floor door 200, and a balance limiter 100. In this embodiment, part of the structure of the sky door 300 covers the floor door 200. In some other embodiments, part of the structure of the floor door 200 covers the sky door 300. The balance limiter 100 is fixed inside the floor door 200. The balance limiter 100 is used to balance the opening of the floor door 200 and assist in closing the floor door 200.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of a balance limiter provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 which is Figure 2 a cross-sectional view of the balance limiter at A-A. The balance limiter 100 may include, but is not limited to, a drain and wire outlet joint 110, a wire 120, and an outer tube 130. The drain and wire outlet joint 110 is fixed to one end of the outer tube 130 and is in interference fit with the outer tube 130. Part of the structure of the wire 120 is located inside the outer tube 130, and one end of the wire 120 passes through the drain and wire outlet joint 110 and is hinged to the rear tail ball.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 4-9 , Figure 4 which is a schematic structural diagram of a drain and wire outlet joint provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 which is Figure 4 a right view of the drain and wire outlet joint, Figure 6 which isFigure 5 Cross-sectional view of the liquid discharge and wire outlet joint at B-B Figure 7 Exploded schematic diagram of the liquid discharge and wire outlet joint provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 8 Schematic structural diagram of the mounting bracket provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 9 Schematic structural diagram of the guiding bracket provided by the embodiment of the present application. The liquid discharge and wire outlet joint 110 may include, but is not limited to, a mounting bracket 111 and a guiding bracket 112. The mounting bracket 111 is used to be fixed within the ground door 200 of the vehicle 1000. The mounting bracket 111 has a receiving cavity 1111. The guiding bracket 112 is fixed to the mounting bracket 111, and at least part of the structure of the guiding bracket 112 is disposed within the receiving cavity 1111 to form a liquid discharge gap 113 with the mounting bracket 111. The guiding bracket 112 is provided with a guiding channel 1121. At least part of the structure of the guiding channel 1121 is received within the receiving cavity 1111. The guiding channel 1121 is used for the wire 120 in the balance limiter 100 to pass through. Wherein, the liquid discharge gap 113 can prevent external liquid from entering the balance limiter 100 through the guiding channel 1121.

[0036] It can be understood that since the wire 120 needs to be led out to the outside through the guiding channel 1121, external liquid such as rainwater is likely to enter the balance limiter 100 through the guiding channel 1121. By forming the liquid discharge gap 113 between the mounting bracket 111 and the guiding bracket 112, when the external liquid enters the guiding channel 1121, it flows into the liquid discharge gap 113, preventing the liquid from further flowing into the outer tube 130 of the balance limiter 100, thereby avoiding liquid accumulation during the use of the balance limiter 100.

[0037] Furthermore, the guiding channel 1121 has a stress side wall 1121a and a hollow structure 1121b opposite to the stress side wall 1121a. The wire 120 is in contact with the stress side wall 1121a during the opening and closing of the ground door 200. The liquid located within the guiding channel 1121 can flow to the liquid discharge gap 113 through the hollow structure 1121b to more efficiently and thoroughly discharge the liquid that enters the liquid discharge and wire outlet joint 110.

[0038] Furthermore, the liquid discharge gap 113 has a first end 1131, a second end 1132, and a first liquid guiding surface 1133 connecting between the first end 1131 and the second end 1132. Wherein, when the mounting bracket 111 is fixed within the ground door 200, the first end 1131 is higher than the second end 1132 relative to the horizontal plane, such that the liquid located within the liquid discharge gap 113 can flow from the first end 1131 to the second end 1132 through the first liquid guiding surface 1133.

[0039] Further, a liquid leakage groove 1133a is provided at the first liquid guide surface 1133 near the second end 1132. The guide bracket 112 is provided with a liquid discharge hole 1122 communicating with the liquid leakage groove 1133a. The liquid leakage groove 1133a and the liquid discharge hole 1122 are arranged opposite to each other, and the liquid leakage groove 1133a is higher than the liquid discharge hole 1122, so that the liquid in the liquid discharge gap 113 can be discharged from the liquid discharge hole 1122 through the liquid leakage groove 1133a. Herein, the liquid leakage groove 1133a being higher than the liquid discharge hole 1122 means that when the mounting bracket 111 is fixed in the ground door 200, the lowest point of the liquid leakage groove 1133a relative to the horizontal plane is located between the lowest point and the highest point of the liquid discharge hole 1122 relative to the horizontal plane, and there is a certain distance between the lowest point of the liquid leakage groove 1133a and the highest point of the liquid discharge hole 1122.

[0040] Further, the liquid discharge gap 113 is provided with a second liquid guide surface 1134 connected to the first liquid guide surface 1133 at the first end 1131. The end surface of the guide channel 1121 facing the second liquid guide surface 1134 is spaced from the second liquid guide surface 1134 to form the liquid discharge gap 113.

[0041] In this embodiment, the end surface of the guide channel 1121 facing the second liquid guide surface 1134 is arranged parallel to the second liquid guide surface 1134. The included angle between the first liquid guide surface 1133 and the second liquid guide surface 1134 is greater than 90°. Such a setting can increase the efficiency of the liquid flowing from the guide channel 1121 into the liquid discharge gap 113.

[0042] Further, the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 1111 is provided with a first limiting structure 1112. The outer wall of the guide channel 1121 is provided with a second limiting structure 1123. The first limiting structure 1112 and the second limiting structure 1123 are connected in a limiting manner, so that the guide bracket 112 is limited in the mounting bracket 111.

[0043] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 1111 is provided with a first convex structure, and a clamping groove is formed between the first convex structures. The outer wall of the guide channel 1121 is provided with a second convex structure, and the second convex structure is inserted into the clamping groove, so that the guide bracket 112 is limited in the mounting bracket 111.

[0044] Further, the mounting bracket 111 is provided with a receiving groove 1113. The receiving groove 1113 communicates with the receiving cavity 1111. The guiding bracket 112 is further provided with a mounting plate 1124 and an outlet 1125. The guiding channel 1121 is disposed on one side of the mounting plate 1124. The outlet 1125 is disposed on the other side of the mounting plate 1124. The guiding channel 1121 communicates with the outlet 1125. The mounting plate 1124 is received in the receiving groove 1113. A through hole 1113a is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 1113. The mounting plate 1124 is provided with a pin 1124a. The pin 1124a is inserted into the through hole 1113a, so that the guiding bracket 112 is fixed to the mounting bracket 111. The mounting bracket 111 is provided with a threaded hole 1114 in the plane where the notch of the receiving groove 1113 is located. The mounting bracket 111 can be fixed in the ground door 200 through the threaded hole 1114.

[0045] Further, the liquid discharge and wire outlet joint 110 further includes a waterproof gasket 114. The waterproof gasket 114 is attached to the plane where the notch of the receiving groove 1113 is located. The waterproof gasket 114 covers the gap between the receiving groove 1113 and the mounting plate 1124 to prevent the liquid from staying or even flowing back after being discharged.

[0046] The liquid discharge and wire outlet joint 110 provided in this application includes: a mounting bracket 111 for being fixed in the ground door 200 of the vehicle 1000, the mounting bracket 111 having a receiving cavity 1111; a guiding bracket 112 fixed to the mounting bracket 111, and at least part of the structure of the guiding bracket 112 is disposed in the receiving cavity 1111 to form a liquid discharge gap 113 with the mounting bracket 111; the guiding bracket 112 is provided with a guiding channel 1121, at least part of the structure of the guiding channel 1121 is received in the receiving cavity 1111, and the guiding channel 1121 is used for the wire 120 in the balance limiter 100 to pass through; wherein, the liquid discharge gap 113 can prevent external liquid from entering the balance limiter 100 through the guiding channel 1121. In this way, the liquid discharge and wire outlet joint 110 can prevent the balance limiter 100 from accumulating external liquid during use.

[0047] The above are only some embodiments of this application, and thus do not limit the protection scope of this application. Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of this application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of this application.
