Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an AMT wiring harness, in particular to an 11-speed integrated AMT wiring harness assembly. Background Art

[0002] Currently, AMT (Automatic Mechanical Transmission) technology for commercial vehicles both domestically and internationally has reached a mature stage, with remarkably stable performance. Modular AMT technology is widely used in existing technologies, separating the transmission, controller, and actuator, making the shift actuator, clutch actuator, and sensors modular components within the transmission itself. However, this split design increases the number of components, requiring them to be connected via wiring harnesses, resulting in numerous wiring harnesses and cumbersome plug connections.

[0003] Chinese patent CN105097082 discloses a 16-speed automatic transmission (AMT) wiring harness that integrates the transmission's electrical components (solenoid valves, sensors, etc.) into a single bus harness and centrally arranges them in a single electrical connector, the transmission electrical connector. In use, the transmission electrical connector only needs to be connected to the TCU and the vehicle. However, its disadvantage is that the transmission electrical connector is fixedly mounted inside the AMT transmission. If part of the wiring harness fails, the entire transmission housing needs to be removed for inspection, which is a cumbersome operation.

[0004] In complex road conditions, the transmission is often subjected to strong vibrations during driving. Over time, the wiring harness connector can easily become loose, and the wiring harness itself can also experience movement and poor contact. AMTs require stringent control of sensor signals such as speed and displacement. A wiring harness failure can lead to signal transmission anomalies, impacting transmission performance and functionality. Therefore, ensuring the robustness and stability of the AMT wiring harness is crucial. Utility Model Content

[0042] The inner wiring harness is fixed in the second wiring harness bracket by a buckle, and the second wiring harness bracket is fixed to the inside of the gearbox housing by bolts to ensure the stability of the wiring harness fixation.

[0043] like Figure 2 The figure shows a cross-section of the outer and inner wiring harnesses 2. From the inside out, the outer and inner wiring harnesses 2 and 2 comprise a conductor layer 21, a shielding insulation layer 22, a waterproof layer 23, and an anti-wear layer 24. The conductor layer 21 utilizes a twisted-pair design to protect the harness conductors. The shielding insulation layer 22 is constructed of PVC polyvinyl chloride to protect the harness from electromagnetic interference and exhibits excellent anti-electromagnetic interference performance. The waterproof layer 23 is constructed of PE polyethylene, exhibiting excellent waterproof properties and suitable for use in the harsh operating environment of the transmission. The anti-wear layer 24 utilizes wear-resistant tape, exhibiting excellent wear resistance. This prevents damage to the harness from dry abrasion between the harness and the transmission, harness bracket, or other vehicle components, thereby reducing the probability of transmission failure.
