[0030] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] In the related art, the high-voltage wiring harness is installed by tightening it with a cable tie or the like, and the connection between the cable tie structure and the sheet metal part 2 is only through a double-wire stud clamp. This connection method is unstable and prone to stress concentration, resulting in reduced reliability of the wiring harness.

[0032] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A wiring harness mounting assembly for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the wiring harness installation assembly 1 includes a connecting component 11 and a wire trough shell 12. The connecting component 11 is suitable for connecting to the sheet metal 2 of the vehicle. The connecting component 11 can serve as the installation base of the entire wiring harness installation assembly 1 and is used to connect to the vehicle to maintain a stable connection with the vehicle; the wire trough shell 12 is connected to the connecting component 11 and is formed with a wiring harness trough 121. The wiring harness trough 121 is used to accommodate a high-voltage wiring harness. The high-voltage wiring harness can be a charging line or a control line of the vehicle, etc. The wiring harness trough 121 extends in a direction parallel to the vehicle sheet metal 2 and is open toward the sheet metal 2 to facilitate the installation of the high-voltage wiring harness as an assembly part, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0034] The wiring harness installation assembly 1 of the present application improves the structural stability of the wiring harness installation assembly by providing a wire trough shell 12. In particular, the strength of the wire trough shell 12 is higher than that of the cable tie in the prior art, thereby improving the support capacity for the high-voltage wire harness. At the same time, the wire harness trough 121 provided in the wire trough shell 12 can better cover the wire harness, with a large contact area and more uniform force, thereby effectively solving the stress concentration problem generated during the fixing of the wire harness. The wire harness trough 121 extends in a direction parallel to the vehicle sheet metal 2 and is open toward the sheet metal 2, which facilitates the insertion and fixation of the wire harness and reduces the displacement of the wire harness caused by vehicle vibration or bumps.

[0035] Meanwhile, in related art, double-wire stud clamps use cable ties to secure high-voltage wiring harnesses. However, cable ties are affected by exhaust heat radiation, which accelerates aging, weakens structural strength, and poses a risk of failure. In this application, the wire trough housing 12 is provided. Since the thickness and volume of the wire trough housing 12 are significantly increased compared to cable ties, the wire trough housing 12 ages more slowly after being exposed to heat radiation, and the effects of heat radiation on the high-voltage wiring harness can be reduced.

[0036] According to the wire harness installation assembly 1 of the present application, by providing a connecting component 11 and a wire harness housing, the reliability of the connection between the wire harness installation assembly and the vehicle body is improved by utilizing the connecting portion. At the same time, the wire harness housing can better cover the periphery of the wire harness, has high stability, is less affected by heat radiation, and the service life and reliability are effectively improved, thereby enhancing the supporting effect of the wire harness installation assembly for the high-voltage wire harness.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wire trough housing 12 includes a supporting bottom wall 122, a first side wall 123 and a second side wall 124. The first side wall 123 and the second side wall 124 are respectively arranged on both sides of the supporting bottom wall 122 in the width direction, and the three together define the space of the wire harness trough 121. The supporting bottom wall 122 is designed to be a flat plate with a certain thickness to ensure that the wire harness is evenly supported at the bottom. The first side wall 123 and the second side wall 124 are respectively arranged on both sides of the width of the supporting bottom wall 122 to define a complete wire harness trough 121. The first side wall 123 and the second side wall can be made of a material with a certain strength and rigidity, such as metal or engineering plastic. These materials have high mechanical properties, can withstand certain external forces and impacts, effectively prevent the shaking of the wire harness, and improve the structural strength of the wire harness installation assembly.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, according to the wire trough housing 12 of the present application, the wire harness is stably fixed in the wire harness trough 121, thereby preventing the wire harness from shaking or displacing due to vibration or impact generated by vehicle driving.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the wire trough housing 12 may be constructed in plurality, and two adjacent wire trough housings 12 are connected via a connecting component 11 .

[0040] According to the wire harness installation assembly 1 of the present invention, multiple wire trough housings 12 can be provided according to the requirements of the target design to improve the integration of the entire components, so that one wire harness installation assembly can support multiple wire harnesses at the same time.

[0041] In some embodiments, the harness slot 121 in each harness housing 12 can be configured to a corresponding shape according to the length and routing requirements of the harness, thereby meeting the routing requirements of the harness and reducing the impact of bending on the harness.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple wire trough housings 12 can be integrally formed with the connecting portion, or the wire trough housings 12 and the connecting component 11 can be manufactured separately, and then the separately manufactured connecting component 11 is assembled with the wire trough housing 12. The connecting portion and the wire trough housing 12 can be assembled by snap-fitting, screwing, etc. The wire harness installation assembly 1 of the present application is provided with multiple wire trough housings 12 and utilizes the connection portion to connect with the vehicle body sheet metal to achieve the installation of multiple wire harnesses, thereby improving the integration level.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fastening member is provided on the wire trough housing 12, and at least part of the fastening member is located in the wire harness trough 121. The fastening member is formed with a mounting hole, the size of which is adjustable to facilitate the passage of wire harnesses of different diameters.

[0044] According to the tightening member of the present application, it tightens the wire harness by shrinking the tightening hole 14 , thereby ensuring that the wire harness is stably fixed in the wire harness slot 121 .

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a fastening hole 14 is formed on the support bottom wall 122. Each fastening hole 14 is suitable for a fastening member to pass through, so that the fastening member can enter the interior of the harness groove 121 through the fastening hole 14 and directly act on the harness, further increasing the stability and reliability of the harness fixation.

[0046] The tie-down holes 14 can be located on the support bottom wall 122. The number of tie-down holes 14 can be determined based on the wiring harness installation requirements. Typically, two tie-down holes 14 are spaced apart across the width of the support bottom wall 122 to facilitate insertion and removal of the tie-down member. The tie-down member of the present application effectively prevents the wiring harness from loosening or shifting, and the tie-down holes 14 on the tie-down member can be adjusted to accommodate wiring harnesses of different sizes.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of tightening members and tightening holes 14 are spaced apart in the extension direction of the wiring harness slot 121, and a plurality of said tightening members are spaced apart in the extension direction of the wiring harness slot 121. The plurality of tightening members jointly restrict and fix the wiring harness at various positions in the extension direction, thereby improving the stability of the wiring harness, thereby effectively preventing the wiring harness from sliding in the slot, and fixing the wiring harness more firmly in the slot, thereby preventing the wiring harness from loosening or shifting due to vibration or bumps during vehicle driving. Fixing the wiring harness at different positions avoids stress concentration in a single position of the wiring harness, thereby improving the overall stability of the wiring harness. The tightening members and tightening holes 14 spaced apart according to the present application can more comprehensively fix the wiring harness, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the wiring harness.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a flange portion 15 is formed at the end of the wire trough housing 12. The flange portion 15 increases the thickness and rigidity of the edge of the wire trough housing 12, so that the wire trough housing 12 can better disperse and withstand stress when subjected to external force or impact, avoid local stress concentration, reduce the risk of deformation or damage, and improve the structural strength of the entire wire trough housing 12.

[0049] The design of the flange portion 15 according to the present application ensures that the wire harness housing can maintain high strength and high reliability, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the wire harness.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a circular arc transition 16 is used between the edge of the flange portion 15 and the support bottom wall 122. If there are sharp corners on the edges of the flange portion 15 and the support bottom wall 122, the wiring harness may frequently contact and rub against these sharp corners when moving. Since the sharp corners are relatively sharp, this friction will cause wear on the outer sheath of the wiring harness and may even damage the wires inside the wiring harness, affecting the reliability of the electrical connection. The circular arc transition 16 design can evenly disperse the external force on the wiring harness and avoid stress concentration at a specific point. This can effectively prevent the wiring harness from breaking or being damaged due to stress concentration at a specific location.

[0051] The design of the arc transition 16 according to the present application improves the life and reliability of the entire wire harness mounting assembly.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting component 11 may be formed with a rotation-stopping portion 17 adapted to cooperate with the sheet metal part 2. The rotation-stopping portion 17 may be constructed as a protrusion protruding toward the sheet metal part 2, and the sheet metal part 2 may be formed with a rotation-stopping hole or a rotation-stopping groove cooperating with the protrusion.

[0053] Since the connecting component 11 and the sheet metal need to be connected in the direction of tightening the fasteners, the connecting component 11 will want to rotate relative to the sheet metal during the process of tightening the fasteners, which makes the operation difficult and the installation efficiency low. In order to effectively prevent the connecting component 11 from rotating or displacing relative to the sheet metal 2 during the installation process, a stopper is provided to ensure that the connecting component 11 and the sheet metal 2 remain relatively stable during the installation process, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the connecting component 11 and improving the installation efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the connecting component 11 and the trunking housing 12 may be constructed as an integral injection-molded part, and a flame retardant may be added to the injection-molded material.

Because the vehicle according to the present invention is equipped with the wiring harness installation assembly 1 described in the above embodiments, not only is the installation efficiency of the wiring harness improved, but the service life and reliability of the wiring harness are also increased. While the vehicle is in motion, even in the face of complex road conditions and environmental changes, the wiring harness can maintain a stable and reliable operating state, thereby reducing vehicle downtime and repair costs caused by wiring harness failures.
