[0034] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a wire harness assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the wiring harness assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a front compartment wiring harness 1 and a plurality of detection elements 2. The front compartment wiring harness 1 has a connecting branch line 11. The plurality of detection elements 2 are disposed at the front of the vehicle 200, and at least one of the plurality of detection elements 2 is individually connected to the connecting branch line 11.

[0036] This simplifies the structure of the wire harness assembly 100, enables a lightweight design, reduces costs, lowers assembly difficulty, and improves the practicality of the wire harness assembly 100.

[0037] First, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the vehicle 1000 is equipped with a wiring harness assembly 100, which includes a front compartment wiring harness 1 and detection components 2. The front compartment wiring harness 1 has a connecting branch line 11, and there are multiple detection components 2 located at the front of the vehicle 200. At least one of the multiple detection components 2 is individually connected to the connecting branch line 11, so that the detection component 2 can be directly connected to the front compartment wiring harness 1 through the connecting branch line 11, so that the detection component 2 can transmit the detected road condition information to the vehicle control system through the front compartment wiring harness 1.

[0038] For example, the detection element 2 can be individually connected to the connecting branch line 11; or, several of the multiple detection elements 2 can be connected to the same connecting branch line 11. This utility model does not limit this.

[0039] It should be noted that the bumper 201 is usually equipped with a bumper wiring harness. The electrical module on the bumper 201 is connected to the bumper wiring harness, and the bumper wiring harness is connected to the front compartment wiring harness 1 to connect the electrical module on the bumper 201 to the front compartment wiring harness 1 to realize the electrical function. This arrangement is structurally complex and costly.

[0040] To address the aforementioned issues, the detection component 2 can be directly connected to the front compartment wiring harness 1, eliminating the need for the bumper wiring harness and its fixing structure. This simplifies the structure of the wiring harness assembly 100, facilitating lightweight design and reducing costs, such as by reducing the amount of materials and the number of openings. It also facilitates disassembly and assembly, reducing maintenance difficulty. Furthermore, since the detection component 2 is directly connected to the front compartment wiring harness 1, resistance is reduced, resulting in a smaller voltage drop across the front compartment wiring harness 1 and improved performance.

[0041] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the wiring harness assembly 100 can simplify the structure of the wiring harness assembly 100 by directly connecting the detection component 2 to the front cabin wiring harness 1, which is conducive to achieving lightweight design, and can reduce assembly difficulty and processing cost, thereby improving the practicality of the wiring harness assembly 100.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the front cabin wiring harness 1 has multiple connecting branch lines 11, and at least one of the multiple detection elements 2 is individually connected to at least one of the multiple connecting branch lines 11. Exemplarily, one of the multiple detection elements 2 can be individually connected to a corresponding connecting branch line 11; alternatively, several of the multiple detection elements 2 can be connected one-to-one to several connecting branch lines 11. This invention does not impose any limitations on this. Therefore, the wiring can be simplified, which helps to reduce the difficulty of arranging the wiring harness assembly 100.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple detection components 2 are spaced apart at the front of the vehicle 200, and each detection component 2 is connected to a corresponding branch line 11 to connect the multiple detection components 2 to the front compartment wiring harness 1. Specifically, the multiple detection components 2 can be of the same type of detection device; or, at least some of the multiple detection components 2 can be of different types of detection devices, and this utility model does not limit this. Thus, an integrated arrangement can be achieved, which is beneficial to improving the practicality of the wiring harness assembly 100.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple detection elements 2 can be spaced apart along the width of the vehicle front 200. This ensures the detection range of the detection elements 2, improves their detection effect, and enhances the design rationality of the vehicle 1000.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multiple detection components 2 include a camera 21 and / or a radar probe 22; the connecting branch line 11 includes a camera branch line 11a and / or a radar branch line 11b, with the camera branch line 11a connected to the camera 21 and the radar branch line 11b connected to the radar probe 22.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multiple detection components 2 include a camera 21 and two radar probes 22. The camera 21 is located in the middle of the front of the vehicle 200 along the width direction, and the two radar probes 22 are located on both sides of the front of the vehicle 200 along the width direction. The connecting branch line 11 includes a camera branch line 11a and two radar branch lines 11b. The camera branch line 11a is located in the middle of the front end of the front of the vehicle 200, and is opposite to and connected to the camera 21. The two radar branch lines 11b are located on the left and right sides of the front end of the vehicle 200, and are opposite to and connected to the two radar probes 22.

[0047] The above settings can shorten the length of the connecting branch line 11, reduce the overall length of the wire, reduce costs, and improve the practicality of the wire harness assembly 100.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the front of the vehicle 200 includes a bumper 201, which is installed at the front of the vehicle 200 and extends along the width direction of the vehicle 200. The bumper 201 is used to protect the front of the vehicle 200. In the length direction of the bumper 201, multiple cameras 21 and / or radar probes 22 are arranged at intervals.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multiple detection components 2 include a camera 21 and two radar probes 22. The camera 21 is located in the middle of the bumper 201 along its length, and the two radar probes 22 are located at both ends of the bumper 201 along its length. This allows for full utilization of the space at the front of the vehicle 200, facilitating the rational arrangement of the detection components 2.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the front of the vehicle 200 also includes a front body 202, with a bumper 201 mounted on the front of the front body 202. The front cab wiring harness 1 also includes a wiring harness body 12, which is used to connect to the connecting branch line 11. The front body 202 is provided with the wiring harness body 12, which is used to connect to the vehicle control system. This ensures the connection stability between the detection component 3 and the vehicle control system to a certain extent, improving the reliability of the wiring harness assembly 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, at least one of the front body 202 and the bumper 201 is provided with a fixing part 203, and the radar branch line 11b is fixed by the fixing part 203.

[0052] For example, a fixing part 203 can be provided on the front body 202, and the fixing part 203 is used to fix the radar branch line 11b to the front body 202; or, a fixing part 203 can be provided on the bumper 201, and the fixing part 203 is used to fix the radar branch line 11b to the bumper 201; or, fixing parts 203 can be provided on the front body 202 and the bumper 201 respectively, and the fixing parts 203 are used to fix the radar branch line 11b to the front body 202 and the bumper 201 respectively.

[0053] The above settings can restrict the routing path of radar branch line 11b to avoid interference between radar branch line 11b and other components, thereby improving the installation stability of radar branch line 11b and enhancing the design rationality of wiring harness assembly 100.

[0054] In some embodiments of this invention, the fixing part 203 can be configured as a snap-fit ​​structure, and the radar branch line 11b is used to snap into the fixing part 203. This reduces the installation difficulty of the radar branch line 11b and helps save labor costs.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, the front body 202 and the bumper 201 are respectively provided with fixing parts 203. The length of the radar branch line 11b between the two fixing parts 203 is L, the minimum straight-line distance between the two fixing parts 203 is H, and the minimum distance between the installation position of the radar probe 22 and the rear side wall of the end of the bumper 201 is W, satisfying: L=H+0.7W+K, where the parameter K ranges from 80mm to 120mm.

[0056] For example, refer to Figure 1As shown, fixing parts 203 can be provided on the front body 202 and the bumper 201. The fixing part 203 on the front body 202 is fixedly engaged with the radar branch line 11b to fix the radar branch line 11b to the front body 202. The fixing part 203 on the bumper 201 is fixedly engaged with the radar branch line 11b to fix the radar branch line 11b to the bumper 201. The length of the radar branch line 11b between the two fixing parts 203 can be set as L, the minimum straight-line distance between the two fixing parts 203 can be set as H, and the minimum distance between the installation position of the radar probe 22 and the rear side wall of the end of the bumper 201 can be set as W, satisfying: L=H+0.7W+K, where the parameter K ranges from 80mm to 120mm. It should be noted that the minimum distance between the installation position of the radar probe 22 and the rear side wall of the end of the bumper 201 refers to the minimum distance between the installation position of the radar probe 22 and the plane containing the rear side wall of the end of the bumper 201.

[0057] In other words, the length L of the radar branch line 11b between the two fixed parts 203 is equal to the sum of the minimum straight-line distance H between the two fixed parts 203, 0.7 times the minimum distance W between the installation position of the radar probe 22 and the rear side wall of the end of the bumper 201, and parameter K. For example, parameter K can be 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, etc. Preferably, parameter K can be 100mm.

[0058] The above settings allow the radar branch line 11b to have sufficient length, making it easier to connect to the radar probe 22, reducing installation difficulty, and preventing the radar branch line 11b from being too long and difficult to arrange, thus improving the design rationality of the wiring harness assembly 100.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, the minimum distance between the end of the radar branch line 11b and the fixing part 203 is not less than 30mm. For example, a connector 112 can be provided at one end of the radar branch line 11b, which is used to connect to the radar probe 22. The bumper 201 is provided with a fixing part 203, and the minimum distance between the fixing part 203 and the connector 112 can be set to be not less than 30mm, such as 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, etc.

[0060] The above-mentioned configuration can prevent the fixing part 203 from interfering with the installation and arrangement of the radar branch line 11b, reduce the installation difficulty of the radar branch line 11b, and improve the design rationality of the wiring harness assembly 100.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the connecting branch line 11 includes a wiring harness body 111 and a connector 112. The connector 112 is plugged into and connected to the detection element 2. In the height direction of the vehicle head 200, the connector 112 is set higher than the wiring harness body 111. With the above arrangement, when liquid (such as rainwater) flows to the wiring harness assembly 100, it can prevent the liquid from flowing along the wiring harness body 111 to the connector 112 and causing water ingress and short circuit in the detection element 2, which is beneficial to improving the waterproof performance of the wiring harness assembly 100 and improving the reliability of the wiring harness assembly 100.

[0062] In some embodiments of this invention, at least a portion of the wire harness body 111 is formed as an upward-facing bend to guide liquid flow to the lowermost end of the bend. Preferably, the middle portion of the wire harness body 111 may be bent downwards to form the bend. Specifically, when liquid flows to the connecting branch line 11, under the action of gravity, the liquid can flow along the connecting branch line 11 to the lowermost end of the bend, where it converges and drips downwards.

[0063] The above settings can prevent liquid from flowing along the wire harness body 111 to the connector 112, which would cause the detection element 2 to short-circuit due to water ingress, thus improving the waterproof performance of the wire harness assembly 100.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting branch line 11 also includes a protective sleeve 113, which is sleeved on the outside of the wire harness body 111. For example, the protective sleeve 113 can be a corrugated tube with high wear resistance, which is sleeved on the outside of the wire harness body 111 and connected to the wire harness body 111, such as by connecting the corrugated tube to the wire harness body 111 with PVC tape.

[0065] The above settings can prevent wear on the connecting branch line 11, thus improving its service life and the practicality of the wiring harness assembly 100.

[0066] In some aspects of this invention, an assembly space may be provided above the fixing part 203, and the vertical dimension of the assembly space may be not less than 80mm. For example, the vertical dimension of the assembly space may be 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, etc. Through the above settings, sufficient operating space can be reserved for the installation of the radar branch line 11b, which helps to reduce the installation difficulty of the radar branch line 11b.

[0067] This utility model also proposes a vehicle 1000.

[0068] The vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a wiring harness assembly 100 according to any of the above embodiments.

[0069] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the wiring harness assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 has a simple structure and low overall cost, which helps to reduce the cost of the vehicle 1000 and improve the competitiveness of the vehicle 1000.
