[0014] In an optional embodiment, the automatic wire harness retractor further includes a detection switch disposed on the wire coiler and corresponding to the outlet. When the detection switch detects the head of the power supply wire harness, the rotary drive source can stop operating.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the detection switch includes a tactile switch, which, when pressed, stops the rotary drive source.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the cable reel is a hollow cylindrical shape, with the mounting port and the cable threading port located on opposite end walls of the cable reel, and the cable outlet located on the peripheral side wall of the cable reel.

[0033] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a detailed description of some embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0034] This application discloses an automatic wire harness organizer, which is mainly used in vehicles to connect the vehicle's power supply and the child safety seat installed in the vehicle. This allows the vehicle's power supply to provide power to the child safety seat, ensuring the normal operation of some electronic devices on the child safety seat.

[0035] The automatic wire harness retractor includes a coiler 100, a rotary drive 200, and a power supply wire harness 300. The coiler 100 has a receiving cavity and an installation port 121, a cable outlet 111, and a cable threading port 112 communicating with the receiving cavity. The rotary drive 200 includes a rotary drive source and a rotator 220 connected to the rotary drive source. The rotator 220 is rotatably disposed in the coiler 100 and extends into the receiving cavity through the installation port 121. The rotary drive source is used to drive the rotator 220 to rotate relative to the coiler 100. The power supply wire harness 300 is partially housed in the receiving cavity and wound around the rotator 220. The head 310 of the power supply wire harness 300 extends out from the cable outlet 111 and is slidable relative to the cable outlet 111. The tail 320 of the power supply wire harness 300 is fixedly threaded through the rotator 220 and extends out from the cable threading port 112 for connecting to the vehicle power supply.

[0036] Thus, in this embodiment, the power supply cable harness 300 is housed by a coiler 100. Since the power supply cable harness 300 is fixed to the rotator 220, when the rotator 220 rotates relative to the coiler 100 under the drive of the rotation drive source, the power supply cable harness 300 is also carried to rotate around the central axis of the rotator 220. Therefore, the user can control the direction of rotation of the rotator 220 by the rotation drive 200 to correspondingly wind the power supply cable harness 300 onto the rotator 220 or unwind it. When the power supply harness 300 is released as the rotator 220 rotates, the user can pinch the head 310 of the power supply harness 300 and pull it out to connect to the power interface of the child safety seat to provide power. When the power supply harness 300 is wound and retracted as the rotator 220 rotates, the length of the power supply harness 300 exposed outside the receiving cavity decreases, thus achieving the effect of automatic storage of the power supply harness 300, preventing the phenomenon of tangling and messiness caused by excessive exposure, and ensuring the cleanliness of the vehicle interior.

[0037] The coiler 100 can be a hollow cylinder as shown in the figure. The mounting port 121 and the wire insertion port 112 are located on the opposite end walls of the coiler 100, and the wire outlet 111 is located on the peripheral side wall of the coiler 100, so as to facilitate assembly and ensure the smoothness and uniformity of the power supply wire harness 300 winding on the rotator 220.

[0038] Specifically, the cable reel 100 includes a base box 110 and an upper cover plate 120 installed on the open side of the base box 110. A cable pass-through port 112 is provided on the bottom wall of the base box 110 opposite to the upper cover plate 120, and a cable outlet port 111 is provided on the peripheral side wall of the base box 110. The upper cover plate 120 is provided with an installation port 121. In this way, during assembly, the rotator 220 can be first passed through the installation port 121, and then the power supply harness 300 can be passed through the rotator 220. After that, the upper cover plate 120 is fixed to the open side of the base box 110, which makes the assembly simple.

[0039] The coiler 100 has a positioning post 113 located in the receiving cavity, that is, the bottom box 110 is provided with a positioning post 113. The rotator 220 is rotatably fitted onto the positioning post 113. In this way, the positioning post 113 plays a limiting role, which not only restricts the position of the rotator 220, but also allows the power supply harness 300 to be distributed on the outside of the positioning post 113 when it is wound and retracted, so as to prevent the power supply harness 300 from overflowing from the wire insertion port 112.

[0040] Specifically, the positioning post 113 has a hollow structure, and the mounting port 121 and the wire threading port 112 are coaxial with the coiler 100. The inner cavity of the positioning post 113 is connected to the wire threading port 112, and the tail 320 of the power supply harness 300 extends from the outlet port 111, which makes the overall structure of the automatic harness organizer more compact and smaller in size.

[0041] The rotational drive source includes, but is not limited to, a motor 210. The rotator 220 includes a coupling 221 and a stop plate 222 connected to one end of the coupling 221. The coupling 221 extends into the receiving cavity from the mounting port 121 and is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the positioning post 113. The stop plate 222 is slidably placed on the outer wall of the coiler 100 and connected to the output shaft of the motor 210. The coupling 221 is provided with a through hole, and the power supply harness 300 is fixedly inserted through the through hole, thus enabling the rotator 220 to be rotatably set relative to the coiler 100.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the automatic wire harness retractor also includes a detection switch, which is located in the coiler 100 and corresponds to the outlet 111. When the detection switch detects the head 310 of the power supply wire harness 300, the rotation drive source can stop running. This achieves the effect of the motor 210 automatically stopping after the power supply wire harness 300 is in place during the winding and retraction process.

[0043] In detail, the detection switch includes a tactile switch 400. When the tactile switch 400 is pressed, the rotary drive source can stop running. Thus, if the tactile switch 400 is pressed by the head 310 of the power supply harness 300 or manually touched and pressed by the user during the operation of the motor 210, the motor 210 can be stopped.

[0044] Of course, it is understandable that, in order to achieve automation, the motor 210 and the tactile switch 400 are both electrically connected to a controller, which may be a vehicle controller.

[0045] The working principle of the automatic wire harness organizer in this embodiment is illustrated below:

[0046] When the controller inputs positive current to the motor 210, the motor 210 drives the coupling 221 to rotate forward. The coupling 221 drives the charging cable harness to retract, winding the charging cable harness onto the post. The head 310 of the power supply cable harness 300 is thicker than the cable itself, so when the power supply cable harness 300 is almost completely retracted, it will rub against the tactile switch 400 next to the cable outlet 111. The controller receives the closing information from the tactile switch 400, and therefore controls the motor 210 to disconnect the power supply and stop working, and the cable winding stops. Alternatively, the user can directly click the tactile switch 400 to turn off the motor.

[0047] When the controller inputs a negative current to the motor 210, the motor 210 drives the coupling 221 to reverse, and the coupling 221 drives the power supply harness 300 to expand. The power supply harness 300 is then released, and the user can pull out the corresponding power supply harness 300 to supply power. During the pulling process, the user can press the tactile switch 400 at any time. When the controller receives the closing information from the tactile switch 400, it will disconnect the power supply to the motor 210, and the motor 210 will stop working accordingly.

[0048] This application also discloses a vehicle, which includes a power supply, a child safety seat, and an automatic wiring harness retractor as described in the above embodiments. The tail 320 of the power supply harness 300 is connected to the power supply, and the head 310 of the power supply harness 300 is connected to the power interface of the child safety seat.

[0049] In summary, this application discloses an automatic wire harness organizer and a vehicle. A wire coiler 100 is used to house the power supply wire harness 300. Since the power supply wire harness 300 is fixed to the rotator 220, when the rotator 220 rotates relative to the wire coiler 100 under the drive of a rotational drive source, the power supply wire harness 300 is also carried to rotate around the central axis of the rotator 220. Therefore, the user can control the direction of rotation of the rotator 220 by the rotational drive 200 to correspondingly wind the power supply wire harness 300 around the rotator 220. When the power supply harness 300 is released as the rotator 220 rotates, the user can pinch the head 310 of the power supply harness 300 and pull it out to connect to the power interface of the child safety seat to provide power. When the power supply harness 300 is wound and retracted as the rotator 220 rotates, the length of the power supply harness 300 exposed outside the receiving cavity decreases, thus achieving the effect of automatic storage of the power supply harness 300, preventing the phenomenon of tangling and messiness caused by excessive exposure, and ensuring the cleanliness of the vehicle interior.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
