Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to a quick-release structure for the wiring harness of an automotive seat side armrest. Background Technology

[0002] As automotive intelligence and comfort continue to improve, more and more electronic devices are integrated into car seat side armrests, such as control buttons, lights, and sensors. These electronic devices need to be connected to the seat or vehicle's electrical system via wiring harnesses. However, traditional armrest wiring harness connections are often complex and inconvenient, with disassembly and installation processes being time-consuming, laborious, and prone to damaging the wiring harness. For example, current car seat side armrest designs typically fix the wiring harness directly inside the armrest or backrest. This results in complex operations to disconnect and reconnect the wiring harness during installation, maintenance, or replacement of the armrest, which is not only time-consuming and laborious but also prone to damaging the wiring harness or causing poor connections. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model aims to provide a quick-release structure for the wiring harness of a car seat side armrest, so as to simplify the wiring harness connection process, improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency, and thus facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the seat side armrest.

[0004] This utility model proposes a quick-release structure for the wiring harness of a car seat side armrest, including an armrest assembly and a backrest assembly. The armrest assembly includes an armrest pivot and an armrest wiring harness, and the backrest assembly includes a backrest side panel and a backrest wiring harness. The armrest pivot is rotatably connected to the backrest side panel. The armrest pivot has a hollow structure. One end of the armrest wiring harness extends into the armrest pivot and is connected to a female wiring harness terminal. The female wiring harness terminal is snapped into the end of the armrest pivot near the backrest side panel and hidden inside the port. One end of the backrest wiring harness is connected to a male wiring harness terminal. The male wiring harness terminal is fixed to the inner wall of the backrest side panel and corresponds to the position of the armrest pivot. The backrest side panel has a through hole for the armrest pivot to pass through. The armrest pivot extends into the inner side of the backrest side panel through the through hole, so that the female wiring harness terminal and the male wiring harness terminal are inserted together.

[0005] In the above scheme: a terminal base is welded on the inner wall of the backrest side plate. The terminal base is a central hole structure with open ends and communicating with through holes. A terminal shell is snapped and fixed inside the terminal base. The terminal shell is also a central hole structure with open ends. The female terminal and male terminal of the wire harness are respectively snapped to the two ends of the terminal shell and inserted together inside the terminal shell. The terminal shell serves as an auxiliary connecting part, with a simple structure and convenient assembly.

[0006] In the above solution: the terminal housing is provided with limiting structures to prevent the female and male terminals of the wire harness from being over-inserted, so as to improve the safety of the connection between the female and male terminals of the wire harness.

[0007] In the above scheme: the limiting structure is a sinking platform, which is simple in structure and easy to design.

[0008] In the above solution: the wire harness female terminal and the handrail pivot are provided with an anti-rotation structure and an anti-detachment structure to ensure the stability of the connection between the two, and at the same time ensure that the wire harness female terminal can rotate together with the handrail pivot.

[0009] In the above solution: an anti-rotation structure is provided between the male terminal of the wire harness and the terminal housing to prevent the female terminal of the wire harness from driving the male terminal of the wire harness to rotate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. By installing female terminals on the armrest pivot and male terminals on the backrest side panel, the two terminals can quickly connect when the armrest pivot and backrest side panel are assembled, and quickly separate when the armrest pivot and backrest side panel are disassembled. This structure enables rapid assembly and disassembly of the armrest wiring harness, facilitating quick and easy installation and removal of the seat side armrests, greatly improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly and the convenience of maintenance. 2. The female terminals of the wiring harness adopt an embedded, concealed design, which not only saves installation space but also makes the seat appearance cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing. 3. It ensures the safety of the wiring harness during assembly and disassembly, avoiding damage or poor connection caused by improper operation. 4. It simplifies the replacement and upgrade process of the seat side armrests, allowing users to easily adjust the seat configuration according to their personal preferences and needs.
