[0002] To protect the wiring harnesses of rail vehicles, cable trays are typically installed on the vehicle, covering the wiring harnesses. However, when designing and installing these cable trays, their shape must be compatible with the wiring harness's routing and the layout of the surrounding space to avoid interference between the cable trays and surrounding components. For example, for wiring harnesses located at the bottom of the rail vehicle, cable trays are installed at the bottom of the car body, with the cable trays running through the vehicle. To avoid obstructing the underframe sleeper beam area and the bogie's motion envelope, the cable trays need to be designed with a special shape.

Since the wire harness routing and the layout of the surrounding space are different for each model and even each rail vehicle, the required shape of the wire groove is different. It is necessary to design wire grooves and stamping molds of corresponding shapes, resulting in poor interchangeability and high processing costs.

[0032] The embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0033] The embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application. Figures 1 to 9 The wire slot modular structure of the present application is described below.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 to 9 The wire slot modular structure provided by the embodiments of the present application includes at least two wire slot assemblies 1, and each wire slot assembly 1 includes two wire slot modules 2.

[0035] Specifically, each wire slot module 2 has a wire passing channel for wire harness to pass through, and the wire passing channels of the two adjacent wire slot modules 2 are correspondingly communicated.

[0036] The two ends of any one wire slot assembly 1 can be rotatably connected with the ends of the remaining wire slot assemblies 1, so that the wire slot assemblies 1 can be connected in series, and any two adjacent wire slot assemblies 1 can rotate relative to each other, and the relative rotation axes of any two adjacent wire slot assemblies 1 are arranged along the reference direction, so that the wire slot formed by connecting the wire slot assemblies 1 can be deformed in a first plane, and the first plane is perpendicular to the reference direction, and the reference direction is indicated by the direction of m in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 .

[0037] The two wire slot modules 2 of the wire slot assembly 1 are rotatably connected, and the relative rotation axes of the two wire slot modules 2 are perpendicular to the reference direction. Thus, the wire slot formed by connecting the wire slot assemblies 1 can be deformed in a second plane or a second curved surface, and the second plane and the second curved surface are parallel to the reference direction.

[0038] In this way, the modular design of the wire slot is realized, and the number of wire slot assemblies 1 can be selected according to the length of the target wire slot. The selected wire slot assemblies 1 can be rotatably connected in series to form a target wire slot with the desired length. The target wire slot can be deformed in two different planes, and can be straight, planar curved, or spatially curved. The deformability of the target wire slot is improved, and the shape and length of the target wire slot can be adjusted as required, improving the interchangeability of the wire slot and reducing costs. The problem of the shape and length of the wire slot in the related art cannot be adjusted as required is solved.

[0040] The locking assembly 3 can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking assembly 3 is switched to the unlocked state, the two wire slot modules 2 corresponding to the locking assembly 3 can rotate relative to each other, and at this time, the target wire slot can be deformed at the position of the locking assembly 3. When the locking assembly 3 is switched to the locked state, the two wire slot modules 2 corresponding to the locking assembly 3 are relatively fixed, and at this time, the target wire slot cannot be deformed at the position of the locking assembly 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 3 comprises a connecting bolt and a connecting nut, the connecting bolt penetrates one end of the two adjacent wire slot modules 2, and the connecting nut is in threaded connection with the connecting bolt.

[0042] The connecting nut is screwed with the connecting bolt, and the relative rotation of the two wire slot modules 2 can be limited by the extrusion force and friction force between the connecting nut and the wire slot module 2 and the extrusion force and friction force between the connecting bolt and the wire slot module 2 at this time, which corresponds to the locking state of the locking assembly 3.

[0043] The connecting nut is unscrewed from the connecting bolt, and the extrusion force and friction force between the connecting nut and the wire slot module 2 and the extrusion force and friction force between the connecting bolt and the wire slot module 2 no longer exist, so that the two wire slot modules 2 can rotate relative to each other at this time, which corresponds to the unlocking state of the locking assembly 3.

[0044] In this way, the connecting bolt and the connecting nut not only realize the effect of the locking assembly 3, but also realize the rotation connection of the two adjacent wire slot assemblies 1, and the structure is simplified.

[0045] In order to increase the locking force of the locking assembly 3 and improve the reliability and stability of the locking assembly 3, a gasket can also be arranged between the connecting bolt and the wire slot module 2 and between the connecting nut and the wire slot module 2.

The guide column 11 penetrates the guide groove 10, and the guide column 11 can reciprocate in the guide groove 10 along the circular arc.

[0048] The guide groove 10 can be arranged in one of the two adjacent wire slot modules 2, and the guide column 11 can be arranged in the other. The guide groove 10 can also be arranged on both of the two adjacent wire slot modules 2, the guide column 11 penetrates the guide grooves 10 of the two wire slot modules 2, and limiting parts are arranged at both ends of the guide column 11 to limit the guide column 11 from coming out of the guide groove 10.

[0049] It should be noted that, in order to avoid the influence of the limiting guide structure on the disassembly of the adjacent wire slot assembly 1, the limiting guide structure can be arranged only between the two wire slot modules 2 of each wire slot assembly 1, and the limiting guide structure is not configured for the rotation connection of the two adjacent wire slot assemblies 1.
