Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a cable structure and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the unlocking method for vehicle hoods is usually a cable unlocking method. One end of the cable is connected to the hood's locking mechanism, and the other end is connected to the unlocking handle inside the front compartment. When the occupant pulls the unlocking handle inside the front compartment, the cable pulls the hood's locking mechanism to unlock it.

[0003] The locking mechanism is located in the front compartment of the vehicle, while the unlocking handles are located in the passenger compartment. The spatial distance between the locking mechanism and the unlocking handles is relatively large, requiring a relatively long cable for connection. However, the parts in the front compartment are arranged quite compactly, and the cable installation needs to avoid these parts. Using a long cable would make assembly operations in the front compartment inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0037] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0038] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cable structure, including a mounting assembly 1, a first cable 2, and a second cable 3. The mounting assembly 1 includes a first mounting member 12 and a second mounting member 13 spaced apart along a first direction. The first mounting member 12 has a first through hole 121, and the second mounting member 13 has a second through hole 131. One end of the first cable 2 has a first connecting portion 23, and one end of the second cable 3 has a second connecting portion 33. The first cable 2 passes through the first through hole 121, and the second cable 3 passes through the second through hole 131. The first connecting portion 23 and the second connecting portion 33 are connected. Part 33 is located between and connected to the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13; the projected area of ​​the first connecting part 23 on the first mounting member 12 along the first direction is greater than the area of ​​the first through hole 121, or the projected area of ​​the second connecting part 33 on the second mounting member 13 along the first direction is greater than the area of ​​the second through hole 131; or the projected area of ​​the first connecting part 23 on the first mounting member 12 along the first direction is greater than the area of ​​the first through hole 121, and the projected area of ​​the second connecting part 33 on the second mounting member 13 along the first direction is greater than the area of ​​the second through hole 131.

[0040] Specifically, the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 can be optionally mounted on the vehicle's frame structure 4, and the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other, with the direction of the first mounting member 12 toward the second mounting member 13 being the first direction. Alternatively, the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 can be connected to the base plate 11, with the length direction of the base plate 11 in the same direction as the first direction, and the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 connected to the two ends of the base plate 11 along the first direction, connecting the base plate 11 to the vehicle's frame structure 4.

[0041] The first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 mentioned above can both be rectangular straight plates, or they can be block structures. Of course, they are not limited to other irregular structures, as long as the first through hole 121 can be set on the first mounting member 12 and the second through hole 131 can be set on the second mounting member 13, so that the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 33 can be restricted between the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 after they are connected.

[0042] The first mounting member 12 can be provided with a through hole that extends through the first mounting member 12 in the first direction as a first through hole 121, and the second mounting member 13 can be provided with a through hole that extends through the second mounting member 13 in the first direction as a second through hole 131. The first through hole 121 and the second through hole 131 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, or the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 131 can be arranged to intersect each other in the first direction.

[0043] The first cable 2 and the second cable 3 mentioned above can be a double-layer structure, with an inner layer being a wire and an outer layer being a sleeve. The sleeve is fitted over the outside of the wire, and the wire can move relative to the sleeve along the extension direction of the sleeve. One end of the wire of the first cable 2 is provided with a first connecting part 23, and one end of the wire of the second cable 3 is provided with a second connecting part 33. Alternatively, the outer sleeves of the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 can be respectively inserted into the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 131. The movement of the wire relative to the sleeve can cause the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 to move together relative to the mounting component 1. Alternatively, the inner wires of the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 can be respectively inserted into the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 131.

[0044] The aforementioned vehicle frame structure 4 can be selected as the frame of the front compartment of the vehicle. A locking structure 41 is mounted on the frame structure 4. The vehicle's hood is fitted onto the frame structure 4 and connected to the locking structure 41. When locked, the locking structure 41 is connected to the vehicle's hood, preventing it from moving. When unlocked, the locking structure 41 disengages from the vehicle's hood, allowing the hood to move relative to the frame structure 4. Alternatively, the frame structure 4 can be selected as the frame near the rear of the vehicle. The locking structure 41 is mounted on the frame structure 4, and the vehicle's trunk lid is fitted onto the frame structure 4 and connected to the locking structure 41. The locking structure 41 is connected to the vehicle's trunk lid when locked, preventing the trunk lid from moving. When the locking structure 41 is unlocked, it disengages from the trunk lid, allowing the trunk lid to move relative to the frame structure 4. Alternatively, the frame structure 4 can be a frame near the vehicle's fuel filler cap, with the locking structure 41 mounted on it. A movable cover is installed at the fuel filler cap, which closes onto the frame structure 4 and is connected to the locking structure 41. When the locking structure 41 is locked, the movable cover cannot move. When the locking structure 41 is unlocked, it disengages from the movable cover, allowing the movable cover to connect relative to the frame structure 4.

[0045] The first mounting component 12 and the second mounting component 13 are installed at a predetermined position on the frame structure 4. When the projected area of ​​the first connecting part 23 is larger than the area of ​​the first through hole 121, the first cable 2 is first passed through the first through hole 121, so that the first connecting part 23 is restricted between the first mounting component 12 and the second mounting component 13. That is, the first cable 2 is pre-positioned at a predetermined position in the front compartment of the vehicle. The staff can then retrieve the second cable 3 and pass it through the second through hole 131, and connect the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 33 to realize the assembly operation of the first cable 2 and the second cable 3.

[0046] Alternatively, the projected area of ​​the second connecting part 33 can be larger than the area of ​​the second through hole 131. The second cable 3 can be first inserted into the second through hole 131, so that the second connecting part 33 is restricted between the first mounting part 12 and the second mounting part 13. That is, the second cable 3 is pre-positioned in the front compartment of the vehicle, and the staff can take the first cable 2 and insert the first cable 2 into the first through hole 121, and connect the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 33 to realize the assembly operation of the first cable 2 and the second cable 3.

[0047] Alternatively, the projected area of ​​the first connecting part 23 can be larger than the area of ​​the first through hole 121, and the projected area of ​​the second connecting part 33 can be larger than the area of ​​the second through hole 131. In this case, the first cable 2 can be threaded through the first through hole 121 first, so that the first cable 2 is pre-positioned in a predetermined position in the front compartment of the vehicle, and then the second cable 3 can be threaded through the second through hole 131, so that the second cable 3 is pre-positioned in a predetermined position in the vehicle. Alternatively, the second cable 3 can be threaded through the second through hole 131 first, so that the second cable 3 is pre-positioned in a predetermined position in the front compartment of the vehicle, and then the first cable 2 can be threaded through the first through hole 121, so that the first cable 2 is pre-positioned in a predetermined position in the vehicle.

[0048] The end of the first cable 2 away from the first connecting part 23 is connected to the lock structure 41, so that when the first cable 2 pulls the lock structure 41, it can drive the lock structure 41 to unlock. The end of the second cable 3 away from the second connecting part 33 is connected to the unlocking handle. When the unlocking handle is pulled, it can drive the second cable 3 to move. The first cable 2 and the second cable 3 are connected through the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 33, so that when the user pulls the unlocking handle, the second cable 3 drives the first cable 2 to move, thereby unlocking the lock structure 41. The unlocking handle can be installed in the driver's cabin of the vehicle for the convenience of the user to pull the unlocking handle.

[0049] The aforementioned unlocking handle can be a movable part installed in the driver's cabin of the vehicle. The unlocking handle is connected to the second cable 3. When the user pulls the unlocking handle, the unlocking handle drives the second cable 3 to move. The movement of the second cable 3 drives the first cable 2 to move, thereby unlocking the lock structure 41. This allows the user to control the unlocking operation of the lock structure 41 by pulling the unlocking handle.

[0050] Traditionally, a long cable is used to install in the front compartment of a vehicle. One end of the cable is connected to the locking structure 41, and the other end is connected to the unlocking handle in the driver's compartment. Since there are many parts in the front compartment, the long cable needs to be bent multiple times to fit between the parts. The cable itself has low plasticity, and when the cable is laid in the front compartment, the repeated bending of the cable will cause the cable parts to move in the front compartment. This requires the staff to reposition the cable multiple times to ensure that the cable avoids the parts in the front compartment. This application uses a method of connecting the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 to each other, which makes the cable laying more flexible. The first cable 2 or the second cable 3 can be pre-positioned and installed on the mounting component 1, which facilitates the positioning of the cable structure in the front compartment of the vehicle and makes it easier for the staff to lay the first cable 2 and the second cable 3.

[0051] In specific use of the cable structure provided in this embodiment, when assembling the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 in the front compartment of the vehicle, the mounting component 1 is first connected to the set position of the frame structure 4, and the second cable 3 is passed through the second through hole 131, so that the second connecting part 33 is restricted between the first mounting part 12 and the second mounting part 13. The end of the second cable 3 away from the second connecting part 33 is connected to the unlocking cable, so that the second cable 3 is pre-positioned in the front compartment of the vehicle. After the second cable 3 is pre-positioned, the operator picks up the first cable 2 and passes it through the first through hole 121, connecting the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 33. The end of the first cable 2 away from the first connecting part 23 is connected to the lock structure 41. The user pulls the unlocking handle to move the second cable 3 relative to the second mounting part 13 in the first direction. The second cable 3 drives the first cable 2 to move relative to the first mounting part 12 in the first direction, so that the first cable 2 drives the lock structure 41 to unlock.

[0052] The cable structure provided in this embodiment includes a mounting assembly 1, a first cable 2, and a second cable 3. The mounting assembly 1 includes a first mounting member 12 and a second mounting member 13 spaced apart along a first direction. The first mounting member 12 has a first through hole 121, and the second mounting member 13 has a second through hole 131. One end of the first cable 2 has a first connecting portion 23, and one end of the second cable 3 has a second connecting portion 33. The first cable 2 passes through the first through hole 121, and the second cable 3 passes through the second through hole 131. The first connecting portion 23 and the second connecting portion 33 are connected in the second through hole 131. 3 is located between and connected to the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13; the projected area of ​​the first connecting part 23 on the first mounting member 12 along the first direction is greater than the area of ​​the first through hole 121, or the projected area of ​​the second connecting part 33 on the second mounting member 13 along the first direction is greater than the area of ​​the first through hole 121; or the projected area of ​​the first connecting part 23 on the first mounting member 12 along the first direction is greater than the area of ​​the first through hole 121, and the projected area of ​​the second connecting part 33 on the second mounting member 13 along the first direction is greater than the area of ​​the first through hole 121. When assembling the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 in the front compartment of the vehicle, the operator can first thread one of the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 through the first through hole 121 or the second through hole 131, so that the first connecting part 23 or the second connecting part 33 is limited between the first mounting part 12 and the second mounting part 13. This allows one of the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 to be pre-positioned on the mounting component 1, thereby positioning the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 in the front compartment and facilitating the operator to connect the other cable to the pre-positioned cable on the mounting component 1. This improves the ease of operation of the cable structure for unlocking the hood in the front compartment of the vehicle.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first cable 2 includes a first cable core 22 and a first fixing head 24. One end of the first cable core 22 is connected to the first connecting part 23, and the other end is connected to the lock structure. The first cable core 22 passes through the first through hole 121, and the first fixing head 24 is movably connected to the first cable core 22. The second cable 3 includes a second cable core 32 and a second fixing head 34. One end of the second connecting part 33 is connected to the second connecting part 33, and the other end is connected to the unlocking handle. The second cable core 32 passes through the second through hole 131, and the second fixing head 34 is movably connected to the second cable core 32. The first fixing head 24 is engaged in the first through hole 121, and the second fixing head 34 is engaged in the second through hole 131. With this configuration, the first fixing head 24 positions the first cable core 22 and the first mounting member 12, keeping the first cable core 22 in the state of passing through the first through hole 121. The second fixing head 34 positions the second cable core 32 and the second mounting member 13, keeping the second cable core 32 in the state of passing through the second through hole 131, facilitating the connection between the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 33 between the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13.

[0054] Specifically, the first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32 can both be metal cables. One end of the first cable core 22 can be welded to the first connecting part 23, and one end of the second cable core 32 can be welded to the second connecting part 33. Alternatively, the first cable core 22 and the first connecting part 23 can be an integrated structure, and the second cable core 32 and the second connecting part 33 can be an integrated structure.

[0055] The first fixing head 24 can be a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior forming a channel. The first cable core 22 passes through the channel inside the first fixing head 24, and one end of the first cable core 22 with a first connecting part 23 extends out of the first fixing head 24. The second fixing head 34 is also a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior forming a channel. The second cable core 32 passes through the channel inside the second fixing head 34, and one end of the second cable core 32 with a second connecting part 33 extends out of the second fixing head 34. The first fixing head 24 is snapped into the first through hole 121, and the second fixing head 34 is snapped into the second through hole 131, so that the first connecting part 23 and the second connecting part 33 are located between the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13.

[0056] The first fixing head 24 can optionally be provided with an annular groove. The diameter of the first fixing head 24 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole 121, and the diameter of the circle formed by the bottom of the annular groove is smaller than the diameter of the first through hole 121. The first mounting member 12 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the first fixing head 24 to pass through the first through hole 121. This allows the area of ​​the first mounting member 12 located at the edge of the first through hole 121 to enter the annular groove, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​operation between the first fixing head 24 and the first through hole 121. The second fixing head 34 can optionally be provided with an annular groove. The diameter of the second fixing head 34 is larger than the diameter of the second through hole 131, and the diameter of the circle formed by the bottom of the annular groove is smaller than the diameter of the second through hole 131. The second mounting member 13 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the second fixing head 34 to pass through the second through hole 131. This allows the area of ​​the second mounting member 13 located at the edge of the second through hole 131 to enter the annular groove, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​operation between the second fixing head 34 and the second through hole 131.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a first sleeve 21 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the first cable core 22, and the end of the first sleeve 21 near the first connecting part 23 is connected to the first fixing head 24; a second sleeve 31 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the second cable core 32, and the end of the second sleeve 31 near the second connecting part 33 is connected to the second fixing head 34. This arrangement ensures that the first fixing head 24 protects the end of the first sleeve 21, and the second fixing head 34 protects the end of the second sleeve 31. The first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 31 do not affect the movement of the second cable core 32 in driving the first cable core 22, thus protecting the first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32 and reducing wear on the first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32.

[0058] Specifically, the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 31 are tube structures with internal channels. The first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32 are steel cables or wires. The first cable core 22 is threaded through the channel inside the first sleeve 21, and the second cable core 32 is threaded through the channel inside the second sleeve 31, so that the first cable core 22 can move along the channel inside the first sleeve 21, and the second cable core 32 can move along the channel inside the second sleeve 31.

[0059] One end of the first cable core 22 is connected to the lock structure 41, and the other end is connected to the first connecting part 23, so that the first sleeve 21 is between the lock structure 41 and the first connecting part 23; one end of the second cable core 32 is connected to the unlocking handle, and the other end is connected to the second connecting part 33, so that the second sleeve 31 is between the unlocking handle and the second connecting part 33. When the user pulls the unlocking handle, it causes the second cable core 32 to move relative to the second sleeve 31. The movement of the second cable core 32 causes the first cable core 22 to move relative to the first sleeve 21, thereby causing the first cable core 22 to pull the lock structure 41 to unlock.

[0060] The ends of the first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32 extend out of the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 31, respectively, so that the first connecting part 23 is located at one end of the first cable core 22 and the second connecting part 33 is located at one end of the second cable core 32. The first fixing head 24 can be a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior. The end of the first sleeve 21 near the first connecting part 23 is inserted into the interior of the cylindrical structure and connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical structure, so that the first fixing head 24 is fitted onto one end of the first sleeve 21. The second fixing head 34 is a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior. The end of the second sleeve 31 near the second connecting part 33 is inserted into the interior of the cylindrical structure and connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical structure, so that the second fixing head 34 is fitted onto one end of the second sleeve 31. Alternatively, the first sleeve 21 and the first fixing head 24 can be bonded together, and the second sleeve 31 and the second fixing head 34 can be bonded together.

[0061] After the first fixing head 24 is engaged with the first through hole 121, the first sleeve 21 is located on the side of the first mounting member 12 facing away from the second mounting member 13 along the first direction; after the second fixing head 34 is engaged with the second through hole 131, the second sleeve 31 is located on the side of the second mounting member 13 facing away from the first mounting member 12 along the first direction.

[0062] When the first cable core 22 moves, it will not cause the first sleeve 21 to move, and when the second cable core 32 moves, it will not cause the second sleeve 31 to move. This ensures that when the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 31 come into contact with parts in the front compartment of the vehicle, the movement of the first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32 will not cause friction with the parts in the front compartment of the vehicle, so that the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 31 can respectively protect the first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting assembly 1 further includes a base plate 11 for connection to the vehicle's frame structure 4. A first mounting member 12 and a second mounting member 13 are mounted on the base plate 11, and are positioned opposite each other along a first direction and spaced apart. This configuration allows the mounting assembly 1 to be installed on the frame structure 4 by connecting the base plate 11, improving the ease of installation. Furthermore, the structure of the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 connected to the base plate 11 is simple and has low manufacturing costs.

[0064] Specifically, the base plate 11 can be a rectangular plate, and the length direction of the base plate 11 is the first direction. The first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 can both be perpendicular to the base plate 11, and the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 are spaced apart along the length direction of the base plate 11 on one side of the base plate 11, and the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 are parallel to each other.

[0065] The base plate 11 can be provided with through holes or screw holes, and bolts can be used to connect it to the vehicle frame structure 4 through the through holes or screw holes on the base plate 11; alternatively, the side of the base plate 11 facing away from the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 can be welded to the frame structure 4 to connect the base plate 11 to the frame structure, thereby fixing the mounting assembly 1 to a set position in the front compartment of the vehicle.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the base plate 11 is provided with a positioning member 14, which is inserted into a process hole at a set position on the frame structure 4.

[0067] Specifically, the frame structure 4 has multiple process holes after manufacturing and processing, at least one of which is located at a set position on the frame structure 4. When the positioning member 14 is inserted into the process hole, the mounting component 1 can be placed at the set position on the frame structure 4.

[0068] The base plate 11 can be provided with a column or plate structure as a positioning element 14. Alternatively, a portion of the base plate 11 can be stamped and bent to form a plate structure protruding from the base plate 11. The plate structure bends on the base plate 11 in a direction away from the first mounting element 12 and the second mounting element 13, so that the plate is exposed on the side of the base plate 11 away from the first mounting element 12 and the second mounting element 13, thereby making the positioning element 14 and the mounting assembly 1 an integrated structure. Alternatively, the positioning element 14 can be a snap-fit ​​structure, with the snap-fit ​​of the positioning element 14 inserted into the process hole, so that the positioning element 14 is snapped and connected to the process hole.

[0069] The frame structure 4 can be positioned on the side of the frame structure 4 where the locking structure 41 is located, so that the shorter first cable 2 can be connected between the mounting component 1 and the locking structure 41. When the frame structure 4 is the frame of the front compartment of the vehicle, the locking structure 41 can be positioned on the side of the frame structure 4 facing the driver's compartment in the length direction of the vehicle, and the positioning position can be spaced apart from the locking structure 41 in the width direction of the vehicle. This facilitates the connection of the first cable 2 between the locking structure 41 of the front hood and the mounting component 1, and also facilitates the movable connection of one end of the second cable 3 to the mounting component 1, and the other end to enter the driver's compartment of the vehicle and connect to the unlocking handle.

[0070] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13 are disposed on the same side of the base plate 11, and the positioning member 14 protrudes from the side of the base plate 11 away from the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13. With this arrangement, as the positioning member 14 is inserted into the process hole on the frame structure 4, the base plate 11 also moves toward the frame structure 4, eventually making the base plate 11 fit against the frame structure 4, which facilitates the connection operation between the base plate 11 and the frame structure 4.

[0071] Specifically, the positioning component 14 can be a plate structure or a column structure. The positioning component 14 can be formed by bending a rectangular area on the base plate 11 away from the first mounting component 12 and the second mounting component 13. Alternatively, the positioning component 14 can be welded to the side of the base plate 11 facing away from the first mounting component 12 and the second mounting component 13. The first mounting component 12 and the second mounting component 13 are located on the same side of the base plate 11, and the positioning component 14 protrudes from the side of the base plate 11 facing away from the first mounting component 12 and the second mounting component 13. The operator can easily align the positioning component 14 with the process hole by holding the first mounting component 12 and the second mounting component 13, facilitating the insertion and connection of the positioning component 14 with the process hole.

[0072] After the positioning member 14 is inserted into the process hole on the frame structure 4, the base plate 11 moves toward the surface of the frame structure 4, so that the base plate 11 fits against the surface of the frame structure 4, making it easier to connect the base plate 11 to the frame structure 4.

[0073] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the base plate 11 is provided with mounting holes 111 for fasteners to pass through, so that the base plate 11 is connected to the frame structure 4 by fasteners. This arrangement facilitates the connection of the base plate 11 to the frame structure 4 by fasteners, and the mounting holes 111 also reduce the weight of the base plate 11.

[0074] Specifically, through holes are provided on the base plate 11 as mounting holes 111. Bolts or screws can be selected as fasteners. After the bolts or screws pass through the mounting holes 111, they are connected to the frame structure 4. Alternatively, screw holes can be provided on the base plate 11 as mounting holes 111. Bolts are inserted into the screw holes on the base plate 11 to connect with the frame structure 4.

[0075] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the base plate 11 is provided with weight-reducing holes 112. This arrangement allows the weight-reducing holes 112 to reduce the overall weight of the mounting assembly 1, facilitating the movement of the mounting assembly 1 for installation operations.

[0076] Specifically, the base plate 11 can be provided with a through hole as a weight reduction hole 112. The weight reduction hole 112 can be an oblong hole, and the weight reduction hole 112 can be extended along the first direction.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a first through hole 121 is provided on a first mounting member 12, and a first guide notch 122 is formed by a recess on one side edge of the first mounting member 12. Both the first guide notch 122 and the first through hole 121 penetrate the first mounting member 12 along a first direction, and the first guide notch 122 is connected to the first through hole 121.

[0078] The second through hole 131 is provided on the second mounting member 13. One side edge of the second mounting member 13 is recessed to form a second guide notch 132. The second guide notch 132 and the second through hole 131 both penetrate the second mounting member 13 along the first direction, and the second guide notch 132 is connected to the second through hole 131.

[0079] This configuration allows the first cable 2 to move along the first guide notch 122 and enter the first through hole 121, and the second cable 3 to move along the second guide notch 132 and enter the second through hole 131, facilitating the operation of the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 respectively passing through the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 131.

[0080] Specifically, the edge of the first mounting member 12 is recessed toward the center area of ​​the first mounting member 12 to form a first guide notch 122, so that the first guide notch 122 extends toward the first through hole 121 to the first through hole 121, so that the first guide notch 122 communicates with the first through hole 121. When the first cable 2 is arranged along the first direction and the first connecting part 23 is between the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13, the remaining part of the first cable 2 can enter the first through hole 121 through the first guide notch 122, thereby conveniently realizing the operation of the first cable 2 passing through the first through hole 121.

[0081] The edge of the second mounting member 13 is recessed toward the center area of ​​the second mounting member 13 to form a second guide notch 132, so that the second guide notch 132 extends toward the second through hole 131 to the second through hole 131, so that the second guide notch 132 communicates with the second through hole 131. When the first cable 2 is arranged along the first direction and the second connecting part 33 is between the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13, the remaining part of the second cable 3 can enter the second through hole 131 through the second guide notch 132, thereby conveniently realizing the operation of the first cable 2 passing through the first through hole 121.

[0082] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first guide notch 122 and the second guide notch 132 extend along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. In the direction of the first guide notch 122 away from the first through hole 121 along the second direction, the distance between the two opposite inner walls of the first guide notch 122 gradually increases. In the direction of the second guide notch 132 away from the second through hole 131 along the second direction, the distance between the two opposite inner walls of the second guide notch 132 gradually increases.

[0083] With this configuration, the first guide notch 122 and the second guide notch 132 form a trapezoidal notch structure, allowing the first cable 2 to easily enter the opening at the end of the first guide notch 122 away from the first through hole 121, and the second cable 3 to easily enter the opening at the end of the second guide notch 132 away from the second through hole 131. This improves the ease of operation of the first cable 2 passing through the first through hole 121 and the ease of operation of the second cable 3 passing through the second through hole 131.

[0084] Specifically, the first direction can be the length direction of the base plate 11, and the width direction of the base plate 11 can be the second direction. Alternatively, the first direction can be the length direction of the base plate 11, and the height direction of the base plate 11 can be the second direction, as long as the first guide notch 122 and the second guide notch 132 can be connected to the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 131 respectively.

[0085] The first direction can be the length direction of the base plate 11, and the second direction can be the width direction of the base plate 11. The first guide notch 122 extends along the width direction of the base plate 11. In the second direction away from the first through hole 121, the distance between the first guide notch 122 and the inner walls on both sides gradually increases along the height direction of the base plate 11, so that the first guide notch 122 forms an approximately trapezoidal notch, so that the first cable 2 can easily enter the opening at the end of the first guide notch 122 away from the first through hole 121.

[0086] The distance between the second guide notch 132 and the inner walls on both sides gradually increases along the height direction of the base plate 11, so that the second guide notch 132 forms an approximately trapezoidal notch, thereby allowing the second cable 3 to easily enter the opening at the end of the second guide notch 132 away from the second through hole 131.

[0087] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting part 23 is a connecting end, and the second connecting part 33 is a connecting groove, with the connecting end and the connecting groove being fitted together. This arrangement allows the first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32 to be connected to each other through the fitted connection of the connecting end and the connecting groove, enabling the second cable core 32 to drive the first cable core 22 to move, thus improving the ease of operation for connecting the first cable core 22 and the second cable core 32.

[0088] Specifically, one end of the second cable 3 is provided with a block structure, and a connecting groove is formed by the recess in the block structure. One end of the first cable 2 is provided with a connecting end, which is inserted into the connecting groove. The connecting end and the connecting groove are fitted together, so that the connecting end is limited in the connecting groove in the first direction, so that when the second cable 3 moves, the first cable 2 moves together under the drive of the second cable 3.

[0089] The aforementioned connecting groove has an opening on the inner wall of the side closest to the first cable 2 in the first direction, so that after the connecting end is inserted into the connecting groove through the groove opening, the first cable 2 can pass through the opening in the inner wall of the connecting groove, so that the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 are connected and are in a straight line.

[0090] The aforementioned connecting end abuts against the inner wall of the connecting groove in the first direction, so that when the unlocking handle moves the second cable 3, the force is transmitted through the abutment between the connecting end and the inner wall of the connecting groove, causing the second cable 3 to move the first cable 2.

[0091] This disclosure also provides a vehicle, including a frame structure 4, a lock structure 41, an unlocking handle, and a cable structure as described above; the lock structure 41 is disposed on the frame structure 4, the unlocking handle is disposed inside the vehicle, the floor plate 11 is connected to the frame structure 4, the end of the first cable 2 away from the first connecting part 23 is connected to the lock structure 41, and the end of the second cable 3 away from the second connecting part 33 is connected to the unlocking handle.

[0092] Specifically, frame structure 4 is the frame structure inside the front compartment of the vehicle. The unlocking handle is located inside the driver's compartment of the vehicle. The process hole on frame structure 4 is located near the front wheel on one side of the vehicle and is positioned near the bottom of the vehicle. Lock structure 41 has an unlocking rod and two claws. The two claws are connected to each other by a spring and are rotatably connected to frame structure 4. Under the action of the spring, the two claws rotate toward each other. A protrusion is provided on the hood, which can be inserted into the two claws so that the two claws are engaged with the protrusion on the hood. At this time, lock structure 41 is in the locked state. The unlocking rod is connected to at least one claw and is also connected to the first pull cable 2. When the unlocking handle is pulled, it drives the second pull cable 3 to move. The movement of the second pull cable 3 drives the first pull cable 2 to move. The first pull cable 2 drives the two claws to move away from each other so that the protrusion can disengage from the two claws, thereby unlocking lock structure 41.

[0093] By using the cable structure described above in the vehicle, the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 can be connected to the lock structure 41 and the unlocking handle by cooperating with the mounting component 1. This allows the unlocking handle to unlock the lock structure 41 by driving the first cable 2 and the second cable 3. The mounting component 1 also plays a positioning role for the first cable 2 and the second cable 3 on the vehicle's frame structure 4, improving the ease of operation when installing the first cable 2 and the second cable 3.

[0094] In the specific use of the cable structure and vehicle provided in this embodiment, the positioning member 14 is inserted into the process hole of the frame structure 4 to attach the base plate 11 to the frame structure 4, so that the mounting assembly 1 is located at a set position on the frame structure 4.

[0095] The second sleeve 31 has a second fixing head 34, one end of which is inserted into the second guide notch 132 on the second mounting member 13. The second fixing head 34 is positioned along the first direction and moves along the second guide notch 132 into the second through hole 131, connecting the second fixing head 34 to the second through hole 131. The second connecting part 33 is located between the first mounting member 12 and the second mounting member 13. The end of the second cable core 32 away from the second connecting part 33 is connected to the unlocking handle, completing the pre-positioning installation of the second cable 3. After the second cable 3 is pre-positioned, it begins operation. Personnel insert one end of the first sleeve 21 with the first fixing head 24 into the first guide notch 122 on the first mounting part 12, and the first fixing head 24 is set along the first direction. The first fixing head 24 moves along the first guide notch 122 and enters the first through hole 121, so that the first fixing head 24 is engaged with the first through hole 121. The connecting end is fitted into the connecting groove, so that the first connecting part 23 is connected with the second connecting part 33. The end of the first cable core 22 away from the first connecting part 23 is connected to the lock structure 41, thus completing the assembly operation of the first cable 2 and the second cable 3.

[0096] The vehicle's hood is fitted onto the frame structure 4 and connected to the lock structure 41. The lock structure 41 is in a locked state. When the user pulls the unlock handle, the unlock handle drives the second cable core 32 to move relative to the second sleeve 31. The second cable core 32 drives the first cable core 22 to move relative to the first sleeve 21. The movement of the first cable core 22 unlocks the lock structure 41, thereby allowing the hood to be opened.
