[0024] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0026] It is understood that spatial relation terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “below,” “above,” “above,” etc., can be used here to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, the element or feature described as “below,” “below,” or “below” will be oriented “above” the other element or feature. Therefore, the exemplary terms “below” and “under” can include both upper and lower orientations. Furthermore, the device may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0027] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or connected to the other element through an intermediary element. In the following embodiments, "connection" should be understood as "electrical connection," "communication connection," etc., if the connected circuits, modules, units, etc., have the transmission of electrical signals or data between them.

[0028] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The diagram shows a cluster module housing, including an outer shell body. The body includes a rectangular base 1, with a top block 2 integrally connected to the rear top surface of the base 1. The top block 2 and the base 1 cooperate to form a T-shaped structure, ensuring internal space and the arrangement of multiple wire harness ports. A front locking block 3 is integrally connected to the front bottom surface of the base 1, and a rear locking block 4 is integrally connected to the rear bottom surface of the base 1. The front locking block 3 and the rear locking block 4 are provided with opposing flange structures for securing the body to other substrates.

[0030] The base 1 has a first wire hole 5 on its front end face, the top block 2 has a second wire hole 6 on its front end face, and the top block 2 has a third wire hole 7 on its rear end face. The first wire hole 5, the second wire hole 6, and the third wire hole 7 can be designed as standard or non-standard interfaces for direct connection to external terminals or for mounting and connecting other modules, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 The docking components are shown.

[0031] For ease of installation and disassembly, the main body comprises two symmetrically joined left halves 23 and right halves 24, which are connected by bolts. This design utilizes a shell wall with concave and convex layers to precisely align the left halves 23 and right halves 24. Specifically, the shell wall of the left halves 23 is formed by splicing or integrally connecting an outer first layer 8 and an inner second layer 9. The shell wall of the right halves 24 is formed by splicing or integrally connecting an outer third layer 10 and an inner fourth layer 11. The thickness of the second layer 9 is less than that of the first layer 8, forming a convex structure of the first layer 8. The thickness of the third layer 10 is less than that of the fourth layer 11, forming a concave structure of the third layer 10. The first layer 8 and the third layer 10 have the same thickness, as do the second layer 9 and the fourth layer 11. When the left halves 23 and right halves 24 are joined, the first layer 8 abuts against the third layer 10, and the second layer 9 abuts against the fourth layer 11.

[0032] Similarly, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of this housing on other substrates, the flange structures of the front locking block 3 and the rear locking block 4 must be designed with at least one movable end. In one embodiment, the front locking block 3 includes a first block 12 connected to the left half 23 and a second block 13 connected to the right half 24. The first block 12 and the second block 13 form a T-shaped groove, and a locking block 14 is engaged within the T-shaped groove. A protrusion 15 is provided on the end face of the locking block 14 near the rear locking block 4. The locking block 14 and the T-shaped groove are detachably connected. The first block 12 and the second block 13 are preferably mirror-symmetrical in size.

[0033] Specifically, the inner walls of the first block 12 and the second block 13 are provided with slots 16, and the side of the snap-fit ​​block 14 is provided with protrusions 17 that engage with the slots 16. Both sides of the snap-fit ​​block 14 are provided with elastic plates 18 that can be pressed inwards, and the protrusions 17 are located at the ends of the elastic plates 18. The arrangement of the elastic plates 18 and the protrusions 17 makes the snap-fit ​​block 14 a snap-fit ​​structure, facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0034] This design further improves the locking effect of the snap-fit ​​block 14. A vertical through hole 19 is provided on the front end of the snap-fit ​​block 14. A fixing pin is inserted into the through hole 19. When the protrusion 17 is snapped and fixed with the slot 16, the fixing pin abuts against the front end face of the base 1. The fixing pin and the protrusion 17 are synchronously limited to ensure that the snap-fit ​​block 14 is fixed relative to the body. The snap-fit ​​block 14 and the rear snap-fit ​​block 4 cooperate to complete the snap-fit ​​locking of the body.

[0035] In practice, the first wire hole 5 and the second wire control are often designed to be directly connected to the module. Therefore, the corresponding front wire harness module is also involved inside the main body. The wire harness has a certain degree of fixation. However, the third wire hole 7 often does not have a structure to lock the wire harness. Therefore, this solution provides a nut sleeve 20 located on the upper and lower sides of the third wire hole 7 inside the rear side of the top block 2. A support plate 21 is connected between the nut sleeves 20. A cover plate 22 is fixed to the top surface of the nut sleeve 20 with screws. When the nut fixes the cover plate 22 in a position close to the nut sleeve 20, the cover plate 22 and the support plate 21 form a tight snap-fit ​​fixation on both sides of the wire harness.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
