Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a control system for an automotive winch motor. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of off-road vehicles in recent years, the configuration requirements for off-road vehicles have become increasingly higher. For vehicle safety reasons, the application of winch motors has become widespread. Due to the addition of a winch motor, a larger fuse needs to be added between the battery and the winch motor, based on the power requirements of the winch motor. This results in a more complex fuse box structure and higher manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control system for an automotive winch motor, which has a simpler fuse box structure and lower manufacturing cost.

[0004] This utility model provides a control system for an automotive winch motor, including a fuse box, a winch switch, and a winch power cable. The fuse box can be fixed to the positive terminal of a battery, and includes a busbar connected to the positive terminal of the battery. The winch switch can be fixed to the battery near the fuse box, and is connected to the winch motor. The winch power cable connects to both the busbar and the winch switch.

[0005] The control system for the automobile winch motor provided by this utility model allows the winch switch to be fixed on the battery near the fuse box and connected to the fuse box via the winch power cable. This reduces the distance between the winch switch and the fuse box, making the winch power cable very short and thus reducing the risk of short circuits. The fuse box eliminates the need for large-sized fuses, making its structure simpler and its manufacturing cost lower.

[0006] In another illustrative embodiment of the control system for the automobile winch motor, the control system further includes a switch mounting bracket that can be fixed to the battery, and the winch switch is fixed to the switch mounting bracket. This facilitates the installation of the winch switch.

[0007] In another illustrative embodiment of the control system for the automobile winch motor, the fuse box also includes a terminal block riveted to the busbar, to which the winch power cable is connected. This facilitates the connection between the winch power cable and the busbar.

[0008] In another illustrative embodiment of the control system for an automotive winch motor, the terminal block is threaded, and one end of the winch power cable is fitted with a terminal block, which is then sleeved onto the terminal block. The fuse box also includes a lock nut, which is threaded onto the terminal block and secures the terminal block. This facilitates the connection between the winch power cable and the busbar, and provides a more secure connection.

[0009] In another illustrative embodiment of the control system for an automotive winch motor, the busbar is bent at a 90-degree angle to form a first connection and a second connection. The first connection is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and a terminal is riveted to the first connection. The second connection is used to connect a fuse. This saves space.

[0010] In another illustrative embodiment of the control system for an automotive winch motor, the fuse box further includes a housing and a protective cover. A second connecting portion is disposed within the housing, and a first connecting portion extends out of the housing. The protective cover is rotatably disposed within the housing between an open position and a closed position. When the protective cover is in the closed position, it covers the battery to cover the first connecting portion and the positive terminal of the battery. When the protective cover is in the open position, it exposes the first connecting portion and the positive terminal of the battery. This protects the internal structure of the fuse box.

[0011] In another illustrative embodiment of the control system for an automotive winch motor, the terminal block is provided with an M8 thread. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, specific embodiments of the present utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate components with the same or similar structures but the same function.

[0031] In this document, “illustrative” means “serving as an example, illustration or description”, and any illustration or implementation described herein as “illustrative” should not be construed as a more preferred or advantageous technical solution.

[0032] In this document, terms such as "first" and "second" do not indicate their importance or order, but are only used to distinguish them to facilitate the description of the document.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating one embodiment of a control system for an automotive winch motor. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The control system of the automobile winch motor includes a fuse box 10, a winch switch 20, and a winch power cable 30.

[0034] The fuse box 10 can be fixed to the positive terminal of the battery 50. The fuse box 10 includes a busbar 12 connected to the positive terminal of the battery 50. The winch switch 20 can be fixed to the battery 50 near the fuse box 10. The winch power cable 30 is connected to both the busbar 12 and the winch switch 20. In use, the winch motor is connected to the negative terminal of the battery 50, and the power supply to the winch motor can be controlled by operating the winch switch 20.

[0035] The control system for the automobile winch motor provided by this utility model allows the winch switch 20 to be fixed on the battery 50 near the fuse box 10. The winch switch 20 is connected to the fuse box 10 via the winch power cable 30, reducing the distance between the winch switch 20 and the fuse box 10. This results in a very short winch power cable 30, thereby reducing the risk of short circuits. The fuse box eliminates the need for large-sized fuses, making the structure of the fuse box simpler and the manufacturing cost lower.

[0036] In the illustrative embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The control system of the automobile winch motor also includes a switch mounting bracket 40, which can be fixed to the battery 50, and the winch switch 20 is fixed to the switch mounting bracket 40. This facilitates the installation of the winch switch 20.

[0037] In the illustrative embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The fuse box 10 also includes a terminal block 13, which is riveted to the busbar 12, and the winch power cable 30 is connected to the terminal block 13. Specifically, the terminal block 13 has an M8 thread, and one end of the winch power cable 30 has a terminal 32, which is fitted onto the terminal block 13. The fuse box 10 also includes a locking nut 14, which is threaded to the terminal block 13 and secures the terminal 32. This facilitates the connection between the winch power cable 30 and the busbar 12 and makes the connection more secure.

[0038] Figure 2 This is a partial sectional view of the fuse box. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The busbar 12 is bent at a 90-degree angle to form a first connection 121 and a second connection 122. The first connection 121 is connected to the positive terminal of the battery 50, and the terminal 13 is riveted to the first connection 121. The second connection 122 is used to connect a fuse. After connecting to the positive terminal of the battery 50, the busbar 12 can fit against the outer surface of the battery 50, thereby saving space.

[0039] Figure 3 This is another schematic diagram of the control system for an automotive winch motor. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 The safe 10 also includes a housing 16 and a protective cover 17. A second connecting portion 122 is disposed within the housing 16, and a first connecting portion 121 extends out of the housing 16. The protective cover 17 is located in a... Figure 1 The opening position shown and a as shown Figure 3 The protective cover 17 is rotatably disposed on the housing 16 between the shown closed positions. When the protective cover 17 is in the closed position, it can cover the battery 50 to cover the first connection portion 121 and the positive terminal of the battery 50. When the protective cover 17 is in the open position, it can expose the first connection portion 121 and the positive terminal of the battery 50. This protects the internal structure of the fuse box 10.
