These drawings and written descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. The following description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals represent like elements, unless the context dictates otherwise. The following exemplary embodiments described are not representative of all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0050] As shown in the background, in the prior art, the steer-by-wire system includes a steering controller, a telescopic steering column and a wire harness, the steering controller is fixed at one end of the steering column, the other end of the steering column is provided with a connector, the wire harness is arranged between the steering column, and the two ends of the wire harness are respectively electrically connected with the steering controller and the connector, the steering wheel of the vehicle is connected with the end of the steering column provided with the steering controller, and the position and angle of the steering wheel can be adjusted by adjusting the length and angle of the steering column.

[0051] However, when the steering column is telescoped, the distance between the steering controller and the connector changes, and when the steering column is contracted, the wire harness in the steering column will be redundant, the wire harness in the steer-by-wire system is messy, the wire harness has the risk of winding and extrusion, and thus the normal use of the steer-by-wire system is affected.

[0052] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a wire harness storage device, a steering control system and a vehicle. The wire harness storage device comprises a first mounting member, a second mounting member and a storage assembly. The steering control system of the vehicle adjusts the position of the steering wheel by adjusting the length of the column assembly. The first mounting member and the second mounting member are respectively connected to the two ends of the wire harness. When the position of the steering wheel is adjusted by the extension and retraction of the column assembly, the distance between the first mounting member and the second mounting member changes. The wire harness between the first mounting member and the second mounting member will be stretched or bent. When the distance between the first mounting member and the second mounting member is shortened, the redundant part of the wire harness will be bent. The bent part may be wound or pressed. Therefore, the storage assembly is arranged between the first mounting member and the second mounting member. The storage assembly is telescopic. The wire harness is arranged in the storage assembly. When the distance between the first mounting member and the second mounting member is shortened, the storage assembly is retracted to store the redundant part of the wire harness. When the distance between the first mounting member and the second mounting member is increased, the storage assembly is extended to release the stored wire harness, so that the wire harness is stretched. In this way, by storing and releasing the wire harness through the storage assembly, the two ends of the wire harness can be stably connected to the first mounting member and the second mounting member, and the redundant part of the wire harness between the first mounting member and the second mounting member can be stored in time, so that the wire harness is always in a stretched state. Therefore, the wire harness in the steering control system is more orderly, and problems such as winding and pressing of the wire harness are avoided, so that the reliability of the steering control system and the vehicle is improved.

[0053] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions solve the above technical problems will be described in detail in the specific embodiments below. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other. For the same or similar concepts or processes, some embodiments may not be described again. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings:

[0054] It should be noted that the wire harness storage device provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various different steering control systems and / or vehicles.

[0055] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 and Figures 7 to 8As shown, the wiring harness storage device of the embodiment of the present application is used in the steering control system 10, which comprises a first mounting member 100 for connecting with a first end of the wiring harness 15, a second mounting member 200 for connecting with a second end of the wiring harness 15, and a storage assembly 300 connected between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, wherein the storage assembly 300 comprises a telescopic mechanism 310 and a limiting member 320, the telescopic mechanism 310 comprises a plurality of movable blocks arranged along a first direction, any two adjacent movable blocks are slidingly fitted along a second direction, the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 are connected through the telescopic mechanism 310, each movable block is provided with a winding post on one side along a third direction, and the limiting member 320 is arranged on the plurality of winding posts and is spaced apart from the movable blocks to jointly define a winding space, and the wiring harness 15 is sequentially wound on the plurality of winding posts in the winding space; the telescopic mechanism 310 is configured to be switchable between a first state and a second state, wherein in the first state, the plurality of movable blocks are flush along the first direction, and in the second state, any two of the plurality of movable blocks are staggered along the first direction.

[0056] It should be noted that the steering control system 10 is used to control the steering of the vehicle, the steering control system 10 comprises a steering controller 11, a connector 12 and a column assembly, the wiring harness 15 is arranged in the column assembly, the steering controller 11 and the connector 12 are arranged at opposite ends of the column assembly respectively, the wiring harness 15 is electrically connected with the connector 12 and the steering controller 11, and meanwhile, a steering wheel of the vehicle is connected with one end of the column assembly provided with the steering controller 11, and the column assembly is arranged to be telescopic. In order to make the position of the steering wheel more meet the needs of the user of the vehicle, the user of the vehicle can adjust the position and direction of the steering wheel by adjusting the length and angle of the column assembly, and when the column assembly is telescopic, the steering controller 11 and the steering wheel move together, and the distance between the steering controller 11 and the connector 12 changes, which causes the wiring harness 15 between the steering controller 11 and the connector 12 to not be able to keep stretched at all times, and when the column assembly is telescopic, the wiring harness 15 has a redundant part, which may cause the wiring harness 15 to be wound and pressed, etc., and affect the use of the steering control system 10, and therefore the wiring harness storage device of the embodiment of the present application can be arranged between the steering controller 11 and the connector 12.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the wire harness storage device comprises a first mounting member 100, a second mounting member 200 and a storage assembly 300, wherein the first mounting member 100 can be fixed to the part of the column assembly close to the steering controller 11, and the second mounting member 200 is fixed to the part of the column assembly close to the connector 12, so that when the column assembly is stretched or retracted, the distance between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 changes by the same amount as the distance between the steering controller 11 and the connector 12. The two ends of the wire harness 15 are fixed to the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 respectively, so that when the steering wheel position is adjusted, the part of the wire harness 15 between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 will be bent or stretched. Further, the storage assembly 300 is arranged between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, and the storage assembly 300 is configured to be stretchable, when the distance between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 is shortened, the storage assembly 300 is retracted to store the redundant part of the wire harness 15, when the distance between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 is lengthened, the storage assembly 300 is stretched to release the stored wire harness 15, so as to ensure that the two ends of the wire harness 15 are connected to the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200.

[0058] Therefore, when the position of the steering wheel is adjusted by stretching or retracting the column assembly, the storage assembly 300 can stretch or retract accordingly, and under the premise of ensuring the stable connection of the wire harness 15 with the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, the redundant part of the wire harness 15 can be stored, so that the wire harness 15 remains in the stretched state, avoiding the winding and extrusion of the wire harness 15 in the steering control system 10, and facilitating the improvement of the reliability of the steering control system 10 and the vehicle.

[0059] Of course, the wire harness storage device of the embodiment of the present application is not limited to being arranged in the steering control system 10, and can be applied to any situation where the length of the wire harness 15 changes due to the change of the distance between the two ends of the wire harness 15, and only needs to arrange the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 at the two movable ends of the wire harness 15, and the specific use scene of the wire harness storage device is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0060] In this way, by arranging the wire harness storage device of the embodiment of the present application in the steering control system 10, the activity path of the wire harness 15 can be limited by the storage assembly 300 when the column assembly is stretched or retracted, the redundant part of the wire harness 15 can be stored or released, and the two ends of the wire harness 15 can be stably connected to the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, which facilitates the neat and orderly arrangement of the wire harness 15 in the steering control system 10, avoids the winding and extrusion of the wire harness 15 caused by the disorder of the wire harness 15, and affects the use of the steering control system 10.

[0061] In specific implementation, Figure 1 The X direction is the first direction, the Y direction is the second direction, and the Z direction is the third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the telescopic mechanism 310. When the first mounting member 100 moves towards or away from the second mounting member 200, relative sliding occurs between the movable blocks, so that the length of the telescopic mechanism 310 as a whole and the distance between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 along the first direction remain consistent. Arranging the movable blocks along the first direction is beneficial to shortening the length of the telescopic mechanism 310 along the second direction in the first state while ensuring that the length of the telescopic mechanism 310 in the second state meets the requirements, increasing the movable length of the telescopic mechanism 310, and improving the flexibility of the telescopic mechanism 310. The number of movable blocks is at least two, and the specific number can be set according to the length of the wire harness 15 to be accommodated and the available space. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0062] Further, each movable block is provided with a winding post on one side along the third direction. When the telescopic mechanism 310 switches from the second state to the first state, the adjacent two movable blocks slide relative to each other, and the winding posts on the two movable blocks move relative to each other, so that the redundant part of the wire harness 15 is wound on the winding post. When the telescopic mechanism 310 switches from the first state to the second state, the wire harness 15 gradually unfolds along the winding posts, thereby defining the path of the wire harness 15 bending and unfolding, and avoiding problems such as entanglement and extrusion caused by disordered bending of the wire harness 15.

[0063] Meanwhile, the accommodation assembly 300 further comprises a limiting member 320, which is arranged on the plurality of winding posts. Arranging the limiting member 320 is helpful to avoid the wire harness 15 from separating from the winding space in the third direction during the switching of the telescopic mechanism 310 between the first state and the second state, and to ensure that the wire harness 15 is always located in the winding space, thereby ensuring the limiting effect of the winding post on the path of the wire harness 15 bending and unfolding, and further ensuring the neatness and order of the wire harness 15.

[0064] In some implementable ways, referring to Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7As shown, the plurality of movable blocks of the embodiment of the application includes a first movable block 311 and a second movable block 312, the first movable block 311 is connected with the first mounting member 100, the second movable block 312 is connected with the second mounting member 200, and the first movable block 311 and the second movable block 312 are in sliding fit, wherein the first movable block 311 is provided with a first winding post 3111, the second movable block 312 is provided with a second winding post 3121, the first winding post 3111 is arranged at one end of the first movable block 311 facing the second mounting member 200 in the second direction, the second winding post 3121 is arranged at one end of the second movable block 312 facing the first mounting member 100, in the first state, the second winding post 3121 is located at one side of the first winding post 3111 facing the first mounting member 100, and in the second state, the second winding post 3121 is located at one side of the first winding post 3111 facing the second mounting member 200.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first movable block 311 and the second movable block 312 are respectively two movable blocks located at opposite ends in the first direction among a plurality of movable blocks arranged in the first direction, the first winding post 3111 is arranged at one end of the first movable block 311 facing the second mounting member 200 in the second direction, and the second winding post 3121 is arranged at one end of the second movable block 312 facing the first mounting member 100, so that when the first mounting member 100 moves towards the second mounting member 200 to cause the wire harness 15 to be redundant, the winding post can accommodate the wire harness 15 from the middle part of the wire harness 15, which is conducive to better limiting the bending path of the wire harness 15. In addition, in the first state, the second winding post 3121 is located at one side of the first winding post 3111 facing the first mounting member 100, and in the second state, the second winding post 3121 is located at one side of the first winding post 3111 facing the second mounting member 200, so that the part of the wire harness 15 between the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121 in the second state is folded twice with the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121 as the axis when switching from the second state to the first state, thereby shortening the length of the part of the wire harness 15 to one third of the total length, effectively accommodating the wire harness 15, and helping to ensure the stability of the steering control system 10.

[0066] In some realizable modes, referring to Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the limiting member 320 of the embodiment of the application is provided with a first matching hole 321 and a second matching hole 322, at least one of the first matching hole 321 and the second matching hole 322 is formed as a strip-shaped hole extending along the connecting direction of the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121.

[0067] It is understandable that during the switching process between the first and second states of the telescopic mechanism 310, the distance between the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121 will change. Therefore, at least one of the first mating hole 321 and the second mating hole 322 is set as a strip hole. When the distance between the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121 changes, the first winding post 3111 slides relative to the first mating hole 321, and / or the second winding post 3121 slides relative to the second mating hole 322, thereby preventing the limiting member 320 from jamming with the winding post and improving the flexibility of the telescopic mechanism 310.

[0068] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121 of this application embodiment are respectively provided with anti-detachment structures (not shown in the figure). The anti-detachment structure is provided on the side of the limiting member 320 facing away from the movable block. The anti-detachment structure is used to prevent the limiting member 320 from falling off the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121.

[0069] It is understandable that if the limiting member 320 is only connected to the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121 through the first mating hole 321 and the second mating hole 322, when the wire harness 15 in the winding space moves in a third direction, the wire harness 15 abuts against the limiting member 320 and pushes the limiting member 320 to move away from the movable block. This may cause the limiting member 320 to detach from the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121, affecting the stability of the wire harness storage device. Therefore, in this embodiment, an anti-detachment structure is provided on the side of the limiting member 320 facing away from the movable block. This prevents the limiting member 320 from detaching without affecting the rotation of the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121 within the first mating hole 321 and the second mating hole 322. This helps improve the stability of the connection between the limiting member 320 and the first winding post 3111 and the second winding post 3121, ensuring that the limiting effect of the limiting member 320 can be fully utilized.

[0070] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7As shown, the storage assembly 300 of the embodiment of the present application further comprises a first guide mounting block 330 fixedly connected with the first mounting member 100 and located on the side of the first movable block 311 away from the second movable block 312 along the first direction, the first guide mounting block 330 is provided with a first guide rail (not shown in the figure), and the side wall of the first movable block 311 is provided with a first guide protrusion 3112 in sliding fit with the first guide rail; a second guide mounting block 340 fixedly connected with the second mounting member 200 and located on the side of the second movable block 312 away from the first movable block 311 along the first direction, the second guide mounting block 340 is provided with a second guide rail 341, and the side wall of the second movable block 312 is provided with a second guide protrusion 3122 in sliding fit with the second guide rail 341.

[0071] In a specific implementation, the first mounting member 100 is in sliding connection with the first movable block 311 through the first guide mounting block 330, and the second mounting member 200 is in sliding connection with the second movable block 312 through the second guide mounting block 340. Since the connection structures of the two are the same, the first guide mounting block 330 is taken as an example for description below. The first guide mounting block 330 is provided with a first guide rail, and the side wall of the first movable block 311 facing the first guide mounting block 330 is provided with a first guide protrusion 3112 in sliding connection with the first guide rail.

[0072] The specific structure of the first guide protrusion 3112 is not limited in this embodiment. For example, the first guide protrusion 3112 can be fixedly connected to the first movable block 311, and the extension and retraction of the telescopic mechanism 310 can be achieved by sliding the first guide protrusion 3112 along the first guide rail; or, the first guide protrusion 3112 can also be slidably connected to the first movable block 311, with the length of the first guide protrusion 3112 set to half the length of the first movable block 311. Limiting plates 3113 are provided on opposite sides of the first movable block 311 along the second direction. When the telescopic mechanism 310 switches from the first state to the second state, the first guide protrusion 3112 first slides with the first guide mounting block 330 relative to the first movable block 311 until the first guide protrusion 3112 abuts against the limiting plate 3113, and then the first guide protrusion 3112 slides along the first guide rail relative to the first guide mounting block 330 until the limiting plate 3113 pushes the first guide protrusion 3112 completely out of the first guide rail. When the telescopic mechanism 310 switches from the second state to the first state, the first guide protrusion 3112 first slides in the opposite direction to the first movable block 311 along with the first guide mounting block 330 until the first guide protrusion 3112 abuts against another limiting plate 3113 on the first movable block 311. The first guide protrusion 3112 then slides along the first guide rail relative to the first guide mounting block 330 until the limiting plate 3113 pushes the first guide protrusion 3112 completely into the first guide rail. In this way, the length of the first guide rail only needs to be the same as the length of the first guide protrusion 3112 and reach half the length of the first movable block 311, which is beneficial to reduce the volume of the first guide mounting block 330. The limiting plate 3113 can push the first guide protrusion 3112 and at the same time, it can also limit the range of relative movement between the first mounting member 100 and the first movable block 311.

[0073] Furthermore, since the two adjacent movable blocks are slidably connected, the two adjacent movable blocks can also achieve a sliding fit through the same guide rail and guide protrusion slidably connected structure. In this way, the guide rail and guide protrusion can be set as standard parts of the same specification and installed sequentially between movable blocks, between the first mounting part 100 and the first movable block 311, and between the second mounting part 200 and the second movable part, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of mass production and assembly of wire harness storage device.

[0074] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the first guide mounting block 330 is provided with a first wire protection side plate 331 on the side opposite to the first movable block 311 along the first direction, and the second guide mounting block 340 is provided with a second wire protection side plate 342 on the side opposite to the second movable block 312 along the first direction.

[0075] Understandably, when the wiring harness storage device is installed in the column assembly of the steering control system 10, during the process of the first mounting member 100 moving relative to the second mounting member 200 to store the wiring harness 15, the wiring harness 15 may rub against the inner wall of the tube assembly, causing wear to the wiring harness 15. Therefore, a first wire protection side plate 331 and a second wire protection side plate 342 are provided on the side of the first guide mounting block 330 and the second guide mounting block 340 closest to the inner wall of the tube assembly, that is, on the outermost side of the wiring harness storage device. The first wire protection side plate 331 and the second wire protection side plate 342 move together with the first guide mounting block 330 and the second guide mounting block 340, thereby protecting the wiring harness 15 and reducing wear on the wiring harness 15.

[0076] See also some of the possible implementation methods. Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first wire protection side plate 331 and the second wire protection side plate 342 in this embodiment of the application both include: a plate body 3311 and a limiting flange 3312. The plate body 3311 extends along a third direction. One end of the limiting flange 3312 is connected to the plate body 3311, and the other end extends toward the winding space. The limiting flange 3312 extends along a straight line or along an arc.

[0077] Thus, the main body 3311 can prevent the wire harness 15 from being subjected to friction, and the limiting flange 3312 can limit the wire harness 15, that is, prevent the wire harness 15 from disengaging from the first mounting member 100 or the second mounting member 200 in a third direction. This helps to improve the stability of the connection between the wire harness 15 and the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, and extend the service life of the wire harness 15. The limiting flange 3312 can extend along a straight line or along an arc, and its specific shape is not limited in this embodiment.

[0078] See Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this application embodiment also provides a wire harness storage device for a steering control system 10, including: a first mounting member 100 for connecting to a first end of a wire harness 15; a second mounting member 200 for connecting to a second end of a wire harness 15; and a storage assembly 300 connected between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, the storage assembly 300 being formed as an elastic spiral tube 350, through which the wire harness 15 passes.

[0079] In some embodiments, the accommodation assembly 300 is an elastic spiral tube 350, when the distance between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 is lengthened, the elastic spiral tube 350 is stretched, the elastic spiral tube 350 is elastically deformed, the distance between each turn of the wire harness 15 is increased, thereby increasing the length of the wire harness 15 along the second direction, when the distance between the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 is shortened, the elastic spiral tube 350 is restored to its original length under the action of the elastic force, the distance between each turn of the wire harness 15 is shortened, thereby shortening the length of the wire harness 15 along the second direction, and the accommodation of the wire harness 15 is achieved. In this way, the length of the wire harness 15 along the second direction can be flexibly changed along a certain path with the movement of the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200, avoiding irregular distribution of the wire harness 15 in the steering control system 10, and being conducive to keeping the wire harness 15 neat and orderly.

[0080] The elastic spiral tube 350 can be a separately arranged elastic structure, the wire harness 15 is inserted into the elastic spiral tube 350 after the elastic spiral tube 350 is manufactured, or the elastic spiral tube 350 can be a structure integrally arranged with the wire harness 15, the wire harness 15 is fixed in a spiral shape, and then an elastic material is applied to the outer surface of the wire harness 15, after the elastic material is dried, the wire harness 15 as a whole remains spiral and has a certain elasticity, and the specific structure of the elastic spiral tube 350 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and the elastic force can be used to achieve the reset and accommodation of the wire harness 15.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the steering wheel of the vehicle is connected with the end of the inner pipe column 13 away from the outer pipe column 14, and the inner pipe column 13 is connected with the steering controller 11, so the connector 12 needs to be arranged at the end of the outer pipe column 14 away from the inner pipe column 13, and the sliding of the inner pipe column 13 relative to the outer pipe column 14 is controlled, so that the adjustment of the axial position of the steering wheel along the pipe column assembly, i.e., the adjustment along the second direction, can be realized, and the adjustment of the angle of the outer pipe column 14 can drive the inner pipe column 13, i.e., the steering controller 11 and the steering wheel to move together, thereby adjusting the angle of inclination of the steering wheel.

[0083] The first mounting member 100 is fixed to the outer tube column 14, and the second mounting member 200 is fixed to the inner tube column 13, so that the distance variation of the first mounting member 100 and the second mounting member 200 along the first direction is equal to the distance variation of the steering controller 11 and the connector 12 along the first direction, which helps to ensure that the wire harness storage device stores all the excess part of the wire harness 15.

[0084] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 It is shown that the embodiments of the present application also provide a vehicle, comprising: any of the above wire harness storage devices, and / or, the above steering control system 10.
