[0030] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A bracket 103 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The bracket 103 includes a water guiding portion 107 and a receiving portion 108. The water guiding portion 107 can block water dripping from above the water guiding portion 107, preventing water from dripping onto objects located below the water guiding portion 107, thereby reducing the impact of water on objects located below the water guiding portion 107. The aforementioned objects may be water-corroded parts in the automobile 100, or electronic components in the automobile 100. Furthermore, since the water guiding portion 107 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, water falling onto the water guiding portion 107 can flow along the water guiding portion 107 under the action of gravity. Therefore, the water guiding portion 107 can guide the flow of water, thereby guiding the water to the parts in the automobile 100 used for water storage or drainage. The receiving portion 108 is connected to the side of the water guiding portion 107. The receiving portion 108 is located outside the water guiding groove 112. The receiving portion 108 and the water guiding portion 107 together define a receiving groove 120, which is used to accommodate at least a portion of the cable 104 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). In some embodiments, cable 104 may include only one conductor. In other embodiments, cable 104 may also include multiple conductors, i.e., cable 104 may be configured as a wire harness or ribbon cable.

[0031] In existing technology, to achieve both the functions of guiding water and securing cable 104, a car 100 typically has one bracket 103 for guiding water and another bracket 103 for securing cable 104. This results in a large number of brackets 103 in the car 100, and the assembly process involves assembling multiple brackets 103, leading to low assembly efficiency. However, with the bracket 103 of this invention, a single bracket 103 performs both the functions of guiding water and securing cable 104, allowing the car 100 to simultaneously achieve multiple functions without requiring multiple brackets 103. Therefore, the bracket 103 of this invention has multiple functions, which helps reduce the total number of brackets 103 in the car 100, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the car 100.

[0032] The water guiding section 107 and the receiving section 108 can be integrally molded, for example, the bracket 103 can be integrally molded by casting or injection molding. In this way, the water guiding section 107 and the receiving section 108 do not need to be assembled with each other, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the car 100. Since the water guiding section 107 needs to be in contact with water, the material of the water guiding section 107 can be plastic, rust-resistant metal or other materials that are not easy to rust.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water guiding section 107 of the support 103 includes a base plate 116 and two spaced-apart side plates 113. Each side of the base plate 116 is connected to one side plate 113. The base plate 116 is inclined, and the base plate 116 and side plates 113 together define a water guiding channel 112. The base plate 116 is mainly used to receive and guide water flow, while the side plates 113 are mainly used to prevent water from falling from the sides (left and right sides) of the base plate 116, thereby preventing water droplets from falling onto objects below the water guiding section 107. The water guiding channel 112 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, so that water falling into the water guiding channel 112 will flow along the channel under gravity and be guided to a water storage or drainage location outside the support 103. This helps prevent excessive water accumulation in the water guiding channel 112, thus reducing the risk of overflowing water flowing onto objects below the water guiding section 107. In other embodiments not shown, in order to reduce the structural complexity and cost of the support 103, the water guide 107 may also consist only of an inclined base plate.

[0034] The storage section 108 can be located outside the water guide channel 112, without encroaching on the space within the water guide channel 112, allowing the water guide channel 112 to hold a larger amount of water. The opening of the storage tank 120 is formed on the side of the storage section 108 away from the water guide section 107. For example, the left side of the storage section 108 is connected to the water guide section 107, and the opening of the storage tank 120 is formed on the right side of the water guide section 107. Since the opening of the storage tank 120 does not face upwards, water dripping from above the bracket 103 is less likely to enter the storage tank 120 and come into contact with the portion of the cable 104 located within the storage tank 120, which helps reduce the risk of short circuits in the cable 104. Furthermore, since the opening of the storage slot 120 is located on the side of the storage section 108 away from the water guide section 107, the water guide section 107 provides less obstruction to the cable 104 during the process of installing the cable 104 into the storage slot 120 or removing the cable 104 from the storage slot 120, making the installation and removal of the cable 104 more convenient.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the storage section 108 includes a first constraint plate 117 and a second constraint plate 118, both of which are connected to the water guiding section. More specifically, the two side plates 113 are a first side plate 114 and a second side plate 115, respectively. The first constraint plate 117 and the second constraint plate 118 are both connected to the first side plate 114 and both protrude relative to the first side plate 114. The first constraint plate 117, the second constraint plate 118, and the first side plate 114 together form the storage groove 120.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, both the first constraint plate 117 and the second constraint plate 118 are curved, and both are connected to the water guide portion 107. The first constraint plate 117 includes a first plate segment 134 and a second plate segment 135. The front end of the first plate segment 134 is lower than the rear end of the second plate segment 135, and the front end of the first plate segment 134 is connected to the rear end of the second plate segment 135. The front end of the second plate segment 135 is higher than the rear end of the second plate segment 135. More intuitively, the middle portion of the first constraint plate 117 is bent downwards relative to its two ends. After the cable 104 is installed into the receiving slot 120, a portion of the cable 104 will bend downwards and form a drip bend 111 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown). The second constraint plate 118 is spaced below the first constraint plate 117, with the front end of the second constraint plate 118 lower than its rear end. The length of the second constraint plate 118 is shorter than the length of the first constraint plate 117, and the second constraint plate 118 and the first plate segment 134 are arranged facing each other. In this way, the second constraint plate 118, the first plate segment 134, and the water guide 107 together enclose the receiving groove 120. Furthermore, since the second constraint plate 118 and the second plate segment 135 are staggered, the lowest point 124 of the drip bend section 111 is located outside the receiving groove 120 (e.g., as shown). Figure 3 As shown), the second constraint plate 118 will not block the lowest point 124 of the drip bend 111, and the second constraint plate 118 will not prevent water from dripping down from the lowest point 124.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the drip bend 111 is one of the bent sections of the cable 104. The drip bend 111 includes a first connecting end 123, a second connecting end 125, and a lowest point 124. The drip bend 111 bends downwards, with the first connecting end 123 located in front of the second connecting end 125, and both the first connecting end 123 and the second connecting end 125 located above the lowest point 124. The first connecting end 123 can be connected to the bottom end of the first segment 122 of the cable 104, and the top end of the first segment 122 is connected to one of the fixing members 110. The second connecting end 125 can be connected to the top end of the second segment 126 of the cable 104, which is located behind the water-receiving part 105, and the bottom end of the second segment 126 is connected to another fixing member 110. Water adhering to the surface of the cable 104 will flow along the surface of the cable 104 under the action of gravity and collect at the lowest point 124 of the drip bend 111, and then drip from the lowest point 124. Water dripping from the lowest point 124 can be collected by other parts of the vehicle (such as the water-receiving part 105 mentioned below). This arrangement helps reduce the risk of water adhering to the surface of the cable 104 for an extended period of time, thereby reducing the risk of short circuits in the cable 104.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water guiding section 107 has one or more through holes 119 on its side surface near the receiving section 108. Specifically, the through holes 119 are located on the first side plate 114, and at least one through hole is located within the receiving groove 120. The vehicle 100 also includes a binding member (not shown) that can pass through at least one through hole 119. The binding member can be a cable tie, rope, etc., and it wraps around the outer periphery of the cable 104 to bind the cable 104. The binding member secures a portion of the cable 104 within the receiving groove 120, preventing the cable 104 from loosening or falling off.

[0039] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the bracket 103 also includes a snap-fit ​​portion 121, which, along with the storage portion 108, is connected to both sides of the water guide portion 107. The snap-fit ​​portion 121 engages with a snap-fit ​​hole on the sheet metal of the vehicle 100, thereby fixing the bracket 103 to the sheet metal. After the bracket 103 is fixed to the sheet metal, the storage portion 108 can secure the cable 104 located near the surface of the sheet metal.

[0040] The following describes how the aforementioned bracket can be used in automobiles.

[0041] In some embodiments, the vehicle has gaps that may allow water to flow into during vehicle use. Figures 5 to 7 The diagram shows a partial structure of a car according to an embodiment of the present invention. The car 100 includes an A-pillar 101, an instrument panel 129, and a bracket 103. Figure 7 The relative positions of the A-pillar 101, instrument panel 129, and water guide 107 are shown in a rear-view view. Figures 5 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, a gap is formed between the side of the dashboard 129 and the A-pillar 101.

[0042] The water guiding part 107 is located below the gap. Using the horizontal plane as the projection plane, the projection of the gap 130 coincides with the projection of the water guiding channel 112; that is, at least a portion of the projection of the gap 130 coincides with at least a portion of the projection of the water guiding part 107. In this invention, the projection of a structure onto the projection plane refers to an orthographic projection onto the projection plane. The projection plane is not shown in the drawings. The projection plane can be located above the gap 130, below the water guiding part 107, or between the gap 130 and the water guiding part 107, as long as the projections of the gap 130 and the water guiding part 107 fall on the same horizontal projection plane. More intuitively, as... Figure 7 As shown, draw a vertically downward line starting from a portion of the gap 130. This line will intersect the water guide section 107 (the intersection point is point L). It should be noted that, viewed from a top-down angle, the gap 130 is roughly along the front-to-back direction (i.e., perpendicular to...). Figure 7 Extending in the direction of the paper, the slit 130 can be curved or straight. Accordingly, the projection of the slit 130 is a curve or straight line extending in the front-back direction, at least a portion of which coincides with at least a portion of the water channel 112. In this way, at least a portion of the water flowing down from the slit 130 can fall into the water channel 112.

[0043] The vehicle also includes electrical components (not shown), which can be electrical connectors, wires, switches, sensors, etc. Of course, the specific types of electrical components are not limited to those mentioned above; any device that operates with electricity or is connected to a circuit can be considered an electrical component. At least a portion of the water-guiding section 107 covers the electrical component and is located between the gap 130 and the electrical component. The water-guiding section 107 can block water falling from the gap 130, which helps reduce the risk of the electrical component coming into contact with water, thereby reducing the risk of the electrical component short-circuiting and failing when exposed to water.

[0044] In the embodiment mentioned above, the gap 130 is formed between the side of the dashboard 129 and the A-pillar 101. In this case, the water guide portion 107 of the bracket 103 is mainly used to block water flowing down from the dashboard 129 or the A-pillar 101. For example, some car owners apply window tinting to the windshield of the passenger compartment. The tinting film is usually applied to the inner surface of the windshield (i.e., the side of the windshield facing the passenger compartment). During the tinting process, the operator usually sprays water on the inner surface of the glass or the surface of the film to prevent the film from sticking tightly to the glass immediately after application, so that the operator can move the film to adjust its position later. Water sprayed on the glass or the film during tinting may enter the gap 130 between the A-pillar 101 and the dashboard 129. For another example, the driver or passenger in the front passenger seat may accidentally spill water or beverages on the dashboard 129, causing water to enter the gap 130 between the A-pillar 101 and the dashboard 129. Regardless of the cause of water ingress into the gap 130, the water guide section 107 of the bracket 103 can effectively reduce the risk of failure of the electrical component 131.

[0045] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 has a water receiving portion 105 for receiving water from a water guiding portion 107. The bottom edge of the water guiding portion 107 is located above the water receiving portion 105. With a horizontal plane as the projection plane, the projection of the gap 130 at least partially coincides with the projection of the top edge of the water guiding portion 107, and the projection of the bottom edge of the water guiding portion 107 is located within the projection of the water receiving portion 105.

[0046] In the case where gap 130 is formed between dashboard 129 and A-pillar 101, such as Figure 5 As shown, the car 100 also includes a front bulkhead 102, which includes the aforementioned water-receiving portion 105. The A-pillar 101 shown in the accompanying drawings of this utility model is the A-pillar 101 located on the left side of the car 100, and the left end of the front bulkhead 102 is connected to the A-pillar 101 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown), the front bulkhead 102 separates the passenger compartment and the front cabin of the vehicle 100, with the passenger compartment located at the rear of the front bulkhead 102. A water-receiving section 105 may be located at the top of the front bulkhead 102. A bracket 103 is connected to the A-pillar 101, and a water-guiding section 107 gradually extends downwards in a rear-to-forehead direction.

[0047] Water falling from the gap 130 onto the water guide 107 will flow along the inclined water guide 107, and after flowing out from the bottom of the water guide 107, drip onto the water receiving portion 105 of the front bulkhead 102. The electrical components are also located behind the water receiving portion 105. In this way, the water falling from the gap 130 onto the water guide 107 will eventually be guided to the water receiving portion 105 of the front bulkhead 102, and the water will not accumulate on the water guide 107. This helps to prevent water from dripping from the water guide 107 onto the electrical components when the vehicle 100 is moving or vibrating, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit failure of the electrical components.

[0048] In some embodiments, water guided by the water guide 107 to the water receiving portion 105 can subsequently flow out to the exterior of the vehicle body through some channels of the front bulkhead 102. This prevents water accumulation from causing the sheet metal to rust or corrode.

[0049] The amount of water flowing down from the gap 130 is relatively small overall. Therefore, in some embodiments, a channel for draining water from the water receiving part 105 or the water guiding part 107 to the outside of the vehicle body may not be provided. For example, the water receiving part 105 includes a sheet metal part and a sound insulation pad, the sound insulation pad covering at least a portion of the surface of the sheet metal part, and a water receiving groove 106 (such as...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 (As shown) is formed on the surface of the sound-absorbing pad. In this way, water guided to the water-receiving portion 105 by the water-guiding portion 107 or the drip bend 111 falls onto the sound-absorbing pad, preventing direct contact with the sheet metal, which helps reduce the risk of sheet metal rusting. Furthermore, the main material of the sound-absorbing pad is usually cotton, which is absorbent. Some of the water falling onto the water-receiving portion 105 is absorbed by the sound-absorbing pad, thus reducing the amount of water flowing on the surface of the water-receiving portion 105. This helps reduce the risk of water on the water-receiving portion 105 flowing outwards and coming into contact with electrical components.

[0050] In the embodiments mentioned above, the gap 130 is formed between the A-pillar 101 and the dashboard 129. In other embodiments not shown, the gap 130 may also be formed in other parts of the vehicle 100. For example, the gap 130 may be formed between the window glass and the door sheet metal, in which case the water to be guided by the water guide 107 may be rainwater entering through the gap 130. These are not all examples listed here. Correspondingly, the water receiving portion 105 may be formed on other parts of the vehicle 100, as long as the water receiving portion 105 has a large water receiving area.

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle 100 also includes a cable 104, a portion of which is located in a storage slot in the bracket 103. The cable 104 is connected to the A-pillar 101; more specifically, the cable 104 can be snapped onto the A-pillar 101 via a fastener 110. Figure 3As shown, the fastener 110 includes an annular portion 128 and a snap-fit ​​portion 127 connected to each other. The annular portion 128 surrounds the outer periphery of the cable 104 and clamps the cable 104. The snap-fit ​​portion 127 is used to snap-fit ​​with the A-pillar 101.

[0052] As described above, the cable 104 can be curved and has a drip bend 111. When the cable 104 includes the drip bend 111, the lowest point 124 of the drip bend 111 is located outside the receiving groove 120, and with the horizontal plane as the projection plane, the projection of the lowest point 124 is within the projection of the water receiving portion 105. In this way, water adhering to the surface of the cable 104 can be guided to the water receiving portion 105, thereby preventing water from dripping from the surface of the cable 104 onto electrical components near the A-pillar 101, and preventing water from flowing along the cable 104 to other electrical components under gravity.

[0053] It should be noted that if a portion of the projection of the gap 130 coincides with the projection of the first segment 122 (i.e., a portion of the cable 104 passes directly below the gap 130), then the water adhering to the surface of the cable 104 could be water falling from the gap 130 between the A-pillar 101 and the side of the dashboard 129. If the gap 130 and the first segment 122 of the cable 104 are completely misaligned, then the water adhering to the surface of the cable 104 could be water leaking in from other parts of the vehicle 100. The accompanying drawings of this utility model only show a portion of the cable 104 located near the bracket 103; the entire cable 104 is not shown in the drawings. The top end of the first segment 122 in the drawings is not the top end of the entire cable 104, and the bottom end of the second segment 126 is not the bottom end of the entire cable 104.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the water receiving portion 105 has a water receiving groove 106, and the projection of the bottom end of the water guiding portion 107 lies within the projection of the water receiving groove 106. When the cable 104 has a drip bend 111, the projection of the lowest point 124 of the drip bend 111 can also lie within the projection of the water receiving groove 106. Because the water receiving portion 105 has a water receiving groove 106, it can hold a larger amount of water. Furthermore, the sidewalls of the water receiving groove 106 can prevent water from flowing out of the groove 106 and backwards to the electrical components. In other embodiments not shown, the water receiving portion 105 may not have a water receiving groove 106, as long as it has a surface capable of receiving water from the water guiding portion 107 and / or the cable 104.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle 100 also includes a water barrier 109, which is elastic. The material of the water barrier 109 can be rubber, foam, sponge, etc. Figure 6As shown, the water-retaining pad 109 is sandwiched between the water-guiding portion 107 and the A-pillar 101. For example, the water-retaining pad 109 is bonded to the second side plate 115 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, after the bracket 103 is engaged with the A-pillar 101 via the snap-fit ​​part 121, the water-blocking pad 109 is clamped between the water-guiding part 107 and the A-pillar 101. Furthermore, the water-blocking pad 109 can be in a compressed state to ensure a tight fit between the water-blocking pad 109 and the surfaces of the A-pillar 101 and the water-guiding part 107. Some of the water flowing down from the gap 130 may run down the surface of the A-pillar 101. The water-blocking pad 109 primarily serves to block the water flowing down the surface of the A-pillar 101, preventing water from flowing down from the gap between the surface of the A-pillar 101 and the water-guiding part 107 and contacting the electrical components below the water-guiding part 107, thereby reducing the risk of short circuits. If the water-blocking pad 109 is made of a water-absorbing elastic material (such as a sponge), the water-blocking pad 109 can also absorb water, further reducing the risk of water flowing down from the gap 130 between the water-guiding part 107 and the A-pillar 101.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the water-retaining pad 109 may also be inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the extending direction of the water-retaining pad 109 is the same as the extending direction of the water-guiding portion 107. In the direction from back to front, the water-retaining pad 109 gradually extends downward. With the horizontal plane as the projection plane, the projection of the bottom end of the water-retaining pad 109 may be located within the projection of the water-receiving portion 105. Similar to the water-guiding portion 107, the inclined water-retaining pad 109 can also guide the water flowing down the surface of the A-pillar 101 to the water-receiving portion 105, and the water will not accumulate on the water-retaining pad 109. This helps to prevent water from dripping from the water-retaining pad 109 onto the electrical components when the vehicle 100 is driving or vibrating, thereby helping to reduce the risk of short-circuit failure of the electrical components.
