Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring harness protection technology, specifically a waterproof and dustproof protection device for wheel speed sensor wiring harnesses. Background Technology
[0002] Wheel speed sensors are used to measure the rotational speed of car wheels. For modern cars, wheel speed information is essential. Vehicle dynamic control systems, electronic stability programs, anti-lock braking systems, and automatic transmission control systems all require wheel speed information. Therefore, wheel speed sensors are one of the most critical sensors in modern cars. Generally speaking, all speed sensors can be used as wheel speed sensors. However, considering practical factors such as the working environment of the wheels and the size of the space, the commonly used wheel speed sensors are mainly: magnetoelectric wheel speed sensors and Hall effect wheel speed sensors. Existing wheel speed sensors are directly exposed to the outside. Due to the lack of a protective structure, dust easily accumulates on the surface of the wiring harness after long-term use, and rainwater can easily enter the wiring harness. Some wiring harnesses are wrapped with waterproof tape, making it inconvenient to disassemble them later. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a waterproof and dustproof protection device for wheel speed sensor wiring harnesses, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Existing wheel speed sensors are directly exposed to the outside. Due to the lack of a protective structure, dust easily adheres to the surface of the wiring harness after long-term use, and rainwater easily enters the wiring harness. Some wiring harnesses are wrapped with waterproof tape, making it inconvenient to disassemble them later.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof and dustproof protection device for wheel speed sensor wiring harness, comprising a mounting shell, a waterproof component, and a connecting component;
[0005] The mounting housing consists of an upper housing and a lower housing. Both the upper housing and the lower housing have mounting cavities inside, and wire harnesses are inserted and connected inside the mounting cavities.
[0006] The waterproof assembly includes mounting grooves on both sides of the lower housing, with waterproof sealing strips installed inside the mounting grooves. The upper housing has strip grooves on both sides of its edge, with the waterproof sealing strips embedded inside the strip grooves. Semi-circular waterproof sleeves are installed at the middle of both ends of the upper and lower housings, and the waterproof sleeves are fitted onto the surface of the wire harness.
[0007] The connecting assembly includes hinge seats mounted on both sides of the upper housing. The surfaces of the hinge seats are hinged with snaps. A torsion spring is provided at the connection between the snaps and the hinge seats. A wedge-shaped insert is connected to the inner side of the bottom end of the snap. Insertion slots are provided on both sides of the lower housing, and the wedge-shaped insert is inserted into the insertion slot.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model: a plurality of fixing brackets are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and the surface of the fixing brackets is provided with a slot, and the wire harness is inserted into the slot.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, drainage holes are provided through both ends of the strip groove.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, main ribs are connected to the middle of the surfaces of both the upper and lower shells.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, side reinforcing ribs are distributed and connected on both sides of the main rib.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower housing is connected to two fixed feet.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) Mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the lower housing. Waterproof sealing strips are installed inside the mounting grooves. Strip grooves are provided on both sides of the edge of the upper housing. When the upper housing and the lower housing are connected, the waterproof sealing strips are inserted into the strip grooves, so that the edge of the upper housing and the lower housing are connected to form a seal, preventing rainwater and dust from entering the mounting housing and causing corrosion to the wire harness. Semi-circular waterproof sleeves are installed in the middle of both ends of the upper housing and the lower housing. The waterproof sleeves are placed at the positions where the wire harness passes through the two ends of the mounting housing, so that a seal is formed at the connection, preventing rainwater from seeping in from the wire opening and ensuring the sealing performance.
[0015] (2) With the provided connecting components, hinge seats are installed on both sides of the upper housing. A snap fastener is hinged to the surface of the hinge seat. A torsion spring is provided at the connection between the snap fastener and the hinge seat. When the snap fastener is pressed, the wedge-shaped insert at the bottom end moves out of the insertion groove on both sides of the lower housing, which facilitates the separation of the lower housing and the upper housing. Similarly, during installation, the upper housing and the lower housing are connected. The snap fastener is pushed by the torsion spring so that the wedge-shaped insert is inserted into the insertion groove, ensuring the stability of the connection. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The waterproof component 4 includes mounting grooves 41 on both sides of the lower housing 102, with a waterproof sealing strip 42 installed inside the mounting grooves 41. The upper housing 101 has strip grooves 43 on both sides of its edge, with the waterproof sealing strip 42 embedded inside the strip grooves 43. Semi-circular waterproof sleeves 44 are installed at the middle of both ends of the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102, and the waterproof sleeves 44 are fitted onto the surface of the wire harness 3.
[0033] In practical use: mounting grooves 41 are provided on both sides of the lower housing 102, and waterproof sealing strips 42 are installed inside the mounting grooves 41. Strip grooves 43 are provided on both sides of the edge of the upper housing 101. When the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 are connected, the waterproof sealing strips 42 are inserted into the strip grooves 43, so that the edge connection of the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 is sealed, preventing rainwater and dust from entering the mounting housing 1 and causing corrosion to the wire harness 3. Semi-circular waterproof sleeves 44 are installed in the middle of both ends of the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102. The waterproof sleeves 44 are fitted at the positions where the wire harness 3 passes through the two ends of the mounting housing 1, so that a seal is formed at the connection, preventing rainwater from seeping in from the wire opening and ensuring the airtightness.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 The connecting component 5 includes hinge seats 51 installed on both sides of the upper housing 101. A snap fastener 52 is hinged to the surface of the hinge seat 51. A torsion spring 53 is provided at the connection between the snap fastener 52 and the hinge seat 51.
