Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wire harness connector protective covers with a guiding structure, and particularly to wire harness connector protective covers with a guiding structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of automotive manufacturing technology, highly integrated vehicle production lines are gradually becoming mainstream. When supplying wiring harnesses to vehicle production lines, car manufacturers often use centralized packaging, packing 5-10 harnesses per box as required by the company. However, due to the special nature of wiring harness components, finished wiring harnesses cannot be securely fixed, and during assembly and transportation, the products may move relative to each other, causing mutual interference. In some cases, excessive force during packaging can even cause deformation or damage to wiring harness connectors, and misalignment of internal terminals. These problems affect the functionality of the wiring harness, leading to varying degrees of quality issues and causing losses for both the company and the supplier. When connectors and their internal functional terminals fail, become loose, or are damaged, it affects the corresponding functions of the vehicle, and in severe cases, can cause them to malfunction, even endangering the lives of vehicle users, posing a significant safety hazard. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can effectively solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a protective cover for a wire harness connector with a guiding structure. The protective cover includes a first receiving cavity adapted to the wire harness connector. The first receiving cavity has a bottom wall, so a terminal mounting cavity is provided inside the first receiving cavity. A plurality of mounting holes for mounting wire harness terminals are provided on the bottom wall. A guiding structure is provided on the inner wall of the mounting holes. The guiding structure includes two semi-circular arc grooves disposed opposite to each other on the inner wall of the mounting holes and elastic members respectively disposed between the semi-circular arc grooves and the inner wall of the mounting holes.
