Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to a quick-release tool for automotive seat wiring harnesses. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the assembly and disassembly of seat wiring harnesses is a critical step in the production process, crucial for ensuring the stability of the seat's electrical connections and overall functionality. However, current traditional wiring harness disassembly methods have many shortcomings, severely impacting production efficiency and operator safety.

[0003] Traditionally, there are two main methods for removing wire harnesses. The first method involves using pliers or needle-nose pliers to clamp the wire harness clips and pull them out by applying force up and down or left and right. However, this method has significant drawbacks. The teeth of pliers and needle-nose pliers are usually quite sharp, while the wire harness housing and clips are mostly made of plastic. This direct clamping method easily damages the wire harness and clips, increasing repair costs and potentially affecting the wire harness's reusability. The second method is to remove the wire harness clips by hand. This method relies entirely on the operator's physical strength to pull out the clips, making it extremely strenuous. During the forceful removal, excessive force can easily injure the operator's hands, causing personal injury. Furthermore, the space on most areas of a car seat is relatively confined, making it difficult for hands to pass through, which further complicates the process of removing wire harness clips by hand, reducing work efficiency and increasing the operator's workload. Given that seat wiring harness assembly and disassembly are essential processes in the automotive seat production process, and that they occur 100% of the time, there is an urgent need to invent an efficient auxiliary tool suitable for disassembling seat wiring harnesses. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a low-cost and easy-to-use quick-release tool for automotive seat wiring harnesses, which can easily and quickly remove wiring harness clips while avoiding damage to the wiring harness and clips, ensuring the safety of operators, reducing manpower consumption, and improving production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a quick-release tool for automotive seat wiring harnesses, including a wiring harness opener. The wiring harness opener is formed by bending a metal plate and includes a main body and a first arch and a second arch at both ends. The height of the first arch is greater than the height of the second arch, and both the first arch and the second arch have a "V"-shaped opening at their ends. The edges of the "V"-shaped opening are rounded. The overall length of the wiring harness opener is 238-242 mm, and the width is 18-22 mm.

[0006] In the above scheme: the height of the first bridge arch is 13-14mm, and the height of the second bridge arch is 10-11mm. The different heights are to adapt to the wire harness clip surface with different slopes.

[0007] In the above design: the opening angle of the first bridge arch is 33°, and the opening angle of the second bridge arch is 11°. The 33° opening angle of the first bridge arch is relatively large, making it suitable for wire harness clips with steeper slopes, allowing for easier insertion and application of prying force. The 11° opening angle of the second bridge arch is relatively small, making it suitable for wire harness clips with gentler slopes, ensuring that the clip is securely engaged during prying and preventing slippage.

[0008] In the above solution: the maximum opening size of the first bridge arch and the second bridge arch is 10mm. The maximum opening size of 10mm can be adapted to a variety of common wire harness clips, making the quick-release tool widely applicable.

[0009] In the above solution: the main body of the wire harness opener is fitted with a silicone anti-slip cover. The silicone material has excellent anti-slip properties, effectively increasing the friction between the wire harness opener and the operator's hand, preventing the tool from slipping during prying, thus ensuring operational stability and safety. The soft and elastic silicone anti-slip cover also conforms to the curve of the hand, reducing pressure and discomfort caused by prolonged tool use, and improving operational comfort.

[0010] In the above solution: the silicone anti-slip cover is 145mm long and 0.2mm thick. The 145mm length design covers the main gripping area of ​​the wire harness opener, ensuring that the operator can fully experience the comfort and anti-slip properties of the silicone anti-slip cover when holding the tool. The 0.2mm thickness ensures both the softness and elasticity of the silicone anti-slip cover, while avoiding the inconvenience and hand fatigue caused by excessive thickness.

[0011] In the above solution: the thickness of the main body of the wire harness opener is 2mm, and the thickness of the first and second bridge arches gradually decreases to 1mm from the inside out. The thinner bridge arches can more easily enter narrow spaces, while the thicker main body can withstand greater prying forces, reducing deformation and damage to the tool during long-term use.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The wire harness opener features a double-arch design, adapting to wire harness clip surfaces with varying slopes. The lower arch is used on gentler surfaces, while the higher arch is used on steeper surfaces, making disassembly smoother and significantly improving efficiency. 2. Traditional disassembly methods easily damage wire harnesses and clips. This wire harness opener securely holds the clips with a "V"-shaped opening and utilizes the arch design for prying, effectively preventing damage to the wire harness and clips. 3. It requires less physical effort, reducing operator workload and improving comfort. Traditional manual or pliers disassembly methods pose safety hazards and can easily cause hand injuries. This wire harness opener's reasonable design effectively prevents hand injuries during use, enhancing operational safety. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of this utility model will become apparent and readily understood from the description of the embodiments taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0016] Figure 2 This is a side view of the present invention.

[0017] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A bottom view. Detailed Implementation

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 3, a quick-release tool for automotive seat wiring harnesses is a wiring harness opener 1.

[0019] The wire harness opener 1 is made of bent metal plate and includes a main body and two end arches 2 and 3. The height of the first arch 2 is greater than the height of the second arch 3, and both the first arch 2 and the second arch 3 have a "V" shaped opening 4 at their ends (the cut is completely polished smooth). The edges of the "V" shaped opening 4 are rounded. The overall length of the wire harness opener 1 is 238-242mm, and the width is 18-22mm.

[0020] The height of the first arch 2 is 13-14mm, and the height of the second arch 3 is 10-11mm. The different heights are to accommodate wire harness clip surfaces with different slopes.

[0021] The opening angle of the first arch 2 is 33°, and the opening angle of the second arch 3 is 11°. The larger opening angle of the first arch 2 (33°) is suitable for wire harness clips with steeper slopes, allowing for easier insertion and application of prying force. The smaller opening angle of the second arch 3 (11°) is suitable for wire harness clips with gentler slopes, ensuring that the clip is securely engaged during prying and preventing slippage.

[0022] The maximum opening size of the first bridge arch 2 and the second bridge arch 3 is 10mm. The maximum opening size of 10mm can be adapted to a variety of common wire harness clips, making this quick-release tool widely applicable.

[0023] Ideally, the main body of the wire harness opener 1 is fitted with a silicone anti-slip cover 5. Silicone material has excellent anti-slip properties, effectively increasing the friction between the wire harness opener 1 and the operator's hand, preventing the tool from slipping during prying, thus ensuring operational stability and safety. The soft elasticity of the silicone anti-slip cover 5 also conforms to the curves of the hand, reducing pressure and discomfort caused by prolonged tool use, and improving operational comfort.

[0024] Ideally, the silicone anti-slip cover 5 should be 145mm long and 0.2mm thick. The 145mm length covers the main gripping area of ​​the wire harness starter 1, ensuring the operator can fully experience the comfort and anti-slip properties of the silicone anti-slip cover 5 when holding the tool. The 0.2mm thickness ensures both the softness and elasticity of the silicone anti-slip cover 5, while avoiding the inconvenience and hand fatigue caused by excessive thickness.

[0025] Ideally, the thickness of the main body of the wire harness opener 1 should be 2mm, while the thickness of the first bridge arch 2 and the second bridge arch 3 should gradually decrease to 1mm from the inside out. The thinner bridge arch can more easily enter narrow spaces, while the thicker main body can withstand greater prying force, reducing deformation and damage to the tool during long-term use.

[0026] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Select a suitable arch according to the slope of the wire harness clip. Use the lower end of the arch on a gentler surface and the higher end of the arch on a steeper surface. Align the opening of the wire harness opener 1 with the root of the wire harness clip, and then push it forward so that the wire harness clip is inserted into the opening of the wire harness opener 1. Then, pry it upward or downward with appropriate force to release the wire harness clip.
