Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness technology, specifically a wire harness for a clothes dryer. Background Technology

[0002] The wiring harness in a dryer typically refers to the electrical wiring harness inside the dryer used to connect the various components. These harnesses play a crucial role in the normal operation of the dryer, responsible for transmitting power and signals, and ensuring communication and coordinated operation between the various components.

[0003] Common wiring harnesses for dryers include wires, connectors, and cable ties. During use, the various interfaces of the dryer are connected or connected to an external power source through the connectors and wiring harness to supply power and signals. However, this method is troublesome because the wiring harness is easy to bend and tangle after connection, and the cable tie can only bundle the wires together and cannot handle individual wires. Moreover, the cable tie needs to be removed with tools such as scissors after it is tied, which makes it difficult to remove and repair the wiring harness later. This method cannot meet the working requirements of the wiring harness. Therefore, a wiring harness for dryers is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a wiring harness for a clothes dryer, which solves the technical problem that the wiring harness is prone to bending and tangling after connection, and the wiring harness can only be used for centralized bundling, making it difficult to remove and repair the wiring harness later.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wiring harness for a clothes dryer, comprising:

[0008] The cable management block has a squeezing block inserted inside it. Both the cable management block and the squeezing block have arc-shaped grooves inside, and both the cable management block and the squeezing block have square through grooves on their upper sides.

[0009] A spring is connected to the inner end of the extrusion block, and the outer ends of the springs are all connected to the corresponding positions of the inner cavity of the cable management block. Wires are inserted into the interior of the arc-shaped grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the arc-shaped grooves are all connected to the interior of the square through grooves, the outer edges of the arc-shaped grooves and the square through grooves are rounded, and the interiors of the arc-shaped grooves and the square through grooves are all lined with rubber pads.

[0011] Preferably, the outer end of each extrusion block is equipped with an arc-shaped plate, and the lower outer side of each cable management block is equipped with a connecting ear. Each connecting ear has a through hole inside. The added connecting ear facilitates the connection of the cable management block to the mounting plate inside the dryer.

[0012] Preferably, the number of springs is 2-4 sets, and each of the wire management blocks has a hinge seat installed on its top. Each hinge seat has a pressure plate installed inside through a bearing. The length of each pressure plate is greater than the width of the square through slot. The addition of multiple sets of springs improves the tightness of the extrusion block in extruding and clamping the wire.

[0013] Preferably, the pressure plate has a circular groove inside, and square grooves are formed on the lower side of the circular groove inside the pressure plate. A limit plate is installed on the top of the cable management block inside the square groove via a rotating shaft.

[0014] Preferably, a knob is installed on the top of the limiting plate, and extrusion balls are installed at the lower part of the pressure plate corresponding to the square through groove. The area of ​​the limiting plate is smaller than the area of ​​the square groove. By rotating the limiting plate to make it coincide with the square groove, the pressure plate and the extrusion balls can move. After the extrusion balls press on the top of the wire, rotating the limiting plate to make it perpendicular to the square groove can limit the pressure plate, thereby improving the stability of the wire installation.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a wiring harness for a clothes dryer, which has the following advantages:

[0017] This dryer uses a cable harness. By pressing the squeezing block, the arc-shaped and square through slots inside it align with the arc-shaped and square through slots inside the cable management block. The cable can then be inserted into the arc-shaped and square through slots. Releasing the squeezing block allows the spring to push the squeezing block to clamp the cable. This reduces friction between the cable harness and other objects during operation, reduces wear, and extends the cable harness's lifespan. In complex wiring environments, the cable management slider helps the cable harness smoothly pass through various obstacles and maintains its shape and stability, preventing the cable harness from tangling or twisting. At the same time, the cable management slider allows for individual and arbitrary installation and removal of the cable harness, making installation and removal easier and simplifying maintenance and replacement work.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: a wire harness for a clothes dryer, comprising a wire guide block 1, wire 2, extrusion block 3, arc-shaped groove 4, square through groove 5, spring 6, arc-shaped plate 7, connecting ear 8, hinge seat 9, pressure plate 10, circular groove 11, square groove 12, limiting plate 13, knob 14, and extrusion ball 15.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cable management block 1 has a squeezing block 3 inserted inside. Both the cable management block 1 and the squeezing block 3 have arc-shaped grooves 4 inside. Both the cable management block 1 and the squeezing block 3 have square through grooves 5 on the upper side inside.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 Spring 6 is connected to the inner end of the extrusion block 3. The outer ends of spring 6 are all connected to the corresponding positions of the inner cavity of the cable management block 1. Wires 2 are inserted into the interior of the arc-shaped grooves 4. The arc-shaped grooves 4 are all connected to the interior of the square through grooves 5. The outer edges of the arc-shaped grooves 4 and the square through grooves 5 are rounded. Rubber pads are laid inside the arc-shaped grooves 4 and the square through grooves 5. Arc-shaped plates 7 are installed on the outer ends of the extrusion block 3. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2The lower outer side of the cable management block 1 is equipped with connecting ears 8, and each connecting ear 8 has a through hole. There are 2-4 sets of springs 6. By pressing the squeezing block 3, the arc-shaped groove 4 and square through groove 5 inside it overlap with the arc-shaped groove 4 and square through groove 5 inside the cable management block 1, allowing the cable 2 to be inserted into the arc-shaped groove 4 and square through groove 5. Releasing the squeezing block 3 allows the springs 6 to push the squeezing block 3 to clamp the cable 2. This reduces friction between the cable harness and other objects during operation, reducing wear and extending the cable harness's lifespan. Furthermore, in complex wiring environments, the cable management slider helps the cable harness smoothly pass through various obstacles and maintains its shape and stability, preventing tangling or twisting. The cable management slider also allows for individual and arbitrary installation and removal of the cable harness, making installation and removal easier and simplifying maintenance and replacement work. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 Each cable management block 1 has a hinged base 9 mounted on its top. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The hinge seat 9 is equipped with a pressure plate 10 through a bearing. The length of the pressure plate 10 is greater than the width of the square through groove 5. The pressure plate 10 has a circular groove 11 inside. The pressure plate 10 has a square groove 12 below the circular groove 11. The top of the cable management block 1 is located inside the square groove 12 and is equipped with a limit plate 13 through a rotating shaft. The top of the limit plate 13 is equipped with a knob 14. The lower part of the pressure plate 10 is equipped with a compression ball 15 corresponding to the square through groove 5. The area of ​​the limit plate 13 is smaller than the area of ​​the square groove 12. By rotating the limit plate 13 to make it coincide with the square groove 12, the pressure plate 10 and the compression ball 15 can move. After the compression ball 15 presses on the top of the cable 2, rotating the limit plate 13 to make it perpendicular to the square groove 12 can limit the pressure plate 10 and improve the stability of the cable 2 installation.

[0027] This solution uses pressing block 3 to make its internal arc-shaped groove 4 and square through groove 5 overlap with the arc-shaped groove 4 and square through groove 5 inside cable management block 1, allowing the cable 2 to be inserted into the arc-shaped groove 4 and square through groove 5. Releasing pressing block 3 allows spring 6 to push pressing block 3 to move and clamp the cable 2. This reduces friction between the cable harness and other objects during operation, reduces wear, and extends the service life of the cable harness. In complex wiring environments, the cable management slider can help the cable harness pass smoothly through various obstacles and be shaped and stabilized, preventing the cable harness from tangling or twisting. At the same time, the cable management slider allows the cable harness to be installed and removed individually and at any position, making the installation and removal of the cable harness easier and simplifying maintenance and replacement work.
