Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior technology, and more specifically, to a hidden external wiring harness channel structure inside the armrest box of the sub-instrument assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive interiors, the center console area of ​​the passenger dashboard often features connection ports for external devices such as USB ports (e.g., mobile phones, VR glasses). In traditional designs, external wiring harnesses such as data cables are usually led out directly from openings in the center console cover or the surface of the box.

[0003] Traditional USB ports in enclosed armrest boxes of the secondary dashboard often result in mobile phone data cables getting stuck between the armrest and the box during actual use, which can easily cause wear and tear on the data cables and the box. Furthermore, opening the armrest makes it extremely inconvenient to use, and the holes on the armrest surface for threading wires disrupt the integrity of the armrest, making it prone to dust accumulation and unsightly.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed a hidden external wiring harness channel structure inside the armrest box of the sub-instrument assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the issue that in the traditional enclosed armrest box of the sub-dashboard, the USB interface results in the mobile phone data cable being caught between the armrest and the box during actual use, which easily causes wear and tear on the data cable and the box. Furthermore, opening the armrest makes it extremely inconvenient to use, and the opening on the armrest surface for threading the cable bundle disrupts the integrity of the armrest, making it prone to dust accumulation and unsightly.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The sub-instrument panel features a concealed external wiring harness channel structure within the armrest box to address the aforementioned issues.

[0010] To achieve the above technical solution, the blow-molded wire harness channel is designed as a core isolation component. It uses an integrated blow molding process to form an independent wiring path, completely encasing the data cable inside the channel. This physically isolates the data cable from the inner wall of the armrest compartment and the bottom surface of the armrest cover. The data cable is never exposed in the movement area of ​​the armrest opening and closing, avoiding direct contact between the data cable and the armrest or compartment, reducing the wear rate of the wire harness.

This ensures that the use of the armrest and the use of the data cable 14 do not interfere with each other. As a core isolation component, the blow-molded wiring harness channel uses an integrated blow molding process to form an independent wiring path, completely encasing the data cable inside the channel. This achieves physical isolation from the inner wall of the armrest compartment and the bottom surface of the armrest cover. The data cable is not exposed in the movement area of ​​the armrest opening and closing, avoiding direct contact between the data cable and the armrest and compartment, reducing the wear rate of the wiring harness. The armrest surface has no openings, improving the aesthetics of the interior.
