Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring harness technology, specifically to an automotive wiring harness that is easy to install and fix. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are the main network of a car's electrical system. They consist of copper-plated contact terminals (connectors) crimped to wires and cables, then fitted with insulators or an outer metal casing, and bundled together to form the components that connect the circuits, much like the car's "nervous system." They are responsible for connecting various electronic devices, sensors, and actuators in the car, enabling the transmission of power and signals, ensuring that various systems can work together, and guaranteeing the normal operation of the vehicle, such as controlling engine ignition, transmitting sensor data, and powering the lights.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 201721776181.2 discloses an automotive wiring harness terminal. This terminal includes an upper terminal metal body, a lower terminal metal body, and a connecting sleeve for threading the automotive wiring harness. One end of the connecting sleeve extends outwards to form a connecting portion. An upper mounting groove is formed on the upper side of the outer periphery of the connecting portion, and a lower mounting groove is formed on the lower side of the outer periphery of the connecting portion. A rubber sleeve covers the connecting sleeve. The upper terminal metal body, upper wing, lower terminal metal body, and lower wing are all located within the rubber sleeve. This automotive wiring harness terminal effectively prevents dust or humid air from entering between the upper and lower terminal metal bodies, effectively protecting the connection between the terminal and the wire core, improving the transmission quality between the automotive wiring harness and the terminal. Furthermore, the arc-shaped piece abuts against the insulation layer of the automotive wiring harness within the connecting sleeve, preventing the wire core from detaching from the upper and lower terminal metal bodies due to external pulling.

[0004] During the installation and use of automotive wiring harnesses, terminals are typically secured inside connectors using snap-fit ​​or screw connections. However, when connectors or terminals are damaged and need replacement, the large number of wiring harnesses and terminals can easily lead to confusion during removal and replacement. This forces workers to meticulously identify the connection position of each terminal during reinstallation, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also increases the risk of installation errors.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign and modify automotive wiring harnesses that are easy to install and fix, so as to effectively prevent them from becoming complicated to install. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive wiring harness that is easy to install and fix, has the advantage of being easy to use, and solves the problem of its complex installation.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automotive wiring harness that is easy to install and fix, comprising a wiring harness and a splitting mechanism. The splitting mechanism includes terminals fixedly connected to the surface of the wiring harness. The surface of the terminals is provided with connectors. Two splitting plates are provided on the upper side of the connectors. The inner sides of the splitting plates are in contact with each other and have multiple wire grooves. The inner walls of the wire grooves are movably connected to the surface of the wiring harness. A pressure plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the splitting plate. The pressure plate can be inserted into the interior of the splitting plate through the right side of the splitting plate, thereby squeezing the wiring harness one by one into the wire grooves. Insert plates are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the pressure plate. The insert plates can pass through the right side of the splitting plate to the left side of the splitting plate, thereby fixing the combined state of the splitting plates. A snap-fit ​​mechanism is provided on the front and rear sides of the wiring harness.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a buckle fixedly connected to the outside of the splitter plate. The buckle is made of elastic material. A fixing block is movably connected to the inside of the buckle. The inside of the fixing block is fixedly connected to the front and back of the connector. A limit frame is fixedly connected to the top of each fixing block. A pad is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit frame. The top of the pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the splitter plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, each of the buckles is fixedly connected to a toggle plate at its bottom, which can easily lift the buckle.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the inner wall of the wire trough is fixedly connected with a spacer, and the spacer has elasticity and vibration damping capability.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a pull plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the pressure plate, and the pull plate can easily drive the pressure plate and the plug plate to move left and right.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the top of the limiting frame is provided with an angle, which facilitates the insertion of the pad into the interior of the limiting frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. When this utility model is used, the wire harness can be separated one by one under the action of the wire splitting mechanism and the snap-fit ​​mechanism, thereby avoiding the complicated installation caused by the easy confusion after the automotive wire harness and connector are removed, and making it easy to use.

[0015] 2. This utility model, through the setting of a snap-fit ​​mechanism, makes the wire splitter plate more secure and flexible in its fixation. The movable connection between the snap-fit ​​and the fixing block, and the sliding connection between the pad and the limiting frame, not only ensure the stability of the wire splitter plate during the wire splitting process, but also facilitate the disassembly and adjustment of the wire splitter plate when needed. This design improves the versatility and maintainability of the wire harness splitting device. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides an easy-to-install and fix automotive wiring harness, including a wiring harness 1 and a splitting mechanism. The splitting mechanism includes terminals 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the wiring harness 1. The surface of the terminals 2 is provided with connectors 3. Two splitting plates 4 are provided on the upper side of the connectors 3. The inner sides of the splitting plates 4 are in contact with each other and have multiple wire grooves 5. The inner wall of the wire grooves 5 is movably connected to the surface of the wiring harness 1. A pressure plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the splitting plate 4. The pressure plate 6 can be inserted into the interior of the splitting plate 4 through the right side of the splitting plate 4, thereby squeezing the wiring harness 1 into the wire grooves 5 one by one. Insert plates 7 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the pressure plate 6. The insert plates 7 can pass through the right side of the splitting plate 4 to the left side of the splitting plate 4, thereby fixing the combined state of the splitting plate 4. The front and rear sides of the wiring harness 1 are provided with snap-fit ​​mechanisms.

[0023] refer to Figure 3 The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a snap-fit ​​8 fixedly connected to the outside of the splitter plate 4. The snap-fit ​​8 is made of elastic material. A fixing block 9 is movably connected to the inside of the snap-fit ​​8. The inside of the fixing block 9 is fixedly connected to the front and back of the connector 3. A limit frame 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing block 9. A pad 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit frame 10. The top of the pad 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the splitter plate 4.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the snap-fit ​​mechanism makes the wire splitter 4 more secure and flexible in its fixation. The movable connection between the snap-fit ​​8 and the fixing block 9, and the sliding connection between the pad 11 and the limiting frame 10, ensure the stability of the wire splitter 4 during the wire splitting process, and also facilitate the disassembly and adjustment of the wire splitter 4 when needed. This design improves the versatility and maintainability of the wire harness 1 wire splitting device.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 Each buckle 8 has a fixed actuating plate 12 at its bottom, which can easily lift the buckle 8.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the toggle plate 12, the lifting operation of the buckle 8 is made more convenient, reducing the labor intensity of the operator. When it is necessary to disassemble or adjust the locking mechanism, the operator only needs to toggle the toggle plate 12 to lift the buckle 8, without the need for additional tools or strenuous operation, thus improving work efficiency.

[0027] refer to Figure 4 The inner wall of the cable tray 5 is fixedly connected with a spacer 13, which has elasticity and vibration damping ability.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the spacer 13, the vibration and impact experienced by the wire harness 1 during the splitting process can be effectively reduced. This helps protect the insulation layer and conductor of the wire harness 1, extends the service life of the wire harness 1, and improves the stability and reliability of the connection of the wire harness 1.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 A pull plate 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the pressure plate 6, which can easily move the pressure plate 6 and the plug plate 7 left and right.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the pull plate 14, the movement of the wire clamping plate 6 and the insertion plate 7 is made more convenient, facilitating the operator's wire splitting and fixing operations. The operator only needs to pull the pull plate 14 to move the wire clamping plate 6 and the insertion plate 7 left and right, without having to directly contact the wire clamping plate 6 and the insertion plate 7, thus improving the safety and convenience of operation.

[0031] refer to Figure 4 The top of the limiting frame 10 is provided with an angle 15, which makes it easier for the pad 11 to be inserted into the interior of the limiting frame 10.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting an angle of 15, it is easier for the pad 11 to be inserted into the interior of the limiting frame 10, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the wire harness 1 splitting device mainly consists of a wire harness 1, a splitting mechanism, and a snap-fit ​​mechanism. In the splitting mechanism, a connector 3 is provided on the surface of the terminal 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the wire harness 1. Two splitting plates 4 on the upper side of the connector 3 are in contact with each other and have multiple wire grooves 5. The inner wall of the wire groove 5 is movably connected to the surface of the wire harness 1, and a pressure plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the splitting plate 4. When the splitting mechanism is installed on the wire harness 1, the pressure plate 6 is inserted from the right side of the splitting plate 4 by pulling the plate 14. During insertion, the pressure plate 6 squeezes the wire harness 1 into the wire grooves 5 one by one, realizing the splitting function of the wire harness 1. The insertion plates 7 fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the pressure plate 6 can pass through the right side of the splitting plate 4 to the left side, thereby fixing the combined state of the splitting plate 4 (fixed by friction) and ensuring the stability of the splitting. The snap-fit ​​mechanism is used to further fix the position of the splitting plate 4. The clip 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the splitter plate 4 and is made of elastic material. A fixing block 9 is movably connected to its inner side, and the inner side of the fixing block 9 is fixedly connected to the front and back of the connector 3. A limiting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing block 9, and a pad 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting frame 10. The top of the pad 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the splitter plate 4. When it is necessary to fix the splitter plate 4, the pad 11 is inserted into the limiting frame 10, and the splitter plate 4 is securely fixed through the cooperation of the clip 8 and the fixing block 9. The actuating plate 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the clip 8 can easily lift the clip 8, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the snap-fit ​​mechanism. The spacer 13 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wire trough 5 has elasticity and vibration damping capabilities, which can reduce the vibration and damage to the wire harness 1 during the splitting process. The pull plate 14 fixedly connected to the right side of the pressure plate 6 can easily move the pressure plate 6 and the insertion plate 7 left and right, facilitating the operator's splitting and fixing operations. The bevel 15 at the top of the limiting frame 10 facilitates the insertion of the pad 11 into the limiting frame 10, improving the installation efficiency of the snap-fit ​​mechanism. This allows the wire harnesses 1 to be separated one by one into the wire groove 5, preventing them from becoming tangled or twisted. It also facilitates the reinstallation of the terminals 2 into the connectors 3, enhancing the stability of the connection between the wire harnesses 1 and the connectors 3. This avoids the complex installation caused by the disassembly of the automotive wire harnesses 1 and connectors 3, making it easy to use.

[0034] In summary, when this utility model is used, the wire harness 1 can be separated one by one under the action of the wire splitting mechanism and the snap-fit ​​mechanism, thereby avoiding the complicated installation caused by the easy confusion after the automotive wire harness 1 and connector 3 are removed, and making it easy to use.
