[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. Example

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A wire harness fixing bracket includes a bracket platform 1, on which a wire harness fixing part is provided for wrapping and fixing automotive wire harnesses, and a connecting part is also provided on the bracket platform 1 for matching and installing with body sheet metal holes.

[0023] The wire harness fixing part includes a fixing member 2 and a clamping member 3. The fixing member 2 is fixedly set with the support platform 1. The fixing member 2 and the clamping member 3 are connected by an elastic sheet. The inner side of the fixing member 2 is provided with a long extrusion rubber strip 4, and the inner side of the clamping member 3 is provided with a short extrusion rubber strip 5 that is used in conjunction with the long extrusion rubber strip 4. The fixing member 2 is provided with a buckle 6, and the clamping member 3 is provided with an adjusting member 7 that is used in conjunction with the buckle 6.

[0024] Traditionally, galvanized rubber-coated tubing clamps are mostly used to secure automotive wiring harnesses. The wiring harness is wrapped in the clamp before being installed as a single unit onto a hole in the body panel. This method is simple, quick, and cost-effective. However, it has two main problems in practical use: First, the strength of the clamp's wrapping around the wiring harness is inconsistent. Because traditional galvanized rubber-coated clamps are mostly integrated, their diameter is constant. When there are many wiring harnesses, larger clamps are needed, and when there are fewer harnesses, smaller clamps are required. This leads to frequent... Changing between different types of pipe clamps increases the fixing time of automotive wiring harnesses and also increases the variety of fasteners in automotive assembly, thereby increasing installation costs and making material management more difficult. Secondly, traditional pipe clamps are inconvenient to connect to body sheet metal holes. Since the thickness of body sheet metal holes is not uniform in the production design, there are large differences in the size of body sheet metal holes. At the same time, different sizes of pipe clamps also require different types of bolts for fixing, which leads to different installation methods when fixing pipe clamps to the body. This installation method increases the overall installation time of automotive wiring harnesses. In order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a wiring harness fixing bracket.

[0025] The wiring harness fixing bracket of this utility model consists of three parts: a bracket platform 1, a wiring harness fixing part, and a connecting part. The wiring harness fixing part can fix the automotive wiring harness, and the connecting part can fix the wiring harness fixing part and the entire automotive wiring harness to the body sheet metal hole, thereby completing the connection between the automotive wiring harness and the automotive body. In order to change the problem of using different diameter clamps due to different numbers of automotive wiring harnesses in traditional methods, the wiring harness fixing part of this utility model can change the fixing diameter according to the different numbers of automotive wiring harnesses, thereby realizing the function of fixing different numbers of wiring harnesses with a single size wiring harness fixing bracket, which greatly reduces the assembly difficulty and the types of materials supplied. The connecting part can fix the entire wiring harness fixing bracket to the body sheet metal hole. This fixing method can be achieved without changing the size of the connecting part, reducing the installation difficulty and speeding up the fixing work of the entire wiring harness.

[0026] Furthermore, the connecting part includes a connector 8 disposed on the support platform 1. The connector 8 is provided with several elastic blades for use with sheet metal holes. The specific working principle of the connecting part is as follows: Since the connector 8 is disposed on the support platform 1, and the connector 8 has several elastic blades, all of which are oriented in the same direction, this arrangement is to facilitate the insertion of the elastic blades into the sheet metal holes. After forcefully squeezing the support platform 1, the connector 8 and the elastic blades can be forcibly pushed into the sheet metal holes. Due to the arrangement of the connector 8 and the elastic blades, the entire connecting part can be matched with sheet metal of 1-8mm thickness, thereby quickly completing the fixing of the wire harness fixing bracket. Compared with traditional pipe clamps, it is not necessary to frequently change the length of the connecting bolts, and the fixing method is simple, thus speeding up the fixing speed.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner side of the fastener 2 is provided with several dovetail tenons, and the long extrusion strip 4 is provided with several dovetail grooves that cooperate with the dovetail tenons. The long extrusion strip 4 is also provided with a storage groove. The fastening method of the short extrusion strip 5 on the inner side of the clamping part 3 is the same as that of the long extrusion strip 4 on the inner side of the fastener 2. Both are fastened by dovetail tenon engagement. This setting can not only reduce the production difficulty of a single wire harness fixing bracket, but also increase the assembly difficulty of the wire harness fixing bracket. By pushing the clamping part 3 toward the fastener 2, that is, inserting the adjusting part 7 on the clamping part 3 into the buckle 6, the clamping part 3 and the fastener 2 can restrict the automotive wire harness. Specifically, the restriction is the compression of the automotive wire harness by the long extrusion strip 4 and the short extrusion strip 5. By providing storage grooves on the long extrusion strip 4 and the short extrusion strip 5, wire harness pipes with diameters of φ18-21mm can be matched, which greatly increases the application range of the wire harness fixing part.

[0028] Furthermore, the adjusting member 7 is provided with several adjusting teeth, and the buckle 6 is provided with pressing teeth that cooperate with the adjusting teeth. The specific arrangement of the adjusting member 7 being inserted into the buckle 6 is as follows: the adjusting member 7 is provided with several adjusting teeth, and the buckle 6 is provided with pressing teeth. When the operator pushes the clamping member 3 toward the fixing member 2, the adjusting teeth on the adjusting member 7 will insert into the pressing teeth in the buckle 6. Due to the shape of the adjusting teeth and the pressing teeth, the adjusting member 7 will not reset after being inserted into the buckle 6. To unlock this fixed state, the unlocking block on the buckle 6 can be pulled, that is, the pressing teeth will release the limit of the adjusting teeth on the adjusting teeth.

[0029] Furthermore, the clamping member 3 is also provided with an operating block 301, and a reinforcing rib is provided between the operating block 301 and the clamping member 3. In order to facilitate the operator to squeeze the clamping member 3, the operating block 301 is provided on the clamping member 3. In order to further increase the strength of the operating block 301 and prevent the operating block 301 from breaking or deforming, a reinforcing rib is provided between the operating block 301 and the clamping member 3, which effectively improves the strength of the operating block 301.

[0030] Furthermore, the curvature of the fixing member 2 is greater than π rad. When the curvature of the fixing member 2 is greater than π rad, the cooperation between the clamping member 3 and the fixing member 2 can effectively squeeze the automotive wiring harness, and also reduce the squeezing of the clamping member 3 by the automotive wiring harness, thus ensuring the long-term use of the elastic sheet between the clamping member 3 and the fixing member 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the support platform 1 is tapered in shape. This tapered shape allows the support platform 1 to fit better against the frame, reducing the possibility of loosening of the connection due to vibration.
