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.
[0023] This embodiment provides a reinforced wire harness tail clip, which can be applied to the wire exit position of a box / shell (such as an electrical appliance shell, an electronic product shell, a power distribution cabinet, a control cabinet, and a battery compartment, etc.) to fix the wire harness, thereby preventing the wire harness from rubbing against the box / shell, and also providing sealing performance for the wire harness exit position.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-3. The reinforced wire harness tail clip of this embodiment includes a tail clip body component 10 and a reinforcing component 20.
[0025] The tail card body component 10 is an integrally injection-molded engineering plastic component, which has a certain degree of flexibility.
[0026] The reinforcing member 20 is rigid. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 20 is made of stainless steel, thus having good rigidity. In other embodiments, the reinforcing member 20 may also be made of aluminum alloy or other rigid metal materials.
[0027] The reinforcing member 20 is integrally injection molded and embedded in the tail card body member 10. In this way, the mechanical strength of the tail card body member 10 can be improved by the reinforcing member 20.
[0028] Specifically, the tail clip body component 10 includes at least a main structural ring 101, which is an integrally injection-molded ring structure; the reinforcing member 20 is an annular sheet structure. In this embodiment, a wire hole 201 is provided in the center of the reinforcing member 20, so that the reinforcing member 20 is an annular sheet structure; the reinforcing member 20 is embedded in the main structural ring 101 of the tail clip body component 10. In this way, the mechanical strength of the main structural ring 101 of the tail clip body component 10 can be improved by the reinforcing member 20.
[0029] Furthermore, the two sides of the main structural ring 101 of the tail clip body component 10 are the assembly side 101a and the cable exit side 101b, respectively; the tail clip body component 10 also includes a cable exit ring structure 102, which is a tubular structure. The cable exit ring structure 102 is connected to the cable exit side 101b of the main structural ring 101. In this embodiment, the cable exit ring structure 102 is integrally formed on the cable exit side 101b of the main structural ring 101. In other embodiments, the cable exit ring structure 102 can also be sleeved on the cable exit side 101b of the main structural ring 101 by an interference fit; the cable exit ring structure 102 of the tail clip body component 10 is suitable for the wire harness to pass through, so as to further protect the wire harness.
[0030] Furthermore, the tail clip body component 10 also includes an adhesive dispensing structure 103, which is located on the assembly side 101a of the main structural ring 101. The adhesive dispensing structure 103 of the tail clip body component 10 is adapted for the wire harness to pass through, and the adhesive dispensing structure 103 of the tail clip body component 10 is adapted to be treated with adhesive. In this embodiment, the assembly side 101a of the main structural ring 101 is integrally injection molded with a ring structure, and the inner side of the ring structure is the adhesive dispensing structure 103. The adhesive dispensing structure 103 can be configured to apply adhesive at the wire exit point of the wire harness to improve the waterproof sealing performance between the wire harness and the tail clip body component 10.
[0031] Furthermore, a first mounting hole 101c is provided at the main structural ring 101 of the tail clip body component 10. The first mounting hole 101c is an integrally formed hole-like structural feature at the main structural ring 101 of the tail clip body component 10. A second mounting hole 202 is provided at the reinforcing member 20. The second mounting hole 202 is an integrally formed hole-like structural feature at the reinforcing member 20. The first mounting hole 101c of the main structural ring 101 and the second mounting hole 202 of the reinforcing member 20 are aligned with each other. The arrangement of the first mounting hole 101c and the second mounting hole 202 allows the reinforced wire harness tail clip of this embodiment to be passed through by screws or bolts, thereby enabling the reinforced wire harness tail clip of this embodiment to be conveniently fixed to a fixed body (such as an electrical appliance housing, an electronic product housing, a power distribution cabinet, a control cabinet, and a battery compartment).
[0032] Furthermore, the main structural ring 101 of the tail clip body component 10 has a positioning rib 101d formed on its assembly side 101a surface to position the reinforced wire harness tail clip of this embodiment during assembly, so as to prevent the reinforced wire harness tail clip of this embodiment from being misinstalled / reversely installed. In this embodiment, the positioning rib 101d is a rib-shaped structural feature integrally formed on the main structural ring 101 of the tail clip body component 10.
[0033] This embodiment also provides a wire harness assembly, which includes the aforementioned reinforced wire harness tail clip.
[0034] The wiring harness assembly of this embodiment also includes a wiring harness body 30, wherein the wiring harness body 30 includes at least a plurality of cables, which may be power lines or signal lines, and the wiring harness body 30 is covered with an outer sheath, which is used for insulation and signal shielding.
[0035] The harness body 30 passes through the tail clip body component 10 and the reinforcing component 20.
[0036] Specifically, the wire harness body 30 passes sequentially through the wire outlet ring structure 102, the main structure ring 101, and the adhesive dispensing structure 103 of the tail clip body component 10; the adhesive dispensing structure 103 of the tail clip body component 10 is treated with adhesive to improve the waterproof sealing performance between the wire harness body 30 and the tail clip body component 10.
[0037] In this embodiment, the wire harness assembly is manufactured by prefabricating a reinforcing member 20 and a wire harness body 30. Then, the reinforcing member 20 and the wire harness body 30 are placed into the injection mold of the tail clip body component 10, and plastic material is injected into the mold to form the main structural ring 101, the wire outlet ring structure 102, and the glue dispensing structure 103 of the tail clip body component 10. After the plastic material cools and solidifies, demolding yields the assembly of the tail clip body component 10, the reinforcing member 20, and the wire harness body 30 (i.e., the wire harness assembly of this embodiment). Finally, glue dispensing is performed at the glue dispensing structure 103 of the tail clip body component 10, thus completing the manufacturing process of the wire harness assembly of this embodiment.
[0038] In this embodiment, the reinforced wire harness tail clip and the wire harness assembly using it have a reinforcing member 20 that is integrally injection molded and embedded in the tail clip body member 10, which effectively improves the mechanical strength of the tail clip body member 10. This gives the reinforced wire harness tail clip and the wire harness assembly using it the characteristics of high mechanical strength, strong stability and durability.
