AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing engine wiring harness connectors are prone to detachment due to misoperation or external pressure in special environments, resulting in loose connections and poor contact, which affects the normal operation of the electronic control system.

Method used

An anti-disengagement component is installed inside the wire harness connector, including a "U"-shaped rear frame and a flexible locking tongue. The flexible locking tongue is locked onto the locking stop bar to prevent it from moving upward and disengaging from the limiting protrusion, thereby enhancing connection stability.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents the separation and detachment of wiring harness connectors, improves the safety and reliability of engine wiring harness assembly and electronic control system, and avoids fault codes and abnormal system response.
