[0002] In the complex electrical system inside a car, the wiring harness in the driver's cab plays a vital role, undertaking the task of power transmission and signal interaction for various electrical devices in the vehicle, and the wiring harness connector is the key component to ensure that this task is carried out smoothly.

[0003] In current automotive wiring harness connection solutions, the complex spatial layout of the passenger compartment results in a large number of wiring harnesses with intricate routing, and traditional connectors lack effective securing designs. During assembly, technicians need to spend a significant amount of time and effort accurately connecting and securing each wiring harness, and it is difficult to straighten the harnesses, leading to extremely low assembly efficiency. Furthermore, improper wiring harness assembly and bundling methods can easily cause problems such as wire tangling and wear, creating safety hazards for subsequent vehicle use, potentially leading to frequent electrical failures, reducing the overall quality of the vehicle and user satisfaction.

[0004] On the other hand, during vehicle maintenance, repair personnel need to operate in the confined space of the driver's cab. Due to the less-than-ideal design of the connectors, repair personnel often need to use both hands to complete the disassembly and assembly, which brings great inconvenience to the repair work, increases the difficulty and time cost of repair, and may even delay the repair of faults in some emergency situations, causing greater losses.

[0005] Given the shortcomings of existing automotive wiring harness connectors in assembly and maintenance operations, and the industry's growing demand for higher-performance connectors, wiring harness connections require more efficient, convenient, and reliable solutions to meet the increasing performance requirements of modern electrical equipment. Utility Model Content

[0034] This application provides an automotive wiring harness connector, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a male end sheath 1 and a female end sheath 2. The male end sheath 1 and the female end sheath 2 are respectively provided with multiple wire harness access holes 21. The outer shell of the female end sheath 2 is provided with a mounting rocker plate 22. The outer shell of the male end sheath 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11 that is adapted to the mounting rocker plate 22. The mounting rocker plate 22 is located on both sides of the female end sheath 2 and is engaged with the mounting groove 11 on the corresponding side.

[0035] This application solution uses mounting pry bars 22 to achieve a locking connection between the female end sheath 2 and the male end sheath 1, thus completing the locking connection between them. Positioning the mounting pry bars 22 on both sides of the female end sheath 2 ensures that the two ends of the female end sheath 2 and the male end sheath 1 connect during connection, improving connection stability. Furthermore, the mounting pry bars 22 at both ends guide the connection between the male end sheath 1 and the female end sheath 2, ensuring a smooth connection of the wiring harness, preventing tangling and improving assembly stability and efficiency, while saving manpower and time costs. When maintenance and disassembly are required, pressing the mounting pry bars 22 on both sides disassembles the female end sheath 2 from the male end sheath 1, allowing the female end sheath 2 to easily detach from the male end sheath 1. Even in confined spaces within the cab, maintenance personnel can perform disassembly and assembly with one hand, reducing the difficulty and improving maintenance efficiency while reducing maintenance time.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the mounting rocker 22 includes a limiting end 221 fixed to the female end sheath 2 and a rocker end 222 connected to the limiting end 221. A rocker gap is provided between the rocker end 222 and the side wall of the female end sheath 2.

[0037] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 223 is provided between the limiting end 221 and the lifting end 222, the bottom of the mounting groove 11 is provided with an opening 111 into which the limiting end 221 extends, the side wall of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a window 112 communicating with the opening 111, a connecting beam 113 is provided between the opening 111 and the window 112, and the limiting protrusion 223 is engaged with the connecting beam 113.

[0038] The limiting end 221 is fixed to the female end sleeve 2, thereby maintaining the connection between the entire mounting rocker 22 and the female end sleeve 2. It can be understood that the mounting rocker 22 and the female end sleeve 2 can be integrally formed or separately formed. The rocker end 222 connected to the limiting end 221 is preferably integrally formed, so as to ensure that the mounting rocker 22 can still be used stably after multiple disassemblies and reassemblies during long-term use. A perforated gap is provided between the lifting end 222 and the side wall of the female end sheath 2. As shown in the figure, when the female end sheath 2 is connected to the male end sheath 1, the lifting end 222 of the mounting plate 22 maintains a perforated gap with the side wall of the female end sheath 2. The limiting protrusion 223 is locked on the connecting beam 113 between the window 112 and the opening 111, so that the female end sheath 2 and the male end sheath 1 are connected in a limited manner. When disassembling, the lifting end 222 is pressed against the side wall of the female end sheath 2. At this time, the limiting protrusion 223 also moves against the side wall of the female end sheath 2 as the lifting end 222 is pressed, releasing the locking at the connecting beam 113, thereby releasing the locking between the female end sheath 2 and the male end sheath 1, and the female end sheath 2 can be easily disassembled.

[0039] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the opening 111 is located in the direction of the movement path when the female end sheath 2 and the male end sheath 1 are connected, and the raised end 222 is exposed outside the opening 111.

[0040] An opening 111 is located at the bottom of the mounting groove 11. The mounting rocker 22 is inserted into the male end sleeve 1 through the opening 111. The opening 111 and the window 112 are combined to guide the insertion path of the mounting rocker 22. The window 112 allows the limiting protrusion 223 to engage while facilitating observation of the connection status of the mounting rocker 22. The rocker end 222 protrudes from the opening 111, facilitating pressing operations during disassembly and enabling quick disassembly.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the outer shell of the male end sheath 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​member 12 and a snap-fit ​​groove 13 adapted to the snap-fit ​​member 12. The snap-fit ​​member 12 and the snap-fit ​​groove 13 are arranged opposite to each other on the outer shell of the male end sheath 1.

[0042] The snap-fit ​​connector 12 and snap-fit ​​slot 13 are adapted to each other. When multiple wire harness connections are required, multiple wire harness connectors can be set up to make reasonable use of space. Each wire harness connector is connected to the snap-fit ​​connector 12 through the snap-fit ​​slot 13, so that multiple wire harness connectors are arranged in an orderly manner and avoid each connector from needing to be connected to the vehicle body, thus reducing the difficulty of connection.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​component 12 includes a base 121, with stepped protrusions 122 on both sides of the base 121, and a snap-fit ​​groove 13 with a sliding groove 131 that matches the protrusions 122. This design facilitates the protrusion of the snap-fit ​​portion, allowing the snap-fit ​​component 12 to quickly reach its position during assembly of the snap-fit ​​groove 13 and the snap-fit ​​component 12, guided by the sliding groove 131. The assembly method is simple and quick.

[0044] Preferably, the mounting groove 11 is located on the adjacent sidewall of the snap-fit ​​member 12 and the snap-fit ​​groove 13. The snap-fit ​​member 12 and the snap-fit ​​groove 13 are arranged opposite each other to facilitate the connection between the male end sleeves 1. The mounting groove 11 is located on one side and is adjacent to both the snap-fit ​​member 12 and the snap-fit ​​groove 13, so that after the connection between the male end sleeves 1 is completed, each male end sleeve 1 can be docked with the female end sleeve 2.

[0045] Preferably, both the snap-fit ​​member 12 and the snap-fit ​​groove 13 protrude from the outer shell of the male end sheath 1.

[0046] The protruding design of the snap-fit ​​connector 12 and snap-fit ​​slot 13 makes it easy to quickly locate the snap-fit ​​position during installation, and also makes it easy to locate the position for manual operation when disassembly is required, while also making it easy to observe the connection between the two.

[0047] A vehicle includes a body, the body being provided with the automotive wiring harness connector described in the above embodiment, and the body having a snap-fit ​​groove adapted to the snap-fit ​​member 12. The snap-fit ​​member 12 of the male end sleeve 1 is engaged with the snap-fit ​​groove of the body. It is understood that the snap-fit ​​groove of the body is configured in the same way as the snap-fit ​​groove 13 provided on the male end sleeve 1, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the male end sleeve 1 on the body. Moreover, this method only requires fixing a single male end sleeve 1 to the vehicle end, and the other male end sleeves 1 can be connected to each other.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle is equipped with multiple male end sleeves 1. The snap-fit ​​piece 12 of each male end sleeve 1 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 13 of the adjacent male end sleeve 1, and each male end sleeve 1 is connected to the corresponding female end sleeve 2. When setting up multiple wire harness connectors, the snap-fit ​​between the male end sleeves 1 is completed first, and then the snap-fit ​​between each male end sleeve 1 and the corresponding female end sleeve 2 is performed.

[0050] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0051] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
