Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring harness bracket technology, specifically an integrated protective assembly for automotive wiring harnesses with protective plates and rubber sleeves. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive wiring harness brackets exist to secure automotive wiring harnesses and connectors, fixing them in their proper positions. With the increasing prevalence of automotive intelligence and the growing use of automotive electronic components, wiring harnesses, as the transmission paths between these components, are becoming increasingly widespread in automobiles, leading to a proliferation of branches. This widespread use of wiring harnesses necessitates the frequent use of brackets or rubber components to secure their various branches and connectors. This has resulted in increasingly stringent requirements for brackets from OEMs, leading to problems such as the potential for sheaths to detach due to incompatibility with different sheaths. Wiring harness brackets are typically elongated and have both inlet and outlet ports. Due to their wide applicability, market demands for wiring harness brackets are constantly increasing, requiring them to meet both functional assembly needs and high strength. However, due to structural limitations, the assembly performance of ordinary wire harness brackets can no longer meet the requirements of some applications. For example, the mounting points of some imported sheaths are too low (≤0.35mm height). Changing the raw materials can only improve the wire harness bracket. Therefore, it is necessary to design a structure that can adapt to the wire harness routing requirements while allowing the wire harness a relatively free structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides an integrated protective assembly for automotive wiring harnesses, thus solving the aforementioned issues.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated protective assembly for automotive wiring harnesses, comprising a protective plate and a base plate, wherein the protective plate and the base plate are snapped together, a rubber sleeve is connected to the protective plate, a controller is provided on the rubber sleeve, and a fixing component is provided on the base plate;

[0005] The fixing component includes a second flexible strip, and a first flexible strip is respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the second flexible strip. U-shaped memory metal pillars are fixed at the front and rear ends of the first flexible strip and the second flexible strip. An arc-shaped guide cylinder is sleeved on the first flexible strip, the first flexible strip and the U-shaped memory metal pillar. A limit member is fixed on the arc-shaped guide cylinder. The arc-shaped guide cylinder is fixedly connected to the guard plate.

[0006] Preferably, a first semi-cylinder is provided at the left end of the guard plate and the base plate, and a second semi-cylinder is provided at the right end of the guard plate and the base plate. A clamping ring is provided on the inner side of the second semi-cylinder, and a flange is provided on the outer side of the first semi-cylinder. The two first semi-cylinders are combined to form a cylinder, and a fixing ring is fixed on the cylinder. The cylinder composed of the two second semi-cylinders is used to clamp and fix the cable.

[0007] Preferably, the first flexible strip is fixed on the left side of the inner side of the base plate, the second flexible strip is fixed on the right side of the inner side of the base plate, a connecting plate is fixed on the arc-shaped guide cylinder, and the arc-shaped guide cylinder is fixed to the guard plate through the connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, grooves are formed on the U-shaped memory metal pillars on both sides of the second flexible strip, and grooves are formed on the two U-shaped memory metal pillars opposite to the first flexible strip, and the limiting member engages with the grooves on the U-shaped memory metal pillars.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting member includes an outer frame, with grooves at the upper and lower ends of the outer frame, and two symmetrical sliders sliding inside the outer frame. A spring is fixedly connected between the two sliders, and limiting blocks are fixed to the opposite sides of the two sliders respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the protective plate has multiple through holes, and the base plate has a locking block corresponding to each through hole.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model mainly uses a connection structure for the wire harness bracket. This position can accommodate various sheaths, and ordinary wire harness brackets would pose a certain risk without this structure. This utility model perfectly avoids the problem of hinge movement pulling the controller and protects the wire harness. At the same time, it does not make installing the sheaths extremely cumbersome and difficult.

[0013] 2. Based on ordinary protective plates and rubber sleeves, a connecting structure is added to ensure an effective connection between the wire harness and the controller even as the protective plate moves with the hinge. This solves the problem of the connection position between bracket-type and rubber products and the hinge / controller remaining unchanged. It also allows the wire harness bracket to better adapt to increasingly demanding requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An integrated protective assembly for automotive wiring harnesses, comprising a protective plate 1 and a base plate 2, which are snapped together. A rubber sleeve 3 is attached to the protective plate 1, and a controller 4 is mounted on the rubber sleeve 3. A fixing component 7 is mounted on the base plate 2. Cables pass through the space formed by the protective plate 1 and the base plate 2. When the protective plate 1 and the base plate 2 are joined, the fixing component 7 secures the cables. The cables pass through the inside of the rubber sleeve 3 and connect to the controller 4. This assembly adds a connection structure to the standard protective plate and rubber sleeve 3, ensuring an effective connection between the wiring harness and the controller 4 even as the protective plate moves with the hinge. This solves the problem of inconsistent connection positions between bracket-type and rubber-type products and the hinge / controller 4. It also allows the wiring harness bracket to better adapt to increasingly demanding requirements.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The fixing component 7 includes a second flexible strip 72, with first flexible strips 71 respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the second flexible strip 72. U-shaped memory metal pillars 73 are fixed at the front and rear ends of the first flexible strip 71 and the second flexible strip 72. An arc-shaped guide cylinder 74 is sleeved on the first flexible strip 71, the first flexible strip 71, and the U-shaped memory metal pillars 73. A limiting member 76 is fixed on the arc-shaped guide cylinder 74. The arc-shaped guide cylinder 74 is fixedly connected to the guard plate 1. The first flexible strip 71 is fixed on the left side of the inner side of the base plate 2, and the second flexible strip 72 is fixed on the right side of the inner side of the base plate 2. A connecting plate 75 is fixed on the arc-shaped guide cylinder 74. The arc-shaped guide cylinder 74 is fixed to the guard plate 1 through the connecting plate 75. Grooves are respectively opened on the U-shaped memory metal pillars 73 on both sides of the second flexible strip 72. Grooves are opened on the U-shaped memory metal pillars 73 opposite to the two first flexible strips 71. The limiting member 76 engages with the grooves on the U-shaped memory metal pillars 73. During installation, first fix the base plate 2 to the hinge. After that, lay the cable on the base plate 2, and then snap the guard plate 1 onto the base plate 2. During the snapping process, the arc-shaped guide cylinder 74 needs to align with the first flexible belt 71, the second flexible belt 72, and the U-shaped memory metal column 73. The first flexible belt 71, the second flexible belt 72, and the U-shaped memory metal column 73 enter the inner hole of the arc-shaped guide cylinder 74. Due to the flexibility of the first flexible belt 71, the second flexible belt 72, and the U-shaped memory metal column 73, the first flexible belt 71... The second flexible strip 72 and the U-shaped memory metal post 73 will completely wrap around and fix the cable. After the protective plate 1 is connected to the base plate 2, the limiting member 76 will engage through the groove on the U-shaped memory metal post 73 to fix the first flexible strip 71, the second flexible strip 72 and the U-shaped memory metal post 73, preventing the first flexible strip 71, the second flexible strip 72 and the U-shaped memory metal post 73 from loosening the fixation of the cable, and ensuring the firmness of the first flexible strip 71, the second flexible strip 72 and the U-shaped memory metal post 73 in fixing the cable.

[0023] Please see Figure 4The limiting member 76 includes an outer frame 761, with grooves 762 at both the upper and lower ends of the outer frame 761. Two symmetrical sliders 763 slide inside the outer frame 761, and a spring 764 is fixedly connected between the two sliders 763. Limiting blocks 765 are fixed to the opposite sides of the two sliders 763 respectively. After the groove of the U-shaped memory metal column 73 reaches the limiting member 76, the spring 764 pushes the slider 763 to move. The slider 763 drives the limiting block 765 to engage with the groove on the U-shaped memory metal column 73, so that the first flexible strip 71, the second flexible strip 72 and the U-shaped memory metal column 73 no longer move, thus completing the fixation of the first flexible strip 71, the second flexible strip 72 and the U-shaped memory metal column 73. At the same time, the limiting block 765 is rounded to facilitate the separation of the first flexible strip 71, the second flexible strip 72, the U-shaped memory metal column 73 from the limiting member 76 when disassembling the protective plate 1 and the base plate 2.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The left ends of the protective plate 1 and the base plate 2 are respectively provided with a first semi-cylinder 5, and the right ends of the protective plate 1 and the base plate 2 are respectively provided with a second semi-cylinder 6. The inner side of the second semi-cylinder 6 is provided with a clamping ring 61, and the outer side of the first semi-cylinder 5 is respectively provided with a flange. The two first semi-cylinders 5 are combined to form a cylinder, and a fixing ring 8 is fixed on the cylinder. The cylinder composed of the two second semi-cylinders 6 is used to clamp and fix the cable. By providing a clamping ring 61 inside the second semi-cylinder 6, when the protective plate 1 and the base plate 2 are snapped together, the clamping ring 61 on the two second semi-cylinders 6 will also clamp the cable to prevent the cable from slipping. At the same time, the flange on the outer side of the first semi-cylinder 5 makes it easy for the fixing ring 8 to be sleeved on the first semi-cylinder 5 to prevent the fixing ring 8 from detaching from the first semi-cylinder 5.

[0025] Fix the base plate 2 to the hinge, lay the cable inside the base plate 2, snap the guard plate 1 onto the base plate 2, and use the clamping ring 61 and fixing component 7 to fix the cable to ensure the cable is firmly fixed. Then connect the cable to the controller 4.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
