Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-tangle technology for wire harnesses, specifically an anti-tangle device for steering wheel wire harnesses. Background Technology

[0002] The steering wheel wiring harness is an indispensable part of modern automobiles, responsible for connecting the steering wheel and the vehicle's electronic systems, and transmitting various electrical signals and energy. With the increasing level of vehicle electrification, the number of wiring harnesses on the steering wheel has gradually increased, including electrical lines used to control steering wheel adjustment, airbag systems, in-vehicle entertainment systems, and driver assistance systems. Although these wiring harnesses are crucial for ensuring the normal operation of vehicle functions, they are susceptible to external forces during vehicle operation, especially when the driver frequently turns the steering wheel, leading to issues such as crossing and tangling.

[0003] Traditional wiring harness arrangements typically bundle multiple cables together and secure them with straps or guide channels. While this method can reduce wiring harness tangling to some extent, the wiring harness arrangement can still deform or become entangled during steering wheel rotation, especially with large turns or vigorous driver input. This can not only cause the wiring harness to become stuck, leading to inconvenience, but also affect the normal transmission of electrical signals, and even cause circuit damage, short circuits, or other electrical faults, ultimately impacting vehicle safety and driving experience.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a steering wheel wiring harness anti-tangling device. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A technical solution for an anti-tangling device for steering wheel wiring harness includes a disc, a separator strip, an arc-shaped baffle, an arc-shaped spring, a cable separation area, a pressure plate, and a spring;

[0008] The disc is fixed to the steering column of the steering wheel, and multiple radial dividing strips are arranged around its surface. A cable separation area is formed between adjacent dividing strips, and the cable separation area is used to install cables.

[0009] The arc-shaped baffle is vertically fixed to the end edge of the separator, and its height is the same as that of the separator.

[0010] The arc-shaped spring is embedded in the arc-shaped retaining strip to form an elastic support;

[0011] The pressure plate is located in the cable separation area, and the two ends of the spring abut against the pressure plate and the disc respectively. The pressure plate is used to press down on the cable.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the number of dividing strips is 8-12, and they are evenly distributed along the circumference of the disk.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the arc of the arc-shaped spring is concentric with that of the disk.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the spring is a plurality of compression springs, evenly distributed along the circumference of the disk.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the arc-shaped spring is used to unidirectionally engage the cable from the outside to the inside, limiting the cable after engagement.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the arc-shaped baffle and the separator are made of elastic material.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model relates to an anti-tangling device for steering wheel wiring harnesses. The device comprises a disc, a separator, an arc-shaped stop bar, an arc-shaped spring, cable separation areas, a pressure plate, and a spring, which work together to effectively fix and prevent tangling of the steering wheel wiring harness. The separator divides the disc surface into multiple cable separation areas, each for a specific cable, preventing cables from crossing or tangling. The arc-shaped stop bar further restricts the cable's range of motion, preventing displacement during steering wheel rotation. The arc-shaped spring, embedded within the arc-shaped stop bar, provides elastic support for the cable, making installation and removal easier and accommodating cables of different diameters. The pressure plate and spring work together to provide stable pressure on the cable, ensuring it does not loosen or fall off due to vibration during driving. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for an anti-tangling device for steering wheel wiring harnesses: it includes a disc 1, which is fixed to the steering column of the steering wheel. Eight to twelve radial dividing strips 2 are evenly distributed around the surface of the disc 1, forming cable separation areas 5 between adjacent dividing strips 2. The cable separation areas 5 are used to install cables, ensuring that the cables do not cross or tangle when the steering wheel is rotated.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, each separator strip 2 has an arc-shaped stop strip 3 fixed vertically at its end edge, and the height of the arc-shaped stop strip 3 is the same as that of the separator strip 2. The function of the arc-shaped stop strip 3 is to limit the range of motion of the cable during steering wheel rotation and prevent the cable from shifting.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the arc-shaped spring piece 4 is embedded in the arc-shaped stop bar 3 to form an elastic support. The arc of the arc-shaped spring piece 4 is concentric with the disc 1, and is used to unidirectionally insert the cable from the outside to the inside, limiting the cable after insertion, ensuring that the cable is more convenient to install and remove, and can adapt to cables of different diameters.

[0027] A pressure plate 6 is located in the cable separation area 5, and two ends of a spring 7 abut against the pressure plate 6 and the disc 1, respectively. The spring 7 can be multiple compression springs, evenly distributed around the circumference of the disc 1. The combined use of the pressure plate 6 and the spring 7 can provide stable pressure on the cable, ensuring that the cable will not loosen or fall off due to vibration during operation.

[0028] In practical applications, the installation process of the steering wheel wiring harness anti-tangling device is as follows: The disc 1 is coaxially fixed to the steering column. The cables are arranged in the predetermined order and position within each cable separation zone 5. The arc-shaped retaining strip 3 is vertically fixed to the end edge of the separating strip 2. The arc-shaped spring piece 4 is embedded into the arc-shaped retaining strip 3 to ensure it provides elastic support. The pressure plate 6 is placed above all cable separation zones 5 and connected to the disc 1 via a spring 7 to ensure the cables are stably pressed down.

[0029] Through the above embodiments, the steering wheel wiring harness anti-tangling device of this utility model can effectively fix the cable and prevent the cable from crossing or tangling during the steering wheel rotation, thereby avoiding cable jamming, obstruction of electrical signal transmission, line damage, short circuit or other electrical faults, and improving vehicle safety and driving experience.
