[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0029] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0030] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0032] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0034] This application provides a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. For a vehicle, the wiring harness is used for power transmission, signal transmission, and the coordination between various systems to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. To ensure the safe operation of the wiring harness, it is necessary to provide support and positioning to avoid interference between multiple wiring harnesses, ensuring the wiring harness remains stable during vehicle operation and preventing displacement due to vibration, which could lead to wiring harness failure.

[0035] In an environment where vehicle options are becoming increasingly personalized, the space available for vehicle parts and other controllers is becoming increasingly limited, making wiring harness layout more difficult and prone to interference with related parts. For example, wiring harnesses used to connect to and control the doors need to pass through the B-pillar to connect to the doors, but due to the limited space on the B-pillar, straight wiring is not possible.

[0036] Therefore, based on this, the present application provides a wire harness fixing bracket 20, which includes a support plate 2 and a mounting plate 3. The support plate 2 is used to support the wire harness 4. The support plate 2 includes a first support plate 21 and a second support plate 22 connected to each other. Both the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are used to support the wire harness 4. The wire harness 4 is located on one side of the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22.

[0037] The first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are arranged at an angle. For example, the angle between the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 can be a right angle or an acute angle, and the transition between the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 is an arc, which can avoid stress concentration. The first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 are arranged at an angle, and a bend is formed on the support plate 2, which can guide the wire harness 4 to bend. Where straight wiring is not possible, the support plate 2 can guide the wire harness 4 to bend, thereby changing the direction of the wire harness 4, so that the wire harness 4 can be arranged in a narrow space.

[0038] The first support plate 21 may have an arc-shaped groove formed in the middle that mates with the outer peripheral wall of the wire harness 4, and the arc-shaped groove can restrict the position of the wire harness 4. After the wire harness 4 is placed on the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22, cable ties can be used to bind the wire harness 4 to the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22.

[0039] For example, the included angle between the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 is a right angle, and correspondingly, the wire harness fixing bracket 20 guides the wire harness 4 to bend out at 90°.

[0040] The wiring harness fixing bracket 20 is connected to the vehicle body via a mounting plate 3. The mounting plate 3 is connected to one side of the second support plate 22 in the width direction. For example, the mounting plate 3 is a flat plate with a length direction and a width direction. The dimension of the mounting plate 3 in the length direction is larger than the dimension of the mounting plate 3 in the width direction. Furthermore, the mounting plate 3 extends along the width direction of the second support plate 22. In other words, the plane containing the mounting plate 3 and the plane containing the second support plate 22 can be parallel or coplanar.

[0041] For example, mounting plate 3 can be detachably fixed to the vehicle body by snap-fit.

[0042] The mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 are set at an angle, which allows the fixing point of the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 to be set at an angle to the outgoing direction of the wiring harness 4, thus avoiding overlap of the wiring harness 4 with the interior trim. For example, when the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 is fixed to the B-pillar assembly 10, setting the fixing point of the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 at an angle to the outgoing direction of the wiring harness 4 can ensure the gap between the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 and the seat belt.

[0043] In a specific example, the mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 can both be connected to the same end of the first support plate 21, and the mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 can both be set perpendicular to the first support plate 21, with the mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 set at an angle to each other.

[0044] The wire harness fixing bracket 20 provided in this application embodiment includes a support plate 2 and a mounting plate 3. The support plate 2 includes a first support plate 21 and a second support plate 22 arranged at an angle. The mounting plate 3 is connected to one side of the second support plate 22 in the width direction and extends along the width direction of the second support plate 22. The mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 are arranged at an angle. The support plate 2 can guide the wire harness 4 to bend, thereby changing the direction of the wire harness 4, so that the wire harness 4 can be arranged in a narrow space. The fixing point of the wire harness fixing bracket 20 is arranged at an angle with the wire harness 4's outgoing direction, which can facilitate the installation of the wire harness fixing bracket 20 and avoid interference with other components.

[0045] Reference Figures 2-3 In one possible implementation of this application, the included angle between the mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 is D and satisfies 0°<D≤45°. The angle between the fixing point of the wire harness fixing bracket 20 and the wire outlet direction of the wire harness 4 is set to between 0° and 45° to avoid the angle between the fixing point of the wire harness fixing bracket 20 and the wire outlet direction of the wire harness 4 being too large, which facilitates the arrangement of the wire harness fixing bracket 20.

[0046] For example, the included angle between the mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 can be 15°, 30°, 35°, or 45°, preferably 30°. When the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 is fixed on the B-pillar assembly 10, the included angle between the mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 is 30°, which can better avoid the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 from overlapping with the interior trim, and also better ensure the gap between the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 and the seat belt.

[0047] Reference Figures 2-3 In one possible implementation of this application, the wire harness fixing bracket 20 is a one-piece molded part, and there are no connection points or weak points between the first support plate 21, the second support plate 22 and the mounting plate 3, which can increase the structural strength of the wire harness fixing bracket 20.

[0048] Specifically, the wire harness fixing bracket 20 is a one-piece molded plastic part, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the wire harness fixing bracket 20.

[0049] Reference Figures 1-4 In one possible implementation of this application, the mounting plate 3 is further provided with a mounting buckle 32, which includes a first spring 321 and a second spring 322. The first spring 321 and the second spring 322 are both connected to the same side of the mounting plate 3 and are spaced apart. The first spring 321 and the second spring 322 are respectively arranged in directions away from each other.

[0050] The vehicle body has mounting holes opposite to the mounting clip 32. The mounting clip 32 is installed into the mounting hole. After the first spring piece 321 and the second spring piece 322 are installed into the mounting hole, the first spring piece 321 and the second spring piece 322 abut against the side wall of the mounting hole, which can prevent the mounting clip 32 from falling out of the mounting hole, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the wire harness fixing bracket 20.

[0051] For example, the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 is fixed to the inner panel 11 of the B-pillar, and the inner panel 11 of the B-pillar has mounting holes.

[0052] Reference Figures 2-3 In one possible implementation of this application, the mounting plate 3 further has a clearance hole 31 opposite to the first spring 321. The clearance hole 31 is adapted to allow the installation tool to pass. The second spring 322 can be installed at the end of the mounting plate 3 away from the second support plate 22. The first spring 321 and the second spring 322 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting plate 3. The installation tool can clamp the first spring 321 and the second spring 322 through the clearance hole 31 and one side of the length of the mounting plate 3, so that the first spring 321 and the second spring 322 move toward each other, so that the first spring 321 and the second spring 322 can be inserted into the mounting hole of the vehicle body. Then the installation tool is pulled out so that the first spring 321 and the second spring 322 are reset and abut against the side wall of the mounting hole, preventing the mounting clip 32 from falling off the vehicle body.

[0053] For example, the installation tool can be a clip.

[0054] Reference Figures 2-4 In one possible implementation of this application, the mounting buckle 32 further includes a fixing block 323, which is connected to the mounting plate 3. The first spring 321 and the second spring 322 are located on opposite sides of the fixing block 323. The first spring 321, the fixing block 323 and the second spring 322 are connected sequentially along the length of the mounting plate 3.

[0055] The fixing block 323 is also connected to a third spring and a fourth spring. The third spring and the fourth spring are alternately arranged with the first spring 321 and the second spring 322 in the circumferential direction of the fixing block 323. The free ends of the third spring and the fourth spring are respectively set in directions away from each other. The alternating arrangement of the first spring 321, the second spring 322 and the third spring and the fourth spring can increase the connection strength between the mounting buckle 32 and the vehicle body.

[0056] In a specific example, both the third and fourth springs are connected to the end of the fixing block 323 away from the mounting plate 3, and the other ends are both free ends. The free ends of the third and fourth springs extend towards the mounting plate 3, and are positioned in directions away from each other. The mounting clip 32 is installed into the mounting hole, and the first spring 321 and the second spring 322 are clamped using an installation tool. The sides of the third and fourth springs abut against the sidewall of the mounting hole, guiding the mounting clip 32 into the mounting hole. Afterward, the installation tool is removed, and the first and second springs 321 and 322 abut against the sidewall of the mounting hole, with the free ends of the third and fourth springs also abutting against the sidewall of the mounting hole. Under external force, the mounting clip 32 is not easily dislodged from the mounting hole.

[0057] Secondly, this application provides a B-pillar assembly 10, including a wiring harness fixing bracket 20.

[0058] The B-pillar assembly 10 provided in this application embodiment includes the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 provided in any of the above-mentioned embodiments. Therefore, it has the same technical effect, that is, the support plate 2 can guide the wiring harness 4 to bend, so as to change the direction of the wiring harness 4, so that the wiring harness 4 can be arranged in a narrow space. The mounting plate 3 and the second support plate 22 are set at an angle, which can facilitate the installation of the wiring harness fixing bracket 20 and avoid interference with other components.

[0059] Reference Figures 1-2 In one possible implementation of this application, the B-pillar assembly 10 includes a B-pillar inner panel 11, a second support plate 22 and a mounting plate 3 located on the same side of the B-pillar inner panel 11, and the fixing point of the wire harness fixing bracket 20 and the wire harness 4 outlet direction are located on the same side of the B-pillar inner panel 11, which can ensure the gap between the wire harness fixing bracket 20 and the seat belt.

[0060] Reference Figures 1-2 In one possible implementation of this application, the inner panel 11 of the B-pillar is provided with a through hole 12, the first support plate 21 extends into the through hole 12, the wire harness 4 extends out from the through hole 12, the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 support the wire harness 4 and guide the bending direction of the wire harness 4.

[0061] For example, the first support plate 21 has a flange 211 on the side near the through hole 12 to increase the structural strength of the first support plate 21 and also to prevent the end of the first support plate 21 from scratching the wire harness 4.

[0062] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle, including: a B-pillar assembly 10.

[0063] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes the B-pillar assembly 10 provided in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and therefore has the same technical effect, namely, the support plate 2 can guide the wiring harness 4 to bend, so as to change the direction of the wiring harness 4, so that the wiring harness 4 can be arranged in a narrow space.
