Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts, and in particular to a steering mechanism with an MGU parking actuator interface. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive parts industry, parking actuators are key components for realizing the vehicle parking function, and their performance and compatibility are crucial to the operation of the entire vehicle. Currently, the common parking actuator (MGU) interface orientations on the market are mainly divided into three types: straight, downward-facing, and upward-facing.
[0003] Due to significant differences in the layout of peripheral components across different customer vehicle models, there are diverse requirements for the orientation of the parking actuator interface. For example, some vehicle models have a compact engine compartment layout and complex routing of peripheral pipes, wiring harnesses, and other components, requiring a specific orientation for the interface to achieve effective connection and reasonable layout with surrounding components, thereby ensuring that the parking actuator functions properly and does not interfere with other components.
[0004] To fully meet the demands of the market and the personalized needs of different customers, the common practice in the industry is for manufacturers to develop corresponding parking actuators (MGUs) for three different interface orientations. However, this approach has revealed a pressing problem in practice: at least three different housing molds need to be developed for each of the three different interface orientations of the parking actuator (MGU). Mold development not only involves complex design, manufacturing, and debugging processes, resulting in a lengthy development cycle, but also requires a huge capital investment, significantly increasing the product development cost. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the aforementioned problems existing in the MGU, the aim is to provide a steering mechanism for the MGU parking actuator interface.
[0006] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0007] A MGU parking actuator interface steering mechanism includes: an adapter body having an input end and an output end, the input end being connected to the MGU interface, the output end being connected to the vehicle wiring harness, and the input end and the output end being oriented in the same direction or perpendicular to each other.
[0008] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the receiving end is plugged into the interface.
[0009] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the receiving end has an access port, and the interface is plugged into the access port.
[0010] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, a snap-fit structure is provided between the access port and the interface.
[0011] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the buckle structure includes a buckle block disposed on the interface and a buckle slot disposed in the access socket.
[0012] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the inner wall of the access socket has a guide groove, and the outer wall of the interface has a guide block, the guide block and the guide groove are slidably engaged.
[0013] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the outgoing end has an outgoing outlet.
[0014] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the outer wall of the rotating end has a snap-fit block.
[0015] As a further improvement and optimization of this solution, the outer wall of the rotating end has a guide slider.
[0016] The positive effects of the above technical solution compared with the existing technology are:
[0017] This invention achieves the MUG interface's turning effect in both horizontal and vertical directions by setting an adapter body and utilizing the orientation of the input and output ends. During the development stage, only one set of straight-mouth MGU shell mold and two adapter body molds are needed to meet market demands. Compared to using three sets of different types of MGU shell molds, this invention offers greater development convenience and reduces development costs. Attached Figure Description

[0025] First embodiment:
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a parking actuator interface steering mechanism for an MGU includes: an adapter body 1, which has an input end 11 and an output end 12. The input end 11 is connected to the interface of the MGU, and the output end 12 is connected to the vehicle wiring harness. The input end 11 and the output end 12 are oriented in the same direction. In this embodiment, the interface of the MGU can be reversed in the horizontal direction through the adapter body 1.
[0027] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the receiving end 11 is plugged into the interface to facilitate the connection between the adapter 1 and the interface.
[0028] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the receiving end 11 has an access port 111, and the interface is plugged into the access port 111.
[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the connection stability between the access socket 111 and the interface, a snap-fit structure is provided between the access socket 111 and the interface.
[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit structure includes a snap block disposed on the interface and a snap slot 113 disposed in the access socket 111. In another embodiment, the snap-fit structure may also be a snap slot 113 disposed on the interface and a snap block disposed in the insertion interface.
[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the access port 111 has a guide groove 112, and the outer wall of the interface has a guide block. The guide block and the guide groove 112 are slidably engaged. Through the engagement of the guide block and the guide groove 112, the precise engagement of the card block and the card slot 113 can be achieved.
[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the output end 12 has an output outlet 121.

In this embodiment, the interface of the MGU can be reversed in the vertical direction through the adapter body 1.
[0037] Specifically, the conversion principle of adapter 1 is a mature existing technology, and its specific principle will not be elaborated in detail in this article.
[0038] In this application, by setting up an adapter 1 and using the orientation of the input end 11 and the output end 12, the MUG interface can be turned in both horizontal and vertical directions. During the development stage, only one set of straight-mouth MGU shell mold and two adapter 1 molds are needed to meet market demand.
