Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rubber components for vehicle front compartment wiring harnesses, specifically a waterproof and soundproof rubber assembly for wiring harnesses. Background Technology

[0002] Wiring harness rubber parts refer to elastic rubber components used at the through-holes in the body sheet metal during the process of wiring harnesses passing through or being assembled onto sheet metal. These components ensure good waterproofing, wiring harness protection, and a smooth transition. Because car engines generate noise during operation, while a quiet cabin environment is essential for comfort, the wiring harness connecting the engine compartment and the cabin requires openings in the sheet metal. Therefore, the rubber parts used here need to meet multiple requirements: protecting the wiring harness, blocking noise, and providing a seal. In the past, NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) was typically achieved by increasing the thickness of the rubber parts. However, this approach not only results in bulky products and increased costs but also makes assembly difficult and provides less than ideal noise reduction. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a waterproof and soundproof rubber assembly for wire harnesses, thus solving the aforementioned issues.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A waterproof and soundproof rubber assembly for wiring harnesses includes a rubber body 1. The upper end of the rubber body 1 has several fixing holes 12, and metal bushings 2 are respectively installed in each fixing hole 12. By creating the fixing holes 12 and placing the metal bushings 2 in the fixing holes 12, the assembly is fitted into studs welded to the vehicle body and tightened with nuts. The use of metal bushings 2 effectively reduces friction between the studs and the rubber body 1, extending the service life of the rubber body 1. A wiring harness hole post 11 is fixed to the upper end of the rubber body 1, and a metal pad 31 is provided at the upper end of the rubber body 1. The metal pad 31 has connection holes 311. The upper end of the metal pad 31 is provided with a metal pressure plate 3, which is connected to the rubber body 1. The metal pressure plate 3 and the metal pad 31 are made of metal. After the rubber body 1, the metal bushing 2 and the metal pressure plate 3 are assembled on the stud, they are tightened with a nut. The nut applies pressure to the metal pressure plate 3, which in turn applies pressure to the metal pad 31. The metal pad 31 applies pressure evenly to the rubber body 1, making the rubber body 1 fit against the vehicle body. The lower end of the rubber body 1 is provided with a sealing strip, which is integrally formed with the rubber body 1 to enhance the sealing between the rubber body 1 and the vehicle body.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper end of the fixing hole 12 is provided with a countersunk hole 13 concentrically, and the upper end of the metal bushing 2 is provided with an outwardly bent flange. The flange of the metal bushing 2 corresponds one-to-one with the countersunk hole 13. By setting the countersunk hole 13 on the fixing hole 12 and setting the flange on the metal bushing 2, the upper end of the metal bushing 2 is flush with the upper end surface of the rubber body 1, so as to prevent excessive local pressure after the metal pad 31 is pressed down, which would cause the rubber body 1 to break.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The wire harness hole post 11 is symmetrically provided with a locking interface 113. The lower end of the wire harness hole post 11 is fixed with a boss 111. The boss 111 is fixedly connected to the rubber body 1. The upper end of the rubber body 1 is provided with an annular sealing strip 15. The lower edge of the boss 111 is provided with an annular sealing platform 16. The boss 111 is provided with an indicator mark 112. By setting the sealing strip 15 on the rubber body 1, after the metal pad 31 contacts the sealing strip 15 and the sealing platform 16, a cavity is formed between the metal pad 31 and the rubber body 1, which improves the noise blocking effect and effectively isolates sewage and silt. By setting the indicator mark 112, the user is reminded of the installation method to prevent reverse installation.

[0025] Please see Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The lower end of the metal pad 31 is provided with a downward folded edge. The folded edge of the metal pad 31 surrounds the edge of the rubber body 1. After the metal pad 31 is pressed down, the rubber body 1 deforms. The edge of the metal pad 31 blocks the deformation of the rubber body 1, thereby making the rubber body 1 and the edge of the metal pad 31 fit tightly together, further increasing the sealing between the rubber body 1 and the metal pad 31. The connecting hole 311 corresponds to the sealing platform 16. The lower end of the rubber body 1 is provided with a wire harness through hole 14. The lower end of the wire harness through hole 14 is rounded. The rubber body 1, wire harness hole post 11, sealing strip 15, sealing platform 16 and boss 111 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the rubber body 1, wire harness hole post 11, sealing strip 15, sealing platform 16 and boss 111, the firmness of the connection between them is ensured, and the sealing of the connection is guaranteed to prevent water leakage. The lower end of the metal pressure plate 3 is provided with a downward protruding edge.

[0026] The rubber body 1, metal bushing 2, and metal pressure plate 3 are combined. After the metal bushing 2 is installed into the fixing hole 12 on the rubber body 1, the metal pressure plate 3 is then installed onto the rubber body 1, pressing down on the metal bushing 2 to prevent it from detaching from the fixing hole 12. One end of the rubber body 1 is adapted to the wire harness structure and is compatible with the wire harness. The other end is designed with an opening to facilitate mold release. After the rubber body 1 is formed, before assembly, the end with the compatible wire diameter needs to be reversed and passed through the other end to achieve a cavity structure that blocks noise. After the rubber body 1, metal bushing 2, and metal pressure plate 3 are assembled, they can be installed into the welding studs on the vehicle body and tightened with nuts.

[0027] 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.
