Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness application technology, and in particular to an injection molded wire harness and its connector injection mold. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, wiring harnesses are a crucial component connecting various electronic parts, and their performance directly affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Traditional automotive wiring harnesses often use bundling and protective sheathing. However, this structure is prone to loosening during vehicle operation, leading to poor wire contact. Furthermore, it offers poor waterproofing and dustproofing, making it susceptible to damage from external environmental factors and shortening the lifespan of the wiring harness.

[0003] Currently, injection-molded wire harnesses fix the wires together through injection molding, which solves some of the problems of traditional wire harnesses to a certain extent. However, existing injection-molded wire harnesses still have shortcomings in structural design. For example, after the wire harness is plugged in and fixed, it generally needs to be bent, which can cause bending damage at the joint and affect the service life of the wire harness. At the same time, the mold structure designed for injection molding is relatively complex, which increases the overall processing cost. Furthermore, the wire harness cannot be molded quickly during injection molding, thus reducing injection molding efficiency. Therefore, this utility model proposes an injection-molded wire harness and its joint injection mold. Utility Model Content

[0015] The above technical solution facilitates the rapid injection of fluid into the interior of cavities A and B using injection holes, while positioning pins are used to position and fix the inserted wire harness conductive connectors, ensuring the quality after injection molding.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: one side of each of the two positioning columns is fixedly connected with a locking block, and the two locking blocks are respectively positioned and inserted into the corresponding slots opened in the lower mold.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, an injection-molded wire harness includes a wire harness body 1. One end of the wire harness body 1 is fixedly connected to an injection-molded connector 2 to insulate and protect the conductive connector of the wire harness and achieve stable insertion. The injection-molded connector 2 includes a transition portion 21, which is generally trapezoidal in shape. Anti-slip strips 23 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the transition portion 21. Multiple anti-slip strips 23 are arranged in a series of equal-distance increments to facilitate quick insertion and fixation of the entire injection-molded connector 2 by the workers using the anti-slip strips 23, thus improving the convenience of installation. The injection-molded connector 2 also includes a plug-in portion 22 fixedly connected to the end face of the transition portion 21. The plug-in portion 22 is an integral part of the conductive connector and the injection-molded shell. Protrusions 24 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the two arc surfaces of the plug-in portion 22 to facilitate injection molding protection of the internal conductive connector. At the same time, the protrusions 24 facilitate pushing or pulling out as needed during installation. The other end of the wire harness body 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed end 3 to cooperate with the injection-molded connector 2 to enhance the strength of the wire harness body 1. The fixed end 3 includes a damage-resistant step 31 installed on the end face of the wire harness body 1. A reinforcing plate 32 is fixedly connected to the end face of the damage-resistant step 31. The practical damage-resistant step 31 and the reinforcing plate 32 can improve the overall structural stability, durability and reliability of the wire harness.

[0023] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, an injection mold for a connector of an injection-molded wire harness includes a mold body 4. The mold body 4 includes an upper mold 41 and a lower mold 42 that are adapted to each other. The upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 are provided with cavities A411 and B421 that are adapted to fit the injection connector 2, for injection molding of the inserted injection connector 2. An injection hole 412 is provided at the center of the cavity A411 to facilitate the injection fluid from the outside to enter the internal molding space through the injection hole 412.

[0024] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, two symmetrically arranged positioning posts 414 are fixedly connected to the end face of cavity A411. Each of the two positioning posts 414 has a locking block 413 fixedly connected to one side. The two locking blocks 413 are respectively positioned and inserted into the corresponding slots 422 of the lower mold 42. This facilitates quick positioning and mold closing when the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 are closed, thereby improving the injection molding efficiency of the wire harness connector. The two positioning posts 414 are respectively inserted into the conductive connector of the injection connector 2, which facilitates the rapid injection of fluid into the cavity A411 and cavity B421 through the injection hole 412. At the same time, the positioning posts 414 are used to position and fix the inserted wire harness conductive connector to ensure the quality after injection molding.

[0025] like Figures 4-7 As shown, cooling grooves A415 and B423 are respectively provided inside the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42, and are located around the cavities A411 and B421. Connection ports A416 and B424 are respectively provided on the end faces of the cooling grooves A415 and B423. Sealing caps A417 and B425 are respectively sealed inside the cooling grooves A411 and B423. The wire harness connectors can be molded using the cavities A411 and B421, and the cooling grooves A415 and B423 can accelerate the molding efficiency of the internal fluid, thereby improving the overall injection molding efficiency.

[0026] In use, the wire harness connector is first placed into the cavity A411, and its conductive connector is fixed by inserting it into the positioning post 414. The upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 are then locked together by the corresponding locking block 413 and the locking groove 422. Finally, fluid is injected through the injection hole 412, and the connector is quickly formed under the action of the cooling groove A415 and the cooling groove B423 inside the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42, thus completing the injection molding process of the wire harness connector. The processed injection molded connector 2 can improve the stability of the connector during insertion and the protection effect in the later stage.
