Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of integrated wiring harness technology, and in particular relates to a flat integrated control wiring harness for kitchen appliances. Background Technology

[0002] Flat integrated control harness for kitchen appliances refers to a special wire harness used inside kitchen appliances. It adopts a flat cabling structure and is used to centrally connect and control various functional modules. It has the advantages of high space utilization and neat and beautiful wiring.

[0003] Currently, the flatness results in a thin overall structure, making it prone to cracking when bent, and requiring the entire wire to be replaced during repairs, rather than repairing a single wire individually.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a flat, integrated control harness for kitchen appliances. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flat integrated control harness for kitchen appliances, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a flat integrated control harness for kitchen appliances, including a lower housing, an upper housing, and a wire, wherein the lower housing and the upper housing extend axially along the axis of the wire.

[0008] The lower housing has an internal cavity for receiving wires, which are passed through the cavity. The upper end of the cavity is an open slot.

[0009] The upper housing is located above the lower housing, and its lower sides are elastically engaged with the upper sides of the lower housing.

[0010] The lower part of the upper housing has an integral protrusion, and the interior of the protrusion is provided with reinforcing ribs that extend axially along the direction of the conductor axis.

[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the lower housing is provided with a V-shaped groove, which is in the same direction as the conductor axis, and the top of the V-shaped groove is an opening, corresponding to the protrusion.

[0012] Preferably, the sidewall of the V-shaped groove has an integral buffer strip, which is an elastic buffer structure that abuts against the lower surface of the protrusion.

[0013] Preferably, the lower housing body between the V-shaped groove and the opening groove has a movable paddle.

[0014] Preferably, the upper ends of both sides of the lower housing are provided with slots that are in the same direction as the conductor axis, forming a circular groove structure with an upper opening.

[0015] Preferably, the lower ends of both sides of the upper housing have integral retaining strips that engage with the retaining grooves.

[0016] Preferably, the lower end of the card strip is a circular elastic strip used to fill the circular space of the card slot.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The elastic snap-fit ​​between the lower and upper housings forms an openable housing mechanism, which protects the upper housing and creates a separation, enabling individual repair or replacement of damaged wires. This ensures the neatness and aesthetics of the integrated wiring harness installation and facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the lines.

[0019] 2. By integrating the conductors inside the openable housing, the reinforcing ribs can limit the overall bending range during wiring, thereby preventing bending and breakage due to overall weakness and improving the safety performance of thin, flat wire harnesses.

[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0030] A flat integrated control harness for kitchen appliances is provided to integrate multiple wires 13 into a flat harness. The lower housing 11 and the upper housing 12 form an openable housing structure to replace the traditional flat sheath, thereby storing the wires 13 at intervals to form an integrated harness in which the wires can be individually detached, so as to achieve the effect of individual maintenance and replacement of the wires 13 in the integrated harness.

[0031] In some embodiments, the specific structure of the flattened integrated control harness for kitchen appliances is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Figure 3, it includes an openable housing mechanism and a wire 13. The openable housing mechanism is made entirely of thermoplastic elastomer or polyurethane elastomer.

[0032] The openable shell mechanism has a lower shell 11 and an upper shell 12, which together form a closed structure with semicircles on both sides and a flat middle.

[0033] The lower housing 11 has a receiving cavity 1101, which corresponds to the wire 13;

[0034] Furthermore, an opening groove 112 is provided through the upper end of the receiving cavity 1101 to serve as a threading channel for the wire 13 during assembly;

[0035] In addition, the lower housing 11 body above the adjacent receiving cavity 1101 has an upper opening V-shaped groove 111 that runs through the front and back direction. The body between the V-shaped groove 111 and the opening groove 112, and the body between the two sides of the lower housing 11 and the opening groove 112 form a paddle 1102, which can be paddled outward to enlarge the opening groove 112.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, there is an integral protrusion 122 on the lower part of the upper housing 12, located inside the upper end of the V-shaped groove 111;

[0037] Among them, the V-groove 111 has an integral buffer strip 1111 in the middle of its side, which abuts against the lower surface of the protrusion 122 to form a buffer when the integrated wire harness is under force.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing rib 121 is provided at the center position from the lower surface of the protrusion 122 to the upper surface of the upper housing 12 to limit the maximum bending range of the integrated wire harness and avoid breakage caused by excessive bending.

[0039] Among them, the reinforcing rib 121 is made of stainless steel wire or nylon thread.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper ends of the semi-circular bodies on both sides of the lower housing 11 are provided with slots 113 that extend through in the front-to-back direction;

[0041] Among them, there is an integral retaining strip 123 at both ends of the upper housing 12, and the lower end of the retaining strip 123 is a circular elastic strip 1231;

[0042] It is understandable that the engagement between the elastic strip 1231 and the slot 113 can fix the upper housing 12 above the lower housing 11.

[0043] Some publicly available information describes the specific usage methods for flat integrated control harnesses in kitchen appliances as follows:

[0044] S1. In the extrusion stage, an extruder produces an independent lower shell 11 and an upper shell 12 that cooperate with each other. The lower shell 11 has a slot 113, a V-groove 111, and a buffer strip 1111. The upper shell 12 has a protrusion 122.

[0045] S21. In the shaping stage, after the lower shell 11 is extruded, the grooving equipment cuts down during the traction process of the lower shell 11 to form a continuous receiving cavity 1101 and a paddle 1102.

[0046] S22. After the upper shell 12 is extruded, the grooving equipment cuts down during the traction of the upper shell 12 to form a groove with the same structure as the receiving cavity 1101 and the paddle 1102. After the reinforcing rib 121 is inserted into the groove, the opening of the groove is closed by the elasticity of the upper shell 12 body structure, or the body on both sides of the groove opening is fused together by hot melting.

[0047] S3. During the threading stage, one end of the wire 13 is pressed by the fixing plate, so that it passes through the opening groove 112 and enters the interior of the receiving cavity 1101. When the subsequent body of the wire 13 passes through the pressing area, it automatically enters the interior of the receiving cavity 1101. Similarly, the reinforcing rib 121 is threaded into the groove of the upper housing 12.

[0048] S4. During the sealing stage, the upper housing 12 is placed above the lower housing 11, so that the elastic strip 1231 is engaged in the inside of the slot 113, thereby fixing the lower housing 11 and the upper housing 12 into one piece.

[0049] S5. During the maintenance phase, the upper housing 12 is disassembled. By pushing the lever 1102 outward, the wire 13 inside the receiving cavity 1101 is exposed. The wire 13 is pulled outward in this area. The wire 13 is pulled outward and the body near the main body is pulled outward. At this time, it can be repaired or replaced separately.

[0050] In addition, the lower housing 11 and the upper housing 12 can be directly formed by an integrated molding die while the lower housing 11 and the upper housing 12 are being extruded using a customized mold, so that the lower housing 11 has a slot 113, a V-shaped groove 111 and a buffer strip 1111, and the upper housing 12 has a protrusion 122.
