Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to automotive window regulator components, and more particularly to a window regulator winding reel. Background Technology
[0002] As a door accessory, the main function of a window regulator is to smoothly raise and lower the car window. Currently, most car manufacturers use the stable and conveniently designed cable-driven window regulator. This type of regulator mainly consists of guide rails, brackets, a cable reel, a reel seat, and steel cables. The cable reel, which winds and releases the steel cables and transmits motor torque to them, is an indispensable and crucial component of the cable-driven window regulator.
[0003] The currently used wire reels, as shown in diagrams 5, 6, 7, and 8, have a flat wire rope connector mounting groove 2 on the back and a round wire rope connector mounting groove 4 on the front. During wire winding assembly, the flat wire rope connector needs to be installed on the back and the round wire rope connector on the front. In the final step of winding, a special device is used to insert the round wire rope connector into the round connector mounting groove of the wire reel. However, this insertion process can easily damage the surface of the wire reel, causing surface breakage. This is because the tooling block used for inserting the connector experiences wear and deformation, which increases the difficulty of connector assembly during production, potentially leading to connector detachment or even product disintegration and functional failure. Furthermore, because inserting the round connector can damage the surface of the wire reel, causing it to protrude above the reel surface, it can wear down the motor, potentially causing motor damage and abnormal noise, thus affecting product quality and user experience.
[0004] Also, at point a on the back of the reel where the wire rope exits, the wire rope exits at a right angle, which can easily cause tangled wires. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This utility model provides a windshield reel for a glass lifter to solve the problems of uneven force on the reel surface caused by the round connector being inserted, resulting in the connector coming off or breaking and the lifter failing; it also solves the problem of tangled wires caused by the flat connector being inserted into the reel; and it solves the problem of the connector protruding above the reel causing wear on the motor, resulting in abnormal noise due to motor damage or lifter malfunction due to motor damage.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model includes a main body, a back steel wire rope flat connector mounting groove, a fixing angle, a front steel wire rope flat connector mounting groove, and a reserved groove. The back of the main body has a back steel wire rope flat connector mounting groove, the main body at the wire rope outlet on the back has a fixing angle, the main body has a front steel wire rope flat connector mounting groove, and the front of the main body opposite it has a reserved groove.
[0007] The body has a winding wheel groove.
[0008] The fixed clamp angle is used to make the assembled wire rope exit at a turning angle, thus restricting the axial freedom of the wire rope.
[0009] The reserved groove is used to place the wire rope before winding, and then the wire rope is fed into the groove of the winding wheel by reversing the winding wheel.
[0010] The advantages of this utility model are its novel structure. By changing the front round connector mounting slot to a flat connector mounting slot, it solves the problems of damage to the surface of the winding reel, uneven force on the connector, and connector detachment or breakage when the round connector is inserted, thus improving the quality of the glass lifter product. It also solves the problems of abnormal noise caused by motor damage or motor failure due to damage to the winding reel surface or the round connector protruding above the winding reel. The fixed corner on the back solves the problem of tangled wire when the flat connector is inserted into the winding reel, improving the production efficiency of the glass lifter product, saving production costs, and achieving the design goal of lean production. By changing the round connector mounting slot to a flat connector mounting slot, the wire rope connector is changed from a round connector to a flat connector, reducing the amount of zinc alloy material used in the connector, thus making the winding reel smaller than the old winding reel, saving costs, and improving the competitiveness of the glass lifter product.

[0018] Figure 8 yes Figure 7 Enlarged view of part B. Detailed Implementation
[0019] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, the device includes a main body 1, a back steel wire rope flat connector mounting groove 2, a fixing angle 3, a front steel wire rope flat connector mounting groove 4, and a reserved groove 5. The back steel wire rope flat connector mounting groove 2 is located on the back of the main body 1, the fixing angle 3 is located on the main body 1 at the wire rope outlet on the back, the front steel wire rope flat connector mounting groove 4 is located on the front of the main body 1, and the reserved groove 5 is located on the front of the main body 1 opposite to it.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the body 1 has a winding wheel groove 6.
[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the fixed clamp angle 3 is used to make the assembled wire rope exit at a turning angle, thus restricting the axial degree of freedom of the wire rope.
[0022] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the reserved groove 5 is used to place the wire rope before winding, and then the wire rope is fed into the groove of the winding wheel by reversing the winding wheel.
[0023] Working principle:
[0024] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, a fixed clamping angle 3 is added in the direction of wire exit between the winding reel and the flat connector, so that the wire rope 7 changes from a right-angle exit to a corner exit, which restricts the axial freedom of the wire rope and ensures that the wire rope cannot come out of the winding reel groove 6 during the assembly process.
[0025] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a pre-reserved groove 5 is added to the front of the winding reel, changing the winding method from the equipment rubbing the connector into the pre-reserved groove. The winding reel first places the flat connector of the wire rope into the connector groove 4 for fixation, and then places the wire rope into the pre-reserved groove 5 for fixation. Then the equipment reverses the winding reel, so that the wire rope enters the winding reel groove 6. This solves the problem of the lifting device malfunctioning due to damage to the winding reel and connector when the equipment jams the connector.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the front of the winding reel is changed from a round connector mounting groove to a flat connector mounting groove, which reduces the amount of zinc alloy material used in the connector and also makes the size of the winding reel of this utility model smaller, saving costs and enhancing product competitiveness.
