[0002] The various electronic components in the vehicle lights are stably connected to the circuit board and connectors. In related technologies, the wiring harness inside the connector is often led out from the side away from the circuit board in its insertion direction. However, the side of the circuit board along the insertion direction has more parts, which makes the wiring harness led out from the connector easily worn by the surrounding parts during the insertion and assembly process. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of this application aim to provide a wiring harness guide, a wiring harness connector assembly, a connector device, a vehicle lamp, and a vehicle that can reduce wear on the exposed wiring harness.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0005] One embodiment of this application discloses a wire harness guide, which has a guide groove. The guide groove has a slot and an inlet. The wire harness can be led out from the slot through the inlet and the guide groove. The opening direction of the slot intersects the opening direction of the inlet.

[0006] In one embodiment, the wire harness guide has a toothed protrusion that is inserted into the opponent through the wire harness outlet of the opponent. When the toothed protrusion is inside the opponent, it abuts against the inner wall of the wire harness and the opponent.

[0007] In one embodiment, the wire harness guide includes a body, a blocking portion, and an abutting portion. The body has the insert teeth formed thereon. The blocking portion is disposed on one side of the body along the opening direction of the inlet. The abutting portion is disposed on the side of the body along a first direction, so as to jointly define the guide groove, the slot, and the inlet. When the insert teeth are located in the opposing member, the abutting portion abuts against the periphery of the wire harness outlet. The first direction, the opening direction of the slot, and the opening direction of the inlet intersect each other.

[0008] In one embodiment, the body has a stepped surface that abuts against the periphery of the wire harness outlet when the insert is located within the counter piece.

[0009] Another aspect of this application discloses a wire harness connector assembly, including a wire harness connector and a wire harness guide as described in the above embodiments. The wire harness guide is disposed on the wire harness connector, and the inlet communicates with the internal space of the wire harness connector.

[0010] In one embodiment, the wire harness guide is plugged into the wire harness connector.

[0011] In another aspect, this application discloses a connector device, including a circuit board and the wire harness connector assembly described in the above embodiments, wherein the wire harness connector is connected to the circuit board.

[0012] In one embodiment, the circuit board is provided with a circuit board connector, the wire harness connector is plugged into the circuit board connector, and the portion of the circuit board provided with the circuit board connector forms a visible portion.

[0013] In one embodiment, the circuit board connector is disposed on the edge of the circuit board, and the visible portion is a U-shaped groove.

[0014] In one embodiment, the circuit board has a heat dissipation vent facing the connection portion between the wire harness connector and the circuit board connector.

[0015] Another aspect of this application discloses a vehicle light, including the wiring harness guide, the wiring harness connector assembly, or the connector device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0016] Another aspect of this application discloses a vehicle including the headlights described in the above embodiments.

[0017] This application discloses a wire harness guide, a wire harness connector assembly, a connector device, a vehicle lamp, and a vehicle. The wire harness guide forms a guide groove, a slot, and an inlet, allowing the wire harness to be led out from the slot through the guide groove via the inlet. The opening direction of the slot intersects with the opening direction of the inlet. On the one hand, the wire harness can be led out from the inlet through the guide groove in a direction intersecting with the opening direction of the inlet, thus reducing wear caused by the wire harness coming into contact with components along the opening direction of the inlet during assembly, and improving the service life of the wire harness. On the other hand, after assembly, since the direction in which the wire harness is led out intersects with the opening direction of the inlet, the space occupied along the opening direction of the inlet is reduced, thereby reducing structural interference with related components.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation should be understood as explanations of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as undue limitations on this application.

[0029] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the embodiments of this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly including at least one feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0030] One embodiment of this application provides a wire harness guide 1, which has a guide groove 1a. The guide groove 1a has a groove opening 1b and an inlet opening 1d. The wire harness A can be led out from the groove opening 1b through the guide groove 1a via the inlet opening 1d. The opening direction of the groove opening 1b intersects with the opening direction of the inlet opening 1d.

[0031] Guide groove 1a refers to the channel used to guide the wire harness A inside the hand component.

[0032] The opening direction of slot 1b intersects with the opening direction of inlet 1d, and the two can be perpendicular to each other at 90° or at other angles.

[0033] The counterpart can be a wire harness connector or other components.

[0034] Wire harness connector 2 refers to an electronic component that internally connects one end of wire harness A, and the other end of wire harness A is led out to connect with other connectors or components. For example, wire harness connector 2 can be a plug, socket, or connector, etc.

[0035] The wire harness guide 1 provided in this application forms a guide groove 1a, a slot 1b, and an inlet 1d, allowing the wire harness A to be led out from the slot 1b through the guide groove 1a via the inlet 1d. The opening direction of the slot 1b intersects with the opening direction of the inlet 1d. On the one hand, the wire harness A can be led out from the inlet 1d via the guide groove 1a in a direction intersecting with the opening direction of the inlet 1d. This reduces the wear caused by the wire harness A coming into contact with components along the opening direction of the inlet 1d during assembly, thus improving the service life of the wire harness A. On the other hand, after assembly, since the direction in which the wire harness A is led out intersects with the opening direction of the inlet 1d, the space occupied along the opening direction of the inlet 1d is reduced, thereby reducing structural interference with related components.

[0036] For example, Figure 8 In this context, R1 can be the opening direction of slot 1b, and R2 can be the opening direction of the outlet. Figure 6 R3 in the equation can be the first direction.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The wire harness guide 1 has a tooth 1c. The tooth 1c is inserted into the opponent through the wire harness outlet 2a of the opponent. When the tooth 1c is inside the opponent, the tooth 1c abuts against the inner wall of the wire harness A and the opponent.

[0038] The wire harness outlet 2a of the connector is used to lead out the wire harness A. The opening direction of the wire harness outlet 2a, the opening direction of the inlet 1d, and the insertion direction of the connector are consistent.

[0039] With the tooth 1c located inside the opposing part, the tooth 1c abuts against the inner wall of the wire harness A and the opposing part along the opening direction of the slot 1b.

[0040] In this way, by forming a tooth 1c on the wire harness guide 1, the tooth 1c can be inserted into the counterpart through the wire harness outlet 2a without additional drilling for the tooth 1c to be installed. Thus, it can be applied to other existing counterparts, reducing the processing difficulty of the counterpart. Moreover, when the tooth 1c is in the counterpart, the tooth 1c abuts against the inner wall of the wire harness A and the counterpart, which can improve the connection strength between the wire harness guide 1 and the counterpart, resulting in good working stability.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The wire harness guide 1 includes a body 11, a blocking part 12, and an abutting part 13. The body 11 has a tooth 1c. The blocking part 12 is disposed on one side of the body 11 along the opening direction of the inlet 1d. The abutting part 13 is disposed on the side of the body 11 along a first direction, so as to jointly define the guide groove 1a, the slot 1b, and the inlet 1d. When the tooth 1c is located in the opponent, the abutting part 13 abuts against the periphery of the wire harness outlet 2a. The first direction, the opening direction of the slot 1b, and the opening direction of the inlet 1d intersect each other.

[0042] For example, the blocking part 12 can be provided on the side of the body 11 away from the tooth 1c along the opening direction of the inlet 1d. There can be two abutting parts 13, which can be provided on the side of the body 11 along the first direction. The blocking part 12, the body 11, and the abutting parts 13 together define the guide groove 1a, the slot 1b, and the inlet 1d. When the tooth 1c is located within the contact member, the abutting part 13 can abut against the periphery of the wire harness outlet 2a.

[0043] In this way, by providing the blocking part 12, the wire harness A from the wire harness outlet 2a can be blocked, requiring the wire harness A to bypass the blocking part 12 and be led out to the slot 1b. This not only protects the wire harness A but also reduces the space occupied by the counterparts along the opening direction of the inlet 1d, thus reducing interference with other components. By providing the abutting part 13, when the insert 1c is located inside the counterparts, the abutting part 13 abuts against the periphery of the wire harness outlet 2a, providing a insertion feedback effect, reducing the squeezing and damage of the insert 1c to the wire harness A inside the counterparts, and improving the service life of the counterparts.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The number of insert teeth 1c is multiple, and the multiple insert teeth 1c are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0045] In this way, by setting multiple spaced inserts 1c, not only can the overall weight and manufacturing cost of the wire harness guide 1 be reduced, but the connection strength between the wire harness guide 1 and the wire harness A contact can also be improved.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The body 11 has a stepped surface 11a, which abuts against the periphery of the outlet when the tooth 1c is located inside the counter.

[0047] For example, the portion of the body 11 where the insert 1c is formed can have a stepped surface 11a. When the insert 1c is located inside the counter, the stepped surface 11a can abut against the periphery of the wire harness outlet 2a on one side along the opening direction of the slot 1b, so as to further reduce the squeezing damage of the insert 1c to the wire harness A inside the counter and improve the service life of the counter.

[0048] As an example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The dimensions h1 of the blocking part 12 along the opening direction of the slot 1b and the dimensions h2 of the body 11 between the insert tooth 1c and the blocking part 12 can be adapted and adjusted according to the spatial arrangement of the wire harness A circuit.

[0049] Another embodiment of this application provides a wire harness connector assembly 10, please refer to... Figures 2 to 7 It includes a wire harness connector 2 and a wire harness guide 1 in any of the above embodiments. The wire harness guide 1 is disposed on the wire harness connector 2, and the inlet 1d communicates with the internal space of the wire harness connector 2.

[0050] The wire harness connector assembly 10 provided in this application, based on the advantages of the wire harness guide 1 in the above embodiments, also reduces wear on the lead wire harness A during assembly.

[0051] In one embodiment, the wire harness guide 1 is plugged into the wire harness connector 2.

[0052] For example, the wire harness guide 1 can be inserted into the wire harness connector 2 via the tooth 1c.

[0053] Here, the wire harness guide 1 and the wire harness connector 2 are connected by a plug-in method, which facilitates the installation and removal of the wire harness guide 1. In this way, wire harness guide 1 with different slot opening directions can be selected to match the wire harness connector 2 according to the wire harness A guiding direction, so as to adapt to the assembly of different scenarios and have good flexibility.

[0054] In another aspect, this application provides a connector 100, please refer to... Figures 2 to 7It includes a circuit board 20 and a wire harness connector assembly 10 in the above embodiment, with the wire harness connector 2 connected to the circuit board 20.

[0055] Circuit board 20 refers to providing stable circuit connections for various electronic components in the vehicle light 1000. For example, it can be divided into LED circuit board 20 and LED driver control board.

[0056] The connector 100 provided in this application, based on the advantages of the above-mentioned wire harness connector assembly 10, also reduces wear on the lead wire harness A during assembly.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The circuit board 20 is provided with a circuit board connector 20a, and the wire harness connector 2 is plugged into and cooperates with the circuit board connector 20a. The part of the circuit board 20 where the circuit board connector 20a is provided forms a visible part.

[0058] By connecting the wire harness connector 2 with the circuit board connector 20a, the installation and removal efficiency can be improved.

[0059] Here, when the wire harness connector 2 is inserted into the circuit board connector 20a, the insertion process can be visually inspected through the visible part on the circuit board 20, reducing the occurrence of loose insertion or incomplete insertion and improving its working stability.

[0060] For example, in one embodiment, the visible part can be a transparent structure, or it can be a groove, hole, or opening, etc.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The circuit board connector 20a is located on the edge of the circuit board 20, and the visible part is a U-shaped groove 20b.

[0062] In this way, by setting the U-shaped groove 20b, it is convenient for manual visual inspection or machine vision inspection equipment to be used on the production line, ensuring that the plug-in assembly is in place, reducing the occurrence of loose plugs or incomplete plugs, and can also meet the heat dissipation and wiring requirements to a certain extent.

[0063] As an example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The length dimension a and width dimension b of the U-shaped groove 20b can be adjusted to match the dimensions of the circuit board connector 20a and the wire harness connector 2, as well as the testing requirements.

[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The circuit board 20 has a heat dissipation vent 20c, which faces the insertion part of the wire harness connector 2 and the circuit board connector 20a.

[0065] Here, by opening a heat dissipation vent 20c on the circuit board 20, heat can be dissipated from the insertion part of the wire harness connector 2 and the circuit board connector 20a, reducing the possibility of the circuit board 20, the circuit board connector 20a, the wire harness connector 2 and the wire harness A burning out due to overheating of the insertion part, thus improving their service life. In addition, the heat dissipation vent 20c faces the insertion part of the wire harness connector 2 and the circuit board connector 20a, which allows for visual inspection to a certain extent.

[0066] For example, the heat dissipation vent 20c can be circular, such as... Figure 4 The heat dissipation vent 20c can also be rectangular, such as... Figure 5 Of course, it could also be other aliens.
