[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0032] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 The wire harness fixing structure 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the wire harness fixing structure 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes: a fixing plate 10 and a fixing member 20.

[0034] Specifically, the fixing plate 10 has mounting holes and a first mounting part 11. The first mounting part 11 is used to fix the wire harness connector 70. The fixing member 20 passes through the mounting holes. The fixing member 20 has a second mounting part 21 and a third mounting part 22. The second mounting part 21 and the third mounting part 22 are respectively located on both sides of the fixing plate 10 in the thickness direction. The second mounting part 21 is used to connect with the vehicle body, and the third mounting part 22 is used to fix the wire harness.

[0035] The wire harness connector 70 is used to enable the insertion of two wire harnesses. Each wire harness has a plug, and the plugs on the two wire harnesses are inserted together to form the wire harness connector 70.

[0036] During vehicle design, the wiring harness fixing structure 100 can be used to fix both the wiring harness and the wiring harness connector 70. This makes it easier to find the fixing points for the wiring harness and the wiring harness connector 70 during vehicle design. Furthermore, it reduces the number of fixing structures used to fix the wiring harness and the wiring harness connector 70 on the vehicle body. This reduces the amount of coordination logic that needs to be considered during vehicle design and minimizes structural changes to the fixing structures on the vehicle body. As a result, it reduces the design difficulty of the vehicle and lowers the production cost.

[0037] During vehicle assembly, the second mounting part 21 is connected to the vehicle body, fixing the wiring harness fixing structure 100 to the vehicle body. The wiring harness connector 70 is connected to the first mounting part 11, fixing the wiring harness connector 70 at the wiring harness fixing structure 100. The wiring harness is connected to the third mounting part 22, fixing the wiring harness at the third mounting part 22. Thus, during assembly, only one wiring harness fixing structure 100 needs to be assembled to secure the wiring harness and the wiring harness connector 70 to the wiring harness fixing structure 100, reducing the number of steps in the assembly process and thus lowering production difficulty.

[0038] For example, when it is necessary to fix the wiring harness and wiring harness connector 70 in some narrow places on the vehicle body, the number of mounting points on the vehicle body and the number of assembly operations in narrow places on the vehicle body can be reduced, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0039] During the production of the wire harness fixing structure 100, the second mounting part 21 and the third mounting part 22 are integrated on the fixing member 20, and the fixing member 20 is fixed in the mounting hole. The production process of the wire harness fixing structure 100 is relatively simple, which can reduce the production difficulty of the wire harness fixing structure 100.

[0040] According to the wiring harness fixing structure 100 of the first aspect of the present invention, on the one hand, it integrates the fixing points of the wiring harness and the wiring harness connector 70. In the process of vehicle design, both the wiring harness and the wiring harness connector 70 can be fixed at the wiring harness fixing structure 100, making it easier to arrange the wiring harness and the wiring harness connector 70 on the vehicle. It can also reduce the number of fixing structures on the vehicle and reduce the modifications to the vehicle body to match the fixing structures, thereby reducing the design difficulty and development cost of the vehicle. In the process of vehicle production, it can reduce the number of assembled parts, thereby reducing the production difficulty. On the other hand, the wiring harness fixing points and the fixing points of the wiring harness fixing structure 100 on the vehicle body are all integrated on the fixing member 20, which can simplify the production process of the wiring harness fixing structure 100, thereby further reducing the production difficulty.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the first mounting part 11 and the third mounting part 22 are provided on the same side of the fixing plate 10 in the thickness direction.

[0042] In other words, at the wire harness fixing structure 100, the wire harness and the wire harness connector 70 are fixed on the same side of the fixing plate 10. In this way, it is easier to avoid the surrounding environment during the assembly of the wire harness and the wire harness connector 70, thereby further reducing the difficulty of production.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first mounting portion 11 is adapted to snap-fit ​​connection with the wire harness connector 70. The snap-fit ​​connection is simple to operate, which can further reduce the assembly difficulty, and the snap-fit ​​connection has high strength and reliability, making it easier to ensure that the connection strength and reliability between the wire harness connector 70 and the first mounting portion 11 meet the design requirements.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first mounting part 11 is disposed on one side surface of the fixing plate 10 in the thickness direction. The first mounting part 11 includes a sliding groove that passes through the first mounting part 11 along a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the fixing plate 10. The two sides of the sliding groove in the width direction are respectively formed with inwardly folded snap-fit ​​flanges. The wire harness connector 70 is formed with a snap-fit ​​groove that is adapted to the snap-fit ​​flange. The snap-fit ​​groove is adapted to cooperate with the snap-fit ​​flange so that the wire harness connector 70 is snapped in the sliding groove.

[0045] During assembly, the wire harness connector 70 is inserted into the slide groove from one side and the snap-fit ​​flange is made to engage with the snap-fit ​​groove. Then, the wire harness connector 70 is gradually pushed in so that it snaps into the slide groove. As a result, the assembly of the wire harness connector 70 is relatively simple, and the connection strength and reliability between the wire harness connector 70 and the fixing plate 10 are high.

[0046] When multiple wire harness connectors 70 need to be assembled in narrow areas of the vehicle body, the wire harness connectors 70 can be inserted into the groove through the wire harness, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second mounting part 21 is snapped into connection with the vehicle body.

[0048] The snap-fit ​​connection is simple to operate, which can further reduce the assembly difficulty. In addition, the snap-fit ​​connection has high strength and reliability, making it easier to ensure that the connection strength and reliability between the second mounting part 21 and the vehicle body meet the design requirements.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting part 21 includes a snap-fit ​​connector, and snap-fit ​​holes are formed on the vehicle body, the snap-fit ​​connector being adapted to snap into the snap-fit ​​holes.

[0050] During assembly, the wire harness fixing structure 100 can be connected to the vehicle body by simply inserting the connector into the hole. The operation is relatively simple, and the simple structure of the connector and hole can further reduce the design difficulty of the vehicle.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fastener 20 is also provided with a first limiting plate 23. The first limiting plate 23 is located on the side of the snap connector facing the fixing plate 10. In the projection plane perpendicular to the opening direction of the fixing hole, at least a portion of the edge of the first limiting plate 23 extends beyond the outer edge of the snap connector.

[0052] In other words, either a portion of the edge of the first limiting plate 23 extends beyond the outer edge of the card connector, or the entire edge of the first limiting plate 23 extends beyond the outer edge of the card connector.

[0053] During the process of the end of the fastener 20 with the third mounting part 22 extending into the fixing hole, when the first limiting plate 23 abuts against the edge of the fixing hole, the first limiting plate 23 can prevent the fastener 20 from extending further. During the process of the snap-fit ​​connector extending into the snap-fit ​​hole, when the first limiting plate 23 abuts against the edge of the snap-fit ​​hole, the first limiting plate 23 can prevent the snap-fit ​​connector from extending further. Thus, during the assembly process, the operator can more easily know whether each operation step is assembled in place, thereby further reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the third mounting part 22 includes a fixing hole, and the wire harness fixing structure 100 further includes a strap 30, which passes through the fixing hole and is adapted to bind the wire harness so that the wire harness is fixed to the third mounting part 22.

[0055] During assembly, the cable tie 30 is first passed through the fixing hole, and then the wire harness is tied with the cable tie 30. In this way, the wire harness can be fixed on the third mounting part 22. The operation is relatively simple and has strong adaptability.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the wire harness fixing structure 100 also includes: a first wire harness 40, a second wire harness 50 and a third wire harness 60. The first wire harness 40 and the second wire harness 50 are connected by a wire harness connector 70, and the third wire harness 60 is connected to the third mounting part 22.

[0057] In other words, the wiring harness fixed by the third mounting part 22 is different from the wiring harness connected to the wiring harness connector 70 fixed by the first mounting part 11. Thus, the wiring harness fixing structure 100 can meet the fixing needs of different wiring harnesses. During vehicle design, the wiring harness fixing structure 100 can reasonably connect similar wiring harnesses according to design requirements.

[0058] The vehicle according to a second aspect of the present invention includes: the wiring harness fixing structure 100 described above according to a first aspect of the present invention.

[0059] According to the second aspect of the present invention, by providing the wiring harness fixing structure 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention, the design difficulty, development cost and production difficulty of the vehicle can be reduced.
