Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a mounting structure, suspension system, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in automotive suspension systems, when installing wiring harnesses in the control arm area, mounting holes are typically drilled at fixed locations on the control arm and surrounding areas to secure the wiring harness. When the control arm or surrounding fixed locations move, the wiring harness will move accordingly, thus requiring slack in the wiring harness to accommodate different swing amplitudes of the control arm. However, longer wiring harnesses are more expensive and may cause interference problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the issue of interference caused by long wiring harnesses, embodiments of this application provide an installation structure, suspension system, and vehicle in which the wiring harness can be adjusted with a sliding structure to shorten its length.

[0004] This application provides an installation structure including a swing arm and a sliding member. One end of the swing arm is rotatably connected to a brake structure, and the other end is rotatably connected to a vehicle body structure. The sliding member is slidably connected to the swing arm and can slide along the swing arm. The sliding member is used to fix a wiring harness and allow the wiring harness to slide with the sliding member, and the wiring harness is used for electrical connection with the brake structure.

[0005] Understandably, the sliding member is slidably connected to the swing arm, allowing the wiring harness connected to the sliding member to move with it. When the vehicle bumps and the swing arm moves, the sliding member can move along the swing arm, thereby causing one end of the wiring harness to also move along the swing arm. This allows the wiring harness to be flexibly adjusted according to different positions of the swing arm, eliminating the need for a long wiring harness to adapt to different positions of the swing arm. This can appropriately reduce the length of the wiring harness, lower costs, and avoid interference problems caused by excessively long wiring harnesses.

[0006] In one embodiment, the slider has a sliding hole, and the swing arm portion is slidably located within the sliding hole.

[0007] In one embodiment, a limiting structure is provided on at least one side of the swing arm along a first direction, the limiting structure restricting the sliding stroke of the slider.

[0008] In one embodiment, the limiting structure includes a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion being spaced apart, and the sliding member being able to slide between the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion.

[0009] In one embodiment, the swing arm is provided with a groove, and the sliding member can slide in the groove. Along the sliding direction of the sliding member, the groove walls on opposite sides of the groove are respectively provided as the first limiting part and the second limiting part.

[0010] In one embodiment, the slider includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion being detachably connected.

[0011] In one embodiment, the slider is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure for holding the wire harness.

[0012] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure is a protrusion provided on the slider, the protrusion having a groove, the wire harness being located within the groove and limited by the groove so that the wire harness is connected to the slider.

[0013] This application also provides a suspension system, including a braking structure and a mounting structure as described above, wherein the mounting structure is connected to the braking structure.

[0014] Understandably, suspension systems using the above-mentioned mounting structure can use shorter wiring harnesses without affecting the movement of the control arm, reducing production costs while avoiding interference problems caused by excessively long wiring harnesses.

[0015] This application also provides a vehicle, including a body structure and a suspension system as described above, wherein the suspension system is connected to the body structure.

[0016] Understandably, vehicles using the aforementioned suspension system can utilize shorter wiring harnesses that move with the control arms, saving on wiring harness costs and avoiding interference with other structures caused by excessively long wiring harnesses. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides an installation structure 100, which includes a swing arm 1 and a slider 2. One end of the swing arm 1 is rotatably connected to a brake structure 201, and the other end is rotatably connected to a vehicle body structure 301. The slider 2 is slidably connected to the swing arm 1 and can slide along the swing arm 1. The slider 2 is used to fix the wiring harness 202 and to allow the wiring harness 202 to slide with the slider 2. The wiring harness 202 is used for electrical connection with the brake structure 201.

[0026] In this embodiment, one end of the swing arm 1 is hinged to the brake structure 201, and the other end is also hinged to the vehicle body structure 301. The end of the swing arm 1 connected to the brake structure 201 can move relative to the vehicle body structure 301 with the brake structure 201 when the vehicle 300 bumps. The end of the swing arm 1 connected to the vehicle body structure 301 does not move. The vehicle body structure 301 can be a shock absorber. The slider 2 can be a slider that can slide along the swing arm 1; no further restrictions are imposed here. When the swing arm 1 moves, the slider 2 can move back and forth on the swing arm 1 along the extension direction of the swing arm 1 to adjust the position of the slider 2.

[0027] Wiring harness 202 is a component within the vehicle 300. One end of it can be fixedly connected to the vehicle body structure 301, and the other end can be equipped with an electrical connector. Wiring harness 202 is electrically connected to electronic components in the brake structure 201, such as wheel speed sensors, through this connector. To prevent excessive swaying of wiring harness 202 during vehicle operation and potential interference, the middle portion of wiring harness 202 is usually also fixed. Therefore, a portion of wiring harness 202 can be connected to the swing arm 1 to prevent excessive swaying. In this embodiment, wiring harness 202 is connected to the sliding member 2, specifically through snap-fit ​​or welding connections, without further limitations. The wiring harness 202 is connected to the slider 2 to follow the slider 2 in changing its position, so that the distance between the end of the wiring harness 202 connected to the slider 2 and the end of the wiring harness 202 connected to the vehicle body structure 301 does not change with the swing arm 1. This allows the length of the wiring harness 202 to be set to be shorter, without the need to set a longer wiring harness 202 to leave extra length to accommodate the swing arm 1.

[0028] It is understandable that the sliding member 2 is slidably connected to the swing arm 1, allowing the wiring harness 202 connected to the sliding member 2 to move with the sliding member 2. When the vehicle 300 bumps and causes the swing arm 1 to move, the sliding member 2 can move along the swing arm 1, thereby causing one end of the wiring harness 202 to also move along the swing arm 1. This allows the wiring harness 202 to be flexibly adjusted according to different positions of the swing arm 1, eliminating the need for a long wiring harness 202 to adapt to different positions of the swing arm 1. The length of the wiring harness 202 can be appropriately reduced, lowering costs and avoiding interference problems caused by an excessively long wiring harness 202.

[0029] Further integration Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the slider 2 has a sliding hole 21, and the swing arm 1 is slidably located in the sliding hole 21.

[0030] For ease of reading, this application introduces a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z to describe the embodiments of this application. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z can be three non-parallel straight lines in space; further, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z can be three mutually perpendicular directions in a three-dimensional coordinate system (a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system). In subsequent embodiments, the first direction X is described as the X-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system, the second direction Y is the Y-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system, and the third direction Z is the Z-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system.

[0031] In this embodiment, the slider 2 has a sliding hole 21 so that the swing arm 1 can pass through and move within the sliding hole 21. The sliding hole 21 is located approximately at the center of the slider 2 and extends through the end face of one end of the slider 2 to the end face of the other end along the sliding direction of the slider 2, so that the entire slider 2 is generally arranged in a hollow columnar structure. When the swing arm 1 is placed in the sliding hole 21, the slider 2 can cover the surfaces of the swing arm 1 placed in the sliding hole 21 on both sides in the second direction Y and on both sides in the third direction Z, so as to ensure that the movement of the slider 2 relative to the swing arm 1 is more reliable when moving in the first direction X.

[0032] It is understandable that by opening a sliding hole 21 in the slider 2 and slidably positioning part of the swing arm 1 within the sliding hole 21, the slider 2 can slide relative to the swing arm 1. Furthermore, since the slider 2 is sleeved on the outside of the swing arm 1, the sliding connection between the slider 2 and the swing arm 1 is relatively firm, and the slider 2 will not easily detach from the swing arm 1 during the sliding process, ensuring a good and reliable sliding process.

[0033] In one embodiment, the slider 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 24, which is used to hold the middle section of the wire harness 202.

[0034] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure 24 can fix the wire harness 202 sleeve onto the slider 2, thus realizing the connection between the wire harness 202 and the slider 2.

[0035] Understandably, the wire harness 202 is connected to the slider 2 via a snap-fit ​​connection, thus achieving the connection between the wire harness 202 and the slider 2. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​method makes the installation of the wire harness 202 simpler and faster, saving installation time and improving installation efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure 24 is a protrusion 240 provided on the slider 2, and a groove 241 is formed on the protrusion 240. The wire harness 202 can be located in the groove 241 and limited by the groove 241 so that the wire harness 202 is connected to the slider 2. Along the second direction Y, the protrusion 240 protrudes outward from one side surface of the slider 2, and the groove 241 is formed after being recessed from the end face of the protrusion 240 away from the slider 2 towards the slider 2. In addition, along the first direction X, the groove 241 penetrates the protrusion 240.

[0037] In this embodiment, the groove 241 can be set according to the shape and size of the wire harness 202. The wire harness 202 can enter the groove 241 under the action of external force. When the wire harness 202 is located in the groove 241, it can be restricted to displacement in the second direction Y and the third direction Z to complete the connection between the wire harness 202 and the slider 2.

[0038] Understandably, the protrusion 240 on the slider 2 facilitates connection with the wire harness 202. The wire harness 202 can be engaged with the slider 2 via the groove 241 on the protrusion 240, thus achieving the connection between the wire harness 202 and the slider 2. By providing the protrusion 240 and groove 241 on the slider 2, the wire harness 202 can be connected to the slider 2 via engagement, and the installation of the wire harness 202 is simple and quick, improving installation efficiency.

[0039] Further integration Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a limiting structure 11 is provided on at least one side of the swing arm 1 along the first direction X, and the limiting structure 11 restricts the sliding stroke of the slider 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the swing arm 1 is provided with limiting structures 11 on both sides in the first direction X to limit the displacement of the slider 2 along the swing arm 1. When the slider 2 slides along the swing arm 1, it can abut against the limiting structures 11 to limit its sliding along the swing arm 1.

[0041] It is understandable that by setting the limiting structure 11, the sliding stroke of the slider 2 is limited, thereby ensuring that the sliding of the slider 2 is within a certain range and will not detach from the swing arm 1, thus improving the sliding stability of the slider 2.

[0042] In one embodiment, the limiting structure 11 includes a first limiting part 111 and a second limiting part 112, the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112 are spaced apart, the slider 2 can slide between the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112, and the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112 are used to abut against the slider 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112 are spaced apart along the sliding direction of the slider 2. When the slider 2 slides along the swing arm 1, it can abut against the first limiting part 111 or the second limiting part 112 to be limited to the displacement of sliding along the swing arm 1. The first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112 can each be provided on both sides of the third direction Z of the swing arm 1, so that the slider 2 can abut against the first limiting part 111 or the second limiting part 112 on both sides of the third direction Z.

[0044] It is understandable that by setting the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112, the sliding member 2 is restricted on both sides during its sliding stroke along the swing arm 1, thereby ensuring that the sliding stroke of the sliding member 2 is controlled and that the sliding of the sliding member 2 is reliable.

[0045] In one embodiment, the swing arm 1 is provided with a sliding groove 12, and the sliding member 2 can slide in the sliding groove 12. Along the sliding direction of the sliding member 2, the groove walls on opposite sides of the sliding groove 12 are respectively provided as a first limiting part 111 and a second limiting part 112.

[0046] In this embodiment, the swing arm 1 has a groove 12 on each side in the third direction Z, so that the slider 2 can abut against the groove wall of the groove 12 on both sides in the third direction Z, thereby further limiting the sliding stroke of the slider 2. Along the sliding direction of the slider 2, the groove walls on opposite sides of the groove 12 are a first limiting part 111 and a second limiting part 112, so that when the slider 2 slides in the groove 12, it can abut against the two groove walls of the groove 12 in the first direction X, thus limiting the slider 2, so that the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112 can limit the sliding of the slider 2 along the swing arm 1.

[0047] Understandably, the opening of the slide groove 12 makes the movement of the slider 2 along the swing arm 1 more reliable, and the maximum sliding stroke of the slider 2 is fixed, which can prevent the slider 2 from detaching from the swing arm 1 during the sliding process, ensuring that the slider 2 is used well and can drive the wire harness 202 to move within a certain range.

[0048] In one embodiment, the slider 2 is formed in two parts, and the slider 2 includes a first connecting part 22 and a second connecting part 23, which are detachably connected.

[0049] In this embodiment, since the length of both ends of the swing arm 1 in the first direction X in the third direction Z is greater than the distance between the groove walls on both sides of the sliding hole 21 in the third direction Z, it is inconvenient for the sliding member 2 to enter the swing arm 1 from the end of the swing arm 1 in the first direction X and connect with the swing arm 1. Therefore, the sliding member 2, which is separately formed, can be connected at the sliding groove 12 of the swing arm 1, which facilitates the connection of the sliding member 2 and ensures that the sliding member 2 slides between the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112. The first connecting part 22 and the second connecting part 23 are both approximately "U" shaped, and the openings of the first connecting part 22 and the second connecting part 23 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the first connecting part 22 and the second connecting part 23 are connected to form the sliding member 2 with the aforementioned sliding hole 21. The first connecting part 22 and the second connecting part 23 can be connected by snap-fit, or by bolts or other connecting parts. The detachable connection between the first connecting part 22 and the second connecting part 23 can be other connection methods, which are not limited here.

[0050] It is understandable that the sliding member 2, which is formed by split molding, is easy to slide and connect to the swing arm 1. When the sliding member 2 slides in the slide groove 12, it is limited by the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 112, which improves the stability of the sliding member 2 during sliding and facilitates the installation of the sliding member 2.

[0051] This application embodiment also provides a suspension system 200, including a brake structure 201 and a mounting structure 100 as described above, wherein the mounting structure 100 is connected to the brake structure 201.

[0052] In this embodiment, the suspension system 200 is a mechanism connecting the wheels and the vehicle body, responsible for buffering road impacts, maintaining wheel alignment, transmitting driving force, and balancing handling and comfort. The suspension system 200 includes a brake structure 201, and the control arm 1 in the mounting structure 100 can be connected to the brake structure 201 to realize the connection between the mounting structure 100 and the brake structure 201.

[0053] It is understandable that the suspension system 200 using the above-mentioned mounting structure 100 can use a shorter wiring harness 202 without affecting the movement of the swing arm 1, reducing production costs while avoiding interference problems caused by an excessively long wiring harness 202.

[0054] This application embodiment also provides a vehicle 300, including a body structure 301 and a suspension system 200 as described above, the suspension system 200 being connected to the body structure 301.

[0055] In this embodiment, the suspension system 200 includes the mounting structure 100 as described above. The mounting structure 100 includes a swing arm 1, which can be connected to the vehicle body structure 301 to realize the connection between the suspension system 200 and the vehicle body structure 301.

[0056] It is understandable that in a vehicle 300 using the above-mentioned suspension system 200, a shorter wiring harness 202 can be used to move with the control arm 1, saving the cost of the wiring harness 202 and avoiding interference to other structures caused by an excessively long wiring harness 202.

[0057] The specific embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. All such changes and substitutions fall within the scope defined by this application.
