Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive lighting technology, specifically to a wiring harness connector fixing assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The various wiring harnesses on a vehicle headlight are typically connected using wiring harness connectors. How to secure these connectors is a frequent challenge for headlight developers. In most cases, connectors such as... Figure 1 The conventional wiring harness clip 3 shown secures the automotive wiring harness connector to the lamp housing or vehicle body. However, the wiring harness clip 3 has a complex structure and large size, which not only takes up a lot of space but also increases the overall cost of the lamp, reducing the product's competitiveness in the market. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and provide a wire harness connector fixing assembly, including a wire harness connector fixing device 1 and a wire harness connector 2. The wire harness connector fixing device 1 is provided with a positioning groove composed of multiple sets of positioning ribs. The wire harness connector 2 slides into the wire harness connector fixing device 1 along the positioning groove and is engaged and fixed thereto.

[0004] In the above scheme, the wire harness connector fixing device 1 has a mountain-shaped structure, including a connecting plate, side plate a, middle plate, and side plate b. Side plate a, middle plate, and side plate b are fixed parallel to each other at a certain distance from each other at both ends and the middle of the connecting plate. Positioning ribs c1-5 and d1-6 are respectively protruding on side plate a and side plate b, and positioning rib b1-4 is protruding on the middle plate. Positioning ribs b1-4, c1-5, and d1-6 are arranged in a staggered manner to form positioning grooves, which are used to limit the bottom surface, top surface, and two sides of the wire harness connector 2, allowing it to slide.

[0005] In the above scheme, the positioning ribs c1-5 are columnar or rod-shaped and are vertically fixed on side plates a and b, with positioning ribs c1-5 located at the top layer (above the corresponding wire harness connector 2). The vertical distance between positioning ribs c1-5 and positioning ribs b1-4 is equal to the height of the wire harness connector 2, ensuring that the wire harness connector 2 can slide through without wobbling up and down.

[0006] In the above scheme, the positioning ribs d1-6 are sheet-like and are vertically fixed on side plates a and b, and the positioning ribs d1-6 are located in the middle layer (corresponding to both sides of the wire harness connector 2). The distance between these two positioning ribs d1-6 is equal to the width of the wire harness connector 2, ensuring that the wire harness connector 2 can slide through without shaking.

[0007] In the above scheme, the wire harness connector fixing device 1 also includes two sets of flexible locking feet 1-2. The flexible locking feet 1-2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle plate, and the claws at the ends of the flexible locking feet 1-2 face the middle plate. After the wire harness connector 2 slides in along the positioning groove, it is locked between the two flexible locking feet 1-2 to prevent it from moving left and right.

[0008] In the above scheme, the wire harness connector 2 includes a connector body and a connector positioning rib 2-2 located at the end, with a groove provided between the two. After the wire harness connector 2 slides into the wire harness connector fixing device 1 along the positioning groove, the claws of the flexible clamping foot 1-2 are engaged in the groove of the wire harness connector 2.

[0009] In the above scheme, the wire harness connector fixing device 1 further includes a positioning rib a 1-3. The positioning rib a 1-3 protrudes from the connecting plate of the wire harness connector fixing device 1 and is located between the two flexible locking feet 1-2. After assembly, the positioning rib a 1-3 contacts and presses against the connector positioning rib 2-2 at the end of the wire harness connector 2.

[0010] Compared with existing similar products or technologies, the advantages of this utility model are mainly reflected in the following points: (1) The vehicle wiring harness connector is reliably fixed by the cooperation between the buckle and the positioning rib, effectively preventing it from moving or flipping; (2) The vehicle wiring harness connector fixing component not only has the advantages of simple structure, small space occupation and low cost, but also can be quickly disassembled and assembled with one hand without the need for tools, which improves the stability and reliability of the fixing of the vehicle lamp parts; (3) Compared with the traditional connector fixing method, the fixing method of this utility model reduces the number of parts and assembly difficulty, does not compress the internal space of the lamp body, is conducive to the reasonable arrangement of each part, and achieves the effect of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the technical solution and beneficial effects of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be emphasized that these embodiments and drawings are merely some implementations of this utility model. Besides these, this utility model can have many other implementations, and any simple improvements or substitutions based on these embodiments or implementations will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0018] like Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the wire harness connector fixing assembly provided by this utility model includes a wire harness connector 2 and a matching wire harness connector fixing device 1. The wire harness connector fixing device 1 is formed together with the lamp housing 4 during injection molding. When in use, the wire harness connector 2 only needs to be inserted into the wire harness connector fixing device 1 on the lamp housing 4 to reliably fix the wire harness connector 2 on the lamp housing 4.

[0019] The structure of the wire harness connector fixing device 1 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes a mountain-shaped fixing device body 1-1. The fixing device body 1-1 includes a vertical connecting plate, upper and lower side plates, and a middle plate. The upper and lower ends of the vertical connecting plate are connected to the left ends of the upper and lower side plates, respectively. The middle plate is horizontally fixed to the right side of the vertical connecting plate and perpendicular to it. The middle plate, upper and lower side plates are arranged in a parallel layout. Of course, the wire harness connector fixing device 1 can also be rotated 90° so that its opening faces upward, towards, or towards the paper. Regardless of its arrangement, it does not affect its fixing method and fixing effect.

[0020] As a complementary item, such as Figure 2 As shown, two flexible locking feet 1-2 are provided on the right side of the vertical connecting plate. These two flexible locking feet 1-2 are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the middle plate and remain parallel to it. The claws at the right ends of the flexible locking feet 1-2 all face the middle plate, which facilitates locking the wire harness connector 2. The flexible locking feet 1-2 are made of elastically deformable plastic injection molding. When compressed, they can open slightly and return to their original shape when the external force is removed.

[0021] Positioning ribs c1-5 and d1-6 are staggered on the upper side panel. Positioning rib c1-5 is rod-shaped, extending perpendicularly to the upper side panel and suspended towards the center, located at the top layer. Positioning rib d1-6 is sheet-shaped, extending perpendicularly to the upper side panel and suspended towards the center, located in the middle layer. The lower side panel is symmetrical or mirror-image to the upper side panel, therefore it will not be repeated here.

[0022] A positioning rib a 1-3 is provided at the root (i.e., the left end) of the middle plate near the vertical connecting plate, and a positioning rib b 1-4 is provided at its other end (i.e., the outer right end). Positioning rib a 1-3 is located in the middle layer, and positioning rib b 1-4 is located in the bottom layer.

[0023] Through the above structural design, the positioning ribs b 1-4, c 1-5 and d 1-6 arranged in a staggered manner in the wire harness connector fixing device 1 form a positioning groove, which can restrict the movement of the wire harness connector 2 in the groove from the front-back, left-right and up-down directions. With the cooperation of the flexible locking foot 1-2 and the positioning rib a 1-3, the wire harness connector 2 that has slid into place can be locked.

[0024] The structure of wire harness connector 2 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, it mainly includes the connector body 2-1 and the connector limiting rib 2-2 at its front end, forming a groove between the two. The width of the connector limiting rib 2-2 is slightly larger than the width of the groove in the connector body 2-1, and slightly smaller than the distance between the claws at the ends of the flexible clamping feet 1-2.

[0025] The usage method of this wire harness connector fixing assembly is as follows: Figure 3-4 As shown, align the wire harness connector 2 with the right end of the wire harness connector fixing device 1 and forcefully insert it so that it slides into the groove. After sliding into place, the connector limiting rib 2-2 is engaged between the two flexible locking feet 1-2, and the left end face of the connector limiting rib 2-2 contacts and is pressed against the positioning rib a 1-3. The top of the wire harness connector 2 contacts and is pressed against the positioning rib c 1-5, the two sides of the wire harness connector 2 contact and are pressed against the positioning rib d 1-6, and the bottom surface of the wire harness connector 2 contacts and is pressed against the positioning rib b 1-4. The assembled wire harness connector is as follows. Figure 4 and 5 As shown.

[0026] When it is necessary to remove the wiring harness connector 2 from the lamp housing 4, simply pull it out forcefully. This design ensures that the wiring harness connector fixing component can be reused and is very easy to install and remove without the need for tools; it can be operated with one hand.
