Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a harness connector mounting structure. [Background technology]

[0002] In a vehicle, a connector is attached to the end of a harness used to connect electrical components, and the harnesses are connected to each other using this connector (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a harness connector) (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] In vehicles such as trucks, for example, a heater is provided to heat a urea tank that stores urea water (aqueous urea), and a harness is also used to supply power to this heater. The heater harness attached to the urea tank can be called a urea harness.

[0004] For example, the urea tank is attached to a side rail via a urea tank support bracket at either the right or left end of the vehicle, between the loading platform and the rear of the cab of a truck. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Special table 2024-527600 publication Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The urea harness may be routed out from the bottom of the urea tank, and the harness connector may be located at a position below the urea tank.

[0007] Therefore, there is a risk that the harness connector may be damaged by flying stones thrown by the truck's front wheels, or that the harness connector may be flooded with high-pressure water during a high-pressure car wash.

[0008] The present invention has been devised in light of these problems, and aims to provide a harness connector mounting structure that can protect the harness connector. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention has been made to solve at least part of the above problems, and can be realized as the following aspects or application examples.

[0010] The harness connector mounting structure according to this application example is a harness connector mounting structure for mounting a harness connector that connects multiple harnesses to a vehicle, and is formed as a plate-shaped member and has a connector mounting portion on a first surface of the plate-shaped member to which the harness connector is mounted, a fixing portion that fixes the connector mounting portion to the mounting destination, and a flange that stands on the first surface of the connector mounting portion.

[0011] According to this application example, for example, the connector mounting portion and the flange can block flying stones, high-pressure water during high-pressure car washing, and the like from reaching the harness connector, thereby preventing damage to the harness connector and protecting it.

[0012] In the harness connector mounting structure according to this application example, it is preferable that the fixing portion fixes the connector mounting portion to the mounting destination so that a second surface of the connector mounting portion opposite the first surface faces the outside of the vehicle.

[0013] In this case, the connector mounting portion can reliably protect the connector from foreign objects flying from outside the vehicle and from high-pressure water during high-pressure car washing.

[0014] In the harness connector mounting structure according to this application example, it is preferable that the flange be erected between the connector and the wheel at a position rearward of the wheel of the vehicle.

[0015] In this case, the flange can reliably protect the harness connector from flying stones and the like generated by the wheels when the vehicle is traveling.

[0016] In the harness connector mounting structure according to this application example, it is preferable that the fixing portion fixes the connector mounting portion at the same height as or approximately the same height as the frame of the vehicle.

[0017] In this case, the equipment mounted around the frame of the vehicle can block high-pressure water during a high-pressure car wash and flying stones that may occur while driving, thereby reliably protecting the harness connector. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] According to this invention, the harness connector can be protected. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is merely an example, and is not intended to exclude various modifications or application of techniques not explicitly described in the following embodiment. Each configuration of this embodiment can be implemented with various modifications within the scope of the spirit thereof. Furthermore, it is possible to select and / or combine as needed.

[0021] [1. Configuration] Figure 1 is a partial side view of a vehicle 1 to which one embodiment of a harness connector mounting structure is applied, Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the area around the urea tank 2 shown in Figure 1, Figure 3 is a view as viewed from the arrow B in Figure 2, and Figure 4 is a view as viewed from the arrow C in Figure 2.

[0022] 5 to 7 are diagrams illustrating examples of the harness connector 4, with FIG. 5 illustrating a male connector 4a, FIG. 6 illustrating a female connector 4b, and FIG. 7 illustrating a connector clip 4c.

[0023] 8 and 9 are diagrams illustrating the harness bracket 10. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the harness bracket 10, and Fig. 9 is a three-view diagram of the harness bracket 10, in which (A) is a front view, (B) is a side view, and (C) is a top view.

[0024] In Fig. 1, a urea tank 2 is disposed on the left side of a vehicle 1, and a urea harness 3a extending from below the tank 2 is fixed to a harness bracket 10 via a harness connector 4. In this embodiment, a truck will be used as an example of the vehicle 1. Hereinafter, the urea harness may be simply referred to as a harness.

[0025] In the following description, the forward direction of the vehicle 1 is referred to as the forward direction FR, and the opposite direction (the backward direction of the vehicle) is referred to as the backward direction RR. The left and right (left direction LH and right direction RH) are defined based on the state in which the vehicle is facing forward FR. The forward and backward direction is also referred to as the vehicle length direction, and the left and right direction is also referred to as the vehicle width direction. Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to both the vehicle length direction and the vehicle width direction is referred to as the up and down direction (upward direction UP and downward direction DN). The vehicle is assumed to be on a level road surface and to be in a position in which the up and down direction coincides with the vertical direction (the downward direction coincides with the direction of gravity). In this position, the vertically upward direction is referred to as the height direction.

[0026] In the example shown in FIG. 1, a urea tank 2 is attached to the left side of the vehicle 1 between the cab 1b and the loading platform 1c of the vehicle 1.

[0027] 2 and 3, a urea tank mounting base 6d is attached to the left side surface (web surface) of the side rail 1a, and the urea tank 2 is fixed to this urea tank mounting base 6d by urea tank support brackets 6a and 6b. In other words, the urea tank 2 is attached to the side rail (frame) 1a via the urea tank mounting base 6d and the urea tank support brackets 6a and 6b.

[0028] The urea tank support bracket 6a, for example, holds the urea tank 2 so as to surround it from all directions except from above and the left side of the vehicle 1 (upward on the paper in Figure 1), and fixes the urea tank 2 to the side rail 1a by being fixed to the urea tank mounting base 6d on a vertical plane (right side) along the fore-and-aft direction.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 3, the urea tank support bracket 6b overlaps with at least a portion of the urea tank support bracket 6a (for example, a portion of the front and rear surfaces of the urea tank support bracket 6a) and supports the urea tank 2 together with the urea tank support bracket 6a. Above the urea tank 2, a urea tank holding bracket 6c is disposed substantially horizontally, straddling the urea tank 2. This urea tank holding bracket 6c is fixed to each of the urea tank support brackets 6b located on both sides of the urea tank 2 via a bridge 6e. The bridge 6e is fixed to the urea tank support bracket 6b with bolts 6f. As a result, the urea tank holding bracket 6c secures the urea tank 2 from above.

[0030] In this embodiment, an example is shown in which a harness connector 4 that connects a harness 3a and a harness 3b (see FIG. 5) drawn out from the bottom of a urea tank 2 is fixed to a vehicle 1 by a harness bracket 10. The harness 3b and the harness 3a are examples of multiple harnesses.

[0031] The bolts 6f at the front of the vehicle that secure the bridge 6e to the urea tank support bracket 6b also fasten the harness bracket 10 together with the bridge 6e. That is, the harness bracket 10 is fixed to a surface of the urea tank support bracket 6b that is formed as a vertical plane extending in the vehicle width direction. The connector 4 is then attached to this harness bracket 10.

[0032] That is, the harness bracket 10 of the harness connector mounting structure according to this embodiment shows an example in which the connector 4 is fixed to the urea tank support bracket 6b of the urea tank 2 arranged on the left side of the vehicle 1. In particular, the harness bracket 10 is shown as being arranged in front of the urea tank 2.

[0033] The connector 4 has a male connector 4a and a female connector 4b. As shown in Fig. 5, the male connector 4a is attached to one end of the harness 3b and has an insertion portion 41. As shown in Fig. 6, the female connector 4b is attached to one end of the harness 3a and has an insertion opening 42. By inserting the insertion portion 41 of the male connector 4a into the insertion opening 42 of the female connector 4b, the harness 3b and the harness 3a are connected and become electrically connected.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 7, a connector clip 4c is detachably attached to the female connector 4b.

[0035] The connector clip 4c is made of an elastic member and has a clip base portion 47 connected to the female connector 4b, and a protrusion 46 protruding from the clip base portion 47 in the opposite direction to the female connector 4b.

[0036] In the connector clip 4c, the side of the clip base portion 47 to which the female connector 4b is connected may be referred to as the front side, and the side of the clip base portion 47 on which the protrusion 46 is formed may be referred to as the back side.

[0037] The clip base portion 47 has a plate-shaped pillar base portion 49 that is perpendicular to a pillar portion 48 of the protrusion portion 46, which will be described later, and the protrusion portion 46 is fixed to the back surface of this pillar base portion 49. Specifically, the pillar portion 48 of the protrusion portion 46 stands vertically from this pillar base portion 49 toward the back side.

[0038] In the column base 49, support arms 44 are formed at multiple positions (two in the example shown in FIG. 7) facing each other across the column base 49. The support arms 44 are inclined so as to move toward the back side (the protruding direction of the protrusion 46) as they move away from the column base 49. A cylindrical tip portion 45 is formed at the end of the support arm 44 opposite the column base 49. The central axis of the tip portion 45 is perpendicular to the protruding direction of the column portion 48 from the column base 49. The distance (furthest distance) between the farthest parts of the two insertion arms 43 of the protrusion 46 can be said to be the outer diameter of the protrusion 46.

[0039] The protrusion 46 has a columnar pillar 48 that protrudes from the rear surface of the clip base 47 toward the rear side, and multiple (two in the example shown in Figure 7) insertion arms 43 attached to the end of the rear side of the pillar 48 (opposite the clip base 47).

[0040] The two insertion arms 43 protrude obliquely from opposite positions on the rear end of the pillar 48, sandwiching the pillar 48 between them, toward the front side and away from the pillar 48. This gives the protrusion 46 an arrowhead shape with its tip at the rear end of the pillar 48.

[0041] As described above, since the connector clip 4c is formed from an elastic material, by pressing each of the two insertion arms 43 at the protrusion 46 toward a clip insertion hole 14 (described later) of the harness bracket 10, the insertion arms 43 are deformed, and the outer diameter of the protrusion 46 is reduced. Furthermore, by releasing the pressure on the insertion arms 43, the deformation of the insertion arms 43 is eliminated, and the outer diameter of the protrusion 46 returns to its original size.

[0042] The connector clip 4c is inserted into a clip insertion hole 14 formed in the harness bracket 10 (see FIGS. 8 and 9(B)).

[0043] In the example shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the harness bracket 10 has a harness fixing portion 12 in the form of a rectangular plate.

[0044] A flange 13 perpendicular to the harness fixing portion 12 protrudes along one long side of the harness fixing portion 12. The flange 13 may be formed by bending an edge of one long side of the harness fixing portion 12.

[0045] The side of the harness fixing portion 12 from which the flange 13 protrudes may be referred to as the inside of the harness bracket 10, and the opposite side may be referred to as the outside of the harness bracket 10. The inside surface of the harness fixing portion 12 is referred to as the inner surface 12a, and the outside surface is referred to as the outer surface 12b. The harness fixing portion 12 is an example of a connector mounting portion, and the inner surface 12a is an example of a first surface of a plate-like member.

[0046] The flange 13 is erected inward on an inner surface 12a (first surface) of the harness fixing portion 12 (connector mounting portion).

[0047] Additionally, on the long side of the harness fixing portion 12 opposite the side where the flange 13 is formed, a plate-shaped tank fixing portion 11 stands upright inward, parallel to the flange 13. The tank fixing portion 11 may be formed by bending the edge of the long side of the harness fixing portion 12 opposite the side where the flange 13 is formed. One or more bolt holes 11a (two in the example shown in Figures 8 and 9) are formed in the tank fixing portion 11. By passing the bolts 6f (see Figure 3) that fix the bridge 6e to the urea tank support bracket 6b through these bolt holes 11a, the tank fixing portion 11 (harness bracket 10) is fastened together with the bridge 6e.

[0048] The tank fixing portion 11 is an example of a fixing portion that fixes the harness fixing portion 12 (connector mounting portion) to the urea tank support bracket 6b (mounting destination).

[0049] Further, a clip insertion hole 14 is formed in the harness fixing portion 12. In the example shown in Fig. 9(B), a circular clip insertion hole 14 is shown.

[0050] The diameter of the clip insertion hole 14 is smaller than the outer diameter of the protrusion 46 when the insertion arm 43 is not pressed, and is larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion 46 when the insertion arm 43 is pressed.

[0051] By pressing the insertion arm 43 against the clip insertion hole 14, the outer diameter of the protrusion 46 becomes smaller, and the protrusion 46 becomes insertable into the clip insertion hole 14 of the harness bracket 10. As described above, the protrusion 46 (insertion arm 43) has an arrowhead shape with a small outer diameter on the front side, so by pressing the protrusion against the clip insertion hole 14, the insertion arm 43 is pressed and deformed so that its outer diameter becomes smaller.

[0052] In the harness bracket 10, the protrusion 46 of the connector clip 4c fixed to the female connector 4b is inserted into the clip insertion hole 14 from the inner surface 12a of the harness fixing portion 12.

[0053] When the insertion arm 43 inserted into the clip insertion hole 14 passes through the clip insertion hole 14 and penetrates the harness fixing part 12 and emerges on the outer surface 12b, the pressure on the insertion arm 43 is released and the outer diameter of the protrusion 46 expands, preventing the insertion arm 43 from slipping out of the clip insertion hole 14. In other words, the insertion arm 43 is fixed to the outer surface 12b of the harness fixing part 12.

[0054] In this state, the tip 45 of the support arm 44 is pressed against the inner surface 12a of the harness fixing portion 12. As a result, the harness fixing portion 12 is clamped between the insertion arm 43 and the tip 45 of the support arm 44. This fixes the connector clip 4c to the harness fixing portion 12. The female connector 4b to which the connector clip 4c is attached is also fixed to the harness bracket 10.

[0055] The harness fixing portion 12 is an example of a connector mounting portion formed as a plate-like member, and the harness connector 4 is mounted on an inner surface 12a (first surface) of the plate-like member.

[0056] By elastically deforming the insertion arm 43 in the connector clip 4c, the protrusion 46 can be freely inserted and removed from the clip insertion hole 14 of the harness fixing portion 12, and as a result, the female connector 4b can be freely attached and detached to the harness bracket 10 using the connector clip 4c.

[0057] Furthermore, in the harness bracket 10, it is desirable that the distance between the clip insertion hole 14 and the flange 13 is a length that allows the tip 45 of the support arm 44 to abut or nearly abut the inside of the flange 13 when the protrusion 46 of the connector clip 4c is inserted into the clip insertion hole 14.

[0058] As a result, when the connector clip 4c is fixed to the harness fixing portion 12, the tip portion 45 of the support arm 44 abuts against the inner surface 12a or the flange 13, thereby preventing the connector clip 4c from rotating within the clip insertion hole 14.

[0059] [2. Actions and Effects] The worker fixes the harness bracket 10 to the urea tank support bracket 6b. Specifically, the bolt 6f (see FIG. 3) that fixes the bridge 6e to the urea tank support bracket 6b is passed through the bolt hole 11a of the tank fixing portion 11 to fix it. That is, the tank fixing portion 11 (harness bracket 10) and the bridge 6e are fastened together using the bolt 6f. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the harness bracket 10 is positioned with the outer surface 12b of the harness fixing portion 12 facing outward on the left side of the vehicle 1.

[0060] The tank fixing portion 11 (fixing portion) fixes the harness fixing portion 12 (connector fixing portion) to the urea tank support bracket 6b (mounting destination) so that the outer surface 12b (second surface opposite to the first surface) of the harness fixing portion 12 (connector mounting portion) faces the outside of the vehicle 1. The inner surface 12a of the harness fixing portion 12 is disposed facing the side rail 1a. The flange 13 is erected between the connector 4 and the front wheel at a position rearward of the wheel (front wheel in this embodiment) of the vehicle 1.

[0061] Next, the worker inserts the protrusion 46 of the connector clip 4c of the female connector 4b into the clip insertion hole 14 formed in the harness fixing portion 12 of the harness bracket 10 from inside the harness bracket 10. As a result, the harness fixing portion 12 is clamped between the insertion arm 43 of the connector clip 4c and the tip end 45 of the support arm 44, and the connector clip 4c is fixed to the inner surface 12a of the harness fixing portion 12.

[0062] The worker connects the harnesses 3a and 3b by inserting the insertion portion 41 of the male connector 4a into the insertion port 42 of the female connector 4b, thereby establishing electrical continuity between the harnesses 3a and 3b. Alternatively, the worker may first connect the harnesses 3a and 3b and then fix the connector clip 4c to the harness fixing portion 12.

[0063] Thus, in the harness connector mounting structure according to one embodiment, the harness bracket 10 that secures the connector 4 is fastened together with the bridge 6e to which the urea tank holding bracket 6c is fixed. This allows the connector 4 to be fixed at approximately the same height as the urea tank 2, i.e., at approximately the same height as the side rail 1a. It can be said that the harness fixing portion 12 (fixing portion) fixes the harness fixing portion 12 (connector mounting portion) at the same or approximately the same height as the side rail 1a (frame) of the vehicle 1.

[0064] In addition, in front of the urea tank 2 in the vehicle 1, for example, as shown in Figure 1, parts such as a side monitoring sensor 5 may be placed at approximately the same height as the side rail 1a, and by raising the mounting position of the connector 4 to approximately the same height as the side rail 1a, these parts can block flying stones and the like caused by the front wheels of the truck, thereby preventing damage to the connector 4.

[0065] In addition, by fixing the connector 4 at approximately the same height as the urea tank 2 and the side rail 1a, the equipment mounted around the side rail 1a of the vehicle 1 can block high-pressure water during high-pressure car washing, thereby preventing water from entering the connector 4.

[0066] The outer surface 12b of the harness fixing part 12 is arranged facing outward to the left of the vehicle 1, and the connector 4 is fixed to the inner surface 12a of the harness fixing part 12. As a result, even when high-pressure water is sprayed from the side (left side) of the vehicle 1 during a high-pressure car wash, for example, the outer surface 12b of the harness fixing part 12 blocks the high-pressure water, preventing the high-pressure water from directly hitting the connector 4 and preventing the connector 4 from becoming waterlogged.

[0067] In addition, in the harness bracket 10, the flange 13 is erected facing inward at a position forward of the connector 4 attached to the inner surface 12a of the harness fixing portion 12, so that the flange 13 and the outer surface 12b can block foreign objects and water flying in from the front, thereby protecting the connector 4 from these foreign objects, etc.

[0068] In addition, in the harness bracket 10, when the protrusion 46 of the connector clip 4c is inserted into the clip insertion hole 14, the distance between the clip insertion hole 14 and the flange 13 is adjusted so that the tip 45 of the support arm 44 abuts against the inside of the flange 13, thereby preventing the connector clip 4c from rotating within the clip insertion hole 14, and allowing the harness 3 to be stably attached to the vehicle 1.

[0069] [3. Other] The configuration of the harness connector mounting structure shown in the above embodiment is an example. For example, in the above embodiment, the harness bracket 10 is mounted to the urea tank support bracket 6b in front of the urea tank 2 located on the left side of the vehicle 1, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0070] For example, the urea tank 2 may be disposed on the right side of the vehicle 1, and the harness bracket 10 may be disposed behind the urea tank 2 (on the RR side of the urea tank 2 in FIG. 2).

[0071] In these cases, it is desirable to use a harness bracket 10 in which the positions of the flange 13 and the tank fixing portion 11 are interchanged, instead of the harness bracket 10 illustrated in Figures 8 and 9. In other words, it is desirable to appropriately change the shape of the tank fixing portion 11 depending on the mounting position of the harness bracket 10.

[0072] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the harness bracket 10 is fixed to a surface of the urea tank support bracket 6b that is formed as a vertical plane along the vehicle width direction, but this is not limited to this. For example, the harness bracket 10 may be fixed to a surface that is formed as a vertical plane along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1, or may be fixed to another surface, and various modifications can be made. In these cases, it is desirable to appropriately change the angle of the tank fixing portion 11 relative to the harness fixing portion 12 in the harness bracket 10.

[0073] In the above-described embodiment, the tank fixing portion 11 (harness bracket 10) and the bridge 6e are fastened together using the bolt 6f to fix the harness bracket 10 to the vehicle, but this is not limited to this. The tank fixing portion 11 may be fixed to the vehicle by other methods. Furthermore, the harness bracket 10 may be attached near a component other than the urea tank 2.

[0074] The shape of the connector clip 4c is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 7. For example, the shape of the protrusion 46 can be modified as appropriate. For example, three or more insertion arms 43 may be provided, and various modifications are possible, such as arranging three or more insertion arms 43 radially from the tip on the back side of the pillar portion 48 as the center.

[0075] The shape of the clip base portion 47 can also be modified as appropriate. For example, three or more support arms 44 may be provided, or three or more support arms 44 may be arranged radially from the pillar base portion 49, or various other modifications can be made.

[0076] 7, the connector clip 4c is attached to the female connector 4b, but this is not limiting. The connector clip 4c may be attached to the male connector 4a, and appropriate modifications can be made.

[0077] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the harnesses 3a and 3b are urea harnesses, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be harnesses used for other purposes.
