Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a band cable, and more specifically, to a wiring fixing band cable having a new structure of a rotatable anchor in which a rotatable anchor is inserted so as to be movably toward a vehicle body mounting hole. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, wiring is used in automobiles and various electrical devices for the exchange of electrical signals and power connection.

[0004] In particular, automotive wiring connects the battery with various electrical components and the controller with various electrical components, and is installed hidden within the vehicle body.

[0005] The above wiring may become dislodged from its proper position due to body vibrations and sagging caused by its own weight while driving, and furthermore, it may be damaged due to frictional contact with the vehicle body and surrounding parts, and eventually, the dislodgment and damage of the wiring may even lead to a situation where the electrical components become unable to operate.

[0006] Therefore, automotive wiring must be securely fastened to the vehicle body using band cables or clips.

[0007] Here, the conventional band cable for fixing wiring and the method of using it are as follows.

[0008] Figure 1 attached is a perspective view showing the unfolded state of a conventional wiring fixing band cable, Figures 2a and 2b are a perspective view and a cross-sectional view showing the state in which the conventional wiring fixing band cable primarily fixes the wiring, and Figures 3a to 3c are perspective views showing the usage state of a conventional wiring fixing band cable.

[0009] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a conventional band cable for fixing wiring comprises a locking block (20) having a locking hole (22), a band (10) of a predetermined length formed integrally on one side of the locking block (20), and a clip-shaped anchor (30) formed integrally on the other side of the locking block (20).

[0010] At this time, a tooth for locking is formed on one surface of the band (10), and a restraining projection for restraining the tooth is formed in the locking hole (22) of the locking block (20).

[0011] Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, after wrapping the wiring (40) with the band (10), the band (10) is inserted and fastened into the locking hole (22) of the locking block (20), thereby the wiring (40) is primarily fixed.

[0012] Next, as shown in FIG. 3a, the anchor (30) integrated with the locking block (20) is inserted and fastened into the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50), thereby allowing the wiring (40) to be fixed to the vehicle body together with the band cable.

[0013] However, conventional band cables for fixing wiring have the following problems.

[0014] First, when the anchor (30) integrated with the locking block (20) is arranged in a state that aligns with the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50), as shown in FIG. 3a, the anchor (30) can be easily inserted and secured into the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50). However, as shown in FIG. 3b, when the anchor (30) is arranged in a position away from the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50), the anchor (30) cannot be inserted and secured into the mounting hole (52), and consequently, there is a problem in that the wiring cannot be fixed to the vehicle body.

[0015] Furthermore, since the band (10) is in a state of close contact while wrapping around the wiring (40), the band cable itself cannot be rotated as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 3b, and consequently, due to the mismatch between the anchor (30) and the mounting hole (52), assembly work for fixing the wiring to the vehicle body becomes impossible.

[0016] Second, a method is used in which the band (10) is loosely fastened to the wiring (30) to rotate the direction of the band cable and anchor, and knitted pads (60) that are in close contact with the surface of the wiring (30) are placed on both sides of the band (10) to prevent the band cable from moving left and right and coming off, as shown in FIG. 3c.

[0017] Accordingly, since the band (10) is loosely fastened to the wiring (30), even if the anchor (30) and the mounting hole (52) are misaligned, the anchor (30) can be easily rotated to the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50) to align them, and the wiring can be easily fixed to the vehicle body.

[0018] However, since the above band (10) is loosely connected to the wiring (30), there is a possibility that the wiring (30) may be damaged as it repeatedly moves due to vehicle driving vibrations, and in particular, problems such as increased cost and reduced assembly workability arise from using a separate knitted pad (60) to secure the wiring. The problem to be solved

[0020] The present invention has been devised to solve the aforementioned problems of the conventional methods, and aims to provide a band cable for fixing wiring having a rotary anchor that allows various wirings of a vehicle to be easily fixed to the vehicle body by inserting a rotary anchor of a separate shape into the band cable so as to be movably inserted, freely moving the rotary anchor toward a mounting hole formed in the vehicle body to align it, and then accurately inserting and fastening the rotary anchor into the mounting hole of the vehicle body. means of solving the problem

[0022] To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a wiring fixing band cable having a rotatable anchor, characterized by comprising: a locking block having a first locking hole and a second locking hole formed therein; a first band of a predetermined length formed integrally with the locking block and inserted and secured into the first locking hole after wrapping the wiring; a second band formed integrally with the rear end of the first band and inserted and secured into the second locking hole; and a rotatable anchor inserted into the second band so as to be movable toward a mounting hole of the vehicle body.

[0023] It is characterized by having a foldable section formed between the lower end of one side of the locking block and the rear end of the first band.

[0024] Preferably, a plurality of strip protrusions are formed on one surface of the folded end to adhere to the surface of the wiring, and are characterized by being formed with a height that gradually decreases toward the first band.

[0025] More preferably, the boundary portion between the folding portion and the first band is characterized by having a first chamfer formed therein to induce folding of the folding portion.

[0026] The rear end of the second band is characterized by having a spacing member formed integrally and perpendicular to the first band to maintain the spacing between the first band and the second band.

[0027] In particular, the rotary anchor is characterized by comprising: a guide block having a guide hole into which the second band is inserted; and a clip portion integrally formed with the guide block and inserted and fastened into a mounting hole of the vehicle body.

[0028] Preferably, the guide hole inlet and outlet portions of the guide block are characterized by having round guide surfaces formed thereon for the smooth movement of the rotary anchor.

[0029] In addition, the shear ends of the first and second bands are characterized by having a second chamfer formed along the thickness direction and width direction, respectively, for smooth insertion into the first locking hole and the second locking hole. Effects of the invention

[0031] Through the means for solving the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides the following effects.

[0032] First, the wiring is wrapped with a first band and secured to the locking block in the first step, and a separate rotary anchor is inserted into the second band and secured to the locking block in the second step. Then, the rotary anchor is freely moved toward the mounting hole formed in the vehicle body to align it, and the rotary anchor is easily inserted and fastened into the vehicle body mounting hole, thereby allowing various wirings of the vehicle to be securely fixed to the vehicle body.

[0033] Second, even if the rotary anchor inserted into the band and the mounting hole formed in the vehicle body are misaligned, the rotary anchor can be rotated toward the mounting hole to accurately align the rotary anchor and the mounting hole, making the assembly work for securing the wiring to the vehicle body very easy.

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0036] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] FIG. 4 attached is an exploded perspective view illustrating a band cable for fixing wiring having a rotatable anchor according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a side view illustrating a band cable for fixing wiring having a rotatable anchor according to the present invention, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are a perspective view and a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a band cable for fixing wiring having a rotatable anchor according to the present invention is fastened to wiring, and in each drawing, reference numeral 100 indicates a locking block.

[0038] The above locking block (100) is provided with a structure in which a first locking hole (101) and a second locking hole (102) are formed, into which a first band (110) and a second band (120) are respectively inserted and fastened.

[0039] On one side of the locking block (100), a first band (110) of a predetermined length is integrally formed, which wraps around and adheres to the wiring (40) and is then inserted and fastened into the first locking hole (101).

[0040] In addition, a second band (120) of a predetermined length is integrally formed at the rear end of the first band (110), which is inserted and secured into the second locking hole (102) while a rotatable anchor (200) is movably inserted therein.

[0041] At this time, a spacing member (122) is formed at the rear end of the second band (120) and is integrally connected to the first band (110) in a perpendicular manner to maintain a constant spacing between the first band (110) and the second band (120), so that a rotatable anchor (200) inserted into the second band (120) can easily move along the second band (120) without interference.

[0042] Preferably, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 7, a second chamfer (136) is formed along the thickness direction and width direction at the front end of the first band (110) and the second band (120) so that the first band (110) and the second band (120) can be smoothly inserted and passed through the first locking hole (101) and the second locking hole (102), respectively.

[0043] In particular, the rotary anchor (200) is inserted so as to be movable toward the mounting hole of the vehicle body with respect to the second band (120), and is composed of a guide block (210) having a guide hole (212) through which the second band (20) is inserted and penetrated, and a clip part (220) integrally formed at the lower part of the guide block (210) and inserted and fastened into the mounting hole of the vehicle body.

[0044] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 8, a guide surface (214) is formed in a rounded shape at the inlet and outlet corners of the guide hole (212) of the guide block (210) to facilitate smooth rotational movement of the rotary anchor (200).

[0045] In addition, the clip portion (220) of the rotary anchor (200) may be provided with a structure that is inserted and fastened into a single-hole type body mounting hole as shown in FIG. 1, or a structure that is inserted and fastened into a long-hole type body mounting hole.

[0046] Meanwhile, a folding section (130) is formed between the lower end of one side of the locking block (100) and the rear end of the first band (110) to facilitate smooth folding of the first band (110) and smooth contact with the wiring (40).

[0047] Preferably, on one surface of the folding section (130), as can be clearly seen in FIG. 6, a plurality of strip protrusions (132) are formed that adhere to the surface of the wiring (40), and each of the strip protrusions (132) is formed with a height that gradually decreases toward the first band (110) so that one surface of the folding section (130) adheres easily to the curved surface of the wiring (40).

[0048] More preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, a first chamfer (134) is formed at the boundary between the folding section (130) and the first band (110) so that the folding section (130) folds more smoothly with respect to the surface of the wiring (40).

[0049] Here, the method of fixing wiring using the wiring fixing band cable having a rotary anchor of the present invention, which is configured as described above, is as follows.

[0050] Figure 11 attached is a perspective view illustrating the operation of aligning a rotatable anchor of a wiring fixing band cable according to the present invention with a mounting hole in a vehicle body and fastening it.

[0051] First, the wiring (40) is wrapped with the first band (110), and then the tip of the first band (110) is inserted and fastened into the first locking hole (101) of the locking block (100), so that the wiring (40) is primarily fixed by the first band (110) as shown in FIGS. 9 and FIGS. 10.

[0052] Next, with the rotary anchor (200) inserted into the second band (120), the tip of the second band (120) is inserted and fastened into the second locking hole (102) of the locking block (100), so that the rotary anchor (200) is arranged to be movable along the second band (120) as shown in FIG. 10.

[0053] At this time, a tooth for locking is formed on one surface of the first and second bands (110, 120), and a restraining projection that restrains the tooth is formed within the first and second locking holes (101, 102) of the locking block (100), so that the combined state of the first and second bands (110, 120) with respect to the locking block (100) can be easily maintained.

[0054] Next, if the clip portion (220) of the rotary anchor (200) is misaligned with the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50), the rotary anchor (200) is rotated toward the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50) as shown in FIG. 11.

[0055] More specifically, since the second band (120) is inserted through the guide hole (212) formed in the guide block (210) of the rotary anchor (200), the rotary anchor (200) can be easily rotated along the second band (120) toward the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50).

[0056] Accordingly, the rotary anchor (200) is moved to a position that aligns with the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50), and the clip part (220) is pressed into the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50), thereby the wiring fixing band cable of the present invention is fixed to the vehicle body, and consequently, the wiring (40) that is primarily fixed by the first band (110) is firmly fixed to the vehicle body.

[0057] In this way, the wiring (40) is wrapped with the first band (110) and fixed in the first step, then the rotary anchor (200) is freely moved toward the mounting hole (52) formed in the vehicle body (50) and aligned, and then the clip portion (220) of the rotary anchor (200) can be easily inserted and fastened into the mounting hole (52), thereby allowing various wirings of the vehicle to be firmly fixed to the vehicle body.

[0058] Furthermore, even if the rotary anchor (200) inserted into the second band (120) and the mounting hole (52) formed in the vehicle body (50) are misaligned, the rotary anchor (200) can be rotated toward the mounting hole (52) of the vehicle body (50) to accurately align the clip portion (220) of the rotary anchor (200) with the mounting hole (52), so that the assembly work for fixing the wiring to the vehicle body can be performed very easily.

[0059] Although the present invention has been described in detail above as one embodiment, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and improvements by those skilled in the art using the basic concept of the present invention as defined in the following claims are also included within the scope of the present invention.
