Specific embodiment
It is described below and is merely exemplary in itself and is not intended to limit the disclosure, its application or purposes.It should be understood that Throughout the drawings, corresponding reference number shows similar or corresponding part and feature.As used in this article, term module Refer to process circuit, may include specific integrated circuit (ASIC), electronic circuit, executes one or more softwares or firmware journey The processor (shared, dedicated or group) and memory of sequence, combinational logic circuit and/or provide described function its His suitable component.
Vehicle 10 accoding to exemplary embodiment is schematically illustrated in Fig. 1.Vehicle 10 includes support dynamical system 14 vehicle body 12.Dynamical system 14 includes prime mover 16, such as motor, hybrid power type engine or internal combustion engine.? In the embodiment of Fig. 1, power is transmitted from prime mover 16, by speed changer 18, and is transmitted to transfer case 20.First drive shaft 22 can It is operably connected to transfer case 20, and extends to first via the first differential mechanism 26 or other devices in some embodiments Wheel shaft 24 is simultaneously connected thereto.First wheel shaft 24 transfers power to one or more first wheels 28.Similarly, in some implementations In example, transfer case 20 is connected to the second drive shaft 30 to transfer power to the second wheel shaft 32, with driving one or more second Wheel 34.In some embodiments, the second drive shaft 30 is connected to the second wheel shaft 32 via the second differential mechanism 35.In the reality of Fig. 1 It applies in example, power is transmitted from prime mover 10, by speed changer 14, and is transmitted to transfer case 28.However, those skilled in the art will It is readily appreciated that, the disclosure can be applied similarly to the vehicle with other powertrain arrangements, such as with driving the first wheel 28 or second wheel 34 two-wheel drive dynamical system vehicle.
Vehicle 10 further comprises one or more driving members 36, or the component 36 including providing it electric signal. Component 36 connect with power supply (not shown) via one or more harness 38 and/or interconnects with other component 36.Referring now to figure 2, illustrate the plan view of 38 device of exemplary wiring harness.The harness 38 shown is arranged at the floor panel 70 of vehicle 10, But the person skilled in the art will easily understand the disclosure can be used at the other parts of vehicle being fixed on body panel 38 device of harness, including but not limited to roof, instrument board, engine room, luggage case etc..Although in addition, in the back of vehicle 10 Embodiment of the disclosure is described under scape, but the theme of the disclosure can be used in other application.
Referring again to FIGS. 2, harness 38 includes the harness section 40 of multiple modular constructions.Each harness section 40 defines harness 38 a part, and component 36 and/or other harness sections 40 are connected to via connector 42.Connector 42 can have such as figure Straight configuration shown in 2, or can have other configurations, such as X-shaped or Fig. 5 shown in T shape, Fig. 4 shown in Fig. 3 Shown in L shape.Harness section 40 is used together 38 structure of generation module harness with connector 42.It should be understood that Fig. 3-5 Shown in connector 42 be only exemplary, and be expected the shape of other connectors 42 within the scope of this disclosure and match It sets.
Referring now to the section view of Fig. 6, harness section 40 includes the multiple conducting wires being at least partially enclosed in shell 46 44.Shell 46 has selected cross sectional shape, can be constant along the length of harness section 40, or in some embodiments In can change along the length of harness section 40.Multiple conducting wires 44 extend along the length of harness section 40.Shell 46 can be by for example Thermoplastic polymer is formed, such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) (ABS) or polycarbonate (PC) material.In some embodiments In, shell 46 and multiple conducting wires 44 are co-molded to close multiple conducting wires 44, to form harness section 40.In some embodiments In, shell 46 is electrical isolation, so that being not required around the supplemental dielectric layer of conducting wire 44.Additionally or alternatively, at other In embodiment, shell 46 is configured to waterproof or moisture-proof.In other embodiments, harness section 40 can be via increasing material manufacturing Technique is formed.More specifically, in some embodiments, shell 46 and multiple conducting wires 44 can pass through increasing material manufacturing together shape At, and in other embodiments, shell 46 can be formed by increasing material manufacturing technique around multiple conducting wires 44.
As shown in fig. 6, in some embodiments, harness section 40 may include the conducting wire 44 with different cross section size.? In some embodiments, it is 0.1mm to 10mm that sectional dimension, which can be such as width or diameter, and in other embodiments, section Size can be in 1.0mm between 3.0mm.The person skilled in the art will easily understand the sectional dimension for including herein is only It is exemplary, and other sectional dimensions of conducting wire 44 can be used according to such as system needs or demand.
Harness section 40 can have the cross section of Integral rectangular, as shown in Figure 6, or as in the embodiment depicted in figure 7 In, harness section 40 can have profile or other shapes when being formed to be adapted to fit space.For example, in the example of figure 7, Harness section 40 is mounted at the rocker passage 50 of vehicle 10, and the housing upper surface 52 including substantially flat and it is inclined or Curved housing lower surface 54, to be matched substantially with channel lower surface 56.Rocker arm cover 58 can be used for for harness section 40 being enclosed in In rocker passage 50.This consistency of the rocker passage 50 of the cross sectional shape and installation wiring section 40 of harness section 40 is more effectively Harness section 40 is encapsulated into the available space in rocker passage 50, and so as to cause rocker passage 50 depth and/ Or the height of step reduces to enter and/or leave vehicle 10.
In some embodiments, such as shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, harness section 40 can be with one for fixed beam section 40 A or multiple securing feature parts are formed together.For example, as shown in Figure 8, one or more flanges 60 can be formed in shell 46 In.Flange 60 may include flange open 62, and one or more fasteners 64 (such as screw or clip) are installed by flange open, with Harness section 40 is fixed on the appropriate location in vehicle 10.Additionally or alternatively, schematically shown in Figure 9, such as The one or more fasteners 64 for pushing away folder etc are molded into shell 46, for being mounted directly in vehicle 10 with by harness section 40 are secured in position.
Manufacturing process is simplified via the modular construction for using harness section 40 and connector 42 to carry out harness 38, so that line Beam 38 can be consistently placed in vehicle 10.In addition, modular construction reduces materials'use, including due to via using shell Body 46 and more accurately place conducting wire 44 and reduce the use of the copper for more electric wires 44.In addition, dimensional accuracy and space Utilization rate is improved, vehicle space needed for allowing to increase wire density in given space and/or reduce installation wiring 38.
