Wire harness clamp preassembling module

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the field of wire harness fixture preassembling, in particular to a wire harness fixture preassembling module in the field of automobiles.

Background

Wire harnesses are widely used in various industries including the automotive industry. Existing automotive wiring harnesses, such as wiring harnesses for OPF particle capture sensors, require the wiring harness to be assembled to the corresponding portion of the vehicle body after production using clamps or snaps. For example, when assembling the OPF sensor harness, the jig is manually tied, five ties are generally required for the OPF sensor to tie up the harness one by one, and then the harness is clamped to the underbody by the clamping portion of the harness jig. However, this approach often results in inaccurate spacing of the belts on the wire harness, which can result in difficult installation of the wire harness on the vehicle body, and the disassembly of the wire harness results in wasted clamps. In addition, each clamp is installed and positioned on line one by one, which is a repeated tiring and time-consuming work for operators, especially in high-station installation.

The wire harness clip preassembling module according to the present utility model will be described in more detail below. Referring first to fig. 1, taking a wire harness for an OPF particle capturing sensor to be inserted into an automobile exhaust pipe as an example, a wire harness jig preassembling module 1 for preassembling such a wire harness includes a preassembling work portion including: a base plate 2; two slides 3, 4 arranged in parallel on the bottom plate 2 along the length of the bottom plate 2; five clamping blocks 5-9 are arranged on the two slides 3, 4 at a set distance from each other. Each of the holder blocks 5-9 is provided at the respective top with a clamping groove to receive a harness clamp.

Here, the two parallel runners 3, 4 are in the form of two runners running through the thickness of the floor 2 and arranged along the length of the floor 2. In this connection, reference is made in particular to fig. 5, which shows the removal of the individual clamping blocks and harness blocks mounted on the two slide slots in relation to fig. 1.

The arrangement intervals between the holder blocks 5-9 are set according to the needs, and can be identical or partially identical with each other, or can be completely different or partially different. These clamping blocks are arranged on a slideway, here a runner, which facilitates the adjustment of the spacing between them.

In these clamping blocks, the corresponding clamping grooves can be of different types, for example, the clamping grooves can be arranged in a round shape, an oval shape, an elongated shape or a rectangular shape, etc., so as to clamp different wire harness clamps, in particular clamping parts of the wire harness clamps, through form fit. For example, as can be seen in fig. 1, in the five clamping blocks 5-9, the clamping grooves 5 and 6 are of the same type, the clamping grooves are of the same type, while the clamping grooves 7, 8, 9 are of different types, respectively, and are of different types from the clamping grooves 5 and 6.

Generally, a wire harness clamp includes a clamping portion for clamping into a clamping hole of a vehicle body such as a sheet metal, and a binding portion such as a tie for binding the wire harness. For example, fig. 6 schematically illustrates one of the harness clips that may be adapted for use with one of the clip blocks of the harness clip preassembly module according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, such a harness clip includes a clip portion 20 and a ligature portion, here a ligature 21.

The clamping groove in the clamping block is designed to be suitable for clamping and receiving the clamping part of the wire harness clamp through a shape fit. Such a clip portion is also used for later clipping into a vehicle body clip hole when the wire harness is mounted to the vehicle body.

It is noted here that in fig. 1, which is an example of an OPF particle capture sensor harness, four kinds of five holder blocks 5-9 as described above with differently shaped clamping grooves are shown. However, according to actual needs, one or more clamping groove type clamping seat blocks, even other different clamping groove type clamping seat blocks, can be selected, the spacing between the clamping seat blocks can be set according to the vehicle body parts to be arranged as described above, and even the number of the clamping seat blocks can be adjusted according to needs.

In particular, fig. 2 shows the base plate 2 of the wire harness clip preassembly module 1 and the slides 3-4, the clip blocks 5-9 provided thereon.

Furthermore, as can be seen from fig. 1-2, a harness block 10, 11 is provided at each of the opposite ends of the two runners for receiving the front and rear portions of the OPF sensor harness, respectively. For this purpose, the harness block is provided at the top thereof with a harness holding groove extending in the length direction of the base plate.

The plurality of clip blocks are arranged between the two end harness blocks 10, 11 along two slide grooves.

In addition, each of the chuck blocks includes: a base 12; an upper support 13 arranged on the base and carrying the card slot. For this purpose, reference is made in particular to fig. 3, in which a clamping block, here clamping block 9, is shown. The other clip blocks and harness blocks are similarly structured.

For example, the upper support 13 may be located in the middle of the grip block. Referring additionally to fig. 3, the base 12 is symmetrically provided with three holes, which are through holes penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface of the base, respectively, at base portions on both sides of the upper supporting portion 13. Two through holes 14 and a through hole 15 on the side of the upper support part can be seen in fig. 3. The two through holes 14 are closer to the upper supporting portion 13 on the inside, called inside through holes; while the through holes 15 are remote from the upper support portion 13 on the outside, called outer through holes. Such through holes are likewise symmetrically arranged on the other side of the upper support.

When the clamping block is arranged in place on the sliding groove, the corresponding upper supporting part is approximately positioned between the two parallel sliding grooves 3 and 4; the base portions on either side of the upper support straddle the respective runners with the inner through holes vertically aligned with the runners, and fasteners such as bolts can be screwed into the inner through holes from below through the runners and tightened by nuts with the nuts in the recesses of the runners after tightening. The inner through holes on one side and the other side of the upper support part are in turn fastened in this way with fasteners, such as bolts-nuts, the clamping block 9 being kept substantially fastened in place with respect to the chute. The outer through-holes are then vertically opposite the plate surface of the base plate 2, which is outside the two slide grooves, into which positioning pins can be screwed for positioning. It is noted that such an outer through hole is not necessary. For example, for the middle clamping block 7, it has only one inner through hole on each side.

Furthermore, the number of through holes may also vary for different chuck blocks. For example, the holder block 7 of fig. 3 is provided with only one inner through hole on each side, whereas the other holder block and the two harness blocks are provided with three through holes on each side, two inner through holes and one outer through hole, as shown in fig. 2.

With such an arrangement, the mutual spacing of the respective clip blocks can be adjusted according to actual needs, and thereafter the adjusted spacing is fixed by the fastener, which makes the spacing between the respective clips preassembled to the sensor harness by the preassembled module accurate when the clips are preassembled to the harness such as the OPF sensor harness later, and the situation that the spacing does not coincide with the spacing of the parts assembled to the vehicle body, thereby causing difficulty in installation does not occur.

Further, the wire harness clip preassembly module 1 may further include a base 16, as shown in fig. 1. The base may be secured to a table (not shown).

Referring to fig. 4, a plurality of retaining blocks, here four retaining blocks 17, for retaining the base plate are secured to the base 16 along the edges thereof. One on each of the two sides along the length, i.e., the two short sides, of the base 16, and two such holding blocks 17 are provided along one side, i.e., the long side, of the width, here along the long side on the left as viewed in fig. 4. These holding blocks may be fixed to the base, for example by screws passing through two holes provided in the holding blocks visible in the figures.

Referring additionally to fig. 1, it can be seen that the base plate 2 is arranged on the base against the four holding blocks 17.

Also shown in fig. 4 are a plurality of holes provided on each of the two long sides of the base 16, with which holes the base 16 can be fixed to a table, not shown in the drawings.

In addition, it can be seen in fig. 1-2, 4 that the harness clip preassembly module further includes locking pins, here two locking pins 18. When the base plate 2 is placed onto the base 16 against the retaining blocks 17, the locking pins 18 pass through vertically aligned holes provided in turn on the base plate 2 and the base 16 and are tightened to detachably lock the base plate 2 to the base 16. For example, the latch 18 is shown with a handle 19. When the handle 19 is placed horizontally as shown, its lower end is expanded to lock the base plate and the base; when the handle is raised up, the latch is free to be removed, thereby separating the base plate from the base, in a manner not shown in the figures. Of course other embodiments are also contemplated.

In the assembled state shown in fig. 1, the two locking pins 18 are located close to the two harness blocks 10, 11 on the base plate 2, respectively.

It should be noted herein that the present utility model describes a clip preassembled module for an OPF sensor harness as an example for such a harness. Based on the similar principle, one or more preassembled modules, especially corresponding preassembled working parts, can be set according to actual needs, wherein the types, the number, the spacing, the length of the bottom plate and the like of the required clamping blocks can be adjusted according to needs, so that the preassembled operation of the wire harness clamp of the related type can be accelerated.

In operation, the clamping parts of the corresponding clamps are clamped in the clamping grooves of the corresponding clamping seat blocks, such as the clamping seat blocks 5-9, on the bottom plate in advance, then the wire harnesses are arranged on the clamping seat blocks along the clamping seat blocks and the end wire harness seat blocks, then the wire harnesses are fastened by the binding parts, such as the binding belts, of the clamps clamped in the clamping grooves by the clamping parts, and finally the clamping parts are pulled out of the clamping grooves, so that the wire harnesses which are preassembled with the corresponding clamps and distributed according to the set interval are obtained. The operator need only arrange such a jig-preloaded harness, such as an OPF sensor harness, to a corresponding location on the vehicle body, such as the underbody.

Obviously, on the one hand, the problem of overtime of on-line assembly can be solved by pre-preassembling the wire harness in advance, and on the other hand, the workload of operators on-line assembly is also reduced, especially in high-station installation. Furthermore, the distance between the clamps is set and fixed according to the actual situation, thereby facilitating the installation of the wire harness on the vehicle body. Naturally this also saves on the clamp, since it is usually disposable and if not positioned correctly and removed, it can only be cut out destructively, thus wasting it.

The utility model may include any feature or combination of features disclosed herein either implicitly or explicitly or any generalisation thereof, and is not limited to any of the limited scope of the disclosure as set forth hereinabove. Any of the elements, features, and/or structural arrangements described herein may be combined in any suitable manner.

The particular embodiments of the utility model described above are illustrative only, as the utility model may be modified and practiced in different but equivalent manners apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings herein. For example, the above-described method steps may be performed in a different order. Furthermore, no limitations are intended to the details of construction or design herein shown, other than as described in the claims below. It is therefore evident that the particular embodiments of the above utility model may be altered or modified and all such variations are considered within the scope and spirit of the utility model. Accordingly, the protection sought herein is as set forth in the claims below.
