Wiring Protection for Dash Cam Installation

Camera structure that prevents wire harnesses from turning loose in vehicle cameras, especially when the vehicle vibrates during operation. The structure has an installation box with an anti-loosening mechanism that prevents the sub-connector and female connector from separating. The sub-connector and female connector are inserted into the box and rotated 90 degrees horizontally by a sealing ring. This locks them in place with clamping plates to prevent turning loose. A docking mechanism with sliding connectors and locking components allows connecting the sub-connector and female connector, then locks them to prevent loosening.

Vehicle camera wiring harness with improved connectivity and modularity for easy camera configuration. The harness uses a specialized cable design with multiple cores arranged in a fan shape. The left ends of the cores connect to terminals, covered by a shell, and the right ends go through a sheath. The shell has an external thread and nut to secure the connector. This allows adding/removing cameras by connecting/disconnecting the cores to terminals without requiring wire stripping or soldering. The blind plugs in the connectors prevent dust entry. The modular design reduces wiring complexity and failure rate compared to multiple separate camera wires.

A wire harness for security monitoring equipment that prevents lines from getting knotted, especially in pan-tilt cameras. The harness has a connector with a fixed conductive column inside. The column contacts an insulated device that attaches to the camera. This prevents the camera's rotation from pulling the wires. The column also contacts a collector plate inside a limiting sleeve. Copper pillars around the plate connect to a wire fixing sleeve below. A support rod passes through the sleeve and attaches to a fixed plate. This prevents the wires from twisting. The harness continues with a heat dissipation ring, insulated layer, shielding, and outer sheath.

High-strength waterproof wiring harness for automotive cameras that enhances both waterproofing and tensile strength compared to conventional harnesses. The harness has a unique design with a transition piece connecting the plug base to the wire wrapping layer. This transition piece, called the mesh tail transition part, provides waterproofing and strengthens the connection between the plug and wires. The transition part has a cylindrical shape with an equal bottom and side surface area. This helps distribute forces and prevent wire breakage. The transition piece also has a screw hole parallel to the wire direction for securing the harness.

Fixing structure for vehicle-mounted camera wiring harnesses that reduces cost and improves reliability compared to existing solutions. The structure involves embedding the board end connector inside the camera housing and using a matching connector with a hole that aligns with the connector pins. This allows using unshielded connectors and wiring for the camera harness since the connector is fully enclosed in the housing. This eliminates the need for separate shielded connectors and wiring, reducing cost. It also prevents interference since the connector pins are enclosed. The embedded connector also simplifies assembly and prevents damage.
