AUTOMOTIVE WIRING HARNESS BACKDOOR
Statement of assignment:
Route the Wiring harness on Given car body and Prepare flatten view drawing in CATIA V5. Application of all Packaging rules, Industry best practices studied in this course shall be demonstrated in design. Apply Protection coverings as required.
Available connector 3D data can be used, or you can download the connectors from www.te.com
Prepare & Submit all necessary reports like clearance, Clipping/Clamping selection, Harness fixing requirements, Harness continuity, Assumptions if any along with CATIA 3D data.
Introduction-
The trunk or boot of a car is the vehicle's main storage or cargo compartment it also have a hatch at the rear of the vehicle. It is also called a tailgate.These doors can be operated manually or electric powered. here we design the trunk or back door wire harness using the Catia.The Backdoor is an assembly of many parts such as inner panel, outer panel upper, outer panel lower and Reinforcement.Inner panel is attached to the outer panel using mastic sealant.
Types of doors based on working position
Aim- To route the wiring harness on the given backdoor assembly and prepare the flatten view drawing in CATIA V5.
Objective-The objective of this project is to route the wiring harness and prepare flatten view drawing for the Backdoor of the car. All types of packaging rules have to be considered while routing the harness and industry based practices shall be demonstrated in harness design. All necessary details like clearance, clipping/clamping selection, harness fixing requirements, harness continuity should be provided in order to design the wiring harness.
Rules to be followed-
Steps required-
STEP 1 - Creating context assembly
Open the Backdoor assembly in the catia making an assembly product file.
STEP 2 - Defining connectors electrically
Choosing right components for the wire harness routing.here we are using the components for backdoor upper and lower lights,wiper motor,sensors,and defogging equipment.the connectors used are first elecrically defined and then added to the catia model.
The type of connectors used are given below-
1- Interconnection connector
2- 2 pole connector used for light,sensors,motors.
3- Clip and clamp is used to set the location of wire
4- Sheet metal bracket
STEP 3 - Adding connectors and needed equipments
Opening the equipments in catia and using the snap and smart move and positioning the connectores and supports.
The first part we position here is the interconnection connectors.
we place the p clamps for the support in the needed positions.
proper connectors are positiioned for different electrical equipments
STEP 4 - Bundle routing
The routing starts with interconnection connector placed on the L clip
it is continusly routed to the following supports
the major routing supports used here are the p clams and fur tree
here the righ back light connectors are routed
here we keep the connectors for the wiper motor equipment
here the righ back light connectors are routed
these are the coonectors for the lower lights and the sensors
here the left back light connectors are routed
Now by using multi-branch bundle route all the connector with the clip and clamp.
STEP 5 - Bundle continuity check
Now we check the bundle continuity check for the further process.
the continuity checked of TRUE
the continuity checked of FALSE
STEP 6 - Adding protective covering to the harness bundle
By using protection covering tool we protect all the bundle.we have created a catlouge and we add the protection cover of 15mm diameter and 10 mm diameter.here we Create a gap from the end and start extremity.
STEP 7 - Create flatten view
Now we open a new product file for the Electrical harness Flattening.here we save the already made geometrical bundle segment and we extract the geometrical bundle to flatten harness by apply flattening parameters we flattten the geometrical bundle.
once the branches are flattened we do some modification in the branches using the Rotate,bend,straighten etc tools in the Electrical harness flattening.
STEP 8 - Creating a flatten view drawing
After the modification we synchronize the changes wich are done to the real file and then we open new file for drawing using A0 size having scale of 3:4.and we extract the flattened model to the new drawing sheet made.
Conclusion - Routing of the wiring harness for the car Backdoor assembly has been succesfully done and prepared flatten-view drawing in Catia V5 as per the design requirements.
