Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a wiring harness connector, including a connector 1, a connector 2 2 is provided on the outer wall of the connector 1, a card slot 3 is opened inside the connector 1, a card block 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connector 2 2, the outer wall of the card block 4 is set inside the card slot 3, the outer wall of the connector 2 2 is fixedly connected to the limiting component 5, the outer wall of the connector 1 is fixedly connected to the fixing component 6, the outer wall of the limiting component 5 is set on the inner wall of the fixing component 6, and the interiors of the connector 1 and the connector 2 2 are both provided with anti-slip components 7.

[0024] Specifically, when performing the connection operation, first align the card block 14 on the connector 2 with the card slot 3 of the connector 1 and insert it. The limiting component 5 on the outer wall of the connector 2 and the fixing component 6 on the outer wall of the connector 1 cooperate with each other to realize the fixing function. The anti-slip component 7 inside the connector 1 and the connector 2 is used to prevent the inserted wiring harness from loosening or falling off.

[0025] Please see the attached Figure 4 -Attached Figure 5The limiting assembly 5 includes a fixing plate 51, the outer wall of the fixing plate 51 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting head 2, the outer wall of the fixing plate 51 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 52, the interior of the mounting block 52 is fixedly connected to the fixing column 53, the outer wall of the fixing column 53 is provided with a spring 1 54 and a spring 2 55, the outer walls of the spring 1 54 and the spring 2 55 are provided with a flip plate 56, and the outer wall of the flip plate 56 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 2 58; the limiting assembly 5 also includes a plastic hard sheet 57, the outer wall of the plastic hard sheet 57 is fixedly connected to the interior of the mounting block 52.

[0026] Specifically, when it is necessary to connect connector 1 and connector 2, first insert the block 1 on connector 2 into the slot 3 of connector 1 to achieve preliminary positioning. Simultaneously, operate the limit assembly 5 to press the flip plate 56. Since the flip plate 56 is sleeved on the fixed column 53, and the outer wall of the fixed column 53 is provided with a spring 1 54 and a spring 2 55, when pressed, the spring 1 54 and the spring 2 55 are compressed, and the block 2 58 is stuck in the interior of the fixing assembly 6, and finally, the connector 2 and connector 1 are further fixed. Please see the attached Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 The fixing assembly 6 includes a shell 61, the outer wall of the shell 61 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector 1, the interior of the shell 61 is slidably connected to a sliding block 62, the lower surface of the sliding block 62 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped block 63, the bottom end of the L-shaped block 63 is provided with a spring three 64, and the bottom end of the spring three 64 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the shell 61; the fixing assembly 6 also includes a sliding column 65, the outer wall of the sliding column 65 is slidably connected to the interior of the shell 61, the left outer wall of the sliding column 65 is fixedly connected to a baffle 67, and the right outer wall of the sliding column 65 is fixedly connected to a handle 66.

[0027] Specifically, when the second card block 58 is stuck in the inside of the L-shaped block 63, the connector 1 and the second connector 2 will be further fixed. When the flip plate 56 needs to be released, the handle 66 is manually pushed. The handle 66 will drive the baffle 67 and the sliding column 65 to slide. The sliding column 65 will slide inside the shell 61. At the same time, the sliding column 65 will squeeze the sliding block 62. The sliding block 62 will be squeezed and the L-shaped block 63 will squeeze the spring three 64. Finally, the L-shaped block 63 will release the second card block 58.

[0028] Please see the attached Figure 8 The anti-slip component 7 includes a wire insertion groove 71, the outer wall of the wire insertion groove 71 is set inside the connector 1 and the connector 2, and a rubber ball 72 is fixedly connected to the inside of the wire insertion groove 71.

[0029] Specifically, when the wiring harness is inserted into the wire insertion slot 71, the rubber ball 72 will be in close contact with the surface of the wiring harness. Rubber is a material with a high friction coefficient. A large friction force will be generated between the surface of the rubber ball 72 and the surface of the wiring harness, which can effectively hinder the movement of the wiring harness and keep the wiring harness stable inside the connector. Regardless of the vibrations and bumps generated during the driving of the vehicle, or the external pulling force, the friction between the rubber ball 72 and the wiring harness can play a resistance role, preventing the wiring harness from escaping from the wire insertion slot 71, thereby ensuring the stability of electrical signal transmission and power supply.

[0030] Please see the attached Figure 9 , wiring harness connector automobile control system, the automobile control system includes a wiring harness connector, which is used to connect different electronic components inside the car to ensure stable electrical signal transmission and power supply between the electronic components; the automobile control system also includes a central control unit, which communicates with the various electronic components connected through the wiring harness connector, can receive and process data sent by each electronic component, and send control instructions to the electronic components according to preset programs.

[0031] Specifically, the central control unit communicates with various electronic components through wiring harness connectors, can receive data sent from different electronic components, analyze and process these data, and then send control instructions to the electronic components according to preset programs. The wiring harness connector acts as a bridge, responsible for connecting different electronic components inside the car, ensuring stable electrical signal transmission and power supply between various electronic components, and ensuring that data interaction and control instruction transmission between the central control unit and various electronic components can be realized. Electronic component 1, electronic component 2 and electronic component 3 represent many electronic components with different functions inside the car. They are connected to the central control unit through wiring harness connectors. On the one hand, they send their own data to the central control unit, and on the other hand, they receive control instructions sent by the central control unit and perform corresponding actions.

[0032] Please see the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 , the application process of the wiring harness connector includes the following steps: S1, when installing the wiring harness connector, first align the card block 1 4 on the connector 2 with the card slot 3 of the connector 1 to make a preliminary connection between the connector 1 and the connector 2; S2: Push the flip plate 56 on the limit assembly 5, thereby compressing the spring 1 54 and the spring 2 55, aligning the clamping block 2 58 with the L-shaped block 63 in the fixing assembly 6. Release the flip plate 56, and the spring 1 54 and the spring 2 55 rebound, so that the clamping block 2 58 is locked inside the L-shaped block 63, completing the further fixation of the connector 1 and the connector 2; S3, insert the wire harness into the wire insertion slots 71 inside the connector 1 and the connector 2, and use the rubber balls 72 inside the wire insertion slots 71 to increase friction to ensure a secure connection of the wire harness; S4, when the flip plate 56 and the second clamping block 58 are no longer needed, the flip plate 56 is turned over to the inside of the mounting block 52, and the plastic hard sheet 57 will limit the movement of the flip plate 56 and get it stuck.

[0033] Specifically, when installing the wiring harness connector, the card block 1 4 on the connector 2 is accurately aligned with the card slot 3 of the connector 1 and inserted, so that the connector 1 and the connector 2 2 can be quickly and accurately preliminarily docked, and the relative positions of the two are determined, laying the foundation for subsequent more stable connection operations, while preventing large displacement before subsequent operations. After the initial connection is completed, push the flip plate 56 on the limit assembly 5, and align the card block 2 58 with the inside of the L-shaped block 63 in the fixing assembly 6, so that it is firmly stuck in the inside of the L-shaped block 63, effectively preventing the two connectors from separating due to vibration, external force pulling and other factors during use, thereby ensuring the stability of the wiring harness connector during operation.

[0034] After the connector is fixed, the third step is to insert the wiring harness into the wire insertion slot 71 inside connector 1 and connector 2 2. The rubber ball 72 in the wire insertion slot 71 has a high friction coefficient and good elasticity. When the wiring harness is inserted, the rubber ball 72 is squeezed and elastically deformed, tightly fitting to the surface of the wiring harness, generating a large friction force, which can effectively resist the vibration, shaking, pulling and other external forces exerted on the wiring harness during use, prevent the wiring harness from loosening or falling off, and ensure a stable electrical connection between the wiring harness and the connector. At the same time, the elasticity of the rubber ball 72 enables it to adapt to wiring harnesses of different diameters and surface materials, thereby improving the adaptability of the connector to the wiring harness and ensuring reliable connection in a variety of application scenarios.

[0035] When the wiring harness connector is finished using or no longer needs to use the flip plate 56 and the card block 2 58, the flip plate 56 is reversed to the inside of the mounting block 52 to avoid the flip plate 56 and the card block 2 58 being exposed when not in use, and to prevent them from being accidentally bumped, damaged or misoperated. When the flip plate 56 is reversed to the inside of the mounting block 52, the plastic hard sheet 57 will clamp the flip plate 56, restricting its movement and preventing it from rotating or popping out at will, thereby ensuring the stability of the limit assembly 5 in the non-working state, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the entire wiring harness connector.

[0036] Please see the attached Figure 6 When disassembling the wiring harness connector, hold the handle 66 on the fixing component 6 and push the sliding column 65, thereby driving the sliding block 62 to move, so that the L-shaped block 63 is separated from the card block 2 58, and then pull out the connector 2 2, pull out the card block 1 4 from the card slot 3, and then separate the connector 1 1 and the connector 2 2, and finally pull the wiring harness out of the wire insertion slot 71.

[0037] Specifically, the sliding of the sliding column 65 drives the L-shaped block 63 to compress the spring three 64 , and the spring three 64 is used to drive the L-shaped block 63 to reset, and finally the L-shaped block 63 is separated from the clamping block 2 58 .

[0038] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
