[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the front view, rear view, left view, right view, top view, and bottom view of the wire-to-wire connector of this utility model applied in an explosion-proof frequency converter are given respectively. Figure 7 and Figure 8 A three-dimensional diagram is provided, showing that the wire-to-wire connector consists of a multi-core terminal head 1, a multi-core connector 2, a mounting frame 3, and a base plate 4. The multi-core terminal head 1 and the multi-core connector 2 are plugged together, so that the aligned terminal head and connector are electrically connected. The mounting frame 3 is a rectangular frame shape, and the two ends of the plugged-in multi-core terminal head 1 and multi-core connector 2 are fixed to the mounting frame 3 by connecting bolts 5.

[0020] The base plate 4 shown is rectangular in shape, with a rectangular slot 6. After the multi-core terminal head 1 and the multi-core connector 2 are fixed to the mounting frame 3, the multi-core connector 2 passes through the rectangular slot 6, and the mounting frame 3 is secured in the rectangular slot 6. To ensure the multi-core terminal head 1, the multi-core connector 2, and the mounting frame 3 are firmly fixed in the rectangular slot 6, first bolt holes 7 are provided at both ends of the mounting frame 3, and second bolt holes 10 are provided on the outer sides of the base plate 4 at both ends of the rectangular slot 6. Thus, by screwing screws into the first bolt holes 7 and the second bolt holes 10, the mounting frame 3, together with the multi-core terminal head 1 and the multi-core connector 2, can be firmly fixed in the rectangular slot 6.

[0021] Meanwhile, after the mounting frame 3 is inserted into the rectangular slot 6, in order to limit the insertion of the mounting frame 3, both ends of the mounting frame 3 are provided with limiting ear plates 11. The distance between the outer end faces of the two limiting ear plates 11 is slightly greater than the length of the rectangular slot 6. In this way, after the mounting frame 3 is inserted into the rectangular slot 6, the interference fit is used to increase the firmness of the mounting frame 3 in the rectangular slot 6.

[0022] A side plate 8 is provided on the bottom plate 4 away from the rectangular slot 6. The side plate 8 has a third bolt hole 9. The side plate 8 and the bottom plate 4 are integrally bent. The side plate 8 is fixed to the inverter cabinet door 13 by screws passing through the third bolt hole 9. In this way, the bottom plate 4, multi-core terminal head 1, multi-core wiring bracket 2 and mounting frame 3 are fixed on the inverter cabinet door 13.

[0023] In use, the wiring harness from the inverter cavity 14 to the cabinet door device is plugged into the multi-core terminal block 1, and the wiring harness from the cabinet door device to the inverter cavity 14 is plugged into the multi-core terminal block 2. In this way, the electrical connection between the cabinet door device and the corresponding device inside the inverter cavity 14 is realized.

[0024] like Figure 9 The diagram shows the usage state of the wire-to-wire connector of this invention. The inverter cabinet 12 shown contains an inverter cavity 14, and an inverter cabinet door 13 is provided on the inverter cabinet 12. The inverter cavity 14 mainly houses the main circuit components and the control power supply. A cabinet door component is installed on the inner surface of the inverter cabinet door 13, which mainly includes a main control section 17 and an inverter module section 18. The function of the wire-to-wire connector of this invention is to achieve electrical connection between the cabinet door component and the corresponding components inside the inverter cavity 14.

[0025] The wire-to-wire connector 15 shown is fixed to the inverter cabinet door 13. The wiring harness of the components inside the inverter cavity 14 is plugged into the multi-core terminal block 1, and the wiring harness from the cabinet door components to the inverter cavity 14 is plugged into the multi-core terminal block 2. In this way, the wiring harness connection between the cabinet door components and the corresponding components inside the inverter cavity 14 is realized. The wiring harness connecting the components inside the inverter cavity 14 to the multi-core terminal block 1 is wrapped with a PP flexible tube, thus forming a protective wiring harness 16.

[0026] As can be seen, the wire-to-wire connector of this utility model, applied to explosion-proof frequency converters, connects the cabinet door components and the frequency converter cavity through multi-core terminal head 1 and multi-core connector 2, which can meet the needs of multiple control lines and can be freely disassembled. It solves the drawback of not being able to operate in parallel when wiring across cabinet door harnesses, improves wiring efficiency, solves the difficulty of removing control lines when replacing the entire cabinet door components, and improves the convenience of later maintenance.
