Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to a simplified structure connector and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] High voltage connectors are generally divided into male connectors and female connectors to facilitate the connection between power supply lines.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with the announcement number CN207233986 has been retrieved, which discloses a 120° high-voltage connector, which is mainly composed of two parts: a male connector assembly and a female connector assembly. After the male connector and the female connector are connected, the male connector and the female connector are connected by an interlocking structure. However, after the male connector and the female connector are connected, the connector generally needs to be replaced and reconnected after two to three years of use. If the connector is used for electrical connection again, the maintenance cost is relatively high. Summary of the invention

[0004] The first object of the present invention is to provide a connector with a simplified structure, which has the advantage of reducing the connector cost.

[0005] The first objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: a simplified structure connector, comprising a female end connector, the female end connector comprising a fixing block and a conductive sheet, a relative surface of the fixing sheet on the lower side of the fixing block (11) is set as a first surface and a second surface, the conductive sheet is penetrated through the first surface and the second surface, the surface of the fixing block adjacent to the first surface is surrounded by a locking plate, one end of the conductive sheet is connected to a wiring terminal perpendicular to the conductive sheet, the locking plate is detachably connected to a cover plate, the connection between the wiring terminal and the conductive sheet and the wiring terminal are both located in the cover plate, the side of the cover plate facing the locking plate is provided with a first groove, the surface of the locking plate facing the cover plate is provided with a second groove, the first groove and the second groove are arranged opposite to each other and cooperate to form a wire hole leading to the wiring terminal, the surface of the locking plate facing the cover plate is fixed with a locking sheet, the locking sheet is located between the cover plate and the locking plate, and the locking sheet is used to cooperate with the second groove to fix the wire.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the conductive sheet is directly connected to the terminal, reducing the connection structure between the female connector and the terminal; the connection between the female connector and the terminal is located between the locking plate and the cover plate, making it difficult for the female connector and the terminal to separate, thereby protecting the female connector and the terminal.

[0007] According to a further configuration of the present invention, a first protective plate and two oppositely arranged and parallel second protective plates are fixed to the surface of the fixing plate, the first protective plate is fixed between the ends of the two second protective plates, the first protective plate is located on one side of the connection between the conductive plate and the wiring terminal, and the first protective plate and the second protective plate are both located on the inner side of the cover plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the end of the terminal facing away from the conductive sheet is connected to the wire and then the cover plate and the locking plate are fixed, the first protective plate and the second protective plate make the connection between the conductive sheet, the terminal and the wire less susceptible to external influences.

[0009] A further configuration of the present invention is that a top plate is detachably fixed to the sides of the first protective plate and the two second protective plates facing away from the fixing plate, and a relatively arranged connecting plate is fixed to the surface of the top plate facing the fixing block, the distance between the two connecting plates is smaller than the distance between the two second protective plates, and the surface of the connecting plate is in conflict with the opposite surfaces of the two second protective plates.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the top plate is clamped between the two second protection plates through the connecting plate, which plays the role of fixing the top plate, so that the connection between the conductive sheet, the terminal and the wire is in a relatively sealed state, so that the connection between the conductive sheet, the terminal and the wire can be better protected.

[0011] According to a further configuration of the present invention, two conductive sheets are provided, both of the two conductive sheets are connected to wiring terminals, the two wiring terminals are arranged in parallel, and the two conductive sheets and the two wiring terminals are located between the first protection plate and the second protection plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector can connect two wires at the same time, reducing the number of connectors used.

[0013] According to a further configuration of the present invention, a first isolation plate fixed between the fixing plates is provided between the two wiring terminals, and a second isolation plate fixed between the fixing plates is provided between the conductive plates.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the isolation plate makes it difficult for the two wiring terminals to contact each other, making the use of the connector safer.

[0015] According to a further configuration of the present invention, a first waterproof strip is fixed on the surface of the cover plate facing the locking plate, the first waterproof strip is provided with a first through groove aligned with the first groove, the first protective plate and the second protective plate are located on the inner side of the first waterproof strip, and a second waterproof strip is fixed on the surface of the locking plate, the second waterproof strip is provided with a second through groove aligned with the second groove, the first waterproof strip matches the second waterproof strip, and the first through groove and the second through groove cooperate to form a connecting hole connected to the wire hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the first waterproof strip and the second waterproof strip cooperate with each other, so that water outside the connector is not easy to enter the connector, thereby achieving a better waterproof effect.

[0017] According to a further configuration of the present invention, inner walls of the first through groove and the second through groove are configured as wave surfaces.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the first waterproof strip and the second waterproof strip cooperate, and the first through groove and the second through groove clamp the wires. Therefore, when water enters the interior of the connector from between the first through groove, the second through groove and the wires, the wavy surface makes it difficult for water to directly enter the interior of the connector.

[0019] According to a further configuration of the present invention, a fifth annular waterproof strip is fixed to a surface of the locking plate facing away from the cover plate, and the fifth waterproof strip is arranged around the fixing block.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the locking plate is fixed on the surface of the electrical device with its surface facing away from the cover plate, the fifth waterproof strip and the surface of the electrical device form a closed space, making it difficult for water to enter between the fifth waterproof strip and the electrical device.

[0021] A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for installing a simplified structural connector, which has the advantage of facilitating the installation of the connector.

[0022] The second object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: The further configuration of the present invention further includes the following steps:

[0023] S1: Insert two conductive sheets into the fixed block to form a female connector;

[0024] S2: The fixing block is clamped on the inner side of the locking plate;

[0025] S3: fixing the second waterproof strip on the surface of the locking plate facing the cover body;

[0026] S4: Connect the wire to one end of the wiring terminal, fix the other end of the wiring terminal to one end of the conductive sheet located on the first surface of the fixing sheet by screws, pass the wire through the second through slot and the second groove, and fix the locking sheet on the locking plate to cooperate with the locking plate to press the wire tightly;

[0027] S5: Fixing the first waterproof strip on the cover plate;

[0028] S6: fixing the cover plate on the locking plate, specifically, the first through groove and the second through groove cooperate to form a connecting hole, and the first groove and the second groove cooperate to form a wire hole;

[0029] S7: Fix the fifth waterproof strip to the surface of the locking plate facing away from the cover plate.

[0030] Furthermore, before S6, the following steps are also included:

[0031] S6-1: Clamp the top plate between the two second protection plates.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution,

[0033] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. The female connector is directly connected to the terminal, which simplifies the structure of the connector and reduces the cost of the connector;

[0035] 2. The locking piece cooperates with the second groove to clamp the wire connected to the terminal, thereby moving the connector connected with the wire, so that the wire is not easily offset in the connector, thereby ensuring the stability of the wire connection;

[0036] 3. The cover plate and the locking plate can be disassembled, which facilitates the maintenance of the internal connection of the connector. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
