[0002] As electrical products, electronic products and other electrical equipment become more and more diverse, electrical equipment involves more and more electrical connections.
[0003] For example, in a dimming glass device, the lead wires (including conductive wires and foil) from the glass substrate need to be electrically connected to the lead wires from the control element. Currently, this method involves connecting the cores of the two lead wires together and wrapping them with insulating tape. However, this connection method is less reliable, and the two lead wires can easily become disconnected, especially under external forces. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing methods, the present application proposes a connector and an electrical device to solve the technical problem of poor electrical connection reliability between different components of the electrical device in the prior art.

[0011] The beneficial technical effects brought about by the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application include:
[0012] In the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, the conductive member and the first shell are used to clamp and fix the first conductor, and the conductive member and the second shell are used to clamp and fix the second conductor. Since the conductive member can move in the chamber formed by the first shell and the second shell, in particular, it can move in the direction from the first shell to the second shell, thereby being able to adaptively adjust the size of the gap between the first shell and the conductive member and between the conductive member and the second shell, so that the first conductor and the second conductor are subjected to the same clamping force, so that the connector can connect and fix the first conductor and the second conductor of different thicknesses, thereby ensuring the connection strength and connection reliability between the conductor and the connector and improving the adaptability of the connector.
[0013] Moreover, since the first bite portion, the second bite portion, the third bite portion and the fourth bite portion are provided, the connector fixes the first conductor and the second conductor by bite, and the contact area between each bite portion and the conductor is large, which increases the area where the conductor is fixed, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the conductor and the connector and ensuring the connection reliability between the conductor and the connector.

[0037] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings are exemplary descriptions for explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
[0038] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless otherwise stated, the singular forms "a," "an," "said," and "the" used herein may also include plural forms. It should be further understood that the term "comprising" used in the specification of this application refers to the presence of the described features, integers, steps, and / or operations, but does not exclude the implementation of other features, information, data, steps, operations, and / or combinations thereof supported by the technical field. The term "and / or" used herein refers to at least one of the items defined by the term, for example, "A and / or B" can be implemented as "A," or as "B," or as "A and B."
[0039] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] First, the relevant technologies involved in this application are described:
[0041] Currently, the electrical connection between different components is often done by directly connecting the wires (including linear, sheet, etc.) leading from the two components and then wrapping them with insulating tape. This method has poor connection reliability, especially when pulled by external forces, as the two wires are easily disconnected. In addition, the lifespan of the insulating tape is limited. Over time, the insulating tape is prone to falling off, causing short circuits. Especially for electrical devices used in outdoor scenarios, the lifespan of the insulating tape will be further shortened.
[0042] Some manufacturers also use connectors, which consist of terminals and screws or pressure pieces. These screws or pressure pieces secure the wires to the terminals. However, the screws or pressure pieces are fixed to the wires at a single point, leaving a limited contact area. This can easily cause the wires to become detached from the terminals under external forces. Furthermore, connecting wires of varying thicknesses results in the two screws or pressure pieces being at different heights.
[0043] For existing dimming glass devices, the lead wires are mostly sheet-like conductive foil, FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), and COF (Chip On Film). FPC, due to its inherent material and thickness limitations, suffers from low strength, weak ductility, and poor heat resistance. When pulled by external forces, FPC can easily break or open the circuit, causing the dimming glass device to malfunction. Furthermore, the conductive foil, FPC, and COF are relatively thin, and existing connectors often fail to effectively secure them, causing the conductive foil, FPC, or COF to detach from the connector.
[0044] Furthermore, both of these methods often require additional tools like wire strippers to expose the wire cores, reducing operator efficiency. This is particularly true for outdoor displays, dimming glass, and solar power generation equipment, where operators often need to connect various components at high altitudes. Carrying additional wire strippers not only increases the operator's workload but also increases the risk of falling objects.
[0045] The connector and electrical equipment provided in this application are aimed at solving the above technical problems in the prior art.
[0046] The following is a detailed description of the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems with specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can refer to, draw on, or combine with each other, and the same terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be repeated.
[0047] The embodiment of the present application provides a connector, the structural diagram of which is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the connector shown is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the exploded structure diagram of the connector and the wire connection is as follows Figures 8-10 The connector includes a first housing 10 , a second housing 20 and a conductive member 30 .
[0048] In this embodiment of the present application, the second housing 20 is detachably connected to the first housing 10; the conductive member 30 is located within the cavity enclosed by the first and second housings 10, 20. A first engaging portion 31 is provided on one side of the conductive member 30, and a second engaging portion 32 is provided on the other side, away from the first engaging portion 31. The inner surface of the first housing 10 is provided with a third engaging portion 11 that matches the first engaging portion 31, and the inner surface of the second housing 20 is provided with a fourth engaging portion 21 that matches the second engaging portion 32.
[0049] In the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, the conductive member 30 and the first shell 10 are used to clamp and fix the first conductor, and the conductive member 30 and the second shell 20 are used to clamp and fix the second conductor. Since the conductive member 30 can move in the cavity enclosed by the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, in particular, it can move in the direction from the first shell 10 to the second shell 20, thereby being able to adaptively adjust the size of the gap between the first shell 10 and the conductive member 30 and between the conductive member 20 and the second shell 10, so that the first conductor and the second conductor are subjected to the same clamping force, so that the connector can connect and fix the first conductor and the second conductor of different thicknesses, thereby being able to ensure the connection strength between the first conductor and the second conductor and the connector, ensuring the connection reliability, and improving the adaptability of the connector.
[0050] Moreover, since the first bite portion 31, the second bite portion 32, the third bite portion 11 and the fourth bite portion 21 are provided, the connector fixes the first conductor and the second conductor by bite, and the contact area between each bite portion and the conductor is large, which increases the area where the conductor is fixed, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the conductor and the connector and ensuring the connection reliability between the conductor and the connector.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the connector connects the conductors of two different electrical components to achieve electrical connection between the two different electrical components. Figure 2 、 Figures 8-10 Meanwhile, the wire 200 is used to represent the first conductor and the second conductor.
[0052] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conductive member 30 has no fixed connection with the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 , so that the conductive member 30 can move in the cavity enclosed by the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 .
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the conductive member 30 and the first shell 10 are used to clamp and fix one wire 200, and the conductive member 30 and the second shell 20 are used to clamp and fix another wire 200, that is, the wires 200 are located on two opposite side surfaces of the conductive member 30. Since the conductive member 30 can move in the cavity enclosed by the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, the two wires 200 are subjected to the same clamping force, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the two wires 200 and the connector.
[0054] When the two conductors 200 have different thicknesses (or diameters), the thicker conductor 200 will naturally push the conductive member 30 to squeeze the thinner conductor 200, so that the two conductors 200 are subjected to the same clamping force. As a result, the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application can connect and fix two conductors 200 of different thicknesses, thereby ensuring the connection strength and connection reliability between the conductors 200 and the connector and improving the adaptability of the connector.
[0055] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first bite portion 31 is provided on one side of the conductive member 30, a second bite portion 32 is provided on the other side away from the first bite portion 31, and a third bite portion 11 ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 (not shown), the inner surface of the second housing 20 is provided with a fourth engaging portion 21 that matches the second engaging portion 32. In the embodiment of the present application, the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11 are used to engage one wire 200, and the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21 are used to engage another wire 200.
[0056] Specifically, when the connector secures two wires 200, the first and third engaging portions 31 and 11 engage one wire 200, while the second and fourth engaging portions 32 and 21 engage the other wire 200. Taking the first and third engaging portions 31 and 11 engaging the wire 200 as an example, the different surface contours of the engaging portions increase the contact area between the first and third engaging portions 31 and 11 and the wires 200, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the first and third engaging portions 31 and 11 and the wires 200 and ensuring the reliability of the connection between the wires 200 and the connector.
[0057] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 3As shown, due to the different surface convexities of the first, second, third, and fourth engaging portions 31, 32, 11, and 21, the gap between the first and third engaging portions 31 and 11 fluctuates with the surface of the first engaging portion 31, and the gap between the second and fourth engaging portions 32 and 21 fluctuates with the surface of the second engaging portion 32. In other words, one engaged wire 200 fluctuates with the surface of the first engaging portion 31, while the other engaged wire fluctuates with the surface of the second engaging portion 32. This results in multiple forces acting on the wires 200. This improves the wire's pullout resistance when pulled out by external forces, further ensuring the connection reliability between the wires 200 and the connector.
[0058] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are made of insulating material, and the conductive part 30 is made of conductive material, for example, metal materials such as copper, aluminum, and silver. Optionally, the material of the conductive part 30 is the same as the material of the wire 200.
[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, when the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 have a first accommodating gap, along the extension direction of the first accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 includes the first vertical distance and the second vertical distance; when the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 have a second accommodating gap, along the extension direction of the second accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 includes the first vertical distance and the second vertical distance.
[0060] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 3 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the connector in the first state. At this time, the central axis surface of the conductive part 30 is coplanar with the central axis surface of the wire hole formed by the first groove 12 and the second groove 22, so that the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 have a first accommodating gap, and the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 have a second accommodating gap. The first accommodating gap and the second accommodating gap are used to accommodate the wire 200.
[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, along the extension direction of the first accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 includes a first vertical distance and a second vertical distance, that is, the minimum distances between different parts of the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 are different, so that different parts of the bitten wire 200 are subjected to different sizes of biting forces, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 and the wire 200, and further ensuring the connection reliability of the wire 200 and the connector, and enhancing the connection reliability of the wire 200 and the connector.
[0062] It should be noted that the minimum distance between the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11 refers to the length of a perpendicular line between the surfaces of the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11. The minimum distance between the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21 refers to the length of a perpendicular line between the surfaces of the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21.
[0063] Similarly, in the embodiment of the present application, along the extension direction of the second accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 includes a first vertical distance and a second vertical distance, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 and the wire 200, thereby ensuring the connection reliability between the wire 200 and the connector, and enhancing the connection reliability between the wire 200 and the connector.
[0064] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the connector in the second state. At this time, the conductive part 30 naturally contacts the second shell 20 under the action of gravity. At this time, the first bite part 31 and the third bite part 11 have a first accommodating gap, and the surface of the second bite part 32 and the surface of the fourth bite part 21 are completely fitted together, that is, at this time, the second bite part 32 and the fourth bite part 21 of the connector do not have a second accommodating gap, and the first accommodating gap can be used to accommodate two wires 200.
[0065] In one embodiment of the present application, when the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 have a first accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 changes periodically along the extension direction of the first accommodating gap; when the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 have a second accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 changes periodically along the extension direction of the second accommodating gap.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 have a first accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 changes periodically along the extension direction of the first accommodating gap, so that the magnitude of the bite force applied to different parts of the wire 200 bitten by the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 changes periodically, which can ensure the reliability of the connection between the wire 200 and the connector and facilitate the production of the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11.
[0067] Similarly, when the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 have a second accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 changes periodically along the extension direction of the second accommodating gap, so that the magnitude of the bite force applied to different parts of the wire 200 bitten by the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 changes periodically, which can ensure the connection reliability between the wire 200 and the connector and facilitate the production of the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21, thereby facilitating the production of the connector.
[0068] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, in order to further simplify the manufacture of the connector, the first bite portion 31 and the second bite portion 32 may have the same shape and size, and accordingly, the third bite portion 11 and the fourth bite portion 21 may also have the same shape and size.
[0069] In one embodiment of the present application, the first bite portion 31, the second bite portion 32, the third bite portion 11 and the fourth bite portion 21 each include at least two sub-bites periodically arranged along the first direction; the maximum distance between the inner surface of the first shell 10 and the inner surface of the second shell 20 in the second direction is greater than the size of the conductive part 30 in the second direction; the first direction is the direction from one end face of the conductive part 30 to the other end face, and the second direction is the direction from the first shell 10 to the second shell 20, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, along the first direction, by providing at least two periodically arranged sub-engaging portions at each engaging portion, the magnitude of the engaging force on different parts of the wire 200 engaged by the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11 is periodically varied, thereby ensuring the connection reliability between the conductor and the connector. Similarly, along the first direction, the magnitude of the engaging force on different parts of the wire 200 engaged by the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21 is periodically varied.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the maximum distance between the inner surface of the first shell 10 and the inner surface of the second shell 20 in the second direction is greater than the size of the conductive part 30 in the second direction, so that the conductive part 30 can move within the cavity formed by the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, especially can move in the direction from the first shell 10 to the second shell 20.
[0072] In one embodiment of the present application, the sub-bite portion includes a convex portion, a transition portion and a concave portion connected in sequence, and the minimum distance between the convex portion 311 of the first biting portion 31 and the concave portion 113 of the third biting portion 11 is greater than or less than the minimum distance between the transition portion 312 of the first biting portion 31 and the transition portion 112 of the third biting portion 11.
[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 are taken as an example for description. Figure 4 As shown, the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 each include at least two sub-biting portions periodically arranged along the first direction, and the sub-biting portion of the first bite portion 31 includes a convex portion 311 of the first bite portion 31, a transition portion 312 of the first bite portion 31 and a concave portion 313 of the first bite portion 31 connected in sequence. Correspondingly, the sub-biting portion of the third bite portion 11 includes a convex portion 111 of the third bite portion 11, a transition portion 112 of the third bite portion 11 and a concave portion 113 of the third bite portion 11 connected in sequence.
[0074] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, when the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 have a first accommodating gap, the convex portion 311 of the first bite portion 31 is opposite to the concave portion 113 of the third bite portion 11, the transition portion 312 of the first bite portion 31 is opposite to the transition portion 112 of the third bite portion 11, and the concave portion 313 of the first bite portion 31 is opposite to the convex portion 111 of the third bite portion 11, thereby completing the bite of the wire 200.
[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 have a first accommodating gap, the minimum distance D between the convex portion 311 of the first bite portion 31 and the concave portion 113 of the third bite portion 11 is greater than or less than the minimum distance d between the transition portion 312 of the first bite portion 31 and the transition portion 112 of the third bite portion 11, thereby causing different portions of the bitten wire 200 to be subjected to different bite forces within a bite portion cycle. Along the extension direction of the wire 200, the bite forces applied to different portions of the bitten wire 200 change periodically, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the wire 200 and the connector.
[0076] Optionally, the ratio of the minimum distance D between the convex portion 311 of the first bite portion 31 and the concave portion 113 of the third bite portion 11 to the minimum distance d between the transition portion 312 of the first bite portion 31 and the transition portion 112 of the third bite portion 11 has a functional relationship with the structural parameters of the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11. For example, the angle between the transition portion 312 of the first bite portion 31 and the concave portion 313 of the first bite portion 31 is 45°. At this time, the ratio of the minimum distance D between the convex portion 311 of the first bite portion 31 and the concave portion 113 of the third bite portion 11 to the minimum distance d between the transition portion 312 of the first bite portion 31 and the transition portion 112 of the third bite portion 11 is
[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, when the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21 have a first accommodation gap, the minimum distance between the convex portion of the second engaging portion 32 and the concave portion of the fourth engaging portion 21 is greater than or less than the minimum distance between the transition portion of the second engaging portion 32 and the transition portion of the fourth engaging portion 21. The structures of the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21 can refer to the above-described structures of the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11, and will not be repeated here.
[0078] In one embodiment of the present application, the first distance and / or the second distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 is greater than or less than the third distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11; the first distance is the minimum distance between the transition portion 312 in the first bite portion 31 and the transition portion 112 in the third bite portion 11, the second distance is the minimum distance between the convex portion 311 in the first bite portion 31 and the concave portion 113 in the third bite portion 11, and the third distance is the minimum distance between the concave portion 313 in the first bite portion 31 and the convex portion 111 in the third bite portion 11.
[0079] In one embodiment of the present application, the first distance and / or the second distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 is greater than or less than the third distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21; the first distance is the minimum distance between the transition portion in the second bite portion 32 and the transition portion in the fourth bite portion 21, the second distance is the minimum distance between the convex portion in the second bite portion 32 and the concave portion in the fourth bite portion 21, and the third distance is the minimum distance between the concave portion in the second bite portion 32 and the convex portion in the fourth bite portion 21.
[0080] In one embodiment of the present application, in the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11, the ratio of the first distance to the second distance is not greater than the set threshold; in the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21, the ratio of the first distance to the second distance is not greater than the set threshold.
[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, in the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11, the ratio of the first distance to the second distance is not greater than a set threshold. Figure 4 As shown, the ratio of the minimum distance between the convex portion 311 of the first bite portion 31 and the concave portion 113 of the third bite portion 11 to the minimum distance between the transition portion 312 of the first bite portion 31 and the transition portion 112 of the third bite portion 11 is not greater than a set threshold value, thereby preventing the wire 200 bitten by the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 from being locally subjected to excessive force, resulting in the wire 200 being easily broken locally, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the wire 200 and the connector.
[0082] Optionally, in the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 , the ratio of the first distance to the second distance is not greater than 2.
[0083] Similarly, the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 can refer to the description of the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11, which will not be repeated here.
[0084] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion 311 of the first bite portion 31 and the concave portion 313 of the first bite portion 31 both include a straight line segment parallel to the first direction, and the cross-sectional shape of the transition portion 312 of the first bite portion 31 includes a straight line segment at a certain angle to the first direction, that is, in the embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional shape of the first bite portion 31 includes a trapezoid.
[0085] Alternatively, as Figure 6a As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the first engaging portion 31 includes a wave shape, such as Figure 6b As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the first engaging portion 31 includes a battlement shape.
[0086] In the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional shapes of the first bite portion 31, the second bite portion 32, the third bite portion 11 and the fourth bite portion 21 are not limited to the several shapes mentioned above. Those skilled in the art can set the first bite portion 31, the second bite portion 32, the third bite portion 11 and the fourth bite portion 21 with different cross-sectional shapes according to actual needs. It is only necessary to ensure that the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 match and bite the first conductor, and the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 match and bite the second conductor.
[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, the conductive member 30 includes a cutting portion 33 , which is disposed on the same side as the first biting portion 31 or the second biting portion 32 .
[0088] It is understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 8 As shown, taking a wire 200 as an example, both the first and second conductors include a core 201 and an insulation layer 202 surrounding the core 201. Typically, the core 201 is completely surrounded by the insulation layer 202. When connecting the wire 200 to a connector, a wire stripping operation is performed using an auxiliary tool such as a wire stripper to partially remove the insulation layer 202, exposing a portion of the core 201 so that the core 201 can be electrically connected to the conductive member 30 of the connector.
[0089] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the conductive member 30 further includes a cutting portion 33. Optionally, the cutting portion 33 is provided on the same side as the second bite portion 32, that is, the cutting portion 33 and the second bite portion 32 are located on the same side of the conductive member 30. By providing the cutting portion 33 in the conductive member 30, the operator can complete the wire stripping operation of the wire 200 through the connector without the aid of auxiliary tools such as wire strippers, thereby reducing the tools carried by the operator. Figure 7 As shown, the worker can complete the wire stripping operation of the wire 200 through the connector.
[0090] In some special operating environments, for example, for dimming glass equipment and BIPV (Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic) products installed in buildings, operators need to work at high altitudes to complete the installation of the corresponding products. The use of the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application can reduce the number of auxiliary tools carried, thereby reducing the burden on operators and the risk of tools falling, thereby improving the safety of the installation process of such products.
[0091] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the material used to make the conductive part 200 may include a magnetic material, and accordingly, the material used to make the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 may also include a magnetic material, so that the conductive part 200 can be magnetically connected to the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, thereby reducing the risk of the conductive part 200 falling and further improving the safety of the installation process of such products.
[0092] In one embodiment of the present application, the cutting portion 33 is located at one end of the conductive member 30, the first surface of the cutting portion 33 is coplanar with the end surface of the conductive member 30, and the angle between the cutting surface of the cutting portion 33 and the first surface is an acute angle.
[0093] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 3 As shown, the cutting portion 33 is located at one end of the conductive member 30, and the first surface of the cutting portion 33 is coplanar with the end surface of the conductive member 30 at that end. This facilitates the operator to complete the wire stripping operation of the wire 200, reduces the probability of the cutting portion 33 contacting the wire core 201 of the wire 200, and reduces the risk of the cutting portion 33 cutting the wire core 201. It also simplifies the structure of the conductive member 30, facilitating the manufacture of the conductive member 30.
[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the angle between the cutting surface of the cutting portion 33 and the first surface is an acute angle, thereby ensuring the sharpness of the cutting portion 33 and facilitating the cutting of the insulating layer 202 of the wire 200. Optionally, the angle between the cutting surface of the cutting portion 33 and the first surface is not less than 10° and not greater than 30°, thereby ensuring that the cutting portion 33 has a certain structural strength while ensuring the sharpness of the cutting portion 33, thereby ensuring the service life of the cutting portion 33.
[0095] In one embodiment of the present application, along a direction perpendicular to the first direction, a size of the cutting portion 33 is smaller than a size of the first biting portion 31 or the second biting portion 32 .
[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, along a direction perpendicular to the first direction, the size of the cutting portion 33 is smaller than the size of the first bite portion 31 or the second bite portion 32. The following description is based on an example in which the cutting portion 33 and the second bite portion 32 are arranged on the same side.
[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, when the cutting portion 33 and the second bite portion 32 are arranged on the same side, the size of the cutting portion 33 is smaller than the size of the second bite portion 32 along the direction perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the height of the cutting portion 33 is smaller than the height of the second bite portion 32. Therefore, when the second bite portion 31 and the fourth bite portion 21 bite the wire core 201 of the second conductor, the probability of the cutting portion 33 contacting the fourth bite portion 21 can be reduced, and the probability of the cutting portion 33 cutting the fourth bite portion 21 can be reduced, thereby reducing the probability of the cutting portion 33 causing the second shell 20 to rupture, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connector.
[0098] Similarly, in the embodiment of the present application, when the cutting portion 33 and the first bite portion 31 are arranged on the same side, the size of the cutting portion 33 is smaller than the size of the first bite portion 31 along the direction perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the height of the cutting portion 33 is smaller than the height of the first bite portion 31. Therefore, when the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 bite the wire core 201 of the first conductor, the probability of the cutting portion 33 contacting the third bite portion 11 can be reduced, and the probability of the cutting portion 33 cutting the third bite portion 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the probability of the cutting portion 33 causing the first shell 10 to rupture, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connector.
[0099] In one embodiment of the present application, the outer surface of the edge of the conductive member 30 facing the wire 200 is an arc surface, so that during the process of biting the wire 200, the edge of the conductive member 30 in contact with the wire 200 can be prevented from damaging the wire core 201, thereby reducing the probability of damage or even breakage of the wire core 201.
[0100] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the outer surfaces of all edges of the conductive member 30 except the cutting portion 33 are arc surfaces, so that during the installation process, the operator does not need to pay special attention to the installation direction of the conductive member 30, thereby improving the installation efficiency.
[0101] In one embodiment of the present application, at least one end wall of the first shell 10 is provided with a first groove 12, and at least one end wall of the second shell 20 is provided with a second groove 22; the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 enclose to form a wire hole.
[0102] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the two opposite end walls of the first housing 10 are both provided with a first groove 12, and correspondingly, the two opposite end walls of the second housing 20 are both provided with a second groove 22 that matches the first groove 12. When the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are connected, the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 enclose a wire hole for the wire 200 to pass through. Figures 8-10 As shown, one wire 200 enters and exits from one wire hole, and another wire 200 enters and exits from another wire hole.
[0103] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can set the number of wire holes according to actual needs. When only one wire hole is needed, it is only necessary to set a first groove 12 in the first shell 10, and correspondingly, a second groove 22 is set in the second shell 20. The first groove 12 and the second groove 22 form a wire hole for two wires 200 to enter and exit.
[0104] Those skilled in the art can determine the sizes of the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 according to the size of the wire 200, so that when the wire 200 is connected to the connector, the wire 200 can block the wire hole, thereby ensuring the sealing after the connection.
[0105] In one embodiment of the present application, the axis of the wire hole is located between the first bite portion 31 and the second bite portion 32 .
[0106] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the axis of the wire hole is located between the first bite portion 31 and the second bite portion 32, so that the bite portion and the unbite portion of the bitten wire 200 are not in the same plane, and the end wall of the first shell 10, the end wall of the second shell 20 and the conductive member 30 play the role of limiting and pressing the unbite portion of the wire 200, thereby further ensuring the connection reliability of the wire 200 and the connector, enhancing the pull-out resistance of the wire 200, and further enhancing the connection reliability of the wire 200 and the connector.
[0107] In one embodiment of the present application, locking portions 13 are provided on two opposite side walls of the first shell 10, and the free ends 131 of the two oppositely arranged locking portions 13 are close to each other, and the free ends 131 engage with the bottom wall of the second shell 20; limiting portions 23 are provided at both ends of the side walls of the second shell 20 that contact the locking portions 13.
[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, the first shell 10 and the second shell 30 are detachably connected, so that the operator can complete the installation and disassembly of the first shell 10 and the second shell 30 without the aid of other auxiliary tools, thereby facilitating the operator to complete the electrical connection and disassembly of the connector and the wire 200, thereby improving the operator's work efficiency.
[0109] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two opposite side walls of the first shell 10 are provided with a locking portion 13, and a free end 131 is provided at one end of the locking portion 13 away from the side wall. The free end 131 of the locking portion 13 of one side wall is close to the free end 131 of the locking portion 13 of the other side wall, so that the free end 131 engages with the bottom wall of the second shell 20.
[0110] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the locking portion 13 has a certain elasticity, so that the operator can complete the fixed connection between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 by pressing.
[0111] During the implementation of this application, Figure 2 As shown, limiting portions 23 are provided at both ends of the side walls where the second shell 20 contacts the locking portion 13. When the locking portion 13 of the first shell 10 is engaged with the second shell 20, the locking portion 13 is located between the limiting portions 23, thereby preventing the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 from moving relative to each other along the first direction.
[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, the locking portion 13 is integrally formed with the first shell 10 , and the limiting portion 23 is integrally formed with the second shell 20 .
[0113] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application provides an electrical device, which includes: a panel, an electrical component and a connector provided in any one of the above embodiments; the panel is connected to a first conductor, the electrical component is connected to a second conductor, the first biting portion and the third biting portion of the connector bite the first conductor, and the second biting portion and the fourth biting portion of the connector bite the second conductor.
[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the first conductor and the second conductor may include any one of a wire, a conductive foil, and a flexible printed circuit board.
[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, since the electrical equipment adopts any one of the connectors provided in the aforementioned embodiments, its principles and technical effects can be referred to in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0116] In one embodiment of the present application, taking the wire 200 as an example, the first conductor and the second conductor both include a core 201 and an insulating layer 202 wrapping the core 201; at least part of the core 201 is exposed, the core 201 of the first conductor is bitten by the first biting portion 31 and the third biting portion 11, and the core 201 of the second conductor is bitten by the second biting portion 32 and the fourth biting portion 21; the cutting portion 33 is located at an end of the first biting portion 31 away from the insulating layer 202 of the first conductor, or the cutting portion 33 is located at an end of the second biting portion 32 away from the insulating layer 202 of the second conductor.
[0117] In the embodiment of this application, Figures 8-10 As shown, in order to ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductor and the second conductor and the connector, the exposed wire core 201 in the first conductor and the second conductor is engaged by the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11, and by the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21, and the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11, and the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21 do not engage with the insulating layer 202 of the first conductor and the second conductor.
[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, when the cutting portion 33 and the second engaging portion 32 are arranged on the same side, as shown in FIG. Figures 8-10 As shown, the cutting portion 33 is located at one end of the second bite portion 32 away from the insulating layer 202 of the second conductor, so that when the second bite portion 31 and the fourth bite portion 21 bite the core 201 of the second conductor, the cutting portion 33 can be avoided from contacting the core 201, and the cutting portion 33 can be prevented from cutting the core 201, thereby reducing the probability of damage or even breakage of the core 201, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the wire 200 and the connector.
[0119] Those skilled in the art understand that when the cutting portion 33 is arranged on the same side as the first bite portion 31, the cutting portion 33 is located at an end of the first bite portion 31 away from the insulating layer 202 of the first conductor, thereby avoiding contact between the cutting portion 33 and the wire core 201, preventing the cutting portion 33 from cutting the wire core 201, and reducing the chance of damage or even breakage of the wire core 201.
[0120] In one embodiment of the present application, the sum of the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 and the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 is not greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the first conductor and the second conductor.
[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, in the connector, the sum of the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11, and the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 can be equal to the sum of the dimensions of the bite-engaged first conductor and the second conductor along the second direction, or can be slightly smaller than the sum of the dimensions of the bite-engaged first conductor and the second conductor along the second direction, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the connector and the first conductor and the second conductor, and ensuring the connection reliability of the connector.
[0122] Optionally, when the first conductor and the second conductor are wires, the dimensions of the first conductor and the second conductor along the second direction are the diameters of the first conductor and the second conductor; when the first conductor and the second conductor are conductive foils or flexible circuit boards, the dimensions of the first conductor and the second conductor along the second direction are the thicknesses of the first conductor and the second conductor.
[0123] In the embodiment of the present application, by modifying the first housing 10 or the second housing 20 to have different dimensions, the connector can be adapted to accommodate wires 200 of different dimensions. The dimensions of the first housing 10 refer to the dimension of the first housing 10 perpendicular to the first direction, i.e., the height of the first housing 10, or the distance from the lowest point of the third engaging portion 11 in the first housing 10 to the upper surface of the end wall of the first housing 10. This allows the sum of the minimum distance between the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11, and the minimum distance between the second engaging portion 32 and the fourth engaging portion 21 to be varied.
[0124] Optionally, the inventors of the present application have verified that, without changing the size of the conductive part 200, for the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 both having a height of 5 mm, the sum of the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 and the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 is 0.8 mm, that is, if the two wires 200 have the same size, the minimum distance between the first bite portion 31 and the third bite portion 11 is 0.4 mm, and the minimum distance between the second bite portion 32 and the fourth bite portion 21 is 0.4 mm.
[0125] Without changing the dimensions of the conductive member 200, for a first housing 10 with a height of 5.4 mm and a second housing 20 with a height of 5 mm, the sum of the minimum distance between the first and third interlocking portions 31 and 11, and the minimum distance between the second and fourth interlocking portions 32 and 21 is 1.2 mm. In other words, if the two conductors 200 have the same dimensions, the minimum distance between the first and third interlocking portions 31 and 11 is 0.6 mm, and the minimum distance between the second and fourth interlocking portions 32 and 21 is 0.6 mm. If the two conductors 200 have different dimensions, in one case, the minimum distance between the first and third interlocking portions 31 and 11 is 0.8 mm, and the minimum distance between the second and fourth interlocking portions 32 and 21 is 0.4 mm.
[0126] Those skilled in the art understand that, for a switchable glass device, especially a switchable glass substrate structure in the switchable glass device, the lead wires are mostly in the shape of a sheet.
[0127] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 9 As shown, the connector is used to connect two wires of different shapes. Specifically, the connector is used to connect a first wire 200a and a second wire 200b. The first wire 200a is cylindrical and the second wire 200b is sheet-shaped. Optionally, the second wire 200b is a conductive foil. Optionally, the conductive foil is made of a metal material with good ductility, such as aluminum, copper, or silver. Figure 10 As shown, the connector is used to connect two second wires 200b, such as Figure 8 As shown, the connector is used to connect two first-type wires 200a, so that the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used for electrical connection of different electrical components in electrical equipment.
[0128] To facilitate understanding of the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, the following description will be made in conjunction with the steps for connecting the connector and the wire 200 .
[0129] First, place a wire 200 in the first housing 10 to determine the length of the wire segment to be stripped, and then use the cutting portion 33 of the conductive member 30 to complete the stripping work of the stripping segment so that the wire core 201 is exposed. Place another wire 200 in the second housing 20 to determine the length of the wire segment to be stripped, such as Figure 11a As shown, the cutting portion 33 of the conductive member 30 is then used to complete the wire stripping operation of the wire stripping section, so that the wire core 201 is exposed.
[0130] Then, the wire core 201 of another wire 200 that has completed the stripping operation is placed in the second housing 20, and the insulation layer 202 of the wire 200 is stuck in the second groove 22, as shown in FIG. Figure 11bAs shown, this ensures that the core 201 of the wire 200 will not be exposed after the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are fixedly connected.
[0131] Next, the conductive member 30 is placed in the second housing 20 so that the conductive member 30 is pressed against the core 201 of another conductive wire 200, as shown in FIG. Figure 11c shown.
[0132] Then, a core 201 of a wire 200 is placed on the conductive member 30, and the insulating layer 202 of the wire 200 is stuck in another second groove 22 of the second housing 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 11d Next, the first shell 10 is engaged with the second shell 20, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are fixedly connected, so that one wire 200 is electrically connected to another wire 200, and the result is as shown. Figure 11e The structure shown.
[0133] In one embodiment of the present application, the panel includes any one of a display panel, a dimming device, and a solar panel.
[0134] Optionally, the electrical device is a display device, the panel includes a display panel, and the connector is used to achieve electrical connection between the display panel and electrical components such as a driver IC. The connector can also be used to achieve electrical connection between multiple display panels.
[0135] Optionally, the panel includes a dimming device, and the connector is used to electrically connect the dimming device to electrical components such as a driver IC. The connector can also be used to electrically connect multiple dimming devices. Optionally, the dimming device includes a dimming rigid substrate, such as a dimming glass substrate; or a dimming flexible substrate, such as a dimming PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) substrate.
[0136] Optionally, the electrical device is a solar power generation device, the panel includes a solar panel, and the connector is used to achieve electrical connection between the solar panel and electrical components such as a junction box and a junction box. The connector can also be used to achieve electrical connection between multiple solar panels.
[0137] By applying the embodiments of the present application, at least the following beneficial effects can be achieved:
[0138] 1. In the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, the conductive member 30 and the first shell 10 are used to clamp and fix the first conductor, and the conductive member 30 and the second shell 20 are used to clamp and fix the second conductor. Since the conductive member 30 can move in the cavity enclosed by the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, in particular, it can move in the direction from the first shell 10 to the second shell 20, the size of the gap between the first shell 10 and the conductive member 30 and between the conductive member 20 and the second shell 10 can be adaptively adjusted, so that the first conductor and the second conductor are subjected to the same clamping force, so that the connector can connect and fix the first conductor and the second conductor of different thicknesses, thereby ensuring the connection strength of the first conductor and the second conductor to the connector, ensuring the connection reliability, and improving the adaptability of the connector. Moreover, since the first bite portion 31, the second bite portion 32, the third bite portion 11 and the fourth bite portion 21 are provided, the connector fixes the first conductor and the second conductor by bite, and the contact area between each bite portion and the conductor is large, which increases the area where the conductor is fixed, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the conductor and the connector and ensuring the connection reliability between the conductor and the connector.
[0139] 2. In the embodiment of the present application, along the extension direction of the first accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the first engaging portion 31 and the third engaging portion 11 includes a first perpendicular distance and a second perpendicular distance. That is, the minimum distances between different portions of the first and third engaging portions 31 and 11 vary, thereby causing different portions of the engaged wire 200 to experience different degrees of engagement force. This enhances the connection strength between the first and third engaging portions 31 and 11 and the wire 200, thereby ensuring and enhancing the reliability of the connection between the wire 200 and the connector. Along the extension direction of the second accommodating gap, the minimum distance between the second and fourth engaging portions 32 and 21 includes the first perpendicular distance and the second perpendicular distance. This enhances the connection strength between the second and fourth engaging portions 32 and 21 and the wire 200, thereby ensuring and enhancing the reliability of the connection between the wire 200 and the connector.
[0140] 3. In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a cutting portion 33 in the conductive member 30, the operator can complete the wire stripping operation of the wire 200 through the connector without the aid of auxiliary tools such as wire strippers, thereby reducing the tools carried by the operator and improving the installation efficiency.
