Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of connectors, and particularly to a female connector and a connector assembly. Background Art

[0002] Existing connectors include a housing body which has a receiving cavity for installing a cable. The cable is inserted into the receiving cavity to form a conductor connection member. To facilitate the insertion of the cable, the inner diameter of the receiving cavity is usually designed to be relatively large, such that after the cable is inserted into the receiving cavity, it is easy to move within the receiving cavity, resulting in unstable connection of the connector and causing the connector to be unable to stably transmit current.

[0003] The foregoing description is provided to give general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main object of the present invention is to provide a female connector and a connector assembly, aiming to solve the problem that existing connectors cannot stably transmit current.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a female connector, which includes:

[0006] A female socket, which is made of an insulating material and has a first receiving cavity. Opposite ends of the female socket are provided with a first female seat interface and a second female seat interface that communicate with the first receiving cavity;

[0007] A conductive connection terminal, which is disposed in the first receiving cavity and has a second receiving cavity. Opposite ends of the conductive connection terminal are provided with a first terminal interface and a second terminal interface that communicate with the second receiving cavity. The first terminal interface is disposed close to the first female seat interface and communicates with the first female seat interface; the first terminal interface is for inserting a male conductive terminal of a male connector, and a connection portion for connecting with a conductive member is provided on the conductive connection terminal;

[0008] A ferrule assembly, which includes a conductive outer ferrule assembly and a conductive inner ferrule assembly disposed in the second receiving cavity;

When the male conductive terminal is inserted into the ferrule assembly along the first terminal interface, the driving device drives the pushing component to reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity. The pushing component pushes against the ferrule assembly or separates from the ferrule assembly, so that the ferrule assembly has a clamping state for clamping the male conductive terminal and a releasing state for releasing the male conductive terminal. In the clamping state, the conductive outer ring assembly and the conductive inner ring assembly are pressed against each other.

The elastic component elastically deforms by moving and abutting against the ferrule assembly, so that the ferrule assembly can be switched between the clamping state and the releasing state.

[0014] In one embodiment, the pushing member is rotatably disposed in the second accommodating cavity and the through hole. The driving device includes a driving motor, and the driving motor is configured to drive the pushing member to rotate so that the pushing member can reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity.

The elastic member is disposed between the top cylinder and the pushing member. The top cylinder is used to push the collar assembly. An avoidance groove for avoiding the male end conductive terminal is provided at one end of the top cylinder facing the collar assembly. A first limiting convex portion is provided at one end of the top cylinder facing the pushing member. A second limiting convex portion is provided at one end of the pushing member facing the collar assembly. One end of the elastic member is sleeved on the first limiting convex portion, and the other end of the elastic member is sleeved on the second limiting convex portion.

[0018] In one embodiment, the female end connector further includes a female end conductive terminal for connecting to a wire. A third female socket interface communicating with the first accommodation cavity is provided on the female end socket. The third female socket interface and the second female socket interface are located on the same side of the female end socket. The female end conductive terminal is disposed in the first accommodation cavity and is located at the third female socket interface. The connecting portion of the female end conductive terminal and the conductive connection terminal is detachably connected. The female end conductive terminal is spaced apart from the insulating base.

[0019] In one embodiment, the second accommodation cavity of the conductive connection terminal includes a first cavity section and a second cavity section communicating with the first cavity section. The cross-sectional area of the first cavity section is smaller than that of the second cavity section. A limiting portion for limiting the collar assembly is provided at one end of the first cavity section away from the second cavity section. The first terminal interface is provided on the limiting portion and communicates with the first cavity section. The collar assembly is disposed in the first cavity section. The pushing assembly is disposed in the first cavity section and the second cavity section and is connected to the driving device in the through hole.

[0020] In one embodiment, the conductive connection terminal includes a first conductive section and a second conductive section connected to the first conductive section. The second accommodation cavity penetrates through the first conductive section and the second conductive section. The cross-sectional area of the first conductive section is smaller than that of the second conductive section. An annular groove is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the second conductive section. The female end connector further includes a first elastic ring and a second elastic ring. The first elastic ring is sleeved on the first conductive section. The second elastic ring is sleeved on the second conductive section and is located in the annular groove. Both the first elastic ring and the second elastic ring are in contact with the inner peripheral wall of the first accommodation cavity.

[0021] In one embodiment, the conductive outer ring assembly includes a plurality of outer conductive rings, and the conductive inner ring assembly includes a plurality of inner conductive rings. The plurality of outer conductive rings and the plurality of inner conductive rings are alternately arranged along the depth direction of the second accommodation cavity. An outer inclined surface is formed on the outer wall of the inner conductive ring facing the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodation cavity, and an inner inclined surface is formed on the inner wall of the outer conductive ring facing away from the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodation cavity. The inner inclined surface and the outer inclined surface are adapted to abut against each other. Both the outer conductive ring and the inner conductive ring are provided with fractures.

[0022] The present invention further provides a connector assembly, which includes a male connector and the female connector as described above. The male connector includes a male socket and male conductive terminals provided on the male socket. The male socket is inserted and connected with the female socket so that the male conductive terminals can be inserted into the ferrule assembly along the first terminal interface.

[0023] The female connector of the present invention includes a female socket, conductive connection terminals, a ferrule assembly, an insulating seat, a pushing assembly and a driving device. The conductive connection terminals are provided with connection portions for connecting with conductive members. The conductive members can be cables or plug-in terminals of cables. The driving device can drive the pushing assembly to reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodation cavity so that the ferrule assembly has a clamping state for clamping the male conductive terminals and a releasing state for releasing the male conductive terminals. In this way, the function of automatically switching between the clamping state and the releasing state of the ferrule assembly is realized, which is beneficial to improving the automation degree of the female connector. The male conductive terminals and the ferrule assembly are detachably inserted and connected. When the male conductive terminals are inserted into the ferrule assembly along the first terminal interface and the ferrule assembly is in the releasing state, the conductive inner ring assembly of the ferrule assembly releases the male conductive terminals, and at least part of the inner peripheral wall of the conductive inner ring assembly is spaced from the male conductive terminals. At this time, the male conductive terminals are not clamped in the ferrule assembly, which is convenient for taking out and inserting the male conductive terminals. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the contact wear between the male conductive terminals and the conductive inner ring assembly of the ferrule assembly. When the male conductive terminals are inserted into the ferrule assembly along the first terminal interface and the ferrule assembly is in the clamping state, the conductive outer ring assembly and the conductive inner ring assembly are pressed against each other. The conductive inner ring assembly contracts inward and clamps the male conductive terminals, and the conductive outer ring assembly expands outward and abuts and fits tightly with the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodation cavity. In this way, the male conductive terminals can be stably installed in the second accommodation cavity. A large clamping force is formed between the male conductive terminals and the conductive connection terminals through the ferrule assembly. The connection between the male conductive terminals and the conductive connection terminals is stable and has the effects of anti-vibration and anti-impact, so that the current input by the male conductive terminals can be stably output from the conductive members after passing through the ferrule assembly and the conductive connection terminals. In this way, the function of the female connector for stably transmitting current is realized. Description of the Drawings

[0044] The present invention provides a female connector and a connector assembly including the female connector, and the female connector can solve the problem that the existing connector cannot stably transmit current.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7, in an embodiment of the female terminal connector 10 of the present invention, the female terminal connector 10 includes a female socket 100, a conductive connection terminal 200, a collar assembly 300, a pushing assembly 400, a driving device 500 and an insulating seat 700. The female socket 100 is made of insulating material. The female socket 100 has a first accommodating cavity 110. Opposite ends of the female socket 100 are provided with a first female socket interface 120 and a second female socket interface 130 that communicate with the first accommodating cavity 110. The conductive connection terminal 200 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 110. The conductive connection terminal 200 has a second accommodating cavity 210. Opposite ends of the conductive connection terminal 200 are provided with a first terminal interface 220 and a second terminal interface 230 that communicate with the second accommodating cavity 210. The first terminal interface 220 is disposed close to the first female socket interface 120 and communicates with the first female socket interface. The first terminal interface 220 is for inserting the male conductive terminal 21 of the male terminal connector 20. A connection portion 240 for connecting with a conductive member is provided on the conductive connection terminal 200 (such as Figure 11as shown); the ferrule assembly 300 includes a conductive outer ring assembly 310 and a conductive inner ring assembly 320 disposed in the second accommodating cavity 210; an insulating seat 700 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 110 and located between the conductive connection terminal 200 and the second female socket interface 130. The insulating seat 700 has a through hole 710 penetrating the insulating seat 700 along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity 210. The second terminal interface 230 and the second female socket interface 130 are communicated through the through hole 710; a pushing assembly 400 is movably disposed in the through hole 710 and the second accommodating cavity 210. The pushing assembly 400 is disposed between the ferrule assembly 300 and the second female socket interface 130; a driving device 500 is disposed at the second female socket interface 130. The driving device 500 is configured to drive the pushing assembly 400 to reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity 210; the male conductive terminal 21 is detachably inserted and connected with the ferrule assembly 300. When the male conductive terminal 21 is inserted into the ferrule assembly 300 along the first terminal interface 220, the driving device 500 drives the pushing assembly 400 to reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity 210. The pushing assembly 400 pushes the ferrule assembly 300 or separates from the ferrule assembly 300, so that the ferrule assembly 300 has a clamping state of clamping the male conductive terminal 21 and a releasing state of releasing the male conductive terminal 21; in the clamping state, the conductive outer ring assembly 310 and the conductive inner ring assembly 320 are pressed against each other. The conductive inner ring assembly 320 contracts inward to clamp the male conductive terminal 21, and the conductive outer ring assembly 310 expands outward and abuts tightly against the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodating cavity 210; in the releasing state, the conductive outer ring assembly 310 and the conductive inner ring assembly 320 are reset to the initial position. At least a part of the outer peripheral wall of the conductive outer ring assembly 310 is spaced from the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodating cavity 210, and at least a part of the inner peripheral wall of the conductive inner ring assembly 320 is spaced from the male conductive terminal 21 to release the male conductive terminal 21.

[0046] It can be understood that the female end socket 100 is made of an insulating material, such as a plastic material; the conductive connection terminal 200 and the collar assembly 300 are both made of a conductive material, such as a conductive metal material, specifically such as red copper, or brass, or phosphor bronze, etc., which are not specifically limited herein. The insulating seat 700 can be made of a plastic material. The driving device 500 is provided on one side of the insulating seat 700, and the conductive connection terminal 200 and the collar assembly 300 are provided on the other side of the insulating seat 700. The insulating seat 700 is used to reduce the influence of the driving device 500 during operation on the conductive connection terminal 200, so that the current can be stably transmitted along the collar assembly 300 and the conductive connection terminal 200. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the current transmission on the female end connector 10.

[0047] The female end socket 100 includes a female end socket body 150 and a female end socket cover 160. The female end socket cover 160 is detachably connected to the female end socket body 150. In this embodiment, the female end socket cover 160 is connected to the female end socket body 150 by screws. The female end socket cover 160 covers the female end socket body 150. The female end socket cover 160 and the female end socket body 150 enclose a first accommodation cavity 110. The first female socket interface 120 is provided on the female end socket body 150, and the second female socket interface 130 is provided on the female end socket cover 160.

[0048] Furthermore, a connection portion 240 for connecting with a conductive member is provided on the conductive connection terminal 200. The conductive member can be a cable. Of course, the conductive member can also be a plug-in terminal of the cable. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plug-in terminal of the cable is the female end conductive terminal 600, and the female end conductive terminal 600 is used to connect with the cable, thereby facilitating the quick installation of the cable. The driving device 500 can be a driving motor 510, or a driving cylinder, or any other device that can drive the pushing assembly 400 to reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodation cavity 210, which is not limited herein.

[0049] Furthermore, the conductive connection terminal 200 is provided in the first accommodation cavity 110, that is, the second accommodation cavity 210 communicates with the first accommodation cavity 110. The first terminal interface 220 is disposed close to the first female socket interface 120 and communicates with the first female socket interface. When the collar assembly 300 is in the released state, the male end conductive terminal 21 of the male end connector 20 can sequentially pass through the first female socket interface 120 and the first terminal interface 220 and then be inserted into the collar assembly 300.

[0050] When the male conductive terminal 21 is inserted into the ferrule assembly 300, the driving device 500 drives the pushing assembly 400 to move towards the ferrule assembly 300 along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity 210 so as to push the ferrule assembly 300. At this time, the conductive outer ring assembly 310 and the conductive inner ring assembly 320 are mutually extruded. The conductive inner ring assembly 320 contracts inward to clamp the male conductive terminal 21, and the conductive outer ring assembly 310 expands outward and abuts and fits tightly with the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodating cavity 210, so that the ferrule assembly 300 is switched from the release state to the clamping state. In this way, the stable connection between the male conductive terminal 21, the ferrule assembly 300 and the conductive connection terminal 200 is realized, so that the current can be stably transmitted along the male conductive terminal 21, the ferrule assembly 300, the conductive connection terminal 200 and the conductive part, thereby realizing the function of the female connector 10 to stably transmit current.

[0051] The female terminal connector 10 of the present invention includes a female socket 100, a conductive connection terminal 200, a collar assembly 300, a pushing assembly 400, a driving device 500 and an insulating base 700. A connection portion 240 for connecting with a conductive member is provided on the conductive connection terminal 200. The conductive member can be a cable or a plug-in terminal of a cable. The driving device 500 can drive the pushing assembly 400 to reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodation cavity 210, so that the collar assembly 300 has a clamping state for clamping the male terminal 21 and a releasing state for releasing the male terminal 21. In this way, the function of automatically switching between the clamping state and the releasing state of the collar assembly 300 is realized, which is beneficial to improving the automation degree of the female terminal connector 10. The male terminal 21 and the collar assembly 300 are detachably inserted and connected. When the male terminal 21 is inserted into the collar assembly 300 along the first terminal interface 220 and the collar assembly 300 is in the releasing state, the conductive inner ring assembly 320 of the collar assembly 300 releases the male terminal 21, and at least part of the inner peripheral wall of the conductive inner ring assembly 320 is spaced from the male terminal 21. At this time, the male terminal 21 is not clamped in the collar assembly 300, which is convenient for the removal and insertion of the male terminal 21. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the contact wear between the male terminal 21 and the conductive inner ring assembly 320 of the collar assembly 300. When the male terminal 21 is inserted into the collar assembly 300 along the first terminal interface 220 and the collar assembly 300 is in the clamping state, the conductive outer ring assembly 310 and the conductive inner ring assembly 320 are pressed against each other. The conductive inner ring assembly 320 contracts inward to clamp the male terminal 21, and the conductive outer ring assembly 310 expands outward and abuts tightly against the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodation cavity 210. In this way, the male terminal 21 can be stably installed in the second accommodation cavity 210. A large clamping force is formed between the male terminal 21 and the conductive connection terminal 200 through the collar assembly 300. The connection between the male terminal 21 and the conductive connection terminal 200 is stable and has the effects of anti-vibration and anti-impact, so that the current input by the male terminal 21 can be stably output from the conductive member after passing through the collar assembly 300 and the conductive connection terminal 200. In this way, the function of the female terminal connector 10 for stably transmitting current is realized.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10, in one embodiment, the pushing component 400 includes a pusher 410 and an elastic component 420. The pusher 410 is disposed in the second accommodation cavity 210 and the through hole 710. The pusher 410 is connected to the driving device 500. The elastic component 420 is disposed in the second accommodation cavity 210 and is located between the collar assembly 300 and the pusher 410. The driving device 500 is configured to drive the pusher 410 to move and drive the elastic component 420 to reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodation cavity 210. The elastic component 420 elastically deforms by moving into contact with the collar assembly 300, so that the collar assembly 300 can be switched between the clamping state and the release state.

[0053] It can be understood that there are various ways for the driving device 500 to drive the pusher 410 to move. For example, but not limited to: the driving device 500 drives the pusher 410 to rotate, or the driving device 500 drives the pusher 410 to move linearly. By providing the elastic component 420, the elastic component 420 can elastically deform when it comes into contact with the collar assembly 300. This is beneficial for providing a buffer space for the movement of the pusher 410, avoiding the situation where the driving force provided by the driving device 500 is too large, resulting in an excessive force acting on the collar assembly 300 by the pushing component 400 and damaging the collar assembly 300, thereby ensuring the stability of the collar assembly 300 when switching between the clamping state and the release state.

[0054] In addition, the elastic component 420 also provides an assembly error space for the pushing and cooperating between the pusher 410 and the collar assembly 300. That is, when the pusher 410 and the collar assembly 300 are installed in the second accommodation cavity 210 of the conductive connection terminal 200, if there is an assembly error between the pusher 410 and the collar assembly 300 and the conductive connection terminal 200, and there is a certain deviation between the assembly position of the pusher 410 and the collar assembly 300 and the preset position. Since the elastic component 420 can elastically deform, the pusher 410 can still drive the elastic component 420 to move when moving, until the elastic component 420 comes into contact with the collar assembly 300 and applies a force to the collar assembly 300 to ensure that the collar assembly 300 can be switched between the clamping state and the release state. Thus, by providing the elastic component 420 between the pusher 410 and the collar assembly 300, it is beneficial to improve the reliability of the female terminal connector 10.

[0055] In one embodiment, the pushing member 410 is rotatably disposed in the second accommodating cavity 210 and the through hole 710. The driving device 500 includes a driving motor 510 for driving the pushing member 410 to rotate so that the pushing member 410 can reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity 210. With such a setting, the torque of the driving motor 510 driving the pushing member 410 to rotate is converted into the thrust of the pushing member 410 moving linearly. Since the driving motor 510 can stably output torque, the pushing member 410 can stably reciprocate along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity 210. Furthermore, the driving motor 510 can stably and precisely control the linear movement distance of the pushing member 410, thereby ensuring the stability of the pushing member 410 pushing the elastic component 420 to reciprocate, that is, improving the stability of the elastic component 420 pushing the ferrule assembly 300.

[0056] Furthermore, the driving device 500 further includes a transmission member 520. The transmission member 520 is disposed on the driving shaft of the driving motor 510. The driving motor 510 is connected to the pushing member 410 through the transmission member 520. By providing the transmission member 520, the output torque of the driving motor 510 can be stably transmitted to the pushing member 410, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation of the pushing member 410.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 In one embodiment, the pushing assembly 400 further includes an adapter ring 430. The adapter ring 430 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 210 and is located at the second terminal interface 230. The pushing member 410 is threadedly connected to the adapter ring 430. A first external thread is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the pushing member 410, and a first internal thread adapted to the first external thread is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the adapter ring 430.

[0058] It can be understood that the adapter ring 430 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 210 and is detachably connected to the conductive connection terminal 200, such as by screw connection, snap connection, etc., which is not specifically limited herein. By screwing the pushing member 410 with the adapter ring 430, the pushing member 410 is converted from a rotational motion to a linear motion, and then the elastic component 420 is pushed to move along the depth direction of the second receiving cavity 210. During this process, the pushing member 410 converts the rotational motion into a linear motion, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy and stability of the linear motion of the pushing member 410, that is, it can improve the stability of the pushing force applied by the pushing member 410 on the ferrule assembly 300. When the driving motor 510 stops providing driving force, due to the screw connection mode of the pushing member 410, the pushing member 410 will not move along the depth direction of the second receiving cavity 210, so that the clamping state or release state of the ferrule assembly 300 can be maintained. That is, when the driving motor 510 stops working, the ferrule assembly 300 will not change its state due to the stop of the driving motor 510, and the state of the ferrule assembly 300 can stably exist, thereby improving the stability of the ferrule assembly 300 and the reliability of the female end connector 10.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12 , in an embodiment, the adapter ring 430 is screwed to the conductive connection terminal 200. The outer peripheral wall of the adapter ring 430 is provided with a second external thread, and the inner peripheral wall of the second receiving cavity 210 of the conductive connection terminal 200 is provided with a second internal thread adapted to the second external thread. With such a setting, it is convenient to assemble and disassemble the adapter ring 430. At the same time, due to the screw connection mode of the adapter ring 430, the stability of the adapter ring 430 installed in the second receiving cavity 210 is ensured. In addition, when the pushing member 410 is screwed to the adapter ring 430 and the pushing member 410 pushes the elastic component 420 to move, there will be wear between the pushing member 410 and the adapter ring 430. When the adapter ring 430 needs to be replaced due to wear on its inner peripheral wall, the adapter ring 430 in this solution can be easily taken out from the second receiving cavity 210 of the conductive connection terminal 200 for replacement, avoiding the situation of replacing the conductive connection terminal 200, improving the convenience of replacing the adapter ring 430 and the convenience of maintaining the female end connector 10.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 12, in one embodiment, the elastic component 420 includes an elastic member 421 and a top cylinder 422. The top cylinder 422 is disposed in the second accommodation cavity 210 and is located between the collar assembly 300 and the pushing member 410. The elastic member 421 is disposed between the top cylinder 422 and the pushing member 410. The top cylinder 422 is used to push the collar assembly 300. An avoidance groove 423 for avoiding the male terminal 21 is provided at one end of the top cylinder 422 facing the collar assembly 300. A first limiting convex portion 424 is provided at one end of the top cylinder 422 facing the pushing member 410. A second limiting convex portion 411 is provided at one end of the pushing member 410 facing the collar assembly 300. One end of the elastic member 421 is sleeved on the first limiting convex portion 424, and the other end of the elastic member 421 is sleeved on the second limiting convex portion 411.

[0061] It can be understood that when the top cylinder 422 pushes the collar assembly 300, the top cylinder 422 moves in the direction of the male terminal 21. To avoid the collision between the top cylinder 422 and the male terminal 21 inserted into the collar assembly 300, an avoidance groove 423 is provided on the top cylinder 422, so that when the top cylinder 422 moves in the direction of the male terminal 21, the end of the male terminal 21 can be accommodated in the avoidance groove 423, thus avoiding the collision between the top cylinder 422 and the male terminal 21 and affecting the stability of the male terminal 21 inserted into the collar assembly 300, and further improving the reliability of the elastic component 420.

[0062] Further, the elastic member 421 can be a spring or an elastic block, and specific limitations are not made here. In this embodiment, the elastic member 421 is a spring. By providing a first limiting convex portion 424 on the top cylinder 422 and a second limiting convex portion 411 on the pushing member 410, the spring can be stably installed between the top cylinder 422 and the pushing member 410, thereby ensuring that the elastic force of the elastic member 421 can stably act on the top cylinder 422.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , in one embodiment, the female connector 10 further includes a female terminal 600 for connecting with a wire. A third female socket interface 140 communicating with the first accommodation cavity 110 is provided on the female socket 100. The third female socket interface 140 and the second female socket interface 130 are located on the same side of the female socket 100. The female terminal 600 is disposed in the first accommodation cavity 110 and is located at the third female socket interface 140. The connecting portion 240 of the female terminal 600 and the conductive connecting terminal 200 is detachably connected. The female terminal 600 and the insulating seat 700 are spaced apart.

[0064] It is understandable that the third female socket interface 140 is provided on the female socket cover 160 of the female end socket 100, and the second female socket interface 130 and the third female socket interface 140 are spaced apart on the female socket cover 160. There are various ways for the connection part 240 of the female end conductive terminal 600 and the conductive connection terminal 200 to be detachably connected, such as, but not limited to, threaded connection or snap connection. In this embodiment, a receiving groove is provided on the connection part 240 of the conductive connection terminal 200. The female end conductive terminal 600 is inserted into the first receiving cavity 110 from the third female socket interface 140, and the end of the female end conductive terminal 600 is inserted into the receiving groove and is threadedly connected to the conductive connection terminal 200, that is, the female end conductive terminal 600 is threadedly connected to the conductive connection terminal 200, so that it is convenient to assemble and disassemble the female end conductive terminal 600. After the female end conductive terminal 600 is fixedly connected to the wire outside the female end connector 10, the female end conductive terminal 600 can be quickly assembled and fixed to the conductive connection terminal 200 by means of threaded connection, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of assembling the female end connector 10.

[0065] In one embodiment, the second receiving cavity 210 of the conductive connection terminal 200 includes a first cavity section and a second cavity section communicating with the first cavity section. The cross-sectional area of the first cavity section is smaller than that of the second cavity section. A limiting part for limiting the ferrule assembly 300 is provided at one end of the first cavity section away from the second cavity section. The first terminal interface 220 is provided on the limiting part and communicates with the first cavity section. The ferrule assembly 300 is arranged in the first cavity section, and the pushing assembly 400 is arranged in the first cavity section and the second cavity section and is connected to the driving device 500 in the through hole 710.

[0066] It is understandable that the ferrule assembly 300 is arranged in the first cavity section and abuts against the limiting part. The male end conductive terminal 21 has a plug-in section for being inserted into the ferrule assembly 300. The aperture of the first terminal interface 220 is larger than the outer diameter of the plug-in section of the male end conductive terminal 21, and the minimum outer diameter of the ferrule assembly 300 is larger than the aperture of the first terminal interface 220, so as to ensure the stability of the ferrule assembly 300 installed in the first cavity section.

[0067] Further, the cross-sectional area of the first cavity section is the cross-sectional area of the first cavity section along the depth direction perpendicular to the second accommodation cavity 210, and the cross-sectional area of the second cavity section is the cross-sectional area of the second cavity section along the depth direction perpendicular to the second accommodation cavity 210. The cross-sectional area of the first cavity section is smaller than that of the second cavity section, so that the part with a smaller volume in the pushing component 400 can be accommodated in the first cavity section, the part with a larger volume in the pushing component 400 can be accommodated in the second cavity section, and the pushing component 400 is connected to the driving device 500 in the through hole 710. At the same time, the collar component 300 is arranged in the first cavity section. In this way, the arrangement structure of the pushing component 400 and the collar component 300 in the second accommodation cavity 210 is compact, so as to make full use of the space in the second accommodation cavity 210 and improve the space utilization rate of the second accommodation cavity 210 of the conductive connection terminal 200.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 In an embodiment, the conductive connection terminal 200 includes a first conductive section 250 and a second conductive section 260 connected to the first conductive section 250. The second accommodation cavity 210 penetrates through the first conductive section 250 and the second conductive section 260. The cross-sectional area of the first conductive section 250 is smaller than that of the second conductive section 260. An annular groove is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the second conductive section 260. The female terminal connector 10 further includes a first elastic ring 270 and a second elastic ring 280. The first elastic ring 270 is sleeved on the first conductive section 250, and the second elastic ring 280 is sleeved on the second conductive section 260 and located in the annular groove. Both the first elastic ring 270 and the second elastic ring 280 are in contact with the inner peripheral wall of the first accommodation cavity 110.

[0069] It can be understood that the cross-sectional area of the first conductive section 250 is the cross-sectional area of the first conductive section 250 along the depth direction perpendicular to the second accommodation cavity 210, and the cross-sectional area of the second conductive section 260 is the cross-sectional area of the second conductive section 260 along the depth direction perpendicular to the second accommodation cavity 210. The connecting portion 240 is arranged on the second conductive section 260, that is, the second conductive section 260 is not only used to connect to the driving device 500, but also used to connect to the female terminal conductive terminal 600. In this way, the second conductive section 260 has more functions and a larger volume.

[0070] Further, the first elastic ring 270 is sleeved on the first conductive section 250 and is located at the connection between the first conductive section 250 and the second conductive section 260, so that the first elastic ring 270 can abut against the inner wall of the first accommodating cavity 110 at the connection between the first conductive section 250 and the second conductive section 260, to prevent the first conductive section 250 of the conductive connection terminal 200 from shaking in the first accommodating cavity 110, thus improving the stability of the installation of the first conductive section 250 of the conductive connection terminal 200 in the first accommodating cavity 110.

[0071] Further, the second elastic ring 280 is arranged on the second conductive section 260 and is located in the annular groove. The second elastic ring 280 protrudes out of the annular groove. When the second conductive section 260 of the conductive connection terminal 200 is installed in the first accommodating cavity 110, the second elastic ring 280 protruding out of the annular groove can abut against the inner wall of the first accommodating cavity 110, to prevent the second conductive section 260 of the conductive connection terminal 200 from shaking in the first accommodating cavity 110, thus improving the stability of the installation of the second conductive section 260 of the conductive connection terminal 200 in the first accommodating cavity 110. It can be seen that by providing the first elastic ring 270 and the second elastic ring 280, the stability of the installation of the conductive connection terminal 200 in the female terminal socket 100 is improved.

[0072] In one embodiment, a docking cavity is further provided on the female terminal socket 100 of the female terminal connector 10. The docking cavity is used for inserting the signal terminal of the male terminal connector 20, so that the female terminal connector 10 can transmit signals.

[0073] Please refer to Figures 4 to 9 , in one embodiment, the conductive outer ring assembly 310 includes a plurality of outer conductive rings 311, the conductive inner ring assembly 320 includes a plurality of inner conductive rings 321, the plurality of outer conductive rings 311 and the plurality of inner conductive rings 321 are alternately arranged in the second accommodating cavity 210 along the depth direction of the second accommodating cavity 210. An outer inclined surface 322 is formed on the outer wall of the inner conductive ring 321 facing the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodating cavity 210, and an inner inclined surface 312 is formed on the inner wall of the outer conductive ring 311 facing away from the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodating cavity 210. The inner inclined surface 312 is adapted to abut against the outer inclined surface 322. A break 330 is provided on both the outer conductive ring 311 and the inner conductive ring 321.

[0074] It can be understood that when the driving device 500 drives the pushing component 400 to move so that the pushing component 400 pushes against the ferrule component 300, the conductive outer ring component 310 and the conductive inner ring component 320 are squeezed against each other. The conductive inner ring component 320 contracts inward and clamps the male terminal 21, and the conductive outer ring component 310 expands outward and abuts and fits tightly with the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodating cavity 210. In this way, current can sequentially pass through the male terminal 21, the conductive inner ring component 320, the conductive outer ring component 310, the conductive connection terminal 200, and the female terminal 600 and then be transmitted outward through the wire, thus ensuring the stability of current transmission.

[0075] When the driving device 500 drives the pushing component 400 to move so that the pushing component 400 is separated from the ferrule component 300, the ferrule component 300 is in a released state. The conductive outer ring component 310 and the conductive inner ring component 320 are reset to their initial positions. The conductive inner ring component 320 no longer squeezes the conductive outer ring component 310. At least part of the outer peripheral wall of the conductive outer ring component 310 is spaced from the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodating cavity 210, and at least part of the inner peripheral wall of the conductive inner ring component 320 is spaced from the male terminal 21 to loosen the male terminal 21. At this time, the male terminal 21 is easy to take out from the ferrule component 300 and easy to insert again. When the male terminal 21 is inserted or taken out, the plating on it is not easy to rub against the ferrule component 300 and cause wear. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the conductivity of the male terminal 21.

[0076] Further, the number of the inner conductive rings 321 and the outer conductive rings 311 can be selected according to the size of the second accommodation cavity 210. The number of the inner conductive rings 321 is at least two, and the number of the outer conductive rings 311 is at least two. The inner conductive rings 321 and the outer conductive rings 311 are alternately arranged along the depth direction of the second accommodation cavity 210. There is no special regulation on the arrangement order of the inner conductive rings 321 (A) and the outer conductive rings 311 (B), which can be AABBAA, ABABAB, ABAABB, BBAABB, BABABA, or BABBAA. When the arrangement order of the inner conductive rings 321 and the outer conductive rings 311 is ABABAB, when the driving device 500 drives the pushing assembly 400 to push the ferrule assembly 300, the pushing assembly 400 pushes the adjacent inner conductive ring 321 to contract inwards until it abuts against the male conductive terminal 21 inserted into the ferrule assembly 300. The pushed inner conductive ring 321 continues to push the adjacent outer conductive ring 311, causing the outer conductive ring 311 to expand outwards until it abuts against and is tightly fitted with the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodation cavity 210. The pushed outer conductive ring 311 continues to push the adjacent inner conductive ring 321, causing the inner conductive ring 321 to contract inwards until it abuts against the male conductive terminal 21. The inner conductive ring 321 continues to push the adjacent outer conductive ring 311 to expand outwards until it abuts against and is tightly fitted with the inner peripheral wall of the second accommodation cavity 210. The remaining inner conductive rings 321 and outer conductive rings 311 are pushed in turn according to the above method, which will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0077] Further, through the mutual cooperation of the inner conductive rings 321 and the outer conductive rings 311, at least two contacts are formed between the male conductive terminal 21, the inner conductive rings 321, the outer conductive rings 311 and the second accommodation cavity 210 of the conductive connection terminal 200, so that there are multiple contacts in the radial direction of the conductive connection terminal 200. The radial multi-contact shunt of the conductive connection terminal 200 has strong current-carrying capacity and can achieve a current-carrying capacity of dozens of amperes to hundreds of amperes or even thousands of amperes. By making the radial line contact, point contact and even surface contact of the conductive connection terminal 200 coexist, the current-carrying capacity between the conductive connection terminal 200 and the female connector 10 is greatly improved. The number of the inner conductive rings 321 and the outer conductive rings 311 can be appropriately matched based on the conductive connection terminal 200 to realize the diversity of product functions.

[0078] Optionally, the projections of the inner conductive rings 321 and the outer conductive rings 311 on the plane perpendicular to their axes can be circular with a break 330, regular polygon with a break 330 or irregular polygon with a break 330. The shapes of the inner conductive rings 321 and the outer conductive rings 311 can be selected according to the shape of the second accommodation cavity 210. In this embodiment, the second accommodation cavity 210 is set to be quasi-cylindrical. At this time, the inner conductive rings 321 and the outer conductive rings 311 are usually set to be ring shapes with a break 330.

[0079] Furthermore, the outer inclined surface 322 on the inner conductive ring 321 and the inner inclined surface 312 on the outer conductive ring 311 can increase the contact area between the inner conductive ring 321 and the outer conductive ring 311, which is beneficial to increasing the connection contact points between the ferrule assembly 300 and the male terminal 21, and further beneficial to improving the current-carrying capacity of the female connector 10.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present invention also provides a connector assembly, which includes a male connector 20 and the female connector 10 as described above. The specific structure of the female connector 10 refers to the above embodiments. Since this connector assembly adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0081] Optionally, the male connector 20 includes a male socket 22 and a male terminal 21 disposed on the male socket 22. The male socket 22 is inserted and connected to the female socket 100 so that the male terminal 21 can be inserted into the ferrule assembly 300 along the first terminal interface 220.

[0082] Furthermore, the male socket 22 includes a male socket body 23 and a male socket cover 24. The male socket cover 24 is detachably connected to the male socket body 23. In this embodiment, the male socket cover 24 is connected to the male socket body 23 by screws. The male terminal 21 passes through the male socket 22. The male terminal 21 is inserted on the male socket body 23, and the male socket cover 24 is covered on the male socket body 23 to fix the male terminal 21.

[0083] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
