Detailed Implementation

[0033] Embodiment 1 of the waterproof FAKRA connector of the present invention, as follows: Figures 1-12 As shown, a female connector (short for waterproof FAKRA connector, in embodiment 1 of this invention, the connector specifically refers to the "female connector") has a central axis extending front and rear, an axial direction extending along the central axis, and a radial direction perpendicular to the central axis. The front end of the connector is a plug end, and the rear end is a wiring end. The connector includes a housing 1, and the housing 1 has a mounting cavity. The connector also includes: an outer conductor 2 installed in the mounting cavity, an insulator 3 installed in the outer conductor 2, and an inner conductor 4 installed in the insulator 3. The outer conductor 2, the insulator 3, and the inner conductor 4 constitute a coaxial contact based on the central axis (in this embodiment, it is coaxial with the central axis; in other embodiments, it can also be a multi-core product distributed around the central axis). The rear end of the outer conductor 2 has a rear opening, and the rear end of the housing 1 has a rear inlet for wires to pass into the outer conductor 2. The outer conductor 2 is equipped with a crimp sleeve 9 for connecting wires.

[0034] The connector also includes a sealing end cap component 5, which includes an end cap 51 and a rear sealing ring 52. The rear sealing ring 52 and the end cap 51 are integrally formed (injection molded). The end cap 51 includes a rear cover 511, an outer sleeve 512, and an inner sleeve 513. The outer sleeve 512 and the inner sleeve 513 are connected to the front end face of the rear cover 511 and extend forward. The inner sleeve 513 and the outer sleeve 512 are radially distributed inward and outward based on the central axis. An annular gap is provided between the inner sleeve 513 and the outer sleeve 512. The annular gap allows the rear end of the outer shell 1 to be inserted and the outer sleeve 512 to be fitted over the rear end of the outer shell 1. The inner sleeve 513 and the rear cover 511 are provided with end cap 51 through holes extending forward and backward. The end cap 51 through holes allow the rear end of the outer conductor 2 to be inserted backward and allow the wire to be inserted forward.

[0035] The sealing end cover component 5 is provided with a buckle 53, which is in the form of an ear structure and is elastic, and has a rear limiting surface. The buckle 53 is distributed on both sides of the outer sleeve 512 in the radial direction. The outer shell 1 is provided with a limiting protrusion 11 on the outer circumferential surface, which has a forward limiting surface. When the rear end of the outer shell 1 is inserted into the annular gap and the outer sleeve 512 is sleeved on the outer shell 1, the buckle 53 can be buckled with the limiting protrusion 11 on the outer shell 1, so as to realize the axial fixation of the sealing end cover component 5 on the outer shell 1 in the forward direction.

[0036] The rear sealing ring 52 includes an inner sealing rib 521 and an outer sealing rib 522 distributed in the radial direction. The inner sealing rib 521 is an inner annular convex rib protruding in the radial direction and distributed in a corrugated shape in the axial direction.

The inner sealing rib 521 is located in the through hole of the end cover 51 and connected with the inner sleeve 513. The outer sealing rib 522 is located in the annular gap and connected with the inner sleeve 513. The outer sealing rib 522 is used to realize the sealing between the end cover 51 and the inner side wall of the outer shell 1. The inner sealing rib 521 is used to realize the sealing between the end cover 51 and the wire.

[0037] The outer conductor 2 is in the form of a tube and includes a front tube segment 21, a necked segment 22, and a rear tube segment 23 distributed in the front-rear direction. The insulator 3 is sleeved in the front tube segment 21. The rear tube segment 23 is provided with a crimp sleeve 9 for connecting the wire and constitutes a wire pressing end. The necked segment 22 forms a stop step 221 inside the outer conductor 2 for stopping the insulator 3 in the forward direction. The inner circumferential surface of the front tube segment 21 is provided with an inner positioning protrusion 211, which is specifically an inward-turned barb. When the insulator 3 is sleeved in the outer conductor 2, the stop step 221 at the necked segment 22 axially limits the rear end of the insulator 3 in the forward direction. The outer circumferential surface of the insulator 3 is further provided with an outer positioning groove 31 corresponding to the inner positioning protrusion 211. The outer positioning groove 31 is a circumferential ring groove. Therefore, when the insulator 3 is sleeved, the inner positioning protrusion 211 on the front tube segment 21 falls into the outer positioning groove 31 corresponding and provided on the outer circumferential surface of the insulator 3, so as to axially limit the insulator 3 in the rear direction, thereby realizing the fixation of the insulator 3 in the outer conductor 2.

[0038] The outer periphery of the front pipe section 21 of the outer conductor 2 is provided with an outer positioning protrusion 212 (in different embodiments of the application, the number of the outer positioning protrusions 212 is one or more than two), which is specifically a boss. When the outer conductor 2 is installed into the housing 1 of the female connector from back to front, the front and back of the outer positioning protrusion 212 has front and back positioning faces: a front end positioning face 2121 and a back end positioning face 2122. The front end positioning face 2121 of the outer positioning protrusion 212 abuts against the inner step 12 provided in the installation cavity of the housing 1, and then the front end face of the inner sleeve 513 of the sealing end cover component 5 installed into the installation cavity of the housing 1 from back to front limits and stops the back end positioning face 2122 of the outer positioning protrusion 212 of the outer conductor 2, so that the front end face of the inner sleeve 513 constitutes the front end limiting face 54 of the end cover, and at the same time, as described above, the buckle 53 on the sealing end cover component 5 can be buckled with the limiting protrusion 11 on the housing 1, realizing the axial fixation of the sealing end cover component 5 on the housing 1 in the forward direction, so as to finally realize the axial positioning between the sealing end cover component 5 and the housing 1 (in the backward direction, the sealing end cover component 5 is stopped by the back end face of the outer positioning protrusion 212 of the outer conductor 2), that is, the axial limiting of the outer conductor 2 in the installation cavity of the housing 1 and the axial positioning of the sealing end cover component 5 on the housing 1 are realized at the same time.

[0039] The insertion area (as shown in Figure 10 , the male connector 7 is inserted with the female connector 8) in the installation cavity of the housing 1 of the female connector 8 is provided with a front sealing ring 6, which is sleeved on the front pipe section 21 of the outer conductor 2, and the front sealing ring 6 realizes the waterproof of the insertion interface after the male connector 7 is inserted with the female connector 8.

[0040] As shown in Figures 9-12 , the female connector of the waterproof FAKRA connector embodiment 1 is further provided with a CPA locking structure, which is used for the secondary locking after the male and female connectors are inserted, and the CPA locking structure includes a CPA locking sheet 100 which is slidably assembled on the housing 1, the CPA locking sheet 100 includes a locking sheet cantilever 101 at the front end, a locking protrusion 103 at the back end, a guide boss 102 at the side, and a CPA limiting table 104 at the bottom. The housing 1 is further provided with a primary lock key, which includes a primary lock cantilever 200 at the front end for locking with an adapter connector and a primary lock button 202 at the back for pressing and unlocking.

[0041] The CPA lock piece 100 is loaded into the shell 1 from above, and the lock piece cantilever 101 of the CPA lock piece 100 falls into the volume groove 201 provided on the cantilever 200, and the front end surface of the lock piece cantilever 101 abuts against the end surface of the volume groove 201, so that the CPA lock piece 100 is stopped at the front end surface. Meanwhile, two limiting tables are extended on both sides of the rear end limiting side wall of the shell 1, and the limiting tables stop the rear end surface of the CPA lock piece 100; meanwhile, the limiting windows 302 extending forward and backward are provided on both sides of the shell 1, the guide bosses 102 provided on both sides of the CPA lock piece 100 are slidably assembled in the limiting windows 302 in the forward and backward directions, and the horizontal beams supporting the CPA lock piece 100 are further provided on the inside of the limiting windows 302 of the shell 1, so as to limit the CPA lock piece 100 in the upward and downward directions and guide the CPA lock piece 100 in the forward and backward directions. The locking grooves 303 are provided on both sides of the upper part of the shell 1, the locking grooves 303 are two half circular grooves distributed forward and backward, the locking grooves 303 are used for cooperating with the CPA limiting tables 104 of the CPA lock piece 100, the CPA limiting tables 104 are half circular bosses, can fall into the locking grooves 303, so as to block the forward and backward movement of the CPA lock piece 100, unless the operator pushes forward or backward, the CPA limiting tables 104 will be kept in the locking grooves 303, so as to fix the two positions of the CPA lock piece 100 forward and backward.

[0042] When the male connector and the female connector are plugged, the front end of the male connector has a primary locking boss 301, after plugging, the primary locking boss 301 of the male connector falls into the locking groove of the primary lock key of the female connector, and the lock piece cantilever 101 at the front end of the CPA lock piece 100 in the volume groove 201 is lifted, at this time, the front end stop function of the CPA lock piece 100 is unlocked, at this time, the CPA lock piece 100 can be pushed to move forward, and the state is as shown in Figure 11 When the CPA limiting table 104 of the CPA lock piece 100 is pushed forward into the secondary half circular groove (the locking grooves 303 are two half circular grooves distributed forward and backward, and are divided into primary and secondary half circular grooves), after reaching the position, the two locking bosses 103 provided on both sides of the rear end of the CPA lock piece 100 are below the primary lock button 202 of the primary lock key, so as to block and limit the downward movement of the primary lock button 202, at this time, the primary lock button 202 cannot be pressed to unlock, so as to realize the secondary fixation of the primary lock after the male connector and the female connector are plugged, and realize the secondary lock function, and the state is as shown in Figure 12 .

[0043] The embodiment 2 of the waterproof FAKRA connector of the present application is as shown in Figure 13 , Figure 14 In the present embodiment 2, the connector specifically refers to the male connector 7, and the plugging state of the male connector 7 of the embodiment 2 and the female connector 8 of the embodiment 1 is as shown in Figure 14 .

[0044] Since the tail end structure of the male connector 7 is identical to that of the female connector 8, the positioning structure between the outer conductor 2 and the insulator 3, and between the outer conductor 2 and the housing 1 of the male connector 7 is identical to the corresponding structure in the female connector 8 (for the same reason, the outer conductor 2 of the male connector 7 has an outer positioning protrusion 212, not limited to the protrusion form), and the positioning principle is also identical, which will not be described again. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate understanding, in the corresponding embodiment 2 Figure 13 , the reference numerals of the components of the connector are the same as those of the corresponding components in embodiment 1. The difference between the male connector 7 and the female connector 8 is that the male connector 7 does not have a front sealing ring.
