Detailed Implementation

[0039] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] This embodiment describes a vibration-resistant connector, referencing... Figures 1-11 As shown, the connector includes a male end body 3 and a female end body 9. Both the male end body 3 and the female end body 9 are hollow cylinders. The male end body 3 is provided with a male terminal, and the female end body 9 is provided with a female terminal that mates with the male terminal.

[0042] refer to Figure 10 The male and female terminals each include a terminal housing: male terminal housing 24 and female terminal housing 26. Each terminal housing has a spring clip with one end extending away from the terminal housing: male spring clip 23 and female spring clip 25. (Reference) Figure 1 and Figure 11 The male end body 3 and the female end body 9 are provided with first slots corresponding to the position of the spring piece: male end body first slot 27 and female end body first slot 10. When the male end is installed in the male end body or the female end is installed in the female end body, the movable end of the spring piece extends into the first slot, thereby realizing the positioning of the male and female ends in the male and female end bodies.

[0043] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 11 The male terminal body 3 and the female terminal body 9 are also provided with mutually cooperating second slots and latches on their side walls: male terminal body second slot 2, female terminal body second slot 11, male terminal body latch 29, and female terminal body latch 30. When the latch is engaged in the second slot, the end of the latch located in the slot abuts against the terminal body. The engagement of the second slot and the latch can further position the male and female terminals within the male and female terminal bodies.

[0044] The cooperation of the elastic sheet on the terminal shell with the first clamping slot on the male and female terminal plastic shell and the cooperation of the second clamping slot with the buckle can realize double clamping of the male and female terminals in the male and female terminal body, guarantee the positioning reliability between the male and female terminals and the plastic shell, and improve the anti-vibration performance of the male and female terminals.

[0045] Referring again to Figure 11 As shown, the buckle 29 of the male terminal body is movably connected to the outer side wall of the male terminal body 3 and includes a connecting plate connected to the outer side wall of the male terminal body 3 and a buckling part; when the buckling part is clamped in the second clamping slot, the connecting plate covers the first clamping slot and the upper part of the second clamping slot. In this way, the situation of terminal corrosion and damage caused by dust falling into the clamping slot can be reduced, and the female terminal can also be designed accordingly.

[0046] As Figure 1 In application, the male terminal body can be fixedly installed in a hollow tube, the female terminal body is fixedly installed on a mounting seat, and the mounting seat is fixedly connected to the end of the hollow tube. A clamping hole is arranged on the inner side wall of the hollow tube, and a reverse buckle 4 is arranged on the outer side wall of the male terminal body 3 to interfere with the clamping hole, thereby realizing the relative fixation between the male terminal body 3 and the piston rod.

[0047] A tooth-shaped insertion slot 6 is arranged on the inner side wall of one end of the mounting seat connected to the hollow tube, and a flange 7 is arranged on the outer peripheral part of the port; a convex bump 12 is arranged on the outer side part of the opposite end of the insertion end of the female terminal body 9 to cooperate with the tooth-shaped insertion slot 6.

[0048] In combination Figures 6 to 8 The mounting seat includes a buckle element, and the buckle element includes a ring shell 13 surrounding the outer periphery of the tail part of the female terminal body 9, and an interference convex bump 19 is arranged on the inner side of the edge of the ring shell 13 to cooperate with the flange 7.

[0049] As Figure 1 When the male terminal body 3 is inserted into the female terminal body 9, the convex bump 12 on the female terminal body 9 is limited in the tooth-shaped insertion slot 6 on the inner side of the hollow tube, so that the rotational freedom in the direction of the central axis and the movement freedom in two directions perpendicular to the central axis of the hollow tube can be limited; the interference convex bump 19 on the inner side of the edge of the ring shell 13 is clamped on the flange 7 on the outer periphery of the end of the hollow tube through elastic deformation, thereby forming an anti-vibration self-locking structure, effectively improving the cooperation stability and anti-vibration performance of the male and female connector under complex vibration working conditions during driving, and prolonging the service life of the connector.

[0050] As Figures 7 to 9The mounting base further comprises a rear cover 14; the buckle element further comprises a limiting piece on one end surface of the ring shell 13 and a lead tube wall capable of being connected with the rear cover 14 to form a lead tube; after the mounting base is assembled, the rear cover 14 covers the limiting piece of the buckle element and is connected with the lower end of the buckle element to form the lead tube. The lead tube wall of the buckle element is externally provided with a clamping point 18, and the lead tube wall of the rear cover 14 is externally provided with a clamping ring 22 on both sides; when the lead tube wall of the buckle element and the lead tube wall of the rear cover are combined to form the lead tube, the clamping ring 22 is clamped on the outer periphery of the clamping point 18.

[0051] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the limiting piece is provided with a stress release hole 16 and a plurality of female body clamping hole 17 and rear cover clamping hole 20, the tail of the female body 9 is provided with a first clamping tongue 28 matched with the female body clamping hole 17, and the rear cover 14 is provided with a second clamping tongue 21 matched with the rear cover clamping hole 20.

[0052] The above can realize the relative fixed installation between the male hollow tube and the buckle element, between the female body 9 and the buckle element, and between the buckle element and the rear cover, and guarantee the anti-vibration performance of the connector.

[0053] On the basis of the above, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 , a waterproof ring 32 is arranged at the end of the female body 9 matched with the cable, and an O-shaped waterproof ring 31 is arranged at the position matched with the end of the hollow tube on the outer surface of the female body, which effectively avoids the erosion of external water vapor to the center contact, and further improves the service life of the connector.

[0054] Embodiment 2

[0055] On the basis of the realization of the anti-vibration performance improvement of the connector in embodiment 1, the following design is further made in the embodiment to realize the self-guiding of the connector when assembled in an area not easy to view.

[0056] At least one guide groove 8 is arranged on the side wall of the mating end of the male body 3 along the axial direction of the male body 3, as shown in Figure 2 , the number of guide grooves 8 in the embodiment is 2, which are symmetrically arranged with the axial center line of the male body 3 as the center; at least one protruding rib 15 is arranged on the outer surface of the mating end of the female body 9 along the axial direction of the female body 9, the number of protruding ribs 15 in the embodiment is 2, which are symmetrically arranged with the axial center line of the female body 9 as the center, and the number and position of the protruding ribs 15 are matched with the number and position of the guide grooves 8, so that after each protruding rib 15 is inserted into the corresponding guide groove 8, the male terminal and the female terminal can be correctly connected.

[0057] The arc-shaped guiding strip 5 with the terminal connecting guiding groove 8 is arranged on the inner surface of the butt joint end of the male terminal body 3, and the arc-shaped guiding strip 5 extends towards the direction away from the top end of the butt joint end. In this embodiment, two arc-shaped inclined wedge guiding strips are arranged between the two guiding grooves 8, and the middle part is located inside the top end of the butt joint end of the male terminal body 3, and the two ends extend towards the two guiding grooves respectively. Figure 5 As shown in the self-guiding assembly process, when the assembly operation fails to align the protruding rib 15 with the guiding groove 8 initially, the protruding rib 15 will first abut against the arc-shaped guiding strip 5. Since the arc-shaped guiding strip 5 is connected with the guiding groove 8, under the action of the assembly force, the protruding rib 15 on the female terminal body 9 will slide along the arc-shaped guiding strip 5 into the guiding groove 8, that is, the self-guiding of the male and female terminal assembly process is realized.

[0058] When applied to male and female terminals of different structural types, the number of guiding grooves and the matching protruding ribs can also be set to other multiple conditions, and then the arc-shaped guiding strips 5 are arranged between the two adjacent guiding grooves 8 respectively.

[0059] Of course, the guiding groove 8 and the arc-shaped guiding strip 5 can also be arranged as only one, and the two ends of the arc-shaped guiding strip are connected to the same guiding groove.

[0060] In the above, the end of the arc-shaped guiding strip 5 is preferably connected to the middle part of the length direction of the guiding groove 8. The length space of the guiding groove left on both sides of the connection is used to leave enough distance for the guiding of the protruding rib by the guiding strip, and the other side can avoid interference of the male and female terminals before reasonable butt joint position, so that the female terminal body 9 is guided to the correct position by the arc-shaped guiding strip, and then the male and female terminals start to be inserted.
