[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: an anti-misoperation protection structure for an automobile connector, comprising a connector body 1 and a plug-in connector 2, slots 6 are provided on one side of both ends of the connector body 1, and mutually adaptable grounding plates 3 are inserted into the inner side of the slots 6, and hooks 4 are integrally connected on the side away from each other of the two sets of grounding plates 3, and open buckles 5 are provided on both sides of the plug-in connector 2, and the open buckles 5 and the hooks 4 are adapted to each other.

[0031] As a preferred solution of this embodiment: two groups of grounding plates 3 are inserted into the inner side of the slot 6, and buckle grooves are provided on the inner side of the two groups of open buckles 5, and the buckle grooves are snap-fitted with the hooks 4, so that the operator can use the buckle grooves to operate the open buckles 5 for pressing and stretching.

[0032] As a preferred solution of this embodiment: two groups of hooks 4 are connected to the grounding plate 3 in a U-shaped structure, and the two groups of hooks 4 are snap-fitted and fixed on the inner side of the open buckle 5 for positioning and cooperation, and the preliminary snap-fit ​​structure is limited by the secondary snap-fit ​​structure to avoid damage to the snap-fit ​​structure.

[0033] As a preferred solution of this embodiment: operating parts are provided on both sides of the two groups of open buckles 5, and anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer sides of the operating parts. A concave hole is opened at one end of the two groups of open buckles 5 to increase the anti-slip effect of the actual operation of the operator.

[0034] As a preferred solution of this embodiment: a slot 6 is provided on one side of the front end and one side of the back end of the connector body 1, and two sets of grounding plates 3 and hooks 4 as well as open buckles 5 and slots 6 are fixed on both sides of the connector body 1 and the connector 2 in an interlaced structure, so as to facilitate the use of the positive and negative orientation structures and make the connection of the connector more stable.

[0035] As a preferred solution of this embodiment: an anti-slip convex layer is provided on the top of the two groups of grounding plates 3, and a trapezoidal guide block is provided at the end of the two groups of grounding plates 3. The two groups of grounding plates 3 are introduced into the inner side of the slot 6 along the trapezoidal guide block and are positioned by contacting the anti-slip convex layer and the inner side surface of the slot 6. It is easy to utilize the guiding cooperation of the trapezoidal guide block to facilitate the grounding plates 3 to be more conveniently inserted into the slot 6 for snap-fitting and splicing.

[0036] A method for using an anti-misoperation protection structure for an automobile connector, the operating steps are as follows:

[0037] Step 1: Press the two groups of open buckles 5 to drive the card blocks to shrink inward. The two groups of card blocks are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the open buckles 5. The two groups of open buckles 5 drive the card blocks to move elastically on both sides of the plug-in part 2, so that the connector body 1 and the plug-in part 2 are buckled and connected under the contraction of the two groups of open buckles 5, so that the automobile connector is assembled;

[0038] Step 2: After the automobile connector is assembled, the two sets of open buckles 5 are snapped together and then rebound to reset. Then, the grounding plate 3 is inserted into the preset slot 6, and the hook 4 integrally connected with the grounding plate 3 is embedded in the inner side of the open buckle 5. The two sets of grounding plates 3 and the hook 4 are simultaneously inserted into the slot 6 and the inner side of the open buckle 5 to be snapped and fixed.

[0039] Step three: The hook structure is extended through the structure of the hook 4 and the open buckle 5 to form a buckle connection, and the open buckle 5 is limited. The hook-type snap-fit ​​structure composed of two groups of hooks 4 and the open buckle 5 prevents the open buckle 5 from breaking due to misoperation or folding and the failure of the rebound function;

[0040] The hook structure is extended by the grounding plate and combined with the buckle to form a new buckle structure, which prevents the buckle from breaking and failing due to excessive opening during operation. At the same time, the height space is reduced compared to the closed buckle, and the buckle pressing operation is flexible.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions of the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field do not deviate from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
