[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the flat connector includes two mounting members 10 and cables 20. The mounting member 10 includes a base 11. A cavity 13 is formed inside the base 11. The cavity 13 has a longitudinal opening 131 and a transverse opening 132. A terminal 14 is mounted in the transverse opening 132.

[0026] Two ends of the cable 20 respectively pass through the two longitudinal openings 131 and are connected to the two terminals 14 .

[0027] In the flat-lying connector of the present technical solution, both mounting parts 10 are fixed to external objects, and the two terminals 14 are connected by cables 20. The terminals 14 are assembled in the transverse openings 132, and the cables 20 connected to the terminals 14 pass through the longitudinal openings 131. The wire-swinging end opposite to the plug-in end in the prior art is adjusted from the Z direction to the Y direction, that is, the thickness of the wire-swinging end is adjusted to 0, which meets the requirements of the connector size restriction in specific application scenarios.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the cavities 13 on the two mounting members 10 are arranged in parallel, that is, the two longitudinal openings 131 and the two transverse openings 132 are oriented in the same direction; the base 11 is provided with a through hole 16;

[0029] One end of the cable 20 is connected to a terminal 14 on one mounting member 10 , and the other end of the cable 20 passes through a through hole 16 on another mounting member 10 to form a bend 21 and then is connected to the terminal 14 .

[0030] In the connector of the present technical solution, one end of the cable 20 directly passes through the longitudinal opening 131 to be connected to the upper terminal 14, and the other end passes through the through hole 16 and then passes through the longitudinal opening 131 to be connected to the lower terminal 14. A bend 21 is formed at the position of the lower mounting member 10, so that the length of the cable 20 between the two mounting members 10 can be changed, that is, when the connector is installed, the lower mounting member 10 can float in the three directions of X, Y, and Z.

[0031] When installing the connector, first install the upper mounting member 10 in place, adjust the length of the cable 20 between the two mounting members 10 to adapt to the distance between the installation positions of the two mounting members 10, and then install the lower mounting member 10 in place; the length of the cable 20 between the two mounting members 10 can be changed, that is, when the connector is installed, the lower mounting member 10 can be set to float in the X, Y, and Z directions, thereby solving the problem that when the connector is installed, there is a position error between the installation position of the lower mounting member 10 and the installation position of the upper mounting member 10, which makes the connector difficult to install.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple through holes 16, a boss 12 is formed between two adjacent through holes 16, and the cavity 13 is arranged inside the boss 12, that is, the terminals 14 on the mounting member 10 are also arranged in multiple numbers; two terminals 14 located at the same position are connected to the same cable 20, and the through holes 16 and terminals 14 on the same mounting member 10 are arranged in multiple numbers to meet the connection requirements of multiple cables 20.

[0033] In order to improve the convenience of assembling the terminal 14 and the cable 20, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the base 11 includes a detachably connected base shell 111 and a base shell 2 112; the boss 12, the cavity 13, the longitudinal opening 131 and the through hole 16 are all arranged in two parts and are respectively distributed on the base shell 111 and the base shell 2 112, and the transverse opening 132 is arranged on the base shell 2 112.

[0034] When assembling the terminal 14 and the cable 20, the base shell 111 and the base shell 2 112 are disassembled, the terminal 14 is assembled inside the transverse opening 132 with one end exposed in the cavity 13, the end of the cable 20 is connected to the terminal 14, the cable 20 is thrown out from the longitudinal opening 131, and the base shell 111 and the base shell 2 112 are connected and fixed, which is simple and convenient to assemble.

[0035] To solve the problem of detachable connection between base shell 1 111 and base shell 2 112, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, both base shell 1 111 and base shell 2 112 are provided with threaded holes, and the same screw 15 is threadedly engaged in the two threaded holes.

[0036] When assembling the base 11, the base shell 111 and the base shell 2 112 are relatively opposed, and the screw 15 is threadedly matched with the two threaded holes to fix the relative positions of the base shell 111 and the base shell 2 112, and the installation and disassembly are simple and fast.

[0037] To achieve a stable connection between the connector and external objects, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the same bolt 17 penetrates the base shell 1 111 and the base shell 2 112; when installing the connector, the bolt 17 is first penetrated through the base shell 1 111 and the base shell 2 112, and then the bolt 17 is threadedly engaged with the external object to achieve a stable connection between the connector and the external object.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them.
