DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0022] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the terms "first", "second", etc. used in the present disclosure are intended to distinguish one element from another and do not have order or importance. In addition, in the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The above definitions are only used to explain and illustrate the present disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present disclosure provides an electrical connector, comprising: a main shaft assembly 1, the main shaft assembly 1 includes a main shaft 11 and a conductive structure 2 arranged on the main shaft 11; a plug-in terminal 3; and an outlet terminal 4; the plug-in terminal 3 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 11 around the central axis of the main shaft 11, the plug-in terminal 3 includes a first conductive member 31, the first conductive member 31 and the conductive structure 2 can be relatively slidably abutted, and / or, the outlet terminal 4 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 11 around the central axis of the main shaft 11, the outlet terminal 4 includes a second conductive member 41, and the second conductive member 41 and the conductive structure 2 can be relatively slidably abutted.

[0024] Through the above technical scheme, in the electrical connector provided by the present invention, since the conductive structure 2 is provided on the main shaft 11, the outlet terminal 4 can rotate around the central axis of the main shaft 11, and the second conductive member 41 of the outlet terminal 4 can be relatively slidably abutted with the conductive structure 2, therefore, the first conductive member 31 of the plug-in terminal 3 can be electrically connected to the second conductive member 41 through the conductive structure 2, and when the outlet direction of the wiring harness of the outlet terminal 4 is adjusted, the outlet terminal 4 can rotate around the main shaft 11 and drive the second conductive member 41 to rotate, thereby, the outlet angle of the outlet terminal 4 can be adjusted, and the multi-angle adjustment of the outlet direction can be realized, the use flexibility is high, more wiring scenarios can be met, and it is beneficial to improve the adaptability of the electrical connector, in addition, since the plug-in terminal 3 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 11 around the central axis of the main shaft 11, the plug-in terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4 can both rotate independently relative to the main shaft 11, which is convenient for adjusting the outlet angle according to various wiring situations, thereby improving the flexibility of use.

[0025] In addition, since the second conductive member 41 and the conductive structure 2 can be relatively slidably abutted, when the wiring harness on the output terminal 4 swings due to external force, the wiring harness can slide with the second conductive member 41 relative to the conductive structure 2, and adaptively adjust the output angle to prevent the wiring harness from bending or being damaged due to the fixed connection. Based on the above, the electrical connector disclosed in the present invention can meet the connection requirements when the wiring harness needs to move, thereby expanding the scope of use.

[0026] Since the plug-in terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4 of the present disclosure can rotate independently relative to the main shaft 11, the outlet angle can be adjusted according to various wiring situations, thereby improving the flexibility of use. Now, it is described in detail according to the following situations: When the angle of the plug-in terminal 3 is fixed, the outlet terminal 4 can be rotated relative to the plug-in terminal 3 to adjust the outlet angle of the outlet terminal 4; when the angle of the outlet terminal 4 is fixed, the plug-in terminal 3 can be rotated relative to the outlet terminal 4 to adjust the outlet angle of the plug-in terminal 3; when both the plug-in terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4 can be rotated, both the plug-in terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4 can be rotated relative to the main axis 11 to adjust the outlet angle of the plug-in terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4. It can be used flexibly according to actual needs, which improves the convenience of use.

[0027] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 3 to 8As shown in , the conductive structure 2 may include at least one conductive sheet 21, which is configured to be arc-shaped and coaxially arranged with the main body axis 11. The first conductive member 31 and at least one conductive sheet 21 may be relatively slidably abutted, and / or the second conductive member 41 and at least one conductive sheet 21 may be relatively slidably abutted. In the above technical solution, since the conductive sheet 21 is configured to be arc-shaped, when the plug-in terminal 3 rotates and drives the first conductive member 31 to rotate, the first conductive member 31 and the conductive structure 2 are always kept in contact, and / or when the outlet terminal 4 rotates and drives the second conductive member 41 to rotate, the second conductive member 41 and the conductive structure 2 are always kept in contact, thereby improving the reliability of use.

[0028] In the present disclosure, the conductive sheet 21 can be made of metal graphite material, which has good conductivity and high wear resistance, making the electrical connection between the outlet terminal 4 and the plug-in terminal 3 more stable and reliable.

[0029] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 3 to 8 As shown in , the main shaft assembly 1 may include a tension sleeve 12, which is elastically deformable and arranged between the main shaft 11 and the conductive sheet 21. The tension sleeve 12 is used to provide the conductive sheet 21 with a thrust to move the conductive sheet 21 radially away from the main shaft 11. By such an arrangement, it is ensured that the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 41 are in good contact with the corresponding conductive sheet 21. In addition, after the conductive sheet 21 is worn, the elastic force of the tension sleeve 12 can keep the conductive sheet 21 in reliable contact with the first conductive member 31 or the second conductive member 41, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the outlet terminal 4 and the plug-in terminal 3.

[0030] In the present disclosure, since a tensioning sleeve 12 is provided between the main shaft 11 and the conductive sheet 21, under the elastic force of the tensioning sleeve 12, the conductive sheet 21 is ensured to be in good contact with the first conductive member 31, and after the conductive sheet 21 is worn, the tensioning sleeve 12 restores its elastic deformation, so that the actual pressure between the conductive sheet 21 and the first conductive member 31 will not become too small, that is, the conductive sheet 21 is kept in good contact with the first conductive member 31.

[0031] Among them, the tensioning sleeve 12 can be made of elastic rubber or elastic plastic, and the present disclosure does not make any specific restrictions on this. Since the tensioning sleeve 12 is elastic, the tensioning sleeve 12 can be reliably sleeved on the main shaft 11 through the action of elastic force, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the tensioning sleeve 12.

[0032] It should be noted that, for the above-mentioned thrust, when the conductive sheet 21 abuts against the second conductive member 41, the thrust can be understood as the pressure between the conductive sheet 21 and the second conductive member 41. Similarly, when the conductive sheet 21 abuts against the first conductive member 31, the thrust can be understood as the pressure between the conductive sheet 21 and the first conductive member 31.

[0033] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 3 to 7 As shown in , the conductive structure 2 may include at least two separately arranged conductive sheets 21, and the at least two conductive sheets 21 are sequentially arranged around the circumference of the main body shaft 11. In the above technical solution, by arranging at least two conductive sheets 21, it is possible to arrange at least two conductive sheets 21 around the circumference of the main body shaft 11 in a full circle, so that when a conductive sheet 21 is worn, the worn conductive sheet 21 can be subjected to the elastic force of the tension sleeve 12 and reliably abut against the first conductive member 31 or the second conductive member 41, and when a certain conductive sheet 21 is severely worn, the single conductive sheet 21 can be replaced, that is, the partial replacement of the conductive structure 2 is achieved. In addition, the conductive structure 2 is arranged to include at least two arc-shaped conductive sheets 21, that is, a split structure, which is easier to install and disassemble than the conductive structure 2 is arranged as a whole annular structure.

[0034] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 4 to 7 As shown in , the conductive structure 2 may include a collector ring 5 , which presses the conductive sheet 21 onto the main shaft 11 and electrically connects at least two conductive sheets 21 . Among them, the collector ring 5 has good conductive performance. The collector ring 5 presses the conductive sheet 21 onto the main shaft 11 so that at least two conductive sheets 21 are electrically connected through the collector ring 5. In this way, at least two conductive sheets 21 arranged circumferentially around the main shaft 11 can be electrically connected through the same collector ring 5. In this way, at least two conductive sheets 21 can be arranged at intervals around the circumference of the main shaft 11 to avoid mutual interference between adjacent conductive sheets 21, and ensure that each conductive sheet 21 can abut against the corresponding side of the tensioning sleeve 12, so that it can reliably abut against the first conductive member 31 or the second conductive member 41 under the elastic force of the tensioning sleeve 12. Based on this, when the conductive sheet 21 is worn, the worn conductive sheet 21 can also be affected by the tensioning sleeve 12 and maintain reliable abutment with the first conductive member 31 or the second conductive member 41, thereby ensuring that the electrical connector can maintain a stable usage state for a long time.

[0035] In the present disclosure, a collector ring 5 is provided on the main shaft 11 to electrically connect at least two conductive sheets 21 arranged circumferentially around the main shaft 11 through the collector ring 5, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 41. That is, the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 41 are arranged in sequence around the circumference of the main shaft 11 to realize the rotation of the plug-in terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4 around the central axis of the main shaft 11 respectively.

[0036] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 4 to 8 As shown in , a radial flange 111 is provided on the main shaft 11, and the radial flange 111 has a first limiting groove 112. The conductive sheet 21 has a first end and a second end in the axial direction of the main shaft 11, and the first end is inserted into the limiting groove 112, and the collector ring 5 is pressed on the second end. By setting it in this way, the conductive sheet 21 can be limited between the radial flange 111 and the collector ring 5, so as to avoid the conductive sheet 21 from moving along the axial direction of the main shaft 11, and improve the stability during use.

[0037] In order to further improve the reliability of the conductive sheet 21, refer to Figures 4 to 6 As shown in the figure, first limiting grooves 112 can be provided on both opposite end surfaces of the radial flange 111, and second limiting grooves 51 can be provided on the collector ring 5, so that both ends of the conductive sheet 21 are respectively inserted into the first limiting groove 112 and the second limiting groove 51.

[0038] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in , the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 41 may both include a conductive arm 30, which is configured to be arc-shaped and fits the corresponding conductive sheet 21 in a shape-fitting manner. By providing the arc-shaped conductive arm 30, the conductive arm 30 can better fit the conductive sheet 21, and the contact area between the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 41 and the conductive sheet 21 is increased, thereby improving the reliability of use.

[0039] In the present disclosure, the conductive arm 30 has a conductive layer at one end close to the conductive sheet 21, and the conductive layer is in contact with the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 41, wherein the conductive layer can be made of beryllium copper alloy so that the conductive layer has high strength and good conductivity, thereby reducing the wear of the conductive arm 30 during use.

[0040] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 4 to 6As shown in , the electrical connector may include a monitoring component, which includes a pressure sensor 6. At least one pressure sensor 6 is abutted against the inner side of each conductive sheet 21. The pressure sensor 6 is used to send an alarm signal to the controller when the pressure between the second conductive member 41 or the first conductive member 31 and the corresponding conductive sheet 21 is less than a preset pressure. In the above technical solution, since the pressure sensor 6 is in contact with the conductive sheet 21, when the conductive sheet 21 is worn, the pressure on the pressure sensor 6 is reduced. When the conductive sheet 21 is worn to the point where the pressure value measured by the pressure sensor 6 is less than a preset value, the pressure signal is disconnected and an alarm signal is sent to the controller, so that personnel can replace the conductive sheet 21 in time to ensure the reliability of the electrical connector when it is used.

[0041] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown in , the main shaft 11 can be constructed as a hollow shaft, the pressure sensor 6 is arranged in the main shaft 11, and the main shaft 11 and the tensioning sleeve 12 on the main shaft 11 are both provided with a through hole 10 for the pressure sensor 6 to pass through. By setting the main shaft 11 as a hollow shaft, the pressure sensor 6 can be arranged inside the main shaft 11. After the pressure sensor 6 passes through the through holes 10 on the main shaft 11 and the tensioning sleeve 12, it abuts against the inner side of the corresponding conductive sheet 21, so that the pressure sensor 6 can be arranged according to the position of the conductive sheet 21, so that all the conductive sheets 21 can be detected. Specifically, when the conductive sheet 21 is worn due to friction with the second conductive member 41 or the first conductive member 31, the pressure between the second conductive member 41 or the first conductive member 31 and the corresponding conductive sheet 21 decreases, and the tensioning sleeve 12 recovers its deformation as the pressure decreases, and drives the conductive sheet 21 to move away from the pressure sensor 6. When the pressure between the second conductive member 41 or the first conductive member 31 and the corresponding conductive sheet 21 is less than the preset pressure, the pressure sensor 6 sends an alarm signal to the controller so that the conductive sheet 21 can be replaced to ensure the reliability of the electrical connector.

[0042] In order to facilitate the installation of the pressure sensor 6 , the through hole 10 may be configured to match the structure of the pressure sensor 6 so that the pressure sensor 6 can be snap-fitted into the through hole 10 .

[0043] Among them, the pressure sensors 6 can be set into multiple groups, each group includes a plurality of pressure sensors 6 arranged at intervals around the central axis of the main shaft 11, and each conductive sheet 21 is in contact with at least one pressure sensor 6, so that the second conductive member 41 or the first conductive member 31 and the corresponding conductive sheet 21 can be monitored.

[0044] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown in , the first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 41 are arranged in pairs, the electrical connector includes at least two pairs of the first conductive members 31 and the second conductive members 41, and the main shaft assembly 1 includes a conductive structure 2 electrically connecting each pair of the first conductive members 31 and the second conductive members 41, and at least two conductive structures 2 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the main shaft 11. That is, there are at least two conductive structures 2, and by such arrangement, each pair of the first conductive members 31 and the second conductive members 41 are electrically connected through the corresponding conductive structures 2, so as to connect the corresponding two wire harnesses.

[0045] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 3 to 8 As shown in the figure, a radial flange 111 made of insulating material can be provided on the main shaft 11, and the radial flange 111 separates two adjacent conductive structures 2. By providing the radial flange 111, insulation is provided between the two adjacent conductive structures 2 to ensure that only the paired first conductive member 31 and the second conductive member 41 are electrically connected.

[0046] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 4 to 8 As shown in , each conductive structure 2 may include a collector ring 5, and end covers 13 are respectively connected to the axial sides of the main shaft 11, the end covers 13 are in contact with the collector ring 5 on the same side, and the end covers 13 are detachably connected to the main shaft 11. By setting the end covers 13, the collector ring 5 is limitedly installed on the main shaft 11, so that the conductive sheet 21 is limitedly installed on the main shaft 11, wherein the end covers 13 and the main shaft 11 can be threaded or plug-in connected, and the present disclosure does not impose specific restrictions on this, which is conducive to assembly and disassembly, and provides convenience for subsequent maintenance, wherein the main shaft 11 and the end covers 13 can be made of plastic materials, which is convenient for processing and conducive to lightweight structure.

[0047] In this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in , since each conductive structure 2 includes a collector ring 5 , and each conductive structure 2 includes at least two separately arranged conductive sheets 21 , the corresponding at least two conductive sheets 21 are electrically connected through the collector ring 5 to form a conductive structure 2 .

[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , a lead hole 131 may be provided on one of the end covers 13 , a plurality of pressure sensors 6 may be connected in series, and a lead wire of one of the pressure sensors 6 may be led out through the lead hole 131 so as to be electrically connected to the controller.

[0049] In the exemplary embodiments provided in the present disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 4As shown in , the electrical connector may include two pairs of first conductive members 31 and second conductive members 41, and the two second conductive members 41 are located between the two first conductive members 31 in the axial direction of the main shaft 11; the plug-in terminal 3 includes a first sleeve 32 rotatably connected to the main shaft 11, the first sleeve 32 is sleeved on the main shaft 11 through a first through hole 301, and the conductive arm 30 is exposed in the first through hole 301 and fits with the conductive sheet 21; the outlet terminal 4 includes a second sleeve 42 rotatably connected to the main shaft 11, and the two second conductive members 41 are both arranged in the second sleeve 42. By such an arrangement, the plug-in terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4 are prevented from interfering with each other, and the plug-in terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4 are ensured to rotate independently. In addition, since the two second conductive members 41 are located between the two first conductive members 31 in the axial direction of the main shaft 11, it is convenient to arrange the two second conductive members 41 in the axial space between the two first conductive members 31, thereby improving the compactness of the structure.

[0050] In the present disclosure, in order to ensure the position of the outlet angle of the electrical connector provided by the present disclosure, the first sleeve 32 and the first sleeve 32 can be transitionally matched with the main shaft 11, so that the first sleeve 32 and the first sleeve 32 have a preset friction force with the main shaft 11, thereby ensuring that after the first sleeve 32 and the first sleeve 32 are rotated relative to the main shaft 11, they can be maintained at the adjusted rotation angle position without being subject to external force, that is, to ensure the stability of the outlet angle. In addition, the purpose of fixing the outlet angle can be achieved by increasing the friction between the first sleeve 32 and the first sleeve 32. Of course, other structures that can achieve the above-mentioned purpose can also be used, and the present disclosure does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0051] In the present disclosure, the first conductive member 31 can be embedded in the first sleeve 32 or be integrally formed with the first sleeve 32 by injection molding, wherein the conductive arm 30 of the first conductive member 31 is exposed to the first through hole 301 and is fitted with the conductive sheet 21, and a first plug hole 33 for an external wiring harness to be clamped with the end of the first conductive member 31 away from the conductive arm 30 can be provided on the plug-in terminal 3. Similarly, two second conductive members 41 can also be embedded in the second sleeve 42 or be integrally formed with the second sleeve 42 by injection molding, wherein the conductive arm 30 of the second conductive member 41 is exposed to the first through hole 301 and is fitted with the conductive sheet 21, and a second plug hole 43 for an external wiring harness to be clamped with the end of the second conductive member 41 away from the conductive arm 30 can be provided on the outlet terminal 4, wherein the embedding can be specifically configured to be that an embedding groove (not shown in the figure) is provided in the first sleeve 32 or the second sleeve 42, and the first conductive member 31 or the second conductive member 41 is connected to the embedding groove by interference fit.

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown in , the installation method of the electrical connector provided by the present disclosure will be described in detail below: The required number of tension sleeves 12 are sleeved on the corresponding positions of the main shaft 11, and then the required number of pressure sensors 6 are installed in the main shaft 11. Specifically, each pressure sensor 6 is passed through the corresponding through hole 10 on the main shaft 11 and the tension sleeve 12 to fix the pressure sensor 6 in the corresponding through hole 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown in , thereafter, the collector ring 5 is pre-mounted on the main shaft 11, and an installation gap is reserved between the collector ring 5 and the radial flange 111. Then, a required number of conductive sheets 21, for example, two conductive sheets 21, are placed between the radial flange 111 and each collector ring 5, and the required number of conductive sheets 21 are arranged relatively evenly around the circumference of the main shaft 11. After the required number of conductive sheets 21 are arranged, the collector ring 5 on the corresponding side is pushed so that the required number of conductive sheets 21 are positioned and installed between the radial flange 111 and the corresponding collector ring 5, thereby The conductive sheets 21 located on the same side of the radial flange 111 and distributed along the circumference of the main shaft 11 are electrically connected, that is, the conductive sheets 21 located between the radial flange 111 and the corresponding collector ring 5 are electrically connected. Next, the end cover 13 with the lead-out hole 131 is placed on the corresponding end of the main shaft 11, and the lead of one of the pressure sensors 6 is led out from the lead-out hole 131.
