[0061] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0062] As Figures 1 to 6As shown, the female connector 10 of the present disclosure embodiment is provided with a female connector connection portion 101 and a female connector conductive portion 102. The female connector connection portion 101 is used to connect to an external device, and the female connector conductive portion 102 is used to electrically connect to the external device.

[0063] For the female connector 10 of the present disclosure embodiment, by providing the female connector connection portion 101 and the female connector conductive portion 102, the female connector connection portion 101 is used to connect to an external device to achieve the mechanical connection between the female connector 10 and the external device; the female connector conductive portion 102 is used to electrically connect to the external device to achieve the electrical connection between the female connector 10 and the external device. Thus, the female connector 10 integrates mechanical connection and electrical connection functions, so that mechanical connection and electrical connection can be achieved simultaneously, reducing the number of accessories and lowering the cost.

[0064] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, for example, the external device is a male connector 20, and the female connector 10 is used to connect to the male connector 20. Among them, the male connector 20 includes a male connector connection portion 201 and a male connector conductive portion 202. The female connector connection portion 101 is connected to the male connector connection portion 201, and the female connector conductive portion 102 is electrically connected to the male connector conductive portion 202.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the female connector 10 includes a female connector body 1. The female connector body 1 is provided with a socket hole 103, and the female connector conductive portion 102 is arranged in the socket hole 103. Among them, the socket hole 103 can be inserted by the male connector conductive portion 202.

[0066] By arranging the female connector conductive portion 102 in the socket hole 103, on the one hand, the socket hole 103 can be used to protect the female connector conductive portion 102, improving the reliability of the female connector 10; on the other hand, when the male connector conductive portion 202 is inserted into the socket hole 103, the electrical connection between the male connector 20 and the female connector 10 is realized, facilitating the electrical connection between the male connector 20 and the female connector 10.

[0067] Optionally, as Figure 6 shown, the female connector conductive portion 102 includes an annular portion. The annular portion is arranged around the circumferential direction of the socket hole 103, and the annular portion is used to electrically connect to an external device. Among them, the annular portion can be inserted by the male connector conductive portion 202.

[0068] By setting the female connector conductive portion 102 to include an annular portion, and using the annular portion to contact the male connector conductive portion 202, the electrical connection area between the male connector 20 and the female connector 10 can be increased, improving the electrical connection reliability between the male connector 20 and the female connector 10. In addition, during the rotation of the female connector 10, the male connector 20 and the female connector 10 can also maintain electrical connection.

[0069] As shown in Figure 6 , the male conductive part 202 includes an annular contact surface which is arranged around the circumference of the insertion hole 103 and contacts with the annular part.

[0070] Optionally, as shown in Figures 7 to 9 , the annular part includes a crown spring 2 and an annular conductor 31. The annular conductor 31 is fixed in the insertion hole 103, and the crown spring 2 is arranged in the annular conductor 31 and connected to the annular conductor 31. The crown spring 2 is used for electrical connection with an external device. Among them, the crown spring 2 can be used to contact with the male conductive part 202.

[0071] By setting the annular part to include the crown spring 2 and the annular conductor 31, and using the crown spring 2 to contact with the male conductive part 202, the contact reliability between the female conductive part 102 and the male conductive part 202 can be improved, and the electrical connection reliability between the connector male head 20 and the connector female seat 10 can be improved. In addition, by setting the annular conductor 31 and arranging the crown spring 2 in the annular conductor 31, the fixing stability of the crown spring 2 in the insertion hole 103 can be improved, and the reliability of the connector female seat 10 can be improved.

[0072] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the crown spring 2 includes a ring body 21 which is in interference fit with the annular conductor 31.

[0073] By making the ring body 21 in interference fit with the annular conductor 31, the connection reliability between the crown spring 2 and the annular conductor 31 can be improved, and the reliability of the connector female seat 10 can be further improved.

[0074] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 9 , at least one axial end of the crown spring 2 is provided with a fixing piece 22, and at least a part of the fixing piece 22 is bent so that the annular conductor 31 is clamped and fixed between the fixing piece 22 and the crown spring 2. Among them, the fixing piece 22 and the annular conductor 31 can be welded or riveted.

[0075] Among them, the fixing piece 22 can be connected to the ring body 21, and the annular conductor 31 is clamped and fixed between the fixing piece 22 and the ring body 21.

[0076] By setting the fixing piece 22 and clamping the annular conductor 31 between the fixing piece 22 and the ring body 21, the connection reliability between the crown spring 2 and the annular conductor 31 can be improved, and the reliability of the connector female seat 10 can be further improved.

[0077] To make the technical solution of the present disclosure easier to understand, the following takes the axial direction of the insertion hole 103 being consistent with the up and down direction as an example to further describe the technical solution of the present disclosure. Among them, the up and down direction is as shown in Figures 1 to 18 .

[0078] For example, as Figure 7 and Figure 9 shown, a fixing piece 22 is provided at the upper end of the crown spring 2, and a part of the fixing piece 22 is bent downward so that the annular conductor 31 is clamped and fixed between the fixing piece 22 and the ring body 21.

[0079] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the number of female seat conductive parts 102 is multiple, and the multiple female seat conductive parts 102 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the insertion hole 103. Among two adjacent female seat conductive parts 102, the minimum inner diameter of the annular part provided near the orifice 1031 of the insertion hole 103 is greater than the minimum inner diameter of the annular part provided away from the orifice 1031 of the insertion hole 103.

[0080] As Figure 6 shown, the number of male head conductive parts 202 is multiple, and the multiple male head conductive parts 202 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the insertion hole 103. Among two adjacent male head conductive parts 202, the outer diameter of the male head conductive part 202 provided near the orifice 1031 of the insertion hole 103 is greater than the outer diameter of the male head conductive part 202 provided away from the orifice 1031 of the insertion hole 103.

[0081] For example, the number of female seat conductive parts 102 is three, and the three female seat conductive parts 102 are arranged at intervals in the up and down direction. The orifice 1031 of the insertion hole 103 is provided at the upper end of the insertion hole 103. Among two adjacent female seat conductive parts 102 in the up and down direction, the minimum inner diameter of the annular part of the upper female seat conductive part 102 is greater than the minimum inner diameter of the annular part of the lower female seat conductive part 102. Among two adjacent male head conductive parts 202 in the up and down direction, the outer diameter of the upper male head conductive part 202 is greater than the outer diameter of the lower male head conductive part 202.

[0082] By designing the multiple female seat conductive parts 102 as above, it can effectively avoid the interference between the female seat conductive part 102 and the non-corresponding male head conductive part 202 when the male head conductive part 202 is connected to the female seat conductive part 102, and improve the connection efficiency between the connector female seat 10 and the connector male head 20. Among them, when the connector female seat 10 is connected to the connector male head 20, if the female seat conductive part 102 is electrically connected to the male head conductive part 202, it is considered that the female seat conductive part 102 corresponds to the male head conductive part 202; if there is no electrical connection between the female seat conductive part 102 and the male head conductive part 202, it is considered that the female seat conductive part 102 does not correspond to the male head conductive part 202.

[0083] Optionally, the insertion hole 103 includes multiple insertion segments, and the insertion segments correspond to the annular parts one by one, and the annular parts are arranged in the corresponding insertion segments.

[0084] By providing multiple insertion segments with the annular portion disposed within the corresponding insertion segment, it is conducive to improving the assembly accuracy of the female seat conductive part 102 within the insertion hole 103, and further enhancing the reliability of the female connector seat 10.

[0085] Optionally, the outer side surface of the annular portion is in contact with the hole wall of the corresponding insertion segment.

[0086] For example, among two adjacent upper and lower insertion segments, the inner diameter of the upper insertion segment is greater than that of the lower insertion segment.

[0087] By bringing the outer side surface of the annular portion into contact with the hole wall of the corresponding insertion segment, radial limitation of the annular portion within the insertion hole 103 can be achieved, facilitating radial limitation of the female seat conductive part 102 within the insertion hole 103.

[0088] Optionally, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the female seat conductive part 102 further includes a connecting piece 32. The connecting piece 32 is disposed outside the annular conductor 31. One end of the connecting piece 32 is electrically connected to the annular conductor 31, and the other end of the connecting piece 32 is for electrical connection to a power source.

[0089] By providing the connecting piece 32 electrically connected to the annular conductor 31 and using the connecting piece 32 to achieve electrical connection between the annular conductor 31 and the power source, it is conducive to enhancing the connection reliability between the power source and the annular conductor 31, and further improving the reliability of the female connector seat 10.

[0090] Optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the female connector seat 10 further includes a wire 4. The female seat body 1 is provided with a wire passing hole communicating with the insertion hole 103, and the wire passing hole is for the wire 4 to pass through. One end of the wire 4 is electrically connected to the other end of the connecting piece 32, and the other end of the wire 4 is for electrical connection to a power source.

[0091] By providing the wire 4, it facilitates the electrical connection between the connecting piece 32 and the female seat conductive part 102.

[0092] Optionally, as Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, the female seat body 1 is provided with a sealing groove 123. The wire passing hole is disposed within the sealing groove 123, and a fixing body 124 is provided within the sealing groove 123. The fixing body 124 wraps the connection part of the connecting piece 32 and the wire 4.

[0093] Among them, the fixing body 124 can be a sealant or an injection molded part.

[0094] By arranging the wire passing hole in the sealing groove 123 and arranging the fixing body 124 in the sealing groove 123, the sealing of the wire passing hole can be achieved by using the fixing body 124, which can prevent water vapor and the like from entering the insertion hole 103 through the wire passing hole, resulting in problems such as short circuit in the female seat connecting portion 101. In addition, the fixing body 124 wraps the connection part of the connecting piece 32 and the wire 4, which can improve the connection reliability between the connecting piece 32 and the wire 4. Thus, the reliability of the connector female seat 10 can be improved.

[0095] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, the female seat body 1 includes a first seat body 11 and a second seat body 12. The female seat conductive portion 102 is arranged in the first seat body 11, and the female seat connecting portion 101 is arranged in the second seat body 12.

[0096] It can be understood that the female seat conductive portion 102 is used to achieve electrical connection and has relatively high requirements for insulation performance; the female seat connecting portion 101 is used to achieve mechanical connection and has relatively high requirements for structural strength. Therefore, the performance requirements for the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 are different.

[0097] By arranging the female seat body 1 to include the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12, and arranging the female seat conductive portion 102 in the first seat body 11 and the female seat connecting portion 101 in the second seat body 12, the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 can be designed differently according to requirements to improve the performance of the connector female seat 10.

[0098] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, a part of the insertion hole 103 is arranged in the first seat body 11, another part of the insertion hole 103 is arranged in the second seat body 12, and the female seat connecting portion 101 is arranged in the insertion hole 103.

[0099] By arranging the female seat connecting portion 101 in the insertion hole 103, after the connector male head 20 is inserted into the connector female seat 10, the electrical connection and mechanical connection between the connector male head 20 and the connector female seat 10 can be achieved simultaneously. Thus, it is convenient to realize the connection between the connector male head 20 and the connector female seat 10, which is beneficial to improving the connection efficiency between the connector male head 20 and the connector female seat 10.

[0100] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the part of the insertion hole 103 arranged in the first seat body 11 is the first hole section 110, and the part of the insertion hole 103 arranged in the second seat body 12 is the second hole section 120. The hole opening 1031 of the insertion hole 103 is arranged in the second hole section 120, and the first hole section 110 is arranged on the side of the second hole section 120 away from the hole opening 1031.

[0101] For example, the second hole section 120 is provided on the upper side of the first hole section 110, the female seat connecting portion 101 is provided on the upper side of the female seat conductive portion 102, and the female seat connecting portion 101 is disposed within the second hole section 120, while the female seat conductive portion 102 is disposed within the first hole section 110.

[0102] By disposing the female seat conductive portion 102 on the side of the female seat connecting portion 101 away from the hole opening 1031, such that the female seat conductive portion 102 is disposed away from the hole opening 1031, the protection of the female seat conductive portion 102 can be better achieved, further enhancing the reliability of the female connector seat 10.

[0103] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, internal threads are provided within the second hole section 120, and the internal threads form the female seat connecting portion 101.

[0104] As Figure 6 shown, the male connector connecting portion 201 is provided with external threads, and the external threads are threadedly connected to the internal threads. Among them, the second hole section 120 can be a 1 / 4 threaded hole.

[0105] By providing internal threads within the second hole section 120 and utilizing the threaded connection between the internal threads and the male connector connecting portion 201, the mechanical connection between the female seat connecting portion 101 and the male connector connecting portion 201 can be conveniently achieved.

[0106] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the second seat body 12 further includes an external connecting portion 105, and the external connecting portion 105 is disposed on the side of the insertion hole 103 away from the hole opening 1031. The external connecting portion 105 is used to fix the female connector seat 10.

[0107] For example, the external connecting portion 105 is provided on the lower side of the insertion hole 103. The external connecting portion 105 is used to connect to the center console to achieve the connection between the female connector seat 10 and the center console.

[0108] By providing the external connecting portion 105, the installation and fixation of the female connector seat 10 can be conveniently achieved.

[0109] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the external connecting portion 105 is a screw.

[0110] For example, the center console is provided with a threaded hole, and the screw is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0111] By setting the external connecting portion 105 as a screw, the installation and fixation of the female connector seat 10 can be further conveniently achieved.

[0112] Optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first body 11 includes a first housing 111 and a second housing 112 arranged radially along the insertion hole 103. The first housing 111 and the second housing 112 are connected and enclose at least a part of the insertion hole 103. As Figures 10 to 12 shown, the first housing 111 is provided with a first opening 1111 facing the second housing 112, and the second housing 112 is provided with a second opening 1122 facing the first housing 111. Both the first opening 1111 and the second opening 1122 are for the annular part to pass through so that the annular part can be inserted into the insertion hole 103.

[0113] By setting the first body 11 to include the first housing 111 and the second housing 112, when assembling the female connector 10, the annular part can be inserted into the first housing 111 radially from the first opening 1111 of the first housing 111 first. Then, the second housing 112 is aligned with the first housing 111. Among them, the annular part enters the second housing 112 through the second opening 1121, and the second housing 112 is connected to the first housing 111, so that the annular part is inserted into the insertion hole 103 enclosed by the first housing 111 and the second housing 112.

[0114] Thus, it is convenient to realize the assembly of the annular part and the first body 11, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the female connector 10.

[0115] Optionally, both the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 are plastic shells, and the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 are snap-connected.

[0118] Optionally, a limiting groove extending along the axial direction of the insertion hole 103 is provided in the insertion hole 103, and at least one axial end of the annular part is provided with a limiting protrusion 33, and the limiting protrusion 33 is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0119] By providing a limiting groove in the insertion hole 103, providing a limiting protrusion 33 on the annular part, and inserting the limiting protrusion 33 into the limiting groove, circumferential limitation of the annular part in the insertion hole 103 can be achieved. Thus, the fixing stability of the female seat connection part 101 in the circumferential direction of the insertion hole 103 is improved, and the reliability of the female connector 10 is further improved.

[0120] Optionally, the annular conductor 31, the connecting piece 32 and the limiting protrusion 33 are of an integral structure, and the annular conductor 31, the connecting piece 32 and the limiting protrusion 33 form the fixing member 3.

[0121] Optionally, as Figure 10 and Figure 12 shown, the first housing 111 is provided with a first limiting portion 1112, the second housing 112 is provided with a second limiting portion 1123, and the first limiting portion 1112 and the second limiting portion 1123 enclose a limiting groove.

[0122] By providing the first limiting portion 1112 on the first housing 111 and the second limiting portion 1123 on the second housing 112, when the annular part is inserted into the first housing 111, a part of the limiting protrusion 33 is located within the first limiting portion 1112 of the first housing 111; and when the second housing 112 is connected to the first housing 111, the other part of the limiting protrusion 33 is located within the second limiting portion 1123 of the second housing 112.

[0123] Thereby, it is convenient to assemble the annular part, the first housing 111 and the second housing 112, and further improve the assembly efficiency of the female connector 10.

[0124] Optionally, as Figure 10 and Figure 12 shown, a plurality of limiting ribs 1032 are provided in the insertion hole 103, and the plurality of limiting ribs 1032 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the insertion hole 103, and the two axial ends of the annular part respectively abut against two adjacent limiting ribs 1032.

[0125] For example, the plurality of limiting ribs 1032 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction, the upper end of the annular part abuts upward against the limiting rib 1032 on the upper side, and the lower end of the annular part abuts downward against the limiting rib 1032 on the lower side.

[0126] By providing the limiting ribs 1032 in the insertion hole 103 and the two axial ends of the annular part respectively abutting against two adjacent limiting ribs 1032, the axial limit of the female connector 10 in the axial direction of the insertion hole 103 can be realized. Thereby, the fixing stability of the female connector portion 101 in the axial direction of the insertion hole 103 is improved, and the reliability of the female connector 10 is further improved.

[0127] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, the second seat body 12 is provided with an installation cavity 104, and the first seat body 11 is arranged in the installation cavity 104.

[0128] By providing the installation cavity 104 in the second seat body 12 and arranging the first seat body 11 in the installation cavity 104, the integration degree of the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 can be improved, and the volume of the female connector 10 can be reduced.

[0129] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the second housing 12 arranges a third housing 121 and a fourth housing 122 along the radial direction of the insertion hole 103. The third housing 121 and the fourth housing 122 are connected and enclose an installation cavity 104. As shown in Figures 15 to 17 shown, the third housing 121 is provided with a third opening 1211 facing the fourth housing 122, and the fourth housing 122 is provided with a fourth opening 1222 facing the third housing 121. Both the third opening 1211 and the fourth opening 1222 are for the first housing 11 to pass through, so that the first housing 11 can be inserted into the installation cavity 104.

[0130] By setting the second housing 12 to include the third housing 121 and the fourth housing 122, the first housing 11 can be radially inserted into the third housing 121 from the third opening 1211 of the third housing 121 first; then, the fourth housing 122 is aligned with the third housing 121. Among them, the first housing 11 enters the fourth housing 122 through the fourth opening 1222, and the fourth housing 122 is connected to the third housing 121, so that the first housing 11 is inserted into the installation cavity 104 enclosed by the third housing 121 and the fourth housing 122.

[0131] Thus, it is convenient to realize the assembly of the annular part, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the female connector 10.

[0132] Optionally, the third housing 121 is a metal shell, and the female connector connecting part 101 is arranged on the third housing 121, and the fourth housing 122 is a plastic shell.

[0133] By setting the third housing 121 as a metal shell and arranging the female connector connecting part 101 on the third housing 121, it is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the female connector connecting part 101, improve the connection reliability between the male connector connecting part 201 and the female connector connecting part 101, and thus improve the connection reliability between the male connector 20 and the female connector 10. In addition, setting the fourth housing 122 as a plastic shell is beneficial to reducing the cost of the female connector 10.

[0134] Optionally, the third housing 121 and the fourth housing 122 are integrally injection-molded.

[0135] For example, after the first housing 11 is inserted into the third housing 121, the third housing 121 together with the first housing 11 and the like are placed in an injection mold, and the fourth housing 122 is injection-molded in the injection mold.

[0136] By integrally injection-molding the third housing 121 and the fourth housing 122, it is convenient for the assembly of the third housing 121 and the fourth housing 122, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the female connector 10.

[0137] Optionally, as shown inFigure 15 and Figure 17 As shown, the third shell 121 is provided with an injection hole 1212 , and the fourth shell 122 is injection molded with an injection column 1224 , and the injection column 1224 is injection molded in the injection hole 1212 .

[0138] By providing the injection holes 1212 and the injection columns 1224 , the bonding force between the third shell 121 and the fourth shell 122 can be improved, and the connection reliability between the third shell 121 and the fourth shell 122 can be improved.

[0139] Alternatively, if Figure 12 As shown, the first seat body 11 is provided with a first wire hole 1121 which is connected to the plug hole 103, and the first wire hole 1121 is for the wire 4 to pass through. Figure 1 As shown, the second base body 12 is provided with a second wire-passing hole 1221 communicating with the mounting cavity 104 , and the second wire-passing hole 1221 is for the wire 4 to pass through.

[0140] The first wire passing hole 1121 and the sealing groove 123 may be provided on the first shell 111 , and the second wire passing hole 1221 may be provided on the fourth shell 122 .

[0141] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 17 As shown, the plug hole 103 is a through hole, so that the plug hole 103 is connected with the installation cavity 104. A drainage hole 1223 is provided at the bottom of the second seat body 12, and the drainage hole 1223 is connected with the installation cavity 104.

[0142] For example, the plug hole 103 is a through hole that penetrates in the up-down direction, and a drainage hole 1223 is provided at the lower part of the second seat body 12. When liquid such as water enters the plug hole 103, it can flow out to the outside of the female seat body 1 through the drainage hole 1223.

[0143] As a result, the liquid in the plug hole 103 can be easily discharged to the outside of the connector socket 10 .

[0144] Optionally, the drainage hole 1223 extends in the radial direction of the plug hole 103 , and the bottom wall of the drainage hole 1223 is gradually inclined in the radial outward direction away from the orifice 1031 of the plug hole 103 .

[0145] Herein, inward refers to a direction close to the axis of the plug hole 103 in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the plug hole 103 ; outward refers to a direction away from the axis of the plug hole 103 in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the plug hole 103 .

[0146] It can be understood that the liquid in the plug hole 103 first flows to the bottom of the plug hole 103 under the action of its own gravity, and then flows out through the drainage hole 1223 in a direction from inside to outside.

[0147] By setting the bottom surface of the liquid discharge hole 1223 to gradually decrease in the radially outward direction, the liquid in the liquid discharge hole 1223 can automatically flow to the outside of the liquid discharge hole 1223 by its own gravity, further facilitating the discharge of the liquid in the insertion hole 103 to the outside of the female connector housing 10.

[0148] Optionally, as Figure 18 shown, the wire 4 is connected to the wire-to-board connector 30, and the wire-to-board connector 30 is electrically connected to an external power supply.

[0149] For example, the wire-to-board connector 30 is electrically connected to the power supply of the vehicle, and the power supply of the vehicle is used to supply power to the female connector housing 10.

[0150] Optionally, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the female connector housing 10 further includes a sealing plug 5, and the sealing plug 5 is used to block the orifice 1031 of the insertion hole 103.

[0151] It can be understood that when the female connector housing 10 is not connected to the male connector 20, the orifice 1031 of the insertion hole 103 is open, and it is easy for impurities such as dust to enter. By providing the sealing plug 5 to block the orifice 1031 of the insertion hole 103, it is possible to prevent impurities such as dust from entering the insertion hole 103 and improve the reliability of the female connector housing 10. In addition, when the female connector housing 10 is connected to the male connector 20, the sealing plug 5 is first removed, and then the male conductive part 202 of the male connector 20 is inserted into the insertion hole 103.
