Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0036] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through a connection medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] This application provides a connector 100, such as... Figures 1-10 As shown, it includes a fixing component group 1 and terminals; the fixing component group 1 includes a plurality of fixing components 10 connected together, the plurality of fixing components 10 being connected along a first direction; the fixing component 10 has at least a first mating part 11 and a second mating part 12, the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 12 being respectively disposed on two end faces of the fixing component 10 disposed opposite to each other along the first direction, and two adjacent fixing components 10 being detachably connected by the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 12 engaging.

[0039] In this embodiment, only one fixing component 10 needs to be manufactured to assemble fixing component groups 1 of various specifications to accommodate connectors 100 with multiple terminal quantities. There is no need to re-mold and manufacture fixing component groups 1 for each terminal quantity specification, which greatly saves production and manufacturing costs. At the same time, it can also reduce mold complexity and improve production yield.

[0040] If the fixing component group 1 is damaged, it is not necessary to replace the entire fixing component group 1. Only the damaged fixing component 10 needs to be replaced, which greatly saves maintenance costs.

[0041] In other embodiments, a receiving groove is formed between two adjacent fixing members 10 to receive the terminal 20. The two adjacent fixing members 10 can be disassembled and installed to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the terminal 20.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 12 cooperate to achieve a detachable connection between two adjacent fixed members 10.

[0043] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the first mating part 11 is a cylinder, and the second mating part 12 is a circular groove. The cylinder passes through the circular groove to achieve a detachable connection between two adjacent fixed components 10.

[0044] In this embodiment, a cylinder is inserted into a circular groove to achieve a detachable connection between two adjacent fixed components 10. The advantage is that product shape and size errors have less impact on this fitting method, which is more conducive to improving the yield rate and facilitating the rapid installation of the two fixed components 10. If a quadrilateral cylinder is used with a quadrilateral groove, or a pentagonal cylinder with a pentagonal groove, fitting them together becomes extremely difficult if there are errors in shape or size.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cylindrical first mating part 11 and the circular groove-shaped second mating part 12 are mated to achieve a detachable connection between two adjacent fixed members 10.

[0046] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the projections of the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 12 in the first direction at least partially overlap.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fact that the projections of the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 12 at least partially overlap in the first direction facilitates the mating between the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 12, improving assembly efficiency. This also helps prevent misalignment of the two mating fixed components 10, thus improving the stability of the fixed component assembly 1. Conversely, if the projections of the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 12 do not overlap at all in the first direction, misalignment of the two mating fixed components 10 would occur, hindering the formation of a periodically ordered fixed component assembly 1 and negatively impacting its stability.

[0048] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the connector 100 also includes a terminal 20, and a receiving portion 30 is formed between two adjacent fixing members 10 for receiving the terminal 20.

[0049] In this embodiment, a receiving portion 30 is formed between two adjacent fixing members 10. The receiving portion 30 is used to receive the terminal 20. Since the two adjacent fixing members 10 are detachably connected, it is convenient to install and remove the terminal 20.

[0050] In some other embodiments, a plurality of receiving portions 30 are formed between two adjacent fixing members 10. The plurality of receiving portions 30 are used to accommodate a plurality of terminals 20. The receiving portions 30 correspond one-to-one with the terminals 20. The multiple terminals 20 are suitable for more application scenarios, thereby improving the application range and practicality of the connector 100.

[0051] In some other embodiments, a plurality of receiving portions 30 are formed between two adjacent fixing members 10. The plurality of receiving portions 30 are used to accommodate a terminal 20, so that the terminal 20 can be better accommodated between the two adjacent fixing members 10, which is more conducive to preventing the terminal 20 from moving due to external force. This helps to avoid problems such as misalignment, deformation or failure of the terminal 20 due to movement of the terminal 20 caused by external force.

[0052] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the fixing member 10 has at least a groove 31 and a protrusion 32. The groove 31 and the protrusion 32 are respectively disposed on two end faces of the fixing member 10 that are disposed opposite to each other along the first direction. Two adjacent fixing members 10 cooperate through the groove 31 and the protrusion 32 to form a receiving portion 30.

[0053] In this embodiment, two adjacent fixing members 10 cooperate through a groove 31 and a protrusion 32 to form a receiving portion 30. When the terminal 20 needs to be installed and removed, the groove 31 and the protrusion 32 can be removed to install and remove the terminal, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the terminal 20.

[0054] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the groove 31 has a first fixing part 311, and the terminal 20 has a second fixing part 202. The first fixing part 311 and the second fixing part 202 cooperate to fix the terminal 20 in the receiving part 30.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first fixing part 311 and the second fixing part 202 cooperate to fix the terminal 20 within the receiving part 30, preventing the terminal 20 from shifting due to external forces. This helps to avoid problems such as misalignment, deformation, or failure of the terminal 20 due to shifting caused by external forces.

[0056] In other embodiments, the terminal 20 has a plurality of second fixing portions 202, and the fixing member 10 has a plurality of first fixing portions 311. The plurality of second fixing portions 202 and the plurality of first fixing portions 311 are matched one-to-one, so that the terminal 20 can be fixed in the receiving portion 30, which is more conducive to preventing the terminal 20 from moving due to external force. This helps to prevent problems such as misalignment, deformation or failure of the terminal 20 caused by the terminal moving due to external force.

[0057] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, terminal 20 includes a first terminal portion 21 and a second terminal portion 22, which are connected to terminal connection 23, and an included angle is formed between the first terminal portion 21 and the second terminal portion 22; fixing member 10 includes a first sub-component portion 101 and a second sub-component portion 102, which are connected to connection portion, and an included angle is formed between the first sub-component portion 101 and the second sub-component portion 102; a first receiving portion 301 is formed between two adjacent first sub-component portions 101, and a second receiving portion 302 is formed between two adjacent second sub-component portions 102; the first terminal portion 21 is received in the first receiving portion 301, and the second terminal portion 22 is received in the second receiving portion 302.

[0058] In this embodiment, by setting an angle between the first terminal portion 21 and the second terminal portion 22, it is convenient for the terminal 20 to connect two conductors that are spatially arranged at an angle. For example, connecting two conductors located at a bend, etc., allows the connector 100 to be applied to more scenarios, improving the application range and practicality of the connector 100.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first sub-component 101 and the second sub-component 102 have an included angle. A first receiving portion 301 is formed between two adjacent first sub-components 101, and a second receiving portion 302 is formed between two adjacent second sub-components 102. The first terminal portion 21 is received within the first receiving portion 301, and the second terminal portion 22 is received within the second receiving portion 302. This better secures the terminal 20 and prevents deformation or misalignment of the terminal 20 due to external forces. This improves the stability of the connector 100 connection. Specifically, the included angle between the first terminal portion 21 and the second terminal portion 22 of the terminal 20 makes it very easy for the included angle to change due to external forces. If there are no matching fixing portions to secure the first terminal portion 21 and the second terminal portion 22 of the terminal 20 respectively, the change in the included angle between the first sub-component 101 and the second sub-component 102 of the terminal 20 due to external forces will lead to unstable connection or connection failure of the terminal 20.

[0060] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10As shown, the first sub-component 101 has a first mating part 11 and a second mating part 12, and the connecting part has a third mating part 13 and a fourth mating part 14. The third mating part 13 and the fourth mating part 14 are respectively disposed on two end faces of the fixing member 10 that are disposed opposite to each other along the first direction. Two adjacent fixing members 10 are connected detachably by the third mating part 13 and the fourth mating part 14.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first sub-component 101 has a first mating part 11 and a second mating part 12, and the connecting part has a third mating part 13 and a fourth mating part 14. The third mating part 13 and the fourth mating part 14 are respectively disposed on two end faces of the fixing member 10 that are disposed opposite each other along the first direction. Two adjacent fixing members 10 are connected detachably by mating with the third mating part 13 and the fourth mating part 14. The stability of the connection is improved by further mating with the third mating part 13 and the fourth mating part 14 on top of the mating with the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 12. This prevents the mating of two adjacent fixing members 10 from failing due to the failure of one mating part. Furthermore, the mating with multiple mating parts helps to prevent misalignment of two mating adjacent fixing members 10 due to external forces, thus improving the stability of the connection.

[0062] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the fixing member 10 includes a third sub-component 103, which is disposed between the first sub-component 101 and the second sub-component 102. The third sub-component 103 is connected to the connecting part. The third sub-component 103 has at least a fifth mating part 15 and a sixth mating part 16. The fifth mating part 15 and the sixth mating part 16 are respectively disposed on two end faces of the fixing member 10 that are disposed opposite to each other along the first direction. Two adjacent fixing members 10 are connected detachably by the fifth mating part 15 and the sixth mating part 16.

[0063] In this embodiment, the fixing member 10 includes a third sub-component 103, which is disposed between the first sub-component 101 and the second sub-component 102. The third sub-component 103 is connected to the connecting portion. The third sub-component 103 has at least a fifth mating portion 15 and a sixth mating portion 16, which are respectively disposed on two end faces of the fixing member 10 that are opposite each other along a first direction. Adjacent fixing members 10 are detachably connected by mating with the fifth mating portion 15 and the sixth mating portion 16. Thus, the connection stability is improved by further mating with the fifth mating portion 15 and the sixth mating portion 16 on top of the mating with the first mating portion 11 and the second mating portion 12. This prevents the mating of adjacent fixing members 10 from failing due to the failure of a single mating portion. Furthermore, the mating of multiple mating portions helps to prevent misalignment of two mating adjacent fixing members 10 due to external forces, thus improving the stability of the connection.

[0064] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, the fixing member 10 includes a third sub-component portion 103, and a third receiving portion 303 is formed between two adjacent third sub-component portions 103. The terminal connection portion 23 is received within the third receiving portion 303.

[0065] In this embodiment, a third receiving portion 303 is formed between two adjacent third sub-component portions 103, and the terminal connection 23 is received in the third receiving portion 303. This provides structural support for the terminal connection 23, effectively preventing deformation of the terminal connection 23 due to external forces. It also makes it easier to fix the terminal 20, and helps to prevent unstable connection or connection failure of the terminal 20 due to deformation or misalignment of the terminal 20.

[0066] In some embodiments, the fixing member 10 is made of an insulating material, which helps prevent electric shock and improves the safety performance of the connector 100. Furthermore, the insulating material can be rubber, ceramics, plastic products, etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0067] In some implementations, such as Figures 5-10 As shown, the connector 100 also includes a housing 40, in which the fixing member assembly 1 is housed.

[0068] In this embodiment, the fixing component group 1 is housed within the housing 40, so that the user's hand has a point of leverage on the connector 100, making it convenient for the user to operate.

[0069] In some implementations, such as Figures 5-10As shown, the housing 40 has a first limiting part 41 and a second limiting part 42 disposed in the second direction. The fixing member assembly 1 has a first end face 181 and a second end face 182 disposed opposite to each other in the second direction. The first limiting part 41 abuts against the first end face 181 and the second limiting part 42 abuts against the second end face 182 to restrict the movement of the fixing member assembly 1 in the second direction.

[0070] In this embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 9 to 10 As shown, the first limiting part 41 abuts against the first end face 181, and the second limiting part 42 abuts against the second end face 182. By providing the limiting parts, the movement of the fixing component assembly 1 in the second direction is restricted, so that the fixing component assembly 1 can be fixed inside the housing 40, avoiding misalignment or deformation of the fixing component assembly 1 due to external forces, which would lead to connection failure. This improves the stability of the connector 100 operation.

[0071] In other embodiments, a third direction exists, perpendicular to the second direction. The housing 40 has a third limiting portion and a fourth limiting portion disposed in the third direction. The fixing member assembly 1 has a third end face and a fourth end face disposed opposite to each other along the third direction. The third limiting portion abuts against the third end face, and the fourth limiting portion abuts against the fourth end face, thereby restricting the movement of the fixing member assembly 1 in the third direction. By providing the limiting portion, the movement of the fixing member assembly 1 in the third direction is restricted so that the fixing member assembly 1 can be fixed within the housing 40.

[0072] In other embodiments, the shape of the terminal 20 can be arbitrary, such as being thicker or coarser, and this application does not impose specific limitations; the shape of the fixing member can also be arbitrary, such as being thicker or coarser, and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0073] According to a second aspect of this application, a connector assembly is provided, which includes the connector 100 as described in the first aspect, and the connector assembly has all the beneficial effects of the connector 100 provided in the first aspect, which will not be repeated here.

[0074] In other implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the connector assembly may also include a connector 100 and a mating end 200, which are connected to achieve circuit connection.
