Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to an adaptive environmentally adjustable automotive connector. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive connector terminals are plug-in components of automotive electrical systems. They are mainly used to achieve reliable electrical conduction between wire harnesses and between wire harnesses and various electrical components, and to carry out the transmission of current and electrical signals. They also support quick disassembly, assembly, inspection and maintenance, effectively ensuring stable power supply and signal communication for various electrical equipment such as vehicle lights, sensors, and controllers.
[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN117937192A discloses a connector for new energy vehicles and its installation method. The connector includes a first connecting terminal, a second connecting terminal, and a locking structure. A support post is mounted on a support plate, and a rotating base is rotatably connected to the support post. A carrier plate is mounted on the rotating base, and a terminal block is connected to the carrier plate. A conductive groove is provided on the side wall of the support post, and a conductive slip ring is provided on the rotating base, slidingly engaging with the conductive groove. An inner core is disposed within a base shell, which is engaged with the rotating base. A terminal post is connected to the inner core and plugged into the terminal block. A first cable is electrically connected to the terminal block, and a second cable is electrically connected to the terminal post. This application can improve the situation where cables are prone to twisting and deformation after being connected through the connector, thus extending the cable's service life.
[0004] Most of the existing automotive connector terminals have fixed internal conductive components with unchangeable conductive paths. When internal conductive components are damaged by oxidation, burning, or loose connections, the conductive paths cannot be flexibly adjusted or switched. The entire connector terminal must be disassembled and replaced, which is cumbersome, requires a large amount of maintenance work, and lacks backup paths. Once a path fails, it can easily cause the vehicle components to shut down. The equipment has poor fault tolerance and seriously affects the reliability of the vehicle circuit and the efficiency of maintenance.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides an adaptive environmental adjustable automotive connection terminal. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive environmental adjustable automotive connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] An adaptive, adjustable automotive connector includes a female connector and a male connector. A first wire is symmetrically connected inside the female connector, and a second wire is symmetrically connected inside the male connector. Conductive posts are symmetrically connected to the male connector. Conductive cylinders corresponding to the conductive posts are symmetrically arranged inside the female connector. Both the female and male connectors have movable slots. Connecting blocks are symmetrically arranged within the movable slots, and each connecting block is electrically connected to its corresponding first and second wires. Conductive plates are arrayed within the movable slots, and each conductive plate is electrically connected to its corresponding conductive post and conductive cylinder. The sliding block is symmetrically arranged with guide rods inside. A through hole corresponding to the guide rod is provided in the sliding block, and the guide rod passes through the through hole. A conductive block is embedded in the side of the sliding block, and the conductive block is electrically connected to a corresponding conductive sheet. A conductive wire is connected to the sliding block, and the conductive block and the connecting block are electrically connected through the conductive wire. A positioning mechanism is provided inside the sliding block. A first frame is provided on the female connector, and a second frame is provided on the male connector. Both the first and second frames have grooves corresponding to the sliding slot. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the sliding block is provided in the groove.
[0008] By adopting the above scheme, when using the adaptive environmental adjustable automotive connector terminal, the first and second wires are electrically connected to their corresponding components. The female and male connectors are then mated together, and the conductive post is inserted into the conductive cylinder to establish a transmission channel, enabling the transmission of electrical energy or signals. During prolonged use, if the conductive post and conductive cylinder in the transmission channel become loose or experience other malfunctions leading to unstable signal transmission, the control adjustment mechanism can adjust the position of the slider. As the slider moves, it is guided by the through-hole and guide rod, ensuring smooth movement. This movement of the slider then drives the conductive block to move, bringing it to a predetermined position where it contacts the corresponding conductive sheet. It can switch the conduction relationship between different connection terminals. When one channel fails, the backup channel can be switched to continue working, reducing the risk of direct equipment failure and shutdown. It can avoid the direct power failure and shutdown of related components in the vehicle due to a single channel failure, improve the fault tolerance of the vehicle circuit, and ensure the continuous operation of the equipment without the need to immediately disassemble the maintenance terminal. It reduces the impact of failure shutdown, improves the working reliability and safety of the connection terminal, and can also adjust the position of the conductive block to separate it from the connected conductive sheet, directly cutting off the transmission channel. It can realize the active disconnection of the circuit and cut off the circuit without disassembling the male and female plugs, which facilitates maintenance and fault protection, and improves the overall environmental adaptability and working reliability of the terminal.
[0009] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly disposed in the movable groove, and the mounting plate is located below the slider, and the mounting plate is provided with an array of grooves.
[0010] By adopting the above solution, the movable groove provides installation space for the mounting plate, and the mounting plate provides installation space for the recess.
[0011] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a storage groove, a locking block, a sliding block, a return spring, a guide cylinder, and a guide shaft. The storage groove is embedded inside the slider. The locking block passes through the storage groove, and its bottom end extends into the corresponding groove. The sliding block is engaged inside the storage groove, and the locking block and the sliding block are fixedly connected. The array of return springs is disposed inside the storage groove, and the ends of the return springs are fixedly connected to the sliding block and the storage groove, respectively. The guide cylinder corresponding to the return spring is fixed inside the storage groove, and the guide cylinder passes through the return spring. The guide shaft passes through the guide cylinder, and one end of the guide shaft is fixedly connected to the sliding block.
[0012] By adopting the above scheme, when the slider moves, it will drive the locking block to move. The bottom of the locking block is squeezed by the groove, which will cause the locking block and the sliding block to move upward. The movement of the sliding block will squeeze the return spring. When the return spring returns, it will push the sliding block and the locking block to return to their original positions. By adjusting the position of the slider in this way, the locking block will move repeatedly. After the slider moves to the predetermined position, the return spring will return and cause one end of the locking block to re-lock into the corresponding groove.
[0013] Preferably, the positioning mechanism further includes a strip frame, an electric push rod, and a limiting block. The strip frame is symmetrically fixed inside the storage slot, the electric push rod is fixed inside the strip frame, the limiting block is engaged inside the strip frame, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the limiting block.
[0014] By adopting the above scheme, after the slider moves to the predetermined position, the locking block is locked into the groove. The operation of the electric push rod will push the limit block to move. After the bottom of the limit block abuts against the top of the sliding block, the positions of the locking block and the sliding block will be positioned, which in turn will position the slider, ensuring the stability of the adjustment position.
[0015] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes a bidirectional lead screw, an adjusting block, and a first bevel gear. The bidirectional lead screw is rotatably disposed inside the groove, and the adjusting block corresponding to the slider is symmetrically disposed inside the groove. The outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw is threadedly connected to the inside of the adjusting block. The adjusting block is fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding slider, and the first bevel gear is fixed on the bidirectional lead screw.
[0016] By adopting the above scheme, the first bevel gear can drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, and the position of the adjusting block can be adjusted when the bidirectional lead screw rotates. When the adjusting block moves, it will drive the slider to slide.
[0017] Preferably, a dual-output shaft motor is fixedly installed inside the second frame. One output end of the dual-output shaft motor is fixedly connected to a power shaft. The power shaft is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear, which meshes with a corresponding first bevel gear. A support ring is fixedly installed inside the first frame. A rotating cylinder is rotatably installed inside the support ring. A transmission rod is fixedly connected to the center of the rotating cylinder. A third bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod, and the third bevel gear meshes with a corresponding first bevel gear.
[0018] By adopting the above scheme, controlling the dual-output shaft motor will drive the power shaft to rotate. When the power shaft rotates, it will drive the second bevel gear to rotate. When the second bevel gear rotates, it will drive the double-acting lead screw to rotate through the first bevel gear. The rotating cylinder will drive the transmission rod to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod will drive the third bevel gear to rotate. Through the corresponding first bevel gear, it will drive another set of double-acting lead screws to rotate.
[0019] Preferably, a connecting cylinder is rotatably installed inside the second frame, and the center of the connecting cylinder is fixedly connected to another output end of the dual-output shaft motor via a shaft.
[0020] By adopting the above scheme, when the dual-output shaft motor rotates, it will drive the connecting cylinder to rotate.
[0021] Preferably, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed inside the connecting cylinder, a square block is engaged inside the connecting cylinder, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the side of the square block. The connecting cylinder is made of magnetic material, and an electromagnet is embedded inside the square block.
[0022] By adopting the above scheme, after the female connector and the male connector are connected, the operation of the electric telescopic rod will push the square block to move, and the position of the square block can be adjusted. After the square block moves to the predetermined position, the operation of the electromagnet will generate a strong magnet, which will then position the square block.
[0023] Preferably, the rotating cylinder is provided with a square groove corresponding to the square block, and the connecting cylinder and the rotating cylinder are concentrically arranged when the female connector and the male connector are connected.
[0024] By adopting the above scheme, after the square block is moved by the electric telescopic rod, one end of the square block moves into the square slot, causing the square block to engage with the square slot. When the dual-output shaft motor is working, it drives the connecting cylinder to rotate. When the connecting cylinder rotates, it drives the rotating cylinder to rotate synchronously through the engagement of the square block and the square slot. The rotation of the rotating cylinder drives the third bevel gear to rotate through the transmission rod. Thus, when the dual-output shaft motor moves, it drives the second and third bevel gears to rotate synchronously. The first bevel gear drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, and the position of the adjusting block can be adjusted when the bidirectional lead screw rotates. When the adjusting block moves, This will drive the slider to slide, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the conduction relationship between different connection terminals. It can realize the synchronous switching or synchronous disconnection of the transmission channels on both sides of the male and female terminals, avoiding the situation of misalignment of male and female terminals or inconsistent conduction states. It prevents problems such as abnormal contact, short circuit or circuit failure caused by asynchronous paths on both sides. Only one transmission mechanism is needed to complete the synchronous operation of the paths on both sides, without the need to adjust the male and female terminals separately. This simplifies the operation process, reduces the number of parts, improves the consistency and adjustment efficiency of channel switching, and further improves the stability of automotive connection terminal operation.
[0025] Preferably, the female connector is provided with a connecting groove, and the connecting groove is located on one side of the conductive cylinder. The male connector is fixedly provided with a connecting block corresponding to the connecting groove. A storage battery is provided in both the first frame and the second frame, and a controller is provided on both the first frame and the second frame.
[0026] By adopting the above scheme, the electronic devices on the female connector and the male connector are electrically connected to the corresponding controller and the battery, respectively. The controller can control the operation of the corresponding electronic components. When the female connector and the male connector are connected, the connecting groove will engage with the connecting block, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The adaptive environmental adjustable automotive connector of this invention addresses the issue of unstable signal transmission caused by loose conductive posts and conductive cylinders in the transmission channel. By controlling the adjustment mechanism to adjust the slider position, the slider's movement is guided and constrained by the through-hole and guide rod, ensuring stable displacement. The slider further drives the conductive block to move. Once the conductive block reaches the predetermined working position, it contacts the corresponding conductive sheet, thereby switching the conduction relationship between different connectors. When one channel fails, the system can switch to a backup channel to continue operation, reducing the risk of direct equipment failure and shutdown. This avoids power outages and shutdowns of related vehicle components due to single-channel failures, effectively improving the fault tolerance of the vehicle circuit. It eliminates the need for immediate disassembly and repair of the terminals, ensuring continuous equipment operation, reducing the adverse effects of downtime, and improving the reliability and safety of the connector.
[0028] 2. The adaptive environmental adjustable automotive connector of the present invention allows for the adjustment of the position of the conductive block, which separates it from the conductive sheet, directly cutting off the transmission channel and achieving active circuit disconnection. Circuit disconnection can be completed without disassembling the male and female plugs, facilitating maintenance work and fault protection, and further improving the overall environmental adaptability and operational reliability of the connector.
[0029] 3. The adaptive environmental adjustable automotive connector of the present invention can achieve synchronous switching or synchronous disconnection of the transmission channels on both sides of the male and female terminals by switching the conduction relationship between different connectors. This effectively avoids the phenomenon of misalignment or inconsistent conduction states of the male and female terminals, and prevents faults such as abnormal contact, short circuit or circuit failure caused by asynchronous paths on both sides. The entire action can be completed by only one transmission mechanism to achieve synchronous operation of the paths on both sides, without the need to adjust the male and female terminals separately. This simplifies the operation process, reduces the number of parts, improves the consistency and adjustment efficiency of channel switching, and further improves the working stability of the automotive connector.

An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the slider 13 is provided in the groove 28. The spacing between adjacent conductive sheets 8 is greater than the length of conductive block 16. The connecting block 9 is connected to the conductive wire 15 to transmit electrical energy. When the conductive block 16 contacts the corresponding conductive sheet 8, the circuit can be connected. The first conductor 3 is electrically connected to the corresponding conductive post 5 through the connecting block 9, conductive wire 15, conductive block 16 and conductive sheet 8, while the second conductor 4 is electrically connected to the conductive cylinder 6 through the corresponding connecting block 9, conductive wire 15, conductive block 16 and conductive sheet 8. When using the adaptive environment adjustable automotive connector, the first wire 3 and the second wire 4 are electrically connected to the corresponding components, the female connector 1 and the male connector 2 are connected to each other, and the conductive post 5 is inserted into the conductive cylinder 6 to open the transmission channel and realize the transmission of electrical energy or electrical signals. When the conductive post 5 and conductive cylinder 6 of the transmission channel become loose or other faults cause unstable signal transmission during long-term use, the control adjustment mechanism can adjust the position of the slider 13. When the slider 13 moves, it will be guided by the through hole 14 and the guide rod 12, so that the slider 13 moves smoothly. The movement of the slider 13 will drive the conductive block 16 to move. After the conductive block 16 moves to the predetermined position, it will contact the corresponding conductive piece 8, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the conduction relationship between different connection terminals.

It reduces the impact of failure and shutdown, and improves the working reliability and safety of the connection terminal. The position of conductive block 16 can also be adjusted to separate it from the connected conductive sheet 8, directly cutting off the transmission channel. This enables active circuit disconnection, allowing the circuit to be cut off without disassembling the male and female plugs, facilitating maintenance and fault protection, and improving the overall environmental adaptability and operational reliability of the terminals.

When the slider 13 moves, it will drive the locking block 18 to move. The bottom of the locking block 18 is squeezed by the groove 11, which will cause the locking block 18 and the sliding block 19 to move upward. The movement of the sliding block 19 will squeeze the return spring 20. The return spring 20 will push the sliding block 19 and the locking block 18 to return to their original positions.

After the square block 37 is moved by the electric telescopic rod 36, one end of the square block 37 moves into the square groove 43, whereby the square block 37 engages with the square groove 43. When the dual-output shaft motor 32 is working, it drives the connecting cylinder 35 to rotate. When the connecting cylinder 35 rotates, it drives the rotating cylinder 40 to rotate synchronously through the engagement of the square block 37 and the square groove 43. The rotation of the rotating cylinder 40 drives the third bevel gear 42 to rotate through the transmission rod 41. Thus, when the dual-output shaft motor 32 moves, it drives the second bevel gear 34 and the third bevel gear 42 to rotate synchronously.

[0043] Working principle: First, when using the adaptive environmental adjustable automotive connector, the first wire 3 and the second wire 4 are electrically connected to the corresponding components. The female connector 1 and the male connector 2 are then connected together. The conductive post 5 is inserted into the conductive cylinder 6, thus opening the transmission channel and enabling the transmission of electrical energy or signals. The connecting slot 45 engages with the connecting block 44, ensuring a tight seal. During prolonged use, if the conductive post 5 and the conductive cylinder 6 in the transmission channel become loose or other malfunctions cause unstable signal transmission, the electric telescopic rod 36, after connecting the female connector 1 and the male connector 2, will push the square block 37 to move. The position of the square block 37 can be adjusted. After the square block 37 moves to the predetermined position, the electromagnet 38 will generate a strong... The magnetism then positions the square block 37, causing one end of the square block 37 to move into the square groove 43, where it engages with the groove. When the dual-shaft motor 32 operates, it drives the connecting cylinder 35 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting cylinder 35, through the engagement of the square block 37 and the square groove 43, drives the rotating cylinder 40 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the rotating cylinder 40, via the transmission rod 41, drives the third bevel gear 42 to rotate. Thus, when the dual-shaft motor 32 moves, it drives the second bevel gear 34 and the third bevel gear 42 to rotate synchronously. This, in turn, drives the first bevel gear 31 to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 29. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 29 adjusts the position of the adjusting block 30. The movement of the adjusting block 30 causes the slider 13 to slide. 3. During movement, the through hole 14 and guide rod 12 cooperate to guide the slider 13, allowing it to move smoothly. The movement of slider 13 will drive the conductive block 16 to move. After the conductive block 16 moves to the predetermined position, it will contact the corresponding conductive piece 8, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the conduction relationship between different connection terminals. When one channel fails, the backup channel can be switched to continue working, reducing the risk of direct equipment failure and shutdown. It can avoid the direct power failure and shutdown of related components of the whole vehicle due to a single channel failure, improving the fault tolerance of the vehicle circuit. The position of the conductive block 16 can also be adjusted to separate it from the connected conductive piece 8, directly cutting off the transmission channel. It can realize the active disconnection of the circuit without disassembling the male and female plugs to cut off the circuit. This design facilitates maintenance and fault protection, and enhances the overall environmental adaptability and operational reliability of the terminals. The bottom of the locking block 18 is arc-shaped. When the slider 13 moves, it moves along with the locking block 18. The bottom of the locking block 18 is pressed against the groove 11, causing the locking block 18 and the sliding block 19 to move upwards. The movement of the sliding block 19 presses against the return spring 20. The return spring 20 then pushes the sliding block 19 and the locking block 18 back to their original positions. By adjusting the position of the slider 13 in this way, the locking block 18 moves repeatedly until the slider 13 reaches a predetermined position. The return spring 20 then resets, causing one end of the locking block 18 to re-engage in the corresponding groove 11. Once the slider 13 reaches the predetermined position, the locking block 18 engages in the groove 11. Controlling the electric push rod 22 then pushes the limit block 23 to move.After the bottom of the limiting block 23 abuts against the top of the sliding block 19, it positions the locking block 18 and the sliding block 19, which in turn positions the slider 13, ensuring the stability of the adjusted position.
