[0029] The utility model provides a starter adapter structure, including a connector 1 and an adapter terminal 2, wherein: the connector 1 is connected to a wiring harness 200, a slot structure 11 is provided on the connector 1, and a card slot structure 12 is provided in the slot structure 11; the adapter terminal 2 includes a first connecting portion 21 and a second connecting portion 22 connected to each other, the second connecting portion 22 is connected to a terminal of the starter 100, a card connection structure 211 is provided on the first connecting portion 21, the first connecting portion 21 is inserted into the slot structure 11, and the card connection structure 211 is card-connected and fixed with the card slot structure 12 when the first connecting portion 21 is inserted into the slot structure 11.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the wiring harness 200 is connected to the terminal of the starter 100 through the starter adapter structure, so as to control the operation of the starter 100. Figure 2 As shown, the transfer terminal 2 is composed of a first connection part 21 and a second connection part 22 connected to each other. The first connection part 21 and the second connection part 22 are usually in the shape of a thin sheet or a thin plate. The second connection part 22 and the terminal of the starter 100 can be connected in any way. The first connection part 21 is provided with a clamping structure 211, which has a certain elasticity. Figure 4 As shown, a card slot structure 12 is provided in the slot structure 11 of the connector 1 corresponding to the card connection structure 211 , and the card connection structure 211 can be stuck in the card slot structure 12 by its own elasticity, so that the transfer terminal 2 and the connector 1 are fixedly connected.

[0031] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​structure 211 and the slot structure 12 in this embodiment can be selected with corresponding size, quantity and setting position as required, as long as the fixed connection mode of snap-fit ​​connection can be achieved.

[0032] The starter adapter structure of the present invention has a connector 1 connected to a wiring harness 200, a second connection portion 22 of the adapter terminal 2 connected to a terminal of the starter 100, a first connection portion 21 inserted into a slot structure 11 of the connector 1, and fixedly engaged with the slot structure 12 by a snap-on structure 211, so that the first connection portion 21 is firmly connected to the connector 1. When a customer needs to repair or replace a starter 100 in the form of a terminal, the plug-in wiring harness 200 can be adapted to the starter 100 by the present invention, without having to replace the wiring harness 200 adapted to the terminal, thereby saving the customer's repair cost. In addition, the snap-on structure 211 is fixedly engaged with the slot structure 12, which can avoid problems such as detachment and unstable shaking between the adapter terminal 2 and the connector 1 to a certain extent, thereby ensuring normal starting of the vehicle and avoiding the risk of vehicle burning and fire caused by increased resistance due to virtual connection of the terminals.

[0033] Furthermore, the clamping structures 211 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the first connecting portion 21 , and the clamping slot structure 12 is provided on the inner wall of the slot structure 11 corresponding to the clamping structures 211 .

[0034] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, two snap-fit ​​structures 211 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first connecting portion 21 along the horizontal direction (i.e., the positive and negative directions of the X-axis in the figure), and the inner walls of the two sides of the slot structure 11 along the horizontal direction are correspondingly provided with snap-fit ​​structures 12. After the snap-fit ​​structures 211 are snapped with the snap-fit ​​structures 12, the adapter terminal 2 is limited in the X-axis direction (i.e., the horizontal direction) and the Y-axis direction (i.e., the vertical direction) in the figure, so that the connection between the adapter terminal 2 and the connector 1 is more stable.

[0035] Furthermore, at least one first step 2111 is provided on the clamping structure 211 , and at least one second step 121 is provided in the clamping slot structure 12 . The first step 2111 abuts against the second step 121 when the clamping structure 211 is clamped with the clamping slot structure 12 .

[0036] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the clamping structure 211 is provided with two first steps 2111, and the corresponding clamping slot structure 12 is also provided with two second steps 121. When clamping, only one first step 2111 can be abutted against one second step 121, or two first steps 2111 can be abutted against two second steps 121 respectively, thereby forming two clamping modes with different depths and firmness, which is convenient for adjustment during connection and assembly, and the provision of two abutments also increases the reliability of the clamping. On this basis, the number of the first step 2111 and the second step 121 can be determined as needed to meet different connection requirements.

[0037] Furthermore, a locking member 13 is connected to the connector 1 , and an elastic member is provided between the locking member 13 and the connector 1 , and the elastic member is used to drive the locking member 13 to be crimped onto the first connecting portion 21 to limit the first connecting portion 21 .

[0038] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the locking member 13 is rotatably connected to the connector 1 via a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring is provided between the locking member 13 and the connector 1 as an elastic member. After the first connecting portion 21 is inserted into the slot structure 11, the first connecting portion 21 pushes the end of the locking member 13 in the positive direction of the Z axis in the figure, and the elastic force of the torsion spring causes the locking member 13 to be crimped to the first connecting portion 21, forming a limit in the vertical direction (i.e., the Z axis direction in the figure).

[0039] In this way, the locking member 13 can be vertically crimped to the first connecting portion 21 to vertically limit the first connecting portion 21 , thereby further improving the connection stability between the transfer terminal 2 and the connector 1 .

[0040] Furthermore, a locking hole 212 is provided on the first connection portion 21 , and a protrusion 131 is provided on the locking member 13 . The protrusion 131 is inserted into the locking hole 212 when the locking member 13 is crimped onto the first connection portion 21 .

[0041] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a locking hole 212 is provided on the first connecting portion 21, and the locking hole 212 is arranged in the vertical direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction in the figure). A protrusion 131 is provided at a position corresponding to the locking hole 212 on the locking member 13. The shape of the protrusion 131 can be selected as needed. In this embodiment, a hemispherical convex point structure is used as the protrusion 131. The inner diameter of the locking hole 212 should usually be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion 131. The protrusion 131 is inserted into the locking hole 212 to limit the first connecting portion 21 in the horizontal direction (i.e., the X-axis direction in the figure) and the longitudinal direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction in the figure). The locking member 13 is crimped onto the first connecting portion 21 to limit the first connecting portion 21 in the vertical direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction in the figure), which has a better fixing effect and ensures the connection stability between the adapter terminal 2 and the connector 1.

[0042] Furthermore, an end of the first connection portion 21 is connected to an end of the second connection portion 22 , and a preset angle is formed between the second connection portion 22 and the first connection portion 21 .

[0043] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the first connection part 21 is connected to the end of the second connection part 22, and the first connection part 21 and the second connection part 22 are set at a preset angle of 90 degrees, thereby forming an L-shaped shape. The specific value of the preset angle can also be adjusted as needed.

[0044] In this way, the design of the preset angle can reasonably adapt to the spatial position of the starter, reduce the length of the adapter terminal 2, shorten the distance between the wiring harness 200 and the connection terminal of the starter 100, and improve the structural stability.

[0045] Furthermore, a connecting hole 221 is provided on the second connecting portion 22 , and the terminal is a terminal screw 101 , and the terminal screw 101 passes through the connecting hole 221 and is threadedly connected to the fastener 3 .

[0046] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting hole 221 is provided on the second connecting portion 22 , and the connecting terminal is a connecting stud 101 . The connecting stud 101 passes through the connecting hole 221 and is threadedly connected to the fastener 3 , thereby fixing the second connecting portion 22 and the connecting stud 101 .

[0047] Furthermore, the starter 100 is provided with a first position-limiting member 102 and a second position-limiting member 103 , and the first position-limiting member 102 and the second position-limiting member 103 are used to abut against two sides of the second connection portion 22 for position limiting respectively.

[0048] Combination Figure 5As shown, the terminal stud 101 passes through the connecting hole 221 and is threadedly connected to the fastener 3, thereby connecting the second connecting part 22 to the terminal stud 101. The second connecting part 22 may rotate around the terminal stud 101. The first limiter 102 and the second limiter 103 are connected to the starter 100 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the terminal stud 101. The first limiter 102 and the second limiter 103 are respectively located on both sides of the second connecting part 22, and have abutment and limiting functions on both sides of the second connecting part 22 to prevent the second connecting part 22 from shaking too much and affecting the stability of the connection.

[0049] The utility model also provides a starter system, comprising the starter switching structure.

[0050] In the starter system of the present invention, the connection between the starter 100 and the wiring harness 200 is achieved through the starter adapter structure, the second connection part 22 of the adapter terminal 2 is connected to the terminal of the starter 100, the first connection part 21 is inserted into the slot structure 11 of the connector 1, and is fixed by the clamping structure 211 and the clamping slot structure 12, so that the first connection part 21 and the connector 1 are firmly connected. When the customer needs to repair and replace the starter 100 in the form of a terminal, the plug-in structure wiring harness 200 can be adapted to the starter 100 through the starter adapter structure of the present invention, and there is no need to replace the wiring harness 200 adapted to the terminal, which saves the customer's maintenance cost; in addition, the clamping structure 211 is clamped and fixed with the clamping slot structure 12, which can avoid the problems of disengagement and unstable shaking between the adapter terminal 2 and the connector 1 to a certain extent, ensure the normal starting of the vehicle, and avoid the risk of vehicle burning and fire caused by increased resistance due to virtual connection of the terminals.

[0051] The utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising the starter system.

[0052] The vehicle of the present invention adopts the above-mentioned starter system, and the connector 1 in its starter adapter structure is connected to the wiring harness 200, the second connection part 22 of the adapter terminal 2 is connected to the terminal of the starter 100, and the first connection part 21 is inserted into the slot structure 11 of the connector 1, and is fixed with the slot structure 12 by the snap-on structure 211, so that the first connection part 21 and the connector 1 are firmly connected.
