[0026] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 6 The anti-loosening structure for the signal terminal of the automobile fuel pressure sensor according to a preferred embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below. The anti-loosening structure of the signal terminal 10 of the automobile fuel pressure sensor includes a signal terminal 10, at least one plug pin 20 and at least one anti-loosening component 30, wherein the plug pin 20 is installed in the signal terminal 10, and the anti-loosening component 30 is detachably installed on the plug pin 20. In this way, when the operator inserts the plug pin 20 into the signal terminal 10, the anti-loosening component 30 is fixed at a predetermined position, that is, the anti-loosening component 30 can fix the plug pin 20 in the signal terminal 10, so that the signal terminal 10 can ensure the stability of the connection when it is in use.

[0028] Specifically, the signal terminal 10 has a component connection cavity 101 and a controller connection cavity 102 , wherein the component connection cavity 101 and the controller connection cavity 102 are connected, and when the pin 20 passes through the signal terminal 10 , the pin 20 can be inserted in the component connection cavity 101 and the controller connection cavity 102 .

[0029] Further, see Figures 3 to 6 The component connection cavity 101 has a placement cavity 1011 and a first installation cavity 1012. The placement cavity 1011 is horizontally arranged, and the first installation cavity 1012 is vertically arranged. In other words, the placement cavity 1011 and the first installation cavity 1012 are L-shaped in cross section. The controller connection cavity 102 has a second installation cavity 1021. In this embodiment, the second installation cavity 1021 is vertically arranged, and the second installation cavity 1021 is connected to the first installation cavity 1012.

[0030] Furthermore, the pin 20 includes a connecting piece 22, a fixing piece 21 and a needle 23, wherein the connecting piece 22 is connected to the fixing piece 21. In this embodiment, the fixing piece 21 is arranged horizontally and the connecting piece 22 is arranged vertically, that is, the connecting piece 22 and the fixing piece 21 have an L-shaped cross section, and the needle 23 is connected to the end of the connecting piece 22 away from the fixing piece 21; at least one mounting hole 2201 is provided on the connecting piece 22, and the mounting hole 2201 is rectangular in shape, and the anti-loosening component 30 is installed in the mounting hole 2201. In this embodiment, two mounting holes 2201 are provided on the connecting piece 22. With this arrangement, after the anti-loosening component 30 is installed on the connecting piece 22, the installation is more stable.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 That is, when the pin 20 is installed in the signal terminal 10, the fixing piece 21 is installed in the placement cavity 1011 of the signal terminal 10, the connecting piece 22 is installed in the first installation cavity 1012, and the pin 20 is installed in the second installation cavity 1021. In this way, the controller connection cavity 102 of the signal terminal 10 is connected to the controller, and the component connection cavity 101 of the signal terminal 10 is connected to the sensor component. More specifically, the fixing piece 21 is electrically connected to the sensor component, and the needle head 23 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the second installation cavity 1021 has a clearance space 1022, and the clearance space 1022 is arranged in the same direction as the placement cavity 1011. When the pin 20 is installed in the signal terminal 10, the anti-loosening component 30 is clamped in the clearance space 1022 to fix the pin 20 in the current position, thereby increasing stability.

[0033] Furthermore, the anti-loosening component 30 includes an anti-loosening hook 31 , wherein the anti-loosening hook 31 has a clamping portion 3101 , a circular arc portion 3102 and an abutting portion 3103 , the clamping portion 3101 is connected to the circular arc portion 3102 , and the circular arc portion 3102 is connected to the abutting portion 3103 .

[0034] Specifically, the clamping portion 3101 and the arc portion 3102 of the anti-detachment hook 31 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting piece 22 of the pin 20, and the abutting portion 3103 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting hole 2201. The clamping portion 3101 and the arc portion 3102 are arranged obliquely relative to the connecting piece 22. In other words, the arc portion 3102 of the anti-detachment hook 31 is bent so that the clamping portion 3101 and the abutting portion 3103 are arranged at a predetermined angle, and the cross section of the anti-detachment hook 31 is L-shaped.

[0035] Furthermore, a sliding slope 103 is provided at the connection between the placement cavity 1011 of the component connection cavity 101 and the first installation cavity 1012, and a snap-fitting slope 104 is provided at the connection between the placement cavity 1011 and the second connection cavity of the controller connection cavity 102. It is worth mentioning that the inclination direction of the sliding slope 103 is opposite to the inclination direction of the snap-fitting slope 104.

[0036] Specifically, during the installation of the plug 20, the clamping portion 3101 of the anti-disconnection hook 31 slides along the sliding slope 103, and the anti-disconnection hook 31 slides with the plug 20 until the plug 20 slides to a predetermined position, and the clamping portion 3101 of the anti-disconnection hook 31 moves into the clearance space 1022 of the second installation cavity 1021, and the top of the clamping portion 3101 abuts against the top of the clearance space 1022. At this time, the arc portion 3102 of the anti-disconnection hook 31 abuts against the clamping slope 104. In this way, the sliding slope 103 can play a guiding role, and the clamping slope 104 can prevent the anti-disconnection hook 31 from deforming and deviating under the action of the sliding slope 103.

[0037] That is to say, when the pin 20 is installed in the signal terminal 10, the arc portion 3102 of the anti-detachment hook 31 is subjected to force at the same time under the action of the clamping slope 104, so that the clamping portion 3101 and the abutting portion 3103 of the anti-detachment hook 31 can be more firmly abutted against the top of the clearance space 1022 and the bottom of the mounting hole 2201 respectively, so that the anti-detachment hook 31 is firmly fixed.

[0038] Furthermore, when the clamping portion 3101 of the anti-disconnection hook 31 abuts against the clearance space 1022, the fixing piece 21 of the plug pin 20 is just located in the placement cavity 1011. This arrangement can prevent the plug pin 20 from loosening and moving upward in the signal terminal 10, and the assembly is reliable, the holding force is improved and stable, and the product function is stable and reliable.

[0039] In summary, the operator installs the plug pin 20 in the signal terminal 10, and the plug pin 20 moves from the component connection cavity 101 to the controller connection cavity 102. During the movement, the needle head 23 of the plug pin 20 passes through the first installation cavity 1012 and then the second installation cavity 1021. The fixing plate 21 of the plug pin 20 is installed in the placement cavity 1011, and the connecting plate 22 of the plug pin 20 is installed in the first installation cavity 1012. In this process, the anti-detachment hook 31 of the anti-detachment component 30 also moves with the connecting plate 22, and the clamping part 3101 of the anti-detachment hook 31 moves along the sliding inclined surface 103. After the anti-detachment hook 31 moves to the predetermined position, the arc part 3102 of the anti-detachment hook 31 is abutted against the clamping inclined surface 104, and the clamping part 3101 of the anti-detachment hook 31 moves to the clearance space 1022. At this time, the plug pin 20 is stably installed in the signal terminal 10.

[0040] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way without departing from the principles.
