[0052] In the connector, in order to make the shell preparation process of the connector simpler, the base and the shell can be prepared separately and then the base and the shell can be detachably connected through a locking mechanism. The base of the connector can be used to carry and install the electrical connector, the shell can be set on the base, and the electrical connector is located in the shell, so that the shell can protect the electrical connector. In order to ensure that the connection effect between the shell and the base is more reliable, a secondary locking mechanism is also required between the shell and the base, and the secondary locking mechanism can lock the locking mechanism between the shell and the base again.

[0053] At present, the secondary locking mechanism in the connector uses a bolt fixing method to lock the locking mechanism. This secondary locking method is relatively complicated to operate and has a non-compact structure.

[0054] In the housing assembly proposed in the present application, the first housing is arranged on the base, and when the first stopper moves to abut against the second stopper, the first stopper and the second stopper can be fixed to each other, thereby fixing the first housing to the base. When the first stopper moves to separate from the second stopper, the first stopper and the second stopper can move relative to each other, so that the base and the first housing can be detached and separated.

[0055] The locking member can be moved to be supported on the first limit member, so that the first limit member can be relatively fixed to maintain a relatively fixed state with the second limit member, so that the first limit member cannot be separated from the second limit member, so that the base and the shell can maintain a relative state, and finally achieve the purpose of secondary locking of the base and the shell. The locking member moves to be separated from the first limit member, so that the locking member is no longer supported on the first limit member, so that the first limit member can move away from the second limit member, so that the first shell and the base can be separated. By controlling the locking member to move relative to the shell, the locking member can lock the first limit member and the second limit member for the second time, making the secondary locking method of the shell assembly of the present application simple to operate. The locking member is connected to the shell, so that the locking member and the shell can be integrated, so that there is no need to set a separate disassembly and assembly structure between the locking member and the shell, making the structure of the shell assembly of the present application more compact.

[0056] In the connector proposed in the present application, due to the application of the above-mentioned housing assembly, the operation method of the connector during the secondary locking operation is simpler and more efficient, and the overall structure of the connector is also more compact.

[0057] The housing assembly and connector provided in the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0058] The present application embodiment provides a housing assembly, referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a base 100, a housing, a first limiting member 300, a second limiting member 400 and a locking member 500. The housing assembly can be applied to a connector.

[0059] The base 100 is a basic component of the housing assembly of the present application. The base 100 can provide a mounting base for at least some of the other components of the housing assembly and protect at least some of the other components. The base 100 can be made of metal material, so that the base 100 has a better structural strength, thereby making the durability and reliability of the base 100 better. Of course, the base 100 can also be made of polymer material, so that the base 100 has a certain structural strength and is relatively light.

[0060] The first shell 200 is disposed on the base 100, and an inner cavity 210 is provided in the first shell 200. An opening 220 and an insertion port 230 are provided on the surface of the first shell 200, and both the opening 220 and the insertion port 230 of the first shell 200 are in communication with the inner cavity 210 of the shell. The inner cavity 210 of the first shell 200 can be used to accommodate an electrical connector. When the shell assembly of the present application is applied to a connector, the electrical connector is disposed on the base 100 and is located in the inner cavity 210 of the first shell 200. The opening 220 of the first shell 200 is docked with the base 100, so that the base 100 can be blocked in the opening 220 of the first shell 200, so that the opening 220 of the first shell 200 can be sealed. The plug interface 230 of the first shell 200 can be used for the external circuit to pass through. Specifically, the connection end of the external electrical connector can extend into the inner cavity 210 of the first shell 200 through the plug interface 230 of the first shell 200 and connect with the electrical connector, so that the electrical connector in the inner cavity 210 of the first shell 200 can be electrically connected to the external electrical connector.

[0061] Since the electrical connector is disposed in the first shell 200 , in order to make the connector of the present application safe to use, the shell is made of insulating material, and specifically, can be made of polymer material through an injection molding process.

[0062] The first stopper 300 is movably disposed on the first housing 200, so that the first stopper 300 can move relative to the first housing 200, and the second stopper 400 is disposed on the base 100. The first stopper 300 can move relative to the first housing 200 to be fixed with the second stopper 400, and since the first stopper 300 is connected to the first housing 200 and the second stopper 400 is connected to the base 100, the first housing 200 and the base 100 can also be relatively fixed, so that the first housing 200 and the base 100 are reliably connected, achieving the purpose of locking the first housing 200 and the base 100 once. The first stopper 300 can also move to be separated from the second stopper 400, so that the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 can move relative to each other, so that the base 100 and the first housing 200 can also move relative to each other, so that the base 100 can be disassembled and separated from the first housing 200. The user can move the first stopper 300 to switch the first shell 200 and the base 100 between the connected and separated states, thereby making the operation of connecting or separating the first shell 200 and the base 100 simple and convenient.

[0063] The locking member 500 is movably disposed on the first housing 200, so that the locking member 500 can move relative to the first housing 200. The locking member 500 can move relative to the first housing 200 to be supported on the first stopper 300, so that the first stopper 300 is fixed to the second stopper 400. In this way, the locking member 500 can play a role in locking the first stopper 300, so that the first stopper 300 can remain fixed to the second stopper 400, so as to achieve the purpose of secondary locking of the first housing 200 and the base 100, so that the first housing 200 and the base 100 are further reliably connected. The locking member 500 can also move to separate from the first stopper 300, so that the locking member 500 no longer supports the first stopper 300, and the first stopper 300 can move to separate from the second stopper 400, so that the base 100 and the first housing 200 can be separated. The user can move the locking member 500 to make the second locking operation of the first shell 200 and the base 100 simple and convenient, so that the operation of connecting or separating the first shell 200 and the base 100 is simple and convenient.

[0064] The locking member 500 is movably connected to the first shell 200, so that when the locking member 500 switches between a state of being supported on the first limiting member 300 and a state of being separated from the first limiting member 300, the locking member 500 is always connected to the first shell 200, so that the locking member 500 and the first shell 200 can always be integrated, thereby eliminating the need to disassemble and install the locking member 500, thereby making the operation method for secondary locking of the shell assembly of the present application simple and making the structure of the shell assembly relatively more compact.

[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the first stopper 300 of the present application can be specifically arranged opposite to the second stopper 400, and accordingly, the first stopper 300 is configured to be movable toward the second stopper 400 or away from the second stopper 400. When the first stopper 300 moves toward the second stopper 400, the first stopper 300 can move to abut against the second stopper 400, and the friction between the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 can serve to fix the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400, so that the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 are relatively fixed. After the first stopper 300 moves away from the second stopper 400, the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 can be separated, so that the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 can be relatively movable, so that the first shell 200 and the base 100 can be detached and separated.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking member 500 of the present application is configured to be movable to the side of the first limiting member 300 facing away from the second limiting member 400, so that the locking member 500 can support the first limiting member 300, so that the locking member 500 can limit the first limiting member 300 in the direction of the first limiting member 300 facing away from the second limiting member 400, so that the first limiting member 300 cannot move away from the second limiting member 400, and thus the first limiting member 300 can remain fixed to the second limiting member 400. The locking member 500 can also be moved to be misaligned with the first limiting member 300, so that the locking member 500 is not opposite to the first limiting member 300, so that the locking member 500 no longer limits the first limiting member 300, so that the first limiting member 300 can move in the direction away from the second limiting member 400, and thus the first limiting member 300 is separated from the second limiting member 400.

[0067] In addition, in other embodiments, the first stopper 300 may be fixed on the first housing 200, the second stopper 400 may be movably arranged on the base 100, and the second stopper 400 may move toward the first stopper 300 to abut against the first stopper 300, so that the second stopper 400 is fixed to the first stopper 300, thereby fixing the first housing 200 to the base 100. The second stopper 400 may also move away from the first stopper 300, so that the second stopper 400 is separated from the first stopper 300, thereby separating the base 100 from the first housing 200. Accordingly, the locking member 500 is arranged to be movable to the side of the second stopper 400 away from the first stopper 300, so that the second stopper 400 can maintain a state of abutting against the first stopper 300, thereby locking the first housing 200 and the base 100 for the second time. The locking member 500 can also move to be misaligned with the second limiting member 400, so that the locking member 500 is separated from the second limiting member 400, so that the second limiting member 400 can move away from the first limiting member 300 and separate from the first limiting member 300, thereby making the first shell 200 and the base 100 separable.

[0068] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first stopper 300 of the present application can be arranged on the outer wall of the first housing 200, so that the first stopper 300 is located outside the inner cavity 210 of the first housing 200, and correspondingly, the second stopper 400 can be arranged on the side of the first stopper 300 facing away from the first housing 200. The first stopper 300 moves in the direction facing away from the outer wall of the first housing 200, so that the first stopper 300 moves toward the second stopper 400, so that the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 abut against each other, so that the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 are fixed. When the first limiting member 300 abuts against the second limiting member 400, there is a certain gap between the first limiting member 300 and the outer wall of the first shell 200, and the locking member 500 can be inserted into the gap, so that the locking member 500 is located between the outer wall of the first shell 200 and the first limiting member 300, so that the locking member 500 can be supported on the first limiting member 300 so that the first limiting member 300 and the second limiting member 400 abut against each other.

[0069] By disposing the first stopper 300 outside the inner cavity 210 of the first shell 200 , the first stopper 300 does not occupy the space of the inner cavity 210 of the first shell 200 , thereby increasing the space for arranging other components in the inner cavity 210 of the first shell 200 .

[0070] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first stopper 300 of the present application can be configured to be elastically connected to the outer wall of the first housing 200, so that the first stopper 300 can move relative to the outer wall of the first housing 200. The elastic force of the first stopper 300 can cause the first stopper 300 to abut against the second stopper 400. Specifically, when the first stopper 300 abuts against the second stopper 400, the first stopper 300 is in a state of deformation under force. At this time, the elastic force of the first stopper 300 can drive the first stopper 300 to abut against the second stopper 400 tightly, thereby making the friction between the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 greater, so that the connection effect of the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 is more stable and reliable.

[0071] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 As shown, a positioning groove 310 may be further provided on the side of the first position-limiting member 300 facing the second position-limiting member 400, and a positioning protrusion 410 may be provided on the side of the second position-limiting member 400 facing the first position-limiting member 300. The positioning protrusion 410 cooperates with the positioning groove 310, and when the first position-limiting member 300 and the second position-limiting member 400 abut against each other, the positioning protrusion 410 may be embedded in the positioning groove 310. The positioning protrusion 410 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 310 may be mutually limited, so that the first position-limiting member 300 and the second position-limiting member 400 may also be mutually limited, so that the fixing effect of the first position-limiting member 300 and the second position-limiting member 400 may be further stabilized and reliable.

[0072] Specifically, the positioning protrusion 410 and the positioning groove 310 can limit each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction from the first limiting member 300 to the second limiting member 400, so that the first limiting member 300 and the second limiting member 400 can limit and cooperate with each other in multiple directions to fix the first limiting member 300 and the second limiting member 400.

[0073] In addition, in other embodiments, the first stopper 300 can also be configured to move from a state of being misaligned with the second stopper 400 to a state of being opposite to the second stopper 400, so that the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 can be opposite to each other, and the positioning protrusion 410 is embedded in the positioning groove 310, so that the purpose of fixing the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 can be achieved. Correspondingly, the locking member 500 is configured to limit the first stopper 300 in the moving direction of the first stopper 300, so that the first stopper 300 and the second stopper 400 are reliably connected.

[0074] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the housing assembly of the present application may also be provided with a second housing 600, which may be provided on the first housing 200, and specifically fixed to the outer wall of the first housing 200. The locking member 500 is movably provided on the second housing 600, and the locking member 500 may move relative to the second housing 600, thereby enabling the locking member 500 to move relative to the first housing 200. A guide groove 620 is provided in the second housing 600, and the locking member 500 is provided in the guide groove 620, and a part of the outer wall of the locking member 500 may fit with the inner wall of the guide groove 620, so that the locking member 500 moves along the extension direction of the guide groove 620, so that the locking member 500 may move to the side of the first stopper 300 facing away from the second stopper 400. The guide groove 620 may serve the purpose of guiding the locking member 500, so that the locking member 500 may accurately move to be opposite to or misaligned with the first stopper 300.

[0075] The second shell 600 and the first shell 200 can be prepared separately and then connected. Specifically, the second shell 600 and the first shell 200 can be fixed by bonding, snapping, threaded connection, pin connection, etc., which makes the preparation process of the first shell 200 and the second shell 600 relatively simple.

[0076] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the second housing 600 of the present application may be provided with an operation port 610, which is located on the surface of the second housing 600 and communicates with the guide groove 620 of the second housing 600. The user may apply a force to the locking member 500 through the operation port 610 to move the locking member 500 to the side of the first limiting member 300 facing away from the second limiting member 400, so that the locking member 500 may be supported on the first limiting member 300.

[0077] The locking member 500 may also be provided with an operation groove 510, which is a groove structure on the surface of the locking member 500, and the operation groove 510 of the locking member 500 is opposite to the operation opening 610 of the second housing 600. The user may use a special tool to pass through the operation opening 610 so that the end of the special tool is embedded in the operation groove 510 of the locking member 500, and then apply a force to the locking member 500 through the special tool so that the locking member 500 can move along the guide groove 620, so that the locking member 500 can move to the side of the first limiting member 300 facing away from the second limiting member 400 and abut against the first limiting member 300.

[0078] Specifically, the slot opening direction of the operation slot 510 can be set to be perpendicular to the moving direction of the locking member 500, and accordingly, the opening direction of the operation port 610 is also perpendicular to the moving direction of the locking member 500. The special tool can be a rod-shaped structural member, and one end of the special tool can be embedded in the operation slot 510. The user applies a force along the movable direction of the locking member 500 to the special tool, so that the locking member 500 can move along the guide slot 620. The opening of the operation port 610 can be set to be relatively small, so that the user's finger cannot touch the locking member 500 through the operation port 610, and the user can only control the movement of the locking member 500 through the special tool, so that the locking member 500 can be prevented from being moved by accidental touch, so that the connection effect between the base 100 and the first shell 200 is more stable and reliable.

[0079] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the housing assembly of the present application may also be provided with a resisting member 700, the resisting member 700 is movably connected to the second housing 600, the locking member 500 is located between the inner wall of the guide groove 620 of the second housing 600 and the resisting member 700, and the distance between the resisting member 700 and the inner wall of the guide groove 620 is adjustable. Specifically, the second housing 600 may be provided with an opening connected to the guide groove 620, the resisting member 700 may be movably provided at the opening of the second housing 600, and the resisting member 700 may move toward the inner wall of the guide groove 620 or move away from the inner wall of the guide groove 620, so that the distance between the resisting member 700 and the inner wall of the guide groove 620 is adjustable. When the distance between the resisting member 700 and the inner wall of the guide groove 620 is small, the resisting member 700 and the inner wall of the guide groove 620 may clamp the locking member 500 therebetween, so that the locking member 500 may be fixed. When the distance between the supporting member 700 and the inner wall of the guide groove 620 is large, the supporting member 700 can be separated from the locking member 500, or the supporting member 700 is in contact with the locking member 500 and the force between the two is small, so that the locking member 500 can move relative to the supporting member 700 along the extension direction of the guide groove 620, so that the position of the locking member 500 can be adjusted.

[0080] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the resisting member 700 of the present application can be elastically connected to the second housing 600, and the elastic force of the resisting member 700 can drive the resisting member 700 to tightly resist the locking member 500, so that the resisting member 700 can fix the locking member 500. The resisting member 700 can also move in the direction away from the inner wall of the guide groove 620, so that the resisting member 700 is separated from the locking member 500. Specifically, when the resisting member 700 is in a natural state, the distance between the resisting member 700 and the inner wall of the guide groove 620 can be set to be smaller than the width dimension of the locking member 500, so that when the locking member 500 is located between the inner wall of the guide groove 620 and the resisting member 700, the locking member 500 can be tightly resisted against the resisting member 700 and the inner wall of the guide groove 620, so that the locking member 500 can be fixed.

[0081] The abutting member 700 may be provided with a first limiting groove 710 and a second limiting groove 720, wherein the first limiting groove 710 and the second limiting groove 720 are arranged along the moving direction of the locking member 500. A limiting protrusion 520 may be arranged on the locking member 500, and the shape and size of the limiting protrusion 520 may match the groove size of the first limiting groove 710 and the groove size of the second limiting groove 720, so that the limiting protrusion 520 may be respectively embedded in the first limiting groove 710 or the second limiting groove 720.

[0082] The first limiting groove 710 and the second limiting groove 720 are located at one side of the inner wall of the guide groove 620 of the abutting member 700 facing the second housing 600, and the limiting protrusion 520 is provided at the side of the locking member 500 facing the abutting member 700. When the limiting protrusion 520 is located outside the first limiting groove 710 and the second limiting groove 720, the limiting protrusion 520 can abut against the abutting member 700, so that the locking member 500 moves relative to the abutting member 700. When the limiting protrusion 520 is embedded in the first limiting groove 710 or the second limiting groove 720, the limiting protrusion 520 can be fixed in the first limiting groove 710 or the second limiting groove 720, so that the limiting protrusion 520 can be fixed.

[0083] Specifically, when the locking member 500 is located at the side of the first limiting member 300 facing away from the second limiting member 400 to support the first limiting member 300, the limiting protrusion 520 is embedded in the first limiting groove 710, so that the locking member 500 can maintain a state of being supported on the side of the first limiting member 300 facing away from the second limiting member 400. When the locking member 500 is dislocated and separated from the first limiting member 300, the limiting protrusion 520 is embedded in the second limiting groove 720, so that the locking member 500 maintains a state of being dislocated and separated from the first limiting member 300.

[0084] The first limiting groove 710 and the second limiting groove 720 can be set as arc grooves, and correspondingly, the limiting protrusion 520 can be set as an arc protrusion, so that when the locking member 500 is subjected to external force, and the external force is large, the limiting protrusion 520 can slide out of the first limiting groove 710 or the second limiting groove 720, so that the abutting member 700 can be moved easily. The abutting member 700 can adopt a cantilever beam structure.

[0085] In addition, in other embodiments, the abutting member 700 of the present application can also be configured to be fixed on the second housing 600, so that the abutting member 700 and the inner wall of the guide groove 620 are not adjustable, and when the locking member 500 is located between the inner wall of the guide groove 620 and the abutting member 700, the friction between the locking member 500 and the inner wall of the wire groove and the abutting member 700 is relatively large. The user needs to apply a large force to the locking member 500 to make the locking member 500 move along the guide groove 620, so that the locking member 500 can be fixed in the guide groove 620 of the second housing 600 without being subjected to a large external force.

[0086] Based on the above housing assembly, the embodiment of the present application further proposes a connector, which includes an electrical connector and the above housing assembly. The electrical connector is disposed on the base 100 and is located in the cavity 210 of the first housing 200 .

[0087] Finally, it should be noted that the above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned implementation modes, a person of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned implementation modes can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the implementation modes of the present application.
