[0033] See also Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the utility model provides a connector terminal protective cover 1, which can be detachably installed on a connector 2, on which a terminal group is provided. The connector terminal protective cover 1 comprises: a protective cover body 11, on which a protective hole group is provided. The number of protective holes 111 in the protective hole group is the same as that of the terminals 21 in the terminal group, the position tolerance is the same, and the depth of the protective hole 111 is greater than or equal to the length of the terminal 21. When the connector terminal protective cover 1 is installed on the connector 2, the terminal 21 is completely wrapped in the protective hole 111.
[0034] It should be explained that the connector 2 itself is equipped with a terminal group for achieving electrical connection. The main purpose of the connector terminal protective cover 1 in this embodiment is to provide protection for the terminals 21 on the connector 2 to prevent them from being damaged or contaminated from the outside. Therefore, when the connector terminal protective cover 1 is installed on the connector 2, all the exposed terminals 21 on the connector 2 are inserted into the protective holes 111 set on the connector terminal protective cover 1, so that external forces cannot damage the terminals 21, effectively ensuring the position of the terminals 21. At the same time, since the periphery of the terminals 21 has been covered by the connector terminal protective cover 1, external objects cannot touch the surface of the terminals 21, effectively protecting the plating of the terminals 21 from damage, and preventing dust and other dirt from entering the outer surface around the terminals 21.
[0035] Furthermore, a positioning column 112 is provided on the protective cover body 11 , and a positioning hole 22 corresponding to the positioning column 112 is provided on the connector 2 . When the connector terminal protective cover 1 is installed on the connector 2 , the positioning column 112 is inserted into the positioning hole 22 .
[0036] Specifically, two positioning posts 112 are provided. In other embodiments, the number of positioning posts 112 may be greater than two. The purpose is to make the installation of the connector terminal protective cover 1 more accurate and stable through multi-point positioning.
[0037] Specifically, the positioning posts 112 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the protective cover body 11 , so that when assembled, the bottom surface of the protective cover body 11 faces the connector 2 .
[0038] In this embodiment, when the connector terminal protective cover 1 is installed on the connector 2, the positioning column 112 will be accurately inserted into the positioning hole 22. This process realizes the precise alignment between the connector terminal protective cover 1 and the connector 2. Furthermore, the docking of the positioning column 112 and the positioning hole 22 makes the protection hole group on the connector terminal protective cover 1 and the terminal group on the connector 2 more accurately aligned. At the same time, the physical connection between the positioning column 112 and the positioning hole 22 enhances the connection stability between the connector terminal protective cover 1 and the connector 2, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connector terminal protective cover 1 after installation.
[0039] Furthermore, a snap-fitting member 113 is provided on the protective cover body 11 . When the connector terminal protective cover 1 is installed on the connector 2 , the snap-fitting member 113 and the housing of the connector 2 form a snap-fitting structure.
[0040] Specifically, the snap fastener 113 provides a detachable connection between the protective cover body 11 and the connector 2 , and in other embodiments, it can also be a screw connection.
[0041] Specifically, the latch 113 includes: a toggle portion 1131, a connecting portion 1132, and a hook portion 1133. The connecting portion 1132 is connected to the peripheral side of the protective cover body 11, the toggle portion 1131 extends from the connecting portion 1132 toward the top side of the protective cover body 11, and the hook portion 1133 extends from the connecting portion 1132 toward the bottom side of the protective cover body 11. When the connector terminal protective cover 1 is installed on the connector 2, the hook portion 1133 is snapped into the shell of the connector 2. It can be understood that the toggle portion 1131 extends from the connecting portion 1132 toward the top side of the protective cover body 11, forming a portion that is easy to operate manually. The user can easily control the opening and closing of the latch 113 by toggling this portion, thereby realizing the installation and disassembly between the protective cover and the connector 2; the hook portion 1133 is the key part of the latch 113 to realize the fixing function. The hook portion 1133 extends from the connecting portion 1132 toward the bottom side of the protective cover body 11, forming a hook-shaped structure. When the connector terminal protective cover 1 is installed on the connector 2, the hook portion 1133 will be accurately snapped onto the shell of the connector 2, and the tight connection between the protective cover and the connector 2 will be realized by physical snapping.
[0042] Furthermore, a connecting groove 114 is provided inwardly on the side of the protective cover body 11, and the two sides of the connecting portion 1132 are connected to the two side groove walls of the connecting groove 114. The connecting portion 1132 and the groove body of the connecting groove 114 enclose a swing gap, and the swing gap is used to accommodate the deformation of the buckle 113. It can be understood that when the toggle portion 1131 is subjected to an external force, for example, when the user toggles for installation or removal, the buckle 113 will produce a certain deformation, so that the barb portion 1133 swings toward or away from the center of the protective cover body 11, so as to achieve installation or removal with the connector 2. The swing gap can accommodate the deformation of the buckle 113 when the external force acts on the toggle portion 1131, so as to prevent the barb portion 1133 from being unable to swing.
[0043] Furthermore, at least two snap fasteners 113 are provided, and the snap fasteners 113 are evenly arranged on the circumference of the protective cover body 11. In this embodiment, by providing at least two snap fasteners 113, it is possible to ensure that the connector terminal protective cover 1 is tightly fixed to the connector 2 at multiple positions, greatly enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection, and no matter from which direction the external force is applied, sufficient support and fixation can be obtained, thereby effectively preventing the protective cover from falling off or shifting.
[0044] Specifically, the connector 2 body is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the protection hole group is arranged in the middle of the connector 2 body.
[0045] Specifically, the connector terminal protective cover 1 is an integrated structure formed by in-mold injection molding. Preferably, the connector terminal protective cover 1 is formed by in-mold injection molding of ABS plastic. As a general thermoplastic engineering plastic, ABS has good rigidity, hardness and processing fluidity, and is therefore particularly suitable for injection molding processes. This process not only has a large output, but also can be produced in batches and continuously, has stable dimensions, and is easy to realize automation and high-speed production, thereby bringing extremely high economic benefits. Furthermore, ABS material has good recyclability, and if the protective cover is worn or needs to be replaced during use, it can be recycled and reused.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the connector terminal protection cover of the utility model has a protection hole group on the protection cover body corresponding to the terminal group on the connector. When assembled on the connector, the terminals on the connector are inserted into the protection holes, and external forces cannot damage the terminals, thereby effectively ensuring the position of the terminals.
[0047] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
