[0053] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0054] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 The connector 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described, and includes: a harness end mounting portion 100 and a positioning portion 200 .

[0055] Specifically, the harness end mounting portion 100 is formed with a harness end mounting groove 110 for mounting the harness end; the positioning portion 200 is arranged on the harness end mounting portion 100, and the positioning portion 200 includes an inner positioning portion 220 arranged in the harness end mounting groove 110. When the harness end is installed in the harness end mounting groove 110, the inner positioning portion 220 can cooperate with the harness end to prevent fooling.

[0056] That is to say, during the use of the sensor 20, the harness end mounting portion 100 is suitable for being connected to the harness end, and during the connection between the harness end mounting portion 100 and the harness end, the positioning portion 200 on the harness end mounting portion 100 is suitable for positioning and fool-proof cooperation with the harness end, which can simplify the assembly process, avoid mis-insertion, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0057] In this way, during the use of the sensor 20, it is suitable to be connected to the harness end through the harness end mounting portion 100, so that the signal emitted by the sensor 20 during the use can be transmitted through the plugging of the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100. During the plugging process of the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100, since the harness end mounting portion 100 is provided with a positioning portion 200, it is suitable to be positioned and matched with the harness end through the positioning portion 200, which can not only simplify the connection process between the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100, but also improve the stability of the assembly of the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100, so that the signal of the sensor 20 during use can be transmitted through the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100, thereby making the use of the sensor 20 more reliable.

[0058] Moreover, since the positioning portion 200 also includes an inner positioning portion 220, the inner positioning portion 220 is disposed in the wiring harness end mounting groove 110, so that the inner positioning portion 220 and the outer positioning portion 210 can limit the assembly connection between the wiring harness end and the wiring harness end mounting groove 110 together, which not only makes the assembly between the wiring harness end and the wiring harness end mounting groove 110 more reliable, but also makes the positioning and anti-mistake function of the wiring harness end mounting groove 110 more reliable.

[0059] According to the connector 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, a positioning portion 200 is provided on the harness end mounting portion 100, so that when the harness end mounting portion 100 is connected to the harness end, it is suitable for positioning and matching with the harness end through the positioning portion 200, which simplifies the connection process between the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100 and makes the assembly and use of the sensor 20 in the vehicle more reliable. At the same time, since the positioning portion 200 includes an inner positioning portion 220, by making the inner positioning portion 220 match the harness end to prevent fooling, while simplifying the assembly process, it can also improve the assembly efficiency, and make the connection between the harness end and the connector 10 more reliable to improve the performance.

[0060] In some embodiments, the inner positioning portion 220 includes a positioning plate, and both ends of the positioning plate are connected to the side walls of the harness end mounting groove 110. In this way, since the inner positioning portion 220 is configured as a positioning plate, the plate-shaped positioning plate has a more reliable performance, so that the connection between the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100 has a higher stability, so that the sensor 20 can transmit the signal more reliably during use.

[0061] It is understandable that the positioning plate is asymmetrically disposed in the mounting groove 110 at the wiring harness end, thereby enabling the inner positioning portion 220 to play a role in fool-proof cooperation with the wiring harness end.

[0062] In some embodiments, the positioning plate is provided with a positioning groove 221, and the positioning groove 221 is used to position and cooperate with the wiring harness end. By providing the positioning groove 221 on the positioning plate, the inner positioning part 220 can be further positioned and foolproofed through the positioning groove 221 during use. In addition, the positioning plate is further provided with a positioning groove 221, and the positioning groove 221 is suitable for separating the positioning plates, so that the positioning plates separated by the positioning groove 221 have higher structural strength, so that the plug-in cooperation between the wiring harness end and the wiring harness end mounting part 100 is more reliable, so that the assembly setting of the sensor 20 has higher stability.

[0063] In some embodiments, a positioning rib 222 is provided on one side of the positioning plate close to the center of the harness end mounting groove 110, and the positioning rib 222 is used to position and cooperate with the harness end. It is understandable that by providing the positioning rib 222 on the positioning plate, the inner positioning portion 220 can be further positioned and foolproofed by the positioning rib 222 during use, so that the connection and cooperation between the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100 is more reliable, thereby improving the assembly stability of the connector 10.

[0064] In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib 223 is provided on one side of the inner positioning portion 220 away from the center of the harness end mounting groove 110, and the reinforcing rib 223 is connected between the side wall and the positioning plate of the harness end mounting groove 110. In this way, by providing the reinforcing rib 223 on the inner positioning portion 220, the reinforcing rib 223 is suitable for improving the structural reliability of the inner positioning portion 220 arranged in the harness end mounting groove 110, thereby improving the stability during assembly between the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100, so as to make the connection between the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100 more reliable.

[0065] In some embodiments, the inner positioning portion 220 further includes: a guide portion 300, the guide portion 300 is disposed in the harness end mounting groove 110 and connected to the side wall of the harness end mounting groove 110, and the guide portion 300 is used to guide the harness end. It is understandable that the connector 10 is also provided with a guide portion 300, which is suitable for guiding the connection and cooperation between the harness end and the harness end mounting groove 110, and can facilitate the assembly and cooperation between the harness end and the harness end mounting groove 110 to improve the assembly efficiency.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, there are multiple guide parts 300, and the multiple guide parts 300 are respectively connected to different side walls of the harness end mounting groove 110. In this way, by providing multiple guide parts 300, not only can the setting of the guide part 300 on the harness end mounting groove 110 be more reliable, but also the assembly connection process between the harness end mounting groove 110 and the harness end can be simpler, thereby simplifying the assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency. At the same time, the multiple guide parts 300 are respectively arranged on different side walls of the harness end mounting groove 110, so that the guide parts 300 arranged on different side walls can cooperate with the assembly between the harness end mounting part 100 and the harness end in all directions, making the assembly between the harness end and the harness end mounting part 100 more stable, but also simplifying the assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency, so that the setting of the sensor 20 in the vehicle is more reliable.

[0067] In some embodiments, the guide portion 300 protrudes from the side wall of the harness end mounting groove toward the center of the harness end mounting groove, and along the insertion direction of the harness end, the protruding height of at least part of the guide portion 300 gradually increases. In this way, by constructing the structural shape of the guide portion 300 to protrude toward the center of the harness end mounting groove 110, the structural strength of the guide portion 300 is improved, so that the guiding use of the guide portion 300 is more reliable. At the same time, the protruding height of at least part of the guide portion 300 is gradually increased, so that the guide portion 30 guides the harness end, so that the connection process between the connector 10 and the harness end is more convenient.

[0068] In some embodiments, the inner positioning portion 220 includes a positioning plate and a guide portion 300, and the wiring harness end mounting portion 100 includes a first side wall 111, a second side wall 112, a third side wall 113 and a fourth side wall 114 connected in sequence, the first side wall 111, the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113 and the fourth side wall 114 jointly define a wiring harness end mounting groove 110, the first side wall 111 is opposite to the third side wall 113, the second side wall 112 is opposite to the fourth side wall 114, the guide portion 300 is connected to at least one of the first side wall 111, the second side wall 112 and the third side wall 113, and the positioning plate is connected to at least one of the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113 and the fourth side wall 114.

[0069] That is to say, the wiring harness end mounting portion 100 also includes a first side wall 111, a second side wall 112, a third side wall 113 and a fourth side wall 114 which are sequentially connected, so that the first side wall 111, the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113 and the fourth side wall 114 together constitute the wiring harness end mounting portion 100, which not only enables the structural setting of the wiring harness end mounting portion 100 to have higher strength and rigidity, but also provides a position for the setting of the positioning portion 200, so that the positioning portion 200 can fix the assembly connection between the wiring harness end and the wiring harness end mounting portion 100, thereby making the assembly connection between the wiring harness end and the wiring harness end mounting portion 100 more reliable. At the same time, the guide portion 300 is connected to at least one of the first side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall, and the positioning plate is connected to at least one of the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113 and the fourth side wall 114, so that it can be ensured that at least one pair of the two pairs of side walls oppositely arranged in the wiring harness end mounting groove 110 has a different fit with the wiring harness end, so that the internal positioning portion 220 can achieve fool-proof fit with the wiring harness end.

[0070] It is understandable that it can be Figure 1 As shown, the guide portion 300 is connected to the first side wall 111 , the second side wall 112 and the third side wall 113 , and the positioning plate is connected to the fourth side wall 114 . Of course, other implementation forms are also possible.

[0071] In some embodiments, the positioning portion 200 includes an external positioning portion 210, which is disposed on the outer wall surface of the harness end mounting portion 100. It is understandable that the positioning portion 200 includes the external positioning portion 210, which is suitable for being constructed on the outer wall surface of the harness end mounting portion 100, so that the external positioning portion 210 can be fixed from the outside of the harness end mounting portion 100, so that the plug-in setting between the harness end mounting portion 100 and the harness end is more reliable, so that the subsequent use of the sensor 20 is more stable and accurate. The external positioning portion 210 can be disposed on the outside of the connection between the second side wall 112 and the third side wall 113, so that the setting of the positioning portion 200 on the harness end mounting portion 100 is more reliable, so that the positioning portion 200 can cooperate with the harness end, so that the assembly connection stability of the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100 is higher.

[0072] In some embodiments, the external positioning portion 210 is configured as a positioning rib, and the external positioning portion 210 extends along the installation direction of the harness end mounting portion 100 and the harness end. In this way, by setting the external positioning portion 210 as a positioning rib, the positioning rib has a higher performance, so that the external positioning portion 210 can more reliably position and match the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100, and while achieving a foolproof effect, it can also make the plug-in match between the harness end and the harness end mounting portion 100 more reliable.

It is understandable that the connector 10 may also be provided with a first clamping portion 400, and the first clamping portion 400 can be clamped and matched with the harness end, so that the assembly setting between the connector 10 and the harness end is more reliable, and the setting stability of the sensor 20 on the harness end is improved.

[0074] In some specific embodiments, the connector 10 further includes: a support frame mounting portion 500, the support frame mounting portion 500 is connected to the harness end mounting portion 100, and the support frame mounting portion 500 is used to mount the support frame 25.

[0075] In some specific embodiments, the connector 10 further includes: a support frame positioning portion 700, the support frame positioning portion 700 is arranged on the side of the support frame mounting portion 500 facing the support frame 25, and the support frame positioning portion 700 is used to position and cooperate with the support frame 25.

[0076] In some specific embodiments, there are multiple support frame positioning parts 700, and the multiple support frame positioning parts 700 are arranged at intervals on the side of the support frame mounting part 500 facing the support frame 25.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, the support frame positioning portion 700 is constructed as a positioning column, and the cross-sectional areas of the multiple positioning columns are different, and the cross-sectional areas of the positioning columns are perpendicular to the height direction of the positioning columns. In this way, by setting the support frame positioning portion 700 as a positioning column, while facilitating the production and construction of the positioning column, the setting of the positioning column can also have a higher structural strength so that the support frame 25 can better cooperate with the positioning column, thereby making the setting between the positioning column and the support frame 25 more reliable. At the same time, in order to avoid mis-assembly and achieve fool-proofing, the cross-sectional areas of the multiple positioning columns can also be set to be different, so as to facilitate the assembly connection between the support frame 25 and the connector 10.
