AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When using a car connector, due to the gap at the connection port, dust is easily lost inside the connector, resulting in accumulation of dust. The plug terminal and socket terminal are not tightly plugged in, which is easy to fall off due to vehicle vibration.

Method used

An automobile connector with a locking mechanism is designed. When plugging the plug body with the socket body, the plug at the bottom of the upper plate body squeezes the clamping block, driving the rotation of the rotating rod and the torsion spring to deform until the plug is located between the clamping blocks and fixes, and the rotation of the clamping block is prevented by limiting bolts, enhancing the fixing firmness between the plug and the socket.

Benefits of technology

The initial fixing effect between the plug body and the socket body is achieved, and the fixing firmness is further enhanced through the design of the limit bolt, avoiding the problem of falling off caused by car vibration, and effectively preventing dust accumulation.

[0002] The automotive connector is a component that electronic engineering technicians often come into contact with. Its function is very simple: to build a bridge of communication between blocked parts in the circuit or isolated circuits, so that current can flow and the circuit can achieve the predetermined function. In the prior art, when the automotive connector is in use, there is a gap at the connection port, and dust is easily accumulated inside the connector. After a long period of use, a lot of dust will accumulate, causing the connector to malfunction. At the same time, the plug terminal and the socket terminal are not inserted firmly enough to achieve electrical connection, and the vibration of the car causes the battery replacement connector to fall off.

[0003] For example, the authorized patent document with application number CN202021018831.9 discloses an automotive connector socket with a temperature sensor, including a connecting line and a second groove, a connecting block is provided at the right end of the connecting line, and a left fixed seat is installed above the right end of the connecting block, a card seat is provided above the right end of the left fixed seat, and a thread is installed below the card seat, a card block is provided below the thread, a transmission line is provided at the right end of the right fixed seat, a first groove is provided at the right end of the temperature sensor, the second groove is located below the right end of the left fixed seat, a guide rod is provided above the right end of the rubber ring, and a power cord is provided at the right end of the third groove. Compared with the existing ordinary connector socket, the automotive connector socket with a temperature sensor has an anti-drop connection inside and a temperature sensing structure. While adding the structure, the performance of the entire connector socket is greatly improved. The improved connector socket effectively meets people's usage needs.

[0004] The above patent has the problem that when the automobile connector is in use, there is a gap at the connection port, and dust is easy to accumulate inside the connector. After a long period of use, a large amount of dust will accumulate. At the same time, the plug terminal and the socket terminal are not firmly connected when they are plugged in to achieve electrical connection. Therefore, we need to provide an automobile connector with a locking mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0033] When the locking cam 73 is in the unlocking state, the locking cam 73 is in the unlocking state, and the locking cam 73 is in the unlocking state, so that the locking cam 73 is locked and locked in the unlocking state.

[0034] The dustproof member 5 comprises a sealing ring body 51 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the plug body 1, an annular groove 52 is formed at the top of the socket body 2, four spring devices 53 are clamped at the bottom of the inner wall of the annular groove 52, and a movable ring body 54 is clamped at the top of the four spring devices 53, and the movable ring body 54 is adapted to the sealing ring body 51;

[0035] Specifically, when the plug body 1 is inserted into the socket body 2, the sealing ring body 51 at the bottom of the plug body 1 will squeeze the movable ring body 54 to move in the annular groove 52, and at the same time the four springs 53 are compressed until the sealing ring body 51 is located in the annular groove 52, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0036] Four guide cylinders 9 are fixedly installed on the top of the lower plate body 4, and guide rods 10 adapted to the four guide cylinders 9 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the upper plate body 3;

[0037] In order to facilitate the installation and use between the lower plate body 4 and the upper plate body 3 , the guide rod 10 is inserted into the guide cylinder 9 to install the plug body 1 and the socket body 2 .

[0038] A reserved groove for storing the torsion spring 74 is provided on one side of the clamping block 73;
