[0037] The implementation of the embodiment of the utility model will have the following beneficial effects: the assembled connector 100 of the above scheme respectively assembles the male end shell 21, the male terminal 22 and the first connecting wire 23 to form a plug-in male end assembly 20, and then assembles the female end shell 31, the female terminal and the second connecting wire 32 to form a plug-in female end assembly 30, then connects the luminous braided wire with the second connecting wire 32, and loads the assembled plug-in male end assembly 20 and the plug-in female end assembly 30 into the loading cavity of the loading box 10; at this time, the other end of the first connecting wire 23 extending to the outside of the loading box 10 can be easily connected to the center console, and the luminous braided wire extending to the outside of the loading box 10 can be woven into various patterns, and the luminous braided wire is electrically connected to the center console through the assembled connector 100, so that it can be reliably controlled by the center console, so that the reliability of the woven luminous pattern is good.

[0038] It is necessary to explain that there are usually more than one male terminal 22 installed in the male end housing 21, for example, in this embodiment, there are two male terminals 22; there are usually more than one female terminal installed in the female end housing 31, for example, in this embodiment, there are two female terminals, and the male terminal 22 is in one-to-one contact and electrical conduction with the female terminal, thereby providing at least two signal transmission channels, thereby improving the signal transmission quality and reliability of the connector.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4-Figure 5 In one embodiment, the male housing 21 is provided with a mounting port and a mounting cavity 211 that are connected to each other, and at least part of the female connector assembly 30 is inserted into the mounting cavity 211 through the mounting port and fixed. That is, during assembly, the female connector assembly 30 can be inserted into the mounting cavity 211 through the mounting port, so that the female connector assembly 30 and the male connector assembly 20 can be assembled, and the installation method is simple and the operability is strong. Part of the female connector assembly 30 is left outside the mounting cavity 211 to provide a gripping position, which is convenient for gripping during disassembly, and the female connector assembly 30 and the male connector assembly 20 can be separated by pulling in opposite directions.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to improve the connection strength between the male-end connector component 20 and the female-end connector component 30 after being inserted into each other and to prevent the two from loosening, displacement or even complete separation when pulled by external force, in another embodiment, a slot is provided on the side wall of the mounting cavity 211, and a hook 311 is provided on the outer wall of the female-end shell 31. After the female-end connector component 30 is inserted into the mounting cavity 211, the hook 311 is fixedly engaged with the slot.

[0041] Furthermore, the outer wall of the female housing 31 is provided with a suspension elastic plate 312, and the hook 311 is arranged on the suspension elastic plate 312. When the female connector assembly 30 is inserted into the installation cavity 211, the suspension elastic plate 312 is squeezed by the side wall of the installation cavity 211 and deformed, so that the suspension elastic plate 312 applies an elastic thrust to the hook 311, so that the hook 311 is closely attached to the side wall of the installation cavity 211. When the hook 311 slides to engage with the slot, the suspension elastic plate 312 can still continue to apply an elastic thrust to the hook 311, ensuring that the hook 311 is firmly engaged with the slot, thereby improving installation reliability.

[0042] In another embodiment, at least one guide ridge 211a is convexly provided on the side wall of the installation cavity 211, and at least one guide groove 313 is concavely provided on the outer wall of the female end housing 31. When the female end connector 30 is inserted into the installation cavity 211, the guide ridge 211a slides along the guide groove 313. The guide ridge 211a slides in the guide groove 313, and can guide and limit the female end connector 30 when it is slidably inserted into the installation cavity 211, and at the same time ensure that the hook 311 moves straight toward the groove until the connection is completed, so as to prevent the hook 311 from being offset and failing to smoothly connect with the groove.

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are two guide ridges 211a, which are spaced apart and arranged side by side along the width direction of the male end housing 21, and there are also two guide grooves 313, which are spaced apart and arranged side by side along the width direction of the female end housing 31. The two guide ridges 211a and the two guide grooves 313 are slidably assembled in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby providing better guidance and preventing lateral deviation.

[0044] In another embodiment, the male end connector assembly 20 further includes a male end stopper 24, the male end housing 21 is provided with a first plug hole, the male end stopper 24 is inserted into the first plug hole and presses and fixes the male terminal 22. Similarly, the female end connector assembly 30 further includes a female end stopper 33, the female end housing 31 is provided with a second plug hole, the female end stopper 33 is inserted into the second plug hole and presses and fixes the female terminal. By pressing and fixing the male terminal 22 with the male end stopper 24 and the female terminal with the female end stopper 33, the installation strength and pull-out resistance of the male terminal 22 and the female terminal can be further improved, and the male terminal 22 and the female terminal can be prevented from being displaced and poorly contacted due to external force during installation and use, which affects the smooth transmission of signals between the male terminal 22 and the female terminal.

[0045] In another embodiment, the inner wall of the second box body 12 is provided with a wire clamping groove 122, and the luminous braided wire clamp is arranged in the wire clamping groove 122. The luminous braided wire clamp is installed in the wire clamping groove 122, which can increase the installation strength of the luminous braided wire and prevent the luminous braided wire from being separated from the second connecting wire 32 when pulled by external force. Further, glue is dispensed in the wire clamping groove 122, and after the glue solidifies, the luminous braided wire is bonded and fixed to the wire clamping groove 122, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the fixation.

[0046] In addition, a positioning plate 123 is also provided on the inner wall of the second box body 12, the side of the positioning plate 123 is in contact with the female connector assembly 30, and a positioning groove 123a is concavely provided on the top surface of the positioning plate 123, and the second connecting line 32 is laid in the positioning groove 123a. On the one hand, the positioning plate 123 is in contact with the female connector assembly 30 to play a role in installation and positioning, and on the other hand, the positioning groove 123a plays a role in supporting and lifting the second connecting line 32.

[0047] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
