In the embodiment of the present application, the number of guide blocks 21 is set to two groups, and the two groups of guide blocks 21 are respectively located on opposite sides of the power interface 2. Two guide blocks 21 are provided in each group, and the bottom end of each guide block 21 is integrally formed with the host housing 1, and the side wall of each guide block 21 is integrally formed with the side wall of the power interface 2.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a plurality of terminal positioning holes 11 are also provided on the outer wall of the host housing 1 near the power interface 2, and the plurality of terminal positioning holes 11 are respectively located in the two signal interfaces 3. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the terminal positioning holes 11 in one signal interface 3 is set to six, and the number of the terminal positioning holes 11 in the other signal interface 3 is set to four. The signal terminals are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the terminal positioning holes 11, and are respectively inserted into the corresponding terminal positioning holes 11.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A placement ring 5 is also provided on one end of the host housing 1 away from the power interface 2. One end of the placement ring 5 is formed integrally with the host housing 1. The other end of the placement ring 5 extends away from the host housing 1 with an anti-slip portion 51, which is formed integrally with the placement ring 5. The outer diameter of the anti-slip portion 51 is greater than the outer diameter of the placement ring 5 body.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The placement ring 5 is also provided with a waterproof ring 6, which is made of rubber. The inner diameter of the waterproof ring 6 in a relaxed state is smaller than the outer diameter of the placement ring 5, so that the inner wall of the waterproof ring 6 is closely attached to the outer wall of the placement ring 5 after being provided, thereby ensuring waterproof performance. The end of the waterproof ring 6 away from the main body housing 1 abuts against the anti-detachment part 51, and the outer diameter of the anti-detachment part 51 away from the main body housing 1 is larger than the inner diameter of the waterproof ring 6 and smaller than the inner diameter of the waterproof ring 6.

[0041] The implementation principle of an integrated automobile steering connector in Example 1 of the present application is as follows: the presence of the host housing 1, the power interface 2 and the signal interface 3 enables the host housing 1, the power interface 2 and the signal interface 3 to be fixedly connected through one-piece molding, thereby replacing the assembly of the connector and the shell in the prior art, eliminating the complicated assembly process, and reducing the difficulty of assembly between the connector and the shell, thereby facilitating the assembly of the automobile steering connector by relevant personnel and improving the assembly efficiency of the automobile steering connector.

[0042] Embodiment 2:

[0043] The difference between the second embodiment of the present application and the first embodiment is that: Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A sleeve ring 7 is also provided at one end of the host housing 1 away from the power interface 2. One end of the sleeve ring 7 extends to the interior of the host housing 1 and is provided with a guide surface. A groove that matches the guide surface on the sleeve ring 7 is provided on one end of the host housing 1 close to the sleeve ring 7 to abut against the guide surface on the sleeve ring 7.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The sleeve ring 7 is also sleeved with a waterproof ring 6, which is made of rubber, and one side of the waterproof ring 6 abuts against the end of the host housing 1. The sleeve ring 7 extends outward from one end of the host housing 1, and the outer diameter after extension is larger than the inner diameter of the waterproof ring 6 and smaller than the outer diameter of the waterproof ring 6.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 There is even a positioning block 8 on the inner side wall of the main housing 1 near one end of the sleeve ring 7. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the positioning blocks 8 is set to three, and the three positioning blocks 8 are arranged at equal angles along the circumference of the axis direction of the main housing 1. Each positioning block 8 is integrally formed with the inner side wall of the main housing 1.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A positioning groove 71 is also provided on one end of the sleeve ring 7 close to the power interface 2. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the positioning grooves 71 is set to three, and they are arranged one by one corresponding to the positioning blocks 8. Each positioning block 8 is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 71 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 71, and the inner bottom wall of the positioning groove 71 abuts against the bottom wall of the positioning block 8.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the sleeve ring 7 is also provided with a fastener 9. In the embodiment of the present application, three fasteners 9 are provided, and they correspond one to one with the positioning blocks 8. The fasteners 9 are provided as countersunk screws, which pass through the sleeve ring 7 from the inside of the host housing 1, and are inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 71, and are screwed into the corresponding positioning block 8 to fix the sleeve ring 7 and the positioning block 8. In other embodiments, the fasteners 9 may also be bolts.

[0048] The implementation principle of the integrated automobile steering connector in Example 2 of the present application is as follows: when in use, first sleeve the waterproof ring 6 on one end of the open guide surface on the sleeve ring 7, and then move the waterproof ring 6 toward the other end. When one side of the waterproof ring 6 abuts against the inner wall of the other end of the sleeve ring 7, the sleeve is completed. Then, the positioning groove 71 on the sleeve ring 7 corresponds to the positioning block 8 on the main body shell 1, so that the sleeve ring 7 is sleeved in the main body shell 1, so that the inner bottom wall of the positioning groove 71 abuts against the positioning block 8, and at this time, the other side of the waterproof ring 6 is in contact with the outer wall of the end of the main body shell 1. Finally, the sleeve ring 7 is fixed to the main body shell 1 by the fastener 9 to complete the installation of the waterproof ring 6.
