Detailed implementation manners

[0032] The following is a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present utility model, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments.

[0033] The following gives a brief overview of one or more aspects to provide a basic understanding of these aspects. This overview is not an exhaustive survey of all contemplated aspects, and is neither intended to identify key or decisive elements of all aspects nor to define the scope of any or all aspects. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of one or more aspects in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that follows.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, it is a schematic diagram of an OCP connector in the prior art. At 100 in the figure is the cable connection point, which is connected by ultrasonic welding. This method has relatively high requirements for equipment; at 200 in the figure is the housing shielding part, which is processed by bending stainless steel, and the processing is relatively cumbersome.

[0035] Based on the deficiencies of the prior art, as Figures 2 - 9 shown, this embodiment provides a large-current OCP connector with a riveting wiring method, including a plastic shell body 1. A signal sheet 2 is arranged inside the plastic shell body 1. The plastic shell body 1 includes an integrated mating end 11, a wall surface 12, and a wiring end 13. The mating end 11 is provided with a grounding sheet 3, a symmetrically arranged first claw assembly 4 and a second claw assembly 5. The wiring end 13 is provided with a first adapter sheet 6 connected to the first claw assembly 4 and a second adapter sheet 7 connected to the second claw assembly 5. The first adapter sheet 6 and the second adapter sheet 7 are used for riveting cables; by adding the first adapter sheet 6 and the second adapter sheet 7, they can be riveted and connected to the cables, and there is no need for an ultrasonic welding device with relatively high equipment requirements.

[0036] In this embodiment, as a specific solution, the grounding sheet 3 is provided with a shielding pin 31, and a corresponding clamping hole 121 is provided on the wall surface 12. The shielding pin 31 is clamped into the clamping hole 121.

[0037] In this embodiment, as a more specific solution, the grounding sheet 3 is provided with four shielding pins 31, corresponding to the front and both sides of the wall surface 12 respectively. It can also be other numbers, and only four are taken as an example here.

[0038] In this embodiment, as a specific solution, the mating end 11 of the plastic shell body 1 is a U-shaped structure. The grounding sheet 3 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of grounding sheets 3 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the mating end 11 respectively; among them, the shielding pin 31 is quickly clamped into the clamping hole 121 of the wall surface 12 to achieve assembly.

[0039] In this embodiment, as a specific solution, the first jaw assembly 4 includes a stainless-steel backplane 41, a first jaw 42, and a second jaw 43. The stainless-steel backplane 41, the first adapter piece 6, the first jaw 42, and the second jaw 43 are stacked and fixed in sequence. Elastic pieces 401 are further provided at the ends of the first jaw 42 and the second jaw 43, and the positions of the elastic pieces 401 of the first jaw 42 and the second jaw 43 coincide. Specifically, the elastic piece 401 is a hook-shaped structure at the end. After the first jaw 42 and the second jaw 43 are stacked, the lowest positions of the hook-shaped structures at their ends coincide. After the first jaw 42 and the second jaw 43 are superposed, the contact points and cross-sectional areas of the jaws can be increased, and at the same time, the space occupation will not be increased, which is suitable for high-current transmission, while the stainless-steel backplane 41 can improve the strength of the jaws.

[0040] In this embodiment, as a more specific solution, clamping blocks 44 are respectively provided on both sides of the stainless-steel backplane 41, and clamping grooves 45 are respectively provided on both sides of the first jaw 42, the second jaw 43, and the first adapter piece 6. The clamping blocks 44 of the stainless-steel backplane 41 are clamped into the clamping grooves 45 of the first jaw 42, the second jaw 43, and the first adapter piece 6 to achieve positioning. During assembly, the preliminary positioning of the stainless-steel backplane 41, the first jaw 42, the second jaw 43, and the first adapter piece 6 can be quickly realized through the cooperation of the clamping blocks 44 and the clamping grooves 45.

[0041] In this embodiment, as a more specific solution, after preliminary positioning, the stainless-steel backplane 41, the first jaw 42, the second jaw 43, and the first adapter piece 6 are simultaneously fixed with rivets 8. The rivet fixing position is inside the wiring terminal 13, and the other part of the first adapter piece 6 extends outside the wiring terminal 13 for wiring with a cable.

[0042] In this embodiment, as a more specific solution, the structure of the second jaw assembly 5 is the same as that of the first jaw assembly 4. The two are respectively symmetrically arranged above and below inside the U-shaped structure of the mating end 11, and the connection part with the adapter piece extends inside the wiring terminal 13.

[0043] In another specific embodiment, as Figures 10 - 11 shown, the wiring terminal 13 is provided with a lock assembly 9 for locking the first adapter piece 6 and the second adapter piece 7.

[0044] In this embodiment, as a specific solution, the latch assembly 9 is composed of a latch groove 91 formed on the side of the terminal 13 and a detachable latch 92 that cooperates with it. The detachable latch 92 is provided with a first locking groove 93 and a second locking groove 94 for locking the first adapter piece 6 and the second adapter piece 7 respectively. After the grounding piece 3, the first claw assembly 4, the second claw assembly 5, the first adapter piece 6, and the second adapter piece 7 are assembled according to the above structure, the detachable latch 92 is snapped into the latch groove 91, where the first locking groove 93 locks the first adapter piece 6 and the second locking groove 94 locks the second adapter piece 7. The first adapter piece 6 and the second adapter piece 7 are then connected to the cable by riveting respectively. This can ensure the stability of the product structure.

These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it is obvious that many changes and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The purpose of selecting and describing the exemplary embodiments is to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical applications, so that those skilled in the art can implement and utilize the various different exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as well as various different selections and changes.
