[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present utility model are described below, it should be understood that the present utility model can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present utility model more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present utility model to those skilled in the art.

[0028] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the present utility model provides a clamping component for a connector, including:

[0029] Two clamping parts 1, one side edge of the two clamping parts 1 is connected by a flexible connecting part 2, the connecting part 2 can be bent, and after bending, the two clamping parts 1 form a clamping state, a clamping space is formed between the two clamping parts 1, and a connector assembly in an inserted state can be clamped in the clamping space;

[0030] A clamping component, the clamping component is connected to at least one of the two clamping parts 1, and can clamp the two clamping components in a clamping state.

[0031] Specifically, to solve the problem of the loosening of the wire-end connector in the connector assembly due to vibration in the prior art, the clamping part 1 for the connector provided by the present utility model has two clamping parts 1 connected by a flexible connecting part 2. The connecting part 2 is provided at a position near one end of the two clamping parts 1, and an opening is formed at a position near the other end of the two clamping parts 1. The opening can facilitate the insertion of the cable connected to the wire-end connector in the connector assembly, thereby facilitating the operation and use of the clamping part 1 for the connector on the connector assembly. When the connecting part 2 is bent, the two clamping parts 1 can form a clamping state, and the connector assembly in the plugged state can be accommodated through the clamping space between them. And the two clamping parts 1 are clamped by a clamping component to clamp the connector assembly in the plugged state, improving the plugging stability of the connector assembly and avoiding the accidental detachment of the wire-end connector due to vibration.

[0032] Optionally, the clamping part 1 is plate-shaped.

[0033] Specifically, the clamping part 1 adopts a plate-shaped structure, which is convenient for processing and operation, and can clamp the connector assembly on the mutually remote surfaces in the plugged state.

[0034] Optionally, the connecting part 2 is sheet-shaped.

[0035] Specifically, the connecting part 2 connects the two clamping parts 1 and is convenient for bending, so that the two clamping parts 1 form a clamping state. The connecting part 2 near one end of the two clamping parts 1 forms a limiting structure between the two clamping parts 1, which can limit the cable placed between the two clamping parts 1. And at the position near the other end of the two clamping parts 1, an opening is formed between the two clamping parts 1. The setting of the opening facilitates the insertion of the cable between the two clamping parts 1, and the cable can be inserted between the two clamping parts 1 at any time without first inserting one end of the cable between the two clamping parts 1 and then moving the clamping part 1 for the connector relative to the cable.

[0036] Optionally, the clamping part 1 and the connecting part 2 are integrally formed, and the thickness of the connecting part 2 is less than the thickness of the clamping part 1.

[0037] Specifically, the clamping part 1 and the connecting part 2 are integrally formed and can be made of the same material. By controlling the thickness of the connecting part 2, its flexibility is controlled, which is convenient for bending. The thickness of the clamping part 1 also needs to be controlled to ensure its structural strength and clamping effect.

[0038] Optionally, the thickness of the connecting part 2 is 1-2 mm.

[0039] Specifically, the thickness of the connecting part 2 should not be too thin or too thick. If it is too thick, it will affect its flexibility and is not conducive to bending. If it is too thin, it will affect its service life.

[0040] Optionally, the thickness of the clamping portion 1 is at least 3 mm.

[0041] Specifically, the thickness of the clamping portion 1 needs to ensure that it has sufficient structural strength and stiffness to ensure the stability of clamping the connector assembly.

[0042] Optionally, the materials of the clamping portion 1 and the connecting portion 2 are plastics.

[0043] Specifically, the clamping portion 1 for the connector can be made of plastic material by injection molding.

[0044] Preferably, the materials of the clamping portion 1 and the connecting portion 2 are nylon, which has good toughness and a long service life.

[0045] Optionally, a first groove 3 is provided in the middle of one side edge where the two clamping portions 1 are connected to the connecting portion 2.

[0046] Specifically, the setting of the first groove 3 can facilitate the accommodation of the cable placed between the two clamping portions 1 when the clamping portion 1 for the connector is not in the clamping state, that is, when the two clamping portions 1 are in the open state as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 and has a certain limiting effect on the cable.

[0047] Optionally, the clamping component includes jaw portions 4 provided at both ends of one of the clamping portions 1. A hook portion 5 is provided at the outer end of the jaw portion 4. Second grooves 6 are provided at both ends of the other clamping portion 1, and each second groove 6 corresponds to one jaw portion 4.

[0048] Specifically, the jaw portion 4 of the clamping component with the hook portion 5 can pass through the second groove 6 and be hooked on the other clamping portion 1 by the buckle portion to realize the clamping of the two clamping portions 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the jaw portion 4 is plate-shaped, the hook portion 5 is wedge-shaped, and the two hook portions 5 are respectively provided on the closer sides of the two jaw portions 4 to be able to slide over the bottom of the second groove 6 through the elastic deformation of the jaw portion and come to the outside of the other clamping portion 1 to clamp it.

[0050] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , one of the clamping portions 1 is the first clamping portion 1, and the other clamping portion 1 is the second clamping portion 1.

[0051] Optionally, boss portions are provided at both ends of one of the clamping portions 1, and each jaw portion 4 is connected to the clamping portion 1 through the boss portion.

[0052] Specifically, the setting of the two boss parts can form a limit between the two clamping parts 1 when the clamping part 1 for the connector is in the clamping state, restricting the size of the clamping space.

[0053] Optionally, on the side where the two jaw parts 4 approach each other, a hollow groove 7 is respectively provided on the clamping part 1.

[0054] Specifically, the hollow groove 7 can be a rectangular groove. The setting of the hollow groove 7 can facilitate the demolding of the position of the jaw part 4 during processing.

[0055] The present utility model also provides a clamping structure, including:

[0056] A connector assembly, which includes a board - end connector and a wire - end connector. The board - end connector is arranged on a printed circuit board, and through - slots are opened at both ends of the printed circuit board where the board - end connector is located. The through - slots can accommodate a clamping component to pass through. The wire - end connector is connected with a cable and is inserted and matched with the board - end connector;

[0057] The above - mentioned clamping part 1 for the connector can clamp and hold the connector assembly in the inserted state through its clamping space, and clamp the connector assembly in the inserted state through the two clamping parts 1.

[0058] Specifically, the board - end connector is fixed on the printed circuit board. The wire - end connector connected with the cable is inserted into the board - end connector to form a connector assembly in the inserted state. The above - mentioned clamping part 1 for the connector can facilitate the placement of the cable between the two clamping parts 1 through the opening formed between the other ends of the two clamping parts 1, so that the two clamping parts 1 can be conveniently installed near the connector assembly. Then, the clamping component can be passed through the through - slot on the printed circuit board, and the connecting part 2 can be bent to make the two clamping parts 1 form a clamping state. The clamping space is used to accommodate the connector assembly in the inserted state, and the two clamping parts 1 are used to clamp the connector assembly in the inserted state, avoiding the accidental disconnection of the wire - end connector and resulting in the failure of electrical conduction.

[0059] The above have described the embodiments of the present utility model. The above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
