[0002] For the installation of automotive headlights, it not only includes the installation of the automotive headlights themselves, but also the connection and fixation of the wires connected to the automotive headlights. The wires connected to the automotive headlights are connected to the steering wheel through connectors, and are controlled by the buttons or levers on the steering wheel.

[0003] In the prior art, as shown in the attached Figure 5 For the end of the wire connected to the automotive headlight, a plug is usually provided, and the plug is installed on the steering wheel by setting a socket. Among them, the connector includes a plug terminal connected to the wire, a plug rod integrally formed at the bottom of the plug terminal, side abutting blocks integrally formed on both sides of the top of the plug rod, and elastic blocks integrally formed on both sides of the plug rod. A round hole is opened on the socket for the plug rod to be inserted, and the side abutting blocks are abutted against the end face of the socket to increase the limit. In this installation method, the plug rod can rotate freely in the round hole, and thus the plug can also rotate freely relative to the socket. Only by shortening the wire length can the rotation angle of the plug be limited.

[0004] During long-term use, between the loose plug and the socket, the plug plating may peel, be bruised, the plastic shell may have flash or crack due to friction, and it will also affect the connection between the wires, and may cause power failure or the disassembly of the wire and the plug.

[0005] Therefore, in view of this, the inventor provides an anti-displacement structure for connector installation to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the problem that the connection between the traditional plug and the socket is unstable, the plug can rotate relative to the socket, and it will affect the use safety under long-term friction.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the basic scheme of the present utility model provides an anti-displacement structure for connector installation, including a plug and a socket. A plug rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the plug. Side abutting blocks with a width smaller than the width of the plug are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the plug rod. Elastic blocks are also fixedly connected to both sides of the plug rod. A jack for the plug rod to be inserted is opened on the socket. A first limiting rib is provided on one side of the socket, and a second limiting rib is provided on the opposite side. Grooves for the plug to be inserted are opened on both the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib. A receiving gap for the side abutting blocks to be inserted is formed between the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib, and one end of the receiving gap converges to the other end and gradually becomes smaller than the width of the plug.

[0008] Further, first lateral clamping platforms are respectively formed on the first limiting ribs on both sides of the notch, and a first clamping gap for the plug to be inserted is formed between the first lateral clamping platforms on both sides.

[0009] Further, second lateral clamping platforms are respectively formed on the second limiting ribs on both sides of the notch, and a second clamping gap for the plug to be inserted is formed between the second lateral clamping platforms on both sides.

[0010] Further, fillets are respectively formed between the first lateral clamping platform and the first limiting rib on the same side, and between the second lateral clamping platform and the second limiting rib on the same side.

[0011] Further, notches are formed on both the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib, and pointing arrows are arranged in the notches.

[0012] Further, the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib are equal in height and the same in length.

[0013] Further, the width of the first limiting rib is greater than the width of the second limiting rib.

[0014] Further, the height of the pointing arrow is less than the height of the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib.

[0015] Further, the jack is rectangular.

[0016] The principle and effect of this solution are as follows:

[0017] 1. Compared with the prior art, the present utility model is provided with a first limiting rib and a second limiting rib on the socket. The plug is inserted through the notches formed on the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib, and the two body parts of the plug are respectively clamped at the corresponding notch positions to fix the plug. Since the plug is clamped in the notch and cannot rotate after being fixed, the problem that the connection between the traditional plug and the socket is unstable, the plug can rotate relative to the socket, and the use safety will be affected under long-term friction is solved.

[0018] 2. Compared with the prior art, a receiving gap is further formed between the first limiting rib and the second limiting rib provided on the socket, and one end of the receiving gap converges to the other end and gradually becomes smaller than the width of the plug. When the plug is placed in the wrong direction, that is, corresponding to the receiving gap position instead of the corresponding notch position, the width of the receiving gap will not allow the complete insertion of the plug to prevent the plug from being installed in the wrong direction. The effect of restricting rotation by the notch and restricting the installation direction by the receiving gap constitutes an anti-misalignment installation structure.

[0025] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific embodiments, structures, features, and effects of the present invention as follows.

[0026] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: plug 1, elastic block 2, side abutting block 3, socket 4, second limiting rib 5, second rib side clamping platform 6, first limiting rib 7, first rib side clamping platform 8, pointing arrow 9, anti-misalignment inclined surface 10, jack 11.

[0027] An anti-misalignment structure for connector installation, as shown in the embodiments such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown:

[0028] It includes a plug 1 and a socket 4. At the bottom of the plug 1, a plug rod is integrally formed. At the top of the plug rod, two side abutting blocks 3 that incline downward and open are integrally formed. The width of the side abutting block 3 is smaller than the width of the plug 1, and the length is also smaller than the length of the plug 1. On both sides of the plug rod, two elastic blocks 2 that incline upward and open are respectively integrally formed. A jack 11 for inserting the plug rod and the elastic blocks 2 is formed on the socket 4. In this embodiment, the shape of the jack 11 is rectangular. When the plug rod is inserted into the jack 11, the elastic blocks 2 open and the tops of the elastic blocks 2 respectively abut against the inner bottom surface of the socket 4, and the bottom ends of the side abutting blocks 3 respectively abut against the top surface of the socket 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, a first limiting rib 7 is integrally formed on the right side of the socket 4, and a second limiting rib 5 is integrally formed on the left side of the socket 4. A notch for the plug 1 to be stuck into is formed on both the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5.

[0030] Specifically, the notches formed on the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5 are in the same position. On both sides of the first limiting rib 7 formed by the notch, first rib side clamping platforms 8 are respectively formed. A first sticking gap for the plug 1 to be stuck into is formed between the two first rib side clamping platforms 8 on both sides. On both sides of the second limiting rib 5 formed by the notch, second rib side clamping platforms 6 are respectively formed. A second sticking gap for the plug 1 to be stuck into is formed between the two second rib side clamping platforms 6 on both sides. And, a fillet transition is made between the first rib side clamping platform 8 and the first limiting rib 7 on the same side, and between the second rib side clamping platform 6 and the second limiting rib 5 on the same side.

[0031] In this embodiment, a receiving gap for the side abutting block 3 to be inserted into is also formed between the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5. The right end of the receiving gap converges to the left end and is gradually smaller than the width of the plug 1. As the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5 gradually converge, an inclined anti-misalignment slope 10 is also formed on the socket 4.

[0032] Furthermore, a notch is formed in both the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5. An indicating arrow 9 is integrally formed on the end face of the socket 4 in the notch, and specifically points to the correct installation direction of the plug 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5 have the same height and the same length; the width of the first limiting rib 7 is greater than the width of the second limiting rib 5, and the height of the indicating arrow 9 is smaller than the heights of the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5.

[0034] When the utility model is in use, during the process of inserting the plug 1 into the socket 4, the plug 1 is placed through the notches formed in the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5, and the two body parts of the plug 1 are respectively clamped at the corresponding notch positions to fix the plug 1. Since the plug 1 is clamped in the notch, it cannot rotate after being fixed.

[0035] When the plug 1 is placed in the wrong direction, that is, corresponding to the accommodation gap position instead of the corresponding notch position, it is restricted by the accommodation gap formed between the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5. That is, the width of the accommodation gap does not allow the complete insertion of the plug 1 to prevent the plug 1 from being installed in the wrong direction.

[0036] And when the installation process cannot be visually observed, the correct installation direction of the plug 1 can be judged through the direction of the pointing arrow 9, the direction of the anti-misalignment inclined surface 10, and the converging direction of the first limiting rib 7 and the second limiting rib 5, and the plug 1 can be fixed after insertion.

[0037] In this embodiment, the socket 4 and the plug 1 form an anti-misalignment installation structure by the effect of restricting rotation by the notch and restricting the installation direction by the accommodation gap.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and it does not impose any form of limitation on the utility model. Although the utility model has been disclosed above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to it as equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes within the scope of the technical solution of the utility model. However, as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the utility model, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
