Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of connectors, and more particularly, to a female terminal, a female connector, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, a split structure design is adopted between the spring piece and the housing of the female terminal in the vehicle wire harness connector, so that the spring piece needs to be fixed to the housing to assemble the female terminal. However, the method of combining and welding two sub-components to form the female terminal increases the production steps of the female terminal, and it is easy to have alignment deviation during the assembly process, resulting in defective products, thus reducing the production efficiency of the female terminal and increasing the cost of producing the female terminal. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Embodiments of this application provide a female terminal, a female connector, and a vehicle to solve or improve the technical problems of reduced production efficiency and high production cost caused by complicated production steps during the production of the female terminal.

[0004] A female terminal according to an embodiment of this application includes a mating portion and a wiring portion integrally formed. The mating portion is adapted to connect to a male terminal, and the wiring portion is adapted to connect to a wire harness. The mating portion includes a housing and a spring piece integrally formed. The housing is connected to the wiring portion. The housing is provided with a receiving space, and the spring piece is located in the receiving space.

[0005] In this way, by adopting an integrally formed manufacturing process to produce the mating portion and the wiring portion of the female terminal, as well as the housing and the spring piece in the mating portion, during the production of the female terminal, there is no need to weld and assemble each structure in the female terminal, thus reducing the production steps of the female terminal, improving the production efficiency of the female terminal, and reducing the cost of producing the female terminal.

[0006] In some embodiments, the spring piece includes a first spring piece and a second spring piece. The first spring piece and the second spring piece are connected to the side wall of the receiving space, and the first spring piece and the second spring piece are spaced relative to each other.

[0007] In this way, by providing the first spring piece and the second spring piece spaced relative to each other on the side wall of the receiving space, it can serve as the contact surface for connecting the male terminal and the female terminal, and can provide a certain holding force after the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal, preventing the male terminal from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force, thus ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first spring piece includes a first connecting section and a first clamping section. The first connecting section connects the first clamping section and a side wall of the accommodating space along a first direction. The second spring piece includes a second connecting section and a second clamping section. The second connecting section connects the second clamping section and a side wall of the accommodating space along a second direction. Both the first spring piece and the second spring piece extend in the accommodating space along a third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0009] Thus, by extending the first spring piece and the second spring piece in the accommodating space along the third direction, the contact area between the first spring piece and the second spring piece and the male terminal can be increased, thereby ensuring the connection between the male terminal and the female terminal.

[0010] In some embodiments, a plurality of first contact points are formed on the first clamping section, and a plurality of second contact points are formed on the second clamping section. The first contact points and the second contact points are adapted to abut against the male terminal so that the female terminal is connected to the male terminal.

[0011] Thus, by providing a plurality of contact points on the first spring piece and the second spring piece, when the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal, the first spring piece and the second spring piece will be deformed under pressure so that the contact points contact the male terminal, thereby realizing the transmission of current or the transfer of signals between the male terminal and the female terminal.

[0012] In some embodiments, a first protrusion is formed on the housing. The first protrusion is provided on a side wall of the accommodating space along the second direction, and the first protrusion abuts against the first clamping section.

[0013] Thus, by forming the first protrusion on the side wall of the accommodating space to abut against the first clamping section of the first spring piece, the stability of the first spring piece can be maintained when the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal and abuts against the first spring piece.

[0014] In some embodiments, the housing includes a second protrusion and a third protrusion. The second protrusion is provided on a side wall of the accommodating space along the second direction, and the third protrusion is provided on another side wall of the accommodating space along the second direction. The second protrusion is adapted to abut against the first clamping section, and the third protrusion is adapted to abut against the second clamping section.

[0015] Thus, by forming the second protrusion on the side wall of the accommodating space, the first spring piece can be supported in the case of abnormal insertion of the male terminal into the female terminal to prevent the first spring piece from being over-pressed and causing yielding; by forming the second protrusion on the bottom wall of the accommodating space, the second spring piece can be supported in the case of abnormal insertion of the male terminal into the female terminal to prevent the second spring piece from being over-pressed and causing yielding.

[0016] In some embodiments, the housing further includes a first locking platform and a second locking platform. The first locking platform protrudes from the outer side of the housing and has a first end face. The second locking platform is disposed at the port of the accommodating space near the wiring portion and has a second end face. The first end face and the second end face are adapted to abut against the sheath to fix the female terminal.

[0017] In this way, by providing the first locking platform on the housing, the female terminal can be clamped and fixed to the sheath, preventing the female terminal from detaching from the sheath under the action of external force. By providing the second locking platform on the housing, the female terminal can be further clamped and fixed to the sheath, further preventing the female terminal from detaching from the sheath under the action of external force.

[0018] In some embodiments, the female terminal includes a latching portion. The latching portion is connected to the housing through the first locking platform. The housing is provided with a limiting groove, and the latching portion is accommodated in the limiting groove. The latching portion is adapted to abut against the side wall of the limiting groove when the first locking platform abuts against the sheath.

[0019] In this way, by providing the latching portion connected to the first locking platform in the limiting groove of the housing, it is possible to avoid the situation where the first locking platform is excessively deformed when the sheath is engaged with the first locking platform, resulting in the detachment of the sheath from the female terminal.

[0020] In some embodiments, the wiring portion includes a conductor rivet claw and an insulating rivet claw. The conductor rivet claw connects the insulating rivet claw and the mating portion.

[0021] In this way, by providing the conductor rivet claw and the insulating rivet claw in the wiring portion, the conductive wire and the insulating wire skin of the wire harness can be respectively connected to the female terminal, so that the wire harness can transmit current or signals to the female terminal.

[0022] In some embodiments, the wiring portion includes a main body portion. The main body portion is connected to the mating portion. The conductor rivet claw includes a first conductor rivet claw and a second conductor rivet claw. The first conductor rivet claw and the second conductor rivet claw are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main body portion along the central axis of the female terminal, and / or the insulating rivet claw includes a first insulating rivet claw and a second insulating rivet claw. The first insulating rivet claw and the second insulating rivet claw are staggered on both sides of the main body portion along the central axis of the female terminal.

[0023] In this way, by symmetrically arranging the first conductor rivet claw and the second conductor rivet claw on both sides of the main body portion, the connection of the conductive wire of the wire harness can be made more stable. By staggeredly arranging the first insulating rivet claw and the second insulating rivet claw on both sides of the main body portion, the connection of the insulating skin of the wire harness can be made more stable.

[0024] A female terminal connector according to an embodiment of the present application includes a female terminal and a sheath as described in any of the above embodiments, and the sheath sleeves at least a part of the female terminal.

[0025] In this way, by sleeving the sheath on the female terminal, it is possible to prevent the female terminal from being damaged by external forces and play a role in protecting the female terminal.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a female terminal 10 of an embodiment of the present application includes an integrally formed mating portion 11 and a wiring portion 12. The mating portion 11 is adapted to connect to a male terminal, and the wiring portion 12 is adapted to connect to a wire harness 300. The mating portion 11 includes an integrally formed housing 111 and a spring piece 112. The housing 111 is connected to the wiring portion 12, and the housing 111 is provided with a receiving space 113. The spring piece 112 is located in the receiving space 113.

[0043] Thus, by adopting an integrally formed manufacturing process to produce the mating portion 11 and the wiring portion 12 of the female terminal 10, as well as the housing 111 and the spring piece 112 in the mating portion 11, during the production process of the female terminal 10, there is no need to weld and assemble each structure in the female terminal 10, thereby reducing the production steps of the female terminal 10, improving the production efficiency of the female terminal 10 and reducing the cost of producing the female terminal 10.

[0044] Among them, the vehicle 1000 includes a wire harness 300, which can be used to transmit current or signals, thus serving as a bridge for communication connection among various components of the vehicle 1000. The connector includes a female connector 100 and a male connector 200. The female connector 100 and the male connector 200 are respectively connected to different wire harnesses 300. By connecting the male connector 200 and the female connector 100, signal exchange between different wire harnesses 300 can be achieved. Therefore, the female connector 100 and the male connector 200 can serve as a bridge for connecting different components, circuits or modules and can be easily disassembled when a component fails.

[0045] Specifically, the female connector 100 includes female terminals 10, which can be used to connect to the male terminals included in the male connector 200. Among them, the female terminal 10 includes a mating portion 11 and a wiring portion 12, and the mating portion 11 and the wiring portion 12 can form the female terminal 10 through an integrally formed manufacturing method. For example, by putting a conductive material into a mold for producing the female terminal 10, and then through stamping by a stamping machine, the mating portion 11 and the wiring portion 12 can be formed. It should be noted that the material of the female terminal 10 can be made of conductive materials such as copper or copper alloy. The wiring portion 12 can be used to connect the wire harness 300, so as to transmit current or signals to the female terminal 10.

[0046] The mating portion 11 can be used to cooperate with the insertion of the male terminal, so that the male terminal is connected to the female terminal 10. Among them, the mating portion 11 includes a housing 111 and a spring piece 112, and the housing 111 and the spring piece 112 can form the female terminal 10 through an integrally formed manufacturing method. For example, by injecting molten conductive material into a mold for producing the female terminal 10 under high pressure, and then cooling and solidifying, the housing 111 and the spring piece 112 can be formed. The housing 111 can be a boxed structure, so that the housing 111 forms a receiving space 113. Among them, the receiving space 113 can be used to accommodate the spring piece 112. The shape of the spring piece 112 can be a wavy structure, and the spring piece 112 can be used to contact the male terminal, so that the male terminal can be connected to the female terminal 10.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the spring piece 112 includes a first spring piece 1121 and a second spring piece 1122. The first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 are connected to the side wall of the receiving space 113, and the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 are spaced relatively.

[0048] Thus, by providing the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 spaced apart from each other on the side wall of the accommodation space 113, it can serve as the contact surface for the male terminal to connect with the female terminal 10, and can provide a certain holding force after the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal 10, preventing the male terminal from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0049] Specifically, the spring piece 112 includes a first spring piece 1121 and a second spring piece 1122. Both the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 are made of conductive materials, so as to be able to conduct current or signals. Among them, the first spring piece 1121 is provided on the side wall of the accommodation space 113, that is, in the axial direction of the female terminal 10, the first spring piece 1121 can be connected to the left side wall of the housing 111; the second spring piece 1122 is provided on the other side wall of the accommodation space 113, that is, the second spring piece 1122 can be provided on the bottom wall of the housing 111. The first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 can be spaced apart from each other, so that the male terminal can be inserted into the space formed between the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the first spring piece 1121 includes a first connection section 11211 and a first clamping section 11212. The first connection section 11211 connects the first clamping section 11212 and one side wall of the accommodation space 113 along the first direction. The second spring piece 1122 includes a second connection section 11221 and a second clamping section 11222. The second connection section 11221 connects the second clamping section 11222 and one side wall of the accommodation space 113 along the second direction. Both the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 extend in the accommodation space 113 along the third direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0051] Thus, by extending the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 in the accommodation space 113 along the third direction, the contact area between the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 and the male terminal can be increased, thereby ensuring the connection between the male terminal and the female terminal 10.

[0052] Specifically, the first spring piece 1121 includes a first connection section 11211 and a first clamping section 11212. Among them, the shape of the first connection section 11211 is arc-shaped, and the two ends of the first connection section 11211 are respectively connected to the first clamping section 11212 and the side wall of the accommodation space 113 along the first direction, so that the first clamping section 11212 can be connected to the side wall of the housing 111, where the first direction is the left-right direction perpendicular to the axis direction of the female terminal 10. And the first clamping section 11212 can extend in the accommodation space 113 along the third direction, where the third direction can be the axis direction of the female terminal 10, so as to increase the volume of the first clamping section 11212.

[0053] The first clamping section 11212 can cooperate with the second clamping section 11222 when the male terminal is inserted into the accommodation space 113 to clamp the male terminal, so that the female terminal 10 can be connected to the male terminal.

[0054] The shape of the second connection section 11221 is arc-shaped, and the two ends of the second connection section 11221 are respectively connected to the second clamping section 11222 and the side wall of the accommodation space 113 along the second direction, so that the second clamping section 11222 can be connected to the bottom wall of the housing 111, where the second direction is the up-down direction perpendicular to the axis direction of the female terminal 10. And the second clamping section 11222 can extend in the accommodation space 113 along the third direction, so as to increase the volume of the second clamping section 11222. It should be noted that the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0055] The second clamping section 11222 can cooperate with the first clamping section 11212 when the male terminal is inserted into the accommodation space 113 to clamp the male terminal, so that the female terminal 10 can be connected to the male terminal.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, a plurality of first contacts 11213 are formed on the first clamping section 11212, a plurality of second contacts 11223 are formed on the second clamping section 11222, and the first contacts 11213 and the second contacts 11223 are adapted to abut against the male terminal to connect the female terminal 10 to the male terminal.

[0057] In this way, by providing a plurality of contacts on the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122, when the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal 10, the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 will be deformed under pressure, so that the contacts contact the male terminal, thereby realizing the transmission of current or the transfer of signals between the male terminal and the female terminal 10.

[0058] Specifically, the shape of the first clamping section 11212 can be wavy, so that the wavy first clamping section 11212 can form a plurality of first contact points 11213. For example, the number of the first contact points 11213 can be 2, 3, etc. Each first contact point 11213 can protrude from the first clamping section 11212 in the second direction close to the second clamping section 11222, so that the first contact point 11213 can abut against the male terminal when the male terminal is inserted into the accommodation space 113, so that the male terminal can be connected to the female terminal 10.

[0059] The shape of the second clamping section 11222 can be wavy, so that the wavy second clamping section 11222 can form a plurality of second contact points 11223. For example, the number of the second contact points 11223 can be 2, 3, etc. Each second contact point 11223 can protrude from the second clamping section 11222 in the second direction close to the first clamping section 11212, so that the first contact point 11213 can abut against the male terminal when the male terminal is inserted into the accommodation space 113, so that the male terminal can be connected to the female terminal 10.

[0060] Each first contact point 11213 can be disposed opposite to a second contact point 11223, so that each first contact point 11213 can cooperate with the second contact point 11223 to clamp the male terminal.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, a first protrusion 1111 is formed on the housing 111. The first protrusion 1111 is disposed on a side wall of the accommodation space 113 along the second direction, and the first protrusion 1111 abuts against the first clamping section 11212.

[0062] In this way, by forming the first protrusion 1111 on the side wall of the accommodation space 113 to abut against the first clamping section 11212 of the first spring piece 1121, the stability of the first spring piece 1121 can be maintained when the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal 10 and abuts against the first spring piece 1121.

[0063] Specifically, a first protrusion 1111 is further formed on the top wall of the housing 111. The first protrusion 1111 is disposed on the top wall of the housing 111, and the first protrusion 1111 can extend in the second direction close to the first clamping section 11212 to protrude from the top wall of the accommodation space 113. And the first protrusion 1111 can abut against a portion of the first clamping section 11212 close to the first connection section 11211, so that the first protrusion 1111 can provide support for the first spring piece 1121 when the male terminal is inserted.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the housing 111 includes a second protrusion 1112 and a third protrusion 1113. The second protrusion 1112 is disposed on one sidewall of the accommodation space 113 along the second direction, and the third protrusion 1113 is disposed on the other sidewall of the accommodation space 113 along the second direction. The second protrusion 1112 is adapted to abut against the first clamping section 11212, and the third protrusion 1113 is adapted to abut against the second clamping section 11222.

[0065] Thus, by forming the second protrusion 1112 on the sidewall of the accommodation space 113, the first spring piece 1121 can be supported in the case of abnormal insertion of the male terminal into the female terminal 10, so as to prevent the first spring piece 1121 from being over-pressed and yielding; by forming the second protrusion 1112 on the bottom wall of the accommodation space 113, the second spring piece 1122 can be supported in the case of abnormal insertion of the male terminal into the female terminal 10, so as to prevent the second spring piece 1122 from being over-pressed and yielding.

[0066] Specifically, the housing 111 further includes a second protrusion 1112 and a third protrusion 1113. The second protrusion 1112 and the third protrusion 1113 can play a role in over-pressure protection for the first spring piece 1121 and the second spring piece 1122 in the case of abnormal insertion of the male terminal into the female terminal 10. Among them, the second protrusion 1112 is disposed on the top wall of the housing 111, and the second protrusion 1112 can extend towards the first clamping section 11212 in the second direction to protrude from the top wall of the accommodation space 113. And in the case of abnormal insertion of the male terminal, the second protrusion 1112 can abut against the portion of the first clamping section 11212 close to the first contact 11213, so that the second protrusion 1112 can provide support to the first clamping section 11212.

[0067] The third protrusion 1113 is disposed on the bottom wall of the housing 111, and the third protrusion 1113 can extend towards the second clamping section 11222 in the second direction to protrude from the bottom wall of the accommodation space 113. And in the case of abnormal insertion of the male terminal, the third protrusion 1113 can abut against the portion of the second clamping section 11222 close to the second contact 11223, so that the third protrusion 1113 can provide support to the second clamping section 11222.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the housing 111 further includes a first locking platform 1114 and a second locking platform 1116. The first locking platform 1114 protrudes from the outside of the housing 111 and forms a first end face 1115. The first end face 1115 communicates with the accommodation space 113. The second locking platform 1116 is disposed at the port of the accommodation space 113 close to the wiring portion 12 and forms a second end face 1117. The first end face 1115 and the second end face 1117 are adapted to abut against the sheath 20 to fix the female terminal 10.

[0069] In this way, by providing the first locking platform 1114 on the housing 111, the female terminal 10 can be snap-fitted and fixed to the sheath 20, preventing the female terminal 10 from detaching from the sheath 20 under the action of external force; by providing the second locking platform 1116 on the housing 111, the female terminal 10 can be further snap-fitted and fixed to the sheath 20, further preventing the female terminal 10 from detaching from the sheath 20 under the action of external force.

[0070] Specifically, the first locking platform 1114 and the second locking platform 1116 are also formed on the housing 111. The first locking platform 1114 and the second locking platform 1116 can be used to fix the female terminal 10 within the sheath 20 included in the female terminal connector 100. Among them, the first locking platform 1114 can protrude outside the housing 111 in the second direction, and the first locking platform 1114 can form a first end face 1115, so that the first buckle head (not shown in the drawing) provided on the sheath 20 can abut against the first end face 1115, enabling the first locking platform 1114 to abut against the first buckle head, and fixing the female terminal 10 to the sheath 20.

[0071] The second locking platform 1116 is provided at the port of the accommodation space 113 close to the wiring part 12, and the second locking platform 1116 forms a second end face 1117, so that the second buckle head (not shown in the drawing) provided on the sheath 20 can abut against the second end face 1117, enabling the second locking platform 1116 to abut against the second buckle head, and fixing the female terminal 10 to the sheath 20.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the female terminal 10 includes a buckling part 13. The buckling part 13 is connected to the housing 111 through the first locking platform 1114. The housing 111 is provided with a limiting groove 1118. The buckling part 13 is accommodated in the limiting groove 1118. The buckling part 13 is adapted to abut against the side wall of the limiting groove 1118 when the first locking platform 1114 abuts against the sheath 20.

[0073] In this way, by providing the buckling part 13 connected to the first locking platform 1114 in the limiting groove 1118 of the housing 111, it is possible to avoid the situation where the first locking platform 1114 is excessively deformed when the sheath 20 is snap-fitted with the first locking platform 1114, resulting in the detachment of the sheath 20 from the female terminal 10.

[0074] Specifically, the female terminal 10 further includes a buckling portion 13, and the buckling portion 13 can be used to fix the first locking platform 1114. Wherein, one end of the buckling portion 13 can extend into the limiting groove 1118 formed in the right side wall of the housing 111, and the other end of the buckling portion 13 can be connected to the first locking platform 1114. Thus, when the first buckle head on the sheath 20 abuts against the first end face 1115 of the first locking platform 1114, the first locking platform 1114 can receive a first radial force away from the housing 111 along the second direction generated by the first buckle head. At this time, the buckling portion 13 abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 1118 and can generate a second radial force close to the housing 111 along the second direction, and transmit the second radial force to the first locking platform 1114. Thus, when the first radial force and the second radial force cancel each other out, the stability of the first locking platform 1114 can be maintained.

[0076] In this way, by providing the conductor riveting claw 121 and the insulating riveting claw 122 in the wiring portion 12, the conductive wire and the insulating wire sheath of the wire harness 300 can be respectively connected to the female terminal 10, so that the wire harness 300 can transmit current or signals to the female terminal 10.

[0077] Specifically, the wiring portion 12 is further provided with a conductor riveting claw 121 and an insulating riveting claw 122. The conductor riveting claw 121 can be used to rivet the conductive wire included in the wire harness 300, and the insulating riveting claw 122 can be used to rivet the insulating wire sheath of the wire harness 300. Wherein, one end of the conductor riveting claw 121 can be used to connect the insulating riveting claw 122, and the other end of the conductor riveting claw 121 can be used to connect the mating portion 11, so that the mating portion 11 can be connected to the wiring portion 12.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the wiring portion 12 includes a main body portion 123. The main body portion 123 is connected to the mating portion 11. The conductor riveting claw 121 includes a first conductor riveting claw 1211 and a second conductor riveting claw 1212. The first conductor riveting claw 1211 and the second conductor riveting claw 1212 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main body portion 123 along the central axis of the female terminal 10, and / or the insulating riveting claw 122 includes a first insulating riveting claw 1221 and a second insulating riveting claw 1222. The first insulating riveting claw 1221 and the second insulating riveting claw 1222 are staggered on both sides of the main body portion 123 along the central axis of the female terminal 10.

[0079] In this way, by symmetrically arranging the first conductor riveting claws 1211 and the second conductor riveting claws 1212 on both sides of the main body portion 123, the connection of the conductive wires of the wire harness 300 can be made more stable; by staggeredly arranging the first insulating riveting claws 1221 and the second insulating riveting claws 1222 on both sides of the main body portion 123, the connection of the insulating skin of the wire harness 300 can be made more stable.

[0080] Specifically, the wiring portion 12 further includes a main body portion 123, and the main body portion 123 can be used to connect the mating portion 11 and can be used to support the conductor riveting claws 121 and the insulating riveting claws 122. Among them, the conductor riveting claws 121 include a first conductor riveting claw 1211 and a second conductor riveting claw 1212, and the first conductor riveting claw 1211 and the second conductor riveting claw 1212 can be symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main body portion 123 along the central axis of the female terminal 10, so that the conductive wires included in the wire harness 300 can be riveted between the first conductor riveting claw 1211 and the second conductor riveting claw 1212. The insulating riveting claws 122 include a first insulating riveting claw 1221 and a second insulating riveting claw 1222, and the first insulating riveting claw 1221 and the second insulating riveting claw 1222 can be staggeredly distributed on both sides of the main body portion 123 along the central axis of the female terminal 10, so that the insulating skin included in the wire harness 300 can be riveted on the first insulating riveting claw 1221 and the second insulating riveting claw 1222.
