Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of electrical connectors, and particularly relates to an electrical connector and an electrical device using the same. Background Art
[0002] Currently, during the assembly process of an electrical connector, it is usually necessary to pre-assemble the end cap and the conductive member and then insert them into the housing of the electrical connector. The pre-assembled end cap and conductive member are inconvenient to transfer and handle, and the assembly difficulty of synchronously inserting the end cap and the conductive member into the housing of the electrical connector is also relatively large, which affects the assembly efficiency of the electrical connector. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] Utility Model Objective: The embodiments of this application provide an electrical connector, aiming to solve the above technical problems; another objective of the embodiments of this application is to provide an electrical device using the above electrical connector.
[0004] Technical Solution: An electrical connector described in the embodiments of this application includes:
[0005] A housing having an electrical connection cavity;
[0006] A conductive member, a part of which is disposed through the electrical connection cavity;
[0007] An end cap assembly including a first cap body and a second cap body that are detachably connected. The first cap body and the second cap body clamp the housing, and the first cap body and the second cap body clamp the conductive member.
[0008] Correspondingly, an electrical device described in the embodiments of this application includes the above electrical connector.
[0009] Advantageous Effects: The electrical connector of the embodiments of this application includes a housing, a conductive member, and an end cap assembly. The housing has an electrical connection cavity, and a part of the conductive member is disposed through the electrical connection cavity. The end cap assembly includes a first cap body and a second cap body that are detachably connected. The first cap body and the second cap body respectively clamp the housing and the conductive member. The split-type end cap assembly does not need to pre-connect the conductive member during the assembly process of the electrical connector. After a part of the conductive member is disposed through the electrical connection cavity, the first cap body and the second cap body are relatively connected, so that the first cap body and the second cap body respectively clamp the housing and the conductive member, thereby fixing the overall end cap assembly and forming a limit protection for the conductive member. Compared with the end cap assembly pre-connecting the conductive member and synchronously inserting it into the housing of the electrical connector, it avoids the additional process of pre-assembling the end cap assembly and the conductive member, and avoids synchronously transferring and handling the end cap assembly and the conductive member. The end cap assembly and the conductive member can be transferred independently, improving the part transfer efficiency, and reducing the assembly difficulty of the end cap assembly and the conductive member with the housing of the electrical connector, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency and the yield rate of the electrical connector.

Detailed implementation manners
[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0022] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "thickness", "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more, and at least one means one, two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0023] The electrical connector is mainly used to connect two active devices to achieve the transmission of current or signals, etc. During the assembly process of the electrical connector, it is usually necessary to pre-assemble the tail cover and the conductive member and then insert them into the housing of the electrical connector. The pre-assembled tail cover and conductive member not only increase the assembly process, but also make the overall transfer and handling of the tail cover and conductive member on the production line inconvenient.
[0024] In addition, the assembly difficulty of synchronously inserting the tail cover and the conductive member into the housing of the electrical connector is also relatively large. The resistance of the tail cover itself when inserted into the housing is large, and the tail cover and the conductive member are easily affected by each other, resulting in an increase in the overall assembly difficulty and affecting the assembly efficiency and yield rate of the electrical connector.
[0025] In view of this, in combination with Figures 1 to 9 , the embodiments of the present application provide an electrical connector, aiming to overcome at least one of the above technical problems.
[0026] Referring to Figures 1 to 9 , an electrical connector includes a housing 1, a conductive member 2, and a tail cover assembly 3.
[0027] Among them, the housing 1 has an electrical connection cavity 10, and a part of the conductive member 2 is inserted into the electrical connection cavity 10. The end cap assembly 3 includes a first cap body 30 and a second cap body 31 that are detachably connected. The first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31 clamp the housing 1, and the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31 clamp the conductive member 2.
[0028] It should be noted that the conductive member 2 can be a metal conductive bar or a wire, etc. In this embodiment, a metal conductive bar is taken as an example, and specifically, a copper bar or an aluminum bar can be used, etc. The material can be flexibly selected according to different usage scenarios. In other embodiments, it can also be set as other conductive structural members, which will not be elaborated here.
[0029] The split end cap assembly 3 does not need to pre-thread the conductive member 2 during the assembly process of the electrical connector. After a part of the conductive member 2 is inserted into the electrical connection cavity 10, the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31 are relatively connected, so that the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31 respectively clamp the housing 1 and the conductive member 2, thereby fixing the overall end cap assembly 3 and forming a limit protection for the conductive member 2. Compared with the end cap assembly 3 pre-threading the conductive member 2 and synchronously inserting it into the housing 1 of the electrical connector, it avoids the additional process of pre-assembling the end cap assembly 3 and the conductive member 2, and avoids the synchronous transfer and handling of the end cap assembly 3 and the conductive member 2. The end cap assembly 3 and the conductive member 2 can be independently transferred, improving the part transfer efficiency, reducing the assembly difficulty of the end cap assembly 3 and the conductive member 2 with the housing 1 of the electrical connector, and being beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency and the yield rate of the electrical connector.
[0030] Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31 are respectively slidably connected to the housing 1. The end cap assembly 3 further includes a lock group 32, and the lock group 32 connects the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31 to limit the separation of the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31.
[0031] By setting the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31 to be able to slide along the housing 1, that is, using the housing 1 as a structural member to guide and dock the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31, it is beneficial to quickly and accurately dock the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31. Compared with methods such as embedding the housing 1, etc., it reduces the assembly resistance of the overall end cap assembly 3. Cooperating with the lock group 32 to synchronously lock the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31 improves the assembly efficiency of the first cap body 30 and the second cap body 31.
[0032] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the description of the structural distribution and the understanding of the structural assembly principle in the embodiments of the present application, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z that intersect pairwise are introduced. In this embodiment, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z shown are perpendicular to each other. Among them, the first direction X is parallel to the extending direction of the conductive member 2, the second direction Y is parallel to the width direction of the conductive member 2, and the third direction Z is parallel to the thickness direction of the conductive member 2.
[0033] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the housing 1 has an opening 11 communicating with the electrical connection cavity 10. The first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 enclose a limiting channel 33. The limiting channel 33 communicates with the opening 11 in the first direction X, and a part of the conductive member 2 is inserted through the limiting channel 33 for the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 to clamp. The first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 are respectively slidably connected to the housing 1 in the second direction Y.
[0034] It can be understood that when the conductive member 2 is pre-inserted into the housing 1, a part of the conductive member 2 extends into the electrical connection cavity 10 through the opening 11. The conductive member 2 can be directly inserted into the housing 1 along the first direction X, while the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 slide relative to each other in the second direction Y, so as to complete the mutual docking and clamping of the housing 1 and the conductive member 2. The assembly operations of the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 and the assembly operation of the conductive member 2 are completed in two directions, reducing the assembly interference between the overall end cap assembly 3 and the conductive member 2, and being beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the end cap assembly 3 and the conductive member 2.
[0035] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 6 , the first cover body 30 includes a first connecting portion 300 and a first clamping portion 301 that are connected. The second cover body 31 includes a second connecting portion 310 and a second clamping portion 311 that are connected.
[0036] Among them, the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 are sleeved outside the housing 1 and clamp the housing 1, and the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 are sleeved outside the conductive member 2 and form a limiting channel 33 to clamp the conductive member 2.
[0037] In addition, in some embodiments, with reference to Figures 7 to 9 , the first cover body 30 further includes a first sealing portion 305. The first sealing portion 305 connects the first connecting portion 300 and the first clamping portion 301. The first sealing portion 305 fits the housing 1 in the first direction X and covers the opening 11.
[0038] The second cover body 31 further includes a second sealing portion 315. The second sealing portion 315 connects the second connecting portion 310 and the second clamping portion 311. The second sealing portion 315 fits against the housing 1 in the first direction X and covers the opening 11.
[0039] It can be understood that the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 form a sleeved structure surrounding the housing 1, serving as the connection structure between the end cap assembly 3 and the housing 1.
[0040] The first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 form a sleeved structure surrounding the conductive member 2, serving as the protective structure for the end cap assembly 3 to fix the conductive member 2.
[0041] The first sealing portion 305 and the second sealing portion 315 form a sealing structure for plugging the opening 11, serving as the sealing structure for the end cap assembly 3 to seal the opening 11.
[0042] The above-mentioned first connecting portion 300, first clamping portion 301, and first sealing portion 305 are respectively made of insulating materials, and can be integrally formed in this embodiment. Similarly, the above-mentioned second connecting portion 310, second clamping portion 311, and second sealing portion 315 are respectively made of insulating materials, and can be integrally formed in this embodiment.
[0043] In addition, in order to further improve the sealing effect at the opening 11, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the electrical connector further includes a seal 4. The seal 4 is also made of an elastic insulating material. The seal 4 is filled into the electrical connection cavity 10 from the opening 11. The seal 4 is provided with a through-opening 40 for the conductive member 2 to pass through corresponding to the conductive member 2, so as to synchronously form a positioning effect on the conductive member 2.
[0044] In addition, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 , there are multiple conductive members 2. The multiple conductive members 2 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z. Correspondingly, the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 are formed with multiple limiting channels 33, and the limiting channels 33 are arranged corresponding to the conductive members 2, and adjacent limiting channels 33 are spaced apart.
[0045] Specifically, that is, during the molding process of the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311, a multi-channel structure that can fit with each other can be formed. In this embodiment, two conductive members 2 and two limiting channels 33 are taken as examples.
[0046] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2, the conductive member 2 includes a body 20, an insulating sleeve 22 sleeved outside the body 20, and a docking portion 21 provided at the end of the body 20 in the first direction X. In fact, the body 20 and the docking portion 21 can be integrally formed. The docking portion 21 is used to extend into the electrical connection cavity 10 for electrical connection, so the insulating sleeve 22 does not need to cover the docking portion 21.
[0047] The conductive members 2 distributed along the third direction Z can reduce the space occupied by the conductive members 2 compared with being arranged side by side along the second direction Y, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the overall electrical connector, thereby reducing the space occupied by the electrical connector.
[0048] In addition, it should be noted that based on the distribution of the conductive members 2 along the third direction Z, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the smooth wiring of each conductive member 2 in the electrical connection cavity 10, as Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the adjacent bodies 20 can be appropriately displaced from each other along the second direction Y. At this time, it can be ensured that the docking portions 21 are displaced from each other in the third direction Z and there is no interference problem during the wiring process. In other embodiments, the adjacent bodies 20 do not need to be displaced along the second direction Y. At this time, it is only necessary that the corresponding docking portions 21 can be spaced apart in the second direction Y, which will not be elaborated here.
[0049] Hereinafter, how the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 in the end cover assembly 3 of the present application are locked to each other and how the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 are connected to the housing 1 will be introduced in detail.
[0050] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 , a locking group 32 is connected to the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310. The locking group 32 can lock the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 when the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 are docked, so as to provide a force for the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 to clamp the housing 1.
[0051] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 4 , a locking group 32 is connected to the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311. The locking group 32 can lock the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 when the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 are docked, so as to provide a force for the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 to clamp the conductive member 2.
[0052] To improve the docking stability of the overall first cover 30 and second cover 31 and ensure that the first cover 30 and second cover 31 can stably clamp the housing 1 and the conductive member 2, in this embodiment, an example is given where the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310, and the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 are all connected with a latch group 32. In other embodiments, considering the usage scenario of the electrical connector and that a single latch group 32 can provide sufficient docking stability for the first cover 30 and the second cover 31, the latch group 32 can also be connected only between the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 or between the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311, which will not be elaborated here.
[0053] To further improve the locking effect between the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 are connected with at least two latch groups 32, and latch groups 32 are provided on both opposite sides of the first connecting portion 300 in the third direction Z. In this embodiment, an example is given where the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 are locked by two latch groups 32. In other embodiments, the number of latch groups 32 can be flexibly increased according to needs.
[0054] The two latch groups 32 respectively correspond to the docking positions on both sides of the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 in the third direction Z, which is beneficial to evenly lock the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 and improve the stability of the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 sleeved on the outside of the housing 1.
[0055] Similarly, to further improve the locking effect between the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 are connected with at least two latch groups 32, and latch groups 32 are provided on both opposite sides of the first clamping portion 301 in the third direction Z. In this embodiment, an example is given where the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 are locked by two latch groups 32. In other embodiments, the number of latch groups 32 can be flexibly increased according to needs.
[0056] The two latch groups 32 respectively correspond to the docking positions on both sides of the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 in the third direction Z, which is beneficial to evenly lock the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 and improve the stability of the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 sleeved on the outside of the conductive member 2.
[0057] Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, the buckle group 32 includes a buckle member 320 and a lock block 321 for the buckle member 320 to latch onto. In combination with Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the cooperation mode between the buckle member 320 and the lock block 321 is as follows: when the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 slide relative to each other in the second direction Y to the docking state, the buckle member 320 can elastically hook the lock block 321 by itself, thereby restricting the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 from separating again.
[0058] To reduce the docking difficulty between the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310, and further improve the uniformity and stability of the latching effect when each buckle group 32 is used synchronously, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first connecting portion 300 has opposite first side 302 and second side 303 in the third direction Z. The buckle member 320 is provided on the first side 302, and the lock block 321 is provided on the second side 303. Correspondingly, the second connecting portion 310 is respectively provided with a lock block 321 and a buckle member 320 in the third direction Z, that is, the buckle members 320 in the two buckle groups 32 are respectively connected to the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310. That is, the first connecting portion 300 is only connected to one buckle member 320, and the other buckle member 320 is connected to the second connecting portion 310. When the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 are docked, the relative forces on the first connecting portion 300 and the second connecting portion 310 are uniform, improving the docking stability.
[0059] Similarly, to reduce the docking difficulty between the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311, and further improve the uniformity and stability of the latching effect when each buckle group 32 is used synchronously, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first clamping portion 301 has opposite third side 312 and fourth side 313 in the third direction Z. The buckle member 320 is provided on the third side 312, and the lock block 321 is provided on the fourth side 313. Correspondingly, the second clamping portion 311 is respectively provided with a lock block 321 and a buckle member 320 in the third direction Z, that is, the buckle members 320 in the two buckle groups 32 are respectively connected to the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311. That is, the first clamping portion 301 is only connected to one buckle member 320, and the other buckle member 320 is connected to the second clamping portion 311. When the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 are docked, the relative forces on the first clamping portion 301 and the second clamping portion 311 are uniform, improving the docking stability.
[0060] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9, the first cover body 30 further includes a first limiting portion 304. The first limiting portion 304 is connected to the first connecting portion 300. The first limiting portion 304 is slidably connected to the housing 1 along the second direction Y, and the housing 1 is configured to limit the first limiting portion 304 from moving along the first direction X. The first limiting portion 304 may be integrally formed with the first connecting portion 300.
[0061] The second cover body 31 further includes a second limiting portion 314. The second limiting portion 314 is connected to the second connecting portion 310. The second limiting portion 314 is slidably connected to the housing 1 along the second direction Y, and the housing 1 is configured to limit the second limiting portion 314 from moving along the first direction X. The second limiting portion 314 may also be integrally formed with the second connecting portion 310.
[0062] Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the first limiting portion 304 and the first sealing portion 305 are spaced apart in the first direction X. The housing 1 is provided with a convex portion 12. The first limiting portion 304 and the first sealing portion 305 clamp the convex portion 12, and the convex portion 12 is used to guide the first cover body 30 to slide along the second direction Y.
[0063] The second limiting portion 314 and the second sealing portion 315 are spaced apart in the first direction X. The second limiting portion 314 and the second sealing portion 315 clamp the convex portion 12, and the convex portion 12 is used to guide the second cover body 31 to slide along the second direction Y.
[0064] It can be understood that, in order to improve the docking stability between the housing 1 and the overall tail cover assembly 3, the housing 1 is provided with convex portions 12 on both opposite sides in the third direction Z. The first limiting portions 304 are respectively arranged on the opposite surfaces of the first connecting portion 300 in the third direction Z. The first limiting portion 304 and the first sealing portion 305 slide along the convex portion 12, and the cooperation structure between the first limiting portion 304 and the convex portion 12 is relied on to limit the overall first cover body 30 from disengaging from the housing 1 in the first direction X.
[0065] The second limiting portions 314 are respectively arranged on the opposite surfaces of the second connecting portion 310 in the third direction Z. The second limiting portion 314 and the second sealing portion 315 slide along the convex portion 12, and the cooperation structure between the second limiting portion 314 and the convex portion 12 is relied on to limit the overall second cover body 31 from disengaging from the housing 1 in the first direction X.
[0066] In addition, it can be understood that, in other embodiments, instead of providing the convex portion 12 on the housing 1, a groove may be provided. Correspondingly, by embedding the first limiting portion 304 and the second limiting portion 314 into the groove and sliding, the sliding of the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 and the limitation of the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 31 from disengaging from the housing 1 in the first direction X can be achieved simultaneously, which will not be elaborated here.
[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first cover 30 further includes a first engaging portion 306, and the second cover 31 further includes a second engaging portion 316. The first engaging portion 306 engages with the second engaging portion 316 to limit the relative movement of the first cover 30 and the second cover 31 in the third direction Z.
[0068] Specifically, the first engaging portion 306 is a continuous rib structure provided on the first connecting portion 300, the first sealing portion 305, and the first clamping portion 301, and the first engaging portion 306 faces the second cover 31. The second engaging portion 316 is a continuous rib structure provided on the second connecting portion 310, the second sealing portion 315, and the second clamping portion 311, and the second engaging portion 316 faces the first cover 30 and is misaligned with the first engaging tooth. After the first cover 30 and the second cover 31 are integrally butted, the first engaging portion 306 and the second engaging portion 316 are misaligned and engaged, which limits the relative movement of the first cover 30 and the second cover 31 in the third direction Z while ensuring sealing, and is beneficial to further improving the docking stability of the first cover 30 and the second cover 31.

The electrical device can be an electronic device, a power storage device, a power vehicle, etc. It can be understood that the electrical device can have all the technical features and corresponding beneficial effects of the above-mentioned electrical connector, which will not be elaborated here.
