The contacts must be able to ensure electrical continuity under variable temperature conditions up to 200°C (and the resulting thermal expansion) and very strong vibration conditions (typical of internal combustion engines). For this purpose, Faist created a contact through a suitably shaped fork structure to produce elastic compression on the coupled terminal, thus ensuring the contact. However, under high-temperature and vibration conditions, the contact between the lead frame pins of the actuator and the power supply terminals of the motor is often unstable.

Detailed implementation manners
[0025] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present utility model and be able to implement it, but the embodiments cited are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0026] Referring to Figures 1-3 As shown, the guiding and limiting structure of the lead frame of the electronic actuator of the present utility model includes three parts: an upper cover 1, a limiting element 2, and a pin 3; for the upper cover 1, a first convex part 11 is provided thereon; for the limiting element 2, it is arranged within the first convex part 11; for the pin 3, the end for plugging into the power supply terminal is located within the limiting element 2, and the limiting element 2 is used for positioning the pin 3. The limiting element 2 is made of rubber or silica gel. By providing the limiting element 2, the pin 3 can be limited within the first convex part 11, thereby ensuring the stability of the pin 3. And when the pin 3 and the plugging power supply terminal are plugged together, through the limiting element 2 being pressed between the connectors, a sealing effect is achieved.
[0027] Referring to Figures 2-5As shown in the figure, the limiting element 2 includes a mounting body 21, a limiting plate 22 and a second convex part 23. One end of the mounting body 21 is arranged in the first convex part 11. The limiting plate 22 is arranged at the end of the mounting body 21 extending out of the first convex part 11, and the limiting plate 22 is connected to the first convex part 11. The second convex part 23 is arranged on the end face of the limiting plate 22 away from the mounting body 21. The pin 3 penetrates through the mounting body 21 and the limiting plate 22, and the end of the pin 3 extends into the second convex part 23. After the pin 3 is inserted into the plug-in power terminal, the outer side wall of the pin 3 contacts the inner wall of the mounting body 21. The mounting body 21 and the second convex part 23 are respectively arranged on two opposite end faces of the limiting plate 22. When the mounting body 21 is arranged in the first convex part 11, the limiting plate 22 just contacts the end face of the first convex part 11.
[0028] In the above structure, a welding convex part 221 is arranged on the end face of the limiting plate 22 opposite to the first convex part 11, and the welding convex part 221 and the end face of the first convex part 11 are ultrasonically welded. By arranging the welding convex part 221, the welding stability between the limiting plate 22 and the first convex part 11 can be increased.
[0029] In the above structure, the first convex part 11 is a rectangular body, and a first groove 111 is arranged at the center of the first convex part 11. The first groove 111 is a rectangular groove, and the mounting body 21 is arranged in the first groove 111.
[0030] In the above structure, convex ribs 112 are arranged on three of the inner walls of the first groove 111. The convex ribs 112 are arranged in an arched shape, and the convex ribs 112 extend from the bottom surface of the first groove 111 to the top surface of the first groove 111. The mounting body 21 is a rectangular body, and arc-shaped grooves 211 are arranged on three of the outer side walls of the mounting body 21. The arc-shaped grooves 211 and the convex ribs 112 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the convex ribs 112 are arranged in the arc-shaped grooves 211. By arranging the structure of the convex ribs 112 and the arc-shaped grooves 211, when installing the limiting element 2, the three convex ribs 112 can be aligned with the three arc-shaped grooves 211, so that the installation position can be found, and thus the installation between the limiting element 2 and the first convex part 11 can be quickly realized, avoiding misinstallation.
[0031] In the above structure, chamfered corners are arranged at the four corner positions of the mounting body 21. And arc-shaped surfaces are used for transition at the transition positions between the convex ribs 112 and the mounting body 21.
[0032] In the above structure, a through hole one 212 is provided among the mounting body 21, the limiting plate 22 and the second convex part 23, and the pin 3 is located in the through hole one 212. A through hole two 213 is provided among the mounting body 21, the limiting plate 22 and the second convex part 23, and the through hole two 213 is used to avoid interfering with the inserted power terminal. The through hole one 212 and the through hole two 213 are arranged in a cross shape. Both the through hole one 212 and the through hole two 213 are rectangular holes, the pins 3 are two symmetrically arranged ones, and the two pins 3 are respectively located on both sides of the center point of the through hole one 212. The inserted power terminal is inserted between the two pins 3, and the edge of the inserted power terminal is located in the through hole two 213, so as to avoid interference. The second convex part 23 is arranged along the cross-shaped outer shape presented by the through hole one 212 and the through hole two 213, so the outer shape of the second convex part 23 is also in the shape of a "plus" sign.
[0033] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present utility model.
