[0030] The present utility model discloses a plug and a high-current connector. Among them, the high-current connector includes the plug and a socket adapted to the plug.
[0031] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the plug includes a pin 1, a pin mounting member for mounting the pin, and a plug housing for fixing and protecting the pin mounting member. Among them, the plug is bent, that is, the pin includes a first pin segment and a second pin segment that are sequentially connected to form an "L" shape. Correspondingly, for the convenience of assembly, the pin mounting member includes a first mounting member and a second mounting member 23. The first mounting member includes a first mounting cylinder 21 for mounting the first pin segment and a second mounting cylinder 22 that are interconnected and used for mounting the second pin segment. One side of the second mounting cylinder 22 corresponding to the first mounting cylinder 21 and one end corresponding to the wiring end of the second pin segment are both open structures. The second mounting member is wrapped around the open structure on the side of the second mounting cylinder 22 corresponding to the first mounting cylinder 21 to abut against the second pin segment. With the structure of this pin mounting member, referring to Figure 3 shown, during installation, the pin can be directly inserted into the open structure on the side of the second mounting cylinder 22 corresponding to the first mounting cylinder 21 and then the second mounting member can be installed. At the same time, the plug housing includes a first housing 31 and a second housing 32. The second housing is detachably and sealingly connected to the first housing and together with the first housing forms at least one positioning cavity for mounting the pin mounting member. First wire outlet holes 311 and second wire outlet holes 322 are respectively provided at positions corresponding to the first pin segment and the second pin segment on the positioning cavity. An insertion port 312 for pushing the pin mounting member is provided at the connection between the first housing 31 and the second housing 32. During installation, the pin mounting member can be directly pushed into the positioning cavity through the insertion port and then the second housing can be fixed.
[0032] The plug structure adopting the above structure is simple in structure and easy to assemble.
[0033] The number of positioning cavities on the plug housing is determined according to the number of pins, which can be one or greater than or equal to 2. When the number of positioning cavities is greater than or equal to 2, in order to improve the sealing performance, the positioning cavities should be in an isolated state.
[0034] Based on the above principle, there are many implementation methods for the plug housing. In order to improve the sealing performance at the plug end, a first flange 33 is provided around the insertion port 312 of the first housing 31, and a sealing groove 331 for fixing a sealing ring 34 is provided along the periphery of the insertion port 312 on the first flange 33; a second flange 321 connected to the first flange 33 is provided on the second housing 32.
[0035] The structures of the first housing and the second housing can be implemented in a variety of structures. Exemplarily, referring toFigure 6 , the second housing 32 is triangular, that is, the first housing and the second housing respectively form half of the positioning cavity for installing the second mounting member 23. At this time, the second wire outlet hole 322 is provided on the second housing 32. The second housing 32 can also be plate-shaped, that is, it is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the second pin segment and perpendicular to the first pin segment. At this time, the second wire outlet hole 322 is provided on the first housing. For the convenience of setting the first flange 33 and the second flange 321, the first structure is preferably adopted.
[0036] To improve the plugging stability of the plug, referring to Figure 2 , 7 , a first convex structure 3111 that abuts against the second mounting cylinder 22 is provided on the inner wall of the first wire outlet hole 311. A circular mounting groove 212 is provided on the first mounting cylinder 21 outside the first convex structure 3111, and a snap ring 35 that abuts against the outer end face of the first wire outlet hole 311 is installed in the mounting groove. The first convex structure 3111, the second mounting cylinder 22, and the snap ring 35 cooperate to achieve axial limit, further improving the plugging performance.
[0037] To improve the plugging stability of the plug, a limiting groove 3112 is provided on the first convex structure 3111, and a second convex structure 211 that matches the limiting groove 3112 is provided on the first mounting cylinder 21. The limiting groove and the second convex structure 211 cooperate to achieve radial limit, further improving the plugging performance.
[0038] A third convex structure 231 for abutting against the second pin segment is provided on the second mounting member 23. A groove is provided on one side of the third convex structure 231 facing the second housing 32, and a fourth convex structure 323 that is snapped into the groove is provided at the corresponding position of the second housing 32. The setting of the third convex structure 231, while achieving abutment with the second pin segment and improving the plugging stability, increases the design depth of the groove and improves the axial limiting effect of the fourth convex structure 323 on the second mounting member 23.
[0039] To improve the fixing stability of the plug and the socket, a third flange 313 for connecting with the socket is provided on the first housing 31.
[0040] The socket can be implemented in a variety of structures, as long as it is adapted to the plug of any of the above structures.
[0041] Exemplarily, such as Figures 8 to 10As shown in the figure, a socket includes a socket housing 4, a jack mounting member 5, a jack 6, and a gear sleeve 7. Among them, a positioning through-hole 41 corresponding to the positioning cavity is provided on the socket housing 4, and a stepped structure 42 is provided in the positioning through-hole 41; the jack mounting member is cylindrical, and a fifth protrusion structure 51 for connecting with the stepped structure 42 is circumferentially provided on the outer wall of the jack mounting member, and a limiting protrusion 52 is provided on the inner wall; the jack 6 is used for plugging with the pin 1, and a sixth protrusion structure 61 and a gear sleeve mounting groove are respectively provided on both sides of the limiting protrusion 52 on the jack 6; the gear sleeve 7 is arranged in the gear sleeve mounting groove.
[0042] For the socket with the above structure, the number of positioning through-holes is the same as the number of pins at the plug end. When the number of positioning through-holes is greater than or equal to 2, each positioning through-hole is isolated from each other.
[0043] A fourth flange 45 is provided at the position corresponding to the third flange 313 on the socket housing 4 to realize the fixation of the socket and the plug.
[0044] In order to enhance the structural stability of the socket, a reinforcing rib can be provided between the positioning through-holes 41.
[0045] In order to further realize the sealing performance of the plug and socket connection, an insertion end adapted to the first wire outlet hole 311 is provided on the socket housing 4, and a first sealing groove 44 for fixing the second sealing ring 43 is provided between the insertion end and the inner wall of the first wire outlet hole 311.
[0046] The socket with the above structure is also simple in structure and easy to install.
[0047] During assembly, as Figure 9 described, first place the jack 6 into the jack mounting member 5. After the sixth protrusion structure 61 abuts against the limiting protrusion 52, install the gear sleeve 7 to realize the assembly of the jack mounting member 5 and the jack 6; then place the jack mounting member 5 into the socket housing 4 from above, so that the fifth protrusion structure 51 abuts against the stepped structure 42, and then use bolts to fixedly connect the stepped structure 42 and the fifth protrusion structure 51.
[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
