[0030] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the solutions of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other

[0031] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only partial embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all embodiments

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 . On the one hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a connector structure 100. The connector structure 100 includes a housing 1 and a frame body 2. The housing 1 has an opening 11, and the frame body 2 has a through socket 21. The frame body 2 is sleeved in the opening 11 and is detachably connected to the housing 1. The socket 21 is used to receive the terminal 201

[0033] It should be noted that the connector structure 100 of the embodiment of the present application can be used as the connector structure 100 of a vehicle, but is not limited to being used as the connector structure 100 of a vehicle. If other devices apply the connector structure 100 provided by the present application, they should also fall within the protection scope of the present application. For example, the connector structure 100 of the embodiment of the present application can also be applied to engineering equipment, ships, spacecrafts, etc

[0034] The housing 1 can be prepared from materials such as plastic and metal. When the housing 1 is prepared from plastic, an integral structure can be formed by an injection molding process. When the housing 1 is prepared from metal, an integral structure can be formed by a die casting process, and the metal can be aluminum alloy

[0035] The housing 1 can have a chamber, and the opening 11 communicates the chamber with the outside. Function modules such as a circuit board, a sensor, a camera, a battery, etc. can be placed in the chamber. A terminal 201 is provided in the function module, and two or more terminals 201 can be connected by a wire harness to achieve electrical connection of the function modules. One or more openings 11 can be provided on the housing 1. One opening 11 can be correspondingly provided with one housing 2, and one opening 11 can also correspond to multiple housings 2, that is, multiple housings 2 are sleeved in one opening 11, and the multiple housings 2 can be arranged side by side in the opening 11.

[0036] The housing 2 is independently prepared from the housing 1. After the prepared housing 2 meets the accuracy requirements, the housing 2 is then installed on the housing 1. Thus, when the prepared housing 2 does not meet the accuracy requirements, only the housing 2 that does not meet the accuracy requirements is invalidated, and there is no need to re-prepare the housing 1, thereby reducing the preparation cost and improving the preparation efficiency of the plug-in structure 100. When multiple housings 2 are provided on the housing 1, the multiple housings 2 can be prepared separately, and then the multiple housings 2 that meet the accuracy requirements are installed on the housing 1, thereby reducing the preparation cost and improving the preparation efficiency of the plug-in structure 100.

[0037] The housing 2 can be press-fitted into the opening 11, that is, the side wall surface of the opening 11 and the side wall surface of the housing 2 are in mutual contact. The housing 2 and the housing 1 can also be fixed by means of snap connection, adhesive connection, etc. The housing 2 has a through socket 21 provided therein, so that the terminal 201 provided in the socket 21 can be exposed. When a plug is inserted into the socket 21, the plug of the wire harness can contact and be electrically connected to the terminal 201. The housing 2 is wound around the outside of the plug, so that the housing 2 can not only protect the terminal 201, but also protect the connected power terminals and the plug, improving the connection stability of the power terminals and the plug.

[0038] In this embodiment, by providing the housing 1 and the housing 2 with a detachable connection, the housing 1 and the housing 2 can be independently prepared and then assembled together, thus avoiding the situation where the housing 1 and the housing 2 are invalidated together due to the prepared housing 2 not meeting the accuracy requirements, thereby reducing the preparation cost, improving the preparation efficiency of the plug-in structure 100, and improving the yield of the plug-in structure 100; by providing the housing 2 sleeved in the opening 11 and providing the housing 2 with a socket 21 for receiving the terminal 201, when the plug-in structure 100 is used to connect with a plug, the housing 2 can protect the connected terminal 201 and the plug, improving the connection stability of the terminal 201 and the plug.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3, in some embodiments, the housing 2 includes side walls 22 that enclose to form a socket 21. The socket 21 extends along a first direction X. Among the opposite ends of the side walls 22 along the first direction X, at least one end protrudes relative to the housing 1 along the first direction X.

[0040] The surface of the housing 1 includes an inner surface that defines a chamber 16 and an outer surface that is disposed opposite to the inner surface. The opening 11 penetrates through the inner surface and the outer surface along the first direction X. The housing 2 may include one side wall 22, and one side wall 22 encloses and connects to form the socket 21. For example: the housing 2 is circular, the housing 2 includes 1 side wall 22, and 1 side wall 22 winds around to form the socket 21. The housing 2 may include a plurality of side walls 22, and the plurality of side walls 22 of the housing 2 are connected end to end to form the socket 21. For example: the housing 2 is rectangular, the housing 2 includes 4 side walls 22, and 4 side walls 22 are connected end to end to form the socket 21. The housing 2 is sleeved in the opening 11, and one end of the housing 2 along the first direction X protrudes relative to the housing 1. It may be that the side wall 22 of the housing 2 protrudes relative to the outer surface of the housing 1 in a direction away from the chamber 16, or it may be that the side wall 22 of the housing 2 protrudes relative to the inner surface of the housing 1 in a direction close to the center of the chamber 16. In some embodiments, both ends of the housing 2 along the first direction X may protrude relative to the housing 1, that is, one end of the side wall 22 of the housing 2 protrudes relative to the outer surface of the housing 1 in a direction away from the chamber 16, and the other end of the side wall 22 of the housing 2 protrudes relative to the inner surface of the housing 1 in a direction close to the center of the chamber 16.

[0041] By setting the side wall 22 to protrude relative to the housing 1, the length of the housing 2 along the first direction X is relatively longer than the length of the housing 1 along the first direction X, which is beneficial for the housing 2 to protect the connected terminal 201 and plug.

[0042] In some embodiments, one of the housing 2 and the housing 1 includes a snap groove 12, and the other includes a snap member 23. The housing 2 and the housing 1 are snap-connected by inserting the snap member 23 into the snap groove 12.

[0043] The engaging groove 12 may be provided on the housing 2, and the engaging member 23 may be provided on the housing 1. When the housing 2 is inserted into the opening 11 of the housing 1, the engaging member 23 slides into the engaging groove 12, and the engaging member 23 is limited in the engaging groove 12 to realize the engaging connection between the housing 2 and the housing 1. It may also be that the engaging member 23 is provided on the housing 2 and the engaging groove 12 is provided on the housing 1. When the housing 2 is inserted into the opening 11 of the housing 1, the engaging member 23 slides into the engaging groove 12, and the engaging member 23 is limited in the engaging groove 12 to realize the engaging connection between the housing 2 and the housing 1. It may also be that the engaging member 23 and the engaging groove 12 are provided in the housing 2, and the engaging member 23 and the engaging groove 12 are provided in the housing 1. The engaging member 23 on the housing 2 is engaged with the engaging groove 12 on the housing 1, and the engaging groove 12 on the housing 2 is engaged with the engaging member 23 on the housing 1.

[0044] The engaging connection between the housing 2 and the housing 1 is realized by providing the engaging groove 12 and the engaging member 23 to facilitate the fixation of the housing 2 and the housing 1.

[0045] Those skilled in the art can set the shape of the engaging member 23 and the structure of the engaging groove 12 adapted to the engaging member 23 as needed. In some embodiments, the engaging member 23 is a protruding block protruding from the side wall 22 or the wall surface of the opening 11, and the engaging groove 12 is a groove adapted to the protruding block. In some embodiments, the engaging member 23 is a protruding elastic piece protruding from the side wall 22 or the wall surface of the opening 11, and the engaging groove 12 is a groove adapted to the protruding elastic piece.

[0046] In some embodiments, the housing 2 includes a side wall 22 and an engaging member 23. The side wall 22 encloses to form a socket 21. The side wall 22 is sleeved in the opening 11, and the engaging member 23 protrudes from the outer surface of the side wall 22.

[0047] The side wall 22 may extend along the first direction X, and the engaging member 23 may protrude from the outer surface of the side wall 22 along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. Optionally, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. The engaging member 23 is engaged with the engaging groove 12, so that the engaging member 23 can limit the housing 2 from moving relative to the housing 1 along the second direction Y.

[0048] In some embodiments, the housing 2 further includes a protruding portion 24 provided on the side wall 22, and the edge of the opening 11 supports the protruding portion 24.

[0049] By providing the protruding portion 24, the housing 1 can limit the housing 2 from moving in the direction approaching the center of the chamber 16 along the first direction X. When the engaging member 23 is an engaging block, during the process of inserting the housing 2 into the opening 11, the housing 2 is deformed to a certain extent, so that the engaging block can pass through a part of the housing 1 until the engaging block is inserted into the engaging groove 12. The engaged engaging block and engaging groove 12 can limit the housing 2 from moving in the direction away from the center of the chamber 16 along the first direction X.

[0050] In some embodiments, the housing 2 further includes mounting ribs 25 provided on the side wall 22. The mounting ribs 25 and the engaging member 23 are provided on opposite sides of the side wall 22. The mounting ribs 25 are shaped to cooperate with the plug so that the plug can be inserted into the correct socket 21.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a main body portion 13 having an opening 11 and a limiting portion 14 provided on the main body portion 13. The limiting portion 14 surrounds the side wall 22, and the engaging groove 12 is formed in the limiting portion 14.

[0052] The opening 11 penetrates through the main body portion 13, so that the cavity 16 of the housing 1 and the outside can be communicated through the opening 11. The limiting portion 14 may be a rib, a retaining wall, etc. provided along the opening 11. The limiting portion 14 surrounds the side wall 22, so that the limiting portion 14 can limit the movement of the housing 2.

[0053] In some embodiments, a plurality of limiting portions 14 surround the opening 11, and there is a notch 15 between adjacent limiting portions 14. The protruding portion 24 passes through the notch 15.

[0054] The number of the limiting portions 14 may be multiple. The multiple limiting portions 14 are arranged along the opening 11. By providing the notch 15 between adjacent limiting portions 14, the protruding portion 24 can pass through the notch 15, so as to avoid the protruding portion 24. Optionally, the protruding portion 24 is a wedge-shaped block. In the cross-section of the protruding portion 24 along the first direction X, the width of the protruding portion 24 gradually increases in the direction close to the main body portion 13.

[0055] In some embodiments, a guiding surface 17 is provided at the end of the limiting portion 14 facing away from the main body portion 13. The guiding surface 17 is inclined in the direction close to the center of the opening 11 along the direction from the limiting portion 14 to the main body portion 13.
