A strip - shaped bus slot is provided at the bottom of the instrument housing. A bus connector is provided inside the instrument housing. The bus connector is used for electrically connecting with the main circuit board of the instrument housing. The position of the bus connector corresponds to that of the strip - shaped bus slot. The strip - shaped bus slot is used for plugging and fixing with a bus plug, so that the bus plug is electrically connected with the bus connector.

[0006] As a preference, a further technical solution is: A metal conductor is provided inside the strip - shaped bus slot. The metal conductor is electrically connected with the electrode end of the bus connector. The electrode end of the bus connector is also electrically connected with the main circuit board of the instrument housing.

[0007] A further technical solution is: A retaining buckle is provided on one side of the strip - shaped bus slot. A slot corresponding to the retaining buckle is provided on the bus plug.

[0008] A further technical solution is: The retaining buckle is located in the middle of one side of the strip - shaped bus slot.

[0016] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Referring to Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model is a main wire harness plugging structure of an electric vehicle instrument, including an instrument housing 1. Referring to Figure 2 shown, a strip bus slot 2 is provided at the bottom of the aforementioned instrument housing 1. The strip bus slot 2 can be injection-molded together with the instrument housing 1. A bus connector 3 can also be preset inside the instrument housing 1. The bus connector 3 can adopt a 5557-16P strip connector on the market. It is electrically connected to the main circuit board 4 of the instrument housing 1 through the bus connector 3 to realize the mutual transmission of signals. At the same time, the installation position of the bus connector 3 inside the instrument housing needs to correspond to the strip bus slot 2, so that the strip bus slot 2 can be plugged and fixed with a bus plug (not shown in the figure), enabling the bus plug to be electrically connected to the bus connector 3. At the same time, the aforementioned bus plug can also correspond to the bus connector 3 and adopt a 5557-16P plug on the market.

[0018] Referring to Figure 3As shown, in order to avoid the problem that the bus connector 3 and the bus plug are not easily in contact due to the excessive depth of the injection-molded strip bus slot, the inventor also added a metal conductor 5 inside the strip bus slot 2. The metal conductor 5 is electrically connected to the electrode end of the bus connector 3, and at the same time, the electrode end of the bus connector 3 is also electrically connected to the main circuit board 4 of the instrument housing 1. Thus, the metal conductor 5 plays a role of transmission and bridging between the bus connector 3 and the bus plug.

[0019] In this embodiment, by designing the strip bus slot 2 at the bottom of the instrument housing, it can cooperate with the bus connector 3 inside the instrument housing 1, enabling the bus plug to be electrically connected to the main circuit board 4 of the instrument through the bus connector 3. Compared with the traditional method of using wires and D-shaped connectors, the bus plugging method can significantly improve the plugging stability and avoid poor contact caused by loosening during use.

[0020] Reference Figure 4 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, in order to further improve the stability of the bus plug plugged on the strip bus slot 2, the inventor also added a retaining buckle 6 on one side of the above strip bus slot 2. Correspondingly, a slot corresponding to the retaining buckle 6 was also added to the bus plug. And the retaining buckle 6 is located in the middle of one side of the strip bus slot 2 to ensure that the bus plug does not shift after being buckled.

[0021] It should be noted that the above bus connector 3 and bus plug can both adopt the commercially available 5557-16P strip connector and 5557-16 plug, and the main circuit board of the electric vehicle instrument is the same as that of the existing similar electric vehicle instruments. Therefore, in this specification, the 5557-16P strip connector and 5557-16 plug, as well as their signal transmission methods and principles with the main circuit board, will not be elaborated. The purpose of the present invention is not here either. Those skilled in the art can reproduce the present invention by referring to the signal transmission principles of the same type of bus connectors and instruments on the market.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in actual use of the above preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bus connector 3 inside the instrument housing 1 is pre-contacted with the metal conductor 5 inside the strip bus slot 2 and is electrically connected to the main circuit board 4 at the same time. When the bus plug is inserted into the strip bus slot 2, the electrodes inside the bus plug are in contact with the aforementioned metal conductor 5, and then are electrically connected to the aforementioned main circuit board 4 through the bus connector 3. And the retaining buckle 6 on the strip bus slot 2 is engaged with the slot on the bus plug to further prevent the bus plug from loosening from the strip bus slot 2.
