[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive connectors, and particularly relates to an improved automotive connector. Background Art

[0002] Automotive connectors play a role of connection, control and protection in automotive electronic systems. With the continuous development of automotive technology, especially the increasing number of automotive electronic products, the application quantity of automotive connectors also shows an increasing trend. There are various types of automotive connectors with different functions, but their common function is to build a bridge of circuit connection between various devices inside the vehicle to ensure the flow of current and the normal operation of the devices;

[0003] Connectors are mainly used to connect with the wire plugs of devices inside the vehicle to ensure the flow of current and the normal operation of the devices. However, during the driving of the vehicle, bumps will occur, and under the long-term action of continuous bumps and vibrations, the connection state between the wire plug and the connector will become loose or even detached, and there is no early warning when the wire plug and the connector are detached during use.

[0004] To solve the above problems, an improved automotive connector is proposed in this application. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Based on the technical problems existing in the background art, the utility model proposes an improved automotive connector.

[0006] An improved automotive connector proposed by the utility model includes a connector body;

[0007] Limit rings are installed at both ends of the connector body. A through insertion channel is opened in the limit ring, and an elastic limit warning mechanism for device limit warning is installed on the side of the limit ring and extends into the insertion channel.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic limit warning mechanism includes a limit cylinder. An assembly port communicating with the insertion channel is opened on the side of the limit ring. One end of the limit cylinder is installed in the assembly port. A cavity is opened in the limit cylinder. An elastic pressing member that slides through one end of the limit cylinder and extends into the insertion channel is installed in the cavity. A pressure warning member located in the cavity is installed on the inner wall at the other end of the limit cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic pressing member includes a rod-shaped elastic part and a pressing block. An opening communicating with the insertion channel and the cavity is opened at one end of the limit cylinder. The rod-shaped elastic part is arranged in the cavity and slides through the opening and extends into the insertion channel. The pressing block is installed at one end of the rod-shaped elastic part and is placed in the cavity.

[0010] Preferably, the rod-shaped elastic part includes a limiting rod and a spring. The limiting rod is horizontally arranged in the cavity, and one end of the limiting rod slides through the opening hole and extends into the insertion channel. The pressing block is installed at the other end of the limiting rod. The spring is sleeved on the limiting rod and placed in the cavity, and both ends of the spring are respectively connected to the pressing block and the inner wall of one end of the limiting cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the compression warning part includes a pressure sensor and an alarm. The pressure sensor is installed on the inner wall of the other end of the limiting cylinder and placed in the cavity. The alarm is installed at the other end of the limiting cylinder, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the alarm.

[0012] The above technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] Through the provided elastic limit warning mechanism, the wire plug can pass through the insertion channel opened in the limit ring and be connected to the connector body. When the plug passes through the insertion channel, it can abut against the elastic limit warning mechanism, thereby activating its own warning mechanism. When the vehicle is driving, after the plug is separated from the connector body, the alarm mechanism of the elastic limit warning mechanism will be triggered to give an alarm in time. This structure can give an alarm in time after the plug is separated from the connector body, reminding the staff to take corresponding measures. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present utility model.

[0020] As Figures 1-4 shown, an improved automotive connector proposed by the present utility model includes a connector body 1;

[0021] In this embodiment, limiting rings 2 are installed at both ends of the connector body 1. A through insertion channel is provided in the limiting ring 2, and an elastic limiting and warning mechanism 3 for device limiting and warning is installed on the side of the limiting ring 2 and extends into the insertion channel.

[0022] In this embodiment, the elastic limiting and warning mechanism 3 includes a limiting cylinder 31. An assembly opening communicating with the insertion channel is provided on the side of the limiting ring 2. One end of the limiting cylinder 31 is installed in the assembly opening. A cavity is provided in the limiting cylinder 31, and an elastic pressing member 32 that slides through one end of the limiting cylinder 31 and extends into the insertion channel is installed in the cavity. The elastic pressing member 32 includes a rod-shaped elastic portion 321 and a pressing block 322. An opening communicating with the insertion channel and the cavity is provided at one end of the limiting cylinder 31. The rod-shaped elastic portion 321 is arranged in the cavity and slides through the opening and extends into the insertion channel. The pressing block 322 is installed at one end of the rod-shaped elastic portion 321 and is located in the cavity. The rod-shaped elastic portion 321 includes a limiting rod 3211 and a spring 3212. The limiting rod 3211 is horizontally arranged in the cavity, and one end of the limiting rod 3211 slides through the opening and extends into the insertion channel. The pressing block 322 is installed at the other end of the limiting rod 3211. The spring 3212 is sleeved on the limiting rod 3211 and is located in the cavity, and both ends of the spring 3212 are respectively connected to the pressing block 322 and the inner wall of one end of the limiting cylinder 31.

[0023] In this embodiment, a pressure-receiving warning member 33 located in the cavity is installed on the inner wall of the other end of the limiting cylinder 31. The pressure-receiving warning member 33 includes a pressure sensor 331 and an alarm 332. The pressure sensor 331 is installed on the inner wall of the other end of the limiting cylinder 31 and is located in the cavity. The alarm 332 is installed at the other end of the limiting cylinder 31, and the pressure sensor 331 is electrically connected to the alarm 332.

[0024] It should be noted that the wire plug can pass through the insertion channel opened in the limit ring 2 and be connected to the connector body 1. When the plug passes through the insertion channel, it can press against the limit rod 3211, pushing the pressing block 322 closer to the pressure sensor 331 and pressing tightly against the pressure sensor 331. At this time, the spring 3212 connected to the pressing block 322 is stretched, and the elastic force is applied to the wire plug through the limit rod 3211, playing a certain limiting role. When the vehicle is driving, after the wire plug is separated from the connector body 1 and away from the restriction of the limit rod 3211, under the elastic action of the spring 3212, it can return to its original position, the pressing block 322 moves away from the pressure sensor 331, and after the pressure received by the pressure sensor 331 changes, it can transmit the changed signal to the alarm 332, and the alarm 332 gives an alarm in time. This structure can give an early warning in time after the wire plug is separated from the connector body 1, reminding the staff to take corresponding measures.

[0025] It should be understood that the above specific embodiments of the present invention are only used for exemplary illustration or explanation of the principle of the present invention, and do not constitute a limitation to the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
