Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] At present, the new energy vehicles mainly rely on electrical signal transmission. Almost all in-vehicle devices and control mechanisms adopt the electrical control mode instead of the mechanical transmission mode. This electrical control mode has the advantages of labor saving and high control precision. However, this control mode has relatively high requirements for anti-interference inside the vehicle body. Especially during the driving process of the vehicle, when there is jitter or collision, it is required that the signal transmission cannot be affected by external interference signals. Therefore, the shielding function of the shielding connector has become one of the most important functions.

[0003] With the continuous development of new energy vehicles, the requirement for the cruising range is continuously increasing, and the requirements for the installation size, installation method, and current-carrying capacity of the shielding connector are also continuously increasing. The existing shielding elastic pieces generally use an outwardly bent structure or a trapezoidal cross-section structure. The elasticity of the shielding elastic pieces is relatively poor. When the shielding member is installed into the connection housing, the installation size of the connection housing is relatively large. When the shielding connector is installed into the installation panel, the size of the installation hole reserved on the installation panel is relatively large, resulting in an increase in the overall installation size of the connector, which does not meet the size requirements of the shielding connector for new energy vehicles. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a shielding connector, which requires a relatively small installation size when installed into the installation panel, saving space.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A shielding connector includes a socket assembly detachably installed on an installation panel. The socket assembly includes a socket housing and a shielding member fixedly connected to the socket housing. The socket housing includes a socket outer cover detachably connected to the installation panel and a socket body passing through the installation panel. The shielding member is integrally formed and includes a shielding housing and at least a pair of shielding elastic pieces symmetrically arranged on both sides of the shielding housing. The shielding housing is accommodated in the socket outer cover and sleeved on the tail of the socket body. One side of the shielding elastic piece abuts against the head of the socket body, and the other side abuts against the installation panel.

[0007] Further, the shielding elastic piece is integrally formed at the end position of the shielding housing.

[0008] Further, the installation panel has an opening for the socket body to pass through, and the other side of the shielding elastic piece abuts against the inner wall forming the opening.

[0009] Further, the shielding elastic piece includes a contact portion arched towards the installation panel, and the contact portion abuts against the inner wall forming the opening.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the shielding shrapnel is inclined towards the socket housing, and the end of the shielding shrapnel abuts against the head of the socket body.

[0011] Furthermore, the shielding shrapnel includes two elastic arms, which are used to enhance the elasticity of the shielding shrapnel and reduce the resistance when the shielding component is installed.

[0012] Furthermore, the ends of the elastic arms of the shielding shrapnel near the outer edge are provided with guiding angles, which are inclined towards the direction away from the inner wall forming the opening, so as to avoid interference during installation.

[0013] Furthermore, a boss is provided on the socket body, and the shielding component includes a claw that is matingly connected with the boss.

[0014] Furthermore, the claw is formed by stamping from the side wall of the shielding housing towards the socket body.

[0015] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided between the socket housing and the mounting panel, and a groove for receiving the sealing gasket is provided on the socket housing.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. By providing a shielding component, the shielding component includes a shielding housing and at least a pair of symmetrically arranged shielding shrapnels on both sides of the shielding housing. Among them, the shielding shrapnel includes a contact portion that arches towards the mounting panel, and the contact portion abuts against the inner wall forming the opening, so as to achieve shielding conduction with the socket assembly. By setting the contact portion as an arched structure, this structure can reduce the size of the socket housing for installing the shielding component.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a shielding connector according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a socket assembly 7 detachably mounted on a mounting panel 2. The socket assembly 7 includes a socket housing 1, a shielding member 5 fixedly connected to the socket housing 1, a sealing gasket 3 disposed between the socket housing 1 and the mounting panel 2, and a fastener 8. Among them, the socket housing 1 is an integral structure, including a socket outer cover 12 detachably connected to the mounting panel 2 and a socket body 13 that can pass through the mounting panel 2. The socket body 13 is located inside the socket outer cover 12, and there is a barrel-shaped accommodating cavity 14 left between the outer wall of the socket body 13 and the inner wall of the socket outer cover 12 for installing the shielding member 5.

[0027] The shielding member 5 passes through the accommodation cavity 14 and is installed in the socket housing 1 from bottom to top. The shielding member 5 is an integrally formed structure and includes a shielding housing 50 and at least a pair of shielding elastic pieces 51 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the shielding housing 50. The shielding housing 50 is accommodated in the socket outer cover 12 and sleeved on the tail portion 132 of the socket body 13. One side of the shielding elastic piece 51 abuts against the head portion 131 of the socket body 13, and the other side abuts against the mounting panel 2. Specifically, the shielding housing 50 covers the outer side wall of the tail portion 132 of the socket body 13. The shielding elastic piece 51 abuts at the position of the head portion 131 of the shielding housing 50.

[0028] The shielding elastic piece 51 is integrally formed at the end position of the shielding housing 50, and the shielding elastic piece 51 passes through the fixing plate 11 and extends towards the head portion 131 of the socket body 13.

[0029] The mounting panel 2 has an opening 20 through which the head portion 131 of the socket body 13 can pass, and the other side of the shielding elastic piece 51 abuts against the inner wall forming the opening 20.

[0030] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the end 511 of the shielding elastic piece 51 is designed as an inclined angle structure inclined towards the socket housing 1. When the socket assembly 7 is installed in the mounting panel 2, the end 511 of the shielding elastic piece 51 abuts against the head portion 131 of the socket body 13, and this inclined angle structure can effectively avoid interference between the end 511 of the shielding elastic piece 51 and the mounting panel 2.

[0031] When the socket assembly 7 is installed in place, one side of the shielding elastic piece 51 abuts against the head portion 131 of the socket body 13, and the other side abuts against the inner wall of the opening 20 of the mounting panel 2. Among them, the end 511 of the shielding elastic piece 51 abuts against the head portion 131 of the socket body 13; the shielding elastic piece 51 further includes a contact portion 510 arched towards the mounting panel 2, and the contact portion 510 abuts against the inner wall forming the opening 20 to achieve shielding conduction with the socket assembly 7. The contact portion 510 is set as an arched structure, and this structure can reduce the size of the socket housing 1 for installing the shielding member 5.

[0032] The shielding elastic piece 51 is divided into two from the front end 512 to the end 511 to form two elastic arms 513. The elastic arms 513 are used to enhance the elasticity of the shielding elastic piece 51, and when the shielding member 5 is installed in the socket housing 1 and the socket assembly 7 is installed in the mounting panel 2, the resistance received by the shielding elastic piece 51 is reduced. The end of the elastic arm 513 at the position close to the outer edge of the shielding elastic piece 51 is provided with a guiding angle 514, and the guiding angle 514 is inclined towards the direction away from the inner wall forming the opening 20 to avoid interference when the shielding member 5 is installed in the socket housing 1 and the socket assembly 7 is installed in the mounting panel 2.

[0033] The shielding member 5 further includes a buckle 52 and a claw 53. The buckle 52 extends from both sides of the bottom end 500 of the shielding housing 50 and is bent inward relative to the shielding housing 50. The buckle 52 is connected to a clamping position (not shown in the figure) of the socket body 13. The claw 53 is formed by stamping the side wall 501 of the shielding housing 50 toward the socket body 13. A boss 130 is provided on the socket body 13, and the claw 53 is engaged with the boss 130 to fix the shielding member 5 and prevent the shielding member 5 from moving backward.

[0034] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the socket outer cover 12 includes a fixing plate 11. A circular groove 110 is formed on one side of the fixing plate 11 close to the head 131 of the socket body 13. The sealing gasket 3 is installed in the groove 110 from top to bottom. Convex ribs (not shown in the figure) are provided on the inner wall of the groove 110. The sealing gasket 3 is fixedly connected to the convex ribs by clamping, and the sealing gasket 3 is also in interference connection with the bottom of the groove 110 and the mounting panel 2 at the same time. Through holes 112 are formed around the fixing plate 11, and the fasteners 8 are installed in the through holes 112 from bottom to top. Among them, the fastener 8 is of a circular structure and is in interference fit with the through hole 112.

[0035] In a shielding connector according to an embodiment of the present invention, by setting the contact portion 510 where the shielding elastic piece 51 contacts the mounting panel 2 to be arched, the size of installing the shielding member 5 on the socket housing 1 can be effectively reduced. By making the mounting panel 2 abut against the contact portion 510, the shielding conduction between the socket assembly 7 and the mounting panel 2 is realized. By designing the end 511 of the shielding elastic piece 51 to be an inclined angle inclined inward relative to the socket housing 1, interference between the end 511 of the shielding elastic piece 51 and the mounting panel 2 is avoided. By providing a claw 53 on the shielding member 5 to be engaged and fixed with the socket body 13, the shielding member 5 is effectively prevented from moving backward.

[0036] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
