Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of adapters, in particular to an adapter using magnetic principle Ethernet technology. Background Art

[0002] In the current field of automotive electronics technology, as a key component connecting different electronic modules or components, the performance and reliability of the adapter have an important impact on the performance of the whole vehicle. At present, many adapter designs adopt an interference fit connection method, which realizes a tight connection through the interference amount between parts and has the advantages of simple structure and stable connection.

[0003] However, this interference fit connection method has significant drawbacks when faced with violent installation or improper operation. Since the interference fit relies on the tight fit between parts, once subjected to excessive external force impact, such as rough installation by non-professionals, it is easy to cause the position of the internal parts of the adapter to shift or deform. This position change not only destroys the originally designed precise fit relationship but also may affect the signal transmission path, resulting in a significant decline in transmission capacity. For key systems such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and on-board diagnostic systems (OBD), the decline in transmission capacity will directly affect the accuracy and reliability of their functions, posing a potential threat to driving safety and vehicle maintenance.
