Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a terminal connection application technology, in particular to a waterproof plug-in terminal and a plug pin. Background Art
[0002] In new energy vehicles, the design and use of various electrical devices are trending towards lightweight and integrated design. Various electrical cables are required for connection within the vehicle, and various plug-in terminals are used throughout the vehicle to connect the cables and transmit electrical and other sensor signals. Vehicles are generally in an irregular motion environment, placing high demands on the waterproofing capabilities of the plug-in terminals and the stability and anti-detachment capabilities of the pins. However, under current conditions, plugs with waterproof and anti-detachment properties are generally expensive or have complex structures, resulting in high long-term cost. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0027] The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.
[0028] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a waterproof mating terminal and pin includes a terminal body 1, characterized in that: the terminal body 1 includes an upper cover 2, a silicone waterproof pad 3, and a terminal base 4. The terminal base 4 is provided with a female plug terminal 401 and a male pin 402. The female plug terminal 401 is provided with a hanging ear 4012 and a positioning and fixing bar 4011. The positioning and fixing bar 4011 is used to fix the female plug terminal 401 in the mounting hole 403 of the terminal base 4 to prevent the female plug terminal 401 from sliding between the terminal base 4. The hanging ear 4012 is also provided with a crown spring 4014, which is snap-fitted into the hanging ear 4012. One side of the male pin 402 is sleeved within the crown spring 4014. The male pin 402 has cylindrical ends. The crown spring 4014 is cylindrical in shape as a whole, and a concave groove 4015 is provided in the middle of the crown spring 4014. Since the crown spring 4014 is made of elastic material as a whole, the concave groove 4015 is used to assist in fixing and limiting the male pin 402 and the crown spring 4014 during the socketing process.
[0030] The silicone waterproof pad 3 is composed of a first silicone waterproof layer 301 and a second silicone waterproof layer 302. The first silicone waterproof layer 301 and the second silicone waterproof layer 302 are integrally formed. A buffer ring 303 is provided inside the first silicone waterproof layer 301 and the second silicone waterproof layer 302. The diameter of the buffer ring 303 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside. As can be seen from the figure, the overall diameter of the buffer ring 303 gradually decreases. This is mainly to construct the buffer rings 303 of different diameters into a multi-level buffer area during actual use, thereby enhancing the impact resistance of the terminal base. The four ends of the silicone waterproof pad 3 are rounded transitions, and the first silicone waterproof layer 301 and the second silicone waterproof layer 302 are arranged axially symmetrically. It should be noted that after the female terminal 4 and the male pin 402 are assembled and connected, the entirety passes through the first silicone waterproof layer 301 and the second silicone waterproof layer 302. Due to the symmetrical design of the entire silicone waterproof pad 3 and the arrangement design in which the diameter of the buffer ring 303 is gradually reduced, the silicone can utilize its own shrinkage elasticity and the silicone can wrap the entire female terminal 401, thereby improving the overall waterproof capability.
[0031] The upper cover 2 is provided with fixed slots 201 on both sides. The bottom of the fixed slots 201 is hollow, and the middle of the upper cover is also provided with a circular hole. The terminal base 4 is provided with fixed ladders 404 on both sides. The upper cover 2 and the terminal base 4 are fixedly connected to the fixed slots 201 via the fixed ladders 404. The terminal base 4 is provided with a watertight compartment 405, and the silicone watertight pad 3 is fixedly installed in the watertight compartment 405. Due to the certain elasticity of the silicone watertight pad 3, the silicone watertight pad 3 can completely abut the inner plane of the watertight compartment 405.
[0032] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown: a raised stopper 4031 is further provided inside the terminal base 4. When the female terminal 401 and the male pin 402 are assembled and installed in the mounting hole 403 inside the terminal base 4, the hanging ear 4012 on the female terminal 401 can be retracted vertically downward and moved in the opposite direction. The hanging ear 4012 cannot be retracted and can only be retracted in one direction. The setting of the hanging ear 4012 is to prevent the female terminal 401 from being displaced due to external plugging and unplugging from another aspect.
[0033] A crimping angle 4013 is also provided on one side of the female plug terminal 401. The crimping angle has a certain degree of elasticity. After the cable is placed in the female plug terminal 401, the two sides of the crimping angle 4013 can be gradually wrapped inward to tighten the cable, and at the same time, the connection between the female plug terminal 401 and the terminal base 4 is facilitated.
