DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0023] Example
[0024] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, Figure 1 Shown is an overall schematic diagram of the connector in the embodiment; Figure 2 Shown is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the terminal and the internal fixing member in the embodiment; Figure 3 Shown is a schematic diagram of the structure of the terminal in the embodiment; Figure 4 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of an internal fixing member in an embodiment;
[0025] The device includes:
[0026] The terminals 10 each include a main body section 11, a first connecting end 12, and a second connecting end 13, wherein the first connecting end 12 and the second connecting end 13 are respectively located at two ends of the main body section 11, and the first connecting end 12 and the second connecting end 13 are not coplanar;
[0027] The internal fixing member 20 is disposed outside the terminal 10 and includes a first socket 21 and a second socket 22 for extending the first connection terminal 12 and the second connection terminal 13 respectively;
[0028] The shell 30 is arranged on the outside of the internal fixing member 20. The shell 30 includes a accommodating chamber 1 31 and a accommodating chamber 2 32. The accommodating chamber 1 31 is arranged at a position corresponding to the connecting terminal 12 and forms a plug-in portion with the connecting terminal 12. The accommodating chamber 2 32 is arranged at a position corresponding to the connecting terminal 2 13 and is for cable access.
[0029] The shell 30 is located at the outermost part and plays a fixing and protective role. By adding an internal fixing part 20 to fix the terminal 10, the stability of the terminal 10 is further enhanced. The added internal fixing part 20 can provide additional support for the terminal 10, making the overall structure more solid and better able to resist external mechanical shock and vibration.
[0030] Specifically, in its production process, before the finished connector is finally formed, four specifications of hardware are first injection-molded into a bead, and then the bead is subjected to a second injection molding to form the final product;
[0031] The connection end 12 and the connection end 2 13 of the terminal 10 are in a vertical relationship, and the number of the terminals 10 is set to 4;
[0032] By designing the connection end 12 and the connection end 2 13 of the terminal 10 to be non-coplanar, connection can be achieved in a limited space, which is particularly important for the compact interior design of modern vehicles; and during vehicle driving, the non-coplanar design can enhance the seismic performance of the connector by changing the direction of force transmission.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of the terminal in the embodiment.
[0034] A slot 14 is provided on the main body section 11 of the terminal 10 , and a protrusion with a corresponding shape is provided on the inner fixing member 20 at a position corresponding to the slot 14 .
[0035] The mutual engagement of the slot 14 and the protrusion can ensure that the terminal 10 is stably positioned in the inner fixing member 20, thereby preventing the terminal 10 from loosening or falling off due to vibration or other external forces.
[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown, Figure 1 Shown is an overall schematic diagram of the connector in the embodiment; Figure 5 FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a connector in an embodiment (from a top view);
[0037] The housing 30 is provided with a third socket 33 for the first connection terminal 12 and the second connection terminal 13 to extend out;
[0038] The housing 30 is further provided with a lead hole 1 34 and a lead hole 2 35 . The lead hole 1 34 is provided on the side of the housing 30 where the accommodating cavity 1 31 is provided, and the lead hole 2 35 is provided on the side of the housing 30 opposite to the lead hole 1 34 .
[0039] By setting lead hole 1 34 and lead hole 2 35 at two different positions, the optimal lead hole position can be selected according to the actual application scenario of the connector. Lead holes at different positions can ensure compatibility with various installation configurations, thereby reducing the pulling force of the cable on the shell 30 and improving the overall mechanical strength and reliability.
[0040] A plurality of cable holders 36 are also provided in the second accommodating cavity 32 of the housing 30;
[0041] The cable holder 36 can be provided to conveniently manage the cables and avoid cable entanglement or confusion, thereby improving the neatness of the device and the convenience of maintenance.
[0042] Working principle: By adding an internal fixing part 20 to fix the terminal 10, the stability of the terminal 10 is further enhanced, and the added internal fixing part 20 can provide additional support for the terminal 10, making the overall structure more solid and better able to resist external mechanical shock and vibration.
[0043] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same.
