Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive high-voltage wiring harness technology, specifically to an automotive high-voltage wiring harness connector structure. Background Technology

[0002] A wiring harness is the overall system of service equipment for a given load source group. In automobiles, high-voltage wiring harnesses are the primary carrier for power output in electric vehicles and a key component ensuring overall vehicle performance and safety. They are bundled electrical components consisting of multiple wires or cables, typically composed of conductors, insulation materials, sheaths, and connectors, used to transmit high-voltage current. Wiring harness connectors have complex structures and precise designs, containing multiple key components and special structures to ensure safe and reliable electrical connections.

Specifically, it is an automotive high-voltage wiring harness connector, including a connector head and a wiring harness. A protective shell is fixedly connected to the outside of the connector head, and a connecting groove is formed on the right side of the connector head. A fixing plate is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the wiring harness, and a fixing nut is movably sleeved on the outside of the wiring harness. By using a plug-in connection to connect the connector head and the wiring harness, when the connector head or wiring harness is damaged, the fixing nut can be unscrewed, the wiring harness pulled out of the connector head, and then the connector head or wiring harness can be replaced without discarding the connector head or wiring harness, saving materials and reducing usage costs. A sealing ring is provided, with the arc groove on the right side of the sealing ring fitting against the protrusion, and the protruding rib on the outside of the sealing ring interlocking with the inside of the protective shell, improving the sealing performance between the protective shell and the fixing nut and preventing water ingress into the protective shell.

[0004] The existing wire harness connectors are manufactured as a single piece. When a single wire harness or connector is damaged, both the wire harness and the connector need to be replaced together. The wire harness connector cannot be disassembled to replace the wire harness or connector separately, which increases the cost of use and cannot meet the usage requirements. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automotive high-voltage wiring harness connector structure, comprising a first connector shell 1, a second connector shell 2, and a cable 5. A plug 4 is provided at one end of the connection between the first connector shell 1 and the second connector shell 2, and the plug 4 engages with the first connector shell 1 and the second connector shell 2. The plug 4 is electrically connected to the cable 5. Two semi-circular connecting rings 9 are provided at the other end of both the first connector shell 1 and the second connector shell 2, and the semi-circular connecting rings 9 are integrally formed with the first connector shell 1 and the second connector shell 2. The outer wall of the semi-circular connecting ring 9 is provided with an external thread 11. A locking cap 6 is provided on the outside of the semi-circular connecting ring 9 and is located outside the cable 5. An internal thread 12 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the locking cap 6 and is provided corresponding to the external thread 11. The locking cap 6 is threadedly connected to the semi-circular connecting ring 9. A positioning groove 15 is provided on the first connector shell 1 and is provided corresponding to the cable 5. A fixing clip 10 is provided above the positioning groove 15 and is connected to the first connector shell 1 by screws. The fixing clip 10 is U-shaped.

[0026] In use: Connect the plug 4 to the cable 5. First, engage the plug 4 with the first connector shell 1. Then, press the cable 5 into the positioning groove 15 and lead it out along the semi-circular connecting ring 9. Use the fixing clip 10 to fix the cable 5 pressed into the positioning groove 15. Then, connect the second connector shell 2 to the plug 4 and the cable 5 in the same way. Connect the locking cap 6 to the semi-circular connecting ring 9 to limit the spliced ​​first connector shell 1 and second connector shell 2, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the wire harness connector structure.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The first connector shell 1 has four positioning holes 8 on its end face. The second connector shell 2 has four protruding posts 14 on its inner side. The protruding posts 14 are integrated with the second connector shell 2 and are corresponding to the positioning holes 8. The protruding posts 14 are inserted into the first connector shell 1. The other end of the locking cap 6 has a sealing ring 13 inside and is integrated with the locking cap 6. The sealing ring 13 is located outside the cable 5 and fits against the cable 5. The protruding posts 14 are inserted into the positioning holes 8 and play a positioning role when the second connector shell 2 and the first connector shell 1 are spliced. This allows for quick and accurate connection between the second connector shell 2 and the first connector shell 1. It also limits the spliced ​​wire harness connector structure and improves the stability of the wire harness connector structure. The sealing ring 13 fills the gap between the locking cap 6 and the cable 5 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the cable 5 and the wire harness connector structure.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Both sides of the first connector shell 1 and the second connector shell 2 are provided with anti-slip plates 3, and the anti-slip plates 3 are closely connected to the first connector shell 1 and the second connector shell 2. The front end of the first connector shell 1 and the second connector shell 2 are provided with two sockets 7, and the two sockets 7 are located on both sides of the plug 4. The cross-section of the socket 7 is an isosceles trapezoid. The anti-slip plates 3 increase the friction of the connector shell surface, making it easier for users to plug and unplug the wire harness connector structure. The sockets 7 can be set to correspond to the plugs on the car socket. When the connector is connected to the socket, the plug is aligned with the socket 7 and inserted, which can play a positioning and limiting role for the wire harness connector and improve the connection effect between the wire harness connector and the car socket.

[0029] Working principle: The plug 4 is connected to the cable 5. First, the plug 4 is engaged with the first connector shell 1. Then, the cable 5 is pressed into the positioning groove 15 and led out along the semi-circular connecting ring 9. The fixing clip 10 is used to fix the cable 5 pressed into the positioning groove 15. Then, the second connector shell 2 is connected to the plug 4 and the cable 5 in the same manner. The protruding post 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 8, serving a positioning function when the second connector shell 2 and the first connector shell 1 are joined. The locking cap 6 is connected to the semi-circular connecting ring 9, securing the joined first connector shell 1 and the second connector shell 2. The two connector shells 2 are used for limiting the position, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the wire harness connector structure; the sealing ring 13 fills the gap between the locking cap 6 and the cable 5, ensuring the sealing of the connection between the cable 5 and the wire harness connector structure; the anti-slip plate 3 increases the friction on the surface of the connector shell, making it easier for users to plug and unplug the wire harness connector structure; the socket 7 can be set to correspond to the plug block set on the car socket. When the connector is connected to the socket, the plug block is aligned with the socket 7 and inserted, which can play a positioning and limiting role for the wire harness connector, improving the connection effect between the wire harness connector and the car socket.
