Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle OBD equipment technology, specifically an OBD device applied to the Internet of Vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] The vehicle's OBD interface is usually located in the area under the driver's feet or in the center armrest. The specific location may vary depending on the vehicle model. For example, it may be located in the interior panel below the steering wheel, under the dashboard, in the engine compartment, next to the driver's side door, or below the ashtray in front of the gear shift lever. It may also be located in the passenger foot space, under the storage compartment, near the center armrest, or inside the center console.

[0003] Vehicle OBD interfaces are commonly used to connect devices for real-time viewing of vehicle data and reading fault codes, facilitating vehicle repair, function development, and equipment modification. They can also monitor engine status, control the vehicle's electronic control system, and monitor the operational status of other functional modules while the vehicle is in motion. For older vehicles without vehicle networking capabilities, a specialized vehicle-to-everything (V2X) OBD device can be connected via the OBD interface, enabling the vehicle to connect to the internet for uploading vehicle information and remotely controlling functions such as starting the engine and turning on the air conditioning. Currently, such V2X OBD devices are readily available on various platforms. However, existing V2X devices suffer from a problem: the functions of each pin on the OBD interface vary between different vehicle models and manufacturers, resulting in poor applicability. Therefore, an improved V2X OBD device is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an OBD device for use in vehicle networking, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an OBD device for vehicle networking, comprising an OBD interface, a slot on the surface of the OBD interface, an OBD plug on one side of the OBD interface, a wireless communication module on one side of the OBD plug, a plurality of pins inside the OBD plug, and a connection mechanism for electrically connecting the pins and the wireless communication module between the wireless communication module and the pins, the connection mechanism comprising wires, conductive posts, and conductive sleeves, a plurality of wires uniformly fixed on the surface of the wireless communication module, a conductive post fixed at one end of each wire, and a conductive sleeve fixedly disposed inside the OBD plug on one side of the pins.

[0006] Preferably, the wireless communication module is electrically connected to the conductive post via a wire, and the pin is electrically connected to the conductive sleeve; the data of the wireless communication module is transmitted or received via the wire and the conductive post.

[0007] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the OBD plug is chamfered, which makes it easy to insert the OBD plug onto the outer surface of the OBD interface.

[0008] Preferably, a positioning plate is fixedly provided in the middle of the inner side of the OBD plug, and a positioning groove is provided in the middle of the inner side of the OBD interface. When the OBD plug is inserted into the OBD interface, the positioning plate can be inserted into the positioning groove, thereby improving the connection stability between the OBD plug and the OBD interface.

[0009] Preferably, the surface of the wireless communication module is fixedly provided with a latch, and the surface of the OBD plug is fixedly provided with a locking lug. The wireless communication module and the OBD plug can be stably fixed together by the locking lug and the latch, and the excess wire can be stored in the cavity inside the OBD plug.

[0010] Preferably, the OBD plug has a cavity on one side inside, which can be used to store wires. Since the conductive post of this device may need to be connected to different conductive sleeves, the wire length of this device needs to be redundant and longer. This cavity can be used to store the longer wires.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] Because the OBD plug and the wireless communication module are separate, and are electrically connected via conductive posts and conductive sleeves, the OBD plug and the wireless communication module can be freely assembled when facing OBD interface slots with different functions, ensuring normal data transmission; thus, the applicability of the device is improved.

[0013] When dealing with different vehicles, if the OBD interface shape is different, the wireless communication module will not become unusable. Since the wireless communication module and the OBD plug can be separated, you can simply purchase an OBD plug that matches the shape of the vehicle, thus avoiding waste of the wireless communication module.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an OBD device for vehicle networking, including an OBD interface 1, a slot 2 on the surface of the OBD interface 1, an OBD plug 3 on one side of the OBD interface 1, a wireless communication module 4 on one side of the OBD plug 3, a plurality of pins 5 inside the OBD plug 3, and a connection mechanism for electrically connecting the pins 5 and the wireless communication module 4 between the wireless communication module 4 and the pins 5, the connection mechanism including wires 6, conductive posts 7, and conductive sleeves 8, a plurality of wires 6 uniformly fixed on the surface of the wireless communication module 4, a conductive post 7 fixed at one end of each wire 6, and a conductive sleeve 8 fixedly disposed inside the OBD plug 3 on one side of the pins 5.

[0021] The wireless communication module 4 is electrically connected to the conductive post 7 via the wire 6, and the pin 5 is electrically connected to the conductive sleeve 8; the data of the wireless communication module 4 is transmitted or received via the wire 6 and the conductive post 7.

[0022] The inner sidewall of the OBD plug 3 is provided with a chamfer 9, which allows the OBD plug 3 to be easily inserted into the outer surface of the OBD interface 1.

[0023] A positioning plate 10 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the OBD plug 3, and a positioning groove 11 is opened in the middle of the inner side of the OBD interface 1. When the OBD plug 3 is inserted into the OBD interface 1, the positioning plate 10 can be inserted into the positioning groove 11, thereby improving the connection stability between the OBD plug 3 and the OBD interface 1.

[0024] The wireless communication module 4 is fixedly provided with a latch 12, and the OBD plug 3 is fixedly provided with a locking lug 13. The wireless communication module 4 and the OBD plug 3 can be stably fixed together by the locking lug 13 and the latch 12, and the excess wire 6 can be stored in the cavity 14 inside the OBD plug 3.

[0025] The OBD plug 3 has a cavity 14 on one side inside, which can be used to store the wire 6. Since the conductive post 7 of this device may need to be connected to different conductive sleeves 8, the wire 6 of this device needs to be redundant and longer. This cavity 14 can be used to store this longer part of the wire 6.

[0026] Working principle: When using this device, the OBD interface 1 is generally provided on the vehicle. This application document shows it to facilitate understanding of the use of this device. Then, when connecting, simply plug and connect the OBD interface 1 and the OBD plug 3, so that the slot 2 of the OBD interface 1 and the pin 5 of the OBD plug 3 are connected.

[0027] At this time, the OBD interface 1 of different vehicles may have the same shape, but the function of each slot 2 may be different. Since the OBD plug 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are separate, and the OBD plug 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are electrically connected through the conductive post 7 and the conductive sleeve 8, the conductive post 7 can be inserted into any conductive sleeve as needed. In this way, when facing the slot 2 of the OBD interface 1 with different functions, this device can freely assemble the wireless communication module 4 and the pins 5 to ensure that data can be transmitted normally. This can improve the applicability of this device.

[0028] When dealing with different vehicles, if the shape of the OBD interface 1 is different, the wireless communication module 4 will not become unusable. Since the wireless communication module 4 and the OBD plug 3 can be separated, you can simply purchase an OBD plug 3 that matches the shape of the vehicle, thus avoiding waste of the wireless communication module 4.
