Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire harness connector technology, and in particular to an automotive wire harness connector. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the continuous improvement of automotive electronics, automotive wiring harnesses, as an important component of the vehicle's internal electrical system, directly affect the safety, comfort, and durability of the entire vehicle through their performance and reliability. As the interface between the wiring harness and various electronic components, the design quality of automotive wiring harness connectors directly affects the transmission efficiency of electrical signals and the stability of the system.

[0003] Current wiring harness connectors use a wedge-shaped clip for connection, which is simple and stable. However, it has drawbacks: one of the wedge-shaped clips can move, allowing it to separate from the fixed wedge-shaped clip to separate the male and female connectors. However, the movable wedge-shaped clip requires the operator to use their fingernail to move it, which can sometimes cause fingernail pain. Disassembly is difficult, and sometimes even a flathead screwdriver is needed to separate it. Installation is simple, but disassembly is cumbersome and can lead to breakage due to excessive force. Therefore, this application proposes a new type of automotive wiring harness connector that is easy to install and disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an automotive wiring harness connector.

[0005] An embodiment of this utility model provides an automotive wiring harness connector, comprising:

[0006] Female plug, male plug;

[0007] A locking assembly for locking a female plug and a male plug together; the locking assembly includes a first groove and a second groove respectively provided on the female plug and the male plug, two mounting rods are fixedly connected in the second groove, and a locking block capable of resetting is rotatably connected to the two mounting rods, the locking block is provided with a wedge-shaped groove, and a wedge block is fixedly connected in the first groove, the wedge block being located in the wedge groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a rubber sealing ring is fixed to the inner wall of the female plug, and when the female plug and the male plug are inserted together, the male plug abuts against the rubber sealing ring.

[0009] Furthermore, a shaft is rotatably connected to the two mounting rods, the shaft passes through the locking block and is fixedly connected to it, and a torsion spring is installed between the shaft and the mounting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the wedge-shaped groove is configured to cooperate with the wedge-shaped block.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking component is flush with the outer wall of the female plug and the male plug.

[0012] Furthermore, the first groove and the second groove are arranged opposite to each other.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model allows the two locking blocks to be pressed relative to each other, causing the locking blocks to disengage from the wedge-shaped block. The male and female plugs can be disassembled by moving them in opposite directions. The operation is simple and convenient, avoiding the drawbacks of the prior art, which requires the operator to use their fingernails to move them, making it difficult to separate them, or even requiring the use of a flat-headed screwdriver. It is also not easy to break during use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing specific implementations only and is not intended to limit the exemplary implementations according to this application.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and are not limited in number; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an automotive wiring harness connector, comprising:

[0023] The female plug 1 and the male plug 2 are connected together. The inner wall of the female plug 1 is fixed with a rubber sealing ring 5. When the female plug 1 and the male plug 2 are plugged together, the male plug 2 abuts against the rubber sealing ring 5, which can ensure the sealing between the two and prevent water from seeping into the female plug 1 and the male plug 2, causing a short circuit.

[0024] A locking assembly that locks the female plug 1 and the male plug 2 together is flush with the outer wall of the female plug 1 and the male plug 2. The locking assembly includes a first groove 3 and a second groove 4 respectively provided on the female plug 1 and the male plug 2, and the first groove 3 and the second groove 4 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0025] Two mounting rods 6 are fixedly connected inside the second groove 4. A locking block 8 that can be reset is rotatably connected to the two mounting rods 6. A shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the two mounting rods 6. The shaft 7 passes through the locking block 8 and is fixedly connected to it. A torsion spring is installed between the shaft 7 and the mounting rods 6. The shaft 7 and the locking block 8 can be reset by the torsion spring.

[0026] The locking block 8 is provided with a wedge groove 10, and a wedge block 9 is fixedly connected in the first groove 3. The wedge groove 10 and the wedge block 9 are matched and the wedge block 9 is located in the wedge groove 10.

[0027] When in use, insert the male plug 2 into the female plug 1. As the male plug 2 and the female plug 1 move relative to each other, the locking block 8 abuts against the wedge block 9. The male plug 2 and the female plug 1 continue to move relative to each other. At this time, the locking block 8 is limited by the wedge block 9 and rotates the shaft 7. At this time, the torsion spring generates torque.

[0028] When the locking block 8 disengages from the wedge block 9, the torsion spring causes the locking block 8 to reset, and the wedge block 9 is located in the wedge groove 10, thus locking the locking block 8 and the wedge block 9 together.

[0029] When it is necessary to disassemble the male plug 2 and the female plug 1, the operator presses the two locking blocks 8 relative to each other. The locking blocks 8 rotate around the shaft 7, causing the locking blocks 8 to disengage from the wedge block 9. In this way, the male plug 2 and the female plug 1 are no longer locked together. The male plug 2 and the female plug 1 can be disassembled by moving them in opposite directions. The operation is simple and convenient, avoiding the drawbacks of the existing technology that requires the operator to use their fingernails to move them, which is difficult and even requires the use of a flat-head screwdriver to separate them. It is also not easy to break during use.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
