[0038] Example

[0039] Reference Figure 1-2 A terminal wire connection structure for a sensor, used to connect a wire to the terminal of the sensor, including...

[0040] Housing 1, fixed to sensor 100;

[0041] The cover plate 2 is snapped and fixed to the housing 1. A wiring channel 4 is formed between the inner side of the cover plate 2 and the outer side of the housing 1. The middle part of the wiring channel 4 is a bent section.

[0042] Terminal 3 is fixed to the lower part of the outer side of the housing 1, and terminal 3 itself is connected to the PCB of sensor 100;

[0043] One end of the wire 200 is crimped to the terminal 3, and the other end passes through the wiring channel 4. The bent section of the wiring channel 4 can clamp the wire 200.

[0044] After the cover plate 2 is snapped and fixed to the housing 1, the bent section clamps the wire 200. If the sensor pulls or vibrates the wire 200 during use, clamping the wire 200 by the bent section can prevent the force on the wire 200 from being transmitted to the connection between the wire 200 and the terminal 3, thereby protecting the terminal 3, effectively preventing the wire 200 from falling off, and ensuring the safety of driving the car.

[0045] In one specific implementation, the terminal 3 has a U-shaped groove structure, with both ends bent inward to wrap the wire 200. Preferably, the terminal 3 is directly injection molded onto the housing 1 to ensure a stable connection between the terminal 3 and the housing 1. In actual use, the wire 200 is inserted into the terminal 3, and a special crimping device is used to crimp the terminal 3 into the desired shape. Figure 3The shape shown ensures that terminal 3 is completely locked to wire 200, preventing wire 200 from becoming loose.

[0046] In one specific implementation, the upper and lower parts of the wiring channel 4 are vertical sections, and the two vertical sections are connected by the bending section. The vertical sections facilitate the surface processing of the housing 1 and the cover plate 2, and also facilitate the design of the subsequent snap-fit ​​structure between the cover plate 2 and the housing 1.

[0047] In a specific implementation plan, refer to Figure 4-6 A snap-fit ​​structure is provided for the cover plate 2 and the housing 1;

[0048] The outer side of the housing 1 has side plates 11 on both sides, one of the side plates 11 has a slot 111, and the other side plate 11 has a guide groove 112 on its top.

[0049] A plug-in block 12 extends outward from the lower part of the outer side of the housing 1, and a T-shaped groove 121 is provided in the plug-in block 12;

[0050] One side of the cover plate 2 has a buckle 23 for fastening into the slot 111, and the other side of the cover plate 2 has a guide post 24 for inserting into the guide groove 112. The lower part of the inner side of the cover plate 2 has a T-shaped block 25 for inserting into the T-shaped groove 121.

[0051] After one end of the wire 200 is crimped to the terminal 3, the T-shaped block 25 of the cover plate 2 is aligned with the T-shaped groove 121 of the housing 1, and the guide post 24 is aligned with the guide groove 112. The cover plate 2 is pressed down until the buckle 23 is engaged in the slot 111, thus completing the snap-fit ​​fixing of the cover plate 2 and the housing 1. The cooperation between the T-shaped block 25 and the T-shaped groove 121 and the cooperation between the guide post 24 and the guide groove 112 can ensure that the cover plate 2 is smoothly inserted into the housing 1 and effectively prevent the cover plate 2 from shaking or tilting. The cooperation between the buckle 23 and the slot 111 can ensure that the cover plate 2 and the housing 1 are snap-fit ​​fixed.

[0052] In one specific implementation, the cover plate 2 includes an upper plate 21 and a lower plate 22, wherein the width of the upper plate 21 is greater than that of the lower plate 22;

[0053] One bottom end of the upper plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower plate 22, and the other bottom end is fixedly connected to the inner side of the lower plate 22 through a limiting block 26; the buckle 23 is a hook structure, fixed to the bottom of the upper plate 21, and extends outward.

[0054] The outer side of the housing 1 is inclined at the middle. The limiting block 26 is used to form a bending section of the wiring channel 4 with the outer side of the housing 1. Its contact surface with the wire 200 is also inclined. The limiting block 26 bends and presses the wire 200.

[0055] In one specific implementation, the top surface of the upper plate 21 has an opening groove 211, which is used to form a grouting groove 5 with the outer side of the housing 1. After grouting in the grouting groove, the wire 200, the housing 1 and the cover plate 2 can be fixed together, further preventing external pulling or vibration from affecting the connection between the wire 200 and the terminal 3.

[0056] In one specific implementation, the design is further based on a commonly used three-wire sensor; the number of terminals 3 is three, used to connect to three wires 200, with the middle terminal 3 located inside the plug block 12; two isolation blocks 13 extend outward from the upper part of the outer side of the housing 1, used to separate the three wires 200, so that the wires 200 are arranged in an orderly manner, preventing the wires 200 from tangling and interacting; the limiting block 26 is divided into three sections, which are used to clamp the three wires 200 respectively.

[0057] In one specific implementation, a reinforcing rib 26 is fixed on the inner side of the lower plate 22. The reinforcing rib 26 corresponds to the terminal 3, and the number and position are also corresponding. In this embodiment, three reinforcing ribs 26 are provided for the three terminals 3. The reinforcing rib 26 not only strengthens the cover plate 2, but also limits the terminals 3 and wires 200 to a certain extent, and further fixes the terminals and wires.

[0058] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
