[0059] The embodiment provides a branch connector, the terminal of the branch connector is connected with multiple cables through a cable connecting part, the overall volume of the branch connector is reduced, the production cost is reduced to a certain extent, and the tensile strength is high, and the stability of cable connection is improved.
[0060] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figures 4-6 The branch connector includes a base 100, a terminal 200, a main cable 300 and multiple branch cables 400.The base 100 is provided with a containing cavity 110 for filling glue, and the bottom wall of the containing cavity 110 is provided with a terminal positioning column 120.The terminal 200 includes a fixed plate 210 and a cable connecting part 220 connected with the fixed plate 210, and the fixed plate 210 is provided with a positioning hole 211 connected with the terminal positioning column 120.The core of the main cable 300 and the core of the multiple branch cables 400 are electrically connected together, and the cable connecting part 220 is rolled and riveted at the joint of the main cable 300 and the multiple branch cables 400.
[0061] The branch connector provided by the embodiment improves the tensile strength of the branch connector by matching the terminal positioning column 120 arranged on the base 100 with the positioning hole 211 on the terminal 200 of the fixed main cable 300 and branch cable 400, so that the risk of loose or disconnected connection between the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 is low, and the stability of the cable connection is high. Moreover, the main cable 300 and the plurality of branch cables 400 are fixed together through the cable connecting part 220 on the terminal 200, compared with the scheme of arranging one branch connecting part on the terminal 200 corresponding to each branch cable 400 in the prior art, the structure is simpler, the installation is more convenient, and the overall structure is more compact, which not only reduces the overall size of the branch connector, but also saves the production cost to a certain extent.
[0062] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 110 is further provided with a cable positioning column 130, and the branch cable 400 is arranged one by one corresponding to the cable positioning column 130. The end of the branch cable 400 connected with the main cable 300 has a bending part 410 matched with the cable positioning column 130, and the bending part 410 abuts against the cable positioning column 130 when the branch cable 400 is pulled.
[0063] For example, as shown in Figure 2 , when the main cable 300 is subjected to a right pulling force, the terminal positioning column 120 will abut against the terminal 200 to limit the movement of the terminal 200, thereby improving the anti-pulling function of the main cable 300 to a certain extent. When the branch cable 400 is subjected to a left pulling force, the cable positioning column 130 will abut against the branch cable 400 to limit the movement of the branch cable 400, thereby improving the anti-pulling function of the branch cable 400 to a certain extent.
[0064] Optionally, in one possible embodiment, the branch cable 400 is provided with two, and the cable positioning column 130 is provided with two. In another possible embodiment, the branch cable 400 is provided with three or four, and the cable positioning column 130 is provided with three or four correspondingly.

[0066] Specifically, first, the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 are placed in the state shown in Figure 6 , and then the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 are welded together through the welding process. Figure 5The cable connecting portion 220 is shown in the state, and then the cable connecting portion 220 is wound to fasten the cores of the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 together, at this time, the cores of the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 are in close contact. Then the cores of the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 can be integrated and solidified by a soldering process, so that reliable electrical connection between the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 can be achieved.
[0067] The electrical connection between the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 is achieved by riveting and welding, which greatly improves the reliability of the electrical connection between the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 compared with the scheme of achieving the electrical connection between the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 by riveting only or welding only.
[0068] Further, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one possible embodiment, the terminal positioning column 120 is inserted into the positioning hole 211 and riveted with the fixed plate 210. Specifically, the terminal positioning column 120 can be inserted into the positioning hole 211 first, and then the terminal 200 is fixed between the positioning column and the base 100 by using a cold riveting process. In this way, the installation strength of the terminal 200 is improved.
[0069] Alternatively, in another possible embodiment, only the terminal positioning column 120 can be inserted into the positioning hole 211, and in this way, the terminal 200 can also be fixed, and the installation is simpler.
[0070] Alternatively, the material of the terminal 200 can be steel, which has higher strength and lower cost compared with the conventional terminal 200 made of copper.
[0071] Further, as shown in Figures 9-15 In one possible embodiment, the branch connector further includes a wire pressing buckle 500, the wire pressing buckle 500 is arranged at the opening of the accommodating cavity 110, and the wire pressing buckle 500 and the base 100 jointly act to clamp and fix the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400.
[0072] Specifically, the wire pressing buckle 500 is provided with a main wire pressing wall 510 and a branch wire pressing wall 520 at two ends respectively, the main wire pressing wall 510 is provided with a first main wire pressing groove, the branch wire pressing wall 520 is provided with a first branch wire pressing groove corresponding to the branch cable 400 one by one, the base 100 is provided with a second main wire pressing groove 140 corresponding to the first main wire pressing groove, and a second branch wire pressing groove 150 corresponding to the first branch wire pressing groove one by one, and the first main wire pressing groove and the second main wire pressing groove 140 form a closed main wire pressing hole 600 (as shown in Figure 10The first and second voltage division wire grooves 150 enclose a closed voltage division wire hole 700 (as shown in FIG. 1) for fixing the branch cable 400. Figure 11
[0073] Further, two first limiting convex ribs 610 in a circular shape are arranged on the inner circumferential wall of the main voltage wire hole 600 at intervals, the first limiting convex ribs 610 are in interference fit with the main cable 300, a plurality of first limiting convex protrusions 611 are arranged on each of the first limiting convex ribs 610, the first limiting convex protrusions 611 are in interference fit with the main cable 300, and the plurality of first limiting convex protrusions 611 on the two first limiting convex ribs 610 are arranged in a staggered manner. Figure 15 As shown in FIG. 1, after the first limiting convex rib 610 and the first limiting convex protrusion 611 on the first limiting convex rib 610 are in interference fit with the main cable 300, annular indentations with a depth of L1 and punctiform indentations with a depth of L2 are formed on the main cable 300, which further improves the sealing performance between the main voltage wire hole 600 and the main cable 300. The staggered arrangement of the first limiting convex protrusions 611 on the two first limiting convex ribs 610 can avoid the concentration of indentations at a deeper position on the main cable 300, thereby reducing the risk of damage and rupture of the insulation layer of the main cable 300 at the indentation position.
[0074] Optionally, in the embodiment, two second limiting convex ribs 710 in a circular shape are arranged on the inner circumferential wall of the voltage division wire hole 700 at intervals, the second limiting convex ribs 710 are in interference fit with the branch cable 400, a plurality of second limiting convex protrusions 711 are arranged on each of the second limiting convex ribs 710, the second limiting convex protrusions 711 are in interference fit with the branch cable 400, and the plurality of second limiting convex protrusions 711 on the two second limiting convex ribs 710 are arranged in a staggered manner. The second limiting convex ribs 710 and the second limiting convex protrusions 711 can elastically seal branch cables 400 with different diameters within a certain range, and have high adaptability. Further, after the second limiting convex rib 710 and the second limiting convex protrusion 711 on the second limiting convex rib 710 are in interference fit with the branch cable 400, annular indentations and punctiform indentations with different depths are formed on the branch cable 400, which further improves the sealing performance between the voltage division wire hole 700 and the branch cable 400. The staggered arrangement of the second limiting convex protrusions 711 on the two second limiting convex ribs 710 can avoid the concentration of indentations at a deeper position on the branch cable 400, thereby reducing the risk of damage and rupture of the insulation layer of the branch cable 400 at the indentation position.
[0075] Optionally, the first limiting protrusion 611 can be a trapezoidal tooth structure, so that the point-like bite marks on the main cable 300 have the characteristics of middle deep and both sides shallow, the range of the line diameter of the main cable 300 that can be adapted to a certain extent is larger, more sizes of the main cable 300 can be elastically sealed, and the universality is higher.
[0076] Optionally, the second limiting protrusion 711 can also be a trapezoidal tooth structure, so that the point-like bite marks on the branch cable 400 have the characteristics of middle deep and both sides shallow, the range of the line diameter of the branch cable 400 that can be adapted to a certain extent is larger, more sizes of the branch cable 400 can be elastically sealed, and the universality is higher.
[0077] Optionally, as shown in Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figures 16-18 in another possible embodiment, the branch connector further comprises a wire pressing buckle 500, the wire pressing buckle 500 is arranged at the opening of the accommodating cavity 110, and the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 are clamped between the wire pressing buckle 500 and the base 100. Through the cooperation of the wire pressing buckle 500 and the base 100, the anti-pulling performance of the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 can be improved.
[0078] Specifically, on the base 100, a fusion surface 111 is arranged around the opening of the accommodating cavity 110, the fusion surface 111 is provided with a fusion rib 1111, and the wire pressing buckle 500 is provided with a fusion protrusion 530 matched with the fusion surface 111, and the bottom surface of the fusion protrusion 530 is fused to the fusion rib 1111. The connection between the wire pressing buckle 500 and the base 100 is realized by fusion, on the one hand, the connection strength is high, and the structural stability of the branch connector is improved; on the other hand, the sealing performance is better.
[0079] Further, referring to Figure 18 , on the base 100, a first inner step structure 112 is arranged around the fusion surface 111, and the wire pressing buckle 500 forms a first outer step structure 540 around the fusion rib 1111, and the first outer step structure 540 is gap matched with the first inner step structure 112. If a gap appears between the fusion protrusion 530 and the fusion rib 1111 due to incomplete fusion, the colloid in the accommodating cavity 110 of the base 100 needs to flow along the gap between the first outer step structure 540 and the first inner step structure 112 (as shown by the arrow in the middle), which makes the overflow path of the colloid more complex, and it is difficult for the colloid to overflow to the outside of the product by its own tension, reducing the risk of colloid overflow. Figure 18
[0080] Further, as shown in Figure 9 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in other possible embodiments, the branch connector further comprises a wire pressing buckle 500, which is arranged at the opening of the accommodating cavity 110, and the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 are clamped between the wire pressing buckle 500 and the base 100. Through the cooperation of the wire pressing buckle 500 and the base 100, the anti-pulling performance of the main cable 300 and the branch cable 400 can be improved.
[0081] Specifically, the middle part of the wire pressing buckle 500 is provided with a glue pouring port 550, and a box cover 800 is arranged at the glue pouring port 550. The side of the box cover 800 facing the accommodating cavity 110 is provided with a first protruding part 810. Through the arrangement of the first protruding part 810, in the process of closing the box cover 800, the first protruding part 810 first contacts the glue in the accommodating cavity 110, and the glue is squeezed to both sides in the closing process, so that the air in the accommodating cavity 110 is discharged, the glue surface rises, and the full glue in the accommodating cavity 110 is realized, thereby improving the glue filling yield. Moreover, the arrangement of the first protruding part 810 increases the contact area between the box cover 800 and the glue, and improves the heat dissipation performance of the branch connector.
[0082] Optionally, in a possible embodiment, the material of the box cover 800 can be metal, and the first protruding part 810 of the box cover 800 can be formed on the box cover 800 by stamping, which is simple in process and convenient to process. In another possible embodiment, the material of the box cover 800 can also be plastic, and the box cover 800 can be formed by injection molding. In other embodiments, the processing mode of the box cover 800 can also be other, which can be selected according to actual needs, and the present application does not make specific limitation.
[0083] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 17 , a second protruding part 113 can also be arranged on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 110. Through the arrangement of the second protruding part 113, the contact area between the base 100 and the glue is increased, and the heat dissipation performance of the branch connector is further improved. Moreover, the volume of the accommodating cavity 110 is reduced, and the glue filling amount of the branch connector is further reduced, thereby reducing the material cost.
[0084] Optionally, the base 100 can be processed and formed by injection molding. The process is simple and convenient to process.
[0085] Further, as shown in Figure 9 , Figure 16 and Figure 19As shown, an annular groove 560 is provided on the outer edge of the glue inlet 550 on the snap fastener 500. The annular groove 560 and the glue inlet 550 form a second inner step structure 570. A second outer step structure 820 is provided on the lid 800, and the second outer step structure 820 and the second inner step structure 570 are fitted together with a clearance. With this arrangement, during the process of closing the lid 800, the glue in the receiving cavity 110 needs to flow along the fitting gap between the second outer step structure 820 and the second inner step structure 570. Figure 19 (As indicated by the middle arrow), this makes the overflow path of the adhesive more complex, making it difficult for the adhesive to overflow to the outside of the product due to its own tension. This reduces the risk of adhesive overflow and solves the problem of adhesive overflow during transportation after product filling or due to tilting of the product before the adhesive has cured, thereby improving production yield. Furthermore, the adhesive overflowing into the second outer step structure 820 and the second inner step structure 570 can also play an adhesive role between the cover 800 and the wire clamp 500, which helps to improve the connection strength between the cover 800 and the wire clamp 500, thereby improving the structural stability of the branch connector.
[0086] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 and Figure 16 As shown, the glue inlet 550 has clips 580 on both opposite side walls, and the cover 800 has corresponding slots 830 at opposite ends, which engage with the corresponding clips 580. The cover 800 and the wire clamp 500 are connected by this snap-fit mechanism, resulting in a simple structure that is easy to install.
[0087] Optionally, multiple slots 830 can be provided, and each slot 830 is provided with a corresponding buckle 580 to improve the connection strength between the cover 800 and the wire clamp 500.
[0088] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
