DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] The present application discloses a plastic end cover of a starter electromagnetic switch, referring to Figure 1 , comprising a cover body, a plurality of terminal posts corresponding to the electromagnetic switch are arranged on the cover body, the threaded studs of the electromagnetic switch extend to the outside of the cover body through the terminal posts, and are connected to the wiring harness through nuts, a plurality of water vapor grooves are arranged on the end surface of the terminal post, which not only assists the evaporation of water permeating into the nut, but also increases the surface friction to prevent the nut from loosening.
[0023] Referring to Figure 1 , 2 , the inner circle of the terminal post accommodates a sealing ring, the end wall of the sealing ring protrudes from the terminal post, and the protruding side of the sealing ring gradually thins from the inside to the outside, when the sealing ring is pressed from the outside, the protruding part is compressed and expanded horizontally, thereby better sealing effect is generated by the combination of the threaded stud.
[0024] Referring to Figure 1 , 3 , an isolation structure elastically connected to the cover body is arranged between the terminal posts, the isolation structure comprises an elastic rubber column and a hard isolation plate, the elastic rubber column extends from the center of the terminal post to between the adjacent terminal posts, thereby the terminal posts are divided to achieve insulation effect, the elastic rubber column is fixed to the cover body, the lateral end of the elastic rubber column is arc-shaped, so that the elastic rubber column has elasticity, and the arc-shaped connection with the cover body has better vertical stability than the linear connection, preventing the transmission of automobile shaking.
[0025] Referring to Figure 1 , 3 , and the length of the elastic rubber column is not longer than that of the terminal post, thereby preventing the installation tool from contacting the elastic rubber column to generate resistance and hinder installation; the hard isolation plate is fixed to the extension end of the elastic rubber column and extends outward, the friction force of the installation tool on the surface of the hard object is small, and the elastic rubber column at the rear end has elasticity and can be deformed, thereby facilitating installation, and the outward extension of the hard isolation plate makes the upper insulation end extend to the side of the wiring harness, so that the water between the terminal posts cannot form a closed circuit and cannot be conducted.
[0026] Referring to Figure 1 , 3A parallel post is arranged below one side of the terminal post and fixed to the cover and connected in parallel with the corresponding terminal post. An electric connection structure is connected between the end faces of the terminal post and the parallel post. The electric connection structure comprises a water guide fin, an elastic contact, a containing groove and a water-proof connecting piece. The water guide fin is inserted into the bottom end of the side wall of the terminal post for positioning. One end of the water guide fin corresponds to the end face of the terminal post, and the other end extends along the side wall of the terminal post. The bottom of the water guide fin extends obliquely downwards away from the end of the parallel post. One end of the water-proof connecting piece corresponds to the end wall of the parallel post, and the other end extends upwards and is fixed to the water guide fin. The water-proof connecting piece is fixed to the uppermost end of the bottom wall of the water guide fin. When water column is attached to the terminal post, the water column will quickly gather at the end away from the parallel post along the water guide fin and drip down, so as to avoid the water from gathering on the water-proof connecting piece and affecting the stability of the electric connection.
[0027] Referring to Figure 1 , 3 The elastic contact is fixed to the water guide fin and arranged at the end wall of the terminal post corresponding to the terminal post. The elastic contact extends away from the cover. The containing groove is arranged in the end wall of the terminal post. The elastic contact can be contained in the containing groove, so as to enhance the integration of the elastic contact and the terminal post, keep good contact between the elastic contact and the nut, and improve the structural stability.
[0028] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the present application shall be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
