DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] The present application provides a grounding terminal 100, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the grounding terminal provided in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure; Figure 2 is Figure 1 the bottom view schematic diagram of the grounding terminal shown in. The grounding terminal 100 includes a conductive body 110 and a plurality of connecting terminals 120.

[0053] The conductive body 110 is used for conductive connection with the vehicle body.

[0054] The conductive body 110 is the core part of the grounding terminal 100, which is used for conductive connection with the vehicle body, which means that the conductive body 110 can effectively transmit current from the grounding terminal 100 to the vehicle body, ensuring stable and reliable grounding connection of the entire electrical system. By ensuring that the conductive body 110 is used for conductive connection with the vehicle body, the conductive body 110 helps to prevent voltage fluctuations and electromagnetic interference in the electrical system, improving the stability and safety of the electrical system.

[0055] The plurality of connection terminals 120 are integrally arranged with the conductive body 110, and are arranged at intervals. The plurality of connection terminals 120 are used for electrical connection with the wire harness terminals 200. The plurality of connection terminals 120 are integrally arranged with the conductive body 110 and arranged at intervals. This design allows the bonding terminal 100 to simultaneously connect with multiple wire harness terminals 200, thereby meeting the needs of complex electrical systems. Each connection terminal 120 has independent electrical connection functions and can be paired with different wire harness terminals 200. This design not only improves the flexibility of the bonding terminal 100, but also enhances the reliability and stability of electrical connection. Through the plurality of connection terminals 120, the bonding terminal 100 can efficiently distribute current, reduce the load of each connection point, and reduce the risk of electrical failure. At the same time, the interval arrangement of the connection terminals 120 helps to prevent electrical interference and short circuit problems.

[0056] It should be noted that the types of the plurality of connection terminals 120 can be selected as needed. For example, the plurality of connection terminals 120 can include at least one of a pin, a male head, and a female head. In particular, the present application does not limit this.

[0057] In the bonding terminal 100 of the present application, the plurality of connection terminals 120 are integrally arranged with the conductive body 110. This design eliminates the use of connecting parts, thereby reducing the number of connection points and reducing contact resistance. Since the connection terminals 120 are integral with the conductive body 110, this design allows more connection terminals 120 to be arranged within the limited size of the conductive body 110, thereby increasing the connection capacity with the bonding wire harness. The integrated design reduces the number of installation steps and the number of components required, thereby simplifying the installation process. In addition, since the connection terminals 120 are integral with the conductive body 110, there is no need to worry about the problem of loose or damaged connecting parts. Since the number of connection points is reduced, the potential failure points are also reduced, which makes the maintenance and inspection process simpler and faster. The reduced contact resistance and the increased number of connection terminals 120 together improve the overall performance of the electrical system. The integrated design and the reduced number of connection points improve the reliability of the system. The risk of electrical failure due to poor or loose connection is reduced.

[0058] Reference Figure 1In some embodiments, the conductive body 110 includes a fixed portion 111, a connecting portion 112, and a mounting portion 113 arranged in sequence along a first direction, and the connecting portion 112 is connected between the fixed portion 111 and the mounting portion 113, so that the conductive body 110 forms a stable structural framework. This design not only enhances the overall structural strength of the conductive body 110, but also ensures its stability during installation and use. The fixed portion 111 and the mounting portion 113 are arranged in a spaced manner along a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are arranged in an intersecting manner. In this way, the spaced arrangement of the fixed portion 111 and the mounting portion 113 along the second direction helps to disperse stress, so that the conductive body 110 can better resist deformation when subjected to external forces, reducing the risk of structural damage caused by excessive local stress on the conductive body 110. In addition, the spaced arrangement of the fixed portion 111 and the mounting portion 113 along the second direction can also prevent other components such as the wire harness terminal 200 or the sheath 300 connected to the lacing terminal 100 from being damaged by friction with the vehicle body when the conductive sheet is connected to the vehicle body. The first side of the fixed portion 111 away from the mounting portion 113 is used to abut the vehicle body. This design also ensures the close connection between the conductive body 110 and the vehicle body, which helps to improve the reliability of the electrical connection. The mounting portion 113 is connected to a plurality of connecting terminals 120. This design allows the conductive body 110 to simultaneously connect to multiple wire harness terminals 200, thereby meeting the needs of complex electrical systems.

[0059] It should be noted that the connection method of the fixed portion 111, the connecting portion 112, and the mounting portion 113 can be selected as needed. For example, in an embodiment, the fixed portion 111, the connecting portion 112, and the mounting portion 113 can be formed by welding. In other embodiments, the fixed portion 111, the connecting portion 112, and the mounting portion 113 can be integrally formed. Specifically, the present application does not limit this.

[0060] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the fixed portion 111 is provided with a mounting hole 1111 for inserting a connecting member to connect the conductive body 110 to the vehicle body through the connecting member. In this way, the design of the mounting hole 1111 allows the connecting member to be easily inserted and fixedly connected to the vehicle body, thereby achieving quick connection of the conductive body 110 to the vehicle body. This design simplifies the installation process and improves work efficiency. By connecting the conductive body 110 and the vehicle body through the connecting member, the connection strength between the conductive body 110 and the vehicle body can be significantly improved. This design allows the conductive body 110 to better maintain its position when subjected to external forces, thereby improving the stability of the entire electrical system. The design of the mounting hole 1111 also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement work. If the conductive body 110 or the connecting member needs to be replaced, it can be easily removed by loosening the connecting member, without the need for complex disassembly work.

[0061] The mounting hole 1111 is arranged through the first side in the second direction, so as to facilitate the installation of the connecting member and simplify the structure of the fixing portion 111. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting hole 1111 can also be arranged through the fixing portion 111 in the first direction. Specifically, the present application does not limit this.

[0062] It should be noted that the connecting member can be selected as needed, for example, in an embodiment, the connecting member can include a bolt and a nut. In another embodiment, the connecting member can include a pin shaft. In other embodiments, the connecting member can include a screw. In addition, the material of the connecting member can include an insulating material, for example, plastic or rubber. The material of the connecting member can also include a conductive material, for example, metal. Specifically, the connecting member is selected to be a metal with small contact resistance, for example, copper, copper alloy, silver alloy or aluminum alloy, etc. Specifically, the present application does not limit this.

[0063] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the bonding terminal 100 further includes a reinforcing rib 130 connected to at least one of the fixing portion 111, the connecting portion 112 and the mounting portion 113. The design of the reinforcing rib 130 significantly enhances the overall mechanical strength of the conductive body 110. The reinforcing rib 130 is connected to at least one of the fixing portion 111, the connecting portion 112 and the mounting portion 113, so that the reinforcing rib 130 can disperse and resist external forces, such as tension, pressure or torsion. This enhanced mechanical strength makes the conductive body 110 more stable when subjected to external forces, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by external forces. During the electrical connection process, the bonding terminal 100 can generate a certain amount of heat. The design of the reinforcing rib 130 helps to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0064] It should be noted that referring to Figure 1The reinforcing ribs 130 are connected to the fixing part 111, the connecting part 112, and the mounting part 113. In this way, the reinforcing ribs 130 are connected to the fixing part 111, the connecting part 112, and the mounting part 113, forming a more stable overall structure. This design significantly enhances the bending resistance, torsion resistance, and shear resistance of the clamping terminal 100, making the conductive main body 110 more stable when subjected to external forces. Through the overall connection of the reinforcing ribs 130 and various components, external loads can be more effectively dispersed and resisted, and this design makes the stress distribution more uniform, avoiding structural damage caused by stress concentration. At the same time, the connection of the reinforcing ribs 130 can also increase the stiffness of the structure, further improving the load-bearing capacity of the structure. The overall connection design of the reinforcing ribs 130 also helps to improve the heat dissipation performance of the clamping terminal 100. Through the connection with the fixing part 111, the connecting part 112, and the mounting part 113, the reinforcing ribs 130 can form a more compact and effective heat dissipation structure, which helps to dissipate the generated heat more quickly, prolonging the service life of the clamping terminal 100.

[0065] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, multiple reinforcing ribs 130 are provided, and the multiple reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals. In this way, external loads can be more effectively dispersed and resisted, reducing structural damage caused by concentrated stress, and additionally, the overall strength and rigidity of the conductive main body 110 can be significantly improved. The interval arrangement of the multiple reinforcing ribs 130 can increase the deformation resistance of the structure, and when subjected to external forces, the reinforcing ribs 130 can limit the deformation range of the structure, maintaining the shape and dimensional stability of the structure.

[0066] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the mounting part 113 includes at least two mounting segments 1131, which are arranged at intervals along the second direction and are connected to the connecting part 112. Each mounting segment 1131 is provided with a connection terminal 120. In this way, it is helpful to optimize the heat dissipation performance. The connection terminal 120 may generate heat during operation, and the interval distribution of the multiple mounting segments 1131 helps to reduce local overheating, improving the heat dissipation efficiency and service life of the clamping terminal 100. The design of the multiple mounting segments 1131 and the connection terminal 120 can also improve the electrical performance.

[0067] It should be noted that the number of mounting segments 1131 can be two, three, four, or even more. Specifically, the number of mounting segments 1131 is set as needed, and the present application does not limit it. In addition, the number of connection terminals 120 provided on each mounting segment 1131 can be one, two, three, or more. Specifically, the number of connection terminals 120 provided on each mounting segment 1131 can be set as needed, and the present application does not limit it.

[0068] With reference to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the mounting portion 113 further comprises at least one connecting segment 1132 that connects the at least two mounting segments 1131 into one, so that the at least one connecting segment 1132 and the at least two mounting segments 1131 form a more stable overall structure. This design enhances the rigidity and strength of the mounting portion 113, making it more stable when subjected to external forces. By connecting the mounting segments 1131 together through the connecting segment 1132, external loads can be more effectively dispersed and resisted. This design makes the stress distribution more uniform, avoiding structural damage caused by stress concentration. At the same time, the presence of the connecting segment 1132 can also increase the redundancy of the structure, further improving the reliability of the structure. The connecting segment 1132 not only connects the mounting segments 1131 together, but also ensures electrical connection between the connecting terminals 120 on each mounting segment 1131. This design reduces the risk of electrical failure and damage caused by poor connection, improving the reliability and stability of electrical connection.

[0069] It should be noted that the shape of the at least one connecting segment 1132 connected to the at least two mounting segments 1131 can be selected as needed, for example, the shape of the at least one connecting segment 1132 connected to the at least two mounting segments 1131 can be "Wang" shape, "H" type, "N" type, "W" type, "M" type or "Hui" shape, etc. Specifically, the present application does not limit the shape of the at least one connecting segment 1132 connected to the at least two mounting segments 1131.

[0070] With reference to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the shape of the plurality of connecting terminals 120 is at least partially different, which allows the connecting terminals 120 to adapt to different shapes and specifications of the plug-in connectors or wires, improving the diversity and flexibility of electrical connection. In limited space, different shapes of connecting terminals 120 can make more efficient use of space, avoiding mutual interference and conflict, which helps to optimize space layout, making the electrical system more compact and efficient. Different shapes of connecting terminals 120 can make the installation process more intuitive and simple, and the operator can quickly identify and correctly install the plug-in connector or wire according to the shape of the connecting terminal 120. Similarly, during maintenance, different shapes of connecting terminals 120 also help to quickly locate and identify the problem, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0071] Figure 3is a structural schematic view of a connector provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a connector 1000 is provided, which includes the ground terminal 100 and the plurality of wire harness terminals 200 described above. Each wire harness terminal 200 is electrically connected to a corresponding connection terminal 120, respectively. The structure of the ground terminal 100 is as described above. Since the present connector 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-described embodiments, it at least has the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0072] With reference to Figures 3 to 6 , Figure 4 is Figure 3 a top view schematic view of the connector shown in FIG. 1; Figure 5 is Figure 4 a sectional view at A-A shown in FIG. 1; Figure 6 is Figure 5A local enlarged view of the indicated portion A is shown. In some embodiments, the connector 1000 further comprises a sheath 300 provided with a plurality of through holes 310, each through hole 310 having a first insertion end 3101 and a second insertion end 3102, each connection terminal 120 is inserted into the through hole 310 from the corresponding first insertion end 3101, and each wire harness terminal 200 is inserted into the through hole 310 from the corresponding second insertion end 3102 and electrically connected with the corresponding connection terminal 120, so that the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 are mounted and electrically connected through the through holes 310 on the sheath 300, ensuring accurate alignment between them. The design of the sheath 300 provides additional fixation to prevent the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 from loosening or misaligning during the connection process. The connection of the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 through the through holes 310 on the sheath 300 can effectively prevent moisture and dust from entering the connection between the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200, protecting the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 from corrosion and damage. The design of the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 sharing a sheath 300 makes the connector 1000 more compact, reduces unnecessary space occupation, and reduces weight. The arrangement of multiple through holes 310 can simultaneously meet the connection requirements of multiple connection terminals 120 and wire harness terminals 200, improving the integration and efficiency of the connector 1000. Connecting through the through holes 310 on the sheath 300 can simplify the wiring process and reduce the crossing and entanglement of cables. This not only improves the neatness and aesthetics of wiring, but also helps to reduce the error rate and cost in the wiring process. The electrical connection of the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 through the through holes 310 on the sheath 300 ensures good electrical conductivity. The design of the sheath 300 can shield some electromagnetic interference and protect the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 from external electromagnetic field interference, which helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the electrical system. The design of the sheath 300 makes the installation process of the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 more simple and intuitive, and the operator can quickly identify and correctly install the connection terminal 120 and the wire harness terminal 200 through the through holes 310 on the sheath 300.

[0073] It should be noted that the sheath 300 is usually made of protective materials such as rubber and plastic, which have certain waterproof and dustproof properties.

[0074] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, each wire harness terminal 200 is inserted into the corresponding connection terminal 120, and the design of the insertion ensures that the wire harness terminal 200 and the connection terminal 120 are tightly connected and not easily loosened, which ensures the stability and reliability of the electrical connection and reduces the risk of circuit failure and safety hazards due to poor connection. The design of the insertion makes the installation and removal of the wire harness terminal 200 and the connection terminal 120 more simple and efficient, and the operator can easily complete the connection and disconnection without using complex tools or performing tedious operations, which not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the error rate and cost during installation and removal. The design of the insertion helps to ensure good contact between the wire harness terminal 200 and the connection terminal 120, which reduces contact resistance and signal attenuation and improves the overall performance of the electrical system. At the same time, the design of the insertion can also reduce electromagnetic interference and noise, further improving the stability and reliability of the electrical system.

[0075] It should be noted that in other embodiments, a conductive sleeve can also be installed in the through hole 310, with one end of the conductive sleeve sleeved outside the wire harness terminal 200 and the other end of the conductive sleeve sleeved outside the corresponding connection terminal 120, so that the wire harness terminal 200 and the corresponding connection terminal 120 are electrically connected. In this way, the conductive sleeve serves as a physical protective layer that ensures the tight connection between the wire harness terminal 200 and the connection terminal 120, providing additional mechanical support and fixation to prevent loosening or misalignment during connection, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the electrical connection. In the electrical system, the connection terminal 120 may be affected by various environmental factors such as corrosion and wear. The presence of the conductive sleeve provides an additional layer of protection for the connection terminal 120, preventing it from being damaged. In particular, in harsh environments such as humidity, high temperature, and strong electromagnetic fields, the conductive sleeve plays a more obvious role. The design of the conductive sleeve makes the installation and removal of the wire harness terminal 200 and the connection terminal 120 more simple and efficient. The operator can easily complete the connection and disconnection without using complex tools or performing tedious operations. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the error rate and cost during installation and removal. The presence of the conductive sleeve also improves the safety and reliability of the electrical system. It can prevent circuit failure and safety hazards caused by poor connection or loosening. At the same time, the conductive sleeve can also prevent small animals or foreign objects from entering the connection part 112, further improving the safety of the electrical system.

[0076] It should be noted that the conductive sleeve is usually made of conductive materials such as copper and aluminum, which have good electrical conductivity. Therefore, the presence of the conductive sleeve ensures good electrical contact between the wire harness terminal 200 and the connection terminal 120, reducing contact resistance and signal attenuation and improving the overall performance of the electrical system.

[0077] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the through hole 310 is provided with a limiting platform 320 adjacent to the inner side wall of the first insertion end 3101, the limiting platform 320 is provided with a limiting surface 3201 facing the second insertion end 3102, the connecting terminal 120 comprises a connecting body 1201 and an abutting arm 1202 extending from the connecting body 1201 and facing the conductive body 110, the abutting arm 1202 is inclined away from the connecting body 1201, and the end of the abutting arm 1202 away from the connecting body 1201 is used to abut the limiting surface 3201, so that when the abutting arm 1202 of the connecting terminal 120 abuts the limiting surface 3201, it will be subjected to a force towards the second insertion end 3102, which makes the connecting terminal 120 fit more tightly in the through hole 310, effectively preventing the connecting terminal 120 from loosening or falling off after insertion, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The abutting arm 1202 is inclined away from the connecting body 1201, so that the connecting terminal 120 can better disperse stress when subjected to external force, avoiding connection failure due to stress concentration. The inclined design of the abutting arm 1202 also makes the insertion of the connecting terminal 120 more smooth, reducing the resistance generated by friction. When it is necessary to disassemble the connecting terminal 120, the operator can pull the conductive body 110 to make at least one of the abutting arm 1202 and the limiting platform 320 deform so that the abutting arm 1202 is separated from the limiting surface 3201, thereby easily pulling out the connecting terminal 120 from the through hole 310. This design not only simplifies the disassembly process, but also reduces the risk of damage during disassembly.

[0078] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 and Figure 8 , Figure 8is a structural schematic diagram of a sheath provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the sheath 300 is further provided with a positioning slot 330, which is in communication with the plurality of through holes 310, and the conductive body 110 part is installed in the positioning slot 330. In this way, the design of the positioning slot 330 provides a clear installation position for the conductive body 110 part, which can ensure accurate alignment with the through holes 310 and the wire harness terminal 200 and the connection terminal 120 when the conductive body 110 part is installed in the positioning slot 330. This accurate alignment not only improves the accuracy of the connection, but also reduces the risk of poor or failed connection due to misalignment. The positioning slot 330 provides additional support for the conductive body 110 part, which can prevent the conductive body 110 part from moving or deforming during installation, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. The cooperation between the positioning slot 330 and the conductive body 110 part can prevent loosening during connection. This design ensures that the connector 1000 can maintain stable connection during long-term use.

[0079] Referring to Figures 8 to 11 , Figure 9 is Figure 3 a right view of the connector shown in FIG. 1; Figure 10 is Figure 9 a cross-sectional view at B-B shown in FIG. 1; Figure 11 is a structural schematic diagram of a locking member provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the side wall of the sheath 300 is further provided with a plug-in slot 340, which is in communication with the plurality of through holes 310, and the connector 1000 further includes a locking member 400, which is inserted into the plug-in slot 340 to lock and fix the wire harness terminal 200 to the sheath 300. In this way, the locking member 400 can firmly lock the wire harness terminal 200 to the sheath 300 by being inserted into the plug-in slot 340, which effectively prevents the wire harness terminal 200 from loosening or falling off during connection due to vibration, impact or other external forces, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection. Through the locking action of the locking member 400, good contact between the wire harness terminal 200 and the connection terminal 120 can be ensured. This close contact reduces the risk of connection failure due to poor contact, further improving the reliability of the connection. The design of the locking member 400 makes the installation process simpler and faster, and the operator only needs to insert the locking member 400 into the plug-in slot 340 to complete the locking operation without the need for complex tools or cumbersome steps. When it is necessary to disassemble the wire harness terminal 200, the operator can pull out the locking member 400 to quickly disassemble the wire harness terminal 200 from the sheath 300.

[0080] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 11 , Figure 7 is Figure 5A local enlarged view of B is shown. In some embodiments, the locking piece 400 includes a locking body 410 and at least two stop arms 420 connected to the locking body 410, and a clearance gap 500 is formed between the at least two stop arms 420 and / or between the stop arms 420 and the side wall of the insertion slot 340. The stop arms 420 have a stop surface 4201 arranged towards the first insertion end 3101. The wire harness terminal 200 includes a wire harness 210 and a mating terminal 220 connected to the wire harness 210. The wire harness 210 is located in the clearance gap 500, and the mating terminal 220 is located on the side of the stop surface 4201 towards the first insertion end 3101. The end surface of the mating terminal 220 towards the second insertion end 3102 abuts against the stop surface 4201. In this way, the locking body 410 and the stop arms 420 of the locking piece 400 jointly act to firmly lock the wire harness terminal 200 on the sheath 300. The stop surface 4201 of the stop arm 420 tightly abuts against the end surface of the mating terminal 220, preventing the wire harness terminal 200 from loosening or falling off during connection. The clearance gap 500 provides sufficient space for the wire harness 210, avoiding the wire harness 210 from being squeezed or damaged during locking. The design of the locking piece 400 makes the installation process simpler and faster. The operator only needs to insert the locking piece 400 into the insertion slot 340 and ensure that the stop arms 420 tightly abut against the mating terminal 220 to complete the installation, without the need for using complex tools or performing tedious steps. When it is necessary to disassemble the wire harness terminal 200, the operator can pull out the locking piece 400. The design of the clearance gap 500 ensures that the wire harness 210 is not hindered during disassembly, thereby reducing the risk of damage during disassembly.

[0081] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the mating terminal can be provided with an insertion hole, and the locking piece 400 is adapted to be inserted into the insertion hole in a mating manner. After the wire harness terminal 200 is inserted into the through hole 310, the locking piece 400 is inserted into the insertion slot 340 and the insertion hole, so that the wire harness terminal 200 can be locked and fixed to the sheath 300, which is simple in structure and easy to operate.

[0082] Referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11In some embodiments, the locking piece 400 and the side wall of the insertion slot 340 are further provided with a clamping structure, which includes a clamping protrusion 610 and a clamping groove 620 matched with the clamping protrusion 610. One of the clamping protrusion 610 and the clamping groove 620 is arranged on the locking piece 400, and the other is arranged on the side wall of the insertion slot 340. In this way, the locking piece 400 is firmly fixed on the side wall of the insertion slot 340 through the mutual cooperation of the clamping protrusion 610 and the clamping groove 620. This design effectively prevents the locking piece 400 from loosening or falling off during the connection process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The clamping structure can also prevent the operator from misoperation during the installation or disassembly process. Since the clamping protrusion 610 and the clamping groove 620 need to be matched with each other to be inserted or pulled out, the operator must operate according to the correct steps to ensure the correct installation or disassembly of the locking piece 400. The design of the clamping structure makes the installation process more simple and fast. The operator only needs to align the clamping protrusion 610 on the locking piece 400 with the clamping groove 620 on the side wall of the insertion slot 340 and gently push it in to complete the installation. No complex tools or tedious steps are required. When the locking piece 400 needs to be disassembled, the operator can pull it out by applying external force.

[0083] It should be noted that the structure of the clamping protrusion 610 and the clamping groove 620 can be set as needed, which is not limited in the present application.

[0084] Referring to Figures 9 to 11 In some embodiments, the locking piece 400 and the side wall of the insertion slot 340 are further provided with an error prevention structure, which includes an error prevention protrusion 710 and an error prevention groove 720 matched with the error prevention protrusion 710. One of the error prevention protrusion 710 and the error prevention groove 720 is arranged on the locking piece 400, and the other is arranged on the side wall of the insertion slot 340. In this way, the mutual cooperation of the error prevention protrusion 710 and the error prevention groove 720 ensures that the locking piece 400 can only be inserted into the insertion slot 340 in the correct way and angle. This design effectively prevents connection failure or damage caused by misinsertion or misoperation. The close cooperation of the error prevention protrusion 710 and the error prevention groove 720 provides additional fixing force for the locking piece 400. This design enhances the connection stability between the locking piece 400 and the insertion slot 340 and prevents loosening caused by vibration or impact. The obvious features of the error prevention protrusion 710 and the error prevention groove 720 enable the operator to quickly identify the correct installation position and method. This helps to simplify the installation process and improve work efficiency.

[0085] It should be noted that the structure of the error prevention protrusion 710 and the error prevention groove 720 can be set as needed, which is not limited in the present application.
