AI Technical Summary
Existing vehicle communication connectors require replacement of the outer plastic shell to achieve multiple installation orientations, resulting in high production costs and increased mold development costs.
The design of the vehicle communication connector socket orientation adjustment structure adopts a bidirectional symmetrical structure of the main body and the outer shell, with the protrusion fitting into the socket. The main body and the outer shell can be adjusted to four assembly angles: horizontal, vertical, and horizontal, requiring only one set of outer shell molds.
It enables flexible adjustment of multiple installation directions, reduces mold development costs, and improves manufacturing tolerance and structural reliability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle communication connectors, specifically a vehicle communication connector socket direction adjustment structure. Background Technology
[0002] Vehicle communication connectors are used for in-vehicle communication transmission. The sockets require various mounting orientations depending on the installation environment. Currently, most existing vehicle communication connectors on the market achieve multiple mounting orientations by replacing the outer plastic shell. This requires developing multiple sets of shell molds during production, resulting in high costs. See the appendix for the assembly structure of existing vehicle communication connectors. Figure 5 . Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a vehicle communication connector socket direction adjustment structure that is scientifically designed, easy to operate, structurally reasonable, reliable and durable.
[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A vehicle-mounted communication connector socket orientation adjustment structure includes a main body and a shell. A protrusion is formed on one end face of the main body, and a corresponding insertion hole is formed on one end face of the shell. The protrusion and the insertion hole are fitted and connected together. The main body end face assembly structure with the protrusion is bidirectionally symmetrical in the horizontal and vertical directions, and the shell end face assembly structure with the insertion hole is bidirectionally symmetrical in the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0006] Furthermore, the main body base has four cylindrical protrusions that are symmetrical in both horizontal and vertical directions on its side end, and four cylindrical insertion holes that are symmetrical in both horizontal and vertical directions on the side end face of the outer shell base, with the size of the insertion holes matching the size of the protrusions.
[0007] Furthermore, a rounded square groove is formed on the main body base around the protrusion, and a rounded square protrusion is formed on the outer shell base around the socket, with the protrusion matching the size of the groove.
[0008] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0009] 1. The structure of this utility model is designed with a two-way symmetrical structure for the main body and the outer shell. The outer shell only needs to select the required assembly direction during the assembly process, which can realize the four installation directions of connector: N, S, W and E.
[0010] 2. This utility model only requires the development of one set of outer shell molds, and there is no need to replace the inserts, which greatly reduces the mold cost.
[0011] 3. The structure of this utility model is easy to manufacture, and the assembly direction can be selected according to customer requirements, with a high fault tolerance rate. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following embodiments are merely descriptive and not limiting, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] A vehicle-mounted communication connector socket orientation adjustment structure includes a main body 1 and a housing 2. A protrusion 1-2 is formed on one end face of the main body, and a socket 2-2 corresponding to the protrusion is formed on one end face of the housing. The protrusion and the socket are fitted and connected together.
[0019] The main body end face assembly structure with protruding head has a bidirectional symmetrical structure in the horizontal and vertical directions, and the outer shell end face assembly structure with insertion hole has a bidirectional symmetrical structure in the horizontal and vertical directions. The main body and the outer shell can be adjusted to four assembly angles in the horizontal, vertical and perpendicular directions.
[0020] The main body base 1-1 has four cylindrical protrusions 1-2 that are symmetrical in both horizontal and vertical directions on its side end. The outer shell base 2-1 has four cylindrical insertion holes 2-2 that are symmetrical in both horizontal and vertical directions on its side end face. The size of the insertion holes matches the size of the protrusions, which can ensure stable insertion.
[0021] A rounded square groove 1-3 is made on the main body base around the protrusion, and a rounded square protrusion 2-3 is made on the outer shell base around the socket. The protrusion and groove are matched in size to further ensure that the connection between the main body and the outer shell is stable and reliable.
