Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a female connector and connector device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, connector devices are generally used for connections between wire harnesses and between wire harnesses and electrical components. Connector devices are crucial components for connecting various electrical and electronic devices. A connector device typically includes a female connector and a male connector, and electrical connection is achieved through the mating of the female and male connectors. The male connector has numerous male terminals, and correspondingly, the female connector has numerous female ports. Electrical connection between the male and female terminals is achieved through the one-to-one mating of the male and female terminals.

[0003] Male terminals are typically long, thin, needle-like structures that protrude a certain height from the mounting plane of the male connector. Male terminals are prone to misalignment, preventing proper insertion with the female port. Furthermore, insertion can easily cause deformation of the male terminal, rendering the connector unusable and requiring repair. This misalignment of the male terminal is referred to as "misaligned pin."

[0004] Existing connector devices typically have anti-misalignment plates on the male connector. These plates have positioning holes that correspond one-to-one with the male terminals. Before the female connector is inserted into the male connector, the male terminal is first inserted into the positioning hole, with the anti-misalignment plate positioned in the upper middle part of the male terminal to fix it in place and prevent it from being misaligned. The male terminals must be fully aligned to achieve proper insertion. During insertion, careful alignment is required to avoid misalignment of the male terminals due to interference from the anti-misalignment plate. This assembly process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the male connector must be designed to be compatible with the anti-misalignment plate. This design is not suitable for existing male connectors already in use.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a female connector and connector device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a female connector and connector device to prevent male terminal pin misalignment, improve the success rate and assembly efficiency of female and male connector insertion, reduce the maintenance rate of male connector, and be compatible with existing male connectors.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A female connector is disclosed, capable of mating with a male connector. The male connector includes a male body and multiple male terminals. The male body has a slot, and the multiple male terminals are spaced apart and erected at the bottom of the slot. The female connector includes a female body and an anti-skewing plate. The female body can be mated with the slot, and the female body has female ports corresponding to the male terminals. The anti-skewing plate is installed at one end of the female body near the male connector, and the anti-skewing plate has first guide grooves corresponding to the female ports. The male terminals can be inserted into the corresponding female ports through the corresponding first guide grooves.

[0009] The sidewall of the first guide groove gradually slopes from the inside to the outside from one end closer to the mother end body to the other end.

[0010] Furthermore, the sidewall of the first guide groove near the end of the female end body extends along the height direction of the first guide groove to form a first receiving groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-skewing piece is engaged with the female end body.

[0012] Furthermore, the female end body is provided with locking blocks at both ends along its length direction and / or on both sides along its width direction, and the anti-slant plate is provided with buckles that correspond one-to-one with the locking blocks, and the buckles can engage with the corresponding locking blocks.

[0013] Furthermore, the anti-skewing plate is provided with a limiting part, and when the anti-skewing plate is engaged with the female end body, the female end body is clamped between the limiting parts.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower end of the card block has a guide surface, which gradually slopes upwards and away from the mother end body.

[0015] Furthermore, the female end body has a slot corresponding to the card block, the card block is disposed in the corresponding slot, and the slot is used to accommodate the buckle.

[0016] Furthermore, the female port includes a second receiving groove and a second guide groove. The second guide groove is connected to the end of the second receiving groove near the anti-slant plate, and the sidewall of the second guide groove gradually slopes from the inside to the outside from the end near the second receiving groove to the other end.

[0017] Furthermore, the sidewall of the second guide groove near the end of the second receiving groove extends along the height direction of the second guide groove to form a third receiving groove, the third receiving groove connecting the second guide groove and the second receiving groove.

[0018] A connector device includes a male connector and a female connector as described above. The male connector includes a male body and a plurality of male terminals. The male body has a slot. The plurality of male terminals are spaced apart and erected at the bottom of the slot. The female body can be inserted into the slot. The male terminals can be inserted into the corresponding female port through the corresponding first guide groove.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This utility model provides a female connector and connector device. The female connector can be inserted and mated with a male connector. The male connector includes a male body and multiple male terminals. The male body has a slot, and the multiple male terminals are spaced apart and erected at the bottom of the slot. The female connector includes a female body and an anti-skewing plate. The female body can be inserted and mated with the slot, and the female body has female ports corresponding to the male terminals. The anti-skewing plate is installed on the end of the female body near the male connector, and the anti-skewing plate has a first guide groove corresponding to the female port. The male terminals can be inserted into the corresponding female ports through the corresponding first guide grooves. The sidewall of the first guide groove gradually slopes from the inside to the outside from the end near the female body to the other end, forming a first guide angle, which can guide the male terminals, so that even if the male terminals are slightly misaligned, they will enter the female ports under the guidance of the first guide groove. The anti-skewing plate and the female connector body are manufactured and formed separately before assembly. The size of the first guide groove is not interfered with by the forming groove on the female connector body, allowing the end of the first guide groove near the male connector body to have a larger size. This increases the guiding range of the female connector to the male connector, improves the fault tolerance rate of the male connector pin, and guides the male connector pin that is bent into the female port, thus having a certain corrective effect. This prevents the male connector pin from bending, improves the success rate and assembly efficiency of the female connector and male connector mating, reduces the maintenance rate of the male connector, and does not require any changes to the structure of the male connector, making it compatible with existing male connectors.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a female connector 1 that can be inserted and mated with a male connector 2. The male connector 2 includes a male body 21 and a plurality of male terminals 22. The male body 21 has a slot 23, and the plurality of male terminals 22 are spaced apart and erected at the bottom of the slot 23. The female connector 1 includes a female body 11 and an anti-skewing piece 12. The female body 11 can be inserted and mated with the slot 23, and the female body 11 has a female port 13 corresponding to each of the male terminals 22. The anti-skewing piece 12 is installed on the female body 11. Near the male connector 2, the anti-skewing plate 12 has a first guide groove 121 that corresponds one-to-one with the female port 13. The male terminal 22 can be inserted into the corresponding female port 13 through the corresponding first guide groove 121. The side wall of the first guide groove 121 gradually slopes from the inside to the outside from the end near the female body 11 to the other end, forming a first guide angle, which can guide the male terminal 22, so that even if the male terminal 22 is slightly misaligned, it will enter the female port 13 under the guidance of the first guide groove 121.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, it should be noted that due to the molding requirements of the female end body 11, the female end body 11 also has a molding groove 18 that communicates with the female port 13. The existence of the molding groove 18 restricts the size of the end of the female port 13 that is close to the male end body 21, resulting in the existing female port 13 having a smaller size at the end that is close to the male end body 21, making it difficult to accurately align with the male terminal 22, thus causing the problem of difficulty in plugging the male connector 2 and the female connector 1. In this embodiment, the anti-skewing piece 12 and the female end body 11 are manufactured and then assembled. The size of the first guide groove 121 on the anti-skewing piece 12 is not interfered with by the forming groove 18, so that the cross-sectional area of ​​the end of the first guide groove 121 near the male end body 21 can be larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the corresponding female port 13 near the anti-skewing piece 12. This increases the guiding range of the female end connector 1 to the male terminal 22, improves the fault tolerance rate of the male terminal 22 pin, and can guide the male terminal 22 pin with a skewed pin into the female port 13, which has a certain corrective effect. This can prevent the male terminal 22 pin from being skewed, improve the success rate of the female end connector 1 and the male end connector 2, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the two, reducing the maintenance rate of the male end connector 2, and does not require any changes to the structure of the male end connector 2, and can be adapted to the existing male end connector 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the side wall of the first guide groove 121 near the female end body 11 extends along the height direction of the first guide groove 121 to form a first receiving groove 122, so as to avoid stress concentration caused by sharp corners in the anti-skewing piece 12, which can improve the structural strength of the anti-skewing piece 12, extend its service life, and prevent sharp corners from damaging the surface of the male terminal 22.

[0036] In this embodiment, the anti-skewing piece 12 is snapped into the female end body 11. This snap-fit ​​connection facilitates installation and ensures a stable connection between the anti-skewing piece 12 and the female end body 11, thereby improving assembly efficiency and guaranteeing the quality of the female end connector 1. In other embodiments, the connection method between the anti-skewing piece 12 and the female end body 11 includes, but is not limited to, adhesive bonding, threaded connection, or plug-in connection, etc., and is not limited here.

[0037] like Figures 1-3 As shown, specifically, the female end body 11 is provided with locking blocks 14 at both ends along its length direction and / or on both sides along its width direction. The anti-slant plate 12 is provided with buckles 15 corresponding to the locking blocks 14. The buckles 15 can engage with the corresponding locking blocks 14 to realize the engagement between the anti-slant plate 12 and the female end body 11.

[0038] Furthermore, the anti-skewing plate 12 is provided with a limiting part 16. When the anti-skewing plate 12 is engaged with the female end body 11, the female end body 11 is clamped between the limiting parts 16, which helps to further enhance the stability of the connection between the anti-skewing plate 12 and the female end body 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, the locking blocks 14 are disposed at both ends of the female end body 11 along its length direction, and the distribution direction of the limiting parts 16 is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the buckles 15. That is, the limiting parts 16 are disposed on both sides of the anti-slant piece 12 along its width direction. It is easy to understand that the shape of the anti-slant piece 12 is adapted to the end face of the female end body 11 and is a slender structure. By locking and fixing the two ends of the anti-slant piece 12 along its length direction to the female end body 11, the displacement of the anti-slant piece 12 can be effectively prevented. By disposing of the limiting parts 16 on both sides of the anti-slant piece 12 along its width direction, the limiting parts 16 clamp the female end body 11 along its width direction. This can reduce the material of the anti-slant piece 12 and simplify its structure while ensuring the connection stability between the anti-slant piece 12 and the female end body 11, thus helping to reduce production costs.

[0040] In order to facilitate the engagement of the buckle 15 and the locking block 14, the lower end of the locking block 14 has a guide surface 141. The guide surface 141 gradually tilts from bottom to top in a direction away from the female end body 11. During the engagement process between the anti-skewing piece 12 and the female end body 11, the buckle 15 can slide along the guide surface 141 and deform in a direction away from the female end body 11 until the upper end of the buckle 15 passes the locking block 14. The restoring force of the material makes the buckle 15 approach the female end body 11 and complete the engagement with the locking block 14. The setting of the guide surface 141 helps to improve the convenience of engagement between the anti-skewing piece 12 and the female end body 11 and reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0041] Furthermore, the female end body 11 has a slot 17 corresponding to the card block 14. The card block 14 is set in the corresponding slot 17. The slot 17 is used to accommodate the buckle 15, so that the buckle 15 is embedded in the surface of the female end body 11 to avoid interference with the internal structure of the male end body 21.

[0042] Continue as Figure 6 As shown, the female port 13 includes a second receiving groove 131 and a second guide groove 132. The second guide groove 132 is connected to the end of the second receiving groove 131 near the anti-slant piece 12, and the side wall of the second guide groove 132 gradually slopes from the inside to the outside from the end near the second receiving groove 131 to the other end, forming a second guide angle. After the top of the male terminal 22 passes through the first guide groove 121, the second guide groove 132 can guide it, thereby further ensuring that the male terminal 22 can be accurately inserted into the female port 13.

[0043] The side wall of the second guide groove 132 near the second receiving groove 131 extends along the height direction of the second guide groove 132 to form a third receiving groove 133. The third receiving groove 133 connects the second guide groove 132 and the second receiving groove 131 to avoid stress concentration caused by sharp corners in the female end body 11, thereby improving the structural strength of the female end body 11, extending its service life, and preventing sharp corners from damaging the surface of the male terminal 22.

[0044] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a connector device, including a male connector 2 and a female connector 1 as described in any of the above embodiments. The male connector 2 includes a male body 21 and a plurality of male terminals 22. The male body 21 has a slot 23, and the plurality of male terminals 22 are spaced apart and erected at the bottom of the slot 23. The female body 11 can be inserted into the slot 23, and the male terminals 22 can be inserted into the corresponding female port 13 through the corresponding first guide groove 121. By using the above-mentioned female connector 1, it is possible to prevent the male terminals 22 from being misaligned, improve the success rate and assembly efficiency of the insertion of the female connector 1 and the male connector 2, reduce the maintenance rate of the male connector 2, and improve the product quality of the connector device.

[0045] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
