[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments cannot be described in detail here, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments.

[0030] Combination Figures 1-11 As shown, this utility model provides a throttle cable connector, including a housing 1, a pull cable 6 connected to the housing 1, and a throttle cable 7. The housing 1 has an internal cavity, and each end of the housing 1 has a cable passage hole 2 communicating with the cavity. One end of the pull cable 6 is located in the cavity of the housing 1, and the other end passes through one of the cable passage holes 2 and extends out of the housing 1. One end of the throttle cable 7 is located in the cavity of the housing 1, and the other end passes through another cable passage hole 2 and extends out of the housing 1.

[0031] According to one embodiment of this utility model, an annular mounting groove 11 is provided in the housing 1 along the circumferential direction. A shielding cylinder 3 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 11. An adjustment hole 12 is provided on the housing 1, and an adjustment handle 31 is provided on the shielding cylinder 3, extending beyond the adjustment hole 12. Moving the adjustment handle 31 can cause the shielding cylinder 3 to rotate relative to the housing 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the pull cable 6 and the throttle cable 7, a first arrangement groove 4 and a second arrangement groove 5 are provided on the outer wall of the housing 1. The first arrangement groove 4 and the second arrangement groove 5 penetrate the shielding cylinder 3 and the housing 1 and communicate with the cavity of the housing 1. With this configuration, in the initial state (e.g.) Figure 2 (As shown) When the shielding cylinder 3 is in the open state, rotating the adjusting handle 31 can make the shielding cylinder 3 rotate so that the cavity of the housing 1 is isolated from the outside.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pull cable 6 is connected to a connecting seat 8 at one end in the housing 1. The connecting seat 8 has a platform portion 81 and a flange portion 82. The platform portion 81 is provided with a first retaining seat 83 and a second retaining seat 84 connected to the first retaining seat 83. The throttle cable 7 is provided with a connecting portion 71 at one end in the housing 1. The connecting portion 71 is detachably fitted with the first retaining seat 83.

[0034] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of this utility model, a limiting guide groove 821 is provided on the flange portion 82, and a guide block 13 is provided on the inner side wall of the housing 1 to slide in cooperation with the limiting guide groove 821. The connecting portion 71 has a mating plane 711, the height of which is flush with the bottom of the limiting guide groove 821, and the lower side of the guide block 13 is in contact with the mating plane 711.

[0035] The throttle cable connector of this invention facilitates the installation of the connector seat 8 through the guide block 13 of the limiting guide groove 821. Furthermore, the connector seat 8 has a limiting hole 85 on the side facing the pull cable 6, and a limiting post 14 on the inner wall of the housing 1 cooperates with the limiting hole 85. This arrangement, under the limiting action of the guide block 13 and the limiting post 14, effectively ensures the installation stability of the connector seat 8, avoiding problems such as position transmission issues that could affect the action transmission of the throttle cable 7.

[0036] Furthermore, since the connecting part 711 has a mating plane 711 that mates with the guide block 13, the guide block 13 can press the connecting part 71 from above when the connecting seat 8 is installed in place. In specific applications, an elastic rubber layer can be provided on the lower side of the end of the guide block 13 facing the connecting part 71, thereby further preventing the connecting part 71 from separating from the first card seat 83.

[0037] The installation process of the throttle cable connector of this utility model is as follows:

[0038] First, the pull cable 6 is passed through the cable hole 2 from the first arrangement slot 4. At this time, the connecting seat 8 is located in the housing 1, at a certain distance from the inner wall of the right side of the housing 1. Then, the throttle cable 7 is also passed through the cable hole 2 in the cavity of the housing 1. Then, the connecting part 71 is snapped into the first retainer 83 to connect the pull cable 6 and the throttle cable 7. Next, the guide groove 821 of the limiting groove is aligned with the guide block 13, and the pull cable 6 is pulled from the outside, so that the connecting seat 8 moves along the guide block 13 towards the inner wall of the right side of the housing 1 until the connecting seat 8 is close to the inner wall of the right side of the housing 1. At this time, the limiting post 14 cooperates with the limiting hole 85, and the guide block 13 presses the connecting part 71. Then, the adjusting handle 31 is rotated so that the shielding cylinder 3 seals the connecting part 8 and the connecting part 71 in the cavity of the housing 1.

[0039] The above description is merely one embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
