[0027] The connector is mainly used to realize electrical connection, transmit current and electrical signal.

[0028] In some working conditions, when the connection of the line is made by using the connector, the root of the terminal assembly 100 in the connector is easy to be bent due to the scattered wire harness around, and there is a possibility that the transmission signal is unstable or even the root of the terminal assembly 100 is damaged.

[0029] In order to solve the technical problem that the root of the terminal assembly 100 is easy to be bent, the first embodiment of the present application provides a connector, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connector includes a terminal assembly 100, a first housing 200 and a second housing 300, the terminal assembly 100 includes a first part 110 and a second part 120, the first part 110 extends along the first direction X, the second part 120 extends along the second direction Y, and the first part 110 is connected to one side of the second part 120 along the second direction Y; the first housing 200 has a plug-in hole 211, and the first part 110 is arranged in the plug-in hole 211; the second housing 300 is connected to one side of the first housing 200 along the second direction Y, and the second housing 300 has a receiving cavity 311, the receiving cavity 311 penetrates through the second housing 300 along the second direction Y, and the second part 120 is arranged in the receiving cavity 311; the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect.

[0030] Among them, the first part 110 arranged in the plug-in hole 211 is the head of the terminal assembly 100, and the first part 110 is used to connect with other connectors to realize the connection of the line; the second part 120 is the root of the terminal assembly 100, and the second part 120 is used to connect the wires in the terminal assembly 100.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the second housing 300 is provided with the accommodating cavity 311, and the second part 120 is capable of being inserted into the accommodating cavity 311, so that the second housing 300 can surround the second part 120 and protect the second part 120, reducing the possibility of the second part 120 being bent, thereby improving the use reliability of the connector. In addition, even if the second part 120 is bent when the connector is pulled by the wire, the second housing 300 surrounding the outside of the second part 120 can limit the bending degree of the second part 120 after the second part 120 is bent and contacts the second housing 300, thereby reducing the possibility that the second part 120 is bent to cause the connector to transmit unstable signals or even damage the terminal assembly 100, thereby further improving the use reliability of the connector.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are detachably connected to facilitate disassembly of the terminal assembly 100. In some embodiments, the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are snap-fit connected to achieve detachable connection.

[0033] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 , the second housing 300 further has a mounting hole 312, the mounting hole 312 being in communication with the accommodating cavity 311, and the mounting hole 312 extending through the second housing 300 along the second direction Y.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting hole 312 extends along a direction perpendicular to the second direction Y to communicate with the accommodating cavity 311, and the mounting hole 312 extends through the surface of the second housing 300 facing the first housing 200 and the surface of the second housing 300 away from the first housing 200 along the second direction Y, respectively.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the mounting hole 312 extending through the second housing 300 along the second direction Y and in communication with the accommodating cavity 311 can allow the second housing 300 to be radially sleeved on the second part 120 or the wire without being sleeved from one end of the wire extension direction, which can reduce the assembly difficulty of the connector, especially when the wire length is long. During assembly of the connector, the terminal assembly 100 and the second housing 300 are moved along the radial direction of the second part 120 or the wire to make the second part 120 or the wire enter the accommodating cavity 311 through the mounting hole 312, and then the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are moved along the second direction Y to complete the connection of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 8The second shell 300 comprises an enclosing portion 310 and a stop portion 320. The enclosing portion 310 has a receiving cavity 311 and a mounting hole 312. The stop portion 320 is connected to one side of the enclosing portion 310 along the second direction Y and is located at one side of the first portion 110 along the first direction X.

[0037] It can be understood that when the connector is plugged, the terminal assembly 100 will be stressed and there is a possibility that the first portion 110 moves along the first direction X towards the right side in Figure 3 .

[0038] Specifically, one end of the first portion 110 along the second direction Y is a plugging end, which is used to connect with the terminal assembly 100 of another connector when the connector is connected. The stop portion 320 is arranged at one side of the first portion 110 along the second direction Y away from the plugging end.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the stop portion 320 connected to the enclosing portion 310 and located at one side of the first portion 110 along the second direction Y can limit the first portion 110 when the connector is plugged. When the first portion 110 moves along the second direction Y and contacts the stop portion 320, the stop portion 320 can prevent the first portion 110 from further moving along the second direction Y, thereby reducing the possibility of poor contact of the connector when connected.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the second shell 300 further comprises a limiting portion 330 connected to one side of the stop portion 320 away from the enclosing portion 310.

The first limiting surface 331 and the second limiting surface 332 are used to connect with the first shell 200 to limit the second shell 300. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect with each other.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first limiting surface 331 and the second limiting surface 332 are planes. In some embodiments, the first limiting surface 331 and the second limiting surface 332 are parallel to each other. In some embodiments, the first limiting surface 331 and the second limiting surface 332 are connected with the first shell 200.

[0042] In the above embodiment, by arranging the limiting portion 330 and enabling the first shell 200 to be connected with the first limiting surface 331 and the second limiting surface 332 to limit the rotation of the second shell 300 around the second portion 120, the connection of the first shell 200 and the second shell 300 is more reliable.

[0043] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 9The first shell 200 has a limiting groove 230, and the limiting part 330 is embedded in the limiting groove 230.

[0044] Specifically, the limiting groove 230 has two groove walls oppositely arranged along the third direction Z, and the two groove walls are connected with the first limiting surface 331 and the second limiting surface 332 respectively, so as to limit the rotation of the limiting part 330, thereby limiting the rotation of the second shell 300.

[0045] Specifically, the first shell 200 includes a body part 210 and a limiting part 330, the limiting part 330 is connected to the body part 210 near one side of the second part 120, and the limiting groove 230 is arranged on the limiting part 330.

[0046] In the above embodiment, by arranging the limiting groove 230 so that the first shell 200 has groove walls oppositely arranged along the third direction Z, the first shell 200 can be connected with the limiting part 330, and the rotation of the limiting part 330 is limited to realize the limitation of the rotation of the second shell 300, so as to realize the reliability of the connection between the first shell 200 and the second shell 300.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 8 , the second shell 300 further includes a protruding part 340, the protruding part 340 is arranged between the first part 110 and the stop part 320 along the first direction X and is connected with the stop part 320.

[0048] In the above embodiment, by arranging the protruding part 340 so that the second shell 300 can be closer to the side of the first part 110 away from the insertion end along the second direction Y, the space for moving the first part 110 along the second direction Y is further compressed, thereby further reducing the possibility that the connector is not in good contact due to the movement of the first part 110 along the second direction Y when the connector is inserted, and further improving the use reliability of the connector.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the first shell 200 includes a body part 210 and an insertion part 220, the body part 210 has an insertion hole 211; the insertion part 220 is connected to one side of the body part 210 along the second direction Y, the insertion part 220 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 311 and covers the mounting hole 312, and the insertion part 220 is located on one side of the second part 120.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the insertion part 220 can completely surround the second part 120 with the second shell 300, so as to completely protect the second part 120 along the circumference of the second part 120, thereby reducing the possibility that the second part 120 is bent towards the mounting hole 312 of the second shell 300, so that the signal transmission of the connector is unstable or even damaged.

[0051] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 8 , the second housing 300 comprises a first side wall 350, a second side wall 360, a third side wall 370 and a clamping portion 380, the first side wall 350 is arranged on a side of the second portion 120 away from the splicing portion 220 along the first direction X; the second side wall 360 is arranged on a side of the splicing portion 220 away from the first side wall 350 along the first direction X, and the mounting hole 312 is arranged on the second side wall 360; the third side wall 370 is arranged between the first side wall 350 and the second side wall 360 along the first direction X, and is connected with the first side wall 350 and the second side wall 360 respectively, and the first side wall 350, the second side wall 360 and the third side wall 370 enclose the accommodating cavity 311; the clamping portion 380 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 311 and connected with the third side wall 370, and the clamping portion 380 is arranged on a side of the splicing portion 220 close to the first side wall 350 along the first direction X, and is arranged spaced apart from the first side wall 350.

[0052] Specifically, the clamping portion 380 and the second side wall 360 are arranged spaced apart and form a gap, and the splicing portion 220 is arranged in the gap.

[0053] Specifically, the stop portion 320 is connected to a side of the first side wall 350 along the second direction Y.

[0054] In some embodiments, the surrounding portion 310 comprises the first side wall 350, the second side wall 360 and the third side wall 370. The stop portion 320 is connected to a side of the first side wall 350 close to the first housing 200 along the second direction Y.

[0055] In the above embodiments, by arranging the second side wall 360, the splicing portion 220 and the second housing 300 can better surround the second portion 120, and the possibility of bending of the second portion 120 is further reduced. In addition, the second side wall 360 and the clamping portion 380 arranged on both sides of the splicing portion 220 increase the connection area between the second housing 300 and the splicing portion 220, improve the connection reliability of the second housing 300 and the first housing 200, and reduce the possibility of relative rotation and relative movement of the second housing 300 relative to the first housing 200 along the second direction Y.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The insertion portion 220 has a guide groove 221 extending along the second direction Y and penetrating through the side of the insertion portion 220 away from the body portion 210.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the guide portion 390 embedded in the guide groove 221 can limit the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 along the third direction Z, and reduce the possibility of relative movement of the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 along the third direction Z. At the same time, the movement of the second housing 300 along the second direction Y can be guided when the first housing 200 and the second housing 300 are assembled together, thereby reducing the difficulty of connector assembly.

[0058] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The body portion 210 has a locking hole in communication with the accommodating cavity 311, and the first housing 200 further includes a locking portion 240 connected to the body portion 210. Part of the locking portion 240 is located in the accommodating cavity 311 and connected to the first portion 110 to limit the movement of the first portion 110 along the second direction Y.

[0059] Specifically, the locking portion 240 can be elastically deformed along a direction perpendicular to the first direction X to allow the first portion 110 to enter or exit the accommodating cavity 311, thereby achieving installation or disassembly of the first portion 110.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the locking portion 240 is provided to further reduce the possibility of poor contact of the connector caused by movement of the terminal assembly 100 during insertion.
