[0038] The utility model relates to a shell assembly, a wire harness connector and a vehicle. Figures 1-9 Detailed description of the shell assembly 10, wire harness connector 100 and vehicle according to the utility model embodiment.

[0039] Referring to Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, according to the shell assembly 10 for wire harness connector 100 of the utility model embodiment, the shell assembly 10 includes terminal fixing head 1 and connecting plug 2, terminal fixing head 1 includes main body part 11 and first limiting part 12, main body part 11 is provided with terminal fixing hole 111, first limiting part 12 is connected with main body part 11, connecting plug 2 is provided with plug-in slot 21 and plug-in through hole 22, main body part 11 is plug-in matched with plug-in slot 21, plug-in through hole 22 is communicated with terminal fixing hole 111.

[0040] It should be noted that wire harness terminal 20 is suitable for plug-in matched with the plug pin 2001 of the counter plug 200 of the wire harness connector 100, to realize the electrical connection of the wire harness connector 100 and the counter plug 200.

[0041] It can be understood that the plug-in matching of the main body part 11 of terminal fixing head 1 and the plug-in slot 21 of connecting plug 2 can make terminal fixing head 1 and connecting plug 2 form a whole, that is, shell assembly 10. Referring toFigure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the insertion slot 21 abuts against the first limiting portion 12, so that at least part of the first limiting portion 12 is pressed into the terminal fixing hole 111 and is limitedly matched with the wire harness terminal 20, that is, the front end of the first limiting portion 12 can stop the wire harness terminal 20 from moving backward, so that the wire harness terminal 20 is kept in the terminal fixing hole 111, thereby facilitating the stability and reliability of the connection between the wire harness terminal 20 and the insertion pin 2001 of the counterpart plug 200.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the connection plug 2 is sleeved in front of the terminal fixing head 1, and the connection plug 2 can block the gap of the structure of the terminal fixing head 1 itself at the rear. For example, the gap between the first limiting portion 12 and the terminal fixing hole 111, during the insertion of the wire harness connector 100 and the counterpart plug 200, the connection plug 2 can prevent the insertion pin 2001 of the counterpart plug 200 from being mistakenly inserted into the gap of the terminal fixing head 1 at the rear, so as to prevent the insertion pin 2001 of the counterpart plug 200 from being deformed, thereby facilitating the reduction of the risk of damage to the counterpart plug 200 and the stability and reliability of the connection between the wire harness connector 100 and the counterpart plug 200.

[0043] Specifically, during the insertion of the wire harness connector 100 and the counterpart plug 200, the insertion pin 2001 of the counterpart plug 200 is sequentially inserted into the insertion through hole 22 and the terminal fixing hole 111 in communication, and the insertion through hole 22 can guide the insertion pin 2001 before the insertion pin 2001 is inserted into the insertion through hole 22, so as to facilitate the accurate insertion of the insertion pin 2001 of the counterpart plug 200 into the terminal fixing hole 111 and the insertion and matching of the wire harness terminal 20.

[0044] In addition, the first limiting portion 12 is pressed against the inner wall of the insertion slot 21, and during the cooperation of the wire harness connector 100 and the counterpart plug 200, the counterpart plug 200 does not need to be provided with a structure for pressing against the first limiting portion 12, thereby facilitating the reduction of the design difficulty of the counterpart plug 200.

[0045] In some embodiments, the insertion through hole 22 and the terminal fixing hole 111 are coaxially communicated, and during the insertion of the wire harness connector 100 and the counterpart plug 200, the insertion through hole 22 can accurately guide the insertion pin 2001, thereby facilitating the accurate insertion of the insertion pin 2001 of the counterpart plug 200 into the terminal fixing hole 111 and the insertion and matching of the wire harness terminal 20.

[0052] In some embodiments of the utility model, one of the plug-in slot 21 and the main body part 11 has the first positioning lug 112 and the second positioning lug 113, the other has the positioning claw 211, the positioning claw 211 has a pre-assembly position and an assembly position, in the pre-assembly position, the positioning claw 211 is clamped between the first positioning lug 112 and the second positioning lug 113, and the first limiting part 12 is not pressed into the terminal fixing hole 111, in the assembly position, the positioning claw 211 is clamped with the side of the second positioning lug 113 away from the first positioning lug 112, and at least part of the first limiting part 12 is pressed into the terminal fixing hole 111 and limitedly matched with the wiring harness terminal 20.

[0053] It should be noted that the wiring harness connector 100 can be made by two manufacturers, the two manufacturers are the first manufacturer and the second manufacturer, the first manufacturer is responsible for producing the terminal fixing head 1 and the connecting plug 2, and assembling into a whole after the terminal fixing head 1 and the connecting plug 2 are produced and delivered to the second manufacturer, the second manufacturer is responsible for loading the wiring harness terminal 20 into the terminal positioning hole.

[0054] Specifically, after the first manufacturer produces the terminal fixing head 1 and the connecting plug 2, referring to Figure 8 It can be clamped between the first positioning lug 112 and the second positioning lug 113, realizing the pre-assembly of the terminal fixing head 1 and the connecting plug 2, the terminal fixing head 1 and the connecting plug 2 can be delivered as a whole, at this time, the first limiting part 12 is not pressed into the terminal fixing hole 111, which can avoid the interference between the wiring harness terminal 20 and the first limiting part 12 when the wiring harness terminal 20 is loaded into the terminal fixing hole 111, so that the second manufacturer can smoothly load the wiring harness terminal 20 into the terminal fixing hole 111 after receiving the pre-assembled terminal fixing head 1 and the connecting plug 2.

[0055] After the wiring harness terminal 20 is successfully loaded into the terminal fixing hole 111, referring to Figure 9As shown, the connecting plug 2 can be manually pressed to move the positioning clamping jaw 211 to the assembly position, so that the positioning clamping jaw 211 is clamped with the side of the second positioning protrusion 113 away from the first positioning protrusion 112, and the terminal fixing head 1 is kept in the preset position, at this time, at least part of the first limiting part 12 is pressed into the terminal fixing hole 111 and is limitedly matched with the wire harness terminal 20, so that the wire harness terminal 20 is kept in the terminal fixing hole 111 and is prevented from shaking, thereby facilitating the stability and reliability of the connection between the wire harness terminal 20 and the pin 2001 of the plug-in component 200.

When the models of the wire harness connector 100 and the counter plug 200 do not match, the insertion guide groove 23 and the counter plug 200 are misaligned during the insertion of the wire harness connector 100 and the counter plug 200, so that the insertion of the wire harness connector 100 and the counter plug 200 of different models is successful, and the misuse of the wire harness connector 100 can be effectively avoided.
