DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with embodiments.

[0042] To solve the problems in the prior art, the basic idea of the utility model is to connect various cable components into an integrated structure by using a connecting body, so that the overall assembly of multiple cable components can be realized, the assembly steps are reduced and the assembly difficulty is lowered, and thus the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0043] Specific embodiment 1 of the cable connector provided by the utility model:

[0044] In the utility model, the plug-in direction of the cable connector is the front-back direction, and the end of the cable connector and the adapter connector is the front end.

[0045] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 , the accompanying drawings Figure 2 , and the accompanying drawings Figure 3 , the cable connector comprises a shell, a wire binding piece 4, and a cable module 3 inserted into the shell.

[0046] The shell comprises an outer shell 1 and a middle shell 2. Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 and the accompanying drawings Figure 5 , the front end of the outer shell 1 is used for guiding cooperation with the outer shell of the adapter connector when the adapter connector is inserted, and this part of structure is the prior art and will not be described again. An end face of the rear end of the outer shell 1 is provided with an assembly cavity 11 for loading the middle shell 2 from the rear to the front, and after the middle shell 2 is loaded into the assembly cavity 11, the rear end face of the middle shell 2 is aligned with the rear end face of the outer shell 1. Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 5 and in combination with the accompanying drawings Figure 6 , the accompanying drawings Figure 7 , the accompanying drawings Figure 8 , a plurality of guide bars 13 extending in the front-back direction are arranged on the cavity side wall of the assembly cavity 11, and a guide groove 23 extending in the front-back direction and used for guiding cooperation with the guide bars 13 is arranged on the side wall of the middle shell 2, and the cooperation of the guide groove 23 and the guide bars 13 can improve the convenience of the installation of the middle shell 2 into the outer shell 1.

[0047] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 16 and the accompanying drawingsFigure 17 The front end surface of the middle shell 2 and the front side wall surface of the assembly cavity 11 are provided with a grounding plate 5, which is limited in the front-rear direction by the front side of the assembly cavity 11 and the front end surface of the middle shell 2 respectively, and the outer shell 1 and the middle shell 2 are provided with an anti-extraction structure for limiting the middle shell 2 in the front-rear direction to prevent the middle shell 2 from being extracted from the outer shell 1.

[0048] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 10 , the accompanying drawings Figure 11 , and the accompanying drawings Figure 12 , the cable module 3 includes four cable components 31 arranged in a row, each cable component 31 including a cable body 311, a terminal 312 provided at one end of the cable body 311, an insulator 313 for insulating between the terminal 312 and the shield 314, and a shield 314 including a main body portion 3141 surrounding the corresponding terminal 312, a clamping jaw clamping the corresponding cable body 311, and a connecting arm 3142 connected between the main body portion 3141 and the clamping jaw, the clamping jaw being located behind the main body portion 3141. The main body portion 3141 of the shield 314 is used to electromagnetically shield the terminal 312, and the clamping jaw is used to stably connect the shield 314 and the cable body 311, and also allows the shield 314 to be grounded with the shielding layer of the cable body 311 by clamping the shielding layer of the cable body 311 with the clamping jaw. The shield 314 is composed of a shielding shell and a shielding cover, and its structure is the same as that of the shielding shell and the shielding cover in the Chinese invention patent with the application publication number CN116505314A, which will not be described again.

[0049] The cable module 3 further includes a connecting body 32 connecting each cable component 31 in the row into a whole, the connecting body 32 being specifically an injection molded body, the connecting body 32 being connected with each cable component 31 at the position of the clamping jaw and covering the clamping jaw, which on the one hand can prevent the clamping jaw from being loosened from the corresponding cable body 311, and on the other hand, since the clamping jaw is smaller in size than the main body portion 3141 of the shield 314, setting the connecting body 32 at this position can make the size of the connecting body 32 smaller, saving the internal space of the cable connector.

[0050] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 6 and the accompanying drawings Figure 9 , the middle shell 2 is provided with a mounting cavity 21 for mounting the connecting body 32, the mounting cavity 21 being a long strip-shaped hole penetrating through the middle shell 2 in the front-rear direction, referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 10The connector 32 is provided with a protruding buckle 321, and the cavity side wall of the mounting cavity 21 is provided with a clamping hole 22 for clamping cooperation with the buckle 321. The clamping hole 22 is a blind hole, and the buckle 321 is a wedge-shaped structure, and the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped structure is located at the front end of the buckle 321, so that the connector 32 can be inserted into the corresponding mounting cavity 21 from back to front, and the buckle 321 can be matched with the clamping hole 22. Each cable module 3 can be pre-assembled with the middle shell 2 by using the buckle 321 and the clamping hole 22, which is convenient for subsequent overall assembly.

[0051] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 16 After each cable module 3 is installed on the middle shell 2, the shielding part 314 of the cable module 3 protrudes forward from the middle shell 2. At this time, the grounding plate 5 is installed at the front end of the middle shell 2. The grounding plate 5 is provided with an opening through which each shielding part 314 passes. The hole side wall of the opening is in contact with the corresponding shielding part 314. Then, the middle shell 2 is installed in the assembly cavity 11 of the outer shell 1. The front side wall surface of the assembly cavity 11 and the front end of the outer shell 1 are provided with a through hole 12 through which each shielding part 314 passes. The through hole 12 can make each shielding part 314 and the terminal 312 protrude to the front end of the outer shell 1, and can also limit and maintain the posture of the shielding part 314.

[0052] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 13 , the accompanying drawings Figure 14 and the accompanying drawings Figure 15 The wire bundling piece 4 has a comb-shaped structure as a whole, including a base part 41 and a tooth part 42 arranged on the same side of the base part 41 in the width direction and along the length direction of the base part 41. The shell is provided with an assembly hole 6 for inserting the tooth part 42 of the wire bundling piece 4. The assembly hole 6 penetrates the middle shell 2 and the outer shell 1 at the same time. After the wire bundling piece 4 is inserted into the assembly hole 6, the middle shell 2 can be kept stable relative to the outer shell 1, thereby limiting the middle shell 2 in the front-back direction, so as to avoid the middle shell 2 from being pulled out of the outer shell 1. Therefore, the wire bundling piece 4 constitutes an anti-pulling-out structure. The end of the tooth part 42 away from the base part 41 is provided with a chamfer, and the hole opening position of the assembly hole 6 is also provided with a chamfer, so as to facilitate the insertion and assembly. Each tooth part 42 is provided with a protrusion 43 for closely cooperating with the hole wall of the assembly hole 6, so as to avoid the wire bundling piece 4 from falling off the shell.

[0053] The number of tooth parts 42 on the wire bundling piece 4 corresponds to the number of cable modules 3. Since the cable modules 3 are arranged in a staggered manner in the shell, the tooth parts 42 of the wire bundling piece 4 have different lengths corresponding to the cable modules 3. In the embodiment, the cable module 3 is provided with a limiting surface 322 perpendicular to the plug-in direction. The end of the tooth part 42 of the wire bundling piece 4 away from the base part 41 can extend into the shell and reach the front side or the rear side of the limiting surface 322, so as to limit the cable module 3 in the forward or rearward direction.

[0054] Specifically, referring to the accompanying drawingsFigure 17 and in conjunction with the appendix Figure 10 In this embodiment, the front end face of the connector 32 on the cable module 3 is used as the limiting surface 322. A space is left between the front end face of the connector 32 and the rear end of the main body 3141 of the shield 314. The end of the tooth 42 of the cable tie 4 away from the base 41 extends into the space between the front end face of the connector 32 and the rear end of the main body 3141 of the shield 314, and fits tightly against the front end face of the connector 32. At this time, the end of the tooth 42 away from the base 41 is located in front of the limiting surface 322. Therefore, the cable tie 4 can provide forward limiting for the cable module 3. The cable module 3 can also be limited in the rearward direction by the engagement of the buckle 321 and the locking hole 22. Therefore, the cable module 3 can remain stable inside the housing and will not come out. The cable tie 4, buckle 321, and locking hole 22 all constitute a limiting structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, each cable module 3 can be assembled onto the middle housing 2 as a whole, eliminating the need to install each cable component 31 within the cable module 3 individually. This reduces the assembly steps of the cable connector, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, since the cross-sectional dimensions of the connector 32 of each cable module 3 are larger than those of a single cable component 31, and the mounting cavity 21 on the middle housing 2 for installing the connector 32 is also larger, alignment during assembly is easier, reducing assembly difficulty and further improving assembly efficiency.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wire harness 4 is used to limit the movement between the outer shell 1, the middle shell 2, and the cable module 3. The number of wire harness 4 is relatively small, thus improving assembly efficiency. Moreover, with the wire harness 4, it is unnecessary to use a locking structure similar to that in Chinese invention patent application publication number CN116505314A to prevent the middle shell 2 from detaching from the outer shell 1. This simplifies the structure of the middle shell 2 and the outer shell 1, facilitating the design and processing of their injection molds and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0057] Specific embodiment 2 of the cable connector provided by this utility model:

[0058] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the connector in this embodiment covers the claw, the connecting arm, and the rear of the main body. This enables stronger connection stability between cable components in the same cable module. However, since the connector in this embodiment needs to cover the rear of the main body, the cross-sectional size of the connector is larger.

[0059] Specific embodiment 3 of the cable connector provided by this utility model:

[0060] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, and the difference from Embodiment 1 is as follows (see Appendix).Figure 18 In the embodiment, the connecting body 32 comprises two parts capable of being buckled to each other, and the two parts are both provided with embedding grooves for embedding corresponding parts of the cable main body 311 and the shielding member 314. The corresponding embedding grooves of the two parts are buckled to each other after the two parts are buckled, and the two parts can be fixedly connected by means of gluing or hot riveting.

[0061] A specific embodiment 4 of the cable connector provided by the utility model:

[0062] In the embodiment, the buckle is arranged on the cavity side wall of the mounting cavity of the middle shell, and the clamping hole is arranged on the side surface of the connecting body. In order to facilitate the installation of the connecting body, the inclined surface of the buckle is arranged at the rear end of the buckle.

In order to facilitate the installation of the connecting body, the inclined surface of the buckle is arranged at the rear end of the buckle.

[0065] A specific embodiment 6 of the cable connector provided by the utility model:

[0066] In the embodiment, the buckle is arranged on the cavity side wall of the mounting cavity of the middle shell, and the clamping hole is arranged on the side surface of the connecting body. In order to facilitate the installation of the connecting body, the inclined surface of the buckle is arranged at the rear end of the buckle. Figure 19 In the embodiment, the front end surface of the connecting body 32 is connected with the rear end of the main body part 3141 of the shielding member 314, and a limiting groove for inserting the tooth part 42 of the wire binding sheet 4 is arranged on the connecting body 32. The front side and the rear side of the limiting groove are both formed with limiting surfaces 322. The front side of the limiting groove is formed with a front limiting surface 3221, and the rear side of the limiting groove is formed with a rear limiting surface 3222. The end of the tooth part 42, which is away from the base part 41, is located at the rear side of the front limiting surface 3221 and limits the wire cable module 3 in the rear direction by cooperating with the front limiting surface 3221. The end of the tooth part 42, which is away from the base part 41, is located at the front side of the rear limiting surface 3222 and limits the wire cable module 3 in the front direction by cooperating with the rear limiting surface 3222.

[0067] In one embodiment of the embodiment, the wire cable module 3 can be limited in the front and rear directions by the cooperation of the wire binding sheet 4 and the limiting groove, so that the buckle 321 and the clamping hole 22 can be no longer arranged. However, the buckle 321 and the clamping hole 22 can realize the pre-assembly of the wire cable module 3 and the middle shell 2, so that the buckle 321 and the clamping hole 22 can still be retained in other embodiments of the embodiment.

[0068] The cable connector provided by the utility model has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, convenient disassembly and convenient maintenance.

[0069] The embodiment is based on the embodiment 1, and differs from the embodiment 1 in that, referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 20 In the embodiment, the shielding member 314 is provided with a limiting groove for inserting the tooth portion 42 of the bundle wire sheet 4, the groove wall surfaces of the front side and the rear side of the limiting groove both constitute limiting surfaces 322, wherein the front side groove wall surface of the limiting groove constitutes a front limiting surface 3221, the rear side groove wall surface of the limiting groove constitutes a rear limiting surface 3222, and the end of the tooth portion 42, which is away from the base portion 41, is located at the rear side of the front limiting surface 3221 and limits the cable module 3 in the rear direction through cooperation with the front limiting surface 3221, and the end of the tooth portion 42, which is away from the base portion 41, is located at the front side of the rear limiting surface 3222 and limits the cable module 3 in the front direction through cooperation with the rear limiting surface 3222.
