[0003] The types and characteristics of these cable connectors reflect their diversity and importance in various applications, from simple home wiring to complex industrial and automotive applications, each with its own suitable connector type. One type of connector is the clip-on connector, which uses clips to attach the connector to the conductive wire. However, this type of connector can experience poor contact between the conductive wire and the clips, leading to poor conductivity or even failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a connector assembly and a connecting cable having the same, in order to solve the problem of poor conductivity of connectors in related technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a connector assembly is provided for connecting multiple wires of a connecting cable. The connector assembly includes: a mounting plate having a plurality of first limiting grooves, each first limiting groove capable of accommodating at least one wire; a cover plate covering the mounting plate and limiting the wires located in the first limiting grooves; and a connector portion connected to the mounting plate or the cover plate, the connector portion being used for electrical connection with an external structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the connector assembly also includes an insulating limiting sleeve, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the mounting plate and the cover plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector includes a lug that connects to the mounting plate, and the lug has a connection hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the cover plate has multiple second limiting grooves on the side facing the mounting plate. Each second limiting groove can accommodate at least one wire. The multiple second limiting grooves are connected to multiple first limiting grooves one by one to limit the wires.

[0009] Furthermore, the cover plate has multiple third limiting grooves on the side away from the mounting plate, and the end of the wire can be folded back to the side of the cover plate away from the mounting plate to form a folded section. Each third limiting groove can accommodate the folded section of at least one wire.

[0010] Furthermore, the connector assembly also includes a pressing plate located on the side of the cover plate away from the mounting plate, and the folded-back section of the wire is limited between the cover plate and the pressing plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the first limiting groove is greater than or equal to 1 cm and less than or equal to 4 cm.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting plate, cover plate, and connector are integrated into a single structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting plate is made of metal; and / or, the insulating limiting sleeve is made of organic insulating material.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a connecting cable is provided, including a cable body and a connector assembly. The cable body includes multiple conductor wires, which are connected to the connector assembly, which is the connector assembly described above.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a mounting plate is used to receive multiple wires. The mounting plate is provided with multiple first limiting grooves, each capable of accommodating at least one wire. A cover plate is placed on the mounting plate and limits the wires located within the first limiting grooves. Compared to the related technologies that use clips to hold the conductive wires, in this application, at least one wire is accommodated within a first limiting groove. The first limiting groove increases the contact area between the wire and the mounting plate, resulting in better conductivity of the connector assembly. Furthermore, the first limiting groove also better limits the wire, making it less prone to displacement, thereby reducing the possibility of the connector assembly detaching from the wire and further ensuring the conductivity of the connector assembly. The connector part is connected to the mounting plate or cover plate and is used for electrical connection with an external structure. Therefore, the technical solution of this application can effectively solve the problem of poor connector conductivity in related technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides a connector assembly for connecting multiple wires 2 of a connecting cable. An embodiment of the connector assembly of this application includes: a mounting plate 10, a cover plate 20, and a connector portion 30; the mounting plate 10 is provided with a plurality of first limiting grooves 11, each first limiting groove 11 being able to accommodate at least one wire 2; the cover plate 20 covers the mounting plate 10 and limits the wires 2 located in the first limiting grooves 11; the connector portion 30 is connected to the mounting plate 10 or the cover plate 20, and the connector portion 30 is used for electrical connection with an external structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 10 is used to receive multiple wires 2. The mounting plate 10 is provided with multiple first limiting grooves 11, each capable of accommodating at least one wire 2. A cover plate 20 covers the mounting plate 10 and limits the wires 2 located within the first limiting grooves 11. Compared to related technologies that use clips to hold the conductive wires, in this embodiment, at least one wire 2 is accommodated within the first limiting groove 11. The first limiting groove 11 increases the contact area between the wire 2 and the mounting plate 10, resulting in better conductivity of the connector assembly. Furthermore, the first limiting groove 11 better limits the wire 2, making it less prone to displacement and reducing the possibility of the connector assembly detaching from the wire 2, further ensuring the conductivity of the connector assembly. The connector portion 30 is connected to the mounting plate 10 or the cover plate 20 and is used for electrical connection with an external structure. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of poor connector conductivity in related technologies.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, a first limiting groove 11 can accommodate a wire 2.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the connector assembly also includes an insulating limiting sleeve, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the mounting plate 10 and the cover plate 20. Specifically, the insulating limiting sleeve ensures the safety of the connector assembly, preventing safety issues caused by accidental contact with the mounting plate 10 or the cover plate 20 during operation. The insulating limiting sleeve is made of organic insulating material. In this embodiment, the insulating limiting sleeve is a polyethylene heat shrink film (PE heat shrink film). PE heat shrink film is a transparent thermoplastic with good flexibility and impact resistance, suitable for packaging various products, including external protection of electrical equipment. In other embodiments, the insulating retaining sleeve can be made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), polyolefin (POF), or oriented polystyrene (OPS). PVC heat shrink film has high transparency, good shrinkage performance, high strength, and adjustable shrinkage rate, making it suitable for packaging electronic products and providing additional stability and waterproofing. PP heat shrink film has good structural strength and impact resistance, making it suitable for the electrical, electronic, medical device, and pharmaceutical packaging industries. PET heat shrink film is stable at room temperature and shrinks upon heating, offering advantages such as rainproof, moisture-proof, and mildew-proof properties, and is commonly used for packaging electronic appliances and metal products. POF heat shrink film has high surface gloss, good toughness, and high tear strength, making it suitable for fully automated high-speed packaging and a replacement for traditional PVC heat shrink film, without releasing toxic gases. OPS heat shrink film has high strength, high rigidity, shape stability, and good gloss and transparency, making it suitable for finely printed trademark designs and commonly used for packaging electronic products. The application of these materials in the electrical field mainly benefits from their insulation properties, structural protection capabilities, and adaptability to environmental conditions. By selecting appropriate heat-shrinkable film materials, electrical equipment can be effectively protected from physical damage and environmental impacts.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the connector 30 includes a lug 31, which is connected to the mounting plate 10. The lug 31 has a connection hole 32. Specifically, the lug 31 increases the contact area between the connector assembly and the external structure, thereby ensuring conductivity. The connection hole 32 is used to install fasteners, thus realizing the connection between the connector 30 and the external structure.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cover plate 20 has a plurality of second limiting grooves 21 on the side facing the mounting plate 10. Each second limiting groove 21 can accommodate at least one wire 2. The plurality of second limiting grooves 21 are arranged to mate with a plurality of first limiting grooves 11 to limit the wire 2. Specifically, the second limiting grooves 21 are arranged to mate with the first limiting grooves 11 to jointly limit the wire 2, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the wire 2 and the connector assembly. In addition, the second limiting grooves 21 can also increase the contact area with the wire 2.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a plurality of third limiting grooves 22 are provided on the side of the cover plate 20 away from the mounting plate 10. The end of the wire 2 can be folded back to the side of the cover plate 20 away from the mounting plate 10 to form a folded-back section 3. Each third limiting groove 22 can accommodate at least one folded-back section 3 of the wire 2. With this arrangement, the wire 2 is connected to the connector assembly through multiple folded sections, thereby further ensuring the connection strength between the connector assembly and the wire 2, and also increasing the contact area between the wire 2 and the connector assembly. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 10 also includes a pressing plate, which is located on the side of the cover plate 20 away from the mounting plate 10 and cooperates with the cover plate 20 to limit the folded-back section. An insulating limiting sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the mounting plate 10, the cover plate 20, and the pressing plate to limit the mounting plate 10, the cover plate 20, and the pressing plate. In addition, in other embodiments, the pressing plate may not be provided, or the insulating limiting sleeve may be used to directly limit the folded-back section.

[0033] Furthermore, the mounting plate 10, cover plate 20, and connector 30 are an integral structure. Specifically, the mounting plate 10, cover plate 20, and connector 30 are an integral plate structure, and the mounting plate 10 and cover plate 20 are stacked by stamping to complete the limiting and connection of the conductor wire 2. The mounting plate 10, cover plate 20, connector 30, and pressing plate are all made of metal. In this embodiment, the mounting plate 10, cover plate 20, connector 30, and pressing plate are made of copper alloy. Copper alloy is one of the commonly used materials in cable connectors, with good conductivity and high structural strength. Copper alloy connectors are suitable for general power transmission due to their excellent conductivity and structural strength. In addition, in other embodiments, the mounting plate, cover plate, connector, and pressing plate can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or nickel-plated materials. Stainless steel connectors have excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for use in harsh environments, such as chemical and marine environments. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel connectors makes them very popular in outdoor cable connections; aluminum alloy connectors are used because of their lightweight and good conductivity. Aluminum alloys are widely used in high-power power transmission, especially in applications where weight reduction is required; nickel plating provides additional corrosion resistance and aesthetics, and is often used to improve the appearance quality of connectors and extend their service life.

[0034] Furthermore, the length of the first limiting groove 11 is greater than or equal to 1 cm and less than or equal to 4 cm. This design ensures that the size of the connector structure is not too large, while also guaranteeing a large contact area between the wire 2 and the connector structure, providing sufficient connection strength and conductivity. Specifically, the length of the first limiting groove 11 can be 1 cm, 1.4 cm, 2 cm, 2.7 cm, 3 cm, 3.5 cm, or 4 cm.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this application also provides a connecting cable, which includes a cable body 1 and a connector assembly. The cable body 1 includes multiple conductor wires 2, which are connected to the connector assembly. The connector assembly is the aforementioned connector assembly. The aforementioned connector assembly can effectively solve the problem of poor conductivity of connectors in related technologies, and the connecting cable with the aforementioned connector assembly also has the above-mentioned advantages.
