[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a short-body male connector with a buckle locking structure, comprising: a male connector outer shell 1, a guide cylinder 4 installed inside the male connector outer shell 1, and assembly openings 101 on both sides of the male connector outer shell 1. Each assembly opening 101 has a limiting component for restricting the guide cylinder 4, the limiting component including a locking member 3 on one side and a locking block 102 for displacing the other side. Two sets of assembly rings 401 are provided on the outer wall of the guide cylinder 4, with the locking member 3 and the locking block 102 located between the two assembly rings 401. The locking member 3 includes an assembly frame 301, with limiting brackets 302 provided at both the upper and lower ends of the assembly frame 301. The two sets of limiting brackets 302 are located at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the guide cylinder 4, respectively. The limiting brackets 302 and the guide cylinder... The contact surface of the guide tube 4 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 303, and an arc-shaped abutment 304 is provided at the middle position of the mounting bracket 301. After the guide tube 4 is inserted into the male connector housing 1, the position of its mounting ring 401 will be located between the two locking structures. The locking component 3 restricts the upper and lower ends of the guide tube 4 through the limiting bracket 302. The arc-shaped groove 303 can fit the shape of the guide tube 4 and limit the guide tube 4. In addition, the arc-shaped abutment 304 is used to restrict the side of the guide tube 4 close to the locking component 3, while the other side of the guide tube 4 is restricted by the locking block 102. This makes the guide tube 4 more stable and firm after installation compared to multiple springs. Moreover, the above-mentioned limiting locking structure is simple, has low manufacturing difficulty, and the overall cost of the male connector is lower.

[0025] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 The inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the assembly port 101 are provided with first limiting blocks 103, and the outer walls of the limiting bracket 302 are provided with second limiting blocks 305. The second limiting blocks 305 are installed inside the first limiting blocks 103. When the first limiting block 103 is installed at the locking member 3, it abuts against the inner side of the second limiting block 305. This structure is used to fix the locking member 3 at this position, prevent it from falling off, and improve the stability of the subsequent locking.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 A sliding fastener 2 is installed on the outer wall of the male head shell 1. The sliding fastener 2 includes a sliding fastener frame 201. The sliding fastener frame 201 has a sliding fastener groove 202 inside. Through the setting of the sliding fastener frame 201 and the sliding fastener groove 202, a fixing component can be added at the sliding fastener 2, and then it can be combined with the automotive sheet metal parts to improve its functionality.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 The male head housing 1 has a sleeve 104 installed at its front end, and the front end of the guide tube 4 extends into the sleeve 104. A channel 105 is provided between the male head housing 1 and the sleeve 104. The size of the channel 105 is smaller than that of the assembly ring 401. The male head housing 1 is used to protect the guide tube 4 inside. The sleeve 104 is set to protect the guide tube 4 extending to the front end. The male head housing 1 and the sleeve 104 are connected by the channel 105. After the guide tube 4 is installed inside, the size of its assembly ring 401 will be larger than that of the channel 105, so that the front end of the guide tube 4 can be inserted into the sleeve 104. The assembly ring 401 is restricted inside the male head housing 1 and is fixed by the latches on both sides at this position.
