[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. Figures 1-8As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a female connector is provided, including a base 1, a floating seat 2, a fixing member 3, a floating connector 4, and a power terminal 5. The base 1 and the floating seat 2 are both independently formed of insulating material, while the fixing member 3 and the floating connector 4 are both independently formed of conductive metal. The base 1 is provided with a mating part 11, and the floating seat 2 is provided with a mating groove 21. The mating part 11 is used to connect to the mating groove 21. The fixing member 3 is provided with a floating connector 31, and the floating connector 4 is disposed outside the floating seat 2 with a first contact part 41 and a second contact part 42 at both ends. The first contact part 41 is used for conductive connection, and the second contact part 42 extends to the floating connector 31 and connects with it. The inner side of the floating connecting part 31 abuts against the second contact part 42, and a limiting ring 311 is provided at the end of the floating connecting part 31. The limiting ring 311 is used to limit the movement of the second contact part 42 within the floating connecting part 31. The floating seat 2 is provided with a mating cavity 22, and the base 1 is provided with an assembly fixing cavity 12. The mating cavity 22 is opposite to the assembly fixing cavity 12. The power terminal 5 includes a pin part 51, a fixing part 52, a buffer part 53, and a power receiving part 54 connected in sequence. The fixing part 52 is disposed in the assembly fixing cavity 12. The pin part 51 extends toward one side of the floating seat 2. The cross-sectional shape of the buffer part 53 is U-shaped, and its two ends are respectively connected to the fixing part 52 and the power receiving part 54. One end of the power receiving part 54 extends into the mating cavity 22. In this embodiment, the base 1 and the floating seat 2 are independently formed from insulating materials, and the fixing part 3 and the floating connecting part 4 are independently formed from conductive metal parts. This not only facilitates manufacturing and assembly, but also allows for the selection of the optimal material for the functional characteristics of different components. The mating part 11 of the base 1 and the mating groove 21 of the floating seat 2 are tightly connected and fitted, ensuring the stability of their relative positions and laying the foundation for the structural stability of the entire connector. In the complex vibration environment of the vehicle, it can effectively prevent the components from loosening and ensure the reliable operation of the connector. The first contact part 41 of the floating connector 4 is used for conductive connection, providing a path for signal transmission; the second contact part 42 extends to the floating connection part 31 and abuts against the inner side. Combined with the limiting ring 311 at the end of the floating connection part 31, the second contact part 42 is limited to move within the floating connection part 31. The floating seat 2 is allowed to float within a certain range to compensate for possible positional deviations of the vehicle camera during installation and use, while ensuring the stability of the conductive connection and avoiding contact problems caused by positional changes, effectively improving the connector's adaptability to different installation conditions. The pin part 51 of the power terminal 5 extends towards the floating seat 2, facilitating connection with the corresponding component of the vehicle camera. The fixing part 52 is disposed in the assembly fixing cavity 12 to ensure the stable installation of the power terminal 5 on the base 1. The buffer section 53 has a U-shaped cross section, and its unique shape gives the electrical terminal 5 good buffering performance.During vehicle operation, vibrations and impacts are inevitable. The U-shaped buffer 53 absorbs and disperses these external forces, preventing damage to the electrical connector 54 caused by external impacts, extending the service life of the electrical connector 5, and ensuring the stability of signal transmission. One end of the electrical connector 54 extends into the mating cavity 22, achieving precise mating with the male connector of the vehicle-mounted camera, ensuring a reliable electrical connection and guaranteeing accurate and efficient transmission of image data and other signals, meeting the real-time and stable operation requirements of the vehicle-mounted camera. This embodiment ensures various needs of the vehicle-mounted camera in actual use. Through optimized mechanical structure and electrical connection design, it performs excellently in terms of stability, adaptability, and signal transmission reliability, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the vehicle-mounted camera system.

[0032] See Figure 7 As shown, the bottom surface of the base 1 is provided with a pin positioning groove 13, which is used for positioning the pin portion 51. The pin portion 51 extends to the outside of the pin positioning groove 13. A fixing groove 121 is provided on one side of the assembly fixing cavity 12, and assembly sliding grooves 122 are provided on both sides of the fixing groove 121. Assembly sliders 521 are provided on both sides of the fixing portion 52, and the assembly sliders 521 are slidably mounted on the assembly sliding grooves 122. The assembly fixing cavity 12 provides movement space for the buffer portion 53. In this embodiment, the pin positioning groove 13 precisely positions the pin portion 51, ensuring that the pin can quickly and accurately fall into the predetermined position during installation, greatly improving the convenience and stability of connector assembly and effectively reducing the probability of signal transmission failure caused by pin installation deviation. The cooperative design of the assembly sliders 521 and the assembly sliding grooves 122 allows the fixing portion 52 to slide smoothly within the assembly fixing cavity 12. This not only provides adequate space for the buffer section 53 to move, but also effectively buffers the impact forces caused by vibration and bumps during vehicle operation, preventing loosening of the connection and ensuring the reliability of signal transmission. The synergistic effect of the fixing groove 121, the mounting slider 521, and the slide groove further enhances the overall structural stability of the connector. When facing the complex and ever-changing vehicle environment, the female connector can always maintain a good connection state, reducing the risk of connection failure caused by external forces.

[0033] One end of the buffer portion 53 is close to the wall of the mounting cavity 12. When the buffer portion 53 is deformed under pressure, the end of the buffer portion 53 abuts against the wall of the mounting cavity 12 to limit the deformation of the buffer portion 53. In this embodiment, when vibration or impact occurs during vehicle operation, the buffer portion 53 will deform under pressure. At this time, the end of the buffer portion 53 abuts against the wall of the mounting cavity 12, precisely limiting the deformation of the buffer portion 53. This effectively avoids performance failure caused by excessive deformation of the buffer portion 53. From the perspective of improving the overall performance of the female connector, this design greatly enhances the connector's vibration resistance. In the frequently vibrating vehicle environment, it can stably maintain the stability of the electrical connection and reduce problems such as poor contact and signal interruption caused by vibration. Moreover, limiting the deformation of the buffer portion 53 extends the service life of the buffer portion 53 itself and the entire female connector, reducing maintenance costs and equipment downtime risks caused by premature component failure.

[0034] A limiting inner ring 221 is provided at the end of the insertion cavity 22, which is used to limit the end of the contact part 54; the end of the limiting inner ring 221 is provided with a guide slope; the end of the floating seat 2 is provided with a retaining ring 23, which is used to limit the end of the floating connector 4. In this embodiment, the limiting inner ring 23 precisely limits the end of the contact part 54, effectively ensuring the accurate position of the contact part 54 during the mating process, greatly improving the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. The specially designed guide slope at its end can play a good guiding role during the mating operation, allowing the contact part 54 to be inserted into the insertion cavity 22 more smoothly, significantly reducing the resistance and possible deviations during the insertion process, thereby improving the overall mating efficiency of the connector. The retaining ring 23 provided at the end of the floating seat 2 undertakes the key task of limiting the end of the floating connector 4. This design can effectively limit the movement range of the floating connector 4, ensuring that it always stays in a reasonable position range during normal operation, avoiding the impact on the performance of the connector due to excessive movement.

[0035] Both the mating part 11 and the mating groove 21 are circular in their axial view. A guide slope is provided at the end of the mating part 11 facing the mating groove 21, and a mating slope is provided in the mating groove 21, for guiding the mating of both. In this embodiment, the circular axial view shape not only facilitates precise positioning and docking during installation, reducing installation errors caused by shape deviations, but also enhances the overall structural stability of the connector. The guide slope is carefully provided at the end of the mating part 11 facing the mating groove 21, and the mating groove 21 is correspondingly equipped with a mating slope. These two slopes play a crucial guiding role when the two mate. During the connection operation, the guide slope and the mating slope interact, guiding the mating part 11 to slide accurately into the mating groove 21. This is particularly important in automotive environments where connection stability and reliability are extremely critical.

[0036] The base 1 is provided with a fixed platform 14, and fixed blocks 141 are provided on both sides of the fixed platform 14. A fixed slot 142 is provided between the fixed blocks 141 and the fixed platform 14, and the two sides of the fixing member 3 are engaged in the fixed slot 142. Specifically, the two sides of the fixed platform 14 are provided with fastening grooves 143, and the two sides of the fixing member 3 are provided with fastening pieces 32. The fastening grooves 143 are located on the bottom surface of the fixed platform 14, and the fastening pieces 32 are fastened into the fastening grooves 143. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the fixed blocks 141 and the fixed slots 142 provides a stable installation foundation for the fixing member 3, ensuring that the fixing member 3 remains stable in the complex environment of the vehicle, greatly enhancing the overall structural reliability of the connector. During vehicle operation, it is inevitable to be affected by external forces such as vibration and bumps. This stable connection method can effectively resist these external forces and reduce problems such as signal transmission interruption caused by loose connection. The design of the fastening grooves 143 and the fastening pieces 32 further enhances this effect. The locking groove 143 is located on the bottom surface of the fixed platform 14, and the locking piece 32 engages precisely with it, further optimizing the stability and sealing of the connection. On the one hand, it prevents dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the connector, avoiding damage to electronic components and extending the connector's lifespan; on the other hand, the tight locking design helps improve the stability of signal transmission, ensuring that the image data collected by the vehicle camera can be accurately and quickly transmitted to relevant equipment, providing the driver with clear and reliable visual information and ensuring driving safety.

[0037] The bottom surface of the fastener 3 is provided with fixing plates 33. Multiple fixing plates 33 are arranged circumferentially around the outer periphery of the fastener 3 for fixing the fastener 3 to the plate end. In this embodiment, the multiple fixing plates 33 arranged circumferentially around the outer periphery of the fastener 3 greatly enhance the stability of the connection between the fastener 3 and the plate end. In the complex driving environment of a vehicle, vibrations and bumps are inevitable. The multiple circumferentially distributed fixing plates 33 can evenly distribute force from different directions, effectively resisting external impacts and ensuring that the fastener 3 is always stably connected to the plate end, avoiding signal transmission problems due to loosening, and ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of the vehicle camera.

[0038] The outer periphery of the floating seat 2 is provided with an assembly slot 24 and a positioning strip 25. The floating connector 4 is provided with an assembly buckle 43 and a positioning slot 44. The positioning slot 44 is used to engage with the positioning strip 25 to position the floating connector 4 directionally on the floating seat 2. The assembly buckle 43 is used to cooperate with the assembly slot 24 to position the floating connector 4 directionally on the floating seat 2. In this embodiment, the design of the positioning slot 44 engaging with the positioning strip 25 can accurately position the floating connector 4 directionally on the floating seat 2. In the complex vibration environment of an vehicle, this positioning method effectively ensures the accuracy of the angle between the floating connector 4 and the floating seat 2 during connection, avoiding problems such as unstable signal transmission or poor contact caused by angle deviation. At the same time, the tight cooperation between the assembly buckle 43 and the assembly slot 24 further enhances the positioning effect of the floating connector 4 on the floating seat 2. This not only helps to improve the stability of the connection between the two and reduce the loosening that may be caused by vehicle bumps, but also provides clear assembly instructions for operators during the assembly process, which greatly improves assembly efficiency and quality.

[0039] Both the mounting slot 24 and the positioning slot 44 are elongated grooves to provide space for the floating seat 2 to move axially. In this embodiment, the design of the elongated grooves allows the floating seat 2 to obtain precise and stable space during axial movement, effectively ensuring the connection stability between the connector components. In a vehicle environment, vibrations and bumps are inevitable during vehicle operation. Within the space provided by the mounting slot 24 and the positioning slot 44, the floating seat 2 can flexibly adjust axially to compensate for component positional shifts caused by vibrations and other factors. This ensures that the female connector and the vehicle camera board always maintain a good electrical connection, greatly reducing the risk of signal transmission interruption or instability.

[0040] The first contact portion 41 is arc-shaped and protrudes towards the outer periphery of the floating connector 4. The floating connector 4 has multiple grooves to divide the first contact portion 41 into multiple parts. The second contact portion 42 has a V-shaped cross-section, with one end connected to the floating connector 4 and the other end connected to a concave ramp 421. A contact point 422 is formed between the concave ramp 421 and the second contact portion 42 for contacting the fixing member 3. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped first contact portion 41 protrudes towards the outer periphery of the floating connector 4 and is divided into multiple parts by multiple grooves, enhancing the flexibility and stability of contact with corresponding components. Multiple independent arc-shaped first contact portions 41 can better adapt to minor deviations and vibrations during the connection process, ensuring reliable electrical connection even in complex vehicle driving environments and reducing signal interruptions caused by loosening or poor contact. The unique V-shaped cross-section design of the second contact portion 42, combined with one end connected to the floating connector 4 and the other end connected to the concave ramp 421 forming a contact point 422 for contacting the fixing member 3, further improves the connector's performance. The V-shaped cut effectively disperses stress during connection, preventing localized stress concentration from damaging the connector. The fit between the concave ramp 421 and the contact point 422 makes the connection between the fixing member 3 and the female connector more secure, while also facilitating connection and disassembly operations. This ensures that the mechanical and electrical performance of the connector remains good even under frequent plugging and unplugging, effectively guaranteeing the stable operation of the vehicle camera system.

[0041] The power receiving part 54 is provided with fastening buckles 541 on both sides, which are used to tightly fit the power receiving part 54 onto the mating cavity 22. One end of the power receiving part 54 is provided with an elastic clamping part 542, which is arranged in a ring array with multiple elastic clamping parts 542 spaced apart. The end of the elastic clamping part 542 is provided with a guide ramp 543. In this embodiment, under the complex vibration environment and electrical interference conditions of the vehicle, the power receiving part 54 and the mating cavity 22 are kept tightly connected at all times, effectively avoiding problems such as signal transmission interruption or poor contact caused by loosening. The multiple elastic clamping parts 542 are arranged in a ring array with spaced apart. This layout can not only firmly clamp the connected object from all directions, but also adaptively adjust according to the mating parts of different sizes, enhancing the versatility and compatibility of the connector. The guide ramp 543 provided at the end of the elastic clamping part 542 further optimizes the mating process. During docking, the ramp 543 guides the docking components to insert smoothly, reducing docking difficulty, improving docking efficiency, and reducing the risk of component damage due to improper insertion, thus further enhancing the performance of the vehicle camera board connector in practical applications.
