Existing female connectors cannot simultaneously meet the requirements for both electrical and signal transmission. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a female connector that can solve the problem that existing female connectors cannot simultaneously satisfy electrical transmission and signal transmission.

[0004] This application provides a female connector, comprising: a body having a first channel for inserting a power terminal and a second channel for inserting a signal terminal, the first channel and the second channel respectively penetrating the body along a first direction and spaced apart along a second direction; the body having a first surface intersecting a third direction, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersecting each other; and a locking member comprising a body and at least one first locking part and at least two second locking parts disposed on the body, the body covering the first surface along the third direction, the second locking parts being inserted into the first surface and extending into the second channel, and the first locking parts being inserted into the first surface and extending into the first channel; wherein the first locking part can abut against the power terminal along the first direction to lock the power terminal; the at least two second locking parts are spaced apart along the second direction, and adjacent two second locking parts can clamp the signal terminal to lock the signal terminal.

[0005] The beneficial effect of this application is that it provides a female connector, which includes a body and a locking member. The body has a first channel for inserting a power terminal and a second channel for inserting a signal terminal. The locking member includes a body and at least one first locking part and at least two second locking parts disposed on the body. The body covers a first surface of the body along a third direction. The second locking parts are inserted into the first surface and extend into the second channel along a third direction. The first locking parts are inserted into the first surface and extend into the first channel along a third direction. The first locking parts can abut against the power terminal along a first direction to lock the power terminal. At least two second locking parts are spaced apart along a second direction. Two adjacent second locking parts can clamp the signal terminal to lock the signal terminal. The connector incorporates terminals, allowing the power terminal to be inserted into the first channel and the signal terminal into the second channel. The main body is then positioned along a third direction on the first surface, where a first locking part is inserted into the first channel to lock the power terminal within it, ensuring its installation stability. Simultaneously, a second locking part is inserted into the second channel to clamp and lock the signal terminal within it, ensuring its installation stability as well. This integration of power and signal terminals into a single female connector ensures stable current and signal transmission, thereby guaranteeing the operational stability of the female connector. While achieving miniaturization and lightweight design, the FAKRA connector also maintains stable operation. Furthermore, the plug-in connection between the locking element and the main body facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, improving efficiency. This allows the female connector to be compatible with different terminals and wires, connecting to different wire harnesses and enabling signal transmission and reception across various application scenarios and technical standards, demonstrating excellent compatibility and flexibility.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, a female connector 1 is provided, as shown in the reference... Figures 1-4 The female connector 1 includes a body 10 and a locking element 20.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-2 , Figures 4 to 10 The main body 10 has a first channel 110 for inserting the power terminal 2, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 , Figures 3-9 The main body 10 also has a second channel 120 for inserting signal terminals 3. The first channel 110 and the second channel 120 respectively penetrate the main body 10 along the first direction X, and the first channel 110 and the second channel 120 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 8 The main body 10 has a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 arranged opposite each other along a third direction Z, a third surface 103 and a fourth surface 104 arranged opposite each other along a second direction Y, and a fifth surface 105 and a sixth surface 106 arranged opposite each other along a first direction X, wherein the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect each other in pairs, as shown in the figure. Figures 1-12 In the embodiment shown, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are orthogonal to each other. Specifically, the first direction X is parallel to the length direction of the body 10, the second direction Y is parallel to the width direction of the body 10, and the third direction Z is parallel to the thickness direction of the body 10.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-2 , Figures 4-5 as well as Figures 11-12 The locking member 20 includes a body 21 and at least one first locking part 22 and at least two second locking parts 23 disposed on the body 21, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The main body 21 is covered on the first surface 101 of the main body 10 along the third direction Z, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The second locking part 23 is inserted into the first surface 101 along the third direction Z and extends into the second channel 120, and the first locking part 22 is inserted into the first surface 101 along the third direction Z and extends into the first channel 110.

[0032] Among them, reference Figures 1-2 as well as Figure 12 The first locking part 22 can abut against the power terminal 2 along the first direction X to lock the power terminal 2, see reference. Figure 4 as well as Figures 11-12 At least two second locking parts 23 are spaced apart along the second direction Y, as shown in the reference. Figure 4 and Figure 12 The two adjacent second locking parts 23 can clamp the signal terminal 3 to lock the signal terminal 3.

[0033] FAKRA connectors are primarily used in vehicle navigation systems, in-vehicle electronic instruments, 360-degree panoramic systems, and in-vehicle autonomous driving systems. FAKRA connectors consist of a female connector and a male connector that mate to achieve the transmission of both current and signals. However, existing female connectors cannot simultaneously meet the requirements for both electrical and signal transmission.

[0034] The female connector 1 provided in this embodiment includes a body 10 and a locking member 20. The body 10 has a first channel 110 for inserting a power terminal 2 and a second channel 120 for inserting a signal terminal 3. The opening of the first channel 110 and the second channel 120 allows the power terminal 2 and the signal terminal 3 to be integrated into the body 10 of the female connector 1, thereby improving space utilization. The locking member 20 includes a body 21 and at least one first locking part 22 and at least two second locking parts 23 disposed on the body 21. When the power terminal 2 is inserted into the first channel 110 and the signal terminal 3 is inserted into the second channel 120, the body 21 covers the first surface 101 of the body 10 along the third direction Z, so that the second locking parts 23 are inserted into the first surface 101 along the third direction Z. The first locking part 22 is inserted into the second channel 120 along the third direction Z and inserted into the first surface 101 and into the first channel 110. The first locking part 22 inserted into the first channel 110 can abut against the power terminal 2 along the first direction X to lock the power terminal 2, so as to ensure the installation stability of the power terminal 2 in the first channel 110. The second locking part 23 inserted into the second channel 120 can clamp and lock the signal terminal 3, so as to ensure the installation stability of the signal terminal 3 in the second channel 120. While integrating the power terminal 2 and the signal terminal 3 into the same female connector 1, the stability of current transmission and signal transmission is ensured, thereby ensuring the working stability of the female connector 1. While meeting the requirements of miniaturization and lightweight design of the female connector 1, the stability of FAKRA connector is ensured. Moreover, the locking part 20 and the main body 10 are plug-in connected, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, improves assembly efficiency, and allows the female connector 1 to match different terminals and thus different wires, and can connect different wire harnesses to realize signal transmission and reception in different application scenarios and technical standards, with good compatibility and flexibility.

[0035] Furthermore, the structural design of the first channel 110 and the second channel 120 being spaced apart along the second direction Y can meet the spacing requirements between the power terminal 2 and the signal terminal 3, thereby enabling the FAKRA connector formed by mating the female connector 1 and the male connector to meet the customer's high voltage 48V requirement.

[0036] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1-9 There are two first channels 110, which are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z. Each first channel 110 has a power terminal 2 inserted in it. There is one second channel 120, which has a signal terminal 3 inserted in it. Thus, the female connector 1 provided in this embodiment forms a "2+1" bit integrated connector.

[0037] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1-2 , Figure 6 as well as Figures 9-10 The main body 10 includes a first limiting part 130 protruding from the first channel 110. The first limiting part 130 can abut against the power terminal 2 along the first direction X to restrict the movement of the power terminal 2 along the first direction X. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The first locking part 22 and the first limiting part 130 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y to cooperate with the first limiting part 130 to lock the power terminal 2. When the power terminal 2 is inserted into the first channel 110, the first limiting part 130 can be used to initially position and limit the power terminal 2, so that the power terminal 2 can be kept in the first channel 110. When the signal terminal 3 is inserted into the second channel 120, the second limiting part 140 can be used to initially position and limit the signal terminal 3, so that the signal terminal 3 can be kept in the second channel 120.

[0038] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 10 as well as Figures 12-13 The power terminal 2 includes a base 201 and a protrusion 202 protruding from the base 201. Specifically, the power terminal 2 is inserted into the first channel 110. The base 201 extends along the first direction X, and a wire harness for transmitting current is provided inside the base 201. The protrusion 202 protrudes from one end of the base 201 adjacent to the fifth surface 105 of the main body 10 along the first direction X. (Refer to...) Figure 2 as well as Figures 9-10 The first limiting portion 130 can abut against the protrusion 202 along the first direction X, and the first limiting portion 130 and the base 201 are spaced apart along the second direction Y to define the insertion cavity 1301. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 10 The insertion cavity 1301 penetrates the first surface 101 along the third direction Z, as specifically as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the insertion cavity 1301 extends through the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 along the third direction Z. (Refer to...) Figure 2 as well as Figures 11-12 The first locking part 22 includes a plate 221 and a plug-in part 222 protruding from the plate 221. The plate 221 is parallel to the third surface 103 of the main body 10. The plug-in part 222 extends along the first direction X. The plug-in part 222 can be inserted into the plug-in cavity 1301. The plug-in part 222 can abut against the protrusion 202 along the first direction X to cooperate with the first limiting part 130 to lock the power terminal 2.

[0039] Specifically, the power terminal 2 is inserted into the first channel 110, the protrusion 202 abuts against the first limiting part 130 along the first direction X, the first limiting part 130 and the base 201 define a plug-in cavity 1301, the body 21 of the locking member 20 covers the first surface 101, the first locking part 22 is inserted into the first surface 101, the plate 221 and the plug-in part 222 on the plate 221 extend into the first channel 110, the plate 221 is parallel to the third surface 103 of the main body 10, the plug-in part 222 is inserted into the plug-in cavity 1301 along the third direction Z and abuts against the protrusion 202 along the first direction X, so that the plug-in part 222 locks the power terminal 2 in the first channel 110, and the plug-in part 222 cooperates with the first limiting part 130 to lock the power terminal 2 in the first channel 110. The structural design of the plug-in part 222 allows the power terminal 2 to be positioned in the first channel 110 after the power terminal 2 is inserted into the first channel 110 and the first locking part 22 is also inserted into the first channel 110. This, combined with the restriction on the movement of the power terminal 2 by the first limiting part 130, further enhances the locking effect of the power terminal 2 in the first channel 110, ensuring the installation stability of the power terminal 2 in the first channel 110. Moreover, the structural design of the plug-in part 222 abutting against the power terminal 2 prevents the power terminal 2 from falling off or loosening, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the power terminal 2 in the first channel 110 and the stability of current transmission.

[0040] In some embodiments, the number of plug-in portions 222 is two, and the two plug-in portions 222 are spaced apart along a third direction Z. One plug-in portion 222 can abut against the protrusion 202 of a power terminal 2 along a first direction X. In other implementations, the number of plug-in portions 222 can be selected according to actual usage requirements, as long as it is ensured that one plug-in portion 222 can abut against the protrusion 202 of a power terminal 2 along the first direction X.

[0041] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 10The first limiting part 130 includes a first connecting end 131 and a first limiting end 132 disposed opposite to each other along the first direction X. The first connecting end 131 is connected to the main body 10, and the first limiting end 132 is suspended inside the first channel 110. The first limiting end 132 can abut against the protrusion 202 to restrict the movement of the power terminal 2 along the first direction X. That is, the first limiting part 130 restricts the movement of the power terminal 2 along the first direction X by abutting against the protrusion 202 through the first limiting end 132. Moreover, the structural design of the first limiting end 132 abutting against the power terminal 2 can prevent the power terminal 2 from falling off or loosening, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the power terminal 2 in the first channel 110. In addition, the structural design of the first limiting end 132 being suspended inside the first channel 110 can increase the overall elasticity of the first limiting part 130, thereby preventing the first limiting end 132 from damaging the power terminal 2 while abutting against it, ensuring the service life and operational stability of the power terminal 2.

[0042] Furthermore, the plug portion 222 is inserted into the plug cavity 1301, so that the plug portion 222 and the first limiting end 132 together abut against the protrusion 202 of the power terminal 2 along the first direction X. This allows the plug portion 222 and the first limiting end 132 to cooperate in restricting the power terminal 2, while preventing the plug portion 222 and the first limiting end 132 from shaking, ensuring the installation stability of the power terminal 2 in the first channel 110, and ensuring the stability of current transmission.

[0043] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The plug-in portion 222 and the first limiting end 132 are spaced apart along the second direction Y.

[0044] In some embodiments, the plug portion 222 abuts against the first limiting end 132 along the second direction Y.

[0045] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 The main body 10 includes a second limiting part 140 protruding from the second channel 120. The second limiting part 140 can abut against the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X to restrict the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 3 and Figure 8In the illustrated embodiment, the second limiting part 140 includes a second connecting end 141 and a second limiting end 142 disposed opposite to each other along the first direction X. The second connecting end 141 is connected to the main body 10, and the second limiting end 142 is suspended inside the second channel 120. The second limiting end 142 can abut against the signal terminal 3 to restrict the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction. When the signal terminal 3 is inserted into the second channel 120, the second limiting part 140 can perform preliminary positioning and limiting of the signal terminal 3, so that the signal terminal 3 can be kept in the second channel 120, thereby forming a positioning and limiting of the signal terminal 3 in the second channel 120. Moreover, the structural design of the second limiting end 142 abutting against the signal terminal 3 can prevent the signal terminal 3 from falling off or loosening, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the signal terminal 3 in the second channel 120 and ensuring the stability of signal transmission. The structural design of the second limiting end 142 being suspended within the second channel 120 can increase the overall elasticity of the second limiting part 140, thereby preventing the second limiting end 142 from damaging the signal terminal 3 while it abuts against the signal terminal 3, thus ensuring the service life and stability of the signal terminal 3.

[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The second limiting part 140 is provided on the first surface 101 of the main body 10. The second limiting part 140 has a first engaging part 143 protruding from the side opposite to the second surface 102 along the third direction Z. (Refer to...) Figure 5 and Figure 11 An insertion hole 211 is provided on the body 21 located between two adjacent second locking portions 23 along the second direction Y, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 The main body 21 covers the first surface 101, and the first snap-fit ​​portion 143 is embedded in the insertion hole 211. The design of the first snap-fit ​​portion 143 and the insertion hole 211 allows the main body 21 to cover the first surface 101 of the main body 10, and the first snap-fit ​​portion 143 on the second limiting portion 140 to be inserted into the insertion hole 211, thereby forming a plug-in connection between the second limiting portion 140 and the main body 21. This ensures the installation stability between the main body 21 and the second limiting portion 140, and further ensures the contact stability between the second limiting portion 140 and the signal terminal 3 via the second limiting end 142, and ensures the stability of the second limiting end 142's restriction on the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 14 The signal terminal 3 has a slot 301, which surrounds the signal terminal 3 in the circumferential direction. Figure 3The second limiting end 142 is inserted into the slot 301 so that the second limiting end 142 abuts against the signal terminal 3, restricting the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X, ensuring the installation stability of the signal terminal 3 in the second channel 120, and ensuring the stability of signal transmission.

[0048] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 The second limiting end 142, at one end opposite to the second connecting end 141 along the first direction X, has a second latching portion 1421. The second latching portion 1421 can abut against the signal terminal 3 to restrict the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X. Specifically, the end of the second limiting end 142 opposite to the second connecting end 141 is bent along the third direction Z to form the second latching portion 1421. The second latching portion 1421 is inserted into the slot 301 to achieve abutment between the second limiting end 142 and the signal terminal 3, restricting the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X, ensuring the installation stability of the signal terminal 3 in the second channel 120, and ensuring the stability of signal transmission.

[0049] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 The second locking part 23 can abut against the signal terminal 3 to restrict the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X. The structural design of the second locking part 23 restricting the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X, combined with the structural design of two adjacent second locking parts 23 clamping and locking the signal terminal 3, can ensure the locking effect of the signal terminal 3, ensure the installation stability of the signal terminal 3 in the second channel 120, and the structural design of the second locking part 23 abutting against the signal terminal 3 can prevent the signal terminal 3 from falling off or loosening, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the signal terminal 3 in the second channel 120.

[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figures 4-8 The main body 10 includes a first part 11 and a second part 12 that are spaced apart and connected to each other along the second direction Y. A first channel 110 is opened in the first part 11, and a second channel 120 is opened in the second part 12. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second part 12 includes a first sidewall 121 and a second sidewall 122 disposed opposite to each other along the second direction Y, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The first sidewall 121 has a first snap-fit ​​hole 1211 that communicates with the second channel 120, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 as well as Figures 7-8 A second snap-fit ​​hole 1221 communicating with the second channel 120 is provided on the second side wall 122. (Refer to...) Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 12A first protrusion 231 is provided on the second locking part 23 adjacent to the first sidewall 121 along the second direction Y, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The first protrusion 231 is inserted into the first snap-fit ​​hole 1211, as shown in the reference. Figure 4 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 A second protrusion 232 is provided on the second locking part 23 adjacent to the second sidewall 122 along the second direction Y, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The second protrusion 232 is inserted into the second snap-fit ​​hole 1221. The snap-fit ​​connection between the first protrusion 231 and the first snap-fit ​​hole 1211, and the snap-fit ​​connection between the second protrusion 232 and the second snap-fit ​​hole 1221, when the second locking part 23 is inserted into the first surface 101 and extends into the second channel 120, can improve the assembly stability between the second locking part 23 and the main body 10, thereby ensuring the clamping stability of the second locking part 23 on the signal terminal 3 and the stability of the restriction on the movement of the signal terminal 3 along the first direction X, ensuring the installation stability of the signal terminal 3 in the second channel 120, and ensuring the stability of signal transmission.

[0051] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The number of second locking parts 23 is two, which are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The two second locking parts 23 cooperate to clamp the signal terminal 3 and lock it. In some other implementations, the number of plug-in parts 222 can be selected according to actual usage requirements, as long as two adjacent second locking parts 23 along the second direction Y can clamp one signal terminal 3.

[0052] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 11 and Figure 12 The main body 21 has connecting portions 212 at opposite ends along the second direction Y, and the main body 21 covers the first surface 101, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 5 One connecting part 212 is snapped into the third surface 103, and the other connecting part 212 is snapped into the fourth surface 104. The snap-fit ​​connection between the connecting part 212 and the main body 10 further ensures the assembly stability between the locking member 20 and the main body 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 as well as Figures 5-9 Two first protrusions 14 are provided on the third surface 103. The connecting part 212 on the third surface 103 is embedded between the two first protrusions 14, thereby ensuring the assembly stability between the connecting part 212 and the third surface 103.
