Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a wire harness connector, and more particularly to a wire harness connector that is easy to install and is applicable to the field of wire harness connection technology. Background Technology
[0002] In various electronic devices and electrical systems, wire harness connectors are crucial components used to connect wires and transmit signals. Automotive wire harnesses are the main connection components for the internal circuits of automobiles. A wire harness refers to an assembly consisting of copper-formed contact terminals (connectors) crimped to wires and cables, then covered with an insulator or an outer metal shell, and bundled together to form a connecting circuit.
[0003] Chinese patent CN219498336U discloses a wire harness connector. This application divides the wire passage into two parts by setting a guide block to form a first socket and a second socket. The first socket and the second socket are sealed and isolated by the action of the guide block, so that the outer wire and the inner wire connected on both sides of the guide block do not interfere with each other. Even if loosening occurs, it will not affect the sealing between the two sides of the entire housing. Compared with existing connectors, this design has a better sealing effect.
[0004] Some connector designs make it inconvenient to insert and secure wire harnesses, which can easily lead to incomplete insertion or insecure fixation, thus affecting the stability of the connection and the reliability of signal transmission. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem that this utility model aims to solve in view of the above-mentioned prior art is that the structural design of existing connectors makes it inconvenient to insert and fix the wire harness, which easily leads to situations where the wire harness is not inserted properly or is not fixed securely, thereby affecting the stability of the connection and the reliability of signal transmission.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides an easy-to-install wire harness connector, comprising a male connector head with a fixedly connected wire harness, a female connector head detachably connected to the side end of the male connector head, a terminal fixedly connected inside the male connector head, and the male connector head engaging with the female connector head via the terminal, a threaded ring fitted on the surface of the male connector head, a retaining sleeve fitted on the surface of the female connector head, a threaded ring rotatably connected to the end of the retaining sleeve near the threaded ring on the outer ring of the female connector head, and the threaded ring and the threaded ring being threadedly connected, a receiving groove being formed on the side end of the retaining sleeve at the outer ring of the threaded ring, a protective cover being provided in the receiving groove, a collar being fixedly connected to the cross section of the protective cover away from the receiving groove, a retaining ring fitted on the surface of the male connector head, and the retaining ring and the collar being overlapped and connected by bolts.
[0007] In the above-mentioned wire harness connector, the male and female connectors are snapped together and then reinforced by a threaded connection between a threaded ring and a threaded collar to prevent them from falling off during use. In addition, a protective cover is provided on its surface to provide waterproof protection.
[0008] As a further improvement to this application, the protective cover is made of a foldable, waterproof, and breathable material.
[0009] As a further improvement of this application, a winding mechanism is provided at one end of the wire harness. The winding mechanism includes two symmetrical clamps, and a spool is rotatably connected between the two clamps, with the wire harness wound around the surface of the spool.
[0010] As a further improvement of this application, a support plate located above the cable is fixedly connected between the two clamps, and a sliding opening is provided on the support plate.
[0011] As another improvement of this application, a stop plate is slidably connected inside the sliding opening, and the stop plate abuts against the wire harness. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the end of the stop plate away from the wire harness above the support plate.
[0012] As a further improvement to this application, two sets of screws are symmetrically provided on both the limiting plate and the support plate, and the screws are connected to handles by internal threads.
[0013] In summary, the cable harness is connected to the connector male and female connectors via the terminals in the connector male and female connectors. At this point, the threaded ring is fitted onto the surface of the threaded ring and can be fixed by the threads, thereby reinforcing the connector male and female connectors and preventing them from falling off. Then, by holding the collar, the protective cover can be pulled out from the storage slot, unfolding it and fitting onto the surface of the threaded ring and threaded ring. When the collar and retaining ring are in contact, it can be fixed with bolts. The protective cover is made of foldable waterproof and breathable material, which does not affect the heat dissipation of the connection and can also provide waterproof protection. When the protective cover is not in use, it can be folded and stored in the storage slot, and the collar engages with the inner wall of the storage slot to limit the position of the stored protective cover.

[0022] The two embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] First implementation method:
[0024] Figures 1-4 This invention illustrates an easy-to-install wire harness connector, comprising a male connector 2 fixedly connected to a wire harness 1, a female connector 7 detachably connected to the side end of the male connector 2, a terminal 9 fixedly connected inside the male connector 2, and the male connector 2 engaging with the female connector 7 via the terminal 9, a threaded ring 8 sleeved on the surface of the male connector 2, a retaining sleeve 3 sleeved on the surface of the female connector 7, a threaded ring 18 rotatably connected to the end of the retaining sleeve 3 near the threaded ring 8 on the outer ring of the female connector 7, and the threaded ring 8 and the threaded ring 18 being threadedly connected, a receiving groove 11 formed on the side end of the retaining sleeve 3 at the outer ring of the threaded ring 18, a protective cover 6 provided inside the receiving groove 11, a collar 5 fixedly connected to the end of the protective cover 6 away from the receiving groove 11, a retaining ring 4 sleeved on the surface of the male connector 2, and the retaining ring 4 and the collar 5 overlapping and connected by bolts, the protective cover 6 being made of a foldable waterproof and breathable material.
[0025] Working principle: The cable harness 1 is snapped into the connector male head 2 through the terminal 9 and the connector female head 7. At this time, the threaded ring 18 is fitted onto the surface of the threaded ring 8 and can be fixed by the thread, thereby reinforcing the connector male head 2 and the connector female head 7 to prevent them from falling off. Then, by holding the collar 5, the protective cover 6 can be pulled out from the storage groove 11, so that it unfolds and fits onto the surface of the threaded ring 18 and the threaded ring 8. When the collar 5 and the retaining ring 4 are in contact, they can be fixed by bolts. The protective cover 6 is made of foldable waterproof and breathable material, which does not affect the heat dissipation of the connection and can also provide waterproof protection. When the protective cover 6 is not in use, it can be folded and stored in the storage groove 11. The collar 5 is snapped into the inner wall of the storage groove 11 to limit the storage of the protective cover 6.
[0026] The connector male head 2 and connector female head 7 are snapped together and then reinforced by the threaded connection between the threaded ring 18 and the threaded ring 8 to prevent them from falling off during use. A protective cover 6 is provided on its surface to provide waterproof protection.
[0027] Second implementation method:
[0028] Figure 2 and Figures 5-6 As shown, a winding mechanism is provided at one end of the cable 1. The winding mechanism includes two symmetrical clamping plates 19. A spool 17 is rotatably connected between the two clamping plates 19, and the cable 1 is wound around the surface of the spool 17. A support plate 12 located above the cable 1 is fixedly connected between the two clamping plates 19. A sliding opening 14 is provided on the support plate 12. A stop plate 13 is slidably connected in the sliding opening 14 and abuts against the cable 1. A limiting plate 10 is fixedly connected at the end of the stop plate 13 away from the cable 1, located above the support plate 12. Two sets of screws 15 are symmetrically provided on both the limiting plate 10 and the support plate 12. A handle 16 is threaded into the screws 15.
[0029] Working principle: After connecting the male connector 2 and the female connector 7, the cable bundle 1 can be wound up and down through the reel 17 according to the wiring situation on the line. After being wound up to the appropriate length, the limiting plate 10 can be pressed to drive the abutment plate 13 to move and contact the surface of the wound cable bundle 1. At this time, the handle 16 can be held and the screw 15 can be turned to limit the abutment plate 13, thereby positioning the reel 17 and preventing the cable bundle 1 from rolling.
[0030] The winding and unwinding length of the cable bundle 1 is adjusted by setting the spool 17, and the spool 17 is limited by the extension and retraction adjustment of the stop plate 13 to prevent the cable bundle 1 from becoming loose.
