[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "inner," "outer," "vertical," and "horizontal," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] like Figure 1-2This is a structural schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention for a new energy vehicle connector. In this embodiment, the new energy vehicle connector includes a connector body 1. A connection cavity 11 is formed on the surface of the connector body 1, through which the connectors are connected to each other. A protective cover 2 is snapped onto the outer wall of the connector body 1 at a position opposite to the connection cavity 11, and the protective cover 2 provides protection for the connector pins inside the connection cavity. The protective cover 2 includes a cover plate 21, a snap-fit ​​plate 22, and a limiting plate 23. Multiple snap-fit ​​plates 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cover plate 21 at both the front and rear ends, and the snap-fit ​​plates 22... The protective cover 2 is snapped into the outer wall of the connector body 1 to achieve the connection between the protective cover 2 and the connector body 1. Limiting plates 23 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the bottom surface of the cover 21, and the inner wall of the limiting plate 23 is in contact with the outer wall of the connector body 1. The limiting plate 23 can effectively prevent the possibility of lateral displacement when the snapping plate 12 is snapped into the outer wall of the connector body 1, which would prevent the protective cover 2 from better protecting the connector cavity 11. Combined with the structural design of this utility model, by snapping the protective cover 2 into the outer wall of the connector body 1, the protection of the connector cavity is improved, thereby effectively solving the problems mentioned in the technology and improving its practicality.

[0022] In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​block 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector body 1 at a position opposite to the snap-fit ​​plate 22. At the same time, a snap-fit ​​interface 25 is opened on the surface of the snap-fit ​​plate 22, and the snap-fit ​​block 12 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​interface 25. By realizing the snap-fit ​​plate 22 and the snap-fit ​​block 12 snapping into each other, the connector body 1 and the protective cover 2 are snapped into each other and fixed.

[0023] In this embodiment, the cover plate 21 has openings 26 at equal intervals on its surface. The openings 26 allow the terminals in the insertion cavity 11 to breathe, preventing thermal expansion and contraction during storage. The gap between the openings 26 is 1mm-1.5mm.

[0024] In this embodiment, a junction box 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the connector body 1, and the junction box 3 communicates with the connector cavity 11. By setting the junction box 3, the connection line of the connector body 1 is connected at the junction box 3, which also protects the connection point of the connection line and increases the protection.

[0025] In this embodiment, a guide plate 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cover plate 21 between the two snap-fit ​​plates 22, and the inner wall of the guide plate 24 is in contact with the outer wall of the connector body 1. This structural design can guide the protective cover 2 when it is snapped with the connector body 1. At the same time, with the cooperation between the guide plate 24 and the limiting plate 23, the possibility of lateral displacement of the protective cover 2 when it is snapped can be effectively prevented.

[0026] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
