Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of new energy vehicle connectors, specifically relating to a low-voltage connector structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the PTC component of new energy electric vehicles, a connector is needed to connect the PTC and the ECU to enable communication between the two. According to the actual operating conditions of the PTC, the female shell of the connector is soldered to the PCB board of the PTC after the female terminal is installed. The female shell has a wrong-proof installation structure, and the PCB board is installed in the metal shell of the PTC.
[0003] The male housing is bolted onto the metal upper housing of the PTC, passing through the upper housing and interlocking with the female housing. The male housing has a certain dustproof and waterproof capability. However, there is a large amount of play in the PCB mounting and the installation of the metal upper housing, requiring the male and female housings to have strong assembly fault tolerance. Furthermore, during equipment operation, continuous vibration will cause slight relative displacement between the plug and the port. Traditional snap-fit or friction fixing methods are difficult to counteract the long-term accumulated loosening trend. In addition, traditional lubrication methods (such as applying grease) are difficult to evenly cover the contact surface. The debris or oxide layer generated by wear will increase the contact resistance, causing local heating, further aggravating material deterioration, and forming a vicious cycle.
[0004] Therefore, existing connector structures suffer from mechanical vibration interference, installation error prevention issues, and lubrication and wear problems of male terminals during use. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problems of mechanical vibration interference, installation error prevention, and lubrication and wear of male terminals in existing connector structures during use, a low-voltage connector structure is proposed.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a low-voltage connector structure, including a male housing; it also includes a second rotating plate and a positioning assembly. An insertion port is provided at the right end of the male housing, and an oil supply assembly is provided on the insertion port.

The ends of the two connecting blocks that are close to each other are connected to a flexible plate. Insertion holes are provided through the left and right ends of the flexible plate. The injection tube is connected through the insertion holes to a four-way pipe. Three third grooves are provided through the upper end of the male plastic shell. The lower ends of the three output ends of the four-way pipe extend through the third grooves to the insertion port.
[0007] Preferably, the left end of the inner wall of the insertion port on the male housing is provided with multiple third mounting slots, and the left end of the inner wall of the insertion port on the male housing is provided with two first magnets.

[0008] Preferably, the right end of the second rotating plate is provided with two second magnets, the left end of the second rotating plate is provided with two third magnets, and three second grooves are opened through the left and right ends of the second rotating plate. The male terminal is located in the second groove, and the flexible plate is made of rubber.
[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the male housing has a first mounting groove, in which a sealing ring is placed, and the upper and lower ends of the male housing have two second mounting grooves, in which a bushing is placed.
[0010] Preferably, a female shell is built into the lower part of the male shell. The upper and lower ends of the female shell are provided with three first placement slots. Two spring pieces are placed inside the first placement slots, and the lower ends of the two spring pieces are fixedly connected to a female terminal.
[0011] Preferably, the male terminal is held by two spring clips after passing through the first placement groove. The inner wall of the first placement groove is provided with a baffle groove. A blocking strip is fixed to the right end of the spring clip, and the lower end of the blocking strip and the lower end of the inner wall of the baffle groove are in contact with each other.
[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the mother shell is fixed with a first anti-dislocation post and a second anti-dislocation post. The first anti-dislocation post and the second anti-dislocation post have different hole diameters. A PCB board is placed at the lower end of the mother shell. The upper and lower ends of the PCB board are provided with a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole. The upper and lower ends of the PCB board are provided with three connecting holes. The connecting holes are adapted to the female terminal. The first insertion hole is adapted to the first anti-dislocation post.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: After the plug is inserted into the port, the second rotating plate is pushed to rotate around the limiting post, which drives the connecting frame to move to the right, so that the extrusion rod squeezes the lubricating oil in the extrusion sleeve and flows into the male terminal through the injection pipe and the four-way pipe. Then, the plug is gently pushed to insert and pull back and forth, so that the lubricating oil is evenly applied to the male terminal. At the same time, the second magnet on the second rotating plate is attracted to the plug iron block, and the third magnet is attracted to the first magnet at the port, which enhances the stability of the plug after insertion and prevents vibration from causing loosening.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-8This utility model provides an embodiment of a low-voltage connector structure, including a male housing 1; it also includes a second rotating plate 14 and a positioning assembly. An insertion port 6 is provided at the right end of the male housing 1, and an oil filling assembly is provided on the insertion port 6. The oil filling assembly includes the second rotating plate 14, a compression sleeve 18, and a four-way tube 21. A first groove 10 is formed at the upper end of the male housing 1, and limit posts 11 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the first groove 10. A second rotating plate 14 is rotatably mounted on the limit posts 11. The upper end of the rotating plate 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 12 through the first groove 10. The first rotating plate 13 is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame 12. The right end of the first rotating plate 13 is connected to the extrusion rod 20. The outer wall of the right end of the extrusion section of the extrusion rod 20 is provided with an extrusion sleeve 18. The right end of the extrusion sleeve 18 is provided with a liquid injection tube 19. The upper end of the male plastic shell 1 is fixedly connected to two connecting blocks 23.

The injection tube 19 passes through the insertion hole 25 and is connected to the four-way tube 21. The upper end of the male housing 1 has three third grooves 22. The lower ends of the three output ends of the four-way tube 21 extend through the third grooves 22 into the insertion port 6. After the plug is inserted into the port 6, the second rotating plate 14 is pushed to rotate around the limiting post 11, thereby driving the connecting frame 12 to rotate to the right. This causes the extrusion rod 20 to extrude the extrusion sleeve 18, squeezing the lubricating oil in the extrusion sleeve 18 into the four-way tube 21 through the injection tube 19 and then into the male terminal 8 on the insertion port 6. Then, the plug is inserted and removed back and forth slightly on the insertion port 6 to spread the lubricating oil evenly on the male terminal 8. At the same time, the second magnet 15 on the second rotating plate 14 and the iron block on the plug attract each other, and the third magnet 16 on the second rotating plate 14 and the first magnet 9 on the insertion port 6 attract each other, thereby improving the stability of the plug after it is inserted into the port 6 and preventing the plug from loosening during vibration.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-6In this embodiment, a first mounting groove 4 is provided at the lower end of the male housing 1, and a sealing ring 401 is placed in the first mounting groove 4. Two second mounting grooves 5 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the male housing 1, and bushings 501 are placed in the second mounting grooves 5. The sealing ring 401 improves the dustproof and waterproof capabilities during installation. A female housing 2 is built into the lower part of the male housing 1. Three first placement grooves 201 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the female housing 2. Two spring pieces 204 are placed inside the first placement grooves 201. The lower ends of the two spring pieces 204 are fixedly connected to the female terminal 205. The male terminal 8 passes through the first placement groove 201 and is clamped by the two spring pieces 204. A baffle groove 206 is provided on the inner wall of the first placement groove 201. A blocking strip 207 is fixedly connected to the right end of the spring piece 204. The lower end of the blocking strip 207... The lower ends of the inner walls of the end and the baffle groove 206 are fitted together. The lower end of the mother shell 2 is fixed with a first anti-misalignment post 202 and a second anti-misalignment post 203. The hole diameters of the first anti-misalignment post 202 and the second anti-misalignment post 203 are different. A PCB board 3 is placed at the lower end of the mother shell 2. The upper and lower ends of the PCB board 3 are provided with a first insertion hole 302 and a second insertion hole 303. The upper and lower ends of the PCB board 3 are provided with three connecting holes 301. The connecting holes 301 are adapted to the mother terminal 205. The first insertion hole 302 is adapted to the first anti-misalignment post 202. The second anti-misalignment post 203 is adapted to the second insertion hole 303. The second anti-misalignment post 203 and the first anti-misalignment post 202 are designed to prevent misalignment during insertion, which can effectively protect the mother terminal 205 and the PCB board 3.
[0026] Please see Figures 6-8 In this embodiment, a plurality of third mounting grooves 7 are provided on the left end of the inner wall of the insertion port 6 on the male plastic shell 1, and two first magnets 9 are provided on the left end of the inner wall of the insertion port 6 on the male plastic shell 1. A male terminal 8 is provided on the third mounting groove 7, and the other end of the male terminal 8 passes through the lower end of the male plastic shell 1. The first magnets 9 are used to attract each other magnetically with the third magnets 16 on the second rotating plate 14, thereby improving the stability of the installation. Two second magnets 15 are provided on the right end of the second rotating plate 14, and two third magnets 16 are provided on the left end of the second rotating plate 14. Three second grooves 17 are provided through the left and right ends of the second rotating plate 14. The male terminal 8 is located in the second groove 17. The flexible plate 24 is made of rubber material. The flexible plate 24 has good deformation ability so that when the connecting frame 12 rotates to the right, the extrusion sleeve 18 will rotate around the flexible plate 24, thereby facilitating the subsequent extrusion of liquid.
[0027] During connector installation, firstly, the female terminals 205 connected below the two spring contacts 204 are sequentially placed from top to bottom into the first placement slot 201 on the female housing 2. Then, they are inserted downwards from above the first placement slot 201, so that the blocking strip 207 on the spring contact 204 is blocked by the blocking slot 206. Next, the three male terminals 8 on the male housing 1 are aligned with the first placement slot 201 and inserted. After insertion, the male terminals 8 are clamped by the two spring contacts 204. Then, the PCB board 3 is placed below the male housing 1, so that the first anti-misalignment post 202 and the second anti-misalignment post 203 are respectively inserted into the first socket 302 and the second socket 303 on the PCB board 3. Simultaneously, the three female terminals 205 are inserted into the connection holes 301 for subsequent soldering. The sealing ring 401 provides waterproofing and dustproofing. The blocking strip 207 limits the movement of the spring contacts 204. The two spring contacts 204 clamp the male terminals 8, and the first anti-misalignment post 202 and the second anti-misalignment post 203... The misalignment post 203 is inserted into the first socket 302 and the second socket 303 respectively to prevent misalignment during installation. This effectively protects the female terminal 205 and prevents it from breaking or bending due to forceful insertion. After the plug is inserted into the port 6, the second rotating plate 14 is pushed to rotate around the limiting post 11, thereby causing the connecting frame 12 to rotate to the right. This causes the extrusion rod 20 to extrude the extrusion sleeve 18, squeezing the lubricating oil in the extrusion sleeve 18 into the four-way pipe 21 through the injection pipe 19 and then into the male terminal 8 on the insertion port 6. Then, the plug is inserted and removed back and forth slightly on the insertion port 6 to spread the lubricating oil evenly on the male terminal 8. At the same time, the second magnet 15 on the second rotating plate 14 and the iron block on the plug attract each other, and the third magnet 16 on the second rotating plate 14 and the first magnet 9 on the insertion port 6 attract each other, thereby improving the stability of the plug after it is inserted into the port 6 and preventing the plug from loosening during vibration.
