[0033] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0034] The following reference Figures 1 to 3 This invention describes an electronic wire harness plug according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0035] This disclosure provides an electronic wire harness plug, including a first connector 1, a second connector 2, and a connecting assembly.

[0036] One end of the first connector 1 forms a socket 11, and the other end of the first connector 1 is provided with a first terminal 12, which is used to connect the first electronic wire harness.

[0037] One end of the second connector 2 is provided with a first mating end 21, and the other end of the second connector 2 is provided with a second wiring end 22, which is used to connect the second electronic wire harness. When the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are connected, the first and second electronic wire harnesses with the same function are connected together.

[0038] The connecting assembly includes a first connecting portion 31 and a second connecting portion 32. The first connecting portion 31 is disposed on the first plug-in 1, and the second connecting portion 32 is disposed on the second plug-in 2. The first connecting portion 31 includes a mounting cavity 311 and a connector 312. The connector 312 is disposed outside the mounting cavity 311, and its first end 313 is retractably disposed within the mounting cavity 311. The second connecting portion 32 is provided with a socket 321 that mates with the first end 313. In the connected state, the second plug-in 2 is inserted into the socket 11, the second connecting portion 32 is inserted into the mounting cavity 311, the first end 313 is inserted into the socket 321, and the first mating end 21 mates with the first terminal 12 to achieve a stable connection between the first plug-in 1 and the second plug-in 2.

[0039] It should be noted that:

[0040] The shape of the socket 11 is adapted to the shape of the first mating end 21.

[0041] The connection method and structure of the first docking terminal 21 and the first wiring terminal 12 are not specifically limited here, but can be referred to existing electronic wire harness connectors.

[0042] During the process of the second connector 2 being inserted into the first connector 1 through the socket 11, that is, during the process of the first mating end 21 being inserted into the socket 11, the second connecting part 32 is simultaneously inserted into the mounting cavity 311. At this time, the second connecting part 32 will push up the first end 313 of the connector 312 (retracting outward relative to the mounting cavity 311). As the first mating end 21 continues to be inserted into the socket 11, when the first end 313 of the connector 312 is aligned with the socket 321, the first end 313 of the connector 312 extends inward relative to the mounting cavity 311 and is inserted into the socket 321 to realize the insertion of the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32. At this time, the first mating end 21 also moves to a position that just matches and connects with the first terminal 12.

[0043] According to the embodiments of this disclosure, since the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are connected by a connecting assembly, the cooperation of the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 of the connecting assembly allows for a more secure connection between the second connector 2 and the first connector 1 after the second connector 2 is inserted into the first connector 1 through the socket 11. The first connector 1 and the second connector 2 will not easily detach or separate under external force.

[0044] In one embodiment, to make the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 more secure, at least a pair of oppositely arranged connecting components are included. That is, along a first direction, a first connecting portion 31 is provided on opposite sides of the first connector 1, and along the first direction, a second connecting portion 32 is provided on opposite sides of the second connector 2 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown).

[0045] In one embodiment, a first connecting portion 31 may be provided on opposite sides of the first connector 1 along a first direction, and a second connecting portion 32 may be provided on opposite sides of the second connector 2 along the first direction. Alternatively, the first connecting portion 31 may be provided on opposite sides of the first connector 1 along a second direction, and the second connecting portion 32 may be provided on opposite sides of the second connector 2 along the second direction.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first terminal 12 is provided with a plurality of first branch slots 13, which are used to connect a plurality of first electronic wire harnesses. The plurality of first electronic wire harnesses can be wire harnesses used to implement different functional controls.

[0047] A plurality of second branch slots 23 are provided between the first docking terminal 21 and the second terminal 22, and the plurality of second branch slots 23 are used to connect a plurality of second electronic wire harnesses. The plurality of second electronic wire harnesses can be wire harnesses used to realize different functional controls.

[0048] In the connected state, the positions of the multiple first branch slots 13 and the multiple second branch slots 23 correspond one-to-one.

[0049] In one embodiment, the socket 11 is provided with a first mating portion 14 along its outer circumferential direction, and the second connector 2 is provided with a second mating portion 24 along its outer circumferential direction. In the connected state, the first mating portion 14 and the second mating portion 24 are inserted into each other.

[0050] According to the embodiments of this disclosure, the connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 can be made more stable, and the sealing at the connection point can be improved to prevent dust or impurities from entering.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first mating portion 14 is an annular groove, and the second mating portion 24 is an annular protrusion.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first mating portion 14 is an annular protrusion, and the second mating portion 24 is an annular groove.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first mating portion 14 or the second mating portion 24 is provided with a sealing ring to improve the mating sealing of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2.

[0054] In one embodiment, the connector 312 has a first end 313 and a second end 314 disposed opposite to each other, the second end 314 being connected to the mounting cavity 311 via an elastic component. This enables the telescopic movement of the first end 313 of the connector 312.

[0055] In one embodiment, the elastic component includes an operating member 3151 and an elastic member 3152. A second end 314 is connected to the operating member 3151, and the elastic member 3152 is sleeved on the connector 312 and located between the operating member 3151 and the mounting cavity 311. When the operating member 3151 is pulled, the first end 313 of the connector 312 retracts outward relative to the mounting cavity 311, thereby disengaging the first end 313 of the connector 312 from the insertion hole 321 of the second connecting portion 32, thus separating the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32. Conversely, when the operating member 3151 is not pulled or pushed, the first end 313 of the connector 312 extends into the mounting cavity 311 relative to the mounting cavity 311, thereby inserting the first end 313 of the connector 312 into the insertion hole 321 of the second connecting portion 32, thus connecting the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32.

[0056] In one embodiment, the elastic component further includes a sleeve 3153 and a limiting member 3154. The sleeve 3153 is fitted over the outside of the connector 312 and connected to the mounting cavity 311. The limiting member 3154 is fitted over the connector 312. The elastic member 3152 is disposed between the operating member 3151 and the limiting member 3154. The sleeve 3153 is used to protect the connector 312. The limiting member 3154 is used to limit the length of the first end 313 of the connector 312 extending into the mounting cavity 311.

[0057] In one embodiment, the first connecting portion 31 further includes a locking member 33, which is connected to the operating member 3151. The locking member 33 includes a first state and a second state. In the first state, the elastic component can drive the first end 313 to extend and retract. In the second state, the elastic component 3152 is locked, and the first end 313 cannot be driven to extend and retract. When the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 are inserted, if the locking member 33 is in the second state, the first end 313 of the connector 312 is always inserted into the socket 321 and will not disengage from the socket 321, thereby ensuring that the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are always securely connected and will not easily disengage.

[0058] In one embodiment, the locking member 33 includes a locking part 331 and a rotating shaft 332. One end of the rotating shaft 332 is rotatably connected to the mounting cavity 311, and the other end of the rotating shaft 332 is connected to the locking part 331.

[0059] The operating component 3151 has a first opening 3155, the other end of the rotating shaft 332 passes through the first opening 3155, and the shape of the locking part 331 is adapted to the shape of the first opening 3155.

[0060] In the first state, the outer edge of the locking part 331 coincides with the projection of the outer edge of the first opening 3155 (e.g., Figure 3As shown), at this time, the operating member 3151 can drive the connecting member 312 to extend or retract, so that it can move relative to the locking part 331.

[0061] In the second state, the projection of the outer edge of the locking part 331 does not coincide with the projection of the outer edge of the first opening 3155. At this time, the operating member 3151 is locked, and the operating member 3151 cannot drive the connecting member 312 to perform telescopic movement. By rotating the locking part 331, the first state and the second state can be switched.

[0062] In one example, the locking part 331 can rotate at least 90° to achieve the switching between the first state and the second state.

[0063] In one example, to prevent the locking part 331 from switching from the second state to the first state due to external force, one end of the rotating shaft 332 can be rotatably connected to the mounting cavity 311 through a rotary damper, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 332 and preventing it from easily rotating.
