[0035] In the connected state, the first pair of plugs 200 and the second pair of plugs 300 are arranged as follows: the first pair of plugs 200 passes through the first connecting cavity 101 and is connected to the first terminal 103 through the first contact terminal 201 passing through the first pair of plugs 200; the second pair of plugs 300 passes through several second connecting cavities 102 and is connected to several second terminals 104 through several second contact terminals 301 passing through the several second pairs of plugs 300; the connection between the first terminal 103 and the second terminal 104 and the first pair of plugs 200 and the second pair of plugs 300 enables the transmission of current or signals; it should be noted that the first terminal 103 and the first pair of plugs 200 are compatible; the several second terminals 104 are compatible with the several second contact terminals 301; and the number of the first terminal 103 and the second terminal 104 is determined according to the actual situation, which will not be further described in this utility model; at the same time, the number of second connecting cavities 102 on the female end body 100 is determined according to the actual situation. In this utility model, it is preferred to provide two second connecting cavities 102 and two second pairs of plugs 300.

[0036] The technical solution of this utility model rationally utilizes the space of the female end body 100 by sequentially arranging a first connecting cavity 101 and several second connecting cavities 102 on the female end body 100. Simultaneously, after connecting with the first pair of plugs 200 and several second pairs of plugs 300, it enables high-current transmission through the first terminal 103 and the first contact terminal 201; and current or signal transmission through several second terminals 104 and several second contact terminals 301. This allows for different current or signal transmissions on the same female end, and with a reasonable layout, it can better adapt to the vehicle interior space. Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model is reasonable, rationally utilizes the space of the female end body 100, and, after the female end body 100 is placed inside the vehicle, it can reasonably occupy the vehicle interior space, avoiding waste of interior space.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, mounting wings 105 are provided on both sides of the female end body 100, and mounting holes 106 are provided on the mounting wings 105; bolts or the like can be passed through the mounting holes 106 to connect to the outside, thereby fixing the female end body 100 and completing the connection with the vehicle interior; specifically, the mounting wings 105 and the female end body 100 are integrally formed to ensure the fixing strength between the mounting wings 105 and the female end body 100.

[0038] like Figure 3-5As shown, a connecting plate 202 is provided on one side of the first pair of plugs 200; a slot 107 corresponding to the connecting plate 202 is provided on the female end body 100. In the connected state, the connecting plate 202 is connected to the slot 107. When the female end body 100 is installed in the vehicle, the first pair of plugs 200 is placed in the slot 107. Specifically, the slot 107 is located on the inner wall of one side of the first connecting cavity 101. When the first pair of plugs 200 is placed in the first connecting cavity 101, the first pair of plugs 200 is limited by the cooperation of the connecting plate 202 and the slot 107, thereby completing the installation between the first pair of plugs 200 and the first connecting cavity 101. It should be noted that during the use stage, the connection between the first pair of plugs 200 and the first connecting cavity 101 is also limited by the mutual matching of the connecting plate 202 and the slot 107. The first pair of plugs 200 can only be installed between the first connecting cavity 101 when the connecting plate 202 and the slot 107 correspond, thereby avoiding accidental insertion.

[0039] In addition, a locking plate 221 is provided at one end of the connecting plate 202, and a locking block 171 is provided in the slot 107; in the connected state, the locking block 171 and the locking plate 221 are engaged; specifically, one end of the connecting plate 202 is fixedly connected to the first pair of plugs 200, and there is a gap between the other end and the first pair of plugs 200, so that the other end of the connecting plate 202 can move when connecting; when the first pair of plugs 200 is inserted into the first connecting cavity 101, during the insertion process, due to the presence of the locking block 171, the other end of the connecting plate 202 (the end provided with the locking plate 221) will move towards the first pair of plugs 200; as the connecting plate 202 is inserted, the locking plate 221 passes through the position of the locking block 171 and resets under the action of its own elastic deformation, thus realizing the engagement between the locking plate 221 and the locking block 171.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the female end body 100 has a through hole 108 corresponding to the slot 107, and the connecting plate 202 is provided with an operating table 222. In the disassembled state, the tool enters the through hole 108 and contacts the operating table 222, separating the connecting plate 202 from the slot 107. In this utility model, the operating table 222 has an inclined structure. When the tool is inserted into the through hole 108, pressure is gradually applied to the operating table 222, and the operating table 222 drives the connecting plate 202 to deform, causing the slot plate 221 to separate from the slot block 171. Then, the first pair of plugs 200 are operated to complete the separation between the first pair of plugs 200 and the first connecting cavity 101.

[0041] In addition, a plurality of material holes 109 are provided on the female end body 100, and the material holes 109 are located around the second connecting cavity 102; wherein, the plurality of material holes 109 are not connected to the second connecting cavity 102; thereby ensuring that the plurality of material holes 109 will not affect the connection between the second pair of plugs 300 and the second connecting cavity 102; when the female end body 100 is formed, the plurality of material holes 109 are formed by the mold, which on the one hand can reduce the amount of material required for the female end body 100 to be formed, and on the other hand, the plurality of material holes 109 are not connected to the second connecting cavity 102, thereby not affecting the strength of the female end body 100; the number of material holes 109 in this utility model is determined according to the actual situation, and will not be further described in this utility model.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 5, the female end body 100 has an alignment groove 110, and the second pair of plugs 300 has an alignment block 302. In the connected state, the alignment block 302 is placed in the alignment groove 110. When installing the second pair of plugs 300, on the one hand, the alignment groove 110 and the alignment block 302 restrict the insertion direction of the second pair of plugs 300, and on the other hand, the alignment groove 110 communicates with the second connecting cavity 102. In this way, the cooperation between the alignment groove 110 and the alignment block 302 can increase the contact area between the second pair of plugs 300 and the second connecting cavity 102, thereby improving the second pair of plugs 300. 00 Stability after installation; In this utility model, preferably, the second connecting cavity 102 is provided with alignment grooves 110 on both sides, and the alignment grooves 110 on both sides of the second connecting cavity 102 are respectively located on two horizontal planes. In this way, when the second pair of plugs 300 is connected to the second connecting cavity 102, it is possible to better determine whether the positions of the alignment grooves 110 and the alignment blocks 302 can match; that is, the two alignment blocks 302 on the second pair of plugs 300 can better restrict the insertion direction of the second pair of plugs 300, and further increase the contact area between the second pair of plugs 300 and the second connecting cavity 102.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, the second contact terminal 301 includes a terminal housing 311 and a spring piece 312 disposed inside the terminal housing 311. In the connected state, the second terminal 104 passes through the terminal housing 311 and is limited by the spring piece 312; it is connected to the wire through the terminal housing 311; when the second terminal 104 is inserted into the terminal housing 311, the second terminal 104 is limited by the cooperation of the terminal housing 311 and the spring piece 312, so that the second terminal 104 can make tight contact with the terminal housing 311, ensuring the stability between the second terminal 104 and the second contact terminal 301.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
