The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a power quick connector, including a housing 1 and a connector 2 housed within the housing 1.

[0025] The housing 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 that are detachably connected. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are connected by a plug-in connection, which is prior art in this field. Sealing gaskets are provided at the contact points between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 to enhance waterproofing.

[0026] The first housing 11 is located at the inlet end of the power fast connector.

[0027] The first housing 11 has a tension opening at the end furthest from the second housing 12. The tension opening has multiple spaced-apart tension tabs. The tension opening is secured by a nut 13. When the nut 13 is tightened onto the tension opening, the tension tabs retract inwards, clamping the cable. This tightening method is also existing technology in the field.

[0028] The connector 2 includes a terminal block 201, a spring 202, and a connecting terminal 203.

[0029] The terminal block 201 includes four partitions 204 arranged side by side and a connecting plate 205 connecting the four partitions 204 to form a single unit. Adjacent partitions 204 are spaced apart to form a cable routing channel 206 for cable passage. The connecting plate 205 includes a first connecting plate 2051 and a second connecting plate 2052, located at opposite ends of the partitions 204. The first connecting plate 2051 is located above the partition 204, and the second connecting plate 2052 is located below the partition 204. One end of the connecting terminal 205 is fixed to the first connecting plate 2051, and the other end is fixed to the second connecting plate 2052. The partitions 204 support the connecting terminal 203.

[0030] The first connecting plate 2051 is horizontally arranged, and the second connecting plate 2052 is vertically arranged. A circular through-hole 2053 is provided through the upper part of the second connecting plate 2052, serving as a positioning and guiding function during wire threading and a limiting function after threading. There are three through-holes 2053, each corresponding to a different wiring channel 206. The three through-holes 2053 correspond to the positive wire, negative wire, and ground wire, respectively.

[0031] The spring clip 202 is disposed in the cable routing channel 206, with one end fixed to the partition 204 and the other end suspended and extending toward the connection terminal 203, for pressing the cable onto the connection terminal 203 so that the cable and the connection terminal 203 maintain close contact.

[0032] The spring 202 includes a first part 2021, a second part 2022 spaced apart from the first part 2021, a third part 2023 connecting the first part 2021 and the second part 2022, and a fourth part 2024 extending from the end of the third part 2023 toward the connecting terminal 203. The first part 2021 is fixed to the partition 204, and the second part 2022 is arched upward.

[0033] The first part 2021, the second part 2022, the third part 2023 and the fourth part 2024 are integrally formed.

[0034] The inner wall of the first housing 11 has a protrusion 110 protruding from the position corresponding to the wiring channel 206. When the power quick connector is assembled, the protrusion 110 presses the spring piece 202 downward and bends it to compress the cable. When the first housing 11 is removed, the protrusion 110 disengages from the wiring channel 206, the spring piece 202 loses its compression and resets under elastic action, and the cable can be pulled out from the left wire channel 205.

[0035] The width of the protrusion 110 is equal to the width of the wiring channel 206. When the protrusion 110 moves within the wiring channel 206, the partition 204 can limit the movement of the protrusion 110, allowing the protrusion 110 to maintain linear movement.

[0036] The second part 2022 is tilted upward and arched, increasing the vertical distance between the second part 2022 and the first part 2021, thereby allowing the second part 2022 to obtain a larger displacement.

[0037] In addition, the end of the protrusion 110 is provided with a tongue and groove 111, which is used to snap onto the first connecting plate 2051 to increase the connection stability between the first housing 11 and the connector 2.

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
