Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable connectors, and more particularly to a wire connection component and grounding plate for a bend cable connector. Background Technology

[0002] Cable connectors are mainly used for signal transmission between transmission devices. They are commonly used in devices that transmit data, audio, and video by connecting devices and cables.

[0003] Currently, the M17 series cable connectors on the market only have unidirectional straight-out output. When connecting at corners or where the cable needs to be rotated, the cable bending angle will be too large. In addition to easily causing improper compression of the wire core inside the cable, it is also difficult to insert and remove smoothly in the limited operating space. In order to facilitate assembly, the applicant has developed an M17 elbow connector that can be used in the aforementioned limited operating space.

[0004] However, the grounding plate design of conventional connectors often results in insufficient installation space due to the design of elbow connectors. One solution is to create a groove on the inner wall of the housing and then embed the grounding plate into the groove; another solution is to use an integrated grounding plate design, which directly designs the grounding plate on the housing. Both of these solutions also suffer from insufficient assembly space. In view of this, the applicant has made improvements based on the existing defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a wire connection assembly and grounding plate for a bend cable connector, which can be used for M17 bend connectors. Through reasonable design, assembly is made easier. The wire connection assembly for the bend cable connector includes multiple terminals, an insulating core, and a grounding plate. The insulating core is composed of multiple detachable sheets, and multiple terminal slots are provided in the sheets. A grounding plate slot is opened on one of the outer sides of the insulating core. The grounding plate slot is connected to one of the terminal slots. The insulating core covers the terminals and the grounding plate. The grounding plate is set in the aforementioned grounding plate slot and protrudes from the grounding plate slot on one side.

[0006] Preferably, the wire connection assembly of the elbow cable connector has an insulating core composed of three detachable films, which can be divided into a first film, a second film, and a third film, with the aforementioned grounding slot formed between the first film and the second film.

[0007] Preferably, in the wire connection assembly of the elbow cable connector, the first film and the second film side form a first terminal groove, and the grounding plate slot is located outside the first terminal groove.

[0008] Preferably, in the wire connection assembly of the elbow cable connector, a second terminal slot and a third terminal slot are formed between the first film, the second film and the third film.

[0009] Preferably, in the wire connection assembly of the elbow cable connector, a protrusion is formed on each of the two opposite outer sides of the insulating core.

[0010] Preferably, in the wire connection assembly of the elbow cable connector, the grounding plate has a terminal interface that bends longitudinally at one end, and a slightly curved grounding end that extends horizontally on the other side of the terminal interface of the grounding plate.

[0011] Preferably, in the wire connection assembly of the elbow cable connector, the terminal interface of the grounding plate is connected to the outside of one of the terminals, and the grounding end protrudes from the groove of the grounding plate.

[0012] This utility model also provides a grounding plate for a wire connection assembly for a bendable cable connector, which has a terminal interface that bends longitudinally at one end, and a slightly curved grounding end that extends horizontally on the other side of the terminal interface.

[0013] The wire connection assembly and grounding plate of the elbow cable connector of this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The design of the detachable insulating core and the grounding piece protruding from the outside of the insulating core simplifies the installation steps of the grounding piece and allows for quick assembly of the grounding piece in extremely limited space. Moreover, the production cost is lower than that of an integrated design or a groove on the outer casing, which can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0015] 2. Through the design of this utility model, the cable has good shielding after installation with the wire connection component, and the grounding effect is also excellent. Attached Figure Description

Figure 1 As shown, it can be connected to the housing C of the M17 connector and includes multiple terminals 11, an insulating core 12 and a grounding plate 13; the multiple terminals 11 are used to connect the wire harness on the cable. After connecting the wire harness, the insulating core 12 is used to cover the terminals 11 and the outside of the wire harness. Preferably, in this embodiment, three terminals 11 are provided.

[0029] In this embodiment, the insulating core 12 is composed of three detachable films, which can be divided into a first film 12A, a second film 12B, and a third film 12C. The first film 12A and the second film 12B are symmetrical quarter-cylindrical hollow cylinders. First terminal slots 121 are formed on two opposite sides below the first film 12A and the second film 12B. When joined, the first terminal slots 121 are semi-open slots, allowing the terminals installed inside to be exposed.

Their shapes are symmetrical to and can be matched with the second terminal slots 122 and the third terminal slots 123 of the third film 12C.

[0030] A grounding slot 124 is formed behind the first terminal slot 121 for connecting the grounding plate 13 and enabling the grounding plate 13 to be connected to the outer casing C to form a ground; protrusions 125 are provided on the two opposite outer sides of the first film 12A and the second film 12B for engaging with the outer casing C; the third film 12C is a hollow column in the shape of a semi-cylindrical cylinder, and protrusions 125 are also provided on the two opposite outer sides to match the protrusions 125 of the first film 12A and the second film 12B.

[0031] The three terminals 11 can be arbitrarily allocated and correspondingly installed in the first terminal slot 121, the second terminal slot 122 and the third terminal slot 123.

The grounding plate 13 is an L-shaped curved thin sheet, and a terminal interface 131 that bends longitudinally is formed at one end. The grounding plate 13 is connected to the outside of the wiring terminal 11 through the terminal interface 131. A slightly curved grounding end 132 is formed horizontally on the other side of the terminal interface 131. The grounding plate 13 protrudes from the grounding plate slot 124 through this grounding end 132 for contacting the outer casing C to form grounding and improve shielding.

[0033] The assembly method of this utility model is as follows: the outer sheath of the cable end to be processed is removed according to the size of the part, the shield is turned over, and the excess filler is cleaned up. The outer sheath of the cable is stripped according to the size of each terminal 11, and the exposed wire bundle is connected to the corresponding terminal 11 and crimped. Each insulating core 12 is assembled to the outside of the crimped terminal 11. At the same time, the grounding piece 13 is assembled to the grounding pin corresponding to the terminal 11 located outside the first terminal slot 121. Then, the cable connected to the wire connection assembly 20 is installed on the outer shell C, thus completing the assembly.
