[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] A detachable vehicle data forwarding module connector, combined with Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a male terminal connection component 1 and a female terminal connection component 2, which are detachably connected to the male terminal connection component 1.

[0021] The male connector assembly 1 includes a male connector 11. The right end of the male connector 11 has a plug interface 111. The male connector 11 contains a male circuit board 12. The male circuit board 12 is electrically connected to a pin array 14 that passes through the plug interface 111. The pin array 14 includes different signal transmission pins, such as CAN_H signal transmission pins, CAN_L signal transmission pins, power signal transmission pins, and ground signal transmission pins. The left end of the male connector 11 has a male connector line 13. The male connector line 13 is electrically connected to the male circuit board 12 and is used to connect to the vehicle data forwarding module.

[0022] The female connector assembly 2 includes a female connector 21 whose left end can be inserted into a connector 111. A female circuit board 22 is housed inside the female connector 21. The female circuit board 22 is electrically connected to a socket array 24 located on the left end of the female connector 21 and adapted to the pin array 14. A female connector line 23, electrically connected to the female circuit board 22, is located on the right end of the female connector 21 and is used to connect to the vehicle bus. When the left end of the female connector 21 is inserted into the connector 111 on the right end of the male connector 11, the pin array 14 is inserted into the socket array 24, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the male circuit board 12 and the female circuit board 22, and thus connecting the vehicle data forwarding module to the vehicle bus.

[0023] Two spring-loaded locking elements 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pin array 14 in the connector 111. Two locking engagement seats 26 are symmetrically arranged on opposite outer walls of the female connector 21. These two locking engagement seats 26 engage with the two spring-loaded locking elements 15 after the female connector 21 is inserted into the connector 111, thereby locking the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 and preventing them from separating when not needed. Two pressing unlocking elements 16 are symmetrically arranged on opposite outer walls of the male connector 11. These two pressing unlocking elements 16 are used to unlock the two spring-loaded locking elements 15, allowing the female connector 2 to be pulled out of the male connector 1 by pressing the pressing unlocking elements 16 when separation of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 is required.

[0024] Specifically, the spring locking member 15 includes a support plate 151 disposed on the bottom outer side of the pin array 14 near the male terminal circuit board 12. A pivot seat 152 is disposed between the support plate 151 and the inner wall of the male terminal seat 11. A locking arm 153, which can rotate between the support plate 151 and the inner wall of the male terminal seat 11, is rotatably connected to the pivot seat 152. The middle part of the locking arm 153 is pivotally connected to the pivot seat 152. The outer end of the locking arm 153 protrudes from the support plate 151 along the height direction and is provided with a hook 154 bent towards the pin array 14 side. The inner end of the locking arm 153 is connected to a first return spring 155. The other end of the first return spring 155 is connected to the support plate 151. The first return spring 155 is used to drive the outer end of the locking arm 153 to tilt towards the pin array 14 side.

[0025] Two abutment plates 25 are symmetrically arranged on opposite outer walls of the female end seat 21. The two abutment plates 25 are used to abut against the two support plates 151 respectively after the female end seat 21 is inserted into the insertion interface 111, so as to achieve a seal after the pin array 14 is inserted into the insertion hole array 24. Two locking mating seats 26 are respectively arranged on the two abutment plates 25. During the process of the female end seat 21 being inserted into the insertion interface 111, the locking mating seats 26 push the locking arm 153 to rotate around the pivot seat 152 away from the pin array 14 and engage with the hook 154 when the abutment plate 25 abuts against the support plate 151, thereby achieving locking. Meanwhile, both the locking engagement seat 26 and the latch 154 have flat engagement surfaces, and the opposite surfaces of their engagement surfaces are inclined surfaces, which makes it easier for the locking engagement seat 26 to push the locking arm 153 to rotate around the pivot seat 152 away from the pin array 14 and stably engage with the latch 154 when the abutment plate 25 abuts against the support plate 151.

[0026] The press-to-unlock component 16 includes a sliding post 161 that slides and engages with the female end seat 21 and is inserted into the insertion interface 111. The inner end of the sliding post 161 in the insertion interface 111 is provided with a push plate 163, which is disposed opposite to the inner end of the locking arm 153. The outer end of the sliding post 161 is provided with a pressing plate 162. A second return spring 164 is provided between the pressing plate 162 and the outer wall of the female end seat 21 to enclose the sliding post 161. The second return spring 164 is used to drive the push plate 163 away from the inner end of the locking arm 153. When it is necessary to unlock, press the press plate 162, the second return spring 164 is compressed, the push plate 163 pushes the locking arm 153 to rotate, the inner end of the locking arm 153 approaches the support plate 151, at the same time, the first return spring 155 is compressed, the latch 154 of the locking arm 153 rotates away from the abutment plate 25 in the opposite direction, thereby separating from the locking mating seat 26. At this time, the female end connecting component 2 can be pulled out to separate the female end connecting component 2 from the male end connecting component 1. After separation, release the press plate 162, the second return spring 164 drives the push plate 163 to reset, and the first return spring 155 drives the locking arm 153 to reset.

[0027] In use, this utility model achieves the function of "automatic locking upon insertion and unlocking upon pressing," and its specific working principle is as follows:

[0028] When the left end of the female connector 21 is inserted into the right end of the male connector 11's connector 111, the pin array 14 mates with the socket array 24, establishing a circuit connection. Simultaneously, the female locking engagement seat 26 pushes the locking arm 153 of the male spring locking member 15 to rotate around the pivot seat 152, causing the hook 154 to engage with the locking engagement seat 26, thus locking the circuit. This process ensures a tight fit between the hook 154 and the locking engagement seat 26 by storing energy in the first return spring 155.

[0029] When separation is required, press the pressing plate 162 of the pressing unlocking component 16. The push plate 163 pushes the locking arm 153 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the hook 154 disengages from the locking engagement seat 26, releasing the lock. At this time, the female end seat 21 can be pulled out to achieve quick separation. After releasing the pressing plate, the second return spring 164 and the first return spring 155 simultaneously drive each component to reset.
