Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector accessories technology, and in particular to a split connector housing that is easy to manufacture. Background Technology
[0002] Connector housings are structures used to protect the electronic components inside the connector. Connector housings are generally available in two types: integral and separate. Since separate housings are more conducive to the maintenance of electronic components, they are widely used in the current technology.
[0003] Existing split-type connector housings typically consist of an upper half and a lower half, connected by screws. To prevent misalignment during assembly, the upper half usually has a raised ridge, and the lower half has a groove that mates with the raised ridge. The ridge and groove engage to prevent misalignment of the upper half relative to the lower half. However, because the upper and lower halves have different structures, this connector structure requires separate manufacturing and pairing during assembly, resulting in high production costs for the connector housing.
[0004] Therefore, the existing split connector housing has the technical problem of high production cost. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides an easy-to-manufacture split connector housing, which solves the technical problem of high production cost of split connector housings in the prior art.
[0006] Some implementation schemes for solving the above-mentioned technical problems include:
[0007] A modular connector housing that is easy to manufacture, comprising a housing body;
[0008] An inner housing, wherein the inner housing is disposed within the outer housing;
[0009] The inner housing includes an upper half and a lower half of the same shape, with a portion of the correction plate located in the upper half and another portion of the correction plate located in the lower half.
[0010] Both the upper half and the lower half are provided with receiving grooves to accommodate the correction plate, and the correction plate is inserted into the receiving grooves;
[0011] The inner shell includes a first part and a second part. The width of the first part is smaller than the width of the second part. The second part is provided with a positioning post extending into the first part. The outer shell is positioned to the inner shell by the positioning post.
[0012] Preferably, both the first part and the second part are provided with the receiving groove, and the receiving groove in the first part communicates with the receiving groove in the second part.
[0013] Preferably, both the receiving groove in the first part and the receiving groove in the second part are provided with a correction plate, and the correction plate in the receiving groove in the first part and the correction plate in the receiving groove in the second part are an integral structure.
[0014] Preferably, both the upper half and the lower half are provided with cavities, and the cavity in the upper half and the cavity in the lower half cooperate to form a mounting cavity for mounting electronic components.
[0015] Preferably, the cavity is not connected to the receiving groove.
[0016] Preferably, the outer shell is an integral structure, and the outer shell is provided with a through hole that mates with the positioning post, and the positioning post extends out of the outer shell through the through hole.
[0017] Preferably, the outer shell is riveted to the inner shell by the positioning post, or the outer shell is fixed to the inner shell by screws, and the positioning post is provided with a screw hole that mates with the screw.
[0018] Preferably, the outer shell has a positioning shoulder at one end away from the second part, and the inner shell has a notch that mates with the positioning shoulder.
[0019] Preferably, the positioning shoulder and the outer shell are an integral structure.
[0020] Preferably, the calibration plate is a metal shielding plate.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0022] By making the upper and lower halves of the inner shell identical in shape, different molds are eliminated during production, reducing mold development and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the identical shape allows for mass production of both halves, further lowering the unit production cost. The alignment plate design greatly facilitates the assembly process. One part of the alignment plate is located in the upper half, and the other in the lower half; by inserting into the receiving groove, it ensures precise positioning of the upper and lower halves during assembly. This design not only avoids the misalignment problems that can occur with the mating of protrusions and grooves in traditional structures but also simplifies assembly steps and improves assembly efficiency.
[0023] The inner housing comprises a first part and a second part of different widths, as well as locating posts extending into the first part. This design allows the outer housing to be accurately positioned on the inner housing. The fit between the locating posts and the outer housing not only enhances the structural stability of the connector but also ensures its reliability during long-term use.
[0024] From a practical application perspective, this easy-to-manufacture, modular connector housing offers significant technological advantages. On one hand, reduced production costs make the connector more competitive in the market; on the other hand, improved assembly efficiency shortens the production cycle, meeting market demands for rapid connector delivery.

Furthermore, the first part 25 and the second part are symmetrically arranged so that the upper half 22 and the lower half 23 with the same shape can be correctly assembled.
[0044] The housing 1 can be made of a shielding metal material, typically by casting or stamping. Since the housing 1 is usually thin, it is preferably stamped to further reduce the manufacturing cost of the connector housing.
[0045] The upper part 22 and the lower part 23 may be made of plastic. Both the upper part 22 and the lower part 23 include a first part 25 and a second part.
[0046] In some embodiments, the upper half 22 and the lower half 23 can both be convex in shape.
[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, both the first part 25 and the second part are provided with the receiving groove 24, and the receiving groove 24 located in the first part 25 communicates with the receiving groove 24 located in the second part.
[0048] That is, the receiving groove 24 extends from the first part 25 to the second part. The orientation of the receiving groove 24 is the same as that of the side walls of the upper half 22 and the lower half 23.
[0049] The thickness of the receiving groove 24 is no more than 1 / 3 of the side wall of the upper half 22, and the receiving groove 24 is located in the middle of the side walls of the upper half 22 and the lower half 23, so that the wall thickness on both sides of the receiving groove 24 is the same.
[0050] In some embodiments, both the receiving groove 24 in the first part 25 and the receiving groove 24 in the second part are provided with a correction plate 21, and the correction plate 21 in the receiving groove 24 in the first part 25 and the correction plate 21 in the receiving groove 24 in the second part are integral structures.
