[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an automotive wiring harness connector with an automatic locking function, including a connecting housing 1. Two connecting plugs 2 are symmetrically inserted into the inner side of the connecting housing 1, and automatic locking components are installed on both sides of the connecting plugs 2. The automatic locking components include two sets of sockets symmetrically opened on the front and rear sides of the connecting plugs 2 and a plug rod 5 movably inserted into the socket. The plug rod 5 can move back and forth within the socket, and a spring 6 is connected between the plug rod 5 and the corresponding side of the socket. When the plug rod 5 moves toward the connecting plug 2, it compresses the spring 6. When the spring 6 returns to its original position, it moves the plug rod 5 away from the connecting plug 2. A locking element 7 is attached to the side of the plug rod 5 away from the connecting plug 2. The plug rod 5 is locked by the action of the spring 6. The locking element 7 can be moved into the fixing hole 9 by moving away from the connector plug 2, thereby completing the connection locking. The front and rear side walls of the connector plug 2 are constructed with grooves 8 corresponding to the locking element 7, and the grooves 8 are connected to the socket. When the locking element 7 is pressed close to the connector plug 2 by the connecting housing 1, it will move into the groove 8 to avoid obstructing the movement of the connector plug 2. The left and right outer walls of the connecting housing 1 are constructed with fixing holes 9 to accommodate the locking element 7. The top of the connector plug 2 is symmetrically integrally formed with two first slide bars 3. The inner top of the connecting housing 1 is constructed with a first slide groove 4 to accommodate the first slide bars 3. The two sets of this structure ensure that the connector plug 2 can move smoothly and stably relative to the connecting housing 1.
[0024] Specifically, a second slide bar is integrally formed in the middle of the bottom of the connector plug 2, and a second slide groove 11 is constructed on the inner bottom of the connector housing 1 to accommodate the second slide bar. This structure can further ensure the stability of the relative movement of the connector plug 2.
[0025] Furthermore, the connection between the connector 2 and the first slide bar 3, and the connection between the connector 2 and the second slide bar are both injection molded as a single unit. The injection molded single unit structure has the advantages of being less prone to damage and having high structural strength, making it suitable for the current application scenarios of the equipment.
[0026] Furthermore, connecting strips are glued to the front and rear side walls of the connecting housing 1, and one end of the connecting strip is connected to a fixing plug 10 corresponding to the fixing hole 9. The fixing plug 10 can be inserted into the fixing hole 9 to prevent external force from accidentally acting on the locking member 7 and causing the connection to loosen.
[0027] It is worth noting that the middle part of the connector 2 has a wire slot for placing the automotive wiring harness 13, and the automotive wiring harness 13 is glued to the inside of the wire slot. The specific connection of the automotive wiring harness 13 is not described in detail since it is not a direction for improvement.
[0028] It is worth noting that a label 12 is attached to the top of the connecting housing 1. The label 12 is marked with the current equipment number and other information, which makes it easy to find during maintenance. The surface of the label 12 is covered with a protective film to prevent the information from becoming blurred due to wear.
[0029] The front, back, left, and right perspectives of this device are... Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.
[0030] Working principle: Press the locking parts 7 on both sides of the connector plug 2 into the groove 8 and hold them in place. At this time, the corresponding spring 6 will be compressed. Align the connector plug 2 with the first slide bar 3 and the first slide groove 4 and move it gradually towards the inside of the connector housing 1 until the locking parts 7 abut against the inner wall of the connector housing 1 and then release. Continue to move the connector plug 2. When the locking parts 7 reach the corresponding side of the fixing hole 9, the locking parts 7 will move into the fixing hole 9 under the action of the spring 6. Then, insert the corresponding fixing plug 10 into the fixing hole to prevent the connection from loosening. Repeat the above steps to complete the connection of multiple devices. The locking can be completed automatically during connection, which is more efficient for connecting multiple devices.
