Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring harness technology, and in particular to a locking mechanism for a new energy wiring harness connector. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive wiring harnesses are the main network components of automotive circuits. They consist of copper-plated contact terminals (connectors) crimped to wires and cables, then covered with plastic insulation or an outer metal shell, and bundled together to form a circuit connection.
[0003] In existing technologies, when connecting the connectors of new energy vehicle wiring harnesses, the male and female connectors are usually aligned and plugged together, and the friction of the connectors themselves is used to ensure the anti-loosening effect. Alternatively, bolts and threads are used for locking. The former is prone to reduced friction after long-term use, which can lead to easy detachment. The latter is prone to bolt stripping, which affects the use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a locking mechanism for a new energy wiring harness connector to overcome or at least partially solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is specifically implemented as follows:
[0006] This utility model provides a locking mechanism for a new energy wiring harness connector, including a male connector and a female connector. The male connector is inserted into the female connector, and an L-shaped limiting rod is inserted into the male connector. A stop block is fixedly connected to the left end of the L-shaped limiting rod. A return spring is provided between the stop block and the male connector. The return spring is sleeved on the L-shaped limiting rod. A notch is provided on the female connector, and the L-shaped limiting rod is matched and positioned at the notch.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the male connector is provided with a socket, and the L-shaped limiting rod is inserted into the socket.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a limiting groove is integrally connected to the right side of the socket, and the limiting groove is formed on the male connector.
[0009] This utility model provides a locking mechanism for a new energy wiring harness connector. Its advantages are: it can stably lock the male and female connectors, and it is also convenient to separate the male and female connectors. It is simple to operate, easy to disassemble and assemble, and has a simple structure and high ease of use. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0017] See Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a locking mechanism for a new energy wiring harness connector, comprising a male connector 1 and a female connector 2. The male connector 1 is inserted into the female connector 2. An L-shaped limiting rod 3 is inserted into the male connector 1, and a stop block 31 is fixedly connected to the left end of the L-shaped limiting rod 3. A return spring 4 is provided between the stop block 31 and the male connector 1. The return spring 4 is sleeved on the L-shaped limiting rod 3. A notch 21 is provided on the female connector 2, and the L-shaped limiting rod 3 is matched and positioned at the notch 21.
[0018] The male connector 1 has a socket 11, and the L-shaped limiting rod 3 is inserted into the socket 11 to facilitate the L-shaped limiting rod 3 to move left and right along the socket 11.
[0019] The right side of the socket 11 is also integrally connected to a limiting groove 12, which is opened on the male connector 1. The design of the limiting groove 12 can limit the L-shaped limiting rod 3.
[0020] In use, the male connector 1 and female connector 2 are aligned and inserted together. Then, the stop block 31 is pushed to the right, causing the L-shaped limiting rod 3 to move to the right. At this time, the right end of the L-shaped limiting rod 3 moves to the right side of the notch 21. Simultaneously, the rightward movement of the stop block 31 compresses the return spring 4 and generates a rebound force. Then, the L-shaped limiting rod 3 is rotated 90°, so that the right side of the L-shaped limiting rod 3 is tightly attached to the female connector 2. Then, the stop block 31 is released. At this time, under the action of the return spring 4 restoring its deformation, the L-shaped limiting rod moves to the left. Through the combined action of the return spring 4 and the L-shaped limiting rod 3, the female connector 2 and male connector 1 are securely locked together, achieving the purpose of preventing detachment.
[0021] When it is necessary to separate the male connector 1 from the female connector 2, simply rotate the L-shaped limit rod 90° in the opposite direction. Then, under the rebound force of the return spring 4, the L-shaped limit rod 3 can be reset and placed in the limit groove 12. Then, pull the male connector 1 to the left and pull the female connector 2 to the right to separate the male connector 1 from the female connector 2.
[0022] The above are merely embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
