[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a high-voltage connector, including: a housing 1 and a high-voltage wire harness 3. The housing 1 includes a connecting part 11 and a guiding part 12. The connecting part 11 is connected to the guiding part 12 and is used to connect to a motor 2. The high-voltage wire harness 3 passes through the connecting part 11 and the guiding part 12. The guiding part 12 has an "arc-shaped structure".

[0031] In this embodiment, the connecting part 11 is provided with two mounting holes. Two bolts are passed through the two mounting holes respectively to insulate and connect with the motor 2, so as to realize the connection between the high voltage connector and the motor 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the high-voltage connector is connected to the motor 2 and the high-voltage harness 3 needs to be bent, since the guide part 12 is an "arc structure", the guide part 12 can match the bent high-voltage harness 3 and provide protection for the bent high-voltage harness 3, which helps to reduce the probability of the high-voltage harness 3 breaking.

[0033] In this embodiment, the high-voltage wiring harness 3 is made of aluminum wire. Aluminum wire has a lower cost and lighter weight, which helps to reduce the cost and weight of the whole vehicle.

[0034] In other embodiments, the high-voltage wiring harness 3 can also be made of copper wire, which has a high vibration resistance and fatigue strength and is not easily broken by the vibration of the motor 2.

[0035] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the guide section 12 is provided with a guide groove 101; the high-voltage connector also includes a shock-absorbing structure 4, which is located between the high-voltage wire harness 3 and the groove wall of the guide groove 101.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing structure 4 is disposed between the high-voltage wire harness 3 and the groove wall of the guide groove 101. The shock-absorbing structure 4 can effectively absorb the vibration energy generated by the motor 2, thereby reducing the risk of damage or breakage of the high-voltage wire harness 3 under high-frequency vibration environment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing structure 4 can be made of silicone rubber or EPDM rubber. Silicone rubber and EPDM rubber provide sufficient cushioning force, enabling the shock-absorbing structure 4 to effectively absorb vibration energy and reduce the impact on the high-voltage wiring harness 3. Silicone rubber and EPDM rubber possess high-temperature resistance, low-temperature resistance, and wear resistance, allowing the shock-absorbing structure 4 to adapt to various extreme temperature environments, ensuring that its shock-absorbing performance remains stable over a long period; furthermore, they reduce material loss due to friction, extending the service life of the shock-absorbing structure 4. Silicone rubber and EPDM rubber have strong resistance to deformation, allowing the shock-absorbing structure 4 to maintain its shape even under prolonged compression, preventing a decrease in its shock-absorbing performance due to deformation.

[0038] In this embodiment, the guide part 12 is provided with two guide grooves 101, and the high voltage connector includes two high voltage wire harnesses 3 and two shock-absorbing structures 4. The two shock-absorbing structures 4 are located one-to-one between the two high voltage wire harnesses 3 and the groove walls of the two guide grooves 101.

[0039] Preferably, the number of guide grooves 101 is the same as the number of high-voltage wire harnesses 3, and the number of damping structures 4 is the same as the number of high-voltage wire harnesses 3. The number of guide grooves 101 and the number of damping structures 4 depend on the number of high-voltage wire harnesses 3.

[0040] In other embodiments, combined with Figure 7 As shown, the damping structure 4 is an "arc structure", and the length of the damping structure 4 is 1 / 4 of a circle.

[0041] It should be understood that since the damping structure 4 is an "arc structure", the length of the damping structure 4 is the arc length of the damping structure 4.

[0042] In other embodiments, the guide portion 12 is also an "arc structure," and its length is 1 / 4 of a circle to match the bent high-voltage wire harness 3. Both the shock-absorbing structure 4 and the guide portion 12 are "arc structures," and their lengths are both 1 / 4 of a circle. This ensures that a shock-absorbing structure 4 is provided between the guide portion 12 and the high-voltage wire harness 3. The shock-absorbing structure 4 can effectively absorb the vibration energy generated by the motor 2, preventing the high-voltage wire harness 3 from wearing or breaking due to direct contact with the guide portion 12 under high-frequency vibration.

[0043] In other embodiments, the guide portion 12 is an "arc structure" and its length is 1 / 6 of a circle. The damping structure 4 is an "arc structure" and its length is 1 / 6 of a circle.

[0044] It should be understood that the length of the guide section 12 and the length of the shock-absorbing structure 4 can be selected according to the space between the motor 2 and the vehicle body.

[0045] In this embodiment, combined with Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the damping structure 4 includes multiple damping components 41, which are spaced apart from each other and are located between the high-voltage wire harness 3 and the groove wall of the guide groove 101.

[0046] It should be understood that "multiple" refers to two or more quantities, such as two, three, etc.

[0047] In this embodiment, three spaced-apart damping elements 41 are provided between the high-voltage wiring harness 3 and the groove wall of the guide groove 101, so that the three damping elements 41 do not transmit vibrations to each other, thereby absorbing vibration energy more effectively. In addition, the spaced-apart arrangement of the three damping elements 41 not only helps to reduce the weight and cost of the damping structure 4, but also facilitates the installation of the high-voltage wiring harness 3.

[0048] It should be understood that the number of shock absorbers 41 can be selected according to the length of the guide section 12.

[0049] Combination Figure 5 As shown, each shock absorber 41 includes a first connecting section 411, an intermediate connecting section 412, and a second connecting section 413. The intermediate connecting section 412 is connected between the first connecting section 411 and the second connecting section 413. The outer diameter of the intermediate connecting section 412 is larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting section 411, and the outer diameter of the intermediate connecting section 412 is larger than the outer diameter of the second connecting section 413.

[0050] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the intermediate connecting section 412 is larger than the inner diameter of the guide groove 101, that is, the intermediate connecting section 412 and the groove wall of the guide groove 101 are interference fit.

[0051] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the first connecting segment 411 is the same as the outer diameter of the second connecting segment 413. Since the outer diameter of the intermediate connecting segment 412 is larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting segment 411 and the outer diameter of the intermediate connecting segment 412 is larger than the outer diameter of the second connecting segment 413, and the intermediate connecting segment 412 is in an interference fit with the groove wall of the guide groove 101, the intermediate connecting segment 412 can prevent the shock absorber 41 from moving relative to the guide portion 12 and prevent the shock absorber 41 from detaching from the guide groove 101.

[0052] Combination Figure 5As shown, the inner diameter of the intermediate connecting section 412 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first connecting section 411, and the inner diameter of the intermediate connecting section 412 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second connecting section 413.

[0053] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the first connecting segment 411 is the same as the inner diameter of the second connecting segment 413 to facilitate the installation of the high-voltage wire harness 3. Since the inner diameter of the intermediate connecting segment 412 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first connecting segment 411 and smaller than the inner diameter of the second connecting segment 413, the intermediate connecting segment 412 can confine the high-voltage wire harness 3 within the intermediate connecting segment 412, further improving the buffering capacity of the shock absorber 41, thereby significantly reducing the possibility of breakage of the high-voltage wire harness 3.

[0054] In addition, the intermediate connecting section 412 has a certain degree of flexibility, which allows it to adapt to high-voltage wire harnesses 3 of different specifications within a certain range, thereby improving the versatility and applicability of the high-voltage connector.

[0055] It should be understood that both silicone rubber and EPDM rubber have a certain degree of elasticity.

[0056] In other embodiments, combined with Figure 8 As shown, the damping structure 4 includes three damping components 41, which are connected in sequence and are located between the high-voltage wire harness 3 and the groove wall of the guide groove 101; wherein, the first connecting section 411 of one of the two adjacent damping components 41 is connected to the second connecting section 413 of the other damping component 41.

[0057] Combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the guide portion 12 includes a first guide portion 121 and a second guide portion 122. The first guide portion 121 and the second guide portion 122 are disposed opposite to each other and are detachably connected. The guide groove 101 is located between the first guide portion 121 and the second guide portion 122.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first guide portion 121 and the second guide portion 122 are detachably connected by bolts, so as to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the first guide portion 121 and the second guide portion 122, thereby facilitating the replacement of the shock-absorbing structure 4.

[0059] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting part 11 is provided with a positioning member a, which protrudes from the connecting part 11; the guide part 12 is provided with a positioning hole, the positioning member a is located in the positioning hole and is connected to the hole wall of the positioning hole.

[0060] In this embodiment, the connecting part 11 is provided with four positioning members a, the first guide part 121 is provided with two mutually spaced first positioning holes 102, and the second guide part 122 is provided with two mutually spaced second positioning holes. The two first positioning holes 102 and the two second positioning holes are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The two positioning members a are arranged in the two first positioning holes 102 to determine the connection position between the first guide part 121 and the connecting part 11. The other two positioning members a are arranged in the two second positioning holes to determine the connection position between the second guide part 122 and the connecting part 11.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the connecting part 11 is connected to the guide part 12, the first guide part 121 and the connecting part 11 are first connected by the cooperation of the first positioning hole 102 and the positioning member a, and the second guide part 122 and the connecting part 11 are connected by the cooperation of the second positioning hole and the positioning member a. Then, the first guide part 121 and the second guide part 122 are connected by bolts, and finally the connection between the connecting part 11 and the guide part 12 is realized.

[0062] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the high-voltage connector also includes a terminal 5, which is located outside the housing 1 and is connected to the high-voltage wiring harness 3.

[0063] In this embodiment, the high-voltage harness 3 is connected to the terminal 5, and the terminal 5 is electrically connected to the motor 2. Energy transfer between the motor 2 and the high-voltage harness 3 can be achieved through the terminal 5.

[0064] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the high-voltage connector also includes a heat-shrink tubing 6, which is sleeved between the terminal 5 and the high-voltage wire harness 3.

[0065] In this embodiment, heat shrink tubing 6 is sleeved at the connection position between terminal 5 and high-voltage wire harness 3. Heat shrink tubing 6 can provide protection for the connection position between terminal 5 and high-voltage wire harness 3, and prevent short circuit caused by broken wires in high-voltage wire harness 3.
