[0050] The board-end connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] The board-side connector 100 can be installed on the controller 1000 (such as a domain controller) to electrically connect to the circuit board within the controller 1000, which can be installed within the vehicle 2000. The board-side connector 100 can also be electrically connected to the wire-side connector 200 to enable electrical connection between the wire-side connector 200 and the circuit board, facilitating information exchange between multiple module functions within the vehicle 2000.

[0052] Reference Figures 1-14 As shown, the board-end connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a mounting base 10 and a plurality of terminal modules 20.

[0053] Specifically, the mounting base 10 can be installed onto the controller 1000 to enable the connection between the board-end connector 100 and the controller 1000. The mounting base 10 can be made of plastic, ceramic or other materials, and can be formed by injection molding or other processes.

[0054] Terminal module 20 may have one or more Ethernet interfaces. For example, in some specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the left terminal module 20 has four pins, which means that the terminal module 20 has four Ethernet interfaces.

[0055] The terminal module 20 can be electrically connected to the wire connector 200 to enable information transmission. For example, in some embodiments, the terminal module 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board, and one end of the wire connector 200 is electrically connected to the terminal module 20 and the other end is electrically connected to multiple module functions in the vehicle, enabling electrical connections between the circuit board and multiple module functions for information interaction.

[0056] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the mounting base 10 has multiple protective sleeves 11, which are arranged at intervals. Each protective sleeve 11 forms a cavity 111, and the terminal modules 20 are installed inside the cavity 111. The multiple cavities 111 correspond one-to-one with the multiple terminal modules 20. The protective sleeves 11 can protect the terminal modules 20, reduce the risk of external dust, oil, and other impurities entering the cavity 111 and damaging the terminal modules 20, and improve the operational safety of the board connector 100.

[0057] Multiple protective sleeves 11 are arranged at intervals, with a certain gap between adjacent protective sleeves 11. This facilitates the insertion and removal of the wire-end connector 200 at the board-end connector 100, and also provides space for other components, allowing for the installation of more components near the mounting base 10, thus simplifying operation. For example, in some embodiments, such as... Figures 1-9 As shown, multiple protective sleeves 11 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The wire end connector 200 is inserted and mated with the terminal module 20 in the front side of the board end connector 100 in the front-back direction. The gap between adjacent protective sleeves 11 can accommodate part of the outer periphery of the wire end connector 200, so that the board end connector 100 and the wire end connector 200 are less likely to interfere with each other in position, and it is convenient to connect the board end connector 100 and the wire end connector 200.

[0058] The multiple protective sleeves 11 are arranged at intervals, and a logo can be designed on the part of the mounting base 10 located between adjacent protective sleeves 11, making it highly recognizable, for example... Figures 1-3 As shown, the mounting base 10 has a logo designed on the front surface between the two protective sleeves 11.

[0059] Each cavity 111 corresponds one-to-one with a terminal module 20, meaning each cavity 111 can be used to install one terminal module 20, allowing the mounting base 10 to install multiple terminal modules 20, thus facilitating the integration of multiple terminal modules 20 into one unit. Each terminal module 20 can have one or more Ethernet interfaces; therefore, integrating multiple terminal modules 20 into one unit via the mounting base 10 enables a single board-end connector 100 of this application to have more Ethernet interfaces, facilitating information exchange between the functions of multiple modules.

[0060] Integrating multiple terminal modules 20 into one unit not only increases the number of Ethernet interfaces in the board-end connector 100, but also reduces the space occupied by multiple terminal modules 20, thereby reducing the size of the board-end connector 100. This makes the controller 1000 with the board-end connector 100 smaller in size, and the controller 1000 occupies less space in the vehicle, so that other components can be installed in the vehicle, making the vehicle interior structure more compact. This has obvious benefits for the compatibility of the vehicle platform layout space and helps to meet the space requirements of the vehicle platform layout.

[0061] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, multiple protective sleeves 11 are arranged at intervals along the left and right direction, allowing multiple terminal modules 20 to be integrated and mounted on the mounting base 10 along the left and right direction. By integrating multiple terminal modules 20 into one unit, the size of the entire board-end connector 100 in the left and right direction can be reduced. The board-end connector 100 is mounted on the controller 1000, which reduces the size of the controller 1000 in the left and right direction, thereby reducing the installation space required for the controller 1000 and improving the compactness of various structures inside the vehicle.

[0062] The more Ethernet interfaces the terminal module 20 has, the greater the insertion and extraction force between the terminal module 20 and the wire connector 200. However, international standards limit the insertion and extraction force of the wire connector 200 to be too large. Therefore, the number of Ethernet interfaces of the terminal module 20 should not be too many.

[0063] In some related technologies, the number of Ethernet interfaces on a board-end connector is typically one, four, or six. When more Ethernet interfaces are needed, such as ten, a board-end connector with four Ethernet interfaces is usually connected to a board-end connector with six Ethernet interfaces to create ten Ethernet interfaces. However, connecting two board-end connectors results in an excessively large overall size, making the controller with these two connectors too large. This leads to the controller occupying too much space inside the vehicle, encroaching on the installation space of other structures and hindering the installation of other components within the vehicle.

[0064] In this application, the mounting base 10 can form multiple cavities 111 to install multiple terminal modules 20, which can integrate multiple terminal modules 20 into one, reduce the overall size of the board connector 100, thereby reducing the size of the controller 1000 with the board connector 100, so that the controller 1000 occupies less space in the vehicle and is less likely to encroach on the installation space of other structures in the vehicle, making it easier to install other structures in the vehicle.

[0065] Each terminal module 20 can have one or more Ethernet interfaces, thus a single board-end connector 100 of this application can have more Ethernet interfaces. Each terminal module 20 can be electrically connected to one wire-end connector 200, thus a single board-end connector 100 of this application can be electrically connected to multiple wire-end connectors 200 simultaneously. The insertion and extraction force of the wire-end connectors 200 can be controlled simply by controlling the number of Ethernet interfaces in each terminal module 20 (e.g., ensuring that the number of Ethernet interfaces in each terminal module 20 does not exceed six). Therefore, by using multiple terminal modules 20, the requirements of low insertion and extraction force of the board-end connector 100 and a large number of Ethernet interfaces can be balanced. Furthermore, the wire-end connectors 200 of different terminal modules 20 can be inserted and removed independently without affecting each other, making operation convenient.

[0066] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the board-end connector 100 can integrate multiple terminal modules 20 into one unit through the mounting base 10, thereby reducing the overall size of the board-end connector 100, thereby reducing the space occupied by the controller 1000 in the vehicle, improving the compactness of various structures in the vehicle, and each terminal module 20 can have one or more Ethernet interfaces, which can increase the number of Ethernet interfaces of the board-end connector 100, which is conducive to meeting the information interaction needs between multiple modules in the vehicle.

[0067] In addition, the number of wire harnesses in the wire-end connector 200 that is electrically connected to the terminal module 20 can be less than or equal to the number of Ethernet interfaces in the terminal module 20. Therefore, for a board-end connector 100 with a fixed number of Ethernet interfaces, it can meet the requirement that the number of Ethernet interfaces is less than or equal to the number of Ethernet interfaces in the board-end connector 100, which is highly practical.

[0068] For example, in some embodiments, a terminal module 20 may have four or six Ethernet interfaces. Standard 4-channel and 6-channel Ethernet connectors can be directly used, eliminating the need to develop new connectors with 8, 10, or even more Ethernet ports. This reduces development costs and low utilization rates associated with new connectors, allowing the multiple cavities 111 of the board connector 100 to be compatible with standard 4-channel and 6-channel Ethernet connectors, facilitating widespread adoption. The 4-channel Ethernet connector 200 can connect 4, 3, or fewer wire harnesses to meet the needs of other vehicles 2000 with fewer Ethernet interfaces.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the distance between two adjacent protective sleeves 11 is L, where 3mm ≤ L ≤ 6mm. Each protective sleeve 11 has a cavity 111 corresponding to a terminal module 20, and the terminal module 20 is detachably connected to the wire connector 200. If L is too small, the gap between two adjacent protective sleeves 11 will be too small, making it difficult to insert and remove the corresponding wire connector 200 at different cavities 111. If L is too large, the overall volume of the board connector 100 will be too large, occupying a large space and making it difficult to meet the space requirements for platform-based vehicle layout. Therefore, this application uses 3mm ≤ L ≤ 6mm, which reduces the difficulty of inserting and removing the wire connector 200 at different cavities 111 and also reduces the overall volume of the board connector 100, meeting the space requirements for platform-based vehicle layout. For example, L can be 3mm, 3.2mm, 3.5mm, 3.7mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 6mm, etc.

[0070] The mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20 can be connected by one or more of the following methods: adhesive bonding, snap-fit, bolt connection, and other connection methods. For example, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as... Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12 As shown, the board-end connector 100 also includes a connector 30. The mounting base 10 has a first mounting portion 12, and the terminal module 20 has a second mounting portion 21. The connector 30 cooperates with the first mounting portion 12 and the second mounting portion 21 respectively to connect the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20.

[0071] The connector 30 can increase the limiting surface and constraint stiffness between the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20, thereby strengthening the connection strength between the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20. This can reduce the risk of misalignment or even separation between the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20, and improve the structural strength of the board connector 100.

[0072] The connector 30 can be elongated, pin-shaped, or other shapes, and its material can be metal, plastic, or other materials. For example, in an embodiment where the connector 30 is a pin-shaped metal component, such as... Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12 As shown, the connector 30 is not easily damaged and has a large contact area with the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20 respectively, which is conducive to further increasing the connection strength between the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20.

[0073] During the process of removing the wire-end connector 200 from the board-end connector 100, the mounting base 10 is easily moved by the wire-end connector 200, causing misalignment or even separation from the terminal module 20, resulting in irreversible damage to the board-end connector 100 and wasting materials. However, by connecting the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20 with the connector 30, the integrity of the board-end connector 100 can be maintained during the removal of the wire-end connector 200, reducing the possibility of the mounting base 10 being pulled off by the wire-end connector 200 and causing the board-end connector 100 to be scrapped, thus reducing material waste and protecting the wire-end connector 200.

[0074] For example, during whole machine debugging or vehicle testing, the connector 30 makes it difficult for the mounting base 10 to be pulled off the terminal module 20, which helps to ensure the integrity of the board connector 100, reduce the waste of R&D resources, and facilitate the subsequent development and testing of the controller 1000.

[0075] The dimensions of the connector 30 can be designed according to the dimensions of the terminal module 20, so that the connector 30 can contact more parts of the terminal module 20. This increases the contact area between the connector 30 and the terminal module 20, thereby improving the constraint force between the terminal module 20 and the mounting base 10 and increasing the connection strength between the terminal module 20 and the mounting base 10. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12 As shown, the left terminal module 20 is longer in the left-right direction. The left connector 30 is increased in the left-right direction to increase the connection strength between the left connector 30 and the left terminal module 20, and between the left connector 30 and the mounting base 10, making the connection between the mounting base 10 and the left terminal module 20 more secure. Similarly, the right connector 30 is adjusted in the left-right direction according to the size of the right terminal module 20 to make the connection between the mounting base 10 and the right terminal module 20 more secure.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12As shown, each terminal module 20 is mounted to the mounting base 10 by adhesive and snap-fit, and the connection strength between the terminal module 20 and the mounting base 10 is strengthened by the connector 30, making the structural strength of the board connector 100 higher.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12 As shown, the first mounting part 12 is a mounting hole that communicates with the cavity 111, allowing the connector 30 to be inserted into it. The terminal module 20 is installed inside the cavity 111; therefore, the connector 30 can be inserted into the cavity 111 through the mounting hole to connect with the terminal module 20. The connector 30 and the mounting hole enhance the connection strength between the terminal module 20 and the mounting base 10, protecting the entire board-end connector 100. The connector 30's insertion into the mounting hole facilitates operation and assembly. The mounting hole can be rectangular, circular, irregular, or other shapes.

[0078] The second mounting portion 21 can be a snap-fit ​​structure, a socket, or other structure. For example, in some embodiments, such as... Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12 As shown, the second mounting part 21 is a plug hole, so that the connector 30 can be inserted into the first mounting part 12 and then plugged into the second mounting part 21. The operation is simple and easy to implement.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12 As shown, there are multiple connectors 30, first mounting parts 12 and second mounting parts 21. Multiple connectors 30, multiple first mounting parts 12, multiple second mounting parts 21 and multiple cavities 111 are matched one-to-one, so that one connector 30, one first mounting part 12, one second mounting part 21 and one cavity 111 are matched to improve the connection strength between multiple terminal modules 20 and the mounting base 10, making the board end connector 100 less susceptible to damage and the structural strength of the board end connector 100 is higher.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12As shown, the mounting base 10 also has at least two limiting portions 40, which are provided at the edge of the first mounting portion 12, i.e., the mounting hole, and spaced apart along the extending direction of the mounting hole. The limiting portions 40 can limit the connector 30 when it is installed in the mounting hole. For example, after the connector 30 is inserted into the mounting hole, the limiting portions 40 are located outside the connector 30, reducing the risk of the connector 30 falling out of the mounting hole and improving the reliability of the connector 30 connecting the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20. Furthermore, the at least two limiting portions 40 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the mounting hole, allowing them to contact more parts of the connector 30, thus improving the limiting effect of the at least two limiting portions 40 on the connector 30 at the mounting hole and enhancing the installation reliability of the connector 30 at the mounting hole.

[0081] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figures 2-3 and Figures 10-12 As shown, the mounting base 10 has two protective sleeves 11 and two first mounting portions 12, which correspond one-to-one. The first mounting portion 12 is a mounting hole that extends in the left-right direction. Two limiting portions 40 are provided on the front edge of the left first mounting portion 12, and the two limiting portions 40 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. A limiting portion 40 is provided on the front edge of the right first mounting portion 12. The limiting portion 40 protrudes into the mounting hole in the front-back direction. During the process of inserting the connector 30 into the mounting hole, the limiting portion 40 deforms under the action of the connector 30, allowing the connector 30 to be inserted into the mounting hole. After the connector 30 is inserted into the first mounting portion 12, the limiting portion 40 returns to its original shape, so that the limiting portion 40 can be located on the lower side of the connector 30 after the connector 30 is installed, thereby supporting the connector 30 in the vertical direction, reducing the risk of the connector 30 falling off, and improving the installation reliability of the connector 30 on the mounting base 10.

[0082] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 and Figure 10 As shown, the mounting base 10 has a first sealing portion 13 on its outer periphery. The first sealing portion 13 includes a first rib 131 and a second rib 132 extending along the outer periphery of the mounting base 10, respectively. The first rib 131 and the second rib 132 are in the thickness direction of the mounting base 10 (e.g., ...). Figures 1-3 and Figure 10 The sealing grooves 133 are spaced apart on the front-to-back direction (as shown), and are capable of being filled with sealing material to seal against the housing of the controller 1000. Here, the outer periphery of the mounting base 10 refers to its outer edge, not a limitation on its shape. For example, the mounting base 10 can be cylindrical, prismatic, irregular, or other shapes. For example, in some specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-3 and Figure 10As shown, the outer edge of the mounting base 10 is formed into a trapezoid, and the first rib 131 and the second rib 132 are located on the upper, left and right outer edges of the mounting base 10.

[0083] The first rib 131 and the second rib 132 extend along the outer periphery of the mounting base 10, allowing the sealing groove 133 to extend continuously or intermittently along the outer periphery of the mounting base 10, so as to fill the outer edge of the mounting base 10 with sealing material. The sealing material has both connection and waterproof sealing functions, and can be glass glue, sealant, rubber sealing ring, etc.

[0084] After the sealing material is filled into the sealing groove 133, the sealing material can be limited by the first rib 131, the second rib 132, the bottom of the sealing groove 133, and the housing of the controller 1000, so that the sealing material completely fills the sealing groove 133 along the outer periphery of the mounting base 10. Gaps are less likely to form between the mounting base 10 and the housing, which helps to improve the connection strength and sealing performance between the mounting base 10 and the housing, reduces the risk of external dust, oil, water, and other impurities entering the housing through the gap between the mounting base 10 and the housing, and improves the sealing performance of the board connector 100 and the controller 1000, meeting the watertightness requirements of the board connector 100, the controller 1000, and the vehicle interior.

[0085] Furthermore, multiple terminal modules 20 are integrated into a single mounting base 10 via multiple protective sleeves 11. In the process of mounting the board-end connector 100 onto the housing, compared to related technologies that mount multiple board-end connectors onto the housing to meet the requirements of multiple Ethernet interfaces, this application eliminates the need to fill the spaces between multiple board-end connectors 100 with sealing material. Sealing material is only required along the outer periphery of a single mounting base 10 to achieve a sealed connection between the controller 1000 and the board-end connector 100 with multiple Ethernet interfaces. This makes the sealing assembly of the controller 1000 and the soldering assembly of the terminal modules 20 to the circuit board inside the controller 1000 more convenient, reducing the amount of sealing material required and thus lowering the installation cost of the board-end connector 100.

[0086] Therefore, by integrating multiple terminal modules 20 into one unit and filling the outer periphery of a mounting base 10 with sealing connection material, the quality control consistency of the board connector 100 and the controller 1000 can be better managed, and at the same time, it also saves on the types of materials imported into the BOM (Bill of Materials).

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the sealing groove 133 includes a first groove segment 1331 and a second groove segment 1332. The bottom surface of the first groove segment 1331 extends horizontally, and the bottom surface of the second groove segment 1332 extends in a direction inclined to the vertical. This makes it less likely for the sealing material in the first groove segment 1331 and the second groove segment 1332 to accumulate too much downward or even fall off under the action of gravity. This helps to make the sealing material in the sealing groove 133 more evenly distributed, thereby improving the connection strength and sealing performance between the mounting base 10 and the housing.

[0088] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the sealing groove 133 includes a first groove segment 1331 located on the upper side and second groove segments 1332 located on the left and right sides. The first groove segment 1331 extends in the left-right direction, and the bottom surface of the second groove segment 1332 extends in a direction inclined to the up-down direction. Specifically, the bottom surface of the left second groove segment 1332 extends in a direction between the lower left and the upper right, and the bottom surface of the right second groove segment 1332 extends in a direction between the upper left and the lower right.

[0089] At the first groove section 1331, the sealing material is less likely to accumulate at any point in the left or right direction, resulting in a more uniform distribution of the sealing material at the first groove section 1331. At the second groove section 1332, the second groove section 1332 extends downwards at an angle rather than vertically downwards, preventing the sealing material from accumulating excessively at the lower end or even falling directly down. This allows for a more uniform distribution of the sealing material at the second groove section 1332, resulting in better connection strength and sealing performance between the first groove section 1331 and the shell, respectively.

[0090] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 and Figures 11-12 As shown, the protective sleeve 11 has a second sealing part 14 inside, which can seal and cooperate with the wire connector 200. The terminal module 20 is installed in the cavity 111 of the protective sleeve 11. After the wire connector 200 is electrically connected to the terminal module 20, part of the structure is located inside the protective sleeve 11. The second sealing part 14 can seal the protective sleeve 11 and the wire connector 200, making it less likely for gaps to form at the contact points between the protective sleeve 11 and the wire connector 200, thus improving the sealing performance between the protective sleeve 11 and the wire connector 200. The second sealing part 14 reduces the risk of external dust, oil, water and other impurities entering the terminal module 20 through the protective sleeve 11 and the wire connector 200. This improves the sealing performance between the board connector 100 and the wire connector 200, reduces the possibility of leakage after the board connector 100 and the wire connector 200 are electrically connected, and makes the electrical connection between the board connector 100 and the wire connector 200 safer and more reliable. This helps to meet the water tightness requirements of the board connector 100, the controller 1000 and the vehicle interior.

[0091] The sealing fit between the second sealing part 14 and the wire connector 200 can be achieved through interference fit, snap fit, or other connection relationships. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 and Figures 11-12 As shown, the second sealing part 14 is a protrusion protruding towards the cavity 111. The protrusion extends along the inner circumferential surface of the protective sleeve 11, and the wire connector 200 can be interference-fitted with the protrusion. The fact that the second sealing part 14 is a protrusion reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the second sealing part 14 and makes it easier to manufacture.

[0092] The inner circumferential surface of the protective sleeve 11 refers to the inner edge of the protective sleeve 11, and does not limit the shape of the protective sleeve 11. For example, the protective sleeve 11 can be cylindrical, prismatic, irregular, or other shapes. For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 and Figures 11-12 As shown, the inner surface of the protective sleeve 11 is formed into a smoothly transitioned cuboid, and the protrusions are located on the upper, lower, left and right inner surfaces of the protective sleeve 11.

[0093] The protrusion extends along the inner circumferential surface of the protective sleeve 11, so that the second sealing part 14 can extend continuously or simply along the inner surface of the protective sleeve 11, so as to seal the connection with the wire connector 200 along the inner surface of the protective sleeve 11, making it less likely for gaps to be generated in the extension direction of the inner circumferential surface of the protective sleeve 11, and thus achieving a better sealing effect.

[0094] The interference fit between the wire connector 200 and the protrusion makes it easier to insert the wire connector 200 into the protective sleeve 11 for electrical connection with the terminal module 20. The interference fit also increases the contact area between the sealing sleeve 11 and the wire connector 200, resulting in better sealing performance. Simultaneously, the protrusion is less prone to damage, making the interference fit between the wire connector 200 and the protrusion less likely to fail, thus ensuring more stable sealing performance.

[0095] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 and Figures 11-12 As shown, the second sealing part 14 is a protrusion protruding towards the cavity 111. The outer periphery of the wire connector 200 has a deformable sealing silicone sleeve, so that the second sealing part 14 and the sealing silicone sleeve of the wire connector 200 are pressed against each other to form an interference fit, which can realize the sealed connection between the board connector 100 and the wire connector 200 to seal the cavity 111.

[0096] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the terminal module 20 includes a socket 22 and at least one terminal 23, the terminal 23 being mounted on the socket 22 for electrical connection with the wire connector 200. The socket 22 and the terminal 23 can be made of metal, and the socket 22 can be formed by die casting or other methods.

[0097] The connection between terminal 23 and wire connector 200 enables electrical connection between board connector 100 and wire connector 200. The socket 22 provides support and positioning for terminal 23, ensuring accurate and stable placement and improving the stability of the electrical connection between terminal 23 and wire connector 200. The number of terminals 23 can be one, two, or more, allowing terminal module 20 to have multiple Ethernet interfaces, enabling information exchange between multiple module functions.

[0098] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the terminal module 20 includes at least four terminals 23. This increases the number of Ethernet interfaces on the board-end connector 100, which is beneficial for meeting the information exchange needs between multiple modules within the vehicle.

[0099] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, there are two terminal modules 20. One terminal module 20 includes four or six terminals 23, and the other terminal module 20 includes four or six terminals 23, giving the board-end connector 100 eight, ten, or twelve Ethernet interfaces, resulting in a large number of Ethernet interfaces. Furthermore, the number of terminals 23 in each terminal module 20 is relatively small, which reduces the insertion and extraction force of the wire-end connector 200 and the size of each terminal module 20. This allows for a smaller overall size of the board-end connector 100 while increasing the number of Ethernet interfaces.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the terminal module 20 also includes an electromagnetic interference shield 24. The electromagnetic interference shield 24 is disposed on the side of the terminal 23 facing away from the mounting base 10 and between the terminals 23 arranged in the front-to-back direction. The electromagnetic interference shield 24 can be made of metal. The electromagnetic interference shield 24 can prevent electromagnetic interference to ensure the normal operation of the board connector 100.

[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the multiple terminal modules 20 include a first terminal module 201 and a second terminal module 202. The first terminal module 201 includes six terminals 23, and the second terminal module 202 includes four terminals 23. Through the first terminal module 201 and the second terminal module 202, the board-end connector 100 of this application can have ten Ethernet interfaces. The large number of Ethernet interfaces meets the information interaction needs between multiple module functions within the vehicle. Furthermore, the relatively small number of terminals 23 in each terminal module 20 not only reduces the insertion and extraction force of the wire-end connector 200 connected to each terminal module 20, but also reduces the overall size of the board-end connector 100, which is beneficial for meeting the space requirements of the vehicle platform layout.

[0102] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the board-end connector 100 can be as small as 65mm in the left-right direction, which can meet the space requirements of the whole vehicle platform layout and the requirement of ten Ethernet interfaces.

[0103] This application reduces the insertion and extraction force of the wire connector 200 by controlling the number of terminals 23 in each terminal module 20, thereby reducing the need for interlocking mechanisms to assist in the insertion and extraction of the wire connector 200. While interlocking mechanisms can assist in the insertion and extraction of the wire connector 200 under excessive insertion and extraction force, their installation leads to cumbersome operation, increased costs, and requires reserved space outside the protective sleeve 11 to accommodate part of the interlocking mechanism, resulting in an increase in the size of the board connector 100. Therefore, this application eliminates the interlocking mechanism, simplifying operation, reducing costs, and decreasing the size of the board connector 100. This reduces the space occupied by the controller 1000 equipped with the board connector 100 of this application within the vehicle, improving the compactness of the installation of various structures within the vehicle.

[0104] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-9 and Figures 13-14 As shown, the mounting base 10 has at least one weight-reducing groove 15 between adjacent protective sleeves 11. This means that a portion of the mounting base 10 is removed between adjacent protective sleeves 11, achieving weight reduction of the mounting base 10 and reducing the burden on the controller 1000 mounting plate connector 100, thus achieving a lighter controller 1000. Furthermore, the weight-reducing groove 15 allows for the removal of excess material from excessively thick sections without affecting the overall strength of the mounting base 10, improving the uniformity of the mounting base 10's wall thickness. The number and shape of the weight-reducing grooves 15 can be adjusted as needed to meet the requirements of strength, weight reduction, and wall thickness uniformity of the mounting base 10.

[0105] In addition, stamps (such as production date stamps, identification numbers, etc.) or patterns can be engraved inside the weight reduction groove 15 to make full use of the internal space of the weight reduction groove 15 and improve the utilization rate of each part of the board end connector 100 structure.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 and Figures 10-14 As shown, the outer periphery of the protective sleeve 11 is provided with a third protrusion 112 and a locking protrusion 113. The third protrusion 112 can be positioned and engaged with the wire end connector 200, and the locking protrusion 113 can be engaged with the wire end connector 200. By adjusting the number, position, and formation of the third protrusion 112, the third protrusion 112 can be matched with the corresponding structure of the wire end connector 200, which can guide and limit the installation of the wire end connector 200, making it less likely to be installed incorrectly and achieving a foolproof function. The engaging engagement of the locking protrusion 113 with the wire end connector 200 can improve the connection strength between the board end connector 100 and the wire end connector 200 and facilitate operation.

[0107] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, the wire connector 200 is provided with a first mating part 210 and a second mating part 220. The third protrusion 112 can mate with the first mating part 210, and the locking protrusion 113 can mate with the second mating part 220 to connect the board connector 100 and the wire connector 200.

[0108] The controller 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a circuit board, a wire connector 200, and a board connector 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The housing is provided with a clearance opening for mounting the board connector 100, and a mounting base 10 is mounted on the clearance opening.

[0109] Since the board-end connector 100 according to the present utility model embodiment has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the controller 1000 according to the present utility model embodiment can integrate multiple terminal modules 20 into one unit through the mounting base 10, thereby reducing the overall size of the board-end connector 100, thereby reducing the space occupied by the controller 1000 in the vehicle, improving the compactness of various structures in the vehicle, and each terminal module 20 can have one or more Ethernet interfaces, which can increase the number of Ethernet interfaces of the board-end connector 100, which is conducive to meeting the information interaction needs between multiple module functions in the vehicle.

[0110] The clearance opening can be located on one side of the housing in the horizontal or vertical direction to meet different installation requirements of the board-end connector 100. For example, in some embodiments, the front side of the housing is provided with a clearance opening, so that the board-end connector 100 is installed in the clearance opening of the housing in the front-back direction. The circuit board is located inside the housing and below the board-end connector 100, which enables the lower side of the board-end connector 100 to be soldered to the circuit board to achieve circuit connection. The wire-end connector 200 can be inserted and mated with the board-end connector 100 in the front-back direction to achieve horizontal installation of the board-end connector 100.

[0111] like Figure 15 As shown, the vehicle 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a controller 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Since the controller 1000 according to the present invention has the aforementioned beneficial technical effects, the vehicle 2000 according to the present invention can integrate multiple terminal modules 20 into one unit via the mounting base 10, thereby reducing the overall size of the board-end connector 100, and thus reducing the interior space occupied by the controller 1000, improving the compactness of various structures within the vehicle. Furthermore, each terminal module 20 can have one or more Ethernet interfaces, increasing the number of Ethernet interfaces on the board-end connector 100, which is beneficial for meeting the information interaction needs between multiple modules within the vehicle and the space requirements for the overall vehicle platform layout.

[0112] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 and Figures 11-12 As shown, the mounting base 10 has a first sealing part 13 on its outer periphery, and the protective sleeve 11 has a second sealing part 14 inside, which can improve the sealing performance of the board connector 100 and the controller 1000. The better sealing conditions enable the controller 1000 to meet various environments for ADAS product placement. For example, the controller 1000 can be installed in the front compartment, passenger compartment area or other areas of the vehicle 2000. Even if the sealing performance of the area of ​​the vehicle 2000 used to install the controller 1000 is poor, the first sealing part 13 and the second sealing part 14 can effectively ensure that the controller 1000 is not easily affected by water immersion. The installation position of the controller 1000 is relatively flexible, and the safety of the controller 1000 in use is good.

[0113] The board-end connector 100, controller 1000, and vehicle 2000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0114] like Figures 1-15 As shown, a vehicle 2000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention includes a controller 1000, which includes a housing, a circuit board, a wire connector 200, and a board connector 100. The housing is provided with a clearance opening for mounting the board connector 100, and a mounting base 10 is mounted in the clearance opening.

[0115] The board-end connector 100 includes a mounting base 10 and two terminal modules 20. The mounting base 10 can be installed onto the controller 1000, and the terminal modules 20 can be electrically connected to the wire-end connector 200. The mounting base 10 has two protective sleeves 11, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction with a spacing L of 3.5 mm. Each protective sleeve 11 forms a cavity 111, and the terminal modules 20 are installed into the cavity 111, with each cavity 111 corresponding to one of the two terminal modules 20.

[0116] The board-end connector 100 also includes two connectors 30. The mounting base 10 has two first mounting portions 12, and the terminal module 20 has two second mounting portions 21. Each connector 30 mates with one first mounting portion 12 and one second mounting portion 21 respectively to connect the mounting base 10 and the terminal module 20. The first mounting portion 12 is a mounting hole that communicates with the cavity 111, and the connector 30 can be inserted into the mounting hole.

[0117] The mounting base 10 also has four limiting parts 40, two of which are located at the edge of one mounting hole and the other two at the edge of another mounting hole. At any mounting hole, two limiting parts 40 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting hole, and the limiting parts 40 can limit the connector 30 when it is installed in the mounting hole.

[0118] The mounting base 10 has a first sealing portion 13 on its outer periphery. The first sealing portion 13 includes a first rib 131 and a second rib 132 extending along the outer periphery of the mounting base 10. The first rib 131 and the second rib 132 are spaced apart in the thickness direction of the mounting base 10 to define a sealing groove 133. The sealing groove 133 can be filled with sealing material to seal with the housing of the controller 1000. The sealing groove 133 includes a first groove segment 1331 and a second groove segment 1332. The bottom surface of the first groove segment 1331 extends horizontally, and the bottom surface of the second groove segment 1332 extends in a direction inclined to the vertical direction.

[0119] The protective sleeve 11 is provided with a second sealing part 14, which can be sealed and fitted with the wire end connector 200. The second sealing part 14 is a protrusion that protrudes toward the cavity 111 and extends along the inner circumferential surface of the protective sleeve 11. The wire end connector 200 can be interference-fitted with the protrusion.

[0120] The two terminal modules 20 include a first terminal module 201 and a second terminal module 202. The first terminal module 201 includes a socket 22, six terminals 23, two electromagnetic shielding plates 24, and multiple mounting posts 25 located at the bottom. The second terminal module 202 includes a socket 22, four terminals 23, two electromagnetic shielding plates 24, and multiple mounting posts 25 located at the bottom. The terminals 23 and electromagnetic shielding plates 24 are mounted on the socket 22. The terminals 23 are used for electrical connection with the wire connector 200, the electromagnetic shielding plates 24 are used to prevent electromagnetic interference to ensure the normal operation of the board connector 100, and the mounting posts 25 are used for soldering to the circuit board.

[0121] The mounting base 10 has six weight-reducing grooves 15 between adjacent protective sleeves 11. The left protective sleeve 11 has a third rib 112 on its left and upper sides, and the right protective sleeve 11 has a third rib 112 on its right and upper sides. The third ribs 112 can be positioned and engaged with the wire connector 200. Both the left and right protective sleeves 11 have a locking protrusion 113 on their upper sides, which can engage with the wire connector 200.

[0122] The assembly steps for board-end connector 100 are described below.

[0123] First, six terminals 23 and two electromagnetic shielding plates 24 are inserted into the left socket 22 via snap-fit ​​connection to form a terminal module 20. Similarly, four terminals 23 and two electromagnetic shielding plates 24 are inserted into the right socket 22 via snap-fit ​​connection to form another terminal module 20. Then, the two terminal modules 20 are respectively inserted into the two cavities 111 of the mounting base 10. The connection between the terminal modules 20 and the mounting base 10 is a combination of adhesive and snap-fit ​​connection. One terminal module 20 is connected to the mounting base 10 via a connector 30, and the other terminal module 20 is connected to the mounting base 10 via another connector 30, resulting in a board-end connector 100.

[0124] The board-end connector 100 is sealed and installed in the housing of the controller 1000 through the first sealing part 13, and the board-end connector 100 is electrically connected to the circuit board inside the housing through the mounting post 25 of the terminal module 20. The wire-end connector 200 is interference-fitted with the second sealing part 14 of the protective sleeve 11 to be sealed and installed in the board-end connector 100. One wire-end connector 200 is electrically connected to one terminal module 20.

[0125] The board-end connector 100 of this application can meet the requirements of ten Ethernet ports and also meet the IP (Ingress Protection) 76 waterproof sealing performance through the first sealing part 13 and the second sealing part 14. Furthermore, the two terminal modules 20 are integrated into one unit, making the board-end connector 100 smaller, and consequently the controller 1000 smaller, which is beneficial to meeting the space requirements of the vehicle platform layout.

[0126] Other configurations and operations of the board-end connector 100, controller 1000, and vehicle 2000 according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
