Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connectors, specifically relating to a vehicle-mounted anti-light leakage connector. Background Technology

[0002] Type-C connectors are widely used in 3C, medical, and automotive devices. In some situations, there is a need to add ambient lighting or illuminated markings around the Type-C interface, such as in automotive applications. When the car cabin is dark or at night, the driver and passengers can quickly locate the interface by observing its illumination. However, traditional Type-C connectors do not consider the need for lighting. Adding lights to existing connectors results in light leakage from non-interface areas. To prevent this leakage, additional components are needed to block the light-leaking areas, increasing costs, complicating the structure, and providing less than ideal blocking effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] (2) Technical solution This utility model provides a vehicle-mounted anti-light leakage connection female connector, including a female connector body and a light-shielding mechanism. The first end of the female connector body is used to connect with the male connector, and the second end is connected with the light-shielding mechanism. The female connector body includes a connection terminal and a metal shielding shell. The metal shielding shell is sleeved on the surface of the connection terminal, and the width of the light-shielding mechanism is greater than the inner diameter of the metal shielding shell.

[0005] Preferably, the light-shielding mechanism includes a connecting portion disposed at the end of the connecting terminal, the pins of the connecting terminal extending outward through the connecting portion, and the width of the connecting portion being greater than the inner diameter of the metal shielding shell.

[0006] Preferably, the light-shielding mechanism includes a housing, which is fitted onto the surface of the female seat body and engages with the female seat body in a limiting manner.

[0007] Preferably, the front end of the outer shell is turned outward away from the main body of the female base and forms a shielding part for blocking light.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1-13 As shown, this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted anti-light leakage connection female connector, including a female connector body 1 and a light-shielding mechanism 2. The first end of the female connector body 1 is used to connect with the male connector, and the second end is connected to the light-shielding mechanism 2. The female connector body 1 includes a connection terminal 11 and a metal shielding shell 12. The metal shielding shell 12 is sleeved on the surface of the connection terminal 11. The width of the light-shielding mechanism 2 is greater than the inner diameter of the metal shielding shell 12.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-13As shown, the light-shielding mechanism 2 includes a connecting portion 21, which is disposed at the end of the connecting terminal 11. The pins of the connecting terminal 11 extend outward through the connecting portion 21, and the width of the connecting portion 21 is greater than the inner diameter of the metal shielding shell 12. The light-shielding mechanism 2 includes an outer shell 22, which is fitted onto the surface of the female base body 1 and engages with the female base body 1 in a limiting fit. The first end of the outer shell 22 is turned outward away from the female base body 1, forming a blocking portion 221 for blocking light.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, since the width of the connecting terminal 11 is greater than the inner diameter of the metal shielding shell 12, the inner cavity of the metal shielding shell 12 is sealed. When light shines on the end of the female body 1, the light is blocked by the connecting part 21 of the connecting terminal 11, preventing the light from entering the metal shielding shell 12 and reaching the end of the female body 1. When light shines on the beginning of the female body 1, the light is blocked by the connecting part 21 of the connecting terminal 11. After entering the metal shielding shell 12, the light is blocked by the connecting part 21 of the connecting terminal 11, preventing the light from reaching the end of the female body 1, thus achieving the effect of blocking light and preventing light leakage.

[0033] In other embodiments based on the above, such as Figures 4-8 As shown, an outer shell 22 can be added. The first end of the outer shell 22 is turned outward in a direction away from the axial direction, that is, away from the main body 1 of the female connector, and forms a shielding part 221. The overall width of the outer shell 22 plus the shielding part 221 is wider than the width of the main body of the outer shell 22. When light shines on the end of the main body 1 of the female connector, the light is blocked by the connecting part 21 of the connecting terminal 11 and also by the shielding part 221, so that the light cannot enter the metal shielding shell 12 and cannot reach the end of the main body 1 of the female connector. When light shines on the first end of the main body 1 of the female connector, the light is blocked by the connecting part 21 of the connecting terminal 11 and also by the shielding part 221, so that the light cannot reach the end of the main body 1 of the female connector, thus achieving the effect of shielding the light and preventing light leakage.

[0034] In some other embodiments, such as Figures 9-13 As shown, only the outer shell 22 can be provided. The first end of the outer shell 22 is turned outward in a direction away from the axis, that is, away from the main body 1 of the female base, and forms a shielding part 221. The overall width of the outer shell 22 plus the shielding part 221 is wider than the width of the main body of the outer shell 22. When light shines on the end of the female base 1, the light is blocked by the shielding part 221, so that the light cannot enter the metal shielding shell 12, nor can it reach the end of the female base 1. When light shines on the first end of the female base 1, the light is blocked by the shielding part 221, so that the light cannot reach the end of the female base 1, thus achieving the effect of shielding the light and preventing light leakage.

[0035] In all the above embodiments, the female connector body 1 is typically used for automotive applications, but can also be used in other scenarios. When applied to an automotive scenario, the connecting pins of the connecting terminal 11 are connected to the circuit board, and the circuit board is located at the end of the female connector body 1. The circuit board is equipped with an LED light source. A light guide tube corresponding to the shape of the female connector body 1 is provided in the mounting position on the vehicle for mounting the female connector body 1. The light is emitted by the LED light source, and the light is transmitted to the front end of the female connector body 1 through the light guide tube. When the LED light source emits light, the light illuminates the end of the female connector body 1, and at the same time, the light is blocked by the blocking part 2. 21 and / or the connecting part 21 intercepts light, preventing it from entering the metal shielding shell 12 and achieving a light-shielding effect; in some embodiments, the metal shielding shell 12 has holes with spring pieces inside to enhance the connection strength with the male base. In these embodiments, a light-shielding layer can be set on the side of the light guide tube near the metal shielding shell 12 to prevent the light from the light guide tube from entering the metal shielding shell 12; this achieves the effect of blocking the light from the LED light source located at the end of the female base body from passing directly through the beginning and end of the female base body without passing through the light guide tube, thus preventing discomfort to the user's eyes.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-13 As shown, a limiting cavity 23 is formed at the end of the outer shell 22. The bottom of the connecting part 21 protrudes outward through the limiting cavity 23, and the limiting cavity 23 abuts against the left and right sides of the connecting part 21 for limiting. A bending plate 24 is provided at the end of the outer shell 22. The bending plate 24 bends towards the connecting part 21 and engages with the side of the outer shell 22, so that the bending plate 24 blocks the end of the connecting terminal 11. The limiting cavity 23 is formed between the bending plate 24 and the outer shell 22. A connecting plate 241 is formed between the outer shell 22 and the bending plate 24. Two limiting blocks 211 are formed at the end of the connecting part 21, and the connecting plate 241 is limited and engaged with the two limiting blocks 211. A fixing piece 223 extends outward from the blocking part 221 to realize the function of fixing the female body 1 to the outside.

[0037] Specifically, when installing the outer casing 22, the outer casing 22 is fitted onto the surface of the metal shielding shell 12, causing the bending plate 24 to bend from the connecting plate 241 toward the connecting terminal 11. This causes the bending plate 24 to shield the end of the connecting terminal 11, preventing light emitted from the LED light source from passing through the gap between the connecting terminal 11 and the metal shielding shell 12. When the end of the connecting terminal 11 has a connecting portion 21, the bending plate 24 shields the connecting portion 21, thereby improving the shielding effect. Based on the above, in vehicle-mounted applications, the fixing piece 223 can be used to fix the light guide tube.

[0038] Furthermore, the metal shielding shell 12 is provided with a first welding rod 121 at its end, and the first welding rod 121 is in a limiting fit with the end of the connecting part 21. The outer shell 22 is provided with a second welding rod 222.

[0039] Specifically, a firm installation effect is achieved by welding the first welding rod 121 and the second welding rod 222 to the external mounting position.

[0040] Furthermore, the connecting terminal 11 and the connecting part 21 are integrally formed.

[0041] The following is a detailed explanation of the working principle of this utility model; After the female connector body 1 is assembled, it is subjected to a light test. The light-emitting element is used to illuminate the first or second end of the female connector body 1. Since the width of the connecting terminal 11 is greater than the inner diameter of the metal shielding shell 12, the inner cavity of the metal shielding shell 12 is sealed. When the light shines on the first end of the female connector body 1, the light is blocked by the light-shielding mechanism 2, preventing the light from entering the metal shielding shell 12 or reaching the second end of the female connector body 1. When the light shines on the second end of the female connector body 1, the light is blocked by the light-shielding mechanism 2, preventing the light from entering the metal shielding shell 12 and reaching the second end of the female connector body 1. This achieves the effect of preventing light leakage and avoiding glare.

This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
