Connectors and vehicles

Abstract

This application provides a connector and a vehicle. The connector has a slot, and the inner wall of the slot has a first internal thread and a second internal thread. The first internal thread and the second internal thread are spaced apart along the axial direction of the slot. The second internal thread is located between the first internal thread and the bottom wall of the slot. The first internal thread is used to mate with the threaded connector adapter, and the second internal thread is used to mate with the threaded connector adapter. Because the first internal thread and the second internal thread are spaced apart, there is a certain span between the first internal thread and the second internal thread, which makes the span of the threaded contact between the connector adapter and the connector female a longer, which is beneficial to improving the effect of the connector female in fixing the connector adapter.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a connector and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors can serve as carriers for energy or signal exchange between electronic devices and power modules. A connector may include a female connector and a male connector adapter. The male connector adapter is electrically connected to the female connector, and the female connector also needs to secure the male connector adapter.

[0003] In traditional connectors, the connection between the female connector and the male connector is not secure, especially when the connector is used in mobile devices, such as vehicles, where the female connector and the male connector are prone to coming loose. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a connector and a vehicle that facilitates the stability of the connector's electrical connection.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a connector having a slot, the inner sidewall of which has a first internal thread and a second internal thread; the first internal thread and the second internal thread are spaced apart along the axial direction of the slot, the second internal thread being located between the first internal thread and the bottom wall of the slot, the first internal thread being used to mate with the male adapter thread of the connector, and the second internal thread being used to mate with the male adapter thread of the connector.

[0006] In this design, since the first internal thread and the second internal thread are spaced apart and there is a certain span between them, the span of the threaded contact between the male connector adapter and the female connector is longer, which is beneficial to improving the effect of the female connector fixing the male connector adapter.

[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the diameter of the first internal thread is larger than the diameter of the second internal thread, and the second internal thread is located between the first internal thread and the bottom wall of the slot, which facilitates the insertion of the connector adapter male into the slot of the connector female.

[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the connector further includes a first connecting section located between the first internal thread and the second internal thread, the diameter of the first connecting section gradually decreasing from the first internal thread to the second internal thread. During the insertion of the connector adapter male into the slot, the first connecting section can guide the connector female, facilitating the installation of the connector adapter male into the connector female.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the connector further includes a second connecting section located between the second internal thread and the bottom wall, the diameter of which gradually decreases from the second internal thread to the bottom wall. During the insertion of the male connector adapter into the slot, the second connecting section can guide the male connector adapter, facilitating its installation into the female connector socket.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first internal thread and the second internal thread share a common helical axis, which facilitates the insertion of the connector adapter male into the connector female.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the connector includes a spring, one end of which is connected to the bottom wall, and the other end protruding from the bottom wall for contact with the male connector adapter. The spring is capable of elastic deformation; when the male connector adapter is inserted into the female connector socket, the male connector presses against the spring, causing it to elastically deform. Even if the connection between the male connector adapter and the female connector socket becomes loose, the spring can still maintain contact with the male connector adapter using its own elasticity, ensuring good electrical contact even when the connection is loose.

[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first internal thread and the second internal thread are insulated from each other, and the second internal thread is insulated from the bottom wall. One of the first internal thread, the second internal thread, and the bottom wall of the slot is a positive power supply pin, another is a negative power supply pin, and yet another is a signal line pin. The positive power supply pin of the connector female is used to transmit positive electricity to the connector adapter male, the negative power supply pin of the connector female is used to transmit negative electricity to the connector adapter male, and the signal line pin of the connector female is used to acquire the status of the connector female and control the connector female to supply power to the connector adapter male based on the status of the connector female.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the bottom wall is provided with a first conductive area, a second conductive area, and a third conductive area, which are mutually insulated. One of the first, second, and third conductive areas serves as a positive power supply pin, another as a negative power supply pin, and the third as a signal line pin. Since all three conductive areas are located on the bottom wall, they can be machined together on the bottom wall, simplifying the manufacturing process of the connector socket.

[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the second conductive region surrounds the first conductive region, and the third conductive region surrounds the second conductive region. Arranging the first, second, and third conductive regions from the inside out allows them to be more concentrated on the bottom wall, which helps reduce the area of ​​the bottom wall.

[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first conductive region is located between the second and third conductive regions, with the first and second conductive regions spaced apart, and the first and third conductive regions also spaced apart. By arranging the first, second, and third conductive regions in a sequentially spaced manner, the insulation performance between the first, second, and third conductive regions can be improved.

[0016] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the connector is fixed to the vehicle's center console or roof. For example, the female connector is fixed to the vehicle's center console, and the male connector adapter is inserted into the female connector, which can charge electronic devices. These electronic devices can be mobile phones, cameras, wireless chargers, charging stands, etc. Alternatively, the female connector can be fixed to the vehicle's roof, and the male connector adapter is inserted into the female connector, which can charge electronic devices. These electronic devices can be mobile phones, cameras, dashcams, charging stands, etc.

[0017] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a connector, wherein the side surface of the connector is provided with a first external thread and a second external thread; the first external thread and the second external thread are spaced apart along the axial direction of the connector, the first external thread is used to mate with the thread of the connector female, and the second external thread is used to mate with the thread of the connector female. Since the first external thread and the second external thread are spaced apart, there is a certain span between the first external thread and the second external thread, which makes the span of the threaded contact between the connector male adapter and the connector female a longer, which is beneficial to improving the connection stability between the connector male adapter and the connector female.

[0018] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the diameter of the first external thread is larger than the diameter of the second external thread, which facilitates the insertion of the connector adapter male into the connector female during the process of installing the connector adapter male into the connector female.

[0019] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the first external thread and the second external thread share a common helical axis, which facilitates the insertion of the connector adapter male into the connector female.

[0020] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the connector includes a rod portion with a first protrusion and a second protrusion protruding radially outward. The first and second protrusions are spaced apart axially along the rod portion. The first protrusion has a first external thread along its radially outer surface, and the second protrusion has a second external thread along its radially outer surface. By providing the spaced-apart first and second protrusions on the rod portion, a gap is formed between them. During the process of installing the male connector adapter into the female connector socket, the area between the first and second protrusions will not interfere with the mating between the male connector adapter and the female connector socket, facilitating the installation of the male connector adapter into the female connector socket.

[0021] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, one end of the rod is used to extend into the connector female socket, and a second external thread is located between the first external thread and the end. The first external thread, the second external thread, and the end are insulated from each other. One of the first external thread, the second external thread, and the end is a positive power supply pin, another is a negative power supply pin, and yet another is a signal line pin. The first and second external threads are used to mate and connect with the connector female socket, and they also conduct electricity, enabling the connector adapter male to electrically connect with the connector female socket. The first external thread, the second external thread, and the end of the rod can be made of metal.

[0022] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, one end of the rod is used to extend into the connector, and the end is provided with a first contact, a second contact, and a third contact; the first contact, the second contact, and the third contact are insulated from each other; one of the first contact, the second contact, and the third contact is a positive power supply pin, another is a negative power supply pin, and yet another is a signal line pin. The first contact, the second contact, and the third contact are all concentrated at the end, which facilitates the processing of the connector adapter male.

[0023] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the connector is also used to connect to a Type-C interface. The male connector adapter connects to the electronic device interface via the Type-C interface, and the connector can charge the electronic device via the Type-C interface.

[0024] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the connector is also used to connect to a wireless charging coil, which can be located at the end of the male connector adapter away from the female connector, allowing the male connector adapter to wirelessly charge electronic devices via the wireless charging coil.

[0025] Thirdly, this application also provides a vehicle that includes the connector as described in the first or second aspect. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments or background art of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a vehicle 1, which includes a connector assembly 10, a center console 12, and a roof 11. The connector assembly 10 can be fixed to the center console 12 or the roof 11.

[0030] In some embodiments, vehicle 1 may further include an on-board terminal, connector assembly 10 may be electrically connected to the on-board terminal, and the on-board terminal may supply power to connector assembly 10.

[0031] In some embodiments, vehicle 1 may further include an on-board power supply, and connector assembly 10 may be electrically connected to the on-board power supply, which may supply power to connector assembly 10. The on-board power supply may be an electrical voltage source in a gasoline-powered vehicle, or it may be a battery pack in a new energy vehicle. It should be noted that the on-board terminal may be powered by an electrical voltage source, or it may be powered by a battery pack.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The connector assembly 10 includes two connectors: a female connector 100 and a male connector adapter 200. The female connector 100 is fixed to the central control panel 12 or the ceiling 11. The male connector adapter 200 transmits electrical energy from the female connector 100 to the electronic device 500. The female connector 100 and the male connector adapter 200 are electrically connected and relatively fixed. The male connector adapter 200 has an electrical connection interface adapted to the electronic device 500. The male connector adapter 200 can also have various different electrical connection interfaces, such as a USB interface. The electronic device 500 can be inserted into the USB interface to achieve electrical connection with the male connector adapter 200.

[0033] Vehicle 1 has a driving function, and the connection between the male connector adapter 200 and the female connector 100 is prone to loosening. To improve the connection stability between the male connector adapter 200 and the female connector 100, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 3This application provides a connector, which may be a connector female 100. The connector female 100 has a slot 110 for inserting a connector adapter male 200. The inner sidewall of the slot 110 has a first internal thread 120 and a second internal thread 130, which are spaced apart. The connector adapter male 200 mates with the first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130. Since the first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130 are spaced apart, there is a certain span between the first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130, which makes the span of the threaded contact between the connector adapter male 200 and the connector female 100 longer, which is beneficial to improving the effect of the connector female 100 in fixing the connector adapter male 200.

[0034] In the embodiments provided in this application, the second internal thread 130 is located between the first internal thread 120 and the bottom wall 140 of the slot 110. The diameter of the first internal thread 120 is larger than the diameter of the second internal thread 130, which facilitates the insertion of the connector adapter male 200 into the slot 110 of the connector female 100.

[0035] In the connector female socket 100 provided in this application, the connector female socket 100 further includes a first connecting section 150 located between the first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130, the diameter of the first connecting section 150 gradually decreasing from the first internal thread 120 to the second internal thread 130. During the process of inserting the connector adapter male 200 into the slot 110, the first connecting section 150 can guide the connector female socket 100, facilitating the installation of the connector adapter male 200 into the connector female socket 100.

[0036] The connector female socket 100 also includes a second connecting section 160 located between the second internal thread 130 and the bottom wall 140, the diameter of the second connecting section 160 gradually decreasing from the second internal thread 130 to the bottom wall 140. During the insertion of the connector adapter male 200 into the connector female socket 100, the second connecting section 160 can guide the connector adapter male 200, facilitating its installation into the connector female socket 100.

[0037] A second connecting section 160 is provided between the base plate of the slot 110 and the second internal thread 130, so that the bottom wall 140 of the slot 110 and the second internal thread 130 are spaced apart, and the first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130 can be insulated from each other by the second connecting section 160. When the connector adapter male 200 is inserted into the connector female 100, since the second internal thread 130 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 140, the second internal thread 130 is less likely to interfere with the contact between the connector adapter male 200 and the bottom wall 140.

[0038] In the embodiments provided in this application, during the process of inserting the male connector adapter 200 into the female connector 100, the male connector adapter 200 simultaneously engages with the first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130. The first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130 share a common helical axis, which facilitates the insertion of the male connector adapter 200 into the female connector 100.

[0039] In the embodiments provided in this application, the connector further includes a spring 170, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 140, and the other end of which protrudes from the bottom wall 140 and is used to contact the connector adapter male head 200.

[0040] The spring 170 is capable of elastic deformation. When the male connector 200 is inserted into the female connector 100, the male connector 200 presses against the spring 170, causing it to elastically deform. Even if the connection between the male connector 200 and the female connector 100 becomes loose, the spring 170 can still maintain contact with the male connector 200 using its own elasticity, ensuring good electrical contact even with a loose connection. Multiple springs 170 can be used, and the male connector 200 can contact multiple springs 170 simultaneously when inserted into the female connector 100. In the embodiments provided in this application, the first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130 are insulated from each other, and the second internal thread 130 is insulated from the bottom wall 140. One of the first internal thread 120, the second internal thread 130, and the bottom wall 140 of the slot 110 is a positive power supply pin, another is a negative power supply pin, and yet another is a signal line pin. The first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130 are used to mate and connect with the connector adapter male 200. The first internal thread 120 and the second internal thread 130 are also used for conductivity, enabling electrical connection between the connector female 100 and the connector adapter male 200. The first internal thread 120, the second internal thread 130, and the bottom wall 140 all have good conductivity, and the first internal thread 120, the second internal thread 130, and the bottom wall 140 can be made of metal.

[0041] The positive power supply pin of the connector female socket 100 is used to transmit positive power to the connector adapter male 200, and the negative power supply pin of the connector female socket 100 is used to transmit negative power to the connector adapter male 200. The signal line pin of the connector female socket 100 is used to acquire the status of the connector female socket 100 and control the connector female socket 100 to supply power to the connector adapter male 200 according to the status of the connector female socket 100. For example, when the connector female socket 100 is connected to the electronic device 500 through the connector adapter male 200, the signal line pin can acquire the connection status of the connector female socket 100 to the electronic device 500 through the connector adapter male 200, so that the connector female socket 100 supplies power to the connector adapter male 200. If the signal line pin acquires that the connector adapter male 200 connected to the connector female socket 100 is not connected to the electronic device, the signal line pin can control the connector female socket 100 not to supply power to the connector adapter male 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first internal thread 120 can be a negative power supply pin, the second internal thread 130 can be a positive power supply pin, and the bottom wall 140 can be a signal line pin.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first internal thread 120 can be a negative power supply pin, the second internal thread 130 can be a signal line pin, and the bottom wall 140 can be a positive power supply pin.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first internal thread 120 can be a signal line pin, the second internal thread 130 can be a negative power supply pin, and the bottom wall 140 can be a positive power supply pin.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first internal thread 120 can be a positive power supply pin, the second internal thread 130 can be a signal line pin, and the bottom wall 140 can be a negative power supply pin.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first internal thread 120 can be a positive power supply pin, the second internal thread 130 can be a negative power supply pin, and the bottom wall 140 can be a signal line pin.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5The bottom wall 140 is provided with a first conductive area 141, a second conductive area 142 and a third conductive area 143, which are insulated from each other; one of the first conductive area 141, the second conductive area 142 and the third conductive area 143 is a positive power supply pin, another is a negative power supply pin and yet another is a signal line pin.

[0049] In the embodiments provided in this application, the first conductive region 141 may be provided with one or more spring pieces 170 for the connector adapter male 200. One end of the spring piece 170 in the first conductive region 141 is fixedly connected to the first conductive region 141, and the other end is in elastic contact with the connector adapter male 200.

[0050] The second conductive area 142 may be provided with one or more springs 170 for the connector adapter male 200. One end of the spring 170 in the second conductive area 142 is fixedly connected to the second conductive area 142, and the other end is in elastic contact with the connector adapter male 200.

[0051] The third conductive region 143 may be provided with one or more springs 170 for the connector adapter male 200. One end of the spring 170 in the third conductive region 143 is fixedly connected to the third conductive region 143, and the other end is in elastic contact with the connector adapter male 200.

[0052] The first conductive area 141, the second conductive area 142, and the third conductive area 143 are all located on the bottom wall 140. The three conductive areas can be concentrated on the bottom wall 140 for processing, which simplifies the processing of the connector female 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first conductive region 141 can be used as a negative power supply pin, the second conductive region 142 can be used as a positive power supply pin, and the third conductive region 143 can be used as a signal line pin.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first conductive region 141 can be used as a negative power supply pin, the second conductive region 142 can be used as a signal line pin, and the third conductive region 143 can be used as a positive power supply pin.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first conductive region 141 can be used as a signal line pin, the second conductive region 142 can be used as a negative power supply pin, and the third conductive region 143 can be used as a positive power supply pin.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first conductive region 141 can serve as a signal line pin, the second conductive region 142 can serve as a positive power supply pin, and the third conductive region 143 can serve as a negative power supply pin.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first conductive region 141 can be used as a positive power supply pin, the second conductive region 142 can be used as a signal line pin, and the third conductive region 143 can be used as a negative power supply pin.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first conductive region 141 can be used as a positive power supply pin, the second conductive region 142 can be used as a negative power supply pin, and the third conductive region 143 can be used as a signal line pin.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The second conductive region 142 surrounds the first conductive region 141, and the third conductive region 143 surrounds the second conductive region 142. The first conductive region 141, the second conductive region 142, and the third conductive region 143 are arranged from the inside to the outside, which can make the first conductive region 141, the second conductive region 142, and the third conductive region 143 more concentrated in the position of the bottom wall 140, which is beneficial to reducing the area of ​​the bottom wall 140.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The first conductive region 141 is located between the second conductive region 142 and the third conductive region 143, with the first conductive region 141 and the second conductive region 142 spaced apart, and the first conductive region 141 and the third conductive region 143 spaced apart. By arranging the first conductive region 141, the second conductive region 142, and the third conductive region 143 in a sequentially spaced manner, the insulation performance between the first conductive region 141, the second conductive region 142, and the third conductive region 143 can be improved.

[0061] In some embodiments, the connector can be fixed to the center console 12 of the vehicle 1. For example, the connector female 100 is fixed to the center console 12 of the vehicle 1, and the connector male adapter 200 is inserted into the connector female 100. The connector male adapter 200 can charge the electronic device 500. The electronic device 500 can be a mobile phone, camera, wireless charger, charging bracket, etc.

[0062] In some embodiments, the connector can be fixed to the roof 11 of the vehicle 1.

The connector male adapter 200 can charge the electronic device 500. The electronic device 500 can be a mobile phone, camera, dashcam, charging bracket, etc.

[0063] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8This application also provides a connector, which can be a connector adapter male 200. The side surface of the connector adapter male 200 is provided with a first external thread 210 and a second external thread 220. The first external thread 210 and the second external thread 220 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the connector. The first external thread 210 is used for threaded engagement with the connector female 100, and the second external thread 220 is used for threaded engagement with the connector female 100. Since the first external thread 210 and the second external thread 220 are spaced apart, there is a certain span between the first external thread 210 and the second external thread 220, which makes the span of threaded contact between the connector adapter male 200 and the connector female 100 longer, which is beneficial to improving the connection stability between the connector adapter male 200 and the connector female 100.

[0064] In the embodiments provided in this application, the male connector adapter 200 is inserted into the female connector socket 100, the first external thread 210 is engaged with the first internal thread 120, the second external thread 220 is engaged with the second internal thread 130, and the end 230 of the connector adapter extending into the female connector socket 100 contacts the bottom wall 140.

[0065] The diameter of the first external thread 210 is larger than the diameter of the second external thread 220, which facilitates the insertion of the connector adapter 200 into the connector socket 100 during the process of installing the connector adapter male 200 into the connector socket 100.

[0066] The first external thread 210 and the second external thread 220 share the same helical axis, which facilitates the insertion of the connector adapter male 200 into the connector female 100.

[0067] In the embodiments provided in this application, the male connector adapter 200 includes a rod portion 240. The rod portion 240 has a first protrusion 250 and a second protrusion 260 protruding radially outward. The first protrusion 250 and the second protrusion 260 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the rod portion 240. The first protrusion 250 has a first external thread 210 along its radial outer surface, and the second protrusion 260 has a second external thread 220 along its radial outer surface. By providing the spaced-apart first protrusion 250 and second protrusion 260 on the rod portion 240, a gap is formed between the first protrusion 250 and the second protrusion 260. During the process of installing the male connector adapter 200 to the female connector socket 100, the area between the first protrusion 250 and the second protrusion 260 will not interfere with the mating between the male connector adapter 200 and the female connector socket 100, thus facilitating the installation of the male connector adapter 200 into the female connector socket 100.

[0068] One end 230 of the rod 240 is used to extend into the connector female 100, and the second external thread 220 is located between the first external thread 210 and the end 230; the first external thread 210, the second external thread 220 and the end 230 are insulated from each other; one of the first external thread 210, the second external thread 220 and the end 230 is a positive power supply pin, another is a negative power supply pin, and yet another is a signal line pin.

[0069] In the embodiments provided in this application, the first external thread 210 and the second external thread 220 are used to mate with the connector female 100 for connection.
