技术领域Technical Field
本申请涉及连接器组件技术领域,尤其涉及一种车载数据连接器组件。The present application relates to the technical field of connector components, and in particular, to a vehicle-mounted data connector component.

The rapid development of product technology in its supporting fields and the rapid growth of the market have strongly promoted the development of connector technology. So far, electrical connectors have developed into serialized and specialized products with complete product categories, various specifications and models, diverse structures, and standard system specifications. Among them, the FAKRA connector is a standard connector in the automotive electronics industry well-known to those skilled in the field. In order to meet the versatility requirements of applications, the plug-in interface of the FAKRA connector is standardized.
目前,现有FAKRA连接器在对其内部的端子组件进行固定时,一般会采用弹性结构如金属弹片、塑料锁舌来实现,为了提升连接的可靠性,有的连接器会通过在胶座上插入TPA(即端子止退件,Terminal Position Assurance)压住接线端子,以解决接线端子易松动、易后退的问题,但是,现有FAKRA连接器在设计时,往往不会将两种固定方式组合进行使用,而且,现有的TPA件在对端子组件进行固定时不具有预装位置,即不会对装入的端子组件进行初步的定位,导致组装效率慢,安装精度不高,甚至会在TPA件插入时由于操作不当造成TPA件的损坏。At present, the existing FAKRA connector generally adopts elastic structures such as metal springs and plastic lock tongues to fix the terminal components inside. In order to improve the reliability of the connection, some connectors will press the terminal by inserting TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) on the rubber seat to solve the problem that the terminal is easy to loosen and retreat. However, the existing FAKRA connector is often not designed to combine the two fixing methods. Moreover, the existing TPA parts do not have a pre-installed position when fixing the terminal components, that is, they will not perform preliminary positioning of the installed terminal components, resulting in slow assembly efficiency and low installation accuracy, and even damage to the TPA parts due to improper operation when the TPA parts are inserted.

目前,现有FAKRA连接器在对其内部的端子组件进行固定时,一般会采用弹性结构如金属弹片、塑料锁舌来实现,为了提升连接的可靠性,有的连接器会通过在胶座上插入TPA(即端子止退件)压住接线端子,以解决接线端子易松动、易后退的问题,但是,现有FAKRA连接器在设计时,往往不会将两种固定方式组合进行使用,而且,现有的TPA件在对端子组件进行固定时不具有预装位置,即不会对装入的端子组件进行初步的定位,导致组装效率慢,安装精度不高。At present, when existing FAKRA connectors fix their internal terminal components, they generally use elastic structures such as metal shrapnel and plastic lock tongues. In order to improve the reliability of the connection, some connectors are fixed on the rubber base. Insert TPA (terminal stopper) to press the terminals to solve the problem that the terminals are easy to loosen and retreat. However, when designing existing FAKRA connectors, the two fixing methods are often not used in combination, and , the existing TPA parts do not have a pre-assembly position when fixing the terminal assembly, that is, there is no preliminary positioning of the installed terminal assembly, resulting in slow assembly efficiency and low installation accuracy.

本实施例中,两个凸起部412分别为第一凸起部4121和第二凸起部4122,两者之间形成转换槽413,该转换槽413与卡接梁414的形状相匹配,此处需要说明的是,为了便于第一凸起部4121和第二凸起部4122沿卡接梁414滑入转换孔411,可以对卡接梁414的形状进行调整,比如可以将其与第一凸起部4121和第二凸起部4122相配合的一侧顶部设置为具有一定倾角的斜面,具体请参阅图7中的引导斜面4141;当第一凸起部4121滑过卡接梁414并进入转换孔411后,其与第二凸起部4122将卡接梁414卡设在其内侧的转换槽413,TPA件50进入预装位置;当第一凸起部4121和第二凸起部4122共同滑过卡接梁414并进入转换孔411后,此时,第二卡扣组件42的凸起和凹槽结构恰好实现配合连接,TPA件50进入固定位置,从而实现对端子组件20进行固定。TPA件50部分插入护套10时,TPA件50与护套10的配合示意图请参阅图6;TPA件50完全插入护套10时,TPA件50与护套10的配合示意图请参阅图7。In this embodiment, the two protruding parts 412 are respectively the first protruding part 4121 and the second protruding part 4122, and a conversion groove 413 is formed between them. The conversion groove 413 matches the shape of the clamping beam 414. It should be noted here that in order to facilitate the first protruding part 4121 and the second protruding part 4122 to slide into the conversion hole 411 along the clamping beam 414, the shape of the clamping beam 414 can be adjusted, for example, it can be combined with the third protruding part 4121. The top of the matching side of the first protruding part 4121 and the second protruding part 4122 is set as a slope with a certain inclination. For details, please refer to the guide slope 4141 in Figure 7; when the first protruding part 4121 slides over the clamping beam 414 After entering the conversion hole 411, it and the second protrusion 4122 lock the clamping beam 414 in the conversion groove 413 on its inside, and the TPA component 50 enters the pre-assembly position; when the first protrusion 4121 and the second protrusion After the two parts 4122 slide together through the clamping beam 414 and enter the conversion hole 411, at this time, the protrusion and groove structure of the second buckle component 42 just realize the matching connection, and the TPA component 50 enters the fixed position, thereby realizing the connection of the terminal assembly 20 To fix. When the TPA piece 50 is partially inserted into the sheath 10, please refer to Figure 6 for a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the TPA piece 50 and the sheath 10; when the TPA piece 50 is fully inserted into the sheath 10, please refer to Figure 7 for a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the TPA piece 50 and the sheath 10.
在一实施方式中,如图4和图5所示,连接部502由两个对称设置的卡爪5021组成,每一卡爪5021的内壁均具有连续设置的导向区域5022、定位区域5023和固定区域5024,当位于最下方的凸起部412进入转换孔411后,定位区域5023卡设在端子组件20的外侧;当所有凸起部412共同进入转换孔411后,固定区域5024压设在端子组件20的外侧。In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the connecting portion 502 is composed of two symmetrically arranged claws 5021. The inner wall of each claw 5021 has a continuously arranged guide area 5022, a positioning area 5023 and a fixed area. Area 5024, when the lowermost protruding portion 412 enters the conversion hole 411, the positioning area 5023 is stuck on the outside of the terminal assembly 20; when all the protruding portions 412 enter the conversion hole 411 together, the fixing area 5024 is pressed on the terminal outside of assembly 20.
其中,导向区域5022用于引导TPA件50插入护套10,定位区域5023在TPA件50部分插入护套10后,对装入的端子组件20进行定位;当端子组件20装入完成后,将TPA件 50全部插入护套10,通过固定区域5024对端子组件20进行固定。The guide area 5022 is used to guide the TPA component 50 to be inserted into the sheath 10, and the positioning area 5023 is used to position the installed terminal assembly 20 after the TPA component 50 is partially inserted into the sheath 10; 50 is fully inserted into the sheath 10, and the terminal assembly 20 is fixed through the fixing area 5024.
本实施例为了提升插入TPA件50时的流畅度,将导向区域5022、定位区域5023和固定区域5024设置为连续分布的弧形;为了提升定位及固定效果,可以将三者的曲率设置为依次增大。In this embodiment, in order to improve the smoothness when inserting the TPA piece 50, the guide area 5022, the positioning area 5023 and the fixing area 5024 are set as continuously distributed arc shapes; in order to improve the positioning and fixing effects, the curvatures of the three can be set in order increase.
由于端子组件20的外径沿轴向是不断变化的,所以为了保证安装精度,并防止定位区域5023与端子组件20之间产生干涉,可以设置多个凸起部412,并通过对位于上方的多个凸起部412之间进行切换,便于端子组件20的插入,防止产生干涉。Since the outer diameter of the terminal assembly 20 constantly changes along the axial direction, in order to ensure the installation accuracy and prevent interference between the positioning area 5023 and the terminal assembly 20, multiple protrusions 412 can be provided and aligned with the upper ones. Switching between the plurality of protrusions 412 facilitates the insertion of the terminal assembly 20 and prevents interference.
而如果设置多个凸起部412,定位区域5023只设置一段的话,定位区域5023与端子组件20顶部之间的间隙较大,安装精度无法得到有效保证,因此,为了实现较好的定位效果及安装精度,也设置多段定位区域5023,多段定位区域5023均呈弧形且曲率依次增大,具体在实施时,定位区域5023的段数不多于凸起部412的个数,且多段定位区域5023与多个凸起部412之间相对应设置,比如,可以设置为2个或1个凸起部412对应一段定位区域5023,从而通过切换不同的凸起部412进入转换孔411,即可实现调节定位区域5023与端子组件20顶部之间间隙的目的,并且,即使在端子组件20局部与连接部502产生干涉时,也可以快速的进行调节,直到端子组件20装入完成后,所有凸起部412共同进入转换孔411,第二卡扣组件42的凸起和凹槽结构配合连接,TPA件50实现对端子组件20的固定,图11为设置两段定位区域5023时定位区域的分布示意图。此处,为了达到最佳的使用效果,定位区域5023的段数与凸起部412的个数相同,且多段定位区域5023与多个凸起部412之间一一对应设置。If multiple protrusions 412 are provided and only one section of the positioning area 5023 is provided, the gap between the positioning area 5023 and the top of the terminal assembly 20 will be large, and the installation accuracy cannot be effectively guaranteed. Therefore, in order to achieve better positioning effect and For installation accuracy, a multi-segment positioning area 5023 is also provided. The multi-segment positioning area 5023 is arc-shaped and the curvature increases sequentially. During implementation, the number of segments of the positioning area 5023 is no more than the number of the protrusions 412, and the multi-segment positioning area 5023 Multiple protrusions 412 are provided correspondingly. For example, two or one protrusion 412 can be set to correspond to a section of the positioning area 5023. This can be achieved by switching different protrusions 412 into the conversion hole 411. The purpose of adjusting the gap between the positioning area 5023 and the top of the terminal assembly 20 is that even when the terminal assembly 20 partially interferes with the connecting portion 502, the adjustment can be made quickly until all the protrusions are removed after the installation of the terminal assembly 20 is completed. The two parts 412 enter the conversion hole 411 together, and the protrusions and groove structures of the second buckle component 42 are matched and connected. The TPA component 50 realizes the fixation of the terminal assembly 20. Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of the distribution of the positioning areas when two sections of positioning areas 5023 are provided. . Here, in order to achieve the best use effect, the number of segments of the positioning region 5023 is the same as the number of the protrusions 412 , and the multiple positioning regions 5023 and the plurality of protrusions 412 are provided in one-to-one correspondence.
