在組裝的步驟中，會先將連接器本體11的本體部111連結於纜線L。因纜線L繪製後會遮擋到其他技術特徵，故在組裝完成後，才會在圖式繪製出纜線L以利說明，如第七圖所示。In the assembly step, the main body portion 111 of the connector main body 11 is connected to the cable L first. Since the drawing of the cable L will cover other technical features, the cable L will be drawn in the diagram for illustration only after the assembly is completed, as shown in the seventh figure.

接著，會將連接器本體11容置於連接器本體容置空間S，並使連接器本體11的本體部111的一連接口對準連結孔H1。Next, the connector body 11 is accommodated in the connector body accommodating space S, and a connection port of the body portion 111 of the connector body 11 is aligned with the connection hole H1.

更詳細的說明，連結孔H1的形狀會對應本體部111、防呆部112與組裝抵頂件113。當連接器本體11容置於連接器本體容置空間S，並正確地組裝連結至前殼體121時，本體部111、防呆部112與組裝抵頂件113都會對準並限用以***連結孔H1。同時，組裝抵頂件113會抵頂組裝抵頂壁W1，而拆卸抵頂件114會抵頂拆卸抵頂壁W2，如第四圖所示。In more detail, the shape of the connecting hole H1 corresponds to the main body portion 111 , the foolproof portion 112 and the assembly abutting member 113 . When the connector body 11 is accommodated in the connector body accommodating space S and is correctly assembled and connected to the front housing 121, the body part 111, the fool-proof part 112 and the assembly abutting part 113 will be aligned and restricted for insertion.

接著，將後殼體122連結至前殼體121，藉以形成具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件1，如第一圖所示。更詳細地說明，後殼體122的殼體卡合件1222會對應地卡合至前殼體121的殼體卡合孔H3，藉以固定至前殼體121。此時，利用後殼體122的纜線限位孔H2限位纜線L，並供纜線L自連接器本體容置空間S經纜線限位孔H2延伸至連接器本體容置空間S外。Next, connect the rear shell 122 to the front shell 121 to form the connector assembly 1 with the cable limiting shell, as shown in the first figure. Described in more detail, the housing engaging member 1222 of the rear housing 122 is correspondingly engaged with the housing engaging hole H3 of the front housing 121 , so as to be fixed to the front housing 121 . At this time, the cable L is limited by the cable limiting hole H2 of the rear housing 122, and the cable L is extended from the accommodating space S of the connector body to the accommodating space S of the connector body through the cable limiting hole H2 outside.

最後，請一併參閱第二圖、第三圖與第五圖至第七圖，其中，第五圖係顯示具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件與機殼之分解圖；第六圖係顯示具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件組裝至機殼之立體圖；以及，第七圖係顯示外部風扇組件插接至具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件與機殼之立體圖。如圖所示，具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件1沿一第一方向D1組裝至一機殼C，並供一外接裝置插接，圖式的外接裝置繪製一外部風扇組件F示意。Finally, please refer to the second figure, the third figure and the fifth figure to the seventh figure together, among which, the fifth figure shows the exploded view of the connector assembly and the casing with the cable limiting housing; the sixth figure is a perspective view showing the assembly of the connector assembly with the cable limiting housing to the casing; and, the seventh figure is a perspective view showing the external fan assembly plugged into the connector assembly with the cable limiting casing and the casing. As shown in the figure, a connector assembly 1 with a cable-limiting housing is assembled to a casing C along a first direction D1, and is plugged into an external device. The external device in the figure is shown as an external fan assembly F .

當具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件1正確地組裝至機殼C時，上防呆凸塊1211係限用以***機殼C的一上防呆缺口G1，且下防呆凸塊1212係限用以***機殼C的一下防呆缺口G2。當具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件1錯誤地組裝機殼C時，例如：方向相反、位置不對等情形，上防呆凸塊1211會受到機殼C阻擋而無法***上防呆缺口G1，且下防呆凸塊1212也會受到機殼C阻擋而無法***下防呆缺口G2。也就是說，上防呆凸塊1211僅限於在具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件1正確地組裝至機殼C時，用以***上防呆缺口G1。下防呆凸塊1212亦相同。上防呆凸塊1211與下防呆凸塊1212的設計，可以避免錯誤地組裝，進而避免外部風扇組件F無法插接等問題。When the connector assembly 1 with the cable limiting housing is correctly assembled to the casing C, the upper foolproof projection 1211 is limited to insert into an upper foolproof gap G1 of the casing C, and the lower foolproof projection The 1212 series is limited to be inserted into the lower fool-proof gap G2 of the casing C. When the connector assembly 1 with the cable-limiting housing is wrongly assembled into the casing C, for example, the direction is reversed, the position is wrong, etc., the upper fool-proof protrusion 1211 will be blocked by the casing C and cannot be inserted into the upper fool-proof gap G1, and the lower fool-proof protrusion 1212 is also blocked by the casing C and cannot be inserted into the lower fool-proof gap G2. That is to say, the upper fool-proof protrusion 1211 is only used for inserting into the upper fool-proof gap G1 when the connector assembly 1 with the cable limiting housing is assembled to the casing C correctly. The lower fool-proof bump 1212 is also the same. The design of the upper fool-proof protrusion 1211 and the lower fool-proof protrusion 1212 can avoid wrong assembly, thereby avoiding the problem that the external fan assembly F cannot be inserted.

當具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件1正確地組裝至機殼C後，係利用鎖固元件13將前殼體121鎖固於機殼C上，如第六圖所示。在本發明其他實施例中，前殼體121也可包含至少一彈性卡合件，用以在組裝時受機殼C壓縮，並在組裝完成後，利用彈性恢復力而卡合進機殼C的至少一機殼卡合孔，藉以將前殼體121固定於機殼C上。實務上，彈性卡合件可以設置於上防呆凸塊1211的左右兩側。After the connector assembly 1 with the cable limiting housing is correctly assembled to the housing C, the front housing 121 is locked on the housing C by using the locking element 13 , as shown in FIG. 6 . In other embodiments of the present invention, the front case 121 may also include at least one elastic engaging member, which is used to be compressed by the casing C during assembly, and snap into the casing C by utilizing the elastic restoring force after the assembly is completed. There is at least one case engaging hole, so as to fix the front case 121 on the case C. In practice, the elastic engaging parts can be disposed on the left and right sides of the upper fool-proof protrusion 1211 .

最後，將一外接裝置插接至連接器本體11。更詳細地說明，外部風扇組件F會沿一組裝方向D2組裝至具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件1。當外部風扇組件F插接至連接器本體11後，組裝抵頂件113會抵頂著組裝抵頂壁W1，藉以止擋外部風扇組件F繼續沿組裝方向D2移動。Finally, plug an external device into the connector body 11 . In more detail, the external fan assembly F will be assembled to the connector assembly 1 with the cable limiting housing along an assembly direction D2. After the external fan assembly F is plugged into the connector body 11 , the assembly abutment member 113 will abut against the assembly abutment wall W1 , so as to stop the external fan assembly F from continuing to move along the assembly direction D2 .

當外部風扇組件F組裝至具有纜線限位殼體之連接器組件1後，便完成外接裝置安裝方法的所有步驟。此時，纜線L會受到後殼體122的纜線限位孔H2限位，且自連接器本體容置空間S經纜線限位孔H2延伸至連接器本體容置空間S外，如第七圖所示。After the external fan assembly F is assembled to the connector assembly 1 with the cable limiting housing, all steps of the external device installation method are completed. At this time, the cable L will be limited by the cable limiting hole H2 of the rear housing 122, and extend from the accommodating space S of the connector body through the cable limiting hole H2 to outside the accommodating space S of the connector body, as shown in FIG. Shown in the seventh figure.
