Floating connector

Abstract

The invention relates to a floating connector. A structure of the floating connector comprises an outer connector casing, an inner floating casing, an arc sleeve and a connection member, wherein an outer side of a tail portion of the inner floating casing is a spherical structure, an end face of the tail portion of the inner floating casing is provided with symmetrical straight slots in a radial direction, an inner side of the arc sleeve is a spherical inner wall which is in matching with an outer spherical structure of the tail portion of the inner floating casing, mutual rotation can be realized, the connection member penetrates through the outer connector casing and is plugged in the straight slots of the inner floating casing, elastic members with different heights at two ends are arranged between the outer connector casing and the inner floating casing, and an axial line of the inner floating casing and an axial line of the outer connector casing have a deflection angle and are superposed when rotation to a certain angle is realized. According to the floating connector, a spherical angle rotation structure is utilized, blind plugging requirements for two angle-rotation abut panels are effectively satisfied, when the panels are mounted and dimension deviation occurs in a product, position correction of one floating end can be carried out automatically, and thereby smooth plugging of a fixedly-mounted plug or socket can be realized.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a connector, in particular to a floating connector. technical background

[0002] The connector is composed of two connectors that can be plugged and connected. The most commonly used connector is composed of two connectors, a plug and a socket. The plug is generally not fixed at the free end, while the socket is fixed. However, in some special occasions, the plug and socket must be fixedly installed on the panel, and the connector needs to be driven by the installation panel to insert the plug or socket with the other end when mating. Due to the size deviation of the installation panel and the product, it is difficult for the plug and socket fixedly installed on the panel to be mated smoothly. Therefore, there must be a certain amount of floating at one end of the plug or socket of the connector. When the plug and socket are docked, the floating end It can automatically perform position correction, so that it can be mated sm...
