Automatically aligned connector assembly

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatically aligned connector assembly. The automatically aligned connector assembly comprises a socket end and a plug end; a magnet is arranged in the socket end; the magnet is at least provided with an N pole and an S pole on an abutting joint surface; a magnet is arranged in the plug end; the magnet is at least provided with an N pole and an S pole on the abutting joint surface; the magnet in the socket end and the magnet in the plug end have the same number of N poles and S poles; the N pole of the magnet in the socket end corresponds to the S pole of the magnet in the plug end; and the S pole of the magnet in the socket end corresponds to the N pole of the magnet in the plug end. According to the invention, one plane magnet at the same end is made into a structure commonly composed of the N pole and the S pole; the other end is made into the corresponding S pole and the corresponding N pole; if the direciotn is wrong, the two ends can automatically turn directions while closing to each other due to like-pole repelling and opposite attract principles, such that the two ends can be automatically in abutting joint very precisely; and thus, effective electric connection is formed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrical connector products, in particular to an interface structure such as a USB connector for a charging interface, a data interface, and the like used in products such as computers, household appliances, mobile phones, and digital electronic products. Background technique [0002] Power or data interfaces such as USB connectors are used in many electronic products. This type of interface can only be inserted when the direction and position are correct. If it is reversed, it cannot be inserted. For example, in dimly lit or dark environments, It is difficult to quickly and accurately insert the plug in a bumpy environment such as riding in a car or on a ship, which brings inconvenience to the user and is likely to cause wear or even damage to the connector during multiple insertions. In order to solve the above problems, some people have introduced magnets to assist alignment. For example, Apple has a...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] Power or data interfaces such as USB connectors are used in many electronic products. Such interfaces can only be inserted in the correct direction and position. If they are reversed, they cannot be inserted. For example, in dimly lit or dark environments, It is difficult to quickly and accurately insert the plug in a bumpy environment such as riding in a car or on a ship, which brings inconvenience to the user, and it is also easy to cause wear and tear on the connector during multiple plugging processes

In order to solve the above problems, some people have introduced magnets to assist alignment. For example, Apple has adopted a technical solution where the interface has magnets and the data line is an iron sheet. Although the interface can be easily found, it still cannot be inserted if it is inserted backwards, and the direction needs to be manually identified.

Therefore, it cannot be positioned accurately, and needs a groove to match the positioning, so it is not convenient enough to use, and has not achieved revolutionary progress.

There are also magnets on the interface end and the data line end, which also have similar shortcomings.
