Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to an improved connector structure. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component in electronic devices that enables electrical connections and signal transmission, the performance of connectors directly affects the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0003] Traditional connectors come in various types, such as circular connectors, rectangular connectors, and strip connectors. Their basic structure usually consists of a plug (male end) and a socket (female end). The plug part contains pins that are connected to the wires by soldering or crimping. The socket part has a socket to receive the pins and achieve electrical connection.

[0004] In practical use, the contact resistance between the pins and sockets of traditional connectors is easily affected by environmental factors such as vibration, temperature changes, and humidity, which can lead to relative displacement between the pins and sockets, causing wear and oxidation at the contact interface. This reduces the reliability of the connection and can cause faults such as signal transmission interruption or instability. At the same time, mechanical friction during the insertion and removal process can cause wear on the surface of the contact parts. As the number of insertion and removal cycles increases, the wear intensifies, the contact performance gradually declines, and eventually fails to meet the requirements for normal operation.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved connector structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an improved connector structure that enables the pins to have stable contact pressure, ensuring a stable connection between the pins and the slot, and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an improved connector structure, including a socket and a plug:

[0008] The socket has an internal groove, and the plug has a curved pin installed inside.

[0009] The inner groove is equipped with four sets of elastic contacts arranged in a ring around the center line of the inner groove. The four sets of elastic contacts form a ring slot, and the curved pin is inserted into the inside of the ring slot.

[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the socket is provided with a guide groove, and a ball bearing is limited and rolled on the opposite side of the guide groove. A guide rail is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the plug. The outer surface of the guide rail is movably connected to the inside of the guide groove. Side grooves are provided on both sides of the guide rail, and the inside of the side grooves is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the ball bearing.

[0011] Preferably, the socket has slots on both sides, and the lower ends of the plug are fixedly connected to L-shaped blocks on both sides, with the outer surface of the end of the L-shaped block engaging with the inside of the slot.

[0012] Preferably, the curved pins are provided in four sets, and the four sets of curved pins are matched with the annular slots.

[0013] Preferably, the guide groove is provided in four sets, and the four sets of guide grooves are adapted to be equipped with four sets of guide rails.

[0014] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the guide groove is provided with multiple sets of balls, and the multiple sets of balls are evenly arranged.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In this improved connector structure, when the socket and plug are connected, a set of curved pins inside the plug inserts into an annular slot composed of four sets of elastic contacts. The elasticity of the contacts ensures a tight fit between the inner surface of the elastic contacts and the outer surface of the curved pins. Simultaneously, a guide rail inside the plug slides into a guide groove, and ball bearings on the opposite side of the guide groove roll into side grooves on both sides of the guide rail, ensuring stability during socket and plug mating. When the socket and plug are fully mated, L-shaped locking blocks on both sides of the plug end engage with the locking slots, completing the connection. The plug connection, with its unique structure, effectively enhances the stability of the socket and plug connection. It changes the existing sliding connection to a rolling connection, improving the smoothness of the connection and making connection or separation easier. The guide rail connection guides the connection path, preventing damage to the curved pins due to improper angles. The use of a new type of curved pin and an annular slot composed of elastic contacts ensures stable contact pressure, increases the contact area, effectively reduces contact resistance, and provides some adaptability to pin insertion angle deviations, thus improving the connection's fault tolerance.

[0030] When making a connection, a set of curved pins 210 inside the plug 2 are inserted into the annular slot 130 composed of four sets of elastic contacts 140. Through the elastic action of the elastic contacts 140, the inner side of the elastic contacts 140 is tightly fitted with the outer surface of the curved pins 210.

[0031] The elastic contact 140 is made of beryllium copper alloy, which has high conductivity, high elasticity and wear resistance.

[0032] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the outer surface of the socket 1 is provided with a guide groove 110, and the opposite side of the guide groove 110 is limited by rolling balls 111.
