Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a male coupling connector socket. [Background Technology]
[0002] Connectors are key components in electronic devices that enable the transmission of electrical energy and signals. As devices become increasingly high-power and high-density, the heat generated by connectors due to the Joule effect when carrying large currents is becoming increasingly prominent. The fixed ends of the pins, as critical nodes in the current path, are the main source of heat accumulation. If heat accumulation cannot be effectively dissipated, it will lead to connector performance degradation, accelerated aging, and even safety hazards.
[0003] In existing technologies, a common approach to solving heat dissipation problems is to add an external heatsink to the connector. However, this external structure not only increases component costs and assembly complexity but also enlarges the overall size of the connector. More importantly, the heatsink is separated from the core heat source (pin mounting end) by an insulating shell with poor thermal conductivity, resulting in a long heat conduction path, high thermal resistance, and low heat dissipation efficiency, making it difficult to meet the urgent needs of modern electronic devices for compact and efficient heat dissipation. [Utility Model Content]
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a male connector for coupling connectors, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where the heat dissipation structure of the connector is separated from the core heat source, the heat conduction path is long, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency and complex structure.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A coupling connector male socket includes a male socket body, a pin slot on one side of the male socket body, a mounting slot on the back side of the pin slot, a plurality of pins on the mounting slot, each pin including a pin body and a fixed end connected thereto, the fixed end being fixed in the mounting slot, and the pin body extending into and being accommodated in the pin slot, and a plurality of spaced heat sinks extending from one side of the mounting slot.
[0007] As described above, the male connector of the coupling connector has a first slot at one end of its body for the cable to pass through.
[0008] As described above, the male connector of the coupling connector has a process groove for concealing adhesive material coaxially opened in the first slot.
[0009] As described above, the male connector of the coupling connector also has an overflow groove on its body, which is adjacent to the first slot, for storing overflow adhesive material.
[0010] As described above, the male coupling connector has a second slot on one side of the heat sink for limiting the cable, and the second slot corresponds to the cable direction of the first slot.
[0011] As described above, in the coupling connector male socket, the first slot and the second slot are arranged non-collinearly.
[0012] According to the claim or the coupling connector male seat, the inner side of the second slot is provided with a clearance groove to facilitate the accommodation of the seal.
[0013] As described above, the male connector of the coupling connector has multiple fixing grooves on the side of the male connector body away from the heat sink for accommodating adhesive material.
[0014] As described above, the male connector of the coupling connector has a semi-circular cross-section for the first slot and the second slot.
[0015] As described above, the male connector of the coupling connector has a positioning baffle on one side of the male connector body perpendicular to the heat sink, and a positioning groove is provided between the positioning baffle and the heat sink to facilitate stable installation.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] This invention achieves a tight integration of the heat dissipation structure and the core heat source by extending the heat sink directly from one side of the mounting slot. Since the fixed end of the pins, as the main heat source, is fixed in the mounting slot, this design allows heat to be rapidly conducted to the heat sink along the shortest path and efficiently dissipated, greatly improving heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, this integrated structural design eliminates the additional components and assembly processes required by traditional external heat sinks, making the overall connector structure more compact and reducing production costs. It also fundamentally solves the problem of poor heat dissipation caused by long heat conduction paths and high thermal resistance in existing technologies, significantly improving the reliability and safety of the connector under high-current operating conditions.

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0024] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects clearer, this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0025] This embodiment provides a male coupling connector socket, which aims to solve the technical problems of insufficient heat dissipation performance, need to improve structural reliability, and low functional integration of existing connectors when operating at high current or high frequency.
[0026] Please see the appendix Figures 1 to 5 The male connector of this embodiment has a core structure including a male connector body 1. This male connector body 1 can be injection molded from high-temperature resistant, high-insulation engineering plastics such as PBT or LCP. On one side of the male connector body 1, specifically on its mating surface that mates with the corresponding female connector, a pin groove 11 is provided. This pin groove 11 provides space for accommodating and protecting the protruding portion of the pin 13. On the back side of the pin groove 11, i.e., away from the mating surface, a mounting groove 12 is provided. This mounting groove 12 provides a base for fixing and assembling the pin 13.
[0027] Multiple pins 13 are disposed on the mounting groove 12. Each pin 13 is made of a metal material with excellent conductivity and includes a pin body 131 and a fixed end 132 integrally connected thereto. In this embodiment, the fixed end 132 of the pin 13 is firmly fixed in the bottom or side wall of the mounting groove 12 by insert injection molding, thereby ensuring a stable mechanical connection and reliable electrical connection. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the fixed end 132 can also be fixed by interference fit, welding, or gluing. The pin body 131 of the pin 13 extends from the mounting groove 12 and is accommodated in the aforementioned pin slot 11 for electrical connection with the terminal of the female connector. This dual-slot structure design separates the pin fixing function from the insertion and protection function, resulting in a stable and reliable structure.
[0028] To improve the heat dissipation performance of the connector, multiple spaced heat sinks 14 are integrally extended from one side of the mounting groove 12, preferably along its length. These heat sinks 14 can be integrally injection molded with the male connector body 1, or made of a metal material with high thermal conductivity, such as copper alloy or aluminum alloy, or integrally molded with the male connector body 1 and then metallized. The spacing between the heat sinks 14 creates channels for air circulation, greatly increasing the heat exchange surface area between the connector and the surrounding environment. This allows for the efficient dissipation of the large amount of heat generated during high-current operation, ensuring the stability and safety of the connector operation.
[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the introduction and fixation of the cable, a first slot 15 is provided at one end of the male seat body 1 for the cable (not shown in the figure) to pass through.
[0030] Furthermore, to enhance the reliability of cable fixation and achieve sealing within the first slot 15, a process groove 151 for concealing adhesive material can be coaxially formed within the first slot 15. When the cable is fixed in the first slot 15 and adhesive material such as epoxy resin or silicone is injected, the process groove 151 can accommodate some of the adhesive material that overflows due to compression, preventing the adhesive material from contaminating the product appearance and ensuring the aesthetics and consistency of the assembly process.
[0031] Furthermore, as a supplementary safeguard to the aforementioned adhesive bonding process, an overflow groove 152 adjacent to the first slot 15 can also be provided on the male seat body 1. This overflow groove 152 is used to store adhesive material that accidentally overflows and exceeds the capacity of the process groove 151. As a second line of defense, it ensures that excess glue will not flow to other critical parts of the product, thereby improving the yield and reliability of mass production.
[0032] Furthermore, to provide superior mechanical fixation and stress relief for the cable, a second slot 16 is provided on one side of the heat sink 14. The position of this second slot 16 corresponds to the cable direction of the first slot 15 on the male connector body 1, thus forming a two-point cable support structure together with the first slot 15. The cable first passes through and is fixed in the first slot 15, then extends a certain distance before being confined again in the second slot 16.
[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the first slot 15 and the second slot 16 are arranged non-collinearly. This means that the cable will form a natural bend or turn in its path from the first slot 15 to the second slot 16. When the cable is subjected to external pulling or swaying, the stress will be effectively absorbed and buffered by this bend, thereby preventing stress from being directly transmitted to the fragile electrical connection points inside the connector, significantly enhancing the durability and reliability of the product.
[0034] Furthermore, as an optional implementation, to better accommodate cables that are typically circular, the cross-sections of both the first slot 15 and the second slot 16 are preferably semi-circular. This shape provides a larger contact and wrapping area for the cable, making it more securely fixed.
[0035] Furthermore, to achieve a high level of waterproof and dustproof sealing at the cable interface, a clearance groove 161 can be provided inside the second slot 16 to accommodate sealing components such as O-rings and rubber gaskets. When the sealing component is compressed to achieve a seal, its deformed portion can enter the clearance groove 161. This ensures the reliability of the seal and prevents damage to the sealing component due to excessive compression, thus extending its service life. The sealing component can be made of conventional elastic materials such as silicone rubber or ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM).
[0036] Furthermore, considering the installation and securing of the connector male body 1 itself, as an optional implementation, multiple retaining grooves 17 for accommodating adhesive material can be provided on the side of the male body 1 away from the heat sink 14, such as its bottom surface. When the connector male needs to be secured to the equipment housing or bracket by adhesive, these retaining grooves 17 can form a strong mechanical interlock with the cured adhesive, greatly enhancing the bonding strength and vibration resistance of the installation.
[0037] As an alternative installation and fixing method, a positioning baffle 18 can be provided on one side of the male connector body 1, perpendicular to the heat sink 14, such as its side. This positioning baffle 18 has a positioning groove 19 between it and the adjacent heat sink 14 to facilitate stable installation. This mortise-and-tenon-like structure can cooperate with corresponding protruding structures in electrical equipment to achieve quick and accurate blind insertion positioning, and provides strong mechanical locking, greatly simplifying the assembly process and improving the stability of the installation.
[0038] The above are implementation methods provided in conjunction with specific content, and it is not intended that the specific implementation of this application is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to those of this application, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this application, should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
