[0035] In order to explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the implementation methods and the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The present invention discloses a rotating electrical connector constituting a conductive rotor structure, a conductive rotor structure formed by the rotating electrical connector, and an electrically functional rotating ball formed by the conductive rotor structure. The electrically functional rotating ball can be used in a beauty stick, but is not limited thereto, that is, the conductive rotor structure can also be used in other electrically functional devices with a rotating structure.

[0037] Specific embodiment 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2, the rotating electrical connector A1 includes an insulating fixing seat A10 and an electrode A11 installed on the fixing seat A10. A first through hole A100 is provided on the fixing seat A10 so that the fixing seat A10 is annular in structure as a whole, and the fixing seat A10 can rotate around the axis of the first through hole A100. The electrode A11 includes two first contact parts A110 and two second contact parts A111 electrically connected to each other. The two first contact parts A110 are located in the vertical space where the first through hole A100 is located, and are relatively arranged on both sides of the rotation axis Z1 of the fixing seat A10. A rotation space A112 is defined between the two first contact parts A110. During the rotation of the fixing seat A10, the two first contact parts A110 are always in contact with the conductor located in the rotation space A112. The two second contact parts A111 protrude from the fixing seat A10. The two first contact parts A110 and the two second contact parts A111 in this embodiment are both parts of the same electrode A11.

[0038] In addition, if Fig. 9 The conductor used in conjunction with the rotating electrical connector A1 having the above structure is preferably a conductive column H, which is used as a conductive rotor structure A2 and a stator of an electrically functional rotating ball. The conductive column H is a coaxial hollow segmented electrical connection structure, including an input end H1 and an output end H2. The input end H1 is provided with a plurality of coaxially distributed connection terminals H10 at intervals along the axis extension direction of the conductive column H, and the output end H2 is provided with a plurality of conductive rings H20 at intervals along the axis extension direction of the conductive column H. Each conductive ring H20 is electrically connected to one of the connection terminals H10 of the input end H1. The conductive column H in this embodiment has three conductive rings H20, which can be used for the positive power supply terminal, the negative power supply terminal and the control terminal respectively. Of course, a conductive column H with more conductive rings H20 can also be used as needed.

[0039] In order to effectively improve the contact effect between the conductive column H and the electrode A11, the electrode A11 is an elastic structure, and the diameter of the rotating space A112 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the conductive column H, so that the two first contact parts A110 have an elastic contact force against the conductive column H. In this way, the contact effect between the two first contact parts A110 and the conductive column H can be effectively guaranteed, thereby ensuring the electrical connection effect of the rotating electrical connector A1.

[0040] In addition, in order to reduce the noise generated when the rotating electrical connector A1 rotates, the two first contact portions A111 have arc-shaped smooth contact surfaces.

[0041] More specifically, if Figure 2The fixing seat A10 includes a bottom plate A101 and a frame A102. A first groove A103 connected to the first through hole A100 is respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the first through hole A100 on the fixing seat A10. The first groove A103 is opened on the frame A102 and leads to the bottom plate A101. A mounting column A104 is respectively arranged in the two first grooves A103. The two ends of the electrode A11 are respectively fixed on the two mounting columns A104, and the two first contact portions A110 are respectively led out from the mounting columns A104 in opposite directions, so that the electrode A11 is more firmly fixed on the fixing seat A10. To simplify the structural setting, the two first grooves A103 are both open grooves that open to the outside of the frame A102, and part of the outer walls of the two mounting posts A104 protrude from the frame A102, so that the outer side of the electrode A11 wrapped around the mounting post A104 is used as the second contact portion A111, and the second contact portion A111 is used to transmit the electrical signal obtained by the first contact portion A110 from the conductive post H. When the conductive post H is inserted into the first through hole A100 on the fixed seat A10, the conductive ring H20 of the conductive post H is just located in the rotation space A112 between the two first contact portions A110. At this time, the two first contact portions A110 are respectively in contact with the opposite sides of the conductive ring H20. During the rotation of the fixed seat A10, the two first contact portions A110 rotate around the conductive ring H20. As long as one of the two first contact portions A110 contacts the conductive ring H20, the electrical signal can be obtained from any of the two second contact portions A111, thereby effectively ensuring the stable transmission of the electrical signal.

[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 1 An insulating cover plate A12 may also be provided on the frame A102 to prevent the electrode A11 from sliding out of the fixing seat A10. The cover plate is provided with an opening portion A120 corresponding to the first through hole A100, and the cover plate is snap-fitted and connected with the frame A102.

A first through hole B100 is provided on the fixed seat B10, so that the fixed seat B10 is annular in structure as a whole, and the fixed seat B10 can rotate relative to the axis of the first through hole B100. The electrode B11 includes two first contact parts B110 and a second contact part B111 that are electrically connected to each other. The two first contact parts B110 are located in the vertical space where the first through hole B100 is located, and are relatively arranged on both sides of the rotation axis Z2 of the fixed seat B10. A rotation space B112 is defined between the two first contact parts B110. During the rotation of the fixed seat B10, the two first contact parts B110 are always in contact with the conductor located in the rotation space B112. The second contact part B111 protrudes from the fixed seat B10. For the fixed installation of the electrode B11 in this embodiment, the same groove structure as that in the first embodiment is adopted, that is, a first groove B101 connected to the first through hole B100 is respectively provided on the opposite sides of the first through hole B100 on the fixing seat B10, and a mounting post B102 is respectively provided in the two first grooves B101, and the two ends of the electrode B11 are respectively fixed on the two mounting posts B102, and the two first contact portions B110 are respectively led out from the mounting posts B102 in opposite directions. Different from the first embodiment, in this embodiment, no frame is provided on the fixing seat B10, and a second groove B103 is provided between the two first grooves B101 on the fixing seat B10, and the second contact portion B111 is formed by bending the part of the electrode B11 connected between the two first contact portions B110 and protruding out of the second groove B103.

[0044] In order to effectively improve the contact effect between the conductive column H and the electrode B11, the electrode B11 is an elastic structure, and the diameter of the rotating space B112 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the conductive column H, so that the two first contact parts B110 have an elastic contact force against the conductive column H, so that the contact effect between the two first contact parts B110 and the conductive column H can be effectively guaranteed, thereby ensuring the electrical connection effect of the rotating electrical connector B1. In addition, in order to reduce the noise when the rotating electrical connector B1 rotates, the two first contact parts B110 have a smooth arc-shaped contact surface.

In addition, a third through hole B202 is opened on the base B200.
