Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", "third", etc. can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figure 3-Figure 9 As shown, it is a bull horn connector of the present invention, 1. A bull horn connector, characterized in that it includes a main colloid 1, two hooks 2 respectively hinged at the two ends of the main colloid 1, and two limit members 3 respectively hinged at the two ends of the main colloid 1 for limiting the rotation of the hooks 2, and limit grooves 13 are provided at both ends of the main colloid 1.

[0033] The hook 2 is provided with an inserting portion 21 on the side facing the stopper 3 . The inserting portion 21 is provided with a through hole 211 penetrating the upper and lower surfaces thereof. The stopper 3 includes a main body 31 passing through the through hole 211 . A locking portion 32 is provided on the top of the main body 31 .

[0034] Among them, the main body 31 of the limiting member 3 is passed through the through hole 211 and inserted into the limiting groove 13, and the locking portion 32 abuts against the upper side of the plug-in portion 21 to limit the rotation of the hook 2, so that the hook 2 remains in a closed state. After the main body 31 exits the limiting groove 13, the hook 2 can be rotated into an unlocked state.

[0035] In this embodiment, the two hooks 2 include a first hook and a second hook, and the first hook and the second hook are symmetrically hinged at both ends of the main colloid 1. The two limiters 3 include a first limiter and a second limiter, and the two limiters 3 are arranged on the outer sides of the two hooks 2 in opposite directions. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first limiting member is arranged on the left side of the first hook, and the second limiting member is arranged on the right side of the second hook.

[0036] Combination Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the main colloid 1 is a long strip structure, which includes a slot body 11 , in which a male slot plate 4 and contact terminals 5 penetrating the male slot plate 4 are arranged.

[0037] Furthermore, hook grooves 12 are provided at both ends of the main colloid 1, and the hook 2 is hinged in the hook groove 12. The inner wall surface of the hook groove 12 is concave to form a limit groove 13. The limit groove 13 is a groove structure, which is used to guide the main body 31 and limit the main body 31 to prevent the main body 31 from being displaced and escaping from the plug-in part 21. The limit groove 13 can be a part of the hook groove 12, or it can be set independently. If it is set independently, the limit groove 13 can be connected with the hook groove 12 to form a accommodating space for the hook 2 to rotate. Of course, the limit groove 13 can also be not set, or it can be set as other limit structures, which is not specifically limited here.

[0038] The two ends of the main colloid 1 are respectively provided with hook grooves 12, which are arranged at the two ends of the length direction of the groove body 11, and positioning holes 121 are arranged on both sides of the hook groove 12, which are the two sides of the rotation direction of the hook 2.

[0039] Preferably, an opening is provided at the end of the hook groove 12, and the opening forms a movable space for the hook 2 to rotate. Further, a limit block 14 is provided at the bottom of the opening, and the limit block 14 is provided with a notch 141, and the notch 141 is a U-shaped structure, a C-shaped structure or a V-shaped structure. Of course, other structural forms can also be used, which are not specifically limited here. The notch 141 can be provided so that when the hook 2 is bent outward, the main colloid 1 has an elastic space to prevent the main colloid 1 from being torn.

[0040] Combination Fig. 9 As shown, positioning columns 22 are provided on the opposite sides of the hook 2 in the width direction. The sides here are the two sides in the rotation direction of the hook 2. The positioning columns 22 can be rotatably installed in the positioning hole 121. Of course, a rotating shaft structure can also be provided, which is not specifically limited here.

[0041] A limiting protrusion 23 is further provided on the opposite side of the hook 2 in the width direction. The limiting protrusion 23 abuts against the inner wall surface of the hook groove 12. The limiting protrusion 23 and the positioning column 22 are located on the same side. The limiting protrusion 23 can limit the rotation of the hook 2.

[0042] Combination Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the main body 31 and the locking portion 32 are both plate-like structures, and the main body 31 is provided with a through groove 311, or a through hole structure, which can be one or more. Providing the through groove 311 can reduce the manufacturing cost and reduce the overall weight of the limit member 3.

[0043] Preferably, a first limiting protrusion 312 is provided on the side surface in the width direction of the main body portion 31 to prevent the main body portion 31 from slipping out of the plug-in portion 21 .

[0044] Preferably, a second limiting protrusion 313 is provided on the side surface in the width direction of the main body 31, and the second limiting protrusion 313 is located between the locking portion 32 and the first limiting protrusion 312. The number and position of the first limiting protrusion 312 and the second limiting protrusion 313 can be adjusted appropriately according to needs, and are not specifically limited here.

[0045] Preferably, a clamping block 33 is provided on the side of the clamping portion 32 away from the clamping hook 2 , and the lower side of the clamping block 33 is an inclined surface. The lateral dimension of the clamping portion 32 is greater than the lateral dimension of the main body 31 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the limiting member 3 is an integrated structure, and can be a plastic member.

[0047] In this embodiment, the main body 31 of the limiting member 3 is passed through the through hole 211 and inserted into the limiting groove 13, and the stopping portion 32 abuts against the upper side surface of the plug-in portion 21 to limit the rotation of the hook 2, so that the hook 2 remains in a closed state (the hook 2 is locked with the groove of the female connector). After the main body 31 exits the limiting groove 13, the hook 2 can be rotated into an unlocked state, at which time the hook 2 can be pried open and rotated.

[0048] The horn connector is provided with a limiting member 3 to prevent the top of the hook 2 from being accidentally stressed and opened, thereby ensuring the stability of the closed state of the hook 2. The limiting member 3 has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost and good applicability.

[0049] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, the above technical features can be freely combined without departing from the concept of the present invention, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should belong to the coverage of the claims of the present invention.
