Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of connector technology, and more particularly to a connector assembly and electronic device capable of supporting slow hot-plugging or disconnection. Background Technology

[0002] Connector assemblies are widely used in various types of circuits to enable or disable current flow. For example, a connector assembly may include male and female connectors. When the male and female connectors are plugged in, the circuit is made conductive, allowing current to flow. When the male and female connectors are disconnected, the circuit is disabled, blocking current flow. In some applications, when the voltage in the circuit is high, arcing may occur during hot-plugging (i.e., plugging and unplugging while the circuit is powered on). If the arc lasts for a long time, it may cause damage such as burning. Therefore, during operation, the male and female connectors need to be plugged in or unplugged at a relatively fast speed (e.g., above 2 m / s) to minimize the duration of the arc. However, in actual operation, it may not be possible to move the male or female connectors quickly enough for rapid plugging or unplugging. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a connector assembly that can reduce the duration of the electric arc when hot-plugging or unplugging the male and female connectors at slower speeds. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a connector assembly and electronic device capable of supporting slow hot-plugging or unplugging.

[0004] On one hand, this application provides a connector assembly, including a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first housing and a first conductive terminal, the first conductive terminal being fixedly connected to the first housing. The second connector includes a fixing component, a first moving component, and a second moving component. The fixing component includes the second conductive terminal. The first moving component includes a first sliding terminal and a first limiting component. The first sliding terminal is slidably connected to the second conductive terminal, and the first limiting component is fixedly connected to the first sliding terminal. The second connector also includes a first energy storage element, which is connected to the fixing component and the first moving component. During the docking process between the first and second connectors, when the first limiting component is relatively fixed to the first housing, the fixing component and the first moving component slide relative to each other, causing the first energy storage element to generate a stored deformation; when the first limiting component is released from relative fixation to the first housing, the first energy storage element recovers its deformation, driving the second sliding terminal to dock with the first conductive terminal. The second moving component includes a second sliding terminal and a second limiting component. The second sliding terminal is slidably connected to the second sliding terminal, and the second limiting component is fixedly connected to the second sliding terminal. The second connector also includes a second energy storage element, which is connected to both the first and second moving components.

[0005] Alternatively, during the separation of the first connector and the second connector, when the second limiting component is relatively fixed to the first housing, the first moving component and the second moving component slide relative to each other to cause the second energy storage component to generate energy storage deformation; when the second limiting component is released from relative fixation to the first housing, the second energy storage component restores its deformation to drive the second sliding terminal to separate from the first conductive terminal.

[0006] In the connector assembly provided in this application, during the docking process of the first connector and the second connector, when the first limiting component is relatively fixed to the first housing, an external force acting on the fixed component causes relative displacement between the fixed component and the first moving component, which in turn causes the first energy storage member to generate a stored deformation. When the first limiting component is released from relative fixation with the first housing, the first energy storage member can recover its deformation and drive the first and second moving components to move, thereby docking the second sliding terminal with the first conductive terminal. During the separation process of the first connector and the second connector, when the second limiting component is relatively fixed to the first housing, an external force acting on the fixed component causes the fixed component to drive the first moving component, resulting in relative displacement between the first and second moving components, which in turn causes the second energy storage member to generate a stored deformation. When the second limiting component is released from relative fixation with the first housing, the second energy storage member can recover its deformation and drive the second moving component to move, thereby separating the second sliding terminal from the first conductive terminal.

[0007] Alternatively, it can be understood that when an external force (such as a human hand) acts on the second housing to move the second connector in the first direction for docking with the first connector, the first and second moving components stop moving after the first limiting component is relatively fixed to the first housing. As the second housing continues to move in the first direction, a relative displacement occurs between the fixing component and the first moving component, causing the first energy storage member to undergo energy storage deformation. When the relative fixation between the first limiting component and the first housing is released, the first and second moving components can move in the first direction. Furthermore, under the force of the first energy storage member recovering its deformation, the first energy storage member can drive the first and second moving components to move rapidly in the first direction, enabling the second sliding terminal to dock with the first conductive terminal at a faster speed, thereby effectively reducing the duration of the electric arc. Correspondingly, when an external force (such as a human hand) acts on the second housing to move the second connector in the second direction for separation from the first connector, the second moving component stops moving after the second limiting component is relatively fixed to the first housing, and at this time, the first conductive terminal and the second sliding terminal are in a docked state. As the fixed component continues to move in the second direction, it drives the first moving component to move together, causing a relative displacement between the first and second moving components. This allows the second energy storage component to generate energy storage deformation. After the relative fixation between the second limiting component and the first housing is released, the second moving component can move in the second direction. Furthermore, under the force of the second energy storage component recovering its deformation, the second energy storage component can drive the second moving component to move rapidly in the second direction, enabling the second sliding terminal to separate from the first conductive terminal at a faster speed, thereby effectively reducing the duration of the electric arc.

[0008] During the process of the second connector moving along the first direction and docking with the second connector, when the fixing component moves to a certain position, the first limiting component is relatively fixed with the first housing; when the fixing component continues to move along the first direction, the first energy storage component generates energy storage deformation, and the fixing component acts on the first limiting component, causing the first limiting component to release the relative fixation with the first housing; under the restoring deformation force of the first energy storage component, the second sliding terminal docks with the first conductive terminal.

[0009] Alternatively, it can be understood that in the embodiments provided in this application, when the first connector and the second connector are docked, the first energy storage component can be charged and released throughout the docking process, thereby enabling the second sliding terminal to reliably dock with the first conductive terminal at a relatively fast speed. Furthermore, this process does not rely on the speed of human hand movement, thus facilitating practical operation.

[0010] Furthermore, during the separation of the second connector from the first housing along the second direction, the second limiting component remains relatively fixed to the first housing. As the fixing component drives the first moving component to continue moving along the second direction, the second accumulating element generates accumulating deformation. The first moving component then acts on the second limiting component, releasing the relative fixation between the second limiting component and the first housing. Under the restoring deformation force of the second accumulating element, the second sliding terminal separates from the first conductive terminal.

[0011] Alternatively, it can be understood that in the embodiments provided in this application, when separating the first connector and the second connector, the second energy storage component can be charged and released throughout the separation process, thereby enabling the second sliding terminal to reliably separate from the first conductive terminal at a relatively fast speed. Furthermore, this process does not depend on the speed of human hand movement, thus facilitating operation.

[0012] In one implementation, the second conductive terminal may have a first groove oriented in a first direction. The end of the first sliding terminal facing a second direction is slidably inserted into the first groove, thereby achieving a sliding connection between the second conductive terminal and the first sliding terminal.

[0013] In one specific embodiment, one end of the second sliding terminal may have a second groove arranged in a second direction, and the end of the first sliding terminal facing the first direction is slidably inserted into the second groove, thereby realizing a sliding connection between the first sliding terminal and the second sliding terminal, so that the first sliding terminal can slide relative to the second sliding terminal in the first direction or the second direction.

[0014] In some implementations, the second connector may further include a first base and a second housing, with the first base fixedly connected to the second housing and the second conductive terminal fixedly connected to the second housing. The second housing may be provided with a third sliding groove arranged parallel to the first direction, and the first base is slidably disposed in the third sliding groove, with one end of the first energy storage member connected to the first base and the other end connected to the second housing.

[0015] In some implementations, the second connector may also include a second base. The second base is fixedly connected to the first base. The second base has a slide cylinder arranged parallel to the first direction, and a second sliding terminal is slidably disposed within the slide cylinder. When the second sliding terminal slides along the first or second direction, the sliding engagement between the second sliding terminal and the slide cylinder effectively improves the stability of the second sliding terminal during sliding.

[0016] In addition, in practical applications, the structure and setting of the first limit component can be varied.

[0017] For example, the first limiting component may include a first latch and a first spring. The first latch is rotatably connected to a first base, and the first spring is connected to both the first latch and the first base. The first housing has a first abutment surface disposed in a second direction, wherein the first spring is used to rotate the first latch to a position that abuts against the first abutment surface, or, this position may also be understood as a first locking position. When the first moving component continues to move in the first direction and the first latch is in the first locking position, it can abut against the first abutment surface, thereby preventing the first limiting component from moving in the first direction. When the second housing continues to move in the first direction, a relative sliding action can occur between the fixing component and the first moving component, thereby causing the first energy storage member to undergo energy storage deformation.

[0018] Under external force, the first latch is in a position where it can still rotate to a position where it cannot abut against the first abutment surface, or this position can be understood as the first unlocked position. That is, parallel to the first direction, the projection of the first latch on the first housing does not intersect with the first abutment surface. When the first latch rotates to the first unlocked position, since it is not blocked by the first abutment surface, the elastic force of the first energy storage member can drive the first motion component and the second motion component to slide along the first direction, so that the second sliding terminal can connect with the first conductive terminal at a relatively fast speed.

[0019] In practical implementation, to change the first latch from the first locked position to the first unlocked position, a corresponding first trigger part can be provided in the fixing component. For example, in one implementation provided in this application, the second housing has a first trigger part. When the fixing component moves to the second docking position, the first trigger part acts on the first latch, causing the first latch to rotate to the first unlocked position, so that the first latch is released from relative fixation with the first abutment surface.

[0020] In addition, in some implementations, the structure and setting of the second limit component can also be diverse.

[0021] For example, the second limiting component may include a bracket, a second latch, and a second spring. The second latch is slidably connected to the bracket. The second spring is connected to the second latch and the bracket, and is used to slide the second latch to a second locking position. The first housing has a second abutment surface disposed in a first direction. The second locking position refers to the position where the second latch abuts against the second abutment surface.

[0022] Under external force, the second latch can slide to a position where it cannot abut against the second abutment surface. Alternatively, this position can be understood as the second unlocking position. That is, parallel to the first direction, the projection of the second latch on the first housing does not intersect with the second abutment surface. When the second latch slides to the second unlocking position, since it is not blocked by the second abutment surface, the elastic force of the second accumulator can drive the second motion component to slide along the second direction, so that the second sliding terminal can separate from the first conductive terminal at a faster speed.

[0023] In practical implementation, to change the second latch from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, a corresponding second trigger part can be provided in the first moving component. For example, in one implementation provided in this application, the first base has a second trigger part. When the fixing component acts on the first moving component to move to the second separation position, the second trigger part acts on the second latch, causing the second latch to slide to the second unlocked position, so that the second latch is released from relative fixation with the second abutment surface.

[0024] Furthermore, during the separation of the first connector and the second connector, in order to enable the first moving component to move along the second direction following the fixed component, in one implementation provided in this application, the second housing has a first protrusion, and the first base has a second protrusion. When the second housing moves along the second direction, the first protrusion abuts against the second protrusion, so that the second housing drives the first base to move along the second direction.

[0025] In practice, the shape of the first shell can be varied.

[0026] For example, the first housing may have a first groove that opens in a second direction. One end of the first conductive terminal is located in the first groove, thereby providing good protection for the first conductive terminal.

[0027] Furthermore, when the first conductive terminal and the sliding terminal mate or separate, generating an electric arc, the arc may appear within the first groove. Therefore, to prevent the first housing from being ablated, a ceramic layer or other high-temperature resistant material can be provided on the sidewall of the first groove.

[0028] In addition, the first housing may also have a second groove that opens in the second direction. When the first connector and the second connector are mated, the end of the first base facing the first direction can be inserted into the second groove to achieve a tight mating between the first connector and the second connector, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0029] On the other hand, this application also provides an electronic device, including a first power-consuming device and a second power-consuming device, as well as any of the aforementioned connector assemblies. The first connector is connected to the first power-consuming device, and the second connector is connected to the second power-consuming device. Specifically, one end of a first conductive terminal can be electrically connected to a conductive structure of the first power-consuming device, and one end of a second conductive terminal can be electrically connected to a conductive structure of the second power-consuming device. When the first connector and the second connector are mated, a connection between the first power-consuming device and the second power-consuming device is achieved. When the first connector and the second connector are separated, a disconnection between the first power-consuming device and the second power-consuming device is achieved.

[0030] In practical applications, the first electrical device can be a solid-state transformer, etc., and the second electrical device can be a power module, etc. This application does not limit the types of the first and second electrical devices or the application scenarios of the connector assembly.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] To facilitate understanding of the connector assembly provided in the embodiments of this application, its application scenarios will be introduced first below.

[0052] like Figure 1The diagram illustrates an application scenario of a connector assembly. Specifically, the connector assembly may include a first connector 01 and a second connector 02. The first connector 01 includes an insulating shell 011 and a first conductive terminal 012, with the first conductive terminal 012 fixedly connected to the insulating shell 011. The second connector 02 includes an insulating shell 021 and a second conductive terminal 022, with the second conductive terminal 022 fixedly connected to the insulating shell 021. In practical applications, the left end of the first conductive terminal 012 can be electrically connected to an electronic device 03. Correspondingly, the right end of the second conductive terminal 022 can be electrically connected to an electronic device 04. When the first connector 01 and the second connector 02 are mated, the right end of the first conductive terminal 012 mates with the left end of the second conductive terminal 022, thus establishing a circuit connection and enabling an electrical connection between electronic devices 03 and 04. When the first connector 01 and the second connector 02 are separated, the right end of the first conductive terminal 012 separates from the left end of the second conductive terminal 022, thus breaking the circuit and disconnecting the path between electronic devices 03 and 04.

[0053] In some applications, connector assemblies need to be hot-swappable. Specifically, hot-swappability means that the first conductive terminal 012 or the second conductive terminal 022 remains energized when the first connector 01 and the second connector 02 are mated or separated. When the voltage in the first conductive terminal 012 or the second conductive terminal 022 is high, an electric arc will inevitably be generated when they are mated or separated. Specifically, when the distance between the first conductive terminal 012 and the second conductive terminal 022 is within a certain range, an electric arc will be generated between them. The arc will disappear when the first conductive terminal 012 and the second conductive terminal 022 are mated, or when the distance between them is sufficiently large. The arc may burn the insulating shell or other components around the connector assembly, and may even cause explosions. Therefore, in some current connector assemblies, high-temperature resistant materials such as ceramic tubes 013 can be used on the inner wall of the insulating shell 011 or in the arc burning area. However, in practical applications, prolonged arc duration can still lead to problems such as ablation or arc overflow. Currently, a more effective solution is to minimize the arc duration, but this requires hot-plugging the first connector 01 and the second connector 02 at a relatively high speed (e.g., 2 m / s or higher). Specifically, this requires either quickly mating the first conductive terminal 012 and the second conductive terminal 022, or quickly establishing a sufficiently large distance between them. In practice, it is difficult to move the first connector 01 or the second connector 02 quickly by manual operation, thus presenting certain limitations. Furthermore, in some applications, the first connector 01 and the second connector 02 are typically fixedly connected to electronic devices. Therefore, when mating or separating the first connector 01 and the second connector 02, the entire electronic device needs to be moved, further complicating rapid movement.

[0054] Therefore, embodiments of this application provide a connector assembly that supports slow hot-plugging and effectively reduces the duration of electric arc during slow hot-plugging.

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0056] The terminology used in the following embodiments is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to also include expressions such as “one or more,” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that in the following embodiments of this application, “at least one” means one, two, or more.

[0057] References to "one embodiment" and similar terms used in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," and "in other embodiments" appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "having," and variations thereof mean "including, but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment provided in this application, the connector assembly includes a first connector 10 and a second connector 20. Furthermore, to facilitate the explanation of the movement states of each component during docking and disengagement of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, the following embodiments will be specifically described with the first connector 10 fixed and the second connector 20 moving.

[0059] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3The first connector 10 includes a first housing 11 and a first conductive terminal 12, with the first conductive terminal 12 fixedly connected to the first housing 11. The second connector 20 includes a fixing component (not shown), a first moving component (not shown), and a second moving component (not shown). The fixing component includes a second housing 21 and a second conductive terminal 22, with the second conductive terminal 22 fixedly connected to the second housing 21. The first moving component includes a first sliding terminal 23 and a first limiting component 24. The first sliding terminal 23 is slidably connected to the second conductive terminal 22, and they maintain an electrical connection. The first limiting component 24 is fixedly connected to the first sliding terminal 23, and both can move synchronously. The second moving component includes a second sliding terminal 25 and a second limiting component 26. The second sliding terminal 25 is slidably connected to the first sliding terminal 23, and they maintain an electrical connection. The second limiting component 26 is fixedly connected to the second sliding terminal 25, and both can move synchronously. In addition, the second connector 20 also includes a first energy storage member 27a and a second energy storage member 27b. The first energy storage member 27a is connected to the fixed component and the first moving component. Under the action of external force, when the fixed component and the first moving component move relative to each other, the compression of the first energy storage member 27a by the fixed component and the first moving component can cause the first energy storage member 27a to undergo energy storage deformation. When there is no constraint between the fixed component and the first moving component, the first energy storage member 27a recovers from being compressed to its state before energy storage deformation, thereby driving the first moving component to move relative to the fixed component. Here, "no constraint between the fixed component and the first moving component" means that there is no relatively fixed restriction between the fixed component and the first moving component, and relative movement can be achieved between the fixed component and the first moving component under the action of external force. Furthermore, the second energy storage member 27b is connected to the first moving component and the second moving component. Under the action of external force, when the first moving component and the second moving component move relative to each other, the stretching of the second energy storage member 27b by the first moving component and the second moving component can cause the second energy storage member 27b to undergo energy storage deformation. When there is no constraint between the first and second motion components, the second energy storage member 27b recovers from its stretched state to its state before energy storage deformation, thereby driving the second motion component to move relative to the first motion component. Here, "no constraint between the first and second motion components" means that there is no relatively fixed restriction between them, and that relative movement can be achieved between them under the action of external force.

[0060] In the embodiments provided in this application, during the docking process of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, when the first limiting component 24 is relatively fixed to the first housing 11, an external force acts on the fixing component, causing relative displacement and closer proximity between the fixing component and the first moving component. The compression of the first energy storage member 27a by the fixing component and the first moving component causes the first energy storage member 27a to undergo energy storage deformation. When the first limiting component 24 is released from relative fixation to the first housing 11, the first energy storage member 27a recovers from being compressed to its state before energy storage deformation, thereby driving the first moving component and the second moving component to move, thus allowing the second sliding terminal 25 to dock with the first conductive terminal 12, thereby effectively reducing the duration of the electric arc.

[0061] Alternatively, it can be understood that when an external force (such as a human hand) acts on the second housing 21, causing the second connector 20 to move relative to the first housing 11 in a first direction for docking with the first connector 10, the first and second moving components stop moving when the first limiting component 24 is relatively fixed to the first housing 11. As the second housing 21 continues to move in the first direction, a relative displacement occurs between the fixing component and the first moving component, causing the first energy storage member 27a to undergo energy storage deformation. When the relative fixation between the first limiting component 24 and the first housing 11 is released, the first and second moving components can move in the first direction, and under the force of the first energy storage member 27a recovering its deformation, the first energy storage member 27a can drive the first and second moving components to move rapidly in the first direction, so that the second sliding terminal 25 can dock with the first conductive terminal 12 at a faster speed, thereby effectively reducing the duration of the electric arc.

[0062] Furthermore, during the separation of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, when the second limiting component 26 is relatively fixed to the first housing 11, and an external force acts on the fixing component causing the fixing component to drive the first moving component, resulting in relative displacement and separation between the first and second moving components, the stretching of the second energy storage member 27b by the first and second moving components causes the second energy storage member 27b to undergo energy storage deformation. When the second limiting component 26 is released from relative fixation with the first housing 11, the second energy storage member 27b returns from being stretched to its state before energy storage deformation, thereby driving the second moving component to move, thereby separating the second sliding terminal 25 from the first conductive terminal 12, effectively reducing the duration of the electric arc.

[0063] Alternatively, it can be understood that when an external force (such as a human hand) acts on the second housing 21, causing the second connector 20 to move relative to the first housing 11 in a second direction for separation from the first connector 10, the second moving component stops moving after the second limiting component 26 is fixed relative to the first housing 11. At this time, the first conductive terminal 12 and the second sliding terminal 25 are in a mating state. When the fixing component continues to move in the second direction, the fixing component drives the first moving component to move together, causing a relative displacement between the first and second moving components, thereby enabling the second energy storage member 27b to generate energy storage deformation. When the second limiting component 26 is released from relative fixation with the first housing 11, the second moving component can move in the second direction, and under the force of the second energy storage member 27b recovering its deformation, the second energy storage member 27b can drive the second moving component to move rapidly in the second direction, so that the second sliding terminal 25 can separate from the first conductive terminal 12 at a faster speed, thereby effectively reducing the duration of the electric arc.

[0064] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the specific structures of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 will be described below.

[0065] For the first connector 10. (e.g.) Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment provided in this application, one end of the first housing 11 (the right end in the figure) has a first groove 100 opening in a second direction. One end of the first conductive terminal 12 (the right end in the figure) is located within the first groove 100 and is used to mate with the second sliding terminal 25 of the second connector 20. The other end of the first conductive terminal 12 (the left end in the figure) extends out from the end of the first housing 11 facing the first direction (the left end in the figure) and is used to connect with the conductive structure of a cable or electronic device.

[0066] The primary function of the first housing 11 is to fix and protect the first conductive terminal 12. In specific applications, the first housing 11 can be made of a material with good insulation properties, such as plastic. In a plane perpendicular to the second direction, the outer contour of the first housing 11 can be rectangular, circular, elliptical, or other polygonal structures. This application does not limit the shape of the first housing 11.

[0067] Furthermore, considering that an electric arc may occur within the first groove 100 during the docking or separation process of the first conductive terminal 12 and the sliding terminal 23, in one embodiment provided in this application, the sidewall of the first groove 100 also has a ceramic layer 111. The ceramic layer 111 has good insulation and high-temperature resistance. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the electric arc from eroding the first housing 11, thereby improving the safety of the first housing 11. It is understood that in other embodiments, the inner wall of the first groove 100 may also be provided with other materials with good insulation and high-temperature resistance, and this application does not limit this.

[0068] The first conductive terminal 12 primarily serves as a current carrier, and in practical applications, it can be made of materials with good conductivity, such as copper. This application does not limit the material of the first conductive terminal 12. Furthermore, in the embodiments provided in this application, the first conductive terminal 12 has a rod-shaped structure, and its length direction is parallel to the first direction. When the first conductive terminal 12 is connected to the sliding terminal 23, the end of the first conductive terminal 12 facing the second sliding terminal 25 can be inserted into the groove 251 of the second sliding terminal 25, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the first conductive terminal 12 and the second sliding terminal 25.

[0069] It is understood that in other embodiments, the end of the first conductive terminal 12 facing the second sliding terminal 25 may also be configured as a groove structure, and the end of the second sliding terminal 25 facing the first conductive terminal 12 may be a solid rod-shaped structure. This application does not limit this.

[0070] For the second connector 20, as Figure 3 As shown in one embodiment of this application, one end of the second housing 21 (the left end in the figure) has a groove (not shown) opening in a first direction. In other words, during the docking process of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, the opening direction of the groove of the second connector 20 is towards the first connector 10. One end of the second conductive terminal 22 (the left end in the figure) is located in the groove. The other end of the second conductive terminal 22 (the right end in the figure) extends out from the end of the second housing 21 facing the second direction (the right end in the figure) for connection with the conductive structure of a cable or electronic device.

[0071] The main function of the second housing 21 is to fix and protect the second conductive terminal 22. In specific applications, the second housing 21 can be made of a material with good insulation properties, such as plastic. In a plane perpendicular to the second direction, the outer contour of the second housing 21 can be rectangular, circular, elliptical, or other polygonal structures. This application does not limit the shape of the second housing 21.

[0072] The second conductive terminal 22, the first sliding terminal 23, and the second sliding terminal 25 primarily serve as current carriers. In practical applications, materials with good conductivity, such as copper, can be used for their fabrication. This application does not limit the materials used for the second conductive terminal 22, the first sliding terminal 23, and the second sliding terminal 25.

[0073] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown. In the embodiments provided in this application, the second conductive terminal 22, the first sliding terminal 23, and the second sliding terminal 25 are all rod-shaped structures, and the length directions of the second conductive terminal 22, the first sliding terminal 23, and the second sliding terminal 25 are parallel to the first direction.

[0074] Of course, in order to achieve a sliding connection between the second conductive terminal 22 and the first sliding terminal 23, in the embodiments provided in this application, the left end of the second conductive terminal 22 has a first sliding groove 221 arranged in the first direction, and the end of the first sliding terminal 23 facing the second direction (the right end in the figure) is slidably inserted into the first sliding groove 221 to achieve a sliding connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second conductive terminal 22.

[0075] In addition, to achieve a sliding connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second sliding terminal 25, in one embodiment provided in this application, the right end of the second sliding terminal 25 has a second groove 252 disposed in a second direction. The end of the first sliding terminal 23 facing the first direction (the left end in the figure) is slidably inserted into the second groove 252 to achieve a sliding connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second sliding terminal 25.

[0076] In practical applications, the second conductive terminal 22 and the second sliding terminal 25 are electrically connected via the first sliding terminal 23. That is, the second conductive terminal 22 is electrically connected to the first sliding terminal 23, and the first sliding terminal 23 is electrically connected to the second sliding terminal 25. To ensure a reliable electrical connection between the second conductive terminal 22 and the first sliding terminal 23, the groove structure of the first groove 221 can be an elastic structure in practical applications. For example, the groove of the first groove 221 can have at least one gap along a first direction, allowing the groove of the first groove 221 to elastically deform radially (or in a direction perpendicular to the first direction) when compressed by the first sliding terminal 23. Furthermore, under the action of elastic force, it can maintain elastic contact with the first sliding terminal 23, thereby ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second conductive terminal 22. Of course, in other embodiments, a conductive element with a certain elasticity can also be provided on the inner wall of the first sliding groove 221 to achieve an elastic connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second conductive terminal 22, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second conductive terminal 22, while not affecting the relative sliding between the second conductive terminal 22 and the first sliding terminal 23.

[0077] In some embodiments, to ensure reliable electrical connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second sliding terminal 25, the groove structure of the second groove 252 can be an elastic structure. For example, the groove of the second groove 252 can be provided with at least one gap along the first direction, so that the groove of the second groove 252 can elastically deform radially (or in a direction perpendicular to the first direction) when squeezed by the first sliding terminal 23. In addition, under the action of elastic force, it can also maintain elastic contact with the first sliding terminal 23, thereby ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second sliding terminal 25. Of course, in other embodiments, a conductive element with a certain elasticity can also be provided on the inner wall of the second groove 252 to achieve an elastic connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second sliding terminal 25, thereby ensuring the reliability of electrical connection between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second sliding terminal 25, without affecting the relative sliding between the first sliding terminal 23 and the second sliding terminal 25.

[0078] In addition, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in a specific application, the first moving component may further include a first base 28a, which is fixedly connected to the first sliding terminal 23. The second housing 21 has a third sliding groove 200 arranged parallel to the first direction, and the first base 28a is slidably disposed within the third sliding groove 200. The first base 28a can be made of a material with good insulation properties, such as plastic. The sliding engagement between the first base 28a and the third sliding groove 200 effectively improves the stability of the first sliding terminal 23 when sliding relative to the second housing 21.

[0079] It is understandable that, in specific implementation, the material and shape of the first base 28a can be reasonably set according to actual needs, and this application does not limit this.

[0080] In specific applications, the structure of the first limiting component 24 can be varied.

[0081] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment provided in this application, two first limiting components 24 are symmetrically arranged above and below the first sliding terminal 23, and the structures of the two limiting components 24 are roughly the same. The following will specifically describe the first limiting component 24 located on the upper side of the first sliding terminal 23. Specifically, the first limiting component 24 includes a first latch 241 and a first spring 242. The first latch 241 is rotatably connected to the first base 28a. The first spring 242 is connected to the first latch 241 and the first base 28a, and is used to rotate the first latch 241 to a position such that... Figure 3 The first locking position shown is such that the first latch 241 can abut against the first abutment surface 112.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the first latch 241 is mounted on the first base 28a via a pivot 243, thereby enabling the first latch 241 to rotate around the pivot 243. A first spring 242 is connected to both the first latch 241 and the first base 28a; under the elastic force of the first spring 242, the first latch 241 is held in a certain position. Figure 5 The first locking position is shown. When the first latch 241 rotates counterclockwise under the action of other components, the first spring 242 is subjected to force and undergoes elastic deformation. When the force of other components disappears, the first spring 242 returns to its original deformation, causing the first latch 241 to rotate clockwise to the first locking position.

[0083] like Figure 5As shown, when the first latch 241 is in the first locking position, during the movement of the second connector 20 in the first direction, the first latch 241 will abut against the first abutting surface 112 of the first housing 11, thereby preventing the first limiting component 24 from moving to the left and preventing the second sliding terminal 25 from approaching the first conductive terminal 12.

[0084] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the first latch 241 is in the first unlocked position, the first latch 241 will not abut against the first abutting surface 112 of the first housing 11. Alternatively, it can be understood that, in the direction parallel to the first direction, the projection of the first latch 241 on the first housing 11 does not intersect with the first abutting surface 112, thereby enabling the first limiting component 24 to move in the first direction.

[0085] In the embodiments provided in this application, in order to make the first latch 241 rotate to the first unlock position, the first latch also has a first actuating part 2411, and the second housing 21 has a first triggering part 211.

[0086] like Figure 8 As shown, specifically, the first actuating part 2411 is a protruding structure on the first latch 241, and the first triggering part 211 is the inclined surface at the left end of the second housing 21. When the second housing 21 moves to the left, the first triggering part 211 abuts against the first actuating part 2411, causing the first latch 241 to rotate counterclockwise to the first unlocked position.

[0087] It is understood that in other embodiments, the shape and position of the first actuating part 2411 and the first triggering part 211 can be reasonably set according to the actual situation, and this application does not limit them.

[0088] In addition, in the embodiments provided in this application, the first motion component further includes a second base 28b, which is fixedly connected to the first base 28a. Specifically, the second base 28b has a slide cylinder (not shown in the figure) arranged parallel to the first direction, and the second sliding terminal 25 is slidably disposed inside the slide cylinder. That is, through the sliding engagement between the second sliding terminal 25 and the second base 28b, the stability of the second sliding terminal 25 during sliding can be effectively ensured.

[0089] In practical applications, the type and location of the first energy storage component 27a can be varied.

[0090] For example, such as Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment provided in this application, the first energy storage member 27a includes a helical spring. The helical spring is disposed around the first sliding terminal 23, with one end (left end in the figure) connected to the first base 28a and the other end (right end in the figure) connected to the second housing 21. Under the action of an external force, when the second housing 21 moves relative to the first base 28a in a first direction, the first energy storage member 27a is compressed and deformed. When there are no other constraints between the first base 28a and the second housing 21, the first energy storage member 27a recovers its deformation, causing the first base 28a to slide relative to the second housing 21 in the first direction.

[0091] In the embodiments provided in this application, the first energy storage member 27a is a helical spring with good compression capacity. When the first energy storage member 27a is compressed under the action of external force, it can effectively absorb the external force and convert it into its own elastic force. It can effectively return to the state before being compressed, thereby effectively releasing the elastic force to effectively push the first base 28a to move.

[0092] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first energy storage member 27a may also be an elastic member capable of absorbing and releasing force. Furthermore, the first energy storage member 27a may be located in other positions. In summary, under the action of an external force, when the second housing 21 moves relative to the first base 28a along a first direction, the first energy storage member 27a can generate a force-storing deformation. When there is no constraint between the second housing 21 (or the fixed component) and the first base 28a (or the first moving component), the first energy storage member 27a can drive the first base 28a to move along the first direction through its own elastic deformation.

[0093] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the different states of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 during docking will be described in detail below.

[0094] like Figure 3 As shown, the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are completely separated at this time.

[0095] like Figure 5As shown, the fixing component moves to the first mating position. Specifically, under the elastic force of the first spring 242, the first latch 241 is in the first locking position as shown. The first energy storage member 27a is in a natural state, that is, the first energy storage member 27a is not squeezed or stretched by the second housing 21 and the first base 28a. When the second connector 20 is gradually moved along the first direction to mate with the first connector 10 under the action of external force (such as holding the second housing 21), the first latch 241 in the first locking position abuts against the first abutting surface 112 of the first housing 11 to prevent the first moving component from continuing to move in the first direction. It can be understood that the first moving component may include the first sliding terminal 23 and the first limiting component 24.

[0096] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the fixing component moves to the second docking position at this time.

[0097] Specifically, please refer to the following: Figure 5 The second connector 20 continues to move along the first direction. Because the first latch 241 is blocked by the first abutment surface 112, the first and second moving components will not continue to move along the first direction. Under external force (such as holding the second housing 21), the second housing 21 and the second conductive terminal 22 continue to move along the first direction. During this process, because the second housing 21 is displaced relative to the first base 28a along the first direction, the first energy storage member 27a is compressed and undergoes elastic deformation.

[0098] like Figure 8 As shown, when the first trigger part 211 of the second housing acts on the first action part 2411 of the first buckle 241, the first buckle 241 will rotate in a counterclockwise direction, thereby disengaging the first buckle 241 from the first abutting surface 112 of the first housing 11, so that the first motion component can move in the first direction.

[0099] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, at this time, the first energy storage component 27a (not shown in the figure) drives the first motion component and the second motion component to move to the third docking position.

[0100] Specifically, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 Under the elastic force of the first energy storage member 27a, the first motion component will move rapidly along the first direction. In addition, since the left end face of the first base 28a abuts against the right end face of the second base 28b, the first motion component (such as the first base 28a) will push the second motion component (such as the second base 28b) to move along the first direction, thereby causing the second sliding terminal 25 to connect with the first conductive terminal 12 at a faster speed, so as to minimize the arc burning time.

[0101] It is understandable that when the first triggering part 211 begins to abut against the first actuating part 2411 of the first latch 241, the distance between the second sliding terminal 25 and the first conductive terminal 12 is long enough, therefore, no electric arc is generated between the second sliding terminal 25 and the first conductive terminal 12. During the rapid movement of the second sliding terminal 25 along the first direction under the force of the first accumulator 27a, when the distance between the second sliding terminal 25 and the first conductive terminal 12 is close enough and they are not in contact, an electric arc will inevitably be generated. Once the second sliding terminal 25 engages with the first conductive terminal 12, the electric arc will immediately disappear.

[0102] Of course, such as Figures 10 to 12 As shown. In some embodiments, to achieve a better connection between the first conductive terminal 12 and the second sliding terminal 25, after the second sliding terminal 25 is connected to the first conductive terminal 12 under the action of the first accumulator 27a, the second housing 21 can be held and moved further along the first direction to ensure that the length of the first conductive terminal 12 inserted into the groove 251 is sufficiently long. Additionally, the end of the first base 28a facing the first direction can be tightly inserted into the second groove 113 of the second housing 21, thereby ensuring a tight seal between the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, thus improving dustproof and waterproof performance.

[0103] In addition, in the embodiments provided in this application, when the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are disconnected, the second sliding terminal 25 and the first conductive terminal 12 can also be quickly separated.

[0104] Specifically, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown in the embodiment provided in this application, the second limiting component 26 includes a bracket 261, a second latch 262, and a second spring 263. The bracket 261 is fixedly connected to the second sliding terminal 25, and the second latch 262 is slidably connected to the bracket 261. Specifically, the bracket 261 has a sliding hole (not shown in the figure), and the second latch 262 is disposed in the sliding hole and can slide up and down along the sliding hole. The second spring 263 is located in the sliding hole, with one end (the upper end in the figure) connected to the second latch 262 and the other end (the lower end in the figure) connected to the bracket 261. In its natural state, the second spring 263 is used to hold the second latch 262 in the second locking position shown in the figure.

[0105] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, at this time, under the action of the second trigger 281a, the second latch 262 slides downwards as shown. Figure 18The second unlocked position is shown, in which the second spring 263 is in a compressed state. When the downward force acting on the second latch 262 disappears, the second spring 263 can restore its deformation, thereby allowing the second latch 262 to slide upward to the position shown. Figure 14 The second locking position is shown.

[0106] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 14 As shown, the second latch 262 is roughly a three-pronged structure. The protrusion 264 in the middle is used to engage with the slot 114 of the first housing 11 to lock the first housing 11 and the second limiting component 26. The two protrusions 265 and 266 on both sides are used to abut against the second trigger part 281a of the first base 28a. The second trigger part 281a has a beveled structure. When the second trigger part 281a abuts against the two protrusions 265 and 266, it can drive the second latch 262 to move downward, thereby causing the protrusion 264 to disengage from the slot 114 and releasing the relative fixation between the second latch 262 and the slot 114.

[0107] It is understood that in other embodiments, the structure of the second latch 262 may also be of other types. For example, the second latch 262 may also be configured as a rotating structure similar to the first latch 241 described above. Correspondingly, the first latch 241 may also be configured as a sliding structure similar to the second latch 262. This application does not specifically limit this.

[0108] For the second energy storage component 27b, such as Figure 14 As shown in the embodiment provided in this application, the second energy storage member 27b is a helical spring. One end of the second energy storage member 27b is connected to the second base 28b, and the other end is connected to the bracket 261. Under the action of external force, when the second base 28b moves relative to the bracket 261 in the second direction, the second energy storage member 27b is stretched and deformed. When there are no other constraints between the second base 28b and the bracket 261, the second energy storage member 27b recovers its deformation, causing the bracket 261 to slide relative to the second base 28b in the second direction.

[0109] In the embodiments provided in this application, the second energy storage member 27b adopts a helical spring with good tensile strength. When the second energy storage member 27b is stretched under the action of external force, it can effectively absorb the external force and convert it into its own elastic force. It can effectively return to the state before being stretched, thereby effectively releasing the elastic force to effectively pull the bracket 261 (or the second limiting component 26) to move.

[0110] It is understood that in other embodiments, the second energy storage member 27b may also be other elastic members capable of absorbing and releasing force. Furthermore, the second energy storage member 27b may be located in other positions. In summary, under the action of an external force, when the second base 28b moves relative to the bracket 261 along the second direction, the second energy storage member 27b can generate a force-storing deformation. When there is no constraint between the second base 28b (or the first motion component) and the bracket 261 (or the second motion component), the second energy storage member 27b can drive the second sliding terminal 25 to move along the second direction through its own elastic deformation.

[0111] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the different states of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 when they are disconnected will be described in detail below.

[0112] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, at this time, the fixing component acts on the second moving component to move to the first separation position. Specifically, under the elastic force of the second spring 263, the second latch 262 is in the position as shown. Figure 15 The second locking position is shown, and it abuts against the second abutment surface 115 of the slot 114 to prevent the second latch 262 (or the second sliding terminal 25) from moving in the second direction, that is, the second limiting component 26 is locked to the first housing 11. In addition, the second accumulator 27b is in a slightly stretched state. Specifically, when a person moves the second housing 21 to the right, the first protrusion 116 in the second housing 12 abuts against the second protrusion 282a in the first base 28a, so that the second housing 21 drives the first base 28a to move in the second direction. Since the first base 28a and the second base 28b are fixedly connected, the second base 28b will move to the right along with the second housing 21. During the movement of the second base 28b, the second accumulator 27b is stretched to the right, and the second accumulator 27b pulls the bracket 261 (or the second motion component) to the right. After moving a certain distance, the second latch 262 abuts against the second stop surface 115 to prevent the second latch 262 (or the second sliding terminal 25) from moving in the second direction.

[0113] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, at this time, the fixing component acts on the first moving component to move to the second separation position, the second accumulating member 27b generates accumulating deformation, and the second trigger part 281a of the first base 28a acts on the second latch 262, causing the second latch 262 to slide downward, thereby releasing the second abutting surface 115 from limiting the second latch 262. In addition, at this time, the second sliding terminal 25 and the first conductive terminal 12 are in a mating state.

[0114] like Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, at this time, the second accumulator 27b drives the second motion component to move to the third separation position. Specifically, under the elastic force of the second accumulator 27b, the second motion component will move rapidly along the second direction, thereby causing the second sliding terminal 25 to separate from the first conductive terminal 22 at a faster speed, so as to minimize the arc burning time.

[0115] Of course, in some embodiments, in order to achieve better separation between the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, after the second sliding terminal 25 is separated from the first conductive terminal 12 under the action of the second energy storage member 27b, the second housing 21 can be held and continued to move in the second direction.

[0116] In practical applications, the connector components described above can be used in a variety of different types of circuits.

[0117] For example, such as Figure 19 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides an electronic device, including a first power-consuming device 30 and a second power-consuming device 40, as well as any of the aforementioned connector assemblies. The first connector 10 is connected to the first power-consuming device 30, and the second connector 20 is connected to the second power-consuming device 40. Specifically, one end of the first conductive terminal 12 (the left end in the figure) is electrically connected to the conductive structure of the first power-consuming device 30, and the other end of the second conductive terminal 22 (the right end in the figure) is electrically connected to the conductive structure of the second power-consuming device 40. When the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are mated, the connection between the first power-consuming device 30 and the second power-consuming device 40 is achieved. When the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 are separated, the connection between the first power-consuming device 30 and the second power-consuming device 40 is achieved.

[0118] In specific applications, the first electrical device 30 can be a solid-state transformer, etc., and the second electrical device 40 can be a power module, etc. This application does not limit the types of the first electrical device 30 and the second electrical device 40, or the application scenarios of the connector assembly.

[0119] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
