Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of load-bearing line connections, and in particular to a load-bearing connection protection device for Type-C interfaces and its application. Background Technology

[0002] USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus, an external bus standard used to regulate the connection and communication between computers and external devices. It is an interface technology used in the PC field. Since the USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum) released the USB 1.0 standard, the USB standard has undergone several versions of development, including USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB 3.1, USB 3.2, and USB 4. USB interfaces can be divided into Type-A, Type-B, Mini USB, Micro USB, and Type-C interfaces. Among them, the Type-A interface is one of the most common USB interfaces, widely used in devices such as mice, keyboards, and USB flash drives. The Type-B interface is often used in devices such as printers, scanners, and special displays. Due to its relatively small size, the Mini USB interface is commonly found in some small devices, such as MP3 players, MP4 players, radios, and some older mobile phone models. In the early days of smartphone development, most smartphones (except Apple phones) used the Micro-B interface for charging and data transfer, and most USB 3.0 external hard drive enclosures also used the Micro-B interface. The Type-C interface is a new type of USB interface that has emerged in recent years. Type-C is much smaller than both Type-A and Type-B, and it represents the latest USB interface form factor standard. This interface has no reversible orientation, allowing for easy plugging and unplugging. Currently, most new smartphones use USB Type-C charging ports, and USB Type-C has also become the standard interface for laptop chargers.

[0003] Specifically, based on the structure and standardization of USB Type-C, it is generally understood that the USB Type-C interface is primarily suitable for electronic devices requiring fast charging and high-speed data transfer, such as smartphones, PCs, tablets, headphones, digital cameras, portable navigation systems, and even display devices. Its application is limited to these products. Currently, various USB interfaces are not used in applications involving heavy-duty wiring connections between microwave / pyroelectric infrared sensors and related devices (such as lamps and power supplies). There are several reasons for this. One reason is that when microwave and pyroelectric infrared sensors are installed in related devices, the small size of the USB Type-C interface, coupled with the depth or other structures between the sensor and the device's connector, can easily obstruct the internal interface. Therefore, unlike smartphones, where the human eye can directly locate the USB Type-C plug and socket in real-time to ensure proper insertion, this presents a challenge. In other words, when USB Type-C is used to connect microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors to related devices such as lights / power supplies, its small size is no longer an advantage. Accurately inserting the USB Type-C plug into a USB Type-C socket when it is obstructed becomes a challenge. On the other hand, USB interfaces are often used for temporary connections, such as when used with mobile phones. The USB Type-C plug and socket are only for temporary charging or data transfer; there is no issue of load-bearing connection between the charger and the phone. However, the connection between microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors and related devices (such as lights) has certain load-bearing requirements. This means that it is necessary to not only establish an electrical connection between the sensor and the light fixture, but also to address the issue of how to securely install the sensor and the light fixture using connectors and sockets.

[0004] In practice, sensors and lighting fixtures are often installed and fixed using threaded connections or rotating clips. This method, when used with USB Type-C for wiring, can easily damage the internal USB Type-C interface or affect the stability of the electrical connection. Therefore, the industry tends to design various special connection methods to connect microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors and related devices, such as contact-type mating between probes and conductive rings / disks. However, this type of wiring often suffers from poor contact, and the friction between the probe and the conductive ring / disk during tightening can damage both, further contributing to poor contact. Furthermore, this non-standard interface lacks universality, hindering the standardization of connections between microwave sensors and lighting fixtures. Using only one probe for control signal transmission also fails to meet the networking requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT). The desire for lighting fixtures to pre-install a universal interface to enable various functional expansions (such as different sensors, wireless networking, and various intelligent controls) is an inevitable trend in the lighting industry.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device and its application, wherein the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device includes a female connector mounting base, a male connector mounting base, a Type-C female connector, and a Type-C male connector, wherein the Type-C female connector is fixed to the female connector mounting base in a state of being embedded in the female connector mounting base, wherein the opening direction of the Type-C female connector is the height direction of the female connector mounting base, the female connector mounting base has an insertion limiting surface that is higher than the opening of the Type-C female connector, and in At least one movable limiting groove extends in the insertion direction of the Type-C female connector and is located laterally to the Type-C female connector, wherein the Type-C male connector is fixed to the male connector mounting base, wherein the opening orientation of the Type-C male connector is the height direction of the male connector mounting base, the male connector mounting base has at least one movable limiting member extending in its height direction and located laterally to the Type-C male connector, wherein the movable limiting member is higher than the opening of the Type-C male connector and has a structural form that matches the movable limiting groove, wherein in the Type-C... Regarding the insertion direction of the male connector and the female connector, when the male connector and the female connector are aligned, the movable limiting groove remains aligned with the opening of the insertion limiting surface and the movable limiting member. This ensures alignment and positioning protection between the male and female connectors during the docking process between the female connector and the male connector, based on the insertion positioning of the movable limiting member and the movable limiting groove. This is achieved by protecting the male connector from misalignment between the movable limiting member and the female connector and / or between the insertion limiting surface and the male connector in the Type-C connector. The insertion direction of the e-C male port and the Type-C female port abuts to limit the insertion depth of the Type-C male port and the Type-C female port. Furthermore, the abutment of the movable limiting member and the movable limiting groove on the side of the Type-C male port and the Type-C female port provides lateral relative movement limit protection. This ensures the stability of the connection between the Type-C male port and the Type-C female port during the docking process of the female port mounting base and the male port mounting base.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device and its application, wherein the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device further includes a first load-bearing docking housing and a second load-bearing docking housing that are mutually matched, wherein in a state where the female mounting seat is installed on the first load-bearing docking housing and the male mounting seat is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing, at least one of the female mounting seats and the male mounting seats is repositionably and movably disposed relative to the corresponding docking housing, so that the active docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing and the second load-bearing docking housing can be further implemented in the state where the female mounting seat and the male mounting seat are mutually docked, and in the state where the first load-bearing docking housing and the second load-bearing docking housing are mutually docked, the active docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing and the second load-bearing docking housing is further implemented. During the docking process between the two bodies, the insertion depth of the Type-C male and female ports is limited and protected by the contact between the movable limiting member and the female port mounting base and / or the insertion limiting surface and the male port mounting base in the insertion direction of the Type-C male and female ports. Furthermore, the lateral relative movement of the Type-C male and female ports is limited and protected by the contact between the movable limiting member and the movable limiting groove in the lateral position of the Type-C male and female ports. This ensures the docking stability of the Type-C male and female ports during the docking process between the first load-bearing docking housing and the second load-bearing docking housing.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device and its application, wherein, in a state where the female mounting base is installed on the first load-bearing docking housing and the male mounting base is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing, at least one of the female and male mounting bases is repositionably and movably disposed relative to the respective docking housing, so that after the docking state between the first and second load-bearing docking housings is released based on the movement between the first and second load-bearing docking housings, the corresponding mounting base repositionably and movably disposed relative to the respective docking housing maintains a connection between the first and second load-bearing docking housings. The displacement generated during the active docking action between the housings can be reset and maintained in the reset state. This allows the active docking structure between the first and second load-bearing docking housings to remain independent of the structure of the female and male mounting bases. During repeated docking between the first and second load-bearing docking housings, the docking accuracy of the female and male mounting bases is ensured. Therefore, when the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device is applied to the load-bearing circuit docking of microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors with related equipment (such as lamps and power supplies), the repeated installation and removal of microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors from related equipment can be easily realized.

[0014] Another object of the present invention is to provide a Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device and its application, wherein, in a state where the female mounting base is installed on the first load-bearing docking housing and the male mounting base is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing, at least one of the female and male mounting bases is repositionably and movably disposed relative to the corresponding docking housing, so that the movable docking structure between the first and second load-bearing docking housings can remain independent of the docking structure between the female and male mounting bases to adapt to different structural design requirements, and reduce the interdependence between the movable docking structure between the first and second load-bearing docking housings and the docking structure between the female and male mounting bases, thereby correspondingly reducing the matching accuracy requirements between the movable docking structure between the first and second load-bearing docking housings and the docking structure between the female and male mounting bases.

[0022] In one embodiment, the number of the movable limiting members is two, corresponding to the number of the movable limiting slots is two. The two movable limiting members are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the Type-C male connector, so that when the movable limiting members are arranged on the side of the Type-C male connector, the male connector mounting base also has the structural characteristic that the Type-C male connector does not restrict the forward or reverse insertion.

[0023] In one embodiment, the first docking ring has at least one guide groove extending in the insertion direction of the Type-C female port and a docking groove integrally extending from the bottom end of the guide groove in the lateral direction of the guide groove.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first docking ring protrudes from the first load-bearing docking housing, and the second docking ring protrudes from the second load-bearing docking housing.

[0026] In one embodiment, the first docking ring is recessed in the first load-bearing docking housing, and the second docking ring is protruding in the second load-bearing docking housing.

[0027] In one embodiment, the guide groove and the docking groove are disposed on the outer wall of the first docking cavity and on the first docking ring, the guide docking protrusion protrudes from the inner wall of the second docking cavity and extends into the second docking ring, wherein the outer wall shape of the first docking ring matches the inner wall shape of the second docking ring.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first docking ring protrudes from the first load-bearing docking housing, and the second docking ring protrudes from the second load-bearing docking housing.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first docking ring protrudes from the first load-bearing docking housing, and the second docking ring is recessed in the second load-bearing docking housing.

[0030] In one embodiment, the second docking ring has at least one guide groove extending in the insertion direction of the Type-C female port and a docking groove integrally extending from the bottom end of the guide groove in the lateral direction of the guide groove. The first docking ring has a guide docking protrusion. In the insertion direction of the Type-C male port and the Type-C female port, when the opening of the movable limiting groove on the insertion limiting surface is aligned with the movable limiting member, the guide docking protrusion is aligned with the guide groove. Correspondingly, during the docking process of the female port mounting seat and the male port mounting seat, the guide docking protrusion slides along the guide groove. And in the state where the female port mounting seat and the male port mounting seat are docked, based on the rotational movement of the first load-bearing docking housing relative to the second load-bearing docking housing, the guide docking protrusion slides along the docking groove to realize the rotational docking between the first docking ring and the second docking ring.

[0031] In one embodiment, the guide groove and the docking groove are disposed on the inner wall of the second docking cavity of the second docking ring, the guide docking protrusion protrudes from the outer wall of the first docking cavity and extends into the first docking ring, wherein the inner wall shape of the second docking ring matches the outer wall shape of the first docking ring.

[0035] In one embodiment, the first docking ring protrudes from the first load-bearing docking housing, and the second docking ring protrudes from the second load-bearing docking housing.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first docking ring is recessed in the first load-bearing docking housing, and the second docking ring is protruding in the second load-bearing docking housing.

[0037] In one embodiment, the second load-bearing docking housing is implemented as a microwave sensor housing.

[0038] In one embodiment, the male mounting base is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing and further linked to a rotating linkage plate. This rotating linkage plate rotates in conjunction with the male mounting base when it is rotatably mounted relative to the second load-bearing docking housing. The rotating linkage plate is forcefully connected to an elastic element disposed on the second load-bearing docking housing. This maintains the male mounting base in a limited-force initial state when it is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing. Correspondingly, when the male mounting base rotates relative to the second load-bearing docking housing due to the force driven by the rotational docking action between the first and second load-bearing docking housings, the deformation of the elastic element increases the force on the rotating linkage plate. Therefore, when the external force applied to the male mounting base is released, the rotating linkage plate can be driven by the elastic element to reset the male mounting base to maintain it in the limited-force initial state. This achieves the state where the male mounting base is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing.

The rotating linkage plate has a linkage groove and at least one snap-fit ​​groove. When the rotating linkage plate is mounted on the male mounting base, the linkage portion is inserted into the linkage groove and abuts against the rotating linkage plate in the direction of insertion into the linkage groove. The snap-fit ​​portion is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove and snaps against the rotating linkage plate in the direction of withdrawal from the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0040] In one embodiment, the base plate has a rotation limiting portion formed in a shape that protrudes from or is recessed into the base plate, and the second load-bearing docking housing has an installation channel communicating with the second docking cavity. In the state where the male mounting seat is installed in the second load-bearing docking housing, the linkage portion is inserted into the installation channel, and the base plate abuts against the second load-bearing docking housing in the direction in which the linkage portion is inserted into the installation channel. The rotation limiting portion of the base plate is limited to a certain rotation stroke by the second load-bearing docking housing in the rotation direction of the male mounting seat.

[0041] In one embodiment, the rotation limiting portion is formed on the edge of the base plate in a form that protrudes from the base plate, and the second load-bearing docking housing has a rotation limiting area in the form of a groove corresponding to the channel opening of the mounting channel that communicates with the second docking cavity. In the state where the male mounting seat is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing, the rotation limiting portion of the base plate is located in the rotation limiting area, and the rotation direction of the male mounting seat is limited by the rotation limiting area to a certain rotation stroke.

[0042] In one embodiment, the number of the guide docking protrusions is two, wherein the two guide docking protrusions are symmetrically arranged on the second load-bearing docking housing and are parallel or perpendicular to the symmetrical direction of the two movable limiting members, so that the male mounting seat is rotatably and repositionably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing, so that the docking between the first load-bearing docking housing and the second load-bearing docking housing has the structural characteristics of the Type-C interface that does not restrict the forward or reverse insertion.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0061] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0062] Referring to the accompanying drawings of this invention Figure 1As shown, a partial structure of a Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device includes a female connector mounting base 10, a male connector mounting base 20, a Type-C female connector 30, and a Type-C male connector 40. The Type-C female connector 30 is fixed to the female connector mounting base 10 in a state of being embedded in the female connector mounting base 10. The opening direction of the Type-C female connector 30 is the height direction of the female connector mounting base 10. The female connector mounting base 10 has an insertion limiting surface 101 that is raised in its height direction, and extends in the insertion direction of the Type-C female connector 30. At least one movable limiting groove 102 is located on the side of the Type-C female port 30, wherein the insertion limiting surface 101 is preferably higher than the opening of the Type-C female port 30, wherein the Type-C male port 40 is fixed to the male port mounting base 20, wherein the opening orientation of the Type-C male port 40 is the height direction of the male port mounting base 20, the male port mounting base 20 has at least one movable limiting member 201 extending in its height direction and located on the side of the Type-C male port 40, wherein the movable limiting member 201 has a structural form that matches the movable limiting groove 102 and is preferably higher than the opening of the Type-C male port 40, wherein in the T Regarding the insertion direction of the Type-C male connector 40 and the Type-C female connector 30, when the Type-C male connector 40 and the Type-C female connector 30 are aligned, the movable limiting groove 102 remains aligned with the opening of the insertion limiting surface 101 and the movable limiting member 201. This ensures alignment and positioning protection of the Type-C male connector 40 and the Type-C female connector 30 based on the insertion positioning of the movable limiting member 201 and the movable limiting groove 102 during the docking process between the female connector mounting base 10 and the male connector mounting base 20. Furthermore, it provides protection based on the relationship between the movable limiting member 201 and the female connector mounting base 10 and / or the relationship between the insertion limiting surface 101 and the male connector mounting base 20. The contact between the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 in the insertion direction provides protection for the insertion depth of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30. Furthermore, the contact between the movable limiting member 201 and the movable limiting groove 102 at the side of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 provides protection for the lateral relative movement of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30. This ensures the accuracy and stability of the connection between the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 during the docking process between the female port mounting base 10 and the male port mounting base 20.

[0063] It is understood that the movable limiting groove 102 can correspond to both Figure 1 The groove can be either laterally open or laterally closed, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device uses the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 as the standard interface for line docking. It is suitable for standardization while also having the support characteristics of the Type-C interface for high-power power supply docking and high-speed data docking, thus having wide applicability.

[0065] In particular, based on the above-mentioned structural features of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device, the docking accuracy of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 can be guaranteed. Therefore, when the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device is applied to the load-bearing line docking of microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors and related equipment (such as lamps and power supplies), it is beneficial to realize the rapid plugging of microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors into related equipment.

[0066] Furthermore, refer to the accompanying drawings of the specification of this invention. Figure 2A and Figure 2BAs shown, the structural form of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device according to the above embodiment of the present invention applied to the load-bearing docking of a microwave sensor is illustrated. The Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device further includes a first load-bearing docking housing 50 and a second load-bearing docking housing 60 that are mutually matched to be suitable for docking and bear weight in the disengagement direction of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30. The female port mounting base 10 is mounted on the first load-bearing docking housing 50, and the male port mounting base 20 is mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60. At least one of the female port mounting base 10 and the male port mounting base 20 is repositionably and movably disposed relative to the corresponding docking housing 50 / 60, so that the movable docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 can be further implemented in the state where the female port mounting base 10 and the male port mounting base 20 are docked, and is repositionably and movably disposed relative to the corresponding docking housing 50 / 60. When displacement occurs between the corresponding mounting base 10 / 20 and the docking housing 50 / 60 due to the movable docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the abutment between the movable limiting member 201 and the female mounting base 10 and / or between the insertion limiting surface 101 and the male mounting base 20 in the insertion direction of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 is achieved, thereby enabling the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 to be connected. The insertion depth limit protection, and the abutment of the movable limiting member 201 and the movable limiting groove 102 on the side of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30, realize the lateral relative movement limit protection of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30, thereby ensuring the docking stability of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 during the active docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60.

[0067] It is worth mentioning that, in the state where the female mounting seat 10 is installed on the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the male mounting seat 20 is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, at least one of the female mounting seats 10 and the male mounting seats 20 is repositionably and movably disposed relative to the corresponding docking housing 50 / 60. This is so that after the docking state between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 is released based on movement between them, the corresponding mounting seat 10 / 20 repositionably and movably disposed relative to the corresponding docking housing 50 / 60 remains in contact with the docking housing 50 / 60 between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60. The displacement generated during the active docking action between the bodies 60 can be reset and maintained in the reset state. This allows the active docking structure between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 to remain independent of the structure in which the female mounting base 10 and the male mounting base 20 dock together. During repeated docking between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the docking accuracy of the female mounting base 10 and the male mounting base 20 is ensured. Therefore, when the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device is applied to the load-bearing circuit docking of microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors with related equipment (such as lamps, power supplies), the repeated installation and removal of microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors from related equipment can be easily realized.

[0068] Furthermore, when the female mounting seat 10 is installed on the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the male mounting seat 20 is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, at least one of the female mounting seat 10 and the male mounting seat 20 is repositionably and movably disposed relative to the corresponding docking housing 50 / 60. This allows the movable docking structure between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 to remain independent of the docking structure between the female mounting seat 10 and the male mounting seat 20, adapting to different structural design requirements. This also reduces the interdependence between the movable docking structure between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 and the docking structure between the female mounting seat 10 and the male mounting seat 20, correspondingly reducing the matching accuracy requirements between the movable docking structure between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 and the docking structure between the female mounting seat 10 and the male mounting seat 20.

[0069] Specifically, in Figure 2A and Figure 2BIn this application of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device, as exemplified, the male connector mounting base 20 is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and the female connector mounting base 10 is fixedly mounted on the first load-bearing docking housing 50. The first load-bearing docking housing 50 has at least one guide groove 501 extending in the insertion direction of the Type-C female connector 30 and a docking groove 502 integrally extending from the bottom end of the guide groove 501 in the lateral direction of the guide groove 501. The second load-bearing docking housing 60 has a guide docking protrusion 601. In the insertion direction of the Type-C male connector 40 and the Type-C female connector 30, when the movable limiting groove 102 aligns with the opening of the insertion limiting surface 101 and the movable limiting member 201, the guide docking protrusion 601 of the second load-bearing docking housing 60 and the guide docking protrusion 601 of the first load-bearing docking housing 50 are aligned. Alignment with groove 501 corresponds to the process of docking the female mounting seat 10 and the male mounting seat 20. During this process, the guide docking protrusion 601 of the second load-bearing docking housing 60 slides along the guide groove 501 of the first load-bearing docking housing 50. Furthermore, based on the structural state that the male mounting seat 20 is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the rotational docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 can be further implemented. Corresponding to the rotational action of the first load-bearing docking housing 50 relative to the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the guide docking protrusion 601 of the second load-bearing docking housing 60 slides along the docking groove 502 to realize the rotational docking between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60.During the rotational docking process between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the male mounting base 20 rotates synchronously relative to the second load-bearing docking housing 60. However, based on the abutment between the movable limiting member 201 and the female mounting base 10 and / or between the insertion limiting surface 101 and the male mounting base 20 in the insertion direction of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30, the insertion depth of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 can be... The lateral relative movement of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 is limited and protected by the contact between the movable limiting member 201 and the movable limiting groove 102 at the side of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30. This ensures the docking stability of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 during the rotational docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60.

[0070] In particular, Figure 2A and Figure 2B In this application of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device, as exemplified, there are two movable limiting members 201, corresponding to two movable limiting slots 102. The two movable limiting members 201 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the Type-C male port 40. When the movable limiting members 201 are arranged in the lateral position of the movable limiting members, the male port mounting base 20 also has the structural characteristic that the Type-C male port 40 does not restrict forward or reverse insertion.

[0071] In addition, Figure 2A and Figure 2B In this application of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device, as exemplified, there are two guide docking protrusions 601. The two guide docking protrusions 601 are symmetrically arranged on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and preferably parallel or perpendicular to the symmetrical direction of the two movable limiting members 201. In the state where the male mounting base 20 is rotatably and repositionably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the docking between the first load-bearing docking housing 60 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 has the structural characteristic of the Type-C interface that does not restrict forward or reverse insertion.

[0072] Furthermore, in Figure 2A and Figure 2BIn this application of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device, the first load-bearing docking housing 50 includes a first docking ring 503 and has a first docking cavity 500 defined by the first docking ring 503. The second load-bearing docking housing 60 includes a second docking ring 602 and has a second docking cavity 600 defined by the second docking ring 602. The female mounting base 10 is fixedly mounted to the first load-bearing docking housing 50 in a state surrounded by the first docking ring 503. The male mounting base 20 is rotatably mounted to the second load-bearing docking housing 60 in a state surrounded by the second docking ring 602. The guide groove 501 and the docking groove 502 are disposed on the inner wall of the first docking cavity 500 on the first docking ring 503. The guide docking protrusion 601 protrudes from the outer wall of the second docking cavity 600 and extends into the second docking ring 602. The inner wall shape of the first docking ring 503 matches the outer wall shape of the second docking ring 602.

[0073] It is worth mentioning that, Figure 2A and Figure 2B In this application of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device, the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 are both protruding from the corresponding docking housing 50 / 60. The structural forms of the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 can be interchanged and / or swapped inside and outside. This invention does not limit this.

[0074] Corresponding to the state where the structural forms of the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 are interchanged, the inner wall of the second docking cavity 600 is provided with a corresponding guide groove and docking groove, the outer wall of the first docking cavity 500 is provided with a corresponding guide docking protrusion, and the outer wall shape of the first docking ring 503 matches the inner wall shape of the second docking ring 602. The present invention does not limit this.

[0075] Corresponding to the state where the structural forms of the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 are interchanged, the guide groove 501 and the docking groove 502 are disposed on the outer wall of the first docking cavity 500 on the first docking ring 503, and the guide docking protrusion 601 protrudes from the inner wall of the second docking cavity 600 and extends into the second docking ring 602, and the outer wall shape of the first docking ring 503 matches the inner wall shape of the second docking ring 602. The present invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0076] Corresponding to the state where the structural forms of the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 are interchanged and the inside and outside are swapped, the outer wall of the second docking ring 602 is provided with a corresponding guide groove and docking groove, the inner wall of the first docking ring 503 is provided with a corresponding guide docking protrusion, and the inner wall shape of the first docking ring 503 matches the outer wall shape of the second docking ring 602. The present invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0077] In particular, in some embodiments of the present invention, in Figure 2A and Figure 2B Based on this application form of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device exemplified above, the first docking ring 503 may optionally correspond to Figure 3 The material is recessed within the first load-bearing docking housing 50, but this invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0078] Furthermore, in the first docking ring 503 corresponding to Figure 3 In the state of being recessed within the first load-bearing docking housing 50, the structural forms of the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 are interchangeable and their inner and outer parts are swapped. Corresponding to the state of the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 having interchangeable structural forms and their inner and outer parts swapped, the outer wall of the second docking ring 602 is provided with a corresponding guide groove and docking groove, the inner wall of the first docking ring 503 is provided with a corresponding guide docking protrusion, and the inner wall shape of the first docking ring 503 matches the outer wall shape of the second docking ring 602.

[0079] Similarly, in some embodiments of the present invention, in Figure 2A and Figure 2B Based on this application form of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device described in the example, when the structural forms of the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 are interchanged, and when the internal and external structural forms of the first docking ring 503 and the second docking ring 602 are reversed, the second docking ring 602 can be recessed into the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0080] Specifically, in these embodiments of the present invention, the male mounting base 20 is rotatably and repositionably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and the female mounting base 10 is fixedly mounted on the first load-bearing docking housing 50. The mounting housings of the male mounting base 20 and the female mounting base 10 are interchangeable. Correspondingly, in some embodiments of the present invention, the female mounting base 10 is rotatably and repositionably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and the male mounting base 20 is fixedly mounted on the first load-bearing docking housing 50. In other embodiments of the present invention, the female mounting base 10 is fixedly mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and the male mounting base 20 is rotatably and repositionably mounted on the first load-bearing docking housing 50. The present invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0081] It is worth mentioning that, in the docking state of the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, a waterproof / dustproof gasket may be optionally provided between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 to ensure the waterproof / dustproof performance between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 in the docking state. For example, by providing the waterproof / dustproof gasket between the first docking ring 503 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and / or by providing the waterproof / dustproof gasket between the second docking ring 602 and the first load-bearing docking housing 50, in the docking state of the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the compression of the corresponding waterproof / dustproof gasket by the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 ensures the waterproof / dustproof performance between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 in the docking state.

[0082] Further reference is made to the accompanying drawings of this invention. Figures 4A to 4C As shown, in Figure 2A and Figure 2BBased on the example of the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device, the mounting structure of the male connector 20 on the second load-bearing docking housing 60 is further illustrated. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the male connector 20 is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60 and is further linked to a rotating linkage plate 70. This rotating linkage plate 70 is driven to rotate when the male connector 20 is rotated relative to the second load-bearing docking housing 60. The rotating linkage plate 70 is forcefully connected to an elastic element 80 disposed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60. This maintains the male connector 20 in a limited-force initial state when it is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, corresponding to the situation where the male connector 20 is driven relative to the second load-bearing docking housing 60 by an external force. When the second load-bearing docking housing 60 is rotated, specifically when the male mounting base 20 is rotated relative to the second load-bearing docking housing 60 due to the force driven by the rotational docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the force on the rotating linkage plate 70 is increased due to the deformation of the elastic element 80. Thus, when the external force applied to the male mounting base 20 is released, the rotating linkage plate 70 can be driven by the elastic element 80 to reset the male mounting base 20 and maintain it in the initial state of the limiting force, thereby realizing the state in which the male mounting base 20 is rotatably and repositionably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60.

[0083] In detail, the male mounting base 20 further includes a base plate 202, a linkage part 203, and at least one snap-fit ​​part 204. The movable limiting member 201 extends from the base plate 202 in the height direction of the male mounting base 20. The linkage part 203 and the snap-fit ​​part 204 extend from the base plate 202 in the opposite direction to the extension direction of the movable limiting member 201. The rotating linkage plate 70 has a linkage groove 701 and at least one snap-fit ​​groove 702. When the rotating linkage plate 70 is mounted on the male mounting base 20, the linkage part 203 is inserted into the linkage groove 701 and abuts against the rotating linkage plate 70 in the direction of insertion into the linkage groove 701. The snap-fit ​​part 204 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 702 and abuts against the rotating linkage plate 70 when the snap-fit ​​part is removed. The groove 702 engages with the rotating linkage plate 70, thereby restricting the movement of the male mounting base 20 relative to the rotating linkage plate 70 in that direction based on the abutment between the linkage part 203 and the rotating linkage plate 70 in the direction of insertion into the linkage groove 701, and forming an abutment between the linkage part 203 and the groove wall of the linkage groove 701 based on the structure of the linkage part 203 being inserted into the linkage groove 701, corresponding to the state in which the male mounting base 20 is rotated relative to the second load-bearing docking housing 60, thereby driving the rotating linkage plate 70 to rotate, and restricting the male mounting base 20 from being pulled out of the rotating linkage plate 70 in that direction based on the engagement between the locking part 204 and the rotating linkage plate 70 in the direction of removal from the locking groove 702.

[0084] Further, the base plate 202 has a rotation limiting portion 2021 formed in a shape that protrudes from or is recessed into the base plate 202. The second load-bearing docking housing 60 has an installation channel 605 communicating with the second docking cavity 600. When the male mounting seat 20 is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the linkage portion 203 is inserted into the installation channel 605. The base plate 202 abuts against the second load-bearing docking housing 60 in the direction in which the linkage portion 203 is inserted into the installation channel 605. The rotation limiting part 2021 of 2 is limited to a certain rotation stroke in the rotation direction of the male mounting seat 20 by the second load-bearing docking housing 60. Thus, when the male mounting seat 20 is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and the rotation linkage plate 70 is installed on the male mounting seat 20, and the rotation linkage plate 70 is forcefully connected to the elastic element 80 provided in the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the male mounting seat 20 is rotatably installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60 in an initial state of limiting force.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the base plate 202 is a circular base plate, and the mounting channel 605 is a circular channel, wherein the diameter of the mounting channel 605 is smaller than the diameter of the base plate 202, so that in the direction in which the linkage part 203 is inserted into the mounting channel 605, the base plate 202 is abutted against the channel opening of the mounting channel 605 communicating with the second docking cavity 600 in that direction, and at the same time, the male mounting seat 20 is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60.

[0086] Furthermore, the rotation limiting part 2021 is formed on the edge of the base plate 202 in a form that protrudes from or is recessed into the base plate 202, including but not limited to the side edge and the lower edge (in the direction in which the linkage part 203 is inserted into the mounting channel 605). The second load-bearing docking housing 60 has a rotation limiting area 606 in a groove or protrusion corresponding to the channel opening of the mounting channel 605 that communicates with the second docking cavity 600. When the male mounting seat 20 is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the rotation limiting part 2021 of the base plate 202 is located in the rotation limiting area 606 and the rotation direction of the male mounting seat 20 is limited by the rotation limiting area 606 to a certain rotation stroke, thereby forming a structural state in which the male mounting seat 20 is rotatably and limitingly installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60.

[0087] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the rotation limiting part 2021 is formed on the side edge of the base plate 202 in a form that protrudes from the base plate 202. The second load-bearing docking housing 60 has the rotation limiting area 606 in a groove form corresponding to the channel opening of the mounting channel 605 that communicates with the second docking cavity 600. When the male mounting seat 20 is installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the rotation limiting part 2021 of the base plate 202 is located in the rotation limiting area 606 and the rotation direction of the male mounting seat 20 is limited by the rotation limiting area 606 to a certain rotation stroke, thereby forming a structural state in which the male mounting seat 20 is rotatably and limitingly installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60.

[0088] It is worth mentioning that there are various structural forms that enable the male mounting base 20 to be rotatably and repositionably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, and the present invention is not limited to any of them. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the male mounting base 20 is fixed to the corresponding housing, and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 is rotatably and repositionably mounted on that housing, the structural state in which the male mounting base 20 is rotatably and repositionably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60 can also be equivalently formed.

[0089] Furthermore, when the male mounting base 20 is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the rotational docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 can be further implemented when the female mounting base 10 and the male mounting base 20 are docked together. When the male mounting base 20 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 rotate based on the rotational docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the movable limiting member 201 and the movable limiting groove 102 abut against the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 on the side, thereby achieving lateral relative movement limiting protection for the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30. This ensures the docking stability of the Type-C male port 40 and the Type-C female port 30 during the rotational docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60.

[0090] Furthermore, when the male mounting base 20 is rotatably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, after the docking state between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 is released due to the rotation between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the rotational displacement generated between the male mounting base 20 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 during the rotational docking action between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 can be reset and maintained in the reset state. This ensures that the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60... The movable docking structure between the second load-bearing docking housing 60 can maintain independence from the structure of the female mounting base 10 and the male mounting base 20 docking with each other. During the repeated rotation docking between the first load-bearing docking housing 50 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the docking accuracy of the female mounting base 10 and the male mounting base 20 is ensured. Therefore, when the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device is applied to the load-bearing line docking of microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors and related equipment (such as lamps, power supplies), the repeated installation and unloading of microwave sensors / pyroelectric infrared sensors to related equipment can be easily realized.

[0091] It is worth mentioning that, when the male connector mounting base 20 is repositionably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the connection between the Type-C male connector 40 fixed to the male connector mounting base 20 and the corresponding circuit can be either a flexible circuit connection or a non-flexible circuit connection between the corresponding circuit board and the circuit board when the circuit board is movably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60. The present invention does not limit this.

[0092] For example, when the Type-C interface load-bearing docking protection device is applied to the load-bearing circuit docking of a microwave sensor and related equipment (such as lamps and power supplies), specifically taking the second load-bearing docking housing 60 as an example of the microwave sensor housing, the corresponding circuit board can either be fixedly mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60 and connected to the Type-C male port 40 via flexible wiring, or it can be fixedly connected to the Type-C male port 40 and movably mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60; the present invention does not limit this. It is worth mentioning that, in the state where the corresponding circuit board is fixedly mounted on the second load-bearing docking housing 60 and connected to the Type-C male port 40 via flexible wiring, the two ends of the corresponding flexible wiring can also be electrically connected to the terminals of the Type-C male port 40 and the terminals of the corresponding circuit board respectively using standard interfaces; the present invention also does not limit this.

[0093] Similarly, when the female port mounting base 10 is repositionably mounted on the first load-bearing docking housing 50, the connection between the Type-C female port 30 fixed to the female port mounting base 10 and the corresponding circuit can be either a flexible circuit connection or a non-flexible circuit connection between the corresponding circuit board and the circuit board when the circuit board is movably mounted on the first load-bearing docking housing 50. The present invention does not limit this.

[0094] Furthermore, when the female mounting base 10 is fixedly installed on the first load-bearing docking housing 50, the connection between the female mounting base 10 and the first load-bearing docking housing 50 can be a fixed connection based on the connection between the wiring pins led out from the female mounting base 10 and the corresponding plates fixed to the first load-bearing docking housing 50, a fixed connection based on the threaded connection between the female mounting base 10 and the first load-bearing docking housing 50, or a fixed connection based on the snap-fit ​​connection between the female mounting base 10 and the first load-bearing docking housing 50. The present invention does not limit this.

[0095] Furthermore, when the female mounting base 10 is fixedly installed on the first load-bearing docking housing 50, the female mounting base 10 and the first load-bearing docking housing 50 can also form a first load-bearing docking module based on any of the above-mentioned fixed connection methods or based on an integrally formed fixed connection method. The first load-bearing docking module can have a threaded structure suitable for being installed on the corresponding housing in a threaded connection manner, or it can have a snap-fit ​​structure suitable for being installed on the corresponding housing in a snap-fit ​​manner. In the state where the first load-bearing docking module is installed on the corresponding housing, the first load-bearing docking housing 50 of the first load-bearing docking module constitutes a part of the housing.

[0096] Similarly, when the male mounting base 20 is fixedly installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the connection between the male mounting base 20 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 can be a fixed connection based on the connection between the wiring pins led out from the male mounting base 20 and the corresponding plates fixed to the second load-bearing docking housing 60, a fixed connection based on the threaded connection between the male mounting base 20 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60, or a fixed connection based on the snap-fit ​​connection between the male mounting base 20 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60. The present invention does not limit this.

[0097] Furthermore, when the male mounting base 20 is fixedly installed on the second load-bearing docking housing 60, the male mounting base 20 and the second load-bearing docking housing 60 can also form a second load-bearing docking module based on any of the above-mentioned fixed connection methods or based on an integrally formed fixed connection method.
