DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-7, an adjustable electrical connector, comprising a main body 1 and a connector 2, the main body 1 and the connector 2 are detachably connected, an interface 3 is provided on the main body 1 and the connector 2, an indicator light 4 electrically connected to the interface 3 is provided on the main body 1 and the connector 2, a positioning plate 5 is fixedly provided on the main body 1, and a groove matching the positioning plate 5 is provided on the connector 2;

[0031] The main body 1 is provided with a first connection seat 6 , and the connection head 2 is provided with a second connection seat 7 . The first connection seat 6 and the second connection seat 7 are electrically connected, and the main body 1 and the connection head 2 are fastened together via a connection mechanism 8 .

[0032] In the present invention, by setting a connector 2 on the main body 1, the information transmitted by the interface of the main body 1 is passed to the connector 2, and the data is transmitted to the connected device through the connector 2, and the connector 2 is detachably connected to the main body 1, and different types of connectors can be adjusted and replaced according to needs, such as connectors with USB interfaces, Type-C and Android interfaces, so as to be suitable for connection plugs of different devices, thereby increasing the applicability of the electrical connector.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of contacts 71 are fixedly provided on the second connecting seat 7, a rectangular groove matching with the second connecting seat 7 is provided on the first connecting seat 6, a conductive part 61 matching with the plurality of contacts 71 is provided on the rectangular groove, and electrical conduction is carried out by the conductive part 61 contacting with the contacts 71, thereby realizing data transmission.

[0034] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the conductive part 61 is an elastic metal sheet, which abuts against the contact 71 to form an electrical connection structure. Moreover, since the elastic metal sheet itself is elastic, the conductive part 61 is always in contact with the contact 71 to prevent poor contact.

[0035] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 8 includes a plug-in portion 81 fixedly arranged on the positioning plate 5, a through groove 82 is opened on the plug-in portion 81, and a plug-in structure matching the through groove is provided on the connector 2. The through groove 82 on the positioning plate 5 is restricted by the plug-in result, thereby connecting the connector 2 to the main body 1 to form an integral structure, thereby effectively preventing the connector 2 from falling off.

[0036] In this embodiment, the plug-in structure includes a slide groove 83 opened on the connector 2, and a limit block 84 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 83. A first spring 85 is arranged between the limit block 84 and the slide groove 83, and the first spring 85 pushes the limit block 84 to be plugged into the through groove 82 to prevent the limit block 84 from being separated from the through groove 82. The limit block 84 is preferably a wedge-shaped block, and the inclined surface of the wedge block is downward, so that when the plug-in part 81 is plugged into the connector 2, it will abut against the inclined surface of the wedge block, forcing the wedge block to move backward to avoid hindering the movement of the plug-in part 81, until the plug-in part 81 is plugged into the through groove 82 and corresponds to the limit block 84. Under the push of the first spring 85, the limit block is inserted into the through groove 82 to fix the plug-in part 81 to prevent the plug-in part 81 from being separated from the connector 2.

[0037] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a guide groove 86 cooperating with the slide groove 83 is provided on the connector 2, and a toggle column 87 cooperating with the guide groove 86 is fixedly provided on the limit block 84. The toggle column 87 passes through the guide groove 86 and extends to the outside thereof. By moving the toggle column 87, the limit block 84 is driven to move and the position of the limit block 84 is controlled, thereby facilitating the removal of the connector 2 for replacement.

[0038] In this embodiment, an extension portion 21 is fixedly provided on the connector 2, and a plurality of fixing members 22 are fixedly provided at the lower end of the extension portion 21. The fixing members 22 are plugged into the main body 1 to increase the firmness between the connector 2 and the main body 1.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, a movable groove is opened on the main body 1, and a movable seat 9 is movably arranged in the movable groove. A second spring 91 is arranged between the movable seat 9 and the movable groove. The first connecting seat 6 is connected to the movable seat 9 through a snap mechanism. The second spring 91 is arranged to push the movable seat 9 to move, so that the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat are abutted to prevent poor contact. The movable seat 9 is provided with an inclined surface, and when the connecting head 2 is installed, the movable seat 9 will move backward.

[0040] In detail, in some embodiments, the snap mechanism includes elastic clips 92 fixedly arranged on both sides of the first connecting seat 6, and both sides of the movable seat 9 are provided with card slots 93 that cooperate with the elastic clips 92. The first connecting seat 6 is connected to the movable seat 9 through the elastic clips 92 and the card slots 93. The first connecting seat 6 can be removed and replaced, thereby preventing poor contact after the conductive part 61 loses its elasticity, and can be replaced in time. The connecting surfaces of the first connecting seat 6 and the movable seat 9 are fixedly provided with multiple conductive parts 61, which contact each other to conduct electricity and transmit information.

[0041] In more detail, in some embodiments, the elastic clip 92 includes a connecting plate 921 and two extension plates 922, and the extension plates 922 are fixedly provided with a protrusion 923, and the card slot 93 is provided with a limiting groove that matches the protrusion 923. When plugged in, the two extension plates 922 are elastically deformed, so that the protrusion 923 is inserted into the card slot, and when the protrusion 923 is inserted into the limiting groove, the extension plate 922 returns to its original state so that the protrusion 923 is stuck in the limiting groove.

[0042] Working method: When working, the interface 3 on the main body 1 is welded to the circuit board and detachably connected to the connector 2, and data is transmitted to the connected device through the connector 2. The connector 2 is detachably connected to the main body 1, and different types of connectors can be replaced according to needs, such as connectors with USB interfaces, Type-C and Android interfaces, so as to be suitable for connecting plugs of different devices. The conductive part 61 on the first connecting seat 6 contacts the contact 71 on the second connecting seat 7 for electrical conduction, thereby realizing data transmission;

[0043] When the connector 2 is connected to the main body 1, the plug-in portion 81 is inserted into the connector 2, and the first spring 85 pushes the limit block 84 to be plugged into the through slot 82 to prevent the limit block 84 from being separated from the through slot 82. When the plug-in portion 81 is plugged into the connector 2, it will abut against the inclined surface of the wedge block, forcing the wedge block to move backward to avoid hindering the movement of the plug-in portion 81, until the plug-in portion 81 is plugged into the through slot 82 and corresponds to the limit block 84. Under the push of the first spring 85, the limit block is inserted into the through slot 82 to fix the plug-in portion 81 to prevent the plug-in portion 81 from being separated from the connector 2. The limit block 84 is driven to move by moving the toggle column 87 to control the position of the limit block 84, thereby facilitating the removal of the connector 2 for replacement.

[0044] During connection, the movable seat 9 and the first connecting seat 6 move backward, and the conductive part 61 undergoes elastic deformation. When the connector 2 is connected to the main body 1, the conductive part 61 resumes contact with the contact 71 to form a conductive structure to transmit information. The elastic clip 92 cooperates with the card slot 93 to fix the first connecting seat 6, so that the first connecting seat 6 can be removed and replaced after wear.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
