Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of connector technology, and more specifically, relates to a connector, cooling device, battery and electrical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the two tubes in a cooling device are typically connected using a connector. Specifically, one tube connects to the first connector, and the other tube connects to the second connector. The first and second connectors are then connected to form the two tubes. However, in actual use, it is difficult for operators to accurately determine whether the first and second connectors are properly connected. If the first and second connectors are not properly connected, leakage can occur between them, which is detrimental to the reliability of the cooling device. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a connector, cooling device, battery, and electrical equipment to solve the technical problem in the related art that it is difficult to accurately determine whether the first and second connectors of the connector are properly connected.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application embodiment is: to provide a connector, comprising:

[0005] First connector;

[0006] The second connector connects to the first connector;

[0007] The identification unit is used for identification by external devices;

[0008] When the first connector and the second connector are not connected in place, the shielding member shields the identification part. When the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector by removing the shielding member. Alternatively, the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through an identification window opened in the shielding member.

[0009] The connector provided in this application embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects: By providing an identification part and a shielding member, the identification part of the connector provided in this application embodiment can be identified by an external device. When the first connector and the second connector are not properly connected, the shielding member blocks the identification part, preventing the external device from identifying it. When the first connector and the second connector are properly connected, the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector, detached from the shielding member. Alternatively, the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through an identification window opened in the shielding member, allowing the external device to identify it. In other words, when the external device cannot identify the identification part, it can be determined that the first connector and the second connector are not properly connected; when the external device can identify the identification part, it can be determined that the first connector and the second connector are properly connected. Thus, workers can accurately determine whether the first connector and the second connector of the connector are properly connected, enabling timely rework of the connector when the first connector and the second connector are not properly connected, thereby reducing the risk of connector leakage.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the connector further includes a movable member, on which an identification portion is disposed. When the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the second connector pushes the movable member to move in a first direction, so that the identification portion can be removed from the shield and exposed to the external environment of the connector, or the identification portion can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through an identification window. The first direction is the direction from the second connector to the first connector.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the second connector pushes the movable member to move along the first direction. At this time, the movable member moves along the first direction to a preset position so that the identification part can be removed from the shield and exposed to the external environment of the connector, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window, so that the external device can identify the identification part.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the connector has a groove extending along a first direction, and the movable part is slidably disposed within the groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the direction of movement of the moving parts is effectively restricted, thereby effectively improving the stability of the movement of the moving parts.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, a drive structure is provided between the groove wall and the movable member. When the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the second connector pushes against the movable member to trigger the drive structure. The drive structure provides the power for the movable member to move in a first direction so that the identification part can be removed from the shield and exposed to the external environment of the connector, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the second connector pushes against the movable part to trigger the drive structure. Under the driving action of the drive structure, the movable part can move along the first direction. When the drive structure is triggered, the operator can initially determine that the first connector and the second connector are connected in place. When the movable part moves to the preset position along the first direction, the identification part can be removed from the shield and exposed to the external environment of the connector. Alternatively, the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window. The external device can identify the identification part, and the operator can further determine that the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, thereby further improving the accuracy of the operator's judgment on whether the first connector and the second connector are connected in place.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the chute has a first groove wall, on which a first pressing part protrudes. The movable part includes a main body and a first elastic arm. An identification part is disposed on the main body, and the first elastic arm is disposed on one end of the main body near the second connector. The first elastic arm and the first pressing part are elastically pressed together to form a driving structure.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the first spring arm and the first pressing part are elastically pressed together, so that the first spring arm undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the pushing inertia of the second connector, the first spring arm disengages from the first pressing part, thereby pushing the movable part to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector from the shielding part, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the first pressing part includes a first protrusion and a first inclined surface. The first protrusion protrudes from the first groove wall, and the first inclined surface is located on the side of the first protrusion facing away from the second connector and is connected between the first groove wall and the end of the first protrusion facing away from the first groove wall. The first protrusion and the first inclined surface are sequentially pressed against the first elastic arm along the first direction.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the first spring arm first elastically presses against the first protrusion, so that the first spring arm undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the pushing inertia of the second connector, the first spring arm disengages from the first protrusion and elastically presses against the first inclined surface. Subsequently, the first spring arm gradually resets along the inclined direction of the first inclined surface, so that the drive structure can continuously provide the moving part with the power to move along the first direction before the first spring arm disengages from the first inclined surface, thereby pushing the moving part to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector after disengaging from the shielding part, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the first spring arm includes a first arm body disposed on the main body and a second pressing part protruding from the first arm body, wherein the second pressing part presses against the first pressing part.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic deformation amplitude of the first elastic arm is effectively increased, thereby effectively improving the power provided by the drive structure to the moving part, so as to ensure that the moving part can move to the preset position along the first direction, so that the identification part can be removed from the shield and exposed to the external environment of the connector, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the second pressing part includes a second protrusion and a second inclined surface. The second protrusion protrudes from the first arm body, and the second inclined surface is located on the side of the second protrusion facing away from the second connector and is connected between the first arm body and the end of the second protrusion facing away from the first arm body.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, under the pushing action of the second joint, the first pressing part first presses against the second inclined surface, so that the first elastic arm gradually undergoes elastic deformation along the inclination direction of the second inclined surface until the second protrusion presses against the first pressing part, so as to press the second protrusion against the first pressing part, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the moving part moving along the first direction.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the slide has a second groove wall disposed opposite to the first groove wall, and a third pressing part protrudes from the second groove wall. The movable member also includes a second spring arm, which is disposed opposite to the first spring arm and located at one end of the main body near the second connector. The first spring arm and the first pressing part are elastically pressed together, and the second spring arm and the third pressing part are elastically pressed together to form a driving structure.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the forces on the two sides of the moving part are more balanced, effectively reducing the tilt amplitude of the moving part relative to the first direction, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the moving part's movement. At the same time, it effectively improves the power provided by the drive structure to the moving part, so as to ensure that the moving part can move to the preset position along the first direction.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the third pressing part includes a third protrusion and a third inclined surface. The third protrusion protrudes from the second groove wall, and the third inclined surface is located on the side of the third protrusion facing away from the second connector and is connected between the second groove wall and the end of the third protrusion facing away from the second groove wall. The third protrusion and the third inclined surface are sequentially pressed against the second elastic arm in a first direction.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the second spring arm first elastically presses against the third protrusion, so that the second spring arm undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the pushing inertia of the second connector, the second spring arm disengages from the third protrusion and elastically presses against the third inclined surface. Subsequently, the second spring arm gradually resets along the inclined direction of the third inclined surface, so that the driving structure can continuously provide the moving part with the power to move along the first direction before the second spring arm disengages from the third inclined surface, thereby pushing the moving part to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector after being removed from the shielding part, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the second spring arm includes a second arm body disposed on the main body and a fourth pressing part protruding from the second arm body, wherein the fourth pressing part presses against the third pressing part.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic deformation amplitude of the second elastic arm is effectively increased, thereby effectively improving the power provided by the drive structure to the moving part, so as to ensure that the moving part can move to the preset position along the first direction, so that the identification part can be removed from the shield and exposed to the external environment of the connector, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the fourth pressing part includes a fourth protrusion and a fourth inclined surface. The fourth protrusion protrudes from the second arm body, and the fourth inclined surface is located on the side of the fourth protrusion facing away from the second connector and is connected between the second arm body and the end of the fourth protrusion facing away from the second arm body.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, under the pushing action of the second joint, the third pressing part first presses against the fourth inclined surface, so that the second elastic arm gradually undergoes elastic deformation along the inclination direction of the fourth inclined surface until the fourth protrusion presses against the third pressing part, so as to press the fourth protrusion against the third pressing part, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the moving part moving along the first direction.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the first elastic arm can press against the first groove wall after disengaging from the first pressing part, and / or the second elastic arm can press against the second groove wall after disengaging from the third pressing part.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, friction is generated between the moving part and the groove wall. This friction can overcome the weight of the moving part or other external forces acting on the moving part, so that the moving part can remain stationary at the preset position. This reduces the risk that the external device will be unable to identify the identification part due to the moving part deviating from the preset position, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connector.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the width of the main body is greater than the distance between the first pressing part and the third pressing part.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the risk of the moving part disengaging from the slide groove near the port of the second connector can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connector.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the third spring arm and the fifth pressing part are elastically pressed together, so that the third spring arm undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the pushing inertia of the second connector, the third spring arm disengages from the fifth pressing part, thereby pushing the movable part to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector from the shielding part, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the fifth pressing part is provided with a fifth inclined surface on the side facing the first groove wall. The fifth inclined surface is inclined away from the side of the main body facing the first groove wall and the third elastic arm is elastically pressed against the fifth inclined surface.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the third spring arm is elastically pressed against the fifth inclined surface, so that the third spring arm gradually resets along the inclination direction of the fifth inclined surface. This allows the drive structure to continuously provide the moving part with the power to move along the first direction before the third spring arm disengages from the fifth inclined surface, thereby pushing the moving part to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector after being removed from the shielding part, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the third spring arm includes a third arm body disposed on the first groove wall and a sixth pressing part protruding from the third arm body, the sixth pressing part pressing against the fifth pressing part.

[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, during the movement of the movable part along the first direction, the main body first presses against the sixth inclined surface, so that the third elastic arm gradually undergoes elastic deformation along the tilt direction of the sixth inclined surface until the fifth protrusion presses against the main body. As the movable part moves along the first direction, the fifth protrusion is pressed against the fifth pressing part, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable part along the first direction.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the first groove wall is recessed with a first cavity, and at least a portion of the third elastic arm is accommodated within the first cavity.

[0049] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector and the second connector are connected in place, the fourth spring arm is elastically pressed against the seventh inclined surface, so that the fourth spring arm gradually resets along the inclination direction of the seventh inclined surface. This allows the drive structure to continuously provide the moving part with the power to move along the first direction before the fourth spring arm disengages from the seventh inclined surface, thereby pushing the moving part to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector after being removed from the shield, or the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector through the identification window.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the fourth spring arm includes a fourth arm body disposed on the second groove wall and a seventh pressing part protruding from the fourth arm body, the seventh pressing part pressing against the fifth pressing part.

As the movable part moves along the first direction, the sixth protrusion is pressed against the fifth pressing part, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the movable part moving along the first direction.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the second groove wall is recessed with a second cavity, and at least a portion of the fourth elastic arm is accommodated within the second cavity.

[0055] By adopting the above technical solution, the width of the groove is effectively reduced, thereby making the structure of the shielding component more compact.

[0101] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0102] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0103] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application 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, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0104] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0105] Connectors, as connecting components, are used to connect two parts. For example, two pipes can be connected using a connector; or two cables can be connected using a connector. Specifically, a connector typically includes two joints, one for connecting to one component and the other for connecting to another component. By connecting the two joints, the two components can be connected. However, when connecting the two joints, it is easy for them to not be properly connected, resulting in the two components not being able to connect effectively.

[0106] In related technologies, connectors typically have identification marks to facilitate operators' judgment of whether the two connectors are properly connected. When the two connectors are not properly connected, at least part of the identification mark is obscured, preventing operators from seeing the complete mark and thus indicating a misconnection. When the two connectors are properly connected, the entire identification mark is visible, allowing operators to determine if the connectors are connected correctly. However, in actual use, because operators rely on visual inspection to determine connection, the identification mark is often partially visible when the connectors are not fully connected. This can easily lead to incorrect judgments of a proper connection, resulting in low accuracy.

[0107] To improve the accuracy of operators' judgment on whether the two connectors are properly connected, the connector provided in this application embodiment is equipped with an identification part and a blocking part. The identification part can be identified by an external device. When the first and second connectors are not properly connected, the blocking part blocks the identification part, and the external device cannot identify the identification part. When the first and second connectors are properly connected, the identification part can be exposed to the external environment of the connector, detached from the blocking part, or exposed to the external environment of the connector through an identification window opened in the blocking part. In this case, the external device can identify the identification part. In other words, when the external device cannot identify the identification part, it can be determined that the first and second connectors are not properly connected; when the external device can identify the identification part, it can be determined that the first and second connectors are properly connected. Thus, operators can accurately determine whether the first and second connectors of the connector are properly connected.

[0109] For ease of explanation, the following embodiments will use a vehicle as an example of an electrical device according to an embodiment of this application.

[0110] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application. A battery 100 is disposed inside the vehicle 1000, and the battery 100 can be located at the bottom, front, or rear of the vehicle 1000. The battery 100 can be used to power the vehicle 1000; for example, the battery 100 can serve as the operating power source for the vehicle 1000. The vehicle 1000 may also include a controller 200 and a motor 300. The controller 200 is used to control the battery 100 to supply power to the motor 300, for example, to meet the power requirements of the vehicle 1000 during startup, navigation, and driving.

[0111] In some embodiments of this application, the battery 100 can not only serve as the operating power source for the vehicle 1000, but also as the driving power source for the vehicle 1000, replacing or partially replacing fuel or natural gas to provide driving power for the vehicle 1000.

[0112] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is an exploded view of a battery 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. The battery 100 includes a cooling device 10, a housing 20, and battery cells 30, with the battery cells 30 housed within the housing 20. The housing 20 provides a space for the battery cells 30 and can have various structures. In some embodiments, the housing 20 may include a first portion 21 and a second portion 22, which overlap each other, jointly defining a space for accommodating the battery cells 30. The second portion 22 may be a hollow structure with one open end, and the first portion 21 may be a plate-like structure, covering the open side of the second portion 22 so that the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 jointly define the space. Alternatively, the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 may both be hollow structures with one open side, with the open side of the first portion 21 covering the open side of the second portion 22. Of course, the housing 20 formed by the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 can have various shapes, such as a cylinder, a cuboid, etc.

[0113] In some embodiments, the housing 20 may be part of the chassis structure of the vehicle 1000. For example, a portion of the housing 20 may be at least a portion of the floor of the vehicle 1000, or a portion of the housing 20 may be at least a portion of the crossbeams and longitudinal beams of the vehicle 1000.

[0114] Of course, in some embodiments, the battery 100 may not include the housing 20, but rather multiple battery cells 30 are electrically connected and assembled into the vehicle 1000 after being formed into a whole by necessary fixing structures.

[0115] In battery 100, there can be multiple battery cells 30, which can be connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed configuration. A mixed configuration means that multiple battery cells 30 are connected in both series and parallel connections. Multiple battery cells 30 can be directly connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed configuration, and then the entire assembly of the multiple battery cells 30 is housed within housing 20. Alternatively, battery 100 can also consist of multiple battery cells 30 first connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed configuration to form a battery module, and then multiple battery modules connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed configuration to form a whole, which is also housed within housing 20. Battery 100 may also include other functional components; for example, battery 100 may also include a busbar for electrical connection between multiple battery cells 30.

[0116] Each battery cell 30 can be a secondary battery or a primary battery. A secondary battery is one that can be recharged to activate its active materials and continue to be used after being discharged. A primary battery is one that cannot be recharged to activate its active materials and continue to be used after its electrical energy is depleted. The battery cell 30 can also be a lithium-ion battery, sodium-ion battery, sodium-lithium-ion battery, lithium metal battery, sodium metal battery, lithium-sulfur battery, magnesium-ion battery, nickel-metal hydride battery, nickel-cadmium battery, lead-acid battery, etc., but is not limited to these. The battery cell 30 can be a cylindrical battery cell, a prismatic battery cell, a pouch battery cell, or a battery cell of other shapes. Prismatic battery cells include prismatic battery cells, blade-shaped battery cells, and multi-prismatic batteries, such as hexagonal prismatic batteries, etc. This application does not have any particular limitations.

[0117] The cooling device 10 is used to cool the battery cell 30. The cooling device 10 can be entirely or partially housed within the housing 20. The cooling device 10 may include a first pipe 12, a second pipe 13, and a connector 11. The first pipe 12 and the second pipe 13 are connected by the connector 11 to form a flow path for the cooling medium. The cooling device 10 may also include a power pump to provide power for the cooling medium to flow along the aforementioned flow path.

[0118] To illustrate the technical solutions provided in this application, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.

[0119] Firstly, please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 This application provides a connector 11, including a first connector 111, a second connector 112, an identification part 113, and a blocking member 114. The second connector 112 is connected to the first connector 111. The identification part 113 is used for identification by an external device. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected in place, the blocking member 114 blocks the identification part 113. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 detached from the blocking member 114, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through an identification window opened in the blocking member.

[0120] The first connector 111 is used to connect to one component, and the second connector 112 is used to connect to another component. For example, the first connector 111 is connected to the port of the first tube 12, and the second connector 112 is connected to the port of the second tube 13. Specifically, the first connector 111 has a first connecting end and a second connecting end, the first connecting end being connected to the port of the first tube 12, and the second connector 112 has a third connecting end and a fourth connecting end, the third connecting end being connected to the port of the first tube 12, and the second connecting end and the fourth connecting end being connected. The connection method between the second connecting end and the fourth connecting end can be, but is not limited to, a snap-fit ​​connection, a threaded connection, a plug-in connection, etc., and is not specifically limited here. In some embodiments, the connector 11 may also include a sealing element, which is disposed between the second connecting end and the fourth connecting end to seal the gap between the second connecting end and the fourth connecting end.

[0121] The connection of the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 into place means that the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected until a specific part of the first connector 111 and a specific part of the second connector 112 are adapted to each other. For example, if the first connector 111 has a first end face and the second connector 112 has a second end face, then during the connection process, when the first end face of the first connector 111 and the second end face of the second connector 112 are in contact, the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected into place; otherwise, the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected into place. As another example, if the first connector 111 has a groove and the second connector 112 has a flange, then during the connection process, when the flange of the second connector 112 engages with the groove of the first connector 111, the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected into place; otherwise, the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected into place.

[0122] The identification unit 113 is used for identification by an external device. The identification unit 113 can be disposed on the first connector 111, the second connector 112, or other carriers. In some embodiments, the identification unit 113 can be a digital identifier containing product information of the connector 11, such as a QR code, barcode, or 3D code. Understandably, when the identification unit 113 is a QR code, the external device is a QR code reader; when the identification unit 113 is a barcode, the external device is a barcode reader; and when the identification unit 113 is a 3D code, the external device is a 3D code reader. Of course, in other embodiments, the identification unit 113 can also be a specific graphic identifier or an identifier combining graphics and color, such as a red circle or a green square. Understandably, when the identification unit 113 is a graphic identifier or an identifier combining graphics and color, the external device can be a CCD (charge-coupled device) camera.

[0123] The shielding member 114 is a component used to shield the identification part 113. The shielding member 114 can be disposed on the first connector 111, the second connector 112, or other carriers. In some embodiments, the shielding member 114 can be a hollow structure, with the identification part 113 disposed inside the shielding member 114, so that the shielding member 114 shields the identification part 113. In other embodiments, the shielding member 114 can be a solid component, covering the identification part 113, so that the shielding member 114 shields the identification part 113. Understandably, in order for the identification part 113 to be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, the identification part 113 and the shielding member 114 can move relative to each other. For example, the shielding member 114 may remain stationary while the identification part 113 may move relative to the shielding member 114; conversely, the identification part 113 may remain stationary while the shielding member 114 may move relative to the identification part 113.

[0124] In some embodiments, the identification part 113 can be completely detached from the shielding member 114, allowing the identification part 113 to be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11. For example, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the entire identification part 113 is outside the shielding area of ​​the shielding member 114, allowing the identification part 113 to be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11. As another example, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected in place, the operator cannot remove the identification part 113; when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the operator can remove the identification part 113 outside the shielding area of ​​the shielding member 114, allowing the identification part 113 to be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11.

[0125] In other embodiments, the shielding member 114 has an identification window. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected in place, at least a portion of the identification part 113 is within the shielding range of the shielding member 114. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the entire identification part 113 is within the coverage range of the identification window, so that the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11.

[0126] The connector 11 provided in this embodiment of the application is configured with an identification part 113 and a blocking member 114, so that the identification part 113 can be identified by an external device. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected in place, the blocking member 114 blocks the identification part 113. At this time, the external device cannot identify the identification part 113. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, detached from the blocking member 114. Alternatively, the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window opened in the blocking member. At this time, the external device can identify the identification part 113. In other words, when the external device cannot identify the identification part 113, it can be determined that the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected in place. When the external device can identify the identification part 113, it can be determined that the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place. In this way, the staff can accurately determine whether the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 of the connector 11 are connected in place, so that the staff can rework the connector 11 in a timely manner if the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 of the connector 11 are not connected in place, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the connector 11.

[0127] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figures 3 to 5 The connector 11 also includes a movable member 115, on which an identification portion 113 is disposed. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second connector 112 pushes the movable member 115 to move in a first direction, so that the identification portion 113 can be removed from the shield 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification portion 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through an identification window. The first direction is the direction from the second connector 112 to the first connector 111. Figure 4 Y direction shown.

[0128] The movable member 115 serves as the carrier of the identification unit 113 and is capable of relative movement with the blocking member 114. In other words, in this embodiment, the blocking member 114 remains stationary, while the identification unit 113 is disposed on the movable member 115 and moves with the movable member 115, thereby achieving relative movement between the identification unit 113 and the blocking member 114. Optionally, the movable member 115 can be, but is not limited to, a plate-shaped member, a column-shaped member, etc., and is not specifically limited here. The material of the movable member 115 can be metal, plastic, glass, wood, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0129] During the connection of the second connector 112 and the first connector 111, the second connector 112 pushes the movable member 115 to move along the first direction. In some embodiments, during the connection of the second connector 112 and the first connector 111, the second connector 112 always remains in contact with the movable member 115. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second connector 112 pushes the movable member 115 to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shield 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window. In other embodiments, during the connection of the second connector 112 and the first connector 111, the second connector 112 pushes against the movable member 115 to provide primary power for the movable member 115 to move in the first direction. The movable member 115 can move in the first direction. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, secondary power is provided by other driving structures for the movable member 115 to move in the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shield 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0130] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second connector 112 pushes the movable member 115 to move along the first direction. At this time, the movable member 115 moves along the first direction to a preset position so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shielding member 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window, so that the external device can identify the identification part 113.

[0131] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The connector 11 has a groove 1141 extending along a first direction, and the movable member 115 is slidably disposed in the groove 1141.

[0132] The slide groove 1141 is used to limit the movement path of the movable part 115. The slide groove 1141 can be provided on the shield 114. When the shield 114 is provided on the first connector 111, the slide groove 1141 can also be provided on the first connector 111, or it can be provided between the shield 114 and the first connector 111.

[0133] The movable part 115 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 1141, which means that the movable part 115 is disposed in the slide groove 1141 and can move in the first direction within the slide groove 1141.

[0134] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement direction of the movable part 115 is effectively restricted, thereby effectively improving the stability of the movement of the movable part 115.

[0135] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figures 3 to 7 A drive structure is provided between the groove wall of the slide 1141 and the movable member 115. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second connector 112 pushes against the movable member 115 to trigger the drive structure. The drive structure provides the power for the movable member 115 to move in the first direction so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shield 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0136] The drive structure is used to provide secondary power for the movable part 115 to move along the first direction. In other words, in this embodiment, during the connection of the second connector 112 and the first connector 111, the second connector 112 pushes against the movable part 115 to provide primary power for the movable part 115 to move along the first direction. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the movable part 115 moves to the trigger position of the drive structure. After the drive structure is triggered, the drive structure provides secondary power for the movable part 115 to move along the first direction, so that the movable part 115 continues to move along the first direction to a preset position, thereby enabling the identification part 113 to be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 after being removed from the shield 114, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0137] In some embodiments, the driving structure is an elastic structure, that is, when the driving structure is triggered, it generates an elastic force acting on the movable member 115 to drive the movable member 115 to continue moving along the first direction.

[0138] In other embodiments, the driving structure is a magnetic structure, that is, when the driving structure is triggered, it generates a magnetic force acting on the movable member 115 to drive the movable member 115 to continue moving along the first direction.

[0139] In some other embodiments, the driving structure is an electric driving structure, that is, when the driving structure is triggered and energized, it generates power acting on the movable member 115 to drive the movable member 115 to continue moving along the first direction.

[0140] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second connector 112 pushes against the movable member 115 to trigger the drive structure. Under the driving action of the drive structure, the movable member 115 can move along the first direction. When the drive structure is triggered, the operator can initially determine that the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place. When the movable member 115 moves to the preset position along the first direction, the identification part 113 can be removed from the shield 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11. Alternatively, the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window. The external device can identify the identification part 113, and the operator can further determine that the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, thereby further improving the accuracy of the operator's judgment on whether the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place.

[0141] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figures 4 to 7 The slide 1141 has a first groove wall 11411, and a first pressing part 1142 protrudes from the first groove wall 11411. The movable part 115 includes a main body 1151 and a first spring arm 1152. The identification part 113 is disposed on the main body 1151, and the first spring arm 1152 is disposed on one end of the main body 1151 near the second connector 112. The first spring arm 1152 and the first pressing part 1142 are elastically pressed together to form a driving structure.

[0142] The first groove wall 11411 can be any groove wall of the slide 1141, such as the left side wall, the right side wall, the bottom wall, or the top wall of the slide 1141, etc., without specific limitations.

[0143] The first pressing part 1142 is a part used to elastically press against the first spring arm 1152. The first pressing part 1142 extends from the wall surface of the first groove wall 11411 toward the moving part 115 (e.g., Figure 4 The X-direction shown is a protruding setting.

[0144] The main body 1151 is the main part of the movable part 115, which provides connection space for the first spring arm 1152 and other parts of the movable part 115.

[0145] The first elastic arm 1152 is a part that can elastically deform and generate elastic force after being elastically pressed against the first pressing part 1142. One end of the first elastic arm 1152 is connected to the end of the main body 1151 near the second connector 112, and the other end of the first elastic arm 1152 is used to contact the second connector 112. In other words, during the process of connecting the second connector 112 and the first connector 111, the second connector 112 pushes the end of the first elastic arm 1152 away from the main body 1151, so that the movable member 115 moves in the first direction.

[0146] In some embodiments, the main body 1151 and the first spring arm 1152 can be integrally formed, for example, by injection molding. In other embodiments, the main body 1151 and the first spring arm 1152 can be separately connected, for example, by fasteners such as screws or rivets.

[0147] The first elastic arm 1152 and the first pressing part 1142 are elastically pressed together to form a driving structure. In other words, in this embodiment, the driving structure is an elastic structure. The first elastic arm 1152 is elastically pressed together with the first pressing part 1142 so that the first elastic arm 1152 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force.

[0148] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the first spring arm 1152 is elastically pressed against the first pressing part 1142, so that the first spring arm 1152 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the pushing inertia of the second connector 112, the first spring arm 1152 disengages from the first pressing part 1142, thereby pushing the movable part 115 to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 after being removed from the shielding part 114, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0149] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 4 and Figure 7 The first pressing part 1142 includes a first protrusion 11421 and a first inclined surface 11422. The first protrusion 11421 protrudes from the first groove wall 11411. The first inclined surface 11422 is located on the side of the first protrusion 11421 facing away from the second connector 112 and is connected between the first groove wall 11411 and the end of the first protrusion 11421 facing away from the first groove wall 11411. The first protrusion 11421 and the first inclined surface 11422 are elastically pressed against the first elastic arm 1152 in sequence along the first direction.

[0150] The first protrusion 11421 is the main body of the first pressing part 1142. The first protrusion 11421 extends from the wall surface of the first groove wall 11411 toward the direction close to the movable member 115 (e.g. Figure 4 The X-direction shown is a protruding setting.

[0151] The first inclined surface 11422 is the portion of the first pressing part 1142 used to connect the wall surface of the first groove wall 11411 with the end of the first protrusion 11421 facing away from the first groove wall 11411. The first inclined surface 11422 is located on the side of the first protrusion 11421 facing away from the second connector 112; in other words, the first protrusion 11421 and the first inclined surface 11422 are along a first direction (e.g., Figure 4 The first elastic arm 1152 is arranged sequentially in the Y direction as shown, so that when the first elastic arm 1152 moves along the first direction, it first presses against the first protrusion 11421 and then against the first inclined surface 11422.

[0152] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the first spring arm 1152 first elastically presses against the first protrusion 11421, so that the first spring arm 1152 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the pushing inertia of the second connector 112, the first spring arm 1152 disengages from the first protrusion 11421 and elastically presses against the first inclined surface 11422. Subsequently, the first spring arm 1152 gradually resets along the inclined direction of the first inclined surface 11422, so that the driving structure can continuously provide the moving part 115 with the power to move along the first direction before the first spring arm 1152 disengages from the first inclined surface 11422, thereby pushing the moving part 115 to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 after disengaging from the shield 114, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0153] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first spring arm 1152 includes a first arm body 11521 disposed on the main body 1151 and a second pressing part 11522 protruding from the first arm body 11521, the second pressing part 11522 pressing against the first pressing part 1142.

[0154] The first arm body 11521 is the main body of the first spring arm 1152. One end of the first arm body 11521 is connected to the end of the main body 1151 near the second connector 112, and the other end of the first arm body 11521 is used to contact the second connector 112.

[0155] The second pressing part 11522 is the part of the first elastic arm 1152 used to press against the first pressing part 1142. When the second pressing part 11522 presses against the first pressing part 1142, the first arm body 11521 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force.

[0156] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic deformation amplitude of the first elastic arm 1152 is effectively increased, thereby effectively improving the power provided by the drive structure to the movable part 115, so as to ensure that the movable part 115 can move to the preset position along the first direction, so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shielding part 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0157] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 The second pressing part 11522 includes a second protrusion 11523 and a second inclined surface 11524. The second protrusion 11523 protrudes from the first arm body 11521, and the second inclined surface 11524 is located on the side of the second protrusion 11523 facing away from the second connector 112 and is connected between the first arm body 11521 and the end of the second protrusion 11523 facing away from the first arm body 11521.

[0158] The second protrusion 11523 is the main part of the second pressing part 11522. The second protrusion 11523 protrudes from the first arm body 11521 toward the first groove wall 11411.

[0159] The second inclined surface 11524 is the portion of the second pressing part 11522 used to connect the first arm body 11521 and the end of the second protrusion 11523 facing away from the first arm body 11521. The second inclined surface 11524 is located on the side of the second protrusion 11523 facing away from the second connector 112. In other words, the second protrusion 11523 and the second inclined surface 11524 are along a first direction (e.g., Figure 4 As shown in the Y direction, the parts are arranged sequentially. During the movement of the movable part 115 along the first direction, the first pressing part 1142 first presses against the second inclined surface 11524, and then presses against the second protrusion 11523.

[0160] By adopting the above technical solution, under the pushing action of the second joint 112, the first pressing part 1142 first presses against the second inclined surface 11524, so that the first elastic arm 1152 gradually undergoes elastic deformation along the inclination direction of the second inclined surface 11524 until the second protrusion 11523 presses against the first pressing part 1142, so as to press the second protrusion 11523 against the first pressing part 1142, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable part 115 along the first direction.

[0161] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figures 4 to 7 The slide 1141 has a second groove wall 11412 that is opposite to the first groove wall 11411. A third pressing part 1143 protrudes from the second groove wall 11412. The movable member 115 also includes a second spring arm 1153. The second spring arm 1153 is disposed opposite to the first spring arm 1152 and is disposed at one end of the main body 1151 near the second connector 112. The first spring arm 1152 is elastically pressed against the first pressing part 1142 and the second spring arm 1153 is elastically pressed against the third pressing part 1143 to form a driving structure.

[0162] The second groove wall 11412 is disposed opposite to the first groove wall 11411. In other words, when the first groove wall 11411 is the left side wall of the slide 1141, the second groove wall 11412 is the right side wall of the slide 1141. When the first groove wall 11411 is the bottom wall of the slide 1141, the second groove wall 11412 is the top wall of the slide 1141.

[0163] The third pressing part 1143 is a part used to elastically press against the second spring arm 1153. The third pressing part 1143 protrudes from the wall surface of the second groove wall 11412 toward the moving part 115.

[0164] The second elastic arm 1153 is a part that can elastically deform and generate elastic force after being elastically pressed against the third pressing part 1143. One end of the second elastic arm 1153 is connected to the end of the main body 1151 near the second connector 112. The other end of the second elastic arm 1153 can be used to contact the second connector 112 or not. In other words, during the connection between the second connector 112 and the first connector 111, the second connector 112 can only push against the end of the first elastic arm 1152 away from the main body 1151 to make the movable member 115 move in the first direction. Alternatively, the second connector 112 can simultaneously push against the end of the first elastic arm 1152 away from the main body 1151 and the end of the second elastic arm 1153 away from the main body 1151 to make the movable member 115 move in the first direction.

[0165] In some embodiments, the main body 1151, the first spring arm 1152, and the second spring arm 1153 can be integrally formed, for example, by injection molding. In other embodiments, the main body 1151, the first spring arm 1152, and the second spring arm 1153 can be separately connected, for example, by fasteners such as screws or rivets connecting the first spring arm 1152 and the second spring arm 1153 to the main body 1151.

[0166] The first elastic arm 1152 is elastically pressed against the first pressing part 1142, and the second elastic arm 1153 is elastically pressed against the third pressing part 1143 to form a driving structure. In other words, in this embodiment, the driving structure is an elastic structure. The first elastic arm 1152 is elastically pressed against the first pressing part 1142 to cause the first elastic arm 1152 to undergo elastic deformation and generate elastic force. The second elastic arm 1153 is elastically pressed against the third pressing part 1143 to cause the second elastic arm 1153 to undergo elastic deformation and generate elastic force. The two elastic forces are superimposed on the movable member 115 to make the movable member 115 move along the first direction.

[0167] By adopting the above technical solution, the forces on the two sides of the movable part 115 are more balanced, effectively reducing the tilt amplitude of the movable part 115 relative to the first direction, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable part 115, and at the same time effectively improving the power provided by the drive structure to the movable part 115, so as to ensure that the movable part 115 can move to the preset position along the first direction.

[0168] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 4 and Figure 7 The third pressing part 1143 includes a third protrusion 11431 and a third inclined surface 11432. The third protrusion 11431 protrudes from the second groove wall 11412, and the third inclined surface 11432 is located on the side of the third protrusion 11431 facing away from the second connector 112 and is connected between the second groove wall 11412 and the end of the third protrusion 11431 facing away from the second groove wall 11412. The third protrusion 11431 and the third inclined surface 11432 are elastically pressed against the second spring arm 1153 in sequence along the first direction.

[0169] The third protrusion 11431 is the main part of the third pressing part 1143. The third protrusion 11431 protrudes from the wall surface of the second groove wall 11412 toward the direction close to the movable member 115.

[0170] The third inclined surface 11432 is the portion of the third pressing part 1143 used to connect the wall surface of the second groove wall 11412 with the end of the third protrusion 11431 facing away from the second groove wall 11412. The third inclined surface 11432 is located on the side of the third protrusion 11431 facing away from the second connector 112; in other words, the third protrusion 11431 and the third inclined surface 11432 are along a first direction (e.g., Figure 4 The second spring arm 1153 is arranged sequentially in the Y direction as shown, so that during the movement of the second spring arm 1153 along the first direction, it first presses against the third protrusion 11431 and then against the third inclined surface 11432.

[0171] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second spring arm 1153 first elastically presses against the third protrusion 11431, so that the second spring arm 1153 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the pushing inertia of the second connector 112, the second spring arm 1153 disengages from the third protrusion 11431 and elastically presses against the third inclined surface 11432. Subsequently, the second spring arm 1153 gradually resets along the inclined direction of the third inclined surface 11432, so that the driving structure can continuously provide the moving part 115 with the power to move along the first direction before the second spring arm 1153 disengages from the third inclined surface 11432, thereby pushing the moving part 115 to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 after disengaging from the shield 114, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0172] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second spring arm 1153 includes a second arm body 11531 disposed on the main body 1151 and a fourth pressing part 11532 protruding from the second arm body 11531, the fourth pressing part 11532 pressing against the third pressing part 1143.

[0173] The second arm 11531 is the main body of the second spring arm 1153. One end of the second arm 11531 is connected to the end of the main body 1151 near the second connector 112. The other end of the second arm 11531 can be used to contact the second connector 112 or not.

[0174] The fourth pressing part 11532 is the part of the second elastic arm 1153 used to press against the third pressing part 1143. When the fourth pressing part 11532 presses against the third pressing part 1143, the second arm body 11531 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force.

[0175] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic deformation amplitude of the second spring arm 1153 is effectively increased, thereby effectively improving the power provided by the drive structure to the movable part 115, so as to ensure that the movable part 115 can move to the preset position along the first direction, so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shielding part 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0176] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5The fourth pressing part 11532 includes a fourth protrusion 11533 and a fourth inclined surface 11534. The fourth protrusion 11533 protrudes from the second arm body 11531, and the fourth inclined surface 11534 is located on the side of the fourth protrusion 11533 facing away from the second connector 112 and is connected between the second arm body 11531 and the end of the fourth protrusion 11533 facing away from the second arm body 11531.

[0177] The fourth protrusion 11533 is the main part of the fourth pressing part 11532. The fourth protrusion 11533 protrudes from the second arm body 11531 toward the direction close to the second groove wall 11412.

[0178] The fourth inclined surface 11534 is the portion of the fourth pressing part 11532 used to connect the second arm body 11531 and the end of the fourth protrusion 11533 facing away from the second arm body 11531. The fourth inclined surface 11534 is located on the side of the fourth protrusion 11533 facing away from the second connector 112; in other words, the fourth protrusion 11533 and the fourth inclined surface 11534 are along a first direction (e.g., Figure 4 As shown in the Y direction, the parts are arranged sequentially. During the movement of the movable part 115 along the first direction, the third pressing part 1143 first presses against the fourth inclined surface 11534, and then presses against the fourth protrusion 11533.

[0179] By adopting the above technical solution, under the pushing action of the second joint 112, the third pressing part 1143 first presses against the fourth inclined surface 11534, so that the second elastic arm 1153 gradually undergoes elastic deformation along the inclination direction of the fourth inclined surface 11534 until the fourth protrusion 11533 presses against the third pressing part 1143, so as to press the fourth protrusion 11533 against the third pressing part 1143, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable part 115 along the first direction.

[0180] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The first spring arm 1152 can press against the first groove wall 11411 after disengaging from the first pressing part 1142.

[0181] After the first spring arm 1152 disengages from the first pressing part 1142, the first spring arm 1152 presses against the first groove wall 11411. In other words, after the first spring arm 1152 disengages from the first pressing part 1142, friction is generated between the first spring arm 1152 and the first groove wall 11411. It can be understood that when the first spring arm 1152 includes a first arm body 11521 and a second pressing part 11522, the second pressing part 11522 presses against the first groove wall 11411 to generate friction between the first spring arm 1152 and the first groove wall 11411. This friction is greater than the weight of the movable member 115, so that when the movable member 115 reaches a preset position, the movable member 115 can remain stationary at that preset position.

[0182] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The second spring arm 1153 can press against the second groove wall 11412 after disengaging from the third pressing part 1143.

[0183] After the second spring arm 1153 disengages from the third pressing part 1143, the second spring arm 1153 presses against the second groove wall 11412. In other words, after the second spring arm 1153 disengages from the third pressing part 1143, friction is generated between the second spring arm 1153 and the second groove wall 11412. It can be understood that when the second spring arm 1153 includes the second arm body 11531 and the fourth pressing part 11532, the fourth pressing part 11532 presses against the second groove wall 11412 to generate friction between the second spring arm 1153 and the second groove wall 11412. This friction is greater than the weight of the movable member 115, so that when the movable member 115 reaches a preset position, the movable member 115 can remain stationary at that preset position.

[0184] In some other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The first spring arm 1152 can press against the first groove wall 11411 after disengaging from the first pressing part 1142, and the second spring arm 1153 can press against the second groove wall 11412 after disengaging from the third pressing part 1143.

[0185] After the first spring arm 1152 disengages from the first pressing part 1142, the first spring arm 1152 presses against the first groove wall 11411. In other words, after the first spring arm 1152 disengages from the first pressing part 1142, friction is generated between the first spring arm 1152 and the first groove wall 11411. Similarly, after the second spring arm 1153 disengages from the third pressing part 1143, the second spring arm 1153 presses against the second groove wall 11412. In other words, after the second spring arm 1153 disengages from the third pressing part 1143, friction is generated between the second spring arm 1153 and the second groove wall 11412. The sum of the friction between the first spring arm 1152 and the first groove wall 11411 and the friction between the second spring arm 1153 and the second groove wall 11412 is greater than the weight of the movable member 115, so that when the movable member 115 reaches the preset position, the movable member 115 can remain stationary at the preset position.

[0186] By adopting the above technical solution, friction is generated between the movable part 115 and the groove wall of the slide 1141. This friction can overcome the gravity of the movable part 115 or other external forces acting on the movable part 115, so that the movable part 115 can remain stationary in the preset position. This reduces the risk that the external device will be unable to identify the identification part 113 due to the movable part 115 deviating from the preset position, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connector 11.

[0187] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The width W1 of the main body 1151 is greater than the distance W2 between the first pressing part 1142 and the third pressing part 1143.

[0188] Understandably, the width W1 of the main body 1151 refers to the dimension of the main body 1151 along the second direction, and the distance W2 between the first pressing part 1142 and the third pressing part 1143 refers to the distance between the first pressing part 1142 and the third pressing part 1143 along the second direction, wherein the second direction is a direction perpendicular to the first direction, for example... Figure 4 The X direction is shown.

[0189] By adopting the above technical solution, the risk of the movable part 115 disengaging from the slide groove 1141 near the port of the second connector 112 via the slide groove 1141 can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connector 11.

[0190] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The slide 1141 has a first groove wall 11411, and a third spring arm 1144 is provided on the first groove wall 11411. The movable member 115 includes a main body 1151 and a fifth pressing part 1154. The identification part 113 is disposed on the main body 1151, and the fifth pressing part 1154 is disposed on one end of the main body 1151 near the second connector 112. The third spring arm 1144 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together to form a driving structure.

[0191] The first groove wall 11411 can be any groove wall of the slide 1141, such as the left side wall, the right side wall, the bottom wall, or the top wall of the slide 1141, etc., without specific limitations.

[0192] The third elastic arm 1144 is a component that can elastically deform and generate elastic force after being elastically pressed against the fifth pressing part 1154. One end of the third elastic arm 1144 is connected to the first groove wall 11411, and the other end of the third elastic arm 1144 is used to press against the fifth pressing part 1154.

[0193] The main body 1151 is the main part of the movable member 115, and is used to provide connection space for the fifth pressing part 1154 and other parts of the movable member 115.

[0194] The fifth pressing part 1154 is used to elastically press against the third spring arm 1144. One end of the fifth pressing part 1154 is connected to the main body 1151, and the other end is used to contact the second connector 112. In other words, during the connection between the second connector 112 and the first connector 111, the second connector 112 pushes against the end of the fifth pressing part 1154 away from the main body 1151, so that the movable member 115 moves along the first direction. During the movement of the movable member 115 along the first direction, the third spring arm 1144 can first press against the main body 1151, and then press against the fifth pressing part 1154.

[0195] In some embodiments, the main body 1151 and the fifth pressing part 1154 may be integrally formed, for example, by injection molding. In other embodiments, the main body 1151 and the fifth pressing part 1154 may be separately connected, for example, by fasteners such as screws or rivets.

[0196] The third elastic arm 1144 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together to form a driving structure. In other words, in this embodiment, the driving structure is an elastic structure. The third elastic arm 1144 is elastically pressed together with the fifth pressing part 1154 so that the third elastic arm 1144 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force.

[0197] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the third spring arm 1144 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together, so that the third spring arm 1144 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force. Under the combined action of the elastic force and the pushing inertia of the second connector 112, the third spring arm 1144 disengages from the fifth pressing part 1154, thereby pushing the movable part 115 to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 after being removed from the shielding part 114, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0198] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 The fifth pressing part 1154 has a fifth inclined surface 11541 on the side facing the first groove wall 11411. The fifth inclined surface 11541 is inclined away from the first groove wall 11411 from the side of the main body 1151 facing the first groove wall 11411. The third elastic arm 1144 is elastically pressed against the fifth inclined surface 11541.

[0199] In other words, in the first direction, the width of the fifth pressing part 1154 gradually increases. The deformation of the third spring arm 1144 is greatest when the third spring arm 1144 presses against the end of the fifth pressing part 1154 near the main body part 1151, and the deformation of the third spring arm 1144 is smallest when the third spring arm 1144 presses against the end of the fifth pressing part 1154 near the second connector 112.

[0200] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the third spring arm 1144 and the fifth inclined surface 11541 are elastically pressed together, so that the third spring arm 1144 gradually resets along the inclination direction of the fifth inclined surface 11541. This allows the drive structure to continuously provide the moving part 115 with the power to move along the first direction before the third spring arm 1144 disengages from the fifth inclined surface 11541, thereby pushing the moving part 115 to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 after being removed from the shield 114, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0201] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The third spring arm 1144 includes a third arm body 11441 disposed on the first groove wall 11411 and a sixth pressing part 11442 protruding from the third arm body 11441, the sixth pressing part 11442 pressing against the fifth pressing part 1154.

[0202] The third arm 11441 is the main body of the third spring arm 1144, and one end of the third arm 11441 is connected to the first groove wall 11411.

[0203] The sixth pressing part 11442 is the part of the third elastic arm 1144 used to press against the fifth pressing part 1154. The sixth pressing part 11442 is provided at the end of the third arm body 11441 away from the first groove wall 11411. When the sixth pressing part 11442 presses against the fifth pressing part 1154, the third arm body 11441 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force.

[0204] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic deformation amplitude of the third spring arm 1144 is effectively increased, thereby effectively improving the power provided by the drive structure to the movable part 115, so as to ensure that the movable part 115 can move to the preset position along the first direction, so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shielding part 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0205] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9The sixth pressing part 11442 includes a fifth protrusion 11443 and a sixth inclined surface 11444. The fifth protrusion 11443 protrudes from the third arm body 11441, and the sixth inclined surface 11444 is located on the side of the fifth protrusion 11443 facing the second connector 112 and is connected between the third arm body 11441 and the end of the fifth protrusion 11443 facing away from the third arm body 11441.

[0206] The fifth protrusion 11443 is the main part of the sixth pressing part 11442. The fifth protrusion 11443 protrudes from the third arm 11441 toward the moving part 115.

[0207] The sixth inclined surface 11444 is the portion of the sixth pressing part 11442 used to connect the third arm body 11441 and the end of the fifth protrusion 11443 facing away from the third arm body 11441. The sixth inclined surface 11444 is located on the side of the fifth protrusion 11443 facing the second connector 112; in other words, the sixth inclined surface 11444 and the fifth protrusion 11443 are along a first direction (e.g., Figure 4 Arranged sequentially in the Y direction (as shown).

[0208] By adopting the above technical solution, during the movement of the movable part 115 along the first direction, the main body 1151 first presses against the sixth inclined surface 11444, so that the third elastic arm 1144 gradually undergoes elastic deformation along the inclination direction of the sixth inclined surface 11444 until the fifth protrusion 11443 presses against the main body 1151. As the movable part 115 moves along the first direction, the fifth protrusion 11443 is pressed against the fifth pressing part 1154, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable part 115 along the first direction.

[0209] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 The first groove wall 11411 is recessed with a first cavity 11413, and at least a portion of the third spring arm 1144 is accommodated in the first cavity 11413.

[0210] The first cavity 11413 is used to accommodate at least a portion of the third spring arm 1144. For example, the portion of the third spring arm 1144 connected to the first groove wall 11411 is accommodated within the first cavity 11413. Understandably, the portion of the third spring arm 1144 that presses against the fifth pressing portion 1154 extends out of the first cavity 11413. Optionally, the first cavity 11413 can be a recess formed by the wall surface of the first groove wall 11411 recessed in a direction away from the movable member 115, or it can be a through cavity penetrating the first groove wall 11411; no specific limitation is made here.

[0211] By adopting the above technical solution, the width of the slide groove 1141 is effectively reduced, thereby making the structure of the shield 114 more compact.

[0212] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The slide 1141 has a second groove wall 11412 disposed opposite to the first groove wall 11411. A fourth elastic arm 1145 is provided on the second groove wall 11412. The third elastic arm 1144 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together, and the fourth elastic arm 1145 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together to form a drive structure.

[0213] The second groove wall 11412 is disposed opposite to the first groove wall 11411. In other words, when the first groove wall 11411 is the left side wall of the slide 1141, the second groove wall 11412 is the right side wall of the slide 1141. When the first groove wall 11411 is the bottom wall of the slide 1141, the second groove wall 11412 is the top wall of the slide 1141.

[0214] The fourth elastic arm 1145 is a component that can elastically deform and generate elastic force after being elastically pressed against the fifth pressing part 1154. One end of the fourth elastic arm 1145 is connected to the second groove wall 11412, and the other end of the fourth elastic arm 1145 is used to press against the fifth pressing part 1154.

[0215] The third elastic arm 1144 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together, and the fourth elastic arm 1145 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together to form a driving structure. In other words, in this embodiment, the driving structure is an elastic structure. The third elastic arm 1144 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together to cause the third elastic arm 1144 to undergo elastic deformation and generate elastic force. The fourth elastic arm 1145 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are elastically pressed together to cause the fourth elastic arm 1145 to undergo elastic deformation and generate elastic force. The two elastic forces are superimposed and act on the movable member 115 to make the movable member 115 move along the first direction.

[0216] By adopting the above technical solution, the forces on the two sides of the movable part 115 are more balanced, effectively reducing the tilt amplitude of the movable part 115 relative to the first direction, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable part 115, and at the same time effectively improving the power provided by the drive structure to the movable part 115, so as to ensure that the movable part 115 can move to the preset position along the first direction.

[0217] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 The fifth pressing part 1154 has a seventh inclined surface 11542 on the side facing the second groove wall 11412. The seventh inclined surface 11542 is inclined away from the second groove wall 11412 from the side of the main body 1151 facing the second groove wall 11412. The fourth elastic arm 1145 is elastically pressed against the seventh inclined surface 11542.

[0218] In other words, in the first direction, the width of the fifth pressing part 1154 gradually increases. When the fourth spring arm 1145 presses against the end of the fifth pressing part 1154 near the main body 1151, the deformation of the fourth spring arm 1145 is the largest. When the fourth spring arm 1145 presses against the end of the fifth pressing part 1154 near the second connector 112, the deformation of the fourth spring arm 1145 is the smallest.

[0219] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the fourth spring arm 1145 and the seventh inclined surface 11542 are elastically pressed together, so that the fourth spring arm 1145 gradually resets along the inclination direction of the seventh inclined surface 11542. This allows the drive structure to continuously provide the moving part 115 with the power to move along the first direction before the fourth spring arm 1145 disengages from the seventh inclined surface 11542, thereby pushing the moving part 115 to move along the first direction to a preset position, so that the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 after being removed from the shield 114, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0220] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The fourth spring arm 1145 includes a fourth arm body 11451 disposed on the second groove wall 11412 and a seventh pressing part 11452 protruding from the fourth arm body 11451, the seventh pressing part 11452 pressing against the fifth pressing part 1154.

[0221] The fourth arm body 11451 is the main body of the fourth spring arm 1145, and one end of the fourth arm body 11451 is connected to the second groove wall 11412.

[0222] The seventh pressing part 11452 is the part of the fourth elastic arm 1145 that is used to press against the fifth pressing part 1154. The seventh pressing part 11452 is provided at the end of the fourth arm body 11451 away from the second groove wall 11412. When the seventh pressing part 11452 and the fifth pressing part 1154 are pressed against each other, the fourth arm body 11451 undergoes elastic deformation and generates elastic force.

[0223] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic deformation amplitude of the fourth elastic arm 1145 is effectively increased, thereby effectively improving the power provided by the drive structure to the movable part 115, so as to ensure that the movable part 115 can move to the preset position along the first direction, so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shielding part 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window.

[0224] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9The seventh pressing part 11452 includes a sixth protrusion 11453 and an eighth inclined surface 11454. The sixth protrusion 11453 protrudes from the fourth arm body 11451, and the eighth inclined surface 11454 is located on the side of the sixth protrusion 11453 facing the second connector 112 and is connected between the fourth arm body 11451 and the end of the sixth protrusion 11453 facing away from the fourth arm body 11451.

[0225] The sixth protrusion 11453 is the main part of the seventh pressing part 11452. The sixth protrusion 11453 protrudes from the fourth arm 11451 toward the moving part 115.

[0226] The eighth inclined surface 11454 is the portion of the seventh pressing part 11452 used to connect the fourth arm body 11451 and the end of the sixth protrusion 11453 facing away from the fourth arm body 11451. The eighth inclined surface 11454 is located on the side of the sixth protrusion 11453 facing the second connector 112; in other words, the eighth inclined surface 11454 and the sixth protrusion 11453 are along a first direction (e.g., Figure 4 Arranged sequentially in the Y direction (as shown).

[0227] By adopting the above technical solution, during the movement of the movable part 115 along the first direction, the main body 1151 first presses against the eighth inclined surface 11454, so that the fourth elastic arm 1145 gradually undergoes elastic deformation along the inclination direction of the eighth inclined surface 11454 until the sixth protrusion 11453 presses against the main body 1151. As the movable part 115 moves along the first direction, the sixth protrusion 11453 is pressed against the fifth pressing part 1154, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable part 115 along the first direction.

[0228] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 The second groove wall 11412 is recessed with a second cavity 11414, and at least a portion of the fourth spring arm 1145 is accommodated in the second cavity 11414.

[0229] The second cavity 11414 is used to accommodate at least a portion of the fourth spring arm 1145. For example, the portion of the fourth spring arm 1145 that connects to the second groove wall 11412 is accommodated within the second cavity 11414. Understandably, the portion of the fourth spring arm 1145 that presses against the fifth pressing portion 1154 extends out of the second cavity 11414. Optionally, the second cavity 11414 can be a recess formed by the wall surface of the second groove wall 11412 recessed in a direction away from the movable member 115, or it can be a through cavity penetrating the second groove wall 11412; no specific limitation is made here.

[0230] By adopting the above technical solution, the width of the slide groove 1141 is effectively reduced, thereby making the structure of the shield 114 more compact.

[0231] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 A limiting structure is provided between the groove wall of the slide 1141 and the movable part 115. The limiting structure is used to limit the distance that the movable part 115 moves along the first direction.

[0232] For example, when the movable part 115 moves along the first direction to the preset position, the limiting structure is triggered to restrict the movable part 115 from continuing to move in the first direction, thereby keeping the movable part 115 stationary at the preset position.

[0233] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable part 115 can be moved to the preset position more accurately, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connector 11.

[0234] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The limiting structure includes a first limiting part 1146 and a second limiting part 1156. The first limiting part 1146 protrudes from the groove wall of the slide groove 1141, and the second limiting part 1156 protrudes from the movable part 115. The first limiting part 1146 is used to abut against the second limiting part 1156.

[0235] Understandably, the first limiting part 1146 protrudes from the groove wall of the slide groove 1141 toward the movable member 115, and the second limiting part 1156 protrudes from one side of the movable member 115 toward the corresponding groove wall of the slide groove 1141. The first limiting part 1146 and the second limiting part 1156 abut against each other to limit the movement distance of the movable member 115. Optionally, the first limiting part 1146 can be, but is not limited to, a protrusion, a boss, etc., and is not specifically limited here. Similarly, the second limiting part 1156 can be, but is not limited to, a protrusion, a boss, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0236] In some embodiments, there are two first limiting portions 1146, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the slide groove 1141. For example, one first limiting portion 1146 is disposed on the first slide wall 11411 and the other first limiting portion 1146 is disposed on the second slide wall 11412. Correspondingly, there are two second limiting portions 1156, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the movable member 115. The two first limiting portions 1146 and the two second limiting portions 1156 abut against each other in a one-to-one correspondence to limit the movement distance of the movable member 115.

[0237] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable part 115 can be accurately moved to the preset position, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connector 11.

[0238] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4The first limiting part 1146 is located at the end of the slide groove 1141 away from the second connector 112.

[0239] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable part 115 can be moved to the preset position more accurately, and the risk of the movable part 115 disengaging from the slide groove 1141 and falling off during the movement can be reduced, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connector 11.

[0240] In some embodiments of this application, the groove 1141 passes through one end of the shield 114 facing away from the second connector 112 to form a first groove, and the movable member 115 has a first chamfered surface on at least one side facing the end of the second connector 112.

[0241] The first slot provides space for the movable member 115 to enter or exit the slide groove 1141. At least one side of the movable member 115 facing the second connector 112 has a first chamfered surface. For example, if the movable member 115 includes a first spring arm 1152, the second pressing portion 11522 of the first spring arm 1152 has the aforementioned first chamfered surface, and the first chamfered surface is located on the side of the second protrusion 11523 facing the second connector 112; or, if the movable member 115 includes a second spring arm 1153, the fourth pressing portion 11532 of the second spring arm 1153 has the aforementioned first chamfered surface, and the first chamfered surface is located on the side of the fourth protrusion 11533 facing the second connector 112.

[0242] In other embodiments of this application, the groove 1141 passes through one end of the shield 114 facing the second connector 112 to form a second slot, and the movable member 115 has a second chamfered surface on at least one side of the end facing away from the second connector 112.

[0243] The second slot is used to provide space for the movable part 115 to enter or exit the slide groove 1141. At least one side of the end of the movable part 115 facing away from the second connector 112 is provided with a second chamfered surface. For example, when the movable part 115 includes the pull end 1155 described below, the opposite sides of the pull end 1155 are provided with second chamfered surfaces.

[0244] In some other embodiments of this application, the slide groove 1141 passes through the end of the shielding member 114 facing away from the second connector 112 to form a first groove, the movable member 115 has a first chamfered surface on at least one side of the end facing the second connector 112, the slide groove 1141 passes through the end of the shielding member 114 facing the second connector 112 to form a second groove, and the movable member 115 has a second chamfered surface on at least one side of the end facing away from the second connector 112.

[0245] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable part 115 can be assembled into the slide groove 1141 along the chamfered surface, which facilitates the assembly of the movable part 115 and effectively improves the ease of use of the connector 11.

[0246] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The end of the movable member 115 facing away from the second connector 112 is the pull end 1155. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second connector 112 pushes against the movable member 115 so that the pull end 1155 extends out of the cover member 114.

[0247] The pull end 1155 provides a gripping space for the operator to remove the movable part 115 from the slide 1141. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the pull end 1155 extends outside the shield 114. For example, when the slide 1141 passes through the end of the shield 114 facing away from the second connector 112 to form a first slot, the pull end 1155 extends outside the shield 114 through the first slot. At this time, the operator can grasp the pull end 1155 to remove the movable part 115 from the slide 1141 and identify it through the identification unit 113 by an external device, thereby further improving the accuracy of the operator in judging whether the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place.

[0248] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pull end 1155 is provided with a gripping opening 11551.

[0249] In some other embodiments of this application, the pull end 1155 is provided with an anti-slip structure.

[0250] Optionally, the anti-slip structure can be, but is not limited to, a raised dot array structure, a frosted surface structure, a recessed array structure, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0251] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier for staff to hold the pull end 1155 and remove the movable part 115 from the slide groove 1141.

[0252] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 The first connector 111 includes a connector body 1111 and a first fastener 1112 connected to the connector body 1111. The first fastener 1112 is fastened to the second connector 112.

[0253] The connector body 1111 is the main part of the first connector 111, and the first snap-fit ​​member 1112 is used to connect the connector body 1111 and the second connector 112. In some embodiments, one end of the first snap-fit ​​member 1112 is connected to the connector body 1111, and the other end of the first snap-fit ​​member 1112 is provided with a first hook. The second connector 112 has a flange, and the first hook is snap-fitted to the flange. In other words, the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0254] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to connect the first connector 111 and the second connector 112.

[0255] In some embodiments of this application, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected in place, the end of the movable member 115 near the second connector 112 is disposed between the connector body 1111 and the first snap fastener 1112.

[0256] Understandably, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected in place, at least a portion of the movable member 115 extends out of the groove 1141. For example, the groove 1141 passes through the end of the blocking member 114 facing the second connector 112 to form a second slot. The end of the movable member 115 near the second connector 112 extends out of the groove 1141 through the second slot. The portion of the movable member 115 extending out of the groove 1141 is disposed between the connector body 1111 and the first fastening member 1112, so that the first fastening member 1112 blocks the portion of the movable member 115 extending out of the groove 1141.

[0257] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are not connected in place, the first latching member 1112 acts to block the movable member 115 from approaching the end of the second connector 112, thereby reducing the risk of the movable member 115 moving along the first direction due to collision with foreign objects, thus effectively improving the reliability of the connector 11.

[0258] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 The first connector 111 also includes a second fastening member 1113 that is snapped together with the second connector 112. The first fastening member 1112 and the second fastening member 1113 are respectively located on opposite sides of the connector body 1111.

[0259] The second fastener 1113 is used to connect the connector body 1111 and the second connector 112. In some embodiments, one end of the second fastener 1113 is connected to the connector body 1111, and the other end of the second fastener 1113 is provided with a second hook. The second connector 112 has a flange, and the second hook is fastened to the flange.

[0260] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection stability of the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 is effectively improved, thereby further reducing the risk of leakage in the connector 11.

[0261] In some embodiments of this application, the identification part 113 is disposed on the first connector 111. When the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second connector 112 pushes against the shield 114 and moves along a first direction so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shield 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11. Alternatively, the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window. The first direction is the direction from the second connector 112 to the first connector 111.

[0262] In other words, in this embodiment, the identification part 113 remains stationary, and under the pushing action of the second connector 112, the blocking member 114 can move along the first direction to achieve relative movement between the identification part 113 and the blocking member 114. In some embodiments, the blocking member 114 can be slidably connected to the first connector 111. For example, the first connector 111 is provided with a slide rail extending along the first direction, and the blocking member 114 is slidably mounted on the slide rail. Of course, in other embodiments, the blocking member 114 can also be slidably mounted on other components of the connector 11, which is not specifically limited here.

[0263] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first connector 111 and the second connector 112 are connected in place, the second connector 112 pushes the shield 114 to move along the first direction. At this time, the shield 114 moves along the first direction to a preset position so that the identification part 113 can be removed from the shield 114 and exposed to the external environment of the connector 11, or the identification part 113 can be exposed to the external environment of the connector 11 through the identification window, so that the external device can identify the identification part 113.

[0264] Secondly, please refer to Figure 2 This application also provides a cooling device 10, including a first tube 12, a second tube 13 and a connector 11 as described in any of the above embodiments. The first tube 12 is connected to a first connector 111, and the second tube 13 is connected to a second connector 112.

[0265] Since the cooling device 10 provided in this application uses the connector 11 described in any of the above embodiments, the reliability of the cooling device 10 is effectively improved.

[0266] Thirdly, please refer to Figure 2 This application also provides a battery 100, which includes the cooling device 10 described above.

[0267] Since the battery 100 provided in this application adopts the cooling device 10 described in any of the above embodiments, the reliability of the battery 100 is effectively improved.

[0268] Fourthly, embodiments of this application also provide an electrical device, including the battery 100 described above.

[0269] Since the electrical equipment provided in this application uses the battery 100 described in any of the above embodiments, the reliability of the electrical equipment is effectively improved.
