Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a sheet-type floating connector; Figure 2 The figure is a cross-sectional diagram of a floating connector; Figure 3 The figure is a schematic diagram of the disassembly of the floating connector; Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the first elastic member 2; Figure 5It is a side view of the first elastic member 2. The floating connector of the present application includes a carrier 1, a first elastic member 2 and a second elastic member 3. The first elastic member 2 is arranged on the carrier 1, and the second elastic member 3 is movably arranged on the first elastic member 2. Specifically, the first elastic member 2 can move relative to the second elastic member 3 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction. When in use, the copper busbar is connected to the carrier 1, and the plug is inserted into the first elastic member 2. The copper busbar, the carrier 1, the first elastic member 2, the second elastic member 3 and the plug are conductively connected, that is, the copper busbar, the carrier 1, the first elastic member 2, the second elastic member 3 and the plug can conduct current.
[0032] The carrier 1 has a first receiving groove 11, and the first elastic member 2 is located in the first receiving groove 11, and the first elastic member 2 is in contact with and connected to the inner wall surface of the first receiving groove 11. In specific applications, the cross-section of the carrier 1 is formed in a "C" shape; the first elastic member 2 is clamped in the first receiving groove 11, that is, the first elastic member 2 is fixed relative to the carrier 1. Further, the shape of the first elastic member 2 can be the same as that of the carrier 1, but the overall structural size of the first elastic member 2 is small, so it can be clamped in the first receiving groove 11; in addition, the structure of the first elastic member 2 can also adopt a segmented structure, that is, the number of the first elastic members 2 is two, and the two first elastic members 2 are respectively located on the two inner wall surfaces of the first receiving groove 11 opposite to each other in the X-axis direction, and the second elastic member 3 is movably arranged on the two first elastic members 2. This embodiment adopts the solution of two first elastic members 2.
[0033] The first elastic member 2 has a second receiving groove 21, the second elastic member 3 is movably arranged in the second receiving groove 21, and the second elastic member 3 contacts the first elastic member 2. Further, the first elastic member 2 includes a first carrier plate 22 and a plurality of first contact strips 23, the first carrier plate 22 is located in the first receiving groove 11, in order to make the first carrier plate 22 fixed relative to the carrier 1, the first carrier plate 22 can be clamped in the first receiving groove 11, wherein the second receiving groove 21 is provided on the first carrier plate 22; the plurality of first contact strips 23 are distributed at intervals at the notch of the second receiving groove 21, and the plurality of first contact strips 23 are all in contact with the second elastic member 3. In specific application, the plurality of first contact strips 23 are distributed on opposite sides of the notch of the second receiving groove 21, that is, the plurality of first contact strips 23 are divided into two groups, one group is distributed on one side of the notch of the second receiving groove 21, and the other group is distributed on the other side of the notch of the second receiving groove 21, and the first contact strips 23 of the two groups are all in contact with the second elastic member 3. Furthermore, the first contact strip 23 is provided with a first protrusion 231, which protrudes toward the second accommodating groove 21, and the first protrusion 231 abuts against the second elastic member 3; since each first contact strip 23 has the same structure, there are multiple first protrusions 231 along the Y-axis direction, and the positions of the multiple first protrusions 231 are the same, so that the multiple first protrusions 231 can abut against the second elastic member 3 at the same time to increase the contact points between the first elastic member 2 and the second elastic member 3, thereby improving the diversion effect and reducing the temperature rise. In addition, the first carrier plate 22 is provided with a plurality of through holes 221, and the first contact strip 23 is further provided with a second protrusion 232. The second protrusion 232 passes through the through holes 221 and is exposed outside the first carrier plate 22, and the second protrusion 232 abuts against the inner wall surface of the first receiving groove 11. In detail, one end of the first contact strip 23 is connected to the first carrier plate 22, and the other end of the first contact strip 23 is bent and extended toward the second receiving groove 21. The first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 232 are located between the two ends of the first contact strip 23, but the protrusion directions of the first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 232 are opposite, that is, the first protrusion 231 protrudes toward the inside of the second receiving groove 21, and the second protrusion 232 protrudes toward the outside of the second receiving groove 21.Since there are multiple first contact strips 23, and each first contact strip 23 is provided with a second protrusion 232, a second protrusion 232 is provided in each through hole 221 to protrude. By providing the second protrusion 232, the contact points between the first carrier plate 22 and the carrier 1 can be effectively increased. In addition, the plane of the edge of the through hole 221 also abuts against the carrier 1, further increasing the contact points between the first carrier plate 22 and the carrier 1. Compared with the surface-to-surface contact between the first carrier plate 22 and the carrier 1, the method of this embodiment can further increase the number of contact points. By increasing the number of contact points, the current carrying capacity and the flow conducting capacity can be effectively improved. In addition, with the first protrusion 232 on the upper part of the first carrier plate 22, the contact points between the first carrier plate 22 and the carrier 1 can be effectively increased. Taking a contact strip 23 as an example, when the carrier 1 contacts the second protrusion 232, a downward reverse force will be generated on the second protrusion 232, and the downward reverse force will be transmitted to the first protrusion 231 through the first contact strip 23, so that the first protrusion also has a downward reverse force. The downward force will enhance the effect of the first protrusion 231 contacting the second elastic member 3, that is, increase the positive force of the first protrusion 231 on the second elastic member 3, so that the resistivity between the first protrusion 231 and the second elastic member 3 is reduced. In actual use, the heat generated during the current conduction process is reduced due to the reduction in resistivity, thereby achieving the effect of reducing temperature rise. The first contact strip 23 at the lower part of the first carrier plate 22 is the same, except that the direction of the force generated is opposite. For details, please refer to the above content, which will not be repeated here.
[0034] The second elastic member 3 includes a second carrier plate 31, two clamping bodies 32 and two supporting bodies 33. The second carrier plate 31 is located in the second receiving groove 21 and can move relative to the first carrier plate 22 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction. The two clamping bodies 32 are arranged on the second carrier plate 31 in opposition and at intervals. The two supporting bodies 33 are respectively arranged on the side of the two clamping bodies 32 away from each other, that is, a supporting body 33 is arranged on the side of one clamping body 32 away from the other clamping body 32, and the clamping body 32 is supported by the supporting body 33. When in use, the insert is inserted into the position between the two clamping bodies 32, and the two sides of the insert are respectively in contact with the two clamping bodies 32. To further illustrate, when the second carrier plate 31 is located in the second receiving groove 21, in the X-axis direction, there is a spacing S between the side of the second carrier plate 31 and the inner wall of the second receiving groove 21, and the spacing S is the displacement of the second carrier plate 31; in the Y-axis direction, since neither the first receiving groove 11 nor the second receiving groove 21 causes any obstruction to the second carrier plate 31, the second carrier plate 31 can move in the Y-axis direction. It should be noted that although the second carrier plate 31 can move in the Y-axis direction, due to the existence of frictional resistance, the second carrier plate 31 will not be easily moved out of the second receiving groove 21. That is to say, when the insert is inserted, although the force will be transmitted to the second carrier plate 31 through the clamping body 32, the force will not easily cause the second carrier plate 31 to move out of the second receiving groove 21.
[0035] The clamping body 32 includes a clamping plate 321 and a plurality of second contact strips 322. The clamping plate 321 is disposed on the second carrier plate 31, and the plurality of second contact strips 322 are spaced apart on the clamping plate 321. Specifically, the clamping plate 321 is located at the upper portion of the second carrier plate 31. It can be seen that the first contact strip 23 at the upper portion of the first carrier plate 22 abuts against the clamping plate 321 through the first protrusion 231, and the first contact strip 23 at the lower portion of the first carrier plate 22 abuts against the lower portion of the second carrier plate 31 through the first protrusion 231. The plurality of second contact strips 322 are disposed in a direction perpendicular to the second carrier plate 31. In this embodiment, the plurality of second contact strips 322 are distributed in a staggered manner, that is, two adjacent second contact strips 322 are staggered, so that part of the second contact strips 322 are closer to the other clamping body 32 on the opposite side. This structure can be directly formed by a stamping process, thereby improving the utilization rate of materials and reducing costs. Furthermore, the second contact strip 322 is provided with a third protrusion 3221. It should be noted that, although the two adjacent second contact strips 322 are staggered, the two third protrusions 3221 on the two adjacent second contact strips 322 are in the same position, that is, along the Y-axis direction, the third protrusions 3221 are located at the same position. When the insert is inserted between the two clamping bodies 32, the second contact strips 322 on the two clamping bodies 32 respectively abut against the two sides of the insert through the third protrusions 3221.
[0036] The support body 33 includes a support plate 331 and a plurality of support bars 332. The support plate 331 is arranged on the clamping plate 321. The plurality of support bars 332 are arranged at intervals on the support plate 331. The plurality of support bars 332 abut against the plurality of second contact bars 322. The support bars 332 provide support for the second contact bars 322, so as to improve the abutment effect between the second contact bars 322 and the insert. Specifically, the support body 33 also includes a plurality of clamping blocks 333. The clamping blocks 333 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the support plate 331. When in use, the support plate 331 and the clamping plate 321 are connected as one by bending the clamping blocks 333. In this embodiment, taking a clamping body 32 and a support body 33 as an example, the number of support bars 332 is less than the number of second contact bars 322, that is, one support bar 332 will abut against a plurality of second contact bars 322, and it provides support for the plurality of second contact bars 322.
[0037] Specifically, the first elastic member 2 and the clamping body 32 are both made of highly conductive and high yield strength materials, and can be formed by a stamping process, which greatly reduces the cost. The support body 33 is made of stainless steel.
[0038] To summarize, through the cooperation of the supporting member 1, the first elastic member 2 and the second elastic member 3, the first elastic member 2 is fixed in the supporting member 1, and the second elastic member 3 can be moved in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the first elastic member 2. The position of the plug can be adjusted during the process of inserting the plug into the second elastic member 3 to adapt to plugs in different positions, so that the plug can be inserted normally to avoid affecting the user's plugging and unplugging efficiency.
