The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated, that is, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In addition, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0029] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, some embodiments of the present invention provide an electrical connector, comprising a socket 1 and a plug 2. The plug 2 has a plurality of plugs, which can be independently disassembled and assembled on the socket 1.

[0031] The socket 1 includes a socket housing 11, a positioning block 12, a pin 13 and a first wiring assembly 14. The upper and lower surfaces of the socket 1 have a slot 15 and a first mounting groove 16 respectively. The positioning block 12 is provided with a plurality of pins evenly distributed in the slot 15. A plurality of pins 13 are provided and distributed on both sides of the positioning block 12. The first wiring assembly 14 is installed in the first mounting groove 16. The lower end of the pin 13 passes through the socket housing 11 and is connected to the first wiring assembly 14.

[0032] The plug 2 includes a plug housing 21 and a second wiring assembly 22. The upper surface of the plug housing 21 has a second mounting groove 23. The second wiring assembly 22 is arranged in the second mounting groove 23. The bottom of the plug housing 21 has a positioning groove 24 and a socket 25. The socket 25 is arranged on both sides of the positioning groove 24. The top of the socket 25 is connected to the second mounting groove 23.

[0033] In this embodiment, the plug 2 is provided with a plurality of pins. When the plug housing 21 is installed in the slot 15 of the socket 1, the positioning block 12 is correspondingly inserted into the positioning groove 24 of the plug 2 to achieve a positioning effect. The upper end of the pin 13 is correspondingly inserted into the jack 25 of the plug 2 and connected to the second wiring assembly 22. The lower end of the pin 13 passes through the socket housing 11 and is connected to the first wiring assembly 14, thereby achieving connection between the first wiring assembly 14 and the second wiring assembly 22.

[0034] Based on the above structural setting, this embodiment adopts a modular plug 2 structure to replace the traditional integrated plug, which is more flexible. Each plug 2 can be plugged in arbitrarily, and the plugs 2 can be assembled and used interchangeably, which greatly improves the adaptability of field applications. The plug 2 structure makes maintenance more convenient. There is no need to shut down the power completely. A single plug 2 can be independently repaired and flexibly configured, which greatly shortens the maintenance time and reduces the maintenance loss. During the maintenance process, only the faulty plug 2 needs to be replaced, and there is no need to replace the entire set of equipment, which significantly reduces the maintenance and maintenance costs.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the socket 1 further includes a socket cover plate 17, which is installed at the bottom of the first installation slot 16, and has a first wiring hole 171 in the socket cover plate 17, and the first wiring hole 171 is correspondingly arranged below the first wiring assembly 14.

The first conductive seat 141 has a first through hole 1411, and the lower end of the pin 13 is fixed in the first through hole 1411. For example, it can be fixed by soldering. To ensure smooth power supply.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first conductive seat 141 has a first stopper 1412, a second stopper 1413 and a first plugging block 1414, the first conductive spring 142 includes a first arc-shaped bending portion 1421, a first extension portion 1422 and a second extension portion 1423 provided at both ends of the first arc-shaped bending portion 1421, the first extension portion 1422 has a first limiting hole 1424, and the second extension portion 1423 is correspondingly provided on the first wiring hole 171. When the first conductive spring 142 is installed on the first conductive seat 141, the first stopper 1412 abuts against the inner wall of the first arc-shaped bending portion 1421, the second stopper 1413 abuts against the outer wall of the first extension portion 1422, and the first plugging block 1414 is inserted into the first limiting hole 1424. The above structure is adopted to ensure the structural stability of each component of the first wiring assembly 14.

[0039] like Figure 3 and 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second wiring assembly 22 includes a second conductive seat 221 and a second conductive spring 222, the second conductive spring 222 is installed in the second conductive seat 221, the second conductive spring 222 is correspondingly arranged below the second wiring hole 261, the second conductive seat 221 has a second through hole 2211, a conductive sleeve 2212 is installed in the second through hole 2211, the conductive sleeve 2212 extends downward into the plug hole 25, and the upper end of the plug pin 13 is slidably inserted into the conductive sleeve 2212. The conductive sleeve 2212 can be made of graphite material, and when the plug 2 is frequently inserted into the socket 1, the conductive sleeve 2212 can ensure normal power supply with the plug pin 13, and has a lubricating effect, so that disassembly and installation are convenient.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second conductive seat 221 has a third stopper 2213, a fourth stopper 2214 and a second plugging block 2215, the second conductive spring 222 includes a second arc-shaped bending portion 2221, a third extension portion 2222 and a fourth extension portion 2223 disposed at both ends of the second arc-shaped bending portion 2221, the third extension portion 2222 has a second limiting hole 2224, and the fourth extension portion 2223 is correspondingly disposed below the second wiring hole 261. When the second conductive spring 222 is installed on the second conductive seat 221, the third stopper 2213 abuts against the inner wall of the second arc-shaped bending portion 2221, the fourth stopper 2214 abuts against the outer wall of the third extension portion 2222, and the second plugging block 2215 is inserted into the second limiting hole 2224. The above structure is adopted to ensure the structural stability of each component of the second wiring assembly 22.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, both ends of the upper surface of the socket housing 11 extend upward to form baffles 111. When multiple plugs 2 are installed on the socket 1, the baffles 111 have a protective effect on the plugs 2 on both sides and stabilize the overall structure.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the middle of the socket housing 11 extends horizontally to form a mounting plate 112, and both ends of the mounting plate 112 have threaded holes 113. The threaded holes on the mounting plate 112 facilitate the installation and use of the entire electrical connector.
