[0025] The following is a further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] Example:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a connector with a pull-tab structure, including a front shell 1, and a PCB board 6 is provided at one end of the front shell 1. The PCB board 6 is the abbreviation of printed circuit board, which is a basic material for supporting and connecting electronic components, usually composed of a non-conductive substrate material and a conductive copper layer covering it.

[0028] A rear shell 3 is provided between the PCB board 6 and the front shell 1, and a snap lock 2 is provided between the rear shell 3 and the front shell 1. After the user inserts the connector into the device, the snap lock 2 will be snapped into the device, thereby providing a stable connection between the connector and the device, avoiding loose connection or falling off, and effectively ensuring the stability of signal data transmission between the connector and the device.

[0029] A rebound block 21 is provided at the bottom of the snap lock 2, and a first limiting groove 11 is opened on the front shell 1. The rebound block 21 is clamped in the first limiting groove 11. When the user presses the snap lock 2, the first limiting groove 11 will limit the snap lock 2, thereby ensuring that the snap lock 2 can maintain a stable activity direction when pressed, avoiding deviation and causing problems in the connection between the connector and the device. Through the first limiting groove 11, not only the stability and reliability of the snap lock 2 are increased, but also the convenience of the user when disassembling the connector is improved, making it easier for the user to connect or disassemble the device, effectively increasing the user's experience.

[0030] A plurality of first fixing holes 211 are provided on the rebound block 21, and a plurality of first buckles 111 are provided on the first limiting groove 11. The plurality of first buckles 111 are respectively clamped in the plurality of first fixing holes 211. When the user releases the buckle lock 2, the rebound block 21 provided at the bottom of the buckle lock 2 will release its squeezing force, thereby resetting the buckle lock 2. The buckle lock 2 can be effectively fixed in the first limiting groove 11 through the first buckle 111 and the first fixing hole 211, so as to prevent the buckle lock 2 from being ejected from the connector due to the squeezing force released by the buckle lock 2. This structure effectively improves the fixing stability and safety reliability of the buckle lock 2, and improves the convenience and connection reliability of the user when operating the connector.

[0031] An inner mold 5 is provided between the rear shell 3 and the PCB board 6, and a wire 7 is clamped at the rear end of the PCB board 6. The inner mold 5 is clamped at the connection between the PCB board 6 and the wire 7. The inner mold 5 can effectively reinforce the connection between the PCB board 6 and the wire 7, which can prevent the wire 7 from being offset or disconnected from the PCB board 6 due to external force, thereby effectively increasing the durability of the connector. The inner mold 5 can also prevent dust and the like from damaging the connection between the PCB board 6 and the wire 7, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the connector.

[0032] like Figures 2 to 8 As shown, multiple fixing buckles 31 are provided on both sides of the rear shell 3, multiple first through holes 12 are opened on both sides of the front shell 1, and second through holes 51 are opened on both sides of the inner mold 5. One end of multiple groups of fixing buckles 31 pass through the multiple second through holes 51 respectively and are clamped in the multiple first through holes 12. Through this fixing structure, the impact of its external environmental factors on its connector can be effectively reduced, which effectively improves the stability of the connector and is also convenient for users to maintain or replace it.

[0033] A glue injection hole 8 is provided between the connection of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 3. After the user puts the PCB board 6 into the connector, the user can inject low-pressure material into the inside through the glue injection holes 8 provided on both sides, thereby forming an inner mold 5 to reinforce the connection between the PCB board 6 and the wire 7, thereby providing a more secure connection, reducing the risk of loosening and falling off, and making the inner mold 5 better fit the space inside the connector, which can effectively reduce loosening and shaking. This can further enhance the reliability and stability of the connector and ensure that the connection between the PCB board 6 and the wire 7 is secure and safe.

[0034] A plurality of reinforcing ribs 13 are provided at the rear end of the front shell 1, and a card slot 32 is opened at the bottom of the rear shell 3. The plurality of groups of reinforcing ribs 13 are respectively clamped in the plurality of card slots 32. The reinforcing ribs 13 can increase the overall structural strength and rigidity of the connector, provide better tensile and torsional resistance, and the use of the plurality of groups of reinforcing ribs 13 and the card slots 32 can disperse the force to different areas of the entire connector, thereby balancing the force conditions and improving the overall stability of the connector. Clamping the reinforcing ribs 13 in the card slots 32 can ensure that they are firmly fixed in the connector, reducing looseness and displacement caused by external forces.

[0035] Fixed blocks 52 are provided on both sides of the inner mold 5, and fixed grooves 14 are opened on the inner sides of both sides of the front shell 1. The two groups of fixing blocks 52 are respectively clamped in the two groups of fixing grooves 14. Through the cooperation between the fixing blocks 52 and the fixing grooves 14, the inner mold 5 can be firmly fixed inside the front shell 1 to ensure that it will not loosen or shift, and the cooperation between the fixing blocks 52 and the fixing grooves 14 can provide additional support, thereby increasing the structural strength and rigidity of the connector.

[0036] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, a drawstring 4 is provided on the top of the front shell 1, a limiting rod 22 is provided on the snap lock 2, and a connecting belt 41 is provided at one end of the drawstring 4. The connecting belt 41 is passed through the limiting rod 22. When the user pulls the connecting belt 41 through the drawstring 4, the limiting rod 22 can limit the connecting belt 41, thereby preventing the connecting belt 41 from being offset when being pulled and affecting the operation of the snap lock 2, and by preventing the offset of the connecting belt 41, the wear between components can also be effectively reduced, thereby extending the service life of the connecting belt 41.

[0037] A first through slot 23 and a second through slot 24 are provided above the snap lock 2. One end of the connecting belt 41 passes through the first through slot 23 and the second through slot 24, and then is connected to the drawstring 4 through Velcro. The first through slot 23 and the second through slot 24 can effectively limit the movement direction of the snap lock 2, so that when the user pulls the connecting belt 41 through the drawstring 4, the snap lock 2 can be driven to bend downward to release the fixed state between the connector and the device.

[0038] And the user can adjust the tightness of the connecting belt 41 through its Velcro. The user can flexibly adjust the tightness of the connecting belt 41 according to the actual situation to meet different tightness requirements, so as to adapt to different usage scenarios and needs. Moreover, the Velcro has good repeated adhesion performance, so after the user makes multiple adjustments, the adhesion performance of the Velcro will not be reduced.

[0039] A connector 9 is provided at the front end of the front shell 1, and a plurality of second limiting grooves 15 are provided at the front end of the front shell 1. Both sides of the connector 9 are respectively clamped in the plurality of second limiting grooves 15. The plurality of second limiting grooves 15 can be used to accurately position the front shell 1 and other components, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the connection. A plurality of second fixing holes 91 are provided at the top of the connector 9, and a plurality of second buckles 25 are provided at the top of the snap lock 2. The plurality of second buckles 25 are respectively clamped in the plurality of second fixing holes 91. When the user loosens the drawstring 4, the rebound block 21 will release its squeezing force, thereby causing the snap lock 2 to rebound into place. This structure can effectively prevent the snap lock 2 from detaching from the connector during the rebound process due to its excessive rebound force. This provides a stable connection state for the connector, thereby effectively increasing the reliability of the connector.

[0040] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0041] The user can pull the connecting strap 41 through the drawstring 4, and the movement direction of the snap lock 2 can be effectively limited through the first through slot 23 and the second through slot 24, so that when the user pulls the connecting strap 41 through the drawstring 4, the snap lock 2 can be driven to bend downward to release the fixed state between the connector and the device. This structure allows the user to quickly and conveniently release the fixed state when the space is limited, which effectively saves the time required for disassembling the connector and improves work efficiency. After loosening the drawstring 4, the user can effectively remove the connector through the first buckle 111 and the first fixing hole 211. The snap lock 2 is fixed in the first limiting groove 11 to prevent the snap lock 2 from being ejected from the connector due to the squeezing force released by the snap lock 2. This structure effectively improves the fixing stability and safety reliability of the snap lock 2, and improves the convenience and connection reliability of the user when operating the connector. The components on the connector are all connected by the snap structure. When the user removes it from the device, the connector can be quickly disassembled to maintain or replace its internal components. Moreover, through this structure, the connector is not easily affected by environmental factors, which effectively improves the overall stability and reliability of the connector.

[0042] The basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
