Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a reconfigurable modular and easily combined connector. Background Art
[0002] Modular connector technology is increasingly used in electronic devices. This connector achieves multi-functional integration by combining multiple single-function connectors, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the device. Modular connectors not only save space, but also reduce costs, making the design of electronic equipment more compact and efficient.
[0003] Most electronic connectors on the market today are fixed structures, and once the design is finalized, it is difficult to change. This results in poor product flexibility and the inability to meet the growing demand for customization. With the improvement of the functional integration of electronic products and the acceleration of technological iteration, the market demand for connectors that can be flexibly assembled, easy to maintain and upgrade is becoming more and more urgent. The design concept of traditional connectors can no longer adapt to this changing trend, and new technical solutions are urgently needed to meet the challenges of the market.
[0004] At present, in order to achieve modular connection, the common practice is to use standardized plugs and sockets with interfaces of specific shapes or magnetic connectors. However, these solutions generally have problems such as complex installation and poor stability. For example, although magnetic connectors are easy to connect quickly, they are easy to fall off in high-frequency vibration environments, causing connection failure. In addition, neither of these two methods supports on-site adjustment of the internal structure of the connector to adapt to different electrical performance requirements.
[0005] In summary, the existing modular connection technology not only has limitations in physical size and mechanical strength, but also lacks the ability to dynamically adjust electrical characteristics, making it difficult to meet the diversified requirements of modern electronic products. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a reconfigurable modular and easily combinable connector. Summary of the invention

[0011] Preferably, a protective shell is provided on the outer side of the electric push rod, a pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the protective shell, and the protective shell is fixedly connected to the plug block.
[0012] Preferably, the cooling mechanism comprises a fan frame, a small fan is arranged inside the fan frame, a first air duct is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fan frame, and an outlet of the first air duct is fixedly connected to an air outlet plate.
[0013] Preferably, an air outlet is provided on the outer side of the air outlet plate, an air discharge plate is installed in the air outlet, and a plurality of air discharge strips are provided inside the air discharge plate.
[0014] Preferably, a second air duct is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fan frame, an output port of the second air duct is fixedly connected to an air inlet block, and a heat dissipation layer is fixedly connected to the outer side of the air inlet block.
[0015] Preferably, an exhaust port is provided at the bottom of the heat dissipation layer, and the heat dissipation layer is fixedly connected to the surface of the insulation layer.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: First, the present invention, wherein the main frame is used as a supporting platform for carrying other components, and is made of lightweight high-strength alloy material to ensure rigidity and durability while reducing the overall weight; the contact sheet array is embedded on both sides of the main frame to form a plurality of parallel conductive paths, using copper-nickel alloy, which has good conductivity and corrosion resistance; the wire terminal is welded to the end of the contact sheet, which is responsible for connecting with the external circuit, and the appropriate specification model is selected according to the actual current size to ensure safety and reliability; the positioning pins are distributed on one side of the main frame, and the positioning pin barrel is used to ensure accurate positioning when the two connectors are docked, and stainless steel is selected to have high hardness and anti-corrosion properties; the insulating shell wraps the entire device to prevent short circuits and electric shock accidents, and polycarbonate is selected.

When it is necessary to plug or disassemble, by pressing the pressure sensor on the protective shell, pressure is applied to the pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is deformed, thereby changing the impedance. At the same time, the excitation voltage is changed, and a changing analog signal is output. When the signal is input to the electric push rod, the electric push rod will be retracted, so that the limit plate is retracted and withdrawn from the inside of the insertion strip, thereby releasing the connection between the fixing block and the insertion block, and further facilitating the disassembly and installation between the two connectors.
[0018] Third, the present invention uses a small fan fixed inside a fan frame to generate wind, and discharges it from the air outlet plate through the first air duct. The wind speed is accelerated by squeezing a plurality of air discharge strips in the air discharge plate, thereby further increasing the cooling speed. The wind is poured into the air inlet block through the second air duct and discharged from the exhaust port at the bottom of the heat dissipation layer. By cooling the heat dissipation layer, the temperature of the connected insulating layers is also reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
