[0006] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a sliding column and two limit columns, the sliding column is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the matching matching cavity, the two limit columns are fixedly connected to the inner diameter of the connecting shell, the two limit columns are located on the front and rear sides of the inner diameter of the connecting shell, two limit grooves are provided on the surface of the sliding column, the front and rear sides of the matching matching cavity are provided with extrusion grooves, reinforcement structures are provided in the two extrusion grooves, and the two limit columns correspond to the two limit grooves respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a snap-fit ​​buckle and an adapter, the snap-fit ​​buckle is slidably connected to the placement slot, snap-fit ​​grooves are provided at the bottom of the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​buckle, the adapter is fixedly connected to the connecting shell, the front and rear sides of the adapter are fixedly connected with snap-fit ​​columns, and the snap-fit ​​grooves and the snap-fit ​​columns are snap-fitted to each other.

The opposite sides of the two engaging parts are fixedly connected to limiting blocks, and the opposite sides of the inner walls of the two extrusion grooves are provided with engaging grooves, and the two limiting blocks are respectively engaged with the two engaging grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the sliding groove and the connecting groove are interconnected, providing a channel for the sliding of the adapter and the movement of the engaging column.

[0010] Preferably, the adapter is located in the connecting groove, the adapter is slidably connected to the connecting groove, and the engaging column is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0011] Preferably, two movable grooves are provided on the outer side of the right side adapter mating cavity of the connector, and the two movable grooves correspond to two.

[0012] Preferably, the two engaging parts are both made of ABS plastic, and both of the two engaging parts have a certain elasticity.

[0013] Preferably, the engaging member is arranged correspondingly to the extrusion groove, and the engaging member can move limitedly in the extrusion groove.

[0014] Preferably, the sliding column is located at the center of the matching matching cavity and coincides with the central axis of the matching matching cavity.

[0015] Working principle: When the connector needs to be connected to the adapter cable, first align the adapter at one end of the adapter cable with the connection slot on the left side of the connector and insert it. The adapter slides in the connection slot, and at the same time, the locking posts on both sides of the adapter move along the sliding slot on the inner wall of the connection slot; When the adapter cannot move further to the right as it goes deeper, the adapter is pressed downward so that the snap-fit ​​posts on both sides of the adapter contact the snap-fit ​​buckles in the placement slot. The snap-fit ​​buckles are squeezed by the adapter and slide in the placement slot. When the snap-fit ​​slot on the snap-fit ​​buckle moves to the position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​post, the snap-fit ​​post snaps into the snap-fit ​​slot to achieve a preliminary locking connection. When the adapter is inserted into the connection slot, the connection shell adapted to the surface of the connection line is also inserted into the adapter mating cavity on the right side of the connector. The two limit posts in the connection shell slide along the limit slide grooves on the slide post to ensure the accuracy and stability of the connection. When the connecting shell is inserted into the matching matching cavity, the engaging pieces on the front and rear sides of the connecting shell are squeezed by the squeezing groove. Since the engaging piece has a certain elasticity, the engaging piece shrinks inwards. When the limiting block on the engaging piece moves to the engaging groove position of the inner wall of the squeezing groove, the limiting block is inserted into the engaging groove to achieve further reinforced connection. Through the coordinated action of the locking mechanism, the connecting mechanism and the reinforcement structure, the connector and the matching connecting line are tightly and stably connected together.

[0016] The present invention provides a connection structure between an adapter and a connector, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention provides a path and limit for the insertion and sliding of the adapter and the engaging column through the connecting groove and the sliding groove, thereby ensuring stability after engagement, and the engaging buckle in the locking mechanism engages with the engaging column on the adapter to achieve preliminary stable locking, and the cooperation between the sliding column, the limiting column, and the engaging parts, the limiting block and the engaging groove in the reinforcement structure further enhances the strength and stability of the connection, effectively preventing the connection from loosening, offsetting and misaligning, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the connector and the adapter cable, and reducing signal transmission interruption or equipment failure caused by connection problems.

[0017] 2. The present invention precisely docks the battery cell at the left end of the adapter connecting line through the docking grooves evenly distributed on the left side of the inner wall of the adapter cavity. At the same time, the double connection structure strengthens the strength of the connection, avoiding loose disconnection during use, ensuring efficient transmission of current and signals, and ensuring the quality and stability of signal transmission.

[0018] 3. The connection and disassembly process of the present invention is simple and quick. By buckling the snap buckle upwards, the adapter can be pulled out to the right. Pinch the two snap buckles and pull them to the right. Then, rotate them in the opposite direction to the installation to remove the adapter cable, thereby achieving quick connection between the adapter and the connector.

[0022] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a connection structure between an adapter and a connector, comprising: Connector 1, a connection groove 10 is provided at the center position of the left side of the connector 1, sliding grooves 8 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the connection groove 10, a placement groove 7 is provided on the top of the connector 1, an adapting docking cavity 22 is provided on the right side of the connector 1, and evenly distributed docking grooves 20 are provided on the left side of the inner wall of the adapting docking cavity 22, and a locking mechanism is provided in the placement groove 7, the locking mechanism is located on the left side of the connector 1, and the locking mechanism is used to connect the connector 1 with the adapter cable 3; The adapter connecting wire 15 has a connecting shell 2 fixedly connected to the left side of the surface of the adapter connecting wire 15, and the left end of the adapter connecting wire 15 is fixedly connected to evenly distributed battery cells 19, and the battery cells 19 are slidably connected to the docking slot 20; The connecting mechanism is located between the connector 1 and the adapting connecting line 15 , and is used to connect the connector 1 and the adapting connecting line 15 together.

[0023] The connector 1 is the main part of the entire connection structure, and its design is exquisite and its functions are important. The connection groove 10 opened at the center position on the left side provides an accurate channel for the insertion of the adapter 4, ensuring the accuracy of the connection and reducing the signal transmission problem caused by the connection deviation. The sliding grooves 8 opened on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the connection groove 10 provide guidance and limit for the sliding of the locking column 9, ensuring that the adapter 4 can be stably inserted and accurately locked and connected, effectively avoiding shaking and loosening during the connection process, and improving the reliability of the connection; The placement groove 7 opened on the top is used to accommodate the snap buckle 6 of the locking mechanism, so that the locking mechanism can achieve an effective connection locking function without affecting the compactness of the overall structure, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. The adapter docking cavity 22 opened on the right side provides a docking space for the connection housing 2 of the adapter connection line 15, thereby ensuring a tight fit of the connection. The evenly distributed docking grooves 20 opened on the left side of the inner wall of the adapter docking cavity 22 cooperate with the battery cell 19 at the left end of the adapter connection line 15, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of signal transmission. The connecting shell 2 fixedly connected to the left side of the surface of the adapter connecting wire 15 provides protection and support for the internal circuits and structures. The evenly distributed battery cells 19 fixedly connected at the left end are slidably connected to the docking grooves 20 on the connector 1, ensuring stable current and signal transmission.

[0024] Please refer to the attached Figure 3-4 and attached Figure 7 The connecting mechanism includes a sliding column 13 and two limiting columns 16. The sliding column 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the matching matching cavity 22. The two limiting columns 16 are fixedly connected to the inner diameter of the connecting shell 2. The two limiting columns 16 are located on the front and rear sides of the inner diameter of the connecting shell 2. Two limiting grooves 12 are provided on the surface of the sliding column 13. Extrusion grooves 11 are provided on the front and rear sides of the matching matching cavity 22. Reinforcement structures are provided in the two extrusion grooves 11. The two limiting columns 16 correspond to the two limiting grooves 12 respectively.

[0025] The connecting mechanism realizes a stable connection between the connector 1 and the adapter connecting line 15, and the connection between the sliding column 13 and the adapter matching cavity 22, provides a track and support 18 for the sliding of the limit column 16, and ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the connection process. The two limit columns 16 are fixedly connected to the inner diameter of the connecting shell 2, and respectively correspond to the two limit slide grooves 12 on the surface of the sliding column 13, which ensures the accuracy and stability of the connecting shell 2 when it is inserted into the adapter matching cavity 22, prevents deviation and misalignment, and thus improves the quality and efficiency 21 of the connection. The reinforcement structure arranged in the extrusion groove 11 on the front and rear sides of the adapter matching cavity 22 reduces the occurrence of connection failures.

[0026] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 and Figure 5 The locking mechanism includes a snap-fit ​​buckle 6 and an adapter 4, the snap-fit ​​buckle 6 is slidably connected to the placement groove 7, snap-fit ​​grooves 5 are provided at the bottom of the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​buckle 6, the adapter 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting shell 2, and snap-fit ​​columns 9 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the adapter 4, and the snap-fit ​​grooves 5 and the snap-fit ​​columns 9 are snap-fitted to each other.

[0027] The locking mechanism ensures a tight connection between the connector 1 and the adapter cable 3. The snap-fit ​​buckle 6 is slidably connected to the placement groove 7 and can be snapped into place with the snap-fit ​​column 9 on the adapter 4 to form a lock to prevent accidental disconnection. The snap-fit ​​grooves 5 provided at the bottom of the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​buckle 6 are snapped into place with the snap-fit ​​columns 9 fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the adapter 4 to prevent accidental loosening after the connection.

[0028] Please refer to the attached Figure 6 The reinforcement structure includes two engaging members 14, both of which are fixedly connected to the connecting shell 2, and the two engaging members 14 are located at the front and rear sides of the connecting shell 2. The opposite sides of the two engaging members 14 are fixedly connected to the limiting blocks 18, and the opposite sides of the inner walls of the two extrusion grooves 11 are provided with engaging grooves 17, and the two limiting blocks 18 are respectively engaged with the two engaging grooves 17.

[0029] The reinforcement structure further improves the stability of the connection. The two snap-fit ​​parts 14 are firmly fixed to the connecting shell 2, symmetrically positioned and reliably fixed. The snap-fit ​​parts 14 have a certain elasticity and can flexibly shrink when squeezed by the extrusion groove 11, thereby enhancing the connection's anti-stretching and anti-vibration capabilities and ensuring that the connection remains stable under harsh working conditions.

[0030] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 The sliding groove 8 and the connecting groove 10 are interconnected, providing a channel for the sliding of the adapter 4 and the movement of the engaging column 9.

[0031] The adapter 4 slides rightward in the connecting groove 10 , and the engaging column 9 slides rightward in the sliding groove 8 .

[0032] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 The adapter 4 is located in the connecting groove 10 , the adapter 4 is slidably connected to the connecting groove 10 , and the engaging column 9 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 8 .

[0033] By sliding the adapter 4 in the connecting groove 10, precise alignment and connection between the connector 1 and the adapter line 3 are achieved. In actual use, the resistance during the connection process can be effectively reduced, making the connection operation smoother. At the same time, due to the tightness of the sliding connection, the stability of the connection can be ensured to avoid looseness or poor contact.

[0034] Please refer to the attached Figure 3 , two movable grooves 21 are arranged on the outer side of the adapting mating cavity 22 on the right side of the connector 1, and the two movable grooves 21 correspond to two.

[0035] In order to provide a certain amount of room for movement during the connection process and facilitate the movement and adjustment of the structure, the movable groove 21 can allow the components to be flexibly displaced within a certain range, thereby adapting to different connection requirements and working conditions, which effectively improves the adaptability and versatility of the connection structure.

[0036] Please refer to the attached Figure 6 The two engaging parts 14 are both made of ABS plastic, and both of them have a certain elasticity.

[0037] ABS plastic has good mechanical properties and impact resistance, which can ensure the strength and durability of the snap-fitting part 14 during use. The certain elasticity of the snap-fitting part 14 can provide a certain buffering and compensation effect during connection, which can make the snap-fitting part 14 better adapt to the slight differences and changes between the connected parts, thereby enhancing the tightness and stability of the connection. At the same time, the elasticity can also reduce the impact force during the connection process and extend the service life of the parts.

[0038] Please refer to the attached Figure 3 The engaging member 14 is arranged correspondingly to the extrusion groove 11 , and the engaging member 14 can move limitedly in the extrusion groove 11 .

[0039] The locking and unlocking functions of the connection are achieved by moving the engaging member 14 in the extrusion groove 11. When the engaging member 14 moves to a specific position, it can achieve a firm engagement to ensure the stability of the connection. When disassembly is required, the lock can be released by squeezing the engaging member 14 inward, which can effectively improve the efficiency of connection and disassembly.

[0040] Please refer to the attached Figure 3 The sliding column 13 is located at the center of the matching matching cavity 22 and coincides with the central axis of the matching matching cavity 22 .

[0041] It can ensure uniform force and stability during connection. Since the sliding column 13 is in the central position, the connecting parts can be evenly supported and guided in all directions, avoiding deflection or uneven force, and ensuring the normal operation and service life of the connection structure.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
