[0002] A connector is a device used to connect two active devices. It can transmit electrical signals or power between circuit units without the need for permanent connection. It plays a key role in ensuring efficient and secure connections between devices. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous expansion of application areas, the market demand for connectors will continue to grow.

[0003] Prior art 1 (Announcement number: CN116581590A, Chinese patent with announcement date of 2023-08-11) A connector includes an inner shell element, an outer shell element and a connecting element, the outer shell element is configured to move from a non-matching position to a matching position relative to the inner shell element along a matching axis, and the connecting element has a hollow portion, and the hollow portion is configured to receive and connect with a plug of a second connector in the hollow portion. The connecting element is arranged in a socket of the inner shell element and can move from a non-matching position to a matching position along the matching axis. The connecting element is connected to the outer shell element through a motion reverse mechanical system, so that the movement of the outer shell element in the direction along the matching axis causes the connecting element to move in the opposite direction relative to the inner shell element. It also relates to a coding clip for foolproof mating of a first connector and a second connector along a mating direction. The coding clip is configured to slide on a plug extending along the mating direction and form-fit on the plug. The coding clip includes a proximal portion relative to the mating direction and a distal portion relative to the mating direction.

[0004] There is also prior art 2 (a Chinese patent with announcement number CN116154514A and announcement date 2023-05-23), a connector and a connector assembly. The connector includes: a housing; a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing; and an insulating member mounted on the housing, the insulating member having a raised isolation plate, the isolation plate being inserted between adjacent terminals to separate the adjacent terminals. Adjacent terminals are separated by the isolation plate of the insulating member, so that the creepage distance and electrical clearance between adjacent terminals can be increased without increasing the size of the connector.

[0005] Although the connector in the prior art has the advantages of foolproofing and insulation, it cannot prevent the conductive terminal from being installed in the installation slot in the wrong posture, resulting in poor electrical contact of the electrical connector. At the same time, its terminal docking slot body structure is relatively simple, and the terminal is easily scrapped due to pressure during docking, and the terminal is also prone to loosening.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a terminal hole reinforcement connector to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0009] Preferably, a special-shaped abutment block is fixedly connected to the inside of the terminal docking groove, and the terminal docking groove is arranged in a non-rectangular structure, and the lower end of the inner side of the terminal docking groove is arranged in an inner and outer two-part structure through the special-shaped abutment block, and at the same time, the inner length of the terminal docking groove is greater than the outer length of the terminal docking groove.

[0010] Preferably, the interference mechanism includes a deformable plate, and the deformable plate is fixedly connected inside the interference groove, and two groups of the deformable plates are symmetrically arranged about the center point of the interference groove.

[0011] Preferably, the abutment grooves are arranged equidistantly with respect to the terminal body, and the positions of the abutment grooves and the terminal docking grooves correspond one to one, and the abutment grooves and the terminal docking grooves are communicated with each other.

[0012] Preferably, in the initial state, the deformable plate is arranged in a slightly arched structure when viewed from the side, and the protruding side of the deformable plate is arranged toward the terminal docking groove, and the deformable plate is made of an elastic and structurally variable material.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing groove is opened on the upper side of the connector body, and a bending positioning plate is nested and connected inside the fixing groove, and the upper end of the bending positioning plate is fixedly connected to the fixing plate body.

[0014] Preferably, two groups of fixing grooves are symmetrically arranged about the center point of the connector body, the bending positioning plate is arranged in a "U"-shaped structure, and the bending positioning plate is made of an elastic and variable structural material, and the sides of the bending positioning plate are in contact and fit with the inner wall of the fixing groove.

[0015] Preferably, the reinforcing mechanism includes a fixed shaft, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the interference groove, and the outside of the fixed shaft is nested with a interference block body, and a spring is fixedly connected between the side of the interference block body and the inside of the interference groove, and the extrusion blocks are fixed on the lower surface of the fixed plate body at equal intervals, and the extrusion blocks are nested and docked into the inside of the interference groove, and when the extrusion blocks are docked with the interference groove, the lower end of the extrusion block contacts the side of the interference block body.

[0016] Preferably, the resistance block body is arranged in an elliptical structure, and in an initial state, the vertical length of the resistance block body is greater than the horizontal length, and the resistance block body forms a rotating structure with the fixed shaft through the extrusion block, and the resistance block body forms an elastic structure with the spring and the resistance groove, the resistance block body is located on the inner side of the deformation plate, and the side of the resistance block body contacts the inner side of the deformation plate in the docking state, and the deformation plate is elastically deformed by the resistance block body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the abutting deformation plate reduces the misalignment of the end of the terminal body during docking and applies a abutting extrusion force to the side of the terminal body, so that the docking between the terminal docking groove and the terminal body is more stable, and the abutting deformation plate and the extrusion block included in the reinforcing mechanism cooperate with each other to further limit and fix the terminal body, thereby reducing the possibility of the terminal body being loosened from the inside of the terminal docking groove: The terminal docking groove is set in a special-shaped structure. When the terminal body is docked to the inside of the terminal docking groove, the special-shaped terminal docking groove can restrict the side of the terminal body, reduce the probability of the mold workpiece being too weak and scrapped during docking, and enhance the strength of the workpiece while improving the production efficiency of the product.

[0018] When the terminal body is docked into the terminal docking groove, the terminal body will resist the deformation plate and slide along the side of the arched inclined structure at the upper end of the deformation plate. The end of the terminal body can be preliminarily guided by the deformation plate to assist in limiting the terminal body, so that the terminal body can be more smoothly and conveniently docked into the terminal docking groove, reducing the misalignment of the end of the terminal body during docking, thereby reducing the phenomenon of extrusion and damage to the terminal body.

[0019] After the terminal bodies are docked, the sides of the deformation plate are not affected by the extrusion of the ends of the terminal bodies. At this time, the deformation plate is reset, and the arched protrusions of the deformation plate can contact the sides of the terminal bodies under the drive of the elastic force of the deformation plate itself, and exert a resisting and extruding force on the sides of the terminal bodies. At this time, the terminal body can be stably located inside the terminal docking groove under the influence of the extrusion force, making the docking between the terminal docking groove and the terminal body more stable.

[0020] When the terminal bodies inside each terminal docking groove are docked, the extrusion block can be nested and docked into the inside of the contact groove through the fixing plate body. At this time, the extrusion block will cause the contact block body to rotate, and the contact block body changes from the initial vertical length being greater than the horizontal length to the horizontal length being greater than the vertical length. The side of the contact block body can contact the inner side of the extruded deformation plate, causing the deformation plate to further deform. After the deformation plate is squeezed by the deformation plate, its arched protrusion becomes larger, and the side of the deformation plate can contact the side of the terminal body more closely, thereby making the terminal body more stably fixed inside the terminal docking groove, further reducing the possibility of the terminal body loosening from the inside of the terminal docking groove.

[0021] When the fixed plate body drives the extrusion block to perform the docking operation, the bending positioning plate arranged on the side of the lower surface of the fixed plate body is synchronously nested and docked into the inside of the interference groove opened on the connector body. Driven by its own elastic force, the bending positioning plate can be in close contact with the inside of the interference groove, thereby further improving the stability of the docking assembly of the fixed plate body.

[0026] The terminal docking groove 3 is arranged in a special-shaped structure. When the terminal body 2 is docked to the inside of the terminal docking groove 3, the special-shaped terminal docking groove 3 can restrict the side of the terminal body 2, reduce the probability of the mold workpiece being too weak and being scrapped during docking, and improve the production efficiency of the product while enhancing the strength of the workpiece.

[0028] When the terminal body 2 is connected to the terminal connection groove 3, the terminal body 2 will contact the deformation plate 13 and slide along the side of the arched inclined structure at the upper end of the deformation plate 13. The end of the terminal body 2 can be initially guided by the deformation plate 13 to provide auxiliary limiting guidance, so that the terminal body 2 can be connected to the terminal connection groove 3 more smoothly and conveniently, reducing the misalignment of the end of the terminal body 2 during connection, thereby causing the terminal body 2 to be squeezed and damaged. After the connection of the terminal body 2 is completed, the side of the deformation plate 13 is not affected by the squeezing of the end of the terminal body 2. At this time, the deformation plate 13 is reset, and the arched convex part of the deformation plate 13 can contact the side of the terminal body 2 under the elastic force of the deformation plate 13 itself, and exert a contacting and squeezing force on the side of the terminal body 2. At this time, the terminal body 2 can be stably located in the terminal connection groove 3 under the influence of the squeezing force, so that the connection between the terminal connection groove 3 and the terminal body 2 is more stable.

[0029] Embodiment 3: Figure 2-Figure 9 The technical scheme shown in the invention provides the following technical scheme: a terminal hole reinforcement connector, disclosing a reinforcement mechanism, through which the possibility of the terminal body 2 being loosened from the inside of the terminal docking groove 3 can be further reduced: a reinforcement mechanism is also provided on the connector body 1, and the reinforcement mechanism cooperates with the resistance mechanism through the extrusion block 8 contained therein to further limit and fix the terminal body 2, a fixing groove 5 is provided on the upper side of the connector body 1, and a bending positioning plate 6 is nested and connected inside the fixing groove 5, and the upper end of the bending positioning plate 6 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate body 4, the fixing groove 5 is symmetrically arranged with two groups about the center point of the connector body 1, the bending positioning plate 6 is arranged in a "U"-shaped structure, and the bending positioning plate 6 is made of an elastic and variable structural material, the side of the bending positioning plate 6 is in contact and fit with the inner wall of the fixing groove 5, and the reinforcement mechanism includes a fixing shaft 10, and the fixing shaft 10 is fixed The fixing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the interference groove 9, and the outside of the fixed shaft 10 is nested with a interference block body 11, and a spring 12 is fixedly connected between the side of the interference block body 11 and the inside of the interference groove 9, the extrusion block 8 is fixed to the lower surface of the fixed plate body 4 at equal intervals, and the extrusion block 8 is nested and docked to the inside of the interference groove 9. When the extrusion block 8 is docked with the interference groove 9, the lower end of the extrusion block 8 contacts the side of the interference block body 11, and the interference block body 11 is arranged in an elliptical structure. In the initial state, the vertical length of the interference block body 11 is greater than the horizontal length, and the interference block body 11 forms a rotating structure with the fixed shaft 10 through the extrusion block 8, and the interference block body 11 forms an elastic structure with the interference groove 9 through the spring 12. The interference block body 11 is located on the inner side of the deformation plate 13, and the side of the interference block body 11 is in contact with the inner side of the deformation plate 13 in the docking state, and the deformation plate 13 is elastically deformed by the interference block body 11.

At this time, the horizontal length of the block body 11 is longer, and the side of the block body 11 can contact the inner side of the extruded deformation plate 13, so that the deformation plate 13 is further deformed. After the deformation plate 13 is squeezed by the deformation plate 13, the arched protrusion of the deformation plate 13 becomes larger, and the side of the deformation plate 13 can be more closely in contact with the side of the terminal body 2, so that the terminal body 2 is fixed more stably inside the terminal docking groove 3, and the possibility of the terminal body 2 loosening from the inside of the terminal docking groove 3 is further reduced.
