Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of electronic devices, and specifically relates to a connection component and an electronic device component. Background Art
[0002] With the development of technology, electronic devices have gradually entered the lives of the public. Electronic devices include AR (Augmented Reality) glasses, VR (Virtual Reality) glasses, MR (Mix Reality) glasses, and so on.
[0003] An electronic device can be electrically connected to an external device. Specifically, the external device includes a power cord and a plug. The power cord is connected to the plug, and the electronic device includes a socket. The plug is connected to the socket.
[0004] When the electronic device and the external device are in a connected state, the use of the electronic device in a working state may cause the socket to shake. For example, when a user wears a head-mounted electronic device, and the head-mounted electronic device is connected to a mobile phone or a computer through a plug, as the user's head shakes, the plug is likely to become loose from the socket, resulting in poor electrical contact and unable to meet the usage requirement of stable electrical connection between the electronic device and the external device in the working state. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application aims to provide a connection component and an electronic device component, which solves the problem in the related art that there is no limiting structure between the socket and the plug, and when the socket shakes, the plug is likely to become loose from the socket, resulting in poor electrical contact.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:
[0007] A first aspect embodiment of the present application provides a connection component, comprising: a socket; a plug, one of the socket and the plug includes a guiding cylinder, and the other includes a groove-shaped structure; the guiding cylinder is provided with a first terminal, a second terminal and a first signal transmission part, the inner peripheral wall of the guiding cylinder surrounds the first terminal, at least a part of the second terminal exposes the inner peripheral wall of the guiding cylinder, at least a part of the first signal transmission part exposes the outer peripheral wall of the guiding cylinder, and the second terminal includes a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm; the groove-shaped structure is provided with a first mating terminal, a second mating terminal and a second signal transmission part, the second mating terminal is located between the first mating terminal and the inner side wall of the groove-shaped structure, and at least a part of the second signal transmission part exposes the inner side wall of the groove-shaped structure; when the plug is connected to the socket, the guiding cylinder is inserted into the groove-shaped structure, the first terminal is inserted into the first mating terminal and electrically connected to the first mating terminal, the second mating terminal is clamped between the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm and electrically connected to the second terminal, and the first signal transmission part and the second signal transmission part are snap-fitted and electrically connected for data transmission; one of the first terminal and the second terminal is a power supply terminal, and the other is a ground terminal.
[0008] A second aspect embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device component, comprising: an electronic device; and the connection component as in the first aspect, wherein the socket is provided on the electronic device.
[0009] In an embodiment of the present application, the connection component includes a socket and a plug.
[0010] The socket includes a guiding cylinder, and the plug includes a groove-shaped structure. The guiding cylinder is provided with a first terminal, a second terminal and a first signal transmission part. The groove-shaped structure is provided with a first mating terminal, a second mating terminal and a second signal transmission part.
[0011] Alternatively, the plug includes a guiding cylinder, and the socket includes a groove-shaped structure. The guiding cylinder is provided with a first terminal, a second terminal and a first signal transmission part. The groove-shaped structure is provided with a first mating terminal, a second mating terminal and a second signal transmission part.
[0012] When the plug is connected to the socket, the first terminal is electrically connected to the first mating terminal, the second terminal is electrically connected to the second mating terminal, and the first signal transmission part is electrically connected to the second signal transmission part, so that the plug and the socket are electrically connected, and the use requirement that an external device with a plug can supply power to an electronic device with a socket can be met. Specifically, the first signal transmission part and the second signal transmission part are electrically connected for data transmission.
[0013] Further, the inner peripheral wall of the guiding cylinder surrounds the first terminal, at least a part of the second terminal is exposed from the inner peripheral wall of the guiding cylinder, and at least a part of the first signal transmission part is exposed from the outer peripheral wall of the guiding cylinder. The second mating terminal is located between the first mating terminal and the inner side wall of the groove-shaped structure, and at least a part of the second signal transmission part is exposed from the inner side wall of the groove-shaped structure. Exemplarily, the first mating terminal is a tubular terminal. In this way, when the electronic device needs to be charged or the electronic device needs to be electrically connected to an external device, the user pinches the plug and approaches the socket, and the plug is inserted into the socket. The first terminal will be inserted into the tubular first mating terminal, and the guiding cylinder will be inserted into the groove-shaped structure. The mating manner between the first terminal and the first mating terminal and the mating manner between the guiding cylinder and the groove-shaped structure can play a guiding role, enabling the plug to be smoothly inserted into the socket. As the insertion depth of the plug increases, the second terminal will contact the second mating terminal, and the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm of the second terminal will clamp the second mating terminal, so that the second mating terminal is clamped between the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm. At the same time, the first signal transmission part will contact and be snap-fitted with the second signal transmission part.
[0014] It can be understood that when the first terminal is inserted into the first mating terminal, the mating position of the socket and the plug can be restricted in the circumferential direction of the guiding cylinder. When the guiding cylinder is inserted into the groove-shaped structure, the mating position of the socket and the plug can be restricted in the circumferential direction and the radial direction of the guiding cylinder. The second mating terminal is clamped between the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm, and the mating position of the socket and the plug can be restricted in the axial direction, the circumferential direction and the radial direction of the guiding cylinder. The first signal transmission part and the second signal transmission part are snap-fitted, and the mating position of the socket and the plug can be restricted in the axial direction, the circumferential direction and the radial direction of the guiding cylinder. This setting restricts the mating position of the socket and the plug in multiple ways and in multiple directions. In this way, even if the socket shakes, the plug will not come off from the socket, ensuring the reliability of the conductive contact between the socket and the plug.
[0015] It can be seen from this that by reasonably setting the mating structure of the socket and the plug, the use requirements for the effective electrical connection between the socket and the plug can be met. At the same time, even if the user shakes the body when wearing the electronic device, the socket and the plug can still be effectively electrically connected, and the use scenario during the charging of the electronic device is not limited, which is beneficial to improving the use performance and market competitiveness of the product.
[0016] It can be understood that the present application reasonably arranges the mating structures of the guide cylinder, the groove-shaped structure, the first terminal, the second terminal, the first signal transmission part, the first mating terminal, the second mating terminal, and the second signal transmission part, so that the first terminal can not only be electrically connected to the first mating terminal, but also play a role in restricting the mating position of the socket and the plug. The second terminal can not only be electrically connected to the second mating terminal, but also play a role in restricting the mating position of the socket and the plug. The first signal transmission part can not only be electrically connected to the second signal transmission part, but also play a role in restricting the mating position of the socket and the plug. It enriches the usage functions of the first terminal, the second terminal, the first signal transmission part, the first mating terminal, the second mating terminal, and the second signal transmission part, avoids additional investment in other devices to restrict the mating position of the socket and the plug, the alignment of the socket and the plug is simple, easy to operate, and the production cost is low.

[0059] The following Figures 1 to 33 describes the connection component 10 and the electronic device component provided by the embodiment of the present application.
[0060] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 17 、 Figure 18 、 Figure 19 、 Figure 20 、 Figure 21 、 Figure 22 、 Figure 23 、 Figure 24 、 Figure 25 、 Figure 26 、 Figure 27 、 Figure 28 、 Figure 29 、 Figure 30 and Figure 32As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a connection component 10 is proposed, including: a socket 12; a plug 14, one of the socket 12 and the plug 14 includes a guiding cylinder 100, and the other includes a groove-shaped structure 200; the guiding cylinder 100 is provided with a first terminal 300, a second terminal 400 and a first signal transmission part 500, the inner peripheral wall 110 of the guiding cylinder surrounds the first terminal 300, at least a part of the second terminal 400 is exposed from the inner peripheral wall 110 of the guiding cylinder, at least a part of the first signal transmission part 500 is exposed from the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guiding cylinder, and the second terminal 400 includes a first elastic arm 410 and a second elastic arm 420; the groove-shaped structure 200 is provided with a first mating terminal 600, a second mating terminal 700 and a second signal transmission part 800, the second mating terminal 700 is located between the first mating terminal 600 and the inner side wall 210 of the groove-shaped structure, and at least a part of the second signal transmission part 800 is exposed from the inner side wall 210 of the groove-shaped structure; when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the guiding cylinder 100 is inserted into the groove-shaped structure 200, the first terminal 300 is inserted into the first mating terminal 600 and electrically connected to the first mating terminal 600, the second mating terminal 700 is clamped between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 and electrically connected to the second terminal 400, and the first signal transmission part 500 and the second signal transmission part 800 are clamped and electrically connected for data transmission; one of the first terminal 300 and the second terminal 400 is a power terminal, and the other is a ground terminal.
[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the connection component 10 includes a socket 12 and a plug 14.
[0062] The socket 12 includes a guiding cylinder 100, and the plug 14 includes a groove-shaped structure 200. The guiding cylinder 100 is provided with a first terminal 300, a second terminal 400 and a first signal transmission part 500. The groove-shaped structure 200 is provided with a first mating terminal 600, a second mating terminal 700 and a second signal transmission part 800.
[0063] Alternatively, the plug 14 includes a guiding cylinder 100, and the socket 12 includes a groove-shaped structure 200. The guiding cylinder 100 is provided with a first terminal 300, a second terminal 400 and a first signal transmission part 500. The groove-shaped structure 200 is provided with a first mating terminal 600, a second mating terminal 700 and a second signal transmission part 800.
[0064] When the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the first terminal 300 is electrically connected to the first mating terminal 600, the second terminal 400 is electrically connected to the second mating terminal 700, and the first signal transmission part 500 is electrically connected to the second signal transmission part 800, so that the plug 14 and the socket 12 are electrically connected, meeting the usage requirement that an external device with the plug 14 supplies power to an electronic device with the socket 12. Specifically, the first signal transmission part 500 is electrically connected to the second signal transmission part 800 for data transmission.
[0065] Furthermore, the inner peripheral wall 110 of the guiding cylinder surrounds the first terminal 300, at least a part of the second terminal 400 is exposed from the inner peripheral wall 110 of the guiding cylinder, and at least a part of the first signal transmission part 500 is exposed from the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guiding cylinder. The second mating terminal 700 is located between the first mating terminal 600 and the inner side wall 210 of the groove-shaped structure, and at least a part of the second signal transmission part 800 is exposed from the inner side wall 210 of the groove-shaped structure. Exemplarily, the first mating terminal 600 is a tubular terminal. Thus, when power supply to the electronic device is needed, the user pinches the plug 14 and approaches the socket 12, and the plug 14 is inserted into the socket 12. The first terminal 300 will be inserted into the tubular first mating terminal 600, and the guiding cylinder 100 will be inserted into the groove-shaped structure 200. The mating manner between the first terminal 300 and the first mating terminal 600 and the mating manner between the guiding cylinder 100 and the groove-shaped structure 200 can play a guiding role, enabling the plug 14 to be smoothly inserted into the socket 12. As the insertion depth of the plug 14 increases, the second terminal 400 will contact the second mating terminal 700, and the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 of the second terminal 400 will clamp the second mating terminal 700, making the second mating terminal 700 clamped between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420. At the same time, the first signal transmission part 500 will contact and be snap-fitted with the second signal transmission part 800.
[0066] It can be understood that when the first terminal 300 is inserted into the first mating terminal 600, the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14 can be restricted circumferentially along the guiding cylinder 100. When the guiding cylinder 100 is inserted into the groove-shaped structure 200, the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14 can be restricted circumferentially and radially along the guiding cylinder 100. When the second mating terminal 700 is clamped between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420, the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14 can be restricted axially, circumferentially and radially along the guiding cylinder 100. When the first signal transmission part 500 and the second signal transmission part 800 are snap-fitted, the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14 can be restricted axially, circumferentially and radially along the guiding cylinder 100. This setting restricts the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14 in multiple ways and in multiple directions. In this way, even if the socket 12 shakes, the plug 14 will not detach from the socket 12, ensuring the reliability of the electrical contact between the socket 12 and the plug 14.
[0067] It can be seen from this that by reasonably setting the mating structure of the socket 12 and the plug 14, the use requirements for the effective electrical connection between the socket 12 and the plug 14 can be met. At the same time, even when the user shakes the body while wearing the electronic device, the socket 12 and the plug 14 can still be effectively electrically connected, and the use scenario during the charging of the electronic device is not limited, which is beneficial to improving the use performance and market competitiveness of the product.
[0068] It can be understood that the application reasonably sets the mating structures of the guiding cylinder 100, the groove-shaped structure 200, the first terminal 300, the second terminal 400, the first signal transmission part 500, the first mating terminal 600, the second mating terminal 700 and the second signal transmission part 800, so that the first terminal 300 can not only be electrically connected to the first mating terminal 600, but also play a role in restricting the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14. The second terminal 400 can not only be electrically connected to the second mating terminal 700, but also play a role in restricting the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14. The first signal transmission part 500 can not only be electrically connected to the second signal transmission part 800, but also play a role in restricting the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14. The use functions of the first terminal 300, the second terminal 400, the first signal transmission part 500, the first mating terminal 600, the second mating terminal 700 and the second signal transmission part 800 are enriched, and there is no need to additionally invest other devices to restrict the mating position of the socket 12 and the plug 14. The alignment of the socket 12 and the plug 14 is simple, convenient to operate, and the production cost is low.
[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, at least one of the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 extends out of the open end 220 of the trough-shaped structure.
[0070] In this embodiment, the mating structures of the first mating terminal 600, the second mating terminal 700, and the trough-shaped structure 200 are defined.
[0071] At least one of the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 extends out of the open end 220 of the trough-shaped structure. That is, the first mating terminal 600 extends out of the open end 220 of the trough-shaped structure, and / or the second mating terminal 700 extends out of the open end 220 of the trough-shaped structure.
[0072] This setting enables at least one of the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 to extend into the guiding cylinder 100 when the plug 14 and the socket 12 are connected in alignment, so as to play a guiding role, enabling the plug 14 and the socket 12 to be effectively and smoothly aligned, and reducing the difficulty in assembling the plug 14 and the socket 12. In this way, when the electronic device is in a worn state, the plug 14 and the socket 12 can be blindly inserted for charging, which is beneficial to improving the use performance and market competitiveness of the product.
[0073] In some embodiments, when both the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 extend out of the open end 220 of the trough-shaped structure, along the direction from the inner bottom wall 230 of the trough-shaped structure to the open end 220 of the trough-shaped structure, the length of the part of the first mating terminal 600 located outside the trough-shaped structure 200 is greater than the length of the part of the second mating terminal 700 located outside the trough-shaped structure 200.
[0074] In this embodiment, when both the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 extend out of the open end 220 of the trough-shaped structure, the lengths of the parts of the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 extending outside the trough-shaped structure 200 are different.
[0075] Specifically, along the direction from the inner bottom wall 230 of the trough-shaped structure to the open end 220 of the trough-shaped structure, the length of the part of the first mating terminal 600 located outside the trough-shaped structure 200 is greater than the length of the part of the second mating terminal 700 located outside the trough-shaped structure 200.
[0076] That is, when the electronic device needs to be charged, the first terminal 300 is first inserted into the first mating terminal 600, and the first terminal 300 and the first mating terminal 600 cooperate to have a guiding effect. Then, the guiding cylinder 100 is inserted into the trough-shaped structure 200, and the guiding cylinder 100 and the trough-shaped structure 200 cooperate to have a guiding effect. As the insertion depth of the plug 14 increases, the second terminal 400 and the second mating terminal 700 also start to contact and the second mating terminal 700 is clamped between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420.
[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, both the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 include a first convex portion 430; when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the second mating terminal 700 is clamped between the first convex portion 430 of the first elastic arm 410 and the first convex portion 430 of the second elastic arm 420, and the distance between the first convex portion 430 of the first elastic arm 410 and the first convex portion 430 of the second elastic arm 420 is L1; when the plug 14 is separated from the socket 12, the distance between the first convex portion 430 of the first elastic arm 410 and the first convex portion 430 of the second elastic arm 420 is L2; wherein, L2 < L1.
[0078] In this embodiment, the mating structure of the first elastic arm 410, the second elastic arm 420 and the second mating terminal 700 is defined.
[0079] The first elastic arm 410 includes a first convex portion 430, and the second elastic arm 420 includes a first convex portion 430.
[0080] When the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the second mating terminal 700 is clamped between the first convex portion 430 of the first elastic arm 410 and the first convex portion 430 of the second elastic arm 420. That is to say, the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 clamp the second mating terminal 700 through the first convex portion 430.
[0081] When the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the distance between the first convex portion 430 of the first elastic arm 410 and the first convex portion 430 of the second elastic arm 420 is L1.
[0082] When the plug 14 is separated from the socket 12, the distance between the first convex portion 430 of the first elastic arm 410 and the first convex portion 430 of the second elastic arm 420 is L2.
[0083] Wherein, L2 < L1, that is to say, the width of the portion of the second mating terminal 700 located between the first convex portion 430 of the first elastic arm 410 and the first convex portion 430 of the second elastic arm 420 is smaller than the distance between the two first convex portions 430 when the second terminal 400 is in the initial state. The first convex portion 430 of the first elastic arm 410 and the first convex portion 430 of the second elastic arm 420 can effectively clamp the second mating terminal 700. In this way, not only can the effective electrical connection between the second terminal 400 and the second mating terminal 700 be ensured, but also the mating position of the plug 14 and the socket 12 can be restricted, avoiding the situation that the plug 14 disengages from the socket 12 when the socket 12 shakes.
[0084] In some embodiments, such asFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , both the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 include a first recess 440. The first recess 440 is located on the side of the first protrusion 430 away from the bottom of the guide cylinder 100, and the recess direction of the first recess 440 is different from the recess direction of the first protrusion 430. The guide cylinder 100 is provided with a first card slot 130 and a second card slot 140. The first recess 440 of the first elastic arm 410 is clamped with the first card slot 130, and the first recess 440 of the second elastic arm 420 is clamped with the second card slot 140.
[0085] In this embodiment, the structures of the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 are further defined.
[0086] The first elastic arm 410 includes a first recess 440 and a first protrusion 430. The first recess 440 is located on the side of the first protrusion 430 away from the bottom of the guide cylinder 100, and the recess direction of the first recess 440 is different from the recess direction of the first protrusion 430. The first recess 440 of the first elastic arm 410 is clamped with the first card slot 130. The slot wall of the first card slot 130 has the function of limiting the first recess 440. The matching structure of the first recess 440 and the first card slot 130 has the function of supporting the first protrusion 430, which can ensure the matching dimension between the first protrusion 430 and the second mating terminal 700 when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, so that the first elastic arm 410 can clamp the second mating terminal 700, and can generate a large positive force to press the first protrusion 430 against the second mating terminal 700, thereby fastening the plug 14 and the socket 12.
[0087] The second elastic arm 420 includes a first recess 440 and a first protrusion 430. The first recess 440 is located on the side of the first protrusion 430 away from the bottom of the guide cylinder 100, and the recess direction of the first recess 440 is different from the recess direction of the first protrusion 430. The first recess 440 of the second elastic arm 420 is clamped with the second card slot 140. The slot wall of the second card slot 140 has the function of limiting the first recess 440. The matching structure of the first recess 440 and the second card slot 140 has the function of supporting the first protrusion 430, which can ensure the matching dimension between the first protrusion 430 and the second mating terminal 700 when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, so that the second elastic arm 420 can clamp the second mating terminal 700, and can generate a large positive force to press the first protrusion 430 against the second mating terminal 700, thereby fastening the plug 14 and the socket 12.
[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 19 and Figure 20As shown, the groove structure 200 is further provided with a separation cylinder 900 , and the separation cylinder 900 is located between the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 .
[0089] In this embodiment, the groove structure 200 is further provided with a separation cylinder 900, which is located between the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700. The separation cylinder 900 has the function of separating the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 to avoid the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 from being in electrical contact, which can meet the safety requirements of the connection assembly 10 and provide structural support for the effective electrical connection between the plug 14 and the socket 12.
[0090] In some embodiments, Figure 7 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 , Figure 21 , Figure 24 and Figure 26 As shown, the first signal transmission part 500 includes a plurality of first clamping arms 510, and the second signal transmission part 800 includes a plurality of second clamping arms 810. The plurality of first clamping arms 510 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the guide cylinder 100, and each first clamping arm 510 cooperates with a second clamping arm 810; one of the first clamping arm 510 and the second clamping arm 810 includes a second protrusion 512, and the other includes a strip segment 812 and a second recess 814, the second recess 814 is connected to one side of the strip segment 812, and the second protrusion 512 and the second recess 814 are recessed in opposite directions; when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the second protrusion 512 is clamped at the connection between the strip segment 812 and the second recess 814; the plurality of first clamping arms 510 include at least one signal sending arm 510a and at least one signal receiving arm 510b.
[0091] In this embodiment, a matching structure of the first signal transmission portion 500 and the second signal transmission portion 800 is defined.
[0092] The first signal transmission part 500 includes a plurality of first clamping arms 510, and the second signal transmission part 800 includes a plurality of second clamping arms 810. The number of the first clamping arms 510 and the number of the second clamping arms 810 are the same, and the plurality of first clamping arms 510 and the plurality of second clamping arms 810 correspond one to one.
[0093] One of the first clamping arm 510 and the second clamping arm 810 includes a second convex portion 512, and the other includes a bar segment 812 and a second concave portion 814. The second concave portion 814 is connected to one side of the bar segment 812, and the second convex portion 512 and the second concave portion 814 are concave in opposite directions. The second convex portion 512 is used in conjunction with the bar segment 812 and the second concave portion 814.
[0094] When the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the second convex portion 512 is clamped at the connection between the strip segment 812 and the second concave portion 814.
[0095] It can be understood that both the first clamping arm 510 and the second clamping arm 810 are elastic members.
[0096] The strip segment 812 and the second concave portion 814 cooperate to form a stepped structure. As Figure 7 shown, taking the example that the first clamping arm 510 includes the second convex portion 512, when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the second convex portion 512 can be pressed against the second clamping arm 810 under the action of the forward force F3 to form a stable contact. When the plug 14 moves in a direction away from the socket 12, the second convex portion 512 can slide to the second concave portion 814. At this time, a force F is generated at the second convex portion 512, and the force F is decomposed into a component force F1 and a component force F2. The component force F1 will resist the outward pulling of the plug 14, that is, the component force F1 is the holding force that prevents the plug 14 from being pulled out, and plays a role in preventing the plug 14 from loosening.
[0097] It can be understood that when the user wants to unplug the plug 14, applying a force greater than the holding force of the plug 14 to the plug 14 can cause the plug 14 to be disengaged from the socket 12.
[0098] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 、 Figure 15 、 Figure 22 、 Figure 23 、 Figure 25 、 Figure 28 、 Figure 29 、 Figure 30 、 Figure 31 、 Figure 32 and Figure 33 shown, the socket 12 or the plug 14 having the guide cylinder 100 further includes a first connecting member 1000; the plug 14 or the socket 12 having the groove-shaped structure 200 further includes a second connecting member 1100; the first connecting member 1000 includes a first mating portion 1010, and the second connecting member 1100 includes a second mating portion 1110; when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 are detachably connected.
[0099] In this embodiment, the structure of the connection assembly 10 is defined.
[0100] The socket 12 or the plug 14 having the guide cylinder 100 further includes a first connecting member 1000; the plug 14 or the socket 12 having the groove-shaped structure 200 further includes a second connecting member 1100. That is, the socket 12 includes the guide cylinder 100 and the first connecting member 1000, and the plug 14 includes the groove-shaped structure 200 and the second connecting member 1100. Or, the plug 14 includes the guide cylinder 100 and the first connecting member 1000, and the socket 12 includes the groove-shaped structure 200 and the second connecting member 1100.
[0101] The first connecting member 1000 includes a first mating portion 1010, and the second connecting member 1100 includes a second mating portion 1110. The first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 are used in cooperation.
[0102] Specifically, when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 are detachably connected. That is, when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12 and the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 are connected, the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 have the function of further limiting the mating position of the plug 14 and the socket 12 to prevent the plug 14 from loosening. That is, the first mating portion 1010, the second mating portion 1110, the guide cylinder 100, the groove-shaped structure 200, the first terminal 300, the second terminal 400, the first signal transmission portion 500, the first mating terminal 600, the second mating terminal 700, and the second signal transmission portion 800 cooperate to prevent the plug 14 from loosening when the socket 12 shakes.
[0103] In some embodiments, the number of both the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 is multiple, and each first mating portion 1010 cooperates with one second mating portion 1110; the multiple first mating portions 1010 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the guide cylinder 100.
[0104] In this embodiment, the number and mating structure of the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 are defined.
[0105] The number of the first mating portion 1010 is multiple, and the number of the second mating portion 1110 is multiple.
[0106] Specifically, the number of the first mating portion 1010 is the same as the number of the second mating portion 1110. Or, the number of the first mating portion 1010 is the same as the number of the second mating portion 1110.
[0107] Among them, each first mating portion 1010 mates with a second mating portion 1110, and the plurality of first mating portions 1010 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the guiding cylinder 100. When the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the plurality of first mating portions 1010 and the plurality of second mating portions 1110 mate to jointly limit the mating positions of the socket 12 and the plug 14 from multiple directions and multiple angles, avoiding the occurrence of the situation where the plug 14 is inclined relative to the socket 12, enabling the plug 14 to be effectively aligned and connected to the socket 12, and the plug 14 is not easily detached from the socket 12.
[0108] Exemplarily, when the electronic device needs to be charged, the user pinches the plug 14 and approaches the socket 12, and the plug 14 is inserted into the socket 12. The first terminal 300 will be inserted into the tubular first mating terminal 600, and the guiding cylinder 100 will be inserted into the groove-shaped structure 200. The mating manner between the first terminal 300 and the first mating terminal 600 and the mating manner between the guiding cylinder 100 and the groove-shaped structure 200 can play a guiding role, enabling the plug 14 to be smoothly inserted into the socket 12. As the insertion depth of the plug 14 increases, the second terminal 400 will contact the second mating terminal 700, and the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 of the second terminal 400 will clamp the second mating terminal 700, so that the second mating terminal 700 is clamped between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420. At the same time, the first signal transmission portion 500 will contact and be snap-fitted with the second signal transmission portion 800.
[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 30 , Figure 31 , Figure 32 and Figure 33 shown, the first mating portion 1010 exposes the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guiding cylinder, and the second mating portion 1110 exposes the inner side wall 210 of the groove-shaped structure; one of the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 is a third convex portion, and the other is a third concave portion.
[0110] In this embodiment, the mating structures of the first connecting member 1000, the guiding cylinder 100, the second connecting member 1100, and the groove-shaped structure 200 are further defined.
[0111] The first mating portion 1010 exposes the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guiding cylinder. That is, the guiding cylinder 100 serves as the installation carrier of the first connecting member 1000 and has the function of installing and fixing the first connecting member 1000. However, the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guiding cylinder does not block the first mating portion 1010 of the first connecting member 1000, and the first mating portion 1010 of the first connecting member 1000 can be exposed from the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guiding cylinder.
[0112] The second mating portion 1110 exposes the inner wall 210 of the groove structure. The groove structure 200 serves as the installation carrier for the second connecting member 1100 and functions to install and fix the second connecting member 1100. However, the inner wall 210 of the groove structure does not block the second mating portion 1110 of the second connecting member 1100, and the second mating portion 1110 of the second connecting member 1100 can expose the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guide cylinder.
[0113] When assembling the plug 14 and the socket 12, the guide cylinder 100 is inserted into the groove structure 200, and the first mating portion 1010 that exposes the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guide cylinder and the second mating portion 1110 that exposes the inner wall 210 of the groove structure come into contact and are matingly connected.
[0114] The mating position of the guide cylinder 100 and the groove structure 200 indirectly defines the mating dimensions of the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110. While ensuring the effective connection of the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110, it can also limit the gap between the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 to prevent the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 from becoming loose.
[0115] One of the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 is a third convex portion, and the other is a third concave portion. That is, the first mating portion 1010 is the third convex portion and the second mating portion 1110 is the third concave portion, and the third concave portion can be snap-fitted with the third convex portion. Alternatively, the second mating portion 1110 is the third convex portion and the first mating portion 1010 is the third concave portion, and the third concave portion can be snap-fitted with the third convex portion.
[0116] Exemplarily, after the guide cylinder 100 is inserted into the groove structure 200, the third convex portion is made to fall into the third concave portion by rotating the plug 14 to lock the plug 14 and the socket 12.
[0117] In some embodiments, as Figure 30 and Figure 31 shown, the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guide cylinder is provided with an installation groove 122. The first connecting member 1000 further includes: an arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 located in the installation groove 122, and a plurality of first mating portions 1010 are all provided on the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020. The arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 protrudes in a direction away from the bottom of the installation groove 122, and the portion of the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 opposite to the first mating portion 1010 has a gap with the bottom of the installation groove 122; a first connecting plate 1030 and a second connecting plate 1040. Along the axial direction of the guide cylinder 100, the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 is connected between the first connecting plate 1030 and the second connecting plate 1040, and both the first connecting plate 1030 and the second connecting plate 1040 are inserted into the installation groove 122.
[0118] In this embodiment, the structure of the first connecting member 1000 is defined.
[0119] The first connecting member 1000 includes a first mating portion 1010, an arc-shaped elastic arm 1020, a first connecting plate 1030, and a second connecting plate 1040.
[0120] A plurality of first mating portions 1010 are all arranged on the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020. Among them, the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 protrudes in a direction away from the bottom of the mounting groove 122. The arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 serves as a mounting carrier for the plurality of first mating portions 1010 and has the function of mounting and fixing the plurality of first mating portions 1010.
[0121] After the guiding cylinder 100 is inserted into the groove-shaped structure 200, the third convex portion is inserted into the third concave portion, and the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 is pressed and sinks, generating a positive force on the second connecting member 1100 to lock the plug 14 and the socket 12. A portion of the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 opposite to the first mating portion 1010 has a gap with the bottom of the mounting groove 122. This gap provides an assembly space for the insertion and mating of the third concave portion and the third convex portion, can reduce the resistance when the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 are connected in position, and improve the user's operating feel.
[0122] In addition, along the axial direction of the guiding cylinder 100, the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 is connected between the first connecting plate 1030 and the second connecting plate 1040, and both the first connecting plate 1030 and the second connecting plate 1040 are inserted into the mounting groove 122. The first connecting plate 1030 and the second connecting plate 1040 have the function of fixing the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 in the mounting groove 122.
[0123] In some embodiments, as Figure 30 and Figure 31 shown, the first connecting member 1000 further includes: two support segments 1050. Along the circumferential direction of the guiding cylinder 100, the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 is connected between the two support segments 1050, and the support segments 1050 are recessed in a direction towards the bottom of the mounting groove 122; when the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, along the circumferential direction of the guiding cylinder 100, the support segments 1050 are in contact with the side wall of the mounting groove 122; when the plug 14 is separated from the socket 12, the support segments 1050 have a gap with the side wall of the mounting groove 122.
[0124] In this embodiment, the structure of the first connecting member 1000 is further defined.
[0125] The first connecting member 1000 further includes two support segments 1050. Along the circumferential direction of the guiding cylinder 100, the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 is connected between the two support segments 1050, and the support segments 1050 are recessed in a direction towards the bottom of the mounting groove 122.
[0126] When the first connecting member 1000 is pressed, the support segments 1050 can slide in the mounting groove 122.
[0127] Specifically, when the plug 14 is separated from the socket 12, there is a gap between the support section 1050 and the groove side wall of the installation groove 122, that is, the support section 1050 and the groove side wall of the installation groove 122 are arranged at intervals.
[0128] When the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 is deformed under pressure and sinks. The arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 drives the two support sections 1050 to slide along the circumferential direction of the guide cylinder 100 until the support section 1050 abuts against the groove side wall of the installation groove 122. When the support section 1050 abuts against the groove side wall of the installation groove 122, the support section 1050 can support the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 and prevent the arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 from sinking further, thereby generating a large positive force to fasten the plug 14 and the socket 12 and prevent the plug 14 from loosening.
[0129] In some embodiments, the number of the second connectors 1100 is multiple, and each second connector 1100 is provided with at least one second mating portion 1110; the multiple second connectors 1100 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first mating terminal 600.
[0130] In this embodiment, the number and the installation position of the second connectors 1100 are defined.
[0131] The number of the second connectors 1100 is multiple, and the multiple second connectors 1100 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first mating terminal 600. Exemplarily, the second connectors 1100 are arranged in the groove-shaped structure 200 in an embedded manner, and the second mating portions 1110 on the second connectors 1100 can expose the inner side wall 210 of the groove-shaped structure.
[0132] Wherein, each second connector 1100 is provided with at least one second mating portion 1110.
[0133] This setting enables the multiple second connectors 1100 to be dispersedly arranged in the groove-shaped structure 200, which can enhance the stability and reliability of the assembly of the multiple second connectors 1100 and the groove-shaped structure 200.
[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 , Figure 15 , Figure 23 and Figure 25As shown, the socket 12 or the plug 14 with the guiding cylinder 100 further includes a mounting portion 1200. The mounting portion 1200 surrounds the circumferential side of the guiding cylinder 100. The first connecting member 1000 is provided on the mounting portion 1200. The second connecting member 1100 is provided on the groove-shaped structure 200, and the second connecting member 1100 is located between the inner side wall 210 and the outer side wall 240 of the groove-shaped structure. At least one of the first engaging portion 1010 and the second engaging portion 1110 is a magnetic portion. When the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, the first engaging portion 1010 and the second engaging portion 1110 are magnetically attracted to each other.
[0135] In this embodiment, the mating structures of the first connecting member 1000, the guiding cylinder 100, the second connecting member 1100, and the groove-shaped structure 200 are further defined.
[0136] The socket 12 or the plug 14 with the guiding cylinder 100 further includes a mounting portion 1200. The mounting portion 1200 surrounds the circumferential side of the guiding cylinder 100. That is, the socket 12 includes the guiding cylinder 100 and the mounting portion 1200, and the mounting portion 1200 surrounds the circumferential side of the guiding cylinder 100. Alternatively, the plug 14 includes the guiding cylinder 100 and the mounting portion 1200, and the mounting portion 1200 surrounds the circumferential side of the guiding cylinder 100.
[0137] The first connecting member 1000 is provided on the mounting portion 1200. Exemplarily, at least a part of the first engaging portion 1010 exposes the outer surface of the mounting portion 1200, or the first engaging portion 1010 is located inside the mounting portion 1200.
[0138] The second connecting member 1100 is provided on the groove-shaped structure 200, and the second connecting member 1100 is located between the inner side wall 210 and the outer side wall 240 of the groove-shaped structure. Exemplarily, at least a part of the second engaging portion 1110 exposes the outer surface of the groove-shaped structure 200, or the second engaging portion 1110 is located inside the groove-shaped structure 200.
[0139] Since the first engaging portion 1010 and the second engaging portion 1110 are magnetically attracted to each other, when assembling the plug 14 and the socket 12, the first engaging portion 1010 and the second engaging portion 1110 will generate a magnetic attraction force to guide the user to insert the plug 14 into the socket 12.
[0140] The mating plug 14 and the socket 12 have two situations. In the first situation, the plug 14 is aligned with and attracted to the socket 12, and the first signal transmission part 500 contacts the second signal transmission part 800, so as to output a signal to drive the start of the charging work. In the second situation, there is a yaw between the plug 14 and the socket 12. At this time, due to the attraction and repulsion of the polarities, the first mating part 1010 and the second mating part 1110 will make the plug 14 rotate to correct the yaw and make the first signal transmission part 500 contact the second signal transmission part 800, so as to output a signal to drive the start of the charging work. Of course, in the second situation, the first signal transmission part 500 and the second signal transmission part 800 can also be aligned and contacted by manually rotating the plug 14.

The installation identification portion 1300 functions to indicate the position for the docking connection between the socket 12 and the plug 14, so that when the plug 14 and the socket 12 are assembled according to the installation identification portion 1300, the first signal transmission portion 500 and the second signal transmission portion 800 can be in direct and effective contact.
[0147] The connection assembly 10 further includes a power cord 1400. The power cord 1400 is connected to the plug 14 and is used to connect to the battery of an external device to meet the usage requirement of charging the electronic device.
[0148] In some other embodiments of the present application, an electronic device assembly is proposed, including: an electronic device; and the connection assembly 10 of any of the above embodiments, where the socket 12 is provided on the electronic device. That is, the electronic device serves as the installation carrier of the socket 12 and functions to install and fix the socket 12. The socket 12 can be exposed on the outer surface of the electronic device, enabling the plug 14 to be docked with the socket 12.

[0150] Exemplarily, the connection assembly 10 of the present application includes a socket 12 and a plug 14. One of the socket 12 and the plug 14 includes a guide cylinder 100, and the other includes a groove-shaped structure 200. The guide cylinder 100 is provided with a first mating portion 1010, and the groove-shaped structure 200 is provided with a second mating portion 1110. At least one of the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 is a magnetic portion, and the first mating portion 1010 and the second mating portion 1110 are magnetically attracted to each other. This setting enables the user to blindly align the plug 14 and the socket 12. After the plug 14 and the socket 12 are aligned, gently press the plug 14, and the plug 14 and the socket 12 can be magnetically snapped together. This setting can automatically adjust the alignment of the plug 14 and the socket 12, and can also magnetically attract the plug 14 and the socket 12 together, effectively preventing the plug 14 from loosening, resisting the shaking of the socket 12 in all directions, and ensuring that the plug 14 can be in effective electrical contact with the socket 12 during the user's movement. If the plug 14 needs to be unplugged, the user can apply a certain pulling force to unplug the plug 14.
[0151] Exemplarily, the connection component 10 of the present application includes a socket 12 and a plug 14. One of the socket 12 and the plug 14 includes a guiding cylinder 100, and the other includes a groove-shaped structure 200. The guiding cylinder 100 is provided with a first engaging portion 1010, and the groove-shaped structure 200 is provided with a second engaging portion 1110. One of the first engaging portion 1010 and the second engaging portion 1110 is a third concave portion, and the other is a third convex portion. The third concave portion and the third convex portion are snap-connected. This setting enables the plug 14 to be locked with the socket 12 by rotating and fastening after the plug 14 is inserted into the socket 12, preventing the plug 14 from loosening, so as to resist the shaking of the socket 12 in all directions and ensure that the plug 14 can be effectively electrically connected to the socket 12 during the user's movement. After the plug 14 is inserted into the socket 12, it is locked by rotating and aligning. When pulling out the plug 14, the plug 14 can be rotated and pulled out, or the plug 14 can be directly pulled out.
[0152] Exemplarily, the socket 12 includes a first terminal 300, a second terminal 400, and a first signal transmission portion 500. One of the first terminal 300 and the second terminal 400 is a power supply terminal, and the other is a ground terminal. The first signal transmission portion 500 includes a signal sending arm 510a and a signal receiving arm 510b. Both the signal sending arm 510a and the signal receiving arm 510b are elastic arms. The plug 14 includes a first mating terminal 600, a second mating terminal 700, and a second signal transmission portion 800. The second signal transmission portion 800 includes two second clamping arms 810. Both of the two second clamping arms 810 are elastic arms. The first mating terminal 600 is used for electrically connecting with the first terminal 300, the second mating terminal 700 is used for electrically connecting with the second terminal 400, one second clamping arm 810 is used for electrically connecting with the signal sending arm 510a, and the other second clamping arm 810 is used for electrically connecting with the signal receiving arm 510b. When the plug 14 is connected to the socket 12, one second clamping arm 810 is snap-fitted with the signal sending arm 510a, and the other second clamping arm 810 is snap-fitted with the signal receiving arm 510b to provide a certain holding force for the plug 14 and prevent the plug 14 from shaking and disengaging.
[0153] Exemplarily, the first mating terminal 600 is a tubular terminal, and the first mating terminal 600 is a power supply terminal.
[0154] Exemplarily, the second mating terminal 700 is sleeved on the periphery of the first mating terminal 600, and the first mating terminal 600 and the second mating terminal 700 are separated by a separating cylinder 900. The separating cylinder 900 includes a plastic cylinder, a rubber cylinder, etc., which are not listed one by one here. The second mating terminal 700 is a ground terminal.
[0155] Exemplarily, the second signal transmission part 800 includes a plurality of second clamping arms 810, and the plurality of second clamping arms 810 include at least one signal sending arm 510a and at least one signal receiving arm 510b. The second clamping arms 810 are elastic arms, and the second clamping arms 810 include a strip segment 812 and a second recess 814. The strip segment 812 is used to contact the corresponding terminal of the socket 12, and the second recess 814 cooperates with the corresponding terminal of the socket 12 to generate a component force, forming a holding force for the plug 14.
[0156] Exemplarily, as Figure 24 shown, the plug 14 includes a first circuit board 1500, and the first circuit board 1500 is used for soldering each terminal of the plug 14 and transmitting current and signals. The first circuit board 1500 is a printed circuit board.
[0157] Exemplarily, the second connecting member 1100 of the plug 14 includes a magnet, and the magnet is used to align the positions when the plug 14 and the socket 12 are assembled, so that the plug 14 and the socket 12 are attracted tightly to prevent the plug 14 from loosening.
[0158] Exemplarily, the groove-shaped structure 200 is a plastic part, and the groove-shaped structure 200 is used to fix the terminals and the magnet and achieve insulation between the terminals.
[0159] Exemplarily, the power cord 1400 connects the battery and the plug 14, and the power cord 1400 is used to transmit current and signals.
[0160] Exemplarily, the terminals are wrapped and fixed in the groove-shaped structure 200 by injection molding and encapsulation.
[0161] Exemplarily, the first terminal 300 is a columnar terminal, and the first terminal 300 is a power terminal.
[0162] Exemplarily, the second terminal 400 is a spring arm type terminal, and when the second terminal 400 is pressed, a certain positive force is generated to ensure reliable contact between the second terminal 400 and the second mating terminal 700.
[0163] Exemplarily, the first signal transmission part 500 includes a plurality of first clamping arms 510, and the plurality of first clamping arms 510 include at least one signal sending arm 510a and at least one signal receiving arm 510b. The signal sending arm 510a and the signal receiving arm 510b are paired and cooperate, and can be one pair or multiple pairs. When the first clamping arm 510 is pressed, a certain positive force is generated to ensure reliable contact between the first signal transmission part 500 and the second signal transmission part 800. The first clamping arm 510 includes a second convex part 512, and this setting can not only make the contact more stable, but also cooperate with the terminal of the plug 14 to generate a holding force for the plug 14.
[0164] Exemplarily, as Figure 26As shown, the socket 12 includes a second circuit board 1600, which is used for soldering each terminal, transmitting current and signals, and is a printed circuit board.
[0165] Exemplarily, the first connector 1000 of the socket 12 includes a magnet, which is used to align the position when the plug 14 and the socket 12 are assembled, so that the plug 14 and the socket 12 are attracted tightly to prevent the plug 14 from loosening.
[0166] Exemplarily, the socket 12 includes a guiding cylinder 100 and a mounting portion 1200, both of which are plastic parts, which are used to fix the terminals and the magnet and achieve insulation between the terminals. For example, holes are opened in the plastic parts, and the terminals are fixed to the plastic in the way of "pin insertion".
[0167] When the user needs to charge an electronic device (such as an XR smart glasses), he can pinch the plug 14 by hand and approach the socket 12.
[0168] At this time, the magnet will generate magnetic attraction to guide the user to insert the plug 14 into the socket 12. The tubular first mating terminal 600 of the plug 14 will fit over the columnar first terminal 300 of the socket 12. The cross-sectional areas of the first terminal 300 and the first mating terminal 600 are relatively wide, suitable for large currents.
[0169] At this time, the first terminal 300 and the first mating terminal 600 form a guide, and the plastic guiding cylinder 100 of the socket 12 also plays a guiding role. The second terminal 400 of the socket 12 and the second mating terminal 700 of the plug 14 also start to contact. The second terminal 400 of the socket 12 in the form of a spring arm clamps the cylindrical second mating terminal 700 of the plug 14, so that even if the plug 14 shakes up and down or left and right to a certain extent, it can ensure stable contact between the plug 14 and the socket 12.
[0170] When the plug 14 is inserted to the end, there are two cases at this time. In the first case, the plug 14 and the socket 12 are attracted tightly in the correct position, and the first signal transmission part 500 and the second signal transmission part 800 are in contact, so as to output signals to drive the start of the charging work. In the second case, the plug 14 and the socket 12 have a yaw. At this time, due to the attraction and repulsion of the polarities of the magnets of the plug 14 and the socket 12, the plug 14 will rotate to correct the yaw, so that the first signal transmission part 500 and the second signal transmission part 800 are in contact. Of course, the plug 14 can also be manually rotated to the marked position, so that the signal sending arm 510a of the first signal transmission part 500 contacts the signal sending arm of the second signal transmission part 800, and the signal receiving arm 510b of the first signal transmission part 500 contacts the signal receiving arm of the second signal transmission part 800.
[0171] At this time, the magnetic attraction between the magnets can prevent the plug 14 from becoming loose. The second mating terminal 700 of the plug 14 is designed with an inclined position, and the second terminal 400 of the socket 12 also provides a certain holding force.
[0172] In addition to the function of being electrically connected to the first clamping arm 510, the second clamping arm 810 can also provide a holding force. Specifically, the first clamping arm 510 is a resilient arm. The first clamping arm 510 includes a second convex portion 512, and the second convex portion 512 is a circular bump. The second clamping arm 810 has a stepped structure. For example, the second clamping arm 810 includes a strip-shaped section 812 and a second concave portion 814. Under normal circumstances, the second convex portion 512 contacts the strip-shaped section 812 and presses the first clamping arm 510 under the action of the forward force F3 to form a stable contact. When pulling the plug 14 outwards, the second convex portion 512 slides to the second concave portion 814. At this time, the first clamping arm 510 generates a force F, and the component force F1 of the force F will resist the outward pulling of the plug 14, that is, the holding force that prevents the plug 14 from being pulled outwards, playing an auxiliary role in preventing the plug 14 from becoming loose.
[0173] When the user wants to unplug the plug 14, applying a force greater than the holding force of the plug 14 can cause the plug 14 to be disengaged. The plug 14 can also be manually rotated first to disengage the second convex portion 512 from the second concave portion 814. At this time, the holding force of the plug 14 is correspondingly reduced, and it is also easier to unplug the plug 14.
[0174] Exemplarily, the socket 12 includes a first connecting member 1000, and the plug 14 includes a plurality of second connecting members 1100. The first connecting member 1000 includes a plurality of first mating portions 1010 (such as, a third convex portion), and each second connecting member 1100 includes a second mating portion 1110 (such as, a third concave portion), and the third concave portion and the third convex portion cooperate with each other to lock.
[0175] Exemplarily, the socket 12 includes a first connecting member 1000, and the plug 14 includes a plurality of second connecting members 1100. The first connecting member 1000 includes a plurality of first mating portions 1010 (such as, a third concave portion), and each second connecting member 1100 includes a second mating portion 1110 (such as, a third convex portion), and the third concave portion and the third convex portion cooperate with each other to lock.
[0176] The second connecting member 1100 is embedded in the inner side wall 210 of the groove-shaped structure of the plug 14. The second connecting member 1100 includes a circular or oriented third concave portion. The first connecting member 1000 is a lock-bridge convex member. The first connecting member 1000 has a resilient arm structure. The first connecting plate 1030 and the second connecting plate 1040 of the first connecting member 1000 are both inserted into the outer peripheral wall 120 of the guiding cylinder of the socket 12. The arc-shaped resilient arm 1020 is suspended. A plurality of third convex portions are provided on the arc-shaped resilient arm 1020. Support sections 1050 that are bent inwards are provided on both circumferential sides of the arc-shaped cantilever.
[0177] When the user needs to charge the electronic device, they can pinch the plug 14 by hand and insert it into the socket 12.
[0178] By rotating the plug 14 to a specific position, the third convex part falls into the third concave part. The arc-shaped elastic arm 1020 of the first connecting piece 1000 will sink due to pressure, generating a positive force on the second connecting piece 1100 of the plug 14, locking the plug 14 and the socket 12. At this time, the supporting section 1050 abuts against the groove wall of the installation groove 122 to support the arc-shaped elastic arm, thereby generating the maximum positive force to tightly fasten the plug 14 and the socket 12. At the same time, when reaching this position, the first signal transmission part 500 and the second signal transmission part 800 are also aligned and in contact. The plug 14 and the socket 12 start to conduct electricity and work, and the first signal transmission part 500 and the second signal transmission part 800 cooperate to provide a holding force to lock the plug 14 and the socket 12 more tightly.
[0179] The connection assembly 10 of the present application can not only be used to connect the power supply, but also to transmit data.
