[0003] Traditional multi-interface electrical connectors usually have fixed interface spacing and angles, and the sizes of some connectors in the prior art are different. The fixed-spacing electrical interfaces often cause some plugs to be unable to be inserted smoothly, or poor contact or even damage to the interfaces due to crowded space after forced insertion. In addition, the electrical interfaces on existing electrical connectors are generally of an open design. During daily use, the electrical interfaces are extremely vulnerable to factors such as dust, water vapor, and external force collision, thus accelerating their aging and damage and reducing the reliability and stability of the connection. Therefore, a multi-interface electrical connector structure with adjustable spacing is designed to overcome the above technical defects. Summary of the Invention

The circular shaft is movably connected to the housing and the side housing respectively. Two first springs are symmetrically sleeved on the circular shaft. The two ends of the first spring are fixedly connected to the side wall of the through groove and the side wall of the protection plate respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the multi-angle positioning component includes a fixed tube. A plurality of fixed tubes are evenly distributed and fixedly connected to the side wall at one end of the inner cavity of the transverse tube. A positioning rod is movably connected in each fixed tube. One end of the positioning rod in the inner cavity of the fixed tube is fixedly connected with a second spring, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube. A plurality of positioning grooves are evenly distributed on the inner side wall of the transverse tube, and one end of the positioning rod away from the second spring is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a side groove is formed on the side wall of the protective plate away from the electrical interface, and the side groove is arranged in an inverted L shape.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the positioning rod away from the second spring is conical, and the positioning groove and the positioning rod are matched with each other.

When the electrical interface is not in use, by the elastic force of the first spring, the protective plate can be rotated into the through groove, and the through groove is blocked by the protective plate, reducing the influence or damage of external dust or impact on the electrical interface, effectively improving the protection of the electrical interface.

[0017] 2. By pulling the housing or the side shell, at this time the transverse tube moves in the circular tube, changing the distance between adjacent housings and side shells, and between adjacent two side shells, and the housing or the side shell can be rotationally adjusted. At this time, the positioning rod is pushed by the second spring, so that the positioning rod is inserted into the positioning groove on the inner wall of the transverse tube, realizing the positioning between the connecting tube and the transverse tube, that is, realizing the positioning of the housing and the side shell, so as to meet the connection needs of different connectors, with good adaptability.

Its structural schematic diagram is as Figures 1 - 8 shown, including an outer shell 1. There are two outer shells 1, and several side shells 2 are arranged between them. Through grooves 3 are opened on the front and rear side walls of the outer shell 1 and the side shells 2. An electrical interface 4 and a protection component 5 are installed at the through grooves 3. The protection component 5 includes a protection plate 10. The protection plate 10 is convexly arranged, and a circular shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the lower side. The circular shaft 11 is movably connected to the outer shell 1 and the side shells 2 respectively. Two first springs 12 are symmetrically sleeved on the circular shaft 11. The two ends of the first spring 12 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the through groove 3 and the side wall of the protection plate 10 respectively;

[0028] In the technical solution of this embodiment, when the electrical interface 4 is not in use, under the elastic force of the first spring 12, the protection plate 10 can be rotated around the circular shaft 11, and the protection plate 10 is rotated into the through groove 3, using the protection plate 10 to block the through groove 3, reducing the influence or damage of external dust or impact on the electrical interface 4, effectively improving the protection of the electrical interface 4, and when the electrical interface 4 is in use, the protection plate 10 can be used to support the bottom of the connector, improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the connector and the electrical interface 4, and the use effect is good;

[0029] As Figure 4As shown, further, a side groove 17 is formed on the side wall of the protective plate 10 away from the electrical interface 4.

Through the side groove 17, the rotation adjustment operation of the protective plate 10 can be conveniently realized, so as to facilitate the insertion and use of the electrical interface 4.

[0030] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, furthermore, the inner diameter of the circular tube 6 is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the horizontal tube 7, and the inner diameter of the horizontal tube 7 is set to be greater than the outer diameter of the connecting tube 8. The circular tube 6, the horizontal tube 7 and the connecting tube 8 are concentrically arranged. Through the concentric arrangement between the circular tube 6, the horizontal tube 7 and the connecting tube 8, the rotation adjustment function can be conveniently realized and it is convenient to use.

[0031] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, even further, the circular tube 6, the horizontal tube 7 and the connecting tube 8 are arranged in a through manner.
