Electrical connectors typically consist of a plug and a socket, with the plug connecting to the socket.

[0003] However, there are already some problems with the existing technology: the isolation structure in the electrical connector is extremely important, mainly isolating and separating multiple contacts in the connector to play the role of electrical isolation, electromagnetic isolation or mechanical isolation. However, the isolation structure currently on the market has a single function, which only achieves a single electrical isolation, electromagnetic isolation or mechanical isolation function, and cannot effectively isolate and protect the contacts, and has certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.

[0037] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0038] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, an electrical connector with an isolation assembly includes a connector housing 1 and an insulating isolation plate 6, wherein the insulating isolation plate 6 is disposed inside the connector housing 1 and has multiple groups of contacts 5 disposed on the insulating isolation plate 6, and further includes:

[0040] The isolation protection mechanism 3 includes multiple sets of protection structures and an insulating partition 2. The multiple sets of protection structures are movably arranged on one side of the insulating partition 2, and the contact 5 is located between the multiple sets of protection structures. Thus, a protection zone is formed around the outer side of the contact 5 by the multiple sets of protection structures.

[0041] The design of the protection zone formed by multiple groups of protection structures can protect the exposed contact members 5, thereby preventing the contact members 5 from being damaged when the plug position of the connector housing 1 is subjected to external collision and compression.

[0042] Auxiliary stabilization mechanism 4, multiple groups of auxiliary stabilization mechanisms 4 are provided, and the multiple groups of auxiliary stabilization mechanisms 4 are all provided outside the connector housing 1, and the auxiliary stabilization mechanisms 4 are transmission-connected to the protective structure.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, through the design of the transmission connection between the auxiliary stabilizing mechanism 4 and the protective structure, the protective structure can wrap the outside of the contact piece 5 to form a protection zone under the driving action of the auxiliary stabilizing mechanism 4. When the contact piece 5 is inserted into the interface, the protection zone is cancelled, and multiple groups of protective structures move away from each other and are hidden. Subsequently, the ends of multiple groups of auxiliary stabilizing mechanisms 4 will rotate close to each other to squeeze the interface position, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connector when connected.

[0044] Furthermore, the protective structure includes a first protective structure 302 and a second protective structure 303. The first protective structure 302 and the second protective structure 303 are arranged to rotate with each other, and the first protective structure 302 is movably connected to one side of the insulating partition 2, and the second protective structure 303 is arranged to fit the outer side of the contact member 5.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, it should be noted that the above protection structure requires three groups to be arranged in a circular shape and equidistantly around the outside of the contact member 5, so as to better protect the contact member 5.

[0046] Furthermore, the first protective structure 302 is composed of a protective plate 3021, and a first arcuate edge 3022 is formed on the side of the protective plate 3021 close to the contact member 5. A rubber layer 9 is formed on the surface of the first arcuate edge 3022. The protective plate 3021 is movably connected to the insulating partition 2.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the protective plate 3021 is designed to form a first arc-shaped edge 3022 on one side close to the contact member 5. The protective plate 3021 can better fit the surface of the contact member 5 through the specific arc-shaped design of the first arc-shaped edge 3022, thereby increasing the contact area, reducing the pressure of the protective plate 3021 on the surface of the contact member 5, and avoiding squeezing and damaging the surface of the contact member 5 when the protective plate 3021 is hit.

[0048] Furthermore, the second protective structure 303 is composed of a protective block 3031, a second arcuate edge 3033 is formed on one side of the protective block 3031, and another set of rubber layers 9 are formed on the surface of the second arcuate edge 3033. The protective block 3031 is rotatably connected to the protective plate 3021;

[0049] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the protective plate 3021 and the protective block 3031 are arranged to rotate with each other, and a first torsion spring 306 is arranged between the protective plate 3021 and the protective block 3031, so that the protective block 3031 can automatically fit to the end of the contact piece 5 under the action of the first torsion spring 306, thereby improving the isolation protection performance.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, an insulating coating 8 is formed on the outer surface of the first torsion spring 306 , thereby preventing conduction and affecting the conductive performance of the contact member 5 .

[0051] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a bevel 3032 is further formed on the outer side of the protective block 3031, and the bevel 3032 is connected to the second arc-shaped edge 3033. Therefore, through the design of the bevel 3032, when the contact 5 is connected to the circuit or interface, the edge of the hole at the circuit or interface position can squeeze the bevel 3032, causing the protective block 3031 to open and squeeze the protective plate 3021, causing the protective plate 3021 to slide and fit onto the insulating partition 2, thereby automatically canceling the protection zone.

[0052] This enables the protection zone to have the ability to be automatically formed and automatically cancelled, thereby further improving the protection effect on the contact 5.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a limit plate 305 is provided on the outer side of the protective plate 3021 near one end of the first torsion spring 306 , thereby preventing the protective plate 3021 from rotating at an excessive angle and being unable to squeeze and drive the protective plate 3021 to slide on the insulating partition 2 .

[0054] Through the design of the rubber layer 9, when the protective plate 3021 and the protective block 3031 are both attached to the surface of the contact piece 5, the characteristics of the rubber layer 9 can be utilized to reduce the pressure on the contact piece 5. At the same time, the rubber layer 9 also has insulating properties. The protective plate 3021 and the protective block 3031 can both be made of ceramic materials for use. While ensuring a strong protective effect, it can also avoid conductive performance loss that affects multiple contacts 5.

[0055] It should be noted that the design of forming the second arc-shaped edge 3033 on one side of the protection block 3031 can better fit the protection plate 3021 on the surface of the contact member 5, thereby reducing the pressure on the contact member 5 caused by the protection block 3031 being hit.

[0056] Furthermore, one end of the protective plate 3021 is rotatably connected to a linkage slider 301, and one side of the insulating partition 2 is provided with multiple sets of receiving grooves 7, and the linkage slider 301 is slidably installed inside the receiving grooves 7, and the linkage slider 301 is transmission-connected to the auxiliary stabilization mechanism 4;

[0057] It should be noted that the width and length of the above-mentioned storage groove 7 are sufficient to accommodate the protective plate 3021 and the protective block 3031, so that the protective plate 3021 and the protective block 3031 can be rotated and stored inside the storage groove 7 to avoid affecting the complete insertion of the contact piece 5 into the interface.

[0058] Furthermore, a linkage arc bar 304 is provided between two adjacent groups of protection blocks 3031, and a mutually communicating hidden groove 10 is provided between two adjacent groups of receiving grooves 7, and the linkage arc bar 304 is engaged with the inside of the hidden groove 10;

[0059] For example, the linkage arc strip 304 can be made of silicone rubber. The use of silicone rubber allows the linkage arc strip 304 to have good elasticity and high temperature resistance.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a linkage arc bar 304 is provided between two adjacent groups of protection blocks 3031. When one group of protection blocks 3031 is pulled down and stored into the storage groove 7 through the linkage slider 301, one group of protection blocks 3031 can drive the adjacent protection blocks 3031 to move synchronously through the linkage arc bar 304.

[0061] It should be noted that, since the contact piece 5 of the electrical connector is relatively small in size, the linkage arc bar 304 made of silicone rubber is relatively small in size and has a higher density and quality, so that the reset strength of the linkage arc bar 304 after stretching is greater, thereby ensuring that when one group of protective blocks 3031 slides, it can drive the adjacent protective blocks 3031 to slide.

[0062] At the same time, the design of the linked arc strips 304 can also improve the stability between two adjacent groups of protection blocks 3031.

[0063] Furthermore, the auxiliary stabilization mechanism 4 includes a linkage seat 402, which is movably connected to the linkage slider 301, and the linkage seat 402 is rotatably connected to the connector housing 1, and a fixed block 403 is fixedly installed at one end of the linkage seat 402; a pull rod 401 is movably installed on the side of the linkage seat 402 close to the outer side of the connector, and the connector housing 1 and the outer side of the insulating partition 2 are provided with interconnected through holes around the inside, and the pull rod 401 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the linkage slider 301; an avoidance groove 12 is provided on the upper surface of the connection between the linkage seat 402 and the fixed block 403, and the avoidance groove 12 is arranged corresponding to the edge of the connector housing 1, and the avoidance groove 12 is arranged in an inclined arc shape;

[0064] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, by the design that the pull rod 401 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the linkage slider 301, when multiple groups of linkage sliders 301 slide away from each other, the pull rod 401 is driven to slide and squeeze the linkage seat 402. At the same time, the linkage seat 402 rotates to control the fixed block 403 to squeeze the interface or circuit outer surface of the electrical connector, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connector after connection.

[0065] The design of the avoidance groove 12 can facilitate the rotation of the fixing block 403 .

[0066] It should be noted that if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple groups of storage grooves 7 located in the middle of one side of the insulating partition 2 are provided with interconnected through holes 11 between the storage grooves 7 on the same horizontal line as the outer side of the insulating partition 2, and the linkage sliders 301 sliding inside the multiple groups of storage grooves 7 located in the middle are connected to the pull rod 401, thereby ensuring that multiple groups of protective blocks 3031 and protective plates 3021 can be stored or reset at the same time.

[0067] Furthermore, the outer side of the linkage seat 402 is rotatably connected to the connector housing 1 via the second torsion spring 404, and the outer side of the linkage seat 402 is threadedly connected to the fastening bolt 13, so that the linkage seat 402 is fixed to the connector housing 1 via the fastening bolt 13;

[0068] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, through the design of the second torsion spring 404, when the contact piece 5 is pulled out of the interface, the second torsion spring 404 releases the rotational force, driving the linkage seat 402 to rotate, so that the fixed block 403 moves away from the interface. At the same time, the pull rod 401 drives the linkage slider 301 to slide, so that the linkage slider 301 drives the protective plate 3021 and the protective block 3031 to fit and wrap around the outer surface of the contact piece 5, thereby automatically forming a protection area.

[0069] Therefore, the auxiliary stabilization mechanism 4 cooperates with the isolation protection mechanism 3 to not only automatically protect the surface of the contact 5, but also automatically improve the stability of the electrical connector after the electrical connector is connected to the interface, thereby further improving the practicality of the isolation component in the electrical connector.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
