[0019] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As stated, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the floating connection terminal; Figure 2 This is a diagram of the disassembled state of the floating connection terminal; Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional diagram of a floating connector. The floating connector includes a carrier 1, a first conductive member 2, a floating member 3, and a second conductive member 4. The first conductive member 2 is mounted on the carrier 1, while the floating member 3 is also mounted on the carrier 1 and is movable relative to the carrier 1. The first conductive member 2 abuts both the carrier 1 and the floating member 3, allowing current to flow between the carrier 1 and the floating member 3 via the first conductive member 2. The second conductive member 4 is mounted on the floating member 3, and the floating member 3 drives the second conductive member 4 relative to the carrier 1. During use, when an extension cord is inserted into the second conductive member 4, current flow is established between the carrier 1, the first conductive member 2, the floating member 3, the second conductive member 4, and the extension cord.

[0020] The carrier 1 has a carrier groove 11, and the first conductive member 2, the floating member 3 and the second conductive member 4 are all located in the carrier groove 11. The first conductive member 2 abuts against the inner wall surface of the carrier groove 11, and the floating member 3 abuts against the first conductive member 2. The floating member 3 can move in the Y-axis direction of the carrier groove 11 to achieve position adjustment.

[0021] Refer to it again Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the first conductive member 2. The first conductive member 2 includes a first conductive piece 21, a second conductive piece 22 and a third conductive piece 23. The first conductive piece 21, the second conductive piece 22 and the third conductive piece 23 are connected in sequence. At the same time, one side of the first conductive piece 21, the second conductive piece 22 and the third conductive piece 23 are respectively in contact with the three connected wall surfaces in the bearing groove 11. In addition, the other sides of the first conductive piece 21, the second conductive piece 22 and the third conductive piece 23 constitute a bonding surface 20. The bonding surface 20 is in contact with the outer surface of the floating member 3. In this embodiment, in the Y-axis direction, the bonding surface 20 is in contact with the outer surface of the floating member 3. 0 is L, and the height of the floating member 3 is S, where S>L; it can be understood that the floating member 3 can move up and down along the Y-axis direction in the bearing slot 11, and no matter whether the floating member 3 moves upward to the extreme position or downward to the extreme position, the entire fitting surface 20 is completely fitted with the outer surface of the floating member 3; in this way, it can be ensured that during the movement of the floating member 3, the contact area between the fitting surface 20 and the floating member 3 remains unchanged, thereby ensuring that the current conduction performance of the floating connection terminal is not affected, thereby improving its performance stability during use.

[0022] Furthermore, the first conductive piece 21 has a plurality of first curved surfaces 211, which are spaced apart along the X-axis, giving the first conductive piece 21 an overall wavy shape. The first curved surfaces 211 protrude toward the floating member 3 and abut against the outer surface of the floating member 3. The second conductive piece 22 has a plurality of second curved surfaces 231, which are spaced apart along the X-axis, giving the second conductive piece 22 an overall wavy shape. The second curved surfaces 231 protrude toward the floating member 3 and abut against the outer surface of the floating member 3.

[0023] In a specific application, the floating member 3 has a receiving space 31 extending along the X-axis of the floating member 3. The second conductive member 4 is located within the receiving space 31. Specifically, the receiving space 31 can be a slot, meaning that the two ends of the floating member 3 cannot communicate through the receiving space 31. Alternatively, the receiving space 31 can be a through-hole, meaning that the two ends of the floating member 3 can communicate through the receiving space 31. In this embodiment, the receiving space 31 is a through-hole.

[0024] Refer to it again Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the second conductive member 4. The second conductive member 4 includes a conductive plate 41 and a plurality of springs 42. The conductive plate 41 is located in the accommodating space 31. The plurality of springs 42 are spaced apart on the conductive plate 41, and the plurality of springs 42 are all in contact with the inner wall surface of the accommodating space 31. Specifically, along the X-axis direction, the conductive plate 41 is provided with a slot 410. The opening of the slot 410 is connected to the opening of the bearing slot 11. The strip is inserted into the slot 410 through the opening of the bearing slot 11. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the conductive plate 41 is quasi-U-shaped, and the plurality of springs 42 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conductive plate 41, thereby increasing the contact points between the conductive plate 41 and the floating member 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the conductive plate 41 is also provided with a plurality of accommodating holes 411, which are communicated with the slots 410, and a plurality of spring clips 42 respectively correspond to the plurality of accommodating holes 411. That is, each accommodating hole 411 contains a spring clip 42. When the extension strip is inserted, the conductive plate 41 is subjected to force and expands outward. During this process, the distance between the spring clip 42 and the accommodating hole 411 gradually decreases, and finally the spring clip 42 will move into the accommodating hole 411, further increasing the contact points between the extension strip, the second conductive member 4 and the floating member 3, thereby improving the current-carrying capacity of the floating connection terminal.

[0026] The conductive plate 41 also has a third curved surface 412 that protrudes toward the slot 410. When the power strip is inserted, the third curved surface 412 abuts against the plug. Furthermore, the conductive plate 41 also has a fourth curved surface 413 that protrudes toward the slot 410. The third curved surface 412 and the fourth curved surface 413 are opposite each other. During use, when the power strip is inserted, the third curved surface 412 and the fourth curved surface 413 respectively abut against the sides of the power strip.

[0027] Please review Figure 2 The second conductive member 4 also includes a plurality of limit blocks 43, which are spaced apart on the outer surface of the conductive plate 41. The floating member 3 has a plurality of limit holes 32. The plurality of limit blocks 43 correspond to the positions of the plurality of limit holes 32, and the limit blocks 43 are inserted into the limit holes 32. The cooperation between the limit blocks 43 and the limit holes 32 can prevent the second conductive member 4 from being pulled out when the plug strip is pulled out.

[0028] In another embodiment, the second conductive member 4 further includes a bump (not marked in the figure), which is disposed on the conductive plate 41 , and current can be conducted between the conductive plate 41 and the second conductive sheet 22 via the bump.

[0029] It should also be noted that if the accommodating space 31 of the floating member 3 is a groove structure, the protrusion is provided on the outer surface of the floating member 3 , and current can be conducted between the floating member 3 and the second conductive piece 22 through the protrusion.

[0030] Preferably, the floating connection terminal further includes a fixing member 5 , which is arranged at the opening of the bearing groove 11 , and the floating member 3 abuts against the fixing member 5 , and the fixing member 5 blocks the floating member 3 to prevent the floating member 3 from sliding out of the bearing groove 11 .

[0031] To sum up, during the movement of the floating member 3, the entire fitting surface 20 always remains in contact with the outer surface of the floating member 3, so that the contact surface between the first conductive member 2 and the floating member 3 does not change, thereby ensuring the current conduction performance, so as to improve the performance stability of the floating connection terminal during use.

[0032] The foregoing is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
