Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical connector technology, specifically to a multifunctional connector. Background Technology

[0002] A multi-functional combination connector is a connector that integrates multiple functions. It can provide data transmission, power supply, video and audio output, and other functions on a single physical interface. It is widely used in applications that require space saving and multiple uses.

[0003] Currently, the structure of multi-function combination connectors mainly includes plugs and sockets. Common multi-function combination connectors generally form a connected circuit only by plugging and socketing. However, existing connectors for data transmission, power supply, video and audio output are directly exposed inside the socket and plug. Due to the lack of effective isolation, the plug and socket are prone to interference when connected. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional connector, comprising a socket and a plug adapted to the socket; the socket includes a fixing plate, the fixing plate having a protrusion, the protrusion having a first slot, a second slot, a third slot, and a fourth slot inside; and the first slot, second slot, third slot, and fourth slot are separated by an isolation groove; the plug includes a support plate, the support plate having a first pin adapted to the first slot, a second pin adapted to the second slot, a third pin adapted to the third slot, and a fourth pin adapted to the fourth slot; the support plate also has an isolation wall, the isolation wall enclosing the first pin, second pin, third pin, and fourth pin from the inside, and a sleeve surrounding the first pin, second pin, third pin, and fourth pin from the outside, with one end of the protrusion inserted into the sleeve, thereby realizing the conduction of the circuit and the transmission of signals between the plug and the socket.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the protrusion is further provided with a conductive rod inside, and the sleeve is further provided with a conductive groove adapted to and connected to the conductive rod.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention: the conductive rod is further provided with a protective cover, and the protective cover is fitted over the conductive groove.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the side of the support plate away from the sleeve is further provided with a first connecting part, a second connecting part and a third connecting part, and the first connecting part, the second connecting part and the third connecting part are separated by a partition.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: a first sealing ring is provided on the side of the support plate away from the sleeve, and a second sealing ring is provided on the outer wall surface of the protrusion.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: a number of reinforcing ribs with the same structure are evenly distributed at the connection between the support plate and the sleeve, and mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the support plate and the fixing plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention by adopting the above technical solution are: 1. Since each pin is separated by an isolation wall and each slot is separated by an isolation groove, when the plug and socket are connected, each pin and socket can form an independent working space, thereby effectively avoiding electromagnetic interference between each pin after the plug and socket are connected. 2. Because it has multiple pins, the plug has multiple connection capabilities. For example, the first, second and fourth pins are used to complete the circuit connection, and the third pin is used to complete the signal connection. Therefore, when the plug is used with the socket, it can realize both circuit conduction and signal output, thereby expanding the application capabilities of the connector.

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "upper surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides an embodiment of a multifunctional connector, comprising a socket 1 and a plug 2 adapted to and connected to the socket 1; the socket 1 includes a fixing plate 10, the fixing plate 10 having a protrusion 11, the protrusion 11 having a first slot 16, a second slot 17, a third slot 18, and a fourth slot 19 inside; and the first slot 16, the second slot 17, the third slot 18, and the fourth slot 19 being separated by an isolation groove 110; the plug 2 includes a support plate 20, the support plate 20 having a first pin 28 adapted to and connected to the first slot 16, a second pin 29 adapted to and connected to the second slot 17, a third pin 210 adapted to and connected to the third slot 18, and a fourth pin 211 adapted to and connected to the fourth slot 19; In summary, because each pin is separated by the isolation wall 212 and each slot is separated by the isolation groove 110, when the plug 2 is connected to the socket 1, each pin and socket can form an independent working space, thus effectively avoiding electromagnetic interference between the pins after the plug and socket are connected. Furthermore, the multiple pins provide the plug with various connection capabilities. For example, the first pin 28, the second pin 29, and the fourth pin 211 can be used to complete the circuit connection, while the third pin 210 can be used to complete the signal connection. Therefore, when the plug and socket are used together, both circuit conduction and signal output can be achieved, thereby expanding the application capabilities of the connector. In particular, by arranging the pins in the above manner, the space of the socket 1 is fully utilized, ensuring normal circuit and signal output while reducing the size of the connector.

[0016] Furthermore, since the support plate 20 is also provided with an isolation wall 212, the first pin 28, the second pin 29, the third pin 210 and the fourth pin 211 are internally enclosed by the isolation wall 212, and the first pin 28, the second pin 29, the third pin 210 and the fourth pin 211 are externally enclosed by the sleeve 21, and one end of the protrusion 11 is inserted into the sleeve 21 to realize the conduction of the circuit and the transmission of the signal between the plug 2 and the socket 1. Therefore, the cooperation between the sleeve 21 and the protrusion 11 can ensure that the plug 2 and the socket 1 are connected smoothly, while also ensuring that the plug 2 and the socket 1 have a larger contact area after connection, so as to ensure the reliability of the connection between the socket 1 and the plug 2. In particular, the cooperation between the sleeve 21 and the protrusion 11 can further enhance the sealing performance inside the connector. In addition, when the protrusion 11 is inserted into the sleeve 21, there is a gap between the fixing plate 10 and the support plate 20, which can avoid the problem of fingers being pinched when the plug 2 and the socket 1 are inserted.

[0017] Furthermore, the protrusion 11 is further provided with a conductive rod 15 inside, and the sleeve 21 is also provided with a conductive groove 27 adapted to and connected to the conductive rod 15. Therefore, the conductive rod 15 and the conductive groove 27 can be used to supply power to the heater installed inside the battery, so as to ensure that the battery temperature is moderate in cold weather and to accelerate the battery charging process; wherein, there are two conductive rods 15 and two conductive grooves 27.

[0018] In addition, since the conductive rod 15 is also provided with a protective cover 14, and the protective cover 14 is fitted over the conductive groove 27, the conductive rod 15 has an independent space, so as to reduce the phenomenon of interference between the conductive rod 15 and other pins.

[0019] In summary, the conductive rod 15 enables the connector to supply power to the heater inside the battery while providing power and communication, thus further expanding the application capabilities of the connector.

[0020] Based on the above solution, since the side of the support plate 20 away from the sleeve 21 is also provided with a first connecting part 22, a second connecting part 23 and a third connecting part 25, and the first connecting part 22, the second connecting part 23 and the third connecting part 25 are separated by a partition 24, and specifically, the first connecting part 22, the second connecting part 23 and the third connecting part 25 are all provided with internal threaded holes, thus making the installation and fixing of the power cord simple and convenient.

[0021] Furthermore, to enhance the sealing performance of the socket 1, a first sealing ring 26 is provided on the side of the support plate 20 away from the sleeve 21. Therefore, after the socket 1 is installed, the first sealing ring 26 can be used to fill the gap between the support plate 20 and the installation location. At the same time, a second sealing ring 12 is also provided on the outer wall surface of the protrusion 11. Therefore, the second sealing ring 12 can be used to fill the gap between the protrusion 11 and the sleeve 21, thereby improving the sealing performance after the plug 2 and the socket 1 are connected.

[0022] In addition, since several reinforcing ribs 213 with the same structure are evenly distributed at the connection between the support plate 20 and the sleeve 21, the socket 1 itself has sufficient strength to improve the stability of the socket 1 after it is fixed, so as to reduce the problem of the socket 1 becoming loose or deformed during the plug 2 insertion and removal process; furthermore, the support plate 20 and the fixing plate 10 are provided with mounting holes 13 at the four corners, so the protective cover for protecting the power cord can be connected to the mounting holes 13 by bolts to fix the protective cover to the socket 1 or the plug 2.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
