[0032] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application is described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on another element or there can be one or more centered elements therebetween. When an element is described as "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to another element or there can be one or more centered elements therebetween. The orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "vertical", "horizontal", etc. used in this specification is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items. In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0034] In the prior art, there are no safety protection measures and structures when the connector and the joint are plugged in and out in the state of electrical conduction. The instantaneous contact or instantaneous disconnection of the terminals on the connector and the terminals on the joint can easily cause arc problems, which poses a destructive risk to the safety and performance of electronic products. In a further prior art, detection terminals are added to the joint and the connector respectively, and a loop is formed through the metal parts on the joint and the connector, such as a metal shell. The length of the detection terminal is designed to be shorter than the length of the power terminal, so that when the joint and the connector are plugged in, the power terminals of the two are in contact before the detection terminal; when the joint and the connector are separated, the detection terminals of the two are disconnected before the power terminal, that is, there is a time difference between the separation of the power terminal and the on-off circuit of the detection terminal during the plugging and separation process, thereby avoiding plugging and unplugging the joint and the connector when power is on, and avoiding the generation of arcs. However, due to the small size of the joint, that is, the length that the detection terminal on the joint can be shortened relative to the power terminal is limited, resulting in a very short time difference in the above-mentioned plugging and unplugging process, usually at the millisecond (ms) level, and users still cannot effectively avoid the generation of arc problems when plugging and unplugging the joint and the connector.

[0035] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a connector device 100, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connector device 100 includes a first connector component 10 and a second connector component 20. The first connector component 10 includes a first connector 11, a first detection component 12 and a pressing component 13. The first detection component 12 is connected to the first connector 11, and the pressing component 13 is connected to the first detection component 12. Figure 5The second connector assembly 20 includes a second connector 21 and a second detection component 22, and the second detection component 22 is connected to the second connector 21. As can be seen from the above structure, the connector device 100 of the present application is based on the structure of setting the detection terminal on the connector in the prior art, and additionally adds an external first detection component 12 and a second detection component 22, wherein the first detection component 12 is electrically connected to the original detection terminal on the first connector 11, and the second detection component 22 is electrically connected to the original detection terminal on the second connector 21. In the present application, the first detection component 12 is separated from the first connector 11, and the second detection component 22 is separated from the second connector 21. This can solve the problem that the size of the detection terminal is limited by the size of the connector on the one hand; on the other hand, "pressing" causes the first detection component and the second detection component to separate, triggering a power-off signal, and "pulling out" the first connector component relative to the second connector component, that is, "pressing" and "pulling out" are two actions, and the movement directions of these two actions are roughly perpendicular. Compared with the prior art which only has the action of "pulling out", the time difference between the plugging or separation of the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 and the on-off of the first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22 can be greatly increased, which can reach the level of seconds (s). This can ensure that the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are plugged in or separated when the power is off, thereby avoiding the occurrence of arcing.

[0036] Specifically, see Figure 1 During the plugging process of the first connector component 10 and the second connector component 20, the first connector 11 is first physically contacted and connected with the second connector 21, and no electrical conduction is formed at this time, until the first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22 abut to trigger the power-on signal. At this time, the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are electrically connected, thereby realizing the power transmission and data signal transmission between the first connector 11 and the second connector 21. During the separation process of the first connector component 10 and the second connector component 20, an external force is applied to press on the pressing component 13, pushing the pressing component 13 to move to drive the first detection component 12 to move, so that the first detection component 12 is separated from the second detection component 22 to trigger the power-off signal. At this time, the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are powered off, that is, the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 only maintain physical contact connection but not electrical conduction. Continue to apply external force to pull out and separate the first connector component 10 from the second connector component 20. This can effectively avoid the generation of electric arcs when plugging and unplugging in the case of power failure, reduce damage to the first connector component 10 and the second connector component 20, ensure the safety of the first connector component 10 and the second connector component 20, and extend the service life of the two.

[0037] For the first connector assembly 10 described above, please refer to Figure 2The first connector assembly 10 further includes a first housing 14 and a first circuit board 15. The first circuit board 15 is disposed on the first housing 14, and the first connector 11 and the first detection component 12 are electrically connected to the first circuit board 15, respectively. Part of the first detection component 12 can move relative to the first housing 14, so as to be in contact with or separated from the second detection component 22. After the pressing component 13 is connected to the first detection component 12, it can also move relative to the first housing 14, so as to push the first detection component 12 to move.

[0038] For the first detection component 12 and the first housing 14, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first housing 14 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 141, a portion of the first detection component 12 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 141, and the first connector 11 and the first detection component 12 are connected to an electrical signal through a first circuit board 15. The first detection component 12 includes a first detection terminal 121 and a first buckle arm 122, the first detection terminal 121 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 15, the first buckle arm 122 is disposed in the first housing 14, and at least a portion of the first buckle arm 122 is located in the first accommodating cavity 141, and the pressing component 13 is connected to the first buckle arm 122. Part of the first detection terminal 121 and a portion of the first buckle arm 122 can both move relative to the first housing 14.

[0039] When the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are plugged, the first buckle arm 122 is buckled and connected with the second shell 23, so that the first shell 14 is locked and fixed relative to the second shell 23, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the first detection terminal 121 and the second detection component 22. When the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 need to be separated, the pressing component 13 is driven to move to drive the first buckle arm 122 to move, so that the first buckle arm 122 is separated from the second shell 23. At this time, the locking state between the first shell 14 and the second shell 23 is released, and the first buckle arm 122 continues to move to push the first detection terminal 121 to move, so that the first detection terminal 121 is separated from the second detection component 22 to trigger a power-off signal, thereby disconnecting the power between the first connector 11 and the second connector 21. At this time, the separation of the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 will not generate an arc, greatly reducing the risk of damage.

[0040] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4, the first end of the first detection terminal 121 is fixed to the first housing 14 and electrically connected to the first circuit board 15, and the second end of the first detection terminal 121 can move relative to the first housing 14. The first end and the second end of the first detection terminal 121 are arranged opposite to each other in the direction of plugging of the first connector 11 and the second connector 21. Part of the first detection terminal 121 is located in the first accommodating cavity 141 of the first housing 14, and the second end of the first detection terminal 121 is provided with a first abutting portion 1211, and at least part of the first abutting portion 1211 is located outside the first accommodating cavity 141. The structure of the first abutting portion 1211 protruding from the first accommodating cavity 141 enables the first detection terminal 121 to smoothly abut and connect with the second detection component 22 when the first housing 14 and the second housing 23 are plugged.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The first abutting portion 1211 has an arcuate surface 1212, and the arcuate surface 1212 is used for abutting and connecting with the second detection component 22. By adopting the structure of the arcuate surface 1212, the first detection terminal 121 and the second detection component 22 can be connected more smoothly during the plugging process, and the wear of the first abutting portion 1211 on the second detection component 22 can also be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the first detection terminal 121 and the second detection component 22.

[0042] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first end of the first buckling arm 122 is fixed to the first shell 14, and the second end of the first buckling arm 122 can move relative to the first shell 14, wherein the first end and the second end of the first buckling arm 122 are arranged relative to each other in the direction of the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 being plugged in. The pressing component 13 is arranged between the first end and the second end of the first buckling arm 122. Since the first end of the first buckling arm 122 is fixed to the first shell 14, when the pressing component 13 is driven, the second end of the first buckling arm 122 can move relative to the first shell 14. A first locking portion 1221 is arranged at the second end of the first buckling arm 122, and part of the first buckling arm 122 is located in the first accommodating cavity 141. The first locking portion 1221 can be located in the first accommodating cavity 141 or outside the first accommodating cavity 141. When the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are plugged in, the first locking portion 1221 is buckled and locked with the second shell 23, so that the first shell 14 is fixed relative to the second shell 23.

[0043] Please continue reading Figure 3The second end of the first buckling arm 122 is further provided with a second abutting portion 1222. The first locking portion 1221 and the second abutting portion 1222 are respectively provided on both sides of the first buckling arm 122, and the second abutting portion 1222 is provided close to the first detection terminal 121. Please continue to refer to Figure 7 When a force is applied to the pressing component 13, the pressing component 13 drives the second end of the first buckling arm 122 to move to the left, and the first locking portion 1221 is separated from the second housing 23 until the second abutting portion 1222 abuts against the first detection terminal 121 and continues to push the first detection terminal 121 to move, thereby separating the first detection terminal 121 from the second detection component 22. By providing the second abutting portion 1222 on the side of the second end of the first buckling arm 122 facing the first detection terminal 121, the distance required for the second end of the first buckling arm 122 to push the first detection terminal 121 to move can be reduced, thereby reducing the movement stroke of the pressing component 13 and reducing the difficulty of pressing by the user.

[0044] See also Figure 3 , the first end of the first detection terminal 121 is connected to the first end of the first snap arm 122, and the first detection terminal 121 and the first snap arm 122 are integrally formed. As an example, the first detection terminal 121 and the first snap arm 122 are made of a conductive material, such as a copper alloy. By integrally forming the first detection terminal 121 and the first snap arm 122, on the one hand, it is convenient to manufacture, reduce the manufacturing process and improve the production efficiency, and on the other hand, it can enhance the structural strength of the first detection component 12, extend the service life of the first detection component 12, and also enable the first detection component 12 to be quickly installed with the first housing 14, reduce the number of parts, and reduce the difficulty of assembly.

[0045] See also Figure 7 In the embodiment where the first detection terminal 121 and the first buckling arm 122 are integrally formed, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first circuit board 15, that is, Figure 7 From the perspective shown, the first end of the first buckling arm 122 is provided with a thinned portion 1223, and the portion of the first buckling arm other than the thinned portion 1223 is a non-thinned portion, and along the direction perpendicular to the extension of the first buckling arm 122, the width of the thinned portion 1223 is smaller than the width of the non-thinned portion of the first buckling arm 122. By providing the structure of the thinned portion 1223, the elastic deformation capacity of the first buckling arm 122 can be increased, making it easier for the user to press to complete unlocking.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 7, the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 is located on the side of the first detection terminal 121 away from the first connector 11, that is, the first connector 11 and the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first detection terminal 121. By arranging the first detection terminal 121 on the inner side, arranging the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 on the outer side and connecting with the pressing component 13, such a structure is defined as a first structure, and the first structure can make it possible that when the pressing component 13 is subjected to force, the pressing component 13 first drives the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 to complete the unlocking action, and then the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 pushes the first detection terminal 121 to separate from the second detection component 22 to trigger a power-off signal. If the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 is arranged on the inner side, and the first detection terminal 121 is arranged on the outer side and connected with the pressing component 13, such a structure is defined as a second structure, and the second structure will cause when the pressing component 13 is subjected to force, the first detection terminal 121 will first separate from the second detection component 22 to trigger a power-off signal, and then push the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 to move to achieve unlocking. In other words, the second structure mentioned above is prone to cause the pressing component 13 to be accidentally touched by external force, and the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 will be powered off, affecting the transmission of power and data; while the first structure mentioned above effectively avoids the above problem, that is, when the pressing component 13 is accidentally touched by external force, only the first buckle arm 122 moves while the first detection terminal 121 does not move, ensuring that the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 remain electrically connected. When it is determined that the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 need to be unplugged and separated, the driving pressing component 13 pushes the first buckle arm 122 to move and unlock, and then pushes the first detection terminal 121 to move to trigger a power-off signal, and then the first connector 11 is safely unplugged and separated from the second connector 21.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 , along the plugging direction of the first connector 11 and the second connector 21, the length of the first detection terminal 121 is longer than the length of the first buckling arm 122, that is, when the first end of the first detection terminal 121 is flush with the first end of the first buckling arm 122, the second end of the first detection terminal 121 exceeds the second end of the first buckling arm 122. With such a structure, the second end of the first detection terminal 121 can have enough space to abut against the second detection component 22 to avoid conflict with the second end of the first buckling arm 122. At the same time, the structure in which the second end of the first detection terminal 121 exceeds the second end of the first buckling arm 122 is also conducive to setting the first abutting portion at the second end of the first detection terminal 121.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7, along the direction perpendicular to the extension of the first buckling arm 122, the second abutting portion 1222 of the first buckling arm 122 and the first detection terminal 121 are spaced apart to form a first gap 1224. The first gap 1224 is used to buffer the movement of the second end of the first buckling arm 122 to prevent the first buckling arm 122 from moving synchronously with the first detection terminal 121. Only when the pressing component 13 drives the first buckling arm 122 to complete the unlocking, and the first buckling arm 122 continues to move, the second abutting portion 1222 abuts against the first detection terminal 121 to push the first detection terminal 121 to move. In this way, the power failure between the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 caused by the misoperation of the pressing component 13 can be further avoided.

[0049] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first detection component 12 further includes a first fixing portion 123, the first fixing portion 123 is connected to the first end of the first buckling arm 122, and a corresponding second fixing portion 142 is provided on the first shell 14, and the first fixing portion 123 is connected to the second fixing portion 142 to fix the first detection component 12 on the first shell 14. As some examples, the first fixing portion 123 is a convex portion with a through groove, and the second fixing portion 142 is a boss, and the boss is snapped into the through groove to form a fixation. Of course, in other examples, the first fixing portion 123 is a convex portion with a boss, and the second fixing portion 142 is a groove, and the boss is snapped into the groove to form a fixation. Compared with other connection methods such as screw connection, the first detection component 12 is connected to the first shell 14 by snap connection, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency.

[0050] For the second connector assembly 20, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The second connector assembly 20 further includes a second housing 23 and a second circuit board 24 . The second circuit board 24 is disposed in the second housing 23 . The second connector 21 and the second detection component 22 are electrically connected to the second circuit board 24 , respectively.

[0051] For the second detection component 22, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second detection component 22 includes a second detection terminal 221 and a third housing 222. The second detection terminal 221 is disposed in the third housing 222. The third housing 222 protects and enhances the strength of the second detection component 22, thereby facilitating the assembly of the second detection terminal 221 with the second housing 23. In some examples, a portion of the second detection terminal 221 extends beyond the third housing 222, thereby exposing the second detection terminal 221 directly to facilitate abutment and connection with the first abutment portion 1211 of the first detection terminal 121. In other examples, such as Figure 5 or Figure 8As shown, the third housing 222 is provided with a notch 2221 , and the notch 2221 is used to expose a portion of the second detection terminal 221 , and the portion is used to abut and connect with the first abutting portion 1211 of the first detection terminal 121 .

[0052] For the second housing 23, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second housing 23 is provided with a second accommodating cavity 231, and at least a part of the second detecting component 22 is accommodated in the second accommodating cavity 231. The second housing 23 is provided with a second locking portion 232. When the first connector 11 is plugged into the second connector 21, the second locking portion 232 is engaged with the first locking portion 1221 on the first locking arm 122, thereby locking the first housing 14 on the second housing 23. As an example, please refer to Figure 4 The first locking portion 1221 on the first buckling arm 122 is a hook, and the hook protrudes from the first accommodating cavity 141 on the first shell 14. Figure 6 The second locking portion 232 is a card slot, and the card slot is connected to the second accommodating cavity 231.

[0053] See also Figure 7 When the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are plugged in, the first detection component 12 enters the second accommodating cavity 231, wherein the first detection terminal 121 abuts against the second detection terminal 221 to trigger the power-on signal, thereby energizing the first connector 11 and the second connector 21, and the hook 1221 on the first buckling arm 122 is buckled and connected with the slot 232 on the second shell 23, thereby achieving the connection and fixation of the first connector 11 and the second connector 21. When the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 need to be separated, a force is applied to the pressing component 13 to push the first buckling arm 122 to move, and the hook 1221 withdraws from the slot 232, thereby unlocking the first shell 14 and the second shell 23. The first locking arm 122 is continuously pushed to move, and the second abutting portion 1222 on the first locking arm 122 abuts against the first detection terminal 121 and pushes the first detection terminal 121 to move, so that the first abutting portion 1211 of the first detection terminal 121 and the second detection terminal 221 are separated to trigger a power-off signal, and the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are powered off. At this time, the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are pulled out and separated. The first detection component 12 provided in the connector device 100 of the present application has the function of realizing the passage or disconnection of the detection terminal, and also has the function of locking or unlocking the first connector component 10 on the second connector component 20.

[0054] Of course, in other examples, the first locking portion 1221 on the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 can be a card slot, and the second locking portion 232 on the second shell 23 can be a hook. When force is applied to the pressing component 13, the card slot withdraws from the hook to unlock the first shell 14 and the second shell 23.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The second shell 23 is provided with a third fixing portion 233, and the third shell 222 is provided with a fourth fixing portion 2222. When the third shell 222 is inserted into the second accommodating cavity 231, the third fixing portion 233 is connected with the fourth fixing portion 2222 to fix the third shell 222 on the second shell 23. As an example, the third fixing portion 233 is a groove, and the fourth fixing portion 2222 is a convex portion, and the convex portion is inserted into the groove. In a further embodiment, the groove 233 on the second shell 23 can be a through groove, so that an external tool passes through the groove 233 to push out the convex portion 222, thereby realizing the removal of the third shell 222 from the second shell 23. By providing a third fixing portion 233 on the second shell 23 and a fourth fixing portion 2222 on the third shell 222, the two can be snap-fitted and fixed when the third shell 222 is pushed into the second shell 23, thereby fixing the second detection terminal 221 on the second shell 23. This can greatly improve the assembly efficiency and the connection stability between the third shell 222 and the second shell 23, effectively preventing the third shell 222 equipped with the second detection terminal 221 from shaking relative to the second shell 23, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the first detection terminal 121 and the second detection terminal 221.

[0056] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 The figure is a schematic diagram of the connection circuit of the detection terminal in the prior art. The detection terminal on the connector and the detection terminal on the connector constitute a switch K1 in the circuit, and the circuit board on the connector is integrated with an IC detection circuit (ICdetect circuit) and is connected to the detection terminal on the connector. When the connector and the connector are plugged in, their respective detection terminals are connected, then K1 is closed, and the metal parts on the connector and the connector, such as the metal shell, form a loop. At this time, the IC detection circuit triggers a power-on signal to enable power to be supplied between the connector and the connector. When the connector is unplugged from the connector, their respective detection terminals are not connected, then K1 is opened, and the IC detection circuit triggers a power-off signal to disconnect the power between the connector and the connector.

[0057] See also Fig.10 , Fig.10This is a schematic diagram of the connection circuit after adding the first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22 in the present application. The original detection terminal on the first connector 11 and the original detection terminal on the second connector 21 constitute a switch K2, and the external first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22 constitute a switch K3. An IC detection circuit (IC detect ci rcu it) is integrated on the first circuit board 15 and connected to the first detection terminal 121, or an IC detection circuit (IC detect ci rcu it) is integrated on the second circuit board 24 and connected to the second detection terminal 221. When the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 are plugged in, their respective detection terminals are connected, then K2 is closed, and the circuit is still in an open circuit state. Only when the first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22 are connected, the switch K3 is closed to form a loop, and the IC detection circuit triggers a power-on signal to enable power to be supplied between the first connector 11 and the second connector 21. When the first connector 11 needs to be unplugged relative to the second connector 21, the first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22 are separated by driving the pressing component 13, and the switch K3 is opened. At this time, the IC detection circuit triggers a power-off signal to cut off the power between the first connector 11 and the second connector 21, and the user continues to apply force to unplug the first connector 11 relative to the second connector 21.

[0058] Fig. 9 The circuit shown is Fig.10 The differences between the circuits shown are: Fig. 9 That is, in the prior art, the switch K1 is opened or closed by plugging and unplugging the connector, which causes the "on and off" of the detection terminal circuit to be almost synchronized with the "plugging and unplugging" of the connector, which is likely to cause an arc. Fig.10 That is, in the connector device 100 of the present application, the first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22 are connected or disconnected by pressing the component 13, that is, the switch K3 is controlled to be opened or closed. When the IC detection circuit triggers a power-off signal, the switch K2 remains closed, that is, the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 remain connected, so that the plugging and unplugging of the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 can be performed under power-off conditions, which can effectively avoid the generation of arcs.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 7, the number of the first detection components 12 and the number of the pressing components 13 are both two, one pressing component 13 is correspondingly connected to one first detection component 12, and the two first detection components 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first connector 11. In a further embodiment, the two first detection components 12 are symmetrically arranged about the first connector 11. Correspondingly, the number of the second detection components 22 is also two, and the two second detection components 22 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second shell 23. When the user unplugs the first connector 11 relative to the second connector 21, the first connector assembly 10 is usually held by pinching two fingers. Therefore, by respectively arranging the first detection component 12 and the pressing component 13 on both sides of the first connector 11, the user can press the two pressing components 13 at the same time, thereby facilitating the unlocking of the first snap-fit ​​arm 122 and the second shell 23 and the separation of the first detection terminal 121 and the second detection component 22.

[0060] The present application also provides an electronic device embodiment, the electronic device includes the above-mentioned connector device 100, and the connector device 100 is used to connect with an external device to realize the transmission of power and data signals between the electronic device and the external device.

The first connector component 10 includes a first connector 11, a first detection component 12 and a pressing component 13. The first detection component 12 is connected to the first connector 11, and the pressing component 13 is connected to the first detection component 12; the second connector component 20 includes a second connector 21 and a second detection component 22, and the second detection component 22 is connected to the second connector 21; when the first connector 11 is plugged into the second connector 21, the first detection component 12 is in contact with the second detection component 22; when the pressing component 13 is pushed, the first detection component 12 is separated from the second detection component 22. In the present application, by adding the structure of the external first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22, the time from triggering the power-off signal to the user unplugging the first connector 11 can be fully extended, so that the plugging or unplugging process of the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 is carried out under the condition of power off, so that no arc phenomenon will be generated, the damage of the arc to the first connector 11 and the second connector 21 is reduced, and the service life of the first connector component 10 and the second connector component 20 is extended; the first detection component 12 provided in the connector device 100 in the present application has the function of realizing the detection of terminal access or circuit breakage, and has the function of locking or unlocking the first connector component 10 on the second connector component 20. In addition, by providing a structure in which the pressing component 13 is connected to the first detection component 12, the first detection component 12 and the second detection component 22 can be quickly unlocked and separated, and the power-off signal can be triggered, thereby facilitating the separation of the first connector component 10 and the second connector component 20.
