[0017] The present invention is further described and illustrated below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A connector with an automatic lock 31 includes a male socket 10 and a female socket 20, one end of the male socket 10 is an insertion end 11, and a card slot 12 is provided on the surface of the insertion end 11. The female socket 20 is provided with a socket 21, and a conduction PIN 22 is provided inside the socket 21. The conduction PIN 22 is used to be electrically connected to the male socket 10, and a limit device 30 is provided inside the female socket 20, and the limit device 30 is located on one side of the inner wall of the socket 21. The limit device 30 is set corresponding to the card slot 12, and the limit device 30 is used to limit the male socket 10 from being pulled out.

[0019] When in use, the slot 12 on the insertion end 11 of the male socket 10 is aligned with one side of the limiting device 30 in the female socket 20. After the insertion end 11 of the male socket 10 is inserted into the jack 21, the limiting device 30 can be aligned with the slot 12 on the male socket 10 for positioning and fixing, thereby improving the connection strength between the male socket 10 and the female socket 20 and avoiding interference with the plug-in conduction between the male socket 10 and the female socket 20.

[0020] In the above scheme, the limiting device 30 includes a lock buckle 31 and a first spring 32. A first slide groove 23 is opened inside the mother seat 20. The first slide groove 23 is arranged perpendicular to the side wall of the socket 21. The lock buckle 31 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the first slide groove 23, and one end of the lock buckle 31 extends into the socket 21. A first baffle 311 is provided on the surface of the lock buckle 31. The first baffle 311 limits the lock buckle 31 from sliding out of the first slide groove 23. The first spring 32 is sleeved on the end of the lock buckle 31 away from the socket 21, and the first spring 32 is located on one side of the first baffle 311.

[0021] The first spring 32 ensures that the lock buckle 31 can remain extended to the socket 21. When the insertion end 11 of the male socket 10 is inserted into the socket 21, the insertion end 11 squeezes and pushes the lock buckle 31, causing the lock buckle 31 to slide toward the inside of the female socket 20, thereby squeezing the first spring 32. When the insertion end 11 is completely inserted into the inside of the female socket 20, the slot 12 on the male socket 10 is successfully aligned with the lock buckle 31 to form a space, so that the lock buckle 31 can be smoothly popped out under the action of the first spring 32, thereby achieving the purpose of buckle fixing.

[0022] Both sides of the lock buckle 31 near the plug hole 21 are arcuate structures, so that the contact surface between the lock buckle 31 and the male socket 10 is an arcuate structure, which can better push the lock buckle 31 to slide and also facilitate the male socket 10 to be pulled out under the action of external force.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4In another embodiment of the present scheme, the limiting device 30 also includes a button 33 and a second spring 34. A second slide groove 24 is provided inside the mother seat 20, and the second slide groove 24 vertically penetrates the first slide groove 23. The button 33 is slidably arranged in the second slide groove 24. A through hole 312 is provided in the middle of the lock buckle 31. One end of the button 33 passes through the through hole 312 and extends to the surface of the mother seat 20, and the button 33 is in inclined contact with the side wall of the through hole 312. The button 33 pushes the lock buckle 31 to move away from the socket 21. A second baffle is provided on the surface of the button 33. The second baffle is located to limit the button 33 from sliding out of the second slide groove 24. The second spring 34 is provided on the surface of the button 33, and the second spring 34 is located on the inner side of the second baffle 331. The side of the lock buckle 31 close to the opening of the socket 21 is an arc structure.

[0024] When the male seat 10 is inserted, the contact surface between the lock buckle 31 and the male seat 10 is an arc structure, so that the male seat 10 can be smoothly inserted, and at the same time, the lock buckle 31 is squeezed into the first slide groove 23, and the first spring 32 is in a compressed state. When the slot 12 on the male seat 10 is accurately aligned with the lock buckle 31, the lock buckle 31 pops out under the action of the first spring 32, so that the button 33 and the through hole 312 of the lock buckle 31 maintain inclined contact, thereby achieving the purpose of locking; when people need to pull out the male seat 10, by pressing the button 33 on the surface of the female seat 20, the button 33 slides toward the inside of the second slide groove 24, driving the lock buckle 31 to slide toward the inside of the first slide groove 23, and one end of the lock buckle 31 slides out of the slot 12, so that the male seat 10 can be smoothly pulled out.

[0025] The unlocking method using the button 33 can better provide the connection strength between the male socket 10 and the female socket 20, and also further avoid the accidental falling off.

[0026] There are two card slots 12, which are relatively arranged on both sides of the male socket 10, so that no matter the male socket 10 is inserted forward or backward, the card slots 12 and the limit device 30 can be aligned, which is more convenient for people to use.

[0027] The utility model provides a connector with automatic locking. When in use, the card slot on the male socket insertion end is aligned with one side of the limiting device in the female socket. After the male socket insertion end is inserted into the socket, the limiting device can be aligned with the card slot on the male socket for locking and fixing, thereby improving the connection strength between the male socket and the female socket and avoiding interference with the plug-in conduction between the male socket and the female socket.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
