That is, a device that connects two active devices to transmit current or signals. The male end and the female end can transmit information or current after contact, and are also called connectors. Its function is very simple. It builds a bridge of communication between blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, so that the current can flow and the circuit can achieve the predetermined function.

The plug-in portion 23 is provided with a mounting slot 201 with an outer end opening. The bottom of the mounting slot 201 is provided with a plurality of elastic members 24 that extend forward and backward and move up and down. The plurality of elastic members 24 correspond to the positions of the plurality of extrusion portions 13 and move upward under the action of the extrusion portions 13.

The plurality of second plug-in terminals 22 are arranged in the mounting slot 201 and correspond to the positions of the elastic members 24. Each second plug-in terminal 22 includes a main body 221 and a main body 221. The elastic portion 222 integrally extends from the body portion 221, and the elastic portion 222 is located below the main body portion 221 and corresponds to the position of the elastic member 24, so that when the elastic member 24 moves upward under the action of the extrusion portion 13, it can not only support the elastic portion 222 to prevent the elastic portion 222 from being deformed after repeated use, but also promote the clamping between the elastic portion 222 and the first plug-in terminal 22 to ensure the stability of the plug-in process. The elastic portion 222 and the main body portion 221 are surrounded to form a slot 202 that cooperates with the first plug-in terminal 12. The aforementioned first plug-in terminal 12 is inserted into the slot 202 and contacts and conducts with the elastic portion 222 and the main body portion 221.

[0045] In this embodiment, the plug-in parts 23 are also arranged in multiple lateral intervals, and each plug-in part 23 is provided with a corresponding elastic member 24 and a second plug-in terminal 22.

The cooperation between the stopper 28 and the front end of the elastic part 222 is used to prevent the second plug-in terminal 22 from being pulled out of the second body 21 when the male plug 10 is pulled out. The stopper 223 is provided at the front end of the second plug-in terminal 22, and the rear end surface of the stopper 223 abuts against the front end surface of the fitting part 241. The cooperation between 23 and the fitting portion 241 is used to prevent the second plug-in terminal 22 from being affected by the plug-in force during insertion and sliding toward the inside of the second body 21, thereby limiting the second plug-in terminal 22; a convex rib 224 is integrally formed on the elastic portion 222, and the convex rib 224 is located at the connection between the elastic portion 222 and the main body 221. The convex rib 224 can further strengthen the structural strength of the connection between the elastic portion 222 and the main body 221, and prevent the structural strength of the connection between the two from decreasing after multiple plug-in deformation, resulting in an unstable connection process with the first plug-in terminal 12.

[0046] The working principle of this embodiment is described in detail as follows:

[0047] When the male connector 10 is inserted into the female socket 20, the extrusion portion 13 will first contact the elastic member 24, and the elastic member 24 will slowly move upward with the extrusion of the extrusion portion 13. At the same time, the first plug-in terminal 12 is in contact with the main body 221 and the elastic portion 222 of the second plug-in terminal 22 until the male connector 10 is plugged in place. At this time, the elastic member 24 moves upward to fit with the lower end surface of the elastic portion 222 and exerts an upward supporting force on the elastic portion 222. At the same time, the elastic portion 222 will move upward to cooperate with the main body 221 to clamp the first plug-in terminal 12. Finally, the buckle portion 27 is buckled in the buckle groove 103 to buckle the male connector 10 and the female socket 20 together.

[0048] The design focus of the utility model is that: a plurality of extrusion parts are integrally protruded upward through the bottom of the plug-in slot, and a mounting slot with an outer end opening is provided in the plug-in slot, and a plurality of elastic parts extending front and back and moving up and down are arranged at the bottom of the mounting slot, and the plurality of elastic parts correspond to the positions of the plurality of extrusion parts and move upward under the action of the extrusion parts, and each second plug-in terminal includes a main body and an elastic part integrally extending from the main body, and the elastic part is located below the main body and corresponds to the position of the elastic part, so that when the male head and the female socket are plugged in, the elastic part is squeezed upward by the extrusion part to move upward, thereby prompting the elastic part to slowly contact with the elastic part, which not only increases the contact stability between the elastic part and the first plug-in terminal, but also the elastic part plays a supporting role, and even if it is used for a long time and plugged in and out many times, it can effectively avoid deformation of the elastic part, and will not affect the stability of the connection process between the connectors, thereby ensuring the service life of the connector.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any slight modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
