DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0027] This embodiment proposes a VGA interface automatic plug-in mechanism, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, it includes a VGA connector component 1 and a guide component 2; the VGA connector component 1 includes a positionable VGA docking port 101, a docking column 105 and a probe component 102 that cooperates with the VGA female head; the guide component 2 can control the extension and retraction of the fixed plate 202 through two cylinders; the probe component 102 that cooperates with the guide body 203 is driven to be plugged in and out through the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208; wherein the first connecting plate 201, the second connecting plate 208 and the external sliding groove of the shell 104 form a cooperation that can move forward and backward a certain distance, so that the guide body 203 can move forward and backward an appropriate distance, and finally realize the accurate plugging and unplugging of the probe component 102.

[0028] Furthermore, the VGA connector assembly 1 can be configured to include a VGA docking port 101, a probe assembly 102, a guide plate 103 and a housing 104; wherein the probe needle 109 on the probe assembly 102 can be accurately inserted into the guide plate pinhole 108 on the guide plate 103, and the diameter of the guide plate pinhole 108 should be slightly larger than the diameter of the probe needle 109, leaving room for error compensation of the probe needle 109 in the horizontal and vertical directions; the VGA docking port 101 is tightly connected to the housing 104, the guide plate 103 is embedded in the card slot of the housing 104, the thickness of the guide plate 103 is consistent with the depth of the card slot of the housing 104, and the guide plate 103 is ensured to be in a stable state. The other side of the plate 103 is tightly attached to the VGA docking port 101, thereby fixing the guide plate 103; a docking column 105 is installed on both sides of the VGA docking port 101, and the docking column 105 is connected through the holes on both sides of the VGA docking port 101. The docking column 105 is used to align with the jacks on both sides of the VGA interface to ensure that the VGA docking port positioning hole 107 can be accurately inserted into the female head of the VGA interface, and the top of the docking column 105 is designed to be semicircular, which can compensate for the slight manufacturing errors of the jacks on both sides of the VGA interface female head, realize the error compensation of the entire mechanism in the horizontal direction, and still allow the docking column 105 to be successfully inserted.

[0029] Further, the guide assembly 2 may include a first connecting plate 201, a second connecting plate 208, a fixed plate 202, a guide body 203 and a spring 205; wherein the fixed plate 202 is connected to the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 via positioning holes, two holes are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the fixed plate 202, and can be connected and driven by a cylinder or the like, and the force-bearing end surface of the fixed plate 202 is designed to be arc-shaped, so that the fixed plate 202 can be offset in the vertical direction;

[0030] The cross-sectional structure of the first connecting plate in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4As shown, one end of the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 are respectively extended into the slide groove outside the housing 104, and the length of the slide groove outside the housing 104 is greater than the length of the extended portion of the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208, forming an area in which the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 can move back and forth in the slide groove of the housing 104, and the moving distance is required to ensure that the probe needle 109 is fully connected to the VGA interface, and the width of the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 is slightly smaller than the width of the slide groove outside the housing 104, so as to achieve the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208. The first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 are offset in the horizontal direction; secondly, the parts of the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 extending into the external slide groove of the shell 104 are connected to the guide body 203 through four positioning holes; the interior of the guide body 203 is tightly connected to the probe assembly 102, and a gap is left between the outside and the shell 104 to cooperate with each other, which is used for error compensation offset, and a spring 205 is embedded between the four cylinders on the periphery of the guide body 203 and the VGA docking interface 101, so that when no force is applied to the mechanism, the probe needle 109 is in a pulled-out state.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide body 203 is embedded in the housing 104 at a certain distance, the outer shape of the guide body 203 is similar to the inner shape of the housing 104 , and a space closely connected to the probe assembly 102 is reserved inside the guide body 203 .

[0032] Furthermore, the left side view of the automatic wire insertion mechanism of the utility model is as follows Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 are fixedly connected to the fixed plate 202 by bolts, and the other end passes through the slide groove outside the shell 104 and is connected to the guide body 203 by bolts, wherein the length of the slide groove outside the shell 104 allows the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 to move forward and backward by an appropriate distance.

[0033] Furthermore, the guide body 203 is embedded in the shell 104, and four cylinders protrude from the periphery of the guide body 203, which cooperate with the internal shape of the shell 104 and retain a certain gap to ensure that there is enough offset space to compensate when there is an error between the probe needle 109 and the VGA interface. The four corners of the guide body 203 are designed to be cylindrical so that it is completely embedded in the shell 104 when it is not working, and will not rotate or slip in the shell 104. Secondly, when compensating, it can be offset in both horizontal and vertical directions, ultimately ensuring that the probe needle 109 is smoothly inserted into the VGA interface.

[0034] Furthermore, in the present invention, the docking posts 105 connected to both sides of the VGA docking port 101 can realize the horizontal displacement of the VGA docking port 101, thereby driving the shell 104 connected to the VGA docking port 101, and finally driving the entire mechanism to be displaced according to the mutual cooperation between other components and the shell 104; the top of the docking post 105 is designed to be semicircular, and when the mechanism is inserted into the VGA interface, the docking post 105 is first matched with the jacks on both sides of the VGA interface, because the jacks on both sides of the VGA interface may have manufacturing size errors and the docking posts 105 on both sides cannot completely find the positions of the jacks on both sides of the VGA interface accurately, so the semicircular design of the top of the docking post 105 causes slippage to achieve error compensation when there is a slight horizontal error between the docking post 105 and the jacks on both sides of the VGA interface, and finally the VGA docking port positioning hole 107 is smoothly docked with the VGA interface.

[0035] Furthermore, in the mutual cooperation between the housing 104 and the guide body 203 in the present invention, the length of the cylinder around the guide body 203 is half of the length of the guide body 203 (e.g. Figure 6 As shown), a spring is subsequently added, and the other end of the spring is in contact with the VGA docking interface 101; when the mechanism is docked with the VGA interface, the docking column 105 and the VGA docking interface positioning hole 107 must first be successfully docked, and then the probe assembly 102 must be docked, wherein the spring is used to ensure that when the docking column 105 and the VGA docking interface positioning hole 107 are not docked, the elastic force generated by the spring between the guide body 203 and the VGA docking interface 101 causes the probe assembly 102 to be in a retracted position.

[0036] Furthermore, in the present invention, the force-bearing surface of the fixing plate 202 is designed to be arc-shaped, the purpose of which is to achieve the displacement of the probe assembly 102 in the vertical direction.

[0037] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0038] The fixing plate 202 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208. The first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 are pushed by the force acting on the fixing plate 202, and the first connecting plate 201 and the second connecting plate 208 extend into the shell 104 and connect with the guide body 203, and finally drive the guide body 203; since there is a spring between the guide body 203 and the VGA docking interface 101, after pushing the fixing plate 202, the entire mechanism will move forward as a whole until the docking column 105 on the VGA docking interface 101 and the VGA docking interface positioning hole 107 are docked, and then the guide body 203 will drive the probe assembly 102 to move forward, and the probe needle 109 on the probe assembly 102 first passes through the guide plate 103, and finally completes the docking with the entire VGA interface.

[0039] Looking at the plug composed of the shell 104, the VGA docking port 101 and the docking pole 105 separately, when the docking pole 105 contacts the positioning holes on both sides of the VGA port, the positioning error between the docking pole 105 and the positioning holes on both sides of the VGA port will be adjusted, causing the shell 104 and the entire mechanism to shift in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the docking pole 105 can be successfully inserted.

[0040] When the guide body 203, the first connecting plate 201, the second connecting plate 208, the fixed plate 202 and the probe assembly 102 are plugged in and out separately, when there is an upper and lower deviation between the female connector of the VGA interface and the probe needle 109, the two driving devices above and below the fixed plate 202 will adjust the size of the driving force to adjust the vertical displacement of the fixed plate 202. Finally, through the connection between the guide body 203, the first connecting plate 201, the second connecting plate 208, the fixed plate 202 and the probe assembly 102, the probe assembly 102 is driven to be offset in the vertical direction to complete the docking of the probe needle 109 with the female connector of the VGA interface.
