[0038] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] This embodiment provides an improved connector. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the improved connector of this embodiment includes a connector housing 1, a current carrier 2, an elastic clamp 3 and a button 4. The connector housing 1 is assembled by a first housing 1X and a second housing 1Y in a detachable manner. The current carrier 2 and the elastic clamp 3 are both arranged in the connector housing 1, and the current carrier 2 and the elastic clamp 3 are fixed to each other. The connector housing 1 is provided with a wiring hole 11 and a button hole 12 for pressing with a button 4. The button 4 is arranged in the button hole 12 of the connector housing 1 to press the elastic clamp 3. The pressing direction of the button 4 is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction of the wiring hole 11. The connector housing 1 is provided with a signal collection hole 10 that exposes the current carrier structure A. The signal collection hole 10 is configured to cooperate with an external signal collection component to extend into and contact the exposed current carrier structure A. The current carrier 2 can be made of copper as needed. As needed, the signal collection hole 10 and the button hole 12 are both located in the upper half of the connector housing 1. The elastic clamp 3 is located in the lower half of the connector housing 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the signal collection hole is provided on the connector housing and the signal collection hole is capable of exposing the current carrier structure. Thus, once the signal in the connector housing needs to be collected, the external signal collection component can be extended into the connector housing through the signal collection hole and directly contact the current carrier structure, so that the external signal collection component can directly collect signal data from the current carrier, thereby improving the collection accuracy of the signal in the connector.

[0041] As a preferred arrangement of the above-mentioned signal collection hole, in the embodiment, the signal collection hole 10 is located directly above the exposed current carrier structure A.

[0042] Specifically in this embodiment, see Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the carrier body 2 includes a front end portion 2a and a rear end portion 2b, wherein the front end portion 2a is the exposed carrier body structure A. For example, more specifically, see Figures 6 to 9As shown, the carrier body 2 of this embodiment includes an upper structure 21 and a lower structure 22, the upper structure 21 is formed with a front end 2a, and the upper structure 21 has a first fixing portion 211, and the lower structure 22 of the carrier body 2 has a first stop portion 221 and a second stop portion 222; the elastic clamping member 3 includes a first structure 31 and a second structure 32, the second structure 32 is configured to be pressed by the button 4 to generate elastic compression deformation and form a clamping gap with the lower structure 22 of the carrier body 2; wherein the first structure 31 is formed with a first fixing matching portion 311 and a second fixing matching portion 312, the first fixing matching portion 311 is matched and fixed with the first fixing portion 211 of the upper structure 21 of the carrier body 2, and the second fixing matching portion 312 is respectively matched with the first stop portion 221 and the second stop portion 222 of the lower structure 22 of the carrier body; the second structure 32 of the elastic clamping member 3 is formed with a through hole 321 for the lower structure 22 of the carrier body 2 to pass through.

[0043] In this embodiment, by arranging the first stopper and the second stopper of the lower half structure of the current carrier to cooperate with the second fixed matching part on the elastic clamping member respectively, the elastic clamping member can be prevented from tilting toward the clamping direction formed by the upper and lower half structures of the current carrier.

[0044] According to actual needs, the first fixing matching portion 311 is fixed with the first fixing portion 211 by snap fit. For example, the first fixing matching portion 311 of the elastic clamp 3 is a through hole, which is matched with the first fixing portion 211, and the first fixing portion 211 is a structure snap fit with the first fixing matching portion 311.

[0045] In order to prevent the fixed state between the current carrier and the elastic clamp from loosening, as an improvement, in this embodiment, a correction positioning structure 1a is provided in the connector housing 1 to correct the position of the current carrier 2 in the connector housing 1. For example, the correction positioning structure 1a is located between the upper half structure 21 and the lower half structure 22 of the current carrier 2.

[0046] In the connector of this embodiment, the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are formed correspondingly on the upper structure and the lower structure of the current carrier, and at the same time, the elastic clamp is formed with a first fixing matching portion corresponding to the first fixing portion and a second fixing matching portion matching the second fixing portion, and a fixing matching portion matching the fixed current carrier structure is arranged in the connector housing. In this way, the fixing effect of the current carrier in the connector housing is enhanced through the three-aspect fixed matching structure, which is more conducive to the stability of the external signal acquisition component when collecting signal data from the current carrier.

[0047] In order to prevent the fixation between the current carrier and the elastic clamping member from loosening, in this embodiment, the second fixing matching portion 312 of the elastic clamping member 3 has a fixing portion 3121 for fixing the lower half structure 22 of the current carrier 2. Correspondingly, the lower half structure 22 of the current carrier 2 is formed with a matching structure 22a that matches and fixes with the fixing portion 3121. For example, the fixing portion 3121 of the elastic clamping member 3 can be a groove-shaped structure, and the matching structure 22a of the current carrier 2 is a convex strip that can be inserted into the groove-shaped structure.

[0048] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that the present invention may be modified and varied by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
