[0046] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present application provides a connector, which includes a female component 100 and a male component 200.

[0048] The female assembly 100 includes a female sleeve 110 and a stopper 120 disposed on the peripheral wall of the female sleeve 110. The male assembly 200 includes a male sleeve 210 for plugging with the female sleeve 110 and a locking portion 220 disposed on the peripheral wall of the male sleeve 210.

[0049] Among them, the locking part 220 can be slid into the locking part 120 under the drive of the male sleeve body 210, so that the locking part 220 and the locking part 120 are locked and matched, and the locking part 120 can rotate under the drive of the female sleeve body 110 to unlock and separate from the locking part 220.

[0050] It should be noted that in the present application, one of the female sleeve body 110 and the male sleeve body 210 has a cavity for the other to be plugged in. In the present application, it is preferred that the female sleeve body 110 has a cavity for the male sleeve body 210 to be plugged in. In addition, the shapes of the female sleeve body 110 and the male sleeve body 210 can be, but are not limited to, cylindrical, prismatic, and other structures, and are not specifically limited.

[0051] The connector of the present application is provided with a stopper 120 on the peripheral wall of the female sleeve 110, and a locking portion 220 on the peripheral wall of the male sleeve 210. When the user manually operates to make the male sleeve 210 and the female sleeve 110 plug and mate, the locking portion 220 on the male sleeve 210 and the stopper 120 on the female sleeve 110 can be aligned linearly first, and then the male sleeve 210 can be slidably inserted into the female sleeve 110 to complete the docking of the male sleeve 210 and the female sleeve 110, so that the female head component 100 and the male head component 200 are electrically connected.

[0052] During the process of sliding the male sleeve body 210 into the female sleeve body 110, the locking portion 220 on the peripheral wall of the male sleeve body 210 will be synchronously slid into the locking portion 120 on the peripheral wall of the female sleeve body 110 to achieve locking cooperation with the locking portion 120, thereby achieving a locked connection between the female sleeve body 110 and the male sleeve body 210, preventing the female head component 100 and the male head component 200 from being separated by external force during use of the connector, and ensuring the stability of the connection between the female head component 100 and the male head component 200.

[0053] When the user needs to disconnect and separate the female sleeve 110 and the male sleeve 210, the user only needs to slightly rotate the female sleeve 110 to rotate the locking portion 120 on the female sleeve 110 at a small angle relative to the male sleeve 210, so that the locking portion 120 on the female sleeve 110 can be separated from the locking portion 220 on the male sleeve 210, and the locking state of the locking portion 220 by the locking portion 120 can be released. At this time, the user can slide and pull the male sleeve 210 out of the female sleeve 110 without any effort. During this process, the locking portion 220 on the male sleeve 210 slides and disengages along the locking portion 120 on the female sleeve 110, so that the female sleeve 110 and the male sleeve 210 can be easily disconnected and separated.

[0054] It is not difficult to understand that the connector of the present application is simple to operate and easy to use. The user can firmly connect the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector through simple operation, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector and preventing the female component 100 and the male component 200 from being separated by external force during use of the connector. Moreover, the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector can be easily disconnected and separated through simple operation, thereby improving the overall ease of use of the connector.

[0055] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments of the present application, the female sleeve 110 includes a female seat 111, a fixed sleeve 112 and an elastic reset member 113, the fixed sleeve 112 is sleeved on the female seat 111 and can rotate relative to the female seat 111, the two ends of the elastic reset member 113 are respectively connected to the female seat 111 and the fixed sleeve 112, and the stopper 120 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 112;

[0056] When the locking portion 220 slides into the locking portion 120, the fixing sleeve 112 is pushed by the locking portion 220 to rotate relative to the mother seat 111 and compress the elastic reset member 113. The elastic reset member 113 can be elastically reset to drive the fixing sleeve 112 to rotate and reset and make the locking portion 220 and the locking portion 120 lock and cooperate.

[0057] Specifically, the mother seat 111 and the fixed sleeve 112 are both columnar structures. The fixed sleeve 112 is sleeved on the mother seat 111 and movably connected to the mother seat 111. The axis of the fixed sleeve 112 coincides with the axis of the mother seat 111, and the fixed sleeve 112 can rotate around its own axis or the axis of the mother seat 111.

[0058] The locking portion 120 is provided with an introduction inclined surface 121 , and the locking portion 220 is provided with a matching inclined surface 221 that slidably matches with the introduction inclined surface 121 .

[0059] It is not difficult to understand that when the user slides the male sleeve body 210 into the female sleeve body 110, the mating bevel 221 on the locking portion 220 slides along the introduction bevel 121 of the locking portion 120. With the help of the sliding cooperation between the mating bevel 221 and the introduction bevel 121, the locking portion 220 pushes the fixing sleeve 112 to rotate clockwise around the axis of the female seat 111. At the same time, the rotation of the fixing sleeve 112 will compress the elastic reset member 113. When the top end of the locking portion 220 slides to the bottom end of the locking portion 120, that is, when the bottom end of the locking portion 120 is higher than the top end of the locking portion 220, the user removes the external force and the elastic reset member 113 resets to drive the fixing sleeve 112 to rotate counterclockwise around the axis of the female seat 111, thereby bringing the locking portion 120 to reset, so that the bottom end of the locking portion 120 stops the top end of the locking portion 220, thereby achieving locking cooperation with the locking portion 220 and completing the locking connection between the female sleeve body 110 and the male sleeve body 210.

[0060] It is not difficult to understand that the connector of the present application, through the coordinated arrangement of the female seat 111, the fixing sleeve 112 and the elastic reset member 113, the user does not need to screw the male sleeve body 210 into the female sleeve body 110 by repeatedly screwing the male sleeve body 210 to complete the connection and fixation between the female sleeve body 110 and the male sleeve body 210, but only needs to use a slight external force to slide the male sleeve body 210 into the female sleeve body 110 and firmly connect the female sleeve body 110 and the male sleeve body 210, which greatly improves the convenience of use of the connector.

[0061] Further, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The inner wall of the fixed sleeve 112 is provided with an escape opening 1121, and the stopper 120 is located at the escape opening 1121 and forms a limited space with the escape opening 1121, and the limited space is used to limit the rotation angle of the fixed sleeve 112. In this way, when the fixed sleeve 112 is driven by the locking part 220 of the male sleeve body 210 to rotate around the axis of the female seat 111 by a certain angle, the inner wall of the escape opening 1121 of the fixed sleeve 112 is stopped by the locking part 220 in the circumferential direction and cannot continue to rotate. At this time, the locking part 220 just slides to the bottom of the stopper 120. When the user senses that the male sleeve body 210 cannot continue to rotate, the external force on the male sleeve body 210 is immediately removed. At this time, the elastic reset member 113 resets and drives the fixed sleeve 112 to rotate to the initial position, so that the stopper 120 rotates a certain angle and then locks the locking part 220, completing the locking connection of the female sleeve body 110 and the male sleeve body 210.

[0062] It can be understood that the present application provides an avoidance opening 1121 on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 112 opposite to the locking portion 120, so that the limiting space formed by the locking portion 120 and the avoidance opening 1121 can accurately limit the rotation angle of the fixing sleeve 112, and also limit the axial movement stroke of the male sleeve body 210, thereby ensuring that the male sleeve body 210 is accurately inserted into the female sleeve body 110 to form a stable connection.

[0063] Further, see Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The elastic reset member 113 is constructed as a torsion spring, and a U-shaped ring 1131 and a circular opening 1132 are respectively formed at both ends of the torsion spring. A fixing column 1122 is provided on the fixing sleeve 112 to be snap-fitted with the circular opening 1132, and a fixing groove 1111 is provided on the mother seat 111 to be snap-fitted with the U-shaped ring 1131.

[0064] Specifically, see Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig.10A limiting block 116 is inserted into the cavity of the mother seat 111. The limiting block 116 is plugged into and limited by the mother seat 111 through the cooperation of a buckle and a slot. The fixing groove 1111 is set on the surface of the limiting block 116, and the torsion spring is clamped between the limiting block 116 and the fixing sleeve 112. It is easy to understand that when the torsion spring is assembled into the cavity of the mother seat 111, the circular opening 1132 at one end of the torsion spring is clamped or hung on the fixing column 1122 of the fixing sleeve 112, and the U-shaped ring 1131 at the other end of the torsion spring is clamped in the fixing groove 1111 of the limiting block 116. In this way, the limiting assembly of the torsion spring is achieved. The cooperation between the limiting block 116 and the fixing sleeve 112 makes the torsion spring have a certain elastic torsion force in the initial state, so that when the fixing sleeve 112 rotates relative to the mother seat 111, it can rotate and twist the torsion spring, and also make the torsion spring drive the fixing sleeve 112 to rotate and reset to the initial position when it is elastically reset. In this way, it is ensured that the locking portion 120 can accurately form a locking fit with the locking portion 220.

[0065] Further, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 The female sleeve 110 also includes a first limiting ring 114 clamped on the outer wall of the female seat 111, the first limiting ring 114 has a first end face 1141, and the bottom end of the fixed sleeve 112 has a boss 1123 abutting against the first end face 1141.

[0066] The female sleeve body 110 further includes a second limiting ring 115 . The first limiting ring 114 has a second end surface 1142 arranged opposite to the first end surface 1141 . The second limiting ring 115 abuts against the second end surface 1142 and is fixedly connected to the fixing sleeve 112 .

[0067] Specifically, the first limiting ring 114 is arranged at the middle position of the outer wall of the female sleeve 110 and is integrally formed with the female sleeve 110. The first end face 1141 and the second end face 1142 are respectively the upper and lower annular surfaces of the first limiting ring 114. The boss 1123 at the bottom end of the fixed sleeve 112 is correspondingly constructed as a circular ring block. The outer wall of the boss 1123 has an external threaded portion 1124, and the inner wall of the second limiting ring 115 has an internal threaded portion 1151 that cooperates with the external threaded portion 1124. The bottom inner wall of the second limiting ring 115 is radially convexly provided with a step surface 1152 that abuts and cooperates with the second end face 1142.

[0068] By means of the abutment cooperation between the first end face 1141 on the first limiting ring 114 and the boss 1123, and the abutment cooperation between the second end face 1142 on the first limiting ring 114 and the second limiting ring 115, the second limiting ring 115 is fixedly connected to the fixing sleeve 112, so that the fixing sleeve 112 can be limited in the axial direction to avoid the axial movement of the fixing sleeve 112 along the female seat 111 when the fixing sleeve 112 rotates around itself, thereby ensuring that the female sleeve body 110 and the male sleeve body 210 can accurately form a locking fit.

[0069] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig.12 In some embodiments of the present application, the male sleeve body 210 includes a male seat 211 and a plug sleeve 212 sleeved on the male seat 211, a first connecting portion 213 is protruding from the end of the male seat 211, and a second connecting portion (not shown in the figure) for connecting and coupling with the first connecting portion 213 is provided in the female seat 111.

[0070] Specifically, the plug-in sleeve 212 can be threadedly connected to the male seat 211, or it can be integrally formed with the male seat 211. The locking portion 220 is arranged on the outer wall of the plug-in sleeve 212 to facilitate locking cooperation with the locking portion 120 on the inner wall of the female seat 111. The first connecting portion 213 can be constructed as a metal terminal integrally formed with the male seat 211. Similarly, the second connecting portion is constructed as a metal terminal integrally formed with the female seat 111.

[0071] It is understandable that when the male sleeve body 210 is slidably inserted and locked on the female seat 111 as a whole, the first connecting portion 213 on the male seat 211 is connected and coupled with the second connecting portion on the female seat 111, and the female component 100 and the male component 200 form an electrical connection.

[0072] In addition, see Figure 1 The present application also provides a wiring harness structure, which includes a first wiring harness 300, a second wiring harness 400 and a connector of any of the above embodiments, and the first wiring harness 300 and the second wiring harness 400 are electrically connected to the female head component 100 and the male head component 200 respectively.

[0073] Specifically, when assembling the first wiring harness 300, the first wiring harness 300 can be electrically connected to the female head component 100 first, and then the first wiring harness 300 and the female head component 100 are fixed together by injection molding or a shell, and then the fixing sleeve 112 is sleeved on the female seat 111 and abutted against the first end face 1141 of the first limiting ring 114, so that the step surface of the second limiting ring 115 abuts against the second end face 1142 of the first limiting ring 114 and is threadedly connected to the fixing sleeve 112, completing the connection and assembly of the first wiring harness 300 and the female head component 100.

[0074] Of course, in other embodiments, the first wiring harness 300 can be electrically connected to the second connecting portion having a terminal structure first, and then the mother seat 111 is formed by in-mold injection molding, and then the limit block 116 is inserted into the cavity of the mother seat 111, and then the fixing sleeve 112 is sleeved on the mother seat 111 and abutted against the first end face 1141 of the first limit ring 114, and then, the step surface of the second limit ring 115 is abutted against the second end face 1142 of the first limit ring 114 and threadedly connected to the fixing sleeve 112, thereby completing the connection and assembly of the first wiring harness 300 and the female head assembly 100.

[0075] Similarly, when assembling the second wiring harness 400, the second wiring harness 400 can be electrically connected to the male assembly 200 first, and then the second wiring harness 400 and the male body seat 211 in the male assembly are fixed together by injection molding or a shell, and finally the plug sleeve 212 is threadedly connected to the male body seat 211 to complete the connection and assembly of the second wiring harness 400 and the male assembly 200. In other schemes, the plug sleeve 212 and the male body seat 211 can also be integrally injection molded or assembled together by interference fit, snap connection, etc., so as to complete the connection and assembly of the second wiring harness 400 and the male assembly 200.

[0076] Of course, in other embodiments, the second wiring harness 400 may be first connected to the first connecting portion 213 in the terminal structure, and then the male body seat 211 may be formed by in-mold injection molding, and then the plug sleeve 212 may be threadedly connected to the male body seat 211. Of course, the plug sleeve 212 and the male body seat 211 may also be integrally injection molded or assembled together by interference fit, snap connection, etc., so that the connection and assembly of the second wiring harness 400 and the male connector assembly 200 are completed.

[0077] It is understandable that the first wire harness 300 and the second wire harness 400 are both used to connect with the terminals, sockets, etc. of the electronic device. Since the wire harness structure of the present application is equipped with the above-mentioned connector, it also has the same technical effect as the connector, that is, it is simple to operate and easy to use. The user can firmly connect the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector through simple operation, ensure the connection stability of the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector, and avoid the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector being separated by external force during use. Moreover, through simple operation, the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector can be easily disconnected and separated, which improves the overall ease of use of the connector and also improves the overall compatibility and universality of the wire harness structure.

[0078] In addition, the present application also provides an electronic device, which includes the above-mentioned connector.

[0079] Specifically, the electronic device may be a plug-in device such as a USB flash drive or an adapter, or may be an electronic product or electronic accessory such as a mobile phone. The present application does not impose any special restrictions on the above electronic devices.

[0080] For example, in some embodiments, the male component 200 of the connector can be disposed on a plug-in device or apparatus such as a USB flash drive or an adapter, and the female component 100 of the connector can be disposed on an electronic product, an electronic device, or an electronic accessory.

[0081] For example, in some other embodiments, the first connection portion 213 (male end) of the male component 200 can be a connector male end such as a standard USB male end, a lightning male end, a MICRO USB male end, a pogopin male end, etc.; correspondingly, the second connection portion (female end) on the female component 100 can be a connector female end such as a standard USB female end, a lightning female end, a MICRO USB female end, a pogopin female end, etc. It can be understood that the type of the first connection portion 213 (male end) of the male component 200 is consistent with that of the second connection portion (female end) of the female component 100.

[0082] Obviously, the electronic device of the present application, since it is equipped with the above-mentioned wiring harness structure, also has the same technical effect brought by the wiring harness structure, that is, the user can firmly connect the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector through simple operation, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector, and avoiding the female component 100 and the male component 200 being separated by external force during the use of the connector. Moreover, the female component 100 and the male component 200 of the connector can be easily disconnected and separated through simple operation, thereby improving the overall ease of use of the connector and facilitating the electrical connection of different electrical components in the electronic device.
