[0017] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0018] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0019] The utility model provides Figures 1-2 In the embodiment of the utility model, a connector structure with a locking structure includes: a base body 1 and a plug-in portion 2 arranged at the lower end of the base body 1; a locking piece 8 is formed on the base body 1, one end of the locking piece 8 is fixedly matched with the base body 1, and the other end extends to the position of the plug-in portion 2, forming an elastic fit between the locking piece 8 and the base body 1;

[0020] The locking piece 8 and the plug-in portion 2 are clearance-matched to form an installation locking slot 3;

[0021] When in use, the plug-in portion 2 is plugged into the socket structure of the circuit board component 9 in a side-insertion manner, and during the plug-in process, the circuit board component 9 is inserted into the installation lock slot 3;

[0022] In addition, the gap height of the installation lock groove 3 is smaller than the thickness of the circuit board component 9. During insertion, the circuit board component 9 is squeezed into the installation lock groove 3 by utilizing the elastic cooperation structure of the locking piece 8. During the squeezing process, the locking piece 8 will be deformed to expand the installation lock groove 3, so that the circuit board component 9 can enter the installation lock groove 3. The rebound characteristics of the locking piece 8 are utilized to achieve the clamping work of the circuit board component 9, thereby achieving a locking fit between the connecting seat and the circuit board component 9.

[0023] Furthermore, a locking slot 4 is formed in the locking plate 8, and a sliding locking block 5 is slidably installed in the locking slot 4;

[0024] The groove walls on both sides of the lock groove 4 are respectively formed with lock block guide grooves 7 for realizing the sliding of the slide lock block 5 in the lock groove 4. The two ends of the slide lock block 5 are embedded in the lock block guide grooves 7 to achieve cooperation. The slide lock block 5 can move along the lock block guide grooves 7 to the upper end position of the plug-in part 2. When the circuit board component 9 is inserted into the installation lock groove 3, the slide lock block 5 that slides to the upper end of the plug-in part 2 will be pressed onto the circuit board component 9 and tightly cooperate with the circuit board component 9. The secondary locking effect is achieved by the slide lock block 5 to enhance the connection strength of the locking cooperation between the connecting seat and the circuit board component 9. When the connecting seat needs to be disassembled, the slide lock block 5 can be pushed away from the press-fit position by sliding.

[0025] Furthermore, the locking block guide groove 7 extends in an inclined downward manner toward the plug-in portion 2 . When the sliding lock block 5 slides toward the plug-in portion 2 , the plug-in portion 2 will move downward to contact the circuit board component 9 to achieve a press-fit fit.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to prevent wear between the slider lock block 5 and the circuit board component 9 during the locking process, a non-slip rubber surface 51 is provided at the lower end of the slider lock block 5. The non-slip rubber surface 51 can both increase the friction of the mating contact and prevent wear on the circuit board component 9.

[0027] Furthermore, a pair of fixing strips 6 are provided on the plug-in portion 2 for strengthening the fixation of the locking piece 8, one end of the fixing strip 6 is connected to the base body 1, and the other end is connected to the locking piece 8; the fixing strip 6 is used to improve the connection strength of the elastic fit between the locking piece 8 and the base body 1, thereby avoiding the locking piece 8 from loosening or even breaking during use.

[0028] It should also be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "including a ..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0029] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
