DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the protection scope of the present application. It is understood that the drawings are only provided for reference and illustration, and are not used to limit the present application. The connection relationship shown in the drawings is only for the convenience of clear description and does not limit the connection method.
[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, a connector is provided in an embodiment of the present application, which is mainly composed of a connecting male head 100, a connecting female head 200, a male head cover 300 and a female head cover 400, and the circuit connection is realized through these four parts. Specifically, when the connecting male head 100 is connected with the connecting female head 200, it is necessary to put the male head cover 300 on the outside of the connecting male head 100, so that the first connecting member 110 is limited by the male head limiting rod 310 set in the male head cover 300, and the female head cover 400 is put on the outside of the connecting female head 200, so that the second connecting member 210 is limited by the female head limiting rod 410 set in the female head cover 400, and the first connecting member 110 is conveniently connected to the second connecting member 210 through the limiting action.
[0034] Among them, in the above-mentioned connection process, the first connector 110 and the second connector 210 are both line terminals in the circuit wires. Through the connection of the corresponding line terminals, the two wires can be connected, which is convenient for each terminal to correspond, and then the connection of the line can be achieved. The second terminal is a female terminal, and a connecting hole is opened at the position corresponding to the first terminal. When the first connector 110 is located in the connecting hole, the first connector 110 is connected to the second connector 210.
[0035] Among them, in the above process, since the connection of the circuit requires the first connecting member 110 to be connected correspondingly with the second connecting member 210, but in actual use, the first connecting member 110 is often unable to be connected normally with the second connecting member 210, which makes it easy to have poor contact during the use of household appliances and some functions of the appliance cannot be implemented. It is necessary to provide a male limit rod 310 and a female limit rod 410 to limit the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 respectively, so as to facilitate the normal docking of the male connector 100 and the female connector 200.
[0036] Although in the embodiment of the present application, three first connecting members 110 and three second connecting members 210 are provided, the male limiting rod 310 and the female limiting rod 410 in the present application are respectively provided with one of the first connecting members 110 and the second connecting member 210. However, if the structural space permits, the male limiting rod 310 and the female limiting rod 410 in the present application can also be applied to the case of a connector with multiple first connecting members 110 and multiple second connecting members 210. The case of multiple first connecting members 110 and multiple second connecting members 210 is not specifically described in the present application.
[0037] In the present application, in order to facilitate the male limiting rod 310 to act on the first connecting member 110 and the female limiting rod 410 to act on the second connecting member 210, a male hole 320 is opened in the male cover 300, and a female hole 420 is opened in the female cover 400. The male limiting rod 310 is located in the male hole 320, and the female limiting rod 410 is located in the female hole 420. Both the male limiting rod 310 and the female limiting rod 410 are elastic rods. For the convenience of description, only the structural features of the male limiting rod 310 are described below. As for the structural features of the female limiting rod 410, since the structural features and technical effects of the male limiting rod 310 are the same in the present application, the structural features of the female limiting rod 410 will not be described in detail unless otherwise specified.
[0038] One end of the male limiting rod 310 is connected and fixed to the male hole 320, so that the other end of the male limiting rod 310 is located in the male hole 320, and the direction of one end of the male limiting rod 310 fixed to the male hole 320 toward the other end is the direction of the male cover 300 toward the female cover 400, which facilitates the first connecting member 110 to move in the direction guided by the male limiting rod 310, thereby limiting the first connecting member 110.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, a variable angle is formed between the male limit rod 310 and the male hole 320, and the range of the variable angle is between 0 and 10 degrees. When there is no first connecting member 110 installed in the male hole 320, the variable angle is 10 degrees. When the first connecting member 110 is installed in the male hole 320, the variable angle changes according to the size of the first connecting member 110.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, a male opening 340 is opened in the male cover 300. The male opening 340 is located at one end of the male hole 320 facing the female hole 420. The male opening 340 is mainly used for the first connecting member 110 to pass through, so as to facilitate the connection between the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210. At the same time, the opening size of the male opening 340 is larger than that of the first connecting member 110.
[0041] A male stopper 330 is also provided in the male hole 320. The male stopper 330 is located on one side of the male opening 340, and one end of the male stopper 330 facing the male opening 340 is flush with one side of the male opening 340, so that the male stopper 330 can guide the first connector 110 to move. Figure 3 As shown, through the setting of the male blocking portion 330, when the first connecting member 110 passes through the male hole 320, the end of the first connecting member 110 abuts against the male blocking portion 330, so that the male blocking portion 330 can guide the first connecting member 110 to enter the position of the male opening 340. Since the male opening 340 and the female opening 440 are correspondingly arranged, when the second connecting member 210 passes through the female blocking portion 430 and enters the position of the female opening 440, the first connecting member 110 can be connected with the second connecting member 210.
[0042] Among them, in the embodiment of the present application, the male blocking portion 330 and the female blocking portion 430 are arranged on the same structure. Through the mutual cooperation of the two, the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 can be accurately docked, and the first connecting member 110 can be prevented from being unable to dock with the second connecting member 210.
[0043] In this application, if Figure 1 As shown, a tongue reed 350 is provided on the male head cover 300, and a boss 450 is provided on the female head cover 400 at a position corresponding to the tongue reed 350. The tongue reed 350 is elastically installed on the outside of the male head cover 300, and the boss 450 is fixedly installed on the outside of the female head cover 400. A through hole 451 is provided on the boss 450. When the male head cover 300 is connected to the female head cover 400, the tongue reed 350 abuts against the through hole 451, so that the male head cover 300 and the female head cover 400 are fixedly connected.
[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical method of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical method of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical method of the utility model.
