Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a connector. Background Art

[0002] In scenarios where devices are stacked, such as battery packs or power control systems for home energy storage products, each device is usually equipped with a pair of connectors, installed at the bottom and top, to facilitate quick connection. However, due to manufacturing errors and device deformation, the connectors cannot be fully aligned, especially when tolerances accumulate during stacking. This can cause the connectors to be subjected to great forces and easily damaged, especially when the tolerance capacity of the connectors is less than the positional deviation when the two connectors mate with each other. This is particularly evident.

[0003] To solve this problem, floating connectors came into being. Floating connectors have a certain tolerance and can adapt to a certain degree of positional deviation. The basic principle is as follows: the male and female connectors are installed on the housings of the two devices respectively through floating screws. After installation, there is a certain gap between the floating screws and the connector mounting holes. The tail ends of the connectors are connected by cables and are provided with guide structures. When the connectors are inserted, if they are not aligned, the guide structures will guide the overall movement until they are aligned. Once the guide structures are inserted into place, the terminals of the connectors are basically aligned, and then the insertion operation can be performed.

[0004] However, floating connectors also come with some challenges. When the connector floats, it needs to move the cable at the end at the same time. As the current flowing through the connector increases, the cable at the end becomes thicker and thicker. In the case of limited space inside the device, this means that the length of the cable that can be accommodated will also be limited, causing the high-current cable to become thicker and shorter, making it difficult for the connector to float, and unable to meet the needs of use in high-current, small-space scenarios.
