DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The figure shows a three-dimensional schematic diagram, a three-dimensional exploded schematic diagram and a three-dimensional exploded schematic diagram from another angle of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is a DisplayPort plug connector, mainly comprising: a colloid structure 1, two pairs of latch members 2, a front shell 3, an upper inner shell 4, a lower inner shell 5, an upper outer shell 6 and a lower outer shell 7. The colloid structure 1 comprises a first terminal assembly 10, a second terminal assembly 12 and a colloid member 14 for inserting the first terminal assembly 10 and the second terminal assembly 12, wherein the first terminal assembly 10 comprises a plurality of first terminals 100 and a first seat 102 for fixing each first terminal 100, the second terminal assembly 12 comprises a plurality of second terminals 120 and a second seat 122 for fixing each second terminal 120, the colloid member 14 defines an insertion space 140, a slot 142 and a clearance groove 144, the insertion space 140 is for the second seat 122 to be inserted after being combined with the first seat 102, and each slot 142 is located on both sides of the insertion space 140.

[0031] After the first base 102 and the second base 122 are combined, the guide structure 104 disposed on the first base 102 can be used to form a guide groove 146 corresponding to the colloid member 14, so that the first base 102 can be smoothly and quickly assembled into the colloid member 14 through the guide groove 146 by the guide structure 104 (refer to Figure 5 ).

[0032] For reference Figure 4 It can be seen that the first base body 102 is provided with multiple first positioning members 1020, and the second base body 122 is provided with multiple second positioning members 1220. The first positioning members 1020 are mainly circular hole structures, and the second positioning members 1220 are square column structures. Therefore, when the second positioning members 1220 are inserted into the first positioning members 1020, the assembly strength can be enhanced.

[0033] In the above description, each first terminal 100 is defined by a first contact section 1000, a first conductive section 1002, and a first connecting section 1004 located between the first contact section 1000 and the first conductive section 1002; each second terminal 120 is defined by a second contact section 1202, a second conductive section 1204, and a second connecting section 1206 located between the second contact section 1202 and the second conductive section 1204, and the first conductive section 1002 and the second conductive section 1204 are bent correspondingly to provide a circuit board 8 for clamping and fixing (refer to Figure 8 ).

[0034] In addition, each pair of latch members 2 is respectively inserted into the slots 142 of the colloid member 14 (see also Figure 5 and Fig. 9) Each pair of latch components 2 is respectively inserted into the slot 142, and each pair of latch components 2 defines a connecting portion 20, an elastic arm 21 extending from the connecting portion 20, a contact portion 22 defined at one end of the elastic arm 21 and protruding from the slot 142, a fixing portion 23 extending from the other end of the connecting portion 20, a fixing portion 24 extending from the fixing portion 23 for fixing in the slot 142, a pressing portion 25 located between the connecting portion 20 and the elastic arm 21 and protruding from the slot 142, and an overpressure portion 26 located between the connecting portion 20 and the elastic arm 21 and corresponding to the fixing portion 23.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, since the latch member 2 is stamped and formed, the formed fixing portion 24 can be effectively fixed in the slot 142, thereby enhancing the stability of the latch member 2 after installation, and preventing the latch member 2 from being separated during the plugging and unplugging process.

[0036] At the same time Fig. 9 It can be seen that the fixing portion 23 in the latch member 2 is mainly capable of penetrating into the slot 142 and fixing the position of the entire latch member 2, and then the latch member 2 is restricted by the fixing portion 24 from being pulled out after being inserted, thereby preventing the latch member 2 from being disengaged during use and being unable to be locked to the socket connector through the latch member 2. At the same time, the pressing portion 25 protrudes out of the slot 142 and corresponds to the pressing piece 60 of the upper shell 6. Therefore, the pressing portion 25 can be moved downward by pressing the pressing piece 60, thereby driving the elastic arm 21 downward to allow the contact portion 22 to retract into the slot 142 to achieve the purpose of disengaging the socket connector. In order to prevent the entire latch component 2 from being deformed and unable to rebound due to excessive pressing, the over-pressure portion 26 is used to correspond to the fixing portion 23. When the pressing force is too large, the over-pressure portion 26 directly hits the fixing portion 23. Since the distance between the over-pressure portion 26 and the fixing portion 23 can limit the deformation after being pressed, the contact portion 22 can be limited to retract into the slot 142 without exceeding the deformation range that the material of the latch component 2 can withstand.

[0037] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 The figure shows the schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the upper inner shell and the lower inner shell of the utility model, the partial enlarged schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the upper inner shell combined with the front shell, the partial enlarged schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the lower inner shell against the lower outer shell and the front shell, and the schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the upper outer shell and the lower outer shell in the positioning. The front shell 3 is mainly set outside the colloid part 14 and defines a slot 30 corresponding to the clearance groove 144, and a plurality of openings 34 for the contact part 22 to pass through (refer to Figure 1), the upper inner shell 4 is arranged at the rear end of the colloid structure 1 and extends a clamping member 40 on one side, defines two through holes 41 and a clearance space 43, the clamping member 40 is used to extend into the clearance groove 144 and be clamped in the clamping groove 30, each through hole 41 is used for the pressing portion 25 of the latch member 2 to protrude, the lower inner shell 5 is arranged at the rear end of the colloid structure 1 and is clamped in the upper inner shell 4. The upper outer shell 6 is used to shield the upper inner shell 4 and is provided with a pressing member 60 corresponding to the pressing portion 25, and the pressing member 60 applies pressure to the pressing portion 25 to change the position of the contact portion 22, and the lower outer shell 7 is used to shield the lower inner shell 5 and is clamped and connected with the upper outer shell 6.

[0038] More importantly, the clearance space 43 of the upper inner shell 4 corresponds to the connection portion 20 of the latch member 2. The connection portion 20 is mainly an arc-shaped structure, so the connection portion 20 can maintain a distance from the upper inner shell 4 without contacting it. In this way, it can effectively reduce the situation where the latch member 2 is used and the structural friction causes excessive interference with the structure of the latch member 2, resulting in inconvenience in pressing the operation.

[0039] in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 It can be seen that a plurality of snap-fit ​​structures 32, 42 are respectively arranged on both sides of the front shell 3 and the upper inner shell 4, wherein both sides of the front shell 3 and the upper inner shell 4 are located at the narrower width positions on both sides of the colloid structure 1. At the same time, the snap-fitting member 40 of the upper inner shell 4 is inserted into the clearance groove 144 and snapped into the snap-fitting groove 30, so that the upper inner shell 4 is combined with the rear end of the front shell 3, and then the lower inner shell 5 is installed from bottom to top and the plurality of snap-fitting windows 50 formed on both sides of the lower inner shell 5 are used to correspond to the snap-fitting structures 32, 42, so as to achieve the snap-fitting effect, so that the lower inner shell 5 is fixed to the front shell 3 and the upper inner shell 4.

[0040] Complete the installation of the front shell 3, the upper inner shell 4 and the lower inner shell 5, refer to Fig.10 It can be seen that the upper shell 6 and the lower shell 7 are respectively fixed to the outer sides of the upper inner shell 4 and the lower inner shell 5, and the upper shell 6 is provided with a plurality of latches 61 and a plurality of positioning latches 62, and the lower shell 7 is provided with a plurality of buckle grooves 70 and a plurality of. During installation, the upper shell 6 is installed on the outer side of the upper inner shell 4 and covers it. At this time, a positioning space 64 is defined between the positioning latch 62 in the upper shell 6 and the upper inner shell 4, and the lower shell 7 is installed from bottom to top on the outer side of the lower inner shell 5. At this time, the positioning column 72 of the lower shell 7 is inserted into the positioning space 64 of the upper shell 6, so as to achieve the purpose of positioning and avoid damage caused by inaccurate buckling due to misalignment during installation. After completing the above positioning, the buckle groove 70 of the lower shell 7 and the latch 61 of the upper shell 6 can be used to perform structural engagement to complete the installation.

[0041] After the installation of the upper shell 6 and the lower shell 7 is completed, Figure 8It can be seen that the inner side of the lower outer shell 7 directly presses against the protruding portion 52 of the lower inner shell 5. Since the protruding portion 52 is located at the front and rear position of the lower outer shell 7, the lower inner shell 5 and the lower outer shell 7 can maintain a stable fit after installation without warping and causing the structure to become loose. Furthermore, the abutting portion 54 on the lower inner shell 5 mainly protrudes toward the colloid component 14, so that after the lower inner shell 5 is installed with the front shell 3 and the upper inner shell 4, the support effect of the lower inner shell 5 on the front shell 3 at the front end can be strengthened, thereby improving the stability and strength of the overall structure.
