For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, a power cord is provided, comprising a male connector 100 and a female connector 300 integrally connected by a wire. The male connector 100 comprises an upper shell 110, a lower shell 120, and a connecting base 130. The upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 are enclosed to form a hollow cylinder. The upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 are detachably connected. A terminal 140 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting base 130. The lower end of the connecting base 130 is provided with a connecting body 150. The connecting body 150 is surrounded by a circle of buckling portions 161. The upper end of the lower shell 120 is surrounded by a circle of card slots 160. The buckling portions 161 extend into the card slots 160 and are buckled into connection therewith. The upper end of the lower shell 120 is also provided with a groove 170. The connecting body 150 is also provided with a protruding limiting portion 180. The limiting portion 180 extends into the groove 170 to form a limiting connection.
[0027] Specifically, the design of the male connector 100 and female connector 300, which are integrally connected by a wire, enables efficient production and assembly of the power cord. The male connector 100, comprising an upper housing 110, a lower housing 120, and a connector base 130, facilitates disassembly and repair, and allows for flexible replacement of damaged parts as needed, reducing repair costs.
[0028] The upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 form a hollow cylinder. This design is not only compact but also provides good protection for the internal terminals 140 from the external environment. Furthermore, the removable connection between the upper and lower housings 110, 120 facilitates disassembly and assembly.
[0029] The upper end of the connector base 130 is fixed with a terminal block 140, and the lower end is provided with a connector body 150. This design not only ensures the stability of the wiring, but also makes the connection between the male connector 100 and the female connector 300 more reliable. In particular, the snap-fit connection between the snap-fit portion 161 on the connector body 150 and the slot 160 on the lower shell 120, as well as the retaining connection between the retaining portion 180 and the groove 170, not only enhances the firmness of the connection, but also effectively prevents the male connector 100 and the female connector 300 from loosening or falling off, thereby improving safety in use.
[0030] In another embodiment of the utility model, one end of the outer surface of the cylinder is radially cut to the axial end and then cut downward to separate the upper housing 110, with the remaining structure forming the lower housing 120. The upper housing 110 is provided with a connection hole 190, and the cross-section of the lower housing 120 is provided with a connection post 200. A screw passes through the connection hole 190 and is threadedly connected to the connection post 200. Specifically, the design of this power cord utilizes a unique cutting and connection method for the male connector 100. By cutting radially to the axial end and then cutting downward to separate the upper and lower housings, the formation process of the upper and lower housings 110 and 120 is simpler and more efficient. This cutting method creates a smoother interface between the upper and lower housings 110 and 120, reducing resistance during assembly and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, since the cutting is performed on the outer surface of the cylinder, it does not affect the layout and stability of the internal terminal blocks 140, thus ensuring the overall performance of the power cord. This design also facilitates disassembly and maintenance. Since the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 are connected by screws, when maintenance or replacement of parts is required, the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 can be easily disassembled by loosening the screws, which is convenient for inspection or replacement of the internal structure and also convenient for observing the wiring position of the wires.
[0031] In another embodiment of the utility model, a clamping layer 210 is provided on the inner side wall of the upper shell 110 and the inner side wall of the lower shell 120 for clamping the wire. The provision of the clamping layer 210 significantly improves the connection stability between the wire and the male plug 100. During the operation of the power cord, the wire may be affected by various external forces, such as vibration, pulling, etc. If there are no effective clamping measures, the wire may become loose or even fall off, thereby affecting the normal function of the power cord. By providing the clamping layer 210 on the inner side walls of the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120, the wire can be firmly clamped, effectively preventing the wire from loosening and falling off, and ensuring the stable operation of the power cord.
[0032] In another embodiment of the utility model, the female connector 300 includes a latch opening 310 and a mounting base 320. The front of the mounting base 320 is provided with a placement plate 330 placed perpendicularly thereto. The placement plate 330 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed latch openings 310, and the latch openings 310 are all spaced apart. The placement plate 330 is provided with a plurality of partition plates 340, and the partition plates 340 are located between two latch openings 310. The mounting base 320 is also provided with a protective cover plate 390, and the placement plate 330 is also provided with a plurality of penetrating connection openings 350. A first extension portion 360 extends from the lower end of the protective cover plate 390, and the first extension portion 360 is bent inward to form a second extension portion 370. The first extension portion 360 and the second extension portion 370 extend into the connection opening 350 to cover the latch opening 310. The protective cover plate 390 is screw-locked to the mounting base 320. Specifically, when the female connector 300 needs to be connected, the external wire is wrapped around the plug hole 310. Then, the first extension portion 360 of the protective cover 390 extends into the connection port 350 of the placement plate 330, and the second extension portion 370 is locked inwardly with the placement plate 330 to achieve the first locking level. After the protective cover 390 compresses the wire, the protective cover 390 and the mounting base 320 are screwed together to achieve the second locking level. The plug hole 310 is provided with a conductive unit 380. One end of the conductive unit 380 is connected to the plug hole 310, and the other end is connected to the wire. The female connector 300 allows the external wire to be connected to the male connector 100 through the wire. Conversely, when the wire needs to be replaced, the screw connection between the protective cover and the mounting base 320 is loosened, and the second extension portion 370 and the first extension portion 360 are pulled away in the opposite direction, so that the wire can be easily replaced. In actual applications, users can select appropriate plug ports 310 for connection as needed to meet different power requirements.
[0033] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
