DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a quick-plug connector 10 of the present application includes: a first plug 11 and a second plug 12. The housing of the first plug 11 is formed with a first bottom plate 111 and a first enclosure 112. The first enclosure 112 is formed above the first bottom plate 111. The first bottom plate 111 is provided with a plurality of pins 117 within the range of the first enclosure 112 for electrical connection. The housing of the second plug 12 is formed with a second bottom plate 121 and a second enclosure 122. The second enclosure 122 is formed below the second bottom plate 121. The end surface of the second enclosure 122 away from the second bottom plate 121 is formed with a plurality of slots 123 for the pins 117 to be inserted for electrical connection. In other words, the electrical connection of the driver 100 can be achieved by inserting the second enclosure 122 of the second plug into the first enclosure 112 of the first plug.

[0021] Furthermore, elastic sheets 124 are formed on both sides of the second enclosure 122, and buckles 126 are formed on the outside of the elastic sheets 124. A guide slot 113 is formed on the inside of the first enclosure 112 for inserting the elastic sheets 124, and a buckle 115 is formed on the groove wall of the guide slot 113 for the buckle 126 to be inserted into so as to achieve plug-in locking. The upper end of the elastic sheet 124 away from the end surface of the second enclosure 122 extends out of the buckle 115. In this way, when the first plug 11 and the second plug 12 are docked, the two elastic sheets 124 on both sides of the second enclosure 122 are respectively inserted into the guide slots 113 on both sides of the first enclosure 112, and when inserted to a predetermined position, the buckle 126 is inserted into the buckle 115, so that the plug-in position of the first plug 11 and the second plug 12 is locked. When the first plug 11 and the second plug 12 are to be separated, it is only necessary to press the upper ends of the two elastic sheets 124 at the same time, and the elastic performance of the elastic sheets 124 can drive the buckle 126 to disengage from the slot 115, so as to unlock the first plug 11 and the second plug 12. The upper and lower sides of the buckle 126 are both formed with guiding inclined surfaces 127 for guiding the buckle 126 to be inserted into or disengaged from the slot 115, which makes the operation more labor-saving.

[0022] Therefore, the above-mentioned quick-plug connector 10 is designed for the first enclosure 112 and the second enclosure 122, and the elastic sheet 124 drives the buckle 126 to lock into the card slot 115, so as to lock the plugging position between the first plug 11 and the second plug 12, thereby preventing the first plug 11 and the second plug 12 from being loosely plugged, and thus preventing the electrical contact from being poor, and the electrical connection structure is safe and reliable. The elastic sheet 124 can also drive the buckle 126 to disengage from the card slot 115, so as to easily unlock the plugging position between the first plug 11 and the second plug 12, thereby realizing easy plugging and unplugging of the first plug 11 and the second plug 12, which is simple and easy to operate and more convenient to use.

[0023] As a specific implementation, the groove bottom of the guide slot 113 is formed with a contact slope 114, and the lower end of the elastic sheet 124 is formed with a matching slope 125 for fitting with the contact slope 114. In this way, when the elastic sheet 124 is inserted into the groove bottom of the guide slot, the elastic contact between the matching slope 125 and the contact slope 114 can buffer the plugging inertia of the second plug 12, avoid hard collision, and make the plugging structure safer.

[0024] As a specific implementation, a retaining ring 128 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the second enclosure 122 to abut against the upper end of the first enclosure 112 so as to limit the insertion position of the second enclosure 122. The retaining ring 128 is formed with an opening 129 at a position corresponding to the elastic sheet 124 to limit the position of the elastic sheet 124 when the elastic sheet 124 is pressed. The retaining ring 128 is made of rubber material, and after the insertion is completed, the extrusion deformation of the rubber can seal the butt joint gap between the first shell and the second shell to a certain extent.

[0025] As a specific implementation, a chamfer 116 is formed on the inner side of the upper end surface of the first enclosure 112 away from the first bottom plate 111 to guide the insertion of the second enclosure 122, making the plug-in operation smoother.

[0026] As a specific implementation, the two slots 115 provided on the first enclosure 112 are asymmetrically arranged, and correspondingly, the two buckles 126 provided on the first enclosure 112 are also asymmetrically arranged. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the first plug 11 and the second plug 12 have a unique corresponding plugging position, thereby preventing the two from being plugged in reverse, thereby protecting the internal electrical components.

[0027] As a specific implementation, the guide slot 113 is a square slot, and the elastic sheet 124 is a square elastic sheet 124 with side walls of the guide slot 113 fitted on both sides, so that the first plug 11 and the second plug 12 can be further prevented from shaking through the surface fitting.

[0028] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the utility model in any form, and any technical solution obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
