Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a connector, in particular to a high-stability Type-C connector, belonging to the technical field of Type-C interface. Background Art

[0002] The Type-C connector is a standard connector for USB interfaces, which is used to accept the interface of the Type-C plug. It can provide multiple functions, including data transmission, charging, video output, etc. It is currently widely used in various electronic devices. Compared with the Type-C plug, the Type-C socket usually has more pins and more complex circuits, so it also requires higher manufacturing and design technology. The main structure of the Type-C socket includes the shell, PCB board, pins and internal circuit. The shell is usually made of metal to protect the internal electronic components and provide electromagnetic shielding. The PCB board is used to support the electronic components and connecting pins inside the socket. The pins are used to connect the corresponding pins of the plug, also known as terminals. The internal circuit includes various capacitors, inductors, chips and other components to support different functions, such as data transmission, power management, signal conversion, etc. The biggest feature of the Type-C interface is that it supports insertion in both positive and negative directions, which officially solves the global problem of "USB can never be plugged in correctly", and it can be inserted in either direction.

[0003] During the plugging process of the female and male ends of the existing Type-C interface, the plugging positions of the female and male ends are smoothly set. After long-term use, the connection between the female and male ends is likely to loosen, which not only affects the stability of the interface connection, but also affects the stability of data transmission. In addition, the existing Type-C interface is not convenient to be in a locked state when in use, and is easily disconnected under the action of external force, and has low stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical issues to be resolved

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The clamping mechanism 3 includes two mechanism grooves 301 opened on the inner wall of the female seat 1, each mechanism groove 301 is slidably connected with a slide 302, a spring 303 is fixed between each slide 302 and the inner wall of the mechanism groove 301, and a clamping block 304 is fixed on the side of each slide 302 away from the spring 303, and the outer surface of the male head 2 is provided with two clamping grooves 305 adapted to the clamping block 304;

[0031] The outer surface of the clamping block 304 is clamped with the inner wall of the clamping slot 1 305. When the male connector 2 is inserted into the female connector 1, the two clamping blocks 304 in the clamping mechanism 3 are squeezed by the male connector 2 to drive the two slides 302 to slide inside the mechanism slot 301. When the clamping slot 1 305 on the male connector 2 slides between the two mechanism slots 301, the clamping block 304 can be clamped with the clamping slot 1 305 under the action of the two springs 1 303, so that the female connector 1 and the male connector 2 can be clamped, avoiding the loose connection caused by the smooth setting between the traditional female connector 1 and the male connector 2, improving the stability of the interface connection, and thus improving the stability of data transmission.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 4 The locking mechanism 4 includes a locking block 401 and a sliding rod 402. A through groove 403 is provided inside the sliding rod 402. A second spring 404 is fixed between the bottom surface of the sliding rod 402 and the inner bottom wall of the female seat 1. The end of the locking block 401 close to the sliding rod 402 is always in contact with the inner wall of the through groove 403. The outer surface of the male head 2 is provided with a second card groove 405 adapted to the locking block 401. The end of the locking block 401 close to the male head 2 is card-engaged with the second card groove 405.

[0033] A slider 406 is fixed to the top of the slide bar 402, and two symmetrical limit blocks 407 are fixed to the outer surface of the slider 406. When the male connector 2 is inserted into the female base 1, the locking block 401 is squeezed by the male connector 2 and rotates toward the slide bar 402. At this time, under the action of the second spring 404, the slide bar 402 can drive the end of the locking block 401 close to the through slot 403 to have an opposing force in the opposite direction. As the male connector 2 slides into the female base 1, the end of the locking block 401 close to the male connector 2 can slide into the second card slot 405 on the male connector 2, so that the locking block 401 and the second card slot 405 can be engaged, thereby being able to The male connector 2 is locked inside the female connector 1. When the male connector 2 needs to be pulled out, pressing the slider 406 can cause the slider 402 to drive the locking block 401 to rotate clockwise near the through slot 403. At this time, the end of the locking block 401 close to the male connector 2 can slide out of the second slot 405, releasing the engagement between the locking block 401 and the second slot 405, thereby releasing the locking of the female connector 1 and the male connector 2, preventing the male connector 2 from being easily disconnected from the female connector 1 under the action of external force, and further improving the stability of the interface connection.

The slide plate 410 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the female base 1. When the slider 406 is pressed to release the engagement between the lock block 401 and the second slot 405, the slide plate 410 can quickly pop out the male connector 2 under the action of the spring 409, thereby quickly releasing the lock between the male connector 2 and the female base 1.

[0036] A fixing column 411 is fixed inside the female base 1 , and an outer surface of the fixing column 411 is rotatably connected to the locking block 401 .

[0037] When the utility model is in use: when the male head 2 is inserted into the female seat 1, the two card blocks 304 in the card connection mechanism 3 are squeezed by the male head 2 to drive the two slide plates 302 to slide into the mechanism groove 301; when the card groove 1 305 on the male head 2 slides between the two mechanism grooves 301, under the action of the two springs 1 303, the card block 304 can be engaged with the card groove 1 305, so that the card connection between the female seat 1 and the male head 2 can be achieved, avoiding the loose connection caused by the smooth setting between the traditional female seat 1 and the male head 2, improving the stability of the interface connection, and thus improving the stability of data transmission; when the male head 2 is inserted into the female seat 1, the locking block 401 is squeezed by the male head 2 and rotates in the direction close to the slide bar 402; at this time, under the action of the spring 2 404, the slide bar 40 2 drives the end of the locking block 401 close to the through slot 403 to have an opposing force in the opposite direction. As the male connector 2 slides toward the inside of the female connector 1, the end of the locking block 401 close to the male connector 2 can slide into the second card slot 405 on the male connector 2, so as to realize the card connection between the locking block 401 and the second card slot 405, thereby locking the male connector 2 in the female connector 1. When the male connector 2 needs to be pulled out, pressing the slider 406 can make the slider 402 drive the locking block 401 to rotate clockwise close to the through slot 403. At this time, the end of the locking block 401 close to the male connector 2 can slide out from the second card slot 405, releasing the card connection between the locking block 401 and the second card slot 405, thereby releasing the locking of the female connector 1 and the male connector 2, thereby preventing the male connector 2 from being easily disconnected from the female connector 1 under the action of external force, and further improving the stability of the interface connection.
