[0002] A connector is a device used to connect two or more electronic components or devices to transmit signals or power. They can be simple metal sheets, plugs and sockets, or complex electronic interfaces. Because connectors have many characteristics, such as contact resistance, signal transmission rate, voltage and current carrying capacity, plugging and unplugging force, number of plugging and unplugging times, strong resistance to vibration and impact, and strong environmental adaptability, they are widely used in consumer electronics, industrial control, automotive electronics, medical equipment, and communication equipment.

[0003] However, there are some problems with the prior art: currently existing connectors generally have a male end and a female end, and the two can be connected to each other, but there is no guide structure between the two, which makes it easy for the two to be misaligned when docked, resulting in the risk of tilting during the product plugging and unplugging operations, causing damage to the product. When the existing connector is in use, after the male and female ends are connected, the two cannot be further limited and fixed, resulting in the risk of separation when subjected to strong vibration and impact, causing the mating failure. There are certain limitations, so we propose a connector with a guide structure. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the utility model, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a connector with a guide structure provided by an embodiment of the utility model includes: a first connector 1 and a second connector 2, the first connector 1 is clamped with the second connector 2, a guide rod 4 is provided on the lower surface of the second connector 2, a clamping groove 5 is provided on the upper surface of the first connector 1, and the guide rod 4 is clamped with the clamping groove 5; a clamping assembly 3, the clamping assembly 3 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the first connector 1, and the clamping assembly 3 is interconnected with the clamping groove 5, and the clamping assembly 3 is clamped with the guide rod 4;

[0029] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the middle part of the first connector 1 is hollow, and the lower end of the second connector 2 is engaged with the hollow position of the first connector 1, so that the two can be connected together to form a connector. When the second connector 2 is docked with the first connector 1, it is necessary to align the guide rod 4 with the card slot 5, and guide the second connector 2 through the guide rod 4, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating guiding and positioning, improving the installation speed, avoiding the occurrence of connection misalignment, and improving the alignment speed during plug-in and unplugging, avoiding the risk of tilting during product plug-in and unplugging operations, and reducing the possibility of damaging the product.

[0030] Through the design of the interconnection between the snap-fit ​​component 3 and the slot 5, after the guide rod 4 is set in the slot 5, the lower end of the guide rod 4 is snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​component 3, and the guide rod 4 is limited and fixed by the snap-fit ​​component 3, thereby avoiding the situation where the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are easily disconnected after being connected, and improving the connection firmness.

[0031] Furthermore, the guide rod 4 includes a docking rod 401, which is arranged corresponding to the card slot 5, and an extension plate 402 is slidably installed in the docking rod 401, and the extension plate 402 is card-engaged with the card assembly 3;

[0032] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the docking rod 401 is stuck in the slot 5, and the extension plate 402 can slide downward inside the docking rod 401, so that the extension plate 402 slides downward and one end of the extension plate 402 moves to the inside of the clamping assembly 3, and the extension plate 402 is limited by the clamping assembly 3.

[0033] Further, the clamping assembly 3 includes a fixing plate 301, which is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the first connector 1, and two ends of the upper surface of the fixing plate 301 are provided with docking grooves 303, and two ends of the inner wall of the docking groove 303 are slidably mounted with limit plates 302, and the docking groove 303 is arranged corresponding to the extension plate 402;

[0034] Specifically, Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the extension plate 402 moves into the docking groove 303, and the limiting plates 302 at both ends slide inwards relative to each other to clamp the extension plate 402, thereby achieving the effect of convenient clamping and limiting the extension plate 402, thereby improving the overall limiting of the second connector 2.

[0035] Further, the limiting plate 302 includes a buckle 3021, which is arranged on one side of the fixed plate 301, a clamping plate 3023 is arranged at one end of the buckle 3021, a butt joint notch 3024 is opened at one end of the clamping plate 3023, connecting columns 404 are arranged on both sides of the extension plate 402, and the connecting columns 404 are arranged corresponding to the butt joint notch 3024; a plurality of groups of return springs 3022 are arranged at one end of the buckle 3021, an orifice is opened on one side of the fixed plate 301, and one end of the return spring 3022 is arranged in the orifice;

[0036] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the extension plate 402 slides downward, and the connecting columns 404 on both sides dock with the docking notches 3024. The extension plate 402 continues to slide down, causing the two sets of clamping plates 3023 to slide outward, so that the lower end of the extension plate 402 completely fills the docking groove 303, and then through the characteristics of the reset spring 3022 itself, the clamping plate 3023 has an inward force, thereby driving the clamping plate 3023 to slide and limit the extension plate 402, thereby achieving the effect of convenient fixation.

[0037] It should be noted that one end of the connecting column 404 is tilted, and the docking notch 3024 and the connecting column 404 are relatively tilted, so that when the two are docked, the connecting column 404 continues to move downward along the docking notch 3024, so that the extension plate 402 and the clamping plate 3023 fit better and improve fixation.

[0038] During disassembly, the user pulls the buckle 3021 outward to slide the clamping plate 3023 outward, thereby releasing the limit on the extension plate 402 and allowing the extension plate 402 to be removed from the docking groove 303, thereby completing the disassembly.

[0039] It is additionally explained that when the clamping plate 3023 clamps the extension plate 402 , the transmission assembly 6 as a whole cannot move on the first connector 1 , and thus the extension plate 402 cannot be adjusted.

[0040] Furthermore, notches are provided on both sides of the first connector 1, and a transmission assembly 6 is provided in the notch, and the transmission assembly 6 is movably connected to the extension plate 402;

[0041] Specifically, Figures 2 to 4As shown, the transmission assembly 6 is arranged in the slot so that one side of the transmission assembly 6 is exposed on both sides of the first connector 1, so that when in use, the user can conveniently rotate the transmission assembly 6, and the transmission assembly 6 runs as a whole, thereby driving the extension plate 402 to slide up and down for position adjustment.

[0042] Further, the transmission assembly 6 includes a first gear 601, a docking plate 604 is provided on the upper surface of the first gear 601, and the docking plate 604 is clamped with the docking rod 401; a second gear 603 is meshedly connected to one side of the first gear 601, a screw rod 602 is provided on the upper surface of the second gear 603, and a threaded hole 403 is opened at one end of the extension plate 402, and the threaded hole 403 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 602;

[0043] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, one side of the first gear 601 is exposed, and the docking rod 401 is set in the slot 5. The docking rod 401 will dock with the docking plate 604 at the bottom and be clamped with each other to fix the docking rod 401 and complete the guiding effect. Then, the user rotates the first gear 601 to drive the second gear 603 to rotate. When the second gear 603 rotates, the screw 602 rotates, so that the extension plate 402 can slide up and down on the outer surface of the screw 602 through the threaded hole 403, so that the extension plate 402 is connected to the clamping component 3.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
