[0022] The following is an explanation and description of the technical scheme of the embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the utility model, but the following embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiment in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0023] A flexible floating meter reading bus connector according to an embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] For easier understanding, see Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides an embodiment of an elastic floating meter reading bus connector, comprising a housing 1, one end of the housing 1 is provided with a plurality of connection ports 2, and an elastic connection mechanism is provided inside the connection port 2;

[0026] The elastic connection mechanism includes two baffles 4, two first springs 6, a connecting cover 7, a second spring 9, two clamping plates 12, a connecting end 10, a third spring 14 and a clamping plate 15. A movable groove 5 is opened inside the connecting port 2. One end of the baffle 4 is rotatably connected to one end of the movable groove 5 through a torsion spring. The connecting cover 7 is movably connected to the inside of the connecting port 2 through the second spring 9. The connecting end 10 is fixedly installed inside the connecting cover 7. The clamping plate 12 is movably connected to the other end of the movable groove 5 through the first spring 6. A clamping groove 13 matching the clamping plate 12 is opened on the side wall of the connecting cover 7. The clamping plate 15 is movably connected to one side of the baffle 4 through the third spring 14. The second spring 9 is located between the side wall of the connecting cover 7 and the connecting port 2.

[0027] It should be noted that, by setting a torsion spring, the baffle 4 can always be rotated to one side, and by setting the card plate 12 and the card slot 13, the position of the connection cover 7 can be limited, so that the wiring can be better inserted into the connection cover 7 during connection, and by setting the second spring 9, the connection cover 7 can be movable inside the connection port 2, and the connection cover 7 can be supported so that the connection cover 7 is always located at the center of the connection port 2, and by setting the third spring 14 and the clamping plate 15, the wiring inserted into the connection port 2 can be clamped and fixed, so that the wiring inside the connection port 2 is always located at the center of the connection port 2, so that it can be stably connected to the connection end 10 inside the connection cover 7, avoiding loose wiring, so as to adapt to slight misalignment under different installation conditions, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the meter reading bus connector and the device.

[0028] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, a connecting wire 8 is fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting cover 7 , and the connecting wire 8 is connected to the connecting end 10 .

[0029] It should be noted that the connection terminals 10 can be connected by providing the connection line 8, so that data transmission can be performed.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, a magnetic attraction member 17 is fixedly mounted at one end of the baffle 4, and the two baffles 4 are magnetically connected via the magnetic attraction member 17 at one end.

[0034] It should be noted that, by providing the magnetic attraction member 17 , the two baffles 4 can be combined to better block the connection port 2 when the connection port 2 is not in use, thereby preventing dust from accumulating inside the connection port 2 .

[0035] The torsion spring in the present invention is a well-known component and will not be described in detail herein.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, insert the device wiring into the connection port 2 inside the shell 1. When inserted, the baffle 4 in the connection port 2 will be pushed to one side so that the baffle 4 is located inside the movable groove 5. When the baffle 4 moves to the inside of the movable groove 5, the card plate 12 can be pushed to one side. At this time, the card plate 12 will be disengaged from the card slot 13, and the wiring will be inserted into the connection cover 7 and connected to the connection end 10. The second spring 9 can make the connection cover 7 movable inside the connection port 2, and can support the connection cover 7 so that the connection cover 7 is always located at the center of the connection port 2. The third spring 14 and the clamp 15 can clamp and fix the wiring inserted into the connection port 2, so that the wiring inside the connection port 2 is always located at the center of the connection port 2, so that it can be stably connected to the connection end 10 inside the connection cover 7 to prevent the wiring from loosening.
