[0034] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an integrated connector of the utility model comprises an insulating bracket 1, wherein a plurality of slots 2 are integrally formed in the middle of the insulating bracket 1, and conductive copper bars 3 are inserted and installed in the plurality of slots 2;

[0035] The insulating bracket 1 is provided with self-locking edges 4 on both sides thereof, and a U-shaped slot 5 is provided on the self-locking edge 4, and the outer side wall of the U-shaped slot 5 constitutes a pressing edge 6;

[0036] The self-locking edge 4 is formed with a plug-in groove 7, which is arranged vertically to the U-shaped slot 5, and a snap-fitting member 8 is installed in the plug-in groove 7 with clearance fit, and the outer edge of the snap-fitting member 8 abuts against the outer wall of the U-shaped slot 5, and the inner edge of the snap-fitting member 8 abuts against the plug-in groove 7;

[0037] The end of the buckle 8 is formed with a buckle hook 9, and the buckle hook 9 extends out of the self-locking edge 4;

[0038] The principle is: the insulating bracket 1 is integrated, and the snap fastener 8 is inserted into the plug-in slot 7 during assembly. The snap fastener 8 can hook the connector socket through the snap fastener hook 9 for self-locking positioning. When disassembly is required, the pressing edges 6 on both sides are pressed simultaneously to allow the U-shaped slot 5 to deform inward, thereby pressing down the snap fastener 8 and allowing the snap fastener hook 9 to retract inward, thereby achieving unhooking. It is convenient and quick, and has fewer components, which is convenient for production and processing, and is also convenient for assembly and use.

[0039] Furthermore: the latch 8 includes an outer buckle 81 and an elastic member 82, the latch barb 9 is integrally formed and arranged at the end of the outer buckle 81, and the end of the elastic member 82 is integrally formed and arranged at the other end of the outer buckle 81, the elastic member 82 is shorter than the outer buckle 81, and the other end of the elastic member 82 is inclined outward and abuts against the plug-in slot 7; the latch 8 can always elastically abut between the outer side wall of the U-shaped slot 5 and the plug-in slot 7 through the elastic member 82, thereby realizing the self-locking position of the latch barb 9 in the connector socket, and at the same time, the setting of the elastic member 82 allows the pressing edge 6 to automatically reset after being pressed, which is convenient for actual use.

[0040] Furthermore: a straight surface 10 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the outer buckle 81, and a semicircular edge 11 is integrally formed on the straight surface 10, and the semicircular edge 11 abuts against the outer wall of the U-shaped groove 5; the setting of the straight surface 10 and the semicircular edge 11 allows a certain gap to be maintained between the outer buckle 81 and the U-shaped groove 5, and when pressing the pressing edges 6 on both sides, the friction generated by the mixed pressing of the outer buckle 6 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the connector.

[0041] Furthermore: the middle part of the elastic member 82 is spaced apart from the outer buckle 81, and the end of the elastic member 82 inclined outward is spaced apart from the outer buckle 81; since the elastic part of the elastic member 82 will not contact the outer buckle 81, the elastic force of the elastic member 82 can be guaranteed, making the elastic reset of the buckle 8 more sensitive.

[0042] Furthermore: the plug-in slot 7 includes a fastener slot 71 and a receiving slot 72, the fastener slot 71 and the receiving slot 72 are connected to each other, the outer buckle 81 is installed in the fastener slot 71 with a clearance fit, the outer side of the fastener slot 71 is vertically connected to the U-shaped slot 5, the elastic member 82 is installed in the receiving slot 72 with a clearance fit, and the end of the elastic member 82 abuts against the receiving slot 72; it can accommodate the outer buckle 81 and the elastic member 82 respectively, so that the installation of the fastener 8 is more stable.

[0043] Furthermore: the end of the plug-in slot 7 extends out from the self-locking edge 4, a first snap-in hole 12 is formed on the self-locking edge 4, a second snap-in hole 13 is formed on the fastener 8, and a limiting strip 14 is installed between the first snap-in hole 12 and the second snap-in hole 13; after the fastener 8 is inserted into the plug-in slot 7, the limiting strip 14 can be inserted into the first snap-in hole 12 and the second snap-in hole 13, so as to realize the rapid installation and positioning of the fastener 8 and facilitate assembly and production.

[0044] Furthermore: the first clamping hole 12 and the second clamping hole 13 are both bar-shaped holes, and the two side walls of the second clamping hole 13 are formed with inwardly curved arc surfaces 15, and the limiting strip 14 is inserted into the first clamping hole 12 and the second clamping hole 13, and the fastener 8 is flipped inward and outward with the limiting strip 14 as the axis through the arc surfaces 15 on both sides of the second clamping hole 13; after the limiting strip 14 is installed, the fastener 8 can be rotated a certain angle along the limiting strip 14 through the arc surface 15, and thus will not affect the pressing operation of the fastener 8.

[0045] Furthermore: a shielding cover 16 is embedded and installed on the bottom side of the insulating bracket 1, which can reduce electromagnetic interference and make the connector more stable when connected and used.

[0046] This embodiment does not impose any formal restrictions on the shape, material, structure, etc. of the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the utility model are within the protection scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
