Type-C was formulated by the USB Implementers Forum and became popular after it was supported by Apple, Google, Intel, Microsoft and other manufacturers in 2014. The Type-C connector is a hardware interface of the universal serial bus, with a slim shape, fast transmission speed of up to 10Gbps, and powerful power transmission of up to 100W. It supports double-sided insertion, and users do not have to worry about the front and back problems brought by traditional USB ports. The current Type-C connector is generally a structure in which a hook is embedded and fixed on the insulating body and located between two terminal groups. The lower ends of both sides of the hook are usually directly extended laterally. When the Type-C connector of this structure is welded to the circuit board, it can only be fixed by the cooperation between the terminal and the welding hole, which makes the Type-C connector and the circuit board easier to separate, affecting the quality of the product, bringing inconvenience to production, and it is easy to shake when used for a long time, and the stability of the structure cannot be guaranteed.
[0003] In the prior art, if there is no precise positioning mechanism during the assembly process of the terminal, the terminal may be installed in an incorrect position, which will affect the signal transmission quality and the overall performance of the connector. In addition, the terminal needs to be constantly corrected during the installation process, which affects the processing efficiency and is prone to unstable connection. Therefore, the prior art has defects and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a connector structure, including a connection body and a contact assembly, the connection body is connected to the contact assembly, and is used for a Type-C connector. The connection body is provided with a terminal assembly, a first mounting assembly, and a second mounting assembly, the terminal assembly is arranged between the first mounting assembly and the second mounting assembly, and the first mounting assembly and the second mounting assembly are respectively provided with a hook structure for engaging and connecting with the contact assembly. In this embodiment, the connection body 1 provides a stable structural foundation for installing and fixing the contact assembly 2. This design allows a reliable mechanical connection between the contact assembly 2 and the connection body 1. This connection method ensures the stability of the contact assembly 2 in the connector, reduces the displacement of the contact due to vibration or physical impact, and thus ensures the reliability of the connection. The terminal assembly 10 is located between the first mounting assembly 11 and the second mounting assembly 12, and this layout helps to ensure the correct position of the terminal in the connector. The correct position of the terminal assembly 10 is crucial to ensure the smooth transmission of data, power, and video signals. This design helps to prevent improper installation of the terminal and avoids signal interference or connection failure caused by incorrect terminal position. The hook structure 13 provides a quick and reliable way to secure the contact assembly 2. When the contact assembly 2 is inserted into the connector body 1, the hook structure 13 engages with the corresponding portion of the contact assembly 2, thereby securing the contact. This structure allows the user to quickly install the contact assembly 2 while ensuring that the contact is in the correct position. The secure connection of the hook structure 13 helps prevent the contact from accidentally falling off or shifting during use of the connector, thereby ensuring the stability and long-term reliability of the connection.
[0020] Specifically, by arranging the terminal assembly 10, the first mounting assembly 11 and the second mounting assembly 12 on the connecting body 1, and arranging the hook structure 13 on the first mounting assembly 11 and the second mounting assembly 12, it is possible to ensure that the terminal assembly 10 is accurately positioned when inserted into the contact assembly 2. This helps to prevent the terminal from being in an incorrect position during the installation process, thereby ensuring the transmission quality of the signal. Since the hook structure 13 of the contact assembly 2 is engaged with the corresponding part on the connecting body 1, this design allows the contact assembly 2 to be quickly installed, reducing the need for position correction of the terminal during the assembly process. This can significantly improve processing efficiency and reduce production time. The firm connection of the hook structure 13 helps prevent the contact from accidentally falling off or shifting during the use of the connector, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. This helps to avoid signal interference or connection failure caused by incorrect terminal position and improves the overall performance of the connector. By ensuring that the terminal is correctly installed and remains in the correct position during use, the connector structure helps to improve the long-term reliability of the product.
[0021] like Figure 2As shown, further, the first mounting component 11 is also provided with a first limiting component 3, and when the connecting body 1 is mounted on the contact assembly 2, the first limiting component 3 is fixed with the contact assembly 2. The second mounting component 12 is also provided with a second limiting component 4, and when the connecting body 1 is mounted on the contact assembly 2, the second limiting component 4 is fixed with the contact assembly 2. In this embodiment, the first limiting component 3 and the second limiting component 4 have the same principle and structure, and the first limiting component 3 is a structure on the connecting body 1, which is used to interact with the contact assembly 2 during the installation process to ensure that the contact assembly 2 is in the correct position. When the connecting body 1 is mounted on the contact assembly 2, the first limiting component 3 will contact the corresponding part of the contact assembly 2, thereby limiting the movement of the contact assembly 2 and ensuring that it is fixed in the correct position. The setting of the first limiting component 3 provides an additional safeguard to ensure the correct position of the contact assembly 2 during the assembly process. This helps to avoid assembly errors caused by incorrect position of the contact assembly 2, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the product. Limiting fixation is a mechanism for providing a fixed relationship between the connection body 1 and the contact assembly 2. Through limiting fixation, the position of the contact assembly 2 on the connection body 1 is precisely limited, thereby ensuring the consistency and accuracy of each assembly. Limiting fixation helps to improve assembly efficiency because it reduces the need for position correction of the contact assembly 2 during the assembly process. At the same time, it also helps to ensure the stability of the connection and reduce the need for failures and repairs caused by incorrect position of the contact assembly 2.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, further, a through slot 20 is provided on the contact assembly 2, and when the connection body 1 is installed on the contact assembly 2, the terminal assembly 10 passes through the through slot 20. In this embodiment, the through slot 20 is an opening on the contact assembly 2, which allows the terminal assembly 10 to pass through when the connection body 1 is installed on the contact assembly 2. In this way, the terminal assembly 10 can be connected to the terminal inside the contact assembly 2, thereby realizing the transmission of data and power. The provision of the through slot 20 enables the terminal assembly 10 to be accurately aligned with the terminal inside the contact assembly 2, ensuring the continuity and stability of signal and power transmission. At the same time, the design of the through slot 20 also helps to simplify the assembly process and improve production efficiency. When the connection body 1 is installed on the contact assembly 2, the terminal assembly 10 will pass through the through slot 20 and connect with the terminal inside the contact assembly 2. This design ensures the correct alignment between the terminal assembly 10 and the contact assembly 2, thereby ensuring the smooth transmission of signals and power. The design of the terminal assembly 10 passing through the through slot 20 improves the overall performance and reliability of the connector. It can reduce the risk of signal interference or connection failure due to inaccurate alignment between the terminal assembly 10 and the contact assembly 2.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, further, the number of the terminal assemblies 10 includes at least two groups.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the contact sheet assembly 2 includes a contact sheet 21 and a mounting shell 22, the contact sheet 21 is connected to the mounting shell 22, and the through slot 20 is arranged on the contact sheet 21. The contact sheet assembly 2 is composed of a contact sheet 21 and a mounting shell 22. The contact sheet 21 is a metal component that actually transmits data, power and video signals, while the mounting shell 22 is used to fix and protect the contact sheet 21, and there is a accommodating chamber in the mounting shell 22, so that components such as a circuit board are arranged in the mounting shell 22, ensuring the installation of the terminal and the normal electrical connection between the circuit board and the terminal. This design allows the contact sheet 21 to be stably placed inside the mounting shell 22. The design of combining the contact sheet 21 with the mounting shell 22 improves the overall stability and durability of the contact sheet assembly 2. The mounting shell 22 provides physical protection for the contact sheet 21, reducing the risk of damage caused by external physical shock or vibration. At the same time, this design also helps to simplify the assembly process and improve production efficiency.
[0025] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solutions, the utility model can ensure that the terminal assembly 10 is accurately positioned when inserted into the contact assembly 2 by arranging the terminal assembly 10, the first mounting assembly 11 and the second mounting assembly 12 on the connecting body 1, and arranging the hook structure 13 on the first mounting assembly 11 and the second mounting assembly 12. This helps to avoid the terminal being in an incorrect position during the installation process, thereby ensuring the transmission quality of the signal. Since the hook structure 13 of the contact assembly 2 is engaged with the corresponding part on the connecting body 1, this design allows the contact assembly 2 to be quickly installed, reducing the need for position correction of the terminal during the assembly process. This can significantly improve processing efficiency and reduce production time. The firm connection of the hook structure 13 helps prevent the contact from accidentally falling off or shifting during the use of the connector, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. This helps to avoid signal interference or connection failure caused by incorrect terminal position, and improves the overall performance of the connector.
