[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] This application provides a connector, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the connector provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The exploded view of the connector is shown. The connector includes a socket 10, a plug 30 and a PCB terminal 50. The product has a mounting panel 20. The socket 10 is mounted on the mounting panel 20 of the product. The plug 30 is plugged into the socket 10 and electrically connected to the PCB terminal 50, thereby realizing signal transmission. The PCB terminal can be plugged into the end of the socket 10 away from the plug 30, and the plug 30 is plugged into the PCB terminal 50.

[0035] The socket 10 may include a housing 11, a skirt 13, and a protruding piece 15. The skirt 13 and the protruding piece 15 are arranged along the axial direction of the connector. For ease of description, the axial direction of the connector is defined as a first direction. A receiving cavity 16 and a first opening 17 and a second opening 18 communicating with the receiving cavity 16 are provided in the housing 11. The first opening 17 and the second opening 18 are located at opposite ends of the housing 11. The PCB terminal 50 can be installed in the receiving cavity 16 from the second opening 18 opened at one end of the housing 11. The plug 30 can be installed in the receiving cavity 16 from the first opening 17 opened at the other opposite end of the housing 11. The plug 30 can be plugged and connected with the PCB terminal 50 in the receiving cavity 16. In some embodiments, the plug 30 can be pulled out of the receiving cavity 16 along the direction from the receiving cavity to the first opening 17.

[0036] The outer periphery of the shell 11 is connected with a skirt plate 13 and a protrusion 15. The skirt plate 13 is arranged near the first opening 17, and the protrusion 15 is arranged near the second opening 18. The skirt plate 13 and the protrusion 15 are arranged at intervals, so that the installation panel 20 is located between the skirt plate 13 and the protrusion 15. Through the cooperation of the skirt plate 13, the installation panel 20 and the protrusion 15, the effect of fixing the shell 11 to the installation panel 20 is achieved.

[0037] The skirt plate 13 is disposed on the outer circumference of the shell 11 away from the receiving cavity 16 . In some embodiments, the skirt plate 13 may be arranged around the outer circumference of the shell 11 .

[0038] Please combine Figure 2 The protruding member 15 is elastically connected to the housing 11 and is spaced apart from the skirt board 13. The protruding member 15 can move relative to the housing 11. Thus, when the protruding member 15 is subjected to pressure in different directions, it can move relative to the housing 11 in different directions. The first end of the protruding member 15 can be connected to an end of the housing 11 close to the second opening 18, and the second end of the protruding member 15 can extend in a direction toward the skirt board 13. The end surface of the second end of the protruding member 15 opposite to the skirt board 13 is used to abut against one side of the mounting panel 20, and the end surface of the skirt board 13 opposite to the second end of the protruding member 15 is used to abut against the other side opposite to the mounting panel 20. In order to increase the contact area between the second end of the protruding member 15 and the mounting panel 20 and better support the mounting panel 20, the second end of the protruding member 15 protrudes toward the side away from the accommodating cavity 16, thereby increasing the area of ​​the end surface of the second end of the protruding member 15 opposite to the skirt board 13.

[0039] In some embodiments, the protrusion 15 may be provided with a guiding slope 151, and along the first direction, the guiding slope 151 extends in a direction close to the housing 11 and away from the skirt 13. The guiding slope 151, on the one hand, increases the supporting strength of the protrusion, making the protrusion stronger and able to withstand a larger supporting force without breaking and failing; on the other hand, when the housing 11 is inserted into the mounting panel 20, the guiding slope 151 can guide, so that the housing 11 and the mounting panel 20 can be quickly assembled to a suitable position.

[0040] Please combine Figure 2 During installation, one end of the shell 11 close to the second opening 18 is passed through the installation panel 20, and the installation panel 20 can be limited between the protruding member 15 and the skirt 13. In some embodiments, the installation panel 20 is provided with a first installation hole 201, and the shell 11 is passed through the first installation hole 201. When the shell 11 passes through the first installation hole 201 of the installation panel 20, the hole wall of the first installation hole 201 will press against the protruding member 15. After the protruding member 15 is subjected to force, it will move relative to the shell 11, specifically, it will move toward the receiving cavity 16, that is, it will move relative to the shell in a direction close to the receiving cavity 16, so that the protruding member 15 can be completely or at least partially located in the receiving cavity 16 or protrude less relative to the shell 11, so that the protruding member 15 can pass through the through hole of the installation panel 20. When the protruding member 15 is able to pass through the through hole of the mounting panel 20, the protruding member 15 is no longer squeezed by the mounting panel 20, and thus no longer undergoes elastic deformation, but returns to its initial state, that is, moves relative to the housing in a direction away from the receiving cavity 16. At this time, the mounting panel 20 is located between the protruding member 15 and the skirt board 13, and the housing is limited to the mounting panel 20 by the protruding member 15 and the skirt board 13, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the housing 11 to the mounting panel 20.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the housing 11 may be provided with a movable hole 110, the first end of the protruding member 15 is elastically connected to the hole wall of the movable hole 110, and the second end of the protruding member 15 is expanded and protruded toward the side away from the receiving cavity 16. Thus, when the guiding inclined surface 151 of the protruding member 15 is squeezed by the side wall of the first mounting hole 201, it can elastically move toward the receiving cavity 16.

[0042] In some specific implementations, please combine Figure 4The housing 11 may include four side walls, and the four side walls include a first side wall 111, a second side wall 113, a third side wall 115, and a fourth side wall 117 that are connected in sequence, wherein the first side wall 111, the second side wall 113, the third side wall 115, and the fourth side wall 117 are bent and connected in sequence; the first side wall 111 and the third side wall 115 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second side wall 113 and the fourth side wall 117 are arranged opposite to each other, and each side wall is independently provided with at least one protrusion 15. In these specific embodiments, the protrusion 15 is used to support the installation panel 20 and to install and fix the housing 11. In this way, by providing protrusions on the four side walls, the installation stability of the housing 11 is improved, and at the same time, a better supporting effect is also achieved for the installation panel 20.

[0043] Furthermore, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present application, the plug 30 of the connector can be at least partially installed in the receiving cavity 16 and abut against the side of the protrusion 15 facing the receiving cavity 16 to limit the movement of the protrusion 15 toward the receiving cavity 16.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, after the housing 11 and the mounting panel 20 are assembled, the plug 30 of the connector is at least partially installed in the receiving cavity 16. In this way, the plug 30 inserted in the receiving cavity 16 can be partially supported on the side of the protruding member 15 facing the receiving cavity 16, and the plug 30 can support the protruding member 15 in the receiving cavity 16. Even if the outer side of the protruding member 15 (i.e., the side of the protruding member 15 away from the receiving cavity 16 or the side of the protruding member 15 away from the housing 11) is subjected to pressure toward the receiving cavity 16, the protruding member 15 will not move toward the receiving cavity 16 under the support of the plug 30. In this way, the protruding member 15 can always support the mounting panel 20, so that the protruding member 15 and the skirt 13 can always be located on the opposite sides of the mounting panel 20, thereby better realizing the stable connection between the housing 11 and the mounting panel 20. During disassembly and assembly, the plug 30 is pulled out from the receiving cavity 16 along the first opening 17. Since the plug 30 does not support the protrusion 15 in the receiving cavity 16, the protrusion 15 is subjected to pressure toward the receiving cavity 16 and can move toward one side of the receiving cavity 16, thereby facilitating the separation of the shell 11 from the installation panel 20.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the housing 11 is provided in the installation panel 20 along the first direction; thus, the end where the protrusion 15 is located is first provided in the installation panel 20, and under the pressure of the installation panel 20, it is elastically deformed toward the receiving cavity 16, so that it can pass through the installation panel 20 and be located on the two sides opposite to the installation panel 20 with the skirt 13. After the protrusion 15 passes through the installation panel 20, the protrusion 15 returns to a normal state, and at this time, the protrusion 15 and the skirt 13 limit the installation panel 20. Then, the plug 30 is installed in the receiving cavity 16, and the housing includes an end portion located on the side of the skirt 13 away from the protrusion 15, and the end portion is provided with a first opening 17 connected to the receiving cavity 16, and the first opening 17 is used for inserting the plug 30. Therefore, during installation, the plug 30 can be directly inserted into the receiving cavity 16 from the first opening 17. After the plug 30 is installed in the receiving cavity 16, the outer surface of the plug 30 abuts against the side of the protrusion 15 located in the receiving cavity 16. This prevents the protrusion 15 from elastically deforming into the receiving cavity 16, thereby preventing the protrusion from elastically deforming into the receiving cavity 16 and causing failure and movement of the mounting panel 20. This allows the protrusion to always secure the mounting panel and is not prone to elastic deformation or loosening even when subjected to impact or vibration. When the protrusion deforms outward, it can just increase the locking area, making the fixing effect more reliable.

[0046] The housing 11 includes a plurality of first corner portions extending along the axial direction of the connector.

[0047] Please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, at least part of the first corner portion is provided with a first inclined surface 112 at one end away from the receiving cavity. The first inclined surface 112 extends along the plugging direction of the socket 10 and the plug 30 (the first direction or the axial direction of the connector). The mounting panel 20 is provided with a first mounting hole 201 for the shell 11 to pass through. The hole wall of the first mounting hole 201 is formed with a second inclined surface that matches the first inclined surface 112. In these embodiments, the mounting panel 20 and the shell 11 are provided with a first inclined surface 112 and a second inclined surface that match each other. When assembling the mounting panel 20 and the shell 11, the shell 11 of the socket is inserted into the mounting panel. The first inclined surface 112 on the shell 11 can match with the second inclined surface of the mounting panel 20, thereby guiding the installation of the shell 11 and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0048] In some embodiments, a first inclined surface 112 is provided at one end of a portion of the first corner away from the receiving cavity, and the first inclined surface 112 extends along the plugging direction of the socket 10 and the plug 30 (the first direction or the axial direction of the connector), and the mounting panel 20 is provided with a first mounting hole 201 for the shell 11 to pass through, and the hole wall of the first mounting hole 201 is formed with a second inclined surface that matches the first inclined surface 112. In these embodiments, on the one hand, the mounting panel 20 and the shell 11 are provided with a first inclined surface 112 and a second inclined surface that match each other. When the mounting panel 20 and the shell 11 are assembled, the shell 11 of the socket is inserted into the mounting panel, and the first inclined surface 112 on the shell 11 can match with the second inclined surface of the mounting panel 20, thereby guiding the installation of the shell 11 and improving the assembly efficiency. Since the first inclined surface 112 extends along the axial direction of the connector, it is easy to understand that the second inclined surface that matches the first inclined surface also extends along the axial direction of the connector. On the other hand, since only the first corner portion facing away from the receiving cavity has the first inclined surface 112, it can prevent mistakes when assembling the mounting panel 20 and the housing 11. In addition, it can save materials and reduce mold costs and product costs.

[0049] Please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, among the first side wall 111, the second side wall 113, the third side wall 115 and the fourth side wall 117 of the shell 11, a first folded corner 1012 is formed at the connection between the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 113; a second folded corner 114 is formed at the connection between the second side wall 113 and the third side wall 115; a third folded corner 116 is formed at the connection between the third side wall 115 and the fourth side wall 117; a fourth folded corner 118 is formed at the connection between the first side wall 111 and the fourth side wall 117; the first folded corner, the second folded corner, the third folded corner and the fourth folded corner are the multiple first corners of the shell 11.

[0050] The structures of the first folded corner are different from those of the second folded corner 114, the third folded corner 116, and the fourth folded corner 118. In these embodiments, the connection of the four side walls of the housing 11 forms four folded corners, and the structure of one of the four folded corners, such as the angle, radius, etc., is made different from the structures of the other three, and the hole wall of the first mounting hole 201 is processed into a structure that matches the first folded corner, so that it can be matched and foolproof. For example, a first inclined surface 112 can be provided on the first folded corner 1012, so that the structures of the first folded corner 1012, the second folded corner 114, the third folded corner 116, and the fourth folded corner 118 are different.

[0051] Please combine Figure 5 The plug 30 includes a plug body and a plurality of second corner portions connected to the plug body.

[0052] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second corner portion is provided at one end away from the plug body with a third bevel 304, and the third bevel 304 is adapted to the first bevel 112. Since the first bevel 112 extends along the axial direction of the connector, it is easy to understand that the third bevel that matches the first bevel also extends along the axial direction of the connector. In these embodiments, the plug 30 and the housing 11 are provided with the third bevel 304 and the first bevel 112 that match each other. During installation, the first bevel 112 on the housing 11 can match the third bevel 304 of the plug 30, thereby guiding the installation of the plug 30.

[0053] In some embodiments, a third bevel 304 is provided at one end of a portion of the second corner away from the plug body, and the third bevel 304 is matched with the first bevel 112. Since the first bevel 112 extends along the axial direction of the connector, it is easy to understand that the third bevel matched with the first bevel also extends along the axial direction of the connector. In these embodiments, on the one hand, the plug 30 and the housing 11 are provided with a third bevel 304 and a first bevel 112 that match each other. When installed, the first bevel 112 on the housing 11 can match the third bevel 304 of the plug 30, thereby guiding the installation of the plug 30. On the other hand, since only one end of a portion of the first corner away from the plug body is provided with the first bevel 112, and only one end of a portion of the second corner away from the plug body is provided with the third bevel 304, the third bevel 304 is matched with the first bevel 112, so that when assembling the mounting panel 20 and the housing 11, it can play a foolproof role.

[0054] Please combine Figure 3 In some embodiments, the connector further includes a sealing member 19. A sealing groove 131 is provided on the side of the skirt plate 13 facing the protruding member. The sealing member 19 is installed in the sealing groove 131 and is sandwiched between the skirt plate 13 and the mounting panel 20. In order to prevent water vapor from entering the connector, the sealing member 19 is provided between the mounting panel 20 and the skirt plate 13, thereby improving the service life of the connector.

[0055] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The skirt plate 13 includes a base plate 132, a first annular wall 133 and a second annular wall 135. The base plate 132 is sleeved on the shell 11. The first annular wall 133 and the second annular wall 135 are both arranged on the side of the base plate 132 facing the mounting panel 20. The first annular wall 133 is arranged around the shell 11. The second annular wall 135 is arranged around the first annular wall 133 and is spaced apart from the first annular wall 133. The first annular wall 133, the second annular wall 135 and the base plate 132 form a sealing groove 131.

[0056] The sealing member 19 can be a sealing ring, which can be made of a soft rubber material such as rubber, silicone, or a polymer material with elasticity. The sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove 131, so that the sealing ring can be arranged around the housing. On the other hand, the sealing groove 131 can limit and fix the sealing ring, effectively preventing the sealing ring from shifting, and having a better sealing effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first annular wall 133 is symmetrical along the axis of the connector, and the second annular wall 135 is symmetrical along the axis of the connector, so as to facilitate the assembly of the seal 19 into the sealing groove 131. The seal 19 is an axisymmetric structure, specifically, it can be symmetrical along the axis of the connector. Even if the seal is rotated 180 degrees, it can still be assembled into the sealing groove 131, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reducing the mold cost of the seal, the cost of the seal and the assembly cost of the connector.

[0058] Specifically, please combine Figure 4 The first annular wall 133 may be formed with four folded corners, and the four folded corners of the first annular wall 133 are symmetrical along the axial direction of the connector. Further, the second annular wall 135 may be formed with four folded corners, and the four folded corners of the second annular wall 135 are symmetrical along the axial direction of the connector.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, during installation, the housing 11 is passed through the installation panel 20 along the first direction; the plug 30 is inserted into the receiving cavity 16 from the first opening 17 to achieve the installation of the plug 30 and the socket, and the socket is not easy to get loose from the installation panel 20. The side abutment protrusion of the plug 30 is used, which is safe and reliable. Compared with the method of using parts plug-in locks in the related art, the structure of the socket housing is simplified, the mold cost, product finished product, and assembly cost are reduced, and the risk of missing the plug-in lock or vibrating and falling off is avoided. The installation efficiency is higher and the connection is more secure.
