Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sockets, in particular to a floating socket device. Background Art
[0002] The floating connection socket in the prior art can only realize swimming in the horizontal plane of the plugging direction, and has no floating function in the plugging direction (i.e., longitudinal direction) of the connection socket. Therefore, the main function of this floating connector is to facilitate blind plugging and facilitate users to plug in. However, in actual use, the plugging looseness caused by the equipment or environment is usually in the plugging direction. The loosening in the plugging direction is usually caused by external vibration and the loosening of the internal plug-in parts. The reason for the loosening of the internal plug-in parts is often because the stress change between the plug and the socket due to long-term use produces slight deformation, making it impossible for the socket to be fixed with the plug, thereby causing poor contact. For example, the output socket of the clear camera is currently generally a fixed socket. The socket is welded to the PCB and then assembled to the camera housing. Due to manufacturing errors, there will be a phenomenon of socket misalignment. At this time, the matching of the plug and the socket will generate stress due to misalignment. Under the long-term action of stress, the PCB will be slightly deformed. This slight deformation will cause abnormal transmission of electrical signals for high-definition cameras, resulting in changes in the focal length position of the lens, and finally the problem of camera not working or blurred imaging. Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a floating socket device. Utility Model Content
