Connector

Abstract

The utility model relates to a connector which comprises a shell, a snap fastener, a positioning piece and an elastic piece. The main buckle body is movably connected to the shell, and the main buckle body is provided with a buckling position and an unbuckling position relative to the shell. The force applying body is arranged in a sliding mode relative to the main buckle body in the preset sliding direction, and the force applying body is provided with an unlocking position and a locking position relative to the main buckle body. And at the unlocking position, the force applying body can smoothly move towards the interior of the shell and push the main buckle body to the unlocking position. At the locking position, the movement of the force applying body towards the interior of the shell is limited by the shell. Under the condition that the connector is in butt joint with another connector and the force application body slides to the locking position, when the force application body is pressed from the outside, the movement of the force application body towards the interior of the shell is limited by the shell, and therefore the force application body cannot push the main buckle body to the unlocking position. Meanwhile, due to the limitation of the force applying body, the main buckle body cannot automatically move towards the interior of the shell, so that the phenomenon that the two connectors are loosened due to the fact that the snap fastener is accidentally collided by the outside is avoided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electrical connection, and particularly to a connector. Background Art

[0002] A connector is a device used to achieve electrical docking between different devices. The application of connectors can improve the efficiency of electrical docking operations between different devices, and currently, it has been widely used in fields such as automobiles, communications, consumer electronics, data processing, and industrial machinery.

[0003] Some connectors include a housing and a snap button connected to the housing. When docking with another connector, after the snap button moves in a predetermined direction, it plays a role in locking the other connector, thereby preventing the two connectors from becoming loose during the electrical transmission process.

[0004] However, during the docking process of the two connectors, they may be affected by external collisions or may fall to the ground. When the snap button is severely impacted, the snap button may move, and then the locking function of the snap button on the other connector fails, resulting in the two connectors becoming loose and affecting the electrical transmission between the two connectors. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Based on this, the present utility model provides a connector that can solve or at least mitigate the above technical problems.

[0006] The present utility model provides a connector, comprising:

[0007] A housing;

[0008] A snap button, including a main button body and a force - applying body; the main button body is movably connected to the housing; the main button body has a fastening position and an unlocking position relative to the housing; the force - applying body is slidably arranged relative to the main button body along a predetermined sliding direction; the force - applying body has an unlocking position and a locking position relative to the main button body; in the unlocking position, the force - applying body can smoothly move into the housing and push the main button body to the unlocking position; in the locking position, the movement of the force - applying body into the housing is restricted by the housing;

[0009] A positioning piece, which is positioned relative to the main button body along the predetermined sliding direction and abuts against the force - applying body; one of the positioning piece and the force - applying body is provided with a convex portion, and the other is provided with at least two concave positions distributed along the predetermined sliding direction; the concave positions can accommodate all or part of the convex portion; and

[0010] An elastic member, connected to the housing and generating an elastic force that can make the main button body move from the fastening position to the unlocking position.

[0011] The above-mentioned connector, when the connector of the present application is connected to another connector, by the main buckle body being in a buckled position relative to the housing, the main buckle body can produce a locking effect on the other connector, thereby locking the relative position between the two connectors. The contact terminals in the two connectors form a conductive contact. When the force-applying body slides to an unlocked position relative to the main buckle body, the force-applying body can push the main buckle body from the buckled position to the unfastened position by pressing the force-applying body from the outside. When the main buckle body is in the unfastened position, the locking effect of the main buckle body on the other connector is eliminated, and the two connectors can be freely separated.

[0012] When the connector of the present application is connected to another connector and the force-applying body slides to the locking position, when the force-applying body is pressed from the outside, the movement of the force-applying body toward the shell is restricted by the shell, so the force-applying body cannot push the main buckle body to the unlocking position. At the same time, restricted by the force-applying body, the main buckle body cannot move toward the shell by itself, thereby preventing the two connectors from being loosened due to accidental collision of the snap button by the outside.

[0013] Since at least two concave positions are distributed along a predetermined sliding direction, when the force-applying body is in the unlocked position, the protrusion can be accommodated in one of the concave positions, and when the force-applying body is in the locked position, the protrusion can be accommodated in the other concave position. Since the positioning sheet abuts against the force-applying body, when the force-applying body slides from the unlocked position to the locked position or from the locked position to the unlocked position, the force-applying body needs to overcome the resistance between the protrusion and the inner wall surface of the concave position. Therefore, the force-applying body can be stabilized in the unlocked position or the locked position, avoiding the force-applying body from sliding from the locked position to the unlocked position by itself, and preventing the force-applying body from accidentally failing in its limiting effect on the main buckle body.

[0014] In one embodiment, one end of the elastic member abuts against the housing, and the other end abuts against a side of the positioning sheet facing away from the force-applying body.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the main buckle body is rotatably connected to the shell; the main buckle body is provided with a through slot; and the elastic member is passed through the through slot.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, the main buckle body is provided with a receiving groove; the positioning piece is accommodated in the receiving groove.

[0017] In one embodiment, the positioning piece includes a movable section and a fixed section connected to the movable section; the movable section is provided with a protrusion or a recess; the fixed section is limited by the main buckle body along the predetermined sliding direction; the movable section and the main buckle body are spaced apart.

[0018] In one of the embodiments, a turning deformation is formed at the transition point between the movable section and the fixed section, and the movable section is arranged away from the main buckle body relative to the fixed section; the main buckle body is provided with a boss portion; the boss portion abuts against one end of the movable section adjacent to the transition point.

[0019] In one of the embodiments, one end of the fixed section away from the movable section is folded along the direction close to the movable section; one end of the fixed section away from the movable section is tilted relative to the movable section; the force-applying body is provided with a limiting groove; the limiting groove is recessed relative to the inner surface of the force-applying body; and one end of the fixed section away from the movable section is accommodated in the limiting groove.

[0020] In one of the embodiments, the force-applying body includes a panel portion and two side panel portions connected to the panel portion; the panel portion is provided with a recessed position on a side facing the main buckle body; the two side panel portions are arranged at intervals; the main buckle body is at least partially arranged between the two side panel portions; at least one of the side panel portions is connected to a resistance portion; the resistance portion extends toward the inside of the outer shell relative to the side panel portion; the outer shell is formed with a protrusion; when the force-applying body is in the locked position, the protrusion is arranged opposite to the resistance portion.

[0021] In one of the embodiments, when the force-applying body is in the locking position, the inner surface of a portion of the panel portion is arranged opposite to a partial outer surface of the outer shell, and the relative distance between the inner surface and the partial outer surface is smaller than the range of motion of one end of the main buckle body between the buckled position and the unlocked position.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, one of the side plate portion and the main buckle body is connected with a strip portion, and the other is provided with a slide groove extending along the predetermined sliding direction; the strip portion is accommodated in the slide groove.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] The following introduces the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Combined Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present application provides a connector 100. In some embodiments, the connector 100 is a device for realizing electrical docking between different devices. In other embodiments, the connector 100 is used in the same device to realize electrical docking between different electrical modules. In some embodiments, the connector 100 can be fixed on a device, a panel, or a circuit board. In other embodiments, the connector 100 is installed at one end of an electrical cable.

[0038] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector 100 includes: a housing 20, a snap 30, a positioning piece 40, and an elastic member 50. The snap 30 includes a main snap body 31 and a force-applying body 32. The main snap body 31 is movably connected to the housing 20, and the main snap body 31 has a fastening position and an unlocking position relative to the housing 20. The force-applying body 32 is slidably arranged relative to the main snap body 31 along a predetermined sliding direction F1, and the force-applying body 32 has an unlocking position and a locking position relative to the main snap body 31. In the unlocking position, the force-applying body 32 can smoothly move into the housing 20 and push the main snap body 31 to the unlocking position. In the locking position, the movement of the force-applying body 32 into the housing 20 is restricted by the housing 20. The positioning piece 40 is positioned relative to the main snap body 31 along the predetermined sliding direction F1 and abuts against the force-applying body 32. One of the positioning piece 40 and the force-applying body 32 is provided with a convex portion 41, and the other is provided with at least two concave positions 321 distributed along the predetermined sliding direction F1. The concave positions 321 can accommodate all or part of the convex portion 41. The elastic member 50 is connected to the housing 20 and generates an elastic force that can make the main snap body 31 move from the unlocking position to the fastening position.

[0039] Specifically, when the connector 100 of the present application is connected to another connector 100, the main buckle body 31 is in a buckled position relative to the housing 20, and the main buckle body 31 can produce a locking effect on the other connector 100, locking the relative position between the two connectors 100. The contact terminals in the two connectors 100 form a conductive contact. When the force-applying body 32 slides to the unlocking position relative to the main buckle body 31, the force-applying body 32 can push the main buckle body 31 from the buckled position to the unlocking position by pressing the force-applying body 32 from the outside. When the main buckle body 31 is in the unlocking position, the locking effect of the main buckle body 31 on the other connector 100 is eliminated, and the two connectors 100 can be freely separated.

[0040] When the connector 100 of the present application is connected to another connector 100 and the force-applying body 32 slides to the locked position, when the force-applying body 32 is pressed from the outside, the movement of the force-applying body 32 into the housing 20 is restricted by the housing 20, so that the force-applying body 32 cannot push the main buckle body 31 to the unlocking position. At the same time, restricted by the force-applying body 32, the main buckle body 31 cannot move into the housing 20 by itself, thereby preventing the two connectors 100 from being loosened due to the accidental collision of the snap 30 by the outside.

[0041] Since at least two recesses 321 are distributed along the predetermined sliding direction F1, when the force-applying body 32 is in the unlocked position, the protrusion 41 can be accommodated in one of the recesses 321, and when the force-applying body 32 is in the locked position, the protrusion 41 can be accommodated in the other recess 321. Since the positioning piece 40 abuts against the force-applying body 32, when the force-applying body 32 slides from the unlocked position to the locked position or from the locked position to the unlocked position, the force-applying body 32 needs to overcome the resistance between the protrusion 41 and the inner wall surface of the recess 321. Therefore, the force-applying body 32 can be stabilized in the unlocked position or the locked position, avoiding the force-applying body 32 from sliding from the locked position to the unlocked position by itself, and preventing the force-applying body 32 from accidentally failing in its limiting effect on the main buckle body 31.

[0042] Specifically, the movement of the force-applying body 32 toward the inside of the housing 20 is restricted by the housing 20 , which can also be understood as the force-applying body 32 being restricted by other components fixedly connected to the housing 20 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the connector 100 further includes a contact terminal and an insulator housed in the housing 20. The contact terminal is conductive and is used to transmit electrical energy or signals. The contact terminal is in a straight strip shape. The insulator covers the periphery of the contact terminal to form electrical isolation between the contact terminal and the housing 20.

[0044] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 6As shown, the main buckle body 31 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 20. The main buckle body 31 is provided with a through groove 311. The elastic member 50 is inserted through the through groove 311. Specifically, the main buckle body 31 rotates relative to the outer shell 20, so as to switch between the buckling position and the unlocking position. By restricting the rotation angle range of the main buckle body 31 relative to the outer shell 20 and the inner diameter of the through groove 311, the elastic member 50 can be prevented from bending due to the abutment against the edge of the through groove 311. The through groove 311 can also limit one end of the elastic member 50, and the elastic member 50 is in a stable installation position. In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the through groove 311 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the elastic member 50. In some embodiments, one end of the main buckle body 31 is provided with a buckle groove 312, and the buckle groove 312 is used for forming a snap-fit with another connecting body. In some other embodiments, a hook structure is formed at one end of the main buckle body 31.

[0045] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the main buckle body 31 is provided with a receiving groove 313. The positioning piece 40 is received in the receiving groove 313. Specifically, the outer surface of the main buckle body 31 faces the force applying body 32. The receiving groove 313 is recessed relative to the outer surface of the main buckle body 31. Since the positioning piece 40 is received in the receiving groove 313, the outer surface of the main buckle body 31 can be attached to the force applying body 32, reducing the gap between the main buckle body 31 and the force applying body 32. It is avoided that foreign objects enter between the main buckle body 31 and the force applying body 32, which affects the relative sliding between the force applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31.

[0046] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the force applying body 32 includes a panel portion 323 and two side plate portions 324 connected to the panel portion 323. A concave portion 321 is provided on the side of the panel portion 323 facing the main buckle body 31. The two side plate portions 324 are spaced apart. At least a part of the main buckle body 31 is disposed between the two side plate portions 324. Specifically, a sliding fit is formed between the side plate portion 324 and the main buckle body 31. By forming a sliding fit between the two side plate portions 324 on both sides and the main buckle body 31 respectively, the stability of the sliding fit between the force applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31 can be improved. Specifically, when it is necessary to release the docking between the two connectors 100, a pressure can be applied to the side of the panel portion 323 facing away from the main buckle body 31, so that the force applying body 32 pushes the main buckle body 31 to the unlocking position.

[0047] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, at least one side plate portion 324 is connected with an abutting portion 325. The abutting portion 325 extends towards the inside of the housing 20 relative to the side plate portion 324. Specifically, when the force - applying body 32 is in the locked position, the abutting portion 325 is used to form an abutting fit with the housing 20, thereby restricting the movement of the force - applying body 32 towards the inside of the housing 20. Since the side plate portion 324 has a greater extending width relative to the abutting portion 325, and the abutting portion 325 is closer to the inside of the housing 20 relative to the side plate portion 324, the abutting portion 325 is hidden inside the housing 20, and the outer edge of the housing 20 is opposite to the side plate portion 324, so that the gap size between the force - applying portion and the housing 20 can be reduced, and the chance of foreign objects entering the inside of the connector 100 is lowered. In some embodiments, the side plate portions 324 are respectively connected with the abutting portions 325.

[0048] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 20 is formed with a convex block 21. When the force - applying body 32 is in the locked position, the convex block 21 and the abutting portion 325 are arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, the convex block 21 protrudes relative to the surface of the housing 20 near it. When the force - applying body 32 is in the unlocked position, the abutting portion 325 and the convex block 21 are in a misaligned relationship, providing space for the abutting portion 325 to enter the housing 20, and at the same time the main buckle body 31 can move towards the unbuckling position. Specifically, the relative direction between the convex block 21 and the abutting portion 325 is substantially perpendicular to the predetermined sliding direction F1.

[0049] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the force - applying body 32 is in the locked position, a part of the inner surface 320 of the panel portion 323 is arranged opposite to a partial outer surface 201 of the housing 20. The relative distance between the inner surface 320 and the partial outer surface 201 is less than the movement range of one end of the main buckle body 31 between the buckling position and the unbuckling position, so that the movement of the force - applying body 32 towards the inside of the housing 20 can be restricted by the housing 20 against the inner surface 320 of a part of the panel portion 323, more reliably preventing the force - applying body 32 from pushing the main buckle body 31 to the unbuckling position.

[0050] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, one of the side plate portions 324 and the main buckle body 31 is connected with a strip portion 326, and the other is provided with a sliding groove 315 extending along a predetermined sliding direction F1. The strip portion 326 is received in the sliding groove 315. Specifically, the width of the strip portion 326 is slightly smaller than the width of the sliding groove 315. By receiving the strip portion 326 in the sliding groove 315, the relative sliding direction between the force-applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31 can be defined. In some embodiments, sliding grooves 315 are respectively formed on both sides of the main buckle body 31. The strip portion 326 is connected to the inner side of the side plate portion 324. In some embodiments, when the elastic member 50 abuts against the positioning piece 40, the force-applying body 32 abuts against the main buckle body 31 through the strip portion 326, causing the main buckle body 31 to deflect in the direction close to the unlocking position.

[0051] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 8 with Figure 9 as shown, a convex portion 41 is provided on the positioning piece 40, and a concave portion 321 is provided on the force-applying body 32. In some embodiments, the convex portion 41 is provided on the force-applying body 32, and the concave portion 321 is provided on the positioning piece 40. In some embodiments, the convex portion 41 is a solid block structure, or may be a convex pressing structure. In some embodiments, the concave portion 321 is a groove structure or a hole structure. In some embodiments, the relative direction between the convex portion 41 and the concave portion 321 is generally perpendicular to the predetermined sliding direction F1.

[0052] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 8 as shown, the convex portion 41 may be a dot-shaped convex structure. The convex portion 41 may also be a strip-shaped convex structure. In some embodiments, a single convex portion 41 may be received in the concave portion 321, or multiple convex portions 41 may be received in the same concave portion 321.

[0053] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 7 to 9 as shown, the positioning piece 40 includes a movable section 42 and a fixed section 43 connected to the movable section 42. The movable section 42 is provided with the convex portion 41 or the concave portion 321. The fixed section 43 is limited by the main buckle body 31 along the predetermined sliding direction F1. Specifically, the movable section 42 is used to abut against the force-applying body 32. Since the fixed section 43 is limited by the main buckle body 31 along the predetermined sliding direction F1, and the movable section 42 is connected to the fixed section 43, the movable section 42 can be in a stable position relative to the main buckle body 31 in the predetermined sliding direction F1, ensuring that the convex portion 41 needs to withdraw from the concave portion 321 when the main buckle body 31 slides. In some embodiments, a partial narrowing is provided for the fixed section 43, and the relative edges of the receiving groove 313 are correspondingly narrowed at corresponding positions, so as to limit the fixed section 43 in the predetermined sliding direction F1.

[0054] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 6 withFigure 7 As shown, the active section 42 is spaced apart from the main buckle body 31. Since the active section 42 is spaced apart from the main buckle body 31, the positioning piece 40 has a resilient space on the side facing away from the force - applying body 32, which is beneficial to controlling the contact force between the protruding portion 41 and the inner wall surface of the concave portion 321, preventing the protruding portion 41 from being worn flat due to excessive contact force, and preventing indentations from being generated around the concave portion 321, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the snap - fastener 30. In some embodiments, the depth of the receiving groove 313 is greater than the thickness of the active section 42, so that when the positioning piece 40 is received in the receiving groove 313, a space is formed between the active section 42 and the bottom surface of the receiving groove 313.

[0055] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the active section 42 includes a deformable segment 421 connected to the fixed segment 43 and a contact segment 422 connected to the deformable segment 421. The contact segment 422 is used to abut against the other end of the elastic member 50. The contact segment 422 is provided with a protruding portion 41 or a concave portion 321. The width of the contact segment 422 is greater than that of the deformable segment 421, so that a larger contact area is formed between the contact segment 422 and the end of the elastic member 50, improving the docking stability between the positioning piece 40 and the elastic member 50.

[0056] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a turning deformation is formed at the transition 44 between the active section 42 and the fixed segment 43, and the active section 42 is disposed farther away from the main buckle body 31 relative to the fixed segment 43. The main buckle body 31 is provided with a convex platform portion 314. The convex platform portion 314 abuts against one end of the active section 42 adjacent to the transition 44. Specifically, a part of the surface of the main buckle body 31 is disposed opposite to the active section 42. The convex platform portion 314 protrudes relative to this surface of the main buckle body 31. Since a turning deformation occurs between the active section 42 and the fixed segment 43, the active section 42 is farther away from the main buckle body 31 relative to the fixed segment 43. When the fixed segment 43 remains in contact with the main buckle body 31, the active section 42 can be stably spaced apart from the main buckle body 31 under the support of the convex platform portion 314. In some embodiments, the fixed segment 43 has a larger thickness dimension through folding. By abutting against the main buckle body 31 and the force - applying body 32 on both sides of the fixed segment 43 respectively, the fixed segment 43 can be kept in contact with the main buckle body 31.

[0057] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, one end 430 of the fixed section 43 away from the movable section 42 is folded in the direction close to the movable section 42. One end 430 of the fixed section 43 away from the movable section 42 is tilted relative to the movable section 42. The force-applying body 32 is provided with a limiting groove 322. The limiting groove 322 is recessed relative to the inner surface of the force-applying body 32. One end 430 of the fixed section 43 away from the movable section 42 is accommodated in the limiting groove 322. Specifically, during the assembly of the snap button 30, the docking direction of the force-applying body 32 relative to the main buckle body 31 corresponds to the direction from the fixed section 43 to the movable section 42. When the force-applying body 32 is slidably assembled onto the main buckle body 31, one end 430 of the fixed section 43 away from the movable section 42 is compressed and fits to other parts of the fixed section 43. When the force-applying body 32 slides to a position corresponding to the limiting groove 322 and the end 430 of the fixed section 43 away from the movable section 42, the end 430 of the fixed section 43 away from the movable section 42 is reset and bounced. The end of the fixed section 43 is in contact with the side wall of the limiting groove 322, so that the force-applying body 32 can be restricted from being separated from the main buckle body 31. Specifically, the inner surface of the force-applying body 32 can be understood as the surface of the force-applying body 32 facing the inside of the housing 20. In some embodiments, the end 430 of the fixed section 43 away from the movable section 42 also abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting groove 322, so that the other part of the fixed section 43 is closely attached to the bottom surface of the receiving groove 313.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the fixing section 43 may also adopt a straight single-layer structure, and be stably accommodated in the receiving groove 313 under the support of the force-applying body 32 .

[0059] In some embodiments, the positioning piece 40 is made of advanced metal or alloy material to ensure the service life of the positioning piece 40. The positioning piece 40 can also be made of non-metallic materials. In another embodiment, the positioning piece 40 can be integrally connected with the main buckle body 31 and made of the same material as the main buckle body 31.

[0060] In some embodiments, the elastic member 50 is a compression spring, an elastic rubber block or other device capable of generating elastic force.

[0061] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 6As shown, one end of the elastic member 50 abuts against the outer shell 20, and the other end abuts against the side of the positioning piece 40 facing away from the force - applying body 32. Specifically, since the relative direction between the two sides of the positioning piece 40 corresponds to the approximate relative direction between the force - applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31, when the other end of the elastic member 50 abuts against the side of the positioning piece 40 facing away from the force - applying body 32, the elastic force of the elastic member 50 can make the positioning piece 40 abut against the force - applying body 32 with a greater pressure, thereby increasing the thrust required to slide the force - applying body 32, which is beneficial to further improving the stability of the force - applying body 32 in the unlocking position or the locking position. In addition, the approximate relative direction between the buckling position and the unbuckling position corresponds to the approximate relative direction between the force - applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31. When the approximate relative direction between the force - applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31 is perpendicular to the predetermined sliding direction F1, along the approximate relative direction between the force - applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31, the relative position between the force - applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31 is limited, and the force - applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31 slide relative to each other along the predetermined sliding direction F1. The elastic force of the elastic member 50 is transmitted to the main buckle body 31 through the positioning piece 40 and the force - applying body 32, enabling the force - applying body 32 to drive the main buckle body 31 to move from the unbuckling position to the buckling position.

[0062] Specifically, the elastic member 50 simultaneously serves to reset the main buckle body 31 to the buckling position and strengthen the abutting force of the positioning piece 40, thus facilitating the simplification of the structure of the connector 100. In another embodiment, without considering the structural simplification, another elastic component can be provided to abut against the positioning piece 40.

[0063] Specifically, in combination with Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the approximate relative direction between the force - applying body 32 and the main buckle body 31 can be understood as the relative direction between the panel portion 323 and the main buckle body 31.

[0064] In some other embodiments, the other end of the elastic member 50 can also directly abut against the main buckle body 31, thereby directly transmitting the elastic force to the main buckle body 31. Specifically, the through - slot of the main buckle body 31 can be replaced with a semi - open structure, and this semi - open structure can accommodate the other end of the elastic member 50. In some embodiments, the positioning piece can be integrally connected to the main buckle body 31.

[0065] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer shell 20 includes a cylindrical portion 22 and a support portion 23 provided on the outer side of the cylindrical portion 22. The contact terminals and the insulator are accommodated in the cylindrical portion 22. Specifically, the main buckle body 31 and a part of the support portion 23 are locally accommodated in the space enclosed by the outer side of the cylindrical portion 22 and the support portion 23. Specifically, the cylindrical portion 22 and the support portion 23 are integrally provided.

[0066] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 6 As shown, one end of the elastic member 50 abuts against the outer side of the cylindrical portion 22. More specifically, a slot 221 is provided on the outer side of the cylindrical portion 22. One end of the elastic member 50 is received in the slot 221. More specifically, the internal space of the slot 221 is annular and corresponds to the shape of one end of the elastic member 50, so as to be able to define the position of one end of the elastic member 50. In some embodiments, the convex block 21 is provided on the outer side of the cylindrical portion 22 and is within the support portion 23.

[0067] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector 100 further includes a rotating shaft member 24. The rotating shaft member 24 passes through the main buckle body 31 and the support portion 23, so that the main buckle body 31 can rotate relative to the housing 20. Specifically, the main buckle body 31 rotates relative to the housing 20 around the rotating shaft member 24.

Without departing from the design spirit of the present application, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present application shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present application.
