When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used herein in the description of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a connector socket is provided. Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 This connector socket includes a first elastic piece 10, an unlocking piece 20 and a body 30;

[0032] A jack 310 for inserting a plug (not shown in the figure) is provided on the body 30;

[0033] The first elastic piece 10 includes a fixed end 110, a suspended end 120 and a locking portion 130. The fixed end 110 is fixedly connected to the body 30. The suspended end 120 is connected to the fixed end 110 and is suspended above the body 30. The locking portion 130 is provided on the side of the suspended end 120 facing away from the body 30. The locking portion 130 is used for clamping with the plug.

[0034] The unlocking member 20 is elastic and one end is fixedly connected to the body 30 , and the other end of the unlocking member 20 is movably arranged relative to the body 30 . The unlocking member 20 is used to drive the suspended end 120 to deform / extrude the suspended end 120 to separate the locking portion 130 from the plug.

[0035] According to the connector socket in the above embodiment, since the suspended end 120 of the first spring piece 10 can swing relative to the fixed end 110, when the plug is inserted into the socket 310 in the socket, the locking portion 130 on the suspended end 120 first moves downward and then rebounds to achieve locking with the plug. At this time, the plug part covers the locking portion 130, and the plug part is generally rigid, that is, the plug and the socket are completely locked. In this case, the plug and the socket will not separate in any case. When it is necessary to release the connection between the plug and the socket, press the unlocking member 20, so that the unlocking member 20 forces the suspended end 120 to move downward, driving the separation of the locking portion 130 and the plug, and finally completing the unlocking. The connector socket in the utility model is very convenient to connect or disassemble with the socket, and it is not easy to separate when the plug and the socket are connected. The implementation of the connector socket in the utility model can achieve the purpose of taking into account the rapid disassembly and assembly of the connector and maintaining a firm connection.

[0036] It should be noted that, after the plug and the locking portion 130 are locked with each other, the plug cannot continue to move toward the socket, so that under normal conditions, no matter how the cable 70 is dragged, the plug and the socket will not be separated.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, the unlocking member 20 has an abutting portion 210 , which is close to the suspended end 120 and is used to abut against the suspended end 120 .

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is difficult to operate by only relying on one end of the unlocking member 20 to press the suspended end 120 to move. The setting of the abutting portion 210 allows the unlocking member 20 to push the suspended end 120 to move when the swing amplitude is very small.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, a guide surface 1310 is provided on a side of the locking portion 130 facing the plug.

[0040] When the plug begins to abut against the guide surface 1310 and moves along the guide surface 1310, the plug forces the suspended end 120 to move downward. When the plug begins to separate from the guide surface 1310 again, the suspended end 120 rebounds, thereby locking the locking portion 130 and the socket with each other.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, a fastener 40 is further included. The fastener 40 is disposed around the body 30. The fastener 40 further includes a second elastic piece 410 which has an elastic force. When the plug is connected to the socket, the second elastic piece 410 abuts against the body 30 and the plug respectively.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fastener 40 is generally made of a metal material. On the one hand, the fastener 40 has good electrical conductivity and can achieve electrical connection between the plug and the socket. On the other hand, the fastener 40 can also play a role in fixing the body 30.

[0043] Generally speaking, the body 30 is injection molded from plastics, plastic, etc. The fastener 40 is wound around the body 30, and then the body 30 and part of the fastener 40 are wrapped with an insulating material to achieve the purpose of completing the production and installation of the connector socket in the present utility model.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the first elastic piece 10 further includes a limiting portion 140 which is disposed at the suspended end 120. The limiting portion 140 cooperates with the fastener 40 to prevent the suspended end 120 from protruding above the end face of the fastener 40.

[0045] In this embodiment, the purpose of the limiting portion 140 is to prevent the suspended end 120 of the first elastic piece 10 from tilting up, thereby preventing the plug from being fully inserted. The limiting portion 140 is generally inserted into the fastener 40, and the fastener 40 limits the movement range of the limiting portion 140, thereby preventing the suspended end 120 of the first elastic piece 10 from tilting up to prevent the plug from being installed in place.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, a shielding structure 50 is further included. The shielding structure 50 is disposed at one end of the body 30 away from the jack 310. The shielding structure 50 is used for shielding interference.

[0047] The main function of the connector is to transmit signal data, so a certain anti-interference ability is required. The main reasons for designing the shielding structure 50 in the connector are as follows:

[0048] Electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. The shielding structure 50 can reduce the influence of external electromagnetic interference on the internal signals of the connector, and at the same time reduce the influence of the electromagnetic interference generated by the connector itself on the external environment;

[0049] Signal integrity. The shielding structure 50 helps to maintain the integrity of the signal. Especially in high-speed data transmission, shielding can reduce signal attenuation and crosstalk, and improve the reliability of data transmission;

[0050] Mechanical protection, the shielding structure 50 can provide additional mechanical protection to prevent physical damage to the connector during installation or use;

[0051] Environmental isolation, in some harsh environments, the shielding structure 50 can prevent contaminants such as moisture and dust from entering the connector, thereby protecting the internal circuit and contacts;

[0052] Thermal management, the shielding structure 50 can sometimes also help manage the thermal performance of the connector. Through appropriate design, it can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the connector or reduce the thermal impact;

[0053] Safety considerations, in some applications, the shielding structure 50 can prevent electric shock or short circuit, improving the safety of use.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , the shielding structure 50 includes a first mounting member 510, a second mounting member 520, and a shielding member 530. The first mounting member 510, the second mounting member 520, and the shielding member 530 are all made of metal materials. The first mounting member 510 and the second mounting member 520 are fixed on the body 30. The wire is threaded between the second mounting member 520 and the second mounting member 520. The shielding member 530 is annular and sleeved on the first mounting member 510 and the second mounting member 520.

[0055] In this embodiment, the combined action of the first mounting member 510, the second mounting member 520, and the shielding member 530 serves the purpose of completely wrapping the cable 70 to shield electromagnetic signals. Among them, the first mounting member 510 and the second mounting member 520 mainly play a supporting role, and the shielding member 530 is generally directly sleeved on the first mounting member 510 and the second mounting member 520.

[0056] In some specific embodiments, the shielding member 530 has a notch 5310 that penetrates both ends of the shielding member 530.

[0057] The shielding member 530 has a notch 5310, so it can have a certain degree of flexibility. When the shielding member 530 is sleeved on the first support member and the second support member, the first support member or the second support member exactly blocks the position of the notch 5310 to achieve the enclosure of the cable 70. The shielding member 530 has a notch 5310, so the diameter of the shielding member 530 can be changed within a certain range, facilitating the installation of the shielding member 530 on the first support member and the second support member.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, a third elastic piece 60 is further included. The third elastic piece 60 is disposed in the jack 310 and is used to clamp the plug and make electrical connection with the plug.

[0059] The third elastic piece 60 is built into the jack 310 to clamp the plug, further increasing the connection stability between the plug and the socket. Moreover, the third elastic piece 60 can ensure an electrical connection between the plug and the socket.

[0060] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a connector, including a socket (not shown in the figure) and the connector socket of any one of the first aspect.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , it should be noted that the first elastic piece 10, the fastener 40, and the first mounting member 510 and the second mounting member 520 are all made of metal materials. Usually, they are integrally processed from a whole metal sheet by bending, cutting, etc., and then the body 30 is formed by injection molding on this basis.

[0062] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0063] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
