Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connection seats, in particular to a side-inserted TYPE-C connection seat. Background Technique

[0002] USB is an external bus standard used to standardize the connection and communication between a computer and external devices, and it is an interface technology applied in the PC field. The USB interface supports the plug-and-play and hot-plug functions of devices. Type-C is a hardware interface specification for a universal serial bus. The highlight of the new version of the interface lies in its thinner design, faster transmission speed, and stronger power output. Its biggest feature is that it supports double-sided insertion, and there is no need to consider the front and back directions when plugging in.

[0003] The utility model patent with the publication number of CN 210640438 U discloses a Type-C socket. In this solution, through the front shell, outer seat, shielding cover and inner core provided, the inner core includes an insulator and connection terminals. An installation groove adapted to the shielding cover is provided on the outer seat. Through grooves are provided on both sides of the shielding cover. A clamping block that is clamped with the through groove is convexly provided on the installation groove. Plug pins extend from both ends of the shielding cover. First, the cooperation between the installation groove and the shielding cover can provide good horizontal limit for it, and then the vertical limit is realized by the clamping of the clamping block and the through groove, so that the shielding cover can be firmly and stably installed on the outer seat. Through the setting of the plug pins, the plug pins can be fixed on the PCB board during the installation process, further improving the installation firmness of the shielding cover.

[0004] However, there are still some deficiencies in the above solution. When connecting through a connector to a Type-C connection seat in the above solution, only the limit structure inside the connector is used to connect and fix with the plug-in joint inside the Type-C connection seat. When the device connected to the connector accidentally drops, the connector is easily separated from the connection seat. At the same time, the side-inserted connection seat is easily collided by the limbs of the user during use, resulting in the pulling of the connector cable, thus causing the problem of unstable connection of the connector. In view of this, we propose a side-inserted TYPE-C connection seat. Content of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] A side - insertion TYPE - C connection base, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, includes a connection terminal 1; a protection mechanism 2 is provided on the connection terminal 1. The protection mechanism 2 includes a rubber core 201, the rubber core 201 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connection terminal 1, a terminal assembly 202 is fixedly connected inside the rubber core 201, and a protective shell 203 is sleeved outside the rubber core 201. The protection mechanism 2 can protect the connection terminal 1 and reduce the external interference received by the connection terminal 1.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] As Figures 1 - 4As shown, a plug-in component 3 is provided on the protective shell 203. The plug-in component 3 includes a roller 301 which is movably connected to the protective shell 203. A limiting groove 302 is formed on the protective shell 203, and the roller 301 is connected inside the limiting groove 302. The plug-in component 3 can facilitate the plug-in connection of the connector inside the connection seat, thereby improving the convenience of connection. The roller 301 is made of rubber structure and can convert sliding friction into rolling friction, thus facilitating the plug-in of the connector. The structure of the limiting groove 302 can facilitate the accommodation of the roller 301. Both sides of the roller 301 are fixedly connected with a support shaft 303, and both sides of the limiting groove 302 are provided with sliding grooves 304 corresponding to the structure of the support shaft 303. The support shaft 303 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 304. The structure of the support shaft 303 can support the roller 301, and while facilitating the continuous rotation of the roller 301, it can also perform sliding adjustment inside the sliding groove 304. A driving plate 305 is slidably connected to the inner side of the protective shell 203. Driving grooves 306 corresponding to the structure of the driving plate 305 are formed on both sides of the protective shell 203, and the driving plate 305 is slidably connected inside the driving grooves 306. The structure of the driving plate 305 is arranged inside the connection seat and corresponds to the end of the connector. When the connector is inserted into the connection seat, the driving plate 305 can be driven. A positioning plate 307 is slidably connected to the outer side of the protective shell 203. One end of the positioning plate 307 is fixedly connected with a guiding shaft 308. Guiding grooves 309 are formed on both sides of the driving plate 305, and the guiding shaft 308 is slidably connected inside the guiding grooves 309. The structure of the positioning plate 307 can cooperate with the driving plate 305. During the sliding process of the driving plate 305, the guiding shaft 308 and the positioning plate 307 are driven to slide through the guiding grooves 309. The guiding grooves 309 are of an inclined structure. When the driving plate 305 moves inward, the positioning plate 307 slides inward under the guidance of the guiding grooves 309 and presses the roller 301 inward. At the same time, the roller 301 is made of rubber material. After being squeezed on both sides, both sides of the roller 301 are squeezed from a disc shape into a flat shape, thereby increasing the contact area between the roller 301 and the connector, and further increasing the friction between the roller 301 and the connector. Thus, after the connector is inserted into the connection seat, the connector is fastened, and the connection fastening effect of the connector is improved. A guiding rod 310 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the protective shell 203. The guiding rod 310 passes through the positioning plate 307, and the positioning plate 307 is slidably connected to the guiding rod 310. The structure of the guiding rod 310 can guide the movement of the guiding plate, keeping the guiding plate moving smoothly and preventing the positioning plate 307 from tilting during the movement. A clamping block 311 is slidably connected to the protective shell 203. One side of the clamping block 311 is of an arc structure, and one side of the clamping block 311 is adjacent to the support shaft 303. The other side of the clamping block 311 is fixedly connected with a spring. The structure of the clamping block 311 can position the support shaft 303, keeping the roller 301 tightly attached to the connector after the connector is inserted.

[0029] When a side - inserted type - C connector of the present utility model is in use, the connector is inserted into the interior of the protective shell 203 from one end of the protective shell 203. During the process of moving and inserting the connector, the roller 301 rolls along the outer wall of the connector. After the connector moves to the end of the protective shell 203, the connector comes into contact with the driving plate 305. The continuously moving connector pushes the driving plate 305 to move inward. As the driving plate 305 moves, the guiding shaft 308 at the end of the positioning plate 307 slides along the guiding groove 309. Driven by the driving plate 305, the positioning plate 307 continuously moves inward. The positioning plate 307 then squeezes the roller 301, causing the roller 301 to drive the support shaft 303 to slide inward. After the end of the support shaft 303 slides along the arc - shaped side of the latch 311 to be misaligned with the latch 311, the latch 311 rebounds under the action of the spring elasticity and positions the support shaft 303. At the same time, the roller 301 is squeezed and deformed under the restriction of the positioning plate 307 and the connector, and the side of the roller 301 is squeezed into a flat shape. At this time, the contact area between the roller 301 and the connector increases, thereby improving the fastening effect on the connector. When the connector needs to be disassembled, only by moving the latch 311 to be misaligned with the support shaft 303 again, the roller 301 can be restored under its own elasticity and push the positioning plate 307 outward. The positioning plate 307 then drives the driving block to rebound, thereby pushing the connector and assisting in the disassembly of the connector.
