Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electrical connection structures, and particularly relates to a connector structure. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress and development of society and the continuous improvement of the scientific and technological level, electronic components have become more and more standardized and normalized, bringing a new USB Type-C interface, which solves the long-term problem of non-standard and inconsistent USB interfaces, integrates charging and data transmission, and has the characteristics of small size, fast charging speed, and being able to be used in both directions, and has been widely used.

[0003] In the USB Type-C interface, a middle section piece is usually arranged between the upper and lower terminals to support and fix the upper and lower terminals, and at the same time, it also plays an electrical insulation role. During the plugging and unplugging process, the middle section piece also bears most of the force. Therefore, the existing middle section piece generally needs to have a certain thickness to meet its strength requirements. Due to the limitation of the total thickness, the upper and lower terminals cannot be made of materials with a large thickness, resulting in the inability to withstand large currents and high powers. Increasing the thickness of the upper and lower terminals requires reducing the thickness of the middle section piece, which will lead to insufficient strength of the middle section piece and the risk of wear and fracture during long-term use. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the above-mentioned existing technical problems, the utility model provides a connector structure to solve the problem that the existing USB Type-C interface cannot withstand large currents and high powers. The connector structure improves the applicability to large currents while meeting a relatively high plugging and unplugging strength.

[0005] The present utility model provides a connector structure, which includes a housing, a reinforcing frame, a middle section piece, upper terminals, lower terminals and an insulating fixing member. The insulating fixing member is arranged in the housing, and the lower part of the insulating fixing member is exposed from the housing. The housing is provided with an insertion port, the middle section piece is located inside the insertion port, the number of the upper terminals and the lower terminals is multiple, the reinforcing frame surrounds the outer periphery of the end of the middle section piece close to the insertion port. The reinforcing frame includes a connecting rod, a first side wall and a second side wall. The connecting rod connects the first side wall and the second side wall respectively. The first side wall is located on one side of the middle section piece, the second side wall is located on the other side of the middle section piece, the connecting rod is located at the end of the middle section piece close to the insertion port, and the heights of the first side wall and the second side wall are greater than the thickness of the middle section piece; one ends of the multiple upper terminals are spaced on the upper surface of the middle section piece and extend to the end of the middle section piece close to the insertion port, the other ends of the multiple upper terminals pass through the insulating fixing member and are exposed below the housing, one ends of the multiple lower terminals are spaced on the lower surface of the middle section piece and extend to the end of the middle section piece close to the insertion port, and the other ends of the multiple lower terminals pass through the insulating fixing member and are exposed below the housing.

[0006] Further, the end of the middle section piece away from the insertion port is inserted into the insulating fixing member, and the first side wall and the second side wall are partially inserted into the insulating fixing member.

[0007] Further, the reinforcing frame further includes a first pin portion and a second pin portion. One end of the first pin portion is connected to the first side wall, and the other end of the first pin portion passes through and is exposed from the lower part of the insulating fixing member; one end of the second pin portion is connected to the second side wall, and the other end of the second pin portion passes through and is exposed from the lower part of the insulating fixing member.

[0008] In this connector structure, a reinforcing frame is arranged on the outer periphery of the middle section piece. The reinforcing frame has a first side wall and a second side wall, and the heights of the first side wall and the second side wall are greater than the thickness of the middle section piece, which can play a better reinforcing role for the middle section piece. At the same time, during the insertion and extraction process, the reinforcing frame bears a certain force and has good wear resistance. Furthermore, the strength requirement for the middle section piece can be reduced, the thickness of the middle section piece can be reduced and the thicknesses of the upper terminals and the lower terminals can be increased correspondingly, so as to play a role in adapting to the passage of large current.
