Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technology of connector field, in particular to a new improved terminal. Background Art

[0002] Connectors are also called connectors. Also known as joints and sockets in China, they generally refer to electrical connectors. These are devices that connect two active components, transmitting current or signals. The male and female ends, when in contact, can transmit information or current, and are also called connectors. The basic performance of connectors can be categorized into three main categories: mechanical, electrical, and environmental. Another important mechanical performance characteristic is the mechanical life of the connector. Mechanical life is actually a durability indicator, referred to as mechanical operation in the national standard GB5095. It is based on a single insertion and removal cycle, and is judged based on whether the connector can properly perform its connection function after the specified insertion and removal cycles.

[0003] During the plugging and unplugging process, connectors transmit signals through contact between their internal terminals. To ensure stable signal transmission, spring clips are often installed on the female end to hold the male end. However, this structure requires the male end to align with the two spring clips during plugging, making the plugging process cumbersome. If the alignment is not correct, the male end will collide with the front end of the spring clips during plugging, which not only affects the plugging process but also damages the spring clips after multiple plugging and plugging, shortening the service life of the connector. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the existing connector structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to address the deficiencies in the prior art, and its main purpose is to provide a new and improved terminal that can effectively solve the problems of the existing connector terminal, such as the cumbersome plugging process, easy damage to the spring sheet, and affected connector service life.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A new and improved terminal includes an integrally formed main body and a reinforcement portion; the two sides of the main body are integrally bent forward to form spring plates, and the two spring plates are symmetrically arranged on the left and right; the reinforcement portion is integrally bent from the front end of the main body, and the reinforcement portion includes a limiting plate and a fixing plate, the limiting plate is integrally bent upward from the front end of the main body, and a limiting hole is provided on the limiting plate to cooperate with the external terminal, and the limiting hole corresponds to the position of the two spring plates; the fixing plate is integrally bent backward from the upper end of the limiting plate, and the fixing plate and the limiting plate cover the outer periphery of the two spring plates.

[0007] As a preferred solution, the front end of each spring piece is integrally bent to form a guide portion facing outward.

[0008] As a preferred solution, the limiting hole is a square hole.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the rear end of the main body is integrally extended with a fixing portion, and the left and right sides of the fixing portion are integrally bent upward to form a fixing plate that cooperates with the external insulating body, wherein there are two fixing plates arranged in a front-to-back interval.

[0010] As a preferred solution, both left and right sides of the rear end of the main body are integrally bent upward to form a connecting portion, and the two spring sheets are integrally extended forward from the front ends of the two connecting portions.

[0014] As a preferred solution, the elastic arms are two arranged in a front-to-back manner.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, it can be seen from the above technical solution that:

[0016] The reinforcement portion includes a limiting plate and a fixing plate. The limiting plate is provided with a limiting hole that mates with the external terminal, and the limiting hole corresponds to the position of the two spring pieces.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it shows the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which includes an integrally formed main body portion 10 and a reinforcement portion 20.

[0031] The two sides of the main body 10 are integrally bent forward to form a spring clip 11, and the two spring clips 11 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The two spring clips 11 are used to clamp the male terminal 30 when in contact with the male end to ensure the stability of the connection process. In this embodiment, the front end of each spring clip 11 is integrally bent to form a guide portion 111 facing outward. The guiding effect of the guide portion 111 can make the plugging process more convenient. The rear end of the main body 10 is integrally extended backward to form a fixing portion 12, and the left and right sides of the fixing portion 12 are integrally bent upward to form a fixing plate 121 that cooperates with the external insulating body, wherein the fixing plates 121 are two arranged at intervals in front and back, and are embedded in the external insulating body by the fixing plates 121 to ensure the structural stability between the main body 10 and the external insulating body. The left and right sides of the rear end of the main body 10 are integrally bent upward to form a connecting portion 13, and the two spring clips 11 are integrally extended forward from the front ends of the two connecting portions 13. Each connecting portion 13 has an upwardly projecting stopper 131 integrally formed at its upper end. The lower end of the main body 10 is bent downward to form a spring arm 14. These spring arms 14 extend forward and backward, with their rear ends pointing downward and away from the main body 10. These spring arms 14 enhance the retention force between the main body 10 and the external insulator, preventing the terminal from falling out of the external insulator during insertion and potentially causing terminal failure. Two spring arms 14 are spaced apart from each other.

[0032] The reinforcing portion 20 is formed by integrally bending from the front end of the main body 10, and the reinforcing portion 20 includes a limiting plate 21 and a fixing plate 22. The limiting plate 21 is formed by integrally bending upward from the front end of the main body 10, and a limiting hole 201 is provided on the limiting plate 21 to cooperate with the external terminal. The limiting hole 201 corresponds to the position of the two spring sheets 11. When the male terminal 30 is plugged in, the male terminal 30 is limited by the limiting hole 201 so that it can be accurately inserted between the two spring sheets 11 to avoid collision with the front end of the spring sheet 11 and damage to the spring sheet 11; the fixing plate 22 is formed by integrally bending backward from the upper end of the limiting plate 21, and the fixing plate 22 and the limiting plate 21 cover the outer periphery of the two spring sheets 11, and the fixing plate 22 and the limiting plate 21 protect the periphery of the spring sheet 11, thereby further improving the service life of the spring sheet 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the limiting hole 201 is a square hole. In other embodiments, the limiting hole 201 can also be other shapes that match other male terminals, such as a circle, without limitation. The fixing plate 22 is provided with a limiting groove 202 that matches the limiting block 131. The limiting grooves 202 are two symmetrically arranged on the left and right. The position of the fixing plate 22 is limited and fixed by the cooperation between the limiting grooves 202 and the limiting block 131. The fixing plate 22 is provided with a through groove 203. The through groove 203 corresponds to the front end position of the spring 11. The through groove 203 facilitates the testing and observation of the function of the spring 11 when processing the terminal.

[0034] The design focus of this utility model is that the reinforcement portion includes a limiting plate and a fixing plate, the limiting plate is provided with a limiting hole that matches the external terminal, and the limiting hole corresponds to the position of the two spring pieces; the fixing plate is formed by bending backward from the upper end of the limiting plate, so that when plugging in, the male terminal can be limited by the limiting hole so that it corresponds to the position of the two spring pieces. This not only makes the plugging process more convenient, but also avoids collision with the front end of the spring piece due to position deviation during plugging, preventing damage to the spring piece. At the same time, the fixing plate and the limiting plate cover the outer periphery of the two spring pieces, which can further protect the spring piece and effectively extend the service life of the spring piece and the connector as a whole.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
