[0022] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] With the continuous development of modern electronic equipment and mechanical systems, connectors, as key components connecting various parts, are subject to increasingly higher requirements for their functions and performance.

[0024] Traditional connectors often require users to exert a large amount of force during plugging and unplugging operations, especially when plugging and unplugging frequently or when the connected parts are relatively tight. This not only increases the difficulty of operation, but may also cause hand fatigue or even injury. In some scenarios where high requirements are placed on operational convenience and efficiency, the plugging and unplugging method of traditional connectors may affect the smooth progress of the workflow and reduce production efficiency. The power-assisting connection mechanism cooperates with the mating portion through the first mating groove on the first side portion and the second mating groove on the second side portion to achieve effective guidance and positioning of the power-assisting mechanism during the rotation process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the power-assisting effect of the plug. In addition, the power-assisting mechanism is detachably connected to the plug, thereby achieving convenient installation and replacement of the power-assisting mechanism; and the first side portion and the second side portion are spaced apart on both sides of the plug and perpendicular to the axis of rotation, thereby achieving structural stability and symmetry of the power-assisting mechanism.

[0025] The specific structure of the power-assist connection mechanism is introduced in detail below.

[0026] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the power-assist connection mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the power assist mechanism in FIG. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the operation of the power-assist connection mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application; wherein, the embodiment of the present application provides a power-assist connection mechanism, including: a discharge socket 100, a plug 200 and a power-assist mechanism 300.

[0027] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the power-assist connection mechanism includes: a discharge socket 100, a plug 200 and a power-assist mechanism 300.

[0028] The discharge socket 100 has a mating portion 110. The position of the mating portion 110 on the discharge socket 100 is not specifically limited. For example, the mating portion 110 is located at the side end of the discharge socket 100 and is close to the insertion port of the discharge socket 100. There are two mating portions 110, which are located at opposite ends of the discharge socket 100. In this way, one mating portion 110 corresponds to the first side portion 310 of the power-assisting mechanism 300, and the other mating portion 110 corresponds to the second side portion 320 of the power-assisting mechanism 300, thereby achieving structural stability and symmetry of the power-assisting mechanism 300. In addition, the mating portion 110 and the discharge socket 100 are an integrally formed structure, which can improve the structural stability of the discharge socket 100.

[0029] The plug 200 is configured to be plugged into and mated with the discharge socket 100; the power assist mechanism 300 is detachably connected to the plug 200, and is configured to be able to rotate relative to the plug 200 around the rotation axis 210; the power assist mechanism 300 includes: a first side portion 310 and a second side portion 320 spaced apart on both sides of the plug 200, the first side portion 310 and the second side portion 320 are perpendicular to the rotation axis 210, a first mating groove 311 is provided on the first side portion 310 to cooperate with the mating portion 110, and a second mating groove 321 is provided on the second side portion 320 to cooperate with the mating portion 110.

[0030] The first matching groove 311 and the second matching groove 321 are arc-shaped grooves. Thus, when the power assist mechanism 300 rotates, the matching portion 110 can slide relative to the first matching groove 311 or the second matching groove 321 .

[0031] For example, the power-assisting mechanism 300 may further include a connecting portion, with a first side portion 310 and a second side portion 320 connected to opposite ends of the connecting portion, respectively, and the first side portion 310 and the second side portion 320 being arranged perpendicular to the connecting portion. The connecting portion is used to facilitate the user's grip on the power-assisting mechanism 300 and facilitate operation.

[0032] For example, protrusions are provided at opposite ends of the connection portion. When the plug 200 needs to be detached from the discharge socket 100, the user can grasp the protrusions with one hand and pull the assist mechanism 300 around the rotation axis 210 to rotate it. In this way, the plug 200 is detached from the discharge socket 100 during the rotation of the assist mechanism 300.

[0033] For example, one end of the connecting portion has an arc-shaped depression. When the plug 200 needs to be detached from the discharge socket 100, the user can press the arc-shaped depression with a finger and pull the power-assisting mechanism 300 around the rotation axis 210 to rotate it. In this way, the plug 200 is detached from the discharge socket 100 during the rotation of the power-assisting mechanism 300.

[0034] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, a first opening 312 communicating with the first mating groove 311 is formed on the side surface of the first side portion 310, and a second opening 322 communicating with the second mating groove 321 is formed on the side surface of the second side portion 320. This arrangement facilitates the mating portion 110 to enter the first mating groove 311 through the first opening 312 and to enter the second mating groove 321 through the second opening 322.

[0035] For example, the edge of the first opening 312 is chamfered to provide a guide for the mating portion 110 . The edge of the second opening 322 is chamfered to provide a guide for the mating portion 110 .

[0036] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, a first annular protrusion 313 is provided on the sidewall of the first mating groove 311 at one end near the plug 200, and the first annular protrusion 313 abuts the mating portion 110. A second annular protrusion 323 is provided on the sidewall of the second mating groove 321 at one end near the plug 200, and the second annular protrusion 323 abuts the mating portion 110. With this arrangement, the mating portion 110 can slide relative to the first annular protrusion 313 and ultimately enter the first mating groove 311 through the mating between the first annular protrusion 313 and the second annular protrusion 323, and ultimately enter the second mating groove 321 through the mating between the mating portion 110 and the second annular protrusion 323.

[0037] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, first positioning flanges 314 are disposed on the sidewalls of the first annular projection 313, and second positioning flanges 324 are disposed on the sidewalls of the second annular projection 323. With this arrangement, the first positioning flanges 314 can restrain the mating portion 110 within the first mating groove 311, while the second positioning flanges 324 can restrain the mating portion 110 within the second mating groove 321, thereby improving the connection stability between the assist mechanism 300 and the discharge socket 100.

[0038] Figure 4 This is an exemplary structural exploded view of the plug and power assist mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0039] See also Figure 4In some embodiments, the plug 200 includes a rotating portion, the central axis of which serves as the rotation axis 210. A first rotation slot 315 is defined on the first side portion 310, and a second rotation slot 325 is defined on the second side portion 320, which also cooperates with the rotating portion. This arrangement allows the assist mechanism 300 to rotate about the rotating portion, improving its rotational stability. Furthermore, the first rotation slot 315 and the second rotation slot 325 cooperate with the rotating portion, enabling a detachable connection between the assist mechanism 300 and the plug 200.

[0040] For example, the rotating part may include a cylinder and a block, the cylinder is connected to the plug 200, and the block is arranged on the outer circumference of the cylinder. Taking the first rotating groove 315 as an example, the inner circumference of the first rotating groove 315 is provided with a first circular snap ring, and the first circular snap ring has a notch. When the plug 200 is assembled with the power-assisting mechanism 300, the notch of the first circular snap ring is aligned with the block, and then the first side portion 310 is put on the rotating part, so that the cylinder passes through the first circular snap ring, and the block passes through the notch of the first circular snap ring, thus completing the assembly. When the power-assisting mechanism 300 rotates relative to the plug 200, the block abuts against the first circular snap ring, thereby preventing the plug 200 from detaching from the power-assisting mechanism 300. Since the structure of the first rotating groove 315 is the same as that of the second rotating groove 325, the specific structure of the second rotating groove 325 is not repeated here.

[0041] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the mating portion 110 includes a mating post 111 and an abutting platform 112 connected to each other. The mating post 111 is disposed on the discharge socket 100, and the diameter of the abutting platform 112 is larger than the diameter of the mating post 111. The mating post 111 is generally cylindrical in shape, and the abutting platform 112 is generally disc-shaped.

[0042] For example, the mating column 111 enters the first mating groove 311 or the second mating groove 321, and when the power assist mechanism 300 rotates relative to the plug 200, the mating column 111 can slide relative to the first mating groove 311 or the second mating groove 321 and finally enter the first mating groove 311 or the second mating groove 321.

[0043] For example, the abutment 112 is used to limit the freedom of the first side portion 310 or the second side portion 320 along the rotation axis 210, thereby improving the connection stability between the first side portion 310, the second side portion 320 and the discharge socket 100. In this embodiment, when the mating post 111 enters the first mating groove 311, the abutment 112 abuts the first annular protrusion 313 of the first mating groove 311. When the mating post 111 enters the second mating groove 321, the abutment 112 abuts the second annular protrusion 323 of the second mating groove 321.
