Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a Type-C connector, in particular to a telescopic Type-C connector, and belongs to the technical field of connectors. Background Art

[0002] The Type-C connector is an industry standard connector used to transmit data and power on a single cable. Its slim form factor is suitable for mobile devices, while being durable enough for industrial applications. It can be used to charge 3C products (such as laptops and smartphones). Type-C can not only charge, but also transmit data, and also has audio and video transmission functions.

[0003] A telescopic Type-C connector male head is disclosed in the Chinese patent application publication specification CN213989324U. The telescopic Type-C connector male head has a high structural stability and good performance. Through the coordinated use of structures, it can achieve an automatic telescopic effect. It can be applied to different product models, has a wide range of uses, and has a simple structure, a reasonable layout, and low manufacturing and maintenance costs, making it suitable for popularization and use.

[0004] Although the solution of the above patent can extend and retract the Type-C male connector, the male connector in the connector of the above patent is prone to loosening after a long period of extension and retraction, causing the male connector to move when the Type-C connector is plugged in and unplugged, and the position of the male connector is unstable after being stored, causing the male connector to loosen, thereby reducing the service life of the Type-C connector.

[0005] Therefore, a retractable Type-C connector is proposed herein. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a retractable Type-C connector to improve the position stability of the connecting male head when the Type-C connector is in use, and to prevent the shaking of the connecting male head after it is stored.

[0007] The utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a telescopic Type-C connector, comprising a supporting shell, a connecting male head slidably connected to the interior of the supporting shell, a connecting plate fixed to the side of the supporting shell away from the connecting male head, a tooth plate fixed to the top surface of the connecting male head, and a positioning mechanism for fixing the tooth plate provided between the supporting shell and the connecting male head.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning block fixed to the inner top wall of the support shell, a side surface of the positioning block is hinged with a positioning plate, and a spring is fixed between an end of the positioning plate away from the positioning block and the inner top wall of the support shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism also includes a second slide groove opened on the top surface of the supporting shell and a first slide groove opened in the middle section of the positioning plate. The interior of the second slide groove is slidably connected with a slide rod. The top end of the slide rod passes through the second slide groove and is fixed with a movable plate that slides on the top surface of the supporting shell. The bottom end of the slide rod passes through the interior of the first slide groove and slides on the bottom surface of the positioning plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism also includes a limiting rod fixed inside the second sliding groove, the outer periphery of the limiting rod slides inside the sliding rod, and a first compression spring sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod is fixed between the sliding rod and the inner side wall of the second sliding groove.

[0011] The support shell is provided with two supporting mechanisms for supporting the connecting male head, and the supporting mechanism includes a first connecting block fixed to the inner wall of the support shell, and one side of the first connecting block is rotatably connected to the first support rod, and the first support rod is provided with a slot on a side of the first support rod close to the first connecting block, and the first support rod is fixedly sleeved on one end away from the first connecting block, and the outer periphery of the slide rod is rotatably sleeved on the second support rod, and the second support rod is rotatably connected to the second connecting block fixed on one side of the connecting male head at one end. Both sides of the support shell are provided with operating grooves, and the interior of each operating groove is hinged with a right-angle rod for fixing the slide rod, and the interior of each operating groove is provided with a limiting mechanism for positioning the right-angle rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a push rod rotatably connected to the middle section of the right-angle rod, the end of the push rod away from the right-angle rod is rotatably sleeved with a connecting shaft, the outer periphery of the connecting shaft is rotatably sleeved with a first connecting rod, and the end of the first connecting rod away from the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the inside of the working groove.

[0014] The utility model provides a retractable Type-C connector, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This telescopic Type-C connector uses external force to move the lever outward. When the male connector moves out of the support housing, the lever is embedded in the operating slot and presses the right-angle rod, causing it to rotate inward of the support housing. At the same time, the push rod is pulled by the right-angle rod, and the push rod and the connecting shaft drive the ends of the first and second connecting rods that are close to each other to move toward the right-angle rod. The second connecting rod and the push rod fix the position of the right-angle rod, and the lever is fixed to one side of the operating slot to prevent the male connector from moving when the Type-C connector is in use.

[0016] 2. When the male connector of this retractable Type-C connector is stored, the first compression spring provides elastic support for the slide bar, so that the slide bar is close to the positioning block. At the same time, the spring provides elastic support for the positioning plate, so that the positioning plate is close to the tooth plate and the position of the male connector is fixed, preventing the male connector from falling off during storage, thereby improving the safety of the Type-C connector.
