[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a new type of electronic connector, which is mainly composed of three parts: a female connector 1, a male connector 2 and a ring 3. Among them, the female connector 1 and one end of the male connector 1 can be connected and conductive by plugging, and the ring 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the male connector 2. The ring 3 can be rotated relative to the male connector 2 toward one end of the female connector 1 and locked, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the female connector 1 and the male connector 1 and avoiding looseness causing power outage.

[0032] When the female connector 1 and the male connector 2 are mated, a groove 4 is provided at one end of the female connector 1. Correspondingly, a plug 7 is provided at one end of the male connector 2, which inserts into the groove 4. To enhance the stability of the mating connection between the female connector 1 and the male connector 2 and to ensure the uniqueness of their positions during mating, a separator 5 is provided within the groove 4, dividing the groove 4 into a first groove 401 and a second groove 402. The separator 5 is curved, making the first groove 401 and the second groove 402 unequal in size. Correspondingly, a separator groove 8 is provided on the plug 7, dividing the plug 4 into a first plug block 701 and a second plug block 702. The first plug block 701 is sized to match the first groove 401, while the second plug block 702 is sized to match the second groove 402. When the plug 7 is inserted into the groove 4, the separator 5 engages and secures within the separator groove 8, simultaneously securing the first plug block 701 within the first groove 401 and the second plug block 702 within the second groove 402. In addition, a foolproof portion 11 is provided between the plug 7 and the groove 4, so that the plug 7 can be inserted and fixed in the groove 4 along the direction specified by the foolproof portion 11. This connection method increases the contact area after insertion, forms a unique insertion method, and helps to avoid damage to the internal power terminals caused by blind insertion.

[0033] The terminals are arranged in a corresponding structure within both the female connector 1 and the male connector 2. The female terminals 6 within the female connector 1 are connected to the bottoms of the first and second slots 401 and 402 and protrude upward. The male terminals 10 within the male connector 2 are connected to the interiors of the first and second plug blocks 701 and 702. The tops of the first and second plug blocks 701 and 702 have end slots 9 for the female terminals 6 to insert into, contact with, and conduct electricity to the male terminals 10.

[0034] It should be noted that the female terminal 6 consists of three first female terminals 601 and six second female terminals 602. One of the first female terminals 601 is fixed within the first slot 401, while the remaining two first female terminals 601 and six second female terminals 602 are fixed within the second slot 402. Correspondingly, the male terminal 10 also consists of three first male terminals 1001 and six second male terminals 1002. One of the first male terminals 1001 is fixed within the first insert 701, while the remaining two first male terminals 1001 and six second male terminals 1002 are fixed within the second insert 702. When connected, the first female terminal 601 connects and conducts electricity with the first male terminal 1001, and the second female terminal 602 connects and conducts electricity with the second male terminal 1002.

[0035] In order to allow the female terminal 6 and the male terminal 10 to contact smoothly and improve the stability after connection, the end slot 9 also includes three first slots 901 and six second slots 902, wherein the first slot 901 is used to insert the first female end 601 to contact and conduct the first male end 1001, and the second slot 902 is used to insert the second female end 602 to contact and conduct the second male end 1002.

[0036] The female terminal 6 connected to the female connector 1 and the male terminal 10 connected to the male connector 2 both extend outward at the ends away from the plug-in connection. An arc-shaped piece 14 corresponding to the position of the separator 5 is provided at the ends of the female connector 1 and the male connector 2 away from the plug-in connection, which facilitates the identification of the corresponding relationship between the female terminal 6 and the male terminal 10 and facilitates the power connection operation.

[0037] The female connector 1 is detachably connected to a fixing block 12 that is sleeved on the outer periphery. The fixing block 12 is provided with a plurality of holes 13 along the circumferential direction. This method mainly fixes the female connector 1 on the plate in advance through the fixing block 12, and then connects the male connector 2 to the female connector 1.

[0038] Compared with traditional technologies, the connector provided by this technical solution divides the groove 4 and the plug 7 into two independently combined parts when the female head 1 and the male head 2 are plugged into each other, thereby increasing the area of ​​mutual contact after plugging in and improving the stability after connection. When used in conjunction with the anti-mute part 11, the direction of plugging in is clarified, avoiding damage to the terminals caused by blind plugging.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. It is intended that all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be encompassed within the present invention, and any reference numerals in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claims to which they relate.
