[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] See also Figure 1 As shown, the utility model discloses an integrated connector 100, including a male connector 1 and a female connector 2 that is mated with the male connector 1. When the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are plugged in, electrical connection and communication between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 can be achieved simultaneously.

[0031] Combine Figure 2-Figure 10As shown, the male connector 1 is provided with a pin 11 and a circuit board 12 located on one side of the pin 11; the female connector 2 is provided with a first slot 21 for inserting the pin 11 and a second slot 22 for inserting the circuit board 12. A tube 26 is provided around the inner wall of the first slot 21, into which the pin 11 is inserted and electrically connected. The circuit board 12 is provided with a plurality of gold fingers 121, and the second slot 22 is provided with a plurality of signal terminals 23 correspondingly contacting the gold fingers 121. When the pin 11 is inserted into the first slot 21, the circuit board 12 is simultaneously inserted into the second slot 22. At this time, the pin 11 contacts the tube 26 to achieve electrical connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, and the gold fingers 121 contact the signal terminals 23 to achieve communication between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. The present invention utilizes the circuit board 12 for signal connection, which not only ensures stable contact but also provides a high degree of freedom for the circuit board 12, enabling signal integration on the circuit board 12.

[0032] Specifically, a plurality of gold fingers 121 are provided on opposite sides of the circuit board 12, and the plurality of gold fingers 121 are arranged in a straight line on the circuit board 12. The plurality of signal terminals 23 are also distributed on opposite sides of the second slot 22, and are arranged in a straight line. The inner wall of the second slot 22 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 221 for accommodating the signal terminals 23. Adjacent receiving grooves 221 are spaced apart, and a partition wall (unnumbered) is formed between adjacent receiving grooves 221 to separate the adjacent signal terminals 23. The receiving grooves 221 extend through the second slot 22.

[0033] In this embodiment, each of the signal terminals 23 is integrally formed and has a spring structure. Specifically, the signal terminal 23 includes a main body 231 extending along the depth direction of the second slot 22 and a contact portion 232 located at one end of the main body 231. The main body 231 is arranged to fit the inner wall of the accommodating groove 221. The contact portion 232 protrudes from the main body 231 and extends into the second slot 22 to contact the gold finger 121. When the circuit board 12 is inserted into the second slot 22, the circuit board 12 is located between the contact portions 232 of two opposing signal terminals 23 and simultaneously contacts the contact portions 232 of the two opposing signal terminals 23.

[0034] The signal terminal 23 further includes a first abutting portion 233 and a second abutting portion 234 that abut within the receiving slot 221. A baffle 223 is provided at the opening of the second slot 22. The first abutting portion 233 abuts against the baffle 223, and the second abutting portion 234 protrudes from the main body 231 and extends toward the inner wall of the receiving slot 221 until abutting against the inner wall of the receiving slot 221. The baffle 223 is connected to the partition wall, and a slope is provided on the side of the baffle 223 facing the receiving slot 221. When the first abutting portion 233 abuts against the baffle 223, the slope constrains the first abutting portion 233 within the receiving slot 221 and prevents it from deviating toward the second slot 22.

[0035] The inner wall of the receiving groove 221 is provided with a limiting platform 224 and an escape groove 225 located on one side of the limiting platform 224. The second abutting portion 234 extends into the escape groove 225 and abuts against the limiting platform 224. The first abutting portion 233 and the second abutting portion 234 act to retain the signal terminal 23 within the receiving groove 221. When the circuit board 12 is inserted into the second slot 22, the signal terminal 23 will not shift under the pressure of the circuit board 12, thereby ensuring stable contact.

[0036] In this embodiment, the contact portion 232 is formed by bending one end of the main portion 231, and the first abutting portion 233 is located at the connection between the contact portion 232 and the main portion 231. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the contact portion 232 may be located in the extension direction of the main portion 231, and in this case, the first abutting portion 233 is located on the side of the contact portion 232 away from the main portion 231.

[0037] A connecting portion 235 is provided at one end of the main body 231, distal from the contact portion 232. The connecting portion 235 is arcuate. A grille 226 is provided at the bottom of the second slot 22 in the depth direction. The connecting portion 235 partially extends into the grille 226. When the circuit board 12 is inserted into the second slot 22, it is positioned in front of the connecting portions 235 relative to the two signal terminals 23, meaning that the circuit board 12 does not reach the connecting portions 235. In this embodiment, the second slot 22 extends through the entirety of the main body 231. The grille 226 comprises a base plate and a plurality of spacers uniformly and spaced apart on the base plate. The spacers are perpendicular to the base plate and connected to the partition walls at both ends. This allows the signal terminals 23 to be partially exposed within the grille 226, facilitating the electrical connection of wires (not shown) through the grille 226 to the connecting portions 235.

[0038] Preferably, the connecting portion 235 is provided with a connecting piece 2351. This connecting piece 2351 is used to wrap around the wire when the connecting portion 235 is electrically connected to the wire, ensuring a stable connection. Initially, the connecting piece 2351 protrudes toward the second slot 22. In this embodiment, the retaining groove 225 can be provided on both sides of the limiting platform 224. The curved surface of the connecting portion 235 is recessed into the retaining groove 225, thereby maintaining a stable position of the signal terminal 23.

[0039] In this embodiment, the male connector 1 includes a male connector body 10, and the male connector body 10 is provided with a first groove 13 for accommodating the pin 11 and a second groove 14 for accommodating the circuit board 12. The pin 11 and the circuit board 12 are parallel and spaced apart in the corresponding grooves. The female connector 2 includes a female connector body 20, and the female connector body 20 is correspondingly provided with a first protrusion 24 forming the first slot 21 and a second protrusion 25 forming the second slot 22. When the male connector 1 is plugged into the female connector 2, the first protrusion 24 is inserted into the first groove 13, and the second protrusion 25 is inserted into the second groove 14, so that the pin 11 is inserted into the first slot 21 and the circuit board 12 is inserted into the second slot 22, further enhancing the connection strength.

[0040] To sum up, the integrated connector 100 of the present invention is configured by arranging a pin 11 and a circuit board 12 on the male connector 1, and arranging a first slot 21 for inserting the pin 11 and a second slot 22 for inserting the circuit board 12 on the female connector 2, and a plurality of gold fingers 121 are provided on the circuit board 12, and a plurality of signal terminals 23 are correspondingly provided in the second slot 22, so that when the pin 11 is inserted into the first slot 21, the circuit board 12 can be synchronously inserted into the second slot 22, thereby realizing electrical connection and communication between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2.
