[0042] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0044] For ease of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figures, such as "inside," "outside," "inside," "outside," "below," "beneath," "above," "above," "front," "back," and the like. Such spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures undergoes a positional flip or a change in posture or a change in motion, then these directional indications will also change accordingly. For example, an element described as "below" or "below" another element or feature will subsequently be oriented as "above" or "above" another element or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0045] In order to solve the technical problem that the back cover of the existing connector may be affected by external forces and offset relative to the insulating body, especially the two sides of the back cover may slide left and right due to external forces, resulting in the back cover fixing reliability to the conductive terminal being affected, and even affecting the overall conductive performance and normal operation of the connector, the present application provides a connector that can prevent the cover from moving up and down and left and right due to external forces, thereby improving the back cover fixing reliability to the conductive terminal, thereby ensuring the overall conductive performance and normal operation of the connector.

[0046] Figures 1 to 3 A connector 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes an insulating seat 1, a conductive terminal 2 and a cover plate 3, the insulating seat 1 includes a first end 101 and a second end 102 arranged opposite to each other in a first direction, the first end 101 of the insulating seat 1 is provided with a socket 104, the insulating seat 1 is provided with a accommodating cavity 103, the second end 102 of the insulating seat 1 is provided with a boss 11, and the boss 11 is provided with a first opening 111 communicating with the accommodating cavity 103; the conductive terminal 2 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 103; the cover plate 3 is embedded in the first opening 111 for fixing the conductive terminal 2, and the cover plate 3 is provided with at least two limiting structures 31, the limiting structure 31 abuts against the side of the boss 11 facing the first opening 111, and the two limiting structures 31 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, wherein the first direction intersects with the second direction.

[0047] For ease of explanation and understanding, the first direction may be the X direction shown in the figure, the second direction may be the Y direction shown in the figure, and the two ends of the first direction are respectively referred to as the front and the back. Figure 4As shown, during the assembly process, after the conductive terminal 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 103 of the insulating base 1 from back to front along a first direction, the cover plate 3 is then pressed against the conductive terminal 2 toward the side of the insulating base 1 and pushed into the first opening 111 of the boss 11 from back to front along the first direction, so that the retaining structure 31 of the cover plate 3 abuts the inner sidewall of the boss 11. After installation, a portion of the conductive terminal 2 is exposed in the socket 104, and the external device is plugged into the socket 104 of the insulating base 1. Electrical conduction can be achieved through this portion of the conductive terminal 2. The tight contact between the retaining structure 31 and the inner sidewall of the boss 11 provides static friction on the cover plate 3, preventing the cover plate 3 from falling off, thereby improving the connection stability between the cover plate 3 and the insulating base 1. During the plug-in connection between the external device and the socket 104 of the insulating base 1, even if the conductive terminal 2 is subjected to compression, the cover plate 3 can prevent the conductive terminal 2 from retreating. Since the cover plate 3 is embedded in the first opening 111, the cover plate 3 can be completely embedded in the first opening 111, that is, the side of the boss 11 facing away from the insulating seat 1 protrudes relative to the side of the cover plate 3 facing away from the insulating seat 1, so that the boss 11 can protect the cover plate 3 and prevent the cover plate 3 from moving up and down and left and right due to external pressure. Therefore, the reliability of the back cover fixing the conductive terminal 2 can be improved, thereby ensuring the overall conductive performance and normal operation of the connector 100. If it is necessary to remove the cover plate 3, a force can be applied to the cover plate 3 away from the insulating seat 1 without the use of additional working tools, and disassembly is convenient. Compared with the existing technology, the present connector 100 does not require the use of high-temperature glue or high-temperature tape, which can improve production efficiency on the one hand and improve the overall strength and pressure resistance of the connector 100 on the other hand.

[0048] It should be noted that the cover plate 3 is provided with at least two limiting structures 31 , which means that three, four, etc. limiting structures 31 may also be provided. The present application does not impose any specific limitation on the number of limiting structures 31 .

[0049] In one example, if Figure 7 As shown, the retaining structure 31 includes two retaining ribs 311, one located on either side of the cover plate 3. One end of each rib extends toward the accommodating cavity 103. The cover plate 3 is embedded within the first opening 111 of the boss 11. The retaining ribs 311 firmly abut the inner sidewall of the boss 11, providing static friction against the cover plate 3 and preventing it from falling off, thereby improving the connection stability between the cover plate 3 and the insulating base 1. One end of the retaining rib 311 extends toward the accommodating cavity 103, increasing the contact area between the retaining rib 311 and the inner sidewall of the boss 11 and, consequently, the static friction between the retaining rib 311 and the inner sidewall of the boss 11. The two retaining ribs 311 are located on either side of the cover plate 3, allowing the boss 11 to provide static friction on both sides of the cover plate 3. This results in a more balanced force on the cover plate 3 and prevents it from falling off.

[0050] Furthermore, a wedge-shaped surface 312 is provided at one end of the limiting rib 311 close to the accommodating cavity 103. During the installation process of the cover plate 3, the wedge-shaped surface 312 can play a guiding role, making it easier to install and remove the cover plate 3.

[0051] In another example, the limiting structure 31 may further include a plurality of limiting protrusions, which are spaced apart along the first direction. The cover plate 3 is embedded in the first opening 111 of the boss 11, and the limiting protrusions tightly abut against the inner sidewall of the boss 11, so that the inner sidewall of the boss 11 provides static friction to the cover plate 3, thereby preventing the cover plate 3 from falling off the insulating base 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the second end 102 of the insulating base 1 is provided with a positioning hole 105, and the side of the cover plate 3 facing the insulating base 1 is provided with a positioning boss 32 that is snap-connected to the positioning hole 105. Specifically, the positioning hole 105 can be set to a square, circular, trapezoidal or other shape, and the cross-section of the positioning boss 32 is correspondingly set to a square, circular, trapezoidal or other shape, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. During the installation process of the cover plate 3, the side of the cover plate 3 with the positioning boss 32 is directed toward the insulating base 1, and the positioning boss 32 is aligned with the positioning hole 105, and then the cover plate 3 is pushed into the first opening 111 of the boss 11 along the first direction, so that the positioning boss 32 is snap-connected to the positioning hole 105, thereby realizing the positioning of the cover plate 3, avoiding the cover plate 3 from being offset or misaligned, and thereby improving the reliability of the cover plate 3 fixing the conductive terminal 2.

[0053] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning holes 105 are provided, and a plurality of positioning bosses 32 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with each other. The positioning bosses 32 extend along the first direction away from one end of the cover plate 3. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, two positioning holes 105 are provided, and two positioning protrusions 32 are also provided. The two positioning protrusions 32 are respectively provided on both sides of the first direction. By providing multiple positioning holes 105, the displacement of the cover plate 3 in the first direction and the second direction can be limited, preventing the cover plate 3 from offsetting relative to the insulating seat 1, thereby improving the reliability of the cover plate 3 fixing the conductive terminal 2. Of course, the positioning holes 105 can also be provided in three, four, or other quantities, and this application does not limit this.

[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 8As shown, a plurality of first grooves 321 are provided around the circumference of the positioning boss 32. The plurality of first grooves 321 are distributed in a ring shape along the axis of the positioning boss 32. In this embodiment, four first grooves 321 are provided, and the four first grooves 321 are distributed in a ring shape along the axis of the positioning boss 32. This allows the positioning boss 32 to have a certain elastic deformation, facilitating the snap connection between the positioning boss 32 and the positioning hole 105, thereby achieving a positioning function.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the second end 102 of the insulating base 1 has a first sidewall 12, and the side of the boss 11 facing away from the insulating base 1 protrudes relative to the first sidewall 12. When the cover plate 3 is connected to the second end 102 of the insulating base 1, the side of the cover plate 3 facing away from the accommodating cavity 103 is flush with the first sidewall 12. Because the side of the boss 11 facing away from the insulating base 1 protrudes relative to the first sidewall 12, the cover plate 3 can be fully embedded in the first opening 111. The side of the cover plate 3 facing away from the accommodating cavity 103 is flush with the first sidewall 12, allowing the boss 11 to protect the cover plate 3 and prevent it from moving up, down, or left, or right due to external forces. This improves the reliability of the back cover's fixation to the conductive terminal 2, thereby ensuring the overall conductive performance and normal operation of the connector 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the cover plate 3 includes a first step 33 and a second step 34 connected together. The first opening 111 includes a second groove 1111 and a third groove 1112 connected together. The first step 33 is engaged with the second groove 1111, and the second step 34 is engaged with the third groove 1112. The limiting structure 31 is disposed on the first step 33. The first opening 111 includes the second groove 1111 and the third groove 1112 connected together, so that the first opening 111 forms a stepped groove. The first step 33 is engaged with the second groove 1111, and the second step 34 is engaged with the third groove 1112. During the installation of the cover plate 3 and the insulating seat 1, the first step 33 and the second step 34 serve as a positioning function, and at the same time, they can increase the contact area between the cover plate 3 and the boss 11, thereby increasing the friction between the two, preventing the cover plate 3 from falling off the insulating seat 1 due to external pressure, and further improving the reliability of the rear cover fixing the conductive terminal 2.

[0057] It should be noted that there are two first steps 33 and two second steps 34, the two first steps 33 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, and the two first steps 33 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cover plate 3, and the two second steps 34 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, and the two second steps 34 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cover plate 3.

[0058] Of course, in another example, the limiting structure 31 may also be provided on the second step 34 ; or, the limiting structure 31 may be provided on both the first step 33 and the second step 34 .

[0059] In another example, Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the cover plate 3 may further include a third step 35 and a fourth step 36 connected to each other, the end of the third step 35 away from the fourth step 36 is connected to the end of the first step 33 away from the second step 34, the second end 102 of the insulating seat 1 is provided with a fifth groove 106 corresponding to the third step 35, and the second end 102 of the insulating seat 1 is provided with a sixth groove 107 corresponding to the fourth step 36.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the conductive terminal 2 includes a fixing portion 21, a contact portion 22 formed by bending from one end of the fixing portion 21, and a connecting portion 23 extending from the other end of the fixing portion 21; the connecting portion 23 includes a plurality of first pins 231 and a plurality of second pins 232, and the first pins 231 and the second pins 232 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart in the second direction; the fixing portion 21 includes a plurality of first fixing feet 211 and a plurality of second fixing feet 212, and the first fixing feet 211 and the second fixing feet 212 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart in the second direction, the plurality of first fixing feet 211 are connected to the first pins 231 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the plurality of second fixing feet 212 are connected to the second pins 232 in a one-to-one correspondence, and a first spacing t1 is provided between adjacent first pins 231 and second pins 232, and a second spacing t2 is provided between adjacent first fixing feet 211 and second fixing feet 212, t1>t2. When assembling the conductive terminal 2, crosstalk between adjacent first pins 231 and second pins 232 can be prevented, so that the conductive terminal 2 is easier to connect to the insulating seat 1, thereby improving the assembly convenience.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 10 As shown, the first pin 231 extends along the first direction, and the second pin 232 includes a first bend portion 2321 and a second bend portion 2322. One end of the first bend portion 2321 is connected to the second fixed foot 212, and the other end of the first bend portion 2321 is connected to the second bend portion 2322. The first bend portion 2321 extends along a third direction, and the second bend portion 2322 extends along the first direction, wherein the third direction intersects with the first direction. Optionally, the third direction can be the Z direction shown in the figure, and the two sides of the third direction are respectively referred to as the upper and lower directions. It can be understood that through the above arrangement, the end of the second pin 232 away from the fixed portion 21 is misaligned with the end of the first pin 231 away from the fixed portion 21, which can prevent the adjacent first pins 231 and the second pins 232 from crosstalking with each other, making it easier for the conductive terminal 2 to be connected to the insulating seat 1, further improving the convenience of assembly.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 3 is provided with a plurality of first through-holes 37 and a plurality of second through-holes 38. The first through-holes 37 and the second through-holes 38 are vertically staggered. The first through-holes 37 allow the first pins 231 to pass through, and the second through-holes 38 allow the second pins 232 to pass through. During installation of the cover plate 3, the first through-holes 37 and the second through-holes 38 limit the connection portion 23 of the conductive terminal 2, restricting displacement of the conductive terminal 2 in the first and second directions. This prevents the conductive terminal 2 from moving up and down, left and right, and also prevents the conductive terminal 2 from being forced backward during connection to an external device. The cover plate 3 acts as a limiter and a stopper.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the cover plate 3 is provided with a plurality of fourth grooves 39 on the side facing the insulating base 1. The plurality of fourth grooves 39 are connected to the first bent portions 2321 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the fourth grooves 39 are connected to the second through-hole 38. The cover plate 3 is mounted on the insulating base 1, and the second bent portion 2322 extends through the second through-hole 38. At the same time, the first bent portion 2321 is embedded in the fourth grooves 39, thereby positioning the conductive terminal 2 and preventing interference and crosstalk between the adjacent first pins 231 and second pins 232.

[0064] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the contact portion 22 includes a plurality of contact pins 221, which are spaced apart and connected to the first fixed pin 211 or the second fixed pin 212. A plurality of partitions 13 are provided within the insulating base 1, with a limiting space 131 formed between two adjacent partitions 13. The limiting space 131 is connected to the accommodating cavity 103 and is used to accommodate the contact pins 221. Specifically, the spacing between two adjacent partitions 13 is equal to the spacing between two adjacent contact pins 221, so that the plurality of contact pins 221 are connected to the limiting space 131 in a one-to-one correspondence, limiting the displacement of the contact pins 221 in the second direction. Since the conductive terminal 2 is integrally formed, it can limit the conductive terminal 2.

[0065] At the same time, one end of the partition 13 extends along the third direction and abuts against the fixing portion 21 to limit the displacement of the fixing portion 21 in the third direction. Since the conductive terminal 2 is integrally formed, it can limit the conductive terminal 2.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 12As shown, the conductive terminal 2 includes a material strip 24, and the material strip 24 includes a connecting plate 241. A plurality of first material bridges 242 and a plurality of second material bridges 243 are provided on one end of the connecting plate 241 facing the insulating seat 1. The first material bridges 242 and the second material bridges 243 are spaced apart. The end of the first material bridge 242 away from the connecting plate 241 is detachably connected to the end of the first pin 231 away from the first fixed foot 211, and the end of the second material bridge 243 away from the connecting plate 241 is detachably connected to the end of the second pin 232 close to the second fixed foot 212. During the production process of the conductive terminal 2, the material strip 24 can be punched out using a stamping process to punch out the first pin 231 and the second pin 232 of the connecting portion 23 at one time. During the assembly process of the connector 100, an external clamp can be used to clamp the connecting plate 241 of the material strip 24 to push the conductive terminal 2 into the accommodating cavity 103 of the insulating seat 1 to facilitate automated production. Figure 13 As shown, after the conductive terminal 2 is installed in place, the connection point between the first material bridge 242 and the first pin 231 and the connection point between the second material bridge 243 and the second pin 232 can be cut off to facilitate the subsequent installation of the cover 3.
