[0044] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, but should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the socket 1 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a socket 11, the hole wall of the socket 11 is provided with an internal thread 111 and a socket conductive part 112, the internal thread 111 is used to threadably cooperate with the plug 2, and the socket conductive part 112 is used to electrically connect with the plug 2.

[0046] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the plug 2 includes a plug rod 21, which is provided with an external thread 211 and a plug conductive portion 212. Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the insertion rod 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, the external thread 211 is threadedly matched with the internal thread 111, and the plug conductive part 212 is electrically connected to the socket conductive part 112.

[0047] The socket 1 of the disclosed embodiment is provided with an internal thread 111 and a socket conductive portion 112 on the socket 1's receptacle. The internal thread 111 is threadedly engaged with the plug 2 to achieve a mechanical connection between the socket 1 and the plug 2. The socket conductive portion 112 is electrically connected to the plug 2 to achieve an electrical connection between the socket 1 and the plug 2. Thus, the socket 1 can simultaneously achieve both mechanical and electrical connection functions with the plug 2.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 2As shown, the socket conductive portion 112 is provided on one side of the internal thread 111 in the axial direction of the insertion hole 11 .

[0049] By arranging the conductive portion 112 of the socket on one side of the internal thread 111 in the axial direction of the socket 11, the parts of the socket 1 used to realize the electrical connection and mechanical connection functions are not shared. On the one hand, it can avoid the mutual influence of the mechanical connection function and the electrical connection function, thereby improving the reliability of the socket 1; on the other hand, it is convenient to design the parts realizing the electrical connection and mechanical connection functions separately according to needs, so as to improve the electrical connection and mechanical connection reliability of the socket 1, that is, to improve the reliability of the socket 1. In order to make the technical solution of the present disclosure easier to understand, the technical solution of the present disclosure is further described below by taking the axial direction of the socket 11 as an example to be consistent with the up and down directions. Among them, the up and down directions are as follows: Figures 1 to 10 shown.

[0050] For example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the socket conductive portion 112 is disposed on the lower side of the internal thread 111 .

[0051] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the socket 1 includes an outer shell 101 and an inner shell 102. The outer shell 101 has a socket 11, a portion of which has an internal thread 111. The inner shell 102 is disposed within another portion of the socket 11. The inner shell 102 has an electrical connection hole 1021, and the socket conductive portion 112 is disposed within the electrical connection hole 1021.

[0052] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the inner shell 102 is arranged close to the lower side of the insertion hole 11, and the upper part of the insertion hole 11 is provided with an internal thread 111.

[0053] By configuring the socket 1 to include an outer shell 101 and an inner shell 102, and arranging the internal thread 111 and the socket conductive portion 112 on the outer shell 101 and the inner shell 102, respectively, it is convenient to select the materials of the outer shell 101 and the inner shell 102 according to needs, so as to ensure the reliability of the electrical and mechanical connections of the socket 1, that is, to improve the reliability of the socket 1.

[0054] Optionally, the inner shell 102 is an insulating shell, for example, a plastic shell.

[0055] By setting the inner shell 102 as an insulating shell, insulation between the socket conductive portion 112 and the outer shell 101 can be achieved, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock and improving the safety of the electrical connector 100.

[0056] Alternatively, as Figure 2As shown, the jack 11 has an insertion opening 113. The socket 1 also includes a connecting post 14, which is located on a side of the jack 11 away from the insertion opening 113. The connecting post 14 is a threaded post that is threadedly connected to an external device. For example, the threaded post can be threadedly connected to a vehicle's center console to allow the socket 1 to be mounted there.

[0057] For example, the upper end opening of the jack 11 is the plug port 113 , and the connecting post 14 is disposed on the lower side of the jack 11 .

[0058] By providing the connection column 14 on the socket 1 , the socket 1 can be easily installed and fixed, which is beneficial to improving the installation efficiency of the socket 1 .

[0059] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the socket conductive portion 112 is provided on a side of the internal thread 111 away from the plug opening 113 . The plug conductive portion 212 is provided on a side of the external thread 211 away from the plug opening 113 .

[0060] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the upper end opening of the jack 11 is the plug interface 113 , and the socket conductive portion 112 is provided on the lower side of the internal thread 111 . The plug conductive portion 212 is provided on the lower side of the external thread 211 .

[0061] By arranging the socket conductive part 112 on the side of the internal thread 111 away from the plug interface 113, the socket conductive part 112 is arranged away from the plug interface 113. On the one hand, the risk of electric shock can be reduced and the safety of the socket 1 can be improved; on the other hand, the socket conductive part 112 can be better protected to avoid damage to the socket conductive part 112 and thus electrical connection failure, thereby improving the reliability of the socket 1.

[0062] Optionally, the socket conductive portion 112 is annular and arranged circumferentially around the socket 11 .

[0063] By setting the socket conductive part 112 to be ring-shaped, it is beneficial to increase the electrical connection area between the socket conductive part 112 and the plug 2, improve the electrical connection reliability between the socket 1 and the plug 2 under high-intensity impact and vibration conditions, and improve the current flow capacity of the socket 1.

[0064] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, a crown spring 12 is provided in the socket 11 , and the crown spring 12 forms a socket conductive portion 112 .

[0065] The crown spring 12 has a large number of contacts, which can increase the electrical connection area between the socket 1 and the plug 2, improve the electrical connection reliability between the socket 1 and the plug 2 under high-intensity impact and vibration conditions, and improve the current flow capacity of the socket 1.

[0066] Alternatively, as Figure 2As shown, a socket terminal 13 is provided within the socket 11. Socket terminal 13 comprises a conductive ring 1301 and a conductive sheet (not shown). The conductive ring 1301 is sleeved around the outer side of the crown spring 12 and electrically connected to the crown spring 12. The conductive sheet is located on the side of the conductive ring 1301 away from the internal thread 111 and electrically connected to the conductive ring 1301. The conductive ring 1301 can be snap-fitted to the wall of the socket 11, while the crown spring 12 and the conductive ring 1301 can be riveted or welded.

[0067] For example, the conductive sheet is disposed on the lower side of the conductive ring 1301 , the upper end of the conductive sheet is electrically connected to the conductive ring 1301 , and the lower end of the conductive sheet extends downward and is electrically connected to the first wire 3 .

[0068] By configuring the socket terminal 13 to include a conductive ring 1301 and a conductive sheet, the conductive ring 1301 facilitates the installation and fixation of the crown spring 12, while the conductive sheet facilitates the electrical connection between the socket conductive portion 112 and the external device. This further facilitates the assembly and installation of the socket 1, improving the efficiency of the assembly and installation of the socket 1.

[0069] Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple socket conductive parts 112, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the jack 11. Of two adjacent socket conductive parts 112, the minimum inner diameter of the socket conductive part 112 farther from the plug opening 113 is smaller than the minimum inner diameter of the socket conductive part 112 closer to the plug opening 113. The minimum inner diameter of the socket conductive part 112 can be understood as the inner diameter of the socket conductive part 112 at its smallest point.

[0070] For example, the number of the socket conductive portion 112 and the plug conductive portion 212 is three. Figure 4 As shown, the three socket conductive parts 112 are respectively a first socket conductive part 1121, a second socket conductive part 1122 and a third socket conductive part 1123. Figure 7 As shown, the three plug conductive parts 212 are respectively a first plug conductive part 2121, a second plug conductive part 2122, and a third plug conductive part 2123. The first socket conductive part 1121 is electrically connected to the first plug conductive part 2121, the second socket conductive part 1122 is electrically connected to the second plug conductive part 2122, and the third socket conductive part 1123 is electrically connected to the third plug conductive part 2123.

[0071] The first socket conductive portion 1121, the second socket conductive portion 1122, and the third socket conductive portion 1123 are arranged in a sequential order from top to bottom. The minimum inner diameter of the first socket conductive portion 1121 is larger than the minimum inner diameter of the second socket conductive portion 1122, and the minimum inner diameter of the second socket conductive portion 1122 is larger than the minimum inner diameter of the third socket conductive portion 1123. The first socket conductive portion 1121, the first plug conductive portion 2121, the second socket conductive portion 1122, and the second plug conductive portion 2122 can be used to implement charging functions; the third socket conductive portion 1123 and the third plug conductive portion 2123 can be used to implement charging detection and protocol communication functions.

[0072] By designing the plurality of socket conductive parts 112 as described above, interference between the socket conductive parts 112 and the plug conductive parts 212 can be effectively avoided when the socket 1 is connected to the plug 2 , thereby improving the connection efficiency between the socket 1 and the plug 2 .

[0073] For example, the number of the socket terminals 13 is three, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the three socket terminals 13 are respectively a first socket terminal 131 , a second socket terminal 132 and a third socket terminal 133 , which are electrically connected to the first socket conductive portion 1121 , the second socket conductive portion 1122 and the third socket conductive portion 1123 respectively.

[0074] The minimum inner diameter of the conductive ring 1301 of the first socket terminal 131 is greater than the minimum inner diameter of the conductive ring 1301 of the second socket terminal 132, and the minimum inner diameter of the conductive ring 1301 of the second socket terminal 132 is greater than the minimum inner diameter of the conductive ring 1301 of the third socket terminal 133. The first socket conductive portion 1121, the second socket conductive portion 1122, and the third socket conductive portion 1123 are interference fit with the conductive rings 1301 of the first socket terminal 131, the second socket terminal 132, and the third socket terminal 133, respectively.

[0075] Optionally, the plurality of socket conductive parts 112 are coaxially arranged, the plurality of plug conductive parts 212 are coaxially arranged, and the plurality of socket terminals 13 are coaxially arranged.

[0076] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of steps 1022 are provided in the socket 11, and the plurality of steps 1022 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the socket 11. The plurality of steps 1022 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of socket terminals 13, and the socket terminals 13 stop at the corresponding steps 1022, thereby limiting the socket terminals 13 in the extension direction of the socket 11.

[0077] By providing a plurality of steps 1022 in the insertion hole 11 , it is convenient to limit the position of the socket terminal 13 in the extension direction of the insertion hole 11 , which is beneficial to further improve the assembly efficiency of the electrical connector 100 .

[0078] The plug terminal 22 can be processed by a drawing process.

[0079] For example, Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown,

[0080] Optionally, the insertion hole 11 is a quarter threaded hole.

[0081] By rotating the plug 2 , the mechanical connection between the plug 2 and the socket 1 is achieved.

[0082] The plug 2 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is assembled with the socket 1 described in any of the above embodiments. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the plug 2 of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes an insert rod 21, which is provided with an external thread 211 and a plug conductive portion 212. The external thread 211 is used to threadably mate with the socket 1, and the plug conductive portion 212 is used to electrically connect to the socket 1.

[0083] For example, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the socket 1 is provided with a socket 11, and the hole wall of the socket 11 is provided with an internal thread 111 and a socket conductive part 112. Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the insertion rod 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, and the external thread 211 is threadedly matched with the internal thread 111, and the plug conductive part 212 is electrically connected to the socket conductive part 112.

[0084] The plug 2 of the disclosed embodiment is provided with an external thread 211 and a plug conductive portion 212 on the plug rod 2. The external thread 211 is threadedly engaged with the socket 1 to achieve a mechanical connection between the plug 2 and the socket 1. The plug conductive portion 212 is electrically connected to the socket 1 to achieve an electrical connection between the plug 2 and the socket 1. Thus, the plug 2 can achieve both mechanical and electrical connection functions with the socket 1.

[0085] Alternatively, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the plug conductive portion 212 is provided on one side of the external thread 211 in the axial direction of the insertion rod 21 .

[0086] For example, the plug conductive portion 212 is disposed on the lower side of the external thread 211 .

[0087] By locating the plug conductive portion 212 on one side of the external thread 211 in the axial direction of the plug rod 21, the parts of the plug 2 used for both electrical and mechanical connection functions are separated. This prevents the mechanical and electrical connection functions from interfering with each other, improving the reliability of the plug 2. Furthermore, it facilitates the design of the parts that implement the electrical and mechanical connection functions separately, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical and mechanical connections of the plug 2.

[0088] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown, the plug rod 21 has a plug end 211 , and the plug conductive portion 212 is disposed on a side of the external thread 211 close to the plug end 211 .

[0089] For example, the lower end of the plug rod 21 is the plug end 211 , and the plug conductive portion 212 is disposed on the lower side of the external thread 211 .

[0090] By arranging the conductive portion 212 of the plug on the side of the external thread 211 close to the plug end 211, the conductive portion 212 of the plug is arranged away from the plug end 211, and the conductive portion 212 of the plug is arranged away from the plug interface 113 of the socket 1. On the one hand, the risk of electric shock can be reduced and the safety of the plug 2 can be improved; on the other hand, the conductive portion 212 of the plug can be better protected to avoid damage to the conductive portion 212 of the plug and cause electrical connection failure, thereby improving the reliability of the plug 2.

[0091] Optionally, the plug conductive portion 212 is annular and arranged circumferentially around the insertion rod 21 .

[0092] By setting the plug conductive part 212 to be ring-shaped, it is beneficial to increase the electrical connection area between the plug conductive part 212 and the socket 1, improve the electrical connection reliability between the socket 1 and the plug 2 under high-intensity impact and vibration conditions, and improve the current flow capacity of the plug 2.

[0093] Optionally, multiple plug conductive portions 212 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the plug rod 21. Of two adjacent plug conductive portions 212, the maximum outer diameter of the plug conductive portion 212 closer to the plug end 211 is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the plug conductive portion 212 farther from the plug end 211. The maximum outer diameter of the plug conductive portion 212 can be understood as the outer diameter of the plug conductive portion 212 at its largest point.

[0094] For example, the number of the plug conductive parts 212 is three, such as Figure 7As shown, the three plug conductive parts 212 are a first plug conductive part 2121, a second plug conductive part 2122, and a third plug conductive part 2123. The first socket conductive part 1121 is electrically connected to the first plug conductive part 2121, the second socket conductive part 1122 is electrically connected to the second plug conductive part 2122, and the third socket conductive part 1123 is electrically connected to the third plug conductive part 2123. The first plug conductive part 2121, the second plug conductive part 2122, and the third plug conductive part 2123 are arranged in a sequential order from top to bottom. The maximum outer diameter of the first plug conductive part 2121 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the second plug conductive part 2122, and the maximum outer diameter of the second plug conductive part 2122 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the third plug conductive part 2123.

[0095] By designing the plurality of plug conductive parts 212 as described above, interference between the socket conductive parts 112 and the plug conductive parts 212 can be effectively avoided when the socket 1 and the plug 2 are connected, thereby improving the connection efficiency between the socket 1 and the plug 2 .

[0096] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown, the insertion rod 21 is provided with a plurality of plug terminals 22, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the jack 11. Each of the plug terminals 22 corresponds to and is electrically connected to the plug conductive portion 212. Of two adjacent plug terminals 22, the one electrically connected to the plug conductive portion 212 farther from the insertion opening 113 is sleeved within the one electrically connected to the plug conductive portion 212 closer to the insertion opening 113. The plug terminals 22 can be manufactured using a drawing process.

[0097] For example, Figure 7 As shown, there are three plug terminals 22, which are respectively a first plug terminal 221, a second plug terminal 222 and a third plug terminal 223. The first plug terminal 221, the second plug terminal 222 and the third plug terminal 223 are electrically connected to the first plug conductive part 2121, the second plug conductive part 2122 and the third plug conductive part 2123 respectively.

[0098] By arranging two adjacent plug terminals 22 so that one is sleeved within the other, insulation performance between the two adjacent plug terminals 22 can be easily achieved, thereby facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the plug 2 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the electrical connector 100 .

[0099] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of plug terminals 22 are coaxially arranged.

[0100] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown, the plug terminal 22 extends along the axial direction of the jack 11 , and is disposed on a side of the plug conductive portion 212 close to the external thread 212 and is electrically connected to the plug terminal 22 .

[0101] For example, the lower end of the plug terminal 22 is electrically connected to the corresponding plug conductive portion 212 , and the upper end of the plug terminal 22 extends upward.

[0102] By arranging the plug terminal 22 to extend axially along the insertion rod 21, it is easy to pass the plug terminal 22 through the external thread 211 and electrically connect it to the second wire 4, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the plug conductive portion 212 and the external device. This prevents the plug terminal 22 from affecting the mechanical connection between the plug 2 and the socket 1, which helps improve the reliability of the electrical connector 100.

[0103] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the plug 2 includes a third conductive portion 23 , which is disposed on opposite sides of the external thread 211 in the axial direction of the plug 21 and is electrically connected to the plug conductive portion 212 .

[0104] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the portion of the plug terminal 22 located above the external thread 211 forms the third conductive portion 23 .

[0105] The third conductive portion 23 facilitates electrical connection between the plug conductive portion 212 and the external device, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the electrical connector 100 .

[0106] The electrical connector 100 of the disclosed embodiment includes a socket 1 and a plug 2. The socket 1 is the socket 1 described in any of the aforementioned embodiments, and the plug 2 is the plug 2 described in any of the aforementioned embodiments.
