[0036] See Figure 1-3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a connector, which includes a base head 1 and a base 2;

[0037] The base head 1 includes a contact unit 11 and at least two first fixing units 12 disposed below both ends of the contact unit 11;

[0038] The base 2 includes a base body 22 and at least two second fixing units 21 at opposite ends of the base body 22. The second fixing units 21 include a second fixing body 211, a first accommodating cavity 212, an elastic portion 213 and an anti-collision portion 214 provided on a side of the second fixing body 211 and extending into the first accommodating cavity 212. The anti-collision portion 214 is vertically higher than the elastic portion 213.

[0039] The first accommodating cavity 212 is used to accommodate the first fixing unit 12 when the base head 1 and the base 2 are installed. The elastic portion 213 elastically contacts the outer wall of the first fixing unit 12 to clamp the base head 1.

[0040] Specifically, in the connector, two first fixing units 12 are symmetrically arranged below the two ends of the contact unit 11. When the base head 1 and the base 2 are connected, the first fixing unit 12 is placed in the first accommodating cavity 212, and plays a role in fixing and connecting the contact unit 11 and the base body 22 to ensure stability and accurate docking of signal transmission.

[0041] The two second fixing units 21 are respectively arranged above the two ends of the base body 22 and engaged with the base body 22. The two side edges of the second fixing body 211 are respectively provided with an elastic part 213 and an anti-collision part 214 extending along the inside perpendicular to the first cavity. On the same side, the anti-collision part 214 is higher than the elastic part 213, so as to effectively buffer the docking impact during installation; when the base head 1 and the base 2 are assembled, the first fixing unit 12 enters the first accommodating cavity 212, and the elastic part 213 contacts the outer wall of the first fixing unit 12 to form an elastic force, thereby achieving a firm clamping and fixing of the base head 1, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.

[0042] The connector of this embodiment ensures the continuity and stability of signal transmission through the contact unit 11 and the first fixing unit 12 and the second fixing unit 21. The first accommodating cavity 212, the elastic portion 213 and the anti-collision portion 214 built into the second fixing unit 21 in the base 2 not only optimize the space utilization during docking, but also can achieve impact protection when the base head 1 and the base 2 are connected and installed, preventing accidental impact damage that may occur during the assembly process, and protecting the mechanical strength of the connector. During installation, the force generated by the elastic portion 213 can accurately clamp the base head 1, ensuring the stability of the connection, preventing loosening, and improving the overall durability of the connector, realizing the stringent requirements of miniaturized and highly integrated electronic devices for connectors; at the same time, it simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs, meeting the high requirements for connectors under the miniaturization trend of modern electronic devices.

[0043] In one embodiment, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the first fixing unit 12 includes a first fixing body 121 and a pair of grooves 122 symmetrically arranged on the side walls of the first fixing body 121 .

[0044] Preferably, the second fixing unit 21 further includes a pair of contact portions 215 connected to one end of the second fixing body 211 and bent to extend into the first accommodating cavity 212 , and the contact portion 215 extends to the lower side of the anti-collision portion 214 and is provided with a protruding contact piece 2151;

[0045] During installation, the groove 122 contacts the contact member 2151 .

[0046] Specifically, symmetrically distributed grooves 122 are provided on both side walls of the first fixing body 121 for receiving and fixing the protruding contact pieces 2151 on the contact portion 215 of the second fixing unit 21 during installation, so as to increase contact points.

[0047] At the same time, the arrangement of groove 122 and contact member 2151 enables the base head 1 and base 2 to be fixedly installed and positioned. The symmetrical groove 122 and contact member 2151 enable quick and stable fixing within a limited space, improving assembly simplicity. The protrusion of contact member 2151 increases the contact area and enhances connection stability, ensuring signal transmission quality even in high-vibration environments. Furthermore, the curved extension of contact portion 215 into the cavity reduces the overall volume, adapting to the trend of miniaturization and meeting the demand for miniaturization of electronic products, improving production efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0048] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the second fixing unit 21 further includes a first welding portion 216, a second welding portion 217 and a third welding portion 218 connected to the second fixing body 211. The second welding portion 217 and the third welding portion 218 are arranged on the side of the second fixing body 211 and are spaced apart.

[0049] The first welding portion 216 is connected to the second fixed body 211, and is used to achieve a stable welding fixation of the second fixed unit 21 and an external structure such as a circuit board or other components. At least two third welding portions 218 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second fixed body 211, and are spaced apart from the second welding portion 217 for corresponding welding with the external structure.

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting member 2191 is arranged at the bottom of the first accommodating cavity 212, and one end is connected to the second fixed body 211, which is used to support the first connecting member 2191. The other end of the first connecting member 2191 is connected to the bottom of the clip 2192 that bends and extends upward in the vertical direction, and the other end of the clip 2192 is connected to the clip end 2193 that bends and extends downward, which is used to achieve a stable connection between the base head 1 and the base 2.

[0051] The first connecting member 2191 is fixed to the bottom of the first accommodating cavity 212 as a basic support structure, providing an installation interface for the entire clamping part. The clamping member 2192 bends upward from the bottom of the first accommodating cavity 212 to form a surface that can contact and initially position the base head 1. The clamping end 2193 bends downward from the clamping member 2192. The connection position of the clamping end 2193 and the clamping member 2192 forms a structure with a certain curvature. When the base head 1 is placed in the first accommodating cavity 212, the arc structure formed by the connection between the clamping end 2193 and the clamping member 2192 will be clamped with the base head 1. The clamping end 2193 and the clamping member 2192 contact the base head 1 to produce extrusion and clamping, thereby achieving a firm clamping fixation between the base head 1 and the base 2.

[0052] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the contact unit 11 is provided with a clamping groove 113 below both ends, which is used for clamping and installing with the clamping member 2192 and the clamping end 2193 in the first clamping portion 219 during installation.

[0053] Specifically, when the base head 1 and the base 2 are installed in the vertical direction, the connection position of the clamping member 2192 and the clamping end 2193 in the first clamping portion 219 can be vertically inserted into the clamping groove 113. Because the clamping member 2192 and the clamping end 2193 are arc-shaped structures, the clamping member 2192 and the clamping end 2193 respectively contact the groove wall of the clamping groove 113, and a certain extrusion force is generated between the groove wall and the clamping member 2192 and the clamping end 2193, thereby realizing the fixation between the base head 1 and the base 2.

[0054] In one embodiment, if Figure 4-9 As shown, the first fixing unit 12 further includes a second clamping portion 123, including a second connecting member 1231 connected to the first fixing body 121 and extending upward, and a clamping strip 1232;

[0055] The first fixing body 121 includes a bottom plate 1211 , symmetrically arranged side plates 1212 , and an end plate away from one end of the second clamping portion 123 . The side plates 1212 , the end plate, and the second clamping portion 123 directly form a second accommodating cavity 1213 .

[0056] Specifically, the second clamping portion 123 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1211 of the first fixed body 121 through the second connecting member 1231 to achieve stable support for the second clamping portion 123. The first fixed body 121 includes a bottom plate 1211, two symmetrically arranged side plates 1212 and a distal plate 1214, forming a second accommodating cavity 1213 for accommodating the contact sheet.

[0057] During installation, the first fixing unit 12 is fixed to the contact unit 11 via the second clamping portion 123 , thereby preventing the first fixing unit 12 and the contact unit 11 from directly vibrating.

[0058] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 、 Figure 6 As shown, the contact unit 11 includes a contact body 111 and a first contact end 112 . The first contact end 112 includes two groups of contact ends symmetrically arranged, and each group of contact ends includes a plurality of first contact ends 112 .

[0059] Specifically, the contact body 111 provides positioning and support for the first contact terminals 112. The symmetrical arrangement of the two groups of contact terminals improves the uniform distribution of signals. Each group contains a plurality of first contact terminals 112, which increases the contact area, increases the current or signal transmission paths, reduces contact resistance, and improves signal stability.

[0060] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the base 2 also includes a second contact end 23, one end of which is installed in a receiving hole set on the side wall of the base body 22, and the second contact end 23 is fixedly engaged with the first contact end 112 in the third receiving cavity 24 on the base body 22.

[0061] Specifically, the second contact terminals 23 include two sets of second contact terminals 23, symmetrically mounted within the third accommodating cavity 24 of the base body 22. One end of each second contact terminal 23 is positioned within an accommodating hole in the side wall of the base 2, ensuring stable and precise docking. Each first contact terminal 112 engages with a second contact terminal 23 within the third accommodating cavity 24 of the base body 22, enabling signal transmission. Example 2
