[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The utility model discloses an embodiment of a buckle type float connector, comprising a plug 100 and a socket 200, the outer wall of the plug 100 comprises an embedded boss 10, the inner wall of the socket 200 comprises a limiting boss 20, the limiting boss 20 comprises a lower protruding part 21 and a side protruding part 22, one end of the lower protruding part 21 is connected with the bottom end of the side protruding part 22 to form a limiting structure with an opening, the plug 100 is inserted into the socket 200 and relatively rotated into the opening, the embedded boss 10 and the limiting boss 20 are buckled and matched to realize locking.

[0028] The working principle of the buckle type floating buoy connector of the utility model is as follows: when it is needed to connect the floating buoy, the plug 100 is inserted into the socket 200; in the process of insertion, the outer wall of the plug 100 and the inner wall of the socket 200 are in contact with each other; with the insertion, the embedded boss 10 on the outer wall of the plug 100 gradually approaches the limiting boss 20 on the inner wall of the socket 200; after the plug 100 is inserted to a certain depth, the embedded boss 10 is aligned with the opening of the limiting boss 20 by relatively rotating the plug 100; at this time, the plug 100 is continuously rotated, and the embedded boss 10 will enter the limiting structure opening formed by the lower protruding part 21 and the side protruding part 22; once the embedded boss 10 enters the opening, the embedded boss 10 and the limiting boss 20 are buckled and matched, and locking is realized.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the buckle type floating buoy connector, the lower protruding part 21 and the side protruding part 22 jointly act, and the embedded boss 10 is prevented from being easily pulled out; the buckling and matching make the plug 100 and the socket 200 tightly connected together, ensure that the floating buoy cannot be easily separated during use, and guarantee the stability and reliability of the floating buoy connection; compared with the traditional connection mode, the connector adopts the buckle type design, and the accidental situation caused by loosening or falling is reduced.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The lower protruding part 21 arranged in cooperation with the embedded boss 10 is arranged away from the insertion end, and the side protruding part 22 arranged in cooperation with the embedded boss 10 is arranged on one side connected with the lower protruding part 21. The lower protruding part 21 will block the embedded boss 10 from moving in the same direction as the insertion direction; the side protruding part 22 will block the embedded boss 10 from moving in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction; in this way, the cooperation of the lower protruding part 21 and the insertion end of the embedded boss 10 and the cooperation of the side protruding part 22 and the side part of the embedded boss 10 form limiting, so as to realize firm connection and locking of the plug 100 and the socket 200; when it is needed to separate, certain external force needs to be applied to overcome the cooperation and limiting relationship, so that the plug 100 can be pulled out of the socket 200.

[0031] The two sides and the insertion end of the lower protruding part 21 are respectively provided with top guide surfaces 210 which are arranged to be inclined outwardly toward the inner wall of the socket 200. When the plug 100 is inserted into the socket 200, the embedded boss 10 on the plug 100 first approaches the lower protruding part 21; at this time, since the two sides and the insertion end of the lower protruding part 21 are respectively provided with the top guide surfaces 210 which are inclined toward the inner wall of the socket 200, the embedded boss 10 will first contact these top guide surfaces 210; with the continuation of the insertion action, the embedded boss 10 slides along the top guide surfaces 210 under the action of the insertion force; the inclined top guide surfaces 210 play a guiding role, so that the embedded boss 10 can more smoothly slide to the correct position to cooperate with the limiting structure formed by the lower protruding part 21 and the side protruding part 22; the top guide surface 210 of the insertion end helps the embedded boss 10 to more easily start the insertion process, and the top guide surfaces 210 of the two sides gradually guide the embedded boss 10 to the appropriate height and position during the insertion process, so that the embedded boss 10 can smoothly pass through the lower protruding part 21, and prepare for subsequent cooperation and locking with the side protruding part 22; the existence of the top guide surfaces 210 increases the smoothness and operability during the insertion and removal of the plug 100, and improves the use convenience of the floating plug connector.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embedded boss 10 at one end of the insertion direction is provided with a first guide surface 11 which is arranged to be inclined outwardly toward the outer wall of the plug 100. When the plug 100 is inserted into the socket 200, the first guide surface 11 of the embedded boss 10 at one end of the insertion direction first contacts the inner wall of the socket 200; since the first guide surface 11 is inclined toward the outer wall of the plug 100, during the insertion process, as the plug 100 continuously advances, the inner wall of the socket 200 will slide along the first guide surface 11; this inclined first guide surface 11 plays a guiding role, so that the plug 100 is more easily inserted into the socket 200; it can help the embedded boss 10 to smoothly slide to the position for cooperation with the lower protruding part 21 and the side protruding part 22 in the socket 200. During the insertion process, the first guide surface 11 gradually guides the plug 100 to adjust the position and direction, reduces the resistance and jamming during insertion, and ensures that the plug 100 can accurately realize connection and locking with the socket 200; the existence of the first guide surface 11 increases the smoothness and operability during the insertion and removal of the plug 100, and improves the use convenience of the floating plug connector.

[0033] The second guide surface 12 is arranged on both sides of the embedding boss 10 and is arranged to be inclined outwardly to the outer wall of the plug 100. During the process of inserting the plug 100 into the socket 200, when the embedding boss 10 approaches the inner wall of the socket 200, the second guide surface 12 on both sides of the embedding boss 10, which is inclined outwardly to the outer wall of the plug 100, first contacts the inner wall of the socket 200; since the second guide surface 12 is inclined, under the action of the insertion force, the inner wall of the socket 200 will slide along the second guide surface 12; this makes the embedding boss 10 more smoothly enter the inside of the socket 200, playing a guiding role in insertion; with the continuation of the insertion, the second guide surface 12 guides the embedding boss 10 to gradually reach the position of cooperating with the lower protruding part 21 and the side protruding part 22 in the socket 200; in this process, the second guide surface 12 reduces the resistance during insertion on the one hand, avoiding the difficulty of insertion caused by friction or jamming; on the other hand, it helps to ensure that the embedding boss 10 accurately enters the locking position, improving the stability and reliability of the connection; the second guide surface 12 also increases the operability during the process of inserting and pulling out the plug 100, further improving the convenience of using the floating connector.

[0034] The number of embedding bosses 10 is multiple, and each embedding boss 10 is circumferentially arrayed on the outer wall of the plug 100. When the plug 100 is inserted into the socket 200, the multiple embedding bosses 10 circumferentially arrayed on the outer wall of the plug 100 simultaneously play a role; each embedding boss 10 gradually approaches the inner wall of the socket 200 along the insertion direction; since the embedding bosses 10 are circumferentially arrayed, they can cooperate with the lower protruding part 21 and the side protruding part 22 in the socket 200 from multiple directions; during the process of insertion, the embedding bosses 10 at different positions sequentially contact the corresponding lower protruding part 21 and side protruding part 22, and through the synergistic effect of multiple contact points, it is ensured that the plug 100 can be stably locked in all directions; the design of circumferential arraying makes the stability of the connection more uniform, and there is no weak point in a certain direction; this improves the adaptability and reliability of the floating connector in various complex use environments.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The number of the limiting protrusions 20 is multiple, and each limiting protrusion 20 is circumferentially arrayed on the inner wall of the socket 200, and the openings of each limiting protrusion 20 are oriented in the same direction. When the plug 100 is inserted into the socket 200, the embedded protrusions 10 on the outer wall of the plug 100 gradually approach the inner wall of the socket 200; at this time, the multiple limiting protrusions 20 correspond to the multiple embedded protrusions 10 one by one, and as the insertion proceeds, the embedded protrusions 10 and the limiting protrusions 20 at the corresponding positions are in contact and cooperation; since the limiting protrusions 20 are circumferentially arrayed, they can be buckled and locked with the embedded protrusions 10 from various directions; during the insertion process, the multiple limiting protrusions 20 provide support and limiting for the embedded protrusions 10 from different angles, ensuring that the plug 100 can be stably fixed in the socket 200 in all directions; the design of multiple protrusions increases the contact area and locking force of the connection, making the connection more firm and reliable; when subjected to external force, such as water impact or fish pulling the fishing line, the multiple limiting protrusions 20 share the external force together to prevent the plug 100 from accidentally coming out; the circumferential arraying makes the stability of the connection more uniform, and there is no weak link in a certain direction, improving the adaptability and reliability of the float connector in complex environments.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The plug 100 includes a plug member 13 and a float body member 14, and the embedded protrusions 10 are arranged on the outer wall of the plug member 13, and the limiting protrusions 15 are arranged on the float body member 14, and the diameter of the limiting protrusions 15 gradually decreases from the end close to the plug member 13 to the end away from the plug member 13. First, as the plug 100 continuously advances, when the limiting protrusions 15 contact a specific position of the socket 200, since the larger end close to the plug member 13, it will prevent the plug 100 from continuing to advance, thereby ensuring that the plug 100 will not be excessively inserted into the socket 200; and the diameter of the limiting protrusions 15 gradually decreases from the end close to the plug member 13 to the end away from the plug member 13, which can reduce the resistance of the plug 100 in water; when the float moves in water, the water flow will generate resistance to the float; due to the tapered shape of the limiting protrusions 15, the water flow can flow more smoothly through the float, reducing the turbulence and resistance formed by the water flow around the plug 100; this design makes the movement of the float in water more smooth, reduces unnecessary shaking and energy loss, and improves the sensitivity and stability of the float; at the same time, reducing the resistance in water also helps the fisherman to more accurately perceive the signal of the fish biting the hook, improving the success rate of fishing.

[0037] The sealing ring 130 extends outwardly on the plug member 13. When the plug member 13 is inserted into the socket 200, the sealing ring 130 abuts against the inner wall of the socket 200; the close fit of the sealing ring 130 forms an effective waterproof barrier; in this embodiment, the sealing ring 130 is a rubber ring; when the plug member 13 is inserted into the socket 200 and is in water, the presence of the sealing ring 130 increases the volume of the overall structure; due to the buoyancy of water, the buoyancy of an object with a larger volume is also correspondingly increased; the increased volume of the sealing ring 130 helps to increase the buoyancy of the entire plug member 13 and socket 200 in water, thereby achieving the function of floating in water; in a water environment, such as the application scenario of a floating buoy in water, the sealing ring 130 can also prevent water from entering the internal circuit through the connection part of the plug member 13 and the socket 200; since water cannot enter the connection area, electrical faults such as short circuit and corrosion caused by water are avoided, and the safety and reliability of the electrical connection are ensured.

[0038] The above only expresses the preferred technical solutions of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as limiting the scope of the application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, and the present application also intends to include these changes and modifications.
