Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronics, and specifically relates to a connector. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary connectors allow two devices or components to rotate freely to adjust direction and angle, ensuring the adaptability and flexibility of the connection wiring. Examples include gimbals, which require rotary connectors. Traditional rotary connectors typically use a flexible brush that contacts the circumferential surface of a cylindrical terminal. The disadvantages are: 1. Because the flexible brush is small and thin, installation is very difficult and it is easily deformed; 2. The service life of the flexible brush is relatively short. Utility Model Content

The female connector includes a female housing, a female PING pin disposed at the center of the female housing, and a wiring pin disposed on one side of the female housing. A contact ring is provided at the top of the wiring pin. The male connector includes a male housing and a male PING pin disposed in the male housing. The top of the male PING pin contacts the female PING pin and the contact ring, respectively.

[0005] The 360-degree rotating connector is characterized in that: the male PING pin includes a needle tube, a spring disposed inside the needle tube, and a retractable needle tip disposed at the front end of the needle tube.

[0006] The 360-degree rotating connector is characterized in that: the end face of the female head housing is provided with an annular track, and the contact ring is disposed within the annular track.

[0007] The 360-degree rotating connector is characterized in that: the number of wiring pins is 1-4, and the contact rings at the top of the pins are arranged in concentric circles.

[0008] The 360-degree rotating connector is characterized in that: the outer shell surface is provided with external threads and / or positioning flanges.

[0009] The 360-degree rotating connector is characterized in that: the upper end face of the housing is provided with a rotating groove.

[0010] The 360-degree rotating connector is characterized in that: the female connector is rotatably installed inside the housing, and the male connector is fixed inside the housing.

[0011] The 360-degree rotating connector is characterized in that: the two ends of the outer shell are provided with steps for positioning the female head shell and the male head shell respectively.

[0012] The advantages of this 360-degree rotating connector are as follows: the connector makes slidable contact with the contact ring of the wiring pin through the male PING pin (spring pin), which has the advantages of convenient installation and good stability.

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the 360-degree rotating connector of this utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the 360-degree rotating connector of this utility model;

[0016] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the female connector of this utility model;

[0017] Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of the male connector of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, the 360-degree rotating connector of this utility model includes a housing 1, a female connector 2 rotatably mounted inside the housing 1, and a male connector 3 fixed inside the housing 1. The female connector 2 includes a cylindrical female housing 4, a female PING pin 5 riveted to the center of the female housing 4, and a wiring pin 6 riveted to one side of the female housing 4. A contact ring 7 is provided at the top of the wiring pin 6. The male connector 3 includes a male housing 8 and a male PING pin 9 riveted inside the male housing 8. The top of the male PING pin 9 contacts the female PING pin 5 and the contact ring 7, respectively. The female housing 4 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 1, and the male housing 8 is riveted inside the housing 1. After assembly, the housing 1 positions the female housing 4 and the male housing 8 via steps 17 at both ends.

[0019] Preferably, the male PING pin 9 includes a needle tube 10, a spring 11 disposed within the needle tube 10, and a retractable needle tip 12 disposed at the front end of the needle tube 10.
