Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a starter, specifically a starter that automatically corrects the spacing. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, starter socket sleeves are used for connecting and fixing terminals. However, due to the high rigidity of the socket sleeves and the lack of an elastic buffer structure, the fit between the terminals and the sleeves can easily become too tight or poor during assembly. Specifically, some products require excessive insertion and extraction forces during assembly, resulting in an uneven insertion and extraction process. This not only affects assembly efficiency but may also cause deformation of the inner wall of the sleeve due to uneven stress, thereby affecting the lifespan and reliability of the socket. Figure 1 As shown. Furthermore, due to the lack of a limiting support structure inside the socket, the terminals lack effective support when inserted, making the socket prone to misalignment and further exacerbating the problem of poor insertion and removal, such as... Figure 2 As shown. Therefore, the existing starter technology has defects such as inconvenient operation, unstable insertion and extraction force, and deformation of the socket during the assembly process. There is an urgent need for a new structure that can effectively alleviate the difficulty of insertion and extraction, stabilize the insertion and extraction force, and reduce the deformation of the socket to improve the above-mentioned shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an automatic spacing correction starter that effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies by incorporating a bending step and a limiting block.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic spacing correction starter, including a socket, a terminal block and a housing, wherein the socket is disposed inside the housing, the terminal block is inserted into the socket, and the lower end of the socket sleeve is provided with a 0.5mm bending step, the bending step being used to provide elastic margin when the terminal block is inserted, so as to automatically correct the perpendicularity of the sleeve.

[0005] The housing has a limiting block inside, which is positioned directly opposite the socket to support the socket sleeve, maintain the verticality of the sleeve, and increase the assembly strength of the socket sleeve.

[0006] After the terminal block passes through the socket, the 0.5mm bend step creates a gap between the terminal block and the socket wall, allowing the terminal block to be smoothly inserted into the rear section of the starter with a feeling of insertion.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the socket includes a left-connected socket and a short-connected socket, both of which include a sleeve and a main body, and the bending step is provided at the limiting position of the sleeve and the main body.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the bending step bends towards the outer end of the insert.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the limiting block forms a stepped structure inside the outer shell.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the socket sleeve is made of an elastic material to provide elastic restoring force when the terminal is inserted by means of the bending step.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by adding a 0.5mm bending step at the lower end of the socket sleeve, the starter can automatically correct the verticality of the sleeve by utilizing the elastic margin of the bending step when the terminal is inserted, thereby effectively preventing the sleeve from deforming, ensuring that the insertion and extraction force is within the ideal range, and making the assembly process smoother.

[0012] In addition, the newly added limiting block structure inside the housing further supports the socket sleeve, which not only ensures the verticality of the sleeve, but also improves the assembly strength of the socket sleeve. While greatly reducing the deformation of the sleeve caused by excessive force during insertion and removal, it improves the overall structural reliability and service life of the starter, and significantly improves the assembly quality and operational stability.

[0020] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed herein, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0021] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the specific embodiment of the automatic spacing correction starter of this utility model, the starter includes a socket, a terminal 3, and a housing 1. The socket is disposed inside the housing 1 and can accommodate the insertion of the terminal 3. A 0.5mm bent step 6 is specially provided at the lower end of the socket's insert 4. This structural design provides a certain elastic margin when the terminal 3 is inserted into the socket, thereby automatically correcting the perpendicularity of the insert 4. The bent step 6 has a buffering effect, allowing slight elastic deformation of the socket insert 4 during the insertion of the terminal 3, ensuring that the terminal 3 can be smoothly inserted and achieve the ideal insertion and extraction force standard. This makes the insertion and extraction operation smoother and the insert 4 less prone to deformation, improving assembly quality and durability. The 0.5mm bent step 6 angle allows for better elastic deformation of the parts, and this size perfectly matches the center distance of the pin and the mating dimensions of the housing 1.

[0023] Inside the housing 1, there is also a limiting block 2, located directly opposite the socket, specifically designed to support the socket sleeve 4. The limiting block 2 is fixed by forming a stepped structure inside the housing 1, thus maintaining the perpendicularity of the sleeve 4 during the insertion of the terminal 3. Furthermore, the presence of the limiting block 2 not only supports the socket sleeve 4, preventing it from tilting or shifting during insertion and removal, but also enhances the overall assembly strength of the socket sleeve 4, preventing deformation of the sleeve 4 due to excessive force during insertion and removal, further improving the structural strength and assembly stability of the starter.

[0024] The socket includes a left-connected socket and a short-connected socket. Both types of sockets include a sleeve 4 and a main body 5, with a bending step 6 positioned at the limiting position between the sleeve 4 and the main body 5. This design not only ensures the stability of the sleeve 4 but also enables different types of sockets to automatically correct the perpendicularity of the sleeve 4. The bending step 6 bends towards the outer end of the sleeve 4. This structural arrangement effectively disperses local pressure during insertion and removal when the terminal 3 is inserted into the socket, thus ensuring stable insertion and removal force while further preventing deformation of the sleeve 4.

[0025] To enhance the elasticity of the socket sleeve 4, it is made of a material with good elasticity. Specifically, when the terminal 3 is inserted into the socket, the sleeve 4 can generate an elastic restoring force under the action of the bending step 6. This elastic restoring force ensures that the socket sleeve 4 can return to its initial state after the insertion and removal force disappears, providing the same ideal correction function for the next insertion and removal, while extending the service life of the socket. This embodiment effectively solves the problems of difficult insertion and removal and deformation of the sleeve 4 in traditional starter assembly through the reasonable combination of various structural designs, providing the starter with higher reliability and ease of use.

[0026] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
