[0002] A charging connector is used to connect a power source to a device to enable charging. Whether it's a Micro USB interface, Type-C interface, or Lightning interface, they are all widely used in mobile phone charging. These interfaces not only support fast charging but also enable data transfer and synchronization. Existing charging connectors can basically meet daily usage needs, but they still have some shortcomings. For example, most charging connectors are made of plastic, which is easily damaged and not durable. Furthermore, the data cable connectors are horizontally connected with the cable exiting directly, making them inconvenient to use and taking up a lot of space. Also, the connectors cannot be disassembled; if one end of the connector is damaged, the entire data cable becomes unusable, resulting in waste. Therefore, designing a new type of charging connector is essential. Utility Model Content

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a second inner cavity is provided inside the second housing, and the second inner cavity is connected to one end of the second half cavity.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a first side outlet and a second side outlet are respectively opened at one end of the first side shell and the second side shell, and the second side outlet and the first side outlet are interconnected.

[0011] This utility model provides a novel charging connector with the following advantages: The connector's overall structure is composed of a first shell, a second shell, a first side shell, a second side shell, and a connecting cap, all made of metal, replacing traditional plastic materials. This design is environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and has a long service life. Simultaneously, the first and second side shells form the connector's outlet structure, allowing for downward cable routing, making it more convenient to use, saving space, and minimizing its size for easy carrying. During assembly, the mating post on the first shell engages with the mating hole to limit the second shell's position, allowing the first and second half-threads to interlock and form a unified columnar thread structure. This structure then connects to the threaded groove inside the connecting cap, completing the assembly and fixation. The connector can be completely disassembled by releasing the connecting cap from the first and second half-threads; if one part is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance costs for consumers.
