In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a female connector, including a socket 1 and multiple pins 2. The socket 1 has a positive insertion part 11 and a negative insertion part 12 at both ends. The positive insertion part 11 has multiple positive insertion holes 13, and the negative insertion part 12 has multiple negative insertion holes 14. The positive insertion holes 13 and the negative insertion holes 14 are connected to form an access channel. Both the positive insertion holes 13 and the negative insertion holes 14 can be connected to a male connector. Each access channel is connected to a pin 2. One end of the pin 2 is inserted into the access channel, and the other end of the pin 2 extends out of the access channel. The end of the pin 2 inserted into the access channel can contact the male connector.
[0035] Multiple positive insertion holes 13 and negative insertion holes 14 are closely arranged, thereby enabling a large number of connections in a limited space and reducing the size of the female connector. The male connector can be inserted into the female connector through the positive insertion part 11 and the negative insertion part 12, which can achieve quick insertion and removal in various application environments and improve the ease of use of the female connector.
[0036] For example, the reverse insertion part 12 is provided with a slot 15 for the pin 2 to be inserted. The pin 2 is embedded into the socket 1 through the slot 15. One end of the pin 2 extending out of the access channel is bent toward both sides of the socket 1 to avoid the pin 2 interfering with the connection between the male connector and the female connector.
[0037] Furthermore, one end of pin 2 extending out of the access channel is perpendicular to the reverse insertion part 12. The reverse insertion part 12 is provided with a groove for pin 2 to be inserted. Pin 2 is inserted into the groove through the opening of the stamped reverse insertion hole 14. On the one hand, this ensures that the male connector is inserted in place and ensures the reliability of the connection. On the other hand, pin 2 extends from both sides of the socket 1, which facilitates the soldering and installation of pin 2.
[0038] For example, the reverse insertion hole 14 is provided with a foolproof baffle 3, which is detachably connected to the reverse insertion part 12. When only the positive insertion end is used for connection, the foolproof baffle 3 prevents the male connector from being inserted into the access channel from the reverse insertion hole 14, and at the same time prevents dust and other objects from entering the access channel. When the reverse insertion end needs to be used for connection, the foolproof baffle 3 is removed, and the connection can be made through the reverse insertion end.
[0039] For example, the access channel is provided with a clamping plate 16 for clamping the connector to detach. The clamping plates 16 are symmetrically arranged. One end of the clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the socket 1, and the other end of the clamping plate 16 can elastically clamp the male connector. Furthermore, a limiting plate 18 is symmetrically arranged at the positive insertion hole 13 port. The limiting plate 18 is used to prevent the connector from detaching from the access channel. The clamping plate 16 is provided with a reverse insertion guide 17 at the end facing the reverse insertion hole 14. In this embodiment, the socket 1 is manufactured using injection molding. The limiting plate 18 and the clamping plate 16 are integrally connected. The properties of plastic give the clamping plate 16 a certain degree of elasticity. When the insertion end of the male connector is inserted into the access channel through the positive insertion hole 13, the clamping plate 16 presses outward to elastically clamp the insertion end of the male connector. At the same time, the limiting plate 18 confines the insertion end of the male connector within the access channel, further preventing the insertion end of the male connector from falling off and improving the stability of the female connector. When the male connector is inserted into the access channel through the reverse insertion hole 14, the reverse insertion guide 17 guides the insertion end of the male connector to the clamping plate 16, so that the clamping plate 16 can clamp the insertion end of the male connector.
[0040] For example, the access channel is provided with a positioning block 19, one end of which extends to the port of the positive socket 13, and the insertion end of the male connector can be inserted into the access channel through the positioning block 19.
[0041] For example, the socket 1 is provided with mounting handles 4 at both ends for easy installation.
[0042] Furthermore, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
