Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of connectors, and in particular to an easy-to-use connector. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors, as indispensable components in electronic devices, are fundamentally designed to efficiently and safely transmit current and signals. Among numerous electrical connection solutions, the mating design of male plugs and female sockets is widely favored for its convenience, stability, and safety. This design not only simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of equipment but also ensures high reliability of the connection, serving as a crucial cornerstone for the interconnection of electronic devices.

[0003] However, in existing connector designs, although the mating mechanism between the male plug and the female socket is relatively mature, there are still some details that need optimization. Specifically, a common connector design achieves physical connection through multiple prongs on the male plug and corresponding holes in the female socket. To further enhance the stability of the connection, designers usually install a locking block on the outside of the female socket and a locking hook fixed on the outside of the male plug. When the male plug and female socket are fully mated, the locking hook will deform slightly due to force, causing the locking block and locking hook to engage and secure the connection.

[0004] While this design excels in enhancing connection stability, it reveals some issues during unlocking and disengagement. Because the locking hook is often compact and relatively rigid, it requires considerable force from the user. When pressing the hook with their fingers, improper or excessive force can easily cause the fingers to slip relative to the hook's tip; in extreme cases, this slippage can even lead to cuts from the sharp edge of the hook's tip, posing a safety hazard and indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a user-friendly connector that solves the problem in the aforementioned related technologies where, when a user presses the connector to unlock, their finger may slide relative to the end of the locking hook, which in severe cases may even cause the finger to be scratched by the sharp edge of the locking hook end.

[0006] The easy-to-use connector provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A user-friendly connector includes a male plug and a female socket. The male plug has a plurality of prongs fixedly mounted on it, and the female socket has slots for inserting the prongs. A locking block is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the female socket. A support block is fixedly mounted on the male plug, and a locking plate is fixedly mounted on the support block, extending to the outside of the prongs and parallel to the length direction of the prongs. A locking notch is provided on the side of the locking plate facing the prongs for inserting the locking block. A pressing protrusion is fixedly mounted on the outer periphery of the end of the locking plate away from the prongs. The pressing protrusion is located on the side of the locking plate away from the male plug, and the side of the pressing protrusion away from the male plug has an inclined surface.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the setting of the pressing protrusion and the inclined surface on the pressing protrusion, when the user presses the locking plate with his / her finger, he / she can press along the inclined surface to press the pressing protrusion, thereby causing the locking plate to undergo slight deformation; thus reducing the possibility of relative slippage between the finger and the locking plate when pressing, and improving the performance of the connector.

[0009] Optionally, the male plug has an elastic sealing ring fixed on its side near the plug rod, and the female socket has an annular sealing groove for the elastic sealing ring to be inserted.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the male plug and female socket are assembled, the elastic sealing ring is inserted into the corresponding annular sealing groove to fill the gap between the male plug and female socket, thereby improving the connection stability between the male plug and female socket.

[0011] Optionally, a limiting plate is fixed on the opposite two sides of the male plug, and a limiting notch is provided on the outer side of the female socket for the limiting plate to be inserted.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the male plug and female socket are assembled, the limiting plate on the male plug is inserted into the limiting notch on the outer side of the female socket, thereby further improving the connection stability between the male plug and the female socket.

[0013] Optionally, the limiting plate is provided with an elastic snap-fit ​​component, and the inner wall of the limiting notch is provided with a positioning groove for the elastic snap-fit ​​component to be inserted.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the limiting plate is inserted into the limiting notch, the elastic snap-fit ​​component is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove, thereby improving the stability of the limiting plate when it is inserted into the limiting notch.

[0015] Optionally, a fixing block is fixedly provided on the limiting plate, and a fixing groove for the fixing block to be embedded is provided on the outer side of the male plug.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the limiting plate is installed on the male plug, the fixing block is embedded in the fixing groove, thereby realizing the quick installation of the limiting plate.

[0017] Optionally, the fixing block is provided with locking teeth, and the inner wall of the fixing groove is provided with a tooth groove for the locking teeth to be inserted.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixing block is inserted into the corresponding fixing groove, the locking teeth on the fixing block are embedded into the corresponding tooth groove due to the cooperation of the locking teeth and tooth grooves, thereby improving the installation stability of the fixing block in the fixing groove, and also improving the installation stability of the limit plate and the male plug.

[0019] Optionally, an elastic pad is fixed on the side of the limiting plate away from the male plug.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after the locking block disengages from the locking notch, the user can better separate the male plug and female socket by holding the elastic pad on the limiting plate.

[0021] Optionally, the elastic pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fingers hold the elastic pad to separate the male plug and female socket, the possibility of relative loosening between the fingers and the surface of the elastic pad is reduced.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. When the user presses the locking plate with their finger, they can press along the inclined surface to press the protrusion, which causes the locking plate to deform slightly; this reduces the possibility of relative slippage between the finger and the locking plate when pressing, and improves the performance of the connector.

[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A user-friendly connector includes a male plug 1 and a female socket 2, wherein the male plug 1 is provided with six prongs 11 arranged side by side, and the female socket 2 is provided with a slot 21 for inserting the prongs 11; a locking block 22 is integrally formed on the outer side of the female socket 2.

[0040] The male plug 1 has an integrally formed support block 12, and the support block 12 has an integrally formed locking plate 13 extending to the outside of the plug rod 11 and parallel to the length direction of the plug rod 11. The locking plate 13 has a locking notch 131 on the side facing the plug rod 11 for the locking block 22 to be inserted.

[0041] When the male plug 1 and female socket 2 are assembled and plugged in, first insert the six plugs 11 into the corresponding slots 21. Then, the user presses the edge of the locking plate 13 to make the locking plate 13 rotate slightly around the support block 12, so that the locking block 22 is inserted into the locking notch 131 on the locking plate 13. After stopping the pressing, the locking plate 13 is reset.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A pressing protrusion 132 is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the end of the locking plate 13 away from the plug 11. The pressing protrusion 132 is located on the side of the locking plate 13 away from the male plug 1, and the side of the pressing protrusion 132 away from the male plug 1 is provided with an inclined surface 1321. When the user presses the locking plate 13 with his / her finger, he / she can press the pressing protrusion 132 along the inclined surface 1321, thereby causing the locking plate 13 to undergo slight deformation.

[0043] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0044] When the male plug 1 and the female socket 2 are assembled and plugged in, the six prongs 11 are first inserted into the corresponding slots 21. Then, the user presses the pressing protrusion 132 to make the locking plate 13 rotate slightly around the support block 12 and deform. Then, the locking block 22 is inserted into the locking notch 131 on the locking plate 13. After the pressing stops, the locking plate 13 is reset.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a limiting plate 4 is fixed on the opposite two sides of the male plug 1, and a limiting notch 24 for the limiting plate 4 to be inserted is formed on the outer side of the female socket 2; when the male plug 1 and the female socket 2 are plugged in, the limiting plate 4 is simultaneously inserted into the limiting notch 24.

[0047] A fixing block 41 is integrally formed on the side of the limiting plate 4 near the male plug 1, and a locking tooth 411 is fixed on the fixing block 41. A fixing groove 14 for the fixing block 41 to be inserted is opened on the outer side of the male plug 1, and a tooth groove 141 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing groove 14. When the limiting plate 4 is installed on the male plug 1, the fixing block 41 is inserted into the fixing groove 14, and the locking tooth 411 on the fixing block 41 is embedded into the corresponding tooth groove 141.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 The limiting plate 4 is provided with an elastic snap-fit ​​component 5, which includes a compression spring 51 and an arc-shaped protrusion 52. The limiting plate 4 is provided with a placement groove 42 for the compression spring 51 and the arc-shaped protrusion 52 to be inserted. The compression spring 51 compresses the arc-shaped protrusion 52, causing a part of the arc-shaped protrusion 52 to protrude from the opening of the placement groove 42. The protruding part of the arc-shaped protrusion 52 is an arc surface, and the arc length corresponding to this arc surface is a minor arc. At the same time, a positioning groove 241 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting notch 24. When the limiting plate 4 is inserted into the limiting notch 24, the protruding part of the arc-shaped protrusion 52 is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 241 under the compression of the compression spring 51.

[0049] Reference Figure 8 On the side of the limiting plate 4 away from the male plug 1, there is a rubber elastic pad 43 fixed with glue, and the elastic pad 43 is provided with anti-slip texture 431; when the locking block 22 is disengaged from the locking notch 131, the user can hold the elastic pad 43 on the limiting plate 4 to separate the male plug 1 and the female socket 2.

[0050] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 The male plug 1 has a rubber elastic sealing ring 3 fixed to the side near the plug 11 by glue, and the female socket 2 has an annular sealing groove 23. After the male plug 1 and the female socket 2 are assembled, the elastic sealing ring 3 is inserted into the corresponding annular sealing groove 23.

[0051] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0052] After the male plug 1 and female socket 2 are assembled, the elastic sealing ring 3 is inserted into the corresponding annular sealing groove 23, the limiting plate 4 is inserted into the limiting notch 24, and the protruding part of the arc-shaped protrusion 52 is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 241 under the compression of the compression spring 51.

[0053] When it is necessary to separate the male plug 1 and the female socket 2, and the locking block 22 disengages from the locking notch 131, the user can hold the elastic pad 43 on the limiting plate 4 to better separate the male plug 1 and the female socket 2.
