[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, specifically to a mating connector. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electronic device connectivity, connectors are widely used for signal and power transmission between various circuit boards and devices. Traditional connectors often employ a simple plug and socket structure, achieving circuit connection through direct insertion of the male and female terminals. However, this simple structure is prone to problems such as loose connections and poor contact when used for a long time or subjected to external impacts, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the circuit.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional connectors often lack sufficient consideration for connection stability during the design and manufacturing process. For example, some connectors lack an effective locking mechanism after mating, making them prone to detachment under vibration or impact, further exacerbating the problem of connection instability. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a plug-in connector that enables quick plug-in connection and is easy to operate. The entire connector structure mainly includes two parts: a first connector 1 and a second connector 2 for plug-in connection. The first connector 1 and the second connector 2 can conduct electricity after being connected by plugging.

[0025] The first connector 1 includes a first housing 101. One end of the first housing 101 is provided with an adjacent first groove 102 and a first protrusion 103. A plurality of first male ends 104 are provided in the first groove 102, and a plurality of first female ends 105 are provided in the first protrusion 103.

[0026] The second connector 2 includes a second housing 201. One end of the second housing 201 is provided with an adjacent second groove 202 and a second protrusion 203. A plurality of second male ends 204 are provided in the second groove 202, and a plurality of second female ends 205 are provided in the second protrusion 203.

[0027] When the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are plugged in, the first protrusion 103 is first inserted into the second groove 202, and simultaneously, the second protrusion 203 is inserted into the first groove 102. This structure allows the user to quickly identify the connection direction, avoiding blind plugging. When the above structure is plugged in, the first male end 104 and the second female end 205 conduct electricity after plugging in, and the second male end 204 and the first female end 105 conduct electricity after plugging in. The positions and numbers of the first male end 104 and the second female end 205 correspond, and the positions and numbers of the second male end 204 and the first female end 105 also correspond.

[0028] In order to better allow the first male end 104 to be inserted into and contact the second female end 205, and to allow the second male end 204 to be inserted into and contact the first female end 105, the first protrusion 103 is provided with a plurality of first holes 106 that correspond one-to-one with the first female end 105, and the second protrusion 203 is provided with a plurality of second holes 206 that correspond one-to-one with the second female end 205.

[0029] After the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are connected by a mating joint, a first locking member 3 is inserted into the outside of the first housing 101 to lock with the second protrusion 203, and a second locking member 4 is inserted into the outside of the second housing 201 to lock with the first protrusion 103, for locking and fixing the two connectors. In order to enhance the sealing performance after the two connectors are connected, a sealing ring 6 is sandwiched between the first housing 101 and the second housing 201, which enhances the internal dustproof and waterproof effects.

[0030] In addition, to facilitate the user's plugging and unplugging of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, anti-slip parts 5 are provided on the outer side of both the first housing 101 and the second housing 201. The anti-slip parts 5 can increase the surface friction and prevent the user from slipping during installation or disassembly.

[0031] To facilitate power connection, the ends of the first male terminal 104 and the first female terminal 105 that are away from the second connector 2 both extend outward from the first housing 101, and the ends of the second male terminal 204 and the second female terminal 205 that are away from the first connector 1 both extend outward from the second housing 201.

[0032] Compared with traditional technology, the connector provided by this utility model has grooves and protrusions in both connector heads for mating connection. After the corresponding grooves and protrusions of the two connectors are connected, the connection is more robust, and the corresponding male and female ends can make smooth contact with conductivity. This not only protects the conductive male and female ends, but also facilitates assembly and improves the stability of the connection.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
