Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of plug technology, specifically a connecting plug. Background Technology

[0002] These include charging plugs used on solar panels, connection plugs that provide internet connectivity and specific data services, and connection plugs for multi-interface bridges.

[0003] In existing technologies, these connectors can be easily plugged into and unplugged into external sockets. Users typically apply force indirectly to the data connection components through the insulating components to facilitate insertion and removal of the interface from the external socket. During repeated operations, it is relatively easy for the data connection components and the insulating components to become loose, especially at the external socket. Alternatively, due to accidental force, the insulating components and the data connection components may generate a force exceeding the preset limit, causing the relative positions of the data connection components and the insulating components to shift. This can lead to problems such as the internal data connection structure failing to maintain a stable connection, internal circuits breaking due to misalignment or pulling, or abnormal deformation of the interface, resulting in decreased data connection stability or complete failure to connect normally.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the connector provided in this application has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This application provides a connector plug, in which an insulating component has an extension extending toward the interface end. The extension abuts against the interface end to provide better support. When the interface end and the insulating component are subjected to forces, the interface end will experience significant bending stress. In this case, the extension can effectively share the bending stress, reducing the risk of the bending stress on the interface end exceeding a preset range, thereby achieving better protection for the interface end. Furthermore, by having a connecting portion on the extension, the connecting portion can be directly connected to a data connector. When a data connection is established between the interface end and the external socket, the data connector can provide a stable connection between the interface end and the external socket. For example, the data connector can engage with the corresponding structure of the external socket through a snap-fit ​​structure, ensuring that the connector plug and the external socket do not become abnormally loose or separate during data transmission, thus ensuring continuous, normal, and stable data transmission.

[0018] 2. This application provides a connector plug, wherein the upper housing also has a reinforcing block, and the second sealing edge is located between the reinforcing block and the first sealing edge. As the second sealing edge is assembled and inserted into the first sealing groove, the reinforcing block will squeeze the second sealing edge to increase the squeezing force between the second sealing edge and the first sealing edge, effectively strengthening the sealing performance between the second sealing edge and the first sealing edge, and also improving the firmness of the cover between the upper housing and the lower housing, reducing problems such as loosening or poor sealing between the upper housing and the lower housing due to local deformation of the upper housing or the lower housing.

[0019] 3. This application provides a connector plug, which avoids the formation of an assembly reference surface between the bottom surface of the first sealing groove and the top surface of the first sealing groove during the assembly of the upper and lower housings by pre-setting an assembly gap between the second sealing edge and the top surface of the first sealing groove, thus ensuring the stability of the assembled product quality.

The base can be placed in the assembly groove of the lower housing. The assembly groove has a first limiting block, which can effectively limit the base. The first limiting block can abut against the side of the base and the bottom surface of the assembly edge to restrict the multi-directional and multi-angle freedom of the data connection component. Furthermore, the upper housing has a second limiting block. When the upper housing and the lower housing are fully assembled to a preset position, the second limiting block will abut against the top surface of the assembly edge, realizing a complete fixed connection between the data connection component and the insulating component.

[0044] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0045] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the application; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" can mean not only "only one" but also "more than one."

[0046] It should also be further understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0047] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0049] like Figures 1-13As shown, this embodiment provides a connector plug 100, including a data connection component 200 and an insulating component 300. The data connection component 200 is a circuit board with power lines or data lines, or an integrated component capable of establishing electrical signals or other signals. The data connection component 200 is assembled with the insulating component 300, which partially encloses the data connection component 200, allowing the interface end 210 of the data connection component 200 to protrude from the insulating component 300 for establishing a connection between the data connection component 200 and an external socket 600. For example, a USB data interface can be referenced, but it should be noted that this application is not limited to a specific standard data interface or standard circuit interface. That is, users or staff can hold the insulating component 300 and insert the interface end 210 of the data connection component 200 into the corresponding external socket 600. The insulating component 300 can enclose and support the non-interface end 220 of the data connection component 200, thus isolating the non-interface end 220 from the external environment, and also facilitating the user to pick up the connector for insertion. The term "wrapping" is understood as a protective enclosure for the non-interface terminal 220, creating a protective space within which the non-interface terminal 220 is placed. This space prevents external environmental factors such as water, ambient temperature, external humidity, impacts, and dust from affecting the non-interface terminal 220, ensuring the long-term normal operation of the data connection component 200. Therefore, whether the enclosure must guarantee an absolute seal inside and outside the insulating component 300 depends on the specific protection requirements of each connector plug 100 and is not limited to a completely sealed protection range. Regarding the "insulation" in the insulating component 300: it does not require the insulating component 300 to use entirely insulating materials. It only needs to ensure that, in the event of a circuit in the data connection component 200, no abnormal continuity is established between the circuit and the external connection, ensuring safety and normal product operation. Regarding the understanding of interface terminal 210 and non-interface terminal 220: The main purpose of interface terminal 210 is to ensure that the connector 100 and the corresponding matching external socket 600 are quickly established for data connection. It can also be quickly separated as needed. Generally, the external socket 600 is a socket shape, and interface terminal 210 can be inserted into the socket, establishing a stable mechanical connection between the connector 100 and the external socket 600. Under conditions where the preset force is not exceeded, the relative position between the connector 100 and the external socket 600 will not change significantly due to external forces, and the normal data connection will not be affected. External forces include forces applied to the corresponding structures of the external socket 600 and the connector 100, as well as changes in the relative force between the external socket 600 and the connector 100 due to overall motion. Examples include: changes in force between the external socket 600 and the connector 100 under variable velocity inertia, centrifugal force, vibration, etc., but are not limited to these.The connector 100 in this application is commonly used in the field of solar energy technology, such as solar charging connectors, connectors that provide networking and specific data services, or connectors for multi-interface bridges, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0050] In the prior art, the connector 100 can be easily plugged into and unplugged into the external socket 600. Generally, users will indirectly apply force to the data connection component 200 through the insulating component 300 to make the interface end 210 insert and pull out of the external socket 600. During repeated operations, it is easy for the data connection component 200 and the insulating component 300 to become loose, especially at the external socket 600. Or, due to accidental force, the insulating component 300 and the data connection component 200 may generate a force exceeding the preset limit, causing the relative position between the data connection component 200 and the insulating component 300 to shift. This can lead to problems such as the internal data connection structure being unable to effectively and stably connect, or internal circuits being pulled and broken, or the interface end 210 being abnormally deformed, resulting in problems such as decreased data connection stability or complete inability to connect normally.

[0051] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a relatively stable and reliable connector 100. The purpose is to increase the robustness of the connection between the data connection component 200 and the insulation component 300, particularly the robust limiting function of the interface end 210, to ensure a more stable and effective data connection process. Even under significant external forces, it ensures a stable and reliable connection between the data connection component 200 and the insulation component 300 of the connector 100. In particular, it enhances the limiting and supporting effect on the interface end 210, reducing the possibility of abnormal deformation of the interface end 210.

[0052] Therefore, a representative embodiment is given. It should be emphasized that this embodiment is only a representative embodiment to facilitate clear understanding and specific implementation of this application, and does not mean that the scope of this application is limited to this embodiment. Specifically, a connector plug 100 in this embodiment includes a data connection component 200 and an insulation component 300. The interface end 210 of the data connection component 200 can be quickly plugged into and unplugged into the corresponding external socket 600 to quickly establish and quickly cancel the data connection state between the data connection component 200 and the external socket 600. In addition to the interface end 210, the data connection component 200 also includes a non-interface end 220. The non-interface end 220 is generally located inside the insulating component 300. The insulating component 300 supports and encloses the non-interface end 220 to isolate it from the outside world. The insulating component 300 supports the non-interface end 220, so that the non-interface end 220 and the insulating component 300 maintain a stable connection. In particular, it can prevent the relative position of the non-interface end 220 and the insulating component 300 from changing beyond the preset range, which would affect the normal use of the connector plug 100. Since both the non-interface terminal 220 and the interface terminal 210 are part of the data connection component 200, they generally share an integrated circuit board. Therefore, the state of the non-interface terminal 220 directly affects the state of the interface terminal 210. When the non-interface terminal 220 is firmly supported by the insulating component 300, the interface terminal 210 achieves a relatively stable position relative to the insulating component 300. This allows the user to more stably insert the interface terminal 210 into the external connector 600 when handling the insulating component 300. However, because the interface terminal 210 extends away from the insulating component 300, if it is subjected to a force in a direction other than the preset one—for example, during insertion or removal, if the interface terminal 210 is not inserted or removed strictly in the preset direction from the external connector 600—a force in a direction other than the preset one may occur between the interface terminal 210 and the external connector 600.For example, the interface end 210 is subjected to the squeezing force of the side wall of the external socket 600. Since the operator often applies force to the insulating component 300 with their fingers, the connector plug 100 contains the force of the external socket 600 on the interface end 210 and the force applied by the operator to the insulating component 300. The two forces are located at the two ends near the connector plug 100, and the two forces generally tend to be in opposite directions. This causes the connector plug 100 to be subjected to bending stress as a whole. In particular, the interface end 210 of the data connection component 200 will be subjected to a large bending moment. In addition, most of the interface end 210 and the insulating component 300 do not have a direct connection relationship, which makes the interface end 210, especially the part of the interface end 210 far away from the shell, easily in an unstable state. When the bending stress applied to the connector plug 100 exceeds the preset range, it is easy to cause the interface end 210 to deform or the data connection component 200 and the insulating component 300 to loosen, which in turn causes a change in the relative position between the interface end 210 and the insulating component 300. Such changes are generally understood as exceeding the preset range. For minor material deformation or slight misalignment between components, where the deformation or misalignment does not significantly affect the normal use of the application, it is generally understood as a change within the preset range. When such changes exceed the preset range, it will cause the interface terminal 210 to be in an unstable or abnormal state, thus easily leading to instability or abnormal states in the data connection. Since the existing interface terminal 210 lacks an effective support structure, this instability risk is relatively high. Therefore, this embodiment further provides that the insulating component 300 has an extension 310 facing the interface end 210. The extension 310 abuts against the interface end 210. Generally, the abutment area of ​​the extension 310 against the interface end 210 is preferably as large as possible without affecting the normal use of this application, so that the extension 310 has a better supporting force on the interface end 210. When the interface end 210 and the insulating component 300 are subjected to forces respectively, the interface end 210 will be subjected to a large bending stress. At this time, the extension 310 can effectively share the above-mentioned bending stress, reduce the risk that the bending stress on the interface end 210 exceeds the preset range, so as to achieve a better reinforcement protection for the interface end 210. Furthermore, by having a connecting part 311 on the extension 310, the connecting part 311 can be directly connected to the data connector 400. When a data connection is established between the interface end 210 and the external socket 600, the data connector 400 can play a role in stably connecting the interface end 210 and the external socket 600. For example, the structure on the data connector 400 can be engaged with the corresponding structure of the external socket 600 to ensure that the connector plug 100 and the external socket 600 will not become abnormally loose or separate during data transmission, thereby ensuring the continuous, normal and stable transmission of data.Of course, the data connector 400 can also serve a guiding function, reducing the excessive force between the connector 100 and the external socket 600. For example, when an operator inserts or removes the connector 100 into the external socket 600 in a non-preset direction, the data connector 400 can provide excellent cushioning against this non-preset direction. Furthermore, the data connector 400 can establish a temporary locking connection with the external socket 600, ensuring stability during connection and facilitating quick insertion and removal by the user. Furthermore, since the data connector 400 is mainly connected to the extension 310 via the connecting part 311, and the extension 310 is directly connected to the insulating component 300, when the data connector 400 is subjected to abnormal forces, such as abnormal operation causing a large force between the data connector 400 and the external socket 600, the data connector 400 can directly transmit the stress to the connecting part 311, the extension 310, and the insulating component 300. This reduces the direct impact of external forces on the data connection component 200 and ensures the safe operation of important circuits or components inside the data connection component 200. Regarding the extension 310, which is part of the insulating component 300, it is generally designed as an integrated unit with the insulating component 300 to better support the interface end 210 and improve its compressive strength. For example, the insulating component 300 includes an upper housing 320 and a lower housing 330. The extension 310 can be formed by extending outward from the lower housing 330. Therefore, the extension 310 can be part of the lower housing 330. In the design process, an integrated design can be adopted. In the processing process, if the lower housing 330 is made of plastic, the extension 310 and the lower housing 330 can be integrally injection molded. Of course, the scope of this application is not limited to this. For example, it can also be formed by welding metal materials. In order to achieve the insulation effect, the outer surface of the metal material can be coated or wrapped with other non-insulating materials. Alternatively, the extension 310 can be bonded to the lower housing 330. Of course, the extension 310 can also extend directly from the upper housing 320 towards the interface end 210 to achieve the supporting function. It should be noted that the insulating component 300 in this application does not mean that non-insulating materials are not used at all. It simply means that the data lines or electronic components inside the connector plug 100 are generally kept insulated or partially insulated from the external environment. For example, if a detection port for external connection is provided in the insulation component 300 to meet the requirements of safety testing of the connector 100, the insulation component 300 may establish a partially non-insulated area with the outside world, which is also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] In one embodiment, the connector 100 includes the data connector 400 as a component. In this case, the connector 100 includes the data connector 400. However, it should be emphasized that in other embodiments, even if the connector 100 does not include the data connector 400, it will still fall within the scope of one or more implementations of this application. The connector 100 that includes the data connector 400 is more convenient to use directly. Of course, it can also be used to temporarily connect the external data connector 400 to more conveniently and freely match different models of external sockets 600, or even non-standard external sockets 600, and is not limited to this.

[0054] Furthermore, the data connector 400 can be a connector 410, such as a crystal head 411, which is connected to the crystal head 411 through the connecting part 311. The connecting part 311 can be a first slot 3111, which can engage with the corresponding structure of the crystal head 411 to establish a stable connection between the connecting part 311 and the crystal head 411. In other words, the crystal head 411 can establish a stable connection with other structures of the connector plug 100 through the connecting part 311, ensuring that the connector plug 100 can be more easily plugged into and unplugged from the external socket 600. To further enhance the connection between the crystal head 411 and the connecting part 311, multiple first slots 3111 can be designed, such as two. When there are two slots, a first protrusion 3112 will be present between the two first slots 3111. The first protrusion 3112 can abut against the second protrusion 4111 on the crystal head 411, so that the connecting part 311 and the crystal head 411 are firmly connected. One assembly embodiment is illustrated: for example, the specific assembly method is that the second protrusion 4111 on the crystal head 411 and the crystal head body structure, that is, the other structures of the crystal head 411 other than the second protrusion 4111, can have the ability to change their relative positions. There are many ways to achieve this, such as: the second protrusion 4111 and the crystal head body can be connected by an elastic element to form a sliding connection. When subjected to a force exceeding the preset value, the second protrusion 4111 and the crystal head body will undergo a relative position change in a preset direction; or the second protrusion 4111 itself can be made of a flexible material, so that the second protrusion 4111 will undergo overall or partial elastic deformation when subjected to a force; or the second protrusion 4111 and the crystal head body can be elastically connected, etc., and are not limited to these methods. This design ensures that during the assembly of the crystal head 411, by inserting the interface end 210 and the extension 310 into the preset socket of the crystal head 411, the second protrusion 4111 in the crystal head 411 will first be guided into one of the first slots as insertion progresses. Then, during the assembly process where the crystal head 411 and the extension 310 undergo further relative movement, the second protrusion 4111 will be squeezed by the first protrusion 3112, causing a relative positional change between the second protrusion 4111 and the first protrusion 3112. Generally, the second protrusion 4111 will bend and deform under the pressure, eventually allowing the second protrusion 4111 to smoothly pass over the first protrusion 3112 and smoothly enter the other first slot 3111. When the crystal head 411 and the interface end 210 have a tendency to separate in the opposite direction, there is a blocking force between the second protrusion 4111 and the first protrusion 3112 to prevent the crystal head 411 from sliding further away from the interface end 210.In other embodiments, multiple first slots 3111 are used, and multiple first protrusions 3112 can be established between the multiple first slots 3111 to adjust the relative position between the crystal head 411 and the extension 310 to meet different installation requirements. When the second protrusion 4111 is subjected to a force exceeding a preset range, the first protrusion 3112 can overcome the resistance of the second protrusion 4111, allowing the crystal head 411 to separate from the interface end 210. In other embodiments, the second protrusion 4111 can also be interacted with by an auxiliary tool or the operator's hand. For example, pressing the second protrusion 4111 directly with a finger or indirectly moving it with other auxiliary tools can cause the second protrusion 4111 to move relative to the crystal head body, thereby canceling or weakening the mutual obstruction and limiting ability between the second protrusion 4111 and the first protrusion 3112, making it easier for the user to separate the crystal head 411 from the interface end 210.

[0055] In one embodiment, the insulating assembly 300 includes an upper housing 320 and a lower housing 330, which are fastened together. To protect the non-interface end 220, the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 can be enclosed to form a accommodating space 335. The accommodating space 335 can conveniently accommodate, protect, and limit the installation of the non-interface end 220. An extension 310 is located on the lower housing 330 and supports the interface end 210. Normally, the extension 310 can abut against the bottom surface of the interface end 210. To further enhance the limiting effect of the extension 310 on the interface end 210, a first limiting part 312 is provided on the side of the extension 310 facing the interface end 210. The interface end 210 has a first limiting groove 211, and the first limiting part 312 and the first limiting groove 211 are connected in a limiting manner. Of course, in other embodiments, it is not excluded that the first limiting part 312 is disposed on the data connection component 200 and the first limiting groove 211 is located on the extension part 310, and it is not limited thereto. The number of first limiting parts 312 can be set to two, and the two first limiting parts 312 are not equidistant from the end face of the interface end 210. That is, when the connector 100 is inserted into the external socket 600, the two first limiting parts 312 are at different insertion depths in the external socket 600. The purpose is that when the connector 100 is inserted into the external socket 600, the interface end 210 is subjected to a force in a non-preset direction, or the interface end 210 of the connector 100 is subjected to a force in a non-preset direction from other external objects, causing a change in the relative position between the interface end 210 and the extension 310. The first limiting parts 312 and the first limiting groove 211 can better limit and connect the interface end 210 and the extension 310 together. The first limiting parts 312 are set at different positions, which can better provide effective limiting support for the extension 310 at different extension distances. At the same time, during the installation process, the installation accuracy between the extension 310 and the interface end 210 can also be ensured.

[0056] In one embodiment, the upper shell 320 includes a first body 321 and a first enclosing edge portion 322, and the lower shell 330 includes a second body 331 and a second enclosing edge portion 332. A cavitation space 335 can be formed between the first enclosing edge portion 322, the first body 321, the second enclosing edge portion 332, and the second body 331. This is because the first enclosing edge portion 322 extends from the edge of the first body 321 toward a direction at a certain preset angle to the reference plane of the first body 321, forming a three-dimensional spatial structure. This can be further understood as the first enclosing edge portion 322 and the first body 321 not being coplanar, so that the first enclosing edge portion 322 and the first body 321 are not coplanar, thus forming a cavitation space 335. A first enclosing groove 323 is formed between the edge portion 322 and the first body 321. Similar to the upper shell 320, the lower shell 330 forms a second enclosing groove 333 by relying on the second body 331 and the second enclosing edge portion 332. When the upper shell 320 and the lower shell 330 are closed, the first enclosing edge portion 322 and the second enclosing edge portion 332 are fitted together, which will cause the opening of the first enclosing groove 323 to be sealed by the lower shell 330, and the opening of the second enclosing groove 333 to be sealed by the upper shell 320. An interconnected volumetric space 335 is formed between the first enclosing groove 323 and the second enclosing groove 333.

[0057] Furthermore, to ensure that the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 will not easily separate after being closed, or to ensure a predetermined sealing effect between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330, without the need for other auxiliary connecting materials, such as adhesive, to bond the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 together quickly and effectively, a first sealing edge 3221 and a first sealing groove 3222 are provided on the first enclosing edge portion 322, and a second sealing edge 3321 is provided on the second enclosing edge portion 332. The first sealing groove 3222 corresponds to the second sealing edge 3321, and the second sealing groove 3322 corresponds to the first sealing edge 3221, so that during the closing process between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330, the first sealing edge 3221 is located on the outer periphery of the second sealing edge 3321, or the second sealing edge 3321 is located on the outer periphery of the first sealing edge 3221, and there is a certain interference between the first sealing edge 3221 and the second sealing edge 3321, so as to ensure that there is a preset closing pre-tightening force between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second sealing edge 3321 is located inside the first sealing edge 3221. When the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 are in a snap-fit ​​state, the first sealing edge 3221 abuts against the bottom surface of the second sealing groove 3322, ensuring that the sides of the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 closest to the external environment are fully abutted, achieving a state without obvious gaps. This ensures that external hazardous substances will not enter into any obvious gaps, reducing the risk of external hazardous substances infiltrating into the container space 335. Hazardous substances refer to substances that affect the normal operation of the connector 100, such as water, dust, and gas. Furthermore, a first assembly gap 336 is preset between the second sealing edge 3321 and the top surface of the first sealing groove 3222. The purpose is to prevent the formation of assembly reference surfaces between the bottom surface of the first sealing groove 3222 and the top surface of the second sealing groove 3322 during the assembly of the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330. When the relative position or flatness deviation of the two reference surfaces exceeds the preset range, it will cause significant differences in the assembly state of the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 of each connector plug 100, thus affecting the stability of product quality. A gap groove 3223 is set on the outer side of the first sealing edge 3221 near the bottom surface of the second sealing groove 3322, so that a preset gap groove 3223 is left between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 in the external environment. This gap groove 3223 can be easily disassembled and assembled. At the same time, compared with the very small normal assembly gap, the size of the preset gap groove 3223 is relatively larger, making it less likely to trap contaminants that are difficult to clean. Even if there are contaminants, they are easier to clean. The second sealing edge 3321 has a guide slope 3323. The guide slope 3323 is generally located at the top of the second sealing edge 3321 near the first sealing edge 3221, so that during the assembly process, the guide slope 3323 guides the first sealing edge 3221 to be more smoothly introduced into the second sealing groove 3322.

[0059] In another embodiment, the upper housing 320 also has a reinforcing block 324, and the second sealing edge 3321 is located between the reinforcing block 324 and the first sealing edge 3221. As the second sealing edge 3321 is assembled and inserted into the first sealing groove 3222, the reinforcing block 324 will squeeze the second sealing edge 3321 to increase the squeezing force between the second sealing edge 3321 and the first sealing edge 3221, effectively strengthening the sealing performance between the second sealing edge 3321 and the first sealing edge 3221. At the same time, it also improves the firmness of the cover between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330, reducing problems such as loosening or poor sealing between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 due to local deformation of the upper housing 320 or the lower housing 330.

[0060] In one embodiment, to further improve the fixing effect of the data connection component 200 and reduce the risk of mutual shaking or misalignment between the data connection component 200 and the insulating component 300, the non-interface end 220 of the data connection component 200 is made to include a base 221 and an assembly edge 222. The base 221 can be placed in the assembly groove 334 of the lower housing 330. The assembly groove 334 has a first limiting block 337. The first limiting block 337 can effectively limit the base 221. The first limiting block 337 can abut against the side of the base 221 and the bottom surface of the assembly edge 222 to restrict the multi-directional and multi-angle degrees of freedom of the data connection component 200. Furthermore, a second limiting block 325 is provided on the upper housing 320. When the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 are fully assembled to a preset position, the second limiting block 325 abuts against the top surface of the assembly edge 222, achieving a complete and fixed connection between the data connection assembly 200 and the insulation assembly 300. The position of the second limiting block 325 is preferably at the top of the first limiting block 337. In some embodiments, the second limiting block 325 and the reinforcing block 324 can also be the same structure, so that the same structure simultaneously has the functions of the second limiting block 325 and the reinforcing block 324, thereby reducing material costs.

[0061] To further enhance the restriction effect on multiple points of the data connection component 200, a second limiting part 3371 is provided on the top of the first limiting block 337, and a second limiting groove 2221 is provided on the assembly edge 222. When the first limiting block 337 abuts against the assembly edge 222, the second limiting part 3371 on the first limiting block 337 will be inserted into the second limiting groove 2221, so that the first limiting block 337 can restrict more degrees of freedom of the data connection component 200.

[0062] In one embodiment, both the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 have mutually compatible engaging structures 500. Generally, for example, the lower housing 330 has a slot, and the upper housing 320 has a block; conversely, the upper housing 320 has a slot, and the lower housing 330 has a block, which is also valid. Alternatively, the upper housing 320 may have both a slot and a block, and the lower housing 330 may have a slot and a block that are compatible with those on the upper housing 320. Of course, in other embodiments, other methods are not excluded, such as using adhesive to strengthen the connection between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330, a magnetic connection structure, or relying on spring return to push the slider into the corresponding groove to achieve a more effective connection between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330, or common locking structures such as latches, etc., and are not limited to these.

[0063] This embodiment provides a specific representative example. The engaging structure 500 includes a first engaging block 510 and a second engaging slot 520. For instance, the first engaging block 510 is provided on the upper housing 320, and the lower housing 330 has a second engaging slot 520 adapted to the first engaging block 510. When the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 are closed together, the first engaging block 510 can be pushed into the second engaging slot 520 by a preset force. Under the springback deformation of the first engaging block 510, the first engaging block 510 will abut against the second engaging slot. Inside 520, when the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330 tend to separate, a blocking force is formed between the first locking block 510 and the second locking slot 520. This blocking force makes it difficult for the first locking block 510 to deform in this direction, thus preventing the first locking block 510 from separating from the second locking slot 520 through deformation. This achieves complete locking between the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330. However, the above structure makes it difficult to disassemble the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330. Therefore, in other embodiments of this application, it is not excluded to adopt a structure that can automatically separate under a preset force, or to use a key-like unlocking tool or a direct manual unlocking method, such as pushing a specific unlocking structure, to unlock the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330, facilitating quick and easy unlocking and separation of the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330, thereby avoiding destructive separation of the upper housing 320 and the lower housing 330.

[0064] In other embodiments, a reinforcing rib 530 can be provided at the second slot 520 position. The reinforcing rib 530 can strengthen the lower housing 330 at the second slot 520 position. On the one hand, it can improve the overall deformation resistance of the lower housing 330. On the other hand, it can more effectively avoid large deformation near the second slot 520 position, and ensure that there will be no accidental unlocking problem between the first locking block 510 and the second slot 520.

[0065] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this application.
