[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] This embodiment provides a mating device for a connector. Specifically, see [link to documentation]. Figures 1-6As shown, the connector fitting device of this embodiment includes a current-carrying element 1 and at least one elastic element 2, which cooperates with the current-carrying element 1. At least one elastic bending arm 11 and a clamping engagement structure that cooperates with the bending arm 11 to form a clamping gap 10 are formed on the inner side of the current-carrying element 1. The bending arm 11 is formed by bending from the side wall 1a of the current-carrying element towards the inner side of the current-carrying element. An assembly gap 100 is formed between the bending arm 11 and the corresponding side wall 1a on the same side of the current-carrying element. The elastic element 2 is assembled within the assembly gap 100 on the corresponding side of the current-carrying element 1 and elastically abuts against the bending arm 11. For example, the bending arm body 111 is formed from the front end edge of the inner side wall of the current-carrying element.

[0037] In the connector of this embodiment, an elastic bending arm is formed on the inner side of the current-carrying member, and an assembly gap is formed between the bending arm and the sidewall on the same side of the current-carrying member. The elastic member is then assembled within this assembly gap and elastically abuts against the bending arm. Thus, through the elastic abutment between the elastic member and the bending arm of the current-carrying member, when the electrical component is clamped in the clamping gap of the current-carrying member, the elastic member can provide sufficient support force to the current-carrying fluid, thereby enhancing the firmness and stability of the clamping gap of the current-carrying member in holding the electrical component.

[0038] In addition, by setting the bending arm of the current-carrying component to fold inward and installing the elastic element in the clamping gap formed by the bending arm and the clamping mating structure, not only can the internal space of the connector be saved, but the connection of electrical components can also be made more stable and secure.

[0039] To enhance the reliability of the electrical connection when the connector is plugged into an external electrical component, in this embodiment, the elastic member 2 and the bent arm 11 are subjected to an interference fit with elastic contact.

[0040] As a structural form for realizing the mutual cooperation between the elastic element and the current-carrying element, the elastic element 2 in this embodiment includes a fixing part 21, a connecting part 22, and an elastic abutment part 23. The fixing part 21 is fixed to the side wall 1a of the current-carrying element 1 that forms the bent arm 11 to form a surface support cooperation; the connecting part 22 is formed on the fixing part 21 and extends from the fixing part 21 after bending; the elastic abutment part 23 is located at the end of the connecting part 22. The bent arm 11 of the current-carrying element 1 includes a bent arm body 111 and an elastic support part 112. The bent arm body 111 is formed on the side wall 1a of the current-carrying element 1, and the elastic support part 112 is formed on the bent arm body 111. The elastic support part 112 has a support point 113 that supports the elastic abutment part 23 of the elastic element 2.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic abutment portion 23 is formed by bending and extending the connecting portion 22 of the elastic member 2, and the elastic support portion 112 of the bent arm 11 is formed by bending and extending the body 111 of the bent arm. Wherein, according to actual installation requirements, the bending and extending directions of the elastic abutment portion 23 and the elastic support portion 112 located on the same side are not the same.

[0042] The connector in this embodiment includes two elastic members 2 as described above. The inner side of the current-carrying member 1 has two symmetrically distributed bent arms 11 and an assembly gap 100 corresponding to each bent arm 11. For example, the two bent arms 11 are preferably distributed left and right, and the clamping gap 10 is formed between the two bent arms 11 as described above. One of the two elastic members is assembled in the assembly gap on the left side, and the other of the two elastic members is assembled in the assembly gap on the right side. At least one of the two bent arms 11 forms a clamping engagement structure.

[0043] Preferably, in the connector fitting device of this embodiment, the two elastic elements 2 are symmetrically distributed from left to right, and the two bent arms 11 are symmetrically distributed from left to right.

[0044] In order to meet the actual needs of clamping multiple electrical components, in the connector device of this embodiment, the current-carrying member 1 has multiple orderly distributed bent arms 11, and the elastic member 2 has multiple connecting parts 22 and elastic contact parts 23 that correspond to and cooperate with each bent arm 11 on the current-carrying member 1.

[0045] In order to accelerate the heat dissipation of the connector during operation, in this embodiment, both the current-carrying element 1 and the elastic element 2 are sheet-like structures.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] This second embodiment provides another mating device for a connector. Specifically, the difference from the mating device in the first embodiment is that, see [link to embodiment]. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the connector device of this embodiment, the elastic member 2 has a connecting structure 22', a first elastic abutment structure 231', and a second elastic abutment structure 232'. The connecting structure 22' is disposed in the assembly space 1A of the current-carrying member 1. The first elastic abutment structure 231' is formed on the left side of the connecting structure 22' and is located in the assembly gap 100 on the left side. The second elastic abutment structure 232' is formed on the right side of the connecting structure 22' and is located in the assembly gap 100 on the right side. The first elastic abutment structure 231' elastically abuts against the bent arm 11 on the left side of the connecting portion, and the second elastic abutment structure 232' elastically abuts against the bent arm 11 on the right side of the connecting portion.

[0048] Of course, as a way of realizing the above-mentioned assembly space, the assembly space 1A is enclosed by the left bending arm, the right bending arm and the three side walls of the current-carrying component 1.

[0049] Although the preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
