Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic connector technology, specifically to an electronic connector that is easy to plug in and unplug. Background Technology
[0002] An electronic connector, which connects two active devices, is an electronic component used for the transmission and exchange of current or optical signals between electronic system devices. As a node, an electronic connector, either independently or together with a cable, transmits current or optical signals between devices, components, equipment, and subsystems. Electronic connectors typically consist of basic structural components such as contacts, insulators, housings, and accessories. The contacts are the core part of the electronic connector, used to achieve electrical connection; the insulator isolates the contacts; and the housing protects the internal structure of the electronic connector. Easy insertion and removal is a key characteristic of electronic connectors.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN205335536U, entitled "An Electronic Connector," includes a mounting base and pins. The mounting base includes a mounting plate and side plates, which together form a cavity. The pins penetrate the mounting plate and are partially located within the cavity. The side plates are divided into a first pair of plates and a second pair of plates. The first pair of plates has fixing protrusions for snap-fitting with a female connector, and the second pair of plates has snap-fit grooves for snap-fitting with a female connector. The cavity is provided with anti-vibration protrusions, which are triangular prisms. The planes containing adjacent sides are respectively connected to the first pair of sides and the second pair of sides. The mounting plate is provided with a reinforcing boss, which is in contact with the pin. The fixing protrusion includes a snap-fit part and an insertion part for connecting with the female plug. The fixing protrusion is strip-shaped, and the insertion part is inclined from the outside of the cavity to the inside of the cavity. The fixing protrusion is a quadrangular prism with a trapezoidal bottom surface. The fixing protrusion includes an anti-shaking surface. The snap-fit groove is U-shaped. The side plate is provided with an insertion guide mark. The first pair of plates is provided with a fixing notch for connecting with the female plug.
[0004] While the existing technologies described above can achieve the connection of electronic connectors, in practical use, on the one hand, the insertion and removal of electronic connectors are not convenient enough. Usually, after the male head is inserted into the female head, the male head and female head are fixed by the threaded rod, which means that the threaded rod needs to be rotated when inserting or removing the connector, thus increasing the complexity of the connector insertion and removal. On the other hand, symmetrical connectors are easy to insert backwards. Usually, when symmetrical connectors are inserted in a dark environment, the male head is easily inserted backwards into the female head, thus affecting the connection of the connector. Therefore, they do not meet the current requirements. In response, we propose an electronic connector that is easy to insert and remove. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic connector that is easy to plug and unplug, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenience of plugging and unplugging electronic connectors and the easy reverse insertion of symmetrical connectors.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-plug electronic connector, including a female connector and a male connector. The female connector is composed of a wire base and a female base. Fixed seats are fixedly provided on the upper and lower sides of the front and rear ends of the female base. A fixed rod is fixedly provided between the fixed seats. A snap hook is sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod. The snap hook is rotatably connected to the fixed rod. A torsion spring is fixedly provided on the outside of the fixed rod between the snap hook and the fixed seat.
[0007] Preferably, the male connector consists of a male connector base and a wire base. The wire base is fixedly connected to the female connector base and the male connector base respectively by a snap fastener. The front and rear ends of the male connector base are fixedly provided with connecting rods. The connecting rods are provided with a snap-fit groove inside the side near the male connector base. The snap-fit groove is an open structure and the snap-fit groove corresponds to the snap-fit hook position.
[0008] Preferably, the female connector has a slot inside, and the slot has three pins inside. The pins are evenly distributed and are electrically connected to the wires inside the wire holder.
[0009] Preferably, positioning rods are fixedly provided at both the upper and lower ends of one side of the slot, and the positioning rods are arranged symmetrically.
[0010] Preferably, a positioning groove is provided on one side of both the upper and lower ends of the male head seat, and the positioning groove corresponds to the position of the positioning rod.
[0011] Preferably, the male connector has three spring sleeves inside, the spring sleeves are positioned corresponding to the pins, and the spring sleeves are electrically connected to the wires inside the wire holder.
[0012] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly provided at the front end of both the female and male connectors.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model uses a snap-fit hook and snap-fit groove to quickly fix female and male connectors. When inserting the male connector, the male connector is already positioned. Then, the male connector is inserted into the groove until the connecting rod contacts the snap-fit hook. The side wall of the connecting rod will press against the snap-fit hook, causing it to rotate towards the female connector until it enters the inner side of the connecting rod. At the same time, the torsion spring is compressed. Continuing to move the male connector causes the snap-fit hook to move inside the connecting rod until the connector is snapped in place. When the hook moves to the opening position of the locking groove on the connecting rod, the torsion spring resets. The force generated by the reset torsion spring drives the locking hook to rotate until it is rotated into the locking groove. At this point, the locking groove and the locking hook are locked together, completing the insertion and fixing of the connector. When it is necessary to remove the male connector, press the protrusion at the rear end of the locking hook to make the locking hook rotate outward in the locking groove until the locking hook disengages from the locking groove. Then, pull the male connector out of the slot, thereby improving the convenience of connector insertion and removal.
[0015] 2. This utility model uses a positioning groove and a positioning rod to position the male connector for insertion. Before insertion, align the male connector with the opening of the slot. At this time, the positioning groove and the positioning rod are in the same position. When the male connector is inserted into the slot, the positioning rod slides in the positioning groove until the male connector is moved to the appropriate position, thus avoiding the situation where the male connector is inserted backwards in a dark environment.
[0016] 3. This utility model, by providing a spring sleeve, can compress the pin. When the male connector is inserted into the slot, the pin enters the spring sleeve inside the male connector. The spring sleeve will compress the pin and continue to push the male connector until it is moved to the appropriate position, thus completing the connection between the male connector and the female connector, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an easy-to-plug electronic connector, including a female connector 1 and a male connector 12. The female connector 1 consists of a wire base 2 and a female base 3. Fixing seats 7 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the front and rear ends of the female base 3. A fixing rod 9 is fixedly installed between the fixing seats 7. A snap-fit hook 8 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 9, and the snap-fit hook 8 is rotatably connected to the fixing rod 9. A torsion spring 10 is fixedly installed on the outside of the fixing rod 9 between the snap-fit hook 8 and the fixing seat 7. The male connector 12... It consists of a male connector 13 and a wire holder 2. The wire holder 2 is fixedly connected to the female connector 3 and the male connector 13 by snap-fit. The front and rear ends of the male connector 13 are fixedly provided with connecting rods 14. The connecting rod 14 is provided with a snap-fit groove 15 on the side of the male connector 13. The snap-fit groove 15 is an open structure and corresponds to the snap-fit hook 8. The female connector 3 is provided with a slot 4 inside. The slot 4 is provided with three pins 5 inside. The pins 5 are evenly distributed and are electrically connected to the wire inside the wire holder 2.
[0024] In use, when inserting the male connector 13, its positioning is complete. Then, insert the male connector 13 into the slot 4 until the connecting rod 14 contacts the locking hook 8. The side wall of the connecting rod 14 will compress the locking hook 8, causing it to rotate towards the female connector 3 until the locking hook 8 enters the inner side of the connecting rod 14. Simultaneously, the torsion spring 10 is compressed. Continue moving the male connector 13, causing the locking hook 8 to move inside the connecting rod 14 until it is fully engaged with the connecting rod 14. At the opening position of the snap-fit groove 15, the torsion spring 10 is reset. The force generated by the reset of the torsion spring 10 drives the snap-fit hook 8 to rotate until the snap-fit hook 8 is rotated into the snap-fit groove 15. At this time, the snap-fit groove 15 and the snap-fit hook 8 are snapped and fixed, completing the insertion and fixing of the connector. When it is necessary to pull out the male connector 13, press the protrusion at the rear end of the snap-fit hook 8 to make the snap-fit hook 8 rotate outward in the snap-fit groove 15 until the snap-fit hook 8 is disengaged from the snap-fit groove 15. Then, pull the male connector 13 out of the slot 4.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Positioning rods 6 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower ends of one side of the slot 4. The positioning rods 6 are symmetrically arranged. Positioning grooves 16 are provided on one side of the upper and lower ends of the male connector 13. The positioning grooves 16 correspond to the positions of the positioning rods 6. When the insertion direction is correct, the positioning rods 6 slide in the positioning grooves 16. When the insertion direction is incorrect, after the male connector 13 enters the slot 4, the positioning rods 6 abut against the front end of the male connector 13, so that the male connector 13 cannot enter the slot 4, thereby avoiding the situation where the connector is inserted backwards.
[0026] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The male connector 13 has three spring sleeves 17 inside, which correspond to the positions of the pins 5 and are electrically connected to the wires inside the wire holder 2. Both the female connector 3 and the front end of the male connector 13 are fixedly provided with sealing rings 11. When the pins 5 enter the spring sleeves 17, the elastic plates on the spring sleeves 17 squeeze the side wall of the pins 5. At this time, the operator can feel a certain resistance. The spring sleeves 17 can help the operator confirm that the male connector 13 has been correctly inserted.
[0027] Working principle: Before insertion, align the male connector 13 with the opening of the slot 4. At this time, the positioning groove 16 and the positioning rod 6 are in the same position. When the male connector 13 is inserted into the slot 4, the positioning rod 6 slides in the positioning groove 16. After the male connector 13 is inserted into the slot 4, the pin 5 enters the spring sleeve 17 inside the male connector 13. The spring sleeve 17 will exert a certain amount of pressure on the pin 5, and continue to push the male connector 13 until it is moved to the appropriate position, thus completing the connection between the male connector 13 and the female connector 3.
[0028] 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, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
