In other cases, detailed description of well-known systems, devices, circuits and methods is omitted to avoid unnecessary details that hinder the description of the present application.

[0048] The utility model constructs a kind of electric connector assembly 1, can refer to Figure 1The electrical connector assembly 1 mainly comprises mating socket connectors 12 and plug connectors 11. Understandably, the electrical connector assembly 1 is a key electronic component used in electrical and electronic systems to achieve electrical connections, and can be used for electrical connections between a first product and a second product. The first product can be a product with a plug connector 11. For example, the first product can be an electronic connection cable 100, which may include power cords, data cables, etc. Of course, the first product can also be a product with a connection cable, such as accessories for microphones, headphones, etc., which are not limited here. The second product can be a product with a socket connector 12. For example, the second product can be an electronic device such as a walkie-talkie, power bank, or mobile phone. Furthermore, the types of socket connectors 12 and plug connectors 11 can include Type-C connector structures, USB connector structures, TRS connector structures, etc.

[0049] In particular, in the electrical connector assembly 1 of this utility model, as Figure 1 As shown, a latching mechanism 2 is also provided between the plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12 for locking the plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12 together.

[0050] The locking mechanism 2 may include a locking member 21 disposed on one of the plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12, and a locking groove 22 disposed on the other between the plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12. The locking member 21 can be engaged in the locking groove 22 during electrical connection between the plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12 to achieve locking. The direction in which the locking member 21 is inserted into the locking groove 22 is parallel to the direction in which the plug connector 11 is inserted into the connector. This locking connection allows for locking without the need for tools and facilitates a convenient locking connection between the plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12.

[0051] The following description uses the example of a snap-fit ​​component 21 being provided in the plug connector 11 and a snap-fit ​​slot 22 being provided in the socket connector 12.

[0052] Continue reading Figure 1 The plug connector 11 has a first side surface 112 on the side facing the interface 121 of the socket connector 12, and a plug 111 protruding from the first side surface 112.

[0053] The snap-fit ​​member 21 may include a protrusion 211 extending out of the first side 112, and a movable member 212 mounted in the protrusion 211. The protrusion 211 is for insertion into the slot 22 of the socket connector 12. The movable member 212 is configured to move within the protrusion 211, and the movable member 212 is provided with a hook portion 2121 that can move back and forth between extending out of the protrusion 211 and retracting into the protrusion 211.

[0054] In other words, the latch portion 2121 can include an extended state and a retracted state, which can be referred to as Figure 2 and Figure 3 wherein Figure 2 the latch portion 2121 in the extended state, Figure 3 the latch portion 2121 in the retracted state. As shown in Figure 2 , in the extended state, the latch portion 2121 extends out of the protruding block 211, providing a basis for the latching member 21 to be latched in the card slot 22 provided in the socket connector 12. As shown in Figure 3 , in the retracted state, the latch portion 2121 is located entirely within the protruding block 211, providing a basis for the latching member 21 to be disengaged from the card slot 22.

[0055] Secondly, the activity can include one of rotation and displacement. For example, as generally shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the movable member 212 is rotatably arranged in the protruding block 211, and the rotation plane thereof is parallel to the insertion direction; for another example, the movable member 212 is movably arranged in the protruding block 211 (not shown in the figure), and the displacement direction thereof is perpendicular to the insertion direction. It can be explained here that the insertion direction can be understood as the direction of the latching member 21 being inserted into the card slot 22, or as the direction of the plug connector 11 being inserted into the socket, which is not limited herein.

[0056] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 , the socket connector 12 is provided with a second side surface 122 on the side facing the plug 111 of the plug connector 11, and an interface 121 is formed on the second side surface 122. The card slot 22 is recessed from the second side surface 122; in the card slot 22, a card position 221 is provided which forms a latching relationship with the latch portion 2121 of the movable member 212, and the wall of the card position 221 can prevent the movable member 212 from being disengaged from the card slot 22. Alternatively, the card position 221 can be an arc-shaped slot formed on one side wall of the card slot 22.

[0057] On the side of the card position 221 close to the plug connector 11, for example, at the edge position of the slot of the card slot 22, a guide surface 23 is also configured, which is used to push the latch portion 2121 back into the protruding block 211, so that the latching structure smoothly enters the card slot 22. Preferably, the guide surface 23 is higher than the slot edge of the card slot 22, which can retract the latch portion 2121 into the protruding block 211 in advance, so as to achieve smooth retraction and improve the user experience during insertion. Of course, the guide surface 23 is not a necessary component; in other embodiments, the latch portion 2121 can be directly pushed back into the protruding block 211 through the slot edge of the card slot 22.

[0058] Continuing to look at the structure of the latching member 21, please refer to Figure 2The clamping member 21 further comprises a movable base assembly connected with the movable element 212. The plug connector 11 is provided with a movable area 216 for mounting the movable base assembly, and part of the structure of the movable base assembly can be arranged at the movable area 216 and can move at the movable area 216 to help the clamping hook part 2121 switch between the extended state and the retracted state.

[0059] As shown in Figure 2 , the movable base assembly can include a push element 213 and an elastic element 214. It can be explained that, as Figure 2 the elastic element 214 is partially blocked by the movable element 212, the structure of the elastic element 214 can refer to Figure 5 .

[0060] One side of the push element 213 is connected with the movable element 212, and it can be movably arranged on the plug connector 11 to drive the clamping hook part 2121 of the movable element 212 to switch to the retracted state when moving, and to make the elastic element 214 generate elastic potential energy. The elastic element 214 is connected with the movable element 212, and is configured to keep the clamping hook part 2121 in the extended state when the movable element 212 is not subjected to external force, and to drive the clamping hook part 2121 to return to the extended state by releasing the elastic potential energy.

[0061] It can be understood that the push element 213 includes a first position and a second position, and the push element 213 can switch back and forth between the first position and the second position; refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , wherein Figure 2 the push element 213 in Figure 3 is in the first position, Figure 2 the push element 213 in Figure 3 is in the second position. As shown in , when the push element 213 is in the first position, the clamping hook part 2121 is in the extended state, and when the push element 213 is in the second position, as shown in

[0062] , the clamping hook part 2121 is in the retracted state under the driving of the push element 213. It needs to be supplemented here that the position switching of the push element 213 can be the change of the position of the whole push element 213, or the change of the position of part of the structure of the push element 213.

[0063] Of course, the movable base assembly can also include only a push rod, one end of the push rod is directly connected with the movable element 212, and the other end of the push rod extends out of the plug connector 11. The push rod is pushed back and forth to drive the clamping hook part 2121 to switch between the extended state and the retracted state. Figure 2 Figure 5Referring to FIG. 2, the active member 212 can be provided with a mounting position 215 for mounting the active member 212, and a first avoiding opening 2151 is provided at the mounting position 215 for the hook portion 2121 to extend out.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 2, the active member 212 can include the hook portion 2121, a main body portion 2122, and a driven portion 2123. Figure 2 Figure 5 The hook portion 2121 can be an L-shaped structure, and in the extended state, the inner angle of the hook portion 2121 is arranged towards the toggle member 213.

[0065] The main body portion 2122 is mounted on the mounting position 215 and is configured to be movable at the mounting position 215.

[0066] The hook portion 2121 is connected at one end of the main body portion 2122 towards the first avoiding opening 2151 in the extended state, and the other end of the hook portion 2121 extends out of the mounting position 215 from the first avoiding opening 2151. Alternatively, the hook portion 2121 can be an L-shaped structure, and in the extended state, the inner angle of the hook portion 2121 is arranged towards the toggle member 213.

[0067] The driven portion 2123 is used to connect with the toggle member 213 to transmit the force of the toggle member 213 to the main body portion 2122, so that the main body portion 2122 is movable, and the hook portion 2121 is movable with the main body portion 2122 to extend and retract. In the extended state, one end of the driven portion 2123 is connected to the main body portion 2122 towards the toggle member 213.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 2, the toggle member 213 is movably mounted in the plug connector 11 and is provided with a rocker arm 2132 on the side facing the active member 212 for connecting with the driven portion 2123 of the active member 212. When the toggle member 213 is moved, the rocker arm 2132 is moved to push the driven portion 2123, so that the hook portion 2121 is retracted into the mounting position 215. Figure 2 Figure 5 In other words, the position of the rocker arm 2132 changes during the switching of the toggle member 213 between the first position and the second position. During the switching of the toggle member 213 from the first position to the second position, the rocker arm 2132 drives the hook portion 2121 to switch from the extended state to the retracted state. It can be understood that the driven portion 2123 and the rocker arm 2132 together constitute a transmission member between the toggle member 213 and the active member 212; in other alternative schemes, the transmission member can also be directly formed on the toggle member 213 or on the active member 212, which is not specifically limited.

[0069] In other words, the position of the rocker arm 2132 changes during the switching of the toggle member 213 between the first position and the second position. During the switching of the toggle member 213 from the first position to the second position, the rocker arm 2132 drives the hook portion 2121 to switch from the extended state to the retracted state. It can be understood that the driven portion 2123 and the rocker arm 2132 together constitute a transmission member between the toggle member 213 and the active member 212; in other alternative schemes, the transmission member can also be directly formed on the toggle member 213 or on the active member 212, which is not specifically limited.

[0070] ​​Optionally, in the extended state, the rocker arm 2132 can be arranged at one side of the driven part 2123 adjacent to the clamping part 2121, and the rocker arm 2132 is in contact with the driven part 2123 through the activity. In this way, during the period that the elastic member 214 drives the clamping part 2121 to return to the extended state, the driven part 2123 can also drive the toggle 213 and the rocker arm 2132 to return from the second position to the first position.

[0071] In addition, the toggle 213 can also be provided with a handle 2131 extending outside the plug connector 11.

[0072] Further optionally, as shown in Figure 5 the plug connector 11 is also provided with a third side surface 113 connected with the first side surface 112, and the active area 216 can include a slot 2161 arranged on the third side surface 113, which is located at the periphery of the mounting position 215. The toggle 213 can be mounted in the slot 2161 and can move in the slot 2161. Of course, the slot 2161 can also be arranged at the protruding block 211, which is not specifically limited here. It can be understood that, in addition to the third side surface 113 described above, it can also be a circumferential direction along the center line of the plug connector 11, which is parallel to the first side surface 112, and other surfaces of the plug connector 11 except the first side surface 112.

[0073] The active area 216 also includes an empty space 2162 arranged at one side of the slot 2161 close to the toggle 212, and the empty space 2162 is connected with the slot 2161 through a second avoiding opening 2163. The rocker arm 2132 is arranged to extend from the second avoiding opening 2163 to the empty space 2162 to connect with the driven part 2123 of the toggle 212. That is, the rocker arm 2132 of the toggle 213 and the driven part 2123 of the toggle 212 are arranged in the empty space 2162 and can move in the empty space 2162.

[0074] The clamping part 2121 and the plug connector 11 can be arranged centrally on the first side surface 112 in a direction perpendicular to the third side surface 113, and the driven part 2123 is between the third side surface 113 and the clamping part 2121 in a direction perpendicular to the third side surface 113, that is, as shown in Figure 6 , the slot 2161 and the mounting position 215 are not located on the same position surface in the direction perpendicular to the third side surface 113, and the empty space 2162 is located on the same position surface in the direction perpendicular to the third side surface 113, and the driven part 2123 and the clamping part 2121 are arranged staggered in the axial direction of the main body part 2122.

[0075] It is understandable that the purpose of such design is to set the hooking part 2121 at the middle of the first side 112, which is beneficial for structural layout; if the hooking part 2121 is offset, the thickness of the plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12 can be increased. On the other hand, it is also to save the occupied space of the structure and optimize the material cost, because the actuating member 213 needs to be exposed on the surface of the plug connector 11 for the user to operate / observe (such as the third side 113), if the driven part 2123 is located at the middle of the first side 112, the width of the rocker arm 2132 can only be increased in size to smoothly contact the connector 302. In other embodiments, the movable member 212 can only include the hooking part 2121 and the main body part 2122; the movable area 216 can only include the slot 2161, the slot 2161 and the mounting position 215 are located at the same position, the rocker arm 2132 extends from the second avoiding hole 2163 to the mounting position 215, and is directly connected with the main body part 2122, thereby driving the main body part 2122 to rotate.

[0076] As described above, the movement can include one of rotation and displacement. Then, in the embodiment in which the movable member 212 is arranged in the mounting position 215 to rotate, the structure of the clamping structure can be as follows:

[0077] Referring to Figure 5 , the main body part 2122 can be a cylindrical column structure, and the main body part 2122, the hooking part 2121 and the driven part 2123 can rotate around the central axis of the main body part 2122.

[0078] Referring to Figure 7 , the mounting position 215 can include a first accommodating area 2152 for accommodating the main body part 2122, and a second accommodating area 2153 for accommodating the entire hooking part 2121.

[0079] The first accommodating area 2152 can be a cylindrical passage, and a part of the structure of the main body part 2122 is arranged in the first accommodating area 2152, and the other part of the structure is outside the mounting position 215, i.e. in the empty position 2162; the driven part 2123 is connected to the structure of the main body part 2122 outside the mounting position 215 to contact the rocker arm 2132 of the actuating member 213.

[0080] The space shape of the second accommodating area 2153 is at least partially the same as that of the hooking part 2121. The wall surface of the second accommodating area 2153 can also be used to limit the angle of rotation of the movable member 212; in short, in the process of retracting the hooking part 2121 into the second accommodating area 2153, the hooking part 2121 can abut against the wall surface of the second accommodating area 2153, so as to end the rotation of the movable member 212 and prevent the movable member 212 from continuing to rotate.

[0081] Referring to Figure 6On one side of the mounting position 215, there is also a receiving position 217 which is in communication with the mounting position 215. The elastic member 214 can be mounted in the receiving position 217 to be connected with the movable member 212. The receiving position 217 can be arranged on the side of the mounting position 215 away from the driven part 2123 of the movable member 212, that is, the mounting position 215 is between the receiving position 217 and the empty position 2162 in the direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the movable member 212.

[0082] For reference Figure 5 The slot position 2161 can be a longitudinal straight slot. The pushing member 213 can be linearly displaced in the slot position 2161. The displacement direction is parallel to the rotation plane of the movable member 212 and perpendicular to the insertion direction. When the pushing member 213 is linearly displaced, the rocker arm 2132 also linearly displaces, so that the linear motion of the rocker arm 2132 is converted into the rotation of the movable member 212.

[0083] The elastic member 214 can be a torsion spring which can be mounted in the receiving position 217. One end of the torsion spring is fixed in the receiving position 217, and the other end is fixed on the movable member 212. The torsion spring deforms during the rotation of the movable member 212 from the extended state to the retracted state. When the movable member 212 is in the extended state, the torsion spring is in the original state or the low-deformation state (collectively referred to as the initial state), and when the movable member 212 is in the retracted state, the torsion spring is in the deformed state or the high-deformation state (collectively referred to as the accumulated state).

[0084] Taking the clockwise rotation of the movable member 212 to retract and the counterclockwise rotation of the movable member 212 to extend as an example, the entire locking and unlocking process of the electronic device assembly can be as follows:

[0085] The clamping member 21 is inserted in the direction of the clamping groove 22. The guide surface 23 on the socket connector 12 can abut against the clamping hook part 2121, so that the movable member 212 rotates clockwise, and the clamping hook part 2121 smoothly retracts into the protruding block 211. Until the clamping hook part 2121 reaches the clamping position 221 in the clamping groove 22, the clamping hook part 2121 loses the force from the guide surface 23, and extends out of the protruding block 211 under the action of the torsion spring, that is, it returns to the extended state, as shown in Figure 2 . The torsion spring continuously provides the torsion force for keeping the clamping hook part 2121 in the extended state. Since the clamping hook part 2121 in the extended state is clamped in the clamping position 221, the clamping member 21 as a whole cannot be pulled out of the clamping groove 22, thereby completing the locking.

[0086] When unlocking is needed, the pushing member 213 is pushed to the right (the second position), and the clamping hook part 2121 will rotate clockwise under the action of the pushing member 213 and retract into the protruding block 211, that is, it switches to the retracted state, as shown in Figure 3As shown; at this time, the plug connector 11 is pulled out of the socket connector 12.

[0087] After being pulled out, the hooking part 2121 is re-extended to the outside of the protruding block 211 under the action of the torsion spring, and the actuator 213 is driven to return to the left side (the first position), as shown. Figure 1

[0088] Here, it can be extended that the actuator 213 is not limited to linear displacement, and the slot 2161 can also be a longitudinal curved groove (not shown in the embodiment). The actuator 213 can curve in the slot 2161, and the displacement direction is the same as the direction of the movable part 212 rotating. When the actuator 213 curves, the rocker arm 2132 drives the movable part 212 to rotate.

[0089] Secondly, the actuator 213 can also be arranged to rotate in the slot 2161 (not shown in the embodiment). For example, the slot 2161 can be a columnar structure, and the length direction is parallel to the direction perpendicular to the third assembly surface. The actuator 213 has a rotating shaft which can be inserted into the slot 2161, so that the actuator 213 can rotate on the slot 2161. The rotating plane of the actuator 213 is parallel / overlapping with the rotating plane of the movable part 212. When the actuator 213 rotates, the rocker arm 2132 rotates around the actuator 213, thereby driving the movable part 212 to rotate.

[0090] In the embodiment in which the movable part 212 is arranged to move in the mounting position 215 (not shown in the embodiment), the structure of the clamping structure can be as follows:

[0091] The main body part 2122 can be a longitudinal columnar structure, and the main body part 2122, the hooking part 2121 and the driven part 2123 can be translated together.

[0092] The mounting position 215 can be a straight slot, and the length direction of the straight slot is perpendicular to the plug-in direction. The main body part 2122 of the movable part 212 is vertically inserted into the straight slot, and a part of the structure of the main body part 2122 is located in the straight slot, and another part of the structure can be located in the empty position 2162. The hooking part 2121 of the movable part 212 is connected to the structure of the main body part 2122 located in the straight slot, and can move back and forth in the straight slot. The driven part 2123 of the movable part 212 is connected to the structure of the main body part 2122 located in the empty position 2162, so as to be connected to the rocker arm 2132 of the actuator 213.

[0093] ​The slot 2161 can be a straight slot, and the actuating member 213 can be linearly displaced in the slot 2161, the direction of displacement being parallel to the rotation plane of the movable member 212 and perpendicular to the insertion direction; when the actuating member 213 is linearly displaced, the rocker arm 2132 drives the movable member 212 to translate.

[0094] The elastic member 214 can be a columnar spring, which can be installed in the mounting position 215, and one end of the spring is fixed in the mounting position 215, and the other end is fixed on the main body 2122 of the movable member 212. The spring is deformed when the hook portion 2121 is retracted; when the hook portion 2121 is in the extended state, the spring is in the original state or the low-deformation state, and when the hook portion 2121 is in the retracted state, the spring is in the deformed state or the high-deformation state.

[0095] Here, it can be extended that the actuating member 213 is not limited to linear displacement, and the actuating member 213 can also be arranged to rotate in the slot 2161. For example, the slot 2161 can be a columnar slot, the length direction of which is parallel to the direction perpendicular to the third assembly plane; the actuating member 213 has a rotation shaft which can be inserted into the slot 2161, so that the actuating member 213 can rotate on the slot 2161; the rotation plane of the actuating member 213 is parallel / coincides with the rotation plane of the movable member 212; when the actuating member 213 rotates, the rocker arm 2132 rotates around the actuating member 213, thereby converting the rotary motion of the rocker arm 2132 into the linear motion of the movable member 212.

[0096] It can be understood that the movement mode of the actuating member 213 and / or the movable member 212 can be determined according to product requirements. The rotation scheme of the movable member 212 can relatively save the required space of the structure, and the displacement scheme of the movable member 212 can relatively simplify the structure. The displacement scheme of the actuating member 213 can be relatively convenient when adjusting the actuating member 213, but the required space of the structure is relatively large; the rotation scheme of the actuating member 213 can relatively save the required space of the structure, but it is relatively difficult to operate on the plug connector 11 with small volume. For example, when the actuating member 213 is arranged on the plug connector 11 of the electronic connection line 100, since the volume of the connector 302 is very small, the length can be only a few centimeters, and the user's hand is not easy to grasp the handle 2131 on the actuating member 213, so the displacement scheme of the actuating member 213 can be more appropriate.

[0097] Secondly, the position of the actuating member 213 can be changed by manually actuating or sliding the handle on the actuating member 213, or can be changed by power driving, which is not limited here.

[0098] Please review Figure 1The clamping member 21 can further include a cover plate 218 installed at the active area 216, which can cover the slot 2161 and the mounting position 215. Meanwhile, the cover plate 218 and the protruding block 211 are kept at a distance to form the above-mentioned empty position 2162. The cover plate 218 is further provided with an opening for the handle portion 2131 of the poking member 213 to extend out of the plug connector 11. It can be understood that in the illustrated embodiment, a part of the structure of the cover plate 218 and the extension structure 2111 extending from the surface of the plug connector 11 provided with the plug 111 jointly form the protruding block 211.

[0099] In some embodiments, reference can be made to Figure 4 The plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12 can further be provided with a limiting structure 3 for ensuring that the clamping member 21 cannot be accidentally detached from the clamping groove 22.

The length direction of the plug pin 31 is parallel to the plugging direction.

[0101] It can be understood that the plug pin 31 can effectively limit the direction in which the plug connector 11 is detached from the socket connector 12, and ensure that the clamping hook portion 2121 can be limited by the clamping position 221 in the extended state, thereby preventing the accidental release of the plug connector 11 when it is shaken left and right.

[0102] In some embodiments, reference can be made to Figure 4 The plug connector 11 and the socket connector 12 can further be provided with a protective structure 4 for defining an isolation area to wrap the clamping mechanism 2 and the electrical connector assembly 1 therein, so as to avoid external contaminants from contaminating the clamping mechanism 2 and the electrical connector assembly 1.

[0103] The protective structure 4 can include a flange 41 and a groove 42 surrounding the periphery of the clamping mechanism 2 and the electrical connector assembly 1; wherein the flange 41 protrudes from the first side surface 112 of the plug connector 11, and the groove 42 is formed on the second side surface 122 of the socket connector 12, or the flange 41 protrudes from the second side surface 122 of the socket connector 12, and the groove 42 is formed on the first side surface 112 of the plug connector 11. The flange 41 can be embedded in the groove 42 to form an isolation area between the first side surface 112 of the plug connector 11 and the second side surface 122 of the socket connector 12.
