[0018] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model also provides an electronic device, which includes a connector as described above as the main body, and the connector is electrically connected to the main body.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the connector and electronic device of this utility model have the following advantages:
[0020] 1. The connector of this utility model includes a first electrical connection structure and a second electrical connection structure. The first electrical connection structure includes a first housing and at least two rotating plates partially disposed within the first housing. Terminal ring assemblies are provided on both sides of each rotating plate. The second electrical connection structure includes a second housing and terminal pin assemblies. The second housing has at least two receiving slots corresponding to the rotating plates, and the terminal pin assemblies are disposed on the inner walls of the receiving slots. The first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure are rotatably connected. The receiving slots accommodate the rotating plates, and the terminal ring assemblies are electrically connected to the terminal pin assemblies. On one hand, by providing at least two rotating plates, with terminal ring assemblies on both sides of the rotating plates, and correspondingly, terminal pin assemblies are provided on the two opposite inner walls of the receiving slots, the connector achieves its rotation function while placing as many information transmission terminals as possible into the narrow connection space. On the other hand, the annular design of the terminal ring assemblies facilitates the first electrical connection structure maintaining an electrical connection with the terminal pin assemblies during rotation, enhancing the electrical connection stability between the two electrical connection structures.
[0021] 2. The inner wall of the receiving groove of this utility model is recessed away from the rotating plate and a positioning groove is formed therein, and the terminal pin assembly is set in the positioning groove. By placing the terminal pin assembly in the positioning groove, the relative displacement of the terminal pin assembly caused by the terminal ring assembly is avoided when the two electrical connection structures rotate, thereby improving the internal structural stability of the second electrical connection structure.
[0022] 3. The first electrical connection structure of this utility model further includes a first main PCB board disposed inside the first housing and transition plates disposed on both sides of the first main PCB board and corresponding one-to-one with the rotating plates; the first main PCB board is electrically connected to each transition plate, and each transition plate is electrically connected to the terminal ring group on its corresponding rotating plate. By setting the transition plates electrically connected to the terminal ring groups, the terminal ring groups and the first main PCB board are indirectly electrically connected via the transition plates, thereby freeing up the space setting restrictions of the external terminals of the terminal ring groups and facilitating the wiring of the first main PCB board.
[0023] 4. The first main PCB board of this utility model has a clearance notch at one end near the rotating plate, which accommodates part of the terminal ring assembly and the end connected to the transition plate. By setting the clearance notch, the first main PCB board provides extra space to accommodate the external end of the terminal ring assembly, avoiding the situation where the edge of the first main PCB board and the terminal ring assembly are squeezed against each other, causing damage to the first main PCB board and affecting the internal electrical connection function of the first electrical connection structure, thus improving the internal structure and functional stability of the first electrical connection structure.
[0024] 5. The second electrical connection structure of this utility model includes a second main PCB board, which is perpendicular to the plane in which the rotation direction of the rotating plate is located. Through the positional design of the second main PCB board, when the two electrical connection structures rotate relative to each other, the second main PCB board and the terminal pin group are always perpendicularly positioned and the relative distance is fixed, thereby improving the electrical connection stability between the terminal pin group and the second main PCB board.
[0025] 6. The connector of this utility model includes a rotating shaft; each rotating plate has a first rotating shaft hole that passes through the rotating plate, and the second housing has a second rotating shaft hole corresponding to the first rotating shaft hole. The rotating shaft passes through the first rotating shaft hole and the second rotating shaft hole; at least one limiting member is provided in the positioning groove, and the limiting member abuts against the rotating shaft. Through the abutting relationship between the limiting member and the rotating shaft, the displacement and skew of the rotating shaft due to rotation or shaking during the use of the connector are restricted, thereby avoiding the displacement of the rotating plate caused by the skew of the rotating shaft, which would lead to misalignment of the electrical connection between the terminal ring group and the terminal pin group, and greatly improving the electrical connection stability of the connector.
[0026] 7. In this invention, each rotating plate is parallel to the others, and the distance between any two rotating plates is within 1mm to 1.5mm. By limiting the distance between the rotating plates, on the one hand, the maximum distance between the rotating plates limits the maximum height of the first electrical connection structure, thereby limiting the overall volume of the connector and effectively improving the internal space utilization of the connector; on the other hand, the minimum distance between the rotating plates ensures that sufficient space is reserved between the two plates to accommodate the terminal ring assembly and the terminal pin assembly, preventing the terminal ring assembly and the terminal pin assembly from being squeezed together due to shaking or other reasons, which could lead to damage to the signal terminals and poor contact in the electrical connection, greatly improving the service life and functional stability of the connector.
[0027] 8. Each terminal ring assembly of this utility model includes at least five concentric terminal rings; in each terminal ring assembly, the spacing between any two adjacent terminal rings is within the range of 0.2mm to 0.3mm. By limiting the spacing range between any two adjacent terminal rings, on the one hand, the maximum spacing between adjacent terminal rings limits the maximum diameter of the rotating plate, effectively limiting the maximum volume of the rotating plate; on the other hand, the minimum spacing between adjacent terminal rings prevents adhesion between the two terminal rings, which could lead to short circuits between terminals and damage to the circuit structure, greatly improving the service life and functional stability of the first electrical connection structure.
[0028] 9. In this invention, the terminal rings on one side of at least one rotating plate, arranged from largest to smallest diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: GND, TX1+, TX1-, VBUS, and CC1; the terminal rings on the other side, arranged from largest to smallest diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: RX2+, RX2-, SBU1, D-, and D+; and the terminal rings on one side of at least another rotating plate, arranged from largest to smallest diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: GND, TX2+, TX2-, VBUS, and CC2; and the terminal rings on the other side, arranged from largest to smallest diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: RX1+, RX1-, SBU2, D-, and D+. When each terminal ring is connected as a corresponding signal terminal, the first electrical connection structure can connect to and fully realize the function of a 24-pin full-pin external data plug, greatly improving the practicality of the connector.
[0029] 10. This utility model also provides an electronic device, which includes a main body and a connector, with the connector electrically connected to the main body. Through the arrangement of the two electrical connection structures, each part of the main body can be installed on either the first electrical connection structure or the second electrical connection structure according to usage requirements, facilitating different rotation methods for the electronic device and greatly improving its practicality and ease of use.

[0067] Please see Figures 1-3 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a connector 1, including a first electrical connection structure 2 and a second electrical connection structure 3. The first electrical connection structure 2 includes a first housing 21 and at least two rotating plates 22 partially disposed within the first housing 21. Each rotating plate 22 has a terminal ring assembly 221 disposed on both sides. The second electrical connection structure 3 includes a second housing 31 and a terminal pin assembly 32. The second housing 31 has at least two receiving grooves 311 corresponding to the rotating plates 22. The terminal pin assembly 32 is disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 311. The first electrical connection structure 2 and the second electrical connection structure 3 are rotatably connected. The receiving grooves 311 accommodate the rotating plates 22, and the terminal ring assembly 221 is electrically connected to the terminal pin assembly 32.
[0068] Understandably, the design of setting terminal ring groups 221 on both sides of the rotating plate 22 organically combines the rotating structure and electrical connection structure of the connector 1, placing as many information transmission terminals as possible into the narrow connection space, thereby reducing the space required by the terminals and greatly improving the space utilization of the connector 1.
[0069] Understandably, when the first electrical connection structure 2 rotates relative to the second electrical connection structure 3, the terminal pin group 32 rotates together relative to the terminal ring group 221. The ring-shaped design of the terminal ring group 221 facilitates the compensation of the rotational displacement that occurs when the terminal pin group 32 rotates, thereby maintaining the electrical connection with the terminal pin group 32 at all times and enhancing the stability of the electrical connection between the first electrical connection structure 2 and the second electrical connection structure 3.
[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first electrical connection structure 2 is provided with two rotating plates 22, and the second housing 31 is provided with two receiving slots 311 corresponding to the rotating plates 22.
[0071] More specifically, the terminal pin group 32 is composed of terminal pins 33 with raised structures. The raised structure of each terminal pin 33 contacts the terminal ring group 221, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the terminal pin group 32 and the terminal ring group 221.
[0072] Understandably, when the first electrical connection structure 2 and the second electrical connection structure 3 are on the same straight line, the first electrical connection structure is in its initial state and can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by a certain angle along the rotation direction of the rotating plate 22.
[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the first electrical connection structure 2 is in the initial state, it can rotate 0-90° in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction along the rotation direction of the rotating plate 22.
[0074] More specifically, the first housing 21 is provided with a first inclined surface 211 on both sides of the plane in which the rotating plate 22 rotates; the second housing 31 is provided with a second inclined surface 315 corresponding to the first inclined surface 211; when the first electrical connection structure 2 and the second electrical connection structure 3 rotate through a certain angle in the rotation direction of the rotating plate 22, the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 315 abut against each other, preventing the relative rotation between the first electrical connection structure 2 and the second electrical connection structure 3, and preventing excessive rotation from damaging the first housing 21 or the second housing 31, thereby damaging the remaining internal structures; in this embodiment, when the first electrical connection structure 2 is in the initial state and rotates 90° clockwise or counterclockwise in the rotation direction of the rotating plate 22, the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 315 abut against each other.
[0075] Furthermore, the first electrical connection structure 2 is provided with a first external connection position 20 at the end away from the rotating plate 22, and the second electrical connection structure 3 is provided with a second external connection position 30 at the end away from the receiving groove 311. Optionally, the first external connector 20 can connect to external accessories via magnetic connection, fixed connection, or plug-in connection. The external accessories can be plugs or cables, etc., and are not limited here. When the first external connector 20 connects to external accessories via magnetic connection, it can be equipped with a magnetic element and pin contacts electrically connected to the terminal ring assembly 221. The external accessory is magnetically attracted to the first external connector 20 via the magnetic element and electrically connected to the pin contacts. When the first external connector 20 connects to external accessories via fixed connection, it can be equipped with solder joints electrically connected to the terminal ring assembly 221. The external accessory can be fixed to the first external connector 20 via injection molding, ultrasonic welding, or interference fit, and electrically connected by soldering to the solder joints. When the first external connector 20 connects to external accessories via plug-in connection, it can be equipped with a plug-in interface, which can be a Type-C interface, a USB interface, or a Lightning interface. The external accessory is inserted into the plug-in interface to achieve electrical connection. Alternatively, the second external connector 30 can connect to external accessories via magnetic connection, fixed connection, or plug-in connection. External accessories can be plugs or cables, etc., and are not limited here. When the second external connector 30 connects to external accessories via magnetic connection, it can be equipped with a magnetic element and pin contacts electrically connected to the terminal pin group 32. The external accessory is magnetically attracted to the second external connector 30 via the magnetic element and electrically connected to the pin contacts. When the second external connector 30 connects to external accessories via fixed connection, it can be equipped with solder joints electrically connected to the terminal pin group 32. External accessories can be fixed to the second external connector 30 via injection molding, ultrasonic welding, or interference fit, and electrically connected by soldering to the solder joints. When the second external connector 30 connects to external accessories via plug-in connection, it can be equipped with a plug-in interface, which can be a Type-C interface, a USB interface, or a Lightning interface. The external accessory is inserted into the plug-in interface to achieve electrical connection.
[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first external connector 20 is connected to external accessories by a plug-in method and is provided with a first plug-in interface 201. The second external connector 30 is connected to external accessories by a magnetic connection method and is provided with a second magnetic component 301 and a second pin contact 302 electrically connected to the second main PCB board 34.
[0077] Furthermore, the inner wall of the receiving groove 311 is recessed in the direction away from the rotating plate 22 and a positioning groove 312 is formed therein, and the terminal pin group 32 is disposed in the positioning groove 312.
[0078] Specifically, when the first electrical connection structure 2 rotates relative to the second electrical connection structure 3, the rotating plate 22 drives the terminal ring group 221 to rotate relative to the terminal pin group 32, and the terminal pin group 32 subsequently generates a displacement tendency to move together with the terminal ring group 221.
[0079] Understandably, the positioning groove 312 provides a space for fixing the terminal pin group 32 within the second housing 31, preventing the terminal pin group 32 from rotating together with the terminal ring group 221, which could lead to misalignment between the terminal pin group 32 and the terminal ring group 221 and disconnection of the electrical connection.
[0080] More specifically, the inner wall of the positioning groove 312 is provided with positioning holes 317 corresponding to the two ends of the terminal pin group 32, and the two ends of the terminal pin group 32 are respectively inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 317.
[0081] Understandably, the positioning hole 317 houses and protects both ends of the terminal pin assembly 32 within the internal space of the second housing 31, preventing damage caused by exposure and other reasons, thus affecting the electrical connection between the terminal pin assembly 32 and other structures, and improving the service life and electrical connection stability of the terminal pin assembly 32.
[0082] Please see Figures 3-5 Furthermore, the first electrical connection structure 2 also includes a first main PCB board 24 disposed inside the first housing 21 and transition plates 23 disposed on both sides of the first main PCB board 24 and corresponding one-to-one with the rotating plate 22; the first main PCB board 24 is electrically connected to each transition plate 23, and each transition plate 23 is electrically connected to the terminal ring group 221 on its corresponding rotating plate 22.
[0083] Specifically, in this embodiment, since two rotating plates 22 are provided in the first electrical connection structure 2, two transition plates 23 are provided on both sides of the first main PCB board 24.
[0084] Understandably, the terminal ring assembly 221 and the first main PCB board 24 are indirectly connected through the electrical connection between the terminal ring assembly 221 and the transition plate 23, and between the first main PCB board 24 and the transition plate 23. That is, the external terminals of the terminal ring assembly 221 do not need to be in direct contact with the first main PCB board 24, which frees up the space setting restrictions of the external terminals of the terminal ring assembly 221 and facilitates the wiring design of the first main PCB board 24.
[0085] Furthermore, the first main PCB board 24 has a clearance notch 241 at one end near the rotating plate 22, which accommodates part of the terminal ring assembly 221 and the end of the transition plate 23 connected to it.
[0086] Specifically, since the first main PCB board 24 is located between the transition plates 23 on both sides, the terminal ring groups 221 located on the two adjacent rotating plates 22 on the two transition plates 23 on both sides partially overlap with the signal terminals connected to the transition plates 23 and the edge of the first main PCB board 24.
[0087] Understandably, the clearance notch 241 is designed to leave extra space at the overlap between the terminal ring assembly 221 and the first main PCB board 24, so as to accommodate the external end of the terminal ring assembly 221 and avoid mutual squeezing between it and the first main PCB board 24, which could cause damage to the first main PCB board 24 or the terminal ring assembly 221 and thus affect the internal electrical connection function of the first electrical connection structure 2.
[0088] Please see Figures 3-8 Furthermore, the second electrical connection structure 3 includes a second main PCB board 34, which is perpendicular to the plane in which the rotation direction of the rotating plate 22 is located.
[0089] Understandably, when the second electrical connection structure 3 rotates relative to the first electrical connection structure 2, the relative distance between the second main PCB board 34, which is perpendicular to the plane where the rotation direction of the rotating plate 22 is located, and the terminal pin group 32 remains fixed, thereby improving the electrical connection stability between the internal structures of the second electrical connection structure 3.
[0090] Furthermore, the connector 1 includes a rotating shaft 4; each rotating plate 22 has a first rotating shaft hole 223 that passes through the rotating plate 22, and the second housing 31 has a second rotating shaft hole 313 corresponding to the first rotating shaft hole 223, and the rotating shaft 4 passes through the first rotating shaft hole 223 and the second rotating shaft hole 313; at least one limiting member 314 is provided in the positioning groove 312, and the limiting member 314 abuts against the rotating shaft 4.
[0091] Specifically, the pivot 4 is positioned through the positioning groove 312, that is, the second pivot hole 313 is opened on the outer wall of the second housing 31 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 312.
[0092] More specifically, the limiting member 314 may be optionally disposed on the side of the positioning groove 312 that is close to or far from the second main PCB board 34; in this embodiment, three limiting members 314 are disposed on the side of the second housing 31 that is close to the second main PCB board 34, and two limiting members 314 are disposed on the side that is far from the second main PCB board 34, that is, a total of five limiting members 314 are disposed.
[0093] Understandably, the rotating shaft 4, while connecting the first electrical connection structure 2 and the second electrical connection structure 3, realizes the relative rotation function between the two; the limiting member 314 abuts against the rotating shaft 4, restricting and hindering the displacement and deflection of the rotating shaft 4 during the use of the connector 1, thereby preventing the rotating plate 22 from being driven by the rotating shaft 4 to cause displacement, resulting in misalignment of the terminal connection between the terminal ring group 221 and the terminal pin group 32, and damaging the electrical connection of the connector 1.
[0094] Furthermore, the first electrical connection structure 2 also includes a sleeve 25 sleeved on the outside of the first housing 21. The sleeve 25 has through holes 251 at both ends of the shaft 4 that pass through the second housing 31, and the shaft 4 passes through and is connected to the through holes 251.
[0095] Understandably, the sleeve 25 fitted onto the outside of the first housing 21 provides the user with a structure that makes it easy to hold and rotate the first electrical connection structure 2, preventing the first housing 21 from directly contacting the outside, and further protecting the first housing 21 and its internal protective structure.
[0096] More specifically, the second housing 31 is provided with a limiting protrusion 316 at the end of the corresponding sleeve 25 near the rotating shaft 4, and the limiting protrusion 316 abuts against the sleeve 25.
[0097] Understandably, the contact of the limiting protrusion 316 with the socket 25 hinders the displacement tendency of the socket 25, thereby limiting the tendency of the first electrical connection structure 2 to move towards the second main PCB board 34 when the first electrical connection structure 2 rotates relative to the second electrical connection structure 3. This prevents the rotating plate 22 from shaking and shifting due to the rotation operation, which could lead to misalignment between the terminal ring group 221 and the terminal pin group 32, and greatly improves the structural stability of the connector 1.
[0098] Furthermore, each rotating plate 22 is parallel to each other, and the distance between any two rotating plates 22 is within the range of 1mm to 1.5mm.
[0099] Specifically, in this embodiment, the distance between each pair of rotating plates 22 is 1.3mm.
[0100] Understandably, the maximum spacing between the rotating plates 22 limits the maximum height of the first electrical connection structure 2, improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the first electrical connection structure 2, thereby limiting the overall volume of the connector 1 and effectively enhancing the portability of the connector 1.
[0101] Understandably, the minimum spacing between the rotating plates 22 provides sufficient space for the terminal ring group 221 and the terminal pin group 32 disposed between the two rotating plates 22, preventing the terminal ring group 221 and the terminal pin group 32 from squeezing each other and damaging the signal terminals due to shaking or other reasons during the use of the connector 1, thereby causing poor contact between the first electrical connection structure 2 and the second electrical connection structure 3, and greatly improving the electrical connection stability of the connector 1.
[0102] Furthermore, each terminal ring group 221 includes at least five concentric terminal rings 222; in each terminal ring group 221, the spacing between any two adjacent terminal rings 222 is within the range of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm.
[0103] Specifically, in this embodiment, the spacing between any two adjacent terminal rings 222 is 0.25 mm.
[0104] More specifically, since the terminal pin group 32 and the terminal ring group 221 are correspondingly arranged, the distance between two adjacent terminal pins 33 is also 0.25mm.
[0105] Understandably, the maximum spacing between adjacent terminal rings 222 effectively limits the maximum diameter of the rotating plate 22, which facilitates the reduction of the side area of the rotating plate 22, thereby limiting the maximum volume of the rotating plate 22, which facilitates the reduction of the manufacturing volume of the connector 1 and greatly improves the portability of the connector 1.
[0106] Understandably, the minimum spacing between adjacent terminal rings 222 provides isolation space for the two adjacent terminal rings 222, preventing adhesion between the two terminal rings 222, which could lead to short circuit of the terminal rings 222 and damage to the circuit structure, thus greatly improving the service life and functional stability of the first electrical connection structure 2.
[0107] Furthermore, the terminal rings 222 on one side of at least one rotating plate 22, in descending order of diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: GND signal, TX1+ signal, TX1- signal, VBUS signal, and CC1 signal, respectively; the terminal rings 222 on the other side, in descending order of diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: RX2+ signal, RX2- signal, SBU1 signal, D- signal, and D+ signal, respectively; the terminal rings 222 on one side of at least another rotating plate 22, in descending order of diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: GND signal, TX2+ signal, TX2- signal, VBUS signal, and CC2 signal, respectively; the terminal rings on the other side, in descending order of diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: RX1+ signal, RX1- signal, SBU2 signal, D- signal, and D+ signal, respectively.
[0108] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to better realize the transmission of electrical signals, each terminal pin group 32 corresponding to each terminal ring group 221 is provided with 10 terminal pins 33.
[0109] Understandably, when each terminal ring 222 is connected as a corresponding signal terminal, the first electrical connection structure 2 has a full 24-pin pin function, that is, the first electrical connection structure 2 can be connected and fully realize the function of a 24-pin external data plug.

[0145] Compared with the prior art, the connector and electronic device of this utility model have the following advantages:
[0146] 1. The connector of this utility model includes a first electrical connection structure and a second electrical connection structure. The first electrical connection structure includes a first housing and at least two rotating plates partially disposed within the first housing. Terminal ring assemblies are provided on both sides of each rotating plate. The second electrical connection structure includes a second housing and terminal pin assemblies. The second housing has at least two receiving slots corresponding to the rotating plates, and the terminal pin assemblies are disposed on the inner walls of the receiving slots. The first electrical connection structure and the second electrical connection structure are rotatably connected. The receiving slots accommodate the rotating plates, and the terminal ring assemblies are electrically connected to the terminal pin assemblies. On one hand, by providing at least two rotating plates, with terminal ring assemblies on both sides of the rotating plates, and correspondingly, terminal pin assemblies are provided on the two opposite inner walls of the receiving slots, the connector achieves its rotation function while placing as many information transmission terminals as possible into the narrow connection space. On the other hand, the annular design of the terminal ring assemblies facilitates the first electrical connection structure maintaining an electrical connection with the terminal pin assemblies during rotation, enhancing the electrical connection stability between the two electrical connection structures.
[0147] 2. The inner wall of the receiving groove of this utility model is recessed away from the rotating plate and a positioning groove is formed therein, and the terminal pin assembly is set in the positioning groove. By placing the terminal pin assembly in the positioning groove, the relative displacement of the terminal pin assembly caused by the terminal ring assembly is avoided when the two electrical connection structures rotate, thereby improving the internal structural stability of the second electrical connection structure.
[0148] 3. The first electrical connection structure of this utility model further includes a first main PCB board disposed inside the first housing and transition plates disposed on both sides of the first main PCB board and corresponding one-to-one with the rotating plates; the first main PCB board is electrically connected to each transition plate, and each transition plate is electrically connected to the terminal ring group on its corresponding rotating plate. By setting the transition plates electrically connected to the terminal ring groups, the terminal ring groups and the first main PCB board are indirectly electrically connected via the transition plates, thereby freeing up the space setting restrictions of the external terminals of the terminal ring groups and facilitating the wiring of the first main PCB board.
[0149] 4. The first main PCB board of this utility model has a clearance notch at one end near the rotating plate, which accommodates part of the terminal ring assembly and the end connected to the transition plate. By setting the clearance notch, the first main PCB board provides extra space to accommodate the external end of the terminal ring assembly, avoiding the situation where the edge of the first main PCB board and the terminal ring assembly are squeezed against each other, causing damage to the first main PCB board and affecting the internal electrical connection function of the first electrical connection structure, thus improving the internal structure and functional stability of the first electrical connection structure.
[0150] 5. The second electrical connection structure of this utility model includes a second main PCB board, which is perpendicular to the plane in which the rotation direction of the rotating plate is located. Through the positional design of the second main PCB board, when the two electrical connection structures rotate relative to each other, the second main PCB board and the terminal pin group are always perpendicularly positioned and the relative distance is fixed, thereby improving the electrical connection stability between the terminal pin group and the second main PCB board.
[0151] 6. The connector of this utility model includes a rotating shaft; each rotating plate has a first rotating shaft hole that passes through the rotating plate, and the second housing has a second rotating shaft hole corresponding to the first rotating shaft hole. The rotating shaft passes through the first rotating shaft hole and the second rotating shaft hole; at least one limiting member is provided in the positioning groove, and the limiting member abuts against the rotating shaft. Through the abutting relationship between the limiting member and the rotating shaft, the displacement and skew of the rotating shaft due to rotation or shaking during the use of the connector are restricted, thereby avoiding the displacement of the rotating plate caused by the skew of the rotating shaft, which would lead to misalignment of the electrical connection between the terminal ring group and the terminal pin group, and greatly improving the electrical connection stability of the connector.
[0152] 7. In this invention, each rotating plate is parallel to the others, and the distance between any two rotating plates is within 1mm to 1.5mm. By limiting the distance between the rotating plates, on the one hand, the maximum distance between the rotating plates limits the maximum height of the first electrical connection structure, thereby limiting the overall volume of the connector and effectively improving the internal space utilization of the connector; on the other hand, the minimum distance between the rotating plates ensures that sufficient space is reserved between the two plates to accommodate the terminal ring assembly and the terminal pin assembly, preventing the terminal ring assembly and the terminal pin assembly from being squeezed together due to shaking or other reasons, which could lead to damage to the signal terminals and poor contact in the electrical connection, greatly improving the service life and functional stability of the connector.
[0153] 8. Each terminal ring assembly of this utility model includes at least five concentric terminal rings; in each terminal ring assembly, the spacing between any two adjacent terminal rings is within the range of 0.2mm to 0.3mm. By limiting the spacing range between any two adjacent terminal rings, on the one hand, the maximum spacing between adjacent terminal rings limits the maximum diameter of the rotating plate, effectively limiting the maximum volume of the rotating plate; on the other hand, the minimum spacing between adjacent terminal rings prevents adhesion between the two terminal rings, which could lead to short circuits between terminals and damage to the circuit structure, greatly improving the service life and functional stability of the first electrical connection structure.
[0154] 9. In this invention, the terminal rings on one side of at least one rotating plate, arranged from largest to smallest diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: GND, TX1+, TX1-, VBUS, and CC1; the terminal rings on the other side, arranged from largest to smallest diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: RX2+, RX2-, SBU1, D-, and D+; and the terminal rings on one side of at least another rotating plate, arranged from largest to smallest diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: GND, TX2+, TX2-, VBUS, and CC2; and the terminal rings on the other side, arranged from largest to smallest diameter, transmit the following electrical signals: RX1+, RX1-, SBU2, D-, and D+. When each terminal ring is connected as a corresponding signal terminal, the first electrical connection structure can connect to and fully realize the function of a 24-pin full-pin external data plug, greatly improving the practicality of the connector.
[0155] 10. This utility model also provides an electronic device, which includes a main body and a connector, with the connector electrically connected to the main body. Through the arrangement of the two electrical connection structures, each part of the main body can be installed on either the first electrical connection structure or the second electrical connection structure according to usage requirements, facilitating different rotation methods for the electronic device and greatly improving its practicality and ease of use.
[0156] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
