Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Additionally, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 A vibration-damping electrical connector includes a first connector 1 and a second connector 2, which are connected together by multiple contact heads. It also includes a vibration-damping base 3. The vibration-damping base 3 is disposed at the bottom end of the second connector 2. Pairs of fixing plates 5 are arranged on both sides of the vibration-damping base 3, and each fixing plate 5 has fixing holes 6. Using the fixing plates 5 and fixing holes 6, the electrical connector can be directly fixed in any position, making it convenient to use.

[0029] Combined with appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5The shock-absorbing base 3 contains a shock-absorbing assembly for use with the second connector 2. This assembly includes dampers 7 and shock-absorbing springs 8. A movable plate is located at the bottom of the second connector 2, slidably connected to the top of the shock-absorbing base 3. Multiple dampers 7 are respectively located at the four corners inside the shock-absorbing base 3, with the tops of each damper 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. Multiple shock-absorbing springs 8 are respectively fitted onto the dampers 7. The cooperation of the dampers 7 and the shock-absorbing springs 8 effectively dampens the overall connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2, ensuring stable contact and preventing poor contact or loose connections due to vibration. The bottom of the shock-absorbing base 3 has an electrical connection port 4 for electrical connection with the second connector 2, facilitating plug-in electrical connection with external devices. T-shaped sliders 9 are located around the movable plate, and the shock-absorbing base 3 has T-shaped grooves 10 that cooperate with the T-shaped sliders 9. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0030] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 6 A locking structure is provided on the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 respectively, for locking and fixing the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 together. The locking structure includes a buckle 11 and a slot 13; the buckles 11 are provided in pairs on both sides of the bottom end of the first connector 1, and the slots 13 are provided in pairs on both sides of the top end of the second connector 2, and are used to cooperate with the buckles 11; the locking structure includes a spring 12 and a limiting hole 14; the limiting hole 14 is provided on one side of the slot 13 and communicates with the slot 13, the spring 12 is fixedly provided in the buckle 11, the buckle 11 is made of tough material, one side of the buckle 11 is a protrusion, embedded in the limiting hole 14. When the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are inserted together, the buckle 11 slowly inserts into the slot 13, compressing the spring 12. As the buckle 11 continues to enter, the spring 12 springs back, and the protrusion directly enters the limiting hole 14, which can lock the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 together, further improving the stability between the two and maintaining a stable electrical connection.

[0031] In specific implementation of this utility model:

[0032] First, the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are connected as one unit through multiple contact heads. The first connector 1 is directly inserted into the second connector 2, and the buckle 11 is slowly inserted into the slot 13 to compress the spring 12. As the buckle 11 continues to enter, the spring 12 rebounds, and the protrusion directly enters the limiting hole 14, which can lock the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 as one unit, further improving the stability between the two and maintaining a stable electrical connection.

[0033] Then, the top of the first connector 1 and the power port 4 can be directly plugged into and electrically connected to an external device.

[0034] In use, the damper 7 and the shock-absorbing spring 8 work together to dampen the vibration of the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 as a whole. With the guidance and assistance of the T-shaped slider 9 and the T-shaped groove 10, the connection of the overall contact point is stable, avoiding poor contact or loose connection caused by vibration.
