Detailed Implementation
[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this utility model provides a detachable plug-in structure, including a female connector and a male connector 14. The male connector 14 and the female connector are connected by a detachable plug-in method via a press-to-unlock mechanism. In use, when the male connector 14 locks the female connector, pressing down on the return cover on the female connector unlocks the locking mechanism, allowing the male connector 14 to be inserted into the female connector. Releasing the press-down return cover locks the male connector 14 onto the female connector. Alternatively, when the male connector 14 unlocks the female connector, pressing down on the return cover on the female connector unlocks the locking mechanism, allowing the male connector 14 to be pulled out of the female connector, thus separating the female connector and the male connector 14. The detachable structure effectively reduces packaging space, making transportation and placement convenient and compact. When the male connector is plugged into the female connector, the cable and plug connected to the rear end of the male connector constitute the power supply line for the device. When the female connector is installed on personal health care products such as curling irons, straighteners, hair curlers, hair dryers, hot air combs, or hair straighteners, the power cord with the male connector can rotate 360 degrees on the personal health care product.
[0034] The connecting female connector includes a housing cover and a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism being located inside the housing cover. An opening in the housing cover allows the return cover of the locking mechanism to protrude; pressing the return cover unlocks and locks the connector, facilitating insertion and disassembly.
[0035] The locking mechanism includes an inner housing, a second return bracket B10, a first return bracket B6, a spring 5, a first bracket cover 4, a second bracket cover 11, a screw 3, a first return bracket A2, a second return bracket A12, a first return cover 1, and a second return cover 1. The second return bracket B10 and the first return bracket B6 are symmetrically disposed on the inner housing. The top of the first return bracket B6 is inserted into one end of the spring 5, and the bottom of the first bracket cover 4 is inserted into the other end of the spring 5. The first bracket cover 4 is fixed to the inner housing by the screw 3. The first return bracket A2 is disposed on the first bracket cover 4, and the first return cover 1 is disposed on the first return bracket A2. The top of the second return bracket B10 is inserted into one end of the spring 5, and the bottom of the second bracket cover 11 is inserted into the other end of the spring 5. The second bracket cover 11 is fixed to the inner housing by the screw 3. The second return bracket A12 is disposed on the second bracket cover 11, and the second return cover 11 is disposed on the second return bracket A12.
[0036] The outer cover 13 is fitted onto the inner shell. The top surfaces of the first return cover 1 and the second return cover 1 pass through the outer cover. The top surfaces of the first return cover 1 and the second return cover 1 are flush with the surface of the outer cover 13.
[0037] The locking mechanism also includes a male and female connector, which is located inside the inner housing. The output end of the male and female connector is connected to the load. The end of the inner housing is connected to the device housing.
[0038] The outer cover 13 has a cross-section that is a quadrilateral or a circle with a rounded transition. The opposite sides of the outer cover 13 have corresponding openings, and the top surface of the outer cover has an insertion interface.
[0039] The inner housing includes a first inner housing 7 and a second inner housing 9. The first inner housing 7 is connected to the second inner housing 9 by a snap-fit method, which facilitates installation and maintenance.
[0040] The male and female connectors include a male and female connector base 15, a connector shaft 17, a first spring 16, and a connecting spring 18. One end of the first spring 16 is connected to the end of the connector shaft 17. The connector shaft 17 and the connecting spring 18 are respectively disposed on the male and female connector base 15. This structure is simple, and the elasticity of the springs can effectively make the connection tighter, making it less likely to have a loose connection that affects use.
[0041] The male connector includes a snap-fit housing and a female connector, with the female connector located inside the snap-fit housing.
[0042] The female connector includes a female connector head 20, a second spring contact 21, and a third spring contact 22. The second spring contact 21 is snapped onto the female connector head 20, and the third spring contact 22 is located at the center of the female connector head 20. The ends of the second spring contact 21 and the third spring contact 22 are respectively connected to two wire cores in the cable 24. The cable 24 passes through the tail portion 23 of the outer casing, so that the two wire cores are connected to the ends of the second spring contact 21 and the third spring contact 22. An outer casing head 19 is fitted onto the end of the female connector head 20, and the outer casing head 19 and the outer casing tail portion 23 are connected together by a plug-in method, and are integrally injection molded.
[0043] The first return bracket B6 and the second return bracket B10 are fixed to the inner shell by the first bracket cover 4, the second bracket cover 11, and two springs 5, and by multiple screws 3. The inner shell is connected to the shells of hair straighteners, hair dryers, curling irons, etc. The hair straighteners, hair dryers, curling irons, etc. are not within the scope of protection of this application and will not be described in detail. In this application, the power cords of electrical appliances such as hair straighteners, hair dryers, and curling irons are detachably connected, which makes the above-mentioned devices more convenient and portable to store and carry, and does not take up space when carried. In use, the male connector 14 is installed on appliances such as hair straighteners, hair dryers, and curling irons. First, press the first and second return covers 1 on the female connector, causing each of the first return brackets A2 and A10 to push the first return bracket B6 and B10. Insert the male connector 14 into the appliance with the female connector, establishing a connection between the male connector 14 and the female connector. Loosen the return covers to lock the male connector 14 onto the female connector, allowing the power cable to be installed on the appliance. After use, remove the power cable, press the return covers to push the first return brackets A2 and A10 to push the first return brackets B6 and B10, releasing the connection between the male connector 14 and the female connector, allowing the male connector 14 to detach from the female connector and be separated.
