Detailed Implementation

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0035] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0036] This application provides a connection mechanism for outdoor equipment, used to connect the handheld main unit and functional modules of the outdoor equipment. Based on the handheld main unit and functional modules being connected by a plug and socket, a locking groove located on the outer peripheral wall of the plug and a locking assembly including a locking member and a resilient reset member are added. This allows the locking member to engage with the locking groove on the plug when the plug and socket are connected, driven by the resilient reset member, thereby locking the plug and socket. This enhances the assembly stability of the handheld main unit and functional modules and improves the user experience.

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a connection mechanism 100 for an outdoor device. The connection mechanism 100 includes a socket 110, a plug 120, and a locking component 130. Specifically, the socket 110 is located on a handheld host 200, and the plug 120 is located on a functional module 300. Alternatively, the socket 110 may be located on the functional module 300, and the plug 120 may be located on the handheld host 200.

[0039] The socket 110 is provided with a slot 1101, which is engaged with the plug 120. The electrical connection part of the socket 110 and the electrical connection part of the plug 120 can come into contact when the socket 110 and the plug 120 are engaged, so as to realize the electrical connection between the socket 110 and the plug 120.

[0040] Both the socket 110 and the plug 120 have various shapes, including cuboid, cylindrical, and other shapes. Since the socket 110 is mounted on the handheld host 200, it is preferable that the shape of the socket 110 is set according to the shape of the mounting space on the handheld host 200. This arrangement can make full use of the mounting space on the handheld host 200. Similarly, the shape of the plug 120 is set according to the shape of the mounting space on the functional module 300. The shape of the slot 1101 is adapted to the shape of the plug 120, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] There are many ways to fix the socket 110 to the handheld host 200. The socket 110 can be fixed to the handheld host 200 with screws, clips, plugs, or magnetic connections. Other methods are also possible, but will not be listed here. Similarly, the way the plug 120 is fixed to the functional module 300 is the same as the way the socket 110 is fixed to the handheld host 200, and will not be elaborated further.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 The outer peripheral wall of the plug 120 is provided with a locking groove 1201. The locking groove 1201 has various shapes, including cylindrical, prismatic, and other shapes. The shape of the locking groove 1201 is adapted to the shape of the reaction end 1312 of the locking member 131, which will be described below. The locking assembly 130 includes a locking member 131 and a resilient reset member 132. The locking member 131 is movably mounted on the socket 110. The resilient reset member 132 is mounted on the socket 110 and acts on the locking member 131. The locking member 131 has an unlocked position where it is released from the locking groove 1201 by an external force and a locked position where it engages with the locking groove 1201 by the resilient reset member 132 after the external force is removed.

[0043] Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the plug 120 is provided with locking grooves 1201 on both sides facing each other, and the locking components 130 are provided in two sets. The two locking pieces 131 in the two sets of locking components 130 can cooperate with or release the constraint of the two locking grooves 1201 to lock or unlock, thereby improving the stability of the plug 120 and socket 110 plug-in connection.

[0044] Using the above technical solution, when assembling the handheld host 200 and the functional module 300, firstly, an external force is applied to the locking member 131, causing it to be in the unlocked position, while simultaneously causing the elastic reset member 132 to undergo elastic deformation. Secondly, the plug 120 is inserted into the socket 110. Finally, the external force applied to the locking member 131 is removed, causing the locking member 131 to engage with the locking groove 1201 under the drive of the elastic reset member 132's own rebound force, thus being in the locked position. This locks the plug 120 and the socket 110, completing the assembly of the handheld host 200 and the functional module 300. Assembly of 00: When disassembling the handheld host 200 and the functional module 300, firstly, an external force is applied to the locking member 131 to make the locking member 131 be in the unlocked position. The locking member 131 is released from the lock groove 1201, which can unlock the plug 120 and the socket 110. Secondly, the plug 120 is pulled out from the socket 110, which completes the disassembly of the handheld host 200 and the functional module 300. This setting can not only enhance the assembly stability of the handheld host 200 and the functional module 300, but also make the disassembly and assembly of the handheld host 200 and the functional module 300 convenient.

[0045] It should be noted that since the locking element 131 is movably installed in the socket 110, the locking element 131 can move relative to the socket 110 in various ways. The locking element 131 can move linearly relative to the socket 110, or it can swing back and forth relative to the socket 110; no specific limitation is made here. Furthermore, regardless of whether the locking element 131 moves linearly, swings back and forth, or moves in any other way relative to the socket 110, it is only necessary to ensure that the unlocked position and the locked position of the locking element 131 do not coincide.

[0046] Please see Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment of this application, the locking member 131 is configured to rotate relative to the socket 110. Specifically, the locking member 131 has a force-receiving end 1311 and a reaction end 1312 arranged opposite to each other. The force-receiving end 1311 is exposed from the socket 110, and the reaction end 1312 is located inside the socket 110. The locking member 131 is rotatably connected to the socket 110 at a position between the force-receiving end 1311 and the reaction end 1312. The position where the elastic reset member 132 acts on the locking member 131 is spaced apart from the position where the locking member 131 is rotatably connected to the socket 110. When the locking member 131 is in the unlocked position, the responding end 1312 releases the constraint from the locking groove 1201. When the locking member 131 is in the locked position, the reacting end 1312 engages with the locking groove 1201. With this configuration, by pressing or releasing the pressing of the force-receiving end 1311, the locking member 131 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the socket 110, thereby releasing the constraint or engaging of the reacting end 1312 with the locking groove 1201, and thus placing the locking member 131 in the unlocked or locked position, which facilitates the control of the locking member 131 in the unlocked or locked position.

[0047] Preferably, the distance between the force-receiving end 1311 and the position where it is rotatably connected to the locking member 131 is smaller than the distance between the position where the reaction end 1312 and the locking member 131 are rotatably connected. This arrangement causes one side of the force-receiving end 1311 of the locking member 131 to form a power arm, and the other side of the reaction end 1312 of the locking member 131 to form a resistance arm. The length of the power arm is shorter than the length of the resistance arm, forming a lever that requires a greater force to rotate the locking member 131, thus preventing accidental rotation of the locking member 131 due to accidental contact with the force-receiving end 1311. In other embodiments, the distance between the force-receiving end 1311 and the position where it is rotatably connected to the locking member 131 can also be greater than or equal to the distance between the position where the reaction end 1312 and the locking member 131 are rotatably connected.

[0048] Please see Figures 4 to 6 Considering that the reactive end 1312 of the locking member 131 is located in the slot 1101 before the plug 120 is inserted into the socket 110, it is necessary to first press the force-receiving end 1311 of the locking member 131 to rotate the locking member 131 relative to the socket 110 until the reactive end 1312 of the locking member 131 rotates out of the slot 1101 before the plug 120 can be inserted into the socket 110. Therefore, in order to enable the plug 120 to be inserted into the socket 110 without first rotating the reactive end 1312 of the locking member 131 out of the slot 1101, in one embodiment of this application, the reactive end 1312 is provided with a guide surface 13121. The guide surface 13121 is inclined outward in the direction from the bottom to the opening of the slot 1101. With this arrangement, when the plug 120 is inserted into the socket 110... When the socket 110 is plugged in, the plug 120 is first inserted into the slot 1101 from the opening of the slot 1101 until the edge of the end face of the plug 120 abuts against the guide surface 13121. Then, the plug 120 is pressed down so that the edge of the end face of the plug 120 slides along the guide surface 13121. At the same time, the reaction end 1312 is driven to rotate away from the slot 1101, so that the elastic reset member 132 undergoes elastic deformation until the plug 120 is fully inserted into the slot 1101. Meanwhile, the reaction end 1312 is driven by the rebound force of the elastic reset member 132 to rotate towards the slot 1101 until it engages with the locking groove 1201. Thus, the plug 120 and the socket 110 can be plugged in without having to rotate the reaction end 1312 of the locking member 131 out of the slot 1101 beforehand.

[0049] Please see Figures 4 to 7In order to integrate the locking member 131 and the elastic reset member 132 into the socket 110, in one embodiment of this application, the inner peripheral wall of the slot 1101 is provided with a mounting cavity 1102. The cavity wall of the mounting cavity 1102 extends to the outer peripheral wall of the socket 110 to form an operation window 1103. The locking member 131 and the elastic reset member 132 are both installed in the mounting cavity 1102. The reaction end 1312 of the locking member 131 is located in the slot 1101, and the force-receiving end 1311 of the locking member 131 is exposed from the operation window 1103. With this configuration, by installing the locking member 131 and the elastic reset member 132 into the mounting cavity 1102, the locking member 131 and the elastic reset member 132 can be integrated into the socket 110. At the same time, the operation window 1103 facilitates the application of pressing pressure to the force-receiving end 1311 of the locking member 131. Furthermore, there are two mounting cavities 1102, and the two sets of locking components 130 mentioned above are correspondingly installed in the two mounting cavities 1102. In other embodiments, the locking member 131 and the elastic reset member 132 may also be directly installed on the outside of the socket 110.

[0050] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the elastic reset member 132, in one embodiment of this application, the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 1102 extends through to the outer peripheral wall of the socket 110, forming a clearance opening 1104. The socket 110 is fitted with a housing 210. The elastic reset member 132 is confined between the reactive end 1312 and the housing 210. Specifically, the reactive end 1312 of the locking member 131 is provided with a mounting post 1313. The elastic reset member 132 is a spring, with one end of the spring sleeved with the mounting post 1313 and the other end of the spring abutting against the inner peripheral wall of the housing 210. This arrangement facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the elastic reset member 132. Furthermore, when the locking member 131 is driven to the unlocked position by an external force, the spring is compressed; when the external force is removed, the spring, under its own rebound force, drives the locking member 131 to rotate to the locked position.

[0051] In this embodiment, the outer casing 210 is part of the handheld host 200, such that a portion of the outer casing 210 is fitted over the socket 110, while another portion of the outer casing 210 is fitted over other locations on the handheld host 200. In other embodiments, the outer casing 210 may also be configured as part of the socket 110.

[0052] The number of elastic reset members 132 can be one or more, and is not specifically limited here. In other embodiments, the elastic reset member 132 can also be other elastic elements such as spring sheets, spring blocks, and elastic arms. When the locking member 131 is in the unlocked position, the elastic reset member 132 can also be stretched; and when there are multiple elastic reset members 132, when the locking member 131 is in the unlocked position, all of the multiple elastic reset members 132 can be compressed, all of the multiple elastic reset members 132 can be stretched, or some of the multiple elastic reset members 132 can be compressed and others stretched, and is not specifically limited here.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 In order to facilitate pressing the force-receiving end 1311 of the locking member 131, in one embodiment of this application, the housing 210 is provided with an assembly port 2101 communicating with the operation window 1103; the locking component 130 also includes a button 133 that is limited between the housing 210 and the force-receiving end 1311 of the locking member 131 and exposed from the assembly port 2101. With this configuration, pressing the button 133 can realize pressing the force-receiving end 1311 of the locking member 131, thereby facilitating the user to press the force-receiving end 1311 of the locking member 131.

[0054] Preferably, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 The mounting cavity 1102 has two cavity walls with retaining strips 1105 in the direction from the bottom of the slot to the opening of the slot 1101. The retaining strips 1105 extend from the operation window 1103 to the mounting cavity 1102. The button 133 has retaining slots 1331 on both sides in the direction from the bottom of the slot to the opening of the slot 1101. Each retaining slot 1331 is slidably engaged with the corresponding retaining strip 1105 to facilitate pressing the button 133.

[0055] Further, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 A stop piece 1332 is provided in the middle of the side of the button 133 near the slot of the slot 1101. The outer peripheral wall of the socket 110 is provided with a stop groove 1106 that communicates with the operation window 1103. The depth of the stop groove 1106 is greater than the thickness of the stop piece 1332. The stop piece 1332 is located in the stop groove 1106. When the button 133 is pressed until the stop piece 1332 abuts against the wall of the stop groove 1106 near the slot 1101, the locking member 131 can be in the unlocked position.

[0056] Additionally, please see Figure 9The button 133 is provided with a pressing part 1333 that is convexly arc-shaped. The pressing part 1333 abuts against the force receiving end 1311. The force receiving end 1311 is provided with a concave arc-shaped position where the pressing part 1333 abuts against it. This allows the button 133 and the force receiving end 1311 to abut tightly, which is beneficial for applying external force to the force receiving end 1311 by pressing the button 133.

[0057] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 To facilitate the installation of the locking member 131 into the socket 110, in one embodiment of this application, the socket 110 includes a base 111 and an annular frame 112. The base 111 and the frame 112 are connected and enclosed to form a slot 1101, a mounting cavity 1102, an operating window 1103, and a clearance opening 1104. The base 111 and the frame 112 are respectively provided with a first bushing 1111 and a second bushing 1121, both located in the mounting cavity 1102. The locking member 131 has rotating shafts 1314 on both sides that are opposite to each other. It should cooperate with the first bushing 1111 and the second bushing 1121. With this configuration, the socket 110 is set up as two parts: the base 111 and the frame 112. When installing the locking member 131, first place the locking member 131 in the corresponding position of the base 111 so that one of the rotating shafts 1314 of the locking member 131 cooperates with the first bushing 1111. Then connect the frame 112 to the base 111 so that the other rotating shaft 1314 of the locking member 131 cooperates with the second bushing 1121. This completes the installation of the locking member 131, making the installation of the locking member 131 convenient.

[0058] Preferably, the base 111 and the frame 112 are detachably connected, which facilitates both the installation of the locking member 131 into the socket 110 and the removal of the locking member 131 from the socket 110. Specifically, please... Figure 10 and Figure 11 The surface of the base 111 facing the frame 112 is provided with a guide hole 1112 and a threaded hole 1113. The surface of the frame 112 facing the base 111 is provided with a guide post 1122 that mates with the guide hole 1112 and a countersunk hole 1123. The countersunk hole 1123 and the threaded hole 1113 are connected by bolts, thus achieving a detachable connection between the base 111 and the frame 112. In other embodiments, the detachable connection between the base 111 and the frame 112 can also be achieved by snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, or other methods. The base 111 and the frame 112 can also be fixed by adhesive bonding, ultrasonic welding, or other fixed connection methods.

[0059] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 12To further enhance the connection strength between the plug 120 and the socket 110, in one embodiment of this application, a plurality of first magnets 113, arranged at intervals along the circumference, are embedded on the surface of the frame 112 away from the base 111. "A plurality of" refers to at least two magnets. The plug 120 includes a plug portion 121 that engages with the slot 1101 and a fixing portion 122 connected to the plug portion 121. The outer diameter of the fixing portion 122 is larger than the outer diameter of the plug portion 121. A plurality of second magnets 123, arranged at intervals along the circumference, are embedded on the surface of the fixing portion 122 near the plug portion 121. Each second magnet 123 can magnetically connect with the corresponding first magnet 113 when the plug portion 121 engages with the slot 1101. This arrangement, with the first magnets 113 and the second magnets 123, further enhances the connection strength between the plug 120 and the socket 110. The locking groove 1201 mentioned above is located on the outer peripheral wall of the plug portion 121.

[0060] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 12 The surface of the frame 112 away from the base 111 is provided with a plurality of first mounting slots 1124 arranged at intervals along its circumference. Each first magnet 113 mates with the corresponding first mounting slot 1124. The surface of the fixing part 122 near the plug part 121 is provided with a plurality of second mounting slots 1221 arranged at intervals along its circumference. Each second magnet 123 mates with the corresponding second mounting slot 1221. This facilitates the installation of the first magnets 113 and the second magnets 123. Furthermore, the shapes of the first mounting slots 1124, the first magnets 113, the second mounting slots 1221, and the second magnets 123 are all arc-shaped and adapted to the shape of the frame 112. This arrangement increases the magnetic connection area between the plug 120 and the socket 110, further enhancing the magnetic connection strength between the plug 120 and the socket 110.

[0061] Further, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 12When the plug 120 mates with the slot 1101, i.e., when the plug portion 121 mates with the slot 1101, at least one of the plurality of first magnets 113 is magnetically connected to the corresponding second magnet 123 via its N pole. The remaining portions of the plurality of first magnets 113 are magnetically connected to the corresponding second magnet 123 via their S poles. This arrangement results in one side of some first magnets 113 being magnetically connected with an N pole, and another side of some first magnets 113 being magnetically connected with an S pole; similarly, one side of some second magnets 123 being magnetically connected with an N pole, and another side of second magnets 123 being magnetically connected with an S pole. Therefore, the plug 121 can only be inserted into the slot 1101 when each magnetically connected first magnet 113 with one N-pole side is aligned with the corresponding magnetically connected second magnet 123 with one S-pole side, and vice versa. Otherwise, if one magnetically connected first magnet 113 with one N-pole side is aligned with one magnetically connected second magnet 123 with one N-pole side, a repulsive force will be generated between them, making it impossible to insert the plug 121 into the slot 1101. In summary, this application cleverly utilizes the characteristics of opposite magnetic poles attracting and like magnetic poles repelling, which can play an auxiliary positioning role when the plug 121 is inserted into the slot 1101.

[0062] In this embodiment, four first magnets 113 and four second magnets 123 are provided. The side where two adjacent first magnets 113 are magnetically connected is the N pole, and the side where the other two adjacent first magnets 113 are magnetically connected is the S pole. Similarly, two adjacent second magnets 123 are magnetically connected, and the side where the other two adjacent second magnets 123 are magnetically connected is the S pole. In other embodiments, three first magnets 113 and three second magnets 123 are provided. The side where two adjacent first magnets 113 are magnetically connected is the N pole, and the side where the other first magnet 113 is magnetically connected is the S pole. The second magnets 123 are configured to be compatible with the first magnets 113.

[0063] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 12Furthermore, in one embodiment of this application, the surface of the frame 112 away from the base 111 is provided with a first ring 1125 surrounding the slot 1101, and the first ring 1125 is covered by a first washer 114 that inherently covers a plurality of first magnets 113; the surface of the fixing part 122 near the plug part 121 is provided with a second ring 1222 surrounding the plug part 121, and the second ring 1222 is covered by a second washer 124 that inherently covers a plurality of second magnets 123. Thus, by setting the first washer 114 and the second washer 124, the first magnets 113 and the second magnets 123 can be prevented from being directly connected during magnetic connection, thereby facilitating the overcoming of the magnetic attraction between the first magnets 113 and the second magnets 123 when the plug 120 is pulled out of the socket 110.

[0064] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 12 Furthermore, in one embodiment of this application, a first sealing ring 115 is fitted on the outer peripheral wall of the seat 111, which can enhance the sealing between the outer peripheral wall of the seat 111 and the inner peripheral wall of the outer shell 210. A second sealing ring 125 is fitted on the outer peripheral wall of the fixing part 122, which can enhance the sealing between the outer peripheral wall of the fixing part 122 and the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding position of the functional module 300.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 13 This application embodiment also provides an outdoor device 1000, which includes a handheld host 200, a functional module 300 and a connection mechanism 100 for the outdoor device as described above.
