Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model applies to the field of smart home technology, and in particular relates to a female connector assembly for plugging in electricity. Background Technology
[0002] Movable partitions, also known as movable screens, are widely used in hotels, exhibition halls, and other similar settings. They are primarily used to temporarily divide a single space into multiple rooms or offices of varying sizes. Tracks are pre-installed on the top of the partition, with multiple movable partition panels suspended from the top and supported on the ground at the bottom. A drive mechanism installed on the track causes the partition panels to extend sequentially, creating spaces of different sizes. Each movable partition panel is equipped with a limit lock. Once in position, the limit strips at both ends are extended to engage with the top and ground, creating a locking mechanism and ensuring stability. The limit strips are extended through the output end of the limit lock.
[0003] Limit locks require electricity to function. Existing movable partitions, during installation, have cables and a female connector for power insertion laid in the track, while the male connector is located inside the partition. In the existing female connector socket, the spring is bent into an inverted "V" shape. When the plug prongs are not aligned with the spring, misalignment occurs. Since the spring is fixed and cannot adapt to movement, it is prone to contact failure, resulting in poor reliability and impacting the performance of the limit lock.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new female connector assembly and a movable screen for plugging in electricity to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The two support arms are spaced apart from the corresponding extensions. The end of the support arm near the circuit board extends beyond the spring body and is fixed to the circuit board. The support arm supports the spring body so that the spring body is suspended above the circuit board.
[0008] Preferably, the spring body and the two extensions together form an installation space for clamping the male connector insert. Each of the two extensions includes a first extension and a second extension. The two first extensions are bent and extended from the front and rear sides of the spring body away from the circuit board and in a direction that is close to each other. The two second extensions are formed by bending and extending from the ends of the two first extensions away from the circuit board in a direction that is far from each other. The connecting portion is formed on the left and right opposite sides of the second extension and extends in a direction parallel to the spring body.
[0009] Preferably, the two second extensions cooperate to form a cavity, the opening of the cavity is V-shaped, and the cavity is directly opposite the first through hole.
[0010] Preferably, the spring comprises two springs, which are spaced apart on the circuit board.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a female connector assembly 100 for plugging in electricity. The female connector assembly 100 includes a housing 1 having a receiving space 13, a circuit board 2 received in the receiving space 13, and a spring 3 received in the receiving space 13 and installed on the circuit board 2. The housing 1 is provided with a first through hole 14 through it corresponding to the position of the spring 3.
[0027] The spring 3 includes a spring body 31, two extensions 32 formed by bending the front and rear opposite ends of the spring body 31 and extending away from the circuit board 2, two connecting parts 33 formed by extending the left and right opposite sides of the end of each extension 32 away from the circuit board 2 in a direction parallel to the spring body 31, and two support arms 34 formed by extending the two connecting parts 33 towards the circuit board 2 respectively; the two support arms 34 are spaced apart from the corresponding extensions 32, and the end of the support arm 34 near the circuit board 2 extends beyond the spring body and is fixed to the circuit board 2, and the support arm 34 supports the spring body 31 and makes the spring body 31 suspended above the circuit board 2.
[0028] Specifically, since the support arm 34 and the extension 32 are spaced apart from each other, and the spring 3 is mounted on the circuit board 2 through the support arm 34, while the spring body 31, the extension 32 and the connecting part 33 are suspended above the circuit board 2, the spring 3 can swing within a certain horizontal range when the insert is misaligned, which effectively improves the adaptability and reliability of the spring 3.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the spring body 31 and the two extensions 32 together form an installation space 35 for clamping the male connector insert. Each extension 32 includes a first extension 321 and a second extension 322. The two first extensions 321 are bent and extended from the front and rear sides of the spring body 31 in a direction away from the circuit board 2 and towards each other. The two second extensions 322 are formed by bending the ends of the two first extensions 321 away from the circuit board 2 in a direction away from each other. The connecting portion 33 is formed on the left and right opposite sides of the second extensions 322 and extends parallel to the spring body 31. Due to the structural design of the first extension 321 and the second extension 322, the extension 32 has an overall neck shape that first contracts and then widens, making the insert more stable when inserted into the spring 3.
[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the two second extensions 322 cooperate to form a cavity 36. The opening of the cavity 36 is V-shaped, and the cavity 36 is directly opposite the first through hole 14. Because the cavity 36 has a V-shaped opening, its opening area is larger, making it easier to assemble the insert when inserting the spring 3.
[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, two springs 3 are provided, spaced apart on the circuit board 2. This makes the insertion of the insert more stable when it is inserted into the spring 3.
[0032] In this embodiment of the utility model, the housing 1 includes a first cover plate 11 and a second cover plate 12. The first cover plate 11 and the second cover plate 12 are fixed to each other and together form the receiving space 13. The circuit board 2 is fixed to the end of the second cover plate 12 near the first cover plate 11. The spring 3 is located inside the first cover plate 11. The first through hole 14 is formed on the side of the first cover plate 11 away from the second cover plate 12 and is directly opposite the spring 3.
[0033] In this embodiment of the utility model, the female head assembly 100 further includes a protective shell 4 fixed in the first through hole 14 and having a second through hole 41 extending therethrough, the protective shell 4 covering the insert spring 3.
[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the female connector assembly 100 further includes an insulating plate 5 attached to the circuit board 2 and located between the retaining spring 3 and the circuit board 2. The insulating plate 5 is made of barley paper.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the spring provided by this utility model includes a spring body, two extensions formed by bending the opposite ends of the spring body and extending away from the circuit board, two connecting parts formed by extending the opposite sides of the ends of the extensions away from the circuit board in a direction parallel to the spring body, and a support arm formed by extending the connecting parts towards the circuit board. The end of the support arm near the circuit board is installed and fixed inside the circuit board, and at least part of the structure of the support arm extends beyond the spring body, so that the spring body is suspended above the circuit board. This allows the spring to swing within a certain horizontal and vertical range, improving the adaptability and reliability of the spring and increasing its service life.
